Chapter 39: Reward
The sky is blue and the rain is gentle.
The light rain fell on the streets and alleys of Shenjing City, washing away the dust floating in the air, making a ticking sound, as if it could sweep away the haze of the previous days.
Accompanied by several palace maids, Ying Xianhui came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion with an umbrella and a food box.
Shen Ning was sitting in the room studying the magic books, and as he said before, he would not relax his cultivation of the magic for a moment.
Seeing Ying Xianhui's arrival, Shen Ning was a little surprised, took the food box, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”
"I heard Uncle Zheng say that you went to Lujiazhuang a few days ago to get rid of demons, and there were many dangers, so I came to see you." Ying Xianhui smiled sweetly, asked the palace maid to wait outside, and walked into Shen Ning's Dao Residence by herself. "Dealing with demons is a matter of life and death, and it is not dangerous or not." Shen Ning opened the food box with a smile, it contained all kinds of pastries, full of color, flavor and flavor, picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "It tastes good, did you buy it in Anle Fang?" ”
"Nothing." Ying Xianhui said shyly: "I did it myself." ”
"Then I have to try it, after all, the pastries made by Her Royal Highness the princess herself, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who have this kind of mouth." Shen Ning chewed carefully, and I had to say that although Ying Xianhui was a princess, her talent in making pastries was really full.
Ying Xianhui sat next to Shen Ning, watching her brother Ning eat the pastries she made herself, her heart was sweet, but looking at the new injury on his face, she was a little distressed, and hesitated for a long time before changing the original words to, "Brother Ning, does the injury on your face still hurt?" ”
Shen Ning subconsciously touched the freshly scarred wound on his face, and said indifferently: "It's just a small injury, don't care." ”
"But I'll be distressed." A hint of worry appeared on Ying Xianhui's delicate face, "Every time Brother Ning goes out to deal with the demon trouble, I will be very worried, I am very scared, Brother Ning will ......." ”
The rest of the words, Ying Xianhui couldn't say anything, Shen Ning saw her worried appearance, and said with relief: "Don't you see that I'm not good now?" Could it be that you don't like me when I'm disfigured? Then you will suffer a big loss, as a cultivator, this scar will not be healed in a long time, and I don't know how many women in Shenjing City will yearn for me. ”
As he spoke, Shen Ning gently scraped the bridge of Ying Xianhui's tall nose.
"Where are people like Brother Ning said." Ying Xianhui covered the bridge of her nose and said angrily: "I'm just worried about you, but Brother Ning is not thinking about other women." ”
Shen Ning was stunned, and a cold figure appeared in his mind, but at this time, he categorically would not admit it, "How come, don't think about it day by day." ”
"Really?" Ying Xianhui approached Shen Ning's eyes, looking as if she had seen a strange emotion in his eyes.
Of course, Shen Ning would not give her this opportunity, seeing that the palace people outside the Dao were guarding, she quietly cast an illusion, so that they could not notice the abnormality inside, and dragged Ying Xianhui into her arms, close to her ear, and said softly: "If you don't believe it, I will find an opportunity to ask Your Majesty for the will of the Tao and marry my princess Pingyang of the Great Jin, and when the time comes, I will be under the care of the Zongren Mansion as a concubine, will you rest assured." ”
"Brother Ning, there are still people outside."
"They can't see it."
Feeling the heat in her ears, Ying Xianhui's face was red, and she shrank in Shen Ning's arms and refused to speak.
Seeing that she looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, Shen Ning leaned close to her red lips and kissed her.
Ying Xian Hui's jade face was hot like fire, the beautiful eyes under the willow leaf's thin eyebrows trembled, the curved eyelashes drooped, and in the middle of Qiong's nose, she couldn't help but let out a greasy snort.
Hongxia was dyed scarlet, Ying Xianhui responded with a green but enthusiastic response, she suddenly realized that most of her clothes had been faded by Shen Ning, revealing her snow-white and tender skin, and she was about to stop the evil hand that was wandering between her white legs, but Shen Ning stopped in advance and sorted out the palace clothes for her.
Ying Xianhui was panting like silk, her eyes were full of anger, and she felt as if there were little ants crawling in her heart.
This delicate and lovely appearance made Shen Ning feel pity. Rubbing her tender listener, I can't put it down.
Ying Xianhui's heart was rubbed, lying on Shen Ning's chest, and said: "Brother Ning, the imperial brother is going to lead the army the day after tomorrow, before coming, the imperial brother asked me to tell you, tomorrow listen to the tide pavilion and the monarch farewell." ”
Shen Ning nodded, the situation in the north of the Great Jin was critical, and according to his judgment, it was indeed the day to go on the expedition in the past few days.
In response to this matter, Shen Ning and Ying Xianhui walked to the palace together.
It's not that he deliberately escorted Ying Xianhui back, but since the demon trouble in Lujiazhuang was pacified, someone in the palace brought Emperor Jing's message, ordering him to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to serve every day in his spare time.
This time period is the only time left for himself in Emperor Jing's busy day.
When he came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Jing was still flipping through the folds in his hand, and Shen Ning stood respectfully aside.
When Emperor Jing put down his hand, the chamberlain on the side put on the chessboard.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of falling words sounded in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
These days, there are not a few chess games played by Shen Ning and Emperor Jing, and the two of them have a rough understanding of their respective chess styles.
Despite this, the game was still scorching, most of the time it was Emperor Jing who won by a slight margin, and Shen Ning would occasionally play a long time to slaughter Emperor Jing's big dragon.
After all, there is no suspense in the chess game, and no one will like it too much.
"You have a lot of credit for the matter of Lujiazhuang, why don't you ask me for a reward." During the chess game, Emperor Jing dropped a son and asked.
Shen Ning's eyes moved slightly, "Eliminating demons and warding off evil spirits is within the purview of the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. How dare the minister ask for merit. ”
"In ancient times, there was a disciple under the saint's sect who was admonished by the saint without asking for anything in return for saving people." Emperor Jing said lightly: "After rewarding and punishing, you can get it, after today, you can go to the royal scripture pavilion to practice magic." ”
"Minister, thank you for your kindness." Shen Ning stood up and thanked him.
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the palace is a collection of the mysturgical methods left by the sages and saints of the past dynasties, if it is not for the great merit of the Sheji, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb the pavilion half a step, you must know that the last person who is qualified to ascend the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is still the current Heavenly Master Li Xuanji of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Now that Shen Ning can browse at will, Emperor Jing's reward is not abundant.
However, with Shen Ning's current merits, he is far from receiving such a reward, and this move inadvertently reveals Emperor Jing's love and expectations for him.
Emperor Jing just mentioned talking about Lujiazhuang.
It reminded Shen Ning of some of his previous doubts, such as the demon mist arranged by the Strange Mountains has dissipated, it stands to reason that the cultist Kul should have abandoned the battlefield with them at this time and fled from Lujiazhuang, why would he continue to entangle with them, so that he was suppressed by Zheng Yang in the Mountains and Rivers Society.
However, thinking that Kuhl had been imprisoned in the heavily guarded Jokhang Temple, Shen Ning temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart.
At the end of the chess game, Shen Ning got up and said goodbye to Emperor Jing, and walked out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.
