Fingers of crossing

Lu He stood tremblingly in the inner hall, she glanced nervously at Jiang Ningzui who was sitting safely in front of her, as soon as her eyes touched her cold face, she quickly lowered her eyes, watching herself tangle with anxiety Toes together.

Woo.She knows that the empress is in a bad mood today, so she has been serving with extra care during the dinner time. She doesn't know what she did wrong. After dinner, she was left alone by the empress. She thought she would be treated well. She was punished, but the good lady who didn't want her just glanced at her and asked her about King Beiyang.

"Actually... this servant is just a little maid, who doesn't know much...so..."

Jiang Ningzui's hesitations and hesitations of Luhe were all expected by Jiang Ningzui, but Jiang Ningzui had to hesitate in the second half of her sentence.It has been almost a year since she traveled through time, and she has a general understanding of the temperament of everyone around her, and among so many people, only Lu He is the one who is the best to inquire but not firm in her words.She looked down at Lvhe, her indifferent eyes showed no expression, but she just looked at Lvhe with fear.

"You just need to say that you know." Scraping the teacup without haste, Jiang Ningzui smiled slightly and said, "I won't embarrass you."

"Is what the empress said is true?" With Jiang Ningzui's assurance, Lu He's eyes lit up, and when she saw Jiang Ningzui nodding, she raised her head suddenly and said, "The previous old King Yang passed away. Early on, the king of Beiyang had already inherited the throne when he was less than the weak crown. He is really young and promising. The slaves also heard from the old maids that when the king of Beiyang came to Dayan last time, all the maids who saw him praised him for his heroic appearance. , personable..."

It seems that Luhe can't give any satisfactory answer to Jiang Ningzui after talking about it. She put down the cup in her hand and interrupted coldly: "I have heard the sixth prince mention that Beiyang King and Did the eldest princess have a marriage contract?"

"Yes!" Lu He didn't know why, she just blinked her big eyes and nodded in agreement.

The unhappiness during the day became more and more annoying, Jiang Ningzui's eyes deepened, her face was still expressionless, and said: "I also heard that the king of Beiyang never forgets the eldest princess?"

"What's the use of obsessing over it? Our eldest princess never takes the King of Beiyang seriously. This is a fact that everyone in our country of Yan knows." Lu He took it for granted, and felt terrible after she finished speaking. She quickly covered her mouth , looked around in panic, and seeing no one around, she lowered her voice and said: "Yan Kingdom has always been the weakest among the four kingdoms, the first emperor married his most beloved eldest princess to King Beiyang, and attached The meaning could not be more obvious, besides, the King of Beiyang has been in love with the Eldest Princess for a long time, and it is expected that he agreed. However, what kind of attitude the Eldest Princess held at that time, the servants do not know."

Yan Yilan's thoughts have always been hidden too deep, and Luhe naturally cannot penetrate and know, Jiang Ningzui heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions, just waved her hand and said: "I understand, you should step back first .”

Obviously the question was about King Beiyang, but why did she always feel that what the empress really cared about was the eldest princess?

Lu He was puzzled, but she would not have dared to ask her out in public, so she could only mutter silently, then nodded resentfully, saluted and left.

The night was already deep, and the scorching heat of the day was completely gone at this time, and there was a gust of breeze, a burst of refreshing pleasure.

It was already past Haishi, but Jiang Ningzui didn't feel sleepy at all, she simply got up, put on her clothes, and walked to the backyard against the cool wind.

The magnolias in the yard have already bloomed, and the small flowers are dotted on the branches like stars in the sky. A breeze blows by, and the slender branches sway with the wind. The woody fragrance lingers around the whole backyard. Although the fragrance is not strong, it seems Fragrant and elegant.

Jiang Ningzui stood under the magnolia tree, raised her head and stared silently, perhaps she could see clearly, and she didn't even notice when Yan Yilan appeared behind her.

The tip of her nose suddenly smelled a scent that did not belong to Mulan. It was an incompatible scent, but it was deeply familiar. Her mind froze, and she immediately recognized that it was the scent that belonged to Yan Yilan.

Before she had time to look back, there was already a shadow overlapping her side. Yan Yilan came to her side at some point, then stretched out her hand, and plucked a magnolia flower growing on the lowest branch for her.

Twisting a magnolia flower with her fingertips, Yan Yilan held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, with a faintly intoxicating smile on her face, she raised her head and smiled brightly at Jiang Ningzui.

"If you like it, I'll pick it all up and give it to you."

Jiang Ningzui's breathing was slightly stagnant, she looked at Yan Yilan without saying a word, under the stars all over the sky, all the magnolias were not as good as the sporadic smiles in her eyebrows and eyes.And her face seemed to be burning with scorching fire, which was about to burn all the magnolia flowers behind her to set off her every frown and smile.

Mulan's three thousand dollars is not worth a little bit of elegance in your eyebrows and eyes.

The beating heart in her heart seemed to be about to overflow her atrium, Jiang Ningzui restrained herself from showing it, lest she would be laughed at by Yan Yilan for a while, she just looked at Yan Yilan expressionlessly, and said: "Eldest Princess is in the middle of the night Why do you come to my Qiluan Palace without sleeping?"

Jiang Ningzui's seriousness was really interesting, Yan Yilan curled the corners of her mouth unconsciously, and answered ambiguously: "What other intentions do you have? Naturally, I came to steal you, a big treasure." As she said, Yan Yilan's body As the voice fell and approached, Jiang Ningzui couldn't dodge in time, and she was already embraced by Yan Yilan. "When you see me, you don't even want to give me a pleasant expression?"

"Surprise is true," Jiang Ningzui said in a cold voice after silently withdrawing half a step from Yan Yilan's arms, "but not necessarily joy."

Yan Yilan originally thought that Jiang Ningzui would be a little surprised to see her again after seeing her for half a month, but the facts have proved that Jiang Ningzui is Jiang Ningzui, and it is indeed impossible to expect that she will be separated for a few days because of her small separation. And changed the habit.

Therefore, Yan Yilan was not angry when she heard Jiang Ningzui's sarcastic remarks, but instead laughed with interest.

"The eldest princess seems to be in a good mood today."

When Jiang Ningzui asked, Yan Yilan followed her words and said, "How about you guess the reason?"

"Eldest princess's mind is going back and forth, I can guess at will." Jiang Ningzui said respectfully, but the tone didn't sound like that.As she spoke, she glanced at Yan Yilan indifferently, and said, "Could it be related to King Beiyang's coming to Beijing?"

This sentence aroused Yan Yilan's surprise, "You also know about this?"

"Since the king of Beiyang is coming, the eldest princess must have a lot of things to prepare." Jiang Ning paused drunk, and seeing that Yan Yilan did not deny it, she continued: "During this time, I will not worry about the eldest princess. After all, this is the Eastern Palace, and the Eldest Princess has a special status, so if she comes too many times, it will inevitably make people tongue-tied."

Jiang Ningzui said every word coldly, she said, she had already reached the gate of the main hall, she stopped in her footsteps, looked back at Yan Yilan who was dressed in Chinese clothes under the moonlight, and said: "I'm a little sleepy. Please come back, princess."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ningzui turned around abruptly, leaving Yan Yilan with a cold back, who had already disappeared into the hall.Before Yan Yilan could make a sound, the ruthlessly closed door of the main hall slammed, which seemed particularly dull in the silent night.

Which play is this... from?

Yan Yilan looked at the closed gate of the Qiluan Palace, and she still didn't come back to her senses. Biyuan looked at Yan Yilan's dazed expression, thinking that she had stayed by Yan Yilan's side for many years, seeing her like this It was the first time, thinking about it, Bi Yuan couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

Closing the door behind her back, Jiang Ningzui leaned against the closed door, feeling at a loss for a while.

There was a bright yellow light shining in the bronze mirror not far away, which happened to illuminate the obscure expression on her face, but there was a vague concern and anxiety in it.

How can I let you see me who is so jealous?This is not the original me. This kind of me feels strange even to myself, so how can I let you know?

Staring blankly at herself in the bronze mirror, Jiang Ningzui felt uncomfortable for a while, her mind was filled with the names of King Beiyang and Yan Yilan, a heart that was originally like calm water had already been disturbed by something at this moment. It is difficult to return to peace.

"Your Highness, the spies reported that they saw Princess Jing in the carriage accompanied by King Beiyang."

Princess Jing?

Hearing Bi Yuan's soft report, Jiang Ningzui couldn't help feeling puzzled.

How could the concubine of King Beiyang deserve the spies to report to Yan Yilan so solemnly?

Compared with Jiang Ningzui's doubts, Yan Yilan's expression seemed much more cheerful. She smiled, and most of the annoyance at being rejected by Jiang Ningzui before was gone, and said with a smile: "She is coming back too. ?”

Sensing Yan Yilan's emotions, Bi Yuan also slightly curled the corners of her lips, and said, "It must be that the King of Beiyang wanted to surprise the eldest princess, so he didn't explain it all the time."

"It's been almost four years, and I haven't seen her."

"That's right," Bi Yuan nodded and said, "Since the first battle between Yan and Sui, Princess Jing married Yang, and it's true that we haven't seen each other for many years."

Yan Yilan smiled, her eyes fell on Jiang Ningzui's tightly closed door, seeing her silhouette leaning against the palace door reflected by the palace lanterns in the hall, she laughed with interest: "Since she wants to Now that you’re back, it seems like it’s time to make some preparations.”
