Chapter 130: After the Dismissal
Hearing that the Empress Dowager also interceded for him, Ning Shaoqing was somewhat relieved.
Xue Jiao sat on one side, looked up and glanced at the Queen Mother, only to see her brows deeply locked and her face solemn. She knew the Empress Dowager's thoughts, but when she looked at Si Teng Feng again, her face was full of relaxation, not so dignified, she must have a bottom in her heart.
Lowering her head, she smiled unexpectedly, raised her eyes again, and was clear, she looked at the end of the banquet, and saw Nangong Yueye holding a wine glass with a comfortable face, tasting the wine, and suddenly looking up, he also looked at her.
She smiled, and so did he, staring at each other, an atmosphere that seemed to be stagnant crept in......
After a moment, Xue Jiaodi narrowed her eyes, turned sideways, looked at Si Teng Feng, and said: "Your Majesty, since the Empress Dowager also said it, Ning Shangshu didn't mean it, and Xue Jiao is okay to talk about it...... It's not as good as ......."
Before Xue Jiao finished speaking, Si Teng Feng reached out and stroked the back of her hand, and said with a frown: "What is this doing, concubine?" Don't you want to intercede for her? ”
Xue Jiao smiled lightly: "More things are better than less things, after all, it is all caused by Xue Jiao, the emperor might as well rely on Xue Jiao, and the matter will be stopped." Raising his eyes, he unexpectedly bumped into Si Fuji Feng's deep eyes: "How?" ”
Asking Si Teng Feng, she stared into his eyes, presumably Si Teng Feng also knew it, seemed to hesitate for a while, and turned her eyes to look at the two kneeling in His Highness.
"Since Concubine Ai intercedes for you, I will not pursue this matter for the time being, but there will still be a small punishment." Si Teng Feng said coldly: "Spread my will, the most important thing is twenty boards, and the service will be suspended for one year as a punishment." ”
When Si Teng Feng announced, both of them seemed to be relieved, fortunately, it was just the twenty boards, Ning Shaoqing was already a general, and the twenty boards were not a major punishment, he still supported it.
Si Teng Feng looked at Chang Kuan on the side again, this person was very mediocre and had no opinions, but he couldn't do anything even if he was placed in the Criminal Department......
In a strange atmosphere, the banquet finally dissipated...... It is not so much a banquet as a warning. However, this was also beyond the scope of the Empress Dowager's expectations, and she left with a cold face without looking at Si Teng Feng.
After the group left, there was no doubt that only Si Tou Feng and Xue Jiao were left at the banquet, as well as a few palace servants who were waiting.
Si Tou Feng got up and looked down at the empty hall of His Highness, and he was very emotional in his heart......
Xue Jiao then got up and stood behind him, her slender figure like a willow: "Isn't there anything bothering the emperor?" ”
There is an indescribable loneliness in his back, which is the loneliness of being an emperor.
She muttered: "If the emperor doesn't mind, why don't you talk to Xue Jiao...... If you put it in your heart, it is really uncomfortable. ”
The tender care between the words was enough to warm Sito Feng's cold heart, and the cold that gradually solidified seemed to dissipate in an instant overnight.
He turned around slowly, raised his eyes to look at her standing behind him, and the faint worry between his eyebrows was deeply condensed.
"Concubine Ai is worried about it......" grabbed Xue Jiao's waist: "It's getting late, Concubine Ai still goes back to bed first." ”
"Then the emperor, ...... you"
"I still have some things to deal with...... "I bowed her head slightly, and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, the warm touch condensed in the center of her eyebrows for a long time, Xue Jiao couldn't help frowning, she didn't know how she felt at the moment......
With a shallow kiss, Si Teng Feng looked at her: "Go back and rest first, I'll go over later......"
The tenderness at this moment undoubtedly surrounded her, and she nodded, "Then Xue Jiao will go back first." ”
One last glance at Sito Feng, and seeing him nodding to her, she turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
In the thick of the night, faint starlight can be faintly seen, not as eye-catching as usual, nor so bright. The hazy moonlight slowly filled the milky white light, and a cold wind swept through it instantly...... Roll up the petals scattered all over the place...... Glamorous ......
The lonely palace is surrounded by more than the remnants of flowers, but everyone knows that every corner has an unknown depression......
Xue Jiao walked slowly on the path, the red gauze skirt was not so dazzling at night, the palace servants on both sides held lanterns in their hands, illuminating the road, Xue Jiao walked in the middle, staring ahead, I don't know what she was thinking......
Suddenly, he stopped and looked around.
Xiao Yu, who was following behind him, said suspiciously: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”
Xue Jiao's eyes tightened, and she said: "I lost the handkerchief of this palace, and I lost it on the way to come, you go to find it." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Xiao Yu took a few Gong Yu behind him and turned around to look for the way he came, and Gong Yu who was holding the lamp on the side was still standing, and Yiyi also followed.
Xue Jiao turned to look at everyone, "You all go and look for it, and the palace can go back by yourself." ”
"But mother...... The night is dark...... It's better for the slaves to follow......" Yiyi hesitated.
Xue Jiao suddenly frowned: "Don't you don't listen to the words of this palace?" ”
Kneeling on the ground, the same is true of the person holding the lamp on the side: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Go quickly, don't delay the hour." It's all for her sake, and Xue Jiao doesn't want to blame anything.
Seeing a few people leaving, Xue Jiao stared into the distance, could this person be haunted?
"Lord Nangong, haven't you forgotten the agreement we only saw?"
In the distance, from behind a pine and cypress tree, a white figure walked out, a white gauze dress, gently lifting a touch of clothes in the breeze. fluttering, with his handsome appearance, he is handsome and extraordinary.
He held the jade flute in his hand, and walked to Xue Jiao's side with one hand behind his back, only to see him smiling, and he couldn't see what he was going to do?
"Why do you know my presence every time?" He raised his eyebrows slightly: "At this point, I'm very curious?" ”
The first time she guessed his identity, he was curious, but after she could guess his appearance one after another, his curiosity was aroused even more.
He didn't believe that Xue Jiao could do anything, just by her breath, he could be sure.
"I don't want to explain this yet." Xue Jiao coldly refused to tell him the answer, after all, this was the only way for her to recognize him, if she did, wouldn't he be by her side next time, and she wouldn't know it?
"Lord Nangong, you haven't said it yet, why are you here?" With a smile: "What should you remember promised?" ”
He chuckled, "Not bad...... But this time I came here, it was a pure coincidence, but I passed by here, I wanted to enjoy the scenery, and I didn't expect to meet the concubine. ”
"I didn't think that Lord Nangong was so late at night, and there was still leisure to enjoy the scenery......" Xue Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, staring at the handsome man standing in front of her, silent.
For a long time, both of them were immersed in a wordless silence, and she did not speak, but looked at him, the inscrutable man.
For a moment, Nangong Yueye suddenly stretched out his hand, and a falling petal fell into his palm.
After looking at it carefully, he spoke: "How does the concubine feel when she sees the falling flowers?" ”
Asked inexplicably, Xue Jiao frowned: "What does Lord Nangong want to say, you might as well say it directly, this palace doesn't have time to accompany you here to see these so-called beautiful scenery." ”
He smiled lightly and raised his eyes, his cold voice was like a pleasant flute sound, "It seems that the emperor is indeed very unique with you." Deep eyes stared at her: "This is completely beyond my imagination." ”
Originally, he thought that in Si Tengfeng's heart, there would always be only one Xiahou Dance, but now it seems that this is not the case......
He was puzzled...... What is the charm of this woman in front of her that makes Sito Feng treat her so uniquely?
Insiders know that in January when Xiahou Meiwu left, Si Tou Feng seemed to be a different person, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Suddenly looking up at the sky, it seems that you are no more than that......
A touch of arc quietly spread to the corners of his lips, originally full of anger, after he appeared, Xue Jiao didn't feel it, he seemed to be different tonight, revealing indescribable melancholy......
Xue Jiao lowered her eyebrows, and she could also feel what he said, Si Teng Feng really treated her differently.
"What do you mean?" Raised his eyes and looked at the moonlit night of Nangong.
"I think you should know that I need you to help me find something......" finally went straight to the point, how could he look for her for no reason, not so much to see the scenery, but to say it directly.
Xue Jiao smiled coldly, or sarcastically. Looking for something...... What else is there that he can't get?
"I don't know what you're looking for?" A gentle cold wind blew through, bringing a hint of mockery between her words.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance, with a slight stagger, Xue Jiao turned her eyes to look over, only to see the faint light shining, getting closer and closer.
I couldn't help frowning, someone was coming.
"...... Mother, are you there? I only heard the little fish calling to her, and her voice was mixed with tremors.
Xiao Yu looked around, looking for a figure of Xue Jiao, and the light of the lantern in his hand was a little dim, and he couldn't shine anything. From time to time, she looked sideways.
"...... Mother......
Xue Jiao heard it, raised her eyes to look at the moonlit night of Nangong in front of her, and said solemnly: "Someone is coming, you leave first, and I will look for you tomorrow." ”
Nangong stood in place on a moonlit night and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that I will be discovered?" ”
Xue Jiao looked at him complicatedly, "If you want to reveal your identity, I don't mind if you continue to stand." After saying that, he walked sideways in the direction of Xiaoyu.
He called, "I'll be here again." ”
When she looked again in the direction where he was standing, there was no one left. Like a breeze, it quickly swept by her side, only to feel that there seemed to be a figure flickering in front of her. After that, everything was as before.
Xiao Yu heard Xue Jiao's voice, and hurriedly ran towards Xue Jiao, with an anxious face: "Niangniang, I can find you, the slaves and maids have met the emperor, and now the emperor is already afraid that he is waiting in Yixue Pavilion." ”
Indifferently relieved, Xue Jiao looked at Xiaoyu: "Let's go." ”
