Chapter 40: Ning Xi understood
Seeing that Shan Bing'er had not yet spoken, he fainted, and he hurriedly helped Shan Bing'er back to the wing room and lay down, thinking in his heart that he would delay for a few more days.
And at the gate of the palace at this moment, Li Shimin has already penetrated. Even the bun was knocked off by the heavy rain, and the hair was close to the cheeks, outlining a handsome appearance that was more ecstatic than a woman, but she didn't know that Ruyue was in her dim bedroom, lighting a kerosene lamp, calmly flipping through the thread-bound books, and Donghua walked around with a restless appearance, but she couldn't guess what her master was thinking, and she didn't dare to say anything. had to push the door out, leaving Ruyue alone in the dormitory.
The heavy rain poured down, the two red lanterns outside the palace swayed lonely in the wind, the rain hit the bluestone slab and sent a "crackling" sound, and the doors of each family were closed, as if Li Shimin was the only one left in the world, waiting for the return of his favorite woman.
I don't know when, on the long path, there is a lilac-like woman holding an oil-paper umbrella to walk, the woman is wearing a white and green embroidered long skirt, the fine embroidery from the skirt to the waist, in the tie of a new green embroidered yellow flower belt, a pair of bright yellow peach lilac embroidered shoes, silky black hair soft to the waist, simply like a beautiful woman.
The eldest grandson, Ning Xi, pushed the umbrella to the top of Li Shimin's head, her body was extremely thin in the wind, and she said softly: "Second son, go back with Ning Er!" β
Li Shimin showed a miserable white face, and he asked her with a smile: "If the man the girl likes is at the other end of the door, will the girl leave?" β
"The flowing water is ruthless and intentionally falling, if she is really the woman on the tip of the child's heart, it is better to let her live happily and freely." The eldest grandson Ning Xi has seen Ruyue many times, and the princess from this palace either has a bleak face or rolls her eyes at Li Shimin, but the smile on the corner of her mouth is very obvious, and she can't guess the woman's mind, but even if the second son is so aggrieved and pleading, he refuses to come out to see him, why is he persistent-" I know that there is a person in her heart-" Li Shimin muttered, "But Shimin really wants to ask the last sentence, if it was me who met Lu from the beginning, would it be different-" The voice did not fall, Li Shimin's eyes were black, and he fell in the heavy rain.
"Princess!" Donghua hurriedly ran in and pushed the door open, "The second son fainted outside the door!" β
With a "pop-" sound, the thread-bound book in Ruyue's hand was broken and scattered all over the ground, she didn't care to pick it up, she held up the umbrella and lifted the corner of her skirt and was about to break out of the door, but she was stopped by Donghua's next sentence: "The eldest grandson girl is in a hurry!" β
Donghua knew that she had said the wrong thing, and her voice became quieter and quieter.
Ruyue turned around, slowly walked to the ground, and picked up the scattered books. Silent.
"Princessβ" Donghua said with some uneasiness.
"The second son is so blessed, and the women around him are more infatuated than the other." Ruyue spoke, her tone couldn't tell the difference between joy and sorrow, "In the end, it's an acquaintance, and it's abrupt to fall ill outside the palace, find a few people to send them back, and tell them by the way that the two of you are not welcome here." β
Donghua was stunned for a moment, and then had to lean over and salute: "The slave will arrange it." β
In the Zhonghua Palace, Yang Guang was lying on the dragon chair obliquely, accustomed to the days of drunken life and dreaming of death, but he was not used to summoning courtiers.
He said lazily: "Does General Yuwen know the purpose of my summoning the general this time?" β
Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't even understand that Yang Guang's knowledge, talent, planning, and leadership ability must be excellent, how could he not understand the truth of sitting on the mountain and eating the empty water? He seemed to be watching his country perish bit by bit, not only was he not in a hurry, but he was content. This realization made Yuwen Chengdu shudder.
"I don't know."
"I'm afraid that my imperial sister still knows about the death of the queen mother and Lanling." Yang Guang's tone was slow, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's too late to go back to Chang'an to reason with me." Even if you are in a hurry, you can come back, how to follow her happiness. Go and escort her back to Chang'an. β
Yuwen Chengdu received the will, and asked the head of the Buddha to kneel down, but was stopped by Yang Guang: "Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses are also jealous, I am afraid that the picture is not entirely sincere, but has another intention, if it is not afraid of being calculated, but let the heart be too tired, the general must not pay attention to rest." β
The idea in Yuwen Chengdu's heart that Yang Guang knew everything slowly rose again, and before he could begin to explain, Yang Guang beckoned: "Jiangshan is still a beauty, I envy those who still have choices, I'm tired, kneel down!" β
Yuwen Chengdu nodded, suppressed the uneasiness that was slowly expanding in his heart, and bowed and walked out.
On the second day, early in the morning, it was raining, everything was shrouded in a dreamlike fog, Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and was facing the big feather bow decorated with tiger skin on the wall, only to realize that he was in his room, how to come back is not known, only to feel that he has a headache, subconsciously, put on his clothes and want to look for Ruyue, but he is meeting with the eldest grandson Ning Xi who is holding a bowl of ginger soup.
"Are you feeling better?" The eldest grandson Ningxi asked with concern, and was about to reach out and touch his forehead as he spoke, but was dodged by Li Shimin.
He had a terrible headache, and if he didn't talk to her, he would go around her.
"Yesterday the princess ordered someone to send you back." The eldest grandson Ningxi stopped Li Shimin's footsteps, she paused, and the latter sentence "You are not welcome there" was unspoken after all.
She didn't know why, she was so aggrieved in her heart, she detoured in front of Li Shimin, her eyes were full of tears: "What's so good about her?" β
"Okay-it's not good, it's not good, the temper is so ugly, the embroidered mandarin duck is like a duck, and it likes to get sick at every turn, and it doesn't seem to be easy to give birth-" Li Shimin tried his best to pretend not to care, but for some reason he remembered Ruyue's fierce expression and became very soft, "But I always feel that one of my hearts and eyes is like being born on her, but I can't move it away-"
The eldest grandson Ning Xi suddenly remembered a sentence in the play: But you are so good, after all, you can't resist her laughter - she knows etiquette so well, even if she laughs, she doesn't show her teeth when she laughs, but at this moment, she snorted without caring about the image, then took a step back and said softly: "Ning Xi understands." β
Li Shimin didn't say a word, pushed open the door and ran towards the palace where Ruyue lived.
