203 Temple of the Dragon's Tooth
Since being bitten by Shen Yan'er in the playoffs, subject to King Ning and Wei Zhenhai, even the Queen Mother's Phoenix Ke, who was afraid of him, has been recuperating in the Hail Snow Palace. Not to mention the deliberations of the court, even if you want to step out of the gate of the Hail Snow Palace, you must consult the Queen Mother and King Ning. Although they would not tear their faces and forcibly restrict Feng Fengke's actions in the form of orders, they would use the method of "moving with affection and understanding reason" every time, and persuaded him to stop working hard and recuperate with peace of mind. Maybe the Queen Mother can be regarded as thinking hard for Phoenix Ke, but King Ning, who knows the whole thing better than Phoenix Ke, has other intentions.
After Phoenix Ke moved to the Xue Palace to recuperate, Shen Yan'er, who didn't want to look up and look down with him, and didn't want to be disturbed by him every day, simply pretended to be sick and stayed in the hospital. Under the protection of the little imperial physician Ling Sima Guo, her little trick of pretending to be sick was not only not exposed, but also brought her additional benefits.
It was the tenth day after Feng Feng Ke was placed under house arrest, and with the assistance of Wei Zhenhai and Pan Wenlong, two important civil and military ministers, he finally worked hard to deal with the handover of government affairs between the DPRK and China.
In the cool breeze of the evening, Shen Yan'er, who was walking in the yard, inadvertently raised her head and saw the chic figure of Phoenix Nanhua walking towards her from the end of the winding corridor. Perhaps because of the comfortable mood after seizing power, he even seemed to be extremely brisk in his steps. There was only Shen Yan'er living around, and she immediately guessed what Phoenix Nanhua's trip was.
After sending Jing Hao away, Shen Yan'er poured tea for Phoenix Nanhua in the small open-air pavilion. As soon as he put down the teapot, he heard the footsteps of Phoenix Nanhua already climbing the steps. After a few polite greetings, Phoenix Nanhua expressed his intention: "It's hard to be free, the red leaves outside the Dragon's Tooth Temple are just right, I have made an appointment with Wei Shixuan to go out of the city, why don't you go with you?" ”
Phoenix Nanhua's words were sincere, his attitude was sincere, and it sounded like a good intention, making it difficult to say what he refused, but after Shen Yan'er heard his words, she hurriedly avoided it as if she was afraid of getting into some big trouble. Without thinking about it, he excused himself and said, "This is your agreement with her." What am I going to do with the fun? You should be grateful, you should be grateful, you should be grateful, I can't help you, and I'm just disgusted when I go. ”
"You can't say that. You didn't have the king's consent. Make a promise to her instead of me. After the deed was done, he forced me to give it to her. Isn't it too much to shrink back and ignore it? Shen Yan'er's clever plan made Phoenix Nanhua pick up a big bargain for nothing, and it was too late for him to be happy. I didn't really blame Shen Yan'er at all, but I just complained a little about Shen Yan'er's tough approach of "cutting first and then playing, so that he had no way out".
The reason why the two have this conversation is because Shen Yan'er promised Xiaoqing that as long as Xiaoqing acts according to the plan and puts King Ning in power, she will let King Ning accompany Xiaoqing to the suburbs for a day. Xiaoqing has made such a great contribution, and the remuneration that King Ning needs to pay her is just a one-day companion, even if she lights a lantern, she can't find such a good thing, so Shen Yan'er, who is not free of movement, can only make an assertion and agree for King Ning first.
Later, after explaining the matter to King Ning, he also acquiesced, but when it was time to fulfill his promise, he retreated. Shen Yan'er thought about things too simply, the only thing she didn't expect was that King Ning was actually a shy man. I heard that I want to accompany a woman who has a good impression of me and is pretending to be the daughter of a general to participate in the draft, and I can't heal the knots in my heart when I travel with either a queen or a concubine in the future.
"After all, Wei Shixuan is the queen candidate of the imperial brother, I just took over the government affairs for the imperial brother, and when I turned around, I immediately traveled alone with his woman, what kind of system did this become? People who don't know think that I deliberately framed my brother for the sake of women. ”
It seems that Phoenix Nanhua has carefully thought about the stakes in the past few days, and it is indeed a matter of word, and Shen Yan'er couldn't help but nod after hearing it. At this juncture, going to the mountains and rivers with a sensitive woman like Wei Shixuan is indeed self-defeating and realistic.
Phoenix Nanhua saw that Shen Yan'er was shaken, and hurriedly persuaded her more earnestly: "You have a life-saving grace for her in the mass grave, and she seriously injured you in the playoffs, causing you to be seriously injured and not healing, so she should accompany you to the suburbs to relax." And I happened to travel as an entourage, neither conspicuous nor scolding, which was the most perfect arrangement. ”
"You're perfect, but Xiaoqing must hate me to death. What she wants is to be alone with you, to talk about her love for so many years, but you forcibly pulled me between you, and she thought I was deliberately stirring up the situation. Shen Yan'er's mind already had the appearance of Xiaoqing's cheeks bulging with anger after seeing her figure.
"Then I can only wronged you to put the overall situation first." Phoenix Nanhua saw that Shen Yan'er's attitude had softened, so the pleading in her tone was lightened, and it was replaced with a little evil that harmed others and benefited herself. After a while, seeing that Shen Yan'er still shouldn't, he used a trick to bring up the old thing: "Do you remember the exorcism card I gave you when you signed up for the mass grave?" ”
If Shen Yan'er had the last trace of hesitation just now, then after hearing Phoenix Nanhua's words, she completely raised her hand and surrendered. "Okay, okay, I know, I'll help you......" It's really soft and short-mouthed, and you shouldn't owe anything to people.
The next day, the carriage that took Shen Yan'er out of the palace stopped early outside the Tai Hospital. There were two carriages, one leading the way in front, sitting Phoenix Nanhua and Xiaoqing. The other car was empty, and Shen Yan'er, the maid Jinghao, and the accompanying doctor Sima Guo were all picked up in the hospital.
The Dragon's Tooth Temple is located in the suburbs of the capital with beautiful mountains and clear waters, beautiful scenery, because it has the ancient holy relics "Dragon Teeth" and gets its name, it has always been the holy place where the royal family often travels to worship the Buddha, and it takes about two hours to arrive by carriage. According to Phoenix Nanhua's plan, they arrived at the temple at noon for dinner, visited the red leaf forest in the afternoon, stayed in the temple at night, and set off to return after listening to the presiding master speak the morning period the next day, and could return to the palace probably tomorrow afternoon.
Two carriages carrying nobles left the palace in the beautiful morning glow, and under the strict protection of more than 50 guards, they ran over the smooth and spacious stone road and headed in the direction of the city gate. In the early morning, the capital has not yet fully woken up, everywhere is quiet, the footsteps of pedestrians seem to be lighter than at noon, and the streets that are usually busy with traffic seem to be a lot more spacious. Shen Yan'er, who hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, couldn't help but open the curtains, sniffed the fresh air with a hint of coolness, and watched the gray sky become blue little by little.
