Chapter Twenty-Six: Like a World Away
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and the maid who passed the message for Ning Lian left the words of urging, and came and left with high spirits.
The green cicada spitted at the back of the maid, and said angrily: "The dog fights the human power, and he doesn't weigh his identity!" ”
"Poof......" Ning Zhao smiled.
Fortunately, the weak tea that rinsed the mouth has been spit out.
"When will the little girl learn to scold?" Ning Zhao walked to the dressing mirror and sat down, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the cicada's face turned red, and she hurriedly came behind Ning Zhao, picked up the comb, and while helping Ning Zhao comb her hair, she defended herself: "Shouldn't such a person be scolded, you are the second lady of the house, how can these people handle it!" ”
"I'm just angry." The cicada said that, Wu was angry, and his little mouth was pursed.
Ning Zhao's heart was soft, and through the mirror, he looked at the cicada gently, and said comfortingly: "Since you know that you are a villain, why bother to be like them, don't be angry." ”
Qing Cicada snorted lightly, combed Ning Zhao's hair in a bun, and replied, "Miss, you have a good temper." ”
Am I good-tempered?
Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows, and then didn't say much, and quietly let the cicada make up for himself.
After cleaning up, Ning Zhao went directly to the front yard, Ning Jian was dressed in a gorgeous dress, sitting in the court with an impatient face, and the afterglow swept to Ning Zhao, and immediately changed to a gentle pair of eyebrows.
"My sister is finally here, it's rare for you to participate in the fourth princess's flower-viewing banquet, it's not good if you're late." Ning Jian stepped forward, took Ning Zhao's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "The carriage is already waiting outside, let's leave quickly." ”
Ning Zhao withdrew his hand quietly and said, "How can the eldest sister be a concubine and ride with me, I have already asked the cicada to prepare the carriage, the eldest sister will invite you first." ”
Ning Zhao was still displeased with Ning Zhao's actions, but when he heard Ning Zhao's words, he was very ironed, and his arrogance almost leaked out.
"That sister has to keep up, but not everyone can enter and exit the palace, don't be stopped outside the palace by something that doesn't have long eyes, it's not good." Ning Jian raised his chin slightly and said.
Ning Zhao lowered his eyebrows slightly, hid the sneer under his eyes, and said lightly: "Of course, thank you eldest sister for mentioning it." ”
Ning Jian glanced at her, and the smug smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed when he turned around.
The two of them each got into the carriage, and the moment the door curtain fell, Ning Jian took off his soft disguise, looked sarcastic, took the handkerchief handed by the attendant, and wiped the hand that had just grabbed Ning Zhao in disgust.
"Hmph, a lowly concubine dares to calculate me, see how I clean you up!"
On the other carriage, the cicada nervously wrung her fingers, nervously worried.
"Miss, I'm always a little uneasy today, I can't be by your side when I enter the palace in a while, you must be careful!"
Ning Zhao raised his hand to lift the curtains, looked at the noisy and lively street market outside the carriage, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and replied, "Don't worry." ”
The season is just right, and the flowers are in full bloom, and this moment is the most beautiful moment for the scenery of the Royal Garden.
For the flower-viewing banquet of the four princesses, the palace people began to prepare a few days in advance.
Ning Zhao followed Ning Lian, as well as several beautiful ladies from other families he met on the way, and walked towards the imperial garden together.
is still far away, you can smell the burst of floral fragrance, light but not greasy, refreshing.
Ning Zhao couldn't help but take a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and the fragrance of flowers penetrated into his lungs, washing away the turbidity remaining in his chest.
Ning Jian was chatting with a few noble girls, and when he saw Ning Zhao's appearance, he couldn't help but sneer coldly in his heart.
The is also a, and she has never seen the world.
Ning Zhao opened his eyes, ignoring the people around him, his gaze swept around inch by inch, and walked around.
Although he had only been here a few times in this life, facing the place where he had lived all his life in his previous life, Ning Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I really understand what it means to be like a world away!
"Yo, I thought it was? It turned out to be the second girl of the Ning family, no wonder she looked so strange from afar. A yin and yang weird female voice came, it was the young lady who helped Ning Jian make things difficult for her last time.
Ning Zhao didn't move, but the people around him looked at them one after another, all with lively expressions.
"Tut-tut......" The young lady came to Ning Zhao, looked her up and down, shook her head, and said to Ning Zhao not far away: "Tut-tut, this is also a royal banquet, you are a servant and concubine, and you often participate in such gatherings, but this one is different." ”
"Tsk...... Look. As she spoke, the young lady stretched out two fingers and pinched the corner of Ning Zhao's sleeve, and said sarcastically without concealing it at all: "You just came here with such a shabby look, and you are not afraid of losing the face of your Ning family." ”
As the words fell, there was a low laughter all around, Ning Jian heard that Ning Zhao was ridiculed, and his heart was happy, but his face remained soft, and he pretended to say:
"Oh, I can't say that, my mother taught me etiquette rules since I was a child, and I just learned a fur, my sister has followed my aunt since I was a child, these dresses and matches, my aunt doesn't pay attention to it, and my sister has no place to learn, where can I blame my sister."
Listening to her words that were clearly defending, but were really sarcastic, Ning Zhao couldn't help it, and actually laughed.
Seeing that she could still laugh, Ning Jian raised her eyebrows, and then said: "It's also my fault this time, I should personally go over and give my sister some advice." ”
"If you want me to say, this face is earned by yourself, and you don't understand anything, so you should take the initiative to ask for advice, who will send it to the door, in case some people don't know what to do, it's just a waste of good intentions, how sad it is."
The young lady and Ning Jian glanced at each other, and the two sang and harmonized, without giving Ning Zhao the slightest gap to speak.
Ning Zhao was not in a hurry, and listened quietly, the two of them were just girls in the boudoir, and when it came to it, it was just a little backyard trick, and Ning Zhao didn't pay attention to it at all.
Ning Jian and the two of them were talking energetically at first, but they slowly found that Ning Zhao, who was not affected at all at that time, did not say anything, and the appearance of standing there was similar to those who watched the excitement.
Ning Lian couldn't go on at once, and it was really uncomfortable to follow a sentence in his throat.
However, Ning Zhao's indifferent appearance, Ning Zhao was like a punch on the cotton, completely unfocused.
It was so lively that there were comings and goings, just Ning Jian and the two sang double reeds, and those officials also lost their interest, so it was better to look at the flowers in the courtyard to be pleasing to the eye.
There was a distance between the venue of the cherry blossom viewing banquet, and the ladies of each prefecture were not lingering, so they knew each other well and walked towards the depths of the imperial garden.
When the people around him were almost scattered, Ning Zhao slowly raised his eyes to look at Ning Lian, with a standard to perfect smile on his face, one more was too flattering, and one less was too fake.
A Yunjin plain skirt is not as good as the gorgeous clothes of the two opposite, but it is better than the plain and elegant, in this hundred flowers, it is a striking beauty.
Ning Jian and the others were stunned by her smile, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"The eldest sister's advice Ning Zhao should be taken to heart, but I still want to remind the eldest sister, my name is Ning Zhao." After that, Ning Zhao didn't wait for Ning Lian's reaction, raised his feet and walked towards the flower viewing banquet.
