Chapter Seventy-Nine: Meeting in the Courtyard
Xiao Ning pretended to look at Feng Qingxuan uncertainly, took her hand, and said coquettishly: "Look at what the Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law said, I really want to think about it, so I came to see you, besides, my father always looks at me tightly, but I finally came to see the Imperial Sister-in-law, by the way, the Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law just saw the Fourth Imperial Uncle go to the study, is someone coming to him." ”
Feng Qingxuan poked her forehead helplessly: "You, these careful thoughts can be just Ling Xiao's wood, your Fourth Emperor Uncle said that they had something to talk about and went to the study, what's the matter, recently, what happened to you and Ling Xiao?" ”
Xiao Ning followed Feng Qingxuan to the courtyard together, found a stone bench to sit on, she supported her chin with her hands, and looked at the stone table worriedly: "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't know, a few days ago, the fourth emperor uncle had to choose a wife for Ling Xiao, so many young ladies from the family participated, but they didn't ask me to participate, I put some crotons in those tea in a fit of anger, and everyone didn't come on the day of the election, so Ling Xiao ignored me anymore in a fit of anger." ”
Hearing Xiao Ning's words, Feng Qingxuan couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, if she was Ling Xiao, she would probably be angry with her, put the croton in the tea, and only she could do it, she sighed leisurely: "Have you made it clear to Ling Xiao, does he like you or not?" ”
Xiao Ning pouted, looked at the sky, nodded and then shook his head: "I don't know, he is always in the way of my identity as a princess, and even the time we spend together is not as much as the time he spent with my fourth emperor uncle, not to mention that I think she has always been thinking of a person, the princess when she went to Daliang before, he has always been in mind, a few days ago I also saw another woman's handkerchief in his room, it must have been left by that woman." ”
Feng Qingxuan bowed her head and was silent, so that there was a wave of amazement in her heart, Ling Xiao is really affectionate, if he is asked to completely forget the previous things, it is impossible, she had to persuade Xiao Ning with kind words: "Princess, since you also know that Ling Xiao has never been able to let go of that person in his heart, why don't you forget him and find a man who is better than him, so many men in the world can always find a man you like and like you." ”
But Xiao Ning is a tendon, but Ling Xiao, who is just identified, doesn't want to let go of his mouth when he dies: "I just like Ling Xiao, I don't care how good other men are, I have already sworn that I will not marry Ling Xiao in this life, the fourth sister-in-law, you must help me, I must marry Ling Xiao, otherwise I will be lonely and old." ”
The corners of Feng Qingxuan's mouth twitched, not to mention Xiao Ning's young age, it is impossible for her to be lonely and old when she is so young, she was thinking about a way to see Xiao Zhuo and Ling Xiao in the distance slowly walking towards this side, and she also muttered secretly: "Why did they come together?" ”
Xiao Ning seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, she turned her head and saw Ling Xiao, she immediately rushed over, like a monkey on Ling Xiao's body, and didn't let go no matter what: "Brother Ling Xiao, I can be regarded as seeing you, don't you know that my father has suffocated me in the palace in the past few days, I have a lot to say to you." ”
In the end, Xiao Ning was still afraid of Xiao Zhuo, and under Xiao Zhuo's reprimand with a black face, Xiao Ning slowly let go of Ling Xiao, and saluted Xiao Zhuo very regularly: "I've seen the Fourth Emperor Uncle." She turned her head to Feng Qingxuan's side and squeezed her eyebrows for help, Feng Qingxuan had to walk up to them and salute them: "The prince finished talking to General Ling Xiao so quickly?" ”
Xiao Zhuo was very considerate and helped Feng Qingxuan, and said softly: "It's not a big deal, what about you, it's not that you are uncomfortable, why did you come out, is Xiao Ning this girl bothering you again?" ”
Xiao Ning glanced at Xiao Zhuo angrily, and then hid behind Feng Qingxuan: "Look at what the fourth emperor uncle said, the imperial sister-in-law really likes me, she will be comfortable as soon as I come, don't wronged me in this matter." ”
Xiao Zhuo didn't seem to want to let go of Xiao Ning, he poked her head with the handle of the fan: "Don't think that your little caution can hide from me, you know in your heart how you made a big fuss in the General's Mansion a few days ago, your imperial sister-in-law is not the same as you, she is weak, don't hit her with your idea, if I find out, I won't spare you." ”
After saying this, Xiao Ning directly ignored it, hid behind Feng Qingxuan and didn't come out, pitifully pulling Feng Qingxuan's sleeve: "Imperial sister-in-law, look at the fourth emperor uncle, he will bully me, how can I be so well-behaved and cause trouble everywhere, besides, I didn't cause anything when I came this time, my father said, tonight there is a banquet in the palace, I can go back to the palace with the imperial sister-in-law." ”
After that, she grimaced at Xiao Zhuo: "The Four Emperors said, you can't control me today." ”
Suddenly, a few guards came to the door, Jin Xiao walked in front, he walked to Xiao Zhuo with a serious expression, leaned into his ear and said something, Xiao Zhuo's brows were twisted, and then he instructed Ling Xiao: "You stay here and Ning Er for a while, I have something to do here, and I'll come back to you later." ”
After saying this, Xiao Zhuo left in a hurry, and there were only three of them left in the huge courtyard, Ling Xiao and Feng Qingxuan stared wide-eyed, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and then Ling Xiao preemptively said: "Princess, can you go and help find Nan Rong in the next place, it's too late today, and it's time to drink saliva in the future." ”
As soon as Xiao Ning heard Ling Xiao take the initiative to talk to her, a golden light instantly appeared in her eyes: "Don't look for Nanrong, I'll help you pour water, you wait." ”
After saying that, Xiao Ning walked towards the outside of the courtyard, there were only two people left in the courtyard, he and Feng Qingxuan were left, there was a faint stiffness in the air, Feng Qingxuan glanced at Ling Xiao, and said with a slight smile: "This girl, there is water in the house, but she ran out, the general will wait for me to pour water." ”
Feng Qingxuan was just about to take a step, but Ling Xiao stopped her in time: "Ah Qing! Do you still refuse to admit me? ”
This sudden A-Qing made Feng Qingxuan's heart tremble, she lowered her face, and pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "I don't understand what the general meant, and I'm not A-Qing, the general is afraid that he will mistake this princess for someone else again, and he must be thirsty and his brain is not clear, general, please wait a moment, I will pour water for you." ”
Feng Qingxuan deliberately put the three words "this princess" with a heavy force, and she walked towards the room with some chaos under her feet, but she didn't want Ling Xiao to hold her hand behind her: "We all know in our hearts who you are, I have been by your side for so many years, how could I admit you wrong, Ah Qing, they all said that you are dead, I don't believe it, I know that you have suffered all these years, but I have never changed to you, why do you just refuse to admit that you are Ah Qing." ”
The more Ling Xiao spoke, the more excited she became, and suddenly she saw that it seemed to ignite the line of fire in Feng Qingxuan's blood, her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "What does the general want me to admit, I said that my name is Tuoba Qingyan and not the Aqing in your mouth, even if it is hundreds of times and thousands of times, I still answer this way, and please don't challenge my bottom line again and again, anyway, I am now the princess of the Qin Palace, not the county lord of Nanqiu, and please also pay attention to my identity, don't entangle me too much." ”
Feng Qingxuan pretended to be angry and walked into the house, she slammed the door, walked a few steps and leaned against the wall, covering her heart and gasping for breath, as if she had experienced life and death, she kept muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ling Xiao, I can't admit it, my business hasn't been done yet, I'm sorry." ”
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smeared a thin layer of powder in front of the mirror to cover her reddish eye circles, and Xiao Ning's voice came from the door: "Imperial sister-in-law, are you inside?" ”
Feng Qingxuan exhaled and immediately adjusted her complexion, she walked out of the door with the water cup on the table: "I'll pour a glass of water for General Ling Xiao, you are really, there is water in the house, and I don't know where you went to find it." ”
Xiao Ning couldn't stop laughing: "I didn't forget it in a hurry just now, sister-in-law, give me the cup, I'll give it to him." After that, Xiao Ning took the back of her hand and leaned over to Ling Xiao very flatteringly: "Here, drink quickly." ”
Feng Qingxuan walked next to Xiao Ning and sat on the stone bench, Ling Xiao in her was far away, she didn't want to have any conversation with him anymore, Xiao Ning didn't feel the strange atmosphere that Feng Qingxuan and Ling Xiao saw, she kept looking at Ling Xiao with a smile, and the reflection in her eyes was almost all Ling Xiao's shadow.
The sky gradually sank, the sun was setting, they sat in the courtyard like this for an afternoon, Xiao Ning has been looking for topics with Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao is always cold, Xiao Ning is tireless, picking out topics again and again, and finally Feng Qingxuan can't stand it anymore, she stood up, stretched her muscles and bones, looked into the distance, and didn't see Xiao Zhuo's shadow yet, and looked at the sky, the fiery red clouds had already dyed half of the sky, looking at the fantasy scene that gradually emerged, Feng Qingxuan couldn't help but say to Xiao Ning: "Look, fire clouds, These are rare times. ”
Xiao Ning raised her head and followed Feng Qingxuan's gaze, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, I haven't seen such a beautiful sky." ”
After a while, Xiao Zhuo came back, Xiao Ning saw it from afar, she pretended to ignore you, didn't speak, looked at the sky by herself, and came to Ling Xiao's side, Xiao Zhuo didn't pay attention to her at all, but walked straight to Feng Qingxuan's side, holding the cloak on her body in front of Feng Qingxuan: "Why are you still in the yard, it's cold at this time, be careful, don't always follow them to mess around." ”
Feng Qingxuan smiled slightly: "Look at what the prince said, the concubine's body is not so weak. ”
Xiao Ning listened to Xiao Zhuo's words, pursed her lips on the side, and pulled Ling Xiao and said, "The Fourth Emperor Uncle is clearly disgusted that we have been bothering the imperial sister-in-law for too much time. ”
Xiao Zhuo glanced at Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning immediately lost her voice, and only heard Xiao Zhuo say: "Okay, you all go and pack up, the carriages entering the palace are waiting at the door, and Ling Xiao and I need to enter the palace first in a while, and the two of you are taking care of each other." ”
Then Xiao Zhuo stared at Xiao Ning again, and instructed uneasily: "This is the first time your imperial sister-in-law has entered the palace, you are not allowed to mess around, take care of her more." ”
Xiao Ning nodded her head into a rattle: "Fourth Emperor Uncle, don't worry, it's no problem for me to take the imperial sister-in-law." ”
