Chapter 160
Holding the two wooden boxes carrying the deep friendship of Ning Feng and Ning Xue, she left Ning Mansion as she wished, Ning Yue had indescribable warmth and happiness in her heart, thinking of the freedom at her fingertips and the life she had longed for for a long time, her clear eyes flashed with joy. The afternoon sun is bright and dazzling, reflecting the cloudless sky is exceptionally blue and bright, which makes people look forward to the refreshment. Ning Yue looked back at the plaque in front of the Ning Mansion and smiled indifferently, the only trace of reluctance in her eyes immediately dissipated in the wind.
The war dragon stared at Ning Yue's side face with lowered eyes, his calm gaze implied watery tenderness, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently smiled. "I'm hungry."
Ning Yue then remembered that Zhan Long had not entered the rice for most of the day for his own business, and his heart was full of guilt, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Go to Yipinlou." After speaking, Zhan Long lifted the burden on Ning Yue's shoulders with one hand, and walked forward slowly without hesitation, looking like he was quite familiar with the roads in the city. Ning Yue didn't think much about this, and hurriedly took a step to follow.
After turning a few street corners, the two came to the front of the Yipin Building, which is famous in the capital. Seeing that the two of them were dressed in cold clothes, Xiao Er wanted to step forward to expel them, but his hands were numb from a piece of gold ingots thrown by the war dragon, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Although the palm of his hand was no longer sensational, he could still feel the weight of the gold ingot, and he couldn't help but be amazed at the magnanimity of his hand. Knowing that this person was either rich or expensive, Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly smiled and took the two to an Accord on the top floor to entertain them. The other juniors in the store came to hear the news, and one by one they came in to pour tea and water, and introduced the dishes to the two of them. Ning Yue had never been waited on like this, so she couldn't help but be cramped. Seeing this, the war dragon's face sank and he glared angrily. The little two were shocked by its might, and they were all frightened, and they didn't even care about the reward, and they withdrew out of the door in a panic, and then remembered that the two had not ordered food, and in desperation, they had to serve all the signature dishes.
The balcony of the Accord is facing the most prosperous street in the city, and as far as the eye can see, there is a lot of traffic, bustling, and very lively. Since Xiao Er covered the door with interest, the interior of the Accord suddenly became a lot quieter, and at this time, the sound of boiling people from the street made Ning Yue feel at ease.
"Taste it." The war dragon sent the fish with the fish bones removed to Ning Yue's bowl, then put down the double chopsticks and watched her quietly, as if he had forgotten about hunger.
In the face of Zhan Long's thoughtful actions, Ning Yue was flattered and at a loss for a while.
Seeing her dazed expression, Zhan Long said solemnly: "You and I have shared hardships and hardships, and now we are happy to come and enjoy the blessings, you don't need to be polite." ”
Recalling the past, Ning Yue was deeply touched. I don't want to know the big boss of Qingfeng Cottage in just a few months, and it is really unpredictable that the world will meet by fate. With their friendship, there is indeed no need to be restrained, but she will be a little apprehensive in her heart when she enjoys delicacies in such a luxurious place.
"Since you're gone, you're no longer the maid of Ningfu." Seeing her concerns, War Dragon reminded him.
Yes, she has thrown off the shackles of a slave, and she is no longer a lowly maid. From now on, she no longer has to send people under the fence, look up to others, no longer have to obey and be controlled by others, no longer have to lament her identity, and no longer have to care about her origin. The world is so big, there is always a place for her. Thinking of this, Ning Yue was like seeing the light and the moon, and her heart sank away. When she came back to her senses, Ning Yue found that the person sitting opposite her had already begun to eat. I saw the war dragon sitting upright, holding chopsticks and bowls in an elegant posture, and the noble atmosphere was natural, this kind of cultivation was extremely inconsistent with his identity as a person in the rivers and lakes. In the more than ten years of living in Ningfu, Ning Yue has seen many powerful children, except for An Ruiqi, no one can compare with their bearing, it is not surprising. Sensing that Ning Yue was looking at him in a daze, Zhan Long smiled back, and there was an indescribable charm in his dark eyes, which made Ning Yue's face red and his ears red, and he didn't know how to eat. During the banquet, Zhan Long told Ning Yue that he still had important things to do, and asked her if she was willing to go with her, Ning Yue nodded and agreed, so, after eating, Ning Yue took Zhan Long to play in the city to pass the time. From the market stalls to the time-honored shops in the city, the two of them had a lot of fun until sunset.
When the moon is bright in the sky, the lights are on, and there are official sedan cars passing by on the streets leading to the imperial city. Hearing that this time she was going to see a nobleman, Ning Yue obediently changed into the snow Qiu cui skirt that the war dragon had prepared for her, so as not to be rude to others, but the war dragon was still the same as before. The two walked side by side, and in the eyes of others, they were not half abrupt. After walking for about half a pillar of incense, the two came to a side door in Miyagi. After waiting for a while, the vermilion wooden door quietly opened, and a canopy carriage slowly came out. The war dragon hurriedly stepped forward and chatted with the driver, who hesitated for a moment before jumping out of the car and disappearing into the dark shadows of the city wall, and then the palace gate quickly closed, and the surroundings returned to silence. After the war dragon helped Ning Yue into the carriage, without saying a word, he whipped his horse and drove the horse in the direction of the city gate. The four tall horses pulling the cart are all good horses in a hundred, and now they are galloping hard, galloping all the way, and the bumps are needless to say, and the people outside the car will inevitably have to withstand the strong wind blowing in front of them. Afraid of falling from the carriage, Ning Yue helplessly grabbed the arm of the war dragon, her ink-colored hair and emerald embroidered skirt fluttering in the wind, and there was a pitiful beauty in the mess. Seeing this, the war dragon took Ning Yue behind him to protect him, and a smile appeared in his deep eyes. The carriage ran for a while after leaving the city, and finally stopped in front of an inn. The curtain rolled lightly, and a woman as beautiful as if she had come from a painting appeared in front of them. The woman applied a little powder, and the bun that was pulled up at will was only decorated with a jade hairpin, dressed plainly, dressed elegantly, but it was difficult to hide its graceful charm, and it was not difficult to guess that she must have been a stunning beauty in the country and the city when she was young. Although the second lady was also a famous beauty in Jiangnan, there is a world of difference compared to this person. When the two first met, Ning Yue was not the only one who was surprised, when the woman saw the gentle girl standing in front of the war dragon, she was also shocked, but the surprise in her eyes was quickly hidden in a pair of phoenix eyes, replaced by a faint joy.
"It's cold outside, go in and talk." The woman smiled meaningfully at the two of them and walked straight into the inn.
Hearing the woman's gentle voice, Ning Yue woke up like a dream and hurriedly followed. The old butler had been standing in front of the inn for a long time, and now when they finally arrived safely, he was so excited that he couldn't help but cry. After a few words of relief from the woman, the old butler reined in his mind and bent down to welcome the woman into the box. After repeated invitations from Zhan Long, the old butler reluctantly agreed to sit around a table with the three of them for dinner. If the war dragon didn't squint when eating, the woman and the old housekeeper looked at Ning Yue intentionally or unintentionally, making Ning Yue shy. Curiosity is not enough, the most anxious thing is the woman's meaningful eyes, as if she has seen through everything, but she can't break it, just waiting for the person concerned to bow down and confess.
Seeing Ning Yue blindly bowing her head to eat, Zhan Long couldn't bear it, and silently moved a few of her favorite dishes in front of her. Then he opened his mouth to relieve her and said, "This is Miss Ning." ”
Hearing this, Ning Yue immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and saluted the woman and the old housekeeper.
Seeing this, the woman chuckled and raised her hand and said, "Miss Ning, you don't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”
"This is mine...... Mother. Zhan Long struggled to say the last two words, and his expression was not as calm as usual.
It turned out that the mother of the big boss was so beautiful, no wonder even the second lady's flower and moon appearance failed to attract his attention, Ning Yue secretly thought. The medicine bag that the big boss carried with him and cherished it was probably from her hands...... Why did the mother and son separate? Why did the big boss hate her in the first place? How do you get back together now? For the first time, Ning Yue discovered that there were many secrets on Zhan Long's body that she didn't know, and she secretly hoped that he could tell her.
Lest the war dragon be in a lot of trouble, the old housekeeper hurriedly answered: "The old slave is the housekeeper in the house, and Miss Ning has something to order." ”
With the acquiescence of the Queen Mother, Ning Yue quietly returned to her seat, and as soon as her heart settled down, she suddenly heard that the Queen Mother sighed: "I don't want Ayou to be accompanied by such a beautiful girl, it's really blessed......" She looked at Ning Yue's red cheeks, and changed her words and said: "Ayou doesn't know how to hurt people, so he should be punished!" How can a girl who is like a flower and jade not even have a piece of jewelry on her! ”
"I've been to Cui Bao Xuan and Juzhen Hall today, but I haven't found anything that can be seen." Zhan Long looked at Ning Yue with a smile and replied unhurriedly. After Ning Yue changed into a new dress, Zhan Long folded a plum blossom hairpin on her cloud temples, which also looked very elegant.
"Then let my mother do the work for you." Without waiting for Ning Yue to refuse, the Queen Mother took out a golden step shake decorated with white jade from the treasure and handed it over.
Ning Yue was in a dilemma, and turned to Zhan Long for help.
"Take it." There was a faint tenderness in the deep eyes of the war dragon.
Ning Yue knew that she couldn't refuse, so she had to bow down and thank you. took Jin Bu Shao and held it in his hand, Ning Yue felt that this thing was extremely heavy.
That night, the Queen Mother summoned Zhan Long to the room to chat.
"Miss Ning is very popular with me, but there is only one fly in the ointment." The Queen Mother said leisurely.
War Dragon's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Please make it clear to the Queen Mother." ”
"Her mother is from Vietnam." The Queen Mother replied lightly.
I see...... This is the crux of the king's abandonment of her! In order to maintain the purity of the royal bloodline, he and her are destined to be fruitless, and it is better to make her die than to make her wait. It's a pity that she may not be able to understand his hard work. In the past, I let go because they were happy with each other, but now that the world has changed, is it still necessary to stick to the agreement with her? No, it's not impossible for them to ...... Indeed, there was one person in the court who was happy to see it happen, and if that person helped him, the two of them might not be able to stay together for the rest of their lives. The human heart is the most unpredictable, I don't know when that person will intervene, and I don't know what will happen to myself and her at that time. Knowing that she was unforgettable, he decided to wait patiently and never force it, even if he couldn't get her heart in the end, he was willing.
Seeing that Zhan Long's face changed slightly, the Queen Mother comforted softly: "Ayou, since you have given up your identity as a heavenly family, you no longer need to care about her origin. Rest assured, as long as you like it, the queen mother will treat her well. ”
"Queen Mother, why do you know so much about her background?" Zhan Long looked at the Queen Mother and asked.
The reason for "this ......" is really difficult to say, and the Queen Mother was speechless for a while.
"But it's because of the eldest brother?" War Dragon asked, anger hidden in his tone.
The Queen Mother knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to nod and admit it. On that day, she noticed that Duan Ming's death was related to Prince Rong, so she sent someone to investigate, and accidentally learned about Ning Yue's background. That night, Prince Rong sent someone to rob the prison, originally to save Ning Yue, but the Queen Mother changed the order without authorization in order to protect Prince Rong's thoroughness, causing Ning Yue to almost die. Looking back on the past, the Queen Mother regretted it. It was precisely because of her thought that the war dragon met Ning Yue, perhaps because they owed Ning Yue too much, so God would let the war dragon repay it for them...... The Queen Mother knows Ning Yue's life experience, but how can she not know who she loves? Unexpectedly, the evil fruits he sowed ended up being bitter for Ayou......
