Emperor Que Shaohua

After Mu Shaoqing returned to Huaibi Village with King Jing, he was placed in a quiet courtyard in the back garden.He was heavily influenced by Sanskrit music and needed to recuperate for a period of time. In addition, the harm caused by the perverse action was too great, even if the circumstances were justifiable, he had to be punished, so he was ordered to confine himself to contemplate his mistakes, and he never took a step out of the courtyard these days.

Luo Pingyuan was worried that King Jing was tired, but it seemed interesting to sneak away to see the dejected look of the mighty Master Mu Shaozhuang, so he hesitated for a while but did not object.He felt that if Mu Shaoqing felt guilty and desperately wanted to see the emperor brother, at this disgraced stall, the last person he wanted to see was probably himself.

The two walked slowly along the path, passed several pavilions, trees and stones, crossed the small bridge and flowing water, and walked to the small courtyard amidst the rustling of plantain leaves.

"My lord, you are better!" The guard guarding the gate was surprised and happy to see the suzerain, and hurried over to salute.

Luo Yanhua signaled that there is no need to be restrained: "How is Master Mu Shao doing recently?"

He was asking casually, but the two guards showed strange expressions at the same time, and it was quite difficult to say anything.

"Mu Shaozhuang's master, the master can tell at a glance, and the subordinates can't tell whether it is good or not." One of them replied, "Also, Miss Jiang just came to visit, and she has been in for a while."

King Jing and King Ning looked at each other, both puzzled.The courtyard door was ajar, and Luo Pingyuan could see a neat bamboo house inside, the lamps were already lit in the house, figures reflected on the windows, and faint voices could be heard.He became very curious, so he didn't ask any more questions, and walked in lightly.

At other times, Luo Yanhua didn't want to disturb his cousin and Mu Shaoqing's alone time, and would probably turn around and leave, but seeing that King Ning had already taken a step ahead, and he was actually aroused by such a trace of curiosity, so he made a gesture to the guards. With a gesture of keeping quiet, he followed the trend and entered the courtyard to see what happened.

"Wanli, just be a little softer, can I count my mistake?" Carefully approaching a few steps, the conversation in the room was clearly audible, it was Mu Shaoqing's voice, accompanied by a gasp, "Look at Qin The Deputy Commander is a man of few words, but his fists are harder than anyone else's!"

"Complain again, I am more aggressive than A Su!" The girl's voice was clear and sweet, but a little faster than usual, as if she was angry, "Drinking medicine is too bitter, recuperating is too boring, and as the culprit, I don't see you crying and repenting. You actually have the nerve to sigh and sigh, and don’t think about food and drink, and you still expect everyone to forgive you with this attitude?"

"It's not a girl's house. Even if you regret it, you still keep it in your heart. How can a big man cry?" Mu Shaoqing choked obviously, and said sullenly, "And, Wan Li, you don't know, they don't confess to me at all. The opportunity to apologize, after entering the door, they will beat people without saying a word, one is more ruthless than the other!"

As he said that, his tone became very aggrieved: "The first one was Xie Xiao. I just mentioned that I wanted to see the suzerain, and he turned black and beat me head-on. I couldn't fight back, so I had to let him beat me to my heart's content; Within three days, Zhu Jin came, and I was having a headache, how should I apologize to him, but the old man couldn't help but punched me, and I was beaten again; within two days, it was Guan Chan's turn to rush to the door, coldly With a straight face, he chose the unimportant and particularly painful position to attack, and he was not afraid of ruining his younger brother; and then that guy Bai Qingyuan, who must have held grudges when he lost to me in the sword competition the year before last, and took the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge... They definitely made an appointment, On purpose, it’s okay to use me as a sandbag to vent your anger, but I didn’t forget to say hello to my face, and I didn’t even save any face! How could I care about repenting, and it’s too late to hide from my wounds!”

Unexpectedly, on a whim, Luo Pingyuan almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard such an exciting content. He said strangely that the guards outside said that he could tell if it was good or not. The handsome face of Master Mu must be green with ribbons these days, which is very good-looking.He looked towards Prince Jing, Luo Yanhua also had a look of dumbfounding.

The two of them held back to keep quiet, Jiang Wanli in the room couldn't help but groaned: "Do you think you still have such a thing as face? Who made you look so proud, now the retribution is coming?"

"Treating the body of a crime has no face, I'm not used to it yet." Mu Shaoqing sighed, "I'm not dissatisfied, but these guys just pat the dust and walk away after the fight, I asked How is the suzerain's condition? If I ask if I can visit, they will give me a glare at most and ignore me, which is really unkind."

"You made my cousin so ill, I wouldn't want to talk to you if I changed it." Jiang Wanli said, seeming a little annoyed, "What are you doing with a sad face? Think about it, Ah Su is in the mood to trouble you Now, isn't it a good thing?"

Luo Pingyuan thought to himself, the commanders and deputy commanders of Langhuan were not ruthless, at least they conveyed Mu Shaoqing's request to the emperor after venting their anger.But Miss Jiang is more likely to soften her heart. She gave her reassurance so quickly. She really should let Master Mu continue to worry about it and regret it for a while, so that she can learn a lesson deeply in the future.

Mu Shaoqing was really refreshed: "Not only Vice Commander Qin, but also Wan Li, you are willing to come and see me, he... the suzerain, did you see me well?"

Jiang Wanli didn't answer right away, and only sighed after a while: "Shaoqing, I actually didn't want to talk to you anymore. Cousin has worked hard for many years and his health has been poor. He not only treats you as his subordinate, but also You regard him as a trustworthy friend, how could you hurt someone so much and make him worse? Although you were plotted against, if you hadn't been too proud and stubborn in the past few years, and refused to explain the misunderstanding, how could you have been betrayed by the enemy? As the target of alienation?"

Mu Shaoqing bowed his head and remained silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he could hear him limply: "I'm really introspecting, but I'm going to hit the wall when I think about what happened. Shenhua was seriously ill because of being involved , Wanli, I have trouble sleeping and eating every day. I want to see him, but I'm afraid that I don't know what to say when we meet. Xie Xiao and the others call him in turn, and I... I actually feel better. "

His tone was a little nervous, as if he was not used to admitting his mistakes, but the emotion in his tone was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

There was a moment of silence in the bamboo house before Jiang Wanli said softly: "If someone is willing to come here to beat you up, it's because they have a big heart and don't care about past suspicions. Now that your nose is bruised and your face is swollen, it means that you will still be brothers in the future. If you keep muttering about being unhappy and unhappy, There is no cure!"

"I understand it in my heart," Mu Shaoqing hurriedly said, but she was still a little bit resentful. "Where is the dissatisfaction? I am very happy, so happy, I am grateful. Only Yu Lingzhu must have been offended by me, so far I still don't like it." Refusing to give credit is really making people worry."

Luo Pingyuan almost couldn't help laughing, even if he hadn't witnessed Master Mu's misfortune, he still felt quite interesting just hearing about it.Since entering the courtyard, he and Jing Wang were not silent, but the two people in the bamboo house were concentrating on the conversation, and they didn't notice it.

"How many storms Yu Lingzhu has experienced, how can he have the same knowledge as you, but he is too lazy to mess around with him!" Jiang Wanli seemed to still have a straight face, but it has obviously eased a lot, "You will go to apologize in the future, that's all .By the way, Mr. Zhen also said a few words of love for you, because he just earned more than 30 taels of silver from Fengyun Casino."

"No matter how it is discussed in the end, as long as I still have a chance, I will definitely go and apologize one by one." Mu Shaoqing said, "Wan Li, you... have you forgive me now?"

He seemed to be waiting with bated breath, but the room fell into a long silence.

"I don't know." The girl finally said, "For a while, I was really angry and worried. You became so strange, you turned your back on your companions, and you didn't show any affection. If it wasn't for cousin Not only I can't bear the situation, but everyone can't bear it, years of hard work will be in vain!"

Her crystal-clear voice was full of confusion and pain: "Fortunately, my cousin found out the reason and made a countermeasure. He said that you will definitely come back. But I still can't sleep night after night, having nightmares, and fearing the worst outcome , we killed each other; when I was most desperate, I felt that I could never go back to the original, you were too wrong, and it was no longer a matter of unforgiveness; but sometimes I wondered, is it because I always quarrel with you You were so angry and unfeeling that you suddenly became so fierce that you insisted on being at odds with your cousin? If it causes a catastrophe, I will also bear the blame, and even if I die and apologize, I will not be able to atone for it!"

The smile on Luo Yanhua's lips faded unknowingly. He knew that his cousin and Mu Shaoqing had feelings for each other. The road is unclear, and the description is getting darker and darker, so they can only let them solve it by themselves.But unexpectedly, Wan Li felt deeply guilty. Could it be that there were twists and turns that she didn't know about?

"I was originally bad, narrow-minded and extreme. You don't need to blame yourself." Mu Shaoqing was a little anxious, but his voice was somewhat disheartened, and he said slowly, "Knowing that Shenhua is your only relative , but every time I see you thinking about him and always thinking of him first when things happen, I feel uncomfortable. As a subordinate, I always want to fight against the court and make some blockbuster moves to make everyone, especially Let you admit that I can also do great things and become great things, and I am more worthy of respect and admiration than the suzerain who is far away. So I have already lost my head and can't listen to advice. Nan Gongchen tried to provoke, but I feel that I agree."

He gritted his teeth: "Facts have proved that I am so stupid, I am just a reckless man who shows off his blood, and there is nothing that can compare with the Lord. If he hadn't suffered an accident and lost his skills, maybe I would not even be a match for swordsmanship. Shen Hua is indeed very good, as you said, he is a thousand times stronger than me, and your waiting and entrustment are all worth it. I have made a big mistake, and I don’t know what punishment will be. No matter what, I will never do it again. Wishful thinking, entanglement is forcing you."

Before the words fell, there was a "snap", someone had already received a clear blow on the face, and Jiang Wanli choked up and said: "I shouldn't be soft-hearted to see you, and want to ask for forgiveness? You clearly want to live driving me mad!"

Luo Pingyuan and his elder brother looked at each other, but through the bamboo wall, they couldn't see the expression of the Lord of Elegy, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad. "My cousin is my relative, and he is in a dangerous situation. I don't worry about him. Should I be thinking about you, a cynical stick and arrogance all day long? What are you waiting for and entrusting? If you speculate, you will Who am I now!"

The shadow of the lamp swayed and reflected on the window paper. She got up to leave, but was firmly held back.Master Mu Shaozhuang seemed to be at a loss, but also seemed to have a glimmer of hope: "Wanli, I waited so long to talk to you for a while, don't leave, let's stop arguing, okay? If you say something wrong, You can vent your anger however you want!"

As he pleaded softly, he obviously began to feel wronged again: "That time in Huaibizhuang years ago, it was obviously you who said it, no matter what I do, you are not interested in knowing, anyway, I can't even match a hair of the suzerain Come on! Also, no matter how good my swordsmanship is and how strong I am, if you say a word bad about your cousin, you will never want to see me! Also, I hate pretentious lunatics like me the most..."

"It's all because of you!" Jiang Wanli said angrily, "Who made you arrogant? For a while, you say that no one can invite you to participate in the Three Kingdoms Tournament in Los Angeles in person, and for a while, you become eccentric, saying that your cousin is not doing his job properly, To gain fame and reputation, as a subordinate, not only does not work hard, but also ridicules, is that human talk!"

…………

Luo Pingyuan was speechless for a while, he understood why Mu Shaoqing and Jiang Wanli were also considered childhood sweethearts, and they often had opportunities to meet and get along, but they always had misunderstandings and couldn't understand each other's mind for a long time.One is proud and reserved, the other is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and they all have a strong and serious temper. If this quarrel continues, what is the difference from twisting twists?

"Shaoqing, why don't you understand? To me, a cousin is a cousin, and you are you. You are different, but they are both very, very important, and you must never lose them." At that time, Jiang Wanli finally calmed down, and said in a low voice, "The lesson is before us, right and wrong, should we continue to argue, and then repeat the same mistakes, let my cousin and my companions pay the price for you and me? These days I Thinking of many things, you are not the only one who made mistakes, because I am also self-willed and should take responsibility."

She has always been restrained, and such a direct expression is unique. If Mu Shaoqing still doesn't understand, she is really a stick made of elm lumps.

"Wanli, you are not wrong." The voice of Master Mu, who never showed weakness, trembled slightly, "I was fooled into thinking that you had been waiting for Shenhua. He is the suzerain that everyone expects. Respected status is far more important than me, as soon as I appear, I am nothing..."

"Cousin is of course far more important than you. Year after year, everyone is waiting for him!" The girl in white said mercilessly, probably because Master Mu's expression was really complicated, she paused and softened Voice: "But the mess in your mind is never what I really care about. If you have to compare, you have many advantages. As the owner of Wanjian Villa, you have superb swordsmanship and are recognized as a rising star in the martial arts world. , Ming Jian also admires you from top to bottom. However, in my mind, all of these are dispensable, not very important or great; just like my admiration for my cousin is not due to his status, nor is it all because of his status. It's because of talent."

She was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Shaoqing, you may not know that even though you can win every time you win the Yuezhan sword and win a great reputation, in my eyes, these victories together are not as good as you. That time in the flower hall, I bowed my head and admitted my mistake. When you regained your sobriety, understood the truth, and then chose to put down your pride in front of everyone, and frankly said that you were convinced and willing to admit defeat, I have never looked at you with admiration and respect! Maybe you feel very It's embarrassing and embarrassing, but Xie Xiao and Yu Lingzhu think the same way. Otherwise, why do you think I would still come to see you, and why are everyone willing to come to see you? Come alone one by one!"

Master Mu Shaozhuang didn't say a word, probably in the process of digesting, so he couldn't react for a while.The girl sighed leisurely: "You, what a fool."

Luo Pingyuan listened intently, felt his sleeves being pulled lightly, looked back, Luo Yanhua smiled and pointed to the gate of the courtyard.He suddenly realized that it was a coincidence that he stumbled across a few lines of dialogue. He was overheard with great interest for so long. As himself and the emperor's brother, it seemed embarrassing.His ears felt a little hot, so the two tiptoed out again, more cautious than when they came in.

After staying outside the bamboo house for a while, the twilight has been replaced by night, the gentle breeze envelops the unique water vapor in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are little warm lights in the halls and houses near and far.Luo Yanhua thought of the two silhouettes reflected on the window of the bamboo house, his cousin and friends, relatives, friends and subordinates living in this hometown.In my impression, Wanli has a gentle temperament, toughness and tranquility, but in front of Mu Shaoqing, she seems to be a little different naturally, she will be short-tempered, lose her temper, stamp her feet, and be as lively as other girls of the same age; and who Can you imagine that if the arrogant Master Mu Shaozhuang was slapped in the face, how could he enjoy it?

"Brother Huang, I'm afraid the doctor is already angry, we have to go back as soon as possible." Because Luo Pingyuan's relationship is far away, the feeling is not so deep, and the speed of recovery is much faster.If you ask him what he thinks, it's that the girl's family's thoughts are really like a needle under the sea, it's really hard to guess, and Mu Shaoqing will become the emperor's brother-in-law ninety-nine out of ten in the future, and it's indispensable for him to meet him face to face.

Luo Yanhua nodded with a smile, after all he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was already a little tired.Glancing at King Ning beside him, His Highness the Fifth Highness has not conferred a marriage yet, and when he returns to Luo City, the emperor will not procrastinate any longer.And in Lantai on the outskirts of Miyagi, there is still a girl who has just turned 17 years old. Perhaps she is also looking at the night sky, waiting for an unknown fate.

When Jing Wang and Ning Wang walked back to their residence along the gurgling water with the chirping insects, there was indeed a person in the courtyard of the imperial capital Luocheng who was pacing in the courtyard at night, thinking hard, but it was not with a pair of Du Tangli with apricot-shaped eyes, but Prince Luo Wenxiao who is under house arrest.
