Chapter 14: That's Not Love

The next day, I packed up as usual and came to Gong Nandu's study alone, I felt like I hadn't been here for a long time, there was a layer of dust on the desktop, and it was too exaggerated, I thought to myself, I looked around and found that I forgot to close a window, I had to bring clean water from afar and clean it seriously, and put the official business that Gong Nandui might have to deal with today in an orderly manner, and some account books were hugged over, I looked at it casually, and looked at the jade shop that had been adjusted by myself, I took it out and looked at it, and now the income has obviously risen, almost 3 times higher than the previous profit, it turns out that selling things in ancient times is so simple, the money is really easy to earn, and when the sun rises in the sky, Gong Nandui walked in, "Your shop has now begun to double the profit." "You've seen that? As long as you are there, it will be more profitable. I laughed out loud, "It's nothing big today, let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Okay" I chuckled and followed, but before I left the house, I was stopped by Miss Feng, "See the prince, how did you come here when you came back from the next morning, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time." Who is this? She looked straight at me with an expressionless face, "She is the princess" Gong Nandui also said in a cold tone in the past, "What, how can she be the princess?" Isn't there no princess in the palace at all? She looked at Gong Nandui in astonishment, "Feng Yiyin" "This is Miss Feng, the daughter of General Feng, and now she is a side concubine." Gong Nanwan changed her tone and said to Chi Wan, I was about to say hello, but I saw Feng Yiyin standing there with a black face, "Well, if you have something, I'll go back first, let's go another day." "I just want to get out of here quickly," I don't have to worry about anything, I'll take you there." Gong Nanwan said with some eagerness, "Shouldn't you give an explanation to the concubine, my lord?" Feng Yiyin called domineeringly, this is the first time I've heard someone be so aggressive towards Gong Nan, is this because of the illustrious family background, but the Luotong family doesn't seem to be bad, "You don't need to know so much, if you get what you want, stay honestly in the palace." Gong Nandui warned expressionlessly, and Feng Yiyin stopped talking hatefully and glared at me angrily. Let's go. Gong Nan took my hand and walked forward,

Before I could react, I was dragged by something, and then the palm of my hand did not have this temperature, so fast that I felt that there was no sense of reality, "Lord, we just got married, why do you treat me like this, I can not ask about her and treat it as if I don't know, but you have to accompany me today." Feng Yiyin said stubbornly and coquettishly, "Presumptuous, do you have the final say on who this king wants to accompany?" "Do you like her so much, then why don't you disclose her identity in the world" "Naturally, it will be announced, take your master back and don't be embarrassed here" Feng Yiyin was quickly pulled away by her maid, leaving her with a look of unwillingness. I didn't dare to think about Gong Nandui's words, I was silent all the way, and Gong Nandui actually took me to the horse farm, "Do you want to get up the horse?" I asked, and as he got on his horse, he asked, "Will you ride?" I asked Adu to bring a relatively docile horse, stroked its forehead and jumped on the horse, shook the whip with moderate strength, and immediately gave the command to "drive" the horse and galloped out obediently, I sat on the horse free and happy, I haven't been so presumptuous for a long time,

I happily waved the horsewhip and ran with the horse, happy like a bird, I chased after Gong Nandu, and soon went hand in hand with him, "Yo, you can also ride a horse" "Hmph, I have learned it before, and I often ride." I looked at him proudly and said, Gong Nanwan smiled lightly and returned, "Come, let's compare." "Oh yo" Gong Nan Du began to speed up to surpass me, I looked at him with a smug smile how can I give you a chance. Without showing weakness and whipping the horse to follow, at the turn of the corner to kick the horse's belly to overtake Gong Nandui, he saw this and whipped hard to chase, all the way no one was outdone to rush forward, I sat on the back of the horse unscrupulously at Gong Nandui hearty smile, in the end can not tell the winner, the two are comparable, after a game, I still can't get enough of jumping off the horse's back, my face is too excited and happy and red fluttering, I haven't let go of it for a long time, Gong Nandui also let go of his usual appearance, and took off his coat in front of me, The extra kaftan on his clothes was wrapped around his waist, and he looked at me with admiration and said, "I'll do another game later." ”

"No problem." I smiled heartily. Rest for a while Gong Nan Du called Adu as a referee, start a new round of competition, we both got on the horse at the same time and waited for the order, Adu started, we quickly waved a long whip and walked away, leaving only a layer of smoke and dust behind, along the way sometimes I chased in front of him and sometimes he threw me off a lot, gradually I was a little exhausted, because the wind inhaled too quickly was too loud and the throat began to be uncomfortable, so it gradually eased down, so Gong Nan Du took advantage of the loophole, I lost a game "The person who loses will punish himself for brewing a good bar." Gong Nandui said proudly, "No problem, come again." I happily replied. As he spoke, he took advantage of Gong Nandu's uncaring moment to get on his horse and gallop out, "She actually cheated?" Gong Nandui jumped on the horse and chased out, "Let's race a few more laps today, it's rare to be so happy" Gong Nandui quickly caught up with me and asked, "It's going to be lunch time in a while," "I'm afraid that I'll have some fun and go back to eat together" To be honest, it seems that I've never eaten alone with Gong Nandui, and it feels quite awkward and I don't know what to say in response, but I do obviously have some resistance in my heart.

In the end, I covered up the past with silence, Gong Nandui saw that I didn't answer and didn't ask again, the two of them just sympathized with each other and went together, and after a circle, I still ran over and drank water, "Are you still coming?" "Let's go outside the field" I smiled and watched him "go" His dashing wave of his big arms, amused me and Adu, it is really rare to see him like this, usually a cold look that no one wants to get close, jump on the horse and wander leisurely with him on the road outside, on both sides are yellowed and mixed with little green grass and trees, this moment actually makes me a little yearning. "What do you want" The cool voice came, I looked back at Gong Nan in a daze, "It's so free, it's very relaxing." Gong Nandui looked at me and smiled but didn't speak. "Lord Wang, just now someone sent a message to Niangniang to let you enter the palace." Adu reminded, "Do you want to ride back?" "But I don't know the road, I usually take a carriage" "Stupid, I'll take you away" "Don't you want to enter the palace?" ”

"I'll go back to the palace to get some things first, and I'll take you back by the way" "Okay," I sat on the back of the horse and shook my body happily. Along the way, Gong Nandui walked with me unhurriedly, and when I arrived on the long street, I was embarrassed by the people around me, Gong Nandui seemed to see through me and said, "What do you usually do when you are not on duty?" Just read a book and plant some flowers and plants you like, or you will sleep" "Then I'll take you out to play more." "Really? That's great, otherwise it's boring," "Why don't you talk to Luotong more?" "After all, I can't get out of the door of this big mansion, what is there to play" "Hahahaha" Gong Nandui laughed out loud when she heard me say this, and before she knew it, she arrived at the gate of the palace, and Gong Nandui and I got off the horse one after another, "You go back to the backyard first, I want to go to the front hall to get some things." "Well, okay" I handed the horse rope to Xiao Si and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, but Gong Nandui behind me got on the horse and walked away directly after seeing Chi Wan enter the house.

I was in a good mood and walked lightly, I just looked down and smirked, and I didn't notice that someone was standing there in front of the road, "The concubine asked the princess to say goodbye", "Huh? I was stunned, and said in a panic, "Don't be polite, get up", "Hehehe", only to hear a chuckle, Feng Yiyin continued: "The princess is really decent," I only looked at her silently and didn't speak, "The prince really thinks about you all the time, "In this palace, the prince is fair to everyone", "Oh? Is it that sister, how can I see that the prince is only with you? "The prince needs my help when he goes out today, so I am fortunate to go out together, don't think too much about it, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to lunch first." Without waiting for her to open her mouth, I took a detour and walked away, Feng Yiyin looked at her back and secretly made up her mind: "See how long you can be proud, I will definitely find out what is going on." ”

Xu is tired from riding a horse in the morning, after lunch, my eyes are fighting, I really can't hold on, so I decided to lie down and rest for a while, thinking that anyway, Gong Nandui was also called into the palace, then it will definitely not come back so early, it's okay, just sleep, Gong Nandui came back when the sun was about to set in the west, Mo Yi told me that the prince invited everyone to set up a family banquet tonight, "Today is not an important festival, and there is nothing big, why do you want to set up a family banquet?" "The slave doesn't know, anyway, Miss, you also go over, and you won't know at night." "It's really troublesome, this kind of family banquet where a bunch of people get together is not to really eat, it's all for bickering." "Miss, you must pay attention to what you say at the family banquet in the evening." Mo Yi looked at me with some fear, "You can go with me at night", "That's okay," Mo Yi smiled happily. When it was time for dinner, Moyi and I walked towards the courtyard as usual.

I didn't expect everyone to go quite early, basically sat down, at a glance it was really purple and red, all of them were carefully dressed like early spring flowers, delicate and presumptuous. A faint smile flashed across my face, "The concubines ask the prince for peace" Suddenly everyone stood up, I immediately turned around and saw him and Luotong walking together, I smiled and watched them lean down gently, "Get up, you don't have to be restrained at today's family banquet." Gong Nan said coldly, "Thank you, Wangye", when you heard the prince say this, everyone got up and sat down again: "Later, you will sit with Luotong." Gong Nan said warmly, I nodded lightly and walked over with him, I, Luo Tong was still sitting next to him as before, Feng Yiyin arrived a few minutes later than us, "The princess and concubine are a little late, and please don't blame the prince." "There is no need for so much etiquette at the family banquet, go and sit." Gong Nan looked at Feng Yiyin meaningfully, "Yes, the concubine thanked the prince." Feng Yiyin's position was at the front of them in the early snow, arranged in order of rank, and after everyone sat down and settled, Gong Nan said, "Today is not a big festival, and the family banquet is set up because the king is going out for a few days.

I just received the order, I will leave tomorrow to go to the outside of the Saiwai with the imperial brother, and deal with some things by the way, this time I have been going for about half a month" "So anxious? Chu Xue said anxiously, "Yes, I can't see the prince for half a month, the concubine will miss you very much, I heard that the perennial wind is strong all year round, and this period is cold and abnormal, you must pay more attention to your body when you go." Shu Yan stared at the prince and said with concern, although these people are all restless, but their concern for Gong Nandui is indeed real, they may all rely on this one person to live their lives, I looked at them a little stunned, "Lord, the emperor has always brought his favorite concubines when he goes out of the palace to play, and the courtiers can also bring their own concubines, can the prince bring someone with him this year?" Feng Yiyin asked proudly, "This king is about to tell you this, this year, the royal brother still has important things to talk about with the outside of the Saiwai, so it is inconvenient to bring many female dependents, in order not to show off, this year Luotong and Feng Bian Concubine will go together, and the queen mother also means this." "The concubine thanked the prince."

As soon as Gong Nandu's words fell, the two of them got up and saluted, "Excuse me" Gong Nandui gently helped Luotong, I tilted my head slightly and looked at Luotong and smiled, for a while, the faces of the people under the table were colorful, but they couldn't escape the sadness of loneliness, "Congratulations to the two side concubines" Everyone raised their glasses together and said, and they also took in the emotions. "Excuse me, everyone, please take care of yourself." Luotong said lightly, "Let's eat, today I specially made a taste of umami is hunting rabbits, don't miss it, I heard that the meat of this hare is also very fresh, and it has been fishy, let's try it" Gong Nandui said happily. "Yes, the prince is most sympathetic to us, thinking about us, especially the princess, who is even more worried about the princess, the princess Niangniang, you want to eat more rabbit meat tonight." Feng Yiyin looked at me with an interesting face, "Then" Before he finished speaking, he heard Gong Nandui's somewhat unhappy voice: "Eat your meal well, it will be cold in a while, the princess's body is not very good, this time the journey outside the plug is bumpy, the weather is cold, after all, it is not as good as the palace, this is not the same as this king, during my absence in this mansion, no one is allowed to disturb the princess Niangniang's cultivation, and everything will be said when the king comes back." ”

"Yes, the concubines must keep it in mind." When Feng Yiyin heard the words of the prince, his face was a little unbearable, so he stopped talking and bowed his head to eat. I quietly looked at Gong Nandu, "Eat more, and come back and take you out to play." He whispered "Okay" I smiled innocently, after saying that we all tilted our heads to look at Luotong, she smirked heartily at us, everyone whispered to each other during the banquet, occasionally hypocritically toasted each other with a glass of wine, watching them feel really tired and simply eat their own food silently without looking, this rabbit meat is really made special and not worse than the taste we make in modern times, the color and flavor are complete, and with spicy taste, it turns out that the ancient people are also very smart, I eat with relish, "This is also delicious, And that you can taste both. Gong Nandui reminded on the side, "It's late at night, you better be less greedy." Luo Tong looked at me and said, "How uncomfortable it is to not eat enough and sleep." "Hahahaha," they chuckled. But she is still thin after eating like this, as if the palace has treated her badly. Gong Nan said dissatisfiedly, "It's okay to be healthy, I still envy her for not being fat" Luo Tong looked me up and down, "You said as if you were very fat" I said with meat in my mouth, "The princess is really appetizing, everyone is very appetizing." ”

Feng Yiyin looked at me with a look of disdain, "The chefs of the palace are naturally good, does Concubine Feng think that these meals are not suitable for your appetite and have no appetite, or are she not suitable for the food of the palace and think that they are not as good as the chefs of your own family in the military mansion?" I pretended to be innocent and asked, "The princess said with a smile, how could the concubine feel bad, it's just that I ate too much game just now, and I blame myself for my small appetite, so you misunderstood." "This kind of family banquet has never been eaten smoothly, I rolled my eyes, threw down the chopsticks, and said sadly, "That's also very envious of my sister, my appetite is so small, but it doesn't show that I'm thin, but it's much more round and plump than me" As soon as the words fell, someone laughed out loud during the banquet, Feng Yiyin's face turned red and didn't speak again, "It's late at night, everyone eats and disperses, and Concubine Feng will go back in advance to clean up tomorrow's salute." Gong Nan lazily ordered, "Yes, the concubine will go back, and the concubine will retire." Feng Yiyin left in a hurry with an embarrassed face, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and they all slowly dispersed, "Have you eaten well?" Gong Nandui asked me quietly, "Almost, okay." "I'm waiting for you for a while if I'm not full, don't worry."

"Flutter," Luo Tong couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Gong Nandui say this, "I can't take you with me this time." I tilted my head and looked at him quietly, I didn't know what to answer, my heart was both empty and confused, Luo Tong looked at me who hadn't spoken for a long time, and called softly, "Chi Wan," I came back to my senses, the air calmed down for a long time, and Gong Nan Du said gently, "Come back, I will definitely bring you some fun and delicious food." "Okay, it's getting late, you can go back and rest with Luotong, and you have to leave early tomorrow morning." I said in a brisk tone, "Well, tomorrow we're going to leave at dawn, and they're all going to get up to see them off, and I know you can't get up, so don't go." Gong Nan said anxiously, "During my absence, if you need anything to go to my courtyard to find my girl, I have ordered it to be called by you." Luotong also instructed, "I know well, I'll go first." I said yes with a smile in my mouth.

Out of the door and Mo Yi slowly walked on the way back, my heart was a little astringent, and I didn't understand why, I always felt empty, but thinking about his attitude towards him, there was a faint sense of joy. His shadow always lingers in my mind. "Miss, you like the prince," Mo Yi suddenly said firmly, I heard the voice and looked back at her speechlessly, and then reluctantly vetoed, "I don't like it." "You and the prince are originally husband and wife, and there is nothing to be shy about admitting it, although you don't have a husband and wife now, it will definitely happen sooner or later." "What kind of husband and wife are we, at most we are a master and servant, don't say it anymore." I whispered nervously. When I thought of the four words that Mo Yi said about the truth of husband and wife, the little joy in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and I couldn't imagine that picture for a while, it seems that I don't like Gong Nandu. Mo Yi looked at me, shook his head helplessly, and didn't speak again. I just stepped into the yard and didn't sit down when I heard a knock on the door, who could it be so late? "Didn't the prince order that no one should disturb the young lady?" Moyi asked, "Go open the door and have a look." ”

"Yes" Mo Yi quickly walked out, opened the door and saw that it was Adu beside him, I could only faintly hear their voices inside, and after a while, I heard the sound of Mo Yi closing the door and walked in. "What's the matter, so late?" "Miss, it's Adu, he came to send a message to the prince that during his absence, Miss, if you are bored, you can be allowed to enter and leave the study at will, and this is the prince's own pair of cards left for you, if you want to go out, you can take this out of the house at will. There are also four guards secretly left by the prince to protect you in secret. "Huh?" I looked at the pair in amazement. "Miss, I found that the prince is really getting more and more interested in you, very unusual," "He, is he afraid that I will lose it?" I was speechless. "Miss, you are really different from before, even this mind is not as delicate as before, the prince is protecting you, have you forgotten how terrible it is in this deep mansion and eunuch compound, how many outrageous struggles in the nest,

When the prince is in the mansion, you rarely have the opportunity to be alone with those concubines, and you can always be under the nose of the prince, and there will not be much danger, and now the prince is not in the mansion, he also thought of this, so he sealed your courtyard to prevent anyone from approaching you, and also left people to protect you, the prince is really thoughtful and well-intentioned. Moyi patiently explained to me. Oh, don't go to bed early. I thought about it for a moment and whispered. After Mo Yi left, I was left alone in this dark space with my eyes open, "Gong Nandui, do you like me?" Can you like me, like me, why can't you tell me? Forget it, what if you can like it, I'm the daughter of a sinner, I still have Jiang Kan to love, if I don't leave, what will happen to me? ”
