Qi Qingcheng was silent for a moment before he couldn't help but whisper: "I want to know, how did you recognize me?" ”
Even when he looked in the mirror, it was difficult for him to recognize himself. And Shen Rou Ning recognized him in a casual photo.
Shen Rouning's pale cheeks with tears flashed in front of her eyes, and some remembrance and sadness welled up in her heart, and she said softly: "The way you look now is very similar to the last time I saw Sister Qi." ”
Because of the lack of the most critical part of being a man, Qi Chengcheng, who used to have a thick beard and a strong manly atmosphere, has found the remaining traces of his beard on his face at this time, and after having a feminine femininity, of course, it is similar to the face of his twin sister.
Qi Qingcheng's body trembled again, and he closed his eyes as if he was restraining his emotions. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Shen Rouning one last time, and saluted Shen Rouning, "Please remember your promise, Madame." ”
With that, he bowed and retreated, bowing his head and not looking at Shen Rouning again.
Red Tassel stepped closer.
Shen Rouning glanced at Qi Chengcheng again, then turned around and got into the carriage. It didn't take long for the carriage to begin to move slowly, out of the majestic imperial city.
Chen Houyun was waiting for her outside the palace gate.
This made Shen Rouning a little surprised, and she couldn't help asking, "Why are you waiting here?" ”
Chen Houyun boarded the carriage and said with a smile: "The Hanlin Academy is not far from here. I figured that you should come out too, so I walked over to take a few looks, and took a walk after dinner. If I can't wait, I'll go back to work. But now it's your wait...... Go down in advance. I believe that adults will not reprimand me for this little mistake. ”
"My cousin is really." Shen Rouning could understand the hidden concern under Chen Houyun's relaxed words, and muttered: "With Mingjia here, what do you need to worry about there." ”
"I'm not worried." Chen Houyun lightly touched the tip of Shen Rouning's nose, felt the fine dampness on it, and endless tenderness welled up in his heart, and said, "I just suddenly want to see Ah Ning." ”
Shen Rouning was moved, slowly leaned into Chen Houyun's arms, and said, "Cousin, I'll squint for a while." ”
Qi Qingcheng and Qi Yuanyuan's appearance was still flickering in front of them, and they saw Chen Houyun again. Shen Rouning couldn't help but feel tired at this time. closed her eyes in the crook of Chen Houyun's arm, not wanting him to see the gloom in her heart.
Qi Tilting City...... Let's just assume that you don't recognize it.
From Shen Rouning's standpoint, she couldn't sympathize with Qi Qingcheng, because his father and mother had an abnormal desire to kill her and put it into action. It almost worked. And because of Qi Yuanyuan and Qi Chengcheng himself. Shen Rouning couldn't hold any hatred for Qi Chengcheng, who was supposed to be an enemy of the opposite.
Just like Qi Qingcheng couldn't hate her in his heart.
Even if. The entire Pingwu Houfu, which has fallen into today's world, does have a slight relationship with Shen Rouning.
This feeling. It's sad.
Fortunately, the people around her make her feel down-to-earth and at ease. Shen Rouning slowly cleared all these feelings out of her mind, calmed her mind, and slowly fell asleep in the smooth and even shaking of the carriage.
Back at Chen's Mansion, Shen Rouning came to her senses, briefly told Mrs. Chen about her walking in the palace, and returned to Bixin Courtyard. It was still early, and Chen Houyun went to the front yard.
Shen Rouning sat in front of the easel and was silent for a long time, holding a charcoal pen and drawing on the paper for a long time, and then staring quietly for a long time before sighing, taking the piece of paper off the easel and throwing it into the furnace. The flames quickly engulfed the paper, and the images of the brother and sister on the screen seemed to come to life for a moment, smiling at Shen Rou through the warm flames.
Gradually, it turned to ashes.
……
Chen Houji and Lord Mingjia did not return to Chen's mansion from the palace until it was getting late. The two of them sent the child back to Mingguang Courtyard, and after explaining to Mrs. Chen, they came to Bixin Courtyard hand in hand to find Shen Rouning.
"The mother agreed." Lord Mingjia smiled, and immediately told Shen Rouning the good news, and said: "Before leaving, her old man clearly told the emperor that she would reward Princess Rouya with a mansion located on Jinxiu Street under her old man's name, so that the emperor remembered to coordinate the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Internal Affairs, and quickly renovated the princess's mansion, so that the two mothers of Qinglan could accompany Princess Rouya to live in. ”
"The queen mother is urging urgently, it is estimated that after the Shangyuan Festival, the princess's mansion will be able to move in."
For Shen Rouning to complete what she wanted, Lord Mingjia was very happy.
Shen Rouning was very pleasantly surprised and said, "It's really good! Mingjia, thank you! ”
"This is what my sister-in-law deserves." Lord Mingjia hurriedly said: "After the sister-in-law left, the imperial grandmother looked at the portrait of the first emperor and cried bitterly, but she cried the depression and sorrow in her heart, and after the mood stabilized, her body and spirit were much better all of a sudden. Otherwise, when her old man saw the emperor, she didn't know how to scold her. ”
Lord Mingjia said: "When I took advantage of the emperor's worship to the first emperor, I told the emperor about the merits of your portrait sister-in-law...... The emperor also expressed his gratitude and said that he would personally inquire about the construction of the princess's mansion. ”
Shen Rouning smiled and said, "That's great." ”
……
Palace.
The setting sun gilded the entire court with a golden light.
Emperor Qingping walked out of the gate of Cining Palace, stared at the splendor in front of him, slowly exhaled a breath, and said coldly to the queen mother who accompanied him: "You go back first, I want to take a walk." ”
The queen's pretty face was a little ugly, and she said in a low voice: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”
"I'm not interesting." Emperor Qingping looked at the empress, his eyes were faintly annoyed, and he asked rhetorically: "What does the empress mean by wanting me?" ”
He already knew that that night, it was the queen who ran to Cining Palace to report the news, making him lose a big ugly face in front of the imperial grandmother! It's just enjoying a woman who once belonged to her father! And what all the fuss about! Can she still threaten her status as queen!
And the queen is going to be interested in him!
It also made him lose face in front of the imperial grandmother and couldn't raise his head!
Listen, today the emperor's grandmother began to praise King An for being more stable than him! You know, this was never possible before!
At this time, the emperor was naturally extremely annoyed with the queen.
The queen mother was angry for a while, bit her lip and argued with the emperor, so she could only bow down and salute, saying, "The concubine will retire first." After saluting, she shook her veil, and walked away quickly.
Seeing this, Emperor Qingping's face was even worse, he snorted coldly, and walked slowly forward. In the distance, the dark red glazed tiles of Ci'an Palace seemed to generate a depressing and oozing blood color in the afterglow of the setting sun. This made Emperor Qingping can't help but have a bad association, his face turned pale, and he walked away from Ci'an Palace quickly and walked into the distance. (To be continued.) )
