Volume 2 Light and Young Chapter 64 Not for Fish
Bang Yue felt very wrong.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong or what was wrong.
She and Si Ling put the meal on the table together, only to feel that the atmosphere between His Majesty and His Highness seemed to be a little too good.
Obviously, His Highness was quite normal before he came, but now the smile on the corner of his eyebrows can't be stopped!
It's not that she hopes His Highness won't laugh, it's just that ...... Why are Your Highness and Your Majesty, you look at me and I look at you, looking at each other and smiling with a tacit understanding, how do you look at it.
If you insist on saying anything against the peace, Bang Yue can't say it, but just after doing what she should do, she was dragged out by Si Ling.
"The maids of the Yiyuan Hall are quite clever." Luo Liyao silently took a sip of soup and glanced at him, "But looking at their reactions, your eyebrows should be pretty good?" β
"It's not bad, maybe you can't bear to wash it off when you go to bed today." Luo Xizheng winked at her, quite meaningful.
"Even so, I haven't forgotten how you looked at the gate of the temple." Luo Liyao unconsciously reached out to touch the eyebrows he had just drawn, but stopped his hand when the distance was only an inch, "Is Cheng Huan why did he make you angry again?" Or - Empress Dowager Zhao and Ning Zhong? β
"Yao'er, it's a good thing to be smart, but why are you always so silent?" Luo Xizheng didn't answer her immediately, but looked at her with a narrow smile, but said this somewhat yin and yang weird words extremely interestingly, "If Miss Shi hears this kind of words, I'm afraid she will have to flip the table directly." β
Shi Yuezhen: ???
Shi Yuezhen: I'm not me, don't talk nonsense just because you're the emperor without you!
But he did admit that it was because something had happened.
"The more real she is, the more she won't." Luo Liyao pouted, "She's the one who can't speak the most." β
Good job, worthy of plastic sisterhood.
Luo Liyao looked at him and didn't give up asking, "What happened?" β
"Eat without words." Luo Xizheng took a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth and smiled.
Luo Liyao: "......"
Luo Liyao chewed a few bites, swallowed them, and glared at him.
"I'll tell you when I'm done lunch." Seeing that she ate obediently, Luo Xizheng continued to put some meat on the plate in front of her.
Luo Liyao had no choice but to eat slowly.
She doesn't like to eat meat very much, she always thinks it will be very greasy, but after today's lunch, she has eaten a lot, and she has a rare feeling of fullness.
In the past, Chu Zhaoying taught very strictly, and he couldn't eat more meat and sweets than a few bites of each meal, and he couldn't eat more meat and sweets without tasting any taste - if he ate more at the banquet on any day
Some, if you go back, you will be punished for kneeling, because this is a loss of the dignity of the royal family.
So Luo Liyao has developed such a habit since she was a child, no matter what kind of food she eats, she eats very little, let alone meat and sweets, and occasionally she feels greasy when she eats it.
It's been a long time since she's felt so fullβand it's pretty good.
"Can you say it now? Don't delay my lunch break-" Luo Liyao rinsed his mouth with the green salt offered by Bang Yue, and let him gently wipe the non-existent traces at the corners of his mouth for himself, waiting for him to speak.
"Except for the two maids who are close to the queen mother, the current Yide Hall is full of Ning Zhongji's people." Luo Xizheng handed the silk in his hand to Bang Yue, and watched her slowly retreat before he was finally willing to answer her question, "I'm not sure that he won't do anything to the queen mother." β
"Aren't they old acquaintances?" Luo Liyao frowned, looking very confused.
Since it is an old acquaintance, there is some love for the roots, so why do you know it...... So serious?
"Old acquaintances?" When Luo Xizheng heard this, he almost sneered from the bottom of his heart, but he stopped in front of her-this kind of filthy thing should not be known to her.
"Ah, old acquaintances." Luo Liyao was keenly aware of the change in his demeanor, but he didn't break it, and only pretended to be unintentional, "If it weren't for the old acquaintance, how could he take you back to Tianqi and support you when your father just passed away?" Isn't it because of Empress Dowager Zhao? Don't make me ...... with the fact that he's your teacher."
"It's because of the queen mother, but it's not what you think......" Luo Xizheng grabbed her wrist, showed an inexplicable smile, and changed the conversation in time, "Yao'er, you are testing me." β
It was an affirmative tone, without a hint of doubt.
He could see that Luo Liyao was testing him.
Luo Liyao was stunned, but she didn't intend to deny it, and met his eyes silently.
It's kind of a default.
He didn't get angry, didn't have any surprise or any other negative emotions, just looked at her calmly.
"Yao'er, you know that Ning Zhong and I are not of the same mind." Luo Xizheng looked at her, and suddenly said, "It's just...... My mother, I must protect her. β
"So, their relationship isn't as harmonious as it seems?"
"It's complicated, you shouldn't know these ......"
"I want to know." Luo Liyao interrupted him, "It's not just curiosity, it's just ...... If I could know more, I could help you more β if you trust me. β
As long as you trust me.
Suddenly, Luo Xizheng seemed to see the pink carving again, but his face was pale
The little girl stretched out her hand to herself, and what she said was like this: "As long as you believe me." β
The little girl of the year has grown into the slim girl she is now, and what has not changed is that she is still in front of him, still standing beside him, and still with him.
We know each other when we are young and support each other.
This is not the affection brought by blood, but the gradual emergence of different bodies over the years of concentricity and hand in hand.
"I naturally believe you." Luo Xizheng didn't hesitate, looked at her bright eyes and said this, "But I don't think you should be exposed to this kind of thing." β
"It won't be...... What I think? Luo Liyao had a faint premonition, and remembered the secret reports of "suspected private affairs, and even secretly married".
Luo Xizheng paused, took her into his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "The Zhao family and the Ning family used to be world friends...... They were childhood sweethearts, and the two families also had a marriage contract. β
Engagement?
Luo Liyao thundered in her head.
Zhao Tianyuan and Ning Zhong had a marriage contract in the past, and it was not the kind of marriage contract that was joking about young people.
However, Zhao Tianyuan married his father - if Ning Zhong really had that kind of thought, how could he not stop it? And if he didn't, then brought them to Tianqi and stood on the united front with them when the throne was turbulent, just because they were childhood sweethearts?
Or combine conspiracy theories and think a little more terrifying...... He's there for something. For example, to control the power of the entire Tianqi Dynasty, in fact, he did it.
But whether he is interested in Zhao Tianyuan or not, he was robbed of his fiancΓ©e for nothing, can he still endure this breath to assist this person? For his fiancΓ©e who married someone else, can he still help her son regardless of his past suspicions?
Ning Zhong is not a saint, so it is naturally impossible.
"You...... When did you find out? How do you know? Luo Liyao also reached out to wrap her arms around his back and patted him, which was considered comforting.
"When you were still in Gongzi...... Before leaving, I overheard their conversation. Luo Xizheng hugged her tighter, rested his head on her shoulder, and smelled the rosedew on her body a little greedily, "Ning Zhong said something, 'If you are for the good of your child, this is an opportunity that we must grasp'. β
It sounded like Ning Zhong was using him, who was still young at the time, to threaten Zhao Tianyuan.
It's no wonder that Luo Xizheng thinks that Ning Zhong will be unfavorable to Zhao Tianyuan - he is a person who is driven by interests, and naturally he can do anything for the sake of interests.
"He's still openly fighting you for power?"
"It's okay, I won't lose." Luo Xizheng rubbed the side of her face, with a tone of begging for praise.
"He is a no-name teacher, and I will look for more evidence of his crimes...... You can get rid of him. Luo Liyao selectively ignored another meaning in his tone, and unconsciously dodged, but attracted him closer and closer, so he simply didn't move, and let him rub it, "There are many people in the court who see the wind and rudder, once he loses the heart, there is nothing to be afraid of-those who are determined to follow him are a minority after all, and there is no need to keep such people." β
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Tang Haoqi is already on his way to Gongzi, if there is anything we don't know...... I don't know, anyway, don't worry too much - if he dares to blatantly do something to Yide Palace, he will only kill himself. β
"I understand."
"Also, he still has a righteous daughter in Xingfei Palace, the one named Ning Wan...... She, she's just a woman who is being used, if she is selected, ......" Luo Liyao bit her lip and paused before saying, "If she is selected, you won't go to see her often, lest Ning Zhong think she is valuable and will use her against you." β
"We're not fish to be slaughtered." Luo Xizheng smiled, and then hugged her sideways again.
"What to do, what to do?" Luo Liyao's heart jumped and she began to struggle.
But it was useless to struggle, not to be carried by him, and to be placed on the bed in the dormitory.
Oh, it's the same scene again.
"She can't keep it." Luo Xizheng bent down to help her take off her boots and forcibly stuffed her into the futon, "It's you, it's time for you to take a lunch break." β
"I ...... I want to go back to the Canglan Palace! Probably because the stove had been lit in this dormitory, or because the bedding was too heavy, Luo Liyao blushed and tried to make a final struggle.
"Be nice, are you sure you're going to run out now?" Luo Xizheng rubbed her head, which was a very normal move, but he made a little ambiguous.
What's more......
"You choked my hair apart, of course I can't leave now!" Luo Liyao simply pulled the hairpin on her head and let all the long hair fall down, and lay down with a light snort - this Yiyuan Palace's bed seems to be ...... It was more comfortable than in her own hall, which made her feel a little sleepy as soon as she lay down.
"Sleep." His voice was clearly close to his ears, but his eyes were already a little blurry.
So sleepy.
I don't know if it's because the bed curtains in Yiyuan Hall are too dark or because I'm too sleepy, Luo Liyao only felt that the scene in front of her was getting darker and darker, and she fell asleep while pinching the quilt.
Luo Xizheng tucked the quilt for her, and reached out to smooth the messy hair on her cheeks.
"Yao'er, have a good dream."
