Chapter 259 Sorrow in my heart
said that on this day, Ning Xinyi's Cuiyi Palace, which had been deserted for a long time, actually came. And this person is not someone else, it is the emperor. Seeing the emperor, Ning Xinyi's face flashed a few dim colors, and she was immediately well disguised by her, and only said in a low voice: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”
"Yes." The emperor responded in a low voice, looked at Ning Xinyi, and smiled slightly: "I've been worrying about state affairs these days, so I haven't come to see you much." Do you want to think about me? ”
That's true. These days, because Shen Huo didn't agree to ask He Suoyi to go and kiss, the emperor almost turned gray. Now that Shen Huo has agreed, the emperor naturally took the time to come and see Ning Xinyi.
Ning Xinyi also understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only be silent, and thought for a moment before saying, "The concubine naturally misses you too." It's just that the concubine understands that you are busy with official business, so she doesn't dare to disturb. ”
When Ning Xinyi said this, the emperor was really satisfied, and the smile on his face couldn't help but increase a little, nodded deeply, and said, "The time I came here is coincidental, it happens to be about noon." In this case, let's use it with Concubine Ai for lunch today. ”
When the emperor said this, Ning Xinyi naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head again and again, and then let his body come in and ask the emperor to come in, and then Ning Xinyi accompanied the emperor to dinner.
In the process of eating, Ning Xinyi thought about his thoughts, and he kept talking a little. It was only when he saw that the emperor was happy with the meal that he barely suppressed his impulse and thought about it for a while before speaking.
When the emperor didn't come, Ning Xinyi had been thinking about He Suoyi and his relatives, and his mind was full of confusion, not understanding why Shen Huo suddenly agreed.
As a person in the palace, Ning Xinyi also knows a little about the recent news. Among them, He Suoyi, as the person Lin Qingyuan was happy about, made Ning Xinyi pay more attention. This so-called harmony matter, Ning Xinyi originally never took it to heart - He Suoyi and Shen Huo were so affectionate, how could Shen Huo let He Suoyi marry into the Chu State?
Unexpectedly, the development of things was unexpected by Ning Xinyi. Now that the emperor's decree has gone down, there is no room for things to turn around. At the critical juncture, the first thing Ning Xinyi thought of was Lin Qingyuan's face.
To what extent Lin Qingyuan was happy, Ning Xinyi also knew it. Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi couldn't help but think that Lin Qingyuan would definitely be very sad at the moment.
Ning Xinyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after covering his sadness, he asked Xin'er: "Do you know a little about this princess?" It's not as good as this palace to talk about. ”
Xin'er is Ning Xinyi's personal palace maid, hearing this, she frowned slightly, but she didn't think much about it, but just whispered: "Back to the nobleman's words." The slave maid only knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly went to the emperor to say that he agreed to this matter, and the others were not very clear. Xu is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince figured it out himself? Speaking of this, Xin'er also felt that something was wrong, and just asked Ning Xinyi: "Why did the noble person come out to ask about this." ”
"Nothing." Ning Xinyi hurriedly shook his head to hide his panic, "It's just that because the people in the womb are discussing this matter these days, this palace is also a little curious." ”
After saying this, Ning Xinyi lowered his head in disguise, and his long eyelashes drooped down, covering his expression. Looking at Ning Xinyi's expression, although Xin'er was a little puzzled, she just didn't speak.
And after Ning Xinyi lowered his head, he naturally began to think hard about the current situation in his heart. How deep Shen Huo's relationship with He Suoyi is, Ning Xinyi sees it in his eyes. Why is it getting to this point? Why did Shen Huo bear to agree? Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess it. I can only hide all my doubts in my heart and think about them.
It's just that before Ning Xinyi could think of a reason, the emperor came. Ning Xinyi saw the emperor coming, and hurriedly sorted out his mood, just accompanying the emperor to dinner. After the meal, the emperor proposed: "It's rare for me to have so much free today, why don't you play with Concubine Ai for a while?" ”
"Okay." Ning Xinyi responded on his face, but he was thinking quickly in his heart, maybe it was a good opportunity to take the opportunity to ask about the matter. Thinking about it in his heart, Ning Xinyi only smiled on his face, and beckoned someone to prepare the chessboard, and he played against the emperor.
Ning Xinyi's level of play is not bad, the emperor has not played against others for a long time, you come and go, and you actually find a little bit of happiness in chess with your opponent. In addition, Shen Huo's matter was resolved, which was considered a matter of the emperor's heart, and the emperor relaxed, and his face was obviously a little happy.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Ning Xinyi understood that most of the opportunities had come. It's just that she didn't dare to say it in front of her, but cautiously asked what she relied on, and said, "Why is the emperor so happy today?" But something pleasing to the eye. ”
The matter of He Suoyi's marriage into the Chu State is not a secret, so the emperor did not have any intention of concealing it, but only generously admitted: "That's the case." I solved a big deal today. Do you know about the peace with the Chu State? ”
Here it comes. Ning Xinyi's heart tightened, but he just smiled quietly on his face: "So that's the case." The concubine really wants to congratulate the emperor, congratulate the emperor. It's just that this is a matter of kinship, and the concubine body is only half-understood, and she doesn't understand anything else. ”
The emperor is in a really good mood today, hearing Ning Xinyi say this, the emperor is not only angry, but also explained to Ning Xinyi with some interest: "That's the case." Didn't a spy come back a few days ago, and what he said had something to do with it......"
Next, the emperor took the trouble to tell the story in detail, and Ning Xinyi, in order not to miss the details of the period, just listened patiently and did not dare to show his expression.
I don't know how long it took to talk about it, but the emperor finally said the key point: "I can make such a holy decree today, or because the emperor took the initiative to find me, saying that he has figured it out, and he really wants to put his family and country first." From the bottom of my heart, I'm really gratified! ”
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile heartily. Even though Ning Xinyi didn't have any meaning, seeing the emperor smiling, he had to reluctantly pull the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, echoing the emperor.
At the same time, in the bottom of his heart, Ning Xinyi couldn't help but think quickly: What is the current situation? Why did the prince suddenly agree to this matter, could it be that he really figured it out? However, with the character of the prince, he doesn't seem to be a person who can do this.
Naturally, what Ning Xinyi thought about the most was whether Lin Qingyuan would be sad because of this matter at the moment. Every time he thought of this, Ning Xinyi only felt that his heart was as painful as a knife, and he was sad and tight, and he only thought that after the emperor left, he would find an opportunity to go to the Zhuxian Palace to comfort Lin Qingyuan.
However, the emperor's interest today is quite strong, and he has not been tired after playing against Ning Xinyi for a long time. Seeing that the sky had darkened little by little, Ning Xinyi was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only take a deep breath, and then he could barely press it down.
Just when Ning Xinyi was already in a hurry, a person hurriedly came outside, it was the little eunuch who passed the decree. The little eunuch knew that the emperor was in Ning Xinyi at this time, so he ran all the way over.
The emperor saw the little eunuch coming, he was disturbed, and his face couldn't help showing a little hesitation, and he frowned and said, "But what's the matter?" ”
"Back to the emperor." The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Won't it be too ...... after three days Is the day of the marriage of the lord of Heshuo? You have full authority in this matter to the Ministry of Rites. And the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the affairs of the lord of Heshuo and his relatives, and some details still need to be discussed, and he is now in the imperial study, asking to see the emperor. ”
Hearing this, the emperor frowned again, just thinking that He Suoyi's marriage to the Chu State was really important, so he barely suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said: "In this case, I will go to the imperial study and discuss it with the Ministry of Rites." ”
After hearing the news, the little eunuch was naturally overjoyed and nodded again and again. Busy with the emperor went back to the imperial study, and talked to the Ministry of Rites about peace and affection.
Looking at the figure of the emperor gradually moving away, on the surface, Ning Xinyi just said goodbye with a little reluctance in respect, but in his heart he was secretly happy.
The emperor is gone, and she can just take this opportunity to go to Zhuxian Palace, so she can naturally comfort Lin Qingyuan at that time. It's just that the emperor has just left, and Ning Xinyi doesn't dare to act rashly, so he can only press it down and wait quietly for the night to fall.
In the evening, Ning Xinyi was alone, and quietly went to the Zhuxian Palace, ready to comfort Lin Qingyuan. At this time, Lin Qingyuan had just returned from a closed door in the East Palace, and it was a time of great loss. Seeing that Ning Xinyi was coming, Lin Qingyuan only lightly pulled out a wry smile and said, "Ning Guiren, you are here." ”
Lin Qingyuan didn't look at Ning Xinyi, his eyes were still lowered, looking at his feet quietly, a little desolate was revealed.
Although Lin Qingyuan didn't say anything, Ning Xinyi looked at the gloomy look on his face, and naturally understood that Lin Qingyuan was probably not in a good mood at the moment, and he couldn't help but show a little distress on his face, and said in a low voice: "This palace is here, come to accompany you." ”
Saying that, Ning Xinyi took a few steps forward, stood sideways beside Lin Qingyuan, looking at Lin Qingyuan's appearance, he naturally felt a little distressed in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
Hearing this, Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "Thank you for your kindness." Just what's there to accompany you next? It's not early, so Ning Guiren should write back quickly. ”
Ning Xinyi didn't care about the look on Lin Qingyuan's face, he just shook his head firmly, forcibly suppressed his sadness, and said, "The owner of the village doesn't look very good right now. It's better to be like this, this palace accompanies the owner of the village to drink some wine and talk about his heart. The owner can also take this to soothe his mood a little, and the owner said that this is good? ”
