Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance, Section 75
After making sure that he hadn't seen the scene just now, she lowered her head, tried to dial the water, and finally sent the lotus lamp out.
But in this way, the interest is also lost.
The pond shook off the water droplets, got up and walked towards Ning Xun, "It's windy, it's cold." Let's go back. ”
She didn't look back, so she didn't know that the stones on the shore were craggy, and the lotus lantern was pushed by the waves, so she didn't go far before she leaned towards the shore, shook between the stones a few times, and didn't know which corner was stuck, but she actually entered the water and slowly sank.
On the way back, it is better to come out and have a relaxed atmosphere.
Title Chi changed his words and asked him: "Is there a Hu person around His Royal Highness?" ”
The Great Zhou has always been tolerant, and although there are constant wars on the frontier, the faces of the Hu people can still be seen everywhere in Beijing.
"Hu Ren?"
"It's a young woman," she recalled, "and she should be able to do martial arts." A scimitar hung from his waist. ”
She carefully told him the scene she had just seen, and Ning Xun frowned slightly-Ning Mian, as a prince, should not get too close to Hu Ren for any reason.
Seeing that Ning Xun didn't seem to know anything about this person, his voice weakened: "There are many people in Shangyuan Night, and His Royal Highness Xing is only passing by by by chance, so he has some involvement with that person." ”
But the two behaved naturally, even if they weren't acquainted, they didn't look like strangers.
That's it, the four princes are also from Ning Xun's side after all, not to mention that she just caught a glimpse of such a glance by chance, emphasizing it too much, as if she was provoking - she vaguely remembered that in her previous life, until the end, the four princes were still complaining about the East Palace.
"I'll ask." He squeezed her hand and stepped into the East Palace.
The two went back late, Ning Xun excused herself that the cicada clothes should have fallen asleep a long time ago, and if she went back, she would have to toss the cicada clothes to get up and serve, and left her in her bedroom in a few words.
The chichi was cleaned up first, she lay on the inside, with her back to the outside, and when she heard the sound of Ning Xun going to the bed, she simply closed her eyes.
The bed is sunk in from the side. But I didn't hear any more movement for a long time. She couldn't hold back, opened her eyes, and turned slightly—just as she met his sight.
Ning Xun half-supported her body, waiting for her to throw herself into the net.
He was a little amused, and reached out to take her to him, "Didn't you sleep?" ”
"What the hell are you thinking?"
He hesitated for a moment, and asked him in a low voice: "I was thinking that if Your Highness is very affectionate to me, I can't give Your Highness the same ......."
He interrupted her, "I asked if you wanted this?" ”
Ji Chi raised his eyes in a daze, isn't it love and love to grow old together? Could she be wrong about him?
"Your Highness...... What do you want? ”
Ning Xun looked at her deeply, and said word by word: "From the day you think clearly, you can't hide it from me, you can't lie to me." Until then, I can wait. ”
"Or," he chuckled, "if you want to cheat, you'll cheat for the rest of your life." ”
The chichi was silent and was embraced by him.
She heard him sigh, "Don't keep me waiting. ”
After the beginning of spring, Changle gradually came to the East Palace, and when he stayed with the title pool, he was absent-minded from time to time.
After interrogating for a long time, it was easy to ask - before the Spring Festival, she happened to meet a candidate named Ruan Yuanxiu.
Ruan Yuanxiu was born in poverty, and Changle was incognito, only saying that he was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Beijing, and took the opportunity to fund him. After coming and going, they became somewhat familiar.
Ruan Yuanxiu's name is a little impressive.
In the previous life, he was the top student in high school, and since then, his career has been smooth, and in just one year, he has lived in Dali Temple Shaoqing, and he is upright - she knows this person, or because Ning Xun mentioned it from time to time.
Zhichi asked her why she funded this person, but she didn't expect Changle to answer briskly: "Of course I like him." ”
It can be calculated that they have only known each other for two months, and they have less time to meet, not to mention that Ruan Yuanxiu has to concentrate on preparing for the Spring Festival, although the Spring Festival is now released, but there is still a palace test, how much time can he spare to come?
Zhichi was puzzled, and asked her selfishly: "But how do you know that you like him, and not something?" ”
Changle blinked: "He was born good-looking." Eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, lips, and hand ......" Speaking of this, she seemed to regret a little: "I didn't see anything else." But these are all in line with my heart. ”
"Besides, what can be the reason for liking someone? Brother Huang and you are in love, did any of you say it was for what? ”
"I just knew I liked him. When you really like it, you can't fool others, and you can't even fool yourself. ”
You can't even fool yourself.
The title pool lost his mind for a while, and it was not until Changle said that he was going to the academy that he woke up.
In her previous life, she met Changle too late, and I don't know if she had met Ruan Yuanxiu at this time.
But she was pretty sure that Changle had never married before she died.
In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent of a coup d'état by a horse, so there was an unwritten rule in the Great Zhou Dynasty since the beginning of the dynasty that the commander of the horse would not hold an important position in the court.
And Ruan Yuanxiu was already the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at that time.
The author has something to say:
Title: I miss the emotionless Ning Xun in my last life. Just say that you can't fall in love with your work tasks, which affects your work mentality a lot.
Ning Xun (previous life version): ?

Chapter 64
◎ In recent days, she can't listen to the four words of the future. ◎
Changle specially instructed her not to tell Ning Xun about this, saying that she was afraid that something would go wrong during the palace test.
When she mentioned this, she remembered that this should be Ning Xun's first palace test after returning to Beijing from the frontier.
The temple examination was presided over by the saint himself, but according to the custom of the Great Zhou, the prince was also required to participate in it. The last time he returned to the palace was Zhenghe twenty-one years, when Ning Xun had just returned to Beijing with a serious injury, presumably he had never shown up the whole time.
When sending Changle away, the title pool thought about it again and again, and still said one more sentence: "Princess Jinzhi Yuye, there can always be what you like, but you can't wronged yourself." ”
Changle answered, waved at her, and got into the carriage.
Her words were vague, and Changle was very interested in Ruan Yuanxiu, and she didn't know if she could listen to it.
"I can't figure out my own affairs, and I still have the leisure to worry about others?"
Hearing this, he turned around and saw Ning Xun standing not far behind her.
He should have just practiced martial arts, dressed in a light and thin suit, and the sweat on his body had just been wiped over, and the whole person still seemed to be steaming.
He was followed by many palace people, and the title of the pond saluted in a proper manner: "Your Highness." ”
He helped her up, "Accompany Gu to the soup pool." ”
With her there, the palace people consciously retreated.
She is still somewhat afraid of water, especially the memory of the last time she was in the soup pool with Ning Xun is really not very ...... Well, she hasn't been here since.
But it's better to talk here, especially when it's just the two of them.
He didn't dare to go into the water, so he only took off his shoes and sat on the edge of the pool, stepping on the water for a while, "Has Your Highness heard of Ruan Yuanxiu?" ”
"Changle showed me his article. The style of writing is plain, and it is better to have unique insights and be able to hit the nail on the head. He's a malleable talent. ”
The sound of the water gradually approached her, and when he raised his eyes, and when he saw that he was not wearing anything on his upper body in the mist, he immediately retracted his gaze and stared at the splash he stepped on: "Princess Changle told His Highness?" ”
He said "um" and added: "Doesn't she like Ruan Yuanxiu?" ”
Changle obviously specially asked her to keep it secret, she didn't expect him to already know, and she subconsciously looked at him in surprise - Ning Xun was right in front of her, and because she was standing in the pool, she was naturally a little shorter than her.
She lowered her head quickly, he seemed to laugh, and explained: "Changle didn't say it directly, but she couldn't hide things since she was a child, and that little thought was written on her face." ”
"What does Your Highness think?"
"Let's see him try it. If he can't get the first grade, even if Changle has the heart, the emperor will not agree. ”
The title pool hesitated for a moment: "What if you win?" ”
"If you win, as a prince, a person like Ruan Yuanxiu can only get the idle title of a concubine, which is a pity. But as an elder brother, I also wish Changle a smooth life. He sighed, "But it doesn't matter what I think, if I really win, Changle is interested, it depends on what Ruan Yuanxiu thinks." ”
Ning Xun glanced at her deeply, as if he had something to say: "The two are happy, what they want is that they are willing to be willing to each other." ”
The directiveness in his words was too obvious, and Jackie glanced at him unconsciously—she looked down at it, then froze in place.
There was a mist of water constantly steaming up, and her eyes were closed at the touch of a button, so she didn't look carefully.
His upper body was tight and sharp, but he had countless scars—there were a few injuries that could still be glimpsed at the time of the danger. Fortunately, as the years go by, many old injuries have become shallow, and it is not too obvious if you don't look at them carefully.
At this time, the most obvious is the arrow wound in the left shoulder.
He couldn't hold back, and reached over and touched it gently.
The droplets of water on her hand slipped off his shoulder, leaving a trail of water all the way down, and it merged into the water with a "click".
Ning Xun's eyes darkened, slowly grabbed her hand, and suddenly said, "The water is very shallow." ”
She didn't know why she looked at him, and he raised his hand to clasp the back of her neck, pressed her down, and looked up and kissed her.
The hand of the pool was naturally supported on his shoulder, but because he had been bent over, it was inevitable that his back would be sore.
Ning Xun held her waist in time and asked coaxingly, "Come down and try?" ”
After a long time, he took her in his arms and kissed her on the side of the neck: "Ten days later, it will be spring hunting, and I promised you to teach you to ride a horse last year, do you still want to learn?" ”
She glared back at him, "It turns out that His Highness still remembers." ”
Or she went to the suburbs of Beijing with Changle to ride a horse, but accidentally fell down, and he promised at that time. After so long, he didn't mention it, and she had to forget about it.
He laughed, clinging to her chest and vibrating, "Remember. However, there were no good opportunities before, and I couldn't spare time. Then it was cold. It's not good for me to keep you waiting so long. ”
Zhichi turned around, his eyes looking forward to it: "Spring Hunting, does His Highness really want to take me there?" ”
Ning Xun raised his eyebrows, "Don't want to go?" ”
She hesitated: "I want to go." But ......"
"If you want to go, you can go."
Seeing that his attitude was firm, he didn't think much about it anymore and nodded in response.
