Chapter 191 The Hero is Sad
The three of them entered the new house, while Mei Changsu followed Jingrui to the Ningguohou's mansion.Getting off the carriage, Mei Changsu looked at the three-foot-tall blue stone pillar inscribed with the four characters "Pillar of the Empire" in front of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Pillar of the Empire? No doubt it is the Marquis of Ningguo. These words are inscribed by the emperor himself."
Jing Rui, who was handing over the horses to his servants, came to Mei Changsu's side and said proudly, "Father has been a soldier and has fought for the country for many years, so he has received such a gift from His Majesty."
The corner of Mei Changsu's mouth twitched, and he said with some emotion, "Yes, Lord Xie's military achievements are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Hearing Mei Changsu's praise, Jingrui smiled even more, but, facing Mei Changsu sideways, he naturally didn't see the fleeting gloomy look on Mei Changsu's face.
Mei Changsu didn't say any more, and followed Xiao Jingrui into the Hou's residence.As a guest, when you come to live in the mansion, you must first visit the owner of the mansion.
Therefore, under Jingrui's guidance, Mei Changsu saw the face that often woke him up from his dreams.
Xie Houye was checking the report of the military department, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he said with a little dissatisfaction: "This time I have been lingering outside for so long, it has even missed the Mid-Autumn Festival, if there is a next time..."
Speaking of this, Lord Xie looked away from the bamboo slips, and only then noticed the rather frail Mei Changsu behind Jingrui.Xie Houye showed surprise on his face, and changed his tone: "Is there a guest?"
Mei Changsu looked at that face, thinking of the inhumane scene 11 years ago in his heart, there was a little hatred in his eyes, but this hatred was quickly hidden when Lord Xie looked at him.
Mei Changsu's complexion was slightly sick, and he walked into the study with slightly vain steps, cupped his hands and said, "I'm here, Su Zhe, I've seen Master Xie."
Xie Yu looked at the sickly young man in front of him, and the aura exuded from him seemed quite rare.It was an aura of a superior that ordinary people would not have, but Su Zhe's name had never been heard before, so Lord Xie stared at Mei Changsu for a long time with probing eyes.
In the end, he couldn't see a thing or two, so he opened his mouth and said: "You are welcome, since you are Jingrui's friend, you are also my guest. Mr. Su can cultivate in this residence with peace of mind, and you don't have to be cautious."
Mei Changsu's face softened, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Thank you Lord Hou, Su."
After a short confrontation, Mei Changsu followed Jingrui to the Snow Cottage where Master Hou lived.On the other side, Princess Nihuang, who had just returned to Prince Mu's Mansion, received the emperor's order and went to the palace to have an audience.
After staying in the palace for half an hour, I saw Xia Dong, the head of Xuanjing, was ordered by the emperor to go to Binzhou to investigate the case of Qing Guogong. The two had a good relationship, and Xia Dong was ordered to travel. , I should go to send it off.Then, outside the city, I saw Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan who had returned to Beijing after changing defenses.
After a while, when Princess Nihuang returned to Prince Mu's Mansion, it was already night.When Mu Qing saw her sister came back from the palace, she felt a little lost, and even frowned at the dinner table, so she went to the study after finishing her evening class. Seeing that her sister was really in a daze, Mu Qing entered the study with a tired smile.
"Sister, I saw you coming back from the palace, and you have been frowning, but what's the problem?"
Princess Nihuang glanced at Mu Qing, whose face was covered with sweat, and asked, "Can the Nian brothers and sisters make arrangements?"
Mu Qing poured a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and calmed down, then said, "Don't worry, sister, you don't have to worry about such small things, but you have been like this since you came back."
"Your Majesty ordered to set up a competition platform in front of Qifeng Tower to choose a son-in-law for me."
Hearing this, Mu Qing said with joy, "This is a good thing. After all, my sister is alone and has already reached the age to start a family. However, this son-in-law has to be chosen carefully. If it is an ordinary embroidered pillow, I can't agree to my sister. Just like this, I married myself. At worst, I have to have both the literary and martial arts to force myself."
Princess Nihuang, who was originally full of melancholy, couldn't help showing a smile when she heard the words.Although Mu Qing couldn't see through Emperor Liang's real intentions, she was quite satisfied with his way of thinking that everything was about himself.
"Okay, this matter is a foregone conclusion. The specific result of the selection of a son-in-law will be known in a few days. But the Nian sister and brother need to be properly arranged. In my opinion, the two brothers and sisters are quite different from you and me. They are similar, but they can be cultivated well. How about this, from today on, let the two of them learn to read and write. After Nian Niankai recovers, let him learn some boxing and kicking by your side. If the talent is good, let Old Wei Wait for someone to take care of you."
Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded and said: "This matter is easy to solve. Although that kid looks quite thin, he has good strength. Today I saw him running around the mansion with two buckets of water easily. A good martial artist."
"Well, after the morning class is over tomorrow, bring some gifts and follow me to visit the Tang couple. Besides, Prince Jing has already returned to Beijing, and Prince Jing's mansion is not far from Changzhifang, so I will drop by to see you."
Mu Qing should be, and immediately turned around and left the study under the signal of Princess Nihuang.
…………
Inside Changzhifang's old house, Tangning looked at the messy courtyard and couldn't help smiling, "If someone else replaced this dilapidated garden, I'm afraid they'll have to be very busy these days."
Mo Shanshan didn't say a word, but quietly nestled in Tangning's arms under the gazebo.
With Wen Yu in her arms, Tangning was a little distracted. She put her arms around her delicate left hand and made some unscrupulous movements.However, when he tried to cause trouble, he was firmly held by a pair of warm little hands, and after that, he could only return disappointed.
With a wave of Tangning's right hand, bursts of energy immediately turned into sword energy. The sword energy was slightly golden, and it danced slowly in front of the gazebo. As the sword energy passed by, countless branches and leaves fluttered, and pieces of green covered the two of them. before slipping.
Mo Shanshan looked at this scene, and said calmly: "Is it not good to prune branches like this?"
Tangning smiled slightly, and tightened her left hand, making the two of them get closer, before she said, "It's okay, hurry up, get these things done, so we can rest early."
Mo Shanshan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately his snow-white skin became pink and tender under the soft moonlight.
Tangning looked sideways, seeing that the front of the pavilion had been repaired by the sword energy, so she pointed to the back of the pavilion.That's it, after an hour, the whole garden instantly took on a new look.
Tang Ning picked up the jade man by the waist, walked towards the bedroom with big strides.Mo Shanshan naturally knew what was going to happen next, so she buried her head tightly on Tangning's chest, feeling Tangning's heavy and rapid breathing, she didn't dare to raise her head but hugged Tangning's hand even tighter.
At night, Tangning carried Mo Shanshan into the bedroom, and with a wave of her hand, a weak golden light instantly enveloped the entire bedroom.The golden light flashed away, and since then, no one has been able to hear the movement in the bedroom.
The man sat up slowly, supported his waist with his hands, and rubbed his sore sides vigorously. He glanced at the shy beauty and smiled wryly. Then he got out of bed and put on his clothes.
After some time, the rustling sound of dressing stopped, the man turned his head, and saw the charm of the beauty's delicate face in the evening again. He could not help but stare for a long time, his body subconsciously leaned forward, and the two faces got closer.When he was about to touch it, the man woke up suddenly, then turned around very quickly and slipped out of the room.
On the bed, the slightly shy beauty opened her eyes, saw the man's hasty and vain back, and said somewhat harshly: "Let's see if you dare to disappear next time."
Not far away, Tangning smiled wryly, and immediately replied, "I don't dare anymore, never again."
It's just that the words fell for a long time, and the beauty didn't reply. Tangning listened attentively, but she heard some ravings from a deep sleep. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. She walked towards the kitchen with her weak legs.
After nightfall, Tangning knocked on the door of the bedroom with delicious chicken soup, and then looked around to make sure no one was peeping. Then, she dodged into the room very quickly, and then a golden light appeared, and the room became silent again. .
The next day, smiling faces lit up again, and the man and woman who had been struggling for eighteen hours finally stepped out of the room.
Under the rising sun, the young man looked sleepy, looked at his somewhat weak and pale hands, and sighed: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty..."
The beauty writing at the desk on the other side raised her eyebrows, and immediately looked at the complaining young man. The latter was startled, and hurriedly walked into the kitchen.After some action, it was almost noon.The appearance of the youth, after a brief supplement, returned to his previous glory.
At this time, Princess Nihuang came to pay a visit with the soon-to-be-adult Prince Mu, and the young man quickly came to the gate and waited.When Princess Nihuang got off the horse, she suddenly found the young man waiting at the side, and said with some doubts: "It seems that there is no trace of a servant in your mansion yesterday, how did you know that I have arrived?"
Tangning thought about the auditory hallucination yesterday, and said with a sly smile, "Sorry, I took my wife out to visit yesterday, so I wasn't here, but I didn't know that the princess had already passed the residence yesterday."
Seeing this, Princess Nihuang didn't doubt it, but stepped into the courtyard with the young prince. At this moment, Mo Shanshan put down his pen and ink, and came slowly. When he came to the two siblings, he saluted and said: Princess."
Princess Nihuang returned a salute, and then said: "Don't be too polite, although your yard is simple, but the terrain is good, and the garden plants in the yard are very neatly trimmed."
Mo Shanshan waited quietly. Tangning took the words and said, "It's a bit more simple. I heard that the plum blossoms in Prince Mu's Mansion are unique in Jinling City. After a few days, the place will be tidied up, and my wife and I will go visit one or two."
Mu Qing smiled innocently, and said: "Even if you have vision, the plum blossom, even the emperor's imperial garden, is not as good as our Mu Palace. If you like it, hurry up and let me get some for you. send over."
Tangning cupped her fists and said, "Then thank you, little prince."
Speaking of which, Princess Nihuang brought Mo Shanshan to the inner courtyard, intentionally avoiding the two of them.
"Sister Shanshan, a few days ago, I saw that you are very good at lightness kung fu, and I want to ask for advice today."
Mo Shanshan frowned, she thought Princess Nihuang had something private to say to her, but she didn't expect it to be for a martial arts competition.It's just that the matter of the martial arts competition is not because Mo Shanshan looks down on anyone, but because even if she stands still, it's not something the current Princess Nihuang can handle.
Looking at Princess Nihuang who was eager to try, Mo Shanshan couldn't say what he wanted to refuse, so he said: "Princess, since you want to compete, then Shanshan will stand here. If you If you can force me to take a step back, it will be regarded as Shanshan's loss."
Princess Nihuang, as a member of the army, has been a soldier all her life and has truly seen life and death. It is not that she has never lost, but in the past, no one has dared to speak to her like this.
What's more, Mo Shanshan showed lightness kung fu a few days ago, and she thought that Mo Shanshan was only good at it. Isn't what Mo Shanshan said now telling herself that even if she doesn't use lightness kung fu, she is still not an opponent?Although it might be true that he couldn't beat him, but being looked down upon by others naturally made him a little unconvinced.
Seeing Mo Shanshan standing there motionless, with a serious expression on his face, Princess Nihuang suppressed her emotions, and loosened her fists and feet in a serious manner.
She is not a fool, so she naturally understands that Mo Shanshan did not intentionally provoke troubles, neither did she deliberately provoke troubles, but she can only be so calm if she is absolutely confident in her own strength.
In the outer courtyard, Tang Ning and Mu Xiaowang were drinking tea in the gazebo. Seeing Mu Qing talking about him, they smiled knowingly, and immediately took a green pear from the table and handed it to Mu Qing.
"The little prince came here today with a worried expression all the time, is there any difficulty?"
Mu Qing took the green pear, took a bite and said, "Hey, to be honest, brother Tang, this time when I return to Beijing, my sister wants me to take over the Yunnan Palace, but I know that I can't do better than my sister now. Now, His Majesty the Emperor wants to recruit a son-in-law for his sister, and his intention is naturally to keep her in the capital, but if my sister stays in the capital, with my current ability, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to fight against Nanchu alone."
"For so many years, I have been idle and wasted a lot of time. Now that I have gradually taken over the Yunnan Palace, I realized how much suffering my sister in the past has borne for me and Daliang."
Tangning smiled when she heard the words, and after taking a sip of tea, she opened her mouth and said, "Princess Nihuang is a hero among the girls, and she is even a leader in the army. If it weren't for this, how could the southern border of Daliang have been so stable for more than ten years? As for the little prince's troubles It is nothing more than a preliminary takeover, and I feel that many things are difficult to handle, which leads to frustration of confidence and some self-doubt.
This kind of thing, as long as you work hard, I believe the little prince will be able to adapt soon.As for the matter of recruiting a son-in-law, there is no need to worry about it, Emperor Liang is nothing more than afraid of the master of Mu Wang's palace.It's normal for the emperor to have this fear. As long as your siblings have no two hearts, you can make up for this distrust after the new king succeeds to the throne. "
Hearing this, Mu Qing was a little vigilant and said: "You have nothing to stop you from speaking. His Majesty the Emperor is currently in good health, so don't talk too much about the succession of the new king. You know, the current Jinling, because of the position of the East Palace, but There have been many disputes. If your words fall into the ears of others, I am afraid they will punish you for disrespect."
Tang Ning said jokingly, "Although the young prince has just reached adulthood, he is thoughtful enough to show that the young prince is not a dull person. But on weekdays, the young prince seems to be..."
Mu Qing smiled shyly, and avoided talking after eating the green pears: "Although I don't know about brother Tang, I have heard about Sister Shanshan's martial arts. I was wondering, can you..."
Tangning's expression froze immediately, and she quickly said, "Little prince, be careful, I've already got married, and marriage is a big deal, so there's no need to discuss it again."
Seeing the disappointment on Mu Qing's face, Tangning continued, "Don't worry, nothing has happened yet. No one can be sure about the future. Although the young prince's worry is not unreasonable, it is still too early."
Seeing that Mu Qing was about to say more, Tangning quickly looked at the sun and said quickly, "It's already noon, I'll go prepare some food and drink, the princess and the young prince will have dinner here at noon."
Seeing this, Mu Qing didn't say much. After wandering around the yard for a while, he came to the kitchen.Originally, he thought that there was no one available in Tangning's residence, so he would help him out, but when he came to the kitchen, he found that Tangning was already ready.
At the kitchen counter, there were colorful vegetables and the smell of meat that was constantly tumbling in the cauldron, making Mu Qing swallow subconsciously.
Tangning smiled, and quickly walked back and forth in the kitchen. In the kitchen, except for Mu Qing who was already stunned, only Tangning was busy.
Half an hour later, the stunned Mu Qing wiped the drool on his chin, looked at the cooked food, took a greedy breath of the scented air, and said embarrassingly: "Brother Tang, you are too sweet!" ..."
Tangning didn't look back, but found a white porcelain bowl, filled the pot with the snow-white bone soup, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Qing didn't speak, but gave Tangning a thumbs-up, and then started to follow Tangning's example, carrying the dishes and walking towards the door.
