Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 42
"When you're tired, go lie down."
Ning Xun was right behind her, reaching out to put the pen back. She turned decisively, fell limply into his arms, and then raised her hand to hook his neck, kissing him on the chin before he could react.
"Your Highness. Has Your Highness ever had dinner? The freshly boiled soup in the kitchenette was delicious......"
Excessive diligence.
Ning Xun put down the pen, did not hug her back, and even interrupted her chatter with words: "I have used it." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was still looking at him with shiny eyes suddenly lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand around his neck hesitated to put it down.
It's like being wronged.
Ning Xun closed his eyes.
The next moment, he still reached out and clasped her waist, and with the other hand went around her knee, picked her up, and sent her back to the couch himself.
"If you don't get better, lie down more."
Although his movements were soft, his expression was cold for no reason, and he was quite self-aware, watching him turn away, and did not reach out to leave him here for the night.
It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared in front of her that she slowly exhaled a breath.
Tut. Ning Xun was not small in her suspicions.
But the good thing is that it's manageable.
As long as she doesn't reveal herself, he can't find any evidence on the side. Without evidence, he could only suspect this, and after a long time, it slowly faded away.
Not to mention, there are benefits to this.
Ning Xun's suspicions were so obvious, the Chi family and Shen Che would definitely not ask her to do anything again these days, she could save a lot of trouble.
Since that day, Ning Xun has come less. I often come once every two or three days, and I stay for a short time, let alone overnight.
It's like a special trip to teach her to read and write.
In other words, to find fault with her - especially when she is reading, she has to keep in mind which words have been taught, which ones she "knows" and which words she "does not know".
After coming and going, she now has a headache when she sees a book.
Now even if you want to keep him for a meal, you have to find a good excuse to keep him again and again.
She felt exhausted after reading in front of Ning Xun, how could she still have the heart to deal with him again, so she simply didn't stay.
Left is nothing more than a wait. The Chi family must be more anxious than her now - Ning Xun has no doubts about her, she is a waste chess, they have just tasted the sweetness, and they are reluctant to let go now.
The Chi family is bound to find a way to help her completely clear her suspicion, so she is happy to sit back and enjoy the results.
What's more, after more than a month, I have regained a little bit of the rhythm of getting along in my previous life.
- except that the cicada's clothes grinded her ears calloused.
So she began to go to the study from time to time.
I don't know when the spring will be deep, the flowers have fallen to the ground, the palace people have not had time to clean up, and the pond has walked all the way over, stained with magnolia incense.
Cicada Yi took a lot of effort to dress her up today, went to complex accessories, only wore a jade bracelet on her wrist, and her hair was only loosely pulled up with a hosta, which was pure and beautiful, but people couldn't take their eyes off. It is a food box in the hand, adding a bit of fireworks, so as not to look cold and alienated.
The title pool did not have the privilege of not having to pass the message, so he obediently stood outside the study and waited for his father-in-law to go in and pass the pass.
On weekdays, I won't wait too long, at most it's a cup of tea.
But today it seems to be a little different.
As soon as she walked over, she heard movement in the studyβin addition to Ning Xun, there were other people inside.
Huaihe's father-in-law returned the salute to her, "The fifth princess is inside, the girl might as well go back first and come back later." β
The fifth princess Ning Zhu, named Changle, she knows - Ning Zhu is not an exaggeration to say that she is the saint's favorite child, she is very well protected, she has never seen the bloody pickles in the palace, and her temperament is inevitably simple and straightforward.
Because of this, even though she has always been close to the crown prince, the second prince and others have never felt sorry for her.
In the previous life, the fifth princess and the title pool also had some friendship, but the two met later, a year before the fire in the East Palace.
At that time, the situation was much more complicated than it is now, with power and power, and everyone was busy, busy with life and death. So they really don't have much time to get along, because the relationship is not bad, but it's not very good.
Zhichi stood still, "My father-in-law doesn't have to go in to pass the news, I'll just wait outside." β
Huaihe didn't stop her, so she waited outside the door for half an hour.
Until Ning Zhu stepped out of the study.
Hearing the sound, the spring breeze was soft, and the wind lifted her tulle dress, giving birth to a bit of ethereal feeling out of thin air.
Ning Zhu was a little distracted for a while.
The rank pool saluted according to the rules: "The rank pool has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changle. β
Ning Zhu didn't think about it, turned his head to Ning Xun and said, "Brother Huang, you just said that I should pick whatever I want to take away, it should still count, right?" β
Ning Xun glanced at her line of sight, his expression was as usual: "No." β
She immediately grabbed Ning Xun's sleeve: "Good imperial brother, brother prince, Changle begs you, you have enough people in the East Palace, what if there is one less, I just lack a female official there......"
The next moment, she looked at her good royal brother and stroked her hand expressionlessly, walked towards the beauty she liked at a glance, and grabbed her waist in front of people very naturally: "How long have you been waiting?" β
"Not long after, just here." Ning Xun's sudden intimacy in front of the fifth princess made the title pool a little uncomfortable, and she quietly stepped back a little, and only stopped retreating when she noticed that his hand that was originally empty around her suddenly clinged to her.
Ning Xun shook her hand as if no one was around: "Your hands are cold, and you won't be able to say it soon?" β
Ning Zhu's eyes widened, remembering the rumors outside, looking at Ning Xun, and then at the chichi, and then slowly matching her with the dancing girl who danced Taoyao on the day of the night banquet.
At that moment, what she thought turned out to be - Se Ling Zhi was dizzy, and it was not completely unreasonable.
The little hostility that arose because of the thought of Tao Yao, and the moment he saw that he was still carrying the food box in his hand, he also dispersed.
- After waiting outside for so long, I have never been pampered and arrogant, and ordered someone to go in and spread the word. What's more, when she came this time, she bumped into her to deliver food, which must have been the case on weekdays.
That's fine. It is time for her royal brother to have someone who knows cold and hot.
She's not good at snatching love with a knife - but since she can't take it away, it shouldn't be a problem to come often to nourish her eyes, right?
She was just about to show her generosity to Ning Xun, when she saw him take the food box with one hand and ordered: "Huaihe, send Changle out." β
The author has something to say:
Tiechi: Our acting school focuses on a sense of belief. I don't need the other party to take over the play, as long as I'm here, there is no possibility of the play falling to the ground! (Swearing)
Ning Xun: I want to see my wife. But at this time, I'm going to have to pretend that outsiders are suspicious of her. Gotta find a reason. Okay, teach her to read.
In the eyes of the chi: It's been three days, come and check the homework, have you copied the book, are you writing the wrong words, and you can go to prison if you write it wrong.
Ning Xun actually: It's finally been three days! Wife, I'm coming!!
End of study.
Rank: Your Highness will stay and eat.
Ning Xun: No, you don't have to. (Because I can't be too close, I'm waiting for my wife to find an excuse to keep it again, so I agreed)
Title: Congratulations to Your Highness.
Ning Xun:.

Chapter 37
βThe bitter meat meter is really tried and tested for Ning Xun. β
As soon as the fifth princess walked away angrily, Ning Xun let go of her hand, and handed the food box in her hand to the palace people on the side.
For the rest of the month, he was very cold, and he was used to it, so he took a step back, "It's starting to get hot, I'm afraid that Your Highness won't have an appetite, The small kitchen cooked appetizing porridge." β
She paused, and specially added: "I have tasted it for His Highness, and it tastes very good." β
Her original intention was to reassure Ning Xun, but his attention was obviously not here, he only glanced at the distance she retreated, and suddenly asked her, "Have you eaten?" β
Zhichi remembered what Cicada Yi had instructed when she sent her out today: "It's not a way for the girl to go up every day, you still have to advance and retreat." β
So she nodded, smiling gently and detachedly: "If His Highness doesn't have an order, the title will retire first." β
Ning Xun was silent, and only said "um" for a while.
When Huaihe returned from sending Changle back, the prince was eating. He stepped forward to replace the chamberlain who was serving the prince's cloth, and at a glance he saw the red sandalwood food box on the table.
His Highness seems to have a bad appetite today, and he stopped eating early.
He has followed His Highness for so many years, and when he saw that although the food box was not opened, he did not ask anyone to take it down, and he knew it in his heart.
Huaihe tried the poison with a silver needle, and changed another bowl to serve the porridge, and did not use the white jade spoon in the food box. After confirming that it was correct, it was brought to Ning Xun's hand: "Miss Song specially sent it, Your Highness may wish to taste it." β
Ning Xun was worried about the government affairs in the study that was interrupted because Changle came over, and was about to get up, Listening to Huaihe's words, she looked at him earnestly and said that it tasted very good.
Eventually, I took it.
Since that day, Princess Changle has come over from time to time, and sometimes even sent someone to inform Ning Xun once, and then directly abducted the title pool.
- She is bored in the palace, Xining, the only one of the same age, has never dealt with her, and the female officials around her are all personally checked by her father, old-fashioned and serious. It's rare to meet someone who looks like her everywhere, and can play with her every day, so she is reluctant to let go.
Ning Xun knew that his second brother's goal was only this East Palace, and he wouldn't do anything to Changle, so he didn't stop her if she wanted to take the title pool out.
Until that day, Changle borrowed people and returned them back.
The person who was fine when she went out, but when she came back, she was bruised, and when she went to pick her up, she didn't know where to help her.
I went to the suburbs of Beijing to ride a horse and fell down.
After all, he had to teach someone to ride a horse, and he accidentally startled the horse, causing her to fall off the horse.
I didn't think that the imperial doctor didn't wait, but waited for her royal brother first.
Ning Xun walked to the couch with a calm face, ignored Changle on the side of the couch, and pressed the rank pool to get up and salute: "Where does it hurt?" β
"It's not painful, but the princess is too nervous to fight such a big battle."
The bruise on her shoulder was obvious, and Ning Xun's face became more and more gloomy.
