Fingers of crossing

Jiang Ningzui seldom dreams, because since she traveled to Yan Country, she can't sleep peacefully.

But this time she slept for a long time, so she had an extremely absurd and prolonged dream.She dreamed that she was in a wilderness, surrounded by darkness and silence, and suddenly a white light appeared in front of her eyes. She suddenly saw the scene around her clearly, but she saw that she was standing on the edge of a cliff, and she would fall into the abyss if she took a step forward. He fell to pieces.Despair entangled her heart like seaweed. She turned her head and saw someone approaching her with a silver sword with a cold light. The murderous intent was imminent, but she could only watch helplessly, with no way to escape.

Struggling to wake up from the dream, Jiang Ningzui wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, sat up silently, no longer sleepy.

Was it a nightmare?

Jiang Ningzui looked at the layer of moisture in her palm by the moonlight, and suddenly felt a little funny.In the past, I always thought that I was indifferent by nature, I didn't have much joy or sorrow, and I wouldn't feel overwhelmed or afraid of anything, but now it seems that I think of myself too highly.In the final analysis, she is just an ordinary person. In the palace, which is full of dangers, she will also feel scared, like a frightened bird.

The slight movement in the room did not want to disturb Qing Fu who was watching the night in the outer hall. Qing Fu hurriedly stood up when she heard the sound, and hurried into the inner hall. Seeing Jiang Ningzui sitting up in a daze, she hurriedly lit the inner hall lights.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Qing Fu thoughtfully handed over a cup of hot tea, looked at Jiang Ningzui's pale face, and said, "Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Ningzui took a sip of the hot tea to suppress her shock, then glanced at Qing Fu lightly, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's just past Yinshi, does the empress still need to sleep for a while?"

"No need." Jiang Ningzui shook her head and said, "Wait for me to freshen up."

A scent of plum blossoms mixed with the night outside the window, Jiang Ningzui sat in front of the dressing table, smelled the fragrance and turned her head, looking at the snowy snow falling in the dark night sky outside the window.

Qingfu walked in with her toiletry set, saw Jiang Ningzui staring out the window, she couldn't help slowing down a little, and walked over silently.

Now every time Jiang Ningzui sees Qingfu, she can always think of the last words she said yesterday, and then her mood is hard to calm down.

The Crown Princess hurt the Eldest Princess' heart. It was really hard for her to believe that the weak and cowardly Crown Princess in the eyes of everyone could actually hurt the always cunning and cold Eldest Princess.

Jiang Ningzui was exhausted from sleeping this time, so Qingfu passed on breakfast in advance so that Jiang Ningzui could refresh herself.After eating breakfast, Jiang Ningzui saw Lu He walk in with her small mouth pouting, her cheeks bulging, and she looked sullen.

"Niang Niang." Lu He bowed to Jiang Ningzui, and said: "The side concubine is here, please come in?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ningzui nodded, and seeing Qingfu's mouth pout even higher, she reluctantly walked out, muttering in a low voice as she walked: "Who doesn't know that she is being favored by the prince now, come here at this time, can she What's the good thing?"

As soon as Luhe stepped back, Liu Huanxue led the nanny and Xiao Shizi into the Zhaoling Hall. Seeing Jiang Ning drunk, she saluted and said, "Sister."

"Mother concubine."

Xiao Shizi was very happy when he saw Jiang Ningzui, he thumped his feet and fell to the ground, then ran to Jiang Ningzui's side, and sat next to Jiang Ningzui on her chair.

"You don't need to be too polite." Jiang Ningzui focused on Xiao Shizi's eyes that were red from crying, and didn't care too much about etiquette, she smiled lightly and asked Liu Huanxue to sit beside her.

"Xiao Shizi woke up early in the morning, crying and clamoring to find the eldest princess. I coaxed the nanny for a long time, and the tears just stopped." As he spoke, Liu Huanxue coughed twice, his face was a little pale, but his cheeks were pale. Shows an unusual blush. "It's my fault. I was infected with the wind and cold last night. I can't take the little son to the eldest princess in person. I wonder if I can bother my sister to go?"

Jiang Ningzui was silent. She first lowered her head and glanced at her pitiful little son, and then looked up at Liu Huanxue's obviously sick and weak appearance. Just when she was about to say no, the hand she didn't want to rest on her lap was suddenly felt soft. Holding it tightly, she lowered her head and saw Xiao Shizi looking at her with his mouth shut, not to mention how pitiful he looked.

"The side concubine's health is critical, so I'd better go to the imperial doctor to have a look." Jiang Ningzui said in a low voice, sighed lightly, and said, "As for the young son, the side concubine doesn't have to worry."

When Liu Huanxue heard this, she knew that Jiang Ningzui had agreed, so she smiled weakly and said, "Then I will trouble my sister."

It was the twelfth lunar month, and the plum blossoms in the backyard of Fengyi Palace were in full bloom. They were full of vigor and vitality, and there were pure white flowers hanging on the sparse branches, revealing the cold fragrance implicitly, showing an outstanding posture.

Last night, a strong wind knocked down most of the plum blossoms that were covered with trees. When Yan Yilan got up early in the morning, she saw that the ground was densely covered with snow-white patches, and there was still a fresh fragrance in the air.This scene looked quite elegant, which made Yan Yilan feel a little pity, so she was wrapped in a thick fox fur and sat alone on the stone bench in the backyard, asking Biyuan to warm a pot for her Wine, drink lightly with these withered flowers.

The wine made from plum blossoms remained between the teeth and cheeks with a faint fragrance. The warm liquid entered the abdomen all the way, and slowly ignited a ball of heat in the body, dispelling the chill in the limbs.

When Yan Junhe came to Fengyi Palace, Yan Yilan was leaning on the stone table, sipping wine comfortably, watching him approaching with a smile with a slightly drunken eyebrow and a different kind of charm, with a kind of The cold and arrogant charm captivates all beings.

Yan Junhe saluted, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a cool smile, "Miss Huang is so elegant."

"Come." Yan Yilan took a new wine glass, filled it up herself, handed it to Yan Junhe, and said, "Have a few drinks with me."

Looking down at the hot wine glass in front of him, Yan Junhe smelled the fragrance of the wine, and said, "Then, I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders."

"Speaking of which, I sent someone to Wu Ning Palace to visit Concubine Ning a few days ago, and she mentioned you, saying that you haven't visited her there for a long time, and she misses you very much."

After Yan Junhe had a glass of warm wine, when he heard the name of his mother and concubine, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "The crown prince has just returned to the country of Yan, and there are many things that need to be done by my younger brother. Will definitely find time to visit.”

When Yan Yilan heard this, she just bent her lips calmly, she held her head lightly with one hand, took the jug with the other and filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and said: "Concubine Ning also said that you have always been impetuous and often act out It’s something irrational, I hope I can take more care of it.”

The hand holding the wine glass trembled, Yan Junhe quickly raised his head and glanced at Yan Yilan, then lowered his head and took a sip to conceal, and said: "Mother and concubine always like to talk about things, I hope the emperor doesn't care too much."

"But I feel that Concubine Ning really understands you." As if talking casually, Yan Yilan drank the wine in the glass with her neck up, looked at Yan Junhe with half-closed eyes, and smiled speciously. "Bengong's temper has never been very good, even the prince can't tolerate it. Tell me, will I be tolerant of you?"

There was a cold smile in Yan Yilan's brows and eyes, and a burst of moisture suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand. Yan Junhe's face was still calm, but his heart was already beating.

"The younger brother doesn't understand what the emperor means."

Yan Yilan stood up drunkenly, and walked slowly to Yan Junhe's side. She bent down halfway, her black hair slanted like a waterfall, and she approached Yan Junhe with a light smile: "There are some things that shouldn't be touched, never touch them." , if you want to test the bottom line of this palace, then this palace will definitely let you taste the pain of bone-cutting and heart-burning."

The nose smelled a burst of wine, mixed with the rich fragrance of Yan Yilan's body, inhaled into the lungs, only to feel a suffocation of death in the heart, Yan Junhe was startled, just stood up as if trying to escape, but found Yan Yilan Lan rested an elbow on his shoulder blade, immobilizing him for a moment.

"My brother dare not."

Hearing Yan Junhe's words, Yan Yilan laughed all the way. She straightened up, supported the stone table with one hand, and lightly held the wine glass with the other. She said with a smile, "I don't dare. I can't see others playing tricks under my nose."

After Yan Yilan finished speaking, she glanced and saw Biyuan warming a pot of new wine and bringing it up, she smiled and said: "I know you still have a lot of things to do, so I won't let you sit for a long time." , she took the wine that Biyuan brought, and handed it to Yan Junhe, "You and the prince have always had a good relationship, and I will reward you with this pot of wine."

Yan Junhe only felt that Yan Yilan's eyes were burning like fire for a moment, he stood up and thanked him, without saying anything else, he turned around and strode away from Fengyi Palace.It wasn't until he walked out of the palace gate and a gust of cool wind blew in front of him that he realized that his back was wet and cold, and he thought he was covered in cold sweat.

In the heavy snow, he was just about to move, when he suddenly saw a phoenix chariot parked outside Fengyi Palace, he took a closer look, and found that Jiang Ningzui led the little prince off the chariot.

Jiang Ning went up the stairs drunk, and at this time, she happened to meet Yan Junhe who was standing outside Fengyi Palace. He saw that his face was gloomy, and he was no longer as flirtatious as before. When he looked up carefully, he found that there were a few touches hidden in his eyes. Lost and embarrassed, looking at Jiang Ningzui's vision is complicated and difficult to distinguish.

"Six princes."

Jiang Ningzui nodded her head as a signal. She thought that Yan Junhe would still show a disdainful and rude expression after meeting her, but he nodded stiffly, then brushed past Jiang Ningzui, and left without looking back.

The cold wind was blowing, Yan Junhe's figure was hidden in the heavy snow, it was almost difficult to distinguish clearly.Jiang Ningzui watched in silence for a long time, and then led Xiao Shizi into Fengyi Palace, but doubts gradually arose in her heart.

The sixth prince, who was arrogant and frivolous, didn't look at her yesterday, why did he suddenly seem like a different person today, how can he still see the slightest bit of the romantic look of the past?
