Who do you want to talk to
Nangong Jingnv went straight to the Chengchao Palace, but got off the sedan chair and stood at the gate of the palace without taking a step.
The palace gate of Chengchao Palace was open, but it seemed that an invisible palace gate was cast. Nangong Jingnu let out a long sigh and raised her eyes to look inside the palace wall.
It was late autumn at this time, and even the Chengchao Palace, which had the most beautiful scenery in the entire inner court, lost its former vitality.
Nangong Jingnu looked at the southeast corner of the palace, and sure enough, the branches of the trees there were also bare.
In the inner court, except for the back garden, the palaces are not allowed to plant trees without permission. First, the feng shui of the inner court is calculated by experts and cannot break the ground casually. Second, it is to prevent assassins from hiding in the tree canopy to assassinate.
In the entire palace, there is only its own Weiming Palace, and the Chengchao Palace has such a fruit tree. Nangong Jingnv remembers: when she was six years old, she read a record of fruit farmers picking fruits in a book, and she had to ask for it on a whim. Plant a fruit tree in the palace. Unable to stand the grind, the emperor ordered someone to dig a fruit tree from outside the palace and plant it in the courtyard of the Weiming Palace, so this fruit tree became the "one-of-a-kind" of the inner court.
That autumn, I tasted the joy of a bumper harvest for the first time, and I washed the fruit I picked by myself and sent it to my father. Stubble shaves his face, smiling happily.
It was only in the second year, perhaps because of the lack of nutrients, the fruit of the fruit tree was dry and astringent, and the fruit was small. In the third year, Nangong Jingnu completely lost interest in picking fruit, but the fruit tree was preserved. until today.
Nangong Jingnu withdrew her gaze, she never seemed to be a long-term lover...
Since childhood, many of the decisions I have made are temporary interests, and when the interest is over, they will not continue.
Everything has changed since I met Qi Yan.
She made herself fall in love with reading, and to this day, no matter how busy she is, she reads a few pages before going to bed.
She made herself fall in love with practice, and she practiced it for a while every day.
She let herself fall in love with her... not less.
Fanxing: "Your Majesty?"
Nangong Jingnu came back to her senses and said lightly: "You all stay here, I can go in alone."
Fanxing: "Yes."
Nangong Jingnv dragged her long court clothes and walked into the Chengchao Palace. The maids and servants were rarely seen on the road. It was not until they approached the main hall that they saw two palace maids guarding the door. When they saw Nangong Jingnv, they hurriedly bowed down: "Slave servants. See Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnu: "Why are you two alone? What about the others?"
The two palace maids looked at each other, one of them was more daring and replied: "Go back to your majesty, the servants were also newly transferred yesterday, and now there are only two palace servants, two internal servants, and the rest. The... slaves don't know either."
Nangong Jingnu understood: "Where is Yuanjun?"
Gong maid: "Go back to your majesty, the palace is in the study. The maid is going to invite me."
Nangong Jingnv: "No need, I'll go over by myself, you... go to Chuan's meal, tell the imperial dining room to follow the old rules, and I will have dinner at Chengchao Palace tonight."
Maid: "Yes!"
Nangong Jingnu walked to the study alone. After noon, the weather turned cold.
Outside the study, Nangong Jingnu knocked on the door of the study. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to call...
Qi Yan was writing the last volume of "On Ten Disadvantages of the Old Politics", and just started, when she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was the palace maid who came to urge her to eat again, and replied: "I don't need lunch anymore, don't come to invite me again. already."
Nangong Jingnu gave a wry smile and knocked on the door again.
Qi Yan in the room frowned, grabbed the silk cloth on the side and covered it over what she wrote, put down the brush and got up to open the door.
Qi Yan: "I didn't say..." The words of accusation stuck in her throat. Seeing the person outside the door, Qi Yan was stunned.
This is the first time that Nangong Jingnu has seen Qi Yan's irritable expression in many years of marriage: "...it's me."
Qi Yan lowered her eyes, but her hands were still clinging to the two doors, as if she had no intention of inviting Nangong Jingnu to enter.
Nangong Jingnv was not in a hurry, and took advantage of this effort to take a good look at Qi Yan, and finally realized the fact that Qi Yan was indeed a woman.
The man in front of him has no beard, not even shaved pores, and his fair and firm skin is by no means something an adult man can have...
Nangong Jingnu looked at Qi Yan's hand holding the door panel again, her fingers were slender and slender, it is not too much to describe it with green jade fingers...
It can be said that in addition to the flat chest and the clothes of the man, the person in front of him has obvious characteristics of a woman. I have never doubted it for so many years. Who is to blame
Nangong Jingnu naturally saw Qi Yan's pale fingertips. Although the other party had no expression on his face, some subtle body movements still betrayed her inner emotions.
Nangong Jingnu: "You've lost weight."
Qi Yan raised her head abruptly. She, who has always been good at disguising, was full of surprise and surprise at this time.
Nangong Jingnu sighed softly again: "I just came back from the courtroom, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"
Qi Yan then let go of her hand, her lips moved but she didn't say a word, she silently moved her body away, and watched Nangong Jingnu pass by in front of her eyes.
The study was still furnished, Nangong Jingnv didn't go inside, she sat on the chair in front of the hall, Qi Yan closed the door and came to Nangong Jingnv's opponent and sat down.
There was another long silence, but this time it was still Nangong Jingnu who took the initiative: "Today, I had a quarrel with Ding Yi in the morning."
Qi Yan: "Yeah."
Nangong Jingnu: "It was the last time, Ding Yi refused to give up, and tried to unite with Lu Boyan to bring this matter to the court, but I suppressed this matter temporarily. I have already told Gongyanghuai to find a few The confidant went to Jinju to settle the matter..."
Speaking of this, Nangong Jingnu paused: "Although I am the emperor, I still have a lot of helplessness. It is unwise to fight against Ding Yi in this situation. We can only temporarily avoid the edge and wait for Jinzhou to handle it properly, and everything will be fine. It's easy to say. During this period... I may want to wrong you, but no matter what kind of questioning you receive, you must bite to death and refuse to admit it, and leave the rest to me."
Nangong Jingnu's voice was very soft, with concern and helplessness, she finished this sentence in a negotiated tone.
Qi Yan has mixed feelings, the other party already knows most of the truth, but he still stands by his side without hesitation, trying his best to protect himself, the sinner...
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty..."
Nangong Jingnu: "Huh?"
Qi Yan: "What I said before is true, you..."
Nangong Jingnv was silent for a while, then said faintly: "Let's not discuss this matter first, shall we? I... you give me some time, I'm not ready to discuss this matter, let's close this one first, other things ...more later."
Qi Yan's eyes darkened and he didn't answer.
Nangong Jingnu's heart swelled. Although she knew the identity of Qi Yan's woman, she still couldn't see her feeling sad.
Nangong Jingnv explained: "Your business... is between us, and it's not up to those courtiers to dictate. You listen to me, don't be stubborn on this matter, no matter how interrogated you are, just bite the bullet. Don't let it go, and leave the rest to me, okay?"
Seeing Qi Yan nod, Nangong Jingnu breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression became brighter.
After thinking about it, Nangong Jingnu added: "Ding Yi is determined to 'cut the grass and remove its roots', Ding and Lu are in unison, and they are both participants in Beijing's past events, so I think they must be at this time. I'm so scared. Even if I manage to suppress this matter today, I can't control the courtiers' private movement too much... Based on today's situation, I won't be able to suppress the trouble next time. But you don't need to. Worrying, it's better if you can't hold it down... Now you don't have any official or half-official position, the emperor's position is the same as the rear of the main palace, and the courtiers' hands can't reach my pillow no matter how long they are. Simply let Ding Yi If you make a big fuss, I will pretend to hand you over to the Inner Court Division, Dali Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and the Three Divisions for a joint trial. The Xingbu Fuya will never meet your side. People in the Inner Court Division are all winks, Zongzheng Temple The mansion is controlled by the Gongyang family, and there is only one Dali Temple left... Presumably Ding Yi and Lu Boyan can't get any results. I let them investigate carefully until they run out of ammunition and food... "
Nangong Jingnu pursed her lips, and there was a gleam in her beautiful eyes: "It's time to settle accounts after the autumn."
Qi Yan stared blankly at Nangong Jingnv, the figure of the emperor in front of her could not be integrated with the naughty girl of the year, Nangong Jingnv finally became the emperor's talent, not the one who was purely based on preference and had no strategy. girl.
What made Qi Yan even more moved and ashamed was that Nangong Jingnu said, "My own affairs are their affairs...
But a panic also followed. The "truth" that Nangong Jingnu knew was just the tip of the iceberg. When she knew everything, would she feel that she had deceived her again? Even thought he was using her despicably
Qi Yan doesn't want to live like this anymore, which is one of the reasons why she made up her mind to confess to Nangong Jingnu.
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty... Do you have anything to ask the minister?"
Nangong Jingnu was silent for a while, then murmured, "Why not... You always have to give me some time, after all..."
Qi Yan: "I persuade Your Majesty that it is better to send the minister."
Nangong Jingnv's face was cold: "What are you talking about? It's been so long, why are you still stubborn?"
Qi Yan: "It's not that the minister is ignorant of praise, it's just... I'm worried that Your Majesty will regret it."
In the past few days, Nangong Jingnu also thought that the deaths of several emperors might be related to Qi Yan. If it wasn't for Ding Yi and others, she would not have the courage to come to see Qi Yan so early.
Nangong Jingnu replied with a bit of anger: "I said... This is a matter between you and me. Even if there is a settlement, it should be done by me. It is not the turn of outsiders to intervene."
Qi Yan stared at Nangong Jingnu: "Then the minister will wait for your majesty to settle with the minister."
Nangong Jingnu: "Qi Yan..."
Qi Yan: "My name is Agula."
Nangong Jingnv: "I know... I, I will stay at Chengchao Palace for dinner tonight, and I won't be able to see you for a while, remember what you promised me."
Qi Yan: "Okay."
