Chapter 40: Huixin Pavilion
At night, while she had nothing to do, Ning Liuying took a stroll through the garden.
In the twilight of the night, there was no one outside, and the concubines of the palace were looking forward to being favored by the prince day and night, so they hurried back to the courtyard every night, for fear of missing the prince's pity.
And Ning Liuying is different, she wishes that Yuan Chufeng would not come to disturb her, she doesn't want to be inexplicably pregnant with Yuan Chufeng's child like last time.
Besides, now that Yuan Chufeng's Yinluan Sword has been found, she has no shame to face Yuan Chufeng.
Walking around, I somehow walked into a secluded yard, which was full of fallen leaves scattered in autumn, and everywhere else was laughter and noise, but this yard was so quiet that I could even hear the sound of breathing, and it was very desolate.
Ning Liuying stopped in front of this courtyard and was attracted by this courtyard.
She had never seen such a remote place in this palace, and compared to the surrounding prosperity, this courtyard seemed much more monotonous.
Although it is shining, it always gives people a different feeling.
Ning Liuying couldn't hold back her curiosity, and tried to push the wooden door of the courtyard, and with a "squeak", the wooden door opened in response.
Ning Liuying poked in, not to mention a human figure, but he didn't even see the shadow of a wild cat.
She walked into the courtyard and saw a plaque hanging on the top of the main house, Huixin Pavilion.
Huixin Pavilion, Ning Liuying silently recited this name in her heart, presumably the person who lives here must also be a kind and benevolent master.
And this courtyard is quite different from the courtyard of these concubines.
The size of the courtyard alone is very different, this Huixin Pavilion is larger than the courtyard of the concubine, and the objects placed in the house are also very different.
The objects in the Huixin Pavilion are all priceless porcelain and jewelry, and they can't compare them with each other.
"I don't know what kind of character lives in this Huixin Pavilion, this decoration is no different from Yuan Chufeng's bedroom, it must be a very powerful person," Ning Liuying looked around the room, and there were words in her mouth.
It's just a pity that this good yard is empty, it should be uninhabited, but it is cleaned neatly and cleanly.
Ning Liuying looked elsewhere, and a painting hanging on the wall caught her attention.
The portrait depicts a woman, who stands there dignified and elegant, and just by looking at the portrait, you know that she is a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city.
There is an inscription under the portrait, Chu Ruoxi, which is the name of the woman in the portrait.
"Chu Ruoxi," Ning Liuying muttered, she felt that she had heard the name somewhere, but she couldn't remember anything.
stared at the portrait for a long time, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps, and Ning Liuying woke up from her intoxication and hurriedly left the courtyard.
It can be seen that the owner of the courtyard is a very important figure in the Zhennan Palace, otherwise how could Yuan Chufeng specially keep the yard for her and ask people to wipe it every day?
And the owner of the courtyard must have passed away, and only those who have passed away will be painted as portraits and hung in remembrance.
If she guessed correctly, that woman should be Yuan Chufeng's biological mother, and there is a resemblance between Yuan Chufeng's eyebrows and eyes.
And the reason why Ning Liuying left here in a hurry was also because he was worried about being seen and fell into the handle.
If he broke into the former residence of Yuan Chufeng's biological mother without permission, he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by Yuan Chufeng.
He let the Yinluan Sword be melted into iron, which was given to him by Yuan Chufeng's biological mother, what kind of face did he have to face Yuan Chufeng's biological mother?
Ning Liuying thought that it was the subordinate who was cleaning the courtyard, and after staying outside the door for a while, she didn't see the subordinate person, so she had to leave in a huff.
I think I heard it wrong, but Ning Liuying can't enter the courtyard, and if someone enters, I'm afraid it will disturb the lady's tranquility.
After walking out of Huixin Pavilion for a while, I came to a garden.
Ning Liuying stepped on the pebbles laid on the ground in the garden, and jumped inside, listening to the occasional sound of frogs lapping the water by the pond.
In the distance, from the gazebo of the garden, there was a sudden sound of a flute, which was melodious and pleasant, but there was a little uncovering sadness in the flute.
Ning Liuying followed the sound of the flute, but saw that it was Yuan Chufeng sitting in the pavilion, with his back to Ning Liuying, playing the flute.
Ning Liuying was suddenly gloomy, presumably Yuan Chufeng remembered that the silver luan sword given to him by his mother was melted into iron, so his mood was unforgettable, and he couldn't help but feel more and more guilty in his heart.
Yuan Chufeng said that it was okay, but he was sad in his heart.
Ning Liuying sat on a stone at the foot of the pavilion steps, holding her face with both hands, listening to the flute faintly, looking at Yuan Chufeng's back in a daze.
That back, so not lonely, coupled with this unique flute sound, actually made Ning Liuying feel distressed for Yuan Chufeng in her heart.
Everyone only knew that he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was accustomed to seeing bloody rain, but no one thought that he was also a man who would secretly hurt himself at night when no one was around.
Ning Liuying, Ning Liuying, you said that what you did was not good, but you did the fine work of the Zhou Kingdom, and melted Yuan Chufeng's silver luan sword into iron, how do you tell me to face Yuan Chufeng? How can you call me not guilty?
Ning Liuying secretly complained about the original owner thousands of times in her heart, so she was so engrossed that she didn't even hear the sound of the flute disappearing, with a dull little face, not knowing what she was thinking.
"When did you still have a penchant for eavesdropping?" Yuan Chufeng's voice came faintly, which brought Ning Liuying's thoughts back to reality.
Ning Liuying turned her head, Yuan Chufeng was obviously facing away from him, how did he know that he was here? Could it be that his martial arts have been practiced to such an amazing level? Then she will ask Yuan Chufeng for advice another day.
Ning Liuying stood up a little embarrassed and walked behind Yuan Chufeng, "You played the flute too intoxicated just now, so you didn't hear it, I have been behind you, not eavesdropping." ”
Ning Liuying thought that he had to explain clearly to Yuan Chufeng, and he couldn't let him misunderstand him.
Yuan Chufeng turned around and looked straight at Ning Liuying, "Then I have stopped the flute, why didn't you notice it?" What are you thinking again? ”
I have to say that the bright moonlight cast on the rugged water surface has a charm, and Yuan Chufeng is wearing a blue and dark robe today, with a hairpin carved from jade on his hair. The scenery and the people became one, which really made Ning Liuying stunned.
She didn't know if it was the scenery or the people.
"It's nothing," how could Ning Liuying tell Yuan Chufeng the truth? Wouldn't her identity be revealed?
Yuan Chufeng saw that Ning Liuying didn't want to say, so he didn't ask anymore, poured a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, and the fragrance was overflowing.
