Chapter 197: Nghe An Shoal, White Crane Flying
When Sijun knocked on the door, Xiao Jingqi and I got up in a panic.
"Aunt Huan can't get up yet, it's three strokes in the sun."
At the same time, Cheng You's dissuasive voice came from outside the door, "Little boy, can't you wait." ”
Xiao Jingqi opened the door and looked at Sijun with a calm and cold expression, "You're not young." ”
Cheng You respectfully apologized, "I didn't have time to stop it." ”
Sijun looked at Xiao Jingqi as if he was a little uncomfortable, and complained very much in his heart, but he still bowed his hand and lowered his eyes, "I've seen Master Hou." ”
But he rolled his eyes immediately after speaking, "Who knew that Hou Ye was also inside." ”
The corners of Xiao Jingqi's mouth were smiling, and he snorted lightly, "In the future, in Mrs. Hou's bedroom, Sijun should avoid it, you are a man after all." ”
Sijun stared, wanting to say something, but he said a word.
Xiao Jingqi passed by his side and ignored him no more.
I walked slowly to the door, looked at Sijun, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
Sijun smiled like a junior in front of me, "I heard that this Yi'an County is the city of white cranes, can Aunt Wei go out with Sijun to play?" ”
"You want to see the white crane?"
Sijun nodded hurriedly, "Is it feasible?" ”
How do you feel that Sijun is still like a child who can't grow up, in my eyes he is still the same child back then.
I pursed my lips and smiled in agreement.
During the meal, I told Xiao Jingqi and took Sijun out for a walk. He didn't refute, he just asked Yin Mi to follow me, and I didn't say no.
I remember the river beach in Nghe An County, and I remember the scene in my dream.
When Sijun and I came to the river, Yin Mi was a little surprised, "Madame is very familiar with this Ngee Ann City." ”
I just smiled and didn't answer her.
On the river beach, in the clear concrete bath, many white cranes stayed there. This scene is as beautiful as I dreamed.
Sijun was very excited, this was a beautiful scenery that could not be seen in his hometown, and it was difficult to see the crane in the Northland.
Like a child, he approached the crane gently, and even wanted to catch one to play, but as soon as he approached the crane, the crane flew away with its wings.
I couldn't help but smile happily when I looked at his cheerful face.
"Madame's smile is beautiful." Yin Mi suddenly said beside me, "Master Hou must have been deeply attracted by Madame's smile." ”
I glanced at Yin Mi, she was a little lonely after saying this, and her expression had a wry smile. Could it be that she's jealous of me? Does she, like Nangong Ni, also like Xiao Jingqi?
"Miss Yin also has a crush, right?" I asked with a faint smile.
She glanced at me, bit her lip lightly, and hesitated before gently replying, "Yes, there were." ”
"Let's talk about it." I was a little curious, but I wanted to hear the story.
Her eyes were quiet and deep, looking into the distance of the river and deep thought, and I knew she must be thinking of the person she was.
He ...... is also an elegant and connotative gentleman, but Yin Mi and his identity are very different, not people who can be at the same level, even if Yin Mi has that heart, we can't be together. ”
She chuckled.
"I am not on the same front as him, I have my own mission, I can never be together, besides, I ......"
Yin Mi didn't say any more, but smiled bitterly again and said to me, "Still don't say it." ”
I comforted her, "Maybe we can be together in the future, things are changing, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future." ”
She chuckled lightly, and we looked at Sijun who was walking over.
Sijun took a handful of flowers in each hand, put them in front of me and Yin Mi with both hands, and said with a smile, "Give it to you." ”
Yin Mi and I smiled and took a bunch each.
Sijun raised his eyes to look into the distance, pointed to the distant mountains where the river flows into the deep lake, and asked, "Where is that, the mountain peaks are so high." ”
Yin Mi pursed his lips and smiled back at him, "Hegao Peak", because its peak is towering into the clouds, "the crane sings Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky".
Sijun said lightly, "Crane, I like it." ”
Yin Mi replied with a smile, "I can see that the little boy likes it." ”
Sijun raised his eyebrows and sneered at her, "Don't do anything about the little boy's learning, I may be older than you." ”
When Yin Mi pursed her lips and joked lightly at Sijun, I looked back and saw the place where Rong Ling drowned Ru Yue in the water in a dream.
My heart suddenly darkened, as if the scene in my dream was actually happening in front of my eyes. I actually felt a little guilty of myself, regardless of whether Ru Yue was sent by Sima Yao to track me down, but she died because of me.
A woman died like this, and she died in front of me. I don't know what kind of mood Su Yi was in at the time, but at this time, I looked at the scene of the murder and felt a faint sadness in my heart.
When I returned to the White Crane House, I walked through the gate, and I felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the servants in the house were silent.
I saw Cheng Youhuang in the courtyard, so I walked towards him.
Cheng You saw me hurriedly walking over and saluted in front of me, "Madam, please go back to the backyard." ”
He didn't want me to stay in the front yard for more.
As soon as I looked at his countenance, I knew that something had happened to the White Crane House, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cheng You said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, and the Hou Ye is receiving him." ”
Prince?
"You prince of Qi Kingdom?" I asked softly.
"Yes." When Cheng You returned to me, he looked at Yin Mi behind me and said, "Take Madame to the backyard to rest." ”
Yin Mi may understand Cheng Yu's words, and he repeatedly asked me to leave the front yard.
I didn't understand that Cheng You and Yin Mi's expressions were not good, and in my doubts, Sijun said with some displeasure, "Is my aunt unsightly?" You Hou Ye don't want my aunt to clarify her identity? Sijun chuckled, "Master Hou is still a lady, it's really ......."
Cheng Youbu explained, "Madam, that's not what Master Hou meant. ”
I don't want to embarrass Xiao Jingqi and his subordinates, maybe my identity as a concubine of Great Wei is really not suitable to meet them in the royal family of Qi State.
I didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the backyard by myself.
Sijun followed me closely, and he was worried about my displeasure, and he kept watching my face.
After sitting down at the table, when Yin Mi poured me tea, I looked at her and asked, "Who are you Prince of Qi?" ”
Yin Mi replied to me, "The emperor's eldest son, Xiao Changmao." ”
The crown prince didn't stay in the palace and ran here to see Xiao Jingqi in person, but he didn't know what happened. At this time, I didn't know, and I didn't ask.
But when Xiao Jingqi came to see me, I always felt that when the prince of Qi came to see him, something must have happened, otherwise, when Xiao Jingqi looked at me, there was always something strange in his eyes.
If Xiao Jingqi doesn't say it, I don't plan to ask. But I have always been uneasy in my heart, and even a little unhappy, what I am unhappy about is that Xiao Jingqi is afraid to let me see him because of my former identity, is it possible for me to meet him in the royal family of the Xiao family?
After the two of us looked at each other, I didn't think anything was going on, and I didn't want to show what I thought in my heart, so I smiled faintly and asked him, "The prince is gone?" ”
"I went to the Nghe An Palace."
Xiao Jingqi replied to me very calmly.
Xiao Zimin, the king of Yi'an, is the prince of this Yi'an town and the twenty-son of Xiao Zhen, Emperor Wu of Qi.
Xiao Jingqi was very calm, and did not explain to me the reason why Xiao Changmao came this time. He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask in my heart, but the two of us were silent.
I think he has something on his mind, and he doesn't want to talk to me.
In the evening, I found him alone drinking in the pavilion of the garden, sad and cold.
Is he really in the mood, is it really because of me, because I came here to make the crown prince feel that I am not ashamed and embarrass him, if this is the case, I would rather leave.
But I didn't know at this time that this was not what bothered him.
I approached him and just stood behind him and watched him, I didn't want to disturb him, but he spotted me anyway.
"Here you are, sit." He looked back at me with a faint smile on his face, but I thought the smile was far-fetched.
I sat down quietly and stared at him before I said, "Is it because the prince doesn't want me to be by your side?" ”
"No, you're thinking too much." He smiled again.
I wrinkled my eyebrows and smiled, "If yes, it's okay, I'll leave." ”
"It's really not like that, it's something else." He reached out and stroked my cheek, and his smile remained the same, unchanged.
But I thought he was lying.
"Have a drink with me." He smiled and picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine into another glass.
I want to accompany him, and if he wants to drink, I will drink with him.
We sat in the gazebo like this, drank a few glasses, and saw that he was a little drunk, so I asked Cheng You, who was waiting not far away, to help him into the house.
I personally escorted him into the house, helped him to the bed, and covered him with a quilt. Watching him fall asleep, I got up and walked out of his room.
Cheng You and I went out of Xiao Jingqi's bedroom together, and seeing that he was a little tired, I asked him to rest, and I was about to go back to my room.
I didn't walk a few steps, and I met Nangong Ni standing in front of me in the corridor. She looked at me indifferently, and I knew from her look that she had something to say.
"The girl really wants to know why Master Hou is worried?" She said to me with a cold face.
I frowned at her.
Nangong Ni smiled, "If you say it, the girl will feel sad." ”
She had already said that, and it made me wonder why.
"Say it." I'm laughing.
"It's the girl who asked Ni to say it, and Ni will tell you." She paused and said very seriously, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came today to ask the Hou Ye to hand over something." ”
"What?" I'm confused.
"The 'voice in the clouds' on the girl's ......"
My face froze, and my face darkened, but I never thought it would be like this.
In this way, Qi Guo also knows this score, and since Prince Qi asks for it, then he must also know that it is in my hands.
Seeing that I was stunned, Nangong Ni said again, "But Master Hou has been defending the girl, and he is unwilling to present the score from the girl." But if Hou Ye doesn't give the score to the prince, the prince will not let Hou Ye go, and the prince has already given Hou Ye the last three days. ”
I can see what this score is for, it's the main thread of the Requiem, but it's not like anyone who can play it with it.
When Master Cui gave me Yun Zhongyin, he once said that the person who can play the Requiem must be the person who is related to Yun Zhongyin. If not, the play is just an ordinary tune, which can't have the effect of shocking, addicting, and limiting to the illusion.
Hearing Nangong Ni's words, I was silent, it turned out that Xiao Jingqi was upset because of this incident.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Nangong Ni kept looking at my expression and said slowly, "Is the girl willing to help the Hou Ye get through this difficulty and dedicate the cloud to the prince?" ”
"It's a relic of my uncle......" I dropped a sentence coldly, not wanting to listen to Nangong Ni's side anymore.
No matter what Nangong Ni looked like, I went back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed, very upset.
How long has it been since Yunzhongyin was in my hands, and so many people have known about it. Come to think of it, someone has been playing with its idea for a long time.
I sneered, although the King of the North Sea did not mention it in front of me personally, but Qingyan clearly wanted to take it from my hand that day, and the King of the North Sea would definitely not be unaware.
So what about Xiao Jingqi, has he ever had such an idea?
Was it Prince Qi's request to him this time that made him perhaps have the intention of playing the cloud barin, or did he have this idea for a long time, but he just didn't make it.
I was confused for a while, I couldn't guess, and I couldn't see through Xiao Jingqi.
This night, I couldn't sleep, I didn't know what to do.
The next day, in the face of Xiao Jingqi, he didn't mention it, and I shouldn't know. Nangong Ni didn't tell me about it and told Xiao Jingqi that she definitely didn't dare to say it, she told me about it.
However, everyone in the White Crane Curie did not look good. Everyone knows that something is going on, but no one mentions what is going on, even Sijun just eats himself quietly when I wait for dinner.
Just when everyone was silent, Sijun suddenly said to me, "Aunt Huan, why don't we go back to Wei, Sijun's uncle must be thinking about Sijun, and he must be looking forward to Sijun's return." ”
Everyone raised their eyes to look at Sijun, and I also looked at Sijun indifferently, and before I could speak, Xiao Jingqi said calmly and calmly, "No, Huan'er can't go back to Wei." ”
"Why? Aunt Wei was originally from Wei. Sijun was a little unhappy, he looked at Xiao Jingqi with cold eyes.
You Ran also looked at Xiao Jingqi at this time, and whispered softly, "The master of the door still has me waiting for the Qingfeng Gate to stay, even if I go back to the Wei Kingdom, it is not that there is nowhere to go." ”
You Ran meant to tell Xiao Jingqi that Qingfeng Gate had a place for me, and it wasn't that I would have no place to stay when I returned to Wei.
"If I say no, I can't." Xiao Jingqi said coldly again, his deep eyes looked at me, "Hu'er can't leave my side." ”
"Master Hou, you are too coercive, and you don't ask me what Aunt Wei means." Sijun was a little angry, and the chopsticks in his hand were heavily placed on the table.
My brows twitched, and I stared at Xiao Jingqi stunned, shocked by his stern and domineering tone.
"What do you mean, auntie?" Sijun looked at me and asked.
