Chapter 188: Xia Yuan Festival (4)
Su Rou Jiaxing came to the river pond with Nan Jinyan, there was a big smooth stone on this side, the top was flat, slightly sloping, but it was quite spacious, just enough to sit two people.
Nan Jinyan propped up the stone with both hands, climbed up, sat on it leisurely, looked up at the starry night sky, and casually dragged a grass from the side and put it in his mouth.
"I almost forgot, thank you for sending your concubines on a swing today." Su Roujia smiled shyly, "However, why did His Highness suddenly give gifts to his concubines?" ”
Nan Jinyan pillowed her hands behind her head, curled her legs, lay down on the stone, and glanced at Su Roujia with a thief's heart, "The gift of the next Yuan Festival." ”
Gifts for the next metaverse? Su Roujia is angry and funny, she hasn't heard of giving gifts to the living on the next Yuan Festival, she Su Roujia is afraid that she is the only one, and she doesn't know whether to be surprised or happy? At this time, the mood is quite complicated.
Su Roujia's gaze involuntarily drifted to the swing, she was quite happy, but when she heard Nan Jinyan say that it was a gift for the next Yuan Festival, she couldn't like it in an instant, did she dare to sit on it and swing around? Don't shake yourself one day and shake yourself away.
"His Royal Highness's concubine accepted it, but this swing, or should someone dismantle it?" Su Roujia muttered weakly, "Strange and scary ......"
"Why?" Nan Jinyan looked at Su Roujia suspiciously, "Don't you like it a lot?" ”
Su Roujia originally wanted to say that it was unlucky, but after thinking about it, it was more important to be alive, so she changed her words again: "It's too precious." ”
"Actually, it's mainly because Bengong was careless and careless, and mistakenly threw away the green plum tree you sent, and this swing should be regarded as an apology."
The green plum tree was obtained by Su Roujia with a lot of effort, under the cover of the night, she stared at Nan Jinyan, and listened to him talk endlessly, she especially wanted to rush over and hit him twice, but she didn't dare.
The father-in-law walked from a distance with a scroll in his hand, "Your Highness! The father-in-law unfolded the scroll in front of Nan Jinyan and asked, "I don't know if this pair is feasible?" ”
Su Roujia glanced at it secretly, it was a picture of a beauty, but it was so strange, the beauty on this picture painted everything very well, except for the face, looking at the dress of this beauty, it was very gorgeous, could it be that this is the woman who Nan Jin couldn't ask for?
"Well, that's it." Nan Jinyan touched the beauty on the portrait, "Good life, take it and hang it up." ”
"Huh!" While scrolling through the painting, the father-in-law asked, "Your Highness, everything is ready, do you want to go and take a look?" ”
Nan Jinyan got down from the stone and said to Su Roujia: "There is something in the palace, take the first step, it's cold outside, you should go back to the dormitory as soon as possible to rest." ”
"Your Highness Xie......"
Nan Jinyan patted her father-in-law's shoulder, "This palace has to stay alone for a while, so you don't have to follow." ”
The father-in-law bowed and saluted, Su Roujia saw Nan Jinyan walking away, and grabbed her father-in-law, "Does the father-in-law know, who is on the portrait just now?" ”
"Crown Princess Qiqi, this is a long time, after all, it is His Royal Highness's private matter, and the slave does not dare to say more, let's say so, that noble man is the person who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been thinking about since he was a child, and he is thinking about it in his heart!"
After the father-in-law finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Su Roujia grabbed him again, "Then, why didn't that noble man paint his face?" ”
"Ouch, this slave doesn't dare to say, what else do you want to know, you might as well ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." After the father-in-law finished speaking, he saluted and left.
Su Roujia followed the direction that Nan Jinyan left, trotted and quietly followed, this is a side hall, there is only one way to come and go, she saw that there was a light inside, presumably Nan Jinyan must have come here.
She stood at the door of the side hall, gently pushed the door open a crack, and secretly looked into the hall, only to see Nan Jinyan sitting in the hall, looking at the painting and fascinated, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and love in her eyes.
Su Roujia felt very uncomfortable, could it be that Nan Jinyan couldn't forget that girl no matter what? She didn't want to think too much, but what she saw in front of her was always reminding her that she was just a substitute.
Thinking about it, his hand was brought to the door carelessly, "Who's where?" Nan Jinyan looked towards the door, Su Roujia hurriedly crept away, Nan Jinyan opened the door and came out, just to see Su Roujia's distant back.
Su Roujia ran back to the dormitory, threw herself on the bed, and didn't say a word, "What's wrong with the girl?" Mama approached her and asked, "Aren't you with Your Highness?" How did a man come back? ”
"Mama, I'm fine, I just want to be alone for a while...... Stand down. Su Roujia buried her face in the quilt.
Mama saluted and retreated silently with the maidservants, and Nan Jinyan walked over.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Mama took the maidservants to salute quickly, I didn't expect that the prince would come over so late, but Su Roujia didn't prepare anything, even dressed up...... Mama was very worried.
When Su Roujia heard Nan Jinyan coming, she just lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.
Nan Jinyan pushed open the door, slowly walked towards Su Roujia, sat down leisurely on the edge of the bed, and glanced at her dress exposed outside the quilt, "This palace knows that you are still awake, you went to the side hall just now?" ”
"Just passing by." Su Roujia rolled over and opened her eyes.
"That portrait was painted by Hongu."
Su Roujia let out a faint "oh", Nan Jinyan turned to the side slightly, looked at Su Roujia, and said softly: "That's the mother concubine of this palace." ”
"Mother?" Su Roujia sat up and looked at Nan Jinyan in surprise, "That's ...... Then why did Your Highness ......?"
Nan Jinyan stood up, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip calmly, "You want to ask, why didn't the palace paint the appearance of the concubine?" Is it? ”
"Why?"
"Because I don't know." Nan Jinyan put the cup on the table and squeezed it tightly, "On the day of the birth of this palace, the mother concubine died because of a blood collapse, so I have never seen her, I only know that she is Concubine Hui." ”
"Isn't there a portrait of the noble concubine in the palace?"
Nan Jinyan lowered his eyes and said with some loss: "This palace has found a lot of places and asked, but everyone doesn't know what the reason is, everything related to my mother and concubine is gone, and it seems that there has never been a Hui Guifei in this palace." ”
Su Roujia got off the bed, walked to Nan Jinyan and sat down, and gently held his hand, "Your Highness, don't be too sad, if your Royal Highness is unhappy, she will also be sad, Your Highness must be well, so that you can comfort your mother's spirit in the sky." ”
"There are rules in the palace that you can't worship privately in the palace, so the palace should go out of the palace on the Midyear Festival and go to Taihua Temple to pay tribute to the mother concubine, and want to do a ritual for the mother concubine." Nan Jinyan looked at Su Roujia, "You, are you willing to go with this palace?" ”
