Chapter 14: Sudden Departure
When she left the palace, Cheng Dongdong was still in a trance, and she always felt that all this was not at all different from what she imagined. It wasn't until he got into the carriage that he was called back to his senses by Ning Hu.
Cheng Dongdong looked at Ning Hu, and finally remembered the question in his heart: "Your Highness, are we leaving too hastily?" ”
Ning Hu was holding a book in his hand, and when he heard Cheng Dongdong ask, he didn't feel it at all: "If you want to leave, you can leave, where is the hurry?" ”
"Yes...... Why did you suddenly want to leave? Isn't there still two days left for Tanabata? It's not far from Banyan City, you can get there in an hour or two, so you don't need to be so far in advance. "I haven't figured out how to go back to the village and have a look, and ......
"Generally speaking, there isn't necessarily any reason for this, it's just thinking, not so many whys, but this time, it's ......" Ning Hu sighed lightly, put down the book, but there was a bit of rare schadenfreude on his face, "It's 'refuge'." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Dongdong was stunned. Refuge? What to refuge in? Is there anyone else who can embarrass you?
"Don't you think what Sihan's girl did today is very unruly?"
Cheng Dongdong thought about it, whether it was in line with the rules, she didn't think about it, she just felt that Sihan, the princess, seemed to be a little different, and she also had a good impression and curiosity about it in her heart. Now that Ning Hu said this, Cheng Dongdong felt that it didn't seem to be very compliant, but Cheng Dongdong was not very familiar with the rules and regulations in this regard, and he couldn't think of a reason.
However, as a princess, Sihan will also gain the voice of the people if she is at the same table as the commoners? Isn't that a good thing from a certain point of view?
"As a princess, but she is messing with civilians, when her father and mother know, she will inevitably be punished, if I am here, I will inevitably be talked about, it is better to avoid it directly, and I will go back when they are angry."
"Is that called a 'gangster'?" Cheng Dongdong blinked and pointed at himself, "Then I ......"
"Didn't you go out halfway through? So you and I failed to persuade him, so he left the table angrily, and then suddenly remembered that the Chinese Valentine's Day was approaching, so he set off to Rongcheng to relax. ”
Cheng Dongdong opened his mouth, not knowing how to describe his current mood.
Cheng Dongdong really didn't expect Ning Hu to have such a side.
Suddenly, Cheng Dongdong felt that Ning Hu seemed to be more real, and the distance between the two didn't seem to be so far.
"What will happen to Sihan?"
"It's not going to be anything, at most scolding, confinement, and making a show. Anyway, she knows this well, so you don't have to worry about her. ”
"......" Cheng Dongdong is really getting more and more curious about Sihan, I didn't have time to get along with her more today, I just think she is a straightforward person, but I didn't expect her to be such an interesting person.
"But we're gone, and there's nothing left?"
"Almost, let's go now, wait a few days and come back, the girl should be punished, and the matter will fade, and the father and queen mother will not be too lazy to worry about such a thing." After that, Ning Hu picked up the book again, and under the lowered eyelids, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
Cheng Dongdong nodded, vaguely feeling a little sorry for Sihan, but as soon as he talked about Sihan, Cheng Dongdong remembered another person, hurriedly got closer, and said in a low voice: "What about Ye Yefeng?" He's not going to be in trouble, is he? ”
Although this guy doesn't look very smart, Dongdong thinks that others are still good.
Ning Hujun raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Cheng Dongdong unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect her to mention Ye Lingfeng: "It seems that he has a good impression on you, and you can still remember him." ”
Cheng Dongdong was stunned, but he didn't expect Ning Hu to say this, this point is very accurate.
However, Ning Hu didn't mind anything, seeing Cheng Dongdong's stiff body, he smiled: "There must be trouble, he ruined this poetry meeting and offended Sihan, and the punishment of his family and the squeeze of others are naturally indispensable." ”
"What, what do you say?" Cheng Dongdong didn't understand it very much, didn't he say that Sihan had taken a fancy to Ye Yefeng before, why did he become offended again now?
Ning Hu had a smile on his face, looked at Cheng Dongdong and shook his head slightly, stretched out a slender finger, and pointed outside the carriage, but did not answer. When Cheng Dongdong saw this, he knew that he shouldn't ask, so he didn't say anything more.
Anyway, about Ye Lingfeng, Cheng Dongdong also asked casually, but he didn't care about him. Compared with Ye Lingfeng, Cheng Dongdong still cares more about what he said to her before watching the chess.
……
Because the convoy was not fast, plus lunch, it stopped for a long time, so when Cheng Dongdong and Ning Hu and others arrived in Rongcheng, it was already evening.
Although there are still two days to go, the city has already been opened, with various forms of lanterns everywhere and unique decorations everywhere, making it difficult to imagine what it would be like on the day of the arrival of the real Tanabata Festival.
No, Dongdong's mood was churning along the way, and he didn't have much heart to watch it at the moment.
Arrived at the inn, after dinner, Cheng Dongdong freshened up early and said that he was going to rest.
Guanqi asked the shopkeeper for an extra set of bedding on the grounds that the bed in the inn was too hard, and then ordered someone to send the bedding into Cheng Dongdong's room. Although this set of bedding has not yet become a floor bunk, Cheng Dongdong looked at this scene, his heart was slightly stunned, and he always had a sense of déjà vu.
Isn't this room for her to live alone? But didn't the shop guy say that Ning Hu's room was opposite?
Sure enough, after Cheng Dongdong was ready to go to bed and sent Guanqi back, Ning Hu came in immediately.
Seeing Cheng Dongdong sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him in a daze, Ning Hu suddenly smiled: "I just borrowed it for two days, you don't have to care about me." ”
Cheng Dongdong came back to his senses: "Your Highness laughed. ”
Although he was puzzled, Cheng Dongdong didn't know how to speak, so he simply shut up.
"Outside, don't call Your Highness, you're afraid that others won't know who I am." Ning Hu looked at Cheng Dongdong, his eyes were as warm as the rising sun and as soft as the spring breeze, "Call me Chongyang." ”
Hearing this name, Cheng Dongdong was stunned again: "Chongyang? ”
"Well, Chongyang. The Chung Yeung Festival, I love this festival. ”
Cheng Dongdong lowered his gaze, and a little doubt appeared on his face. These two words seem to evoke a certain memory of Cheng Dongdong, but I can't really remember it, just like the first time I saw Ning Hu, and the night I met Ning Hu with the river lantern, a very familiar feeling, but I just can't remember it, it's always a little worse.
Seeing this, Ning Hu didn't force it, but just persuaded: "Okay, aren't you already tired and said you want to rest?" ”
Cheng Dongdong really couldn't think of it, so he had to give up, nodded immediately, and then put down the bed curtain and lay down.
Looking at the dim bed curtain, Cheng Dongdong couldn't help but let out a long breath. Originally, she wanted to go to bed early and lie down and let herself think wildly, but now that she was stirred up by Ning Hu, those messy distractions were thrown out of the clouds.
Looking at the figure on the bed curtain, Cheng Dongdong silently recited those two words in his heart, and then turned over, intending to sleep peacefully.
"Chongyang ......"
