Fingers of crossing

Walking in front of me was a middle-aged woman with elegant features and a dignified appearance. Even in the most common plain white clothes, she gave off a gentle yet luxurious feeling.

Her fine lines hidden eyes fixedly stared at Jiang Ningzui, as if she was looking at her extremely carefully, a little water vapor appeared in her warm eyes, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if to Want to hold Jiang Ningzui's hand.

"I've lost some weight." The woman stared at Jiang Ningzui and murmured, "I'm afraid you have suffered a lot in the palace?"

Jiang Ningzui didn't answer in a daze, not because she didn't want to respond to the woman's eager concern, but because she didn't know how to answer.So, she stood silently like this, looking down at the woman's outstretched hand, for a moment she didn't know whether she should extend her hand in the same way.

"Ma'am." Qingfu saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty was frightened after falling into the water last time, so I can't remember many things clearly."

Qing Fu's reminder was meant for the woman in front of her, but Jiang Ningzui could tell the identity of the woman from it, presumably, the person in front of her was the biological mother of the Crown Princess, the wife of the Great General.Thinking of this, Jiang Ningzui felt relieved, and it was no wonder that she looked at herself so much. There is no mother in the world who does not feel sorry for her child.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Jiang Ning unconsciously thought of her two mothers, her heart softened instantly, her lips and teeth hesitated a few times, and finally called out in a low voice: "Mother."

Hearing Jiang Ning drunk calling her, the general's wife Zhen quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she nodded in response, then turned to look at King Wu with a little apology, and said: "Look at me, seeing Ning'er is too much I'm so happy, I didn't have time to pay my respects to the King of Wu." After saying that, Mrs. Zhen bent over to salute.

"Madam, you don't need to be too polite." He stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Zhen, Wu Wang withdrew his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after entering the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen turned her head to look at Jiang Ningzui, nodded and said, "Yes."

The interior decoration of the General's Mansion cannot be compared with that of the palace, but it also has a special charm. After walking through an artificial bamboo forest, Mrs. Zhen led them to the ancestral hall in the mansion.There were two lanterns hung with white cloth hanging outside the door, which looked a bit bleak and terrifying at night. Jiang Ningzui followed a group of people into the ancestral hall, and saw that the wall facing them was covered with tablets of the ancestors of the Jiang family. She stopped and watched silently for a while, before she found Jiang Shuying's spirit card at the bottom, and she couldn't help but look twice more.

It's not because of any special words written on the spirit tablet, Jiang Ningzui can't understand those complicated and old sayings.The reason why she paid special attention to it was because there was a sword placed under Jiang Shuying's spirit seat.What a sharp sword it is, just looking at it from a distance, it seems that one can feel the sharp killing intent on it, and the strong smell of blood is coming straight to people's hearts.

Jiang Ningzui's heart trembled, and she couldn't help laughing at her fuss in an instant, it was just a sword in a sheath, no matter how sharp it was, how could it cause any harm by lying there quietly now, she instantly The tremors seemed unreasonable.

On the altar under the spirit tablet, several rows of wicks were burning silently, and when the wind blew from outside the ancestral hall, they swayed slightly, shaking the light and shadow in the room.No one spoke for a while, Jiang Ningzui turned his head and saw King Wu took a few steps forward. He lowered his head and stroked the enshrined sword, but his expression was hidden in the dark. Although Jiang Ningzui could not see it, he could see it. Feel the sadness in his silence.

Jiang Ningzui's mouth twitched twice, as if she could see the clue from King Wu's back with thousands of words, she was about to deliberate carefully, but unfortunately, her arm was suddenly gently pulled, and she turned her head to see Mrs. Zhen pointing at her Shaking his head, motioned for her to follow her out of the ancestral hall.

"Let King Wu stay alone for a while." Standing outside the ancestral hall, Zhen Shi seemed to be sighing or mourning. As she spoke, she seemed to think of various scenes in the past, and her beautiful eyes showed a slight pain. "Ning'er, follow me back to the room and talk."

Jiang Ningzui couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Zhen led her back to the boudoir where the crown princess lived before leaving the pavilion. The room was spacious and smelled of rich incense. An unfinished handkerchief.Suwen has two daughters of the Great General, one is heroic and capable in martial arts, and the other is gentle and intelligent, knowledgeable and reasonable. Now it seems that the rumors are true. This princess is really proficient in everything, even these female celebrities Embroidery is also well learned.

Thinking in this way, Jiang Ningzui couldn't help feeling sorry for the Crown Princess, such a talented woman was let down by the Crown Prince after all.If you meet a beloved person, maybe it will be an enviable story.

"Ning'er, sit down quickly, let mother take a good look at you." After ordering Qingfu to close the door, Zhen Shi stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Ningzui's person, and led her to the seat, While carefully measuring her, he said: "You tell mother honestly, is the crown prince treating you well?"

Having lived in the palace for a long time, Jiang Ningzui has gradually forgotten what it's like to care from the heart. She looked at Zhen Shi in front of her, smiled uncomfortably, and said, "Mother, don't worry, your daughter is doing well." very good."

"That's good..." Mrs. Zhen said, but she still couldn't let go of her heart. She couldn't help looking at Jiang Ning for a while longer, and said, "Why did you go back to the mansion with King Wu? I heard the story of King Wu before." When I believed it, I thought I had heard it wrong."

Jiang Ningzui thought for a while, and simply lied: "It's what the eldest princess meant."

Hearing that it was Yan Yilan's order, Zhen Shi let go of her doubts and said in relief, "So that's how it is."

"I didn't agree with you when you wanted to enter the palace. You have a gentle temper and don't know how to fight. You will always suffer a loss if you enter the palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones." Zhen Shi sighed and said: "It's a pity You are devoted to the crown prince, and you refuse to give up no matter what, I have nothing to do with your father, so I nodded and agreed. Fortunately, there is still the eldest princess in the palace, if she takes care of me, I can rest assured."

I have always heard that the Jiang family is loyal to Yan Yilan, but now that she heard Zhen's words, Jiang Ningzui has a deep understanding. This kind of trust is not something that can be achieved in an ordinary relationship between monarch and minister.In a flash, Jiang Ning was drunk and thought again, the Jiang family's trust is not without reason. After all, since she replaced the crown princess in the past year, she has seen more clearly how Yan Yilan has defended the crown princess in every way. .

Mentioning Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui's always indifferent eyebrows showed a little discomfort, she lowered her voice, and said, "The eldest princess treats me very well."

Zhen Shi nodded when she heard the words, but unconsciously felt a little strange in her heart.I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that this time Jiang Ning returned home drunk, she was a different person from before, she was obviously still her daughter, but her personality, speech and behavior seemed so strange and different.

In the past, only Yan Junyao was on the lips of the Crown Princess, but now Jiang Ningzui has never said a word about Yan Junyao since entering the mansion, but never leaves Yan Yilan.This kind of obvious intimacy, Zhen Shi can feel it as soon as she hears it.

But Qing Fu also said that Jiang Ning accidentally fell into the water before she was drunk, so she couldn't remember many things clearly, maybe because of this, her personality has also changed a little.Thinking of this, Zhen Shi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing at herself thinking too much.The appearance of the daughter she brought up with her own hands is engraved in her heart, and the person in front of her is obviously her daughter. It is a bit baffling for her to guess without reason.

When she came back to her senses, Zhen Shi noticed that the atmosphere became silent for a while, she smiled faintly, looked at Jiang Ning drunk and said: "You still like this hairpin so much."

Hearing Zhen's sudden silence-breaking smile, Jiang Ningzui unconsciously reached out and touched the only golden phoenix hairpin on her head, then looked up at Zhen's, and asked casually, "Mother also knows that I like it?"

Zhen said with a smile: "How can you not know? This golden phoenix holding a bead and step rock was made by the first emperor when you were born full moon. There are only two in the world, and one is given to you. My sister, another reward is for you."

Rewarded to my sister?Jiang Shuying?

Jiang Ningzui's heart sank, she frowned slightly, and asked sideways: "Mother said that this was given to me and my sister by the late emperor?"

Not noticing Jiang Ningzui's change of mind, Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, there are only two hairpins in the world, and yours was put on for you by myself when you were as old as the hairpin."

There are only two... how come there are only two?If there were really only two, why did she find the exact same one in Yan Yilan's bedroom?

Jiang Ningzui suppressed the coldness in her heart, she tried her best to keep her voice as usual, "Then what about sister's one?"

"It is said that it was lost, but where it went, your sister still refuses to say." Zhen Shi was a little surprised why Jiang Ningzui was so persistent in asking about a hairpin, but she still tried her best to recall: "I I still remember that it should have happened when I first returned to the capital. One night, the late emperor gave a big banquet to clean up your father. For such a grand and grand royal banquet, I should have carefully dressed you up. I specially made you wear the emperor's clothes The phoenix hairpin. When you returned home later, your sister seemed a little uneasy, and asked her why the hairpin disappeared, and she only said that it was snatched by a barbarian."

Once the gate of memory was opened, Mrs. Zhen also slowly remembered the past. "I was a little puzzled at that meeting. Your sister has been practicing martial arts and fighting with your father since she was a child. Her skills are not very good, but she will not be bullied by a casual apprentice. I feel strange in my heart, but it's a pity that you My sister refused to say anything, and the matter gradually passed away. What, why did you think of asking this today?"

Jiang Ningzui's heart sank heavily, but her face was still frozen, she just looked at Zhen Shi, and said, "Mother still remembers the appearance of sister's hairpin."

"It's the same as yours, except that the phoenixes on it are reversed. When put together, it becomes a picture of a left phoenix and a right phoenix."

Jiang Ningzui only felt that her hands and feet were a little cold, and the doubts in her heart were gradually answered, but she fell into another deeper doubt.

King Wu, is this what you said that I must remember?

"Ning'er?" Zhen looked worriedly at Jiang Ningzui's pale face, and unconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ningzui pursed her lips hard, she concealed the thoughts in her heart, and said with a faint smile: "Mother, why not tell me more about my sister, I am really curious."
