Facts have proved that Song Jinning's wish failed again.
Because after Song Jinning finished saying this, Li Chengxuan, who had been sitting close to a statue without even moving his neck, turned his head and gave her a condescending look.
Then he said in a tone of pride and grace: "Since the empress begs so much, then I will reluctantly stay here for dinner."
Song Jinning: ...
Song Jinning's throat was stuffed with a mouthful of old blood.
Can't help it! I really want to give this person a knife.
Thinking over and over again in his heart that killing the king would kill the nine clans, Song Jinning turned around and ordered Bai Lu to set the meal.
The meals are naturally made in the small kitchen of Weiyang Palace. Because it is dinner, the dishes are mainly light.
Li Chengxuan, who is used to eating luxurious food, suddenly saw the green eyes, and only suspected that Song Jinning was feeding him as a rabbit.
So she must have done it on purpose
Song Jinning took the hot silk scarf that Gu Yu handed over, wiped her hands, and looked at Li Chengxuan with a smile.
"The concubine didn't know that His Majesty would come over for dinner today, so she never told the dining room to prepare more meals. I hope His Majesty will not be offended."
So get out of here after this meal, and don't come here again.
Seeing the insincere smile on her face, Li Chengxuan once again confirmed that Song Jinning must have done it on purpose.
Deliberately treating him as a rabbit, trying to fool him with these dishes.
But how could he easily admit defeat
He took the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smirk: "The meat I have eaten recently is too heavy, and I want to eat something light. The queen's arrangement is exactly what I want."
Song Jinning clenched the chopsticks in her hand.
So this person must have done it on purpose, right? Said these words on purpose to disgust her, to make her angry!
She will not be angry! As the saying goes, don't get angry, don't get angry, there is no one to replace you when you get sick.
I recited the mantra of not getting angry silently in my heart, and my mood was successfully calmed down. Very good, bow your head and eat.
Eating and sleeping without talking, just so I don't have to talk to this person for the time being.
Zhou Jing, who had been standing by the side and waited, watched the two 'fighting skills' and wanted to help his forehead.
Your Majesty, you were very calm when you were in court, but why do you feel that you were so naive just now
This is not in line with your usual style!
But the thing that made Zhou Jing want to help his forehead again soon came again.
Because he found that his majesty actually ate an extra bowl of rice than usual!
Could it be that His Majesty is the one who disliked this table just now
Zhou Jing was startled for a long time, and he couldn't help but glance at Song Jinning out of the corner of his eye.
Song Jinning had already eaten, and was rinsing her mouth with the tea that Gu Yu handed over.
Zhou Jing had been serving Li Chengxuan in the early years, so he was fortunate to see Song Jinning's arrogant and domineering appearance when he was a child, and he didn't know etiquette.
But now Song Jinning's gestures are completely different from when she was a child. It is an exaggeration to say that there is no difference between the two.
Selfishly speaking, the current Song Jinning is still worthy of the four words "Mother Yi Tianxia"...
The maid came up to remove the dishes, Li Chengxuan walked up to the short red sandalwood couch and sat down.
Originally, Song Jinning would walk back and forth in the courtyard for a few laps to digest every time after dinner, but now that Li Chengxuan was here, he had to give up.
Sitting down in the chair, Gu Yu served the tea, Song Jinning took the gaiwan and drank the tea slowly with downcast eyes.
I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if everyone doesn't talk about it. Hmph, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, she won't be the embarrassing person.
After taking two sips of tea, Song Jinning put down the gaiwan and turned to look outside the door.
The twilight is all together, and the lights and candles in the corridor are shining brightly. Occasionally, when the wind blows, the leaves of the pear tree in the courtyard shake.
Spring breeze is good. Even if it's the night wind, it doesn't blow the face cold, and it even has a faint scent of unknown flowers.
As the saying goes, good wind relies on strength, and spring is really a good time to release paper kites.
But it seems that there are no paper kites in her palace. But it doesn't matter, let the palace maid go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow, and take two.
Maybe you can ask the Queen Mother Song and Princess Jingle to play it together
It's just that there are majestic palaces everywhere in this palace, and the trees in the imperial garden are verdant. Where can I find an open space suitable for putting paper kites
Song Jinning was so engrossed in thinking about these things that she didn't have the time to pay attention to Li Chengxuan.
As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, when has Li Chengxuan been so indifferently ignored? He was about to get up and leave with a flick of his sleeves, but thinking about the Empress Dowager Song, he continued to sit with a calm face.
But it's definitely not a problem for two people to sit like this all the time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Song Jinning was distracted and had reached the state of forgetting both things and me. Li Chengxuan's original impulse to speak up faded away.
Don't forget that Song Jinning didn't hear him at all, she would only come back to her senses after he repeated it two or three times. How embarrassing he would be if that was the case.
Call Zhou Jing: "Bring me a book and show it to me."
At that time, Song Jinning was distracted, he was reading, and there was no need to communicate with each other. Even if the Empress Dowager Song knew that the two of them got along like this, she would have nothing to say.
After hearing this order, Zhou Jing thought to himself, my grandfather! Why didn't you say it earlier
As long as you said something earlier, I would definitely ask someone to bring a few books with them. But now you have given this command fiercely, are you asking me to go to the Imperial Study Room to fetch books for you now
The Imperial Study Room is quite a distance from here, even if you have to run, it would take at least a stick of incense to come and go, right
By then, I guess you and the empress should have rested, right? What books do you still read
Quite hesitant.
If you want to open your mouth and ask if there are any books in Weiyang Palace, take one and show it to His Majesty. But thinking about Song Jinning's reputation of being unlearned and inexperienced in the palace...
Don't let Song Jinning mistakenly think that he said this on purpose to mock her, it would be bad.
Although Song Jinning was distracted, she still heard what Li Chengxuan said.
Without him, the main reason is that Li Chengxuan's voice is actually quite nice.
It's not a subwoofer that can break a human leg, but it's very clear. Even though he was pretending to be old-fashioned, he could still hear a youthful spirit in it.
As for the books, Song Jinning definitely has them, but she is not willing to borrow them.
Because she cherishes every book she owns very much, and she doesn't want to lend it to anyone except her close relatives.
So just pretend you didn't hear it, and continue to look out the door.
Not far behind her stood Bai Lu and Gu Yu.
Bai Lu is fine, with her usual calm and indifferent face, but Gu Yu is different.
Even though she knew that Song Jinning didn't like to lend her books to others, but now that Li Chengxuan and her are husband and wife, shouldn't they be counted as outsiders
Moreover, Gu Yu watched Song Jinning and Li Chengxuan get along with each other in the past few days, and was really worried about her.
So he gritted his teeth, Gu Yu took two steps forward, and bowed his knees to Li Chengxuan's short body.
Then she asked: "Your Majesty has a rich collection of books. I wonder what books Your Majesty would like to read? Wait for your servant to fetch them for you."
So Your Majesty, our empress' knowledge is actually very good. You must not listen to those rumors outside, and then treat my mother coldly.
As soon as she said this, Song Jinning glanced at her, while Li Chengxuan looked at Song Jinning.
Song Jinning looked at Gu Yu because, good guy, you dare to lend my book to others without my consent
As for the reason why Li Chengxuan looked at Song Jinning, it was because he was very surprised.
She even has a collection of books? Could it be that in the past seven years, she really changed her temperament and became eager to learn
It's a pity that the impression Song Jinning left on him in the past few years was really bad, so Li Chengxuan quickly scoffed at it.
Presumably, even if she has some books, they are just arty and deceptive, so she must have never read them.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
It's just boring to sit here, so Li Chengxuan said flatly: "Then get a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"."
Gu Yu answered yes, turned around and retreated.
After a while, he turned around, holding several books in both hands, all of which were "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Apparently he was asked to read any one of them by himself.
Li Chengxuan turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing understood, went to take the book from Gu Yu, and turned around to present it to Li Chengxuan.
It is said that "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is the book of the emperor, Li Chengxuan originally did not expect Song Jinning Palace to have this.
He thought that even though Song Jinning got some books to decorate the appearance, they must be just some common books. The reason why I say this is actually out of embarrassment.
But I didn't expect that the maid turned around and went to fetch it.
It seems that the king of Nanyang County is really not short of money, even such scrolls are collected for his daughter to be arty.
Li Chengxuan snorted softly, and took the last volume from Zhou Jing's hand to read.
The cover looks brand new.
really. Presumably this book has been sitting idle on the shelf since Song Jinning's place. She hasn't read it at all, right
However, what shocked him was that when he opened the book, he saw some notes in it.
The handsome font is obviously from the hand of a woman.
Flipping back, I found a golden ginkgo leaf.
It must have been clipped in a book and used as a bookmark.
So Song Jinning not only read the "Tongjian of Zizhi", but even read the last volume...
Li Chengxuan was surprised, and involuntarily raised his eyes to look at Song Jinning.
Seeing that Song Jinning was calling Gu Yu over, she also took a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in her hand and opened it. Apparently he had the same idea.
As long as you read the book, you don't need to talk to him anymore. It saves trouble and worry.
Li Chengxuan didn't want to pay attention to Song Jinning at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back, he picked up the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his hand with two fingers and asked.
"Have you read this book?"
