10. Gradual affection
In the Zisu Palace, Yun Ni taught Ning Yufan a lesson while carefully medicating Ning Qiwei: "Fan'er, you are becoming more and more disobedient, look at your brother's knee scarred." Ning Yufan lowered his head.
Yun Niyi was very angry: "It's not for you to stay in the room and study." But you run out and be mischievous. Is the copy done? Ning Yufan lowered his head even lower.
Yun Niyi was angry: "It's not good to read." Just know to be naughty. Copy the book for me. Ning Yufan stubbornly retorted: "I don't want it." ”
Ning Qiwei felt that the atmosphere was very tense, and she excused herself that the minister was waiting for her to go to the meeting. Yun Niyi shouted from behind, "Wei'er, I haven't finished giving you medicine yet." "Queen Mother, I'm fine." Ning Qiwei walked out of the Shiso Palace with strong support.
Out of the Shiso Palace, Ning Qiwei met Liang Rui who was patrolling. Liang Rui saw Ning Qiwei limping, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Why are you injured like this?" ”
Of course, Ning Qiwei wouldn't tell him how she wrestled, she said in disguise: "Oh, I accidentally bumped it." It's okay. I can walk on my own. Just let me go on my own. Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei's unsteady appearance, and asked suspiciously, "Can you really walk by yourself?" Ning Qiwei said impatiently: "I have my own feet, why can't I walk." ”
Liang Rui smiled and said, "Okay." I let it go. After saying this, Liang Rui let go of the hand holding Ning Qiwei.
Ning Qiwei suddenly lost Liang Rui's support, and she was a little unstable. She took a hard step forward with her right foot to get to her feet, and a pain came from her knee. Ning Qiwei felt that her right leg was weak, and she was about to fall to her knees. The ground was covered with frozen ice. Ning Qiwei said in her heart: This time I have suffered again.
At this moment, a warm hand took her in her arms, and she was taken into the arms of a man. Ning Qiwei had an illusion: this embrace was very warm. Ning Qiwei felt as if the world was frozen at this moment, and gradually the air around her seemed to stop flowing.
Ning Qiwei immediately realized her identity. She looked up and saw Liang Rui, who was still smiling, and she pushed him away with all her might. Liang Rui took several steps back, while Ning Qiwei fell to the ground. The smile on the corner of Liang Rui's mouth condensed, and he looked at Ning Qiwei puzzled. Ning Qiwei felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and she realized her gaffe.
Ning Qiwei struggled to get up. Regardless of the pain in her knees, she just wanted to escape from this "place of right and wrong" quickly.
Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei, who was limping away, and his brows furrowed. Liang Rui took out a purse embroidered with green willows and green lotus from his arms, and he thought silently: Purse, purse, you let me find you again. What can you help me change?
Ning Qiwei limped into Mingde Palace. Caiyun was startled when she saw Ning Qiwei's appearance: "My little ancestor! You get out early in the morning. How did it come to look like this? Ning Qiwei finally found the person who complained: "It's not Yufan's trouble." Caiyun smiled and said, "It's good to meet that little devil." She carefully helped Ning Qiwei into the dormitory.
In the evening, Ning Rong visited. Ning Rong didn't see Ning Qiwei go to the imperial study for a day, so she came over to take a look.
Ning Qiwei leaned on the pillow closed, her injured right foot exposed outside the quilt. Ning Rong walked into the dormitory by herself, and she saw Ning Qiwei resting. She sat down quietly on the edge of the bed.
Ning Rong sat bored, and she looked around. A poem in a picture frame on the wall caught her attention. She stepped forward gently and muttered, "The catkins are like a dream, and the smoke and rain are like acacia." The drizzle does not solve the sorrow in the boudoir, and the willow silk is difficult to cut the spring breeze. ”
Ning Qiwei opened her eyes and saw that it was Ning Rong. Ning Qiwei sighed: "Lord Ningrong, what a Yaxing! Ning Rong turned his head and saw Ning Qiwei. Ning Rong has seen the emperor. Ning Rong hurriedly saluted.
Ning Qiwei asked Ning Rong to sit on the edge of the bed, and Ning Rong walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Ning Qiwei jokingly said to Ning Rong: "Ning Rong likes poetry so much. So can you tell me about your understanding of that poem? ”
Ning Rong looked at Ning Qiwei a little stunned, and then said: "Liu Fu, the smoke and rain are already hazy, ethereal, and unoriented. This is to say that love is inherently hazy and changeable. Perhaps what the heroine gets later is nothing more than some ethereal and infinite melancholy. ”
Ning Qiwei said in surprise: "Ning Rong, you have been by my side for so long, and it is the first time that I know that you like to read poetry so much. Ning Rong smiled: "Alas! I can read poetry, but I can't read the mind. ”
Ning Qiwei was very confused: "Read minds." What do you mean! Ning Rong's expression was solemn: "The so-called falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless." Some people want to stay together for the rest of their lives. But in the end, it's just wishful thinking on your own. ”
Ning Qiwei said with a smile: "Lord Ningrong, you don't have a heart. "I... I like it, maybe he doesn't have me in his heart. Ning Rong's eyes looked at Ning Qiwei in confusion.
Ning Qiwei suddenly felt a little inexplicably embarrassed. Ning Qiwei reluctantly smiled and said, "Oh, that's right. Yu Fan has been clamoring to eat the lotus cake you made for the past two days. Ning Rong had a little sadness in her eyes, and she lowered her head: "I'll make it for him tomorrow." Ning Qiwei felt very hurtful, but her identity was very embarrassing.
After Ning Rong left, Ning Qiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Qiwei thought about what happened today, and she panicked in her heart.
Liang Rui's smile and warm embrace appeared in Ning Qiwei's consciousness from time to time. Ning Qiwei thought: Oh my God! I wouldn't like Liang Rui. No way, how could I possibly like someone I wanted to run away from.
Ning Qiwei was thinking nonsense, and Xu Chang walked in: "Your Majesty, Liang Rui, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, asks to see you." Ning Qiwei was restless at this time, she was really afraid of something. Ning Qiwei said to Xu Chang: "You told him that I had fallen asleep. "This... Be! Xu Chang turned around and walked out.
Ning Qiwei gently moved her right foot, which was a little paralyzed. Xu Chang walked in again. Ning Qiwei asked, "Xuchang, what's the matter?" Xu Chang replied: "Commander Liang asked his ministers to bring something to the emperor." Ning Qiwei was very curious: "What is it?" ”
Xu Chang handed the things in his hand to Ning Qiwei, and Ning Qiwei took a closer look, it was a purse embroidered with green willows and green lotuses embroidered with gold wire. Ning Qiwei was shocked, didn't this purse disappear nine years ago?
Ning Qiwei anxiously asked Xuchang: "What about Liang Ruiren?" Xu Chang looked at Ning Qiwei strangely and said, "Wait outside for the emperor to summon you." Ning Qiwei said to Xu Chang: "Tell him to come in immediately." "Yes," Xu Chang walked out again.
After a while, Liang Rui walked in alone. Liang Rui gave Ning Qiwei a salute: "The ministers see the emperor." Ning Qiwei smiled and said, "Commander Liang is really a yang and a yin. Do one thing in front of me, and do one thing behind my back. Liang Rui frowned: "The emperor doesn't understand what the minister means." ”
Ning Qiwei said in a sloppy voice: "You don't understand, do you?" Then I'll make it clear to you. The contents of this purse are in your hands, and what are you doing with this purse today? You should know the power of what is in this purse. Go ahead! What do you want? Let's make a deal. ”
Liang Rui smiled and smiled strangely: "It turns out that you only have interests and transactions in your heart. All right! I'm here today to do one thing, to take the trouble of sticking your injured foot out. ”
Ning Qiwei was a little vigilant: "What are you going to do?" You dare to try it. Liang Rui said with a smile: "The minister has no malice. Chancellor just to see how your foot injury is? Liang Rui said this and leaned in front of Ning Qiwei. Ning Qiwei suddenly became nervous: "You..."
Liang Rui ignored Ning Qiwei's reaction, he reached out and gently rolled up the trouser leg of Ning Qiwei's right foot. With an inadvertent friction, Ning Qiwei "hissed" in pain. Liang Rui asked gently, "Does it hurt?" This voice moved Ning Qiwei a little. Ning Qiwei shook her head.
Liang Rui continued to carefully pull the hem of his pants to his knees. Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei's traumatized knee, and his brows furrowed tightly: "How did you hit it?" It hurt so badly. ”
Liang Rui's words immediately brought Ning Qiwei back to today's unfortunate encounter. Ning Qiwei was furious: "You are here to interrogate me." See, are you sure? Liang Rui didn't understand how to offend this moody emperor again.
At the end, Liang Rui took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from his sleeve. Liang Rui said to Ning Qiwei with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, you bear with it." I'm going to give you medicine. Ning Qiwei was a little scared in her heart: "Can you not take medicine?" ”
Liang Rui smiled and said, "Are you afraid of pain so you don't call the imperial doctor." "You... How do you know. Ning Qiwei couldn't help but ask. Those who know you are not fall..."Liang Rui saw that Ning Qiwei was staring at him viciously, and he immediately changed his words: "I guess." Hehe! ”
Liang Rui hurriedly bent down to rub the medicine on Ning Qiwei. She didn't even dare to move Ning Qiwei's injury, Liang Rui used some strength, and Ning Qiwei gritted her teeth in pain. Liang Rui encouraged Ning Qiwei while slowing down.
Liang Rui's hand seemed to have magic power, and Ning Qiwei's knee was swollen a lot. "Okay, you can keep these. In today's way, rubbing it a few more times will be fine. Liang Rui handed the small porcelain vase to Ning Qiwei.
"The minister retired." After Liang Rui finished speaking, he walked out. "Wait. It's never too late to leave what's in your purse and go. Ning Qiwei said sharply in the back.
"Those are not in my hands." Liang Rui said calmly. "If you don't have those things, you won't know the purse is mine. You're lying. Ning Qiwei argued. Your Majesty, I've just picked up a purse. The emperor didn't believe it. I can't help it. Liang Rui said this and left.
Ning Qiwei really wanted to grab the arrogant Liang Rui and torture him to force him to tell the whereabouts of those things. But Ning Qiwei remembered that he had just treated his injuries, and she endured it.
At this time, Yun Niyi walked in with Ning Yufan. Ning Qiwei was angry when she saw Ning Yufan: "What are you doing here?" Yu Fan obediently walked to Ning Qiwei's side: "Brother! I've come to confess my mistake to you. Don't be angry. Ning Yufan's childish voice made Ning Qiwei dispel her anger.
