CHAPTER XXXIII
The sound of joy resounded throughout the Huiwang Mansion, and the servants all wore a red ribbon around their waists, some beckoned the guests to enter the table, and some shuttled through the Huiwang Mansion, coming and going continuously, and walking in a hurry.
The servants who came and went would see the eldest prince Su standing on the stairs, although the position standing was a little obstructive, but His Royal Highness King Hui didn't say anything, and no one dared to step forward and say no. Let's not say that the eldest prince of Su is not easy to mess with, just because he is the cousin of His Royal Highness King Hui, and the Su family holds the important business gate of Beiliang, he can suppress people enough.
Su Ziqing stretched out his head, unconsciously stood on tiptoe, and stared at the door intently. His chest was bulging under his clothes, and he carefully covered it with his hands, as if he had a treasure in his pocket. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and he knew that Ning Bai would definitely come!
He walked through the crowd flexibly and lightly, came to Ning Bai, and smiled heartily, "Doctor Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time, I knew you would come!" ”
Ning Bai nodded, "Long time no see." ”
Wen Su and Qin Wei next to him both knew Su Ziqing, Qin Wei generally acted when he saw the opportunity, and he didn't say much, but Wen Xu, she had never seen such a Su Ziqing, it was very strange, "Master Su is this to please Dr. Ning?"
Su Ziqing glanced at Wen Su, and didn't shy away from it, "So what?" Are you jealous?"
After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Ning Bai's wrist, wanting to take Ning Bai away. The sudden strength made Ning Bai not react for a moment, and he was stunned and let Su Ziqing pull him away, and suddenly, Wen Su behind him grabbed Ning Bai's other hand, looked at Su Ziqing, and suddenly rose to the momentum of swearing sovereignty on the battlefield, "Su Ziqing, Doctor Ning came with me, you are not allowed to take him away!" ”
Thinking that he Su Ziqing has been rampant in Suiyang for so many years, he has never been afraid. Isn't it just practiced? He is not afraid!
Su Ziqing said ruthlessly, "I want to take it away, even if you have any tricks, I'm not afraid of you!" ”
Wen Xu snorted, "Then it depends on whether Dr. Ning follows you!" ”
Ning Bai was in a dilemma, he couldn't go, he didn't go, he couldn't bear to refuse, especially when he saw Su Ziqing looking at his expectant eyes. But she came with Wen Su, and it wouldn't be good if she stayed. It's just that the two are incompatible, and it's really difficult to choose.
"Imperial Physician Ning, Second Highness is invited." Xu Feng didn't know when he appeared.
What a time!
After the words entered his ears, Qin Wei looked at Ning Bai with an inexplicable expression, Wen Su and Su Ziqing's reactions were the same, and they looked at Ning Bai in disbelief. As we all know, His Royal Highness treats people coldly, often lives in the palace, and does not see people. Wen Su and Su Ziqing had only seen each other from afar at the palace banquet.
On the other hand, Ning Bai was held by the two of them left and right, and was in the middle, and when she heard the Second Highness, she was as surprised as if she had heard a well-known name, and she was puzzled.
"Ning Bai, do you know the Second Highness?" Su Ziqing was the first to ask.
Ning Bai's treatment of Helian Jinyi was private, so she shook her head with a smirk, "It's just that I occasionally replaced other imperial doctors to see the illness of His Royal Highness once or twice, so I don't know him." ”
Wen Xu glanced at Ning Bai's whole body, her skin was fair, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, such a handsome imperial doctor, even if she saw her once, she would remember it, not to mention that His Royal Highness was a man! Moreover, the imperial doctors in the palace are all bad old men, where can they be as pleasing to the eye as Imperial Doctor Ning.
Wen Su let go of his hand, looked at Ning Bai with a knowing look, "Since His Royal Highness has spoken, Wen Su will not be forced to stay." ”
When Ning Bai heard this, he looked at Wen Su, who knew that Wen Su actually threw a wink at her, and couldn't help frowning suspiciously.
On the other end, Su Ziqing refused to let go of his hand, almost disappointed, you know, he has entered the palace few times, even if he often enters the palace, the palace is so big, he doesn't often meet Ning Bai, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to express his heart to her. He silently glanced down at his bulging chest, he hid a pot of drunken immortal brew in it, knowing that Ning Bai liked it, he brought it on purpose, but he didn't expect it......
Wen Xu saw Su Ziqing's clues, walked over and took Su Ziqing's hand away intentionally or unintentionally, hugged Su Ziqing like a brother, looked at Ning Bai, waved his hand at him, and signaled her to leave quickly.
Ning Bai followed behind Xu Feng, looking back from time to time until they were gone.
Wen Xu hugged Su Ziqing, regardless of his struggles, pulled him into a corner, and asked in a low voice, "Su Ziqing, tell me, are you the Imperial Doctor Xinyuening?"
Su Ziqing looked at her in surprise, he was so obvious? Wen Xu continued: "Don't look at me like that, you just say no, don't worry, I won't discriminate and alienate you."
Su Ziqing knew that Ning Bai was a woman, but Wen Xu didn't know. He understood that this was Ning Bai's secret, unless she said it herself, and before that, he wouldn't say a word more.
Su Ziqing was poked in the heart, and in order to hide the tension and shyness in his heart, he pretended to be angry and pushed Wen Su away, "Nonsense!" With that, he left.
From the moment Ning Bai saw Helian Jianyi, he remembered the rudeness to him last time, so he behaved properly, and sat next to him. Helian Jinyi called her over, nothing happened, just let her sit beside her until the banquet began.
She was in a fugue, eating the same dish without thinking, and her heart had already drifted outside.
Suddenly, Helian Jinyi brought Ning Bai a dish from his table, the same dish she had just eaten, and said, "If you like, eat more."
Ning Bai hurriedly took the plate, smiled copingly, and thanked him, "Thank you, Second Highness." ”
In fact, she just wanted to finish eating and saying goodbye quickly, but she didn't expect a plate to be served, looking at Helian Jinyi's cold appearance, she didn't dare to refuse, and when she finished eating this plate, she had to speak first.
She looked out from time to time, and her mouth kept gulping, but her mind was not on eating. Finally, the dish bottomed out, and she could say goodbye.
She finally swallowed the last bite and cleared her tongue, "Second Highness, Ning Bai has eaten and drunk to his heart's content, so I will leave first!" ”
"Wait." Helian Jianyi spoke, but this was no longer what she expected! It shouldn't be an indifferent "um", or a pitiful "you go!" ”
"What else does Your Highness command?" After saying this, Ning Bai had a bad premonition.
Helian Jinyi put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and said lightly: "Your Highness is waiting for you to finish eating and enjoy the lanterns."
Ning Bai's first reaction was to refuse, "Your Highness, I ......"
"What are you?" Helian Jin Yi took the lead, her voice was as cold as ice, "If you refuse to say anything like this, you don't need to say anything, you have made His Highness wait for so long, shouldn't you make up for it, in return?" ”
What a good trick!
"That dish was brought by you by Your Royal Highness." Ning Bai protested calmly.
Helian Jinyi looked at her equally calmly, "You ate it." ”
If Helian Jinyi turns into a little puppet one day, Ning Bai will definitely throw him enough circles in his hands, and then throw him to the edge of the sky! Ning Bai knew that he was wrong, gritted his back molars, and with a hypocritical smile, he followed Helian Jin out of the palace.
To the right of the palace, there is a curved arch bridge, the two ends of the bridge, is the market, is the place where the vendors set up their stalls, on the top of the head, is full of lanterns, connected into rows of lanterns, all kinds, there are everything, the water flow under the bridge, paved with different river lanterns, drift away with the water flow, is the lively place to guess the lantern riddles, put the river lanterns.
It coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, and there are people on and off the bridge, so close that they are just a passing distance.
The two shuttled through the crowd, first sparse, and when they gradually approached the bridge, there were more and more people, and only a fist of distance remained between them.
Helian Jianyi stretched out his hand to Ning Bai, his voice low and serious, "Hold on to me, don't lose it." ”
Ning Bai's eyes stared directly at Helian Jinyi's slender hand, as if it was quiet all around, she felt the sound of continuous fluttering and rising on the left, her head buzzed, and she wanted to hold that hand without thinking, but in the end, she controlled it and just grabbed Helian Jinyi's sleeve.
Helian Jinyi was slightly stunned, and the heaviness under his sleeves made him not very satisfied. He turned his head and glanced at Ning Bai slanted, seeing her tugging on her sleeves, hanging her head and shaking it from side to side, glancing at both sides of her eyes, but she refused to look up. In the end, he made a decisive move, and without looking back, he easily and accurately held Ning Bai's palm before he would give up.
Helian Jinyi's palms were cold, which made Ning Bai's heart palpitate for a moment, she raised her head in surprise, looked at Helian Jianyi's back in a daze, and let him lead her forward.
Helian Jin Yi led Ning Bai until a lantern stall with a variety of styles, took a fancy to a lantern painted with a hedgehog, and looked at Ning Bai, "You can buy this lantern and give it to me." ”
Ning Bai was in a trance and didn't react, as soon as he heard "buy", his eyes immediately retracted nervously, covering the money bag he hung around his waist, and he didn't dare to look directly at Helian Jinyi, "Second hall...... Childe, I haven't issued the silver this month! I'm already living a very poor life, but I still don't have any spare money, aren't you taking Xu Feng with you? You let him pay. ”
Helian Jinyi didn't think twice, "Xu Feng took leave with me and went home. ”
If you throw off the pot too much, you will get used to it.
Xu Feng, who was half-squatting, carefully observed the surroundings on the eaves above the two, but because of the noisy voice, he couldn't hear the conversation between the two.
What Ning Bai didn't know was that Xu Feng was an orphan......
Ning Bai looked at Helian Jinyi's threatening eyes, glanced at his own money bag again, and pointed to the lantern very reluctantly, "Boss, how much is this lantern?"
The lantern vendor looks to be in his early twenties, and his eyes are pointed! As soon as he exited, he asked Ning Bai to slap the stall table and shout.
"Two-two! Boss, has your lantern been lit by a monk or plated with a layer of gold? The production is not exquisite, the colors are all painted in a different way, and you dare to ask me for two or two! Give you a penny and you'll make enough! ”
The vendor looked indifferent, "You are free, you like to buy it or not, and you don't buy it and pull it down." ”
If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, a broken lantern, what's so rare! Ning Bai was stiff and called Helian Jinyi, "Let's go!" ”
Just as he was about to turn around, Helian Jinyi suddenly said, "I remember that you have five taels of silver in your money bag."
Ning Bai subconsciously covered his money bag again, squinted his eyes, revealing a dangerous gaze, and looked at Helian Jinyi, "Have you seen my money bag?" ”
Helian Jinyi shook her head, "It's Xu Feng." ”
Without the orders of the master, what is there to look good about a money bag with only a few pieces of broken silver.
This Xu Feng, she can be regarded as remembering!
Ning Bai relaxed, approached Helian Jianyi with the vendor on his back, and said kindly: "Childe, a lantern of a few pennies is really not worth buying for two taels of silver."
Helian Jinyi nodded thoughtfully, "It's really not worth it...... However, Ben Gongzi likes this lantern. ”
Ning Bai's smile that was about to unfold instantly froze, and she suppressed a chaotic anger in her body. Since the good words don't go to the ear, let's give up the loss!
"Childe, I have something better than a lantern that I can give to you."
Rare medicinal herbs are much more valuable than lanterns.
Helian Jianyi thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly nodded in agreement, as if he was forced by Ning Bai......
