Volume 1: The Palace, Chapter 59
Lu Ziyue said: "It's called Ning Jingrong, I heard that she is the most favored granddaughter of the Ningguo Mansion, and the people in the mansion love her very much, I think it's because of this, so she didn't have any worries when she bullied Xiao Qi." ”
Lu Ziyue picked up the spoon and drank porridge again, Shen Xie's heart was even more helpless, he was not only familiar with the name Ning Ningrong, but there was even a past between him and Ning Ning Rong, he was not a merciless person, even if Ning Ning Rong really offended Lu Ziyue, he couldn't let Ning Ning Rong really be.
He picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, and also gave Lu Ziyue a piece of sour radish: "So what do you mean?" ”
"I heard that she had an adult affair with the second son of the Rite Ministry Shangshu family? But if you don't really understand it, you say, if you give marriage to the two of them, what impact will it have on the court? ”
Lu Ziyue raised his head and asked him, the look in his eyes was very serious, and there was no joke.
Shen Xie was stunned: "Ning Jingrong doesn't seem to have offended you. ”
"Of course I know that she hasn't offended me, the reason why she is like this is just because she is upset about Xiao Qi, but looking at what you mean, it seems that you don't want me to target her, or do you think I'm making trouble like this?"
She really didn't have the heart to eat this time, looking at Shen Xie's expression, with a woman's intuition, she felt that there seemed to be some unclear relationship between him and Ning Ningrong.
Although Shen Xie didn't say it directly, Lu Ziyue felt that her heart had cooled, and she sighed: "That's it, I can't explain today's matter to you, I will solve Xiao Qi's matter by myself, I don't ask you to help me with one or two, I hope you don't do anything to stop me at that time." ”
Shen Xie now understood what she meant, Lu Ziyue must be unfavorable to Ning Jingrong, but he didn't figure out what the specific reason was now, it couldn't be just because of Xiao Qi, the relationship between Lu Ziyue and Xiao Qi was not good enough.
His mind is deep, and he can't help but think about the reason for the matter.
But Lu Ziyue is obviously unhappy now, and he doesn't know what to say to reduce her anger a little, so he can only soothe and say: "I know that there is a conflict between the two of them, but both of them are still children, if there is really something to try to communicate, there is no need to make trouble to the extent that everyone knows, and there is no need to ruin the happiness of other women's lives because of a trivial matter, the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites has been married last year, and his wife was born into a wealthy family, It is absolutely impossible to be a concubine. ”
"Before I said what my purpose was, you guessed it, and worried about her? Shen Xie, why the two of us were able to live in harmony after that incident was because I knew that you were sincere to me and had no thoughts about other women, so I was willing to continue to live with you, but now you tell me that your heart seems to be pretending to be someone else? ”
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she and Shen Xie had been married for five years, and in these five years, Shen Xie had never been interested in other women, even if an official stuffed women into the house, he would never look at them when he had no choice but to take them.
And at the first opportunity, they will be sent out of the house.
Lu Ziyue always thought that the two of them could fall in love with each other like this, but when everything came to this year, it seemed that everything had changed.
Shen Xie didn't think that she would think about so many things, and she thought more and more outrageously, he looked at her angry look, felt a pain in his heart, and shook his head: "Between me and her is not as you think, Ning Ning Rong is just a little sister to me, the reason why I don't want you to hurt her is because she is the only heir of Ning Guogong's generation, and she is Ning Guogong's hope, no matter what aspect you think about, Ning Ning Rong can't be a concubine for others, and the object of being a concubine is still Ning Guogong's sworn enemy." ”
He got up from his seat and walked to Lu Ziyue, pressed her shoulder with his hand, the two looked at each other, and he said: "You don't have to do this kind of thankless thing, if you really don't like her, I will let the people below seal her news in the future, as long as you can't hear her news, you won't be angry." ”
Shen Xie's attitude made Lu Ziyue more and more chilled, she didn't want to continue to sit here and listen to him, after listening to it too much, she felt very heartbroken, in fact, she had already decided not to care, she had already decided that the relationship between the two people would not be as close as before, but at this moment, she still couldn't suppress the sadness.
Shen Xie said that he just regarded her as a sister, but if there was really nothing between the two of them, why did Shen Xie care so much about her, so he didn't want to have a conflict between himself and her?
She took a deep breath, then brushed away his hands that were pressing on his shoulders, stood up through the table and said, "Breakfast is almost over, you continue to look at your stuff here, I'm tired and I'm going back to rest." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, Shen Xie knew that she was in a bad mood, of course it was impossible to indulge her to go alone, Mu Hua was not near the pavilion, and he didn't know where to go.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, and used a little strength on it: "Mu Hua is not here now, I don't worry about you going back alone, if you really want to leave, let me send you back, if you don't want me to be with you, just wait for Mu Hua to come back." ”
He spoke patiently to her.
Shen Xie was also a little angry at this time, but he had been worried about Lu Ziyue's emotions and the child in his belly, he knew that Lu Ziyue couldn't move casually, and he also knew that she was not in good health.
"There's nothing to wait for, anyway, it's just a matter of walking a few steps in this courtyard, or do you think that what will I do behind your back when I go back, you don't worry about me, so you keep wanting Mu Hua to spy on me by my side?"
Lu Ziyue originally wanted to reach out and shake Shen Xie's hand away, but Yu Guang saw a maid who looked a little similar to Ah Pei walking towards them with a plate of fruits, she felt that this maid seemed familiar and very familiar, but she couldn't say where she had seen it.
In this way, Lu Ziyue guessed in his heart that this person should be Ah Han, Ah Pei's sister.
The more she said, the more outrageous she became, and even more people didn't know how to answer than just now.
Shen Xie lowered his head and was about to say two heavy words, but he saw a few red marks on Lu Ziyue's wrist that he was holding, as if it was caused by his excessive strength just now.
Shen Xie felt a little guilty in his heart, and his voice softened: "I never thought of letting Mu Hua spy on you, let her stay by your side just worry about your safety, if you don't want her to follow you all the time, just change someone, there are so many maids in the Regent's Palace, you can follow you whoever you want." ”
There was a hint of coaxing in his voice as he spoke, and there was some suppressed anger in those eyes.
Lu Ziyue is not a fool, and she is not unaware of words and feelings, she can see all those things in Shen Xie's eyes, her heart is cooling little by little, but a smile appears on her face, she half turned her body to look at Ah Han, who was frightened because of the quarrel between the two of them, with some mockery between her eyebrows: "What is your intention to stand there with a fruit plate for a long time but not come?" ”
Lu Ziyue's words were not good, and Ah Han was also a little frightened by her appearance, she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Shen Xie saw this little maid, but she had always been submissive, so she didn't take her seriously, but she didn't expect Lu Ziyue to see it.
Shen Xiezheng got up and said, "You come here." ”
Shen Xie is in a bad mood now, and his attitude of speaking is also frightening, and his voice is cold.
The maid raised her eyes in horror to look at him, and didn't dare to step forward for a long time, Lu Ziyue waved her hand impatiently: "Put your fruit plate with money and let the palace take a closer look at you, the prince just said a few words, can you still scare your guts?" ”
She had said this, and the maid had no choice but to come forward with her head bowed with a fruit plate, her head was so low that she did not dare to raise her head to look at the two of them.
Lu Ziyue frowned, Lin Yi said that Ah Han would be a hub for her to contact outside, but looking at her appearance today, she didn't seem to be very smart.
Shen Xie didn't have the heart to talk to others, he sat on the side and looked at the maid: "What's your name?" ”
"The slave maid's name is Ah Han, she is the girl in the dining room, Sister Mu Hua said to let the slave and maid come over to bring the fruit plate to the prince and the princess, this fruit is just cut, very fresh, and there is some crushed ice on it, which can maintain the fragrance of the fruit."
Ah Hsu was talking about where she was in charge, and she didn't look so cowardly.
Lu Ziyue nodded: "You raise your head and let this palace take a closer look at you." ”
She didn't really see it just now, and now she wants to take a serious look at what Ah Han looks like, whether she is really very similar to Ah Pei.
Lu Ziyue's hands trembled slightly, looking at Ah Han, expecting her to raise her head.
Shen Xie felt her strangeness, and was a little surprised why she was so out of shape, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, are you not in good health?" ”
"It's okay, I just think this little girl is very interesting, and the people I see on weekdays are different, so I'm a little interested." Lu Ziyue smiled again.
Shen Xie was not interested, he sat back in his seat and drank tea.
Ah Han raised her head timidly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, like a frightened fawn.
The moment Ah Han raised his head, Lu Ziyue's heart was directly hit, Ah Han's appearance is actually not like Ah Pei at all, although Ah Pei has a lonely background, but he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has a sense of arrogance on his body, coupled with his delicate appearance, that arrogance makes her even more dusty.
