Chapter 263: Joy in front of the palace (finale)
"Your Highness, this is part of today's advice, and I have returned from the East Chamber. β
Gonggong Hai came to the crown prince with some scrolls in his hand.
"Oh?"
Li Baijiao smiled, looking a little tired, "The East Chamber?"
Miss Xu said that she would rest for a few days, and left the palace early in the morning. Father-in-law Hai also smiled and said softly: "Our family saw that she went out with Ning Yi." β
The prince lowered his eyebrows and seemed to be "writing" something, but he shook his head helplessly, his expression was not angry, and he said softly: "Let her be." β
"But...... Several things have happened in the sky today. β
Gonggong Hai leaned down and spoke softly in the prince's ear, and even used his own cultivation to gather sound into a line and isolate the heavens.
Li Baijiao raised his eyebrows.
"Something interesting. β
He tapped his fingers lightly on the tea case, "Let those spies who follow Ning Yi disperse, don't continue to follow, tell them...... This is the meaning of the main hall. β
Grandpa Hai snorted.
"Let Gongsun get more and more of a step up and draw up the list, I will see it after the palace banquet...... Full list. Speaking of this, the prince's tone suddenly turned cold, and his pen was full of murderous intent, "Those people in the Supervision Department don't need to hide it." β
Hai Gonggong's expression was grim.
"Whoa!"
At this time, there was a commotion outside the hall, and the jade pendant in the palm of Gonggong Hai trembled.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Highness...... Dewey is here, would you like to meet?"
The prince's posture of hanging the pen froze, and he said softly: "Let's just say that the main hall is busy, so there is no need to meet." Father-in-law Hai, you tell him, let Du Gongzi live and recuperate, and don't take the gossip of some people outside to heart, as for the rest, there is no need to say more. β
Gonggong Hai narrowed his eyes, "The matter of Green Willow Street?"
The prince smiled and said, "Just knock it out." β
Silence returned.
Those documents stacked in front of the case were gently pushed away by the prince, and he seemed to be in a good mood, picking up his masterpiece with both hands, shaking it slightly, and couldn't help laughing.
The pen and ink are beginning to dry.
Drawing a girl leaning on the attic and nibbling on a frozen pear.
If Ning Yi was here, he would inevitably slander in his heart, the prince's painting skills were really average, and he couldn't paint Xu Qingyan's charm at all.
But if you look closely, the woman at the railing, her expression, and dress are completely different from Xu Qingyan.
......
......
"We have spies behind us?"
Xu Qingyan blinked, feeling incredible.
She was dragged by Ning Yi's sleeves, trotting all the way, after the two of them left the Tiandu Imperial City, they made nine bends and eighteen turns, turned several dense forests, ancient mountains, Wu Daozi had previously laid a breath-holding array in the dense forest, and those spies lost a short distance, but soon caught up again.
Ning Yi looked indifferent and said, "It's not a big problem, you leave the palace, and they follow." It's just that the stalking is not dead, it is always spreading, when we used the breath-holding charm before, it is estimated that they will not be able to find a specific person, and there are a few street squatting points, afraid that you will get lost. β
Xu Qingyan was a little annoyed and said, "Li Baijiao has gone back on his word and is not trustworthy. β
"It's not his fault. Ning Yi smiled, "After all, it's the famous Xu Qingyan in the East Chamber, how can there be no spies staring at it?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan smiled innocently, a little embarrassed.
"Huh......"
Ning Yi suddenly babbled lightly, he stopped, and looked back, his pupils swelled with divinity, dyeing his pupils into a golden color.
Through the forest and leaves, birds and insects, layered on top of each other, all swept under the care of divinityβ
"That
The spies are gone. β
Ning Yi sighed and said, "It is estimated that it was an order from the palace, and Li Baijiao knew that I took you away, so he withdrew those guards." β
Xu Qingyan scratched his head.
"He knows everything, what did you do to Du Chun...... Does he know too?"
Ning Yi understated and said, "There are no secrets in Tiandu City. For the crown prince, the information of the commotion on Green Willow Street will arrive in the palace faster than Dewey. As for me hitting Du Chun...... Of course he knew, but he didn't have to. β
"To be precise, there's no need for Dewey to know, he knows. β
This sentence is a bit awkward.
But Xu Qingyan understood.
She said softly: "The relationship between you and that little pavilion elder in Xiling doesn't seem to be good. β
"Li Changshou?" Ning Yi smiled and said, "He was almost beaten by me in the Sword Xinghou Mansion, and when he met at the palace banquet, he was probably going to tear his face." Regarding the crusade against the East, Li Changshou and I are completely on the opposite side. β
Ning Yi wants to make benefits for himself and Lingshan.
And Li Changshou wants to fight for resources for Xiling...... The perfect situation of that little attic's idea was to use the power of Lingshan to conquer the eastern realm, and he would make a profit.
It's just that Ning Yi is here, and his thoughts are like jokes.
"The prince is an old fox, he can see it clearly. Ning Yi sneered, found a stone on a remote mountain, gently swept away the snow with the scabbard, and sat down without paying attention to his posture.
In front of him is the mountains and forests swaying, the dead leaves and snow, the small hill is not high, but the victory is in the open field of vision, Ning Yi can clearly see that the Tiandu Imperial City in the night, the lights are on, the red lanterns are fluttering around, and there are fireworks rising in the boxy imperial city.
In the distance is the hustle and bustle of the world.
It's a secluded world.
Ning Yi was actually reluctant to say bad things about intrigue to Xu Qingyan, he put his hands behind his head, his mood was complicated, and he finally chose to simply pass the whole thing.
"The crusade against the eastern border is a big deal, and the prince doesn't believe in me or Li Changshou in the selection of people for this matter, so he wants to see who is more powerful, the two tigers are fighting, and who wins whom. β
Li Changshou has royal blood, and compared to Ning Yi, he must be a more controllable person.
Merely...... Ning Yi's "Taiping Solution" in the Lingshan negotiations is really tempting.
Because of Du Chun's "trouble", there seems to be some small unhappiness today, and this Du Gongzi has led to a series of power struggles and troubles on his own.
Ning Yi gently exhaled a depressed breath.
He asked, turning his head and smiling.
"Did you have fun today?"
Xu Qingyan was a little dazed, as if he didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only hum softly.
Du Chun's appearance made her think of some things on her mind.
Xu Qingyan sat down not far from Ning Yi's side, not very close, and the two of them kept a relatively clear distance-
Xu Qingyan rested his hands lightly on his knees, still a little restrained, the etiquette education in the palace was kept in mind, even in the small barren mountains where no one was around, his back was still extremely straight, and his back seemed to be against a ring ruler.
She looked at the Heavenly Capital Imperial City with a blurred gaze.
Those swaying brilliance, rising in the distant sky, are like oil paintings, confusing the colors.
Voices are also getting muffled.
Is this where you've lived for five years?
"Thank you. Xu Qingyan suddenly smiled, "Mr. Ning, thank you for taking me to see the world again." β
Ning Yi also smiled.
"The world is big. β
Ning Yi stretched out his arms and made a big gesture, and he suddenly stood up, as if he was about to take the ancient tree under the mountain
, the birds in the dome, and the galaxy on the head, all in their arms.
He made such a gesture seriously, and then said to Xu Qingyan.
"There is this, this, so big in the worldβ"
"And that's not all. β
Xu Qingyan looked at the "boy" standing on the top of the mountain under the starry river on a snowy night.
The eyebrows are still immature, and the eyes are still clear.
"The sea of clouds in the northern land of the demon clan is infested with Kunpeng, and it can swallow half of the Heavenly Capital Imperial City in one bite. β
"In the southwest of the Great Sui, there is Penglai Immortal Island, where the sword fairy controls the flying sword and shuttles like a meteor. β
"In addition to the Tiandu Imperial City, there are many other places in the world that are worth a visit. β
Ning Yi stared at Xu Qingyan seriously and said, "This world is by no means a cage, and it is ...... Even if it's dark, it can be beautiful. β
Xu Qingyan was stunned.
Ning Yi's words fell on her heart like an ancient bell gently rang by a monk.
She muttered softly.
This world is by no means a cage......
Even if it's dark, it can be beautiful.
In the distant Tiandu Imperial City, there was a sudden roar of fireworks that soared into the sky, wisps of fireworks and wisps of fireworks, whistling into the sky, and the "peng" exploded, turning into a sky full of stars, a rain of fire.
Xu Qingyan never just looked up at the fireworks exploding, casting a patch of day on his head.
She once felt that no matter how brilliant the fireworks were, they were only for a moment.
Light...... It's always short-lived.
But tonight, she stood on the top of the hill and watched the Tiandu Imperial City being shrouded in fireworks, but it was a different scenery.
You don't need fireworks, it's beautiful.
The girl stood up slowly, the movements of getting up were unintentional, she unconsciously came to Ning Yi's side, and Ning Yi looked at the night of the distant mountains together, the fluffy snowflakes fluttered on the top of the mountain, and the soft light of the ancient lights in the city shrouded a layer of white haze.
Xu Qingyan's voice was a little hoarse, "It's so beautiful." β
Ning Yi looked at her with a smile, and suddenly missed a beat in his heart.
The girl always felt like she was living in the dark...... But it's not.
Xu Qingyan is a person who will unconsciously shine in the dark, she is still focused on looking at the fireworks in the sky, and she has not noticed that the people around her have taken their eyes off the distance.
Ning Yi looked at her distractedly, was silent for several breaths, and then reacted, quickly pinched his palm, exhaled a breath, and said deeply: "Yes...... It's beautiful indeed. β
Two people stood in the snow.
Stood for a long time.
The fireworks in Tiandu have ended.
But Xu Qingyan still maintained the appearance of looking into the distance, she looked at the ancient city, mountains and rivers, and the world in the distance...... Watching those lanterns go out one by one, watching people go home and fall asleep, looking at this picture that they have never seen before, surprisingly quiet, surprisingly focused.
"It turns out that the world can be so beautiful. β
She said softly, "There is no light, but it is also beautiful." β
Ning Yi stood with her for a long time, for him, such a scenery was really not very beautiful, let alone anything new.
But he was not impatient, and kept quietly accompanying Xu Qingyan.
This is the first time she has seen the world like this.
It's a big moment β
So Ning Yi didn't hold an umbrella, nor did she cast a talisman to block her vision, let alone open her mouth to disturb her.
Until the end.
Snowflakes have turned the hair on both shoulders white.
Xu Qingyan clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and his ten fingers were clasped.
She secretly glanced at Ning Yi and silently made a wish in her heart.
"I hope to see the snow with you every year. β
