Chapter 138: The Prince's Decision
Xuan Ling reminded that the prince was too cunning, otherwise they would not have been so guarded.
"You're right, we're secretly observing, and we'll take action when necessary."
After the two of them agreed, they waited on the sidelines.
waited until dark, and the people of Penglai Pavilion finally waited for the prince to come.
Liuying changed into a trailing long skirt, embroidered with elegant lotus flowers, and the waist on her chest was tied, and her originally slender waist was even more ineffective at this time.
"The concubine has seen His Highness." Liuying and everyone in the palace bowed, and the prince hurriedly helped her up, "Don't be polite, this palace is here to visit you today, not for you to come to the palace to talk about false etiquette." ”
"Your Highness said with a smile, Liuying is a person in your palace, and the etiquette must not be lost, it's just that Your Highness has no meal when you think about it, and the concubine has already asked people to prepare dinner, Your Highness is here, please."
As he spoke, Liuying took the prince's hand and walked to the side, looking at the table of good wine and food, the prince had to squeeze out a smile on his face.
"It's really rich, you bothered to bother."
The warbler shook his head, "The warblers that His Highness likes will be carefully understood, these are what His Highness likes to eat, why don't you taste them?" ”
Saying that, Liuying gave the prince a dish with chopsticks, but the prince did not stop it, but looked at Liuying quietly on the side, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
"It's good that this palace just wants to look at you like this, and other things can't get into the eyes of this palace."
Ning Liuying covered her lips and chuckled, "Concubines too, as long as you can see Your Highness, you don't care about the others." ”
"In the past two days, there are important things in the palace, so in the palace of the crown princess, you haven't come to Penglai Pavilion for a long time, you won't be angry, right?" The prince asked tentatively.
Liuying didn't hear the prince's temptation, she smiled and said to the prince, "How come, the princess needs His Royal Highness, you should be by your side, as for me...... As long as Your Highness can remember me well, it will be enough for the Wandering Warbler. ”
The prince didn't say anything more, he ate all the dishes that the warbler picked up, and gave the warbler a smile from time to time, he said, "It tastes good." ”
During the meal, the expressions of the two people were a little weird, and Liuying was a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that the prince had something hidden in his heart and did not say, but he hid it and did not say it, and Liuying was unwilling to ask, so as not to expose anything.
The dishes on the table were only half solved, and the prince suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "Feiyun, present the wine that was paid tribute from the Western Regions some time ago to the palace, and today the palace wants to be with the side concubine, don't get drunk!" ”
Liuying's hand suddenly stopped, thinking that someone had warned him, at this time he became more and more worried in his heart, she didn't believe that the prince could be so ruthless and solve his own pillow person, but in the same way, she didn't believe that everything she had planned now was going to be manipulated into the hands of others, and now even her life was not her own.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Feiyun left the palace, quickly went to the wine cellar to get the wine, and carefully put the wine beside the prince, he said to the prince with a strange expression, "Your Highness, some things have been decided, and there is no possibility of regret." ”
The crown prince closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This palace understands. ”
After Feiyun left, the prince slowly poured a glass of wine for Liuying, she couldn't refuse, so she could only let the prince pour it full, she pretended to be happy and took it and sniffed it twice and said, "Sure enough, it's a good wine for tribute, Liuying hasn't drunk it in the past, I didn't expect to be able to taste such a good wine here in His Highness." ”
Seeing that she was unguarded, the prince suddenly asked, "Liuying, if one day, this palace can't protect you, what should you do?" Will you hate Hongu? ”
Liuying shook her head, and said with tears in her eyes, "No matter what Your Highness does, you are the person you respect the most in Liuying's heart, in the past, and in the future, Liuying will not let herself become a stumbling block to His Highness, after all, it was His Highness who took me in back then, and it was you who let me have a home to go back to, if you were an ordinary family, how good would it be, if you were only willing to marry me......"
She couldn't hold back any longer, the tears in her eyes flowed down in a stream, the prince was a little distressed, and was about to wipe away her tears for the warbler, but she saw the warbler wipe away the tears and picked up the wine glass in her hand, with a sincere smile on her face.
"Liuying wishes His Highness a smooth road ahead, and can do what he wants to do in the future, if he is fortunate to be able to accompany His Highness, it is the luck of Liuying, if not, then I wish His Highness a smooth sailing ahead!"
As he spoke, Liuying arched his hand, a glass of wine almost went into his stomach, the prince suddenly understood something, he quickly overturned the wine in Liuying's hand, and he said coldly, "No, no." ”
He hugged the warbler tightly into his arms and said worriedly, "In the future, no matter what, there will be this palace to protect you." ”
Liuying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking of the thrilling moment just now, she was still a little flustered unconsciously, fortunately, at the critical time, the prince finally followed his thoughts, otherwise she would not be able to escape, the wine was poisonous, she could almost be sure immediately.
Ning Liuying was afraid to hold the prince's clothes, and at this time his mood finally stabilized, compared to the panic just now, Liuying had no worries at this time.
"I don't need His Highness to protect me, Liuying doesn't want to embarrass His Highness, and His Highness will still put interests first in the future, so that others won't know where His Royal Highness the Prince's weakness is, and Liuying doesn't want to become the Prince's weakness."
There was a cry in Liuying's voice, and the prince listened to her voice, and his heart was about to break, "Silly girl, you don't have to be so wronged by your side in this palace, in the future, this palace will not compromise with anyone." ”
Thinking of Shangguan Wei's threat, the prince's eyes were slightly cold, if the Shangguan family had never been in his mind, even if Ning Liuying died, there were other reasons, and the prince who was above 10,000 people under him should always be respectful and humble to Shangguan Wei? If so, wouldn't it be too aggrieved to be in a high position?
The Shangguan family will one day restrain his behavior, and the prince is by no means a person who is restrained by others, whether it is the Shangguan family or anyone else.
"It's not early, why don't Your Highness sleep in Penglai Pavilion tonight?" Liuying asked tentatively, naturally unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't let the prince be suspicious, if she kept pushing the prince out, it would still be inappropriate to think about it.
The prince raised his eyebrows, and said very happily in his heart, "Liuying, this is the first time you have stayed in this palace." ”
"His Royal Highness has dropped the wine glass just now, and the concubine still has a pot of good wine here, Your Highness might as well taste it."
Saying that, Liuying asked Shuqin to take out the peach blossom wine that had been prepared a long time ago, the prince looked at the wine in Liuying's hand, and said with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, "Okay, since you like it, this palace will accompany you to get drunk and rest." ”
