Chapter 10 Adultery
The people in the hall gradually dispersed, but Ji Nong was still standing in the same place, and Chaorong, who took the cloak, saw her in a trance, and just put his clothes on her shoulders, and then retreated to the side to accompany her, without saying a word, for fear of disturbing her.
After a while, I heard her sigh and turn around. Chao Rong saw that her expression was quite peaceful, so he boldly asked, "Your Highness, can you go back?" ”
"You can stay with me a little longer." Ji Nong shook his head, "If you feel cold, you can also add some clothes, don't worry about the cold." ”
"The servant is fine." Chao Rong smiled and asked again, "It's just that Your Highness didn't like this Qianqiu Lake in the past, why did you stop for so long tonight?" ”
"I think of the Slender West Lake in Guangling City." Ji Nong didn't want to think about it, so he made a nonsense reason, but fortunately, Guangling in this era is Yangzhou in his own space, and Slender West Lake also exists, "Don't you think that looking at this water, people's hearts are also clear." The ancients said that the wise man is happy with water, and there is really some truth. ”
"Your Highness has gained a lot tonight, but the servant still looks at you with a sad face. To put it mildly, a few of us are very worried. Chao Rong saw that her face was as usual, and knew that she was willing to listen, "You haven't smiled much since the horse went. Actually, the bitterness in your heart..."
"Are you trying to kill me?" Although Ji Nong said this, he still had a smile on his face, and his tone was not stern, "Don't mention the word horse again in the future." Xu Jinyang has nothing to do with me anymore, the day his father raised the army, his father ordered us to reconcile and depose him from the title of horse, so, you remember, I don't have a horse. ”
"The maid just saw you and Pei Langjun standing together from a distance, and she also felt very harmonious." Chao Rong bowed slightly, signaling the abruptness of what he had just said, and continued, "This person is also a good match. ”
"What is the difference between Pei Langjun and others? You see, although the eighth child is also married to the Langjun of the Xu family, it is only a second room, and she has never been out of office, so she has the elegance of the daughter-in-law of the family, and the benefits of the prince's brother-in-law, this is a marriage that everyone is happy about. Ji Nong shook his head, recalling the plot of the original book, but he really felt a little emotional, "What hindered me back then will not change today, and it will only be more difficult." You see that I am now above the princes, and the scenery is incomparable, but maybe people will avoid me, and I don't know. ”
"Your Highness." Chaorong, who was familiar with the original owner's regret when he was a teenager, called out, and his eyes were red, and he couldn't speak.
Ji Nong smiled slightly and said, "Now that I have seven thousand fiefdoms, it stands to reason that you, as the female official in charge of affairs around me, should be promoted to at least three grades." I thought it would not be difficult to ask the concubine to make an exception to seal you as a second-grade official, how about you to do Zhaorong? ”
"If Your Highness wasn't making fun of the servant, then the servant would really have to kowtow to you a few times. How many noble lords have given birth to heirs who have not yet been able to reach this position, and a few of the servants have this honor. When Chaorong heard this, he also smiled, and the tears in his eyes were squeezed out, "If you don't say that Your Highness is wise, these people around me are all rushing to the official positions of the second grade, and their names are very similar." ”
"Yes, the queen mother was really prescient." Ji Nong sighed softly again, but seriously thought about the original mother who had never met before, "When I gave you to me, I gave these names to me, but I just said them through my mouth." Otherwise, you think that this palace didn't know a few words at that time, so I could name you, don't you think too highly of me. ”
"It's not too early, let's go back too." Ji Nong gathered the cloak on his body, "Today is a full day of tossing, and I am also tired." ”
Chao Rong accompanied her back to the side hall, and saw a prisoner respectfully greet her. Ji Nong already knew that in his own capacity, he could not speak to palace people of ordinary grade at will, and he established this rule in order to show his dignity and humility, and to clarify his rank. Even if it is his own personal palace people, except for the four female officials and the four first-class palace maids, the replies of the little palace maids are all passed on by them.
After listening to him, Chao Rong came to Ji Nong's side and replied, saying that the prince had just drunk too much wine and was a little drunk, so he left the table early, thinking of sending her back to the palace by the way, but he didn't see her. left half of his honor guard and guards to Ji Nong, and now that he saw her come back, he asked if he wanted to drive.
sighed at the prince's thoughtfulness, but Ji Nong was stunned before boarding the honor guard. Not stunned by the luxury of the prince's guard of honor, but to see a person who shouldn't be here.
"Commander Yu went to see off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and when His Highness left, he specially instructed Lord Xie to send you back." Chao Rong attached to her ear, and her tone was indescribably strange, "I also left you a note." ”
Ji Nong took the note and slowly unfolded it under the gaze of the man in front of him with a sustained gentle gaze. There are eight big characters written on it, which are "the front edge can be continued, and the comer can be chased".
Ji Nong thought that if the resentment could be turned into a substance, there must be a cloud of black gas floating on her head right now, could anyone tell her that this prince still had time to worry about this kind of heart! Say that there are many opportunities for the day!
With a smile on her face, she sighed and said, "It's late now, if it's this frame, I'm afraid it will alarm many people, and it will be a sin." Fortunately, Qiwu Palace is not far from here, so it is better for a few of you to accompany the palace. Lord Xie is a foreign man, I'm afraid I will enter the harem..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the ministers to send the princess to the princess, and the ministers did not dare to be perfunctory." Xie Yao's empathetic qualities disappeared at this moment, and he was still serious, "His Royal Highness's Qiwu Palace, adjacent to the East Palace, is at the junction of the outer palace of the harem, since His Royal Highness does not sit on the car, the minister will escort His Royal Highness from the Qiankun Pavilion, the distance is a lot closer, and it happens to be the harem." ”
"I don't want the adults to be familiar with the palace, but the palace is surprised."
"Before the Guangling assassination, the minister had been a Lang official for more than a year, and His Highness knew it. In this way, the minister regarded it as a compliment, but he was also glad that he had not wasted it. Xie Yao's posture was respectful, and the words he said made Ji Nong feel a little choked. How could she forget that the origin of the past between Xie Yao and the original owner was because of Xie Yao's identity as an official that the two of them could provide an opportunity to have an adulterous relationship!
Ji Nong was glad that the night was dark, and Xie Yao couldn't see her embarrassed look at this time, so he maintained a dignified posture and said, "In this way, there is Master Lao." ”
Xie Yao personally lit the lantern for Ji Nong, and only Chao Rong followed behind him, and the rest of the palace people were separated by a considerable distance, embellished behind. Are the palace people in this world so considerate? Wouldn't anyone think it's strange for a lonely man and a widow to walk so openly in the middle of the night...
The answer is obvious, and no one except the person concerned finds this scene strange. It wasn't until a long time later that Chao Rong said in surprise when she asked about it: "Your Highness, before you got married, you liked to pull around the palace and outside the palace. Once, didn't you drink with Xu Shizi in the library until dawn, and the whole palace looked for you all night, and you forgot about it? ”
And right now, Xie Yao said slowly in her ear in a voice that she couldn't even hear: "Has Your Highness taken a fancy to Pei Lun?" The minister thought that it was better to choose Yu Jiming. ”
