Chapter 177: Little Novice
Knowing that Xie Ning was going out with Wei Qingyang today, Qin Feng was not very surprised when he heard this, but his indifferent performance made Gu Qingyun on the other side suspicious. But seeing that her fingers were loosened, she said tentatively to Qin Feng again: "Your Highness, since she rejected me, why did you sit back and ignore her when she was married to others?" Could it be that His Highness is talking to me, the person you like, is there someone else? ”
Gu Qingyun's words landed, but Qin Feng only glanced at her lightly, and his voice did not fluctuate when he spoke-"I said, who I like has nothing to do with you." No matter how hard you calculate, it will be empty after all. Lord Ling Zun is far-sighted, and I am afraid that I have already planned for your family affairs. ”
Gu Qingyun looked stunned, then looked at him with a wry smile, and said, "You really know......"
"That's right," Qin Feng replied categorically, there was no hesitation in his black eyes like ink, and he didn't dodge when he met Gu Qingyun's lost eyes.
Blood was already oozing from her lips, Gu Qingyun had a white face, gritted her teeth again and said, "My father intended to choose a relative for me, but he promised me that everything would come first." You know that I have been pleased with you for a long time, why don't you say it sooner or later, but you want to make it clear before I am about to do it? Do you dare to say that you have never considered marrying me before? ”
Although Gu Qingyun is usually kind, she can be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the entire capital, I am afraid that only the princesses can compete with one of them. Of course, she also has her arrogance, and now that she can say these words in such a gaffe, you can imagine how much Qin Feng's words hurt her today.
Qin Feng has known her since childhood. Although she doesn't have much contact with her because she is bedridden all the year round, you can also see the excitement in her expression. He had never paid much attention to etiquette, so he didn't care about the honorific title she omitted at this time, but just such a small subtlety could make Qin Feng perceive Gu Qingyun's state of mind at this time.
But he had decided to make a break with her today, and he must say what he had to say. What's more, he only had a bad feeling for Gu Qingyun, and now he didn't have any thoughts of pity and pity, his eyes cast to the red shadow opposite, and he also stood up. Zhengse said: "Not really. I didn't know what you wanted. It's just that you see me as an older brother and feel guilty about me for falling into the water all those years ago. ”
"And then?" Gu Qingyun asked unrelentingly, looking at Qin Feng fixedly with a pair of beautiful eyes, for fear of missing any subtle expression on his face.
Qin Feng looked at her deeply. There was a bit of helplessness in the tone. "I'm aware of it. It's just two years of work. I've never thought of you. As for why I didn't say it before, I have to make it clear to you at this time. You know why. ”
Gu Qingyun opened her mouth suddenly, but her tone was low and dark, "Is it because of Xiao Yan?" ”
"He's got his heart out for you." Qin Feng spit out these five words with a faint expression.
"Your Highness," Gu Qingyun called softly, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on the little face of the pear blossom with rain, which was very gorgeous, but in this situation, it only made people feel weird.
Qin Feng frowned without a trace, but saw that she continued to speak: "Qing Wan still has something I want to verify from you. ”
"Say it." Qin Feng stood opposite her with his hands in his hands, and his gesture of wanting to leave was already just right.
"I did order people to spread rumors in the capital, but the purpose was to spread the word to the people about you and me. If one day, the emperor will give you and me a holy decree to give marriage. When that happens, Your Highness, how will you respond? At this point, Gu Qingyun even blinked her eyes playfully, as if what she said at this time was just a harmless joke, not a major event related to the two of them for life.
Compared with her careless attitude, Qin Feng inevitably sank his face, his eyes darkened in an instant, and he said coldly: "Miss Gu, please be careful." Even if your father knows about this, your words are tantamount to a fool's dream. Prime Minister Gu will not approve of it, and no one in the DPRK and China will be happy to see it happen. ”
Gu Qingyun also put away a smile on her face and said to Qin Feng: "I don't want to know what will happen to others, I just want to know your reaction, Your Highness." ”
"I don't want to," Qin Feng looked coldly at the beautiful woman in red in front of him, the patience that had long been exhausted had disappeared at this moment, "With Xie Ning's crooked beating in Xiao Mansion, the rumors of Yun Zhilou will be self-defeating in a few days." I don't need to mention how important a woman's reputation is, you know it in your own heart. In short, I have said all this, and you should not use such means again. Xiao Yan, don't try to take advantage of it anymore. ”
After listening to Qin Feng's cold words, Gu Qingyun's face suddenly turned white, although he didn't know what to think in his heart, there was no change in his expression, he just stiffened his face, showing a decent smile as usual in front of people, and said word by word: "Qingyun sends His Highness to you." ”
Qin Feng had already walked out at this time, and when he heard this sound, he didn't look back at her, he opened the door by himself, and disappeared around the corner with no trace.
Gu Qingyun stayed alone in the empty private room, looking at the tea and snacks on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Following
The Jingyang Marquis Mansion had already been prepared as early as the beginning of the Mao Dynasty. Xie Ning took Mingshuang and Gu Sui into the carriage, and the one who rode in the same car with her was naturally another cousin of the Hou Mansion - Xia Rouyu.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Xie Ning didn't have a good impression of this Xiang family's maiden descendant, not to mention that the last time the two were in front of the Xiao Mansion banquet, they had an unpleasant episode.
It is difficult to sit with people who are disgusted in my heart, but fortunately, although Fuwei Temple is in the suburbs of Beijing, it only takes about an hour to drive. Therefore, in the face of Xia Rouyu's two or three times of taking the initiative to show goodwill, although Xie Ning felt awkward, he only needed to endure it for a moment.
"Has my cousin ever been to Fuwei Temple before?"
Xia Rouyu's inquiry came again, and out of courtesy, Xie Ning had to withdraw his gaze from the window, and said briefly: "No." The words fell, but her eyes did not stay on Xia Rouyu, and after smirking, she lifted the curtain and looked out again.
She obviously had a perfunctory attitude, and she didn't want Xia Rouyu to be unaware of this. Still speaking to himself: "I have been there as a cousin." ”
Xie Ning's eyelids lifted, and he was really not interested in the other party's meaningless question, so he didn't open his mouth to respond.
Riding in the car, Xie Ning was afraid that the atmosphere would be cold, and as soon as the car was almost quiet, she couldn't help but make a sound, but at this moment, she couldn't wait for the car to be silent all the time during this one-hour trip.
Just after this thought turned in his mind, Xia Rouyu's voice came from Xie Ning's ear again-"My cousin came to Beijing earlier than me. He also made friends with His Royal Highness King An, Miss Gu, the Wei family brothers and sisters, and others. I must have been playing with them a lot before, right? ”
didn't want her to mention these people, Xie Ning wondered in his heart, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xia Rouyu, and frowned slightly: "Who told you." Do I have a good relationship with them? ”
His eyes flashed with humility. Xia Rouyu immediately looked at Xie Ning in surprise. It seems that she never thought that she would ask such a direct question, after a moment of silence. Fang Cai replied, "No one has told me...... My cousin has a meritorious service in training soldiers, and no one in Beijing knows your feat. His Royal Highness King An has entrusted this important task to you...... The two of you must be close. As for Miss Gu and Miss Wei, didn't my cousin still sit with them on the day of the banquet in the Xiao Mansion? ”
She didn't mention Wei Qingyang in her words, but the smile in her eyes was clearly a little ridiculous, which made Xie Ning feel a little bored for no reason.
"Miss Xia's words are wrong," Xie Ning didn't say anything, and Mingshuang, who was sitting at the door, opened his mouth with a smile, "My young lady is just entering Beijing like you. It's a close relationship with a few young ladies.,But it's never close to the point of traveling together.。 As for His Royal Highness King An, he is just appreciating the talent of my young lady. ”
She opened her mouth suddenly, but it was unexpected by Xie Ning and Xia Rouyu. However, with her explanation, Shainin was naturally happy. On the other hand, Xia Rouyu's expression on her face was not so good-looking.
Her face was already thin, but now her lips are pursed, her brows are frowned, and although her expression is clear, it can line her slightly blue face at this time, but it shows a bitter look, which is obviously in a bad mood.
As for the little girl who followed her, she looked even more deflated. However, I don't know if the other party thought of the painful experience of being reprimanded by Mama Qin, but he didn't speak out rashly.
As soon as Mingshuang's words came out, Xie Ning's ears were finally cleared for a moment. However, when she was keenly aware of Xia Rouyu's gaze falling on her, and there was a look on her face that wanted to speak and stopped, she moved her brain, witfully yawned, and spoke first: "Cousin Xia, I was suddenly a little sleepy, so I fell asleep first." If you're bored, talk to Mingshuang and them, I'll be fine. ”
After finishing speaking, Xie Ning leaned towards the cushion behind him, closed his eyes by himself, and didn't care about the other party's look at this time, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
The previous nap was just an excuse, but who knew that Xie Ning sat and really fell asleep. By the time she woke up again, the Jingyang Marquis Mansion had already arrived.
"Miss, Fuwei Temple has arrived."
With the light call of Mingshuang in her ears, Xie Ning woke up from her deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she met the Jinpa she was holding.
"Oh," Xie Ning touched the corners of her mouth with hindsight, and seeing Mingshuang's white fingers approaching little by little, she moved very quickly to snatch the Jinpa from the other party's hand, and said in a slightly eager voice: "I'll come by myself." ”
After all, it was her own saliva, and she wanted others to wipe it, and Xie Ning was still a little uncomfortable in her heart. What's more, over the years, she has long been accustomed to doing everything herself, and no matter how thoughtful Mingshuang is, I'm afraid that she will be spoiled by the other party.
Xie Ning wiped the corners of his mouth, then took Mingshuang's handkerchief into his arms, searched around, and then made up his mind for a moment, and asked casually: "What about Cousin Xia?" ”
"Miss Xia has already taken the maid down first," Mingshuang saw that she didn't want to show her embarrassment in front of the master and servant, so she couldn't help but smile, but she only said casually: "Gu Sui has also arrived, can Miss get off?" ”
"Hmm." Xie Ning nodded, tidied up his appearance, and walked towards the Fuwei Temple.
Although everyone arrived almost at the same time, at this moment, there was only one master outside the Fuwei Temple. The old lady Liu had already walked in first accompanied by the Xiang family and the He family, and the sisters Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan would not wait for anyone, and as for Xia Rouyu, she also got out of the carriage long before Xie Ning woke up.
Maybe they came out a little late, and there was no little novice at the temple gate to greet them, Xie Ning saw Xia Rouyu's figure in front of him, so he reached out and pulled Mingshuang beside him, signaling her and Gu Sui to follow each other's direction.
The distance between Xia Rouyu and their party was not too far, Xie Ning only took two quick steps before she could follow the other party, but she did not speed up her pace, but always kept a distance not far from them, all the way around the two temples in the temple, and walked to the guest room in the east courtyard.
Fuwei Temple is not a very famous temple in the capital, there are few people, but it is better in a quiet environment, Xie Ning walked all the way, but did not meet many pilgrims. In the entire east courtyard, it seems that only their Jingyang Marquis Mansion lives in the line.
The east courtyard was divided into two entrances, and when Xie Ning walked in, he was called by a little novice who was sweeping the floor - "Amitabha." ”
Xie Ning reacted very quickly and looked at the sound, but saw that the gray-clothed novice with shining eyes put the broom in his hand aside, put his hands together, and saluted Xie Ning and the others in place, and then walked up and said a little eagerly: "The little monk has seen your donors, I don't know what the little monk can do for your donors?" ”
This little novice is only about ten years old, not as tall as Xie Ning, although his head has been burned with ring scars, but his behavior is not as steady as ordinary outsiders, but with some childishness, very pleasing.
Xie Ning couldn't help laughing, nodded and responded: "We are the ladies of the Marquis of Jingyang, I wonder if the little master can lead us to the guest room?" ”
"It turned out to be the female dependant of the Marquis of Jingyang, disrespectful and disrespectful," Xiao Shami looked at Xie Ning clearly, and then saluted again, pretending to be an old man: "Please also ask the donors to come with the little monk." ”
Xie Ning couldn't hold back a smile, then walked forward, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Sui who was walking beside her, and was not surprised to find that the other party was the same as her, and he was almost about to laugh.
This little novice has a pair of big eyes, his appearance is already very pleasing, and his temperament is also rare and lively, but he has to pretend to be steady, which is really eccentric and cute.
But when the other party stopped and looked back, Xie Ning reacted very quickly and adjusted the expression on his face, and looked at the other party with a straight face.
"Donor, this is the accommodation that our Fuwei Temple has arranged for your mansion. However, in this small courtyard, it is divided into east and west. The donor went to check it out on his own. (To be continued.) )
