Chapter Eighty-Two: Night Walking
In the afternoon, Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi went to visit Wen Zhiyu together, and when the two arrived at the East Palace, they saw Wen Zhiyu and Wen Zhiqian playing chess.
Wen Zhiyu's complexion looked much better, and when he saw Lianzhi and Wen Yunxi, he immediately put down the chess pieces and got up with a smile: "You two still came to see me?" ”
"I haven't come to see the prince's brother since I returned to the palace, and I feel uneasy." Wen Yunxi asked people to put down the supplement, "You played chess with Brother Zhiyan, who won?" ”
Lianzhi looked at the chess game: "Yunxi, the fifth prince doesn't seem to be going very well now." ”
"Brother Zhiyan's chess skills are not as good as Brother Prince's, and it's normal that things don't go well." Wen Yunxi sat down, looked at the pastries on the table, picked up a piece and started eating.
Wen Zhiqian also had no intention of playing chess: "Now the three of you will join forces to bully me." ”
"Brother Zhiyan, it's not that I'm bullying you, you usually play chess with Brother Prince, you lose more and win less." Wen Yunxi complained.
"Fan Ninghuai is also here today, have you ever met him?" Wen Zhiqian asked.
Wen Yunxi nodded: "We also had breakfast together." ”
"You two have breakfast with Fan Ninghuai?" The expression on Wen Zhiyan's face froze a little.
Wen Yunxi hurriedly explained: "Brother Zhiyan, don't think too much, at that time, Wanyang and I met the eldest brother and the second emperor brother before they came out of the Yang Palace, and the two of them were walking around with the regent, so they had breakfast together." ”
"What does the Lord Regent say?"
"That regent doesn't talk a lot, but listening to him, I really want to meet the prince's brother."
Wen Zhiyu was a little surprised: "He is so anxious to see me?" ”
Wen Yunxi thought about it carefully: "It's not a hurry, but the prince's brother is the one who married Wanyang, and it is normal for him to want to meet." ”
"Wen Yunxi, I can't stop your mouth if I eat." Lianzhi stuffed a piece of pastry into Wen Yunxi's mouth, Wen Yunxi was speechless, stared at Lianzhi, and Lianzhi smiled.
"Since the two of you have had breakfast with them, then you can accompany us for dinner today before leaving." Wen Zhiqian said, Wen Yunxi wanted to say something, but there was a pastry in her mouth, so she could only nod in agreement.
Wen Yunxi was very interested in playing chess, and pestered Wen Zhiqian to teach her to play chess, and it happened that Wen Zhixi took Lianzhi for a walk in the East Palace when she was idle.
"Fan Ninghuai didn't embarrass you, did he?" Wen Zhiyu asked.
Lian Zhi knew that Wen Zhiyu cared about herself: "Even if he embarrasses me, I am not afraid of him." ”
"Your marriage is approaching, are you ready?" Wen Zhiyu asked, he asked very seriously.
Lian Zhi stopped and looked at Wen Zhiyu: "I have been prepared since the day I came to Xichu. ”
Wen Zhiyu smiled: "I shouldn't have asked this question. ”
"It's nothing, it's normal for you to be worried. It's just that I see that Emperor Chu is so guarded against you now, and it may not be a good thing for you to marry me. ”
Wen Zhiyu didn't answer Lianzhi's words: "My father specially set up a banquet for Fan Ninghuai's arrival, but it was quite special. ”
"What do you mean?" Lianzhi was a little curious.
"Father plans to let Fan Ninghuai meet the sons of the Western Chu family, the purpose is not to be said, you should also understand."
Emperor Chu's move was nothing more than to show Fan Ninghuai the demeanor of a man in Western Chu. Lian Zhi was worried in her heart, she knew Fan Ninghuai's ability very well, and hoped that Emperor Chu would not be embarrassed at that time.
This afternoon passed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, Lian Zhi looked at the dishes on the table and looked at Wen Zhiyu with some surprise.
Wen Zhiyu asked, "What, don't you like it?" ”
Lian Zhi shook her head, half of the dishes on the table were her favorite dishes, and the other dishes were also in line with Wen Yunxi's taste, Wen Zhiyu knew that Wen Yunxi's taste was not strange, but how could she understand her preferences?
Wen Zhiqian looked at the dishes on the table: "Third brother, you are too partial, I have so many favorite dishes, why do you only ask the small kitchen to make one or two dishes, which is so good for Yunxi and Wanyang?" ”
Wen Zhiqian didn't know what Lianzhi liked to eat, but he knew at a glance that half of the dishes on the table must be Lianzhi's favorite food, after all, it was rare to see these dishes on the table before.
"You've eaten here so many times, what's wrong with wronging you once?" Wen Zhiyu teased.
Lianzhi asked, "How do you know that I like to eat these dishes, I never told you." ”
"You've told me everything, what else do you want me to do, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to tell the kitchen directly?" Wen Zhiyu explained, "I've had dinner with you a few times before, and you like to order these dishes. ”
Lianzhi knew that it was not only that, I was afraid that Wen Zhiyu would notice which dish he usually ate a few more bites, so he also understood his taste.
The four of them had dinner together, Wen Zhiyu wanted to send Lianzhi back, but Lianzhi refused: "Your injury is not healed yet, don't hurry up and rest, I will go with Yunxi, and there are so many palace people following, what are you worried about?" ”
Wen Zhiyu thought for a while: "Since that's the case, then I won't send you." ”
Wen Zhiqian still had to leave the palace, and he didn't go along with Wen Yunxi and Lianzhi, so in the end, Wen Yunxi and Lianzhi left the East Palace together.
Wen Yunxi ate a little too much at night, so she walked slowly, saying that she wanted to eat.
"Wanyang, do you think that if I continue to eat like this, will I become a big fat man?" Wen Yunxi was a little worried.
Lian Zhi shook his head a little helplessly: "No, you are already thin, and you really don't know where all the food you used to eat has gone." ”
"Actually, I didn't eat this before, but since you came, I've been able to eat more than before." Wen Yunxi added, "But my mother has been very happy to see me like this recently, and I was afraid that I would fall down when I was blown by the wind." ”
"You used to be too thin."
"Speaking of which, I think of a man."
"Who?"
"Ji Nanyi, the son of the Pingbohou Mansion, how many sins do you say he has been bad since he was a child?" Thinking of Ji Nanyi, who was emaciated, Wen Yunxi's heart suddenly swelled with sadness, "With his family background, he should have been the proud son of heaven, but because of his illness, he lived at home all the year round and couldn't come out, which is really pitiful." ”
"I rarely hear you mention that prince of the family to me, why did you suddenly mention Ji Nanyi?" Lianzhi felt that Wen Yunxi was unusual.
Wen Yunxi shook her head and looked depressed: "I don't know, I just thought of him suddenly, maybe it's because his chess skills are as bad as mine?" ”
Lianzhi is speechless, I'm afraid only Wen Yunxi still believes that Ji Nanyi's chess skills are poor!
The two parted at the fork in the road, Lianzhi returned to Yuyang Palace, Su Yue was about to push open the door of the dormitory for her, Lianzhi suddenly spoke: "Su Yue, you all retreat first." ”
Su Yue didn't know why, but Lianzhi explained, "I want to stay by myself for a while, so you all go down first." ”
Hearing Lianzhi say this, Su Yue left with a few palace people, Lianzhi pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked in, she closed the door and turned around, and saw a person sitting on the chair. Seeing this figure in the dark is indeed a little scary.
Lianzhi's face went to light the lamp as usual: "The regent is really interested, and he came to Yuyang Palace for a walk so late." ”
The lamp was lit, and Lian Zhi turned around to look at Fan Ninghuai who was sitting on the chair, and Fan Ninghuai just looked at her quietly.
Lianzhi urged: "If the regent has nothing to say, then hurry up." ”
Fan Ninghuai smiled: "Your temperament is much more anxious than before, and it is not like you anymore." ”
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that I don't want to see you." Lian Zhi looked at Fan Ninghuai as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Lianzhi, you are still ruthless!"
"Lotus? It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me by that name. Lian Zhi looked at Fan Ninghuai with a smile, "Could it be that the regent is here today to remind me of my identity?" The regent nobles are so forgetful, they must have forgotten what you said when you asked me to replace Lin Wanyang and pro-Xichu. It's okay, I can remind you! ”
Lianzhi's smile fell on Fan Ninghuai's eyes, unusually dazzling, at this moment, he remembered many things, and also remembered what he had said to Lianzhi.
"Lianzhi, do you hate me so much?" Fan Ninghuai stood up and approached Lianzhi step by step, "Have you forgotten, it was this king who saved you, if it weren't for this king, you would have died on the streets of Dongxia a long time ago." You promised this king that you would never betray this king in your life! ”
Lian Zhi listened to Fan Ninghuai's words, and only felt sarcastic: "Fan Ninghuai, did I betray you?" It was you who abandoned me first, so I left you, and once I left, I will never look back. ”
"So you don't miss any old love at all?"
"Fan Ninghuai, the thing I regret the most in my life is that I met you on the streets of Dongxia, and I knew what happened later, even if I die there, I don't want to step into your palace." Lianzhi's tone was calm and terrifying, "I killed too many people in order to live, is it only me who wants to live, and those who die under my sword don't want to live?" It was you, Fan Ninghuai, who led me to a road of no return, and then abandoned me fiercely, what qualifications do you have to mention the word 'old love' to me? ”
