Chapter 254
It was getting late, and Mingshuang hurriedly followed Wuxian from the corner trotting over, and Qin Feng asked directly. If you love to play and watch, come to Lewen
Mingshuang didn't care about calming down her rapid breathing, and only stroked her heart with one hand and said, "Miss has been watching chess games last night, and it has already passed the third watch when she falls asleep. ”
Qin Feng frowned without a trace, and then said to Mingshuang: "Next time there is such a thing, Mingshuang, you remember to dissuade one or two on the side, don't let her be so willful again." ”
Mingshuang suddenly put away the smile on her face, looked at Qin Feng with a straight face, and said, "Forgive the slave maid for saying more, the reason why Miss Xie Ning went to bed late is also because the homework you assigned to her is too heavy. ”
Before her words fell, Qin Feng had already raised his eyebrows with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, although the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked, but he was three feet around, but it seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and it was full of coldness.
Even the expressionless Traceless, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but glance at Mingshuang. The latter, however, seemed to be completely unconscious, and his expression was tilted back as usual.
Even if he looked at Qin Feng, he didn't dodge it in the slightest.
Qin Feng, who pursed his lips tightly, had a cold look on his face. But after a while, he suddenly laughed, "Heh, I used to worry that you wouldn't serve her wholeheartedly, but now it seems that I was too worried at the time. ”
"The slave didn't mean to contradict the prince," Mingshuang lowered her eyes respectfully, but she still didn't back down in her words, "I just can't help but say some words of loyalty." At the beginning, the slave was worried that Miss Xie Ning would become the weakness of the prince, and now it is the same. But now you are just pointing her out in the name of preparing for the female officer examination, is there too much to prepare for her? ”
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and his face turned cold again. Mingshuang didn't raise her head, secretly pinched her palms full of sweat, and opened her mouth directly: "Since you can't bear her to be tired, why do you impose those things that have nothing to do with her on her?" The work of suppressing bandits. She doesn't necessarily want to. Princess, how do you make sure she doesn't turn it down? ”
There was a crisp sound of "pop", but it was Qin Feng who crushed the jade pendant tied around his waist.
Mingshuang's heart froze. She immediately raised her head, only to find that Qin Feng, who was standing in front of her, had already taken a few steps back quickly. Only then did he naturally let go of his hand and left all the fragments at his feet.
Glancing at a trace of blood on the white broken jade, Mingshuang only felt shocked, and took out the Jinpa from his body in a panic, losing his sense of proportion in front of people for the first time.
"Lord Wang, you are injured. Let the slave maid bandage it for you. Mingshuang pretended to be calm and walked forward, although she didn't know if the other party would be angry with her, she would inevitably feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
Qin Feng just glanced at her lightly. With his uninjured left hand, he took the handkerchief in her hand and bandaged himself with his own care.
There was no trace of this, but there was no silence as usual. As the henchman who most often followed Qin Feng's side, he naturally knew that Mingshuang was different from Xiao Yan this time, and he touched Qin Feng's reverse scales.
"Lord Wang, the staff in the palace still have something to discuss with you today, let's go back first."
Qin Feng naturally knew the intention of Wuji's words, but he didn't intend to embarrass Mingshuang, so he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he looked at Mingshuang and said, "You're right. Indeed, I have an impure purpose. But after all, I'm teaching her, not harming her. These things, as long as she is in Beijing for a day. It will inevitably be used. Isn't it possible that you are willing to watch her sit alone while she is socializing? ”
Mingshuang's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't want to argue with Qin Feng at this time, but after all, he couldn't speak against his will and agree with what his prince said.
Seeing that she was silent, Qin Feng didn't intend to say anything more to her, but said with a faint expression: "Don't worry, I won't pull out the seedlings to help them grow." Yesterday's homework was over-assigned. I'll keep an eye on it in the future. ”
"Yes." Mingshuang nodded respectfully, and her face was already calm.
Of course, she would not doubt Qin Feng's intentions for Xie Ning. But whether it is from the perspective of the people in King An's mansion, or from the perspective of the personal maid beside Xie Ning. She didn't want either of them to end up together.
She admits that at first she was indeed prejudiced against Shainin. But after so many days of getting along, it is enough to recognize a person's true temperament. Although Xie Ning is not a lady from a famous family, he is much better than those noble ladies who are good at putting on a young lady's posture.
In Mingshuang's opinion, the reason why she can't be with her own prince is precisely because of this. Not to mention that Xie Ning still has a marriage contract on her now, and she doesn't know anything about the prince's intentions at all, but just looking at her not a prominent background, it is really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of the princess.
Xie Ning's temperament, she, the **** girl who is waiting by her side, is the most clear. There is no ambition, and there is no intention to deal with any intrigues, although it seems to be a little hot, but in fact it is very quiet.
Would such a person be willing to get involved in the entanglement of the royal family?
But if the other party refuses the prince's wishes...... She didn't even know whether she would be happy or sad by then.
After all, how much effort the prince has put in for her, as a bystander, what she feels is only a little.
This matter has developed to the point where it is now, and in her eyes, nothing is right. She didn't want to be in a dilemma, and she didn't want to favor anyone in Xie Ning and Qin Feng, but after all, she was soft-spoken, and she couldn't control the prince's mind, so she could only try her best to persuade the other party to make the situation develop in the best direction.
After Mingshuang saw Qin Feng's master and servant out of the martial arts hall, he walked back along the same road, although he was full of hidden thoughts, in front of Xie Ning and the others, he did not reveal anything.
***
Qin Feng woke up the dreamer with a sentence, since he got the guidance of the other party, Xie Ning's chess skills can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, no longer focusing on defense, but both offensive and defensive, and his tricks are also very flexible, sometimes he shakes a shot, and sometimes he smashes Huanglong with momentum.
In this way, when she played against Qin Feng again, she would be able to win one or two games in ten rounds.
However, what made her feel strange was that compared to the chess games that Qin Feng had arranged for her to memorize before, the number of unique books sent to her in the past few days was much less, and there was only one book per day.
There was even another day, Qin Feng actually left a note for her in the book, asking her to read this chess book in two days.
Although the game is indeed more difficult, according to her current level, it is still feasible to read it in one day. Qin Feng arranged it like this. It gave her a lot of time at her disposal.
But she didn't waste her time.
She still understands the truth of drawing inferences from chess games. What's more, now she has made great progress in chess, and she has spare time. In addition to practicing calligraphy, it is to find people in the museum to play games.
It's just a pity. Although there are many soldiers in their Yanwu Pavilion, there are not many who can play chess. Looking around, Xie Ning had no choice but to play against the maids around him.
Gu Sui, like her before, didn't know how to play chess, and Shainin didn't force her. And Xiaoyue Qingliu didn't play against her very seriously, and every time she released water, it was very obvious, and it was very boring to teach Xie Ning.
And so it goes. It's bitter, and every three or five times, he will be pulled by Xie Ning to play.
There's no way, who told Qin Feng to be busy, and he didn't have much time to practice with her. She didn't want to disturb the other party, so she had to trouble the people around her.
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the first day of October, the day of the Hou Mansion's usual family banquet. Because he only needed to stay for one night, Xie Ning handled the affairs of the museum one by one, after lunch. He only took Gu Sui Mingshuang and the two maids back to the Hou Mansion.
Xiang's design assassinated her in Fuwei Temple, and everyone in the Hou Mansion already knew about it, and they didn't pierce the window paper in front of people. In addition to maintaining the apparent peace of the Hou Mansion, it was also because no substantial evidence was found to prove the connection between the Xiang family and this matter.
Such a result was also expected by Shainin. Because she had expected that when she faced Xiang, she would be able to restrain the disgust in her heart and not make the situation too ugly.
But what she didn't know was that no one found evidence that Xiang had assassinated her, but that this person sent human and physical evidence to the Hou Mansion. Liu and Gao Daonian just suppressed the matter.
She didn't know why she was able to get rid of the shackles of the Hou Mansion. lived in the Yan Wu Pavilion, it was the Hou Mansion that wanted to cover up the matter. The result of compromise and concession after discussing with Qin Feng.
After staying in the Hou Mansion for one night, Xie Ning went to Heling Courtyard and Songbai Courtyard to say goodbye on the second day, and then left early with two maids.
After all, there are still many people waiting for her to stretch her muscles and bones at the end of Yan Wu Pavilion.
But who knew that Xie Ning went out, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the traceless waiting outside.
"Miss Xie, the prince ordered me to pick you up." Traceless nodded indifferently at Xie Ning and the others.
is worthy of being a brother-in-law, and he thinks about things too carefully.
Xie Ning secretly praised in his heart, and took the two maids into the carriage. When you arrive at the martial arts hall, you have to rush to the martial arts arena.
I didn't think that she had just jumped out of the carriage, so she received a post from Wei Tingcheng from the concierge last night, which only said that she had been at home recently, and asked Xie Ning to have time to see her.
But where can Xie Ning pull away at the moment, Yan Wuguan is just a beginner, and the affairs are not yet on the right track, so it is time for her to bother to take care of it. Not to mention that she has to deal with the affairs of the martial arts hall during the day, she has to learn chess with Qin Feng in the afternoon.
Xie Ning held the sprinkled gold paper in his hand, and his expression couldn't help but be a little hesitant, secretly thinking about when he could spare time in the past few days.
Seeing this, Mingshuang secretly glanced at Wuji, who immediately realized: "If Miss Xie has something, let's go and get busy first." Leave the matter of the martial arts hall to me. ”
Without a trace, this just solved her predicament at this time. Xie Ning was overjoyed, but he still couldn't help asking, "Are you okay waiting?" ”
"Hmm." Traceless nodded faintly, and didn't say much.
Xie Ning didn't ask much, but just instructed the two of them, "Then please, I'll try to come back in the afternoon." If the matter is not completed, I will order someone to come back and inform me, so as not to let Brother Ziyue run away in vain. ”
Mingshuang nodded, groaned slightly, and said, "Do you want the slave to accompany you?" ”
"No need," Xie Ning thought for a moment, then shook his head and politely rejected Mingshuang's suggestion. After all, Wei Xiaomei's post is not clear, in case the other party is really in a hurry, if she can't come back for a while-Mingshuang stays here, she is more relieved.
So, Xie Ning took the carriage in the hall and went to the Wei State Mansion.
After being introduced into the gazebo in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, Xie Ning knew that Wei Xiaomei came to her door this time, just to talk to her.
"What is my sister busy with these days, I always want to go out with you, but my brother is not in Beijing now, my grandmother is not worried about me going out alone, and I don't know if you have been busy these two days, so I didn't go to look for you rashly." Wei Tingcheng sat beside Xie Ning and poured her a cup of tea affectionately,
Xie Ning stretched out his hand to take the tea cup handed by the other party, and immediately smiled and said, "It's just dealing with the affairs of the martial arts hall." When your brother returns, you will come and see me together." ”
Wei Qingyang is eighteen years old, Xie Ning had heard Wei Xiaomei say before that the Guogong Mansion had already found an errand for him in the early court, and now he was intending to ask him for the position of the prince, no wonder he is now running around every day, so busy that he can't even enter the mansion.
Presumably Wei Xiaomei must have been bored in the past few days.
Xie Ning couldn't help but raise his hand and touched Wei Tingcheng's head, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly waved his hand to the four sides, and after retreating from the maid in the pavilion, he mysteriously leaned towards Xie Ning, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xie, I have something to tell you." ”
Aiming at Wei Xiaomei's reddish ears, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a little curious, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Even though there were only the two of them around, Wei Tingcheng still cautiously raised his eyes and looked around, and then spoke again: "My family intends to marry me." ”
Her voice was extremely low, but Xie Ning's ears were very powerful, and he could hear the words in her words clearly, but the surprise that arose because of this became more and more prosperous.
Although she is also a person with a marriage contract now, Wei Xiaomei is a year younger than her, and she is such a cowardly character, so she should not be so hasty in marrying.
Xie Ning frowned without a trace, but for fear of scaring Wei Xiaomei, he only asked with a normal look on his face, "Is there a candidate?" ”
Wei Tingcheng only thought that she was overly concerned, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with her, his face turned red, and he said in a whisper: "It's my mother's cousin, who often took me to play when I was a child." ”
It turned out to be my cousin.
When Xie Ning heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Then where is his home?" How old is this year? Is your temperament good? Have you seen this lately? ”
When her questioning landed, Wei Qingcheng's expression became more and more embarrassed, and he hung his head shyly, but he avoided answering: "My brother also said that this family business is very good. ”
Wei Xiaomei has always been afraid of life, and if she marries back to the maiden family of the Duchess of Guo, she naturally doesn't have to worry a lot.
It is naturally great that the two families can get close to each other.
Xie Ning nodded thoughtfully, but didn't ask Wei Xiaomei about Xiao Yan for a while, but planned to wait until he saw Wei Qingyang another day, and then ask the other party on the side. (To be continued.) )
