Chapter Seventy-Seven: It Was a Dream of the Spring Boudoir
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yuncai said: "This matter is indeed my broken promise, and I hope the three princes will forgive me, after two days, I will definitely paint a Danqing and give it to the three princes, and I can also fulfill the wishes of the three princes." ”
Murong Yuhan was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Little master, little master." Zhaoyun listened carefully, like the voices of Angelica Angelica and Poplar, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed in his heart, and said busily: "Angelica Angelica, Poplar, I'm here." As he spoke, he said to Murong Yuhan Zhengse: "Third prince, my maid is looking for me, I am afraid that they will bump into this situation, and it will inevitably be criticized, so please let the third prince leave quickly." ”
Murong Yuhan felt that it was really inconvenient to be alone with Zhaoyun in the middle of the night, so he only said, "Please also ask Jieyu to keep her promise." With that, he hurried away.
As soon as Murong Yuhan left on his front foot, Bai Zhi and Lu Yang came looking for him, and Zhaoyun pretended to be angry: "Didn't you not let you follow, why did you find it again?" Lu Yang pouted: "Little master, what else do you say, Sister Bai Zhi returned to the palace, and saw that the little master went out alone, blaming us for not being able to follow us, and I was afraid that the little master would make another mistake, so I was very worried, so I hurriedly came with the slave and maid." ”
Zhao Yun smiled gently: "What can I miss, Bai Zhi is also too worried, since you two have found it, it is just right for you two to go back to the palace with me." Bai Zhi and Lu Yang hurriedly responded yes.
Just after walking a few steps, Zhaoyun inadvertently glanced at it, and found that there seemed to be a figure behind the flowers, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly said loudly: "Who is there?" ”
The person behind the flowers stood up, and Zhao Yun saw that he was dressed in a guard's clothes, and then looked at his appearance, he was even more shocked, that person was actually Zixuan. Zhaoyun suddenly met Zixuan, and he couldn't even finish his words, just "You... You... You're "non-stop." Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly said loudly: "Bold guard, when you see Jieyu, you don't kneel down yet." ”
Zixuan stepped forward and knelt down according to his words, and said in a slightly sad voice: "The slave is the head of the guards in Princess Bingning's palace, see Jieyu." ”
Zhaoyun's mood calmed down a little at this time, and said slowly: "Are you okay?" As soon as the words came out, I remembered that the two maids were still by my side, and it was really not appropriate to talk too closely with Zixuan, so as not to cause trouble. So he deliberately raised his voice and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zixuan seemed to try his best to suppress his emotions, and said slowly: "Not long after the slave entered the palace, the princess asked me to go to a place to get some things, and the slave got lost for a while, inadvertently offended Jieyu, and asked Jieyu to forgive me." ”
Bai Zhi was still about to interrogate, but Zhaoyun made a gesture to stop, and said: "Since you are a person in Princess Bingning's palace, I don't want to be too harsh on you, but at night, you are walking alone in the inner garden of the deep palace, and it is inconvenient, so it is better to go back as soon as possible." ”
Zixuan said slowly: "Thank you Jieyu." With that, he got up, glanced at Zhaoyun affectionately, and turned to leave.
On the way back to the palace, Bai Zhi said angrily: "In the middle of the night, as the head of the guard, I didn't stay in my own room well, what did I run out to do, and said that I was helping Princess Bingning get things, which was a lie at first glance." That's it, it even frightened the little master, and the little master was too kind, according to the slave's wishes, he would definitely send him to Princess Bingning's palace in person, so that the princess would know what kind of person the chief guard in her palace was, and he would be punished severely, so as not to run out in the middle of the night to be frightening. ”
When Zhaoyun heard this, he said lightly: "Don't say it, I wasn't frightened, if I make trouble in the princess's palace, a guard is fine, but it will inevitably make the princess feel that she has lost face, and it seems that I am tricky and harsh." Tonight, when you meet the chief guard of Princess Bingning's palace, you must not mention it to outsiders, if it is heard by someone with a heart and reaches the ears of the princess, so that there is a rift between me and Princess Bingning, it will not be good, do you understand? ”
Bai Zhi and Yang both said: "The little master is thoughtful, and the slave and maid obey the orders of the little master." ”
Back in the Ning Huan Palace, Zhaoyun sent Bai Zhi Luyang down, and he was alone in the inner room to think about the matter. I thought it would be rare to see Shang Zixuan again in this life, but I didn't want to meet him in the palace. No, this shouldn't be a chance encounter, I'm afraid this is Zixuan's deliberate planning. Zi Xuan was originally a lieutenant general in the Yulin Army, how could he suddenly become the head of the guard in Princess Bingning's palace, thinking that he must not be at ease, so he tried his best to enter the palace. Alas, Zixuan, it is impossible for you and I to grow old together in this life, even if you can find a chance to see me after entering the palace, what is the use? If you care about me like this, you must not be able to let go of other women in your heart, won't it delay your life's events. You are a promising man, and being a chief guard in the princess's palace is even more wrong for your own future. Zixuan, how can you be so confused, since I am already the emperor's concubine, you should forget that I am as soon as possible!
After thinking about it like this for a long time, Zhaoyun became more and more bored in his heart, so he simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes. But tossing and turning, Zixuan's figure was full of thoughts in his mind, and he was always uncertain, and suddenly he thought of what Murong Yuhan said and did to him in Chuifangyuan, and he felt even more unable to sleep. If the night passed, Zhaoyun woke up the next day, and he was much haggard.
After Zixuan returned to the palace, he saw Princess Bingning with the door wide open, and the bright lights and candles in front of the door illuminated the courtyard very brightly. Bingning was sitting in front of the door, and when she saw Zixuan coming back, she hurriedly got up and asked, "Master, where have you been, I won't find you in your room, and I'll wait until you now." ”
Zixuan's heart warmed slightly, he was just a head of the guard, although he taught the princess some martial arts, but it was also the duty of a minister, where was it worthy of the princess to treat herself so well, and she was waiting for her to come back with so many bright lights and candles in the courtyard.
Thinking of this, Zixuan hurriedly replied: "Thank you princess for your thoughts, there is nothing to do at night, Weichen felt bored, so he went out for a walk." ”
Bing Ning said angrily: "Even if the master wants to go out, he has to inform me, in the middle of the night, it is the inner garden of the deep palace, in case I happen to bump into a concubine in the palace who is interested and idle, and disturbs others, even if I want to protect you, I must always take care of the rules and etiquette of the palace, if something happens to you, wouldn't it make me worry." If you are bored in the future, tell me, and I will go out with you, and I will protect you. ”
Zixuan heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's Weichen who is not good, so that the princess is worried, and Weichen will definitely report to the princess when he goes out at night in the future." ”
Bingning seemed to want to say something more, but she stopped talking, paused for a while, and then said: "Master has been out for so long, he must be thirsty, the tea has been changed three times, if you don't come back, you should change the fourth one, while the tea is still mild, Master drink it quickly." ”
Zixuan sighed silently in his heart, since entering the palace these days, Bing Ning has treated herself really well, and even her personal maid Flowing Frost has not been so good. Zixuan is a person who has experienced feelings, although he guesses that Bing Ning is interested in him, but he doesn't dare to think deeply, he only hopes that Bing Ning is pure in mind and worships his martial arts, so he looks at himself differently.
Zixuan drank tea, talked a few more gossips with Bingning, said goodbye to Bingning, and returned to his house.
As soon as he entered the house and lay down, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, Zixuan had to get up and open the door, but it was frost, and he was still holding a thin brand new brocade quilt in his hand. Zixuan asked suspiciously, "Frost girl, ...... is this?" ”
Liushuang smiled and said: "Manager Ling, the princess said that it was cool at night, so she came to the manager's house to take a look, and saw that there was only a coarse cloth half-used bullet flower sheet on the manager's couch, saying that even if the manager is a person who practices martial arts, he must also pay attention to his body, if he catches a cold at night, the princess is only afraid that she will be uneasy, so she asked me to send this brocade quilt here." ”
Zixuan hurriedly took it, and Zhengse replied: "The princess has a heart, and after the girl goes back, she will say that I thank the princess for her care, please feel at ease." Flowing Frost nodded and left with a smile.
"What did Master say?" Seeing Liushuang coming back, Bing Ning hurriedly asked. After the frost returned, Bingning had a faint disappointment on her face, and muttered: "He didn't say that he also asked me to pay attention to my body, don't catch a cold at night?" ”
Liushuang saw a trace of displeasure on Bingning's face, and persuaded him: "There are so many palace people serving around the princess, and Manager Ling probably thought that so many people would be able to take good care of the princess, so he didn't say this, and the princess shouldn't think about it too much." ”
Bingning sighed to himself in his heart: "It's one thing to think, it's one thing to say it, he didn't say it, maybe he didn't have me in his heart." Maybe I'm too concerned about him, so I always hope that he cares about me. ”
