Chapter 44: Nan Xuanlin
Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanyu arrived relatively early, and it can be said that the Queen Mother and her party were the first people to arrive at the Moon Palace.
After arriving at the Moon Palace, the Queen Mother sent the two of them to walk around the Moon Palace, and she wanted to see how the preparations for the sacrifice were doing.
So Nan Xuanyu took Ji Yueqin into the Moon Palace. As soon as Ji Yueqin entered the Moon Palace, she was attracted by this place that seemed to be a fairyland on earth.
The palace is surrounded by white marble carved white pillars, on which the carved murals are all the postures of a beautiful woman. The magnolia flowers carved by the glass are inlaid on the floor that is also paved with white marble, and Ji Yueqin can't help but be amazed when she sees it.
If the Qianxi Palace is so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off it, and the emperor's bedroom is estimated to be the most luxurious place in the world. In contrast, this Moon Palace is probably more extravagant than the emperor's residence, and more wealthy than the queen mother's residence. Ji Yueqin sighed at how much the founding emperor loved this woman, so he would build a palace for her like a fairyland on earth.
However, there was no incense burning in the whole palace, but I don't know where there was a faint sandalwood fragrance of the orchid, which made people smell comfortable and had the effect of calming the nerves and replenishing qi. The cool breeze of autumn blew into the palace, blowing the blue curtain up and down, and from a distance it looked like a dancer dancing, swinging up and down.
As soon as the autumn wind rose, Nan Xuanyu was worried that Ji Yueqin would get cold if the wind blew, so he gently put the cloak he was wearing on Ji Yueqin's shoulder, and affectionately tied the strap to Ji Yueqin.
"Sister Yue, it's windy here, you're wearing too little today, put on my cloak well, don't catch a cold again." Nan Xuanyu looked at the petite and lovely woman in front of him gently, and said softly.
Ji Yueqin didn't shirk the cloak that Nan Xuanyu put on her, but smiled sweetly at Nan Xuanyu: "Thank you Brother Yu for your concern, although I am not so weak, I still accept Brother Yu's kindness." ”
Nan Xuanyu was about to say something, when he heard a strange man's voice not far away: "A brother and a sister, in broad daylight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little rude?" ”
Nan Xuanyu frowned, listening to this male voice a little familiar, he looked back and saw a handsome man walking in the direction of the two.
This man's face is three points similar to Nan Xuanyu's, and his unscrupulous appearance in this deep palace must be a certain prince.
Nan Xuanyu frowned and looked at the man who was walking towards him not far away, although Nan Xuanyu was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was in the position of the crown prince, and he couldn't show his joy and anger, so he just looked at Nan Xuanlin coldly and said: "Who does this palace think it is, so I don't know the etiquette, it turns out to be the second emperor's brother." The second emperor brother came back from the border this time, and he worked hard, don't come unharmed? ”
Nan Xuanlin said that he had an ambiguous relationship with Ji Yueqin, how much did he know about etiquette?
I only heard Nan Xuanlin smile lightly: "Thank you for the concern of the crown prince and the royal brother, the courtier's brother serves Dayu, it is a matter of deserved, so why talk about hard work." It's just that the crown prince and the royal brother are working hard in the palace, and they are much harder than the younger brothers. ”
Hearing Nan Xuanlin's words, Nan Xuanyu's eyes shot a cold light, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still looked at Nan Xuanlin with a smile and said: "The second emperor brother didn't come to say this to the palace, it's not good to come here to meet his grandmother, what is the matter with coming to the palace?" Also, it is best for the imperial brother to be cautious in his words and deeds in this deep palace, what he said just now is really excessive, I have a clean relationship with Anning's brothers and sisters, don't insult Anning's reputation. ”
When Ji Yueqin saw Nan Xuanyu say this, her heart moved, but because of her identity, it was really difficult to say anything, so she looked at Nan Xuanlin silently.
Nan Xuanlin looked at Ji Yueqin beside Nan Xuanyu with a playful look. The two looked at each other, but Ji Yueqin did not retract her gaze as shyly as an ordinary woman.
Ji Yueqin was a little displeased with Nan Xuanlin's gaze at her, but after all, the other party was a prince, and she could only be regarded as an orphan girl living here, in what capacity did she scold him, she could only stare coldly at the unkind man in front of her.
So Ji Yueqin responded to Nan Xuanlin expressionlessly: "An Ning has seen the second prince. ”
Seeing that Ji Yueqin was like a little wild cat that had just shown his claws, Nan Xuanlin couldn't help but sneer and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are the little county lord from Daliang." ”
Ji Yueqin didn't understand either, she had just come to Dayu, except for the queen's obvious hostility towards herself, she hadn't found any other enemies yet, she didn't understand why Nan Xuanlin was targeting her, but seeing that he was not polite to Nan Xuanyu, she knew a little bit in her heart, he was coming for Nan Xuanyu.
Nan Xuanyu saw that Nan Xuanlin was so rude to Ji Yueqin, and he was also a little annoyed in his heart, on weekdays, Nan Xuanlin was just targeting himself, but now he came to target a little woman, what is he doing, dealing with a little woman really can't be said to be a man's style.
Nan Xuanyu just wanted to have a seizure, but his palm was held by a small hand. Nan Xuanyu looked at Ji Yueqin's clear eyes, and the meaning in her eyes was clearly that she didn't want Nan Xuanyu to stand out for herself.
Nan Xuanyu was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he also understood what Ji Yueqin meant. If he argues with Nan Xuanlin here, I am afraid that he will be seen by some people with a heart, and he will refer to himself with words such as the prince's immorality, even if he argues for Ji Yueqin, I am afraid that he will not be able to say clearly for a while.
Even if his father favors Ji Yueqin, I am afraid that even Ji Yueqin may be said to be unethical at that time, and her reputation will be completely ruined.
After he figured it out, he just stared at Nan Xuanlin coldly with an unhappy face, and he was even more angry when he thought of Nan Xuanlin's sinister thoughts.
Nan Xuanlin saw that Ji Yueqin grabbed Nan Xuanyu, a trace of cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and at the same time, he had a playful feeling for Ji Yueqin, this little county lord who came from Liang was really not an ordinary woman.
Because Ji Yueqin didn't let Nan Xuanyu make a sound, he said loudly to Nan Xuanlin without humility or arrogance: "An Ning is indeed from Daliang, because of some changes in the family, he was received by the emperor's uncle. It's just that when the county lord said it, it was because of the emperor's uncle's love. ”
Nan Xuanlin saw that Ji Yueqin's words were not leaky, and he did not underestimate the woman in front of him in his heart, being able to come to Dayu alive alone is indeed a bit of ability, and he really can't treat her as an ordinary woman.
As soon as Ji Yueqin's words fell, Nan Xuanlin clapped his hands and laughed: "The county lord of Anning is really smart and smart, and he knows the way of dealing with people at a young age. I just talked casually, I just offended under the next, and I ask the county lord of Anning to forgive me. ”
Ji Yueqin saw that Nan Xuanlin's attitude had changed so quickly, and she also felt that the perverse second prince in front of her was a little difficult, so she just nodded and said, "The second prince doesn't know, how can An Ning be blamed." An Ning is what makes the second prince smile. ”
Nan Xuanyu didn't know what medicine Nan Xuanlin was selling in the gourd, but he didn't want Nan Xuanlin to get close to Ji Yueqin anymore, and he didn't want to entangle with him too much, so he said to Nan Xuanlin: "Okay, the imperial brother just came back to participate in the ceremony, go back and rest well, An Ning may be a little tired, this palace still takes An Ning to rest for a while." ”
Ji Yueqin felt in her heart that what Nan Xuanyu said really went to her heart, this second prince who couldn't figure out the details didn't know whether he was friend or foe now, so it was best to avoid it first.
So Ji Yueqin picked up Nan Xuanyu's words and said: "I'm really a little tired, Brother Yu, let's go, we have to go to the Queen Mother after resting for a while." ”
Nan Xuanlin also knew that the two of them wanted to avoid him, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, thinking to himself how he could let these two leave easily.
So when Nan Xuanyu and Ji Yueqin left, Nan Xuanlin spoke: "The crown prince and the little princess are waiting for me, I just came from the mansion, and I am also a little tired, why don't we go and rest together, okay?" ”
It is said that women are fickle, and now it seems that fickle men are more annoying than fickle women, and this Nan Xuanlin is afraid that he will follow them.
Nan Xuanyu frowned, but he couldn't refuse him directly, if he followed with a dead face, he wouldn't have to say anything, so he had to take Ji Yueqin's little hand and walk forward.
Nan Xuanlin looked at the hands held by the two, his eyes were a little obscure, but no one could know what was going on in his heart.
Before he had walked far, he heard Nan Xuanlin shouting from behind: "I said Brother Crown Prince, why do you keep holding the hand of the county lord of Anning, is this for fear that the county lord of Anning will take an unstable road, or the two of you ......?"
Although Nan Xuanlin didn't continue, the two of them also understood what Nan Xuanyu wanted to express, and the hand they were holding let go.
Nan Xuanyu stopped his steps, looked back at Nan Xuanlin coldly and said, "The road of the Moon Palace is a little difficult to walk, this palace is afraid that An Ning will fall, so I just gently support An Ning." ”
Ji Yueqin didn't say anything, the reason why her fingers grabbed Nan Xuanyu was just to stop the dispute between the two brothers, but then Nan Xuanyu didn't plan to let go of her hand, and she couldn't pull her hand out of Nan Xuanyu's hand.
Nan Xuanlin looked at the angry Nan Xuanyu in front of him with a little teasing eyes, and chuckled lightly: "Could it be that our excellent crown prince has fallen in love with this peaceful county lord who has fallen in love with the country and the city?" That's why I was reluctant to let go. ”
Nan Xuanyu was told that he had broken his heart, so he was annoyed and angry: "Nan Xuanlin! You are enough, An Ning and I are just brother and sister, not the dirty relationship you think. It is so normal for my brother to care about my sister, but you look at us with a different light, and you will slander me and An Ning's innocence again and again. ”
