Chapter 38: Prepare with both hands
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Just when Ning Xiuhan was about to reach out to pick up the token that was already in Chu Lingyu's hand, suddenly a sharp voice came from behind him, and Ning Xiuhan trembled in his heart, as if he had done something bad, for fear of being discovered, he suddenly retracted his hand again.
"I'm here to protect my father-in-law......"
Ning Xiuhan squeezed out a sneer on his face, in the entire East Palace, the last thing Ning Xiuhan wanted to face was the father-in-law in front of him.
Lai Bao is a person who has served the emperor before, because the emperor loves Chu Lingyu, and because Chu Lingyu is too gentle, he is afraid that Chu Lingyu will be bullied in the future, so when he was dying, he rewarded Chu Lingyu with his usual great eunuch.
Although he is old, his eyes are not dazzling or deaf, and his mind is clear, I don't know why, every time Ning Xiuhan faces him, there is always a little unnatural in his heart, as if those somewhat cloudy eyes can always see through people's hearts.
"Yo, it turns out that Ning Gongzi is also here."
Lai Bao has a grade, so when facing Ning Xiuhan, he can still straighten his waist - in fact, in the entire East Palace, except for the crown prince Chu Lingyu, there is really no one who can make Lai Bao bend over.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drunk, and he was about to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace to rest, but it happened that his father-in-law came......"
Ning Xiuhan's hand behind his back was tightly clenched into a fist, and he lowered his head stiffly, for fear that as soon as he raised his head, he would be seen clearly by Lai Bao in his heart.
In just a few moments, I will be able to hold the waist card of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in my hand!
Ning Xiuhan suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart, not only because of the sudden appearance of Laibao, but also because of the cowardice and resentment that suddenly poured out of himself!
After all, Laibao is just a father-in-law, how can he make himself so scared?!
"Since this is the case, the old slave will help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go back to the palace first, and Ning Gongzi will take care of himself."
Lai Baopi glanced at Ning Xiuhan without smiling, paused, and added a sentence later: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent by nature, but it does not mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be deceived by others!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank too much tonight, if he said something that should not be said, I hope that Ning Gongzi will bear with him, otherwise if the two compartments are confronted, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not remember at all, and I am afraid that it will be our East Palace if I am embarrassed! ”
These words resounded in Ning Xiuhan's ears like a thunderbolt, Ning Xiuhan's heart was fierce, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile from his face, and stammered: "Yes, I naturally know below, please rest assured that my father-in-law is not such a person who doesn't know things......"
"One glory and one loss, Ning Gongzi knows this truth, it is very good...... It's not early, Ning Gongzi doesn't have to wander around, the inner courtyard of the deep palace is no better than the outside, Ning Gongzi, it's so self-conscious! ”
Throwing down such a sentence, Lai Bao trembled and helped Chu Lingyu back to the dormitory.
Looking at the backs of the two, Ning Xiuhan bit his lower lip and took a few breaths before he could barely suppress the resentment in his heart.
Could it be that the result is really that he is not in agreement with the eight characters of this East Palace?
Why do you think it's going to be a success, but you just jump out of a person and ruin your own big thing?!
Angry and returned to his room, Ning Xiuhan tossed and turned, and stayed awake all night.
Looks like you'll have to prepare for both......
Thinking of the people who had been eyeing him in the past few days, Ning Xiuhan's heart flashed with a touch of calculation.
Jade and Palace.
"Princess, princess!"
Zijuan shouted for a while, broke into Jingyi's bedroom, and before Jingyi could pull down her face, she said anxiously: "Princess, the slave maid just heard the news, saying that it is the son of Ning Xiu Hanning in the East Palace, who seems to have plans to leave the East Palace, and is now packing up his things there!" ”
"What?!"
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, holding in her throat the words that she wanted to blame Zijuan just now, and hurriedly asked, "Why did he suddenly want to leave?" ”
"Actually, in fact, this matter has something to do with you, princess......"
Zijuan glanced at Jingyi a little timidly, and saw that Jingyi's brows were tightly wrinkled together, and then hurriedly spoke: "I heard that last night, Ning Gongzi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a big quarrel, and Ning Gongzi felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was acting biased and hurt you, the princess, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care, so, Ning Gongzi was angry, and wanted to leave ......."
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, thinking of yesterday's events, and a burst of mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Biting her lower lip to calm down her mood a bit, Jing Yi asked in a low voice, "What you just said is true?" He, is he really disobedient to the prince's brother because he spoke for me, and made the prince's brother unhappy? ”
"Yes, princess!"
Zijuan hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic: "Didn't you tell the slaves and maids to keep an eye on Ning Gongzi, Sister Ziling always didn't care, but the slaves and maids were different from Sister Ziling, the slaves and maids thought that no matter what the princess ordered, as a slave and maid, it was right to only do it!" So, so the slave maid knew the news a little earlier than Sister Ziling......"
In the middle of a few words, he put on small shoes for Ziling again.
It's just that Jingyi was already in a mess at this time, and she didn't care about Zijuan's slander at all.
Originally, he just wanted to sabotage the marriage between Jing Yuan and Ning Xiuhan, but he never thought that Ning Xiuhan would be so good to himself, and would rather collide with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of a princess like him who had never seen him?!
How could this person be so stupid......
I don't know why, Jingyi has the urge to cry at this time.
I originally thought that something like yesterday happened, and everyone had to avoid themselves, but I didn't expect that there were still people willing to speak for themselves at this time.
Suddenly, Jingyi thought of an idea, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"You go and send a message to Ning Gongzi, just say, just say, 'The willow tops on the moon, people will make an appointment after dusk'!"
Jingyi gritted her teeth and ordered Zijuan with a red face.
As soon as Zijuan's eyes "purred", she understood what Jingyi meant, got up with a smile, blinked her eyes, and said meaningfully to Jingyi: "Please rest assured, the princess, the slave and maid will definitely bring the words, except for Ning Gongzi, no one will know!" Merely...... It's just that if Sister Ziling knows, I'm afraid that the slave and maid will be blamed for not reporting it, so the slave and maid begged the princess, can this matter be hidden from Sister Ziling? Otherwise, or ......"
"Afraid of what?"
Jingyi raised her eyebrows, and her face suddenly became stiff: "You are doing things for Princess Ben, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" ”
However, looking at Zijuan's eyes, Jingyi's mind turned, and a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly: "You will wait in the dormitory tonight, Ziling, and the princess will send her to do something else later." ”
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "As long as you can do things for this princess wholeheartedly, this princess will definitely see it in her eyes and remember it in her heart!" ”
"Slave and maid, thank you princess for your love!"
Hearing this, Zijuan's whole person was very happy, and he couldn't wait to fly to Ning Xiuhan immediately and report the good news!
However, since there is Jingyi, Zijuan will go to Ning Xiuhan again, and it will be much brighter.
"Miss Purple Juan is really smart and lovely, no wonder the princess likes you so much."
Ning Xiuhan's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zijuan's face red, and his heart beat faster.
"Ning, Ning Gongzi has won the award, the slave is just a little palace maid, where can she deserve Ning Gongzi's praise? It's just that fortunately, the slave and maid do not disgrace their mission, and the slave and maid dare not ask for anything else, but only ask the son to remember the help of the slave and the maid today, and in the future, I hope that the son will have more mercy in ......the future."
The last few words, Zijuan also plucked up the courage to speak, and after speaking, his face was even more flushed.
Ning Gongzi is such an immortal-like character, how can he be imagined by a little palace maid? If you want to be by Ning Gongzi's side for a long time, you can only wait for the princess to marry Ning Gongzi, and become Ning Gongzi's concubine as the palace maid who marries......
Fantasizing about the moment that made his face red, Zijuan couldn't help but raise his head and secretly glanced at Ning Xiuhan.
In fact, Ning Xiuhan had already discovered Zijuan's self-initiated "investigation", so early this morning, Ning Xiuhan talked to Zijuan about the conditions - as long as Princess Jingyi can be cared for herself, then Ning Xiuhan will definitely not disappoint Miss Zijuan in the future.
Ning Xiuhan has always been very confident in his charm - handsome appearance, elegant conversation, profound talent, Ning Xiuhan even believes that if it weren't for his humble background, he would even be worthy of the title of "the first son in the world"!
Although she suffered a setback in Princess Jingyuan, it would not damage Ning Xiuhan's confidence, but instead had the strength to become more and more frustrated.
"Alas, speaking of which, the girls in the same purple juan are all pitiful people, and they can be regarded as sympathetic to each other, and the girls don't have to be so arrogant......"
Ning Xiuhan sighed deliberately, and his eyes flashed: "It's also because of his humble background, so he is always looked down upon...... Purple Juan, please rest assured, Zai Xia is not a wolf-hearted person, if there is really a further opportunity in the future, you will definitely not forget Zijuan Girl's help! ”
"With the words of the childe, the slave and maid are willing to go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire for the sake of the son!"
Zijuan raised his head excitedly, but he happened to look at Ning Xiuhan's peach blossom eyes, Zijuan only felt that those eyes seemed to have an indescribable magic that deeply attracted him, sinking is sinking, betrayal is betrayal, as long as he can do something for Ning Xiuhan, he is really willing to die.
Ning Xiuhan's lips crossed an arc, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he said in a gentle tone: "You go back first, remember to be quiet, don't be known by others, the princess's reputation matters!" ”
"Yes......"
Zijuan Fu responded, but inexplicably, a trace of sourness surged in his heart.
