Chapter Twenty-Three: Flirting
When the two arrived at the palace, it was already time.
Ming Ruonan was late with such fanfare. Even the guards at the palace gate looked at their carriage with an expression of "you can be late for a cup of tea, it's really useless".
"I said His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you ...... it"
Yuan Jing put his index finger to his mouth, and Ming Ruonan frowned and took the words back. Until they got out of the carriage and began to walk. Lintz cleared his throat quite discerningly, and whispered to the eunuch and palace maid beside him: "Do you have any eyes?" The crown prince and the crown princess are in love, why are you so close? ”
When the dignified female devil heard this, her face turned red, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unconsciously blushed at the root of his ears.
Yuan Jing coughed awkwardly, avoiding Ming Ruonan's eyes: "This Lintz, what kind of excuse do you think." ”
"Oh, so he's Linz."
The tips of Yuan Jing's ears turned red again.
"I said, His Royal Highness the Prince, what the hell is going on with you, one moment like this and one moment like that?"
"Which one?"
"It's obviously very powerful, why do you have to pretend that you don't know martial arts."
"Thank you, girl, for the compliment."
Ming Ruonan stared at his toes and said in his heart, it was really difficult to pry a word out of this person's mouth. This prince is really strange, stupid, it doesn't look like it, but how can a prince claim to be "below" all day long.
"Your Highness had better tell me honestly, or I'll ......"
"On the day of marriage, I will naturally tell you exactly as it is."
Ming Ruonan's originally menacing sentence was blocked again.
The two came to Jiang Yuan Palace as they spoke, and Concubine Zhuang pulled Ming Ruonan to sit beside her with a kind face, and asked for warmth.
"Jing'er is really blessed!"
Yuan Jing nodded, and returned to that cowardly appearance.
"Niangniang, it's all my fault for delaying the time to enter the palace."
"It's me...... didn't dare to wake up Miss Ming, no wonder Miss Ming. ”
"Hey, hey, our Jing'er will also feel sorry for people!"
Concubine Zhuang smiled heartily, Ming Ruonan had heard that Concubine Zhuang was taking care of all the big and small things in the inner palace, although she was not the most favored concubine, but the harem was managed by her in an orderly manner, so she was also very respected.
"Quick, Miss Ming, taste my new tea, how is it better than your southwest county."
Ming Zhili loves tea, so Ming Ruonan has followed his father since he was a child, and he has learned to taste it. The tea cup came to his mouth and tasted it carefully, but it had a different taste. It's just that when this tea is in, the blood on her body immediately has a strange feeling of rejection. Ming Ruonan's physique is different from ordinary people, which is why she can also practice cold ice palms as a woman. So as soon as I drank this tea, I felt that something was wrong.
She glanced around, and saw that the maid who was pouring tea looked at the teacup in her hand intentionally or unintentionally, and she immediately sent the teacup in the direction of the maid, and saw that the maid was very stiff in refilling the tea. She made up her mind, slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and gently forced the poisonous tea that had already set off a storm in her blood out of her body to condense into ice needles, flicked her wrist, and shot into the side of the maid's neck.
"Sss The maid couldn't help but scream, her hand shook, and the tea spilled directly on the low table.
The maid was so frightened that her face immediately changed color, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed; "Slaves should be damned!"
Concubine Zhuang frowned slightly, and then a spring breeze smile appeared on her face: "Let Miss Ming smile, and the subordinates are negligent in disciplining." ”
Ming Ruonan frowned, and her expression was embarrassed: "Guifei Niangniang, the people's daughter is fine, you must not punish this girl." ”
Concubine Zhuang took Ming Ruonan's hand, her eyes were full of kindness: "Good boy, no punishment." ”
Wait for Ming Ruonan and Yuan Jing to leave from Jiang Yuan Palace. They both changed their faces almost at the same time.
"I almost believed your submissive appearance."
"Why does Miss Ming want to make a pitiful appearance?"
As soon as Yuan Jing said this, the two of them were silent instantly, and the atmosphere around them was not embarrassing.
"I ...... I didn't mean that. ”
Ming Ruonan staggered like a deer in her heart, but the whole person was still stubborn, and said coldly: "Well, I understand." ”
The two walked awkwardly for a while, and Ming Ruonan remembered to get down to business.
"There's poison in that tea."
Yuan Jing: ......
"So Miss Ming watched her drink poisoned tea?"
Although Yuan Jing's voice was calm, Ming Ruonan could still hear his depression, and felt that it seemed to be funny to tease him: "Hey, then what can I do?" You're so far away from me, I can't ...... Huh? Where are you going? ”
"Go back to the East Palace."
"Eh, it's not ......" Ming Ruonan hurriedly pulled Yuan Jing's sleeve, "Your Highness, that ...... That ice cellar ......"
"Didn't I drink poisoned tea, I have to go back to the palace and wait for death." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was expressionless, and he had a cold face to shake off Ming Ruonan's arm.
"My good highness, I'll tease you, why can't our ice sect cure any poison?" Ming Ruonan laughed with him, pulled Yuan Jing's sleeve and shook it, "I'll go to the other courtyard later, I'll find someone to show you, it's okay, it's chronically poisonous, and you won't die for a while." ”
Yuan Jing: ......
The two of them come and go, and the eunuchs and palace maids who pass by can't help but look at it, thinking that the female devil is flirting with the stupid prince in the palace! It's really a big lace, and everyone can't help but take a few more looks, eager to get closer and listen to what they are talking about.
"So you poisoned the maid?"
"Hmm. Do you feel sorry for that girl? ”
Yuan Jing shook his head: "She was ordered to poison her, and sooner or later she will be exterminated, after all, only the dead will not reveal secrets." ”
When Yuan Jing said this, Ming Ruonan didn't know why the back of her neck was cold, and she shivered rarely: "Although Concubine Zhuang is not drinking the same pot of tea as us, I don't think it will be Concubine Zhuang." ”
"Because she's kind?"
"No, it feels like a ploy to kill two birds with one stone, let's die here, the concubine and we will finish together, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman." Although Yuan Jing was nodding, Ming Ruonan was keenly aware of something unusual, "You don't like the concubine?" ”
"I don't like everyone in this palace."
As soon as Ming Ruonan wanted to ask, Yuan Jing said softly: "It's here." ”
Linz looked around and made sure that no one was there before returning to the two men.
"Hold on."
Ming Ruonan shrugged his shoulders and was a little disdainful: "Actually, people are close, I can definitely detect it, what do you want Linz to guard?" ”
"Oh, why didn't you notice that I left last time?"
Ming Ruonan was so stunned that he had nothing to say, and with white eyes, Yuan Jing flicked his sleeves and was about to walk in.
Yuan Jing hurriedly grabbed Ming Ruonan: "This door is fake, you have to use a token." ”
Ming Ruonan was wondering, and saw Yuan Jing step forward and put the token in a depression on the wall next to the door, and after a while, the door disappeared out of thin air! Behind the so-called door just now was a steel knife. She had no doubt that if she had stepped in just now, these knives would have slashed at herself......
"What is this?"
"Phantom Stone."
"The phantom stone that can imitate all still lifes? That's not right, doesn't it mean that the four items used in the formation when Taizu ascended back then, except for the Tianhan Ice that was split into two and left a piece in the palace, the other three were all in the people? ”
Yuan Jing led Ming Ruonan towards the ice cellar: "This phantom stone is indeed good among the people, it was picked up by my fifth brother a few months ago. There is also Huangshi Yubi, which is also in the palace now. ”
Ming Ruonan paused, looked at Yuan Jing and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Ming Ruonan shook her head, still a little hesitant, she walked inward, her body found Tian Hanbing before her eyes.
Yuan Jing looked at Ming Ruonan's thoughts towards the cold ice of the sky, and said gloomily: "What you said yesterday that I hope we will be open and honest in the future, I have thought about it carefully. Yuan Jing suddenly turned around and looked at Ming Ruonan, and suddenly the distance was too close, and Ming Ruonan was so frightened that he took a step back.
Yuan Jing: "Before getting married, we should still take some time to talk." ”
"It's just you hiding it from me, and I don't hide anything from you."
"Oh? Miss Naming might as well tell me, why don't you want to get married? ”
"I didn't...... cough cough ......" Ming Ruonan flicked his sleeves and strode towards Tian Hanbing: "Okay, let's talk, whoever is afraid of whom, you must have more secrets than me." ”
Yuan Jing shook his head helplessly, and looked at Ming Ruonan sitting firmly on the cold ice, a little surprised: "Miss Ming recognized the cold ice at a glance?" ”
"You look at these ice cubes, they may all look similar, but, I have been practicing all year round, and the cold in my body has already sensed it." Seeing that Yuan Jing was dressed thinly, Ming Ruonan frowned and asked, "Your Highness is not cold?" ”
"It's okay, I have a divine martial body."
"Do you have Hazi?"
Yuan Jing was also stunned, what kind of divine power does this Ming Ruonan have, why can't he hide it every time he sees her...... He coughed with his fist on the side of his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "I have a miraculous power to protect my body......"
Ming Ruonan blinked her eyes, always feeling that something was wrong. She meditated on the edge of the ice, feeling refreshed, and after a moment she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised her head, and showed a bright smile.
Yuan Jing was facing these eyes, his heart was like a drum, and his ears were hot, although he knew that such an expression was definitely not a good thing, but he still couldn't control himself.
"What's wrong?"
After a stick of incense, Yuan Jing looked at Ming Ruonan, who was trying to cut the cold ice, and felt that his brain must have been frozen......
