From that day on, it was as if they had really put aside their old suspicions. Nie Xingji would come to accompany Wei Nong for lunch every day, talk about some interesting things that happened in the court, and then stare at her to drink medicine and take a nap, while he would go to the side hall to take a nap.

In the evenings, he always has all kinds of banquets, entertainment, and secret conversations. Wei Nong knew that he was just winning people's hearts, so he didn't ask much. If he had withdrawn early, he would have come to see her; If it's late, she won't bother, and sometimes she sits alone for a while in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, asking the palace maid about her today's situation; Sometimes they go straight back to the dormitory to rest.

After more than ten days like this, he seemed to gradually intrude into her life. The side hall of Weiyang Palace was changed into a study by him, and a soft couch was added. He began to review the recitals here, and even stayed overnight. But the next morning, he never had breakfast here, and always left quietly, not disturbing her sleep.

However, there is always a bottom line between them, he will not talk about political affairs here, and if he wants to receive foreign ministers, he will still go to the holy study. But no matter how busy she is, she can't move every day to accompany her to lunch, and she changes tricks to persuade her to eat, and she eats as he wishes.

After February, entering March, Wei Nong felt that he was finally plump, and when he looked in the mirror, his face was not so pale. The companionship in this month is like a stolen day, there is no resentment, no love and hate between her and him, just like an old friend who has not seen each other for a long time, and they get along indifferently.

It is undeniable that this feeling is good, because it is short-lived, it is even more precious. She knew that this was Nie Xingji's ploy and wanted to shake her will to leave, so she quietly wrote the word "Chu" on the dressing table and read it every morning and evening, so as not to soften her heart.

On the first day of March, spring is in full bloom. At noon, Weinong went to the imperial garden for a walk, and found that many palace people were in a hurry. After asking, I found out that it was Nie Xingji who took Fangzhou's henchmen and concubines into the palace, and now he is busy arranging accommodation and cleaning the palace.

Wei Nong didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and he lost his interest in visiting the garden, so he returned to Weiyang Palace in advance. And at noon that day, Nie Xingji did not come to Weiyang Palace for lunch for the first time, and only sent someone to pass the word, saying that he was busy with government affairs.

In the evening, he arrived. At that time, Wei Nong was reading by candlelight, and when he heard the palace people's communication, he had to put down the book.

Just as he was about to get up to greet him, Nie Xingji had already lifted the bead curtain and stepped in, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately frowned: "Still reading so late?" Beware of hurting your eyes. ”

Raised his eyes slightly, and smiled as usual: "Don't you often pick up the lamp to review the chapters?" ”

"That's different." Nie Xingchen replied helplessly, walked directly to her and sat down, and naturally held her hand: "If you wear so little, your hands are cold." ”

He has to worry about her food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, and in the past month, Wei Nong has long been accustomed to it, but he still quietly withdrew his finger and explained: "It's spring, it's too hot." ”

Nie Xingji glanced at the empty palm, and still persuaded with a smile: "Once upon a time in Fangzhou, I heard an ancient saying called 'spring covers autumn frost'. It's better to hold on to it for now and wait until autumn to ......."

At this point, he stopped suddenly, and Wei Nong didn't know how to answer.

Where is autumn for them? Next month, she will leave for Jiang Guo.

A hint of sadness gradually faded in, engulfing the peace of the month. This is a topic that they have always avoided talking about, but they always jump out of the way when they are comfortable with each other.

Wei Nong wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, so he casually asked, "Why didn't you come for lunch?" As soon as she said this, she herself was startled. I don't mind......

And Nie Xingji didn't have the pleasure he imagined, he seemed to be stunned for a moment before replying: "The people from Fangzhou have all come, and it was not easy to get together today, and after the discussion, they directly set up a banquet and drank a few glasses." He paused, and deliberately explained, "I don't want to spoil their interest." ”

"It should." Slightly lowered his eyes.

Nie Xingji realized it later, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyebrows: "Are you caring about me?" ”

"Uh, no......" Before she could finish her retort, Nie Xingji couldn't help but stretch out his arm, wanting to take her into his arms.

Wei Nong was caught off guard by him, and fell into his arms all of a sudden, and was about to struggle to get up, when his body suddenly froze.

She boasted a keen sense of smell, and she could already smell a refreshing smell of him - he was bathing. It's not yet dinner, how could he ......

Remembering what she had heard this morning, she was silent.

At this time, Nie Xingji also noticed her abnormality, and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Nong put his hands against his broad chest and slowly sat up: "It's okay." She rubbed her forehead: "It's just a sudden headache." ”

Nie Xingchen believed this statement to be true, so he wanted to call the imperial doctor, but she stopped him: "No need...... I didn't take a nap today, so I'm probably tired. You know, I've always been weak now. ”

She didn't know why she had to explain so much, but the words came out of her mouth as if they were out of control. Nie Xingji looked at her carefully, as if he had noticed something, and he didn't insist anymore, just looked at her intently: "Not in the future...... I won't leave you alone for lunch again. ”

This sentence sounds like a guarantee. But Weinong didn't want to think about it anymore, straightened his sleeves, and stood up: "Do you want to have dinner here?" ”

Nie Xingji nodded: "When you are better, I will take you to the lake." Yan Yu also got up, and the two of them went to the dining room together.

However, this dinner was unusually silent. Nie Xingji didn't stay long after the meal, and after watching Wei Nong finish drinking the medicine, he left Weiyang Palace, and before leaving, he asked again: "How many days will I take you to the lake?" ”

This time, Wei Nong finally gave him a precise sentence, and there was no expectation or resistance in his words: "Okay." ”

*****

Nie Xingji did what he said. Two days later, he pushed off the entangled government affairs and arranged to swim in the lake with Wei Nong.

It's still the Green Lake.

Fast forward to two years. Two years ago, King Yan once met Weinong to visit here at night and set her new identity and marriage. And two years later, the old place revisited, things are not people. However, it is comforting that she is about to break free from the shackles of this identity, and Nie Xingji has also won as King Yan wishes.

Obviously, Nie Xingji didn't know that she had been here, and he told her about the scenery of Green Lake all the way in the chariot. Wei Min listened patiently, sometimes smiling, but not saying a word.

After staying on the gilded cloud boat, the two leaned against the porthole to enjoy the scenery, and before they could rest for long, a guard presented an urgent report. Nie Xingji's displeasure was obvious, but he didn't dare to delay the political affairs, and he didn't shy away from being present at all, and directly commanded. Halfway through his speech, he saw that Wei Nong had been looking out the window idly, so he put down the report again, and ordered the guard: "Deal with it for the time being, you can retreat first." ”

The guard looked at his nose and nose, and did not look at Wei Nong from beginning to end, and leaned over to take the order.

Wei Nong originally had no intention of listening to them talk about things, but later he overheard a clue and found that this urgent report was sent by Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary state. She suddenly remembered a rumor she had heard, and she had heard it more than once—Nie Xingji intended to marry Du Zhong.

When they came to this point, she felt that there was nothing she couldn't ask, so she also asked bluntly: "It is rumored outside that you intend to marry the daughter of Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary country." Is it true? ”

"Do you care?" Nie Xingji looked at her deeply, his gaze faintly probing.

Wei Nong put his left arm on the porthole and turned his head to look out the window: "I'm curious." ”

Nie Xingji smiled: "Du Zhong is a smart man, he cares more about military power than being a national ruler. You know, if he becomes the ruler of the country, he will no longer be able to hold on to military power. Relatives are most taboo about this. ”

"But in the long run, it's better to be your father-in-law." Wei Nong said lightly.

"With the lessons of the Helian clan and the Ming clan, I guess he won't think so." Nie Xingji also looked out the window and sighed: "A truly capable person does not have to use marriage to stabilize his position, he will be reused." ”

"In the same way, the real way of dominating people does not have to encircle subordinates through marriage, and it can still make people surrender." Nie Xingji seemed to be deliberately explaining something, and glanced at Wei Nong: "This is also the truth I have only recently realized." ”

Wei Min seemed to be thoughtful and did not answer.

"My last position, only for you. If you don't want it, leave it empty. Suddenly, he brought up the subject, and there was unconcealable eagerness and despair in his words.

For more than a month, they have never mentioned the matter of men and women, especially the "posterior", which is the first time since they met. Wei Nong was a little uncomfortable, and he blurted out to him for some reason: "Because I have a 'queen's destiny'?" ”

"You know not." In just five words, it seems to have the deep affection and profundity of Huan Kuo Yu.

Wei Nong subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Nie Xingji, and unfortunately met his gaze. Eyes met, and a ray of sunlight poured through the porthole between his brows, casting a shadow on the side of his tall nose, making his gaze deep, like a lava abyss, trying to lure her into it, burning to ashes.

Wei Nong looked at him and didn't say anything, so he took the lead in breaking the deadlock and laughed: "I thought you should avoid my gaze again, and then sarcastically said coldly." ”

"As you say," Wei Nong really listened to him, slowly lowering her long eyelashes, "I do have a sentence, but it is not sarcastic. ”

"What?" Nie Xingji knew that he couldn't listen, but he couldn't help but want to listen.

The slightly thick red lips opened slightly, but when it came to the mouth, he hesitated, and turned to a soft sneer: "Forget it, let's not say it, so as not to disappoint the fun." ”

But as soon as this sentence came out, it was already a disappointment. At least Weinong himself was depressed and had no intention of swimming in the lake again. She couldn't help laughing at herself: "I'm such a bad guy." ”

Nie Xingjian laughed loudly, couldn't help but gently touch her cheek, and after a while, he let go of his hand, pinched Du Zhong's emergency report, and said, "Then let's go back!" It just so happens that I also have urgent matters to deal with. ”

As soon as he said this, the subordinates hurriedly ordered the return voyage, and on the way back, the two had a simple lunch. When he returned to the shore, Nie Xingji immediately instructed the people around him: "Spread Du Zhong to wait in the holy study." ”

After that, he carried it with him and sat on the chariot back to the palace together. Seeing that he was in such a hurry to summon Du Zhong, Wei Nong knew that he had really encountered something tricky, and couldn't help sighing: "It's hard to endure for you for a while, and I didn't let me see it at all." ”

Nie Xingji was silent for a moment, with a little weakness in his words: "I'm sorry, I couldn't accompany you well." ”

He shrugged his shoulders with a slight smile and said he didn't care. But she also knew in her heart that this was just the beginning, Nie Xingji would be busier and busier in the future, and this more than a month of companionship was already the limit of what he could do.

And apparently, she is not at all used to this life - to be his woman, to stay quietly in the harem, to wait for his good fortune, to accommodate his daily affairs.

Find yourself another reason to go! Thinking like this, the haze in her heart disappeared together.

Along the way, the two of them had their own concerns, so when they arrived at the palace gate, Nie Xingji insisted on sending Wei Nong back to Weiyang Palace first.

Wei Nong raised the curtain and looked at it, and refused: "You go directly to the holy study." We don't have to run back and forth on different roads. ”

Nie Xingji persisted for a long time, but when he saw that he couldn't persuade her, and he was really in a hurry, he had to tell her: "After you go back, remember to take medicine." ”

Smile slightly. Nie Xingji then parted from her in front of the palace gate and got into the chariot behind. The two men, one facing south and the other north, headed in different directions.

The palace is no better than the outside of the palace, and the chariot can't go too fast. The afternoon sun is warm, and people are easy to get sleepy when sitting in this slow car. Weinong was afraid of catching a cold, and he didn't dare to fall asleep, so he lifted the curtain of the car with his spirits, trying to wake himself up.

Not far away, three or five women in palace costumes gathered on the palace road, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Because she was riding with Nie Xingji before, Xiaoxin did not accompany her in the car. If she was there, she would definitely want to divert her attention at this moment, because those women outside were Nie Xingji's concubines in Fangzhou.

As the chariot drove past them, a woman was faintly heard screaming sarcastically: "What? Think your Highness will be able to turn over after resting with you for a while? After that, I didn't give medicine......"

As soon as Wei Nong heard this, their conversation was abruptly interrupted, and it was Xiaoxin who ran down from the chariot behind and shouted, "What are you doing?" Who allowed you to discuss Your Highness in vain on the palace road? ”

Wei Nong poked her head out slightly, and saw that Xiaoxin had already run over angrily, and she was about to scold again.

"Xiaoxin," Wei faintly called her, "Don't be rude to a few ladies." Come back. Without saying another word, she lowered the curtains.

Xiaoxin had to glare at them fiercely, snorted coldly, and ran into the slightly thick chariot.

The latter leaned into the car with a blank face, his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Xiaoxin bit her lower lip, but still opened her mouth with difficulty: "Niangniang, don't listen to their nonsense, maybe it's on purpose." Those country women who are small families don't understand the rules at all, and they will make this kind of rotten tricks! ”

"I am also from a small family, and I am also from Fangzhou." Wei Nong still closed his eyes and only responded to this sentence.

Xiaoxin stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't mean that." ”

Wei Nong waved his hand at her: "I want to sleep for a while, call me when it's time." ”

It turned out that this was the reason why he didn't come to lunch the day before. It turned out that she really guessed it.

Wei Nong suddenly remembered the sentence she didn't say when she was swimming in the lake, that extremely disappointing sentence, she wanted to say to him at the time-

Even if the back position is vacant, it will not prevent you from having three thousand harems and concubines.
