Chapter 155: It couldn't be better
"It's not that I care about this," Shainin's reluctant smile was very bitter, "It's just that the door is not there, and I can't ignore it." Wei Qingyang is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and he will have a title to inherit in the future. And I'm just an ordinary woman, and I don't ask for much. ”
A lantern above his head was blown out, and the cold moonlight hit Qin Feng's face, but Xie Ning couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have an intention to settle down in Beijing." Although the Mansion is noble, it can protect you. They don't care, so why should you worry about this little difference? ”
What Qin Feng said did have some truth, but on this lifelong matter, Xie Ning did not dare to ignore it, "I am not a noble girl from a famous family, even if I learn the rules and understand the etiquette, it is difficult for me to do those virtuous and virtuous things." The world is so big, I don't want to trap myself in one house and one yard. No matter how much the Duke of Wei likes me, he will probably not let me do what I want. ”
"Speaking of doing whatever you want, how many people in the world can do it?" Qin Feng suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the sigh that followed, not so much to comfort Xie Ning, was more like self-pity and sighing.
Xie Ning nodded in agreement, but the bright color in his eyes was not diminished, he raised his eyes to look at Qin Feng, and said in a firm tone: "This matter is indeed what I forced." can talk to Wei Qingyang, I don't know how many people can't ask for it. I'm lucky enough to be here to pick and choose. ”
His gaze swept over the corner of her mouth with a wry smile, Qin Feng's eyes darkened, but he only pretended to be ordinary on his face: "Actually, these are not important, what you really have to consider is just Wei Qingyang." If he is the right person in your mind, then nothing else will hinder him. ”
Shainin's voice became more and more solemn. "You're right. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wei Qingyang, but I always feel that something is missing, so I hesitate and can't step this hurdle. ”
What's missing?
Qin Feng didn't say anything, but at this time, his ink-like black eyes really revealed the same meaning as Xie Ning thought in his heart.
"Personable, dignified, regardless of family background or character, Wei Qingyang can be called a leader in a million," Xie Ning's tone hesitated from the beginning. It gradually calmed down. "What's more, he doesn't even care about me offending King Xuan. The elders in the family are also happy to see it. Where is the need for me to refuse? ”
Qin Feng's steps moved, and his entire face happened to be in the darkness. Looking at the past from Shainin's perspective, only a shadow could be seen. But they couldn't see each other's expressions at all.
"It's best if you think like that." The familiar voice is gentle and powerful. The words seemed to be comforted regularly, and they patted Xie Ning's heart one by one, "This family business is indeed very good for you." The population of the Duke of Wei is simple. There wasn't much entertainment in the past, and you have always been good friends with Miss Wei, so they won't be embarrassed by you when you think about it. ”
Except for Mrs. Wei, the ladies of the Guogong Mansion are all soft-natured. Xie Ning nodded thoughtfully, seeing that Qin Feng's words were full of approval of this family matter, his heart was even more relieved.
Finally unloading the boulder that had been pressing on his body for several days, Xie Ning suddenly relaxed, pursed his lips, and joked: "The Duke of Wei has guarded the border for generations. If I respond to this matter, maybe I can go to the border in the future to show my strength and defend my family and country. ”
"Heh," Qin Feng landed with a short chuckle, followed by a series of sounds that had not been heard for a long time, "cough, cough, cough—"
Xie Ning suddenly lost color, subconsciously stepped forward, and was about to reach out to support Qin Feng, but was blocked back by the other party with his uninjured left arm.
"Brother Ziyue, hasn't this cough been cured by Miss Xu? How can it be ...... now" Without exerting his strength to break the other party's arm, Xie Ning's movements stopped, and his face was full of doubts.
"Cough," Qin Feng coughed lightly again, but his face was still hidden in the dark and could not be seen, but as soon as he spoke, he was naturally convincing, "Maybe it's been blowing outside for a long time." It's been a bumpy ride today, and I'm really tired. ”
Standing opposite to each other, even though there was only less than two feet between the two, Xie Ning could only find a rough outline of the other party in his eyes. Barely recognising Qin Feng's movement of raising his hand to support his forehead at this time, Xie Ning frowned, and immediately said urgently: "Then let's not stay here." Brother Ziyue, hurry up and go to the house. ”
"Okay," Qin Feng responded softly, then raised his feet forward, and didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't take a long step before he paused, turned his head and said to Xie Ning: "I almost forgot, the banquet in the palace is almost over, presumably everyone in the Hou Mansion will also go back to the house, you go back first." ”
"It's okay," Xie Ning nodded, and heard Qin Feng call out loud: "No trace." ”
After a while, no trace teleported from the eaves. Xie Ning walked out in the opposite direction knowingly, and glanced back, but only saw a slightly clear back, accompanied by a breeze on a moonlit night, and the sleeves of his clothes moved lightly while walking, but in a moment, he had disappeared at the corner of the corridor.
***
It is in front of the palace of Ye'an
After sending Xie Ning, he drove back from the Jingyang Marquis Mansion without a trace. I heard him snort softly, and before the carriage could come to a stop, a man stumbled over.
Suddenly frightened, the red horse in front of the car immediately raised its hooves. Traceless's eyes narrowed, and he tightened the reins with one hand, while the other hand quickly picked up the lantern hanging on the side of the car door and shone it at the uninvited guest who was blocking the way.
"Ouch, I haven't seen you for a long time, why can't you even recognize me?"
After hearing this cry mixed with complaints, Wuxian did not rush to put down the lantern in his hand, but snorted coldly, and after stopping the carriage, he jumped in front of the arrival, and said expressionlessly: "It turned out to be Xiao Gongzi." I don't know without a trace, I am rude for a while, Xiao Gongzi don't mind. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan leaned over and stared at him with great certainty: "You did it on purpose, where did I provoke you?" ”
Without a trace glanced at him, and opened his mouth coldly, but he asked rhetorically: "It's late at night, I don't know what Xiao Gongzi is here, why is it expensive?" ”
"What kind of politeness are you pretending to be with me," Xiao Yan's face became more and more suspicious. Seeing that he was about to leave, he also chased after him, and while crossing the threshold of King An's Mansion, he asked, "What's wrong with you today?" ”
"I'm in a bad mood." Without a trace, he didn't stop walking, he didn't look at Xiao Yan, and only spit out these four short words from his mouth.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "Feeling bad? When did you learn to be in a bad mood? I don't know why? Xu felt funny, and the corners of his mouth hooked. But it didn't take long for the gloating smile on his face to freeze in an instant.
"That's not right!" Xiao Yan stopped in place and said abruptly at the traceless back: "You are in a bad mood." Won't it be because your master is in a bad mood? ”
There was silence all around. Only the traceless figure leaked a little mystery. Xiao Yan frowned, and immediately rushed forward with an arrow, complaining extremely dissatisfied: "I'll just say what trick are you playing?" It turned out that he wanted to capture the old man, and he wanted to trick me into touching Qin Feng's moldy head! You are a faithful servant. We should also learn to share the worries of our masters. What kind of skill do you have to come to design me whenever something happens? ”
Stop without a trace. Silently waiting for him to catch up, then he said loudly: "You bumped into it yourself this time." ”
Xiao Yan just vented a few words casually, but he didn't expect that Wuxian would really respond. Suddenly snorted slightly, and after a while, he put away the emotions on his face, and explored with a straight face: "Hasn't he already achieved his goal by returning ahead of schedule today?" He also lifted Shainin to a high place, why was he in a bad mood? ”
"It's a private matter of the prince, and it's inconvenient for me to answer." Wuxian walked to Qiuhua Garden first, turned his head to look at Xiao Yan behind him, although his face was still faint, but there was a rare hesitation in his voice, "The prince is in the room at this time, you can ask yourself." ”
"It seems like a tricky thing." Xiao Yan muttered thoughtfully, walked through the corridor, and walked to Qin Feng's bedroom.
"Knock knock," Xiao Yan deliberately lowered the knock on the door, and after a pause, he raised his voice towards the room: "Ziyue, it's me, Xiao Yan." Hurry up and let me in. ”
Qin Feng's response came from inside, "The door is not locked. ”
But listening to the sound, I didn't hear anything unusual. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and then pushed the door in. As far as the eye can see, there is a bright lamp and candle, and the bedroom is as clean and elegant as ever, and there is no trace of the fact that the owner of this palace has been out for many days.
Xiao Yan searched around, but he didn't see Qin Feng's figure. If it weren't for Fang Cai's own ears to hear the other party's voice, I am afraid that he would think that he was deceiving without a trace at this time.
Could it be ...... Xiao Yan's mind moved, and immediately walked towards the inner room, and after bypassing the two screens, Xiao Yan pushed open the pineapple wooden door, but it was only pitch black in front of him.
"Ziyue?" Xiao Yan called tentatively.
"Hmm."
Hearing this familiar male voice, Xiao Yan was convinced that the other party was in it, so he turned around and took two lanterns from the case, looked at Qin Feng's figure leaning on the couch, and shook his head helplessly: "Last time, I was drunk in the soft red building, but this time it is even more strange, I actually stayed in the room alone in the dark." Qin Ziyue, what's wrong with you lately? ”
After a long silence, Xiao Yan was a little uncertain for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked tentatively, "You won't be crying, right?" ”
Qin Feng turned his head, but there was a cold color in his eyes, "Naturally not." ”
"Hehe," Xiao Yan laughed twice and said reluctantly, "That's fine." ”
"It's a coincidence that you're here," Qin Feng sat up from the couch, leaving a place for Xiao Yan, and said in a flat voice, "I just have something to ask you." ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and after touching Qin Feng's sight on the opposite side, he coughed lightly twice unnaturally, sat down beside him, restrained the curiosity in his heart, and pretended to be serious: "You ask, you ask." ”
"Xie Ning is going to marry Wei Qingyang, you say, should I let go?"
I didn't care to look at Qin Feng's expression at this time, Xiao Yan's mind was already occupied by this shocking news at this time, I saw his eyes widen, and he asked in a loud voice, "When did this happen?" How could the Duke of Wei agree. ”
Qin Feng looked sideways at him, his eyes didn't reveal too much emotion, "I also got the news in the past two days." ”
"That's why you disrupted your original plan and came back early, didn't you?" A sudden look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but an unconscious green tendon burst out on his forehead, "Do you know how dangerous it is to act like this?" Regardless of whether you are injured or not, and there are many inappropriateness to run around for days, do you know how much sweat I have pinched for you in the hall today? How dare you ask for credit for Xie Ning in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces? ”
Xiao Yan paused, suddenly stood up excitedly, looked at him condescendingly and said: "If it weren't for the emperor's refusal to hold you accountable for your meritorious work in suppressing bandits, I'm afraid that you would not be able to escape the charge of transferring troops without authorization!" ”
Compared with Xiao Yan's excitement, Qin Feng's face was still calm, and he only listened to him explain lightly: "At the beginning, I asked my father for a decree in private, and he personally agreed to the transfer of troops. If I can wipe out the Yandi bandits, he won't be held accountable in front of people. Xiao Shangshu knew about this, so he would hand over the three hundred recruits to you. ”
Who expected Xiao Yan to hear this, but he glanced over slightly, sneered and said, "The answer is not what you asked, who wants to know about him?" Join forces to hide me in the dark, and the two of you are really embarrassed. ”
Qin Feng's face showed a little tiredness, but his voice was still steady, "Who Lord Xiao is loyal to, you should know better than me." It is true that I have something to hide from the original incident, but you have always been happy, and if you tell you, it is hard to guarantee that people will not see any clues, but it is not beautiful. ”
"That's it," Xiao Yan waved his hand impatiently, and changed the subject: "What is going on with Xie Ning?" Didn't you ask her what she meant when you hurried back? Maybe she is reluctant to do this family business?"
Qin Feng glanced at him, and there was a gleam in his eyes, but he said slowly, "You also know the situation of the Wei State Mansion, when I first heard about this, I was inevitably a little concerned, and it was indeed an impulsive move to return early." But the matter has come to this, and I have no choice but to do nothing, and simply coax her into the palace. One is to correct her name in front of others, and the other is to take this opportunity to test the Wei Mansion. But who knows......"
Xiao Yan suddenly realized, "They don't care about Xie Ning's limelight?" ”
"That's right," Qin Feng nodded with a complicated expression, even though he was in turmoil at this time, he still said in a deep voice: "A-Ning told me personally that Wei Qingyang doesn't mind this matter. ”
"Then this is strange," Xiao Yan frowned unconsciously, "The Duke of Wei Mansion is also a big family, for no reason, how can he take a fancy to Xie Ning, the daughter of a five-rank general?" ”
"Naturally, there is a reason," Qin Feng's eyes closed, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear again, "Wei Qingyang should also be fond of her." (To be continued.) )
