Chapter 121: King Ning's Invitation
"Miss, Escort Zhao is coming to us."
Yan Xiaoyue heard Jin Qiao's voice and looked at it, it was not him, Zhao Cheng beside King Ning. After looking around, I didn't see King Ning's figure, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Cheng quickly approached Yan Xiaoyue, with a bitter face, "Miss Yan, I can be regarded as finding you, quick, follow me to extinguish the fire." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Yan Xiaoyue's arm, Xiaoyue took a wrong step and got out of the way, Jin Qiao stepped forward to block Zhao Cheng's hand, "Zhao Guard, what are you trying to do?" ”
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and slapped his forehead hard, "Oh, look at what I do roughly, Miss Yan, don't take it to heart, I'm in a hurry, but I didn't mean to surprise you!" Thinking that if he let his master know that he was disrespectful to Miss Yan, the consequences would be ......, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but shudder and apologized in fear.
"Forget it, I didn't mean to come to Escort Zhao, it's just this time, if you dare to do this next time, don't blame me for offending." Yan Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Cheng's face with satisfaction before continuing to ask, "You are looking for me in a panic, but is there something?" ”
"The master is waiting for you on the first floor, please come with me."
Yan Xiaoyue thought for a moment, "Escort Zhao will go first, and I will arrive later." ”
Zhao Cheng was stunned, "Let's go together, let's go to Mu Mansion soon, I've already been to Mu Mansion, and I asked before I came here to pick you up, I'm afraid the master has been waiting for a long time!" ”
Yan Xiaoyue explained helplessly: "Do you think it's okay for me to follow you as a foreign man to swagger through the market?" Involuntarily, Yan Xiaoyue thought of Jiang Siyan, if he knew that he was going to see a man, he would be angry.
Zhao Cheng let out an "oh" at this time, scratching his head embarrassedly, "Then you move quickly, the master is waiting for you on the third floor." After saying that, he hurried back to his life.
Jin Ling stepped forward and shouted worriedly: "Miss......"
Yan Xiaoyue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Let's go, you will go in with me later." Look at the way I look. ”
On the first floor, Zhao Cheng respectfully welcomed Yan Xiaoyue into the private room. Qi Anning sat there in a purple robe, staring at the desk, and brewing tea in an elegant posture.
"Yueniang has seen the prince!" Yan Xiaoyue stepped forward and saluted first.
"Sit." King Ning didn't raise his eyelids. It seems that the biggest thing in the world is the tea cup in front of you.
Yan Xiaoyue moved the lotus step lightly, sat opposite King Ning, and watched quietly.
It wasn't until King Ning pushed the teacup in front of her that he took it with thanks and took off the veil. After tasting it in small bites, it is bitter in the mouth, and it is close to the throat.
Kuding tea, Yan Xiaoyue frowned, swallowed it slowly, put down the teacup, and stopped drinking.
Qi Anning tasted it slowly and leisurely, as if he was holding a peerless tea in his hand, and he didn't put it down until he had three lamps.
"What? This tea is not to the taste of Yueniang? ”
Yan Xiaoyue helped the hairpin. "I don't like bitterness."
"If you don't taste bitterness, how can you experience the sweetness after bitterness?"
"But if the taste buds are spoiled by bitterness, how can you taste sweetness?" Yan Xiaoyue replied with a smile, her eyes staring at the teapot.
Qi An'an looked at Yan Xiaoyue steadily, "Is it okay for the Jiang family?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue waited for a while before she said softly, "At least for now, it is the most suitable." ”
Qi Anning wondered: "Suitable?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, he is the most suitable at the moment." ”
"You ......, what do you mean by suitability?"
Yan Xiaoyue raised her head and looked at Qi Anning fixedly, and said softly, "Freedom." ”
Jiang Siyan's question that day echoed in his ears. "Don't you want to go out and visit the great mountains and rivers? Don't want to see the desert sand? Don't want to go to the prairie to ride a horse? Don't want to go out to sea along the river to watch the sunrise? Don't want to climb up and watch the sunset? She thought about it, and even more than that, she wanted more and more, and touched the black mole in her palm. There was an origami book with her thoughts and his promises.
Qi Anning was silent, he could give her everything, but he couldn't give her freedom alone. He can't even be free, so how can he give it to her? "Except for freedom?" After all, don't give up. He still asked.
Yan Xiaoyue looked at the man in front of her, he had a noble identity, a handsome appearance, and a cold personality, she was indeed a little moved by him, these were all things that Xiaoyue could not deny, she even hesitated and wandered for a while.
But after all, she was defeated by reality, she couldn't just be a vase, just waiting for a man's occasional care. She doesn't have so many feelings to fill a man's backyard, she is afraid that she will become unrecognizable and ruined in the backyard of the deep palace, so she will come out of her head under hard pressure, go to Huguo Temple to accompany Xiaoxiao, calm herself, and force herself to face reality.
Yan Xiaoyue took out Jiang Siyan's book of harmony from the space while looking through her purse, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it over.
Qi Anning took a look, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yue incredulously, "This is what you requested?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, to be honest, she didn't expect Jiang Siyan to really agree like this, saying that it was impossible not to touch.
Qi Anning lowered his eyes, his heart was shocked, Jiang Siyan, the eldest grandson of the family, has elegance and arrogance, but he can write such an unseemly and disregard for human ethics, he can't do it, and he can't do it.
"Everyone has their own way of life, and what I want is freedom and equality. Maybe it makes people feel crazy to say it, but I often wonder why men can do nothing, while we women can only guard the boxy backyard, watching our father-in-law carry one today and accept one tomorrow, lingering in many delicate flowers, but he is worn out alive, and there is no time to wait. ”
Although Yan Xiaoyue has no personal experience, she can speak in such a soft voice, revealing an indescribable coldness, "I can't do it, and I won't do it, what men can do, we women can do the same, men make money to support their families, but I don't know that some women's families are even better at managing the country, men govern the country and the people, and if there is a stage, women can also do it." ”
Qi Anning was even more shocked when she heard these words than the paper book she had just seen, how could she have such a shocking idea?
Yan Xiaoyue looked at King Ning's expression, and couldn't help laughing, this was the first time she had seen the cold-faced prince break the gong, "Scared, right?" Hehe, rest assured, I don't have such big ambitions, I just want to live in peace, I treat him wholeheartedly, and naturally I hope that he can also treat me wholeheartedly, if you can't do it, then there is no need to force it, just be fine. ”
"Where did you get these ideas?"
"What you see, what you hear. There is a small island in the South Seas, the scenery on the island is extremely beautiful, the people live richly, there is a country of Jaga, the queen has ruled for generations, and there are half of the female officials in the court, and most of the ordinary people are headed by women, and the richer family can also serve the husband, as far as I know, the Jurchen lord has a husband and three kings, do you say that this place is not a paradise for women? ”
Qi Anning's brows furrowed tightly, looking at the woman opposite and talking about a woman with a high spirit, there was a sense of envy in her expression, she couldn't help but have a headache, how dare she have such a bold idea, but she couldn't help but be attracted to her, such a fresh person, how could she bear to be killed by the rules of the backyard?
I can't imagine what a pity it would be if such a pair of beautiful and charming eyes lost their brilliance. If she could keep doing this, would he be able to let go and stand in the distance and watch her happiness? It's just that the thought that she will belong to another man in the future can't help but twitch in my heart, as if I have been cut by a knife. (To be continued.) )
