Chapter 68 A talented man and a beautiful woman
In the court
"My dear Yuan, I heard that the horse was frightened. Are you okay?" Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying gently and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune, I am fine and nothing serious is wrong!" Yuan Ying bowed, his tone full of gratitude.
Murong Xuanyi stepped forward, bowed and said, "Father, there must be a mystery behind this. The horse was drugged and lost control just when Lord Yuan was saddled. This coincidence is hard to believe."
"I dare to speculate that someone may have done this intentionally. I hope that Your Majesty can see through it."
Although he knew that nothing could be found out from this matter, this move could at least make the person behind the scenes feel fearful and unable to sleep or eat.
"What Lao Wu said is absolutely right. Lu Ying, go and investigate immediately! I want to see who is so bold as to attack my court officials." Emperor Kang Ren's tone revealed unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, King Yu stared at Murong Xuanyi with a fierce gaze, as if he wanted to pierce through him.
Afterwards, Emperor Kang Ren said in a gentle voice, "My dear Yuan, you have been frightened for a long time. You should rest at home for the next few days."
"Come on! I will give you two thousand-year-old ginsengs, a pair of top-quality deer antlers, and ten rare Ganoderma lucidum."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great grace. I will definitely remember it in my heart!"
.........
When Hua Qiansong and his mother heard that Yuan Ying's horse was frightened, they were extremely worried and hurried to Yuan's mansion.
"Little Eagle...Little Eagle." I heard his voice before I saw him.
Yuan Ying was slightly surprised. After she moved last time, she gave Old Man Hua some Hami melons awarded by the emperor, and he happily went back to cultivate Penicillium. It has been a long time since he came to her house.
She happily stepped forward and said, "Master, Master's Wife, why are you here?"
Hua Qiansong walked into the hall impatiently, and examined Yuan Ying carefully, from the tips of her hair to her toes, and looked around left and right, confirming that she was not missing any arms or legs, and only then did he feel slightly relieved.
The two saw Murong Xuanyi approaching Old Madam Hua and preparing to salute, but Murong Xuanyi held them back and said, "Old Madam, we are all family, no need to be polite."
Hua Qiansong snorted coldly.
Then, Hua Qiansong said to Yuan Ying with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "Go riding less in the future, and study medicine with me in your spare time."
Madam Hua glanced at Hua Qiansong gently, and her words were full of doting: "Xiaoying, I'm glad you're okay."
A warm current surged in Yuan Ying's heart, and he said softly, "Master, Master's wife, I'm fine, don't worry."
Hua Qiansong said to Wanqiu who was standing beside him, "Wanqiu, help us clean up two rooms. We will be staying here from now on."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying's eyes sparkled with surprise and he said, "Really? Master!"
Hua Qiansong rolled his eyes at her and said, "Didn't you say you would take care of me until the end of my life? I'll give you a chance. I'll give one for one."
Old Madam Hua said apologetically, "Xiaoying, I'm sorry to bother you." Now she had nothing else to ask for, so she would go wherever Song'er went.
Yuan Ying took Madam Hua's hand affectionately and said, "Please don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home and feel free and at ease."
She was even more attentive and thoughtful, and specifically instructed Wanqiu to arrange them to live in the east wing, which was warm in winter and cool in summer, just to make the master's wife live more comfortably.
Today, Yuan Ying also showed her generosity, which was rare. She specifically asked Wanqiu to ask the kitchen to carefully prepare a sumptuous banquet with ten dishes and a soup, fully demonstrating her sincerity and enthusiasm in hospitality.
When the meal was about to start, Anyang and Dong Qingqing arrived with gifts.
"Yuan Ying, Lord Yuan, we have come here specially to visit you." The two said in unison, their words full of sincerity.
Yuan Ying smiled and joked, "You guys are so lucky to come just in time for dinner. You are in for a treat."
Several people sat down. Anyang asked Dong Qingqing to sit next to Murong Xuanyi, and he sat next to Yuan Ying. Hua Qiansong and his mother sat together.
Murong Xuanyi's face clearly revealed a hint of coldness that was difficult to conceal. However, Anyang was completely unaware of this and continued to enthusiastically try to bring the two together.
Yuan Ying felt very uncomfortable watching from the side, but he still hoped that he could have a normal life, marry and have children.
It is impossible for her and Murong Xuanyi to be together. Even if he likes her as a man, it is difficult for them to be together.
He was a high and mighty prince, and he would definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future. As a modern person, how could she accept several women sharing one man? It was disgusting just to think about it.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ying also joined in the matchmaking between Murong Xuanyi and Dong Qingqing; "From this point of view, Miss Qingqing and the prince are still a good match,"
"Yes, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Hua Qiansong stroked his beard and agreed. He wished he could find someone quickly and stay away from his beloved disciple.
Murong Xuanyi frowned slightly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Dong Qingqing.
"Thank you, Lord Yuan and Doctor Hua, for your compliments. I am so ashamed to accept them." Dong Qingqing said shyly with her eyes lowered. She secretly glanced at Murong Xuanyi from the corner of her eye.
Yuan Ying looked at this scene, feeling a little disappointed, but she still raised her glass, "Come on, let me toast you guys!"
Murong Xuanyi stared at Yuan Ying, his eyes deep and lasting, the wine glass in his hand did not move at all, then he spoke slowly in a cold and majestic tone.
"I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." After saying this, he stood up resolutely and left with firm steps, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. There was an indescribable subtle atmosphere in the air.
"Why did Fifth Brother just leave like that?" Anyang said in confusion.
"Maybe there's something urgent in the palace." Yuan Ying quickly tried to smooth things over.
Dong Qingqing's face looked a little ugly, but she quickly regained her smile.
"It doesn't matter, let's eat ours." Yuan Ying said with a smile.
The meal ended in this slightly awkward atmosphere. Anyang and Dong Qingqing went back home after the meal.
Yuan Ying wandered alone in the courtyard, feeling mixed emotions and his thoughts surging like the tide.
At this moment, she had to admit that she cared about Murong Xuanyi, liked him, and admired him. It was hard not to like such an outstanding man who was so good to her.
But her mind told her that there was an insurmountable gap between them, and she could only bury her feelings deep in her heart. She devoted herself to the work of the Ministry of Households.
At the same time, Murong Xuanyi's mood became increasingly heavy after leaving Yuan Mansion.
He felt as if he was tightly bound by an invisible force, close to the edge of collapse. He realized that he could no longer endure this torment and waiting, and he wanted to express his feelings to her immediately.
Unwilling to let this relationship waste away in silence, he made up his mind to tell her everything, even if it meant taking the risk of being rejected.
In the evening, Xie An hurried into Yuan's house and said to Yuan Ying anxiously, "Master Yuan, something bad has happened! The prince was unfortunately attacked by an assassin in the suburbs and has now disappeared."
When Yuan Ying heard this, his heart suddenly tightened: "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific situation," Xie An looked anxious.
He continued, "According to Jiang Chong, in the afternoon, the prince was in a depressed mood and went to the suburbs alone to relax. Unexpectedly, he encountered such an accident."
Yuan Ying had no time to think at this moment. She quickly ran to the stable, jumped on the agile white dragon horse, spurred the horse and galloped straight to the suburbs.
Her heart was filled with deep worry about Murong Xuanyi's safety, as if every second of waiting was torment.
Along the way, Yuan Ying scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes, trying to capture a clue from every inch of land.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, reflecting a resolute and anxious figure. The wind whistled in her ears, but she seemed not to hear it. She had only one thought in her mind - to find Murong Xuan Yian as soon as possible and ensure his safety.
Passing through the dense forest paths and crossing the gurgling stream, Yuan Ying came to a vast and open grassland.
There, she was pleasantly surprised to find Murong Xuanyi leisurely chewing grass in the snow.
Not far away, on a sturdy big tree, a familiar figure was sitting on it, with a half-smile on his face, staring at her quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.
