Chapter 8(2/2)
Mu used the excuse of taking a concubine to stop the marriage and broke off a relationship with him.
This is certainly a reason, but I think it may not be the case.
Now I am far from being able to compare with three years ago. For him, the Changsha Kingdom is worth very little.
If everything else is removed, just for the most direct purpose of his proposal, he would not be unable to accept such a situation.
In the future, if Changsha state changes, he will do his best to help. This will not disappoint the purpose of the old Changsha king's agreement to marry his daughter to him and his grace to support him.
However, everyone knows his relationship with Changsha, including Empress Liu and the Liu family behind her. The struggle between the parties has become a balanced situation. He wanders around and is more likely to hide without making any progress in the critical period of planning and respond to changes in the same way.
If news of a marriage change is reported, it will undoubtedly trigger various speculations and doubts, and even break this balance.
This would be a big trouble for him.
So after thinking about it, he decided to maintain the in-laws, resolve the matter as soon as possible, and take the Mu girl back.
Xie Changgeng came to the door of the King's daughter of Changsha, whom he had never met since his newlyweds. He looked at the servant who was next to him who was named the guide but refused to make way out of here.
Mother Mu had already guessed the princess’ actions.
But she couldn't believe it. Just because the Xie family revealed the intention of taking a concubine, why did the princess be so decisive?
She was even more worried that the princess would hurt her.
If there is a need, even if she gives her life for the princess, she will not hesitate at all.
But from the morning when I left the Xie family, the princess seemed to no longer need her protection.
She even knew that she was unable to protect herself.
When Mu's mother met the man and looked at her, she felt sad and uneasy.
She calmed down and shouted loudly into the room, "Son-in-law has arrived", before taking a few steps back.
Xie Changgeng raised his hand, pushed open the door that was hidden in front of him, crossed the threshold, and walked in.
The room was warm, with lights on, there were a few incense on the corners of the outside, and a few incense on the left and a faint smoke on the left, and a jade bottle on the right, offering a branch of wintersweet.
The fragrance of incense and plum blossoms intertwined, refreshing and coming to your face.
Xie Changgeng stopped by the door and stood for a while without hearing the voices.
He raised his eyes, looked through the inner door in front of him that separated the inside and outside, and looked in.
There, a fragrant curtain half hanging, covering the inner room hazy.
There was still no one, only a candlelight swaying faintly through the curtain, as if guiding him into the inside.
Xie Changgeng took a step, walked to the curtain, reached out and lifted it away. He was about to go in, but his steps suddenly paused slightly and stopped again.
This is a women's boudoir with extremely exquisite furnishings.
In the direction of the bed, there is a beauty couch, a silver lamp beside the couch, and a snow-white felt on it.
A woman, with a jade face and a white wrist as white as frost, holding a roll in her hand, half leaning against a half-sitting, leaning on the beauty couch, wearing a silver lamp, leisurely flipping through the book in her hand.
She looked like a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was dressed as a little woman. She had a light cloak on her shoulders, a pomegranate skirt with her waist, and her long hair was tied into a lazy bun. The golden hair seemed to be too heavy and fell down with her head full of black hair, and she piled up on the side of her jade neck in a crow.
She seemed to have not noticed Xie Changgeng's arrival at all. Even when he lifted the curtain and stood beside the inner door, he did not react at all, even if he just raised his eyelids and looked at him.
She just turned over a page of the book in her hand. The two bracelets she wore on her jade wrist gently bumped according to her movements of flipping the book, making a slight and pleasant collision sound.
Xie Changgeng didn't expect that this would happen to greet him.
I didn't expect that the Mu girl would be in such a state.
His gaze, from her face, passed by her body and finally fell on her feet.
Under the pomegranate skirt, her feet were exposed.
She didn't wear socks, and a pair of small, snow-white barefoots, stepped on the felt without any cover, like a pair of young pigeons lying quietly in the snow. In addition, she naturally exudes a different, implicit meaning of being present and not being present for men.
Xie Changgeng's eyes were a little dark. He stared at her feet for a moment, and finally withdrew his gaze, walked over, raised his hand, pulled out the book in her hand, and put it aside.
"You are Mu?"
He looked down at the beauty on the couch and asked.
Mu Fulan was still leaning there, raised her eyelids, looked at him, but did not respond.
Her posture was extremely contemptuous.
It's exactly the same as her brother Wang.
After coming to Changsha, even though he was treated coldly and even scolded by Mu Xuanqing, he even spitted on his face. Xie Changgeng was not angry at all and was calm.
Only at this moment, when he saw this Mu girl facing him, he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart. Just like the unhappy he felt when he first returned home and learned that his newlywed wife had left without saying goodbye.
His expression seemed even more gentle.
He stared at the woman's beautiful eyes and slowly sat next to her.
"Mu, on the wedding night, I shouldn't have left you, but you also know that the emperor's orders are difficult, and I can't help it. Last month, I finally returned home, but you have already left..."
Xie Changgeng paused for a moment, and continued in the gentlest tone he could say, "I know my mother has made you angry. In fact, you don't have to worry about the matter of Qi Nu. If you don't want to, how could I go against your will and force someone to come? Besides, I didn't have this intention. You and my husband, you are dissatisfied. When I go home, what can I say to me?"
Mu Fulan smiled, but still didn't answer his words.
The room was silent for a moment.
Xie Changgeng stretched out his hand, and his palm, which was slightly calloused, pressed against a barefoot back that was stretched out from the bottom of the silk skirt.
He slowly tightened his palms, grabbed one of her snow-white feet, and gently pinched them.
"Lan'er..."
He called her nickname quietly.
Mu Fulan bent her knees and barefoot was like a slippery fish, which suddenly pulled out of his palm.
She pulled down her lace skirt, and her feet were covered with a tight cover by the skirt, and no more revealing.
Xie Changgeng looked at her movements and his eyes became deeper and deeper. His Adam's apple moved slightly, withdrew his hand, and slowly pulled out a golden hairpin inserted into her bun.
Long hair is scattered like a waterfall.
He took the opportunity to hold her cold black hair, put half of her soft body into his arms, leaned over her handsome face, and attached her lips to her ears, and said softly: "Lan'er, don't be angry, I'm really sorry for you this time. I came here immediately as soon as I got home, just to pick you up. Let's go back tomorrow. Everything will be easy to discuss in the future."
Mu Fulan suddenly exerted force, pushed him away, sneered, and spoke the first sentence of tonight.
"Xie Changgeng, you don't look in the mirror? What kind of good thing do you think you are? I just want to be a couple with you?"
Xie Changgeng was just sitting next to the couch. He was not careful for a moment, but was pushed off the beauty couch by her palms, looking embarrassed.
He slowly raised his head and saw her turn, looking at him with his eyes.
A jade face can make people upside down and make them lose their money.
