Fingers of crossing

The little maid stood timidly in the Zhaoling Palace, her hands were stirring the corners of her clothes, and she wanted to cry. When she heard the sound of Jiang Ningzui throwing the teacup, her knees softened and she fell to her knees on the ground.

Woo.She is just a little palace maid. She just entered the palace a few days ago. When she was cleaning the courtyard, she was called by the eldest princess for no reason and sent her to Zhaoling Hall to pass on a message. Seeing the extremely sympathetic look in his eyes, she suddenly felt bad.

Sure enough, she would rather spend her whole life in Qiluan Palace than stand in front of such a cold princess.

The little palace lady wants to cry but has no tears. Isn't it rumored in the palace that the princess is soft and weak?But why the princess in front of her is completely different from what everyone said, she doesn't even have the courage to look up at the princess.

"Your Majesty." After all, Qingfu has been with the Crown Princess for many years, so she is much calmer than others, she asked softly: "Then shall we go or not?"

Jiang Ningzui was not in a hurry to answer, but just looked down at the trembling back of the little maid kneeling in front of her, pondered for a moment, and then nodded silently.

When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she saw Bi Yuan waiting outside the palace from a distance, and seeing Jiang Ningzui's figure, she quickly walked up to her and saluted, "Prince Princess."

Jiang Ningzui raised her hand to signal her to get up, "Where is the eldest princess?"

"Returning to the Crown Princess, Your Highness is in the Shenyan Pavilion." Bi Yuan said, straightened up, and said: "Please come with the servants and maids."

Walking through the long corridor, when Jiang Ningzui came to Shenyan Pavilion, the courtyard was full of peach blossoms, small pools, rockery, and clear springs, like a fairyland on earth.

As a modern person, Jiang Ningzui has seen the neon lights of high-rise buildings a lot, so even the huge palace can't attract much attention and interest from her, but every scene and everything here is full of elegance and style. The exit was carefully arranged, so that she would not stop in her tracks and take a few extra glances.

"Princess, this way please."

Bi Yuan interrupted Jiang Ning's drunken daze softly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Bi Yuan had gently opened the door of Shenyan Pavilion for her.

Yan Yilan was sitting in front of the table looking at the memorial, when she heard the door being pushed, her eyes lifted from the memorial and fell on Jiang Ningzui.Yan Yilan's eyes were indifferent, without any emotion mixed in, she slowly examined Jiang Ningzui for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"It seems that the Crown Princess not only takes the soft but not the hard, but is also interested in abuse?"

Jiang Ningzui considers herself to be a calm person, but when facing Yan Yilan, she always seems to fall short.She didn't speak, but just looked at Yan Yilan indifferently, and said indifferently: "The reason why the eldest princess asked me to come here is to show off my quick tongue?"

When Yan Yilan heard this, the smile on her lips disappeared, and she ordered to the maids waiting on both sides: "Everyone go down."

The maids nodded and retreated, Yan Yilan turned around and looked at Bi Yuan behind her, and said, "You go down too." Then, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked at Jiang Ningzui, "It's enough to have her here." gone."

Hearing that Yan Yilan sent away all the servants, even Bi Yuan retreated, Jiang Ningzui suddenly felt a sense of crisis, she took a step back unknowingly, who knew that Bi Yuan had already pressed her face Yilan ordered to close the door.

Jiang Ningzui's reaction fell into Yan Yilan's eyes. She was amused in her heart, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she reached out to light the cups on the table and said casually, "Make tea."

"..." At this moment, there were only the two of them left in the room, and Yan Yilan could only speak to Jiang Ningzui. She pursed her lips and stood by the door as before. Slowly follow Yan Yilan's words and walk over.

There were two stacks of memorials neatly placed beside the table, Yan Yilan would pick out some and throw them aside from time to time, Jiang Ningzui silently looked down at those memorials, Yan Yilan didn't shy away when she found out, and let her go for a while look up.

Make a cup of hot tea according to Yan Yilan's order, and Jiang Ningzui placed it on her left hand side for her to pick up. Afterwards, Jiang Ningzui glanced at her calmly, seeing that her complexion was still not very good, The lips were slightly pursed, pale.

"Aren't these memorials sent to the East Palace?" Jiang Ningzui said, her gaze sank, and she said, "You don't trust the crown prince?"

Yan Yilan put down the memorial in her hand, but she didn't answer, she just reached out to pick up the cup of tea that Jiang Ning had made drunk, scraped the lid lightly, and lowered her head to take a sip.

"What is this?" Yan Yilan just took a sip of the tea in the cup, her black eyebrows slightly raised, looking at Jiang Ningzui's eyes with disgust. "Go, let Bi Yuan teach you how to make tea."

Even though Yan Yilan said that, her implication couldn't be more obvious: I can't even make a cup of tea well, so what's the use of me keeping you?

"..." If it wasn't for the unlucky time to transmigrate to the body of Princess Yan, Jiang Ningzui would probably never want to do anything for others in her life.Now that she had to make compromises due to the situation, she still suffered such blatant disgust, she took a deep breath, looked at Yan Yilan silently, and did not reach out to pick up the teacup that Yan Yilan had returned.

There was a stalemate between the two, and Bi Yuan suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, the prince is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Yan Yilan looked normal and said in a low voice: "I'm tired, let him come back another day."

"Then... what if the prince asks about the princess?"

Yan Yilan's fingertips lightly tapped on the memorial on the table, but her eyes lightly fell on Jiang Ningzui's face, as if she wanted to see through her.Biyuan's question was not just a whim, Jiang Ningzui understood, she was about to turn around and push the door out, but she heard Yan Yilan's voice sounded ahead of her: "Tell the prince, the princess will stay here for a while In a few days, everything will be taken care of by me, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

The hand covering the carved door frame stopped, Jiang Ningzui looked back at Yan Yilan in a little surprise, but saw that she had already lowered her head and looked at the memorial again.It seemed that she had no intention of explaining to Jiang Ningzui what she just said.

The sound of Biyuan's footsteps had gone away, Jiang Ningzui couldn't figure out what kind of trick Yan Yilan was playing again.It is suspicious to tease her with such words today, but now she is staying with her for a few days in such a grandiose manner, thinking, Jiang Ningzui unconsciously stretched out her hand to gather her skirt, looking at Yan Yilan with vigilant and cold eyes.

Yan Yilan raised her head, and saw Jiang Ningzui's vigilant look as expected, she put down the memorial in her hand, concealed her amused heart, and asked, "Do you know why the prince is asking to see you at this time?"

Not wanting Yan Yilan to ask her, Jiang Ningzui was silent for a moment, and said, "Mrs. Ying is dead."

"Cui Ying is just a little lady, how can it be worth the prince's troubles?" Yan Yilan made a joke, her voice also revealing some sarcasm. "But do you know why Cui Ying died?"

Jiang Ningzui's throat rolled a few times, and finally swallowed Chi Wei's name back. "Cui Ying's death was not caused by the assassins in the East Palace that night?"

"Cui Ying's grandfather once supported Taiwei. Without Cui Ying's grandfather's help and promotion, Taiwei is just an inconspicuous nerd. Later, Cui Ying's grandfather passed away, and Cui Ying's With the help of the Taiwei, my father became a small county magistrate, and his daughter Cui Ying also married into the palace and became the wife of the prince." Yan Yilan said, looking at Jiang with ink-like eyes. Drunken, lazy and clear eyes. "It's a pity that the Cui family received the favor of the Taiwei. Instead of knowing how to restrain themselves, they amassed money in the local area and oppressed the people. They even instigated Cui Ying to stir up trouble in the palace and stir up trouble at the prince's bedside. Such rumors and troubles, How can the Taiwei continue to allow them to implicate him? Killing Cui Ying is just a shock to the Cui family, if they don't know how to restrain themselves, then no one knows who will die next. "

What happened next didn't need to be explained by Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui could roughly understand it.

Liu Huanxue is not only the daughter of the Taiwei, but also the person closest to Cui Ying, so she is naturally the easiest to get.That night Chi Wei pretended to be an assassin to kill Cui Ying, but Yan Yilan had expected it, and secretly sent additional people to arrest him.After his whereabouts were exposed, Chi Wei could only sneak into her bedroom on purpose, and put all the incident on her head.In this way, when Cui Ying visited Zhaoling Palace that day, Liu Huanxue's sudden appearance and seeing through Cui Ying's tricks were not out of good intentions and good intentions, but were added to make the scene more realistic.

All the blame was pointed at Jiang Ningzui, even she couldn't find any words to defend her.

Jiang Ningzui did not answer, she silently looked at Yan Yilan who was not angry at this moment, and found that nothing seemed to escape her eyes.

"These are the reasons why the eldest princess let me stay for a few days?"

Hearing this, Yan Yilan raised her head to look at her, her eyes were burning, ambiguous and glaring.She threw away the memorial in her hand, got up and walked towards her slowly, her steps were not fast, but every step seemed to step on Jiang Ningzui's heart, a sense of danger approached with her steps.

The instinctive sense of crisis made Jiang Ningzui take a step back, but unfortunately her back was already on the door frame, and she couldn't avoid it.Yan Yilan had already walked in front of her at this time, and in the blink of an eye, her body was already in front of her eyes. She put one hand on Jiang Ningzui's head, and gently squeezed her chin with the other, winking like Looking at her indifferently, he smiled sinfully.

"Don't hide?"

Jiang Ningzui's gaze fell coldly on Yan Yilan's enchanting face, and she frowned slightly upon hearing her words.She didn't answer, but calmly said: "I should go back to the palace."

"Damn stupid woman." Sensing that Jiang Ningzui was about to struggle to leave, Yan Yilan suddenly reached out to Jiang Ningzui's waist with a hand, fixed her movements, and cursed in a low voice: "Believe it or not, Before you even stepped out of Fengyi Palace, you will be captured alive by the crown prince and buried with you?"

Jiang Ningzui's original struggling movements stopped, and she quickly raised her head, looking at Yan Yilan's face that was so close at hand, her breathing was stagnant, and she hurriedly turned aside.

Are these things Yan Yilan did and what she said just to protect her?

Jiang Ningzui's heart was no longer calm because of this thought, and something seemed to be growing crazily in her chest. This feeling was too strange, even if they repeatedly hit Jiang Ningzui's heart, she still couldn't tell what it was. for what.

Jiang Ningzui's face was shrouded in Yan Yilan's shadow, she didn't struggle anymore, but said in a muffled voice, "Let go of me first."

Yan Yilan heard that, instead of leaving the hand that was holding Jiang Ningzui, she clenched it even tighter. She suddenly possessed herself and moved close to Jiang Ningzui's ear, and said with a coquettish smile, "Actually, it was a long time ago. I want to ask you." Yan Yilan said, her smile became brighter, her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes hid a bit of cunning. "What makes you think that Bengong is still interested in you now?"

Jiang Ningzui's face froze and quickly cooled down.

"Where does your inexplicable self-confidence come from?"

Before Yan Yilan's banter was finished, she suddenly saw Jiang Ningzui pushing her away fiercely, her face was half embarrassment and half indifferent, this was the first time Yan Yilan saw so many expressions on Jiang Ningzui's face .

"Eldest Princess, please be gentle with your jokes." Jiang Ningzui gave Yan Yilan a hard look, the embarrassment on her face was fleeting, and the indifference returned in an instant.Such a quick composure made Yan Yilan cry out in her heart, it's a pity. "Frankly speaking, your behavior is extremely childish."

After Jiang Ningzui finished speaking, she didn't bother to talk to Yan Yilan who was behaving badly in front of her, she turned around and opened the door and left.

Yan Yilan was left alone, half leaning against the door, recalling Jiang Ningzui who had a changeable expression and was extremely funny just now, she laughed softly, and couldn't stand up for a long time.
