Chapter 45: True Feelings
The twentieth day of the first lunar month is the day when the eldest grandson of the Chengwang Mansion and the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion get married, Ning Qingyue actually doesn't quite understand how the Chengwang Mansion sent a post on the first day of the new year.
Ning Qingyue took the post and flipped it open and looked at it, only then did she understand.
It turned out that the sixth day of the Lunar New Year was the 40th birthday of King Cheng Li Lin, because the marriage of the emperor's eldest grandson was imminent, so King Cheng did not plan to make a big deal on this year's birthday, but by virtue of King Cheng's birthday, King Cheng's Mansion planned to invite the children close to each family to come over to eat and drink, and the female dependents were managed by Princess Cheng and distributed invitations to the female dependents of each province.
To say that between Ning Qingyue and Cheng Wangfu, it is really a bit ugly, after all, he was divorced by Cheng Wangfu, and Cheng Wangfu is nothing, but Ning Qingyue is a little unattractive in terms of face.
Ning Qingyue looked at the post in her hand carefully, she always felt a little panicked.
"What are you thinking?" Li Song's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Seeing that he was dressed in dust as if he had just come back from outside in a hurry, he walked up to Ning Qingyue and took a look at the post in her hand, Fang smiled and said, "This makes you embarrassed?" ”
Ning Qingyue pursed her lips slightly and said: "Since the concubine married into the Mu Palace, except for the princess's aunt and eldest princess, the concubine has never dealt with other female dependents, and the concubine is naturally worried. ”
Li Song glanced at the two maidservants in the room, waved his hand and said, "You two go down first!" ”
Lan Wei and Forsythia blessed their bodies and withdrew.
After they went out, Li Song smiled and said: "Fu Shu doesn't want to go, so just don't go!" ”
Ning Qingyue hurriedly said: "How can I not go, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of King Cheng, if I don't go, I don't know how others will arrange me." ”
Li Song smiled and said, "If you go, others won't arrange you?" ”
Ning Qingyue glanced at Li Song helplessly, if it was really as simple as he said, it would be good.
This post was sent by Princess Cheng herself, King Cheng is the eldest son of the emperor, plus the royal family has no son-in-law, the identity of King Cheng is extremely noble, plus she has been retired by King Cheng's mansion, if she doesn't go, someone will definitely arrange her at that time This is a grudge against King Cheng's mansion.
Ning Qingyue wasn't afraid of those people, she was just afraid of trouble.
Seeing that Ning Qingyue didn't speak, Li Song said again: "You have another thing to plan for now. ”
Hearing this, Ning Qingyue was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing that she was so confused, Li Song couldn't help but stretch out his hand and knocked her on the head: "Tomorrow is the second day of the junior high school, since you are a married woman, I should go back to Shangshu Mansion with you, right?" ”
Ning Qingyue came to her senses at this time, yes, she actually forgot about it.
saw Li Song and said: "Early this morning, I should have taken you into the palace to greet the emperor and the queen mother, but I was not very close to them, so why take you into the palace to suffer that sin, I will help you take leave." ”
Ning Qingyue was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that he didn't go to Mrs. Cha's house, but entered the palace?
Is it just that this kind of thing can still take a leave?
Seeing that Ning Qingyue's face was puzzled, Li Song smiled and said: "Anyway, it is rumored outside that I have no round room with you, those people in the palace know that I have a bad temper, you can rest assured, I have never taken you into the palace, they will only feel that I don't like you, and I don't follow the rules, and no one blames you." ”
Ning Qingyue's heart was a little moved, there were indeed many women in King Mu's mansion who were ordered by him to divide the corpses of five horses, and Ning Qingyue was also jealous of him, but as she got along more days, she was not as scared of Li Song as she was when she first entered the mansion, of course, as long as Li Song was not angry, she was fine.
Now, Li Song thinks about her everywhere, sometimes Ning Qingyue is really grateful to him, if it weren't for his protection, maybe she was knocked out by Mrs. Rou when she just entered the mansion.
"Have you prepared anything to go to Shangshu Mansion tomorrow?" Li Song asked.
Ning Qingyue's expression was stunned, and she said in a weak heart at the moment: "It's not ...... yet."
Li Song laughed, his little princess looked so cute when she was confused.
"No, no, you don't have to worry about that, I'll let Zhou Da prepare some later." Li Song said with a smile.
Ning Qingyue blessed her body: "Yes." ”
Seeing that Ning Qingyue had come to this false ceremony with him again, Li Song stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm: "It's not early, is it time for lunch?" ”
Hearing this, Ning Qingyue reacted, and immediately smiled: "It's time to pass the meal." ”
On the first day of the new year, after Li Song came back from the palace, he stayed in Ning Qingyue's house, the afternoon was good, he played chess with Ning Qingyue for an afternoon, speaking of which, Ning Qingyue knew nothing about Go, and she kept losing, no matter how Li Song made her, she couldn't win, and it was boring, Ning Qingyue suddenly said: "Self-satisfaction, why don't we play backgammon?" ”
Li Song was puzzled: "What is backgammon?" ”
Ning Qingyue smiled: "You and I will be able to understand in the next game." ”
Li Song, although he has a bad temper, he is really shrewd, just this five-in-a-row, except for the first game of ignorance of the rules, Ning Qingyue won, and then Ning Qingyue continued to lose again and again, so boring.
"No, no, no, you win, with this kung fu, I might as well toss my rouge gouache." Ning Qingyue said with a sly expression.
Li Song couldn't bear to win her, but every time he saw her stomp with remorse when she lost, Li Song felt as if there were little claws scratching his heart, and the itch was very comfortable.
I can't say any more, but it's not too early for this hour.
It was already dark early in winter, and after finishing the chess game, Li Song had dinner with her in Ning Qingyue's house.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, Li Song accompanied Ning Qingyue all day, and Mrs. Rou, who was still grounded that year, is now really ruined and her intestines are green.
She knew that the prince attached great importance to Mrs. Tea, but she couldn't restrain her jealousy, and always loved to target Mrs. Tea, but as a result, Mrs. Tea didn't have anything to do, but she was grounded.
In the past, Mrs. Rou couldn't see Li Song go to the princess's house, but now that she heard that the prince had been accompanying the princess on the first day of the new year, she felt a little more comfortable in her heart.
It is also said that in the past, she regarded the princess as her enemy, but now when Mrs. Tea has not entered the mansion, the prince has demolished the entire plum garden for her, and Mrs. Rou has naturally listed Mrs. Tea as her number one enemy.
She thought about it like this, if she wanted to deal with Madame Tea, she couldn't do it alone, she had to think of a way to let the princess stand on the same front as her.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Rou gritted her teeth and found a pair of jade bracelets that were particularly precious and delicate and engraved with plum blossom patterns from her own softness.
Huixin on the side was quite puzzled when she saw Mrs. Rou take out this thing: "This is the most cherished thing in your daily life, Madame, how did you take them out?" ”
Madame Rou thought to herself, reluctant that the child could not trap the wolf, and she said, "You can send them to the princess's house later." ”
Huixin was even more puzzled: "The princess should not lack these things." ”
Mrs. Rou sneered: "On weekdays, I said how smart you are, you actually got the blue eyes of the master and sent you to my side, I don't think that your brain is not as smart as Qinzhi who died at the beginning!" ”
Suddenly being ridiculed by Mrs. Rou, a look of displeasure crossed Huixin's face, but she quickly withdrew her expression and smiled faintly: "What Madam said is that the slave maid wants to hear about it." ”
Mrs. Rou said: "The princess has always known that I love plum blossoms, and this pair of jade bracelets is a gift from the prince to me when I was in Chunfeng Tower. "Besides, Madame Rou never thought that the princess was stupid.
After Hui Xin took the pair of jade bracelets, she found a delicate box and put them away.
For this pair of bracelets, Mrs. Rou felt very painful when she thought that they were about to no longer belong to her, but now she offended Mrs. Tea and provoked the prince's disgust, for a while, the prince was afraid that he would not think of her, and she would be grounded, and now only the princess could help her.

After dinner, Zhou Da hurriedly came to Li Song, and Li Song was ready to leave.
Ning Qingyue could see that he was afraid that he was going to the house because of something, but he never told Ning Qingyue clearly.
Ning Qingyue hurriedly looked at Lan Wei and said, "Go and get the prince's cloak."
Soon Lan Wei brought the cloak prepared for Li Song in the house, Ning Qingyue took it, walked behind Li Song, and helped him put it on.
While tying the cloak herself, she said with a gentle gaze: "I have to go out so late, it's freezing outside, so I have to take care of myself." ”
Li Song rarely saw Ning Qingyue reveal such true feelings, and for a while, his heart moved, and he hugged her as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, a smile crossed Ning Qingyue's eyebrows.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Da and Lan Wei in the room each smiled secretly, but when they met their eyes, they hurriedly turned them away.
After Li Song let go of Ning Qingyue, he said with a deep gaze: "You rest early, and I will accompany you back to Shangshu Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”
After that, Li Song turned around and walked out, Ning Qingyue stood in front of the door, watching his back disappear into the night, she suddenly felt a coldness attack, and a sense of loss crossed her heart, he would not come back to accompany her tonight.
Not long after Li Song left, Huixin from Mrs. Rou's house came.
"Princess, this is the New Year's gift that Madame Rou asked the slave maid to give you." Hui Xin respectfully presented the box.
Lan Wei took the box and gave it to Ning Qingyue, but as soon as the box was opened, Ning Qingyue saw a pair of jade bracelets in the box, and her face was not very good.
"Mrs. Rou has always loved Mei, how could she give such a valuable thing to this concubine?" Ning Qingyue asked lightly.
Huixin immediately said: "Madame said that this pair of bracelets was given to her by the prince at the beginning, and now Madame has given her most cherished object to the princess, and I hope that the princess can understand our lady's loyalty to you." ”
Ning Qingyue - it's heart-piercing! Li Zide, a big pig's trotter, it turns out that he not only likes to plant flowers for women, but also likes to give them love things!
