"Where?" Yelu Nanxian looked puzzled. Now the two of them are unaccompanied in Xixia, and the only mission they know can't go back. They really can't think of a safe place to hide.
"Jietan Temple." Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment, but still told the destination of the trip. Now the whole Lingzhou City is in a state of turmoil. Soldiers are everywhere to search for Li Qiushui, and spies are investigating the situation of Yelu Nanxian. On the contrary, only the Jietan Temple The side is the safest place, because it is the place where "sinners" are placed, which corresponds to the saying that the most dangerous is also the safest place.
Originally, it could be done in the palace, but Song Qingshu couldn't stay with Yelu Nanxian at every step. It would be too dangerous to leave her in the palace once he went out to do business.
Jietan Temple is much better, and there are Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian who can take care of each other with her.
Of course, Jietan Temple also has another problem, that is how to explain the existence of Mu Wanqing to Yelu Nanxian, and how to introduce Yelu Nanqing to Mu Wanqing after arriving at Jietan Temple...
On the way, Yelu Nanxian learned about some past events between him and Mu Wanqing, and sighed faintly: "From the moment I met you, I knew that you were a big carrot, and I was still thinking about why those women were so stupid. Such a day."
Song Qingshu also looked apologetic: "It's my fault. You treat me wholeheartedly, but I can't repay you wholeheartedly."
Yelu Nanxian shook his head: "It's not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and a man who has always been capable is surrounded by countless confidante, who can treat women as equals like Brother Song, who is considerate and considerate. rare…”
"Actually, I'm not as good as you said." Song Qingshu felt embarrassed after being praised by her for a while, and at the same time secretly said that there are still things worth learning in feudal society. Splash the rhythm of the spot.
In fact, it’s not just that the mainstream values of this era are more patriarchal. Another very important reason is that when Yelu Nanxian first met him, he knew that there were many confidante around him, so he had relatively low psychological expectations in this regard. At the beginning, she knew him as an affectionate and dedicated person, but now she dared to step on two boats like this, she probably couldn't accept it.
Therefore, you must be cautious when playing with character settings. If you are not careful, like those stars in later generations, the personal settings will collapse at every turn, which often brings a devastating blow.
Song Qingshu knew that it was not wise to continue this topic, so he wanted to divert the topic away: "I saved Li Qiushui, and when she recovers from her injuries, she will definitely make a comeback. She has been running Xixia for decades, and the network of forces is intricate, so it is not so easy to fail. Sometimes they are fighting each other, and we are watching from the other side to see if we can find any opportunities."
"Well, Brother Song, don't be impulsive, and don't take risks. At worst, we will leave Xixia." Yelu Nanxian asked a few words, and quickly brought the topic back, "By the way, tell me more about Miss Mu thing."
Seeing her preoccupied appearance, Song Qingshu knew that she was worried about how to get along with the other party in the future, and felt uneasy, so he took her hand apologetically and gently comforted her, and revealed Mu Wanqing's matter to her by the way, of course these Things are selective, ignoring some details of love and romance, and more about introducing the Mu family's affairs this time, and even talking about Li Yuanhao's going to Qin Hongmian's bedroom to steal incense and jade .
Yelu Nanxian was also ice-snow smart, so he easily guessed his tricks, but he didn't choose to expose him, just listened quietly, and he roughly sketched Mu Wanqing's image and character in his mind.
Finally arrived at Jietan Temple, there are still soldiers guarding the outside of Jietan Temple, but something like this happened in Lingzhou City in the past two days, which made everyone panic, and the soldiers at the bottom were even more panicked.
Song Qingshu brought Mu Wanqing along, and it was easy to sneak in. The monks in the temple were obviously also discussing the imperial annexation, and there were not many people to see along the way.
When she came to Mu Wanqing's room, she was talking with Qin Hongmian, when she saw Song Qingshu suddenly appear, she couldn't help jumping towards Song Qingshu with joy.
"Brother Song, I haven't heard from you for the past few days, so I thought something happened to you!" Mu Wanqing expressed her heart without reservation. Qin Hongmian, who was at the side, saw this son-in-law-to-be, and subconsciously thought of the previous few days. What happened last night, she couldn't help but blush, not knowing how to face her.
"Huh, who is this?" Mu Wanqing finally found Yelu Nanxian behind Song Qingshu, and couldn't help asking.
Song Qingshu had no choice but to explain to her with trepidation. When he found out that she was the prospective princess, it was rumored that her beauty caused the father and son to fight each other, and the mother and daughter changed countenance.
"I came to Xixia this time to cover up my identity as a general to marry..." Seeing Mu Wanqing's expression, Song Qingshu explained with a wry smile.
"I thought you came here specially to propose marriage this time, but I didn't expect it to be for other women." Mu Wanqing bit her lip, tears were streaming from her eyes, but she forcibly held back them from falling.
She has a jealous nature. In the original book, even Zhong Ling and Duan Yu, who had a good relationship since she was a child, would like to say a word. In this world, she and Song Qingshu have experienced a lot of hardships together, so she barely managed to treat him. The confidante beside her turned a blind eye, but seeing Yelu Nanxian now, she still couldn't stop feeling wronged and irritable.
"Mother, what you said before is indeed correct, there is nothing good about a man." Mu Wanqing simply ignored him and ran over to put her arm on her mother's shoulder.
Song Qingshu had a headache, and the blessings of Qi people were really not that easy to enjoy, so he had no choice but to wink at Qin Hongmian and let her rescue him.
Noticing that he winked at her, Qin Hongmian blushed, thinking, what are you looking for me for? Originally, with her fiery temper, she would probably help her daughter to scold these stinky men together at this time, but thinking about what happened that night, she felt a little guilty for some reason, and hurriedly said to her daughter: "Wan'er, stop messing around, and let the princess hang out. What's the point here."
As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. Why did she help outsiders to speak? She didn't want outsiders to know what happened that night. Would the other party dare to show it in front of Wan'er
But her casual remark woke Mu Wanqing a little bit, she didn't want to leave an impression of pettiness and jealousy in her lover's heart, especially in front of other competitors, but she couldn't change it if she immediately greeted him with a smile It was so fast, I couldn't help but stand there for a while.
When the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, there was a sudden noise outside, and then a thin voice came: "Imperial decree!"
Song Qingshu was shocked. He chose Jietan Temple because it was considered a half-forgotten place. Now that Li Liangzuo is so busy, why would he give an imperial edict to this place
"Brother Song, Sister Nanxian, you can hide behind." Mu Wanqing finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly said to the two of them.
"Thank you, sister Wanqing." The two girls finally got on with each other, but it's unclear how sincere these two voices are.
After the two hid well, Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian prepared their appearances to meet the father-in-law who delivered the decree.
"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the Mu family has a daughter who is both virtuous and beautiful, beautiful and intelligent... I have been specially chosen as the queen, and I will marry you on a certain day, hereby!"
