Chapter 27

Jiang Mingwei sat in the flower hall and waited for a long time. After two cups of tea, Mu Mingtang still didn't come out. Jiang Mingwei is a little annoyed. She is quite sure that Mu Mingtang did it on purpose.

Mu Mingtang is deliberately hanging her, so as to show off his prestige. Jiang Mingwei despises this kind of means very much. She sneers at it in her heart. Sure enough, the people are ignorant. Even if she is granted the title of princess, she can't get rid of her family spirit. Look at the style of the nouveau riche. It's ridiculous to say it.

Mrs. Jiang saw that Jiang Mingwei's face was not good. She winked at her several times. At last, she said with a dry smile, "is Princess an busy? Why hasn't she come out for so long? If the princess has something to do, we might as well come back another day. "

Xiang nanchun stood on one side, every move was very respectful, said: "Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin will wait for a while, the princess and the prince will come."

Mrs. Jiang noticed something, and before she could respond, a maid's greeting came from outside the flower hall. Mrs. Jiang stood up in amazement and saw Mu Mingtang walking in slowly. It was Xie xuanchen who was walking beside her.

Even Jiang Mingwei stood up and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She thinks, Mu Mingtang is deliberately hanging her, really did not expect Xie xuanchen also came together.

Xie xuanchen, isn't there only one breath left?

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei were stunned for a while, and immediately saluted Xie xuanchen: "king an, Princess an."

Xie xuanchen hasn't come so far for a long time. He doesn't want to show his fatigue in front of outsiders. Mu Mingtang walks very slowly and stops to see flowers and birds. Mu Mingtang doesn't know why Xie xuanchen suddenly wants to see Jiang's family, but it's a good thing that he is willing to go out. Mu Mingtang immediately helps him change a black purple coat and crown his hair. When the two of them are ready, they will come slowly to know how long it has been.

It turns out that Mu Mingtang has been banned in Yulin hall. When Xie xuanchen wakes up, just like Xie xuanchen's chain, her foot ban order passes quietly. No one mentioned it, no one said it. The bodyguards didn't mention it, and Mu Mingtang didn't pursue it, so he pushed the boat forward and regained his freedom.

After the two of them appeared, the atmosphere in the flower hall became obviously different. In recent years, although the royal residence of Qiyang is known as the royal residence, it has been vacant for a long time, and many places are just like furnishings. For example, the meeting hall has not been used for a long time.

Now the two masters of the palace are seated separately. Even if the flower hall is still empty, it seems that they are endowed with dignity at the moment. After sitting down, seeing that Xie xuanchen didn't mean to speak, Mu Mingtang said with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin are very polite. Please take your seats. "

Jiang Mingwei feels magical when she sits down. She can't help looking at Xie xuanchen quietly. As like as two peas, a fierce brow, a careless eye and thin lips, though pale, many eyebrows are still the same.

The last time she saw him was two years ago.

Jiang Mingwei has a very strange feeling. She looks at Xie xuanchen and doesn't know where she is or what year she is. Xie xuanchen's name is so profound that few people in the capital don't know him. Even Beirong, who was thousands of miles away, could make the people of the Yelv family dare not act rashly just by saying his name.

Xie xuanchen is more like a symbol than a person. People in the imperial court were afraid of him, resented him, and hated him, but they also regarded Xie xuanchen as their dependence. At least three years ago, no one worried about the war.

Jiang Mingwei's impression of Xie xuanchen also stays on this label. The only time she saw Xie xuanchen up close was at the Zhuque gate in Hongjia's second year. He was a young man in red and white, and he was full of swagger. Jiang Mingwei was shocked by the sight.

Later, in the second year of the founding of the people's Republic of China, Xie xuanchen's madness caused a lot of uproar. Xie xuanchen was ruined. People said that Xie xuanchen was no longer in awe. Jiang Mingwei was also reminded by Jiang Honghao and Mrs. Jiang several times not to get close to Xie xuanchen, not to talk to Xie xuanchen, or even to any person related to Xie xuanchen.

He seems to be some kind of fierce beast. He will die at a glance. After that, Jiang Mingwei fled his marriage in the second year, and then spent the long years of Beirong and his rebirth. So many things in the past, Xie xuanchen almost disappeared from Jiang Mingwei's memory, Jiang Mingwei can't even remember Xie xuanchen's specific appearance.

But today I caught off guard and saw that year's palpitation and shock all came back to my heart. Jiang Mingwei carefully looks at Xie xuanchen at the moment. He is undoubtedly much thinner than he was then, but he is still straight and slender with picturesque eyebrows. Especially those eyes, still with the arrogance and carelessness of youth, have not changed at all.

He was thinner and taller than when he was 15 years old, as if his age had not left any trace on him. He was still full of youthful spirit. At the same time, his facial features grew, his cheeks were angular, his sword eyebrows were starry, his nose was straight, but his lips were pale, his skin was pale, and he had a fragile aesthetic feeling.

Jiang Mingwei never thought that she would see Xie xuanchen again. Even after she sorted out the time line of her previous life, she thought Xie xuanchen was dead. Even if goodbye, what she expected was a bony, lifeless patient, or a unkempt, incoherent lunatic.

In any case, should not be at present this kind of, thin and weak expensive childe appearance.At the moment, Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang are sitting side by side on the red sandalwood plain armchair. Xie xuanchen is wearing a black purple robe. After his belt is tied up, he looks tall and straight. Mu Mingtang was wearing a long white dress with red upper Ru and a big blue purple sleeve shirt, which was a little lighter than Xie xuanchen's coat. Two people sit together, as if it is specially with good general, unspeakable coordination.

Jiang Mingwei's inexplicable strength is not up again. She is looking at Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen sitting side by side. How can she see it.

Mrs. Jiang had been waiting for Jiang Mingwei to make her opening remarks. Jiang Mingwei is the princess of Jin. Mrs. Jiang is just a companion. Today's main venue should be Jiang Mingwei. But after Mrs. Jiang had waited for a long time, she did not see Jiang Mingwei speak. Mrs. Jiang frowned in her heart and glanced at Jiang Mingwei. She saw that Jiang Mingwei looked at Xie xuanchen, and her expression seemed to be in a trance.

Mrs. Jiang frowned more tightly. She coughed a little. Seeing that she had attracted everyone's attention, Mrs. Jiang laughed and said, "I didn't expect that his royal highness is here. I didn't greet him. It's disrespectful. How is your highness recently

When Jiang Mingwei looks at Xie xuanchen, Xie xuanchen is also looking at her. When he saw Jiang Mingwei, he seemed a little confused. Then he looked at Mu Mingtang and Jiang Mingwei, and his expression became more and more confused. Hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, Xie xuanchen turned his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Jiang: "are you..."

Mu Mingtang worried that Xie xuanchen would not give face before she went out. The fact proved that she didn't misunderstand Xie xuanchen at all. He is really such a person. Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's smile became stiff, Mu Mingtang quickly said, "this is Mr. Jiang Honghao, the wife of Mr. Jiang and the mother of Princess Jin."

"Well." Xie xuanchen nodded and said, "it's the Chiang family. I remember the family that adopted the princess, also named Jiang? "

"Yes, I am." Mrs. Jiang didn't show her cold shoulder at all. She still said with a smile, "I have two daughters. My eldest daughter is Mingwei and my second daughter is Mingtang. Recently, I heard that your Highness's condition was getting better. I came here specially to say congratulations. I also want to see Mingtang "

" Congratulations? " Xie xuanchen laughed and said, "it's OK to come to see the princess. Congratulations are unnecessary. It's said that the Chiang family adopted Mingtang because Mingtang looks like a lady in your house? "

Jiang Mingwei was in a trance when she heard her name. Everyone said that Mu Mingtang was like her. Although Jiang Mingwei didn't like having a scholar around her, she had to say that she was secretly proud of it. Now listening to Xie xuanchen talking about himself, Jiang Mingwei immediately raised her heart, even her waist straightened unconsciously.

Jiang Mingwei looks forward to Xie xuanchen's next words.

Xie xuanchen takes another look at Jiang Mingwei. When Jiang Mingwei and Xie xuanchen look at each other, their heart beats faster. But then Xie xuanchen took back his sight and said, "how long are the eyes of the people who spread these words, which is also called image?"

Jiang Mingwei was stunned. Even Mrs. Jiang didn't expect Xie xuanchen to come in for a long time. What she noticed was this kind of thing. With a gentle smile, Mrs. Jiang said, "the children's outline when they were young is different from that when they grew up. The two sisters are mainly similar in spirit, but inferior in shape."

"The charm is not very similar." Xie xuanchen looked at Jiang Mingwei from a distance, turned back and said to Mu Mingtang seriously, "you are much more beautiful than her. Who in the world said that you are like her?"

Mu Mingtang coughed gently. She wanted to carry fan with a smile, but she couldn't help it: "prince, Princess Jin and Mrs. Jiang are still here. You will be embarrassed to say that. What's more, every flower comes into every eye. The princess of Jin is the king's favorite. As long as the king looks good, that's enough. "

Mu Mingtang's words sound like a way out for Jiang Mingwei, but after listening to her, Jiang Mingwei is even more angry. What does Mu Mingtang mean? What does the king of Jin look good? That's enough? Is Jiang Mingwei not good-looking?

Jiang Mingwei is angry. It's bad enough for her to be told that she's not good-looking by the object she met. As a result, her former rival still sits on one side of the table, flirting and adding fuel to her feelings. It's strange that Jiang Mingwei's mood can be better. Jiang Mingwei's face was ugly and she was about to sneer, but she was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.

"Ming Wei." Mrs. Jiang pressed her hand with a bright warning in her eyes, "your highness and Princess an are your brother and sister-in-law. Your elder brother is like your father, and your elder sister-in-law is like your mother. Don't be rude to your majesty."

Jiang Mingwei can only stifle it. Others in her face mocked, Jiang Mingwei can not refute even if, but also accompanied by a smiling face to accept: "do not dare to be a sister-in-law. Mingwei knows that she has little talent and learning, and Pu Liuzhi's posture makes her become the imperial concubine of Jin Dynasty. Mingwei is in great fear, but she hopes to serve the king of Jin with virtue and ambition, so as not to return to the expectation of the emperor. As for the love of the king of Jin, I really don't deserve it. "

Mu Mingtang said with a smile: "the words of Princess Jin are too modest. The king of Jin is very affectionate to you. Everyone who sees and hears you is moved. If the king of Jin is not true love to you, how dare other men in the world say that they love their wives? "

Xie xuanchen didn't know why he heard a smell of vinegar from Mu Mingtang's words. He was a little unhappy and asked, "what about me?"

Mu Mingtang wants to get in touch with Jiang Mingwei, but he never expects that the one who hits her behind is not her opponent, but her teammates. She was a little embarrassed, looking back at Xie xuanchen, eyes constantly to the outside signal: "the Lord is certainly not the same ah, I am talking about the world in addition to the Lord outside the man."Mu Mingtang keeps winking, Xie xuanchen can calculate convergence some, did not give her down. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei are sitting at the bottom of the table. Seeing that they are wearing matching clothes, they are in harmony with each other. It seems that they have been forced to pour a jar of vinegar into their hearts.

It's too sour for Mrs. Jiang to sit down. The main purpose of her visit to Prince an's mansion today is to make her stand, but she also means to see Mu Mingtang. In Mrs. Jiang's imagination, Mu Mingtang's marriage to a husband who is ill at any time should be a melancholy and self pity, if not a tearful one.

Mrs. Jiang originally concluded that Mu Mingtang was complaining about them in her heart, but she had to be content. As an adopted daughter, Mu Mingtang could not compare with her own daughter. Mrs. Jiang wanted to persuade Mu Mingtang to be content and accept her fate. She was ready to have a bellyful of words, but she didn't expect to see Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang didn't look gloomy. On the contrary, she looked ruddy and safe. She spoke casually with Xie xuanchen, and seemed to have a good relationship with her husband and wife.

This is a bit embarrassing. Just now, after persuading her own daughter about her uncle's not going home, Mrs. Jiang turned around and came to her adopted daughter, who thought she was miserable and miserable, but she was shown a look of love.

Jiang Mingwei and Mu Mingtang got married at a similar time, and they both got married into the patriarchal clan. Good people always compare their affairs. When it comes to comparison, it's just that people enjoy the sense of superiority. After all, one is the story of the right family and the end of the marriage; the other is the story of the right family and the end of the marriage.

The reason why they failed to marry the prince was put on this point by many women. On the contrary, they ridiculed Mu Mingtang, who turned sparrow into Phoenix. Although Mrs. Jiang disdained to be like a folk woman, she always had a sense of superiority in her heart.

As a result, the fact made Mrs. Jiang feel very embarrassed. His own daughter has just complained that she has not been married for seven days. However, Mu Mingtang, who has been looked down upon by the public, is very proud. She has been promoted to be a princess and has received a disguised apology from the Empress Dowager. Even in the palace, she also helped her husband to meet the guests. They stood side by side. They looked like each other, talked and laughed freely, and could not say that they were at ease.

Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed, but then she thought that Xie xuanchen couldn't survive this winter. What's the use of Mu Mingtang now? She was not doomed to be lonely and widowed? This made Mrs. Jiang feel better, and Mu Mingtang's eyes changed from embarrassment to pity.

It's really pitiful. In fact, this couple is quite right. It's a pity.

Mu Mingtang found that Mrs. Jiang's eyes slowly changed, which made Mu uncomfortable. Mu Mingtang is very familiar with this kind of pity. Some people are really bored. When they pity others, they never think about whether they are used or not.

Mu Mingtang laughed at Mrs. Jiang and said, "I always talk like this with Wang Ye, which makes Mrs. Jiang laugh."

Mrs. Jiang's eyes became more compassionate. Looking at Mu Mingtang, she seemed to sigh and said, "what's the princess saying. Although you didn't live in Jiang's house for a few days, you are just like your own daughter in my heart. You're having a good time with king an, and I'm not happy yet. "

Unable to understand, Mu Mingtang looked at Mrs. Jiang silently. Mrs. Jiang was so moved that she had to wipe her eyes. Mu Mingtang resisted the impulse of rolling his eyes and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie Jiang is very lucky. Of course, my Lord and I will always be very good."

Mrs. Jiang sighed in her heart. Up to now, Mu Mingtang is still trying to maintain her face. I'm afraid she doesn't know the diagnosis of Taiyi. Mrs. Jiang sighed even more to Mu Mingtang. Pitifully, some people seem to have boundless scenery now. She thinks that she is walking on a broad road. In fact, there are cliffs under her feet.

Mrs. Jiang sighed in her heart and ignored Mu Mingtang's offence. Anyway, she won't last long. Why not bear her for a moment? Mrs. Jiang said with a kind smile, "that's good. You two sisters are all my worries in my life. Now that you are married, I can feel at ease. Before you got married, you were sisters. After you got married, you became a sister-in-law, and you just happened to live in a neighboring house. It's really fate. You two should walk around a lot. Mingwei and Princess an are younger than you, but now they are your sister-in-law. They all say that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You should serve her as an elder. "

Although Xie xuanchen ranks second, his elder brother died at the age of seven or eight. Xie xuanchen is actually the eldest in Xie's family. Mu Mingtang, of course, is worthy of this sentence.

When Mu Mingtang heard that his elder sister-in-law was like a mother, she was happy in body and mind, but she was more or less modest and said, "how good is this? I'm younger than the princess of Jin. I'm a little embarrassed that Princess Jin treats me as a mother. "

Jiang Mingwei knew that Mrs. Jiang's words were meant for the palace. She had been patient. As a result, Mu Mingtang went up shamelessly. Jiang Mingwei scolds in the heart, how big face, be a mother for her? She Pooh!

Jiang Mingwei was so angry that she vomited sour water. Mrs. Jiang pressed Jiang Mingwei tightly, and said with a kind smile to Mu Mingtang, "what's the matter? No matter what happens before marriage, since she has become a family, she has to go according to her husband's family. The princess is Mingwei's sister-in-law. It's right to be her

After that, Mrs. Jiang looked back at Jiang Mingwei and put pressure on her. She said, "you should always come to greet your sister-in-law in the future. If you have any orders from king an's house, you can't shirk them. Do you remember? "Jiang Mingwei takes a look at Mu Mingtang, but she is reluctant to do so. But Mrs. Jiang was her mother. Her mother could not help but follow her words. Jiang Mingwei could only stand up and quickly blessed herself and said, "yes."

Mrs. Jiang looked relieved and stood up and said, "I come here today to see king an and Princess an. Now I know that king an is getting better and Princess an is doing well. I have nothing to worry about, so I leave first. "

Mu Mingtang stood up with a smile and said politely, "Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin have just come. Don't you sit down more?"

"No. Concubine body inconvenience disturb an Wang to recuperate a disease, with little daughter first leave. Princess, please stay in the house and take care of your highness. There's no need to send her away. "

Mu Mingtang took two steps. Seeing this, he stopped and said, "good. Xiang nanchun, send Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin for me. "

Xiang nanchun takes several servant girls to see Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei out. After waiting for someone to leave, Mu Mingtang returned to his seat and felt comfortable all over: "I used to look at people through my nostrils, but now I'm not going to pay my respects. It's good to have a high seniority. How much advantage can you take in terms of address? "

Just now when Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei left, Xie xuanchen didn't mean to get up and give them away. Now when he heard Mu Mingtang's words, he gave a smile and asked, "do you care so much about Jiang Mingwei?"

Do you care about Jiang Mingwei or Xie Xuanji?

Xie xuanchen thought that Mu Mingtang should at least have a good explanation. He didn't expect that Mu Mingtang seemed to be reminded of something. He turned around and gave him a definite look. Suddenly, he pulled the corner of his mouth with a smile: "if you don't tell me, I'll forget. What's your relationship with Jiang Mingwei? "

Xie xuanchen was surprised to pick next eyebrow: "you interrogate me?"

He is still waiting for mu Mingtang's explanation. As a result, Mu Mingtang even questioned him in the tone of catching a traitor?

Who is the traitor of whom?

"As soon as she entered the door, she was looking at you, and she was reluctant to move her eyes all the way. Look at the look in his eyes. He looks sad and happy. He's just looking at his old lover Mu Mingtang said that he wanted to slap his sleeve on the table. "No wonder you heard that Jiang Mingwei was coming, and immediately said that he wanted to come out in person. Dare feeling, is to see old acquaintance
