178. Chapter 178: The White Fox in a Dream
Jian Ye was stunned, not knowing why Jian Ning suddenly made such a discussion.
"That's what I thought of all the way." Jian Ning's expression was indifferent, "It was also Rong Qingyi who reminded me that whether she was really sick or pretending to be sick, she achieved her goal, that is, she didn't have to be with me, so I had no way to deal with her." Therefore, I want to avoid the harm of others, and I can only make myself strong enough to avoid becoming a thorn in the side of others. If it is really as the Queen Mother thinks, you execute the old emperor, I marry the young prince, assist him to ascend the throne, become the Ninety-Five, his ambition and his youth, but my constraints, I have to try my best to please him, deal with the endless beautiful women in the palace, but also obey the Queen Mother's arrangement, for the Queen Mother's plan to do my best. Where is my Jian Ning so cheap, I want to be good, so I want to marry the old emperor and borrow his hand to make myself the center of power. ”
Jian Ye sighed lightly and nodded: "It sounds quite reasonable, okay, I'll give you another day to think about it, if you insist on doing so, I will change all plans." ”
Jian Ning nodded, tilted her head slightly, and glanced at the carriage, "Let's go back." ”
Jian Ye nodded, and accompanied Jian Ning back to the carriage, the inside of the carriage has been completely renewed, and all of them have been replaced with new carpets and rich and luxurious patterns.
"Power is a good thing." Jian Ning smiled slightly, and said with a trance expression, "Win or lose." Jian Ye, Rong Qingyi, this little girl, looks simple and cute, but she is smart and smart, and you have cleaned it up. ”
Jian Ye laughed and said: "She, a yellow-haired girl who is only eleven years old, I can't clean it up, you are too underestimate this son, I sue you, I must give her life for me and die for me!" ”
Jian Ning said indifferently: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I want to talk to you about my heart, as soon as I say it, you and my sister and brother will quarrel, it's really strange, how could such a gentle and calm person as my father and mother give birth to such a bastard guy who doesn't know what to do, even I, who is a sister, dare to be sarcastic." Where are you going back and forth, Princess Ben is suddenly in a bad mood and doesn't want to speak, and you disappear in front of Princess Ben immediately. ”
Jian Ye immediately raised his voice and said, "You think I want to talk to you, let's go!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, did not play the umbrella, hurried back to his carriage in a few steps, signaled the coachman to slow down the carriage slightly, jumped into the carriage and returned to the car, Jiang Shiwei was gone.
In the next two days, nothing happened, everyone moved forward steadily along the way, staying at the inn at night, Jian Ning was also very quiet, Jian Ye followed professionally, still careless about anything, the two sisters and brothers met, talked and laughed in a few words, and then mixed a few words.
This night, everyone stayed in the inn, and the Lord Song, who received his relatives, drank a few sips of wine, and was very nervous all the way, getting closer and closer to his own country, looking at the more and more familiar scenery, his mood was also a lot more relaxed, and he was very satisfied with the familiar taste of wine.
"What's going on with Princess Lemon?" Master Song smacked his lips and asked casually.
"It's been quiet for the past two days, and I don't talk much, and I don't eat much." The attendant standing aside whispered, "The little one has been secretly observing, and when he left their country, he still talked a few jokes, but in the past two days, he was always silent, and he was still in a daze from time to time. ”
"It's almost our country, and she's not used to it." Master Song said disapprovingly, "Married here from her own country, I don't know what kind of Qiqi I have to face, I am only nineteen years old, my father and mother have been used to it since I was a child, the farther away from home, the more panicked I become, it's okay, as long as we don't get sick and don't cause trouble, and we are safely and securely accepted into the palace, even if we complete the task, wait for the reward, and go home to reunite with our families." ”
The attendant nodded immediately, "What the adults said is that the little one was confused and thought too much. ”
"It's better to be careful." Lord Song had a little shallow alcohol on his face, slightly reddened, and some red bloodshot in his eyes, and sniffed, "It's been seven or eight days of travel, and another three or five days will arrive, be careful, good." ”
The attendant nodded immediately, "The little one has been secretly and carefully observing. Anything else is good to say, but today I overheard Princess Ning talking to the slave who served her, as if she had mentioned a name, which made the little one very shocked, and then she became suspicious. ”
"What's the name?" Lord Song was not too enthusiastic to ask.
"Princess Ning said that for two or three nights in a row, she had been dreaming of a very beautiful woman, and she heard someone in the dream calling this beautiful woman Tian Mei'er." The entourage cautiously looked at Lord Song's expression as he spoke, and carefully considered the words, "This sounds a little similar to the name of the most favored beauty by the emperor today." ”
Lord Song frowned, "You heard me right?" ”
"Well, the little one can hear it very clearly, so he will be suspicious." The entourage continued in a very cautious tone, "At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but after listening carefully to a few words, I felt that the name mentioned by Princess Ning might be the most favored Tian Meiren by the emperor today." ”
"What did they say?" Lord Song was also a little curious.
Although Jian Ye is her younger brother, because her sister married into their country, she has also been to their country two or three times, but she has never asked about the things in their palace, and naturally it is impossible to know who the most favored beauty is by the emperor now, especially this Tian Meier is not a concubine, but now the emperor is the most favored.
"I heard Princess Ning say that she had heard this woman's name called many times in her dreams, but every time the woman looked back and smiled, she would turn into a white fox, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, which woke her up again and again." The attendant said cautiously, "She said that the places she passed along the way were all official roads, and it stands to reason that there were no bad places, let alone any graveyards, how could she have such a dream?" ”
Lord Song pursed his lips and remained silent.
"If it's just like this, listen to the slave who serves her and ask, 'Princess, is the Tian Mei'er you said that will turn into a white fox the woman you are painting now, she is really good-looking, and she is charming, but this dress looks a little strange, not like what you have seen in our country'." The attendant took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Then, I heard Princess Ning say, 'Don't mention her, when I mention it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I just feel panicked, I drew her out last night, and I forgot to lose it, this princess finally forgot it, but you are here to remind you again and again'." As he spoke, he threw a ball of paper out of the carriage, and the little one immediately picked it up and opened it to take a look, but it really startled the little one. ”
As he spoke, he handed the paper to Master Song, the paper was originally grouped together, probably as flat as possible after he picked it up, but there were still tearing marks in some places, and some wrinkles.
However, the woman in the painting still made Lord Song tremble at the same time.
"It's so similar." Lord Song muttered to himself, "Xia Guan once saw this woman when he visited the emperor in the back garden, and he sighed in his heart at that time that she was really a beautiful woman, and her words and deeds revealed a pitiful taste, especially the red mole hidden in the left eyebrow, which was not even half a point, and this dress, wasn't it given to Tian Meiren by the emperor that day?" How did she know! ”
The entourage immediately shook his head, "The little one doesn't know, I just think that the woman in this painting is a little similar to the emperor's favored Tian Meiren, and the little one is not blessed to see Tian Meiren up close, but it is far away enough to see it once." As the adults said, it was really a woman who made people feel uneasy, so she had a little impression, and when she saw it, she was really startled, and she didn't say anything else, just said that this dress, how did Princess Ning know? ”
Lord Song was also puzzled, yes, the costumes of the two countries are different, if they are roughly similar, it would be fine, but the woman in Jian Ning's painting is not half a point off the smallest jewelry, and even her expression is extremely similar, it seems that she drew this picture standing in front of Tian Meiren.
"After Princess Ning rested, I went to invite the four slaves and maids who served her, they are the girls who accompany the marriage, and they have been serving Princess Ning, if there is anything abnormal about Princess Ning in the past two days, they must know best." Lord Song thought for a moment and said, "We must figure out this matter." ”
"Yes." The attendant immediately bent respectfully and turned to leave.
Lord Song lost his love for a while to continue drinking, sat at the table with his eyebrows furrowed, and looked at the portrait on the table, this is definitely the portrait of Tian Meiren, but how Princess Ning, who has never seen Tian Meiren, drew it, is it really a dream?
Why do you say that you have become a white fox? What does this portend, the red face and the water?
It is said that this Tian Meiren is the most favored by the emperor today, but some people in private say that this Tian Meiren used to be the slave maid of a certain prince, and everyone dare not say which one it is, just guess.
"Your Excellency." The attendant walked in from outside, "The little one went to see just now, Princess Ning has just had dinner, and she has taken a walk in the corridor for a while, and then she has washed up, and she will rest in a while." The slaves who were waiting for her could not leave for a while, and the other three had already left to go back to the room where they were resting. ”
"First bring the slaves and maids who have been serving Princess Lemon for the past two days." Lord Song thought for a while, "Let's just say that the lower officials want to know about the situation of Princess Ning in the past two days, is it still used to the water and soil along the way, is there anything that is not suitable, so that the people in the palace can prepare in advance according to Princess Ning's situation." ”
"Yes." The retinue nodded and left.
After a while, I heard the footsteps of the retinue returning, and there were people following the footsteps of their companions.
