Chapter 315: Extreme Disdain
Jiang Yingning was very close to Concubine Lian, and she could clearly see her expression.
It can be seen that Concubine Lian is very excited, even though she is trying her best to control it, the waves of surge under her eyes still can't escape Jiang Yingning's eyes.
Concubine Lian looked at Ji Zhongli and didn't speak for a long time, because she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, her voice would betray everything.
After a while, Ji Zhongli took the initiative to speak, "Guifei Niangniang, is there something wrong?" ”
Concubine Lian came back to her senses suddenly, took a few more deep breaths, and her voice sounded as smoothly as possible, "Master Ji, can I trouble you to go too, I want to talk to your little girl." ”
"The concubine is serious, please." Ji Zhongli was neither humble nor arrogant, and watched Concubine Lian leave first, and then he followed with Jiang Yingning.
The group went all the way out of the Zhengyang Hall and went to the Moon Palace of Concubine Lian.
The location of the Yingyue Palace is in the east of the palace, which is the palace specially repaired by Emperor Songde for Lianshui, which is tall and gorgeous, and there is a clear lake next to it, which is particularly beautiful and romantic.
After a few people entered the Yingyue Palace, Lianshui directly took a few people to the third floor, and instructed Cai Wei to prepare snacks and tea.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Cai Wei glanced at Ji Zhongli and Jiang Yingning with some excitement, and then retreated and closed the door.
At this time, only Lianshui, Jiang Yingning and Ji Zhongli remained.
"Lianshui has seen the master, and I have seen Young Master Ji." Lianshui suddenly turned around and knelt down directly in front of the two.
Jiang Yingning was taken aback, Lianshui looked like she should be eighteen or nineteen years old, she was a junior after all, how could she accept such a big gift?
She hurriedly stepped forward to help people, "Guifei Niangniang, you get up quickly, how can you make such a big ceremony." ”
"It's okay." Maybe it's been suppressed for too long, Lianshui is obviously very excited now, and his tears can't stop falling, "Lianshui has not been able to follow the two masters, just let Lianshui kneel for a while." ”
Jiang Yingning still felt that it was inappropriate, but she saw that she couldn't persuade Lianshui, so she immediately looked at Ji Zhongli, "Brother Li, let the concubine get up." ”
Ji Zhongli said in a calm voice, "Lianshui, didn't you hear it?" ”
"Yes." Lianshui really listened to Ji Zhongli's words, immediately wiped his tears, and got up.
Ji Zhongli said with some displeasure, "Lianshui, who your master is, you should understand." ”
Lianshui was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ji Zhongli to be so unfamiliar with him, and then he was a little embarrassed and explained to Jiang Yingning, "Master, please don't mind, Lianshui can enter the palace and do what he is doing now, it was all arranged by Ji Gongzi at the beginning, so ......"
Jiang Yingning immediately smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to be like this, I don't care." ”
"Master, do you still call me a concubine?" Lianshui smiled bitterly, and seemed to dislike this title very much, "You are the same as Ji Gongzi, call me Lianshui." ”
"Then I'll call you Sister Lianshui." Jiang Yingning's attitude is still a little alienated, after all, for so many years, she has not had any direct contact with Lianshui, and she has not participated in the arrangement in the palace.
"Okay." Lianshui didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "It's good that the master is happy." ”
Her eyes always glanced at Ji Zhongli from time to time, and suddenly said embarrassedly, "Look at me I'm so happy and stupid, what are you all doing standing?" Sit down. ”
"Yes." Jiang Yingning nodded and was about to sit down.
Ji Zhongli said, "I won't sit down, I'll go out first, and you can talk slowly." ”
Lianshui suddenly showed a reluctant look.
Jiang Yingning also felt that something was wrong, and immediately stood up, wanting to stop Ji Zhongli from leaving.
Ji Zhongli said lightly with some doting, "Little girl, do you want me to teach you how to do what you want to do?" ”
"Oh." Jiang Yingning reluctantly responded, and watched Ji Zhong leave.
"Ji Gongzi, it is indeed very special to Miss Ying Ning." Lianshui said with a smile in the back, "I heard that you grew up together?" Living in a yard? ”
"Yes." Jiang Yingning nodded, and sat down opposite Lianshui again, "You...... When did you meet your brother? ”
"It's been a long time." Lianshui obviously began to recall, "At that time, I was even older than you are now, about the same as Ji Gongzi, fifteen years old. ”
"Then you ......" Jiang Yingning was a little curious about Lianshui's age.
"I've been in the palace for four years, and this year ...... Nineteen years old. Lianshui is obviously a little different from the tenderness and calmness of age, and the smile on his face has a kind of tranquility that has been precipitated by the years.
At the age of nineteen, she ascended to the position of a noble concubine, and in the absence of an heir, Jiang Yingning could imagine how much Emperor Songde loved Lianshui.
She said with a smile, "It seems that the emperor is very fond of my sister." ”
When Lianshui heard this, he didn't feel a little proud or happy, but snorted coldly, as if he was extremely disdainful of all this.
Jiang Yingning smiled awkwardly, she didn't know if it was her own illusion, she always felt that after Ji Zhongli left, Lianshui didn't seem to want to say anything.
So, she took the initiative to stand up, "Sister Lianshui, in fact, it's okay to meet today, it's just that I've been in the palace for so long, and I have obtained a lot of information in the palace, all of which came from my sister's hands, so I've always been curious about what kind of person my sister is." ”
Hearing this, Lianshui looked at Jiang Yingning and asked lukewarmly, "What kind of person does the master think I am now?" ”
"It's not quite what I imagined." Jiang Yingning smiled and said bluntly, "However, we have a long way to go, and I believe that there will be more opportunities in the future, so that we can get to know each other well." ”
"Yes." Lianshui also stood up, and did not mean to keep Jiang Yingning.
"Then I'll go back first, and if there is any situation in the future, we will contact again." Jiang Yingning said that he was about to walk out.
Lianshui followed behind, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you learned something from Ji Gongzi." ”
"Yes." Jiang Yingning stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "It's my honor, if it weren't for my brother's teaching, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”
Lianshui pulled the corners of his mouth noncommittally, and then asked, "You guys...... Will you really get married? ”
"Huh?" Jiang Yingning hurriedly shook her head, "Of course not, today's matter is to stop my brother for me, and I will ...... with him."
She thought about it for a moment before she continued, "He and I are more like relatives, brother and sister. ”
"I see." Lianshui didn't say anything more, and sent Jiang Yingning to the first floor, where Ji Zhongli was already waiting.
"Talked?" Ji Zhongli was a little surprised, he didn't expect them to come out so soon.
"Well, just talk casually, it's not good to stay here for too long." Jiang Yingning looked at Lianshui with a smile, "We will definitely meet again in the future." ”
However, Lianshui's gaze seemed to have been involuntarily chasing Ji Zhongli, and she nodded a little perfunctorily, "That's what the master said." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Yingning said with special insight, "Leave my brother, I'll wait for you outside first." ”
