Chapter 43
The fastest time in the world is time, even the emperor is helpless, as the saying goes: an inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time.
It doesn't matter how quickly the weather changes or how bad your mood is.
It doesn't affect the passage of time, no matter how much you wish it could pass a little slower, but the sun will always rise and set as usual, day and night.
Compared with Emperor Xiao Chenhao's anxious waiting, Nalan Zhiyu's inexplicable upset, although Nalan Yuruo's days are not colorful, but they are very fulfilling.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the first month of May, there will be dragon boat races everywhere, and there will be dragon boat races between the families in Beijing every year, and today the emperor will also come out of the palace to watch the dragon boat races.
Nalan Youruo did not go to the colorful shed built by the British Mansion by the river to watch, but asked Xiao Yunning and the two of them to go to Yiran Pavilion.
Originally, Wang Danyu, Gu Xin, the daughter of General Tiance, Xu Jiayi, the daughter of Zhennan Gong, and several others, as always, all sent a message to Nalan Youruo and asked her to watch the dragon boat.
But was rejected by Nalan Youruo, Nalan Youruo didn't like to watch dragon boat races, but he was really not in the mood to watch it this year.
She revealed to her second brother the news that Xiao Yunning was going to get married, and it had been so many days, but the second brother was a little flustered except for the beginning.
Judging from his recent performance, it seems that he has accepted this matter, and no matter how she mentions it, she can't see any flaws in his face.
This made Nalan Youruo a little unable to sit still, she was like this, and her cousin must be more anxious, so she took advantage of Nalan Zhiyu to go dragon boating today, and asked Xiao Yunning to come to Yiran Pavilion.
The British Duchess Zhou saw that her daughter had been frowning since she got into the carriage, and she looked preoccupied.
I couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking about whether my daughter would be unwell, so I asked, "Ningning, what's wrong with you, but you're not feeling well."
Nalan Youruo heard his mother's words, raised his head to look at his mother, saw his mother's worried face, and comforted him, "A-Niang is fine, I'm in good health, I'm just thinking about some trivial things" After speaking, he smiled.
When Zhou saw his daughter say this, he thought that his daughter had been staying in Sanssouci for the past few days and had not gone out, perhaps because he was thinking too much.
Seeing that his mother was still entangled, Nalan Youruo reached out to hold her mother's hand, and said with a slight smile, "Ah Niang, what can happen to my daughter, Ah Niang, don't worry"
"Well, if something happens, tell your mother, don't hold it in your heart alone" Zhou gently patted his daughter's hand.
"Hmm," Nalan nodded.
Zhou has been looking at his daughter, although her daughter said that there was nothing wrong, but she has been worried.
It seems that I have to have a good chat with my daughter to see what is hidden in my daughter's heart, or what grievances she has suffered.
Because she is afraid that her children will grow up, learn to report good news and not bad news, and when their children grow up, they will learn to carry all the things alone, learn to suppress all the grievances in their hearts, and learn to be silent.
Zhou saw that it was not far from Yiran Pavilion, and there were no two sons to accompany him today, so the two little girls were a little worried and carefully advised, "Ning Ning, if you and your cousin go to the street to play in a while, you must pay attention to safety."
Nalan Youruo knew his mother's concern and understood his mother's worries, and nodded seriously, "Mother, don't worry, and there are autumn rain and winter snow, you also know the kung fu of the two of them, and they will definitely protect me and my cousin."
Having said that, Zhou also knows the skills of autumn rain and winter snow, but today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the streets are crowded, and Zhou still can't let go, "Ning Ning, if you don't know the day to let your cousin come to the house, you and your mother go to watch the dragon boat race today!" ”
Nalan Youruo saw her mother like this, if she didn't let her rest assured, today her mother would probably worry all day "Auntie, my cousin and I won't come to the street, don't worry"
Seeing that his daughter was so persistent, Zhou could only nod his head, "Okay, go home early"
"Well, Ah Niang told the second brother that I was waiting for him to win the championship" put on the veil, and after speaking, he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Nalan watched as if he was in place, and the carriage turned around and couldn't see before he withdrew his gaze.
Take the two maids to the second floor on the right and walk leisurely.
Xiao Yunning watched the people coming and going downstairs, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
The sound of Nalan Youruo opening the door woke Xiao Yunning back to her senses and saw Nalan Youruo standing at the door.
"Cousin, I'm sorry, I'm late," Nalan said with a lot of guilt.
"It's okay, I just came here not long ago" Xiao Yunning smiled slightly.
After Nalan Youruo sat down, he let Qiu Yu, Dong Xue and Xiao Yunning's two maids go to the next room.
Nalan Youruo looked at Xiao Yunning, her face was a little bad, "Cousin, you have to take care of yourself,......." I can't say more.
The word love, such as people drinking water and knowing their own warmth, Nalan Youruo understands in his heart, but he doesn't know how to persuade him.
Xiao Yunning has been having trouble sleeping recently, but she knows that this can't change anything, compared to the days when there was no hope at all outside of the marriage contract between Nalan Zhifan and Tong Ya in the past few years, at least there is hope now.
And she also understands her cousin's intentions, she can't eat or sleep well by herself, so why worry about herself in her cousin.
"Ning Ning, you don't have to worry about me, besides, if you want your cousin to understand your own mind, it's not a matter of a day or two" Xiao Yunning looked at Youruo with a smile.
Nalan Youruo looked at his cousin's dark green eyes, his heart was a little sullen, and he said in a very low tone, "Oh"
Xiao Yunning couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, "sigh" picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
After thinking about it for so long, I have been watching this matter for so long, what can I do if I am in a bad mood, I can only feel uncomfortable in the end, "Ning Ning, don't be too demanding, cousin, go with him!" ”
Then he smiled with relief, the twisted melon is not sweet, why bother to let everyone worry about themselves, "I am lucky, I can't die, everything is fate,"
There are times in life that you have to have, and there is no time in your life to force Xiao, after these few days, Xiao Yunning has also figured it out, don't be too forceful in everything.
"But.........." Nalan Youruo was afraid that his cousin would give up like this, and wanted to say a few words.
was stopped by Xiao Yunning, "The cousin you said understands that my cousin will not let go easily" The love has opened until now, it is not a sentence that can be put down, maybe others can do it, but she Xiao Yunning can't do it.
"Okay, okay, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, you should be happy," Xiao Yunning gently pulled Nalan Youruo's face and said with a smile.
Nalan Youruo looked at his cousin who was smiling and smiling, and could only work hard to pull out a touch of Xiao that was more ugly than crying, "Hey, hey, it's okay!" ”
"Let's play chess," Xiao Yunning suggested.
"Okay" Nalan replied quietly, and casually took the chessboard and chess pieces on the side and put them on the table. Usually, because Nalan Youruo and others like to play chess, for convenience, leisurely Curie chess equipment and everything are available.
Then the two began to play chess, saying that playing chess was the best way to divert their attention, and if this was the case, gradually both of them devoted themselves to playing chess.
Temporarily forget all the unhappiness and anxiety in the past few days.
Emperor Xiao Chenhao regretted it at this moment and ran out to watch the dragon boat race, not that the dragon boat race was not good-looking, but he really couldn't stand the eyes of all the unmarried women present.
After hearing the news that the emperor was going out of the palace to see the dragon boat today, some of the ministers' daughters didn't want to come, but as soon as they heard that the emperor was coming, they immediately dressed up and showed up, hoping to get into the emperor's eyes.
Xiao Chenhao felt all the scorching gaze at this time, and to be honest, it was a bit like sitting on pins and needles.
Although Tong Ya seemed to be looking at the dragon boat, her eyes looked at the emperor from time to time, she used to think that those words that said that the emperor's appearance was the most handsome in the world were just because of the emperor's identity.
But since she returned to Beijing, she followed her grandmother into the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and happened to meet the emperor who came to greet the Queen Mother, and she realized that the rumors outside were true, and there were really men in the world who looked like fairies.
The emperor didn't say his identity first, just by his appearance, I am afraid that the women who have seen him will not be moved by it, and God really loves the emperor so much, giving him the supreme position in the world, and giving him the appearance of an immortal, and so on.
Anyway, in Tong Ya's opinion, the emperor is perfect.
In the end, the Nalan clan won the championship, and after the emperor rewarded a lot of things, he hurriedly left the scene and hurried back to the palace.
