Chapter 211 Clever provocation
From a distance, I saw an old man with gray hair and gorgeous clothes sitting there, although it was just a back, Ning Xiyue could still clearly feel the domineering spirit contained in that back.
Lowering her eyes, Ning Xiyue stepped forward and knelt lightly on the ground: "Xiyue sees the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed and healthy." ”
The answer to Ning Xiyue was not the sound, but a sultry wind, the weather at this time was hot, and the sun was shining hotly on the body, which was very unbearable.
Ning Xiyue knelt on the ground like that, although fine sweat was oozing from her forehead, her back was still straight.
"Get up!"
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Ning Xiyue stood up and looked at the old man in front of her, without too much emotion in her eyes.
I heard that the queen mother in front of her was very good when she was young, but now after the baptism of the years, the only thing Ning Xiyue saw was the only remaining domineering and endless loneliness.
The empress dowager and the emperor's confession can be said to be incompatible with each other, but even if they are old now, their power in Fuchen cannot be underestimated.
Behind Queen Lin Feng is the Lin family, and the Lin family supported the feudal inheritance at the beginning, so the current Lin family has such a heavy position in Fuchen State.
And behind the Queen Mother, there is the Yang family as the backing.
Although the current Yang family is low-key, Ning Xiyue is very sure in her heart that if the Queen Mother really wants to do something, Feng Cheng will definitely not be able to bear it.
Probably old, even if he stayed in this Bibo Court to recuperate, he didn't express the slightest dissatisfaction.
"I heard that Qingshu's portrait was painted by you."
With her eyes moving slightly, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "You are so bold to secretly paint a portrait of the princess." ”
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins."
Ning Xiyue lowered her head, her delicate brows furrowed.
Didn't Huan'er say that the Queen Mother was sick, why does she look normal now?
Or is the news that the Queen Mother is seriously ill is fake, and it is just a trick of the emperor's envoy, and the Queen Mother is just cooperating? Ning Xiyue deeply felt that she was already confused.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
The Queen Mother coughed heavily, and Jinxi on the side immediately took out the small porcelain bottle she was carrying, poured out a few pure white pills, and gently fed them to the Queen Mother.
The nose keenly smelled a strange fragrance, and Ning Xiyue's eyes flashed, this is ...... Poppy!
How could the Queen Mother take medicine with the smell of poppies, and what was wrong with the Queen Mother's body?
Despite her curiosity, Ning Xiyue still didn't ask much, and after the Queen Mother's body eased up, she saw that Ning Xiyue was still standing aside, and frowned: "Originally, the mourning family was going to punish you heavily today, but seeing that you are quiet and well-behaved, I am reluctant to punish you." ”
"Thank you Empress Dowager."
Ning Xiyue hooked her lips lightly, seemingly smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes.
The Queen Mother nodded and motioned for Ning Xiyue to leave.
As soon as Ning Xiyue left, Jinxi couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, why don't you punish this Ning Xiyue?" ”
Didn't you plan to punish this Ning Xiyue before, but what is going on now? Not only was it not punished, but it was put back?
"I'm tired of mourning."
The Queen Mother's face is unknown, Ning Xiyue is Ning Fu's daughter, and she is the crown princess who is about to be sealed, how can she move easily?
She originally planned to punish this Ning Xiyue with a small punishment, but this Ning Xiyue was so clever that she couldn't catch the slightest problem, and she happened to be unwell, so she could only let Ning Xiyue leave first.
Jinxi nodded and said softly: "Queen Mother, it will be your birthday in half a month, and the emperor will ask you if you have any ideas." ”
"Keep it simple."
The Queen Mother frowned, and did not have too many expectations for her birthday.
On the other side, Ning Xiyue went to the Imperial Palace.
Feng Yici was enjoying the flowers and drinking with Feng Huayin and several princes and princesses of Feng County, and when Ning Xiyue arrived, several people were in high spirits.
Looking around, it was the Seventh Prince Feng Ling who was the most depressed and had no energy.
Big dark circles, pale face, and bright eyes without focal length, everything proves that Feng Ling hasn't rested well at all recently.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ning Xiyue stroked her body: "Xiyue sees the princes." ”
"Get up!"
Ning Xiyue's elegance and politeness made Feng Yici very satisfied, and he deeply felt that looking at those daughters, none of them could compare to Ning Xiyue.
When the Queen Mother's birthday passed, he immediately asked his father to marry Ning Xiyue to him.
Feng Huayin narrowed his ink eyes slightly, and there was a trace of deep in his eyes.
I really don't know what this little thing has done to make Feng Ling so haggard.
"It turns out that several princes are drinking."
Smiling, Ning Xiyue continued: "How can there be no music for drinking and having fun, it's better for the little girl to play a song for you." ”
"That's very good."
Feng Yici nodded, and immediately instructed the palace people to prepare a guqin for Ning Xiyue.
Ning Xiyue sat on the chair, stroked the strings with both hands, hooked her fingertips, and a slow and very charming sound of the piano slowly sounded......
"Zheng ......"
The sound of the piano is melodious, and the seemingly calm music gradually becomes desolate, and the helpless bitterness in it is like the hand of the devil, which penetrates the depths of everyone's hearts little by little.
Feng Ling, who was wandering in the world, finally had another expression on his face, he first looked at Ning Xiyue in confusion, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, his wide eyes were full of shock and horror.
Isn't this Qingshu's favorite song, she used to play it often, how could Ning Xiyue be?
Panic filled the whole heart, Feng Ling only felt that Ning Xiyue, who was playing the piano, gradually overlapped with Qing Shu, Feng Ling shook his head vigorously, trying to distinguish the difference between the two people.
But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for Feng Ling to separate the two people, and the appearance of Qing Shu before his death appears in his mind again, and the ghost lingers.
"Get out of here!"
Feng Ling stood up abruptly, coldly and angrily scolded 'Qing Shu' who was playing the piano, and his eyes were even more like poisonous snakes, exuding cruelty.
Ning Xiyue's red lips hooked lightly almost invisibly, and stopped the action of playing the piano in her hand.
Feng Ling suddenly became sober, he looked at the group of people on the table who were watching him in a daze, and suddenly realized something, and secretly screamed badly.
"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you."
Feng Yici frowned, this Feng Ling is the most silent on weekdays, why is it so strange today.
First he sat there motionless in a daze, and then suddenly he yelled at what to think about.
"Prince, I ......"
Wiping the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead, Feng Ling looked at Ning Xiyue and said coldly, "What are you doing to play this song." ”
If it weren't for this sudden sound of the piano, he wouldn't have thought of Qingshu again.
Facing Feng Ling's questioning, Ning Xiyue said with an innocent expression: "Seven Princes, Xiyue is playing ordinary mountains and flowing water, which can be proved by everyone here." ”
Feng Yici's brows furrowed, and Feng Huayin's eyelids drooped: "Fourth prince, you are proficient in music and calligraphy and painting, tell me, what kind of song is this." ”
secretly scolded Feng Huayin's black belly, but Feng Jun still nodded, and said sincerely: "It is indeed high mountains and flowing water." ”
