Chapter 8 Participation in Poetry Meetings
The morning glow covers half of the sky, especially the clouds on the horizon in the distance, so that even if the sun does not appear, people can know that it has risen.
Cheng Dongdong woke up a little late today, because her mind was full of Ning Hu's voice last night, but she thought about it for half the night, and she didn't understand anything.
Ning Hu's words were very strange, he said that he was very lucky, and also said that his future road would not be difficult, so that he would not have to fight for it, these Cheng Dongdong could understand, but why did he believe it himself? He also said that he didn't want to force himself to do things he didn't like, and he hoped that he could be happy, why was that?
Cheng Dongdong knew that Ning Hu didn't want her to go to school with pressure and sorrow, and hoped that she would just study for the sake of reason and broaden her horizons, and even if she encountered similar things in the future, she could do it because she liked it, but the key is, why?
Although they are nominally husband and wife, in fact, on the wedding night, Ning Hu said: I don't like you anymore. So there's no reason why Ning Hu would worry about these things for himself.
Moreover, Cheng Dongdong didn't think that Ning Hu would suddenly like him in just a few days, this is nonsense at all, and the reverse is possible.
As for it, is it because I know my identity and feel pitiful, so I ...... As soon as this idea germinated, it was cut off by Cheng Dongdong. Not to mention how likely this is, let's just say that although Ning Hu is a good person, Cheng Dongdong is not sure if he can be kind-hearted to this point: he was deceived, married a country woman as his wife, and was tricked around, and then he felt that this woman was very pitiful...... This...... Storytellers don't dare to say that, right?
Therefore, Cheng Dongdong struggled for half the night, but he still didn't come up with anything, and couldn't help but be very frustrated, is the realm of a scholar so high? Or does Ning Hu just feel that he is also his nominal wife, so he hopes that he doesn't think about something all day long?
"Crown Princess, Your Highness said that Princess Sihan's poetry meeting was held today in Dongfeng Xiaozhu outside the city." While watching chess, he dressed Cheng Dongdong and spoke.
Cheng Dongdong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and suddenly looked at the sky outside the window, a little nervous: "It's all going to be, won't it be too late?" After all, she had just gotten up, washed and dressed, and had breakfast, so she didn't know how long she would have to delay.
Watching the chess, he smiled: "No, since His Royal Highness only let the slave maid come to dress the princess to wash at this time, he must have a number in his heart." ”
Cheng Dongdong nodded, but the tension in her heart was not relieved at all, although she also had a few poems in her mind that Fang Jinyin usually wrote and did not circulate, but what if someone else proposed, what if she didn't win a poem? Plus the words of her hand...... Alas, the more I think about it, the more sad I become.
Guanqi saw Cheng Dongdong's sorrow, smiled, but didn't break it, just said: "Princess Sihan is generous, straightforward, Kongming Many nobles and young ladies like to get along with her, and the princess's trip is indispensable for fun." ”
Cheng Dongdong could hear that he was comforting himself by watching chess, but his heart was still better after all, and at the same time, he was also a little curious about the "Princess Sihan", which sounded like a girl who was easy to get along with.
Princess Sihan, the fifth child of the current emperor, like Ning Hu, was born by the first queen, and then raised by the current queen, and has been loved in every way since she was a child. However, this princess has nothing to do with Fang Jinyin, so Cheng Dongdong has almost no knowledge of her, I think it should be because Princess Sihan loves to move, but Fang Jinyin is a quiet character......
An hour later, Cheng Dongdong and Ning Hu went out together and rushed out of the city.
As soon as he went out, Cheng Dongdong's heartbeat was like beating a drum, fast and powerful, almost jumping out of his chest. Cheng Dongdong wanted to empty her mind and calm down, and she has always been very good at this, but she can't do it at this time, and she just can't calm down when she thinks about it in her head. Guanqi didn't come with this time, Cheng Dongdong was still looking forward to it, in case of any emergency, she could help herself block it.
Especially when Cheng Dongdong knew that he was about to leave the city gate, his whole person froze, his ears were full of the sound of his heart pounding, and even the cries in the market were suppressed.
And Ning Hu was talking to Cheng Dongdong at first, but when he approached the city gate, he suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the crowd of vehicles coming and going, and then he seemed to see something, so he smiled lightly and sighed lightly, and lowered the curtain.
Cheng Dongdong just wanted to divert his attention at this time, so he hurriedly pretended to be casual and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
There was still a light smile on the corner of Ning Hu's mouth, but a little helplessness appeared on his face: "Sihan, this girl, has become more and more casual in recent years. ”
Cheng Dongdong looked at Ning Hu, didn't understand what he was talking about, but was embarrassed to ask. After all, no matter how Fang Jinyin doesn't interact with Princess Sihan, she must know about this princess, but Cheng Dongdong only has a general understanding of what powerful people are in this empty song, and it is very good to be able to remember the name, let alone others.
But Cheng Dongdong really won't hide his emotions, for people like Ning Hu, what Cheng Dongdong is thinking, they can guess at a glance.
"I just took a look at the carriages and horses in the city, and found that most of them belong to certain businesses, so I think this poetry meeting, this girl doesn't seem to invite the sons and daughters of those powerful families."
Cheng Dongdong's eyes lit up when she heard this, in her impression, the real magnates in Kongming looked down on businessmen, but she didn't expect Sihan, the princess, to invite them to her poetry meeting, which is also a big miracle in Kongming. Thinking like this, although he hadn't seen this princess yet, Cheng Dongdong already had a good impression of her in his heart.
Seeing the change in Cheng Dongdong's expression, Ning Hu smiled and said, "And the strange thing is that although Sihan likes to go out of the palace to play, she has never heard of people in any business name she has ever met. ”
Cheng Dongdong was stunned: "What does Your Highness mean that the princess doesn't know anyone who participated in the poetry meeting this time?" ”
Ning Hu thought for a moment, then nodded: "If you don't count you and me, it should be." ”
"Then why did the princess invite them?"
When Ning Hu heard this, his handsome eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up an inexplicable smile: "It's hard for me to say this, if you want to know, when it comes, I'll let her tell you in person." ”
Seeing Ning Hu like this, Cheng Dongdong became more and more curious about that Princess Sihan in his heart, and even his nervous mood was relieved a little for a while.
With such complicated thoughts, it didn't take long for Cheng Dongdong to hear the people accompanying him outside the car, leaning towards the window of the car and saying, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Crown Princess, Dongfeng Xiaozhu has arrived." ”
Then the carriage stopped. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Dongdong heard someone shouting, "His Royal Highness the Prince, bring the princess here", and someone in the distance followed suit, and it was heard several times before stopping.
Cheng Dongdong's heart was a little shocked, this treatment was the first time, before entering the palace, she was also waiting with Ning Hu in the queen's bedroom, waiting for the word to be transmitted, and when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Xiang and his wife waited at the door early in the morning, so Cheng Dongdong didn't feel much special treatment at that time, but this time it was different. Although there are still not many people accompanying him, this voice instantly made Cheng Dongdong feel the nobility that he should feel as a "nobleman".
However, when Cheng Dongdong saw Ning Hu's flat face, he suddenly felt a little inferior in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being unproductive. This is not the first time Cheng Dongdong has felt like this, but it is the first time he has done this in front of Ning Hu. Maybe it's because of being in person, so the feeling is even stronger, Cheng Dongdong is also facing the gap between her and Ning Hu for the first time, it is really like a chasm, so that people can't even have the courage to overcome.
