Chapter 30 Family reunion, outing outside Jinyang city

Xiangxiang didn't want to drive overnight, but the guards outside were already waiting, so she had no choice but to pack the child's clothes, eat, and leave Xiaoji City in the carriage overnight.Xiangxiang thought that the two dogs were left unattended, and brought them back to Lingzhi County.

Guo Tian and Guo Chen's family had been worried day and night, for fear that Murong Li would be bad for Xiangxiang.This morning, seeing Xiangxiang come back, I was really happy.Mrs. Guo Chen hurriedly made food for Murong Jie. While she was busy, there was another commotion outside, and a guard came to report: "Mrs. Xiang, by the order of the prince, send the little princess to my wife."

When Xiangxiang heard this, she was really happy now, and almost ran out like flying.It wasn't a carriage outside, Guo Yang came back with Xiao Xuanxuan, she didn't want to take a carriage, she insisted on letting her uncle take him on horseback.Seeing Xiangxiang at this time, she was still a little strange. When Xiangxiang left her, she had hardly started to remember.Guo Yang came over with her in his arms, first called Guo Chen's mother, fearing that she would make his sister sad, so he got off his horse and carried her over: "Call mother!"

Xiangxiang ran fast at the beginning, but at this time she became a little scared and stood still and dared not get in the car.Xiao Xuanxuan looked around suspiciously for a while, and called out to Guo Chenshi: "Mother." Everyone laughed, happy and sad at the same time.

Xiangxiang led Xiaoxuanxuan home, and Lanyou and Xue Jinping took care of the child for her, but they never mentioned their mother to the child.So the child does not reject her.Guo Tian went to hug the little princess, with tears in his eyes: "It's all right now, it can be considered a reunion." It was the first time he and Guo Chenshi saw Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan's nose was like Murong Li, and her eyes were like Xiangxiang. Compared with her mother, she is a little more heroic.

Back at Guo's house together, Mrs. Guo Chen hurriedly arranged for meals, and finally Guo Yang came back, and the family was having a reunion dinner.

Xiangxiang put the younger son to sleep, and little Xuanxuan couldn't stop for a moment. At this time, she just arrived in Lingzhi County, and the scenery she saw was completely different from Jinyang. She didn't know where to go crazy .

Xiangxiang just went out to look for it, when she heard a scream outside: "Little Princess! Oh my God!" Xiangxiang rushed out, only to see Xiao Xuanxuan riding a pig, rushing forward like a shooting star!The pig kept shaking her head, trying to get her down, but she held the pig's ears with both hands, and kept saying "drive!" Finally, the pig bumped into the wood pile, and she fell to the ground with a slap.

Everyone rushed up, but she didn't even pat the plaster, stood up, pulled Guo Tian and said, "Uncle! Yes!" Pointing at the pig while speaking!

Guo Tian couldn't laugh or cry: "That's a pig, not a horse! You can't ride it!"

She refused: "I want to ride!"

Guo Tian really knelt down, she insisted on riding a pig, so she had to get the poor pig out, put a rope on it, and drive her crazy.Little Xuanxuan rode a pig, walking up and down the yard majestically.Guo Tian pulled the pig's rope from behind, and Xiangxiang almost passed out!

Murong Li!You taught my daughter like this!
In Jinyang City, Murong Li's letter of divorce was sent directly to Zongzheng, and it was Sikong's order to report to King Yan, so King Yan knew.Then Pei Guogong's mansion exploded, and Xue Shaocheng entered the palace overnight, knelt in front of King Yan and died without getting up.

"The old minister has to be so insulted at such a young age, how can I let the old face of the old minister be put aside? Why don't you kowtow to death in front of His Majesty today, which is the last bit of loyalty for my great swallow!" Duke Pei wept uncontrollably.

King Yan was also upset, and ordered someone to pass on Murong Li.Not long after Murong Li entered the palace, Murong Bo also came over, and several people stared at each other in the imperial study.The King of Yan asked: "Son, why did you divorce your wife? This princess is the one you are marrying into the palace, so there must be a reason for divorce!"

Murong Li frowned—Is there a reason why I don't want him anymore?He said: "No descendants!"

Xue Shaocheng was furious: "Your Majesty must decide for the old minister. If you don't consummate the marriage with her, can she have a queen?"

Murong snorted sharply, King Yan only felt a headache.Murong Bo said: "Old Wu, how do you plan to arrange for the girl?"

Murong Li said: "As a righteous sister, I ask my father to bestow a title, and in the name of the princess, I will choose a husband and marry another."

Xue Shaocheng is still dissatisfied, how can a princess compare to a princess!That's a false name, not the slightest trick.If the concubine gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son. Murong Li's eldest son might inherit his prestige in the army in the future, and inherit the position of prince in the future, so he would be another big tree.Murong Bo said: "Pei Guogong."

Xue Shaocheng looked over, and Murong Bo said: "I heard that Duke Pei has a little granddaughter, she is over twelve years old, she is very good looking."

When Xue Shaocheng heard it, it was not bad.In the past, he didn't want his granddaughter to be Murong Bo's concubine because Murong Bo didn't have military power, so in terms of strength, he was nothing.But it is different now, now that Murong Bo is the crown prince, even his concubine will be the concubine of Yan Wang in the future.If one of the four concubines can be named, the Xue family will have something to rely on.If there is another prince...

Murong Li was glaring at him——Old dog, I have raised your daughter for three years, and you don't care about kindness, and you are still asking for money here!How dare you speak!Xue Shaocheng didn't dare to talk to him, knowing that he was being unreasonable, so he could only whisper to Murong Bo, and Murong Li turned and left.

Within two days, Zongzheng removed the in-law relationship between the Xue family and Prince Xun's residence.Xue Jinping was dismissed and returned to the Xue Mansion, and was named Princess Jingshu.From then on, one is separated from the other, and marriage is free.

When Murong Li returned to the palace, he saw Lan Zi was practicing sword moves with Murong Ke, when he saw Murong Li approaching, Murong Ke ran over with open arms, "Father Murong!"

Murong Li picked him up and held him in a circle: "If it grows longer, your Murong father won't be able to lift it up!"

Blue glaze said: "Did you divorce the girl from the Xue family?"

Murong Li said, "En."

Lanyou smiled: "You want to marry Xiangxiang?"

Murong Li said, "En."

Lanyou stepped forward, looked at him quietly, and said, "Brother Li, do you really like her?"

Murong Li didn't answer, but said: "Xiao Ke let him be recorded in my name. The imperial court has long wanted to win over the Duanmu family. This time Duanmu Zhengyang assassinated Ji Muze and made great achievements. It's nothing if I ask the child for a marquis award." You have some status in Duanmu's house."

Blue glaze said: "I didn't say I want to go back."

Murong Li said: "It's up to you." Just live there until you want to go back.

Two days later, the King of Yan issued an imperial decree, giving the Duanmu family the imperial plaque of the world's first sword, and conferring the titles of Xiaoyaohou on Murong Li's adopted son and Duanmu Zhengyang's son.Duanmu is going to the court to thank him, and he lives in the mansion of King Xun for a few days.Murong Li ignored them and only ordered Zhao Wu to keep Duanmu Zhengyang in prison, and not allow him to take Murong Ke away without Lan Yang's consent.Zhao Wu was so frightened that he was about to vomit gallbladder——people from the Duanmu family!Even if I want to stop the existence of the sword god in the legend, I can stop it...

In Lingzhi County, Xiangxiang was chasing after her daughter: "Xuanxuan, your clothes are dirty, you can't go out like this!" Little Xuanxuan was running like flying, giggling as she ran.Xiangxiang was so angry that she wanted to catch her and beat her up, but she couldn't bear it. After chasing her for half a street, she finally caught her and went home, only to see Guo Tian and Guo Chen's expressions were serious.Xiangxiang was startled, and asked, "Father, mother, what's the matter?"

Guo Tian pointed to the inside of the room, Xiangxiang looked around, and saw geese, deer, herbs, sheep, etc. tied with red silk in the room.She looked at her parents, and Guo Tian said: "Prince Xun's mansion asked the official media to send these things, saying that they are... that they want to marry you as... Princess Xun."

If Xiangxiang was hit hard, she was dumbfounded immediately, and Guo Tian and Guo Chen were also dumbfounded.However, the news spread throughout Lingzhi County like a bird with wings.Hearing that a princess has been born in Lingzhi County, the neighbors and folks are all excited!Guo Tian didn't even dare to go to the tofu shop, and his family looked sad at the famous post.

Xiangxiang was worried about something else—what about Xue Jinping?She hoped that Murong Li would come in person, but Murong Li did not come.

What was waiting for this day was a messenger.Xiangxiang was very surprised: "The prince didn't come?"

The messenger knocked to the ground: "Ma'am, the soldiers at Yuhouguan have changed their defenses, and the prince will go to preside over it, and he will return in about three months."

Xiangxiang let out a cry, not knowing why he came to report to himself suddenly, but heard the messenger say: "The prince ordered his subordinates to come and report to the madam."

Xiangxiang didn't know what Murong Li was up to, so she could only say, "I see."

The messenger just knelt down and did not leave.Xiangxiang asked, "Is there anything else?"

The messenger took out a quill from his pocket: "Madam, please write back a letter, so that I can explain to the prince."

Xiangxiang was puzzled: "But... But I don't have anything to write back."

The messenger slammed on the ground: "Ma'am, my lord said, if I don't get your reply, I will break the villain's legs!"

Xiangxiang: "..." She didn't know what happened to Murong Li, so she had to write to him, but there was really nothing to write.Just write that Xiaoxuanxuan is very naughty, so what about Jie'er, and wrote a hundred and ten characters.

The messenger didn't dare to answer, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Madam, please write more, the villain kowtowed to you!"Xiangxiang quickly ordered someone to help him up, racked his brains, and wrote about five hundred words.The messenger just received the letter paper and left with a thousand thanks.

Xiangxiang was puzzled, but a few days later, the messenger brought back another letter!
Xiangxiang spread out, and you can see dragons flying and phoenix dancing, masculine strokes, it is Murong Li's handwriting.It read eloquently on it - after a farewell, the two are hanging each other.Although it is March and April, who knows five or six years.The lyre is played inadvertently, the eight-line script cannot be passed on, the nine-linked ring is broken from it, and the ten-mile long pavilion is eager to see through...The parentheses after it, (in case my wife can’t understand, you can also copy and send the vernacular version, as follows) Since the last time we parted, you and I hanging heart.Although it is March and April...

Xiangxiang: "..."

The courier outside was still waiting, and seeing her look like a dog, he knelt down and said, "The villain will come tomorrow to get my wife's reply."

Xiangxiang was about to cry: "Do I have to write it?"

Seeing that she was easy to talk to, the messenger kowtowed and said, "No less than five hundred words, ten thousand, ten thousand, please leave it to Madam. The lives of the villain's family are entrusted to Madam."

Xiangxiang: "..."

Murong Li stayed at Yuhou Pass for three and a half months and delivered seven letters.It wasn't so frequent before, Xiangxiang really didn't know, he specially got a courier to come and go back and forth on time every half a month, without a day's delay.Guo Tian and Guo Chen looked very angry and funny, every time Guo Yang asked: "Where is the second sister?" The couple always suppressed a smile: "Doing homework..."

Xiangxiang hadn't read much at all, so it was enough to write a few words with the little ink in her stomach. He also asked for [-] words per letter, which made her scalp tingle when she saw the messenger.Afterwards, Murong Li didn't often copy love poems, he would write about love affairs at the border, and once drew a picture for her.However, in order not to leak the military information, there is no specific terrain on it, and even the mountains have been changed. It is just that the White Wolf River is frozen and the eagle flies high.

Xiangxiang has never seen such a frontier scenery in her life, but she has seen it for a long time.It is of course a lie to say that you don't yearn for it, but women who are born in such a world can't do it if they want to take a look.Like an eagle without wings, empty with ambition.Not without regret.

Three and a half months later, on March [-]th, Xiangxiang was worrying at home.The current Guo family can be said to be a smash hit, and everyone knows that a princess will be born here.And we all know that Prince Xun has a deep affection for the concubine, and the two correspondences every month are unshakable.On March [-]rd, the Lantern Night Market was held outside at Pingliuba.Almost all the girls from the entire county came, saying that they were a bit of a princess.Xiao Xuanxuan also sneaked out to play, and brought Xiangxiang a lotus lantern when she came back.

This afternoon, Xiangxiang anxiously waited for the messenger like waiting for another boot to hit the ground.However, the messenger didn't come, and Xiangxiang was a little suspicious, which was not like Murong Li's style.He is the kind of person who can make you eat potatoes for the rest of your life if you say potatoes are delicious.

I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day, before Xiangxiang got up, someone knocked on the door outside.Guo Chenshi came in and helped her dress her son first, and Xiangxiang dressed Xiao Xuanxuan herself.Xiao Xuanxuan needs to get dressed first, she can't stay still, she has to go out to play after getting dressed.In contrast, the younger brother is much quieter, usually not even crying.

Xiangxiang asked while getting dressed, "Mother, who is knocking on the door outside? It's early in the morning."

Guo Chen said: "The prince has sent a betrothal gift, you should hurry up and get dressed and go and have a look."

Xiangxiang opened her mouth, Guo Chenshi looked at her, and said softly: "Son, you have been in the palace these years, even if you are beautiful on the surface, you have suffered a lot of grievances in secret. Parents know that you are sensible. You are not allowed to enter the palace. Also entered, and now there are two children..."

"Mom, I know. I haven't been wronged in any way." Xiangxiang didn't let her continue, she put Xuanxuan down on the bed first, and asked the wet nurse to take her to wash her face.Dress yourself neatly and go outside.Lingzhi County is a small county, so the team hired by Murong Li seems really long enough.That box after box, like flowing water.

Guo Tian went out and talked to the matchmaker.This can be regarded as a serious three media and six certificates, and of course it is much more complicated than last time.Fortunately, these days, Guo Tian and Guo Chen are also trying their best to make dowry furniture for Xiangxiang. They have prepared it before, but Xiangxiang is a concubine, so there is no need for it.Can it be used this time? Those things are not worthy of the status of a princess. Of course, I have to use another one.These things really need to get busy, three and a half months is considered hasty.It's a good thing that Murong Li went to Yuhou Pass, if he didn't go, probably with his temperament, he would come to pick him up immediately.

The boxes were wrapped in red silk, and they were carried into Guo's house one by one.One was from the imperial court, which was the basic dowry gift for marrying a princess; the other was from Prince Xun's mansion, managed by Guan Jue, which meant icing on the cake, but this time it was a bit too much.

Xiangxiang opened the cage, and there were clothes tailored for her inside, one by one, all of which were princess clothes.Head jewelry is countless.Xiangxiang sighed, thinking about this person, she didn't know where she was now.

Murong Li immediately went back to Jinyang City to formally marry a concubine, which was an extremely complicated process, and it wasn't something he did when he went to Lingzhi County to bring her into the mansion.Although Murong Li is impatient with these trivial matters, since he promised to marry the Ming matchmaker, of course it is better to follow Lilai.

He reported the situation of Yuhouguan to Murong Bo, and the two of them made a plan for a young general, and discussed with Zhou Ye to exchange some new blood.Although Zhou Yi was on the wrong team before, he has a son who is always steadfast, and after the Hu people invaded, he protected King Yan, Murong Li and Concubine Shu to hide in Yuyang for the first time. This credit is not small.Therefore, he was still in front of his Taiwei and was not implicated.

There were lanterns and festoons in King Xun's mansion, but Murong Li didn't bother, and let Guan Jue do whatever he wanted.Duanmu Zhengyang was still in the mansion, Murong Li didn't want to get involved in his affairs with Lanya.Duanmu is not a person who likes to live in a guest house for a long time, and now he is like this... I guess he also wants to take the blue glaze mother and son away.

Blue glaze just didn't want her son to practice sword for nine hours every day, and then look for sword competitions all over the world.In her opinion, that is simply an idiot. It is enough for her husband to be an idiot, and her son must not be an idiot anymore.Duanmu Zhengyang thought that was the life of the Duanmu family, and he grew up like this since he was a child. How could he be an idiot?

Murong Li let them make trouble, he dug a jar of wine under the sycamore tree in Xijiange, it was plum wine, already very mellow.The brewers will be able to come back soon.The wind blows over the sycamore trees, and the spring is reported in every section, and the mellow wine enters the throat, which has a long and beautiful feeling.

The wine and dishes in the restaurant are new and new, strange and strange, but there is always a sense of home missing.

Murong Li didn't know when Duanmu Zhengyang took away the mother and son of Lanzi, he found a brocade box and a letter in Lanzi's Tingfeng Garden, which were written in Lanzi's handwriting.He slowly opened the brocade box, and there was only a pair of jade rings inside, which were the best Hetian jade, the jade was warm and delicate, pure and milky white.Murong Li opened the letter, Lan Yang was even more lazy, and only wrote a few lines - we're leaving, we won't drink your wedding wine anymore.

Murong Li folded the letter, remembering the promise he made to that woman 11 years ago - from now on, you will be my princess.Eleven years later, each of them brings their beloved, and their destiny is like a grass snake and a gray thread, stretching thousands of miles.Who knows what will happen next?
On March 22, the welcoming team went to Lingzhi County, blowing and blowing all the way to pick up Princess Xun on the bridal sedan chair.Lingzhi County still had a three-day feast, and Murong Li rode a big horse and wore a Xunwang python robe, walking at the front of the team, followed by not only Xiangxiang's dowry, but also two small carts, in which sat the little princess and the little prince.Other dowries are not worth his attention, but these two are priceless dowry, right?

There were constant congratulatory people around, and the team threw wedding candies and money along the way, with the sound of firecrackers and gongs clearing the way.Xiangxiang sat in the sedan chair in a phoenix crown and Xiapei. Every time the sedan chair moved, the tassels at the end of the hipa in front of her eyes swayed slightly.Splendid prosperity is like a dream.

Back in Jinyang City, there was still quite a lot of excitement in the palace.Xiangxiang was sent to the bridal chamber after worshiping heaven and earth, but she was still worried about the two children. Fortunately, the wet nurse Cui Shi was still there and could help take care of them.

Murong Li didn't drink much, why did I make it so complicated?For you?I can't wait for all the congratulators to go away.Everyone knew his temperament, so they didn't dare to pester him, so they put him in the bridal chamber early, and just drank their own.The prince took the lead and had fun with everyone.This wedding banquet can be described as extremely lively.

Murong Li entered the bridal chamber, and according to the ceremony, he took off the red hijab.On that day, Xiangxiang was wearing the dress of the princess, and the pearls on her hair set off her smooth face.Murong Li drank a cup of wine with her, but felt that he was already drunk before the wine entered his stomach.After all the bridesmaids retreated, Murong Li took off the tiara for her himself. The tiara was gorgeous and heavy, and his hands were even clumsier. Xiangxiang was pulled and hurt several times, and finally couldn't help it: "I will do it myself."

Take off the headgear, the whole person seems to be relaxed.Murong Li hugged her to the bed, and on the night of the bridal chamber, Xiangxiang could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Murong Li went crazy for most of the night, Xiangxiang was about to fall apart, he suddenly remembered something, took out a rectangular box from the cabinet, and handed it to Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang was puzzled, opened it, and saw two jade... Jade what?
She picked it up and took a look, the jade was definitely a good jade.Murong Li said: "That old man Lu Jingxi said that when a husband returns from afar, he will usually bring a gift to his wife. Jade from Yuhouguan is not bad. I personally picked the Kunlun jade, do you like it?"

Xiangxiang murmured: "I like... I like it..." It's just that the shape looks more and more embarrassing... She stroked and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, this... what is this?" ...how do you look at..."

Murong Li said: "Yushi, I'm not here all year round, if you can't help but think about me, you can use it." The two old guys said to send the most practical and curious things, they seemed considerate and pleasantly surprised.Is this practical?
Xiangxiang shook her hand, and the thing almost fell to the ground! ...Forget it, oh, forget it.

It's Xiangxiang's first time as a princess, and there are no elders in the house, so it can be said that she doesn't know anything about it. Murong Li doesn't care - I'm a woman who likes to be polite and doesn't, so what if she doesn't know anything?However, Xiang Xiang went to the Crown Prince's mansion shortly after her wedding to visit the Crown Princess Su Jing.Su Jing finds it very strange, the impression that this woman usually gives her is that she can't wait to dig a hole to bury herself, so that others will not notice her appearance.

But she doesn't actually have any ill feeling towards Xiangxiang, on the contrary, she quite likes it.At this time, she welcomed the person in, Xiangxiang blushed, and asked her about the etiquette that a princess should learn and what she should do on weekdays.Su Jing thought it was funny, but still taught her every little bit.She is smart and a quick learner.Su Jing is also idle and bored, although there are many concubines in the mansion, how can they talk properly?She often goes, and she also chats to relieve her loneliness.

Xiangxiang is really applying what she has learned. She didn't want to attract attention before because she was just a concubine.She doesn't need to be eye-catching, she just needs to give birth to children for her husband in an orderly manner.But now, I am a princess, even if there is a housekeeper, I don't need to be in charge of the house, I still have to look like a princess, right?
At the beginning of May, King Murongxuan of Yan abdicated on the grounds of old age and sickness, and passed it on to his eldest son, Murongbo.After Murong Bo came to the throne, the first thing he did was to make his fifth younger brother Murong Li the one-word side-by-side king.He also granted Guo Tian the Duke of Ling, bestowed a thousand hectares of fertile land, countless pieces of gold, silver and cloth, and rewarded Guo Chen's family as a first-rank wife.Lingzhi Guo's family is an extremely noble minister.

Murong Li didn't react to making himself the King of Side-by-Shoulders, but appreciated the subsequent rewards, and brought Xiangxiang into the palace to thank him.

Xiangxiang doesn't like staying in the palace very much, especially talking to Empress Dowager Shu, the Queen and others by herself, but she knows that things are not what they used to be.In the past, she was just a concubine, and she didn't need to deal with Wang Hao, Yan Wang, and others. Now that she is also a princess, these interactions are inevitable.

If you don't learn to communicate, I'm afraid you will make a joke.Therefore, she also worked hard to communicate with the princes and ladies around her, and sometimes participated in their flower fairs, poetry fairs and so on; sometimes she also held banquets in the palace to entertain them.

The wives and daughters of the noble family in Jinyang are all proud to participate in the private banquet of Princess Xun.Concubine Xun is not good at poetry or music, but she is good at cooking and humble.The reputation has been passed down for a long time, and it has become a good reputation.Xiangxiang has almost forgotten what kind of life she likes, but what kind of status a person is in depends on what kind of life he has to adapt to.It's... survival instinct.

Entering Empress Dowager Shu's palace at this time, she let go of Murong Li's hand, ready to face Empress Dowager Shu alone, but Murong Li didn't leave, he just sat down next to him and listened to the two women talking about their parents.

Empress Dowager Shu also found that this girl has become so graceful in the dress of a princess. Maybe this is not the life she wants, but there is no kind of life that will actively adapt to people's hearts. She can't escape this circle, so she actively integrates into it. .Empress Dowager Shu suddenly fell in love with her, the most resilient cattail, who always knows what is best for her.In this life of a person, sorrow is also a lifetime, and joy is also a lifetime.Decades are not long or short, but if you have to worry about everything going well, it can also make you tangled for a lifetime.

Empress Dowager Shu patted Xiangxiang's hand, took off the phoenix hairpin from her hair and gave it to her.Xiangxiang thanked her respectfully and docilely. Empress Dowager Shu smiled and inserted the phoenix hairpin between her cloudy black hair.

Murong Li sat with the two women until noon, Xiangxiang got up to say goodbye, and he left together. Empress Dowager Shu sent the two of them to the door. Seeing Murong Li holding Xiangxiang's hand, the two whispered something, Murong Li Weiwei stooped to listen.The woman who spent her whole life in the deep palace caressed her gray hair, her eyes suddenly blurred.
