Chapter 22: The Game
"Princess, the prince is back!"
When the maid came to pass the word, Ni Yan was sitting in front of the window of the room embroidering a purse, last night Feng Yumo did not return overnight, Ni Yan should not have known, because the two have always slept in separate rooms, but Ni Yan placed eyeliner next to Feng Yumo, Feng Yumo's whereabouts in the house, she has a clear grasp of all the whereabouts of Feng Yumo, for this matter, Feng Yumo has always turned a blind eye.
As she hurried to the living room, a feeling of disgust that had not been felt in a long time rushed over her again, and she had sworn that she would never let herself have this feeling again in her life since that day four years ago.
After looking at Situ Youning, who was gnawing on steamed buns, for a while, Ni Yan was attracted by the scars on Feng Yumo's hands, and she ran over with anxious eyes and took Feng Yumo's hand, "Lord Wang, what's the matter with your hands?" ”
"It's no big deal, Yan'er doesn't have to worry." As he spoke, he withdrew his hand from Ni Yan's hand.
Ni Yan just held Feng Yumo's hand, hanging in the air awkwardly.
"Princess, I'm sorry to interrupt." Situ Youning, who saw some hints of squatting, spoke out to ease the stiff atmosphere between the two.
"Who is this girl?" Ni Yan turned to look at Situ Youning with a smile on his face.
For the woman in front of him, Situ Youning's true feeling is: It is really a waste for such a beautiful person to stay by the side of this cold-blooded prince.
"Picked it up." Feng Yumo took a sip of tea as he spoke.
Feng Yumo's words made the two women stunned in place, for Situ Youning, under his calm appearance at this time, there was a heart that was about to be broken by anger.
And for Ni Yan, this is a sentence that he heard a long time ago, and it is also a sentence that marks the beginning of his nightmare, after so many years, he still hasn't forgiven himself.
"Thank you for picking up the little girl with your eyes, I think it's time for me to go home." Situ Youning smiled at Ni Yan, turned around and walked towards the door.
"How do you say you should explain this to your father?"
"I..."
"As long as you are willing to obediently follow me into the palace, I guarantee that your father will never pursue this matter."
Situ Youning's first reaction was Niu Er, and the scene of the two brothers and sisters splashing water that night surfaced in his mind again, although the emperor personally promised not to pursue it, but if he regretted it at that time, he couldn't do anything to him.
"I can solve my own affairs by myself, so I won't bother the prince." With that, he left the living room resolutely.
"Why did the prince bring a famous person into the palace?"
"A friend's commission." Feng Yumo smiled as he spoke, continuing to enjoy the fragrance of tea in the morning.
Before he could swallow the second sip of tea, Situ Youning's figure appeared in front of her again.
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Hehe... Lord Wang, I think it's better for me to go into the palace with you to meet my acquaintances. As he spoke, he looked at the door of the living room with a worried expression.
"Could it be that there is a demon out there that scares you like this?" Feng Yumo stood up and raised his right hand to support Situ Youning's chin.
Ni Yan, who was standing on the side, lowered his head and pinched his left arm with his right hand.
"You said I would help me when I entered the palace with you." Situ Youning gently dodged Feng Yumo's hand, his eyes full of pleading.
"Lord Wang, the second son of the Situ family asks to see you." At the same time as the butler's voice sounded, Situ Youning became even more nervous.
"Hehe..." Feng Yumo looked at Situ Youning with a smile, and Situ Youning also looked at him nervously, and finally he spoke, "Let him wait for me in the study." ”
Feng Yumo's words made Situ Youning breathe a sigh of relief, if Situ Muling knew that she was in this place, he would definitely catch her and go back and hand her over to Situ Hao.
The wicker gently brushed the window, the catkins blown off by the wind drew a circle of ripples on the lake, a pair of small feet wearing shoes embroidered with pale yellow flowers, happily stepped on the stone road next to the rockery, and inadvertently set their eyes on the window above the lake not far away, two handsome men were sitting by the window talking about something, this scene was so beautiful that it was like an ink painting, the breeze gently blew the bangs in front of her forehead, the smile at the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, and in the depths of her young heart, something was germinating.
There are two beautiful men sitting in front of the window, one is his brother, and the other...
With curiosity, the girl successfully stood on the stone embankment on the shore of the lake below the window, trying to hear Situ Muling's voice clearly.
"The emperor is very concerned about Ling Mei's current physical condition, I don't know how she is now?"
"Thank you for the care of the emperor and the prince, my sister is fine now, and that was the punishment she should have for making her family worry."
"Hehe... Mu Ling's indifference to her was beyond my expectations. ”
"I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and if I do something wrong, I should be held responsible."
The girl could barely hear the conversation between the two in the room clearly, and her face was satisfied.
"I'm here to ask Yumo, are you interested in participating in a game?"
"Oh? You've never let me down, I don't know what this time is about? ”
"About the housemate." Situ Muling said this sentence without hesitation.
"Hehe... It's interesting, then I can't wait to participate. ”
Feather ink? Someone dared to call her brother's name, on the one hand, the girl's interest in Situ Muling deepened a lot, and on the other hand, she was also very concerned about the 'sister' that the two people said, and accidentally fell into the water from the stone embankment only a few centimeters wide, in order not to let the two who heard the movement find themselves, she held it in the water for a while.
After Feng Yumo left the living room, Ni Yan took the initiative to take Situ Youning to take a good walk around the palace.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the princess, the little woman's name is Situ Youning."
"Ghosts?"
Ni Yan's reaction was exactly the same as Niu Er's reaction that night, Situ Youning, of course, you also know why she was puzzled, "The palace is different, it's really beautiful here." ”
"If my sister likes it, she can come over often to play in the future."
"Huh?" Situ Youning was a little surprised by what Ni Yan called him.
"Hehe..." Ni Yan stepped forward with a smile and took Situ Youning's hand, "When I first saw my sister, I felt very close to each other, if you don't mind, you can call me sister directly in the future." ”
"The women don't dare."
"Did I do something that scared my sister?" Ni Yan looked at Situ Youning in disbelief.
"No," after shaking his head vigorously, Situ Youning called out unnaturally, "Sister Princess." ”
"Hehe... Sister Princess's title is too strange, my name is Ni Yan, you can call me Sister Yan. ”
"Yes, Sister Yan."
"I'm so happy, I feel like I suddenly have a good sister."
"Youning too."
At this moment, a fragrance favored the two of them, Ni Yan's face suddenly became ugly, and Situ Youning looked at the source of the fragrance with doubts, it was a courtyard full of green bamboo, the courtyard door was locked with iron chains, the wooden door was covered with cobwebs, and the iron chains were also brown rust spots because they had not been moved for many years, Situ Youning's eyes quickly locked on the plaque above the gate, and the big words "Momeiju" appeared conspicuously in front of Situ Youning's eyes, she slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this familiar fragrance.
