Fingers of crossing

There was a smile in Yan Yilan's eyes, her phoenix eyes were looking forward, and the corners of her lips curled up like poppies blooming everywhere in spring, beautiful and dangerous.

Jiang Ning didn't move, she just stood silently, looked at Yan Yilan with cold eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Dare to ask the eldest princess, where is the little son?"

"I'm calling you here."

It is already impossible to pretend not to hear, Jiang Ningzui was silent for a moment, although she was unwilling in every way, she could only walk over according to Yan Yilan's order.She walked up to Yan Yilan, let Yan Yilan examine herself with her head propped up, and finally heard her snort and chuckle.

"You are so smart, you might as well guess whether this palace will hand over the little prince to you."

Jiang Ningzui's gaze has been past Yan Yilan, and landed on the carved red sandalwood screen behind her. Hearing this, her eyes unconsciously looked at Yan Yilan, and finally said lightly: "You can't."

Seemingly satisfied with Jiang Ningzui's answer, Yan Yilan smiled even more charmingly, not forgetting to comment: "It's not too stupid."

"What do you want?" Jiang Ning had expected before she came drunk that Yan Yilan was not a kind person, on the contrary, her thoughts and means were perhaps more vicious than anyone else.Since Yan Yilan made up her mind to let her come to pick up Xiao Shizi back home, of course it was not just a whim decision, there must be other purposes hidden in it.Thinking about it, Jiang Ning's drunken voice became even colder, and she asked, "Why are you willing to hand over the little prince to me?"

Talking to a smart person has many advantages, such as a little reminder about everything, and she can fully understand it.Yan Yilan smiled inexplicably, she just pointed at the tea table, and calmly said: "I'm a little thirsty."

"..." Jiang Ningzui remained silent. She looked at Yan Yilan coldly for a while, then turned around and poured half a cup of tea for her according to her words. Do you know these silly tricks?"

Yan Yilan just lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, when she heard Jiang Ningzui's light mockery, she suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Ningzui, Jiang Ningzui didn't expect it, she staggered forward, crooked It fell on Yan Yilan's body.

The world in front of her was turned upside down in an instant, and when Jiang Ningzui wanted to get up in embarrassment, she found that Yan Yilan was already half-laying on her body, and the openworked purple gold seat could hardly accommodate the two of them, and the futile struggle would only make her They were getting closer and closer.

Jiang Ningzui couldn't move for a while, she turned her head and saw that Persian cat was squinting and looking at her lazily on the coffee table in front of her.She wagged her tail once and for all, looking at her like she was looking at an idiot, and finally felt that she was extremely stupid, so she gave a soft and charming cry, lowered her head and licked her paws, and looked at her a little None of them are interested.

Suddenly, Jiang Ningzui smelled a burst of fragrance. Jiang Ningzui turned her head and saw Yan Yilan approaching her suddenly, her sight was forced to be filled with her coquettish appearance. Jiang Ningzui frowned, and heard Yan Yilan approaching her. There was a light smile in his ears, exuding a different kind of charm and style.

"You might as well guess again, what else is there in you that deserves to be handed over to me?"

Almost subconsciously, Jiang Ningzui stretched out her hand to gather her skirt, a layer of deep vigilance appeared in her eyes, her gaze became colder as she looked at Yan Yilan, and said, "I don't know."

It's a pity that although Jiang Ningzui said so, the meaning in her eyes couldn't be more obvious. Yan Yilan seemed to have heard a big joke, and couldn't help but curl her lips, jokingly said: "Do you think this palace will treat you well?" Interested?" The tone and expression seemed to be laughing at Jiang Ningzui's self-importance, full of teasing. "Where do you get this ridiculous conjecture?"

"Whether it's my guess or the truth, the eldest princess knows it well." Jiang Ningzui said, as if thinking of something, her eyes, which had been calm and calm all the time, moved slightly, and the bottom of her eyes suddenly sparkled, " The eldest princess really wants to deny it, have you ever had a strong interest in me?"

"That was only in the past, but now..." Yan Yilan leaned over to look at Jiang Ningzui from top to bottom, shook her head and said, "Looking at your expressionless face, my emotions and desires are completely broken. "

Although Yan Yilan said so, Jiang Ningzui felt as if her eyes wandered past the place, like a prairie fire, and her body burned violently along with her sight.Instead of looking at Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui just turned her head slightly and said, "That would be my honor."

Jiang Ningzui's teasing is always cool and cool, with her usual indifferent tone, obviously neither salty nor light, but the meaning in the words can often make people short of breath for a while.

Yan Yilan was taken aback, then laughed out loud, her gaze on Jiang Ningzui suddenly turned and became bottomless. "Ningzui, do you always think you're smart?" Yan Yilan's voice still carried an indelible laziness and playfulness, but there was more of a clear tone in it, hiding the lingering tone. prestige.

Jiang Ningzui raised her head when she heard the words, not wanting to collide with Yan Yilan's long and narrow phoenix eyes, her mind was confused and she couldn't help but look away.

"Do you think that in this palace, as long as you don't care about the world and keep yourself safe, you will be able to protect yourself and retreat?" Yan Yilan said, slightly propped up her body, and opened the distance between her and Jiang Ningzui Unfortunately, even so, Jiang Ningzui still felt a burst of oppression in her chest, and it was hard to breathe.Staring at Jiang Ningzui's face, Yan Yilan curled the corners of her lips mockingly, and said, "If you still hold such naive thoughts, one day, you will be torn apart by the cruel reality."

Jiang Ningzui was silent, and after a long time said: "What exactly does the eldest princess want to say?"

"It's very simple." Yan Yilan propped herself up, she clapped her hands, and Bi Yuan immediately nodded and retreated.She turned back to look at Jiang Ningzui, gently lifted Jiang Ningzui's chin with her cold fingertips, and said: "I can hand over the little prince to you, but as a condition, from today onwards, whether you are in the East Palace Anyway, no matter how the crown prince treats you, no matter what your situation is, you must clearly remember in your heart——you are from this palace."

Yan Yilan's words made Jiang Ningzui's heart shudder, but her face still showed no extra emotion, even if it was a little shock, she was stingy to give it.Looking deeply at Yan Yilan for a moment, Jiang Ningzui said quietly, "What if I can't do it?"

Yan Yilan smiled, with a wanton expression in her eyebrows and eyes, as if she was talking about a deal that only made money but didn't lose money. "I don't think you have bargaining chips with me."

Indeed, no, but Yan Yilan's request was too overwhelming, Jiang Ningzui could not refuse, so she could only answer in silence.

"Of course." Yan Yilan picked up the cold tea and took a sip with her head down. The coldness in the mouth spread into the words of her eyebrows and eyes. "If one day I lose the power in my hand, or if you have enough power to overthrow me, then I will naturally not be able to do anything to you."

When Yan Yilan said this, there was a kind of cruelty and ruthlessness that disregarded life and death. It seemed that power, status, and everything in the world were nothing more than flashy appearances in her eyes. shine.At that moment, Jiang Ningzui almost thought that no matter how gorgeous and flirtatious Yan Yilan looked, her heart was empty and lonely, with only a ray of remnants supporting her.

At this moment, Biyuan led Xiaoshizi and the nanny into the Qiluan Palace. Xiaoshizi was only two or three years old, and his walk was still a little unsteady. As soon as he came in and saw Yan Yilan's figure, he immediately giggled, and then swayed Come running obliquely.

"Be careful." Yan Yilan got up to support the young prince, then turned her head to look at Jiang Ningzui, and asked with a smile: "Chen'er, why are you rude when you see the princess?"

He was obviously only two or three years old, but upon hearing Yan Yilan's question, he obediently bowed to Jiang Ningzui in a dignified way, and called out in a childlike voice, "Concubine Mother."

Although Jiang Ningzui was cold-tempered, seeing such a well-behaved and beautiful child inevitably softened her heart. She responded in a low voice, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only respond: "Get up."

"Did you understand what I said?"

Jiang Ningzui heard the words, and silently withdrew her eyes from looking at Xiao Shizi, the softness in her eyes dissipated, leaving a piece of indifference. "yes."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's answer, Yan Yilan gently pushed the young prince towards Jiang Ningzui's side, and said, "Biyuan, send the princess back to the palace." After finishing speaking, Yan Yilan sat down again and continued to hold on. She teased the Persian cat on the table without looking at Jiang Ningzui again.

After leaving the Fengyi Palace, Jiang Ningzui carried the young prince onto the phoenix chariot. Bi Yuan stood respectfully aside until the phoenix chariot was about to leave. Beside him, with his head slightly lowered, he said in a low voice: "After His Royal Highness returns to the palace, the kilometers must not be smooth, so be careful in everything, Your Majesty."

Jiang Ningzui didn't want Biyuan to have such a reminder, she turned her head to follow the sound, and saw that Biyuan had already retreated, saluted Jiang Ningzui respectfully, turned around and entered Fengyi Palace.

After seeing off Jiang Ningzui, Bi Yuan walked quickly back to the Qiluan Hall. Yan Yilan was resting with her head closed and her eyes closed. When she heard Bi Yuan's footsteps walking in, she only curled the corners of her mouth, but did not open her eyes. open your eyes.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has already driven back to the palace." Bi Yuan said, taking the shawl from the screen to cover Yan Yilan, and said softly: "Since Your Highness is worried about the Crown Princess, why don't you just say it clearly, This will only make the Crown Princess misunderstand His Highness more and more."

Yan Yilan slowly opened her eyes, and said with a smile: "According to her current temperament, this is the quickest way for her to understand the current situation."

Hearing this, Biyuan didn't say anything else, but her eyes hurt when she looked at Yan Yilan's back, showing a little worry and helplessness, and finally it all turned into a sigh and sounded in her heart.

The little prince sat peacefully on the phoenix chariot. His young age hadn't brought him much pressure from reality. He sat obediently, sneaking glances at Jiang Ningzui from time to time, even if Jiang Ningzui caught his gaze in the right direction. Seeing him neither shy nor afraid, he giggled at Jiang Ningzui.

In the past, the princess had always been gentle to the little prince, so he was not unfamiliar with Jiang Ningzui, and the child's temperament naturally couldn't detect that there was a world of difference between Jiang Ningzui and the princess.

Back in the East Palace, the nanny stretched out her hand to take Xiao Shizi, but Xiao Shizi refused anyway, and insisted on reaching out to Jiang Ningzui to hug him.While apologizing to Jiang Ningzui, the nanny tried every means to coax Xiao Shizi down. Jiang Ningzui watched for a while, seeing that there was no result in the stalemate, and finally stretched out her hand to Xiao Shizi hesitantly, not wanting that she just opened her hand. Arm, Xiao Shizi immediately got into her arms knowingly.

Hugging the soft little body in her arms, Jiang Ningzui's mood at this moment is really delicate to the point that it is indescribable.

After getting off the phoenix chariot, Jiang Ningzui just walked back to her Zhaoling Hall, when she suddenly saw a slender figure standing outside the hall door, she raised her head, and saw Yan Junyao standing under a plum tree, a few flakes of snow fell on him The shoulders made him more graceful and handsome.

Holding Xiao Shizi's hand tightly, Jiang Ningzui looked at Yan Junyao under the plum blossom, and finally walked over slowly under his smiling doting gaze.
