Prince Jing's Mansion
Xu Tianyou looked at the luxurious sandalwood boxes piled up in the yard, and raised his eyebrows slightly: Murong Xue actually returned all the betrothal gifts, and didn't give Prince Jing any face, it's really arrogant.
His cold eyes glanced at the bruised and purple faces of the people carrying the box, and he said in puzzlement, "It's just a trip to Zhen Guohou's mansion with the dowry, why are you all injured?"
"Back to Mr. Xu, Miss Murong hated the prince for forcing the marriage, and ordered the guards of the Marquis of Zhenguo to drive away the low-level officials. The low-level officials couldn't dodge in time, so they were injured like this." The servant said in a low voice, with a respectful attitude.
Xu Tianyou's sharp eyes narrowed sharply: "Is it the order from Murong Xue himself?"
"Yes." The servant nodded, paused and said cautiously: "Butler Wang also lost two teeth by Murong Xue."
"Really?" Xu Tianyou looked at Steward Wang in surprise, only to see that his lips were tightly pursed, he said nothing, his gloomy expression showed that what the servant said was true.
Steward Wang has taken care of Prince Jing since he was a child, and he has won the trust of Prince Jing. Prince Jing's staff, subordinates, and even friends have treated Steward Wang very politely. Murong Xue dared to hurt him. It is really arrogant and stupid, but: "Murong Xue is a Known for his gentle temper, why did he suddenly become so strong? Could it be that he was playing hard to get, trying to attract the prince's attention?"
"Probably not!" Ye Yichen walked out of the study room. He was wearing a loose purple robe, which was long and elegant. Xue is playing hard to get, you only need to do things against this king, there is no need to cut off your brother's five fingers."
"What? Murong Xue cut off Tian'an's finger!" Xu Tianyou was startled, his expression gloomy and terrifying: "When did this happen?"
"Shortly after the cleansing banquet, Murong Xue had a bet with your brother in the Colosseum, and your brother lost." Ye Yichen said lightly.
Xu Tianyou gritted his teeth when he heard that, fighting animals in the Colosseum, you can bet on gold, silver and jewellery, silk and satin, antique calligraphy and paintings, Murong Xue actually bet on his fingers, and actually cut Tianan into a cripple, it is really deceiving: "My lord, Gentleness and kindness should be just Murong Xue's disguise, the real her is arrogant and domineering, cruel and ruthless, such a person cannot be a good match."
"This king knows, and this king has never thought of making her a concubine." Ye Yichen's eyes were cold.
When Xu Tianyou heard this, most of the gloom in his eyes disappeared instantly. The prince liked Princess Yuyan, so he was over-concerned: "What about the wedding in three days' time?"
"It doesn't need to be a big event, but it must be publicized by everyone. Please invite all the ministers and their families to the wedding banquet, and prepare a pink sedan chair to welcome Murong Xue into the door..." Ye Yichen ordered in an orderly manner.
The more Xu Tianyou listened, the brighter his eyes became. The side concubine of the palace can enter the mansion in a sedan chair carried by four people. The prince actually gave her a small pink sedan chair, obviously to humiliate her and trample her. As long as Murong Xue sits in it, it is true Zheng's concubine is a lowly aunt in Prince Jing's mansion.
Murong Xue was arrogant and refused to be a side concubine, so the prince reduced her to a lowly concubine, stepped her into the dust, made her lose face in front of civil and military officials, and was pointed at by the world. How proud!
Murong Xue was overwhelmed, and provoked Prince Jing time and time again. This was already the best end for her. He couldn't wait to see Murong Xue's miserable state of being as humble as mud, wanting to cry without tears.
The sun is shining and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Murong Xue bathed and freshened up, and after eating breakfast, she slowly walked out of Luoxue Pavilion.
For three days, she has been bored in the warehouse of the main courtyard and counted her mother's dowry. She just finished counting at Xushi last night. In addition to the three and a half boxes of jewelry sent by Song Qingyan, the dowry is not bad. She can finally rest and go out to get some air. up.
Opening the courtyard door, I saw Murong Ye walking back and forth outside the door, his handsome and childish face was stained with deep anxiety: "Brother, what happened?"
Murong Ye paused, looked at her puzzled eyes, and sighed heavily: "Today is the day when Ye Yichen is going to accept you as his side concubine, why are you not in a hurry?"
"I'm not going to enter Prince Jing's mansion to be his concubine. What's there to worry about? Could it be that he still dares to force her to marry me?" Murong Xue didn't think so, she passed Murong Ye and Shi Shiran walked forward.
Murong Ye followed closely behind her, with a rare solemnity in his dark jade eyes: "Ye Yichen has made great military exploits and has a powerful army in his hands. The princes are all courteous to him, such as marrying a concubine forcibly." Things, he might really be able to do it."
Murong Xue snorted softly: "Even if he dares to marry by force, we need to give him a chance so that he can succeed. If we are not in the Zhen Guohou Mansion, even if he comes with a sedan chair, he will return without success."
Murong Ye was taken aback, and stared at Murong Xue carefully, only to see that she was wearing a plain white Xiang skirt, her jet-black hair was loosely tied up with only a white jade hairpin, she didn't wear earrings or jade bracelets, and the breeze blew up her plain white hair. The hem of the skirt made her look like a fairy who was leaving in the wind: "Sister, why are you dressed like this?"
Murong Xue smiled lightly: "I'm going to pay respects to my parents and grandfather at the ancestral grave, so naturally I have to dress plainly."
"Ah!" Only then did Murong Ye realize that Hongxiu and Anxiang were each holding a basket, which was filled with ingots, incense candles and other sacrificial objects.
"Do you want to go together?" Murong Xue asked softly.
"Okay, okay!" Murong Ye nodded heavily. Ye Yichen is a very powerful person, and he distributed invitations widely, inviting civil and military officials and family members to attend his concubine banquet, even if he married in the Zhen Guohou's mansion If you don't reach your younger sister, you will never give up easily!
He is young and weak, so he can't fight against Ye Yichen, but before dark, he will always be by his sister's side and protect her.
The ancestral grave of the Murong family is in the suburbs, a bit off the official road. After getting off the carriage beside the official road, Murong Xue and Murong Ye walked to the ancestral grave.
Lighting the incense candles and placing them in front of the tomb where Murong Yue and his wife were buried together, Murong Xue began to burn paper money: "Birth is the same fur, death is the same hole, this couple is really loving, I hope they have a good pregnancy in the next life, safe and happy life A generation.
Murong Ye carried another basket to the tomb of Lao Zhen Guohou, placed incense candles, and made offerings: In the past, he would only come here to worship during New Years and festivals. Like now, he has nothing to do It's the first time I came here to burn paper money...
'Ping ping pong! ' A slight sound of fighting came into his ears, interrupting Murong Ye's thoughts, he frowned in confusion, and followed the sound: "What happened?"
In order to protect his younger sister, he brought more than 20 guards with him when he left the mansion, and ordered them to guard nearby after getting off the car. It was obviously quiet just now, why did they suddenly start fighting? The vicinity of the capital has been patrolled by officers and soldiers, and I have never heard of any robbers, robbers.
"It's okay!" Accompanied by a cold answer, a young man strode over from the woods. He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, his figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his handsome face was as cold as ice, and his sharp eyes were like stars. , it was King Jing Ye Yichen!
