Chapter 135: Returning home
Since returning from the Xicheng River, Chen Jinye has never said half a word to Hongling, Hongling has been depressed and has stayed in the room without going out, the maid asked Chen Jinye if he wanted to ask Hongling to come out for dinner, Chen Jinye only glanced coldly at the direction of Hongling's room.
The maid couldn't figure out what Chen Jinye meant, so she went to the door to ask, and Hongling answered casually and then there was no follow-up, so when she had dinner at night, there were only Bai Ju and Chen Jinye in the hall.
Bai Ju looked at Chen Jinye's face was pale, and knew in his heart that it was related to Hongling, but Chen Jinye's expression was really ugly, and it was more serious than when he was in the palace a few days ago, teaching the dead a lesson.
Chen Jinye reprimanded Xiao Cai by himself, as if he had not been affected in the slightest, but the aura of the whole person had changed drastically.
The next day, Bai Ju sent the maid to get up early, when Hong Ling came to the hall, the sky was still bright, Chen Jinye had not gotten up, Bai Ju glanced at the direction of Chen Jinye's room, and slowly said to Hong Ling: "The prince's face is not good, your current expression is also like this, today you are going to leave Xicheng, and you will go back in the future to cherish it."
Hongling smiled at Bai Ju, with an indissoluble sorrow in her eyes, "Bai Ju, don't worry about us, you can take good care of yourself alone in Xicheng."
Looking at Hongling's awkward appearance, Bai Ju sighed slightly, and said slowly: "Your character is twisted, I'm afraid that the prince will be difficult to control, but anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, the prince puts you at the top of his heart, don't let him down."
Hong Ling smiled, turned around slowly, and looked at the scenery outside the door lightly, "It's hard to explain my affairs with him in a few words, but I myself am measured, you don't have to worry too much."
Seeing Hongling like this, Bai Ju stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Since this is the case, then I can do it myself, I will go to prepare the horses first, tell the soldiers to pack their bags, and leave when the hour comes."
Hongling bowed slightly, then sat on the seat and slowly poured herself a cup of hot tea, thinking that she would be a little hungry in the morning after being hungry all night, but she always had no appetite, the little maid put the hot porridge in front of Hongling, Hongling stared at it for a long time, no one knew what she was thinking, until she heard the movement in Chen Jinye's room, and then hurriedly poured the hot porridge water into her mouth.
Hurriedly got up and walked towards the small hall in the courtyard, the maid opened her mouth slightly to stop Hongling, but finally stopped her voice, because in the next second, Chen Jinye had already looked at the maids with cold eyes, as if to warn who dared to call her back.
Hongling sat in the pavilion, Chen Jinye sat in the hall, one was eating breakfast seriously, and the other was looking at the weeds in the garden blankly.
Bai Ju entered the courtyard and saw Hongling alone in the pavilion in a daze, her footsteps paused slightly, but she still strode in the direction of Chen Jinye, "Lord Wang, the carriages are ready, and the soldiers are ready to set off at any time."
"Send another carriage to send her away first, and send her directly to the back court, you know what I mean, right?"
Bai Ju was stunned for a moment and asked, "Doesn't the prince travel in the same car with his mother?" ”。
"I'll let you prepare the car!"
Chen Jinye's voice, which increased suddenly, shocked the people in the room, and even Hong Ling, who was far away in a daze in the courtyard, trembled, and a bitter smile slowly hung on the corner of her mouth.
Bai Ju didn't dare to disobey Chen Jinye's intentions, so he quickly walked towards the side of the main gate, and prepared another carriage, and after it was ready, he returned to the courtyard to lead Hongling into the carriage, Hongling carried her luggage and walked straight out of the palace without looking back.
After getting into the carriage alone, the groom drove the carriage and went out of the city slowly, Hongling leaned on the carriage obliquely, quietly listening to the sound of the carriage clattering forward, her heart was empty and empty.
The three days were quickly spent in emptiness, and as soon as Hong Ling entered the royal city, she was secretly sent to the palace court, and Zhen Hong also quietly returned to the palace from the temple to meet Hong Ling in the back court.
"Ling'er, it's been a month since you went here, what did you suffer?"
Looking at Zhen Hong's full smile, Hongling's heart suddenly warmed up, and she also smiled sweetly: "The queen mother is worried, we are doing well and have not suffered anything."
Zhen Hong patted Hongling's hand, looked at the flowers in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, don't hide it from me, did something unpleasant happen between you and Ye'er?" ”。
Hongling was stunned and waved her hand again and again: "The queen mother doesn't have it."
"Don't lie to me, if there is nothing, how can Ye'er let you come back alone"
Hong Ling, who had already forgotten a little, was reminded by Zhen Hong, and her heart suddenly filled with a strong bitterness, which she did not expect, after all, she had already made the decision to make a decision with Chen Jinye.
Zhen Hong looked at the embarrassed look on Hong Ling's face, and suddenly realized that she guessed correctly, slowly put her hand on Hong Ling's shoulder, and slowly patted it a few times, "Ling'er, I know that Ye'er has always been in love with that Yu family, but you don't have to worry, with the queen mother, no one can shake your status."
Zhen Hong's words made Hongling feel very moved, for so many years, since she came to this world, no one has ever given her such a big sense of security, Hongling's nose was sour, and she reached out and hugged Zhen Hong, Zhen Hong wondered slightly, and sighed a lot in her heart.
The woman in this palace does not have the love of her husband, how hard life is, and people with a discerning eye can see it clearly, but it is a pity that Ling'er is such a good child, helpless, born outside the palace but married into the royal family.
Zhen Hong shook her head slightly, slowly stroked Hongling's emaciated back, just quietly comforted, and cured Hongling without saying a word, Hongling leaned her head on Zhen Hong's shoulder, and the faint bitterness in her heart gradually dissipated, and after a long time, she accidentally fell asleep.
Chen Jinye's convoy entered the royal capital after half an hour of Hongling, and as soon as he entered the royal capital, he also drove towards the back court, these days in the carriage, Chen Jinye always couldn't help but recall Hongling's face, but the more he could afford it, the more uncomfortable his heart became, so the more he resented her.
He hurriedly entered the back court, in fact, he just wanted to take a look at her earlier, and when he came to the courtyard of the queen mother, Chen Jinye saw Hongling in her arms at a glance, he stepped in, she was still leaning on the shoulder of the queen mother, even Zhen Hong was slightly stunned, and looked down again and again, only to find that Hongling had fallen asleep with tears hanging on her face.
Zhen Hong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, Chen Jinye's heart shrank slightly, and he stepped forward to gently pick her up and put her on the recliner on the side, the tears on her cheeks had not completely dried up, Chen Jinye slowly touched it with his hand, and then retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
After a pause, he came to Zhen Hong, Zhen Hong took all Chen Jinye's movements into his eyes, and looked at it clearly, Chen Jinye's indifference to Hongling was already different from before he went to Xicheng, and the action of hugging Hongling with his arms was extremely gentle, for fear of waking her up, not to mention that he hadn't removed half of his eyes from Hongling's face since he entered the room.
"Ye'er, it's hard work, right?"
Chen Jinye shook his head slightly, and slowly sat opposite Zhen Hong, but looked at the teacup on the table without saying a word, Zhen Hong naturally knew that Chen Jinye was still concerned about Hongling, so he didn't have much nonsense, "Since you're back, let's take Ling'er back to rest earlier."
Chen Jinye's body stiffened, and he glanced up at Zhen Hong, "Queen Mother, Erchen will first go and report to his father what he has seen and heard, since Ling'er is asleep, let her fall asleep, and just go back by herself when she wakes up."
After that, Chen Jinye fled and strode out of the room, without giving Zhen Hong the slightest chance to speak, looking at the back of Chen Jinye who was far away, Zhen Hong only shook his head helplessly, and then locked his eyes on Hongling.
I don't know how long later, Hongling slowly woke up from the dream, and as soon as she saw the beautiful and very beautiful pearl on the stage, Hongling frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she had come to Zhen Hong's yard, and then looked back, but she happened to meet Zhen Hong's loving gaze.
Hong Ling was in a hurry, and accidentally rolled off the chair, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother is a son who is rude."
Zhen Hong couldn't help but cover her mouth, and the palace maid beside her hurriedly helped Hongling up, "Ling'er don't be too panicked."
Hongling hurriedly walked to Zhen Hong's side, smiling awkwardly as she walked, "Let the queen mother smile."
Zhen Hong waved her hand slightly, and said slowly: "Ye'er has already come, you should go back earlier."
Hongling was stunned for a moment, Chen Jinye had already come to Zhen Hong's yard, and he didn't even ask her to go with her, and then thought about it, yes, why call her, anyway, their relationship is already like this, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly, and he saluted Zhen Hong slightly, and then retreated: "The son is bothering the queen mother, so I will leave."
Hong Ling slowly withdrew from the courtyard, followed the guidance of the palace maid and got into the carriage outside the door, and then headed in the direction of the prince's mansion.
It's just that Hong Ling didn't notice that at this time, there was also a carriage falling in front of the prince's mansion, and just when she was absentmindedly walking towards the gate, the man who got off the carriage also followed her to the palace, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and the two collided like this.
Hong Ling was in a hurry, so she lowered her head and hit the man again, and the man pinched the jade pendant in his hand with a quick snap, and straightened the red by the way.
Hong Ling was shocked, but saw that the man was holding a jade pendant to observe, and from time to time he frowned, Hong Ling looked at the man, and then looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, the man blocked Hong Ling, and asked sonorously: "Where did you get this jade pendant?" ”。
