Chapter 118: Playing the Game

Xiao Ningyu is very cold!

Her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body trembled slightly, if she hadn't smeared a layer of rouge on her face when she went out, she was afraid that she would have turned pale. In order to leave a good impression on Nalan Night, she specially chose a set of palace clothes made of goose cloud yarn today, with a faint pink and orange color, and a circle of fine fragrant snow orchid patterns on the hem, which is soft and not eye-catching, and can reflect her youth. It's a pity that the material is too light and thin, and the warmth is poor.

Even the earrings, bracelets and hairpins she usually wears are all carefully selected to express her beauty to the fullest. But it's a little cold, and the jewelry that I usually feel light and fluttering has become cold and sticking to my muscles. The skin is like an ice cube.

The surrounding scenery is indeed good, but Xiao Ningyu is standing at the bow of the boat at this time, and the cool breeze blowing in her face seems to have passed through the water vapor, and it looks more and more cold.

Endure! You have to hold back!

Xiao Ningyu kept telling herself that it was easy to see the person she liked again in five years, and she must not lose her temper in front of Nalan Ye. Even if she would get a cold when she went back, or even a serious illness, she would at least have to endure the hours in front of her.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, your mansion is really beautiful and beautiful, and it deserves to be the most beautiful place in the capital." Xiao Ningyu tried her best to control herself, not letting her voice tremble a little, and squeezed out a dignified smile on her face: "My brother and I have just arrived, and we are not familiar with the capital of Western Chu, it would be great if we could have a guide to take us around." ”

"Your Majesty said before that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will entertain us during this time, I don't know tomorrow...... Can His Royal Highness the King of Chu accompany Yu'er to Puguo Temple to offer incense? Xiao Ningyu was shy and gentle, and said affectionately: "When I came to Xichu, I heard that the incense of Puguo Temple was effective, and Yu'er wanted to go and see it." ”

As if looking at the water, Nalan Ye didn't even turn his eyes, and still said indifferently: "It's just a temple, princess, why bother asking for these clay figures?" ”

"But people say it's very effective, huh?"

Hearing Nalan Ye's refusal, Xiao Ningyu said coquettishly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it was your Majesty of Western Chu who said that you should take care of me, and people want to go to Puguo Temple to have a look, okay?" As she spoke, she pouted and pulled Nalan Ye's sleeve and shook it constantly.

Xiao Yuqi looked at it and hurriedly persuaded him: "Okay sister, since the king of Chu said it was boring, then don't go." If you are bored, you can find the third princess to play with you, she is the same age as you......"

Xiao Ningyu glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "I don't want it!" They just want His Royal Highness the King of Chu to accompany him, okay......"

Unmoved, as if it was a branch pulling his sleeve, Nalan Ye's eyes turned and fell on Xiao Ningyu's shy and timid face. The latter's heart suddenly beat, and he lowered his head shyly, and heard him say, "Since Princess Duanrou wants to go, then go." ”

"Great!"

Just cheered in surprise, Xiao Ningyu hadn't finished speaking, and listened to Nalan Ye continue: "It just so happens that the princess has nothing to do recently, and the old grandmother is also thinking about going back to Puguo Temple to continue cultivating, so let's go together in two days." ”

"What? Princess? And who is the old grandmother? Xiao Ningyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she suddenly felt bad.

A smile finally appeared on Nalan Ye's face, and said: "The princess and the crown prince don't know, this king just married the princess last month, and she is the young lady of my Xichu General's Mansion. The old grandmother is the grandmother of the princess, and the king respects her very much, since Princess Duanrou wants to go to Puguo Temple, then the king will tell the princess that he will send someone to Yue's house to tell the old grandmother, and after about three or five days, he can accompany Princess Duanrou to Puguo Temple. ”

Actually, actually...... Nalan Ye has married and married a concubine!

This news was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Xiao Ningyu froze on the bow of the boat on the spot, cold from head to toe.

From the first time he saw Nalan Ye, Xiao Ningyu never forgot it, and this time he came to Xichu to see him again, Xiao Ningyu had already planned to tell his father that he wanted to marry him after the Four Nations Congress returned. Although Nalan Ye is a native of Western Chu, his power and demeanor are unmatched, if he can marry Nalan Ye, not only will it be beneficial to the two countries, but she will also get the best of both worlds.

But now that Nalan Ye said that he had married the princess, and he still looked in love, Xiao Ningyu only felt that his dream was broken!

"It turns out that Lord Chu is already married? Why didn't you see the princess? ”

Xiao Yuqi naturally understood his sister's intentions, and although he was a little surprised, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Nalan Ye has married, it is impossible for his sister to marry him, Nalan Ye is such a terrible and unfathomable person, it may not be a good thing for his sister to marry him. Nalan Ye is definitely not something that can be restrained by a woman, and it just makes my sister die!

As he was talking, Nalan Ye's eyes moved, and he chuckled: "The princess is here." ”

Following his gaze, Xiao Yuqi and Xiao Ningyu looked towards the shore of the lake at the same time, only to see a white-clothed beauty standing by the embankment. There is only one girl beside her, about twenty-eight years old, with long hair and waist, delicate and beautiful, and she has a dusty demeanor.

Xiao Yuqi seemed to be stunned, he didn't expect Princess Chu to be such a young girl, but her demeanor and bearing were all excellent, and even he was a little amazing. Xiao Ningyu's eyes shrank, staring directly at Luo Qingluan, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"Lord, the princess is here, but she wants to dock?" At this time, a subordinate came to ask for instructions.

Xiao Ningyu blurted out: "Don't dock, I haven't played enough!" For a moment, the thought came out of nowhere, she didn't want this woman to approach Nalan Ye. Even though she knew that the woman in white was the princess of Chu and the lady that Nalan Yeming Media was marrying, she just didn't want the other party to get on the boat.

"Yu'er, Princess Chu is here, what are you making trouble?" Xiao Yuqi frowned and said, "It should be enough to play for so long, I still have something to talk about with King Chu, if you are bored, just go and talk to the princess." ”

She doesn't want it! Xiao Ningyu grabbed Xiao Yuqi and pouted at him arrogantly: "Brother Prince!" I don't want to get off the boat, people haven't had enough fun, don't let the boat dock! After speaking, she looked at Nalan Ye again, Chu Chu pitifully coquettish: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Yu'er doesn't like so many people on the boat, it's too noisy and uncomfortable." You let the princess wait on the shore first, otherwise go back first, okay? You can play with Yu'er for a while. ”

"Yu'er, why are you becoming more and more disobedient? The princess came to find the King of Chu, there must be something, how can you pester the King of Chu to play with us? Xiao Yuqi's head was big, for fear that Nalan Ye would be dissatisfied because of this, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"I don't want it, I don't want it! Don't get off the boat! No docking! "In any case, Xiao Ningyu just didn't agree, and she was coquettish.

With a faint smile, Nalan didn't mind at night, and said: "Since the princess likes to cruise ships, then just swim for a while, and tell me to go down, don't need to dock, just send someone to tell the princess and let her go back first." ”

"Yes, lord." Immediately a servant answered, and then lowered a small boat from the stern of the boat and rowed towards the shore.

On the shore, Luo Qingluan saw a maid-like person coming over under the leadership of the people of the palace, she didn't seem to have seen this maid, and judging from her dress, it was a bit like the style of Dongwanguo, it should be the maid next to Xiao Yuqi or Xiao Ningyu.

The maid came over, bowed her head slightly at Luo Qingluan, and didn't even do a blessing, so she said, "This is the princess of Chu, right?" The king of Chu said that he wanted to accompany our princess to swim in the lake, and it was inconvenient to let the painting boat dock for the time being, and asked the princess of Chu to wait for a while. ”

"What do you say? The prince actually asked the princess to wait? Dai Yue was a little unconvinced and taken aback.

Glancing at Dai Yue lightly, the maid said arrogantly: "It was said by the King of Chu himself, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people of your Chu Palace." ”

The person waiting next to him immediately said: "Yes, princess, the prince did order so, and the prince also said that if the princess is bored, she can go back to the room to rest first." ”

"Did you hear that, that's what the King of Chu said, and asked the princess to bear with me. After all, our princess is a guest, and besides, there is also our Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince should accompany the guests more, so the princess will not be angry, right? The maid smiled non-controllably, and a smug look flashed in her eyes.

The subordinate just wanted to explain again, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the princess, the prince also said that he would accompany the ancestor back to Puguo Temple in a few days, and also asked the princess to accompany him." As long as the princess is happy, she can play whatever she wants. ”

Nalan Ye actually said such a sentence? What is the meaning?

Luo Qingluan was a little puzzled, so he heard Dai Yue say angrily: "The prince snubbed the princess so much in front of outsiders, how can the princess still be happy?" ”

"How can the princess be happy, it doesn't matter about our princess, the words have been brought, the princess, please take care of yourself." After the maid finished speaking, she returned to the boat with a proud face, and then slowly approached the painting boat in the center of the lake, leaving Luo Qingluan and Dai Yue standing by the lake.

Dai Yue was angry, but Luo Qingluan was thoughtful.

Nalan Ye deliberately said this sentence, which seems to mean something! Let her play as she pleases, as long as she is happy? Didn't he know that to accompany this princess in front of her was to deliberately save her face? Nalan Ye said so again, could it be......

Thinking of this, Luo Qingluan turned around and left.

"Hey, Miss, wait, where are you going?" Dai Yue followed behind and said hurriedly.

"Go find Manager Song." Luo Qingluan said.

Dai Yue was puzzled, the young lady was snubbed by the prince, how could she still have the heart to find the housekeeper? She asked, "Miss, what are you looking for Manager Song?" ”

Luo Qingluan didn't explain, and found the head of the Chu Palace's mansion for a while, who was counting the gift list on the day of marriage in the warehouse, as well as the matter of returning the gift, when he saw Luo Qingluan coming, he hurriedly smiled and said: "I've seen the princess, but the princess is looking for a villain?" ”

"The prince is happy today and wants to play a game with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwan Kingdom!" Luo Qingluan laughed and said, "You quickly find a few people with good water quality to go to Lihu Lake and chisel the bottom of the painting boat that the prince is riding, so that no one is allowed to find out, do you hear?" ”

Manager Song was stunned when he heard this, the prince actually wants to play a game, this sun comes out of the west, right?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to chisel a painting boat when playing games?" ”

"Because the prince is going to compete with the prince to swim, see whose water is good?" Luo Qingluan smiled and said, "Manager Song doesn't go quickly, if you can't chisel and the boat doesn't sink within half an hour, this princess will sink you to Lihu!" ”
