The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded
Qi Yan retracted her gaze, her right thumb swept across her index finger, and there were several freshly scabbed wounds on it.
She had been preparing a birthday present for Nangong Jingnu for a full month. The treasures of the princess's palace were piled up in mountains of gold and silver, and there were countless rare treasures; she just wanted to send some special items.
In addition to riding and shooting, she is best at writing, but when she thinks that she has already "sent" nearly ten copies, if it is her birthday, she will send it again...
With her eyes closed, she could imagine Nangong Jingnu's dissatisfied expression, Qi Yan remembered that on Xiaodie's third birthday, she gave her sister a wooden sculpture of a puppy. Xiaodie likes to put it next to her pillow even when she sleeps, so Bayin got jealous and yelled to carve one for him too.
So Qi Yan bought a few good logs and tools, and locked them in the study for more than half a month. Several pieces of the log were broken, leaving more than a dozen slits on her hands, and the birthday gift was finally completed.
It's a pity that what happened later, since you have already made up your mind to alienate Nangong Jingnu, it is inappropriate to give such a gift.
Before leaving the house, Qi Yan sat in the study and played with wood carving for a long time, but she still threw it in a box and sealed it up.
What Nangong Jingnv wants, she can't afford in this life, so why torture her repeatedly
When he came back to his senses, the banquet was about to start, and Qi Yan had no choice but to grab a party of ink ingots and go out.
When approaching the Princess Mansion, I got off the carriage and came on foot.
…
It happened that she met Ji Ya in front of the mansion, and through a short contact with Qi Yan, she was completely sure that Ji Ya had recognized herself, but she was puzzled by what purpose the other party had.
Having doubts in my heart, I couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, but was caught by Nangong Jingnu.
Through a series of observations, Qi Yan became more and more puzzled: if she said that Jiya went to Beijing just to get married, she would not believe it.
However, if Ji Ya really has some kind of ulterior motive, she shouldn't only befriend Nangong Mistresses...
Among the many imperial heirs in the hall, which one does not have a higher status than the Nangong Mistress? Even if it is in the way of men and women's defense, they should go to make friends with Nangong Jingnv.
Why did Jiya decline the invitation of Nangong Jingnv to sit together, and just sit next to Nangong Shunv
"Sixth brother, let's have a drink."
Nangong Jingnv's voice interrupted Qi Yan's thoughts. She looked up and saw that Nangong Jingnv's cheeks were flushed, and she was holding a glass to invite Nangong Lie for a drink.
Qi Yan retracted her gaze, seeing that the delicacy on the case had no appetite, she simply bowed her hands towards the main seat, got up and left the main hall.
Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan's back until she disappeared before she retracted her gaze: "Sixth brother, you won't go home if you don't get drunk today."
Nangong Lie also raised his glass: "Little sister is refreshing, I will accompany you to the end."
A palace maid circled around the edge of the main hall, bowed to Qiu Ju and said in a low voice, "Sister Qiu Ju, Zhuohua's concubine is here."
"I know, you go down first."
"Yes."
Qiu Ju knelt beside Nangong Jingnv's case and whispered, "Your Highness, the Second Highness's concubine has arrived."
Nangong Jingnu frowned slightly: "What is he doing here?"
Qiu Jusheng was afraid that Nangong Jingnu would say something astonishing, and persuaded: "Your Majesty has a purpose: all the royal heirs of the same generation can wish His Highness a birthday."
Nangong Jingnv thought for a while and said, "You go and ask the second sister what she means, if you can't, you'll be dismissed."
"… Yes."
Since the maid ran in, Nangong Shunv had guessed seven or eight points, and sure enough...
She dispensed with Lu Zhongxing's daily greetings, and the last time she met was at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet.
Seeing Qiu Ju's embarrassed look, Nangong Shunv said lightly, "The visitor is a guest, please come in."
Qiu Ju rushed away as if she had been granted amnesty.
Ji Ya, who was on the side, put down the wine glass and asked, "Do you want me to change my position?"
"Be humble and do not respect, Lady Yafei, just sit down."
Ya Fei chuckled: "We don't have this rule in the grasslands. He is your concubine and I can sit elsewhere."
Nangong Shunv slightly straightened her waist and pursed her lips: "Everything will be asked on a first-come-first-served basis, please sit here."
Ji Ya suddenly laughed, moved closer to Nangong Mistress, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Isn't your concubine more annoying than me?"
Nangong Shunv turned her head in shock, but met Ji Ya's smiling eyes, her eyes radiant.
Maybe it's the look in the eyes that can make people relax their vigilance, and Nangong Shun's inner words slipped out: "Well."
Nangong Shunv opened her mouth, thinking about explaining, but heard a series of silver bell-like laughter.
Ji Ya's smiling face attracted a lot of attention.
Nangong Shunv blushed and explained in a low voice, "Niangniang Yafei... I didn't mean that."
Ji Ya finally stopped laughing and patted Nangong Shunv's arm, still a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Then I have to see, who can hate me more than anyone."
"My lady..."
Just as he was talking, Lu Zhongxing arrived.
Nangong Shunv immediately turned her head back, without looking sideways, she was deserted.
Lu Zhongxing walked into the hall with a bird cage covered with black silk, and took the lead in searching for the figure of Nangong Shunv. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Ya Fei sitting beside her.
Ji Ya covered her painful stomach with one hand, leaned on Nangong Shun's shoulder, and looked at Lu Zhongxing with a smile on her face. The latter blushed and retracted his gaze.
"His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen forgive me, I'm late."
Nangong Jingnu held the wine glass and glanced at the cage: "Since Master Lu knew that he missed the time for the banquet, he still came here with perseverance, which really moved this palace."
Everyone laughed. This sentence seemed to be a joke, but it was telling Lu Zhongxing that he was not welcome. How could the latter not know? He bit his head and laughed for a while, and handed the bird cage to Qiu Ju: "His Royal Highness will definitely like this birthday gift."
The black silk was pulled away, and in the cage was a black-haired and orange-billed myna. After fluttering in the cage for a while, he actually said, "Your Highness is auspicious, Your Highness is auspicious."
Nangong Jingnu was really interested, and teased the starling for a while and told Qiu Ju to keep it in the dormitory.
Lu Zhongxing stood in the center of the main hall, but Nangong Jingnv did not arrange a position for him.
Ji Ya quietly poked Nangong Shunv, motioning her to watch the joke together.
Nangong Wang looked at Ji Ya blankly, her soul was already sucked away by her charming smile.
Seeing Lu Zhongxing's embarrassed expression, the second prince, Nangong Wei, took the initiative to say, "If my brother-in-law doesn't dislike it, let's have a case with Ben Gong."
Does Lu Zhongxing have any disobedience
As soon as he took his seat, it was the other person's turn to be embarrassed.
Lu Zhongxing's position was just opposite to Nangong Shunv. The two looked at each other and saw the expectation flashing in Lu Zhongxing's eyes. Nangong Shunv was sitting on pins and needles.
Her disgust for this man did not diminish with the passage of time, and after a few quiet days, the unbearable memories of seeing this face suddenly flooded back.
Nangong Shunv reluctantly sat for a while, but finally couldn't stand the scene, got up and said, "Little sister, this palace goes out to get some air."
Nangong Jingnu nodded: "Lily, Shaoyao, you two will serve along."
"No need, Empress Yafei doesn't have a maid, so let them stay and serve. Ben Gong wants to walk alone."
Lu Zhongxing wanted to chase him out, and took this opportunity to have a good talk with Nangong Shunv, but he came late and just sat down, so it was unreasonable to leave like this.
He watched Nangong Shun leave, and picked up the glass: "I'm late, I'll punish myself for a glass."
Nangong Jingnu snorted softly: "How come one cup is enough? Qiu Ju, give Lord Lu a sea bowl."
At the moment of receiving Qi Yan's gift, Nangong Jingnu's backlog of worries these days turned into boundless anger.
At this time, she only felt that all her internal organs were burning, and no amount of wine could quench the flames in her heart.
She was reluctant to criticize Qi Yan, what is Lu Zhongxing? Even some affection in childhood has long since disappeared after he forced his second sister.
Qiu Ju didn't dare to disobey her order, and chose a bowl that was the right size, which would neither displease the master nor embarrass the guests.
Nangong Jing woman ordered someone to fill Lu Zhongxing: "Just ask Mr. Lu to punish yourself with three cups..."
Nangong Shunv left the main hall and went straight to the back garden but saw a familiar figure in the Huxin Pavilion - Qi Yan.
Yi Li should have avoided it, but she still walked over when she thought of Nangong Jingnu's emaciated appearance.
After crossing the small bridge that stretched to the center of the lake, Nangong Shunv came behind Qi Yan.
The pavilion in the center of the lake stands in the middle of the water. The lotus flowers that once bloomed have withered away, leaving only a plump lotus pod. The scenery is slightly reduced, but it is still a good place to talk.
Nangong Shu's vermilion lips lightly opened: "The flowers are worthy of being folded and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers and empty branches; the lotus flowers in this pond have already been defeated, what is my brother-in-law enjoying in the empty space?"
Qi Yan naturally heard the overtones of Nangong Shunv, she still put her hands behind her back, and replied lightly: "When the flowers are defeated, the autumn water is gleaming, and everyone in the world loves flowers. Yichen is very beautiful to see the water."
Nangong Shunv came to Qi Yan's side and followed Qi Yan's line of sight: "What's the use of this pool of stagnant water if there are no lotus flowers?"
Qi Yan raised her chin: "You can also raise fish."
Nangong Shunv was enraged: "You..."
Qi Yan turned her head at the right time, her amber eyes were as deep as water: "Zifei is not a fish, how can I know a fish?"
Nangong Shunv laughed angrily: "Are you saying that this palace is nosy?"
Qi Yan withdrew her gaze, still looking at the pool water under the pavilion: "I dare not."
"Do you still know 'the difference between rulers and ministers?' Jingnu she..."
Qi Yan interrupted Nangong Shunv's words: "I know that, so I don't dare to go half a step."
Nangong Shunv never thought that this gentle and polite person in front of her would actually use sophistry, her chest heaved slightly, and she suppressed the words of rebuke.
"Qi Yan, Ben Gong grew up watching Jing Nu, and I've never seen her as haggard as she is today! You ask yourself how she will marry and treat you when you go out? I hollowed it out for you! After a dozen carriages were not loaded, they sent government soldiers to carry them over with poles. The whole capital was talking about it! What about you? What did you give for her birthday? A piece of old ink, you think In the eyes of the public, did she ever blame you for half a sentence? She accepted it. Have you ever thought about what these imperial brothers would say to her when they returned to the mansion? You also said that you dare not go over half a step, this is not a humiliation What is it?"
