Chapter 029: Goodbye Wei Lingyu
Remember [39 .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Shangguan Yan'er drew a peony flower on her forehead, and her face looked very calm.
Next to her sat two rows of concubines with different postures, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and for a while, the hall was full of warblers and swallows, looking so lively.
A woman wearing a goose yellow palace shirt, elegant and clear, saw everyone sitting down, so she stood up and said loudly: "Today is my son's first birthday, please come to the palace to celebrate." ”
The woman who spoke must be Shen Guifei. When the ladies had finished speaking, they all raised their cups on the table. The cup was full of fruit wine, Wei Ning toasted to Shen Guifei with everyone, took a sip, and suddenly felt that the taste was mellow, and the entrance seemed to be full of fruity aroma.
"Auntie, you say, why doesn't the queen mother speak?"
Wei Ning sat beside a girl wearing a purple embroidered lily of the valley and green leaf scattered flower dress, the girl was slender, like a quiet orchid, and her voice was soft and pleasant.
"Wan'er, it's not that the queen doesn't speak, it's just that this is the birthday of Concubine Shen's son, and the queen mother and all the mothers are just here to be a foil."
The lady sitting next to the girl, after saying the word "foil", suddenly felt that what she said was inappropriate. Fortunately, however, it was not loud, and she glanced nervously at the queen, who was just sitting upright and drinking the fruit wine in her glass, deaf to the discussion below.
Wei Ning sat for a while, and suddenly felt a little irritable. The silk and bamboo strings, and the bursts of dancing girls, made her a little dizzy and drowsy.
The ladies were busy congratulating Concubine Shen and sending congratulatory gifts. Wei Ning saw that his mother also stepped forward, so he said to Xianglan who was standing aside: "I've been sitting for a long time, and my head is a little dizzy. I want to go outside and breathe. ”
"Miss can't run around, this is in the palace." Xianglan remembered that Wei Ning was kidnapped, but she didn't want Shu Jin's experience to repeat itself in her.
"I really don't feel comfortable sitting here. Chest tightness. Don't worry, I'll stay outside the palace gate for a while, and I will definitely come back before my mother returns. ”
After Wei Ning finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xianglan to answer, she got up and slipped away.
"This ......" Xianglan glared, because the number of family members brought into the palace was all stipulated, and this time when she entered the palace, Xu's mother and daughter only brought Xianglan a maid. If she leaves with Wei Ning, what if the Xu family comes back and can't find anyone later?
"Miss, you're really going to give people a problem!"
Xianglan looked at Wei Ning's back as she went out and sighed.
Wei Ning walked out of the gate of Huaqing Palace. It's almost evening. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the entire palace, Wei Ning stood under an ancient tree outside the palace gate, and was blown by the wind for a while, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.
It was really cool outside, and Wei Ning didn't want to go back. This palace, in fact, she is not a stranger. She remembered that there was a small garden near Huaqing Palace, so she planned to go there for a visit.
Wei Ning lifted her skirt and walked along the cobblestone path towards the garden. Both sides of the path are lush with flowers and flowers, and there are many petals scattered along the road.
Wei Ning remembered a book he had read, in which there was a woman named Daiyu who liked to bury flowers. And because of this, he wrote the famous "Funeral Flower Yin".
Flowers and flowers are flying all over the sky, who has mercy on the red incense?
In this situation, Wei Ning really felt that it was in line with the artistic conception of the funeral flowers. She couldn't help but be interested, took out a handkerchief, and picked up a bag full of handkerchiefs on the ground, planning to learn to bury flowers in Daiyu as well.
Walking to the garden near Huaqing Palace, Wei Ning was about to find a corner to bury the petals of the handkerchief. Unexpectedly, there was a woman's coquettish moan in my ears.
Wei Ning is not a child, as a woman, she is very sensitive to this coquettish sound, so she followed the sound and walked over, and saw a pavilion behind the rockery, where a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was pressing a woman on the stone table in the pavilion.
Wei Ning was taken aback, this man was not the emperor today.
Wei Ning's heart suddenly "fluttered", and it was definitely not a good thing for her to bump into this kind of thing. Wei Ning turned around, intending to go back to Huaqing Palace quietly, but he didn't expect that because of nervousness, he kicked a stone on his toes. Wei Ning grinned in pain, and couldn't help but cry out "ouch".
When the two people on the other side of the pavilion heard Wei Ning's shout, they both raised their heads and looked at Wei Ning's side.
Wei Ning immediately covered her mouth. Fortunately, there were a lot of trees next to this rockery, and before they could find out, Wei Ning hurriedly lowered his waist and ran.
Wei Ning lifted her skirt and ran away in the palace like a headless fly. She heard the footsteps of Suo Suo behind her, and secretly shouted in her heart, it is over, it is estimated that the emperor saw her, so he sent guards to chase her.
Running to the front, it seems that there is no way. A huge pool of water lay in front of Wei Ning. Wei Ning stopped by the pool, drenched in sweat. She was out of breath and heard the footsteps behind her getting louder and louder, so in desperation, she climbed up a big tree next to the pool.
The branches and foliage of this tree were very luxuriant, and Wei Ning hugged the trunk and hid behind the branches and leaves. Sure enough, I saw a team of guards trotting over.
"Huh? Where is this man? ”
Those guards looked left and right, and obviously saw that someone had been running in front, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?
At this time, it was already night, and night fell, giving Wei Ning the advantage of hiding.
The guards searched around the pool, but when they found nothing, they shouted and looked elsewhere.
Wei Ning held the trunk of the tree with both hands, and his arms were already sore. She made sure there was no one underneath her, and she tried to slide down the trunk of the tree.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was relieved, Wei Ning felt as if all his strength had been drained, and the whole person fell from the tree like a kite.
"Yikes!" Wei Ning screamed, thinking that he was going to fall half to death today.
Unexpectedly, he fell steadily into a warm embrace.
Wei Ning closed her eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not come. She opened her eyes, and a familiar face appeared in front of her.
There were no lights around, only the stars in the sky shining brightly. But Wei Ning still recognized the face by the night.
The person who caught him was Wei Lingyu.
"Let go of me." Identifying it as Wei Lingyu, Wei Ning immediately said coldly.
Wei Lingyu was stunned, he entered the palace with Wei Guogong today to celebrate the birthday of the little prince, and on the way, the emperor said that he had drunk too much and wanted to come out to sober up, so he took advantage of this moment to come out to blow the wind.
On the way, I saw a team of guards who seemed to be looking for someone, and when I asked, I learned that the emperor said that there seemed to be thieves in the palace, and ordered them not to search carefully. He followed in a moment of curiosity, and then he saw the scene just now.
Unexpectedly, the person they wanted to arrest was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. Looking at what she's wearing, she doesn't look like a thief, right? Instead, it is more like a lady who enters the palace with his wife. Wei Lingyu saw Wei Ning climb the tree, but he didn't step forward to remind the guards, but found it funny.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Wei Lingyu asked gently.
Wei Ning patted the dust on his body, just on the way to escape, his skirt had been scraped by the trees on the side of the road. It is estimated that the bun is also messed up. I must be embarrassed. If you go back like this, you will definitely arouse suspicion from others.
"I'm fine." Wei Ning lowered her head, not wanting to look at Wei Lingyu's face.
Her heart was beating fast, this person was the culprit who killed herself. Although she hated Wei Lingyu in her heart, the current Wei Lingyu did not hurt her, but saved her.
Wei Ning can still distinguish this point.
Wei Ning checked his body, except for a few scratches on the skirt and some scratches on his arms, there was nothing wrong with other places.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Lingyu: "Which girl are you?" I'll send you back. ”
Wei Lingyu wanted to know what had just happened and why those guards were chasing her. But looking at Wei Ning's demeanor, he obviously didn't want to say more.
Wei Ning bit her lip, as long as she saw this person, she could not help but think of everything in her previous life. The admiration for him in childhood, the love for him in his youth, and the use of himself later......
All kinds of emotions hit her like a tide, forcing Wei Ning to breathe.
"No need. I remember the way back. ”
Of course, Wei Ning refused.
Wei Lingyu was unwilling and continued: "But aren't you afraid of those guards? I'll send you back, at least to cover for you. ”
"Not necessarily. I'll be careful. ”
"Girl." Wei Lingyu sighed, "I'm kind enough to help you." The people in this palace are very complicated, and I am worried about your safety. ”
"If I had ill intentions towards you, I didn't need to save you just now." Wei Lingyu said again.
Wei Ning couldn't cry or laugh, daring to love him, thinking that he suspected him of having bad intentions. Although Wei Lingyu is very scummy, he is definitely not a scumbag, but Wei Ning doesn't want to have anything to do with this person who hurt him so badly in his previous life.
"Not really." Wei Ning felt that there was no need to bother more, so he turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he actually saw Wei Lingfeng.
Wei Ning hadn't seen Wei Lingfeng for a long time, he had almost reached the age of a weak crown, and his whole figure looked more slender and straight, Wei Ning was very surprised when he saw Wei Lingfeng, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Wei Lingfeng said: "I came out for a walk, and before I knew it, I came here. ”
The emperor didn't return for a long time, and it was boring for him to sit in the hall, and he heard that the family members of the ministers were also invited to this celebration, so he wanted to go to Shen Guifei's Huaqing Palace to secretly take a look at Wei Ning.
But I didn't expect Wei Ning to be there, and the banquet was almost over at this time. Xianglan and Xu were full of anxiety, but they were not quiet.
Hearing that Wei Ning was missing again, Wei Lingfeng's heart suddenly remembered the incident of Wei Ning being kidnapped before, why does this girl always make people feel uneasy? Wei Lingfeng really wanted to tie her to his side with a rope, so that she could be obedient?
Wei Lingyu saw that Wei Lingfeng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, how could anyone sweat profusely when he walked?
"Your mother is looking for you. I'll take you back. Wei Lingfeng reached out to pull Wei Ning.
