Chapter 114 What do you think

"On this matter, I don't know how many words you thanked me! Sit down!" Yuwen Yuanmo pouted at the chair opposite to him.

Pei Minglan had no choice but to sit down honestly.

There was no servant to serve in the box, so Pei Minglan had no choice but to pick up the teapot, refill Yuwen Yuanmo's tea, and pour herself a cup by the way.

"The lord is here - are you waiting for someone?" Holding the tea cup in her hand, Pei Minglan asked with a smile.

"No!" Yuwen Yuanmo shook his head, glanced at her, and said, "Just like you, just wander around when you have nothing to do."

Pei Minglan choked immediately, and couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that you, my lord, also had such narrow moments, it seems that I didn't know much about you in my two lifetimes!

Pei Minglan let out an indifferent "Oh" and said nothing more. She drank her tea calmly, staring at the teacup in her hand, as if she wanted to see a flower in the tea.

Yuwen Yuanmo felt like punching cotton, and couldn't help laughing to himself.Suddenly said: "You must have heard about the visit of the great prince and princess to Beijing, right?"

Pei Minglan raised her head from carefully observing the tea, nodded and said, "The whole capital is discussing this matter, of course I know it too! After all, the presence of a group of foreigners with very different looks can arouse everyone's fresh curiosity!"

Yuwen Yuanmo couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to say that, but it's true!"

Pei Minglan smiled disapprovingly.Bei Zhai's poor and bitterly cold place, a small foreign country, is also worthy of being on an equal footing with Daliang?When they came to the capital, they were nothing more than a group of jumping clowns who let the people of the capital point and watch. What kind of messengers, what kind of distinguished guests, are they worthy!

Only Yuwen Yuanzhen, that useless man, would regard the arrival of his old enemy as a good thing to be complacent about!

"What do you think about this?" A deep voice sounded, Pei Minglan paused, and then realized that he was talking to himself, and looked up at him in bewilderment.

this matter?

Yuwen Yuanmo said lightly: "Tuoba Hongxi asked to marry the princess."

Pei Minglan blinked, tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "His heart is not sincere."

Yuwen Yuanmo's eyes flashed, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? How should I say it?"

Pei Minglan's words were already in her heart, she had to pretend to be in front of her parents, but she really didn't need to pretend in front of Yuwen Yuanmo—to be exact, there was nothing to pretend!

"It is not an exaggeration to say that Bei Zhai and Daliang are feuds. Although the relationship between the two sides has eased in the past two years, it has not yet reached the point where Qin and Jin can be married! Showing favor is showing weakness. How can they endure Beidi’s poverty and hardship? If Tuoba Hongxi sincerely showed his favor, he would not overreach himself and make such an unreasonable request! Marry a princess? Hmph, can they afford Beidi? This is not a show of favor, it is intentional to bring people back to torture! Not to mention the princess, it is the family of the rich and powerful in Beijing, who would be willing to marry their daughter to such a bitter cold place!"

"Besides, the people of Beidi are all white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it. The current national strength is weak and we have to stop the war, but as long as they don't die, their wolf ambitions will not be eliminated. Maybe they will fight one day! Which princess married? If it passes, it can be regarded as a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes!"

Of course, if the one who married was Princess Wanchun, Pei Minglan thought it would be pretty good.

There's no way, she just holds grudges.Princess Wanchun's account, she will settle with her sooner or later!
"You're right! After all, she is the daughter of Mr. Pei Ge, and she has a lot of knowledge!" Yuwen Yuanmo sighed softly, and said with a sneer: "Only those literati and Confucian scholars who have never seen the brutal side of Beidi people will tell this The pride and pride of being a foreigner's vassal! They don't even know that Beidi people are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! I don't know how many good men in my Daliang died under the butcher knives and iron cavalry of Beidi people! They even want to kill my noble princess from Daliang Sending it to Bei Zhai for humiliation is really abhorrent!"

Pei Minglan sneered, and said lightly: "Anyway, it's not their daughter who married, so why do they object? The relationship between Qin and Jin between the two countries is a good story, and I don't know how many good articles they can write to show their talents!"

Yuwen Yuanmo couldn't help laughing, and took a deep look at Pei Minglan.

Pei Minglan felt a little nervous when he looked at her, and said with a smile: "I just said it casually, if I make a mistake, please don't take offense, my lord!"

"No," Yuwen Yuanmo said with a smile: "This king is just a little strange, even Mr. Pei Ge, this king has never seen him speak so sharply, but the second lady is straightforward!"

Pei Minglan's heart shuddered, and she was secretly annoyed that she shouldn't be so quick to talk.For some reason, she seemed to let her guard down easily in front of him.Subconsciously, she seemed to think that he would not blame her.He wouldn't blame her no matter what she said.

Pei Minglan didn't think deeply about what this meant, she only knew it was dangerous.Even though she let him see his distress over and over again, even though they were already familiar with each other, it didn't mean that he knew something.

"Father is an official in the court. Naturally, he needs to take care of many things when he speaks. If someone catches a mistake in a sentence, the censor must intervene! In private, I will answer whatever the prince asks. It's just a quick tongue. The prince doesn't have to." really!"

Yuwen Yuanmo smiled, did not refute or agree with her words, changed the subject indifferently and said: "Miss Er, have you ever learned the tea ceremony? Can you make tea?"

Pei Minglan nodded and smiled, "I have learned a little bit, but I'm not good at it."

Which of the noble girls in the capital has never learned this, and Pei Minglan practiced it even harder in her previous life, because both the empress dowager and the empress dowager like tea ceremony.Her unique skill of making tea with one hand not only makes the tea taste more mellow and the color is more pure and clear, but also the whole set of tea making movements is as elegant and beautiful as flowing clouds and flowing water, with a distinguished posture. .

But who knows, how many times she has practiced in order to perfect every movement, and how many injuries to her hands.

Of course Pei Minglan is not as proficient in this way as she is, but she has learned it.Yuwen Yuanmo saved her many times, Pei Minglan was also happy to make a cup of tea to express her gratitude, so she nodded happily, and offered to make a cup of tea for him with a smile.

Yuwen Yuanmo originally had this intention, so he naturally smiled.

Although she only showed three or four parts of the tea ceremony mastered in her previous life, her movements are still skillful and light, which is pleasing to the eye.As she finished her movements one by one, a faint tea fragrance rose from the curling heat. In the diffusion room, Yuwen Yuanmo's mood could not help but also eased, and the lingering depression in his heart also eased a lot.

Although he didn't invite anyone here today, he was not in a good mood.

The ministers of civil and military quarreled over the matter of Tuoba Hongxi's proposal to marry the princess, and the emperor's brother didn't know what to think, but was moved by those civil servants, and he also wanted to marry.
