Chapter 477: Longing for Freedom
"You did it yourself?" Xia Jingnian's body didn't move, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Jieyu, who was standing next.
Seeing Xia Jingnian's displeasure, the form was not good. She hurriedly stood back in her place, respectfully bent her knees and half-squatted to perform the palace salute, and replied: "Yes, this cake is made by the concubines one by one." ”
The knuckles with distinct bones and white jade-like knuckles twisted up a piece of flower cake, and the posture between movements was elegant. Xia Jingnian did not wear a dragon robe, he was still wearing a green shirt that he bought when he went out. The hot tea on the table was chewed and eaten slowly, as if to carefully taste the taste of each ingredient in the cake.
Ji Qiang looked at him sideways, forgetting that there was still a sunspot in his fingertips, and when he saw this "delicate and pretentious" look, he couldn't help but break the virtuous character of his own business, and almost laughed. She still had to take care of the queen's demeanor, and her whole face turned sideways and smiled at Xia Jingnian alone.
However, the posture of the two of them looked at from the perspective of Ye Jieyu's half-squatting, and they looked like the emperor and queen were in deep love and affection.
"I have tasted it carefully, why is it that Ye Jieyu, the flower cake you made is almost the same as the one made in the imperial dining room the day before yesterday? The master of the imperial dining room in the palace has been eating since I was a child, and my decades of craftsmanship are similar to yours. It's really when people are getting old, and their craftsmanship is getting more and more regressive. Xia Jingnian opened her mouth leisurely, and turned around to demean Ye Jieyu.
Hearing this, Ye Jieyu's body trembled, and she buried her face deeper and deeper. didn't dare to look at the previous Xia Jingnian, she still wanted to fight again, after all, there was no evidence that she didn't do it herself.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Ji Qiang sitting on the side and watching the play carefully. The heart of still persevering to the end fell to the bottom in an instant, she dared to lie to the emperor, but she did not dare to hide it from the queen. In her eyes, Ji Qiang was like the beast of the flood, wishing that the next moment she would have claws and teeth, and she would be eaten alive and chewed her flesh and bones.
Ji Qiang lowered her eyes to observe her actions, looking like an old god was there. I really don't know the nine twists and eighteen bends in her heart, if she knows, then she really has to grab Ye Jieyu's shoulder and shake her to her senses. How can I have that idle time, I am really wronged.
She didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, deceiving the Son of Heaven, if she was young, it was just a daughter's interest, but when she was older, it would be a crime of bullying the king. "It's the stuffing and puff pastry made in the imperial dining room, and the concubine made it herself......"
Ji Qiang interjected appropriately, "Sister, get up quickly, you've been doing a lot of politeness." If you want to say that this skin and core belong to someone else, how can it become your own? My sister is young and doesn't understand these shallow truths, right? ”
It's still very interesting to play the drama of this palace fight, and it is still very interesting to fall into the well reasonably. This rabbit was sent to the door by himself, and he had to give a stake to play this idiom story of "waiting for the rabbit".
Seeing Ye Jieyu's pale little face, which I saw pitiful, turned red visibly, Ji Qiang was very satisfied, it seems that she has played the role of the 'evil queen' today. She didn't know how to hate herself when she went back, and it was estimated that there would be twice as many books in the palace.
The beauty has tears in her eyes, and she is about to cry into a picture of pear blossoms with rain in late spring. Ji Qiang secretly poked Xia Jingnian, who was sitting indifferently on the side, and whispered: "Hurry up and coax a few words, give something to her, where to go to bed today, otherwise people will be sad." ”
She is usually too lazy to pay attention to these excerpts of "Gong Dou" on weekdays, but it is rare that she has some interest in watching the drama today, and she has to watch them all, so that Xia Jingnian can perform the play of "The Legend of Liang Zhu". 88
A poke, not moving; Two pokes, ignore ...... Ji Qiang and Xia Jingnian looked at each other, he also looked like he was watching a play, but he looked at himself with a bit of "Liang Shanbo" look. Ji Qiang shook her head, didn't play "Zhu Yingtai" with him, and said to Ye Jieyu:
"It's cool at night, and it's still cold. You also know that this palace is the coldest, be careful that the cold enters the body, sister go back and rest, don't suffer here in this palace. Ye Jieyu got the will, hurriedly bowed and left, and the coherent "reluctant, deep love" did not play again.
Sending Ye Jieyu away, Ji Qiang was too lazy to hold it again, her whole body nestled into the chair, holding a cup of tea and taking small sips. "It's so tiring to play their 'evil queen' every day, and I'm not really a villain, they are willing to rob me and can't wait to see it."
She just acted perfectly, and her acting skills were superb. There is a nameless fire hidden in her stomach, and she is unsatisfactory to be the queen of the middle palace, and she is unwilling. However, if you want to live in peace, you have to be forced to play a role by other women in this palace.
Xia Jingnian coaxed her, "You are a great good person, they have no eyes." You don't have to rob them, I'm yours alone. ”
"I'm going to grab a guy with a bunch of women! You said that if there is no emperor like you, why should the women in the harem compete for favor? Everyone sat down to eat a hot pot and grind rouge in harmony...... Anything is more interesting than competing for favor. The chair was uncomfortable, and the bones in the spine were bent and sore, Ji Qiang got up and walked to the back dormitory.
Xia Jingnian got up and followed, took her hand from the side, and shook her fingers. "If you don't have the emperor, are you still willing to stay in the palace? Still being sisters? You've been floating around in the three rivers and five seas for a long time. ”
Ji Qiang stopped and looked at him solemnly, her eyes flashed, and her expression was resolute: "You're right!" I really shouldn't be in the palace, the great rivers and mountains are waiting for me, I haven't been to the desert and snowfield, why do I have to stay in this palace with red walls and bricks, the sky is boxy, there are edges and boundaries. ”
Ji Qiang was coaxed by Xia Jingnian in his arms, "After Yu Xuan is sensible, let him take on the big responsibility." You and I fled the capital and went to live a secluded life. ”
Ji Qiang wanted to bury her head in his arms, but her hair was full of gorgeous but cold pearls, the queen's phoenix crown. She just leaned lightly, slowly souring her neck that she couldn't bear anymore.
"How long does it take to be sensible, and can you rest assured when you leave...... Yu Xuan Nianyu is only eight months, and there is still a long way to go. It's very long, and the concubines have to wear phoenix crowns, hold their necks high, and fight with women, men, and the living...... The fight is endless, and there is no ...... stop."
Xia Jingnian clenched his fists and hid them in his sleeves, so that no one could see them. He lowered his head and reverently placed a kiss on Ji Qiang's forehead, as if assuring, "Believe me." ”
"Okay." Ji Qiang met his gaze and nodded slowly.
After Moxuan Pavilion that night, Qiao Yingying returned to Qiao's mansion, and the heart of this young girl who was just opening her heart never stopped.
