Chapter 15: The Palace
The carriage slowly walked away, Jing Ning stood in place, his slender fingers touching the big on his body, and secretly pondering what the noble son said.
β¦β¦ Will we see you again? She couldn't help laughing, in the huge Kyoto, she would leave for Pingcheng immediately after finishing the funeral, and if she didn't stay for a while, how could she have the opportunity to see her again.
Well, as a polite word, it is. It's just that this big feather is made of dark cloud brocade and feather satin, and if you don't look at it, you can know that it is white fox fur, which is warm, and it is very precious. I'm afraid I can only wait until I meet in the future and then return it to him.
It was windy in the early morning, Xue Jingning tightened the big swords on his body, and found that there was still a faint fragrance of Longyan.
The sky was getting clearer and clearer, and the streets were gradually bustling, and after Xue Jingning changed his clothes, he sat quietly in the first inn and waited to listen to Bai, and he couldn't help but hear a few gossips.
"Well, have you heard? Xue Yi, the prefect of Pingcheng, is gone. β
"But Xue Jungong three years ago? How to be good and ......"
It is said that he became ill from overwork, but his stupid daughter suddenly recovered. Alas, what a wicked worker. β
"The news has spread, that Xue Jingning often caused trouble when he was in Kyoto, and when he went to Pingcheng, it became even worse, and now he has killed his own father."
"It seems that I am going back to Beijing for a funeral recently, do you think that this Miss Xue will become a dominatrix when she gets better?"
Everyone at the table laughed lowly.
Jing Ning lowered her eyebrows and drank tea, it seemed that what the people around her were talking about had nothing to do with her, she was naturally right, she would not care about the words of a group of ignorant people.
It's just that although she didn't make a sound, she could hear a clear voice with a little warmth, "Shut up, don't talk about it here if you don't know the truth." β
Jing Ning turned his head to look, and saw a handsome man standing at the door, wearing a purple robe embroidered with silver silk edges, a jade hairpin in his hair, and an indescribable momentum on his body.
The man's face was calm, obviously the other party was very dissatisfied with the conversation, and everyone in the building seemed to know his identity, and he was as quiet as a cicada. A shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and said humbly, "It was Lord Song who came, and the little one was sluggish." β
Lord Song? There are not many officials surnamed Song in the court, and judging by his age, he is only in his early teens, could it be ...... Is it Song Boyan of the Song State Mansion?
Because she had never seen it before, Xue Jingning didn't feel much, but the handsome man's eyes fell on her, and he approached quickly in surprise after a little stunned, a little incredulous, "Jingning? Are you Jingning? β
The surrounding diners suddenly sighed.
Xue Jingning put down the cup, got up, and said lightly, "Jingning has seen my cousin." β
"It's really you." Song Boyan didn't know what to say for a while, and he was quite relieved to hold her shoulder, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." β
took her to go out, "I took a day off today, but I didn't expect to meet you." I'll take you back to the Song family first, my grandfather and father are very worried about you. β
Jing Ning shook his head, "No, cousin, I want to enter the pilgrimage to see the Holy One after some repairs, and then I will go to meet the elders when I leave the palace." β
"You're going to enter the palace now?" Song Boyan groaned, "It's okay, it's almost time for the next dynasty." I'll have nothing to do left and right, and I'll go into the palace with you. β
Outside the building, Tingbai arrived just in time, tired from the dust. Jing Ning didn't have much to say to him, so he only gave a few hasty instructions and asked him to wait at the inn first.
Since the Chonghua Gate into the palace, to the Tianshui Bridge stopped the sedan chair changed to walking. Xue Jingning raised his eyes to see the scene in front of him, the wide avenue, the palaces are heavy, and the land of the solemn sΓΉ Mu shows the royal nobility everywhere.
Song Boyan stood beside her with his hands in his hand, and said softly, "The inner prison has gone to report, and I will lead you to the Rui Si Palace." β
"Wisdom Palace?" Jing Ning was puzzled, "That's not where the East Palace is?" β
Song Boyan explained to her, "Your Majesty has been unwell recently, so the prince will be in charge, and all state affairs will be judged by the prince. He paused, and reminded him uneasily, "The prince is resolute, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds when we meet you." β
It was the crown prince who was famous in this big Qi. Xue Jingning already has a little bit of a clear understanding of his style of acting, and it can be seen from the encroachment on Liangtian on Jingping North Road that the methods of this prince of the heavenly family are even more vigorous and resolute than today's holy capital.
The palace eunuch who guarded the gate hung his head and came out to reply, "Lord Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuanxue has come to see you." β
Song Boyan pursed the corners of his mouth and patted her shoulder, "You enter the hall, I'll go to Longzhang Pavilion, and then I'll pick you up and take you back to the Song Mansion." β
Jing Ning bowed, "Thank you, cousin." He turned around and entered the palace with the palace eunuch.
The warm sun is obliquely shining, the white jade paved ground in the main hall is shining like broken gold, and the eaves on the red pillar are coiled with dragons, golden scales and golden armor, swirling and almost taking off. The two big lacquerware incense burners stand on both sides of the temple gate, the cinnabar background is painted with gold, the light smoke on the tripod is swirling, and the fragrance overflows repeatedly.
There was a man in a silk dragon robe sitting faintly on the high seat in the hall, Jing Ning didn't dare to look directly at Tianyan, and bowed down Shi Shiran to bow down.
"The courtier Xue Jingning visited His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."
