Chapter 604: Half a Day of Leisure
604
When Wei Yining went to pay tribute to his parents, he cried a little hard, and his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them.
Zhong Ye was accompanying her, and he was naturally distressed when he saw her like this, so he asked Wei Yingjue's entourage to escort him and Wei Hongan back to the city first.
He himself accompanied Wei Yining on a horse and walked slowly, so that she could relax.
"Grandpa Zhong, this shade is very good, let's stand here for a while, I don't want to go into the city like this." Wei Yining's nasal voice was still very heavy when he spoke: "I just had a gaffe and made you laugh." ”
"What is this, think that when I killed Nikan and carried his head to my mother's bedside, my mother took one look at it and went, and I cried so much that the ashes on the beams of the house shook down," Zhong Ye said, "Those who have not been wronged will never know what it is like to take revenge." ”
"In fact, my father's revenge has not been completely avenged, and Xu Guifei is still suspicious. It's just that I can't continue to stay in the palace," Wei Yining said with some regret: "There are some things I haven't been able to sort out here, so I can't tell the queen." ”
Wei Yining is naturally with a stable temperament, if it weren't for the fact that he was nine out of ten, he would never open his mouth easily.
"So can you start from outside the palace?" Zhong Ye asked her, "If you want to investigate, I can help you." ”
"Actually, I really want to go somewhere to check it out," Wei Yining said, "But not recently." ”
"Yining, you have to remember that you must inform me of any place you are going outside the palace." Zhong Ye's tone was very solemn, and he couldn't refuse: "Especially the night detective, I have to accompany you." ”
"Grandpa Zhong, you are so good to me." Wei Yining sobbed, because she cried too much before, and she was still a little uncontrollable.
She was like a little doll like this, which made Zhong Ye want to hold her in the palm of his hand.
At this time, the weather in May and a half was very hot, and Wei Yining was afraid of the heat again.
Even if she was standing in the shade of the tree, she was sweating all over her face, and she had just cried, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy and swollen, which was very uncomfortable at this time.
Zhong Ye opened the water bladder he was carrying, and asked Wei Yining to wash his hands and face.
"It's almost noon, and it's going to take more than an hour to get back to the city, and I'm afraid you'll get heat stroke." Zhong Ye said to Wei Yining: "It's better to find a cool place, take a break and eat something, and then go back to the city when the weather cools down." ”
"Okay." Wei Yining nodded in agreement without thinking about it, she trusted and unguarded so much, which made Zhong Ye indescribably gratified.
Turning the horse's head, he walked for half an hour on the mountain road, and then came to a small lake in the mountains.
"I never knew there was a lake." Wei Yining was happy and surprised: "Sure enough, it is most comfortable to stay by the water in summer." ”
Although there is only a light breeze, it is very cool when it blows from the surface of the lake.
There are many lotus flowers growing in the lake, and it is not yet time to bloom, but the lotus leaves are like umbrella covers, and there are a few buds scattered with them, like a shy and timid little girl.
There was a small boat without a canopy moored in the shallow water of the lake, but there was no one nearby.
"Let's borrow this ship for some use." Zhong Ye said and helped Wei Yining to the boat, and then untied the cable.
Because the boat was too small, Zhong Ye only let Wei Yining sit on it. He pushed the boat slowly forward in the water, the lake was not deep, but it was not up to his waist.
Wei Yining casually folded a lotus leaf to cover his head, sighed happily and said, "It's so comfortable!" ”
Zhong Ye docked the boat next to a large clump of lotus flowers to ensure that Wei Yining would not get sunburned.
"You chill here, I'll catch the fish." Zhong Ye smiled and said, "If you are tired, sleep for a while, and when the fish is baked, I will wake you up." ”
"Good!" Wei Yining said that he yawned, covered his face with lotus leaves, and curled up in the boat to take a nap.
So Zhong Ye was very careful when he caught fish, and he didn't want to disturb Wei Yining to rest.
The cool breeze and the sound of frogs. The ease of the curtain made Wei Yining sleep deeply.
In the dream, she seemed to have walked a far, far way, the road was not very easy to walk, and there was no one to accompany her, but Wei Yining's heart was very stable, as if somewhere, there was someone waiting for her, and he would never leave.
The fish in the lake were fresh and fatty, and Zhong Ye cleaned them up by the lake and roasted them slowly on the fire.
Wei Yining slept for half an hour, and just woke up a little dazed, sitting up and seeing Zhong Ye grilling fish on the shore not far away, he remembered why he was in this place.
"Hungry, aren't you?" Zhong Ye looked at Wei Yining sleepy-eyed, with the lotus leaf on his head, like a lotus doll.
"Hmm." Wei Yining grinned, her stomach was already growling.
Zhong Ye put the grilled fish on the bow of the boat, watched Wei Yining Svenwen open the handkerchief and spread it on his clothes, and ate the grilled fish quickly and decently, and felt that he was not hungry at all.
When the hottest time passed, the two of them got back on their horses and slowly walked towards the city.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet Duanwang Shizi and Wei Laner as soon as I got on the road, and when I asked, I knew that they were going out of the city to incense.
It was also because of the hot weather, so I rested in the temple outside the city for the afternoon before slowly returning to the city.
Qian Qianyi put Zhong Ye and Wei Yining together, and squeezed his eyebrows at Zhong Ye while Wei Yining and Wei Laner were talking.
"Sixth sister, how do you feel now?" Wei Yining knew that Wei Laner was pregnant, and it was less than 100 days, so it was the time to make a fuss.
"It's been a lot better these days, but it's especially hard when I first wake up in the morning." Wei Laner married a woman and became pregnant again, and the whole person was much more stable and gentle than before.
Although she and Wei Yining are only one year apart, the difference between a woman who is out of the cabinet and who is not out of the cabinet is so obvious.
"Yining, you don't have to go to the palace now, why don't you come to our mansion and stay with me for a few days. The prince also said that he was going out tomorrow and that he would not be back for several days. "I don't look like I'm going to be able to walk around outside," he said, "and there is no one in the house to talk to me." ”
Wei Yining was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Everyone turned their faces to see that they were two entourages from Duanwangfu.
These two people ran very fast, and they looked like they were in a hurry.
When he got close to the front, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground like Duan Wang Shiziyu reported: "Lord Shizi, the Queen Mother has died!" The prince told us to hurry out of the city to find you, and told you and the princess to enter the palace immediately. ”
"Huh?!" Qian Qianyi couldn't care about anything when he heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhong Ye, and went to the palace with Wei Laner.
Although Wei Yining had long known that the Queen Mother was sick, she still felt very sudden when she heard the news, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
The death of the queen mother means that the queen has lost a powerful backer, and there is no one in the harem who can contain the emperor, let alone what will happen.
