Things are people, not everything (4)
It was already dusk when Li Ezi and his party returned to the dormitory.
Not long after entering the palace gate, the slave maid who had been waiting by Li Ezi's side heard the movement and hurriedly welcomed the guest out.
Before Li Ezi could say half a word, she saw the girl pulling her, looking at her back and forth several times like interrogating a prisoner, and then began to ask a bunch of questions: "Niangniang, where have you been?" The slave and maid just listened to your instructions and turned around to help you water the flowers, why did you come back to your senses and didn't see you in the temple..."
That's not all, only halfway through the conversation, he turned around and "fired" at Xiangling: "I said Xiangling, what's the matter with you?" I'm not here for a while, and you just let my mother go without permission, if there is any danger, what should I do..."
β...β
Originally, Li Ezi didn't know if it was because of Zheng Qingqing's matter on the way back, but in fact, she had been keeping her emotions out, but now this girl Rory pulled out a car, and she was a little tired and helpless, but she didn't want to respond.
"What's wrong with the mother?" Seeing Li Ezi's vague appearance, she looked at Li Ezi worriedly for a long time, and saw that Li Ezi still didn't react, but asked Xiangling anxiously: "Niangniang doesn't speak, but you explain to me?" Haven't you always been by your mother's side? How..."
"It's that Nan Wanwan, she... She's back! Oh no, maybe it's not Nan Wanwan who appears now, it should be Zheng Qingqing, the princess of Lanlingβshe's in the emperor's study at the moment! β
"Nan Wanwan? Why did she come back again?! She was shocked on her face, and she was confused in her heart, "Could it be that our mother looks wrong today, and it has something to do with her?" What is she doing in the emperor's study? β
"How do I know this, Sister Biyun. Anyway, it seems that it is all the emperor's intention. As she spoke, the mess in her head made up for the picture of Zheng Qingqing and Yuwen Yong together, and her look and tone looked more indignant, "This emperor is really, seeing Nan Wanwan, oh no, Zheng Qingqing is back in his sight, and he is about to abandon our mother in the blink of an eye!" It's not her fault after all! Am you saying that I am right?! β
It's as if she was wronged and snubbed, not Li Ezi.
He looks like he's doing something serious.
After listening to the impassioned words of the two of them, Li Ezi thought about what had just happened, and she could only smile helplessly in her heart.
She who had not spoken until now finally opened her lips lightly, and she was upset for Yuwen Yong, "But if you talk about the emperor, I also know a little bit of his temperament." I can tell you right here that it wasn't her intention to go back here. Emperor Shenzhi can't force her to return to his side, and he won't use that kind of means to forcibly kidnap Zheng Qingqing's girl to Zhou Guo. β
"So, mother, what the hell is going on?" The two of them were aroused a lot of curiosity by Li Ezi's words, and their eyes flashed with a dazzling brilliance like stars. He asked her in unison.
"You two..." Li Ezi wanted to pretend to be displeased, blaming them for being troublesome, but it was inexplicable, listening to the conversation between these two people who seemed to be bickering, and there was no match, the negative emotions in her heart disappeared.
In the end, they all turned into one action, raised their hands, nodded on the foreheads of the two of them, and pretended to reproach: "With such gossip thoughts, it is better to worry about my appearance at the banquet tonight." I can tell youβif I am not dressed up tonight so that I will not be noticed by the emperor, then I will put this sin on the heads of you two girls. β
In fact, only she knew that these seemingly reproachful words were used by her to euphemistically divert the topic.
But it seems that when she said this, it made the two girls think it was a good thing.
At least their mothers didn't look like they had just come back, in a trance, and they looked a little sullen.
The two were happy, one pulled Li Ezi to the dresser and sat down with her, and the other recorded Li Ezi's favorite hairstyle and favorite style of clothes to wear on weekdays.
At this time, I was busy recording it in a bound white book for Li Ezi to see.
As for Zheng Qingqing, if she can find someone and ask her about the way back to Li Ezi's bedroom, it will be thank God for her.
Because in her memory, when Yu Wenyong was still a big Sikong, she, a dancing girl who danced, sang, and performed as a big Sikong, was really able to go to the palace a handful of times.
However, her mood in her heart at the moment is both happy and worried.
The two were mixed in her heart. Let her feel so good.
The good thing is that at least she has been looking for directions for a while, maybe she is looking for it, and she slowly spends the palace banquet time, so she can sneak out of the palace directly, and then go to Ah Luo and them, and mix out of Chang'an City and return to Jin Yong City in Northern Qi, wouldn't it be a good way?
Worried...
Thinking about it, there was nothing to worry her a little about.
Before you know it, dusk is coming.
The bright red glow stained the blue sky, and the sun gradually sank to the west.
Zheng Qingqing didn't see any palace maids and maids along the way, so he could only walk aimlessly like that.
Before she knew it, she was in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Just as her thoughts wandered, a peach-colored figure suddenly slowly floated from her sight.
Xu is Zheng Qingqing has not yet come to his senses, and he doesn't know that the person has stopped in front of her.
The first thing that wafts into the nose is the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the memory.
When she came back to her senses, she subconsciously looked up at the visitor, but saw her wearing some heavy makeup, with a slightly excited and incredulous voice, echoing in her ears: "Is it you, Wanwan?"
"White Rose?" Listening to the voice of the visitor, Zheng Qingqing stiffened slightly, with a little disbelief, and slowly turned his gaze to her eyes.
But when I met the woman in front of her, she had a thick makeup, which added a bit of charm to her already charming face, and the waist-length three thousand green silks were all pulled up with gorgeous hairstyles, and only a few strands of bangs were obediently and neatly on the forehead.
The soft afterglow enveloped her like a light veil, refracting her intact figure into a slender shadow that magnified infinitely.
The two looked at each other, and when they saw each other, they all subconsciously muttered in surprise, and softly blurted out each other's names uncertainly.
The two fell silent for a long time, and Zheng Qingqing was the first to speak.
But Bai Rose thought that this imperial garden was not a place to speak, so she took Zheng Qingqing's hand, and only then did she speak freely to it with peace of mind until the place where the dancers and musicians practiced on weekdays.
"Wanwan, oh no, it's time to call you Qingqing. How did you come back to the Northern Zhou and enter the palace? Didn't you already go back to Northern Qi? β
"I..."
Zheng Qingqing opened his mouth to speak, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few musicians and dancers passing by them.
Whether it is in the palace or in the courtyard of the deep house, Zheng Qingqing does not understand the truth of the four words "the wall has ears".
Therefore, I plan to pull the white rose to a place where few people have ever passed by and explain it in detail.
However, before they could take a few steps, they heard a somewhat shrill voice reaching their ears from far and near, "Give me a moment to hurry up, the time for the evening palace banquet is getting closer and closer." This is the queen's birthday banquet, but it can't be sloppy. The performance of the show, the practice of the show, the practice of hurry..."
Looks like it's a messenger.
Because their location was far away from him, he didn't notice it for a while.
"It doesn't look like a good place to talk." With some apologies and a silly smile, Bai Rose turned to Zheng Qingqing and muttered softly, "Let's go, I know there's a good place to go."
"But you don't have to... Is it really good to leave so easily? β
This reminiscence is secondary, but her main thing is that she just wants to ask for a way...
But out of subconscious, Bai Rose still responded as usual, and then took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to take a look at Zheng Qingqing and go to another place.
Along the way, they walked aimlessly for a long time, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way, and they didn't know when, they had already walked to a quiet place.
The setting sun gradually took its light.
The canopy gradually changed from a blood-like red to a lonely and tranquil dark blue.
Since they had just bathed and changed clothes, the clothes they gave themselves looked gorgeous, but they did little to maintain the temperature. It's a bit thin.
Seeing Zheng Qingqing suddenly hugging his arms, there was still a bunch of questions about the white rose, so he immediately greeted her at this time and asked her with concern: "Are you cold?" No, it won't..."
"It's not all Yuwen Yong's guy..."Bai Rose didn't ask about this, but suddenly mentioned the matter of clothes again, and her head unconsciously had a faint pain, quite helpless, "Actually, in the end, it wasn't my intention to appear here." β
"You mean it's the emperor..."
Afraid that White Rose would misunderstand what she was accustomed to blurting out, she hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "At first, I thought the same way you did. But I've just seen Yu Wenyong. From the conversation I had with him just now, and the knowledge I knew about him, even if he didn't get what he wanted for a while, he wouldn't do it in secret. β
"Is that so?" White Rose was stunned for a moment, and then asked her again, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Although Bai Rose asked so, somehow all the expressions that completely appeared in his mind at this moment were all his expressions when he was talking to Yu Wenyong, and he didn't feel a little oppressed and uncomfortable.
So he smiled at her again, "I want you to do me a favor - take advantage of the palace banquet in the evening, help me get out of the palace of the Zhou Kingdom, and then I can find a way to escape from Chang'an City and return to Jin Yong City in Northern Qi." β
"Kim Yong Cheng?" White Rose was surprised.
