043 Bamboo Forest Buddha Hall

87_87886When Emperor Zhengde faced Rong Jing, the solemnity on his face became a little colder.

"Thirteen princes, it's rare that you will be willing to come to the palace for a banquet."

Rong Jing replied lazily: "His Majesty Emperor Zhou warmly invited, how dare Rong Jing not come, but Rong Jing didn't say hello to His Majesty, so he brought his friends into the palace, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame." ”

Emperor Zhengde laughed when he heard this, when his eyes fell on Xue Rou beside Rong Jing, he saw that the gentle young man was looking up at him, and his clear eyes as clear as water vaguely made him feel as if he had seen it somewhere, Emperor Zhengde couldn't help frowning, just now this person did not salute him, and at this time he looked at him so rudely, he couldn't help asking: "Are you?" ”

"In Xia Ning Ziqing, I have seen His Majesty Emperor Zhou." Seeing this, Xue Rou replied, without much respect on her face.

Surname Ning?

Emperor Zhengde's eyes flashed, he didn't know what he thought, he faintly retracted his gaze and said: "Today's banquet is already a lively event, even if it is a friend of the thirteenth prince, it is naturally okay, so you can go and sit down." ”

"Thank you."

Rong Jing thanked him and turned to leave, and Xue Rou followed closely behind him.

After sitting down on the seat on one side, Xue Rou's face was the same, but her hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves, her body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and memories of a long, long time ago seemed to have been forgotten by her in her mind.

……

"Ah Wan, you see this little rabbit is not cute, this is given to me by my father, there is a pair, I will give you one, okay, we will raise it together in the future."

"Ah Wan, look, this is the splendid lotus paste cake I made, it's really delicious, I learned it from Mama Feng, don't you believe me, taste one first...... Ah, bah, how is it bitter, oops, I mistook salt for sugar......"

"Ah Wan, I secretly told you that I fell in love with someone, he was handsome and funny, and he was so considerate, and he also told me that he would come to the house in a few days to ask to marry me, but Ah Wan, my heart is beating so fast, I really want to marry him right away."

……

Xue Rou's palms were clenched tightly, her nails were sunk into her palms, but she didn't feel the slightest pain.

Why, why was the Xue Mansion destroyed, but she was still alive?

Why did she marry Emperor Zhengde?

Rong Jing was originally leaning on the couch, but the tip of his nose suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and when he looked down at Xue Rou, he found that she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ziqing?" Rong Jing exclaimed.

Xue Rou raised her head slowly, her eyes were clear, but her expression was a little complicated.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just remembering something from the past." Xue Rou lowered her eyes and asked casually, "Thirteenth Prince, do you know about the queen's mother?" ”

"Queen?" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows, he thought for a while before he said: "This Queen Zhou's surname is Yi, it is said that she used to be the daughter of a small official, and she met when Emperor Zhengde was still a prince, Ben Gongzi has been here for three years, and he has never seen him. ”

"Zhongzhou......" Xue Rou's eyes flashed with some inexplicable meaning.

Seeing this, Rong Jing got closer curiously, but her eyes fell on her palm, "Why is Ziqing suddenly interested in the queen?" ”

"No, I'm just curious." Xue Rou said lightly.

"Really?"

"Then what do you think?"

Xue Rou glanced at Rong Jing, only to suddenly find that he was sitting too close to her, and at this time she was almost face to face with her, and she couldn't help but slap Rong Jing on the face through her sleeve, pushing him away.

Rong Jing smelled a faint smell of blood as her hand approached.

His eyes flashed, and the next moment he leaned in again and whispered: "Ziqing, this banquet is boring, otherwise how about this son take you around the palace?" ”

"Can I go?"

"Why not, there is no place in this palace that you can't go to except for the Taixuan Palace, the Chao Terrace and the East and West Six Palaces."

There is a royal study in the Taixuan Palace, which is the place where Emperor Zhengde and the ministers discuss, and the terrace is where he sleeps every day, and the six palaces in the east and west refer to the palaces where the queen and concubines live, these places are forbidden places in the palace, and outsiders are not allowed to step into them, but other places are not difficult for Rong Jing to visit.

In order to show his tolerance for him, Emperor Zhengde allowed him to enter and leave the palace without notifying, without a waist card, and naturally he would not do anything to him because he visited the garden in the palace.

Xue Rou nodded after thinking about it, she also wanted to see how much had changed here after twenty years.

The two talked in a low voice, plus Rong Jing was used to messing with her on weekdays, and Xue Rou didn't feel anything wrong when she spoke, but their appearance of talking and laughing fell in the eyes of outsiders, and it completely changed.

Rong Jing didn't know what to say, he stared at Xue Rou with a puffed face and resentment, but Xue Rou pushed him away again with a smile, this quite intimate action was placed in the eyes of outsiders, so that the people who had been paying attention to this side couldn't help but gasp, and when they looked at the two of them again, those people looked a little stranger.

The eldest princess of Zhaorong and the county lord of Anding sat not far from the two, and the lord of Anding couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this, but the eldest princess of Zhaorong coughed lightly twice.

"Thirteen princes, His Majesty is still there."

The subconscious meaning is that even if you like this, Ning Ziqing can't be more restrained?

Rong Jing glanced at her, but when she didn't hear it, Xue Rou finally felt that it was inappropriate after feeling the strange gaze of the eldest princess of Zhaorong, and when she looked up, she found that Rong Jing had come to her again at some point.

She pushed him away with black lines on her face, and Rong Jing suddenly pursed her mouth aggrievedly.

"Ziqing~"

The eldest princess of Zhaorong shook her face when she heard the lingering cry, she couldn't bear to look at it directly, and simply turned her head and couldn't see it.

Soon after the banquet began, Emperor Zhengde accompanied everyone to enjoy the singing and dancing, and drank with the ministers, Rong Jing and Xue Rou retreated from one side, Emperor Zhengde glanced at the two, and someone immediately followed.

This palace is no stranger to Xue Rou, and Rong Jing obviously didn't come less, and the two of them walked around the palace with half a bottle of wine.

It wasn't until the night banquet was about to end that the two were about to go back, but who knew that Rong Jing suddenly stopped.

"Hey, there's actually a Buddhist hall here." Rong Jing said strangely.

Xue Rou frowned, this place ...... Originally, it was a black bamboo forest, far away from the palaces and halls, and now it is the middle of the night, and the lights are still on in the Buddhist hall, which is too strange.

She raised her legs and was about to step forward to take a look, who knew that the palace guards who had been following the two of them and letting them go everywhere and had never stopped them suddenly quickly flashed in front of Xue Rou, bowed down to Rong Jing and said: "Thirteen princes, this is a place for His Majesty to meditate on weekdays, and no one is allowed to step into half a step, and the thirteen princes please stop." ”

Xue Rou and Rong Jing raised their eyebrows at the same time, Emperor Zhengde would actually make a small Buddha hall as a place for meditation?

"My son just wants to be quiet." Rong Jing wanted to step forward as he spoke.

The man was in front of Rong Jing in a flash, and the thumb of his right hand had already buckled the scabbard on his waist.

Xue Rou squinted slightly, looking at the faintly scorching lights of the Buddha Hall not far away, what kind of place is this, which actually makes Emperor Zhengde value it so much? And this guard is obviously a person next to Emperor Zhengde, his posture, I am afraid that Rong Jing will take another step forward, so he will not hesitate to use force and not allow people to step into here for half a step, what is in this Buddhist hall, so afraid of being known by outsiders?

She grabbed Rong Jing's arm and dragged him back, "Thirteen princes, we've been out for a long time, let's go back first." ”

Rong Jing pursed his lips, but he didn't force himself in, and after glancing at the guard, Xue Rou returned to the hall, and the guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the back of the two leaving, and followed behind the two of them
