Chapter 1080 [Ancient Juechen 21]
Imperial Palace
Murong Sangsang stood quietly on the star-gazing platform, looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky. Her figure seemed a little lonely under the cold moonlight.
Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. Murong Xueying walked over lightly, holding a cloak in her hand.
"Sister, why don't you wear more clothes? Look at yourself, wearing such thin clothes and running out. This is the coldest place." Murong Xueying said with concern, a hint of worry in her voice.
Murong Sangsang turned around and looked at her sister with a smile, "Yingying, I know. I won't do it again next time. Why did you come alone? Where are the servants who are taking care of you?"
Murong Xueying walked to Murong Sangsang and gently put the cloak on her shoulders. "Sister, I'm fine. I just missed you, so I asked the maids and nannies around me to do other things."
Murong Sangsang shook her head helplessly, "Girl, you are always so willful. Have you forgotten what happened when you were a child? At that time, you ran around everywhere, and the servants around you didn't take good care of you. As a result, you had a fever and it took several days to recover. You even dared to run around alone without leaving anyone to accompany you."
Murong Xueying lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I was wrong. But with you here, I'm not worried at all."
Murong Sangsang looked at her sister's cute appearance, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She took Murong Xueying's hand and said gently: "Okay, since you are here, come and watch the stars with me."
The two sisters stood side by side on the star-gazing platform, looking up at the starry sky and enjoying the peaceful night.
"Sister, I heard from the maids that you are going to have a queen. Will I have a brother-in-law?" Murong Xueying said excitedly, blinking her big eyes.
Murong Sangsang was startled when she heard this. She had never thought that this matter had spread so widely in the palace. She frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Did you hear it from the maids in the palace? Did it spread all over?"
Murong Xueying nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Yes, many people are discussing it. Everyone says that you are going to have a queen, which is a great joyous event! By the way, who do you want to choose as my brother-in-law?"
Murong Sangsang looked at her innocent sister and felt helpless. She sighed and explained, "You little girl, we haven't even started yet. I only agreed to it because the ministers kept nagging me. I had no other choice but to do it. I didn't really want to establish her as the queen. I didn't expect that the news would spread all over the city."
Murong Xueying didn't seem to understand Murong Sangsang's words. She continued to ask, "I heard from the maids that you have to choose more than one person, so do I have to have several brothers-in-law?"
Murong Sangsang was so angry at her sister's words that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her hand and gently tapped Xueying on the head, scolding her with a smile: "You little stinky girl, you just talk nonsense, you deserve to be beaten!"
"Sister, it hurts!" There was a hint of grievance in Xueying's gentle voice, which made people feel pity.
Murong Sangsang looked at her sister's pitiful appearance, shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile: "You are becoming more and more squeamish. I just hit you lightly, how much can it hurt? And you are still pretending to be pitiful."
Xueying blinked her big watery eyes, tears welling up in her eyes as if they could fall at any time, "Sister, I'm not pretending to be pitiful, I really feel sorry for you! Look, you hit me and it hurts me, but you don't feel sorry for me. Sister never hit me before. Wuuuuu..."
Seeing her sister so sad, Murong Sangsang felt a little sorry for her and quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I don't feel any pain anymore. Don't cry anymore."
Xueying sniffed and stopped crying, but still looked at Murong Sangsang with a resentful look, "Sister, you forgot about your sister now that you have a brother-in-law. I am so pitiful."
Murong Sangsang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, stop making trouble. How about this, I'll give you a compensation. You go to my private storehouse and choose three things. You can take whatever you like. Is that okay?"
Xueying burst into laughter as soon as she heard this, "Thank you, sister! You are the best!"
Murong Sangsang smiled and nodded, "Okay, go and choose. Fuguang, take the Princess Zhenguo to my private storehouse to get something."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Highness Princess, please follow me." Fu Guang bowed and said.
Xueying followed Fuguang happily, and before leaving, she turned back and said to Murong Sangsang, "Sister, I'll go first!"
Murong Sangsang smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Murong Sangsang stared at Xue Ying's gradually receding figure and shook her head helplessly, sighing inwardly: "Alas, this little girl, every time she comes to my place, she is like a swarm of locusts, sweeping away all my private treasury." She secretly groaned in her heart, those treasures that she had accumulated with great effort were going to be gone again.
Xueying was so smart. Every time she picked something, it was the best of the best. Murong Sangsang couldn't help wondering, what was the point of her having so many treasures? Was she just a collector? But every time she racked her brains to get something from him, Murong Sangsang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But, who can blame Xueying for being her sister? Murong Sangsang thought to herself, although she was a little reluctant to part with those treasures, blood is thicker than water after all, so she would just treat these things as gifts for her sister. Moreover, she had a little plan in her mind, at worst she could ask for more next time she went to General Bai.
Speaking of General Bai, Murong Sangsang had been coveting his personal collection for a long time. There were many treasures in it that she had always dreamed of, but it was a pity that General Bai was a bit stingy and only gave her a little bit each time. He always liked to whet her appetite, making her feel itchy. But sooner or later, one day, she would take all of General Bai's personal collection.
