Chapter 53: Farewell
On the second day after Jian Xiaozhu lay on the bed to recuperate, Murong Yi took Yuan Heng to the Condensing Frost Palace. Seeing Jian Xiaozhu lying on the bed, Yuan Heng said with some embarrassment: "Miss Zhang, I'm really embarrassed to have brought you such a big trouble this time." ”
I didn't expect this noble prince to take the initiative to come and say such a thing, and the resentment in Jian Xiaozhu's heart disappeared a lot, and he waved his hand again and again: "The sixth prince is serious, and the slave and maid will be fine for a few days." ”
Yuan Heng sighed: "I didn't expect things to develop like this. I admire your piano skills, Miss Zhang, so out of love, I want to take you to Xiyun Kingdom, and I can often listen to you play the piano. It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Zhang, you are already interested in someone. ”
"Huh?" Jian Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, remembering that Bai Ningshuang said to Murong You that her crush was Zhu Yan. This made Jian Xiaozhu quickly look at Murong Yi who was standing beside Yuan Heng, but Murong Yi had a gentle smile in his eyes, and no other expression appeared on his face. This made Jian Xiaozhu feel faintly disappointed in her heart for a moment, but soon, she was frightened by this thought of hers.
It's just that since Bai Ningshuang said the words, Jian Xiaozhu didn't dare to explain to Yuan Heng, so he could only bypass this topic and say, "Rong Gongzi's piano skills are above me, and far surpass me." There are already people like Rong Gongzi around the six princes, so it's nothing for me to have one less. ”
Hearing Jian Xiaozhu's words, Yuan Heng smiled and said, "Miss Zhang is really an interesting woman. To be honest, it was Xiuyuan who appreciated Miss Zhang's music after listening to it, so I hoped that Miss Zhang could go to Xiyun Country with us. It's just that I didn't expect that my own thoughts would bring such big trouble to Miss Zhang. When Xiuyuan knew about this, he blamed me. ”
Jian Xiaozhu understood that this Yuan Heng didn't ask the Empress Dowager to marry her because he fell in love with her. Yuan Heng wanted to take her away, just to make Rong Xiuyuan happy. For a while, Jian Xiaozhu began to make up the relationship between the two in his mind. Could it be, Rong Xiuyuan is Yuan Heng's male pet, right?
I didn't expect that a man as handsome as an immortal like Rong Xiuyuan would be like this. This made Jian Xiaozhu sigh faintly. And Murong Yi took in Jian Xiaozhu's expression and asked worriedly, "Xiaozhuzi, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Nothing!" Jian Xiaozhu shook his head, and then said to Yuan Heng: "If I have the opportunity, I can talk to Gongzi Rong about all the qin music I know." In a few days, he would be able to learn these tunes. ”
But Yuan Heng said: "I'm afraid I can only wait for next time." Miss Zhang, I came here today to say goodbye to you. ”
Jian Xiaozhu looked at Yuan Heng suspiciously, so Yuan Heng said, "Xiuyuan and I will leave Dongyuan Country tomorrow." So before leaving, I'll take him to say goodbye to you. Xiuyuan thinks that we have brought you such a big trouble, so I hope you don't blame him. ”
Jian Xiaozhu: "Of course I don't blame him. You didn't mean it, so I guess I'm unlucky. ”
Yuan Heng nodded: "Miss Zhang is really an open-minded woman. ”
After saying that, Yuan Heng smiled at Jian Xiaozhu and left the room. It's just that after Yuan Heng walked outside the door, Murong Yi said to him: "You wait for me outside for a while, I still have a few words to say to Xiao Zhuzi." ”
After speaking, Murong Yi, who walked to the door, turned around and returned to Jian Xiaozhu's bedside, and whispered to her, "I haven't told your second brother about your injury." However, what is going on between you and Zhu Gongzi? ”
Hearing Murong Yi ask about this, Jian Xiaozhu only felt a kind of dumb eating coptis, and had a feeling of unspeakable bitterness. So she could only whisper: "This is what Bai Guifei meant, Zhu Gongzi and I should both be ...... at present None of that means. ”
Murong Yi looked at Jian Xiaozhu, shook his head and sighed: "Xiaozhuzi, the girl's family, don't be shy, I'm not an outsider, not to mention Zhu Gongzi's talent." ”
Jian Xiaozhu was anxious, but remembering that this was the Condensing Frost Palace, he still lowered his voice as much as possible and said, "I swear, there is really nothing between me and Zhu Gongzi." When Zhu Gongzi comes back, I think he will find an opportunity to explain it clearly to the concubine. Besides, I'm still young, why should I find a partner so early! I want to go home early and enjoy myself! ”
"That's right." Murong Yi nodded, and a narrow smile suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Yes, our little bamboo is still young. ”
After speaking, Murong Yi gently put his hand on Jian Xiaozhu's head and rubbed her fluffy hair: "Since you want to go home so much, I will definitely find an opportunity to help you." ”
Jian Xiaozhu was moved: "King Ning, you are so good." ”
Murong Yi smiled, and then said, "I'll go first, after all, it's not good to be alone and widowed, and it's not good to be in the same room for a long time." ”
Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Indeed." ”
When leaving, Murong Yi said to Jian Xiaozhu: "I am leaving, it is estimated that it will take a long time to come back." The border side was attacked by the Beisu, and your second brother and I were going to lead troops to resist the invasion of the Beisu. If it goes well, maybe we can come back sooner for the New Year. ”
Jian Xiaozhu: "It will be!" Be ye in peace. ”
Murong Yi smiled: "It will be safe." You have to take care of yourself too. ”
With that, Murong Yi nodded slightly to Jian Xiaozhu and left the house.
After Murong Yi left, Jian Xiaozhu put his hand on the top of his head where Murong Yi had touched it, only to feel that there was still residual warmth in the place he touched that had not dissipated.
Jian Xiaozhu was lying on the bed for a while and enjoyed the days when he was able to stretch his hands for food, and when he could finally get out of bed and walk around, the deep winter season had also arrived.
It snowed outside, and as far as the eye could see, the entire palace was wrapped in endless silver and white, like a fairy tale crystal city.
Putting on a thick cotton coat and walking out of the house, a quiet fragrance came, and Jian Xiaozhu saw that it was the plum blossoms in the yard. In the kitchen, the aroma of food came from inside. Jian Xiaozhu just wanted to go to the kitchen to see what the cook of the Condensation Palace was cooking, when he saw Bai Condensation Standing at the door of the dormitory. When she saw Jian Xiaozhu, she smiled at Jian Xiaozhu: "Yunzhu, you are finally getting better." ”
At lunchtime, Bai Ningshuang unprecedentedly asked Jian Xiaozhu to accompany her to eat, and handed Jian Xiaozhu a bowl of pork ribs and lotus root soup: "Your body is just right, you need to make up for it." ”
"Thank you, mother!"
Jian Xiaozhu said flatteredly.
"Ayan wrote to me that he couldn't come back during the Chinese New Year."
Unexpectedly, Bai Ningshuang suddenly mentioned Zhu Yan, Jian Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, and then gave a vague "um". And Bai Ningshuang sighed: "Alas, I originally thought that everyone could have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." ”
After that, Bai Ningshuang took a sip of the soup, but put it down with a frown, and said to Jian Xiaozhu: "Recently, I always feel that the dishes in the kitchen have become a little greasy. ”
Jian Xiaozhu drank the soup in the bowl, but felt that it was no different from the dishes he had eaten all along, and there was no greasy feeling. And Bai Ningshuang sandwiched a few greens, but halfway through eating, he suddenly gagged.
Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly got up and asked, "Guifei Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Bai Ningshuang waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, it should be cold and my appetite is not good." ”
But a question suddenly arose in Jian Xiaozhu's heart, so she stepped forward and took Bai Ningshuang's pulse according to the method taught by Zhang Tiande. In Bai Ningshuang's puzzled eyes, Jian Xiaozhu's face was first surprised, and then a smile bloomed.
"Congratulations Niangniang, you are happy!"
