Song Jinning's eyes wandered back and forth between Li Chengxuan standing in front of her and Jiang Wanqiu kneeling on the ground.
I didn't expect that the first meeting between the hero and heroine in the original book would be such a scene.
But why is there no such thing as the legendary dry wood, raging fire, sky thunder, fire, and fire splashing all over the place
Li Chengxuan looked coldly. And he didn't recognize Jiang Wanqiu at first sight, he turned his head slightly and looked at Song Jinning questioningly.
Obviously waiting for her to tell who this woman is.
Song Jinning: ...
This is the peerless CP who you swore to protect for the rest of your life, for which you would rather abolish the empress and contradict the empress dowager to disperse the harem, regardless of the courtiers' opposition, a pair of people for life! !
So you were so indifferent the first time you saw her? Shouldn't I show the shocked and amazed look I've seen on this younger sister
Song Jinning raised her hand to support her forehead. Then she told Li Chengxuan: "This is Princess Fu."
As for the rest, you can experience it yourself. Because this girl is not interested in being a matchmaker and matching people up.
Li Chengxuan has heard of Princess Fu more than once, but it is indeed the first time to meet her.
Curious about her talented woman's name, Li Chengxuan looked her up.
As a result, after looking at it, he frowned slightly.
Not to mention the difference between men and women, but whoever bows down to him is not respectful, and dare not even look at him. But this Concubine Fu is good. Although she is kneeling, her back is straight and her eyes are looking straight at him.
Li Chengxuan couldn't tell the emotion in her eyes, but he didn't bother to tell.
As an emperor, he didn't like people looking at him with such straight eyes. Because in his opinion, it means disrespect to him.
But for the sake of Jiang Wanqiu being Princess Fu and his second sister-in-law, Li Chengxuan didn't care about it, and just said lightly: "Normal."
As he spoke, he stopped talking and walked forward.
Both Song Jinning and Jiang Wanqiu were shocked.
What surprised Song Jinning was, good guy, the first time I met Li Chengxuan, you dare to be so indifferent to your only true love in the future! Be careful that in the future when you are together, if she pursues what happened today, she will directly let you serve on the washboard.
What surprised Jiang Wanqiu was, what happened? Obviously according to the foreshadowing dream she had that night, Li Chengxuan should have fallen in love with her at first sight when he saw her. But why did he just look at her and leave now. Not only did he not have the slightest nostalgia for her, but his attitude was extremely cold.
Jiang Wanqiu has often entered the palace since having that dream that night.
It was obvious that he was entering the palace to serve Concubine Wei, but the drunken man didn't want to drink, but actually wanted to see Li Chengxuan.
But Li Chengxuan, as the emperor, surrounded by a large circle of servants and guards, could she see it whenever she wanted to? Moreover, the traces of Li Chengxuan's activities are by no means something that she, a married woman, can know, so after one or two months, she didn't even have the chance to see Li Chengxuan from a distance.
Now that they have finally met here, Jiang Wanqiu's heart is pounding with excitement.
So even though she knelt down, her upper body was still straight, and she looked directly at Li Chengxuan, hoping that he could see her face clearly.
But there was no surprise and obsession as expected, only indifference and alienation.
In the end, he lifted his foot and was about to leave.
How could Jiang Wanqiu be willing to return in vain, she hurriedly turned around and called out to Li Chengxuan's back, "Your Majesty."
His voice trembled slightly, with haste and eagerness, Li Chengxuan frowned even more tightly.
After a pause, he still stopped, turned slightly sideways, and asked in a somewhat impatient tone: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Wanqiu was suffocated.
What can she do? It's nothing more than hoping that he can stop for her, see her in his eyes, put her in his heart, and pull her into the quagmire where she appeared.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Chengxuan naturally stood there waiting impatiently. Immediately, he decisively lifted his foot and walked forward.
Song Jinning, on the other hand, still stood there without moving. He looked at Li Chengxuan's back, and at Jiang Wanqiu who was still kneeling on the ground.
Still the same sentence, she is not interested in being a matchmaker and matching people up.
But she didn't have the leisure or bad taste to destroy all the emotional entanglements between these two people.
In a word, she is just a passer-by, a spectator, and she can just live her own life leisurely, and she can't arouse that interest in other things.
As for why the two met like this today, Song Jinning thought for a while, and seemed to understand a little bit.
Because in the original book, she remembered that the first time the two met was at the palace banquet of the Empress Dowager Song on the Qianqiu Festival.
At that time, Jiang Wanqiu performed a song on stage, which amazed everyone.
It is said that music is the voice of the heart, presumably Li Chengxuan is also very proficient in this, so he immediately heard Jiang Wanqiu's depression and depression, and then he started to pay attention to her.
With this attention, I found that the other party was Xiuwai Huizhong, didn't he fall soon
As for now, in terms of appearance alone, although Jiang Wanqiu was indeed born elegant and soft, but to be honest, she is not as good as Wei Taifei. Otherwise, Concubine Wei would not have been the late Emperor's favorite concubine for so many years.
And Li Chengxuan grew up in the court since he was a child, what kind of beauty has he never seen? It is indeed a bit difficult for Jiang Wanqiu to make him fall in love with just her looks.
But it doesn't matter, it will be the Empress Dowager Song's Thousand Autumn Festival in a few months, so Princess Fu, you don't need to look sad now, and you will be able to rise to the top soon.
Song Jinning also raised her foot and walked forward. After walking for a while, I was surprised to see Li Chengxuan standing not far in front with his hands behind his back.
Beside him is the vermilion palace wall. On the top of the head is a plum branch protruding from the side yard, with greengages the size of pigeon eggs growing among the luxuriant leaves.
Song Jinning walked over, stopped by his side, put her hands together, and looked up at the plum tree.
She didn't ask Li Chengxuan why he stopped here and didn't leave, after all, he couldn't wait for her here on purpose. She thinks that although the relationship between the two of them has improved recently, it is not so good.
"The plums are ripe. You can make plum jam or make plum wine."
Lee Seung-sun: ...
How can this person think of eating anything he sees? Can't think of something constructive about life's ideals and righteousness
"When the plum sauce and plum wine are ready, Your Majesty will come over to eat and drink together."
"good."
Li Chengxuan answered quickly. I felt a little uncomfortable and thought with some relief, hmph, it's not in vain that I stood here dryly waiting for you for so long.
The two continued to walk forward.
Regarding the matter of meeting Jiang Wanqiu just now, Li Chengxuan didn't mention it, and Song Jinning didn't mention it either, as if there was no such episode at all.
When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, Song Jinning changed into a homely dress under the service of Gu Yu and Han Lu.
Although Song Jinning is a person who is used to being idle and hates trouble, according to what Gu Yu said, you are now the empress after all, and you can dress casually in your own palace, but when you leave the palace, you are not allowed to carry some motherly gifts to the world manners
You ask me how should I behave like this? Haven't you heard a word? People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles! You have to dress gorgeously so that people will not dare to look at you when they see you. Only in this way can you show your dignity and majesty.
Song Jinning: ...
If she doesn't agree, Gu Yu's mouth can nagging her to death. What else can I do? I have to obey.
But when she returned to Weiyang Palace, she would immediately change into light, homely clothes.
As for the jewelry on the head, all the jewelry should be taken off.
Now watching from the bronze mirror, Gu Yu took off all the bangles, pearls, hairpins, etc. from her head, untied her cumbersome bun and combed her hair with a mahogany comb, She immediately opened her mouth to stop Gu Yu's next move.
"Don't wear your hair in a bun, just let it loose like this, it's good."
There was a sudden thunder in the middle of the night last night. After she was awakened, she was disturbed by the sound of rain outside the house and couldn't sleep well. She woke up early this morning and felt very sleepy.
It was so easy to go to the Empress Dowager Song's place and order a dick to come back. She will definitely take a rest later.
That being the case, what kind of bun is there? Even when she was lying down, the back of her head felt uncomfortable because of her bun.
Gu Yu also wanted to persuade: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here with us, so you..."
"Even if he is here, isn't he just watching the memorial in Dongshao? I won't go there, I just stay in Xici's room. I won't have much face-to-face with him. What are you afraid of?"
Song Jinning raised her hand to cover her lips, yawned a little, and said in a very indifferent tone, "Are you afraid that he will scold me for being rude because of my hair?"
Gu Yu thought to himself, it means that His Majesty usually behaves casually in front of you, so you are not afraid of him. She has heard these days that His Majesty was decisive when he was in the previous court. It is said that someone secretly nicknamed His Majesty, the cold-faced king.
Song Jinning had already stood up and went to Xici Room.
He asked Gu Yu to bring her a book, and she leaned on the big pillow behind her, reading it time after time.
"Tell someone to go to the small kitchen and tell me that I don't have much appetite today, let them make some light dishes for dinner."
Gu Yu agreed, turned around and went to the small kitchen to deliver the message.
Song Jinning continued to stare at the book in his hand in a split second. Gradually, I felt that the words in front of me became more and more blurred, and finally I tilted my body and fell asleep.
Li Chengxuan was optimistic about the memorial, and when he got up and walked out of Dongshaojian, he met Gu Yu who had just returned from the small kitchen.
"Where is the queen?"
Song Jinning was nowhere to be seen, so Li Chengxuan asked.
Gu Yu hurriedly bowed his knees to salute, and at the same time replied: "Your Majesty is reading in Xici Room."
Li Chengxuan has now accepted the fact that Song Jinning is likely to be well-read, because the Dongshao Room where he was just now is obviously Song Jinning's study.
Leilei was a collection of books on the bookshelf. He looked through them and found that there were quite a variety of them.
Knowing Song Jinning's whereabouts, Li Chengxuan walked westward in an unhurried manner.
The Xici room was not separated from the open space by a green gauze cabinet, but only a floor-to-ceiling flower cover carved with grape vines.
However, there is a light purple veil hanging behind the flower cover. If the veil is lowered, people in the open room will not be able to clearly see the scene in Xici's room.
Now these veils are not put down, but rolled up and pulled in the hooks, so Li Chengxuan went directly into Xici's room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Song Jinning leaning on the backrest and falling asleep with his eyes closed, and the scroll in his hand fell on the couch.
Li Chengxuan was a little surprised.
There are two surprises.
One is that there is no one in the Xici Room, and the other is that the way Song Jinning dozed off makes him feel a little cute.
