22. Long nights of deep contemplation and sleepless sleep

Xia Nuanyan was working hard for Jun Shinuo for a while, and Qingfeng also returned to the palace, she glanced at Xia Nuanyan slightly, and called, "Lord, princess." Then he stood to the side, with a calm face and no expression.

Jun Shinuo pulled Xia Nuanyan up, "Nuanyan, I'm fine, you're scared too, go down and take a rest." ”

"Well, well!" Xia Nuanyan glanced up at Qingfeng, as if she was a little understanding, but she couldn't say it, so she cleared the potion and withdrew.

As soon as Xia Nuanyan's front foot came out, the breeze passed, and she buckled the door, and took out an angular dart from her arms, the dart is in a quadrangular shape, a very ordinary weapon, which can be seen everywhere on the street, "Lord, in the teahouse, I found a few such darts, although they are common, they are also very sharp, sharpening iron like clay, I have checked it, the incision of the nail on the plaque is neat, it is conceivable, this is not an accident, it is for the princess." ”

Jun Shinuo looked at the darts, he did guess that it was not an accident, but Xia Nuanyan came to Chu State alone and did not contact too many people, if someone wanted to put her to death, in the end, was it for her personally, or for her identity as a princess, if it was the latter, it was nothing more than to provoke a war between Chu and Jing, and the biggest beneficiary was King Zhao Hou, what if it was the former?

"That's it, Qingfeng, you arrange it, let people secretly protect the princess all the time, but don't let it be too public, it's not good to startle the snake like this, remember, no matter what, you have to protect the princess."

"Qingfeng will do it."

"Also, a while ago, didn't Fu Bo say that the guard house went back to his hometown, let Fu Bo find someone with good skills to come back as soon as possible." Jun Shinuo suddenly remembered that to protect Xia Nuanyan, the mansion was the most important place.

Woke up in the middle of the night, Xia Nuanyan opened her eyes wide, she was cold beside her, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart, how many silent nights woke up, just like now, her heart was hesitant, there was nowhere to put it, she put on a light gauze cloak and got out of bed, pushed open the window, the wind blew the window lattice, and the residual candle swayed clearly under the lamplight.

Xia Nuanyan looked up at the 'Moon Pavilion' opposite, a trace of ripples flashed in her eyes, and her body trembled, this chill was triggered from her heart, and then spread, all the way to her eyes, if she kept persevering, would she be the same as herself, lonely at night, waking up from half sleep, and then, a desolation?

Xia Nuanyan walked to the desk in broken steps, sighed lightly, and wrote a poem:

Affectionate, thin, no one whispers in the middle of the night, and the lonely candle is red and the face is broken overnight.

Miserable, cold nights, long nights of deep thinking and sleeplessness, every inch of your heart is a king!

Putting down the pen, she suddenly remembered the words left by the concubine Niangniang: If you haven't seen and never regretted, Zongma grass song and children are happy, she shook her head gently, she thought, she should understand the loneliness of that mother, some words, if you can't say it, you will think deeply and resent, "Jun Shinuo, if I haven't seen and loved, presumably, I will also settle down on the prairie!" ”

In the morning, Qian Nan pushed open the door and saw Xia Nuanyan falling asleep on the desk, so she walked over cautiously, and saw the poem written by Xia Nuanyan last night, and pointed her fingertips at the words of the cold night, and sighed long.

Xia Nuanyan frowned and woke up, "Qiannan, what's wrong?" ”

"Princess, why are you asleep here, what should you do if you catch a cold?" Qiannan had a complaining tone.

"How can it be so noble," before the words were finished, Xia Nuanyan sneezed, hurriedly smiled, and said teasingly, "You see early in the morning, someone must be thinking about me, do you think it will be the prince?" ”

"It's the princess who misses the princess, and she writes all the words in her heart on her face, princess, let Qiannan comb your hair."

Xia Nuanyan raised her eyebrows and stretched her waist lazily, "Qiannan, you will laugh at me." ”

Qian Nan combed Xia Nuanyan's hair and said, "Actually, princess, Qian Nan didn't mean to laugh at you, but I never heard you say, how could you think about the prince so deeply." ”

"There are some things that have no reason, if you fall in love, you will fall in love, and the duty of love without hesitation is true love, or one day, you will understand." Xia Nuanyan didn't answer Qiannan directly, looking from the window, she happened to see Yan Wangyue dressed up, and Qianhuan was behind her, hanging a bamboo and blue seed.

"Qiannan, you must know, where is Miss Yan going, so dignified?"

"Back to the princess, today is the birthday of the fairy temple, Miss Yan is going to pray for blessings, I heard that the fairy temple is very accurate, whether it is to ask for blessings or marriage, you can get the favor of the fairy, Miss Yan will go early."

"Is it that accurate?"

"Yes, I heard that there is a forty-year-old mother-in-law, who gave birth to several daughters in a row, and wanted to have a son, last year's birthday in the fairy temple, she went to ask for a son, and then she had a child, and the whole Yuecheng people heard about it."

"Then let's go too, but let's keep a low profile."

"This, this, not very good, Princess!" Qian Nan squeaked, and her face was embarrassed.

"Why can't I go?"

"That's the case, it takes half a day to go to the fairy temple, and you have to take the mountain road, the mountain road is remote, there are many bandits, and the people in the house have also let Miss Yan call away, if the princess really wants to go, let's wait until tomorrow when the people are full, okay?"

"It's okay, ordinary bandits can't help me, if you don't go, then I'll have to go by myself." Xia Nuanyan looked at Qian Nan seriously, blinking with big eyes, showing that she had to go.

When Qiannan hesitated, she had to agree to go, but before going out, she still said to Steward Fu.

Yan Wangyue came to pray with a mighty crowd of people and horses, the abbot warmly greeted him, and the others retreated three feet, and after Yan Wangyue lit the first incense, they came forward to worship the Bodhisattva and salute the princess.

Qian Nan grabbed Xia Nuanyan, "Princess, if Qian Nan goes over to say hello to Miss Yan, and when we finish our visit, we will go back together, and we will also have a care, or the sun will set, and the mountain road is really not easy to walk." ”

"No need, just walk back how I got here." Xia Nuanyan raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Wangyue, who was smiling, presumably, she didn't want to meet herself in this situation. Xia Nuanyan turned a corner, walked into the inner hall, and listened to the whispering of others.

"I heard before that Princess Zhuang is a beautiful girl, and when I look at it today, it's not very good, it's all touted."

"That's it, looking at her, Princess Zhuang doesn't look like a blessed person, why did she let her marry a prince."

"Don't talk nonsense, I've heard, this is not Princess Zhuang, it's just the woman raised by Prince Zhuang in the mansion, a wife is not a wife, a concubine is not a concubine, of course there is no blessing."

"Listen, princess, this?"

"Qiannan, don't make too much trouble, call me Miss, go, I'll go over and ask for a signature." Xia Nuanyan whispered, passing through the crowd, everyone glanced at Xia Nuanyan, their eyes were stunned, and they looked at each other.
