Ning Xun didn't make a sound or move, and let her catch it for a while.

Her breathing was much calmer, her brow was no longer tight, her hands were relaxed, and she slept more peacefully.

Ning Xun was just about to withdraw her hand and leave—she sensed his movement, turned over and took his arm into her arms, pressing it under her.

The dance clothes on her body are light and close-fitting, wrapped in cool satin, outlining a delicate figure. The thin layer of material couldn't stop the two of them from exchanging the heat that penetrated into the past, and it heated up when they were sandwiched in the middle.

Ning Xun stiffened suddenly, and looked at her deeply.

Obviously afraid that he would stay at night, but now she is the one who pulls people away.

He didn't hesitate for too long, and when he saw that she refused to let go, he simply turned over and lay down on the couch.

Realizing that the people around him would not leave suddenly, the chime slowly relaxed and found a comfortable position for himself, but he still didn't give up on holding his hand.

The two of them lay on either side of the bed, intentionally or unintentionally leaving a boundary in between, with only one pair of hands connected.

Ning Xun closed his eyes, he planned to sleep here for a while - there was a major event tomorrow, and he had to recuperate.

But after a while, he opened his eyes again, and what caught his eye was the cross-necked mandarin duck embroidered on the bed net.

She had enough charcoal here, and when she stayed for a long time, she felt a wave of heat rushing down on people.

The tightly clasped palms of the two began to get wet.

It's too hot.

Ning Xun was inexplicably a little restless, and he didn't know who picked the pattern, and the layers of bed tents were full of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

There is nowhere to see it.

The bed tent couldn't be seen, and he turned his head to look at the sleeping pool on the other side.

Her bun hadn't been removed yet, and the tassels were twisted around her hair at some point.

Ning Xun looked at it for a while, then raised his hand to take off the step shake from her hair and threw it far to the ground.

Her hair was scattered in his palm, jet black and soft, and it felt good to the hand.

He took her green silk in his hand and twisted it a few times. It's obviously a slightly cool touch, but after playing for a long time, I feel hot.

When the pond woke up, the sky was just showing a hint of fish belly white. When Cicada Yi heard her movements, she hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, and asked her cautiously, "Is the girl unwell?" ”

He reacted for a moment, and then remembered that he had slept next to the smoker last night.

Ning Xun sent her back to the couch?

She glanced down at her clothes—they were neat, and she wasn't uncomfortable.

Only my wrist was a little sore for some reason.

It should be nothing.

But Cicada Yi asked...... Rank Chi looked over: "When did Your Highness leave?" ”

Cicada Yi obviously made a mistake, and hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness is going to the early court, and he left early because he was afraid that the girl would wake up." ”

Although the lips of the two donkeys were not at the horse's mouth, the pond still distinguished from it, he should have stayed last night, and stayed all night, and he had just left earlier this day.

That's it. Although I don't know which tendon he made a mistake, but in short, this is his East Palace, so he can stay if he wants.

"Did Your Highness say anything before leaving?"

Ai Ai looked at her: "Your Highness...... His Royal Highness may not have taken care of it yet, and when His Highness comes back, he will definitely give the girl a name! ”

Zhichi smiled slightly: "Your Highness won't give me any title, I'm just a dancing girl raised in the East Palace, and I am and will be in the future." If you are only waiting for this, it is better to change the master as soon as possible. ”

"How could the girl think that!" Hearing the last sentence, her eyes widened, and she looked incredulous: "Since the slave and maid have followed the girl, naturally everything is for the sake of the girl!" ”

She looked like a loser.

Ji Chi paused and went to take her hand: "Okay, okay, last night was not what you thought." His Highness just wanted to see the dance, so he came here. I only watched the dance at night, there was nothing beside me, and I didn't even get close to His Highness. “

When dancing at the night banquet, she can still use her sleeves to tease intentionally or unintentionally, and dare to jump into his arms with her back to him - not only did she have no extra movements last night, but Ning Xun's appearance of refusing people thousands of miles away is also difficult for people to have the courage to come up.

There's no need to get on it.

"The slave knows that the girl is devoted to Her Highness. Don't worry, your Royal Highness has an interest in the girl, and it's just a matter of time sooner or later. ”

"It's only been two days since the full fight, you can see this?"

Cicada Yi blinked, and gestured with his hand: "Isn't it all written like this in the book, if it's really a fateful pair, one glance is enough, how can it take two days?" What's more, the girl can't hide the eyes of Her Royal Highness, and she can make people crisp into her bones at a glance. ”

Niche chuckled. If she wanted to, she could look at a grass on the side of the road, and she could use such eyes.

It's like she praised herself for acting well.

"And Your Highness......" she lowered her voice, "Your Highness treats people with generosity, but when he looks at the girl, he seems to hate to swallow her alive." ”

As soon as she said this, Zhichi shivered.

She couldn't tell how much Ning Xun still had doubts about herself, but she knew that he was still tempting from time to time.

If Ning Xun found out that she knew that the person in Huguo Temple was him, she would really be eaten alive by him.

She unconsciously touched the faded scar on her neck, and asked for a hot tea from Cicada Yi.

Somehow, maybe it was too hot in the house, and she always felt thirsty.

Especially when Ning Xun is mentioned.

* Li Dexian was anxiously walking back and forth outside the main hall, changing his previous steadyness. He was uneasy, listening to the movement of something smashed inside, his eyelids jumped, he called Xiao Fuzi to come, and commanded in a low voice: "Go and invite the fourth highness and the fifth princess!" Be quick! ”

Xiao Fuzi was just about to run, and he followed up with another order: "Invite Imperial Doctor Li again!" ”

The saint was obviously so angry that he even scolded him, and only the prince was left in it. If you continue like this, won't you hurt the dragon body?

This time, the prince was really too messy. Knowing that it was a forbidden area for the saint, he didn't restrain it - the little thing he did last night had already spread all over the palace through the mouth of the chamberlain who was placed by the saint beside him.

For an hour, Taoyao's music sounded for a whole hour.

Li Dexian shook his head, this time even he didn't dare to say a good word for the prince.

Ning Xun knelt on the ground, indifferently looking straight ahead in the mess of falling and beating on the ground.

He was summoned in, and he had been kneeling for an unknown amount of time, but he saw that the sun was blooming little by little.

Fortunately, he used some sugar steamed cheese a little before he left.

He didn't have much desire for what was in the mouth. It's just that when I was serving dinner this morning, I somehow remembered how she ate sugar steamed cheese last night and dragged on time, and her heart moved, and she suddenly wanted to taste it.

As a result, I just got tired of it.

It's not as sweet and delicious as when she uses it.

"For a full hour, I see that you, the prince, are so idle!"

Ning Xun's tone was not hurried, but his words were sharp: "Does my father think that an hour is too long? It's only an hour, and before the queen mother died, she also waited for her father for an hour. ”

Before he could finish his words, the emperor shouted angrily: "Shut up! ”

Ning Xun rarely angered him again and again like this, and his tone didn't even fluctuate when he heard it: "Father and emperor have forgotten? ”

"The son only misses his deceased mother," he paused, and tried to erase the title as much as possible between his words, "before he played all night." What is the sin? ”

The emperor turned his back to him, he was panting with anger, his hands were stretched out and pressed on the bookcase, as soon as his words fell, the emperor was furious and picked up the ebony pen holder on the side and smashed it towards him!

Ning Xun didn't hide, and let the heavy ebony smash on his forehead. Blood trickled down the side of her face and ran over the face of the first empress.

He didn't speak, he didn't move, he just knelt there quietly.

It was like returning to the rainy night of late autumn that year, when he knelt on the white marble steps in front of the Qianzheng Palace, stubbornly begging his father and emperor to take a look at his mother.

His queen mother was already bad at that time, and she couldn't even recognize people, so when she was a little sober, she took his hand and told him everything, crying blood every word. When he is not awake, he only weeps silently.

He thought that the queen mother wanted to see his father again, even though the two had already been separated at that time.

So he went to his father.

The queen mother waited an hour, and he begged for an hour.

Until she died, she didn't wait for a look.

The emperor was so angry that his hands were trembling, "I told you to shut up!" Unfilial son! ”

Ning Xun looked up at him, the blood on his forehead trickled into his eyes, and when he looked at it like this, a layer of blood was covered in front of him: "The queen mother has never failed her father, but how can my father really deliver trust?" What happened back then, whether the father was too suspicious or not, presumably after so many years, the father also made a judgment in his heart. ”

This is the first time since the queen left that the father and son have touched on this topic.

"Who told you?" Mo Yan slammed on Ning Xun's body, and seeing that he didn't answer, the emperor's chest rose and fell more and more violently, "I asked you who told you?!" What have you heard in the four years of the frontier? ”

After a long time, the sand and gravel in the mussel shell may be ground into a round pearl, but the emperor's eye thorn, after time fermentation, will only become more and more enlarged and sharp, and the slightest touch is a fatal pain, hurting others and hurting oneself.

The situation in the temple became more and more tense, like a full bow, and the arrows could come out of the string at any time.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the temple. The fourth prince Ning Mian and the fifth princess Ning Zhu came back and forth, and knelt outside the hall together. Obviously came to intercede for Ning Xun.

Li Dexian cautiously came in to spread the word, and as soon as the words began, he was scolded by the emperor: "Tell the two of them to go back!" Lee Dexian, watch your head! ”

Li Dexian immediately knelt outside the hall and kowtowed twice, "The slave is a capital crime, but Your Majesty has to put the dragon body first!" ”

The emperor held on to the bookcase and eased up, and the anger in his heart finally subsided after being interrupted like this.

He was still facing away from Ning Xun, obviously not wanting to look at him more.

Seeing that the situation was about to stalemate again, a communication from outside came at the right time: "Lord Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asks to see." ”

The emperor slowly exhaled a breath, as if he was extremely tired, and said to Ning Xun: "You also get out of here." Without my will, I am not allowed to take half a step out of the East Palace. ”

Ning Xun leaned over, kowtowed to his back, and said in a slow tone: "Erchen retreats." ”

Ning Mian and Ning Zhu were still kneeling outside the hall, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ning Xun come out.

The saint's anger was still unsubsided, and several people knew that this was not a good time to speak, so they exchanged glances with each other and said goodbye.

Only Li Dexian was still lying on one side, deliberately avoiding Ning Xun.

Ning Xun also knew that he was the one who should be avoided the most at this time, there were many people outside the hall, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything, so he only bowed his head slightly and walked out.

I didn't take two steps before I bumped into the hurried Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Shangshu hesitated for a moment when he saw the bloody look on Ning Xun's face, but he didn't ask anything, he only saluted Ning Xun and immediately entered the hall.

It's Ning Zhen's person.

At the moment of passing by, Ning Xun evoked a faint smile.
