"What the eldest brother is saying is that Kuan'er is usually neglectful in discipline. He also thinks that they are all girls, so it is not easy, so he just pampers them. After a while, he won't be able to do anything anymore." When saying these words, Rouge Kuan almost
I chewed a silver tooth into pieces, and now my intestines are turning green with regret, but what's the use?
I wanted to use this feigning illness to arouse Tuobo Kun's guilt and Bai Xiaolou's attention, but unexpectedly it ended up in the current situation. This time I really lost my wife and my army!
Bai Xiaolou sat down slowly, his expression returned to his usual gentle and jade-like expression. The previous harshness and coldness were gone. As if in the blink of an eye, he was once again a graceful and peerless young man. Rouge Button's eyes widened unconsciously as he looked at her.
, the heart also beats faster.
"My little sister is just being strict with herself, that's not okay. If you demand anything from yourself in the future, you will naturally demand the people under you as well." Bai Xiaolou said calmly, but the words he said made Yan Zhikou's heart skip a beat.
The feeling of the shy emotions that had just started being extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Rouge Button has always felt that Bai Xiaolou would never have a heart-to-heart relationship with her. No matter if it was concern or anything else, he would always keep a slight distance. To put it nicely, it means treating her indifferently. To put it bluntly, it means being distant and cold.
Rouge Button's heart became confused for no reason.
"Brother said that, please keep it in your heart." Rouge Button opened his mouth with difficulty, his eyes drooped, and his body felt inexplicably cold and trembling.
"Hasn't the King of Liao been here?" Bai Xiaolou asked seemingly casually, but it was the scar that hit Rouge Button. The tears that Rouge Button had just suppressed flowed out again, and they were surging. She couldn't control it and she used the handkerchief.
He kept moistening the tears on his cheeks and said in a trembling voice,
"After the king's men sent me to the palace, the king only told Kuo'er two things when he came back. First, he would do anything for Miss Nalan because it was love for me, and he would fulfill his promise because...
...This is the debt of the previous generation. Then, someone sent me back, wuwu..." Rouge Button couldn't bear it anymore, and she cried out as if she wanted to cry all the grievances she had suffered in Weiyang Maple Leaf Forest.
I won’t give up until I come out.
From the moment she first entered Kyoto, she arranged for four children to deliberately spread the news about her close relationship with Tuo Bo Kun. In addition, Tuo Bo Kun personally welcomed her, talked to her in front of so many people, and gave her ginseng.
, almost all the people in the capital of Northern Liao thought that the King of Liao would definitely marry her Rouge Button, but now, the man she fell in love with was paying the price of a worry-free palace to please Nalan Muliang, and did not care about her.
Whether you agree or not, I will give you Sansouci Palace with both hands!
Rouge Button could only dream of getting this pampering, this affection! But for Nalan Muliang, all of this was obtained effortlessly.
Rouge Button had never mentioned her love for Tuobo Kun before, just because when she was in the Bai family of the Snowfield Tribe, her heart had always been wavering between Bai Xiaolou and Tuobo Kun, so she did not clarify this matter.
The thing is, I just want to see if there is any possibility of development between myself and Bai Xiaolou. After all, the more cards in her hand, the better her future will be. She is an orphan and knows better than anyone what it feels like to be helpless.
!
"Brother... is it impossible for me and Wang... to be together? Is the Fourth Miss really so lovable? But Kuo'er really doesn't like her, and there are folk legends that some unscrupulous people often come into the Fourth Miss's yard.
There are bad men sometimes in the middle of the night..."
"The so-called unruly man, have you ever seen Guan'er when you went out in the middle of the night?" Bai Xiaolou said one sentence, and Rouge didn't open his mouth for a long time. She deliberately looked at him with her big eyes, with an innocent and shocked look on her face.
Although he was secretly observing the changes in Bai Xiaolou's face
She remembered that she asked him last time if he liked Nalan Muliang, and he said he didn't have any feelings. So this time... Kou'er could not see the slightest change on Bai Xiaolou's face, or anything else, and she felt a little relieved.
, as long as this nominal eldest brother does not like Nalan Muliang like other men, then she still has a chance. As for Tuobo Kun, she will not let go. With the promise of her ancestors, he is by no means a bad person.
A person who keeps his word
"It's getting late. After you have a good rest, Kuo'er, don't listen to those unpleasant rumors. If I find out that someone is spreading such rumors in this station, I will definitely ask him to bring it up." With this tone, Bai Xiaolou was already
The Limit of Patience If it weren't for the fact that Kuo'er had a close relationship with the Bai family and her father and mother were also protecting her, Bai Xiaolou would have driven her back to the Bai family at this very moment.
Rouge Button stood up solemnly, lowered his eyes, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and his two hands were held together awkwardly, giving people a feeling of innocence, weakness and crumbling.
"Kuan'er, please remember your elder brother's teachings and never listen to those words from the market again." Kuan'er replied obediently to Bai Xiaolou.
Bai Xiaolou raised his feet and walked out. When he was about to walk out of the room, his tall body paused slightly, turned sideways and said, "Don't be sad for the King of Liao, he can't marry Nalan Muliang."
After finishing his words, he turned around and left gracefully. His slender back, extraordinary handsomeness, and jade-like temperament made Rouge Button look at him infatuatedly, becoming more and more fascinated. But she also clearly heard Bai Xiaolou's last words, that was
...Takubo Kun can't marry Nalan Muliang! Then who can? Can't a worry-free city move that woman's heart? How ambitious is that woman?
…
In six days' time, it will be the day when Mu Liang will be officially crowned Princess Yuanping. These days, the General's Mansion can be said to be bustling with people coming to congratulate her. Nalan Minghui is tired of dealing with it. Anyone who wants to see Mu Liang has to come to visit her.
After being blocked by him, Nalan Minghui also secretly tested Mu Liang, asking for any money he could come up with tens of thousands of taels of gold, but Mu Liang blocked Nalan Minghui severely by saying that this is my business and has nothing to do with you.
I haven't seen her make any big moves to mobilize the funds in various stores in the past day. Under such a calm appearance, if she wants to collect tens of millions of gold in three days, unless... unless there is gold falling from the sky, all of it will fall.
Inside the General's Mansion
Since Nalan Minghui came back, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion and others have been locked up in their respective courtyards. The courtyard has not been repaired yet. They only put up a few simple tents. This is their nest. The backyard is dilapidated.
There is a sharp contrast between the desolation and the majesty and grandeur of the general's mansion gate and front yard. But neither the eldest lady nor the tough third and fourth ladies in the background dared to say a word "no".
Nalan Minghui is a powerful general in the border areas. Now that he comes back, even the emperor and the queen mother must show courtesy. Even though the third and fourth ladies’ natal families have strong backgrounds, the water thrown by the married daughter will not be the same for these two people.
My father is a well-known figure in the court, how could he jump out at this juncture to seek bad luck from the Liao Emperor? Moreover, the actions of the third lady and the fourth lady are already known to everyone. Not to mention that the two adults are trying to lose face with Nalan Ming.
It would be nice if Hui apologized face to face, but how dare he come to ask for help!
Now that Nalan Minghui does not want to settle accounts with them, they feel relieved in their hearts. They only hope that Nalan Minghui will go back soon and understand this matter soon.
But Nalan Minghui, who rarely appeared in front of people after returning in the past, was walking around frequently this time, and seemed to have no intention of going back for a while. As a result, the civil and military officials in the court began to speculate that Nalan Minghui's visit this time
What is the biggest purpose of coming back? Now that his daughter Nalan Muliang is about to be named the eldest princess of Yuanping, and his eldest son is the prime minister of the dynasty, Nalan Minghui is really going to cover the sky with one hand! Could it be,
Does he really have other thoughts when he stays in Kyoto?
Compared with the constant stream of people coming and going in the front yard of the General's Mansion, the Liuli Courtyard in Muliang is much quieter.
During this day, she sat on the roof during the day and watched Song Hui and Song Zheng training Feifeng and the others. After lunch, she sat in the yard to bask in the sun in the afternoon. Although it was sunny in the west, in this late autumn afternoon, she basked in the warm sun and read a book.
, she was still very comfortable with the turmoil outside. She didn’t want to pay attention to everything for the time being and would wait until the official canonization.
As for the ten million taels of gold, it won’t be too late to pick it up in the evening.
In the evening, dusk fell and Mu Liang went out in a carriage and asked Lao Li to take her to Yi Zhen Fengyun Zhai. She still had two questions that she had not answered. Returning to the third road, she could see the people behind Yi Zhen Fengyun Zhai.
The shopkeeper, if you answer the fourth question correctly, you can let the shopkeeper build a treasure for her for free. I believe that the drawings she is about to show will definitely be worth tens of thousands of taels of gold once built!
Thinking of this, Mu Liang showed a sly and bright smile in the carriage
"Miss, we're here." The carriage stopped slowly, and Lao Li's deep voice sounded outside.
Mu Liang suppressed the sparkle in his eyes, stood up and gently lifted the car curtain. In front of him was the gate of Yizhen Fengyunzhai. There were many shops on both sides, and it was bustling. This Yizhen Fengyunzhai opened on the most prosperous street in Kyoto, Northern Liaoning.
, but it is the only shop on this street that cannot get customers. It is not because the business is not good, but because the questions asked by the shopkeeper are too tricky and difficult to solve. There are many people who are eager to try it, but they can really solve it.
, so far, Mu Liang is the only one
The moment she was about to step out of the carriage, Mu Liang suddenly stopped and her cold eyes swept around her. People were coming and going on both sides of the street. Some people looked at her curiously. They all looked surprised after seeing her.
Shocked, Mu Liang suppressed the light in his eyes and looked around again
