Across thousands of years I love you 26

  Remember in one second

  "Spring Willow, you go out first, I want to have a few words with the Crown Princess. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in." Sima Rui's smile faded away, speaking sternly.

  Chun Liu hesitated for a moment, looked at Murong Feng, and after Murong Feng nodded, she quietly walked out of the room.

  "Do you know why Sima Zhe called me over to do something?" Sima Rui really picked up his teacup and took a sip, he was indeed a bit thirsty. "Your beautiful little sister is truly charming. It turns out that not only I have my eyes on her, but also besides the Emperor, there's also my hot-tempered second brother. Sima Qiang went to the Murong Royal Residence this morning and formally proposed to your father, Murong Qingliang, saying he wants to take Murong Xue away to the border to bear him children! Haha, do you know what your parents' expressions were like? Big Brother said they looked as if they had been possessed by evil spirits, for a long time they didn't say a word, just staring blankly, and even when Sima Qiang left, they still didn't know. Your mother of course came to find her eldest daughter to discuss countermeasures, interesting, if it weren't for you being here, I really would have liked to join in on the fun regarding Murong Xue's matter."

  Murong Feng raised an eyebrow, and Sima Qiang proposed to his parents to marry him off to Murong Xue. Wasn't he the tall, dark-skinned man they met in the Shangfu Palace this morning?! Would he like Murong Xue? It seemed a bit unlikely, he probably hadn't even seen Murong Xue before. Judging from his demeanor, he should be a mature man with his own ideas and plans, so how could he possibly be foolish enough to propose to Murong Xue without having met her?!

  "You don't believe me?" Sima Rui asked with a smile, seeing that Murong Feng had no reaction for half a day.

  "It's not that I don't believe it, but it's just strange." Murong Feng furrowed his brow. "Looking at the Second Prince's words and actions, he should be a mature man, so why would he do something so strange? If he had been stationed on the border all along, dealing with battles every day, he should be very calm, even ruthless. How could it be... Even if it was love at first sight, it should have been like you, at least having met Murong Xue in the Murong Royal Palace to fall in love? Now that Murong Xue lives in the Warm Jade Pavilion, aside from the Emperor, no man can enter. It's impossible for him to have seen her. So why would he want to marry Murong Xue?" He glanced at Sima Rui and said with a bad tone, "If this happened to you, there would be some credibility, but if it were Sima Qiang, the credibility wouldn't be that high."

  。”

  "Hey, girl, do you know how to bully people?" Sima Rui said displeased. "You also saw Sima Qiang for the first time this morning, why are you so sure that he didn't decide to marry Murong Xue because of her beauty, but instead think there's another reason behind it? It seems like you understand him very well."

  Murong Feng glared at Sima Rui and thought: Talking to you is like playing the zither to a cow!

  "Murong Feng, where am I sleeping tonight?" Sima Rui asked with a mischievous grin.

  Murong Feng looked at Sima Rui with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression: "Apart from this room, everything else is up to you."

  Simarui sighed and said reluctantly: "If I don't sleep, can I stay in this room?"

  Murong Feng shook his head without hesitation and replied expressionlessly: "You stay here, I'll definitely have a nightmare, no room for discussion."

  Zheng Shuo arrived, and Chun Liu walked in from outside, lowering her head and speaking softly: "Miss, the Crown Princess has just sent someone over to invite you to go see her. She wants to discuss something with you."

  Murong Feng was taken aback for a moment and thought that things must be related to Murong Xue.

  The Grand Prince's mansion, only Murong Xuan and Murong Yu were sitting there. Sima Zhe was accompanying the Emperor to handle government affairs. It is said that a big incident occurred in the capital, involving many officials, so they were not present in the mansion. At the same time as Murong Feng entered, Murong Xue also walked in with Rui Xi accompanying her.

  Murong Xue wore a pale yellow skirt, paired with the golden hairpin on her head, as lovely as the peach blossoms that had just bloomed.

  Murong Feng gazed at her, suddenly feeling a bit uninteresting. In fact, for women living in this era, being favored by the emperor was almost a dream and an honor. Why bother to scrutinize it with a judgmental eye? Murong Xue simply liked a man thirty-five years older than her, but this man indeed had his outstanding qualities, being the monarch of the Great Prosperity Dynasty, having power and influence, and being sentimental and gentle. Her liking him seemed like a very normal thing.

  Murong Xuan's face was filled with worry as she looked at her younger sister. Suppressing her anger, she said: "Xiao Xue, Mother is ill, shouldn't you ask the Emperor for leave to return home and visit her? You also know that you're not really sick. Although something happened a few days ago, you've already recovered, and besides, Sima Rui didn't do anything to you. What reason do you have for wanting to stay in the palace?"

  "Elder sister," Murong Xue looked somewhat afraid, unsure of how to explain, and could only mutter, "I... I think Mother's illness shouldn't be too serious."

  Moreover, His Majesty has also taken good care of Xue Er, how can she bring herself to resign?

  "You! ——" Murong Xuan almost fainted. In just one short day, the rumors had already spread throughout the palace, saying that Murong Xue had seduced the Emperor. She had thought it was just a rumor, but she didn't expect her own little sister to actually do such a thing. "Little Snow, you're going to kill me! The Warm Jade Pavilion is not a place for an unmarried girl like you to live in! Are you really going to serve the Emperor?"

  Murong Xue lowered her head and didn't dare make a sound.

  Murong Yu hastily mediated, saying: "Xiaoxue, you really don't understand things more and more as you grow up. Don't you know the emperor's purpose in keeping you at Wenyu Pavilion? Today, the second prince personally went to Murong Wangfu to propose marriage to your parents and wants to take you to Bianjiang. Father naturally doesn't want you to go, but he also can't agree to you marrying the emperor. You mustn't be confused!"

  "I think the two sisters must have misunderstood." Murong Xue was not too afraid of her second sister, Murong Yu was the most gentle one among the four Murong sisters, and she had never said a few harsh words. "The emperor only regards Snow as his granddaughter, and today when the second prince proposed to the emperor to take Snow away, the emperor also promised that Snow would not agree to let the second prince take her to the border. The emperor is really good to Snow, and he even rushed to the Warm Jade Pavilion to visit Snow after the early court session. Elder sister, you have seen it too. The chrysanthemums in the Cuizhu Garden are truly beautiful, and the emperor even accompanied Snow to admire the flowers."

  "Slap!" - A crisp sound, Mu Rong Xue was slapped in the face by Mu Rong Yan, who was furious and scolded, "Xiao Xue, you're really shameless! You've disgraced the Mu Rong family!"

  "Sister." Murong Xue was stunned, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Murong Juan, unable to understand why her older sister would hit her. From young to old, no one in the family had ever dared to lay a finger on her, and now her sister was hitting her. "Sister, how did Xue lose face for the Murong family?! Xue only stayed in the Warm Jade Pavilion because the Emperor liked Xue, and Xue said that the Emperor treated Xue like his own granddaughter, without any impropriety. Why must you be angry, sister?"

  "Is there nothing out of the ordinary?! Mu Rong Xuan hummed softly, saying disdainfully, "You've only been in the palace for a few days, how do you know what's right and wrong here? Under the bright sun, an unmarried young girl is actually leaning on the emperor's lap, is this treating you like a close granddaughter? The emperor has countless matters to attend to every day, yet he finishes his morning court session just to see you, ignoring all other concubines, is this also treating you like a close granddaughter?! You, come and explain it to me!"

  Murong Xue was stunned on the spot, "Big sister, you actually followed the Emperor and me!"
