Contract Prince

Yu Wenyan was full of anger in his heart, but when facing Xiao Muxue, he could only smash his teeth and swallow his blood, and forced a smile: "The sixth princess is right."

Xiao Muxue sent someone to bring the music score, and after flipping through it, she handed it to Yu Wenyan, and said in an expressionless tone: "This music score can prove that the son-in-law did not cheat, let alone play tricks. The king may as well Take a look."

At this time, Yu Wenyan was faced with an extremely embarrassing problem, that is, the records on the score were not words, but musical notes.Although Yu Wenyan could read a few words, he didn't know the score at all.

Compared to Xiao Country, Southern Chu is an uneducated country, no matter in terms of politics, economy and culture, it cannot compare with Xiao Country.People in Southern Chu only know the sword, light and sword, but not the rhythm of music score.

Since Xiao Muxue had already handed the score to Yu Wenyan, he absolutely had no reason not to accept it.Even if you don't know each other, it's good to slap a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

Yu Wenyan took the sheet music and flipped through it carefully, pretending to be well versed in rhythm.

"The monarch seems to be very proficient in rhythm?" Xiao Muxue asked intentionally.

"Well, I have liked to study rhythm since I was a child." Yu Wenyan said with a smile, "If you have time, please give me some advice from Your Highness the Princess."

"I don't understand one thing. Since the monarch has studied the rhythm, why did he take the music score upside down?" Xiao Muxue pretended to be surprised, with a clear look of ridicule on his face.

Yu Wenyan was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly corrected the score.He was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

When Xiao Guojun and his ministers saw this, they couldn't help laughing.Among the crowd, the one who laughed the most was Gu Yunjing.Yes, she is not only laughing at Yu Wenyan, but also proud of Her Royal Highness.

Don't ask to look down on women, but want to overwhelm men.It must be a woman like Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing sighed sincerely.

Seeing that the last stick of incense had been burned, Gu Yunjing smiled lightly and said, "How about it, the time limit for three sticks of incense has come. Will the Lord of Southern Chu admit defeat?"

Even though Yu Wenyan had a hundred reluctances in his heart, he could only bow his head and admit the fact that he lost.He casually cupped his hands towards Gu Yunjing, bit his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I admit defeat."

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice, Yu Wenyan knew that he had lost face today, and he was not in the mood to continue to stay on the hunting ground, so he made up a reason at random and hurriedly resigned.

After Yu Wenyan left, Xiao Guan let out a long laugh: "Hahaha, relieve your anger! The son-in-law did a good job today, and I will reward you a lot."

Gu Yunjing respectfully said: "Maintaining Xiao Guo's face is a matter of the minister's duty, Yun Jing dare not take credit for it."

"You don't need to be too modest," Xiao Guan said, "I have always distinguished rewards and punishments. Today you have made great achievements and deserve to be rewarded. Tell me, what reward do you want. I am happy today. As long as you want it, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"Yunjing doesn't like fame and wealth, and I really can't think of anything I want for a while." Gu Yunjing pondered for a moment, then said slightly.

If someone else said this, the emperor would definitely feel that this person was extremely hypocritical.All the people in the world are bustling for fame and fortune, who doesn't like fame and fortune?But when Gu Yunjing said this, Xiao Guan really believed it.According to his understanding, the son-in-law is indeed a gentleman indifferent to fame and fortune.

Xiao Guan was not angry, but smiled instead: "That's how it is, I will keep this reward for now, and I will reward it later when the son-in-law thinks about it."

The emperor's favor to the son-in-law is very special, not only the ministers present did not enjoy it, even the few princes were not blessed to enjoy it.Some people in the field looked at Gu Yunjing with envious eyes, while others were extremely jealous of the son-in-law.

Lu Zhong belongs to the latter.Seeing that Gu Yunjing received such an honor, his jealousy was rampant.Looking at it like this, the emperor was quite happy with the consort, which meant that it seemed even more difficult for him to replace Gu Yunjing as the consort.

The live hunting competition ended in a way that made Xiao Guan extremely satisfied.After he dismissed his ministers and several princes, he left the princess and consort alone.

"These days, you and your wife rarely enter the palace." Xiao Guan looked at his precious daughter and smiled comfortably, "Xue'er, Royal Father hasn't seen you for some time, and I miss you very much.

Xiao Guan teased: "Even if you marry as a wife, you can't just forget your father when you have a husband."

The emperor has been scheming and obsessed with pills all these years, and he still has a jealous and skeptical attitude towards important officials and princes, and he rarely jokes with others.Xiao Guan's ability to tease and smile in front of Xiao Muxue shows that he really loves this daughter.

Perhaps only in front of Xiao Muxue can he cast off the aura of the emperor and reveal the true nature of a father.

"Father, my son was a little busy a while ago, and I will often visit you in the palace when I have free time."

Xiao Guan cast his eyes on Gu Yunjing, and said slowly: "My son-in-law, I have something to say to you."

Gu Yunjing said: "I would like to follow your Majesty's instructions." Although she married Xiao Muxue as his wife, Gu Yunjing felt that there was always a gulf between him and Xiao Guan, and she couldn't call Xiao Guan her father like the princess. Emperor.

After hearing this, Xiao Guan frowned, and his tone was a little unhappy, "You are already my son-in-law, why do you still call me Your Majesty?"

At this time, Xiao Muxue cast a look at Gu Yunjing, Gu Yunjing nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and said with extremely complicated emotions: "I would like to follow the teachings of my father."

"This looks like a son-in-law." Xiao Guan's mood suddenly brightened, and he continued, "I still say the same thing, I only have Mu Xue as a daughter, and I have regarded her as my heart since I was a child. I hope you can treat the princess well. .”

"Because of the matter of Yu Wenyan and Han Jun that day, I hastily ordered you two to get married. Now that you think about it, your life-long events were indeed done too hastily." Xiao Guan said with a little guilt, "Now that all the problems have been solved, After Yu Wenyan returns to Southern Chu, I will hold a make-up wedding for you, which will be ten times grander than the previous one."

Although the time for getting married that day was very tight, the scene of the princess's wedding was not at all lost, it was already very grand: Fengguanxiapei, all the officials sent off the relatives.Although Gu Yunjing was born in a noble family, she dared not imagine the concept of ten times grander as Xiao Guan said.

Xiao Guan asked the two of them: "What do you think?"

"Father, my son is very grateful for your father's love." Xiao Muxue said softly, "However, Xue'er thinks that there is no need to hold a make-up wedding. The border is not peaceful at the moment, marching and fighting requires a lot of money, and the money should be spent on the army.

"In addition, many people on the border have suffered from wars and chaos. If the imperial court can allocate money to sympathize with the people, it will be more meaningful than organizing a make-up wedding for me. At that time, all people will praise my father as a benevolent king through the ages."

Gu Yunjing also commented: "I think what Her Royal Highness said is very reasonable."

After listening to Xiao Muxue's words, Xiao Guan's mood was very delicate.According to the original plan, he will go to Mount Tai to perform the ceremony of enshrining Zen in two months.One is to promote his own martial arts, and the other is to pray for the border soldiers.Of course, mainly for the former.

Since ancient times, enshrining Mount Tai is an extremely honorable thing, but it also consumes huge national power and money.After being told by his precious daughter, Xiao Guan vaguely felt that his actions were inappropriate.

Right now the frontier defense is not stable, the money should be spent on the military, and the imperial court really shouldn't spend extravagantly on other things.After pondering for a long time, Xiao Guan said with emotion: "Xue'er's words are reasonable, and the emperor agrees with you. I was still thinking about enshrining Mount Tai, but now I don't think it is necessary. From today on, the court's expenses will be relaxed. In the army."

Xiao Muxue said happily: "Father is wise."

While Gu Yunjing was happy, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.Her Royal Highness deserves to be Her Royal Highness, just a few words made Her Majesty dispel the idea of ​​Feng Chan Taishan.If I had known earlier, when the former prince Xiao Zhan advised Xiao Guan on this matter, he was scolded so bloody.

Xiao Guan chatted with his daughter about the daily life for a whole afternoon, and the more they chatted, the more they felt full of warmth, and their mentality suddenly became much younger.It wasn't until the dinner time that the father and daughter reluctantly ended the topic.

The dinner was originally set up to welcome Yu Wenyan, but this guy had no intention of coming to the banquet because he lost his face during the day, so he asked the envoy to find a reason to shirk Xiao Guan's banquet.

Xiao Guan was just trying to put on a show so that people would not say that he was a landlord, and it wasn't because he really wanted to entertain Nanchu's gang.Yu Wenyan didn't come, just as he wanted.

At the dinner party, Xiao Guojun and his ministers drank so heartily.The princess was in good spirits and drank several glasses of wine.Seeing this, the son-in-law picked up the wine glass and touched the princess's glass. Gu Yunjing didn't drink alcohol at first, but in order to share the joy of the princess, she still took a few sips.

The two drank while looking at each other.As far as the eyes can see, it seems that there is only room for each other, and no one else.

The purple pot of wine is warm, talking and laughing.The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the dinner came to an end.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the whole street seemed to be covered with layers of silvery white, quiet and beautiful, like stagnant water and empty sky.

The traces of the carriage wheels slowly rolled on it, and the wind on the March night was gentle, blowing through the curtains, sending people a warm and refreshing breath, just like the feeling of a young girl's jade hands sliding across a person's face.

Gu Yunjing drank some wine, the wind blew on her face through the curtain, because she was too gentle, an itchy feeling appeared on her face, she stretched out her hand to gently caress her face.

Xiao Muxue asked: "My son-in-law, what's wrong?"

Gu Yunjing smiled softly: "It's okay, it's just that the wind is so gentle that it feels itchy on the face."

"The wind in March is the most gentle and pleasant, and the moonlight in March is also extremely beautiful." Xiao Muxue opened the curtain slightly, and welcomed the moonlight into the carriage.

"Does Your Highness also like moonlight?" Gu Yunjing asked with great interest.

"I like it. When I see the moon, I think of some people and things. I have been away from them for a long time, and I can't go back. Mochizuki may be a place for my thoughts." Xiao Muxue's tone was slightly sad.

The soft moonlight poured down on the stunning woman's face, Xiao Muxue's fair face looked more transparent, like milky white pearls.Gu Yunjing was stunned for a while, and wanted to reach out and touch her in this world.

feel the most beautiful things.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the carriage, breaking the beauty of the night.
