Chapter 19: Accompany Me to a Place
The palace banquet lasted all day, and since Ling Ling's performance, no one came to look for her again.
At first, she thought that she was bored to come to the banquet, but she didn't expect to meet Nangong Lingyu, who had similar interests, and the two talked happily, Nangong Lingyu's gentle and watery personality had a hint of courage behind the gate, which made Ling Ling appreciate her very much!
It didn't take long for Nangong Hai to send someone to take Nangong Lingyu to his location, and proudly introduced his daughter to his colleagues, Ling Ling sat in his seat, took a sip of wine, and looked at Nangong Lingyu who was generous and decent not far away.
In the main hall, it was back to the original situation where everyone came and went, and Ling Ling sat alone in the corner and laughed at himself.
People came and went around, Ling Ling only felt that his face was hot, the air was a little stuffy, and he wanted to go out to breathe, so he said hello to Jinrong and Qingliu and quietly left the main hall.
When Ling Ling walked out of the main hall, it was already evening.
She walked into a small garden not far from the main hall, the sky was imprinted like a painting by the sunset, and her little face, which was already a little red, was even more ruddy by the sunset.
After Bai Yixiu dealt with some things, he was heading in the direction of the main hall, and when he passed by the small garden, he happened to see a pink and white figure standing in the garden, raising a reddened little face, looking at the sunset blankly.
He walked up to her.
"How did you get out?"
Bai Yixiu's gentle and elegant voice sounded behind him, Ling Ling turned around and saw that Bai Yixiu's smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, and the bright yellow gold-threaded dragon robe looked particularly dazzling under the reflection of the setting sun. She raised her hand in salute.
"Courtier Xiahou Ling, see the emperor!"
Bai Yixiu smiled in his eyes and said softly, "No courtesy." You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"When I went back to the emperor, I just felt a little bored, and I wanted to come out to breathe, and I would go back later." Ling Ling replied respectfully.
"You don't have to be so restrained in front of me."
Bai Yixiu saw her sense of fear, and when he thought of the way she was performing in the main hall just now, he always felt that it was like two people.
"Your Majesty." Ling Ling relaxed a little and bowed decently.
Bai Yixiu's smiling eyes froze, and his sword eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
Fang Cai didn't feel it in the main hall, why now, her behavior is a little familiar?
For a moment, Bai Yixiu fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty?"
Facing Bai Yixiu's sudden silence, Ling Ling felt a little uncomfortable. She still has a good impression of this emperor, unlike those emperors in the TV series, he has always restrained his majesty, and his elegant temperament gives people the illusion of a jade-faced scholar, and his body exudes a pleasant smell of sandalwood.
Bai Yixiu came back to his senses and smiled indifferently, "You are in the non-night mansion, are you living well?" ”
"Back to the emperor......" As soon as she said these three words, Bai Yixiu shook her head lightly, giving her an expression of what she had said wrong, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's good." ”
After Bai Yixiu saw that she was not so restrained, the smile on his face became even stronger, "If there is anything you need, you can tell me." After all, Prime Minister Xiahou has been loyal all his life, and now there is only one daughter left left, I can't stand him. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, His Royal Highness King Jing treats me well, if there is a need, the courtiers will definitely tell the emperor." She looked at Bai Yixiu with a smile in her eyes, the corners of her mouth opened a good-looking smile, the sunset sprinkled on her face, and Bai Yixiu suddenly popped up in his mind The appearance of the red "little fox".
He opened his mouth slightly, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Your Majesty!"
In the garden, Murong Xue's soft and pleasant voice came from not far away, Ling Ling turned his head to see that Murong Xue was dressed in a smoky pink dress, playful and elegant, with snow on her skin, looking like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. Ling Ling moved his gaze to her side, and an inexplicable depression flashed in his eyes.
Bai Feiye, who disappeared above the main hall not long ago, stood beside Murong Xue with his hands in his hands, his golden thread and white clothes were dazzling by the setting sun, his eyes were deep, and he looked at her and Bai Yixiu coldly.
"Why are you here?" Bai Yixiu smiled, and looked at the two of them softly.
When Murong Xue heard this, a delicate and bright smile appeared on her face, "Xue'er saw that the emperor had not returned to the palace for a long time, and she was a little worried about the emperor, so she came out to look for the emperor's figure, and happened to meet His Royal Highness King Jing nearby. With that, she raised her feet and moved towards Bai Yixiu, she had just walked a few steps, as if she had slipped under her feet, her weak and slender body fell forward, Bai Yixiu's figure flashed, and she just caught Murong Xue.
"What do I have to worry about in the palace? It's Xue'er, didn't you say that your foot was sprained? You should just sit and rest. Bai Yixiu looked at Murong Xue with soft eyes, and Murong Xue smiled.
Ling Ling couldn't help but shudder, it wasn't that it was cold, but that she felt that Murong Xue had done it that gave her goosebumps. Ling Ling really felt that Murong Xue could practice her acting skills more, although it looked like a real foot pain, in her opinion, how could she have such a hint of deliberateness!
Bai Yixiu called someone to help Murong Xue back to the main hall, and he and Bai Feiye, Ling Ling also followed after explaining two sentences.
It was getting dark, and there were only two figures left in the small garden, one tall and one short.
"The prince is so Yaxing! With the birthday in the main hall, what are you doing in this small garden? ”
As soon as Ling Ling remembered that he and Murong Xue appeared together, she felt a sour taste in her heart, she didn't think much about it, the wine was not gone, she had the courage to make fun of him.
"It seems that you and the imperial brother are getting along well!" He said coldly.
"The emperor is gentle and elegant, and treats everyone well." She said with an eyebrow raised.
"Then it seems that the concubine selection ceremony, this king doesn't have to worry about you." His good-looking eyes looked at Ling Ling, and there was no emotion in his tone.
Ling Ling's eyes flashed, what he meant was that he thought she wanted to marry the emperor?
She pursed her lips and raised her chin to look aside, "I never thought of marrying the emperor, nor did I want to stay in this palace and be a concubine." ”
"Then why did you behave so well in the main hall today?" He asked.
"That's not ......" Ling Ling didn't think much about it, she almost wanted to blurt out her original thoughts, and suddenly bumped into Bai Feiye's curious gaze, and her heart was empty.
"Not yet?" His gaze looked straight into Ling Ling's eyes, as if he had magical power, so that Ling Ling couldn't take her eyes off, her heart jumped, and she couldn't help but open her lips.
"It's not because it's your birthday......" she muttered quietly, her head down.
Bai Feiye's deep eyes flashed a touch of softness, and he was happy in his heart, and said casually,
"You don't want to marry the royal brother, do you want to marry this king?"
Ling Ling was a little overwhelmed by Bai Feiye's sudden words, her eyes looked at Bai Feiye's hazy and good-looking face in the night, and she only felt that her face was hot. Can't let him find out he's shy! She immediately retracted her gaze, quickly turned around, and turned her back to Bai Feiye.
"Does the prince think it's funny to make such a joke?" She turned her back to Bai Feiye, and her face was flushed.
Bai Feiye looked at Ling Ling's panicked back, and only felt that it was extremely interesting, and his delicate and good-looking lips opened a good-looking arc.
The clouds drifted away, and the obscured moon slowly appeared, and in the moonlight, Bai Feiye at this time was so soft and charming. If Ling Ling turned around at this moment, she would be able to witness that Bai Feiye had been dusty for many years, without any hidden smile.
"Accompany me somewhere?"
The voice came from behind him, Ling Ling was stunned, he ...... He didn't say this king, he said, I! Ling Ling looked back at Bai Feiye, the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking at her, waiting for her to answer.
