Chapter 499: Leaving the Palace
Leng Xiang and Xi'er hurriedly knelt down, not daring to speak.
"Go down, all of you." Ji Qiang waved her hand, indicating that she wanted to be quiet and quiet.
Xi'er wanted to speak and stopped, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say in her heart under the signal of Leng Xiang's eyes, and walked out of Fengluan Palace.
Three days later, Ji Qiang decided to leave.
She doesn't want to do meaningless things in the palace, and she doesn't want to be tied down. She wanted to escape from everything in the palace for a while, stay away from the cumbersome etiquette, go to live alone outside the palace, and find Yu Xuan back by the way.
Ji Qiang only packed some personal supplies, and she was still a little hesitant before leaving, but she had made up her mind. She left without saying hello, presumably he would be very angry when he found out.
But she had already walked to the gate of the palace, stood on the wall, and ran straight out of the palace.
The pastries that Xi'er prepared for Ji Qiang had just been delivered to the house, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"The Queen?" Xi'er looked carefully for a while, and found that there was no one, and a wave of worry quietly rose in her heart.
Isn't the queen out of the palace? In the past few days, the emperor and the queen mother have had a dispute over this matter, and she naturally knows in her heart that the queen mother wants to leave the palace, but did she really leave without saying hello?
Xi'er was a little anxious, put down the pastry and went straight to the emperor's place. The prince saw Xi'er's anxious appearance. His face did not change slightly.
"What's the matter, so impatient?" Wang Gonggong looked at Xi'er suspiciously, and there was a bit of rebuke in his tone.
"Princess, no, the queen seems to be out of the palace." Xi'er hurriedly spoke, this important matter still has to be reported to the emperor quickly.
"What?" The tone of the prince suddenly became sharp, what a big deal it is for the queen to leave the palace!
"Prepare pastries for the queen's mother, but there is no one in the palace. Since today, the queen mother has always said that she wants to leave the palace......" Xi'er said while panting, if she let the emperor know, she would definitely be furious.
The prince did not stop for a moment, and took Xi'er into the palace. At this moment, Xia Jingnian is reviewing the folds.
The eyebrows are tightly locked, and the face doesn't seem to be very good. The prince walked to his side in fear.
Xia Jingnian suddenly said, "The tea is cold."
The prince immediately ordered someone to change a new cup of tea, and then exhaled. Said slowly: "Your Majesty, the queen is out of the palace......"
The two of them, who were about to welcome Xia Jingnian's anger, lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.
Hearing this, Xia Jingnian's heart chuckled. Still out of the palace? I sighed silently in my heart, and my face was a little tired.
Xia Jingnian's heart ached faintly, but he didn't show it, but said in a flat tone: "Let her go."
When Wang Gonggong and others heard this, they were all shocked. Why doesn't the emperor care about the queen?
Xi'er wanted to speak, but was stopped by the princess. His eyes signaled to Xi'er, now he can say less and don't say it.
"Let's all get out. I want to be alone for a while. From time to time, only Xia Jingnian was left in the huge hall. The mood was really unhappy, and he left without saying hello. Since you want to go so much, just let you go.
Xia Jingnian helped his forehead and suppressed the urge to find someone. silently picked up the recital on the table, but he couldn't look at it at all.
Ji Qiang, who was out of the palace, already had a place in her heart that she wanted to move forward. It is said that the scenery of Jiangnan is very charming, and it is good to go to Jiangnan this time. Love
She wandered the streets, shouting in her ears, though very noisy, a feeling not experienced in the palace with one hand. My heart was extremely happy, and I thought of Xia Jingnian from time to time, presumably he had found himself gone.
But she didn't think much about it, she no longer stayed too much in the capital, but went straight to the pier, wanting to take a boat to Jiangnan.
"Boatman? But to Gangnam? Ji Qiang called, standing aside and looking at each other.
"Girl, exactly." The old boatman nodded, and smiled kindly.
Hearing this, Ji Qiang stepped on the ship and prepared to go to Jiangnan.
"Girl, are you alone?" The boatman looked at Ji Qiang alone, the journey from the capital to Jiangnan alone was very long.
"Hmm." Ji Qiang smiled, and the bright smile made the boatman look very fond of it.
"It is said that Jiangnan is good, and tourists should stay in Jiangnan until they grow old." Ji Qiang laughed, looking forward to the next journey, so much so that she forgot that there was another person waiting for her.
"Haha, the girl laughed. But Gangnam is a good place. It's spring now, and the river water is clearer than the blue sky! The boatman was rowing his oars, talking and laughing with Ji Qiang all the way.
The boatman's words made Ji Qiang's mood even more happy, he hadn't felt the outside world like this for a long time, and he exhaled softly.
"Do the boatmen know what good places to live in Jiangnan?" Ji Qiang began to plan for the next few days, after all, she didn't know much about Jiangnan, but she was just moved by the scene there.
"This ......," said the boatman, who laughed without thinking about it, "there is a village for tourists." The scenery is also too beautiful to say. ”
"Oh? Then go there. Ji Qiang said, and the smile appeared on her face again, which was fascinating.
The old boatman couldn't help but sing a little tune, and Ji Qiang listened quietly, adding a lot of fun along the way.
"What's this tune?" Ji Qiang is curious, this song is very provocative, and there is a fresh and refined feeling.
This is a folk tune that circulates in the Jiangnan area. The more tourists are sent, and the more they learn. The boatman continued to sing, and Ji Qiang hummed softly as she listened.
A few days later, Jiangnan was also close at hand. Ji Qiang looked at the place where she thought about it day and night, and her excitement suddenly rose.
"Girl, the bed is on the shore, sit tight." The boatman reminded, and the boat slowly docked.
"This is Jiangnan." Ji Qiang happily got off the boat, and after saying goodbye to the boatman, she went in the direction pointed by the boatman to find the whereabouts of the village.
In the past few days since Ji Qiang left, Xia Jingnian went to her bedroom every day, looking at the empty hall, but the degree of longing became deeper and deeper.
In just a few days, the whole person has fallen and become emaciated, which makes others very worried. When he didn't reply to the princess's proposal to find the queen's mother, he was rejected by Xia Jingnian.
She hasn't had enough fun, so it's going to be in a bad mood to call her back like this.
As soon as Ji Qiang saw the village in front of her, she was pulled by the aunt on one side to see the house. This is exactly what she wants.
The houses along the way are very much in her mind, but they are all inhabited. He was led to a room.
"Girl, do you like this house?" The aunt asked, with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Ji Qiang nodded. Surrounded by greenery, the environment is also beautiful, and the most important thing is that it is much quieter than the previous rooms, so Ji Qiang agreed without hesitation.
One person, one room, very comfortable.
