Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm is Coming
That night, Long Jiujiu accompanied Murong Qing for a long time in the Plum Garden.
Perhaps, poor Murong Qing lost his parents at a young age, and he could only remember in the place where his parents sang poems and danced in the past.
Perhaps, it is because he sighs that he is like Murong Qing, separated from his parents by two worlds, and there is nowhere to tell his feelings of longing.
In short, the two hugged each other like two wounded little beasts, warmed each other, and licked each other's wounds. While Long Jiujiu was comforting Murong Qing, he was also comforting himself.
The two chatted for a long time, Ah Fu held the lamp on the side, and only the plum blossoms in the plum garden were listening quietly.
After a long time, Murong Qing said: "Sister Long, it's not too early, I have to go back to the palace, you should go back too, otherwise the banquet will end in a while, and the regent won't find you, so you should be in a hurry." ”
Long Jiujiu also felt that she had been out for too long, and she was ready to go back to Qunfang Palace.
"Sister Long, I know that you are afraid of the queen mother, so you don't dare to come to me to play here. But don't worry, after the New Year, the queen mother will go to Xiangshan to make incense, and you have to be there for a month, which is the rule of Yun Qin Kingdom. ”
When Long Jiu heard this, she suddenly felt that her opportunity had come, and she hurriedly said:
"Then after the New Year, if you want to be bored, send someone to the Dragon Mansion to pass me on!" You can enter the palace, and you will have the opportunity to go to the library to have a look!
"It's a deal!" Murong Qing said happily, "However, you can't always treat me as the emperor!" It's too distant! ”
"Got it!"
Long Jiu said goodbye to the little emperor Murong Qing and returned to the Qunfang Palace.
The night banquet in the hall was over, and some officials who were not strong enough to drink had retired early, and some seemed to have drunk too much, and were gathering together to talk.
Situ Yufeng was sitting at the table where he and Long Jiujiu were together just now, pouring himself a drink.
I saw the man slowly pour out a cup of elixir from the wine jug and pour it into the gold-painted bone china green cup. As soon as he tilted his head, all the contents of the cup slipped into his mouth, and the beautiful jaw moved slightly, indicating that a glass of wine had been swallowed.
Long Jiushi didn't know how this person could be so elegant and comfortable when he drank by himself. However, this handsome guy tasting wine is still very worthy of appreciation.
Long Jiujiu stood aside and secretly looked at Situ Yufeng.
The man drank for a long time, but he did not see a trace of alcohol.
Just now, before she left the table, many colleagues came to toast, although Long Jiujiu was not drunk, but on this occasion, he naturally had to pretend to be bad at drinking. So a lot of wine was drunk by Situ Yufeng on her behalf.
This fox's alcohol consumption is really unfathomable. Although Long Jiuyue didn't know why her body had such a large amount of alcohol, she knew that Situ Yufeng's alcohol consumption must have been exercised over many years.
She suddenly remembered Uncle Benshan's classic quote many years ago: accompany day and night, and finally accompany the stomach sagging!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Situ Yufeng was drinking to the fullest, when he heard a chuckle, and knew that it was Long Jiu who had stolen away. He didn't stop pouring the wine, but asked:
"This king enters the palace every day, but he doesn't know that the scenery of the palace is so good, which makes Miss Long happy."
Long Jiujiu knew that he was teasing himself, so he was not annoyed, and replied: "This girl doesn't know, it turns out that the regent who looks like a fox on weekdays, when he drinks wine, he looks like he has a different flavor!" ”
"If it weren't for waiting for you, this king would probably have gone back to sleep at the moment, you would be fine, as soon as you come back, you will laugh at this king first!"
"Lord Wang forgives sins~" Long Jiujiu pretended to bow down at Situ Yufeng, but his hand grabbed a peanut on the table very honestly and threw it into his mouth.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the regent to still care about the people's daughters!" Long Jiujiu said while chewing peanuts, no, no, these peanuts have been put for a long time, and they are not fragrant!
"After all, it was this king who brought you into the palace, if you meet someone who is punished to kneel or something, this king will not be happy!" Situ Yufeng also cooperated with her, joking with and without a match.
"May I ask Miss Long," he continued, "shall we go home?" ”
Long Jiu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, His Royal Highness the Regent said to go, and the little one immediately followed behind, without any complaints!" ”
Situ Yufeng chuckled in his heart, this girl!
He didn't know how long she had slipped out, where she had gone, or who she had met. He didn't want to ask why her eyes looked so red and swollen, as if she had cried.
As long as she came back and began to play poor beside him, Situ Yufeng was very satisfied.
Having decided to leave, the two of them got up together and left the magnificent Qunfang Palace.
On the way back, Situ Yufeng didn't speak.
Long Jiujiu only thought that he had just drunk too much, and now he was a little nervous, so he didn't care, thinking about how to find an opportunity to go to the library after the year.
Suddenly, Situ Yufeng heard a deep voice, and said in his ear: "Tomorrow, your father is going back to Beijing, right?" ”
"Well, that's right." Long Jiujiu replied.
In fact, she didn't quite understand why her father was no longer a general, and he would be sent to the army to supervise.
Obviously it's just a feather army commander!
Situ Yufeng continued: "Today, what you heard from Nanwan, you don't have to tell your father when you go back. ”
Long Jiu was a little puzzled, and only listened to Situ Yufeng continue:
"Just leave this matter to me. Your father has been fighting horses all his life, and he has made great contributions to the Yunqin country, I will not let him be harmed by traitors, you can rest assured. ”
"What's more, your father used to worship the hussar general, how can he be easily injured by some carving insect skills? After all, on the battlefield, it was all fought with real knives and guns. ”
Long Jiujiu thought about it and felt that what Situ Yufeng said was very reasonable. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed that she ran to the Regent's Mansion for help in a panic today.
She hurriedly said, "So, is there anything I need to do?" ”
Situ Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "You hold your ground and spend this New Year with the old man." As for the new year, I have my own things to do for you! ”
Situ Yufeng knew very well that Long Jiujiu was not just an embroidered pillow as rumored in the streets. Since he chose to be close to the Long family, Long Jiujiu can naturally become a good helper for himself.
I only heard Long Jiuyue muttering in his ear: "This Jinling City is getting colder and colder." My father, he is old, and I hope he will not be hurt by the cold. ”
Situ Yufeng was silent for a moment, and just when Long Jiu thought he wouldn't say anything more, Situ Yufeng whispered:
"Don't worry, no matter when, I will protect your father and your Long family, and you will not be affected by the wind and waves in the future."
"The New Year is coming, and in the new year, the Yunqin Kingdom will naturally be a new situation."
"Either way, I'll be there for you." Situ Yufeng said softly.
Long Jiujiu was very grateful. Since coming to this world, Situ Yufeng has been helping her unconditionally and saving her from danger.
She thought it was time for her to do something for him.
The night was getting thicker and thicker, and a bright moon hung in the sky, stretching the figures of the two for a long time.
And so they walked on, and neither of them said a word.
