Today's Prime Minister's Mansion, although not as lively as the wedding day, is still full of joy. Firecrackers went off one after another when the motorcade was about to arrive, and red pieces of paper flew everywhere like petals, just like a goddess scattering flowers.
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, many people were already standing at the door. Even the Prime Minister was given a day off. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, large and small, was waiting here.
In the etiquette of the feudal period, although a princess is not as high as a queen or concubine, she is still higher than an ordinary official. The royal family is as noble as heaven. As long as you bear the name of the royal family, even a beggar will enjoy the title of a nobleman.
Treat him like a prime minister.
Moreover, this princess is the wife of the only prince in Yanguo. A wife regards her husband as the most important person. This status can be said to be higher than that of any concubine in the emperor's harem except the queen. In addition, there is also a prince who came with her.
That's the most important thing.
The carriage stopped and Shangguan Ye got out of the car first. The two of them seemed to be in a cold war. Murong Qiufeng sighed, lowered his head and walked out. When he turned his head, he saw Shangguan Ye standing beside the carriage, extending his hand to him with a smile on his face.
A faint smile.
He was slightly stunned, his heart tightened unconsciously, but he glanced at the people around him, and couldn't help but laugh at himself, it was just an act.
He quickly collected his emotions, pursed his lips, and tried his best to put a smile on his face, but it looked a little pale and weak, and put his hand in Shangguan Ye's hand.
Shangguan Ye immediately took his hand, and then guided him slowly out of the carriage. Once out of the car, he held her in his arms again, the movements were natural and familiar, as if he had done it many times, and it was natural.
This time, Murong Qiufeng did not refuse anything. He pursed his lips and let Shangguan Ye take the lead.
Shangguan Ye was probably afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and accidentally say something wrong, so he used the excuse that his throat was uncomfortable, he couldn't talk too much, and his body couldn't be too tired, so he was quiet. Even the prime minister's wife wanted to pull him away.
Even though he tried to talk, Shangguan Ye refused him with the excuse of being friendly.
And he also took this opportunity to learn about Jun'er's situation. From their conversation, he learned that Shangguan Ye's excuse for them was that Murong Qiufeng was appreciated by the prince and wanted to train him well. It happened that Yu Wenhui was returning to China.
So he asked him to escort him back, and by the way, he established a good relationship with Yu Wenhui, and arranged for him to study some things at the border, and he would not come back for the time being.
Murong Qiufeng was actually a little touched in his heart. Although it was said to be a transaction, no matter from which aspect, it was Shangguan Ye who suffered the loss. In this way, it seemed that he was clearly sabotaging his affairs, but he was still there.
Helping him made his already guilty heart feel even more guilty, thinking that even if he lost his life, it wouldn't be enough to repay him one ten thousandth.
Murong Qiufeng's excessive quietness made Shangguan Ye a little worried, and he suddenly couldn't figure out his thoughts. Because of what happened in the car before, he was afraid that he would have some kind of psychological rejection. It seemed that he had pushed him too hard.
Tight.
When the prime minister returned home, they only went back to see the tea ceremony. They didn't stay long, and they didn't even stay for the dinner, so they moved to the palace.
Murong Qiufeng was already very tired. Even though Shangguan Ye helped and supported him throughout the whole process, he still felt a little weak and weak.
"If you bear with me, we can get rid of these first when we get to the palace." Shangguan Ye hugged him and let him lean on his shoulders. He gently pressed the acupoints on his waist with his hands, soothing the nerves and muscles, which made him feel a little distressed.
frowned.
Murong Qiufeng leaned against him lazily, not caring about what was awkward or not at this moment. It seemed that it was not so difficult to accept that all subconscious habits were about acting. In other words, it could be said that he had gone from being powerless to forcing himself.
Habit.
As soon as the carriage entered the palace, Shangguan Ye did not go to see the emperor immediately. Instead, he took Murong Qiufeng back to the palace where he was originally. Although he no longer lived there, he still kept everything clean and tidy.
After putting Murong Qiufeng down, Shangguan Ye ordered people to prepare some more comfortable clothes, and even tried to help him wash his face and remove his makeup.
Murong Qiufeng quickly stopped his movements. Shangguan Ye was doing things in a hurry. Before he could recover, he had already arranged everything properly. But for a woman, he might be like this.
A good husband, but he is a man.
"Your Majesty, I can do it myself."
"This is not a palace. Well, you should get used to this as soon as possible. Close your eyes and rest first, otherwise you will be even more tired later." Shangguan Ye patted his hand and comforted him.
Only then did Murong Qiufeng remember that this was already the palace. He put down his hands in frustration and closed his eyes obediently. He felt more and more disappointed and regretful. The prince was indeed a good husband. If his sister married him, she would definitely marry him.
Very happy, but a pity.
So gentle, even if he knew it was fake, even if he was a man, he would feel very warm, let alone a woman.
Shangguan Ye never tires of this job. He has always been served since he was a child. He has never served anyone except himself. However, if this job is for Murong Qiufeng, it will make him wish for more and he will be satisfied.
The maids waiting on the side were all bright-eyed and full of envy. Seeing the prince treating the princess so tenderly, the love in his eyes made everyone envious. The princess was really lucky. Not only was she born well, she grew up beautifully, and she also got married.
With such a good family, in their eyes, he is the happiest princess in the world.
After spending some time, he carefully disposed of the gold hairpins and jade on his head. He gently ran his hand along the silky hair, playing with it with some admiration. He gently pressed Murong Qiufeng's shoulder with one hand and looked at the bronze mirror.
The two figures in the middle sighed and made people bend down, "Feng, actually what I said in the Prime Minister's Mansion is true."
Murong Qiufeng paused, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the two people in the mirror, a little absent-minded, and looked at Shangguan Ye's gentle expression, as if he was back to the past. This was the first time Shangguan Ye called his name like this since he entered the palace.
.Without the coldness and alienation, he was in a daze. What did he say?
"I appreciate you very much. I have shown it since I first met you. I am not lying. I do intend to take you under my command. It's just that something unexpected happened this time and the process is different. These days, I should be angry.
, I’m so angry. I hope you won’t hold it to yourself anymore and just be yourself. What I appreciate is the same as before.
The free Murong Qiufeng, instead of the depressed and hesitant you now, we should go back to the way we got along before, okay? Forget all these things. If we really have to repay something, there will be many people who need your help in the future. Maybe in a few years I will
If I really want to go to the battlefield again, you will be my military advisor."
"Your Majesty, Qiu Feng is so virtuous and capable. Now that he has done such wrong things, Qiu Feng has lost this qualification." Murong Qiu Feng smiled lonely and bitterly.
"There is no qualification or disqualification. Qiu Feng, you are a talent and a person you can make friends with. I don't want to lose you like this. So relax, why not do this, for one year, you will live in the palace for one year, and you will still be able to live in the palace as a person."
As a princess, you can regain your freedom after one year. At that time, you can choose whether to stay or not. I will not force you to do so, and the debt between us will also be cancelled. How about that?"
"My lord, why are you..." Murong Qiufeng couldn't help but stand up, a little excited, but still worried about the people around him, so he didn't say anything out mid-sentence.
But Shangguan Ye knew what he wanted to say, smiled slightly, and patted his shoulder like his older brother, "Maybe we hit it off. Okay, go change first, I'll go out first. Don't think too much.
.”
Shangguan Ye walked away gracefully, but his words not only did not make Murong Qiufeng relax, but made him even more troubled by his inner demons. If he wanted to recover, he would probably have to work harder in the future.
To a certain extent, this can be said to be self-inflicted.
