Chapter 163 Morning to the East Palace
Ning Xinyi slowly straightened up, raised his eyes to meet Lin Qingyuan's puzzled gaze, and smiled lightly. Because Xin'er beside her was loyal, she didn't shy away from it at all, stepped forward, and said straightly: "Owner, it's me." ”
Ning Xinyi saw that Lin Qingyuan didn't answer, and glanced at Xin'er who was standing behind him. After a pause, he finally looked at Lin Qingyuan, his eyes softened, and he said softly: "Thanks to the care of the owner, our family has just done a small business in the city. A few days ago, Xin Yi was selected by His Royal Highness King Wu, and then he entered the palace. ”
Ning Xinyi said as he carefully observed Lin Qingyuan's face, and there was tenderness in his eyes that could not be concealed. After a long time, he continued: "Now she has become the emperor's concubine. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Xinyi felt a little lost in his heart. Lin Qingyuan is as kind to her family as a mountain, not to mention that she has been in Xuanwuzhuang since she was a child, and she has long had feelings for Lin Qingyuan along the way. It's a pity that for the sake of his family, he chose to enter the Wu Palace, and now he has been canonized by the emperor.
Lin Qingyuan listened to her words quietly, his plain face suddenly changed when he heard "His Royal Highness King Wu", and his brows couldn't help frowning, and he only asked rhetorically: "King Wu Gu Zhiheng?" ”
Ning Xinyi didn't care much, but when he saw that Lin Qingyuan's reaction seemed to be a little strong, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. After a while, seeing that Lin Qingyuan only bowed slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Qingyuan's voice came from his ears again, "It's better for you to stay away from King Wu." ”
Just such a simple sentence, but it made Ning Xinyi's heart tremble. For a long time, I didn't know how to respond. Lin Qingyuan's words have a lot of meanings, what kind of character Gu Zhiheng is King Wu, Ning Xinyi naturally knows, but his family is still under the control of King Wu's mansion, and he must not be able to get out at this time......
Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi shook his head slightly, leaving these thoughts behind him and not thinking about it anymore. turned to look up at Lin Qingyuan in front of him, and the scene of Lin Qingyuan and He Suoyi talking and laughing suddenly appeared in his mind.
The silent air was finally broken by Ning Xinyi's slightly dry voice, "The owner of the village knows the crown princess?" Asking this, Ning Xinyi was still a little nervous in his heart. After all, the person in his heart was the person in front of him, but he saw Lin Qingyuan standing with He Suoyi, talking and laughing, but it was very intimate.
Lin Qingyuan was still thinking about it, but when he suddenly heard Ning Xinyi's question, he was slightly stunned at first. Immediately, the figure of He Suoyi appeared in his mind, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look at Ning Xinyi, his eyes looked into the distance, and said: "Don't know, she is a very good woman......
When Lin Qingyuan said this, he didn't notice the change in Ning Xinyi's expression on one side, but recalled in his mind the encounter with He Suoyi and the process of getting to know each other. Just thinking about this makes me feel a warmth in my heart.
Ning Xinyi looked at Lin Qingyuan's face in a daze, and when he saw him so happy, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. The person in front of him is a man he has admired since he was a child. Although he is now in the palace, he is unexpectedly able to meet him again, which really makes people not know whether to be sad or happy.
"Is that so......" Ning Xinyi muttered. Such a lost look was seen by Xin'er behind her, and secretly remembered it in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel some sympathy and distress, after all, Ning Xinyi has always been very good to herself.
Ning Xinyi was stunned, but Lin Qingyuan's light voice suddenly came from her ears, "Xinyi." After coming back to his senses, Ning Xinyi's eyes lit up slightly, and he met Lin Qingyuan's gaze.
I only heard Lin Qingyuan say lightly: "Since you are in the palace, can you take care of Yi'er more." When I first met her, it wasn't very peaceful. Thinking about her as the crown princess, the turmoil around her is naturally indispensable, I am outside the palace, and I have more than enough heart but not enough strength. ”
Ning Xinyi listened with anticipation, but saw what he relied on in every word. "Yi'er" is such an affectionate title, which really makes her a little jealous.
After being stunned for a moment, Ning Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly, "The lives of the Xinyi family are all given by the owner." The owner of the village is pleasing to the people, Xin Yi will do his best to protect it. ”
When Lin Qingyuan heard this, he glanced at Ning Xinyi lightly, and he was also relieved. "You are in the palace now, are your parents okay? If no one takes care of them, I will ask them to take them back to Xuanwu Village. ”
Ning Xinyi was very disappointed in his heart, and suddenly heard Lin Qingyuan's words of concern, his eyes flashed a little light, and he shook his head and said: "The owner of the village is worried, Xinyi's family is very good. ”
After speaking, Ning Xinyi was looking at Lin Qingyuan affectionately, but Xin'er behind her had already taken a step forward and reminded softly: "Noble, the hour is coming, the queen is still waiting, but it's too late to go back." ”
Listening to Xin'er's reminder, Ning Xinyi reacted. The queen said that we would meet in half an hour, and now that half an hour has arrived, it is better not to delay the time.
Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi took a step forward slightly, and blessed Lin Qingyuan slightly, and then whispered: "The queen mother is still waiting, and Xin Yi retired first." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Qingyuan deeply, and when he saw his head, he turned around and walked quickly towards the outside of the bamboo forest.
Xin'er walked quickly behind Ning Xinyi, recalling Fang Cai's events in her mind, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she suppressed these thoughts in her heart. Just thinking about it, he heard Ning Xinyi say: "Do you understand what happened just now?" ”
When Xin'er heard Ning Xinyi's sudden question, she was stunned at first, and her steps were also stunned. immediately reacted, calmed down a little, and said firmly: "Since you entered the palace, it is very good to treat slaves and maids. Slaves and maids must be loyal to the nobles, keep their mouths tight, and never say a word. ”
Ning Xinyi heard that in the past few days, he has also gained some understanding of the palace maid beside him, and knows that she is not a treacherous person, so he is also extremely relieved, "This is good, this palace naturally knows what you are thinking, and it will not treat you badly." ”
In a short time, the two were back at the outskirts of the rendezvous. Seeing the carriage from a distance, he stepped forward quickly, and saw that everyone was there, and he was obviously late, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine has just lost her way in the forest, and she is late." ”
The queen listened to Ning Xinyi's words, and did not answer, but just looked her up and down, and then said lightly: "If you don't come back, the palace will send someone to look for it." ”
After a pause, seeing Ning Xinyi's head, he didn't pursue anything anymore, but raised his hand slightly, "Let's go, it will be too late to go back to the palace later." After that, he got into the carriage with the support of the palace maid.
Bumpy all the way, everyone arrived at Puying Temple, the queen of the palace, the concubines and the crown princess came to pray for blessings, and they set up a full battle. The abbot led everyone to pray for blessings, and after half a day, they returned to the palace.
When I returned to the palace, it was already dusk.
Green smoke wafted from the incense burner, and a faint and elegant aroma permeated the entire hall, but Ning Xinyi was restless, his brows were almost twisted together, and his complexion looked extremely bad.
Xin'er on one side served tea, stepped forward to Ning Xinyi's side, and handed over the teacup. Seeing Ning Xinyi so worried, he was both distressed and a little helpless, not knowing what to do, but just asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why did you come back from Puying Temple, you have been so sad......"
Although she asked so, Xin'er already had some guesses in her heart. Today's trip to Puying Temple, if there is anything special, it is only in front of the waterfall, the owner Lin Qingyuan and what to rely on.
Thinking about it carefully, when she watched Ning Xinyi talking to Na Lin Qingyuan today, the subtle changes in Ning Xinyi's expression had already been seen by her. Ning Xinyi's mind naturally couldn't be hidden, even Lian Xin'er also saw Ning Xinyi's love for Lin Qingyuan clearly.
Ning Xinyi took the teacup handed over by Xin'er, took a sip of tea, and his frowning brows stretched slightly. The sadness on his face did not change, but he sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and said: "You have also seen today's events, and this palace really doesn't know what to do." ”
The meaning of Ning Xinyi's words, Xin'er is naturally extremely clear. These days, Ning Xinyi has always exchanged letters with Wu Wangfu, and he has been by her side all the time, and he has seen her talk and conspire with Gu Zhiheng or He Xiang many times, so he naturally understands.
Until now, I have experienced what I am doing in the suburbs today. Xin'er was even more clear in her heart, what Ning Xinyi was worried about at this moment was just a trade-off between He Suoyi and Wu Wangfu.
Thinking of this, Xin'er's eyes flashed, she looked at Ning Xinyi in front of her, and asked, "What handle does the noble man have in the hands of King Wu, otherwise why do you have to do things for him?" ”
Ning Xinyi listened to Xin'er's question, and was stunned at first. There was a drum in my heart, and I didn't know whether I should talk to Xin'er about all this. After thinking about it for a while, I thought that since Xin'er was completely loyal to her, why didn't he give her complete trust?
Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi no longer planned to hide anything. Straight to meet Xin'er's puzzled gaze, he replied: "This palace was arranged by King Wu to enter the palace. After a pause, there was a bit of loss in his eyes, and he said: "The family members of this palace are still under the control of King Wu's mansion. ”
Hearing this, Xin'er was slightly stunned, thought for a long time, and finally looked at Ning Xinyi's side face, lowered her voice and said: "Since this is the case, Niang Niang must not go against Wu Wangfuming's writings." The slave maid guessed that King Wu had always been at odds with the prince, and now he arranged for his mother to be in the palace, just to deal with the prince, and he had nothing to do with the princess. ”
When Xin'er said this, she stopped and didn't say any more, just quietly looked at Ning Xinyi's face, as if waiting for her response.
