Chapter 36: Twilight Smoke
The palace lanterns of Ningkun Palace look particularly mysterious in the twilight of the smoke waves.
In the faint Ning Kun Palace, Qingxi and Tianxuan Prince Baili Jincheng were playing against each other.
The candles on the candlesticks swayed recklessly, the chess pieces on the chessboard intersected and tore apart in black and white, and even this impregnable palace seemed to float in the smoke waves.
The white chess pieces did not fall for a long time, and the fragrance of acacia flowers wafting from the sandalwood beside him did not calm Qingxi's impetuous heart.
Baili Jincheng looked at the chessboard that was tearing and killing, it was clear that there were still dangerous moves to go, why did the queen mother look forward and backward so forward. There was a hint of surprise on the sickly face, which was fleeting.
Qingxi was a little sensitive to Baili Jincheng's surprise, this is the only person in his son who can be trusted in the palace, what Baili Jincheng thinks Qingxi has long known about him.
The candle flame that was already flickering in Ning Kun Palace suddenly went out at this moment.
Qingxi and Baili Jincheng suddenly got up, and they both tightened the sharp objects in their waists.
"It's time to act," Qingxi whispered.
Baili Jincheng's lips were slightly opened, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he wanted to say something.
Baili Jincheng didn't look back at the white chess pieces that landed steadily on the dangerous move at some point, and the outcome of this game had already jumped into the chess.
In the thick smoke and twilight, the bright court in the palace lit up earlier than before, and it looked like a fairyland from a distance, quiet and beautiful.
The crown princess Lin Jingyan carried the palace lantern and walked in a hurry, if it wasn't for a careful person, it would be difficult to hear the rush of the pace mixed with the slightest bit of panic.
Lin Jingyan was extremely flustered thinking about what he heard a few days ago, but no matter what, he was the princess of Tianxuan Kingdom in Kyushu after all, and he couldn't mess with the princess's bearing.
Ji Xueling, who had already been in charge of the Six Palaces, was dressed in a brocade dress, holding a pale yellow tassel oil-paper umbrella, and the thin twilight rain moistened the oil-paper umbrella, and under the oil-paper umbrella, Ji Xueling stood on the top of the palace in the palace, a pair of beautiful eyes looked in the direction of the palace gate, and a smile jumped on her face.
A rush of footsteps made Qingxi put away her smile, and at the corner of the attic, Lin Jingyan, the crown princess in elegant dress, blew out the horse lantern in her hand.
"I didn't expect the crown princess to come here to see this twilight smoke wave."
Lin Jingyan put the horse lantern next to the vermilion wall, brushed his wide sleeves, and said:
"Erchen has seen his mother, and Erchen often listens to the servants in the palace say that the beautiful scenery in this palace is the top of this palace, so now the twilight light rain Erchen came here to see the truth and falsehood."
After speaking, Lin Jingyan straightened up without waiting for Qingxi to speak, and looked around, only to see that the entire palace in Kyoto was floating in the vast smoke waves, like a fairyland, like a dream.
"What the palace people said is true, but the person who repaired this building may not have this leisure and elegance at the beginning."
Ji Xueling heard this:
"Yes, just like the people who come here these days don't necessarily come to see the scenery."
People who have too many thoughts, so to see the scenery?
"Is the concubine the one who came to see the scenery?" Lin Jingyan didn't understand why Ji Xueling was so unfazed, could it be .......
"I like to look at other people's landscapes, just as some things are not providential, but belong to people."
Ji Xueling didn't wait for Lin Jingyan to reply, and suddenly changed her words:
"Is Lin Xiang okay?"
Lin Jingyan said in his heart, if you really can't hide anything, you old fox, but in order to ensure safety, you must take dangerous moves.
"Thank you for your concern, my father went to Yinshan Pass yesterday."
"Oh, why did the good Lin Xiang go to the border pass? Why haven't you heard the emperor mention it, is it Mi Zhao? Ji Xueling pretended not to know anything and asked Lin Jingyan.
Lin Jingyan said: "My father doesn't know why, so Erchen feels that things are not as simple as he imagined, and the queen mother is nowhere to be found. ”
Ji Xueling secretly said in her heart, it turned out that the emperor was going to send Lin Xiang to Yinshan Pass, why would Lin Xiang go to his son Lin Jingcheng, who had nothing to do? Do you want his straw bale son to have a good future?
There is only one possibility, that is, Lin Weiqun, his son who is as beautiful as a flower, is not the person who is rumored to be looking for flowers and asking willows.
Living in the capital for a long time and having a bad reputation in Kyoto, how can it be an ordinary straw bale?
It seems that this Lin Xiangfu is not ordinary, and suddenly remembered that day Leng Shuying whispered to Yu Weiyu, is the emperor still the emperor? I couldn't help frowning my brows, and I came together again.
The crown princess Lin Jingyan looked at Ji Xueling, who didn't answer, and frowned, and secretly said that she didn't know what this old fox was thinking.
Liang Jiu Ji Xue Ling said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, in the past few years, the border has been stable under the management of the second prince Baili Xinchan and the fifth prince, and there will be nothing wrong, but now the most worrying thing is the plague in Yuyongguan." ”
When Lin Jingyan heard Ji Xueling say this, he raised his slender arm, covered his face with Jinhua's wide sleeves, and coughed lightly, seemingly perfectly hiding the smile.
Old fox look at how you died, huh.
Ji Xueling turned around and went downstairs, looking back at Lin Jingyan, who was still at the top of the palace, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
I don't know who killed the deer, it's just a little trick.
