Red Flame Chapter 45 Misunderstanding
Ji Qianning and Qingzhu, who were not far away, were looking forward to watching a happy play, but when they saw Yong'an knocking over the food box, the two of them immediately stayed in place, and ran in front of Yong'an for some reason, Ji Qianning quickly propped up her umbrella above Yong'an's head. She looked at her face, only to see a sad expression, red eyes, despair, grief, and a trace of disbelief in her eyes, she didn't know whether it was rain or tears left on her face, and her eyes were always fixed on the front.
Looking in that direction, the scene ahead made Ji Qianning immediately annoyed.
The heavy rain made the world hazy, but even if the figures of the two people in front of them were blurred, they could see it really by the dim light.
Bai Zixue, who was dressed in military uniform, and a woman in a light green brocade dress held an umbrella together, and the brocade handkerchief in the woman's hand was attached to Bai Yi's face, as if she wanted to wipe the rain on her face for him, the expression and movement were too ambiguous.
The movement of Yong'an knocking over the food box alarmed Bai Ziyu and the woman in fancy clothes, so much so that they forgot the movement of their hands and looked at the place where the sound came from, perhaps because of a moment of panic, so they froze such a scene.
Bai Zixue's heart was mixed for a while, one was the person he was thinking about, and the other was the wife of Ming Media Marrying, he glanced at the woman in Chinese clothes, turned around and rushed in the rain, and quickly walked to Yong'an's side, leaving only the hand of the woman in Chinese clothes to continue to stop in mid-air.
Yong'an's gaze never took off his eyes, and when he came to her, she didn't make noise, didn't accuse, just smiled at him, an extremely reluctant bitter smile.
Bai Ziyu felt a little distressed, he conditionally stretched out his hand, leaned over to hold Yong'an's weakly lowered right hand, but before he could touch it, Yong'an quickly dodged it, and he could only take it back very unnaturally.
Ji Qianning clenched Yong'an's arm, and found that her whole body had become stiff, although there was a smile on her face, her eyes were sad to the extreme, and when she saw such a scene, she couldn't bear it: "Qingzhu, take the princess back to the house quickly, and take care of it." ”
Although she didn't know what was going on, the scene in front of her couldn't help but hurt people's hearts, the rain was cold, and the cold air at night was invading, she was afraid that Lan'er would stay for a while, and her body would not be able to bear it.
Yong'an didn't say a word, let Qingzhu help him walk away, Bai Zizhi looked at Yong'an's gradually blurred back, remembered her disappointed eyes, and was sullen in her heart, there was a trace of indescribable unhappiness, even so, she turned around and glanced at the woman in Chinese clothes behind her, and did not chase Yong'an, but only told Bai Yang to go and send him off.
In Ji Qianning's heart, Bai Yi has always been an extremely perfect person, although his behavior is occasionally a little indulgent and uninhibited, but he is not as romantic as those idle clouds and wild cranes, he has always known etiquette and etiquette, but now I don't know why such a ridiculous scene happened, she was quite angry: "Brother Yi, you are so confused." Sighing helplessly, she didn't say anything for a long time, even if she was annoyed, but she understood that some things didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't just look at the surface, so she didn't blame too much.
Bai Yi didn't say a word, and didn't defend a word.
The woman in a fancy costume held an umbrella and came to the two of them at some point.
"Cousin." The woman's tone was extremely gentle, and her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring in the mountains, even Ji Qianning and a woman were a little intoxicated when she heard it, and she hit the umbrella on the top of Bai Zixue's head, "I'm sorry for causing you to be misunderstood." ”
Bai Ziyu looked at her with a gentle expression: "It has nothing to do with you." ”
As soon as the woman's words came out, the good feeling in Ji Qianning's heart was instantly extinguished: "You should say sorry, not to General Bai, but to Princess Yong'an, his wife." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but muttered in her heart, "Knowing that someone already has a family, you can't do anything out of line, even if you call your cousin, you shouldn't do it." ”
Bai Ziyu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ah Ning, the lady in front of you is the lady concubine, don't be rude." ”
Hearing this, Ji Qianning, who was not too angry, became even more annoyed: "What about Concubine Niangniang, is what I just said wrong?" ”
The woman in the gorgeous costume is the concubine Su Jinyan who Bai Yi loves but can't, lives in the Sheng'an Palace, and goes out of the palace this time to save her relatives, she saw someone who is not afraid of her identity for the first time, and she appreciated it in her heart, and chuckled: "Who is this?" ”
Bai Ziyu immediately introduced to her: "Niangniang, this is Ah Ning, the daughter of the Daze Ji family, Qianning. ”
When Su Jinyan heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Cousin, but the Ji family where you have lived for a few years, and you are the rumored sweetheart of King Ling?" ”
"Exactly."
Hearing this, Ji Qianning didn't say anything, and continued to listen angrily. Suddenly, Su Jinyan stood in front of her with a look of admiration: "I have heard that the Daze Ji family is loyal and martyrful, and I have to see my sister today, and I really inherit the legacy of the Ji family, and I have quite a personality." ”
Ji Qianning hurriedly stopped Su Jinyan: "If there is anything inappropriate in Fang Cai's words, please also ask Niang Niang Haihan, if it is almost, it can be avoided, and I hope that Niang Niang will think twice in the future." After she finished speaking, she faced Bai Yi, "Brother Yi, Qingxin Pavilion on Zhiluo Street, after your matter is properly handled, come here to find me, don't miss the appointment." Then, he saluted the two of them, turned and left quickly.
She borrowed a horse from the patrolling soldiers, braved the heavy rain, and headed west of the city.
…………
Qingxin Pavilion is no different from the past, the lights are bright, Ji Qianning handed over the horse to the little guy at the door, walked straight into the lobby, came in the rain, her body was embarrassed, and the rain slid down her clothes and fell on the floor, forming a trail of water.
"If the girl doesn't dislike it, follow me to the museum to change clothes." Suddenly, a man's voice remembered in the attic.
Ji Qianning raised her eyes and looked down, and down the steps was Mu Qing, the master of the Qingxin Pavilion, who saluted slightly: "Master Mu Pavilion." ”
Mu Qing came to her with a smile and saluted back: "The pavilion is full of newly prepared Luo shirts, I hope the girl will not dislike it." ”
"In this way, I will thank Lord Mu Ge."
Mu Qing led her to a room on the third floor, picked up the towel handed by the little maid and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Wipe your wet hair, so as not to catch a cold, I will go downstairs and wait for the girl." ”
When Mu Qing went downstairs, Ji Qianning pushed the door in, dried her hair with a towel, chose a plain clothes, took off her wet clothes, went out after dressing neatly, and went downstairs along the stairs.
Mu Qing, who was waiting on the second floor, saw Ji Qianning from a distance, and saw that she was dressed in white, out of the ordinary, which made him a little moved, but his face did not change much. When Ji Qianning came to him, he took her to an accord on the second floor, the aquigo where Xuan Qi often sits, and the master of the Mu Pavilion knew the relationship between this girl and King Ling, so he deliberately arranged it like this.
"What does the girl drink?"
"What do you recommend?"
Mu Qing chuckled lightly, clapped his hands, and after a while, the little servant brought a glass bottle, which was filled with purple liquid. Mu Qing took it, put it on the rosewood case in front of Ji Qianning, and said: "I have apprenticed in Xia Zeng and learned the winemaking skills of the Western Regions, this is the grape wine I made with my own hands, please taste the girl, if the girl has instructions, come and call me again, don't bother first." Mu Qing saluted Ji Qianning and said goodbye.
"There's Lord Laomu." Ji Qianning returned the salute. Waiting for Mu Qing to leave, Ji Qianning picked up the glass cup and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire its exquisiteness in her heart. Immediately, pour yourself a glass of wine, hold a glass of wine and taste, a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine......
After a long time, Bai Zizhi came to Accord under the guidance of Mu Qing, he took off the wet cloak on his body and sat down opposite Ji Qianning.
Ji Qianning picked up another glass cup, poured the wine, and put it in front of Bai Yi: "Brother Yi, Lord Muge's wine has a unique flavor, I can't help but drink half a bottle, you taste it." ”
Bai Yi picked up the wine cup and drank it, at this moment, he didn't have any intention to taste the wine carefully: "A Ning, I ......"
Ji Qianning put down the wine glass in her hand, immediately became serious, stared at Bai Yi's eyes and asked, "Brother Yi, do you have a place for Lan'er in your heart." She asked directly.
Bai Yi's face was solemn, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "I don't know. ”
Facing his hesitation, Ji Qianning felt a little unhappy in her heart: "Brother Yi, you should know that Lan'er is full of you." ”
Bai Yi nodded: "I know." ”
"No, you don't know, since we met for the first time when we were children, she liked you, but she didn't think she was worthy of you, so she quietly hid her thoughts, and over the years, she loved you a lot."
Bai Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief: "How come?" "I want to meet Nan Zhou at the beginning, she followed him to the battlefield to defend against the enemy, a woman, not afraid of the hardships in the army, not afraid of the life of licking blood every day, closely followed him, at that time he saw her thoughts, but he refused to admit it in his heart, he didn't know how to give her back, a person who was hurt in his heart, no longer had any ability to accept her love. I just didn't know that her love started so far away.
Ji Qianning shook her head helplessly: "In my heart, you won't easily lose your proportion, that concubine, with you?" ”
Bai Yi poured himself a full bottle of wine, and after a few cups, he slowly spoke: "It's because you have a misunderstanding, I don't care, if you humiliate the lady because of this, it will be a sin." She is my uncle's daughter, my cousin, and she is only here to tell me something for my sick uncle. ”
Ji Qianning saw the painful look that inadvertently flashed on his face, and had already guessed a little bit of their relationship: "Brother Yi, some things have passed, you can't be entangled anymore, people always have to look forward, they always have to start a new life, Lan'er really loves you, since you are married, don't avoid her anymore, and hope to treat her well." ”
"Lan'er is fine, it's just that I ......" Maybe Bai Yi himself didn't notice that his name for her had changed.
Ji Qianning saw that she was entangled, and shouted angrily: "Brother Yi." ”
Hearing this angry shout, Bai Yi's heart was much clearer: "Ah Ning, it's not that I deliberately avoided her, although I don't know what I mean to Lan'er, but I don't reject her, but I feel that she has everything in the house, and my heart is much more steady, but in the face of her affection for me, I don't know how to deal with it for a while, so I simply keep an appropriate distance from her." ”
Ji Qianning listened, and said to him anxiously: "Brother Yi, what you have to do is to open your heart, don't run away, try to accept her, remember that she is the wife you are marrying." ”
Bai Yi nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Brother Yi, you go home immediately, explain this misunderstanding to Lan'er in person, and then coax her well, in the future, it will depend on your actions."
Bai Yi poured a full glass of wine, drank it, and asked timidly, "Is it feasible?" ”
Ji Qianning was amused by his behavior: "It's feasible." ”
Hearing Ji Qianning say the word "feasible", Bai Yi quickly got up, picked up his cloak, and said to Ji Qianning: "I'll take the first step." ”
Ji Qianning smiled and nodded at him.
Bai Yi just walked a few steps, as if he remembered something, he turned around and asked, "Ah Ning, you?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll go back to King Ling's Mansion in a while."
"Then I'll send Bai Yang to protect you."
"Brother Yi, I really don't need to, now, few people can hurt me in the slightest, go quickly!"
Bai Yi finally put his mind at ease and quickly left the Accord.
Ji Qianning drank the last drop of wine in the cup, got up and went out, stood on the second floor, looked at Bai Yi's departing back, and murmured: "Brother Yi, I hope you cherish the people in front of you, don't regret it until you lose." ”
"I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married."
The sudden voice startled Ji Qianning, she turned around, only to see that it was Lord Mu Ge, looking at him with a smile.
"Don't worry, General Bai and his wife will grow old together, girl, if you frown again, it won't look good." Mu Qing saluted her.
Ji Qianning smiled and nodded, and suddenly there was some regret on her face: "It's a pity that I wasted a piece of the kindness of the Lord of Mu Pavilion, this fine wine, I didn't taste it well." ”
Mu Qing responded with a smile: "It's okay, if the girl likes it, there will be more time in the future, oh, the girl's clothes, I will let the maid wash them and send them to the Ling Wang's mansion." ”
"Then thank Lord Mu Pavilion first, it's getting late, the little woman will leave first, by the way, it's good to keep the account in the name of King Ling." After Ji Qianning finished speaking, she laughed maliciously.
Mu Qing also laughed: "Listen to the girl." ”
Ji Qianning said goodbye to Mu Qing and walked out of Qingxin Pavilion, the rain stopped, and she immediately asked the little maid to lead the horse and went straight to the Lingwang Mansion.
As soon as she entered the house, the maid told her that her uncle had invited her to go.
She didn't care about freshening up, and ran directly to Mo Lao's room, Mo Lao's door was wide open, and there was a candle flame inside, thinking that she had been waiting for her arrival.
Ji Qianning walked in, and before she could shout "uncle", she was pulled by Mo Lao to sit down next to the wooden case.
"Little sister, I have something to tell you."
Ji Qianning looked at her with a serious expression, and was a little nervous for a while: "Uncle, don't scare me." ”
Mo Lao patted her lightly on the head: "What do you think?" ”
Ji Qianning pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Who made you look so serious, by the way, tell me something." ”
Mo Lao shook his head helplessly: "I'm leaving." ”
Ji Qianning asked in surprise, "Where are you going?" ”
Mo Lao's expression suddenly showed a trace of sadness: "Come to think of it, your aunt's death day is coming, I will go back to pay tribute to her." ”
"When are you leaving?" Thinking of her uncle, Ji Qianning was also a little sad in her heart.
"Tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go pack my bags in a moment."
"What are you doing packing up?" Mo Lao knocked twice on Ji Qianning's head.
"It hurts." Ji Qianning pursed her lips again, "Come with you!" ”
"I'll go alone, you can stay in King Ling's Mansion for me, and wait for your Royal Highness King Ling to return in triumph."
"Uncle, what nonsense, it's always good to have someone with you."
"Why, you're still afraid that I, a bad old man, will be kidnapped halfway, and you don't know your uncle's skills." After speaking, he proudly stroked his beard.
Ji Qianning suddenly stepped forward and hugged him: "But uncle, I can't bear you." She was crying.
Mo Lao petted her head dotingly: "Be good, obedient, it won't be long before you can see her again." ”
Ji Qianning nodded.
"Perhaps, it will come earlier than your King Ling." Mo Lao teased her again.
Ji Qianning pushed him away and shouted angrily: "Uncle, I don't respect the old man." ”
