Chapter 384: Flickering Xiao Ningyu
Under the leadership of the maid, Luo Qingluan met Xiao Ningyu in the garden of the princess's mansion. The cool lake breeze blows the white veil on the porch, drifting slowly, like a thin mist in the mountains. Floating above Xiao Linyu's head, she had a little more of a demure girl's temperament.
Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Ningyu's expression, staring intently at a book in his hand, looking intently. She had a longing-like smile on her face, as if she was immersed in it, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a girlish shyness and sweetness.
What book is so good? Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness Xiao Ningyu, the princess, didn't go out to play, but sat quietly in the pavilion by the lake and read a book?
"Princess, Miss Luo is here."
As soon as she heard the maid's voice, Xiao Ningyu was suddenly startled, and the book in her hand was almost thrown off, and she hurriedly stood up: "Luo, Sister Luo...... What are you doing here? β
Looking at Xiao Ningyu's appearance, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt funny. Xiao Ningyu was very arrogant when she saw her before, with a horizontal nose and vertical eyes, how could it be like now, like a mouse seeing a cat? It seems that Xiao Ningyu was choked enough last time, and finally made Her Royal Highness the princess obedient.
Luo Qingluan didn't care about Xiao Ningyu's behavior, walked into the pavilion generously, and glanced at her: "What book are you reading, so interesting, so fascinating?" β
Xiao Ningyu reacted at this time, looking embarrassed and blushing slightly. The maid next to her immediately picked up the book and handed it to her, but Xiao Ningyu hurriedly hid the book behind her, looking dying: "No, nothing, Sister Luo, it's just an idle book." β
She hurriedly diverted the topic: "Sister Luo, is there something wrong with coming to me today, today?" Xiao Ningyu was full of apprehension, she finally found a book to read quietly in the house, and she was reading it energetically.
The story in this book she had never seen before, it was so interesting. Just said that Du Shaoxia took every effort to finally marry Miss Meng, she really wanted to see the plot of the two of them in the cave room, but she didn't expect Luo Qingluan to come, almost scared her to death.
Since he came to ask Xiao Ningyu for help, Luo Qingluan would definitely not miss the book that Xiao Ningyu was reading. But when she looked at the blue cover, wasn't this the book of enmity and enmity just launched by Shengshi Bookstore? Could it be that Xiao Ningyu is also obsessed?
"Is this book so good?" Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Ningyu, stretched out his hand towards her, and motioned for Xiao Ningyu to show her the book.
"This ...... You alright. "Xiao Ningyu is fragmented. She can't figure it out, what is Luo Qingluan going to do?
Holding the book in her hand, Xiao Ningyu hesitated for a long time before slowly handing it over, looking reluctant. Luo Qingluan took the book casually and turned a few pages, it was indeed the whole book of the enmity and enmity record of the rivers and lakes. About a quarter of the story is about the same thing, and the rest is the rest of the story.
Luo Qingluan was not particularly interested in this story, and went directly to the last look, and it was indeed the kind of clichΓ© happy ending. Du Shaoxia became famous, became the emperor's imperial sword, and also took the only daughter of Lord Taishou, Miss Meng, the couple is deeply affectionate, this Du Shaoxia is simply a winner in life.
No wonder Xiao Ningyu is so energetic, which really satisfies her girl's yearning for love.
Looking at Luo Qingluan's flipping through the book, Xiao Ningyu asked tentatively, "Sister Luo, have you also read this book?" β
Luo Qingluan was noncommittal: "I've seen it, but I haven't finished reading it." β
To say that I have seen it is also an exaggeration. She just doubled it casually, listened to the first part of the story, what was said in the middle, she didn't have to guess it, where was she still interested in reading?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard Luo Qingluan say that she had seen it, the timid expression in Xiao Ningyu's eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a touch of excitement. She flattered her, took Luo Qingluan's arm, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Luo also likes this book, so I said, this book is so interesting, I have never seen such a good look, no wonder Sister Luo likes it too." β
Thinking that what Luo Qingluan said was true, Xiao Ningyu talked endlessly, and discussed with Luo Qingluan what he liked the most in the book. What twists and turns did Du Shaoxia go through, what hardships, and finally married Miss Meng. Looking at Xiao Ningyu's emotional look, I wish I was Miss Meng, and I also married a handsome young man with such ability and demeanor as Du Shaoxia.
Luo Qingluan felt a little emotional, although she felt that the book of Shengshi Book was not very good, but she couldn't stand the fact that everyone liked it. Obviously, everyone has not seen such a thing before, at least it satisfies the feeling that everyone likes at the moment, otherwise how could it sell so well?
"Why didn't you realize that the princess liked to read?" Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Ningyu with a smile, "This hobby is not bad, it is worth cultivating." β
Although Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Ningyu with a smile, Xiao Ningyu was really scared by Luo Qingluan, and she didn't understand her intentions, so she didn't dare to speak rashly for a while. She made a look, and the maid next to her immediately noticed it, and hurriedly brought all kinds of melon and fruit snacks and put them in front of Luo Qingluan: "Miss Luo, please use them." β
Although it was cloudy today, the sun was covered by clouds, and it didn't seem so hot, but after all, it was summer, and Luo Qingluan was still a little sweaty along the way. She ate a slice of watermelon and drank a cup of herbal tea slowly, then put down the cup and said what she meant.
"Does Her Royal Highness know how the Queen Mother is doing? Did you go into the palace to see her? β
Speaking of this, Xiao Ningyu suddenly felt ashamed. Although she knew that her mother was seriously ill and lying in bed, she only went twice and did not go again. Anyway, she can't help, she can only be anxious and sad when she goes to see it, there is no way at all.
Once again, when she was anxious and upset, she accidentally passed by the Shengshi Book Store and found this book. Originally, Xiao Ningyu just wanted to take it back to relieve her boredom, but she didn't know that she looked energetic when she saw it, and completely left Queen Wei's illness behind.
Now when she heard Luo Qingluan say this, Xiao Ningyu's face suddenly turned red: "I, how is my queen mother?" β
Since Luo Qingluan said so, he must know something, Xiao Ningyu looked at Luo Qingluan with a look of hope: "Is it that Sister Luo just came out of the palace, is my queen mother okay?" β
"Could it be that Her Royal Highness the princess hasn't gone to see the queen yet?" Luo Qingluan was a little surprised, this Xiao Ningyu couldn't help but be too playful, and he didn't care about the physical condition of his queen mother, so he really should teach him a lesson.
"People and people just forgot about it for a while, I ...... I'll go see the queen mother right away. Xiao Ningyu looked restless, for fear that Luo Qingluan would tell her a big reason again and teach her a lesson, so she almost ran away without pulling her legs.
Luo Qingluan saw her stand up, and hurriedly stopped her: "Princess, where are you going?" I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you panicking about? The queen mother is fine, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down to tell me, let you rest assured. β
Hearing this, Xiao Ningyu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I thought something happened to the queen mother!" Sister Luo, did you cure the queen mother? β
Although she was afraid and hated of Luo Qingluan, she also knew Luo Qingluan's medical methods, since she could easily let her lie in bed for two or three days, and it was fine, then it should be easy for Luo Qingluan to cure her mother's condition.
Luo Qingluan didn't like Xiao Ningyu's heartlessness very much, but she also knew Xiao Ningyu's identity, she had been spoiled since she was a child, and she wanted her to take the initiative to care about someone, but it was a little difficult, since the purpose of her coming was not really for Queen Wei, it was just an excuse, so Luo Qingluan said it directly.
"Since the princess didn't care about the queen's condition, something is wrong, right? After all, as a daughter, you always have to do some filial piety. If you don't care about your mother again, do you really want to make her feel cold? β
When Xiao Ningyu heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, Sister Luo, I just forgot about it for a while, and it will definitely not be next time." β
Luo Qingluan was still giving him a fierce medicine: "Are you just going to see the queen mother empty-handed?" Shouldn't it be a little indicative either? β
Xiao Ningyu couldn't figure it out, as a princess and the daughter of the queen mother, what else did she have to buy? Do you want to bring any gifts to see your mother?
wanted Xiao Ningyu to absolutely cooperate, Luo Qingluan also used hard work. At the moment, he gave Xiao Ningyu a good lecture, saying that Empress Wei had just recovered from a serious illness, if she could do something fun to make Empress Wei happy, wouldn't it be filial piety?
Only then did Xiao Ningyu know Luo Qingluan's intention.
thought that she was entrusted by her brother Xiao Yuqi, so she came to her, and she didn't doubt it at the moment, so she directly listened to Luo Qingluan: "Is it really possible?" β
Xiao Ningyu's big eyes flickered, and she didn't believe it: "It turns out that Sister Luo's idea is to let the queen mother listen to the play, but the queen mother hasn't heard any plays, so she probably won't be too interested, right?" β
Luo Qingluan didn't explain, and directly asked Xiao Ningyu to choose the number of actors to act first, and then gave her a rough description of the role. After speaking, Luo Qingluan looked Xiao Ningyu up and down. With this look, Xiao Ningyu's heart was furious: "Sister Luo, why do you look at me like this?" β
Luo Qingluan said: "I think Her Royal Highness the princess is suitable for one of the roles, if you play it and play it for the queen mother in person, do you think the queen mother will be happy?" β
"Acting?" Xiao Ningyu's eyes flashed with joy.
Acting is such a thing, she never thinks that it is only done by subordinates, originally Xiao Ningyu is only a fifteen-year-old girl, she feels new about everything, she used to try to act by herself to have fun, but her father and queen mother stopped her. said that these things were not what her princess should do, Xiao Lingyu just gave up, and now that Luo Qingluan said so, she suddenly became interested again.
"But if the queen mother found out, would she be angry? In the past, the queen mother and the emperor didn't let me touch these. β
Luo Qingluan smiled faintly: "As a princess, you are just doing your filial piety to the queen, and this is just a play, and you are not asked to do these things all day long." Whether it's Your Majesty or Niangniang, they will know your mind. β
Since Luo Qingluan said so, Xiao Ningyu was more relieved at the moment, anyway, she knew that Luo Qingluan and her brother Xiao Yuqi had a good relationship, and if she really upset her father and queen mother, Luo Qingluan would naturally intercede with his prince and brother, anyway, she had fun and her filial piety was exhausted, so what were you afraid of?
Waiting until the next day, Luo Qingluan gave Xiao Ningyu the rehearsal book, she only read a few pages, and it was like a treasure. The book she read before was much worse than this, and although the enmity record was interesting, it was also the story of ordinary people. But this 'Legend of the White Snake' is different, it's a shemale love? It's so romantic!
"Sister Luo, this drama is so interesting, do you want me to play this white lady?" Xiao Ningyu looked at Luo Qingluan expectantly, "Okay, good, absolutely no problem!" β
