Chapter 171 You are not good at lying
The group came to the front hall and sat down. Murong Yuan said in a deep voice, "The Concubine Dowager and the Prince should stay in the mansion first. As for Yumen Pass, no action will be taken until the 200,000 reinforcements from Western Vietnam arrive."
Chu Tianze looked at Lady Jing. It was fine for him. It didn't matter where he lived during a war. He had always lived in the main camp before. Besides, he might not be able to stay in the northwest for long. But his mother might not be used to it...
Madam Murong smiled and said, "Princess, please stay in the mansion. I have already tidied up the yard. Dingzhou is not as prosperous and lively as the capital. If you stay in the mansion, we can also chat with you."
Lady Jing smiled and said, "I am sorry to bother you all."
Bai Chuxiao, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile, "Mother, can you live with me in the Qingya Courtyard?"
Lady Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoxiao."
Madam Murong asked hurriedly, "How can this be done?"
Bai Chuxiao said coquettishly, "Grandma..."
Madam Murong could only smile and said, "It's up to the Concubine Dowager to decide."
The Murong family is small, and they only have one daughter, so the courtyard they live in is naturally spacious and unique. It is not unfair to clean up a room for Concubine Jing to live in...
After dinner, Chu Tianze helped Concubine Jing back to Qingya Courtyard to rest, and then was called away by Murong Yuan.
Bai Chuxiao came to the front yard and looked at Murong Xuan who was standing with his hands behind his back and said, "Second brother, are you thinking about Sister Xihan?"
Murong Xuan turned around, looked him up and down, frowned, and asked, "Are all the injuries healed?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "It's okay, they are just minor injuries."
Murong Xuan shook his head, "You scared us a lot."
If Chu Tianze hadn't gone back personally, how could they have stayed still...
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Isn't this all right?"
Murong Xuan looked up at the vast sky, and Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "Second brother, are you thinking about the New Year's Eve?"
Murong Xuan sighed slightly, "Yes, but I don't know how long we can stay in the northwest..."
Bai Chuxiao's eyes flashed with sadness, and she said lightly, "It will be fine..."
"What are you talking about?" Murong Yuan's voice came from behind
Bai Chuxiao came to Chu Tianze and asked with a smile, "Has Grandfather finished talking to the prince?"
Chu Tianze held her somewhat cold little hand and said calmly, "It's a small matter. Let's discuss the deployment again."
Murong Yuan looked at the pair and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, Princess, please go to bed early."
Chu Tianze nodded slightly. Bai Chuxiao wanted to talk to her grandfather alone, but she had to put it aside...
After the two returned to Qingya Courtyard, Chu Tianze stopped and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, are you hiding something from me?"
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "How could it be?"
Chu Tianze chuckled, "Do you know that you are not good at lying?"
Bai Chuxiao buried her head in his arms with a guilty conscience, "Really not."
Chu Tianze said slowly, "Imperial Palace, how did my father die..."
Bai Chuxiao whispered, "I'm so angry."
Chu Tianze held up her little face, stared at her closely, and said calmly, "Tell me, how could an emperor be so easily angered to death?"
Bai Chuxiao murmured, "Maybe he did something wrong..."
Chu Tianze suddenly hugged her tightly, and Bai Chuxiao said softly, "Tianze, I'm tired, let's take a rest, okay?"
Chu Tianze remained silent for a long time before answering, "Okay"
In the room, the two of them lay opposite each other. Bai Chuxiao looked at Chu Tianze, whose expression was no different from usual, and was somewhat hesitant.
Chu Tianze looked at her bright eyes and said calmly, "Aren't you tired?"
Bai Chuxiao's small hand touched his black eyelashes and suddenly said, "A world different from reality often appears in my dreams. Do you want to hear it?"
For some reason, tonight she wanted to share her deepest secrets with him...
Chu Tianze let her hands scratch his face and whispered, "I want to..."
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "I have had this dream for more than ten years, it's a bit long."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "Then tell me slowly."
Bai Chuxiao sorted out her thoughts and slowly told the story of her past life...
After talking for a while, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chu Tianze, who was listening intently, looked at the woman breathing steadily in his arms, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He actually coaxed her to sleep while telling the story...
After pulling the quilt over and covering the little person tightly, Chu Tianze murmured, "Is that another you, or is that you... No matter what, you are my Xiaoxiao..." After being lost in thought for a while, he fell into a deep sleep...
Chu Tianze and Murong Yuan stayed in the mansion for the past two days and did not return to the camp. The Murong family had few children and no family disputes. Concubine Jing lived a comfortable life and quickly became familiar with Old Lady Murong and the First Lady.
Seeing this, Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao were relieved. In the flower hall, the old lady, the eldest lady, and Lady Jing Bai Chuxiao were sitting together chatting.
After a few days of getting along, Madam Murong no longer tried to save face, and said to Bai Chuxiao, "Alas, your eldest brother and third brother really make me worry a lot."
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Aunt, are you worried about their marriage?"
The eldest lady frowned and said, "Isn't it? I have talked to many girls before, but they refused to marry. Now Xuan'er is married, how can I not be anxious as his aunt?"
The old lady also frowned and said, "I heard that Xuan'er's marriage was arranged by Xiaoxiao..."
Bai Chuxiao said quickly, "Grandma, aunt, don't count on me for the affairs of my eldest and third brothers. My second brother and second sister-in-law are interested..." She was not interested in matchmaking...
Noble Lady Jing smiled and said, "Old Madam and First Madam, why worry? Who knows when the two young masters will meet their ideal partners."
Nowadays, most men in this world have three wives and four concubines, but the Murong family does not take concubines. The attitudes of the several young masters of the Murong family are also very serious. She thinks they are all good...
The eldest lady sighed, "They are not young anymore. If they wait any longer, I am afraid that few girls will be interested in them."
The old lady also said helplessly, "Forget it, now is not a good time to get married... Let's talk about the marriage later."
Although she was not as skilled as the late queen when she was young, she was also able to draw a bow and shoot an arrow. She was naturally aware of the crisis that the northwest was about to face. At this moment, if she took a wrong step, her life would be in danger...
Bai Chuxiao held her hand and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry too much. The affairs of the eldest and third brothers will be resolved."
The old lady said in a deep voice, "Your second uncle and his family are far away in Jiangnan, and I don't know whether they are good or bad."
Bai Chuxiao said softly, "Grandma, don't worry, there are people protecting my second uncle."
Jiangnan is not so controllable. Chu Tianling can't do anything to his second uncle and his men for a while. Besides, he has no reason to do so...
