The eight-year-old Murong Chong, the king of Zhongshan in the Yan Kingdom, wore a golden crown with hair tied on his head and a crimson robe and mysterious armor. He sat upright on a snow-white jade horse with the bridle on his bridle. His snow-white little face was sullen, and his blue eyes were staring at Chen.
Cao Zhi showed no kindness toward Chen Cao Zhi in the past, and looked like he hated Chen Cao Zhi deeply.
Huangfu really didn't know why Murong Chong blocked the road, so he urged his horse forward, held the reins and raised his hands, saying, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan hunting here?"
Huangfu Zhenguan lived among the servants, Dr. Guanglu, who was an important minister of the Yan Dynasty. The Grand Prime Minister Murong Ke respected him very much, but Murong Chong did not even look at him. He just stared at Chen Caozhi and said coldly: "
Chen Caozhi, you just left like this!"
Chen Caozhi urged his horse to take a few steps forward and saluted: "I wanted to say goodbye to His Highness the day before yesterday. Your Highness refused to see you, so I had to submit a letter to Your Highness——"
"You're going too far!" Murong Chong shouted sharply before Chen Caozhi could finish his words: "You said you wanted to marry my sister, and everyone in Yecheng knew about it, but now you just walked away.
Where can I put my sister?"
Murong Chong's face turned red, and he was obviously very angry. He originally thought that Chen Caozhi was a good person, talented and good-looking, and gave him a horse that belonged to him, so he kindly wanted to facilitate the marriage between Chen Caozhi and his sister.
Murong Qinchen's marriage, for this reason, Murong Chong can be said to have been very deliberate. He felt that it was too difficult for him, and he seemed to be very resourceful. When he learned that his mother and uncle Ke Zuhunyi intended to marry his sister to Chen Caozhi, Murong Chong
He was so happy that he felt like he was done. He rushed to tell his sister Murong Qinchen. Murong Qinchen scolded him for talking nonsense, but his face turned red all of a sudden. His light blue eyes were shining brightly, as if the joy from the bottom of his heart was coming out. Murong Chong knew it.
The elder sister was very willing, so she smiled and asked for credit and reward. The elder sister pretended to hit him, but she just pinched his face——
Facing Phoenix's son Murong Chong's questioning, Chen Caozhi was helpless. He had never promised to marry Princess Qinghe Murong Qinchen. That night at Shangyong Palace, Murong Ping mentioned Princess Qinghe's marriage to him. At that time, he wanted to escape.
The big plan was not rejected outright, but there was no promise. Perhaps in the eyes of Murong Chong and even the Xianbei royal family, only a crazy person would refuse the marriage of Princess Qinghe!
Huangfu Zhen shook his head, His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan was too ridiculous. Princess Qinghe's betrothal to Chen Caozhi was just a private intention, without any formal etiquette. Now that Chen Caozhi has embarked on his return journey, the King of Zhongshan stopped him here.
Apart from bringing shame to the Yan royal family, what good would it do to make such a fuss?
Huangfu Zhen advised: "Your Highness, this matter is decided by the Emperor and Dazai. Your Highness is young——"
Murong Chong was so angry that he pointed the riding whip at Huangfuzhen, not sparing Huangfuzhen any face, and said angrily: "Huangfuzhen, if I ask Chen Caozhi, you don't have to make any noise or step aside!"
Huangfu Zhen was humiliated by his own people before he even left Ye. He suddenly felt that his trip to Jiangdong was unlucky, and he said angrily: "Dazai, the minister is not far from the other side of the river. Do you allow you to do whatever you want?"
Murong Chong ignored Huangfu Zhen and said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Caozhi, why are you so heartless? What do you have to say?"
What could Chen Caozhi say because he had become a betrayer for no apparent reason? Chen Caozhi said: "I am ashamed of His Highness's kindness. I have nothing to say."
Seeing Chen Caozhi's unrepentant attitude, Murong Chong became even more furious. He suddenly jumped off his horse, whipped the jade horse wildly with his whip, and said loudly: "Chen Caozhi, I'll give this horse back to you, I don't want it."
Your stinky horse!" This horse was given to him by Chen Caozhi, and now he returned it to Chen Caozhi as a sign of gratitude.
The jade horse was whipped several times and couldn't bear the pain, so it ran away westwards. A mulberry bow and several feather arrows tied behind the saddle fell to the ground.
Seeing the horse running away, Murong Chong became even more furious. He picked up his mulberry bow and shouted: "Look where you are going!" He bent the bow and set an arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, an arrow hit the jade horse's butt, causing the horse to be shocked and in pain.
, accelerated instantly and ran far away. Murong Chong was still yelling for his rouge squad to catch up and shoot the horse——
Suddenly I heard a clear female voice from the Liulin side shouting: "Fenghuang, don't be ridiculous!"
Murong Chong then shouted: "Sister, come here, come and ask Chen Caozhi in person why he is so heartless!"
Ah, Princess Qinghe is here too!
Everyone turned around and saw a big maroon horse under the willow forest with green leaves and yellow leaves. The passenger on the horse was wearing a white curtain hat, covered with snow-white gauze, wearing a white robe with left lapels and a tight waist. He was tall and tall, holding the reins.
The hand is carved from white jade, standing motionless under the forest of horses, just like a quiet and beautiful sculpture. When Murong Chong's cry was heard, the quiet and beautiful sculpture instantly moved, as if blown by the autumn wind, the curtains fluttered, and the red horse relaxed under its crotch.
Four hooves, slowly approaching the crowd, like a white lotus driving a red cloud, slowly approaching——
When Murong Chong fired wildly at the horse, Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian stepped forward together and pressed their hands on the handle of the sword to prevent Chen Caozhi from being hurt.
Huangfu really saw that Chen Caozhi was in a lot of trouble and said in a low voice: "Chen Xima, I will order someone to report to the King of Taiyuan as soon as possible. How about it?"
Chen Cao said: "No need, I can solve this problem." He saluted Princess Qinghe, who was wearing a curtain hat and veil covering her face, and said: "Your Highness, Chen Cao is polite."
Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe reined in her horse in front of her younger brother Murong, reached out and took off her curtain hat, revealing a beautiful face, with two willow eyebrows gleaming green, eyes like water, and a cold expression. Princess Xianbei said: "
Chen Caozhi, how can I not be worthy of you? Tell me!"
Although the Murong clan of Xianbei has been Chineseized for hundreds of years, they are still Hu people after all. How could a Han woman ask such a question? Chen Caozhi did not expect to encounter such a test. This seemed to be worse than convincing Murong Ke with rhetoric the day before yesterday.
It's a bit more difficult. Neither eight-year-old Murong Chong nor twelve-year-old Murong Qinchen are reasonable people.
Since Princess Qinghe said it so straightforwardly, Chen Caozhi was not polite and said: "I can't stay in the Yan Kingdom. There is a woman waiting for me to marry in Jiangdong."
Qinghe Princess Murong Qinchen stared at Chen Caozhi with her light blue eyes. After a long while, she suddenly said: "You can't leave the Yan Kingdom. You have violated your oath."
Chen Caozhi was shocked. That day at Jinfengtai, he saw the Empress Dowager Yan having a private meeting with Taifu Murong Ping. Princess Qinghe asked him to swear an oath not to tell what happened that day. He swore that if he broke the oath, he would never return to Jiangdong. Now
Princess Qinghe mentioned the events of that day again because Chen Caozhi had left Yedu and the oath was no longer binding. Chen Caozhi could fully publicize the secret of the Empress Dowager Yan being able to satisfy the Hun family when he returned to Jiangdong——
Chen Cao's eyebrows furrowed. This Xianbei princess is so difficult to deal with, almost crazy. Is this how a barbarian woman dares to love and hate?
Chen Cao said: "Your Highness, can you please take a step to talk?" After saying that, he urged the horse to trot to the willow forest beside the road. Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe followed without hesitation, and turned back to stop Murong Chong from following.
When Huangfu Zhen, Yuan Hong and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Chen Caozhi and Princess Qinghe had already had an intimate affair? Otherwise, why would they have made an oath and talked privately without letting others hear?
Beside the willow forest, Chen Caozhi looked at the beautiful and young Princess Qinghe and said, "Your Highness, are you going to force me to make another oath?"
Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe sneered: "What's the use of swearing!"
Chen Caozhi asked: "Then what do you want your Highness to do?"
Murong Qinchen said: "Stay in Yedu. Only if you stay in Yedu will you not leak the secret."
It is true that Xiao He succeeds and fails. Chen Caozhi knew that he was able to leave Ye smoothly because of the power of Princess Qinghe. Unexpectedly, it became the biggest obstacle for him to leave now. He said categorically: "It is absolutely impossible to stay.
of!"
Murong Qinchen gritted his teeth and said, "You can't leave. I immediately went to tell Huangfu that you were hiding the top secrets of my Dayan and wanted to stay pending trial. Then I told my mother directly about the incident at Jinfengtai that day——"
Chen Caozhi was horrified. Is this a twelve-year-old girl? She is a crazy and desperate woman. It is recorded in the history books that when Fu Jian took her and her brother Murong Chong into custody, she did not fight to the death.
Why are you so powerful now?
Chen Caozhi warned himself to be calm, especially in front of a 12-year-old girl who had lost her mind. It would be bad to provoke her with words at this time. He said softly: "Princess, is this difficult for me because I didn't agree to marry you?"
?”
Although Murong Qinchen was furious and couldn't help but blush when he heard this, he did not hide it and said bluntly: "Yes, I am really angry!"
Chen Caozhi whispered softly: "Your Highness must have heard that I have a beloved woman in Jiangdong, and I vow to grow old with her. How can I marry Your Highness? Your Highness has a noble status and rare beauty in the world. Why worry about not having a good son-in-law?"
Why bother with this? If the matter escalates, it will not only be detrimental to His Highness, but also very detrimental to the Queen Mother of your country. Is Your Highness willing to see such an unbearable situation?"
Murong Qinchen shed tears, and his voice was whimpering: "I just don't want to give in! I just can't get angry!" Although he was still unreasonable, his tone was not as restless as before.
Chen Caozhi looked at the Xianbei princess quietly and let her cry, which could calm down the resentment in his heart.
After a while, Murong Qinchen raised his eyes. His eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying, but they were extraordinarily full and charming. The tiny teardrops on his eyelashes reminded Chen Caozhi of the lotus pond after the rain, and the lotus leaves on the
The wandering crystal water drop——
Murong Qinchen suddenly burst into laughter, and laughed softly, making people's hearts beat. He was like the goddess Mulan suddenly blooming, exhaling fragrant breath, and asked: "The beloved woman you are talking about is the Lu girl, right? She has
How beautiful it is that you are so reluctant to part with it?"
Chen Caozhi thought for a while and replied: "It's very beautiful. The kind of beauty that will not fade even when your hair turns gray."
Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and looked down at the grass beside the horse's hooves. She couldn't imagine how beautiful the Lu girl was. She shook her head and said, "I'll let you go. I'm dignified."
Princess Yan is not a stubborn person, I am waiting for you, waiting for my Yan army cavalry to sweep Jiangdong, then I will kidnap you and the Lu family girl together." After that, he urged his horse to gallop away from Chen Caozhi.
After passing by, he called out: "Phoenix, let's go." Huoyun Bailian went far away.
