4 Chapter IV

Qingyue didn't just arrive in the palace, she knew the rules, but she didn't expect to make such an outrageous mistake.

She hurriedly explained, "This, this is given by the people of the East Palace, I didn't think much about it, how did he give this!" I thought there was another ...... Supa."

"Xu is palace people are wrong." Wen Ning comforted her, but she felt strange in her heart, how could the prince's use be so easy to take out, she frowned and thought for a while, "Is there anything else?" ”

Qingyue said honestly, "The little eunuch in the East Palace is enthusiastic, and when he asked the slave and maid what they lacked, I said it one by one......"

Wen Ning frowned, "Where's the thing?" ”

"I said it would be delivered tomorrow." Qingyue also knew that she was wrong, so she quickly knelt in front of Wen Ning, "Girl, the slave knows her mistake, the slave will return the things tomorrow, and there are other ......"

Wen Ning hurriedly helped her up, and said helplessly, "No more than anywhere else, I am soft-spoken, I can't protect myself, I'm afraid I can't protect you if something happens, you have to be careful." ”

Qingyue nodded hurriedly in response, like a little thrush bird in a low mood, unable to lift it at all, and her mood was all written on her face.

"You are also kind, do this in the future, remember the prophet will say." Wen Ning was originally in a bad mood, but seeing her like this, she wanted to laugh inexplicably, and couldn't help but comfort, "Tomorrow, you accompany me to the East Palace and return the things to thank you." ”

"Yes! Thank you, girl! Qingyue immediately responded, watching Wen Ning carefully dry the veil, for fear of having a wrinkled and cautious appearance, and sighed in her heart that this girl was really a fairy daughter.

- Kind-hearted, good-tempered, but in this palace, such a good person is really easy to be bullied, and if he really marries the Tatar pervert, he will be bullied even harder.

Qingyue thought about the fate of this Wen Ning girl in the future, and she was really a little distressed in her heart, but when she thought of herself, she felt even more distressed...... She is not the one who was bullied, if she sees those things that should not be seen in the future, I am afraid that the end will not be as good as Miss Wen Ning.

She sighed silently in her heart, thinking that Father-in-law Zhang, who arranged for her to come over, was also smart...... Two bullied soft-hearted bags get together, it will definitely not be a storm, and when the time comes, the matter of harmony will be arranged, and it will be done by marrying people directly.

The night is dark, the moon is hanging on the tops, it is after the valley rain, there are some insects in the green grass outside the palace, and some spring vitality can be heard inexplicably.

At this time, the Mansion of Qi was quiet and the atmosphere was gloomy.

In the ancestral hall of the Guogong Mansion, Qi Weiming knelt in white clothes in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, the candlelight of the ancestral hall shone on his handsome face, he hung his head silently, his hair was scattered behind him, and his face seemed to be covered with a faint layer of light gray.

He had been on his knees hungry for two hours, and his eyes had dimmed.

It wasn't long before footsteps were heard behind him.

He remained motionless and continued to kneel.

The door of the ancestral hall slammed shut, and Qi Guogong walked slowly and came to his side.

The little guy who was waiting outside was carrying a lunch box, and when he heard the sound of the door closing, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for Qi Shizi.

- The fiancΓ©e of the childhood sweetheart was taken away by a foreigner, what a shame, and she had to kneel when she returned to the house.

Looking at the posture of Grandpa Guo, I am afraid that he has to serve the family law.

The little guy trembled, but he couldn't help but listen to the movement inside, and always felt that there would be a roar of reprimand and the sound of the prince fighting to resist on the basis of reason, but he waited for a while, and it was quiet inside, and there was no sound at all, as if the two were talking happily inside.

The little guy scratched his head, listening to the insects that sounded from time to time in the grass, and he was a little sleepy.

After a while, suddenly, the door of the ancestral hall opened, and the little maid immediately woke up, and saw that the grandfather of the country turned around and opened the door, and asked him to go in to deliver food to the prince.

The little servant hurriedly did so, opened the food box, the food was still hot, the jade plate was delicacies, and the aroma was fragrant, all of which were specially made for the prince in the small kitchen.

Qi Weiming picked up the jade chopstick, and there was no emotion on his handsome face.

Grandpa Guo looked sideways at the little servant, and ordered in a cold voice, "Early tomorrow morning, when it goes out, Qi Shizi and Grandpa Guo had a big quarrel, was punished, and knelt in the ancestral hall all night hungry." ”

The little guy was shocked, where did he dare to ask more, and quickly responded, "Yes!" ”

Before dawn on the second day, Wen Ning was awakened by a nightmare, and sat up suddenly, her heart beating extremely fast.

In the dream, she was tied with a rope by the fierce and terrifying prince of Bigeler and married, and the wind and sand on the road made people unable to open their eyes, and when she saw the surroundings clearly, what she saw was a battlefield full of the corpses of Beiming soldiers.

In the center of the corpse, there was a white bone dressed in the armor of a soldier, the white bone had hollow eyes, staring at her like an abyss, as if asking, daughter, why did you marry the enemy.

Wen Ning held her heart, panting heavily, her eyes were slightly red, and her heart fluctuated.

After trying his best to clean himself up, Wen Ning's emotions had already been suppressed.

Yesterday, no other palace people cared about her, she had no clothes to change, and she could only wear the same clothes as yesterday today......

Qingyue came over to help her hairpin, looked at the clothes on her body, and sighed softly.

Wen Ning looked at her through the bronze mirror suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's all over the outside." Qingyue said softly, "Girl, don't be sad. ”

"Qi Shizi knelt in the ancestral hall all night last night, I'm afraid he fell out with Grandpa Guo, the matter is quite big, and it has been spread all over the palace!"

It is said that Grandpa Guo wants to find another family for Qi Shizi. Qingyue looked at Wen Ning in the mirror and saw that her watery eyes moved slightly.

Wen Ning didn't say anything, just lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.

"Qi Shizi is a true gentleman of Guangfeng Jiyue, and it is also fortunate that Miss Wen has loved such a good person with all her might." Qingyue sighed.

Wen Ning was silent for a long time, did not answer, and after a while, her voice was a little hoarse, "Go and return the veil." ”

When the two of them came to the gate of this deserted Yongning Palace, they were blocked by the guards outside.

The guard asked her where she was going, and she was calm in her heart, with a little embarrassment, and told her that Qingyue had mistakenly asked for something from the East Palace yesterday, without mentioning the four-clawed golden python.

"It's troublesome to investigate, and we'll come back after we return the things, and we're tired." Wen Ning's tone was soft, his face was anxious, and he stuffed a silver ornament into his hand.

The guard was surprised when he heard this, if it was ordinary, he just stopped the matter, but now the other party is sincere, although the things given are not expensive, he is not easy to stop in front of him.

And the ordinary people in this palace are difficult to fly, and they didn't run away, so the guards sold a favor and spoke.

"Although the boss did not tell the girl not to move around, but the girl has a special identity, don't go far, go and come back quickly, otherwise you can't afford to have an accident."

Wen Ning hurriedly thanked him and took Qingyue to the East Palace.

Qingyue looked surprised, she didn't expect that this Wen Ning girl didn't look like she was eating fireworks in the world, and she was quite good.

Wen Ning stopped and looked at Qingyue.

Qingyue looked at her face to face, "? ”

"Where is the East Palace going?" Wen Ning was a little confused.

The East Palace is also known as Qingning Palace, it is only a wall away from Yongning Palace, but the gate is not close, and it is necessary to go around a few bends.

Qingning Palace was better than she imagined, and Wen Ning was ready to deal with the guards of Qingning Palace like she did with the guards, but before she could speak, the guards glanced at her, asked for her identity, and directly let her in.

Wen Ning was flattered, but Qingyue was not surprised, and whispered in her ear, "It was the same last night." ”

There are palace people leading the two to go inside, all the way only to see carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, but not as rough as the palace as a whole, but some style of Jiangnan gardens.

Walking along the corridor, you can see all kinds of flowers blooming, except for peonies, almost everything.

Thinking of the large peonies in the Imperial Garden, Wen Ning even suspected that all the original flowers in the Imperial Garden had been moved here.

The momentum of this Qingning Palace is enough to see the prince's current status and power.

When I arrived at the place, it was near the pavilion in the garden, and in the distance, I could see the veil of shading the sun dancing in the wind, and a person was sitting in the pavilion, as if drinking tea.

It was also inconvenient for the palace people who led the way to enter, so they only made a sound to the inside.

But after a while, someone inside replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited Miss Wen." ”

Wen Ning's heart tightened, and she gently pinched the handkerchief in her sleeve, letting Qingyue wait here.

She came today, one to return the veil, the second to thank her, and the third to ...... There are other things.

She was also very surprised to see the prince so smoothly, but she was more apprehensive in her heart, because she couldn't figure out Xiao Yunci's attitude, she could only dare to try it again.

It couldn't get any worse.

There is a promenade leading to the pavilion on the water, and the water is shining all the way, and as soon as someone walks on the promenade, the fish in the water will jump and jump, as if waiting for people to feed.

Wen Ning tried to calm herself down, and went all the way to the pavilion in the water, and made a big salute to him outside the veil.

"The courtier Wen Ning has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."

"Excuse me, come in." When he opened his mouth, it was like a heavy sound of pearls and jade colliding, and Xiao Yunci's voice was calm, making people unable to hear joy and anger.

Wen Ning got up and lifted the curtain.

For a while, the wind rose, and she accidentally raised her eyes.

Xiao Yunci was wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, and there seemed to be some dark red flowers on the handkerchief, which was eye-catching.

Wen Ning accidentally looked directly into his cold eyes for no reason, only feeling as if his killing intent had not yet retreated, and there was an indescribable coldness on his body.

Wen Ning only felt that the spring light and pool water in the pavilion seemed to be instantly plated with a layer of faint silver, and the surrounding sunlight seemed to have lost its color, losing its original warmth.

She was startled, and quickly lowered her eyes, standing in front of him cautiously, not daring to look at him again.

At this time, the wind outside suddenly stopped, and the tip of Wen Ning's nose smelled a ...... The smell of blood.

She was suddenly shocked, and after reacting to what he was wiping on the handkerchief, her fingers pinching the four-clawed golden python silk silk trembled slightly, and her eyes unconsciously looked to the side, and sure enough, she saw that there was a residual ...... on the ground nearby It seems to be bloodstains.

He's probably more than just drinking tea...... Wen Ning tried to keep herself calm.

"Sit." Xiao Yunci spoke again and threw the handkerchief on the table casually.

"It's good for the courtiers to stand......" Wen Ning dared to sit down in front of him, she would rather talk to him a few feet away from him.

Xiao Yunci was not reluctant, but he did not speak again.

The pavilion was quiet and windless, Wen Ning was about to break out in a cold sweat, and felt that such a stalemate was not a solution, so he broke the silence and said, "The courtier came today to thank His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Yunci suddenly smiled faintly.

Wen Ning didn't dare to look at him, her heart beat a drum, and then said, "If it wasn't for His Highness's help yesterday, the courtiers would have committed the crime of bullying the king......

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yunci suddenly interrupted her.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've been so angry?"

Wen Ning's voice was choked, and she was a little stunned.

Xiao Yun got up and slowly took two steps towards her.

Wen Ning swallowed her saliva, flustered and couldn't find a clue.

What...... What's the situation?

Xiao Yunci stopped when she was only one step away from her, the scent of jade sandalwood and the faint smell of blood lingered on the tip of her nose, making her face pale and not daring to move.

She seemed to be back to when she was pretending to be stunned before, and if she moved slightly, she could be caught by him......

Xiao Yun looked at her with a smile, "When I was a child, didn't I call my sister very smoothly?" ”
