Chapter 4 The cold-faced prince Meng Changli
Early the next morning, Ami left the drunken house.
She greeted people all the way and wandered to the door of King Ning's mansion.
Last night, Xiaolian did not escape the doom of continuing to rise and fall.
Ami stood behind the counter for a long time before she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to know where this prince lived!
She greeted Xiaolian with a pleasant face, and Xiaolian looked at her with a pleasant face, and was naturally full of joy.
Because in this case, Ami will let her go back to rest early or reward her with a little pocket money, etc., in short, it will not be a bad thing.
So when she heard Ami say that she should investigate this prince, her little face was wrinkled.
The prince is also a royal person, and she always asks people like this and thinks she has bad intentions...... Fortunately, Ami has already figured out a countermeasure.
She looked at Xiaolian seriously, "Silly girl, you go and ask to see Changxian, right?" ”
Xiaolian couldn't refute it, and went to King Yi's mansion alone.
Finally, in a long sigh, he returned to the drunkard house.
"This ancestor of your family is more diligent in changing goals than I am in changing clothes!"
At this time, Ami stood still in front of the door of King Ning's Mansion, knocked lightly on the door a few times, no one paid attention, and knocked a few more times, and then someone came to open the door.
The one who opened the door was an old man, who should be the housekeeper of the palace or something, who looked quite kind and spoke quite kindly, "The girl is ......"
Ami smiled slightly, "That's right, I picked up an object yesterday, maybe it was the prince who fell, and I need to hand it over to the prince by hand, and I bother the housekeeper to announce it." ”
The butler hesitated for a moment, but still smiled kindly, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what is it, if it is not important, the old slave can hand it over." ”
Yes, after all, the palace is not an ordinary people's house, and it is not easy to enter.
Ami lowered her eyes, smiled softly, took out the jade pendant from her arms, and handed it to the old butler, "That's it, it should be very valuable, so I sent it over early in the morning." ”
The old housekeeper took a look at it and immediately recognized this jade pendant, which was clearly worn by his own prince.
Every prince has a piece of this jade, which he has been carrying since birth, and is a symbol of royal status.
He looked at Ami, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he turned sideways and made a gesture of please, "Girl, please." ”
Ami was a little surprised, and actually let her in after taking a look? Isn't King Ning already informed?
Ami didn't think much about it and followed into the palace.
The old butler closed the door, walked in front and led the way, and took Ami all the way to the palace parlor and left.
At this time, there was another person in the living room - the fifth prince that Ami had only inquired about yesterday.
The fifth prince turned his back to the door, his posture was upright, he heard the movement behind him, turned around, and was slightly surprised when he saw Ami.
Her eyes swept over the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes were slightly dark, "Why is the third brother's jade pendant here with you?" ”
Ami shook the jade pendant in her hand, and of course, "He landed in the drunkard's house last night." ”
Seeing this fifth prince again, she couldn't help but sigh a little. When I first saw him, the cold light and the moon, compared to the brilliance of the moon, crushed the stars in the sky, goodbye, probably because of his circumstances, he felt lonely for no reason, what a peerless person he should be, such an opportunity, I don't know why.
There was silence on both sides, and there were no more words.
After a while, there were footsteps approaching, and the two of them looked at the door together and saw King Ning, still dressed in white.
When Changning saw Ami, he smiled at her lightly, and then walked straight to King Rui and handed out an envelope, "This is what I sent someone to find out in the past few days, you can take it back and take a look first." ”
King Rui took it and bowed his head gently, "I'm tired of Brother Wang." ”
Without too many words, he walked towards the door, and when he passed Ami, he seemed to glance at her nonchalantly.
Changning watched him leave, smiled at Ami, and apologized slightly, "Changli has left his mother since he was a child, and his temperament is inevitably a little cold, so you don't have to care too much." ”
Ami was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the early death of Princess Rui.
She blinked, unconcerned, "No." You...... Don't you ask me what I'm doing here? ”
Her eyes were shining, and she looked at Changning very naughtily.
Changning frowned, pretending to think, "Could it be ...... Didn't you come to return my jade pendant? ”
He said as he glanced at Ami's hand with his eyes.
Ami's smile was magnified, bright and moving, "Oh~ pay you back, I won't return it next time I fall there, it's worth a lot of money." ”
Changning took it and smiled, "I heard that there is a lantern festival on the bank of the Huai River tonight, is the white girl interested?" ”
Ami was stunned, and King Ning ...... Is this inviting me?
She didn't answer immediately, but just looked at King Ning with some inquiry, because she didn't have any interest in the Lantern Festival, and at the same time had some doubts about King Ning's words, the two only met for the second time, how could they take the initiative to invite her to the Lantern Festival?
Just when she hesitated, the warm voice came to her ears again, "I wonder if the white girl can go with her face?" ”
Ami raised her eyes, met his warm eyes, and responded cheerfully, "Okay." ”
Such a beautiful person, there is no reason to refuse, Ami thinks so.
At night, people came and went on the banks of the Huai River, mostly men and women traveling together, and the streets were crowded with small vendors selling lanterns.
The so-called lantern festival is actually some crazy men and women, pinning their thoughts on a small lantern, and then quietly watching their lanterns drift away with the waves of the Huai River.
In the more than a year since Ami came to Anling, she has heard of many lantern festivals, but she has only been there once.
At that time, she thought that the lantern festival was like what was often shown in TV dramas, the lights were dim, the poetry was hazy, handsome men and beautiful women, affection, lion dance, and it was not lively, but she really saw it, and it was fake to say that she was not disappointed.
She never likes to entrust her fate to anyone or anything, because since she was a child, she has been a entrusted existence, and she has to fight for everything by herself, and she can't fake others at all.
Ami followed Changning and didn't show much joy.
Changning looked at her, with a smile on the corner of his lips, "What?" Do you not like such lanterns? ”
Ami didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "I really don't like it very much, I just fight for what I want, and I make a wish on a small lantern, and I can't change anything." ”
Chang Ning was silent for a moment and smiled, "These words, Chang Li also said. At that time, he ...... Just left his mother, this child has liked to hold things in his heart since he was a child, and during that time he locked himself in the house all day long, ignoring anything, I was worried that he was holding back something, so I brought a lantern and pulled him to the imperial garden, but he, after watching it for a long time, said that what he wanted, he would take it himself. ”
Ami turned her head and saw his gentle eyebrows, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory, extraordinarily peaceful, extraordinarily ...... Distant.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, and asked casually, "You have a good relationship with the fifth prince?" ”
Changning came back to his senses, glanced at her, and his smile remained unchanged, "After his mother left, Chang Li grew up next to my mother, so he was naturally more kind." ”
The open and secret battles in the royal harem have been an epic drama since ancient times, and the mother of King Rui, I am afraid that she is also famous, and she died in this golden and brilliant deep palace compound, but she can enter the palace, and there is room for maneuver.
She suddenly began to wonder if her choice was right or wrong.
"Since you've come here, it's not a pity to have a thought."
Ami came back to her senses, looked at the lotus leaf lantern in front of her, took it, raised her eyes to his clear eyes, and nodded with a chuckle.
The lanterns gradually drifted away with the flow of water, Ami closed her eyes slightly, her beautiful face seemed to carry some expectations, the hair on her sideburns caressed her cheeks, with a mesmerizing hazy beauty, Changning stood aside, chuckling at her, her hair was lightly raised, as if everything was so quiet.
That night, no one knew what Ami had made a wish.
It's just that after a long time, Ami remembered, always smiling and sighing, I knew that this lantern was so smart, I should really make a big wish.
But sometimes, the trajectory of fate has been inadvertently criss-crossed, how can a small lantern be changed?
