Fingers of crossing

There was a dead silence in Zhaoling Hall.

Qingfu, Luhe and the others just buried their heads lower, their backs bowed like straightened bows and arrows, which might break at any moment.

No one dared to speak.

Jiang Ningzui naturally also noticed such a silent and strange atmosphere, she silently raised her head and looked at the eldest princess in front of her who made everyone fear, and stared straight at her flirtatious face, as if she wanted to detect her hypocrisy She could not guess the real thoughts behind her smile, or guess whether her previous words were a joke or a blame, but unfortunately it was in vain.

Although that face is beautiful, it is so beautiful.

Although such an atmosphere was due to the eldest princess' question, but if she really thought about it carefully, it seemed that she herself was the one who directly caused this scene.Just thinking of the words and deeds of the eldest princess just now, Jiang Ningzui almost immediately decided that this is definitely not a master who calms things down. No matter what, he must not provoke her again at this time, at least it is necessary to admit his mistake .

"If my words and deeds offended the Eldest Princess, please forgive me."

Yan Yilan sat leaning on the chair, her chin lightly propped up with her left hand, she stared at Jiang Ningzui in front of her with a half-smile, seeing the unfazed expression on her indifferent face, her smile became even more intriguing. "Forgive me? I see that you don't seem to feel that you have done anything wrong."

The instant change of title did not escape Jiang Ningzui's ears, she raised her head calmly and glanced at Yan Yilan, but she didn't want to, but happened to collide with her smiling eyes, and she was caught directly .

Different from Jiang Ningzui's indifferent gaze, Yan Yilan looked at her with piercing ambiguity, like a prairie fire sweeping over, making Jiang Ningzui feel his back burning, and the originally cold eyes unconsciously avoided Lost that line of sight and fell elsewhere.

This eldest princess has a pair of seductive eyes, but unfortunately there is not only profound beauty and temptation in them, but also a kind of innate arrogance, dangerous and cruel.

"What difference does it make if you don't do something wrong?" Jiang Ningzui looked down at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and then raised her head to stare indifferently at Yan Yilan who was smiling all the way in front of her, no matter how clumsy she was, no one could see Come out, between her, the crown princess, and the eldest princess in front of her, who is the one who really holds the right to life and death. "If the eldest princess says I'm wrong, then I must have done something wrong. This is the criterion for the eldest princess to evaluate right and wrong, right?"

Jiang Ningzui's words were not blindly flattering and flattering, but sharp and decisive. Even if she understood the current situation, she never flinched and was afraid when facing Yan Yilan. There was also a hint of disdain and contempt.

Yan Yilan laughed softly when she heard this, but she was not angry at all, she just took a sip of hot tea with the lid of the cup lightly, and then she looked at Jiang Ningzui through the lingering mist, with a smile in her eyes It looks extraordinarily unreal in the mist. "You've never talked to Ben Gong like this before."

Jiang Ningzui's face was still indifferent, she just turned her head to look at Yan Yilan's position, and lightly opened her thin lips and said, "Please tell me, the eldest princess, what was I like before?"

"Quiet and gentle, with a timid and cowardly appearance." Yan Yilan rested her chin on one hand, made an expression trying to recall the description, and finally added with a smile: "Yes, it looks like a trembling bird." little white rabbit."

It's a pity that Yan Yilan's temperament that she thinks is funny, but when she comes to Jiang Ningzui, she can only get a moment of silence that she disagrees with, and finally she makes a pertinent comment: "It just sounds stupid."

This sentence caused Yan Yilan to burst out laughing, she covered her mouth with her backhand and smiled lowly, her eyes looked at Jiang Ningzui in front of her with interest, and the expression in her eyebrows was playful and flirtatious: "You don't Seeing how shrewd he is, he has learned to talk back to Ben Gong."

Although Yan Yilan's words were a joke, the meaning behind her words was clearly as if she was making fun of Jiang Ningzui, laughing at how stupid her actions seemed that she didn't know what to do.

Jiang Ningzui heard it naturally, and she pulled a icy smile on her thin lips, and said: "It's my fault that I haven't been timid and cowardly."

"It's okay." Jiang Ningzui said, seeing Yan Yilan waving her hands indifferently at the side, the way she looked at her was particularly enviable. "This palace forgives you."

"..." It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Ningzui finally understood that she and Yan Yilan probably couldn't have a peaceful conversation.Even, if possible, Jiang Ningzui wished that she would never waste another word with Yan Yilan for the rest of her life.

During the silence, someone knocked on the door and came in. For Jiang Ningzui at this moment, this was definitely a blessing.

The person who came was a guard, he walked in, first saluted Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui, then looked past Jiang Ningzui hesitantly, and said after hesitating for a while: "Princess, there is an urgent message from outside the city ..."

Yan Yilan naturally understood the reason why the guards hesitated to speak out, she just waved her hands with interest, not shying away from the presence of Jiang Ningzui and other servants, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness just sent an urgent report from outside the city, saying that His Highness heard the news that the Crown Princess woke up, and planned to leave for the palace tomorrow morning."

Yan Yilan's expression was very indifferent from the beginning to the end, she just lightly passed the lid of the cup across the rim, then raised her coquettish and beautiful phoenix eyes, smiled at Jiang Ningzui, who was standing beside her with an expressionless face, and said with deep meaning Asked: "The prince is going back to the palace, Ningzui, do you want to see him?"

Jiang Ningzui originally had an attitude of staying out of the matter, and whether the prince would return to the palace was not a matter of concern to her, so when she heard Yan Yilan ask her, she turned her head slightly and looked over.After thinking silently for a moment, Jiang Ningzui said lightly: "Of course I thought about it."

"Oh?" Yan Yilan laughed all the way, and then she threw the teacup on the table, turned her head to the kneeling guard and said, "I've told you that the Crown Princess will be taken care of by me, Let’s talk about returning to the palace in a few days.”

Obviously it was Yan Yilan who asked Jiang Ningzui's thoughts seriously, but after she got Jiang Ningzui's answer, she chose the opposite decision inexplicably, as if she didn't take Jiang Ningzui's words at all. It's like listening to your ears.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ning raised her head in bewilderment, her eyes just fell on Yan Yilan's eyes hiding a playful smile.She frowned slightly, and suddenly realized at this moment that what Yan Yilan needed was not her own answer at all, what she needed was just a reason to tease her.

Jiang Ningzui didn't know what kind of festivals and past events there were between Yan Yilan and the princess. Sometimes she felt that they were close before, and sometimes she felt that Yan Yilan didn't treat her very well. Friendly, even stubborn, but to be honest, she really didn't feel any real malice from Yan Yilan.

With many doubts and thoughts in her heart, Jiang Ningzui just looked in Yan Yilan's direction and didn't speak, such an open gaze naturally couldn't escape Yan Yilan's eyes.

Although Jiang Ning's temperament has changed a lot since Jiang Ning woke up drunk, but according to her understanding of her just now, Yan Yilan has probably figured out some of her temper, so she asked with a smile: "Do you have something to say to Ben Gong?" explain?"

Since Yan Yilan had already guessed her thoughts, there was no need for Jiang Ningzui to deny it, saying: "This time when I woke up after falling into the water, I can't remember many things clearly. There are obviously familiar pictures flashing in my mind, but Like a phantom in a dream, it is fleeting, but I want to remember it but I can't remember it. Therefore, if I offended the eldest princess before, I hope the eldest princess can read it. people pass"

Although Jiang Ningzui's words were decent, her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, it sounded extraordinarily generous.But no matter how nice her rhetoric is, there is only one meaning behind her words, that is, since I can't remember everything, even if you make things difficult for me, it doesn't make any sense, it seems that you are not tolerant, Eldest Princess generosity.

Seemingly aware of Jiang Ningzui's words, Yan Yilan poured a new cup of tea. She lowered her head and blew on the mist from the hot tea, as if she was listening attentively.

"Go on."

"Besides, even if the crown prince doesn't return to the palace right now, he will return one day. The eldest princess will come to my Zhaoling Palace uninvited like this. After a long time, it will always be confirmed."

Jiang Ningzui's cold words were full of hints, but she still refused to say anything in person. Yan Yilan was tired of hearing such hints, and interrupted abruptly: "Get to the point."

"Princess, please go out." Jiang Ningzui said expressionlessly, looking at Yan Yilan calmly with her calm eyes, and said calmly: "Also, please send the princess in advance when the princess comes to my bedroom in the future. At least I can get ready to receive it in advance, and it won’t appear so abrupt.”

Looking at Jiang Ningzui's serious face, Yan Yilan suddenly felt that this kind of Jiang Ningzui was really interesting. She couldn't help laughing, half covered her mouth with the back of her hand, her shoulders trembled slightly, and said gimmickly: "If I don't want to Promise?"

Yan Yilan's words smacked of making things difficult, Jiang Ningzui didn't get annoyed and ignored it, and said indifferently: "Then it's right for me to play the piano against the cow."

Yan Yilan looked at Jiang Ningzui with a smile, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were looking at Jiang Ningzui with a seriousness that she didn't have just now. "I kind of miss your docile and weak appearance before, at least you are much more likable than you are now."

Hearing the playfulness and teasing in Yan Yilan's tone, Jiang Ningzui acted as if she had never heard of it, her eyes fell on the direction of the palace door, her voice was cold, like a layer of snow outside the window: "It's getting late, If the eldest princess has nothing else to say, please go back to the palace first." After speaking, Jiang Ningzui turned and walked towards the dressing table behind the screen, passing by Qingfu and others who were still kneeling in front of her. Said: "Quickly get up and wait for me to change and wash."

Qingfu heard this, first she turned her body towards Jiang Ningzui's direction, then looked in Yan Yilan's direction with embarrassing expression, but still dared not stand up.

"What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear what your master said?" Yan Yilan had a smile on her lips, and she reminded Qingfu softly, which counted as her consent.

With Yan Yilan's permission, Qingfu and Luhe dared to stand up, and hurriedly followed Jiang Ningzui to the back of the screen.

Jiang Ningzui's figure stopped behind the nine-layered curtain, and the light reflected the slender figure on the curtain. She slightly tilted her head and looked in Yan Yilan's direction, her eyes and eyebrows were full of coldness, like a girl in a world of ice and snow. A beautiful red plum blossom.

"The road is slippery in the middle of the night, the eldest princess should be more careful when going back." Jiang Ningzui's voice was so indifferent that there was no emotion mixed in, revealing the indifference of being thousands of miles away, she said, slightly nodding towards Yan Yilan, The meaning of seeing off guests is very clear. "I won't send it away."
