A "ridiculous" guess flashed by, Nangong Jingnv instinctively vetoed, but the idea crawled back to her mind like she had grown feet.
The door of the hall opened, and Nangong Wang stepped into the hall, bringing in a gust of cold wind.
Nangong Jingnu suddenly got up and walked towards the door of the hall.
"The homecoming banquet is about to begin, where is the imperial sister going?" Nangong Wang asked.
"Brother Three Emperors." Nangong Jingnu hurried out of the hall.
The waiter at the door greeted him: "What is your Highness' order?"
"You two come with this palace with your lanterns."
"Yes."
Nangong Jingnu hurried all the way, denying the gushing out again and again, but her pace was getting faster and faster.
Memories flashed: "Your eyes..."
"I suffered from a serious illness when I was young, but after luckily recovering, my eyes have mutated. I can't see things at night when I can't see strong light, and I can't drink alcohol for life."
…
The cold wind hit the face, and it hurt like a knife!
The two servants with palace lanterns followed behind Nangong Jingnu, the lonely moon hanging high, the candlelight swaying and shaking.
Nangong Jingnv once again came to the rockery where the day was hiding, her heart beating like a drum.
It is a pity that the night is too dark, and this section of the palace road is remote and has no lights, so it cannot be seen as far as it is during the day.
"The light for this palace."
"Yes."
Nangong Jingnu took the palace lantern and took a deep breath: "You two wait here."
"The servants don't dare, what is Your Highness looking for? Let the servants go."
"Ben Gong said, wait here."
"… Yes."
Nangong Jingnu counted her steps, listened to her heartbeat, and approached step by step.
The anger in her heart flashed, and what followed was an uncontrollable consternation, puzzlement, sourness, regret, and things she couldn't explain herself.
"Why are you still here!"
Qi Yan turned her head and stared at her empty eyes for a while, then tentatively whispered, "Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu took a big step forward and lifted the palace lantern to see Qi Yan's pale face and bluish lips, her mood was extremely complicated: "Bengong asked why are you still here!?"
"My lord has nowhere to go."
"You!" Nangong Jingnu was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked Qi Yan's calf.
The latter snorted and said aggrievedly: "His Royal Highness kicked me again."
A small incident that had long been forgotten suddenly emerged, and Nangong Jingnu looked at Qi Yan blankly: It turned out to be him!
Those who remembered were opened, but in those flirtatious amber eyes, there was a void with no focal length.
Nangong Jingnu bit her lip and lowered her arrogant head slightly: "The palace banquet is about to start, let's go back."
"it is good."
"I'm holding you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu held the palace lantern in one hand and Qi Yan in the other, her hand was cold and stiff.
Isn't this person afraid of freezing to death? !
"In the future, you are not allowed to go out in the dark."
"Yes."
"Slow down, steps!"
"it is good."
"Also, why do you have nowhere to go? The Weiyang Palace in this palace lets you come and go as you please."
"My servant does not know the way."
"If you don't know, just ask, so many sages are white?"
"Your Highness is worried that His Highness will not be able to find anyone when he returns."
…
Nangong Jingnv really wanted to ask Qi Yan: What if Ben Gong didn't come back
However, this question is meaningless, she is back, isn't she
…
Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan walked into the hall hand in hand, and everyone was paying attention to them.
Nangong Rang's eyes swept over the hands they held together: "My son, hurry up and take your seat, the palace banquet begins."
It turned out that after Nangong Rang came, he found that Nangong Jingnu had not arrived yet, so he ordered Sijiu to invite him in person and sat in a high position to wait.
Not only did he not receive any blame for being late for the return banquet, but he also allowed Nangong to wait willingly.
Nangong Jingnu's favored degree once again broke Qi Yan's expectations.
Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnu shared a case of sitting. Because of the pain in her legs when she sat in the cold wind for most of the day, she groaned.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Jingnu asked.
"nothing."
Nangong Jingnu turned her head and saw Qi Yanrong's pale face with forbearance.
"But the leg hurts?"
Qi Yan hesitated for a while, then nodded: "It's a little stiff, just relax for a while. Your Highness doesn't need to worry."
Nangong Jingnu wanted to speak, but didn't say anything.
Qi Yan can't drink alcohol, while Nangong Jingnu is greedy.
Nangong Rang, who knew the temperament of a lover, ordered someone to fetch her usual luminous cup and give her a pot of wine.
The reddish-purple nectar slanted down, reflecting blood-like coquettish colors.
Nangong Jingnu drank a drink and narrowed her eyes comfortably.
Putting down the wine glass, Nangong Jingnv said to Qi Yan, "This white roasted lamb chop is something that people can't eat. Try it."
The maid cut a rib for Qi Yan and put it into Qi Yan's saucer.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"It tastes better with the green chive sauce on the side."
"My lord knows."
Qi Yan hooked the corners of her mouth, poured a little chive sauce on the lamb chops, took a bite, and said in surprise: "It turns out that mutton tastes like this, it's really delicious on earth, and the lips and teeth are fragrant."
Nangong Jingnu also smiled: "Is what Ben Gong said right?"
Qi Yan ate the lamb chops with relish, a lamb chop was quickly eaten clean, and with a long sigh, she showed a satisfied expression.
Before the first year of Jingjia, there was no such way of eating in the Wei Kingdom, and even mutton was a rarity.
It was not until the iron hoof broke through the gate of the grassland, and the Wei State invaded and occupied a large area of pastures and cattle and sheep, that the civil restrictions on mutton were gradually released.
Since then, the leek flower, which is regarded as a weed by the Wei people, appeared on the dining table for the first time...
Qi Yan took a clean cloth from the maid's hand and wiped her hands, holding a jug and pouring a glass for Nangong Jingnv: "I heard that the father and emperor have nine sons, and the third emperor introduced the second emperor and the fourth brother at the last wedding banquet. Brother Huang, why didn't you see other brothers attending the banquet this time?"
Nangong Jingnu picked up the glass and drank it and explained: "The prince and the ninth prince are not yet ten years old, so naturally they can't come. The seventh... The withdrawn temperament will not attend such an occasion. The sixth brother is the most romantic, listen. It is said that the public opinion is not good, and every time he appears, he will be reprimanded by the father and the emperor. The fifth brother is an excellent person. When I was a child, the other emperor brothers did not like to play with our sisters. Except for the two brothers of the Lu family, I was also the fifth brother. We are the closest to our sisters. It's a pity... Fifth brother is born lame. As for the eldest prince... I will talk to you later when I have a chance."
Qi Yan picked out the important information and kept it in her heart. Seeing that the wine glass was empty, she added another cup to Nangong Jingnu: "My minister sees that the fourth and second emperors are so far apart in age, why are they sitting on the same case together?"
"The second brother and the fourth brother are first-born compatriots, and the concubine is the concubine Huigui we have seen today. The third brother's concubine is the concubine Shu."
"I see."
The eldest prince Nangong Ping is a taboo in the court. In terms of identity, the second prince Nangong Wei is more suitable for "assistance". Unfortunately, he has a brother.
The fifth prince, Nangongda, was born with insufficiency. Whether the sixth prince, Nangonglie, is keeping a low profile or being a real playboy remains to be discussed. The age of the prince is not considered.
Qi Yan turned her attention to the third prince, Nangong Wang. At first, this man disguised as Xu Wang used Xie An's hand to entertain the poor students from all over the world, which seemed to be ambitious.
Well, it's him.
Qi Yan held down Nangong Jingnu's hand holding the jug, and said softly, "Your Highness, this minister has seen it in ancient times: wine has the most lingering power, so don't be greedy after three glasses have passed."
Nangong Jingnu licked her lips, and reluctantly let go of the jug: "Okay." She has to take care of the second sister at night, so it's really not good to drink too much.
Halfway through the palace banquet, the stamina of the wine poured out, and Nangong Jingnu's cheeks were pink. Sitting beside her, Qi Yan's face was even more rosy than Nangong Jingnu.
There were bursts of tingling pain in the temple, and dizziness came from time to time. Qi Yan frowned and worked hard to straighten her body: This is the symptom of wind evil entering the body.
After a while, Nangong Jing's second sister took the initiative to resign.
"Father, it's getting late, and my daughter is too drunk and wants to go back to the palace first."
Nangong Rang nodded and instructed Si Jiu, who was standing behind him, "You personally bring someone to take Princess Zhen Zhen back to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"My son, don't rush back to the palace, just stay in the palace for a few more days."
"Yes, Father."
A gust of cold wind came out of the hall, and Qi Yan shuddered and felt even more dizzy. Nangong Jingnv saw Qi Yan's delay and held her hand again.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Weiyang Palace is very close, it's coming soon."
"Um."
Nangong Jingnu felt that Qi Yan's palm was very hot, but she didn't think about it.
Back to Weiyang Palace, Nangong Jing's daughter Qi Yan said: "Ben Gong will send you back to the side hall first, and I will take care of the second sister when she is ill."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu accompanied Qi Yan to the door of the side hall, and instructed the maid who came out: "Add more braziers at night." After speaking, she hurried to the main hall.
Nangong Shunv had taken the medicine and sweated, and her condition was much better. When Nangong Jingnv entered, she was leaning on the bed, holding a book in her hand.
Nangong Jingnu took off the cold cloak and gave it to Chuntao: "Second sister~!"
"came back?"
Nangong Jingnu sat on the bed and took the hand of Nangong Shunv: "It hurts your eyes to see at night, second sister is all right?"
"I have nothing serious to do, so my sister is worried."
After speaking, he held Nangong Jingnu's face: "Why is your face so hot? Is it because of the wind?"
"It doesn't matter, at the palace banquet, the emperor gave a pot of fine wine, hehe."
Nangong Shunv put her finger on Nangong Jingnv's Qiong nose: "You are greedy for cups again. Chuntao, go and cook the hangover soup."
"Yes."
Nangong Jingnu shook her head into a rattle: "No need, I don't like that smell."
"Let's drink a bowl, to save you from a hangover and headache."
"I really don't need it, I only had three drinks."
Nangong Shunv was a little surprised, her sister has always been the most greedy for cups: "When did you change your sex?"
"It's not Qi Yan..." Nangong Jingnu's heart tightened, and she changed her tone: "Second sister~ I want to sleep with you tonight!"
Nangong Shunv smiled and said, "They're all big girls who came out of the pavilion. Are you still so afraid of the dark?"
"Second sister~, are you okay?"
"This is your bedroom, can I still drive you out?"
"Second sister hurts me the most."
