Fingers of crossing

Jiang Ningzui pushed with all her strength, Yan Yilan staggered and couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Yan Yilan patted the fox-fur shawl lightly, and finally laughed in a low voice. There was no trace of drunkenness in her clear eyes, and she looked at Jiang Ningzui's eyebrows with a bit of playfulness.

"The courage is really getting bigger and bigger."

Naturally, Jiang Ningzui also understood that she pushed too hard, seeing Yan Yilan's attitude, she didn't know what to do, so she could only apologize softly: "I'm in a hurry, and I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

"Aunt Huang, Aunt Huang." Xiao Shizi interrupted excitedly at this time, handed Lan'er into the arms of the nanny beside him, and then ran over with his arms open, scurrying back and forth in front of Yan Yilan, saying: "Aunt Huang can't be partial, I want to hug her too."

Hearing this, Yan Yilan just nodded Xiaoshizi's head angrily, and said amusedly: "Little bastard, if you don't learn well, if your father knows that you are acting like a baby and stomping your feet here in this palace, let's see how he punishes you when you go back. you."

Hearing Yan Junyao's name, Xiaoshizi trembled for a moment, he really didn't bother to ask Yan Yilan to hug him anymore, he just pouted and looked at Yan Yilan, muttering childishly: " Hmph, don't hug if you don't, Aunt Huang is partial."

Hearing Xiao Shizi's muttering, Yan Yilan just smiled indifferently. Since she came to power, she has never heard any misunderstandings and criticisms. Compared with those false rumors, Xiao Shizi's accusations are really innocuous. itch.

"Then quickly go back to the palace with your mother and concubine." Yan Yilan waved her hands lazily, and said, "In case the crown prince comes here to ask for someone later."

"Then..." Xiao Shizi rolled his eyes roundly, his eyes fell on Lan'er reluctantly, and asked cautiously, "Aunt Huang, can I still come tomorrow?"

Yan Yilan raised her eyes and cast a drunken glance at Jiang Ning, who was at the side, then turned her gaze back to Xiaoshizi, and asked, "Do you still want to come?"

"of course."

Xiao Shizi's answer was all within Yan Yilan's expectation, she sat back at the stone table and took another sip of wine, and said in a closed voice: "Then I have to ask you."

"Why do you want to ask my concubine?" Little Shizi didn't understand Yan Yilan's endless thoughts. will bring me."

"But I like your mother and concubine better."

Yan Yilan spoke as if she was shopping in a vegetable market, not in a hurry, but also in a bargaining tone. When she said this, Jiang Ningzui, who had been standing outside the palace, was suddenly stunned. She hastily withdrew her gaze from admiring the plum blossoms in the garden, turned her head and unexpectedly met Yan Yilan's gaze looking back, and blocked the sly smile in her eyes by the way.

Unable to guess what kind of tricks Yan Yilan was playing, Jiang Ningzui just wanted to refuse, but Xiao Shizi responded innocently and innocently: "It doesn't matter, the mother and concubine are the same." These words were extremely firm Shunliu, it seems that she didn't notice Jiang Ningzui's rejection and resistance in her heart at this time.

"Then..." The helpless expression on Jiang Ningzui's face was hidden under the faint look, but it still couldn't escape Yan Yilan's eyes. She smiled coquettishly, and continued to ask: "Then if your mother and concubine refuse to bring you here?"

Xiao Shizi was still naive, he didn't realize that he had sold out the 'mother concubine' whom he kept calling, and he replied straightforwardly: "Then I will cry and pester my concubine to bring me here."

Jiang Ningzui was stunned to the side, almost dumbfounded, it was too late to stop Xiao Shizi, she could only stand by silently, watching the two people in front of her come and go and sell her so casually.No matter how you look at it, Xiao Shizi doesn't look like Yan Junyao's child, but he fits in very well with Yan Yilan. Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui seems to be able to imagine what Xiao Shizi will look like in the future.

"Okay." Yan Yilan slightly protracted the end, she said, her eyes fell lightly on Xiao Shizi, she couldn't see the sincerity or pretended to smile and said: "You are much smarter and more sensible than your father. "

Yan Yilan's words seemed to have a different meaning to Jiang Ningzui's ears. It was not difficult to find the sarcasm hidden in her words after chewing carefully, but Xiao Shizi naturally didn't understand it, and felt that he was influenced by Yan Yilan's words. Lan's praise almost didn't raise her tail to the sky, and she asked Yan Yilan all the way: "Really? Aunt Huang, am I really smarter than my father?"

Children are always innocent and innocent. Yan Yilan put down her wine glass, looked at the anticipation and excitement in Xiao Shizi's eyes, and a softness flashed in her usually coquettish and playful eyes, and said with a smile: "Really."

Being praised by Yan Yilan, who has always been a high-ranking and powerful person, Xiao Shizi was not to mention how happy he was, and laughed to himself.Jiang Ningzui stood aside and watched for a long time, and suddenly remembered that her mother once told her that whoever treats children gently and kindly, then there must be a softness in that person's heart, and he will not be a cold and heartless person.

It's just that I don't know if this sentence is also applicable to Yan Yilan who is in power.Maybe Yan Yilan still has a soft forbidden place in her heart, maybe she is not just as cold and cunning as she looks on the surface, maybe...she is just a mortal after all, unable to avoid troubles and hurts, and there must be a fragile side in her heart .

Realizing that she was starting to think about unimportant people and things, Jiang Ningzui hurriedly pulled herself back to her senses, turned her head and saw Yan Yilan sitting under the plum blossom tree drinking by herself, her expression was sleepy, her eyes and eyebrows were covered with a kind of lonely Covering, revealing a little bit of loneliness, as if everything in the world is just a sporadic embellishment in her eyes, not worth mentioning.

Sensing Jiang Ning's drunken sizing eyes, Yan Yilan turned her head, the loneliness in her eyes was hidden tightly, she stretched her eyebrows and smiled, looked at her, shook the wine glass in her hand, and said, "You still refuse to leave? Could it be that you want to leave?" Come get drunk with me?"

As soon as Yan Yilan said these words, Jiang Ningzui immediately pursed her lips, with an expression of resistance showing on her plain face, she hastily retreated, and led Xiao Shizi away from Fengyi Palace.

The wine in the glass was completely cold, as if she hadn't noticed it, Yan Yilan silently lowered her head and took a sip. The bitter taste mixed with the aroma of plum blossom permeated the tip of her tongue, and the smile on her lips was slightly astringent.

Thinking of Jiang Ningzui's hastily leaving just now, Yan Yilan felt amused. She poured out the remaining half of the cold wine in the glass, and watched them soak into the thick snow on the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Looking at her docile and soft appearance before, I always thought of love and pity in every possible way, and didn't want her to suffer the slightest harm in the palace.But seeing her now, seeing her no longer the cold attitude she used to have, he couldn't help but want to make fun of her everywhere, teasing and teasing her.It seems that only if she is unhappy with her, she will not appear to be alone, coming and going alone, guarding the unspeakable past, and withering alone.

Jiang Ning left Fengyi Palace drunk, carried her little prince into the Phoenix chariot, and returned to the East Palace.

The phoenix chariot stopped outside the Hall of Shaohua, and as soon as she got off the phoenix chariot, Jiang Ningzui saw Liu Huanxue coming out wrapped in a thick shawl. Leading Xiao Shizi over, a pair of crescent-like eyes forcefully smiled, and bowed to Jiang Ningzui's approaching figure.

"I'm sorry, sister." Liu Huanxue said, first ordered the nanny to carry the little son into the palace to avoid catching cold, then turned to look at Jiang Ningzui, and said: "I made my sister run this trip for me."

Jiang Ningzui looked at Liu Huanxue's appearance, it seemed that she was seriously ill, she had some doubts about what she said before, but now seeing this, most of the doubts in her heart have disappeared.Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui smiled lightly, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, the side concubine doesn't need to be polite."

Liu Huanxue covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and coughed lightly again, then nodded and said: "It's cold outside, sister be careful of catching a cold." As she said that, she turned around and was about to order the servants to drink tea for Jiang Ning.

"I won't go in." Jiang Ningzui stopped Liu Huanxue and said, "You take good care of your illness, we will talk about it after a few days when you recover from illness."

Hearing this, Liu Huanxue didn't insist too much, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Saying goodbye to Liu Huanxue, Jiang Ningzui had just walked out of Shaohua Palace when a figure dressed in white came in front of her. On the promenade, the woman's white clothes were as elegant as snow, and she looked extraordinarily ethereal in the winter scenery.She walked straight towards Jiang Ningzui, and when she got close, Jiang Ningzui could see the man's face clearly, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and picturesque, and her white clothes made her look like a fairy who was not stained with dust , if it wasn't for the cold spirit hidden between her brows, Jiang Ningzui would really think that what she saw was just a dream in the painting.

"Pool guard."

Qing Fu was the first to speak out, calling the woman in front of her.

After finishing speaking, Chi Wei had already walked in front of Jiang Ningzui, and she saluted with a voice as cold as jade, without any procrastination. "This subordinate pays homage to the Crown Princess."

"Get up."

Jiang Ningzui was a little curious. She had always heard that the palace was tightly guarded and the guards were Chengyun, but the female guard... was the first time she had heard of it, and it was also the first time she had seen it in the palace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningzui looked at Chi Wei a few more times unconsciously. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Xiao Shizi's voice behind her, and turned around following the sound, and saw Xiao Shizi had already run up the corridor, Run towards yourself.

Panting, Xiao Shizi ran to Jiang Ningzui's side, giggled, and said, "Concubine Mu, I have something for you."

Hearing this, Chi Wei turned around to face Jiang Ningzui, saluted and said, "I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

"Ah."

Jiang Ningzui nodded her head, and watched Chi Wei's beautiful figure disappear in the Shaohua Palace, and then she came back to look at Xiaoshizi, and asked curiously, "What do you want to give me?"

Hearing the words, Xiao Shizi fiddled with his sleeves for a long time, and finally took out a delicate phoenix hairpin as if offering a treasure, and stuffed it into Jiang Ningzui's hand.

"Nonsense." Seeing that the hairpin that Xiao Shizi gave her was exactly the same as the precious golden phoenix with a bead she wore a few days ago, Jiang Ningzui frowned slightly, and lightly reprimanded Xiao Shizi: "You When did you steal my hairpin?"

"I didn't steal it from my concubine!" Xiao Shizi originally wanted to please Jiang Ningzui, but he didn't want to be reprimanded first and touched his nose. He pouted and said unhappily: "This belongs to Aunt Huang. I just found it at Aunt Huang's place."
