Ouyang Shaochen coughed lightly: "Qingyanghou is a civil servant, and Yuan Xu is also a proficiency in prose, so he doesn't know martial arts."
"Ah!" Murong Xue's eyes widened in astonishment. Dare Yuan Xu stood still, not because he didn't want to move, but because he didn't dare to move. Just get to where he is, if he runs around, the flying spells might hit him...
"Surprised?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at Murong Xue amusedly.
"En." Murong Xue nodded lightly: Whether it is Qingyan, Nanjiang or Xiliang, the children of famous noble families are basically both civil and military. It is really unexpected that the eldest son of the Nanzhao Guoqing Yanghou Mansion only studied literature...
Ouyang Shaochen smiled lightly: "For generations of civil servants in the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, the descendants also mainly focus on literature. They have very little knowledge of martial arts. Riding horses and shooting archery should be no problem. No matter how advanced martial arts are, they may not be able to dabble in them." …”
Murong Xue nodded lightly, it's good to concentrate on studying the essay, to acquire advanced knowledge, to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister...
Looking at her thoughtful face, the corners of Ouyang Shaochen's mouth curled into a graceful arc, he removed the cotton handkerchief, held up her hair, exerted a little force, a cloud of white mist rose from her hair, and in the blink of an eye, she Dissipated without a trace, the black and smooth hair slowly slipped from his fingertips, clean and refreshing.
Ouyang Shaochen carried Murong Xue to the side of the big bed, hugged her waist, lay on the bed, pulled the thin quilt beside them, and covered the two of them.
Murong Xue nestled in Ouyang Shaochen's arms, with her head resting on his arm, her breathing was clear and shallow, her dark pupils were wide open, she was completely sleepless.
Ouyang Shaochen looked down at her: "What are you thinking?"
"I was thinking, what is Ye Xuan doing in the underground palace?" Murong Xue's eyes were dark. After Ye Xuan came to Nanzhao Kingdom, he went directly to the underground palace. Until now, he has never stepped out of the underground palace. She can't find out anything about him. Message: "He will not be planning to live in the underground palace forever, he won't come out..."
"Probably not. Yexuan's martial arts is strong, and he is not a cowardly person who is afraid of death. He will never come out of the underground palace to hide from you. There should be special reasons for him not appearing for so long..."
Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, and looked down at Murong Xue: "What you should worry about now is not Ye Xuan, but the underground palace. The attack during the day has already shown that the people in the underground palace have murderous intentions for you..."
Murong Xue snorted disdainfully: "If you want to kill me, you have to see if they have such great abilities."
Ouyang Shaochen shook his head in disapproval: "This is Nanzhao, the place of the underground palace, and the shadow guard is not by your side, so you must not take it lightly."
"I know." Murong Xue nodded. Regardless of whether the enemy is strong or weak, she has never underestimated her. Moreover, she has already seen the strength of the underground palace, so naturally she will not be careless...
"My lord, in Nanzhao Kingdom, apart from the Divine Palace, are there other powerful enemies in the Underground Palace?"
"Yes, there are. However, those forces are too weak and too small, and they were all swallowed up by the huge underground palace. So far, only the Shengong can compete with the underground palace." Ouyang Shaochen said softly.
Murong Xue frowned tightly. The abominable underground palace is already so powerful. The forces that are not pleasing to the eye have basically been eradicated. She can't find anyone to cooperate with...
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince's Mansion sent invitations." Wuhen's respectful report sounded from outside the door.
Murong Xue suddenly came back to her senses, and glanced at the hourglass on the bedside table, it was already Haishi (21:00 to 23:00 in the evening): "Sending invitations in the middle of the night, this sixth prince is really different."
Ouyang Shaochen's eyes were fixed, and he stretched out his hand to suck the invitation card over, and saw that the invitation card was golden yellow, with the unique mark of the Nanzhao royal family painted on it, noble and exquisite.
Ouyang Shaochen opened the invitation card and browsed carefully, only to see that it said that tomorrow is the sixth prince's birthday, Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue are specially invited to the banquet.
Murong Xue blinked: "My name is actually written on it, this sixth prince, it's not easy." After she came to Nanzhao, she never reported her family background, Xiao Xingchen, Xiao Qingcheng, Xiao Feiyang brothers and sisters The three of them may not even know her name...
"The sixth prince is really extraordinary, with stunning literary talents and superb martial arts..." Ouyang Shaochen said in a low voice, without any emotion in his calm voice.
But Murong Xue could sense something was wrong: "Why is he still the prince?" According to the patriarchal law of the royal family, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he, the younger brother, should be crowned king.
"Because he was the most beloved youngest son of the first emperor of Nanzhao, the emperor of Nanzhao had tactfully stated on many occasions that he would pass on the throne to the sixth prince Xiao Bei. The current emperor Xiao Dong was afraid of him, so he only gave him the A prince's mansion was established, but he was not crowned king..." Ouyang Shaochen said softly.
Murong Xue nodded understandingly, it would make Xiao Dong fearful, and it would not be easy to suppress the prince who would not be crowned king...
"No, since the first emperor preferred the sixth prince to be the emperor, why is the second prince Xiao Dong ascending the throne?"
"I heard that the first emperor passed away while escaping the summer heat in a mountain villa outside. He did not leave a single word when he died. After the court elders escorted the late emperor's body back to Beijing, they originally planned to follow the late emperor's wishes to help the sixth prince succeed him. Unexpectedly, the second prince Xiao Dong suddenly took out the imperial decree, saying that the emperor passed on the throne to him..." Ouyang Shaochen said casually.
Murong Xue: "..."
What a twist...
"Have you checked the imperial decree carefully?"
Ouyang Shaochen nodded lightly: "Naturally, I checked, and it proves that the imperial decree is indeed true..."
Murong Xue stared at the sky speechlessly, she thought it would be her own throne, but it became someone else's in the blink of an eye, the sixth prince is so pitiful...
"Did the sixth prince make a fuss?"
Ouyang Shaochen shook his head: "No."
The Sixth Prince was born by Concubine Shu, and behind him was only one grandfather who was a cabinet scholar, while Xiao Dong was born by Concubine Wan Gui. Standing behind him was not only the general’s grandfather, but also the entire underground palace. The Sixth Prince knew that he was weak, so naturally Don't hit a stone with a pebble...
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, the sixth prince is a smart man...
"Do you want to attend the sixth prince's birthday banquet tomorrow?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at Murong Xue and asked softly.
Murong Xue nodded heavily: "Go, of course."
Just because the Sixth Prince is also the enemy of the Nanzhao Emperor, she should also go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to attend the banquet, to see if the Sixth Prince is really as good as Ouyang Shaochen said...
"Since you are attending the banquet tomorrow, you should rest early tonight." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, put the invitation aside, hugged Murong Xue and closed his eyes.
The faint scent of black bamboo lingered around the tip of her nose, and her warm breath sprayed on her hair. Murong Xue's consciousness was not only not tired, but also became more and more awake. She opened her eyes and looked at the curtain above her head.
"Can't sleep." Ouyang Shaochen asked softly.
"En." Murong Xue nodded.
"Then let's do something else."
