Fingers of crossing

Chapter 42

In the blink of an eye, it was March, and the snow in front of Zhaoling Hall had melted, and the palace people were cleaning the ice water in the front hall.

Qingfu came out of the front hall, and saw Jiang Ningzui standing under the peony tree in the courtyard, looking at the fragrance, the stamens on the tree were blooming one after another.

"Niang Niang." Qing Fu said lightly: "Mrs. Mei just sent someone to send a message, saying that she invites you to go and enjoy the flowers."

Jiang Ning turned her head drunk when she heard the sound, her black hair fluttered, and her clothes fluttered, awakening a drizzle of spring flowers in the world.She smiled shallowly, and said: "It seems that the queen mother pardoned her freedom in advance, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself, and she becomes more and more reckless."

Qingfu didn't dare to answer, she just raised her head and asked tentatively: "Then shall we go or not?"

"Of course I'm going." Jiang Ningzui's calm eyes sparkled with a smile, and she said with deep meaning: "No matter what, I'm curious about her purpose this time. Besides, the palace is boring, After all, she can spend some time by her company."

The voice froze, Jiang Ningzui suppressed the smile in her brows, and said calmly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do."

Qingfu always felt uneasy when she heard the words, she said worriedly: "Mother, Mrs. Mei has always been arrogant and domineering, relying on her young son to run amok in the East Palace. Although the Eldest Princess punished Mrs. Mei for you last time, it is inevitable She will get revenge in her heart, let's avoid it..."

Jiang Ningzui chuckled lightly, "Is she really willing to let me go after hiding for a lifetime?"

Even so, Qingfu's heart was still restless, she frowned deeply and looked at Jiang Ningzui, hesitating to speak.

In the early spring of March, the flowers and plants in the East Palace, which had been sleeping for a winter, woke up one after another, sprouting and sprouting. The water in the rockery pool in the garden was carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. The willows echo each other, reflecting the picturesque beauty of the garden.Step by step, it is like a picture scroll slowly unfolding from the front.

When Jiang Ningzui came to the garden, she saw that there were already two beauties sitting in the pavilion, and the palace maids surrounded them, serving tea respectfully, occasionally someone whispered something, which caused a burst of laughter during the banquet, It looked extremely lively.

After stopping to watch for a while, Jiang Ningzui climbed up the steps, and as soon as she stepped into the pavilion, Liu Huanxue immediately turned her head to look over, stood up with a smile to greet her.

"elder sister."

After bowing politely, Liu Huanxue stepped aside and said, "Come and sit down."

Jiang Ningzui nodded, and was about to speak when Yang Simi, who was sitting, stood up first, and saluted, "I have seen the princess before."

"Get up."

Yang Simei stood up, her charming face was no longer domineering and domineering, she smiled decently. "The weather is fine today, it's rare that the Crown Princess is willing to show her face."

"It's nothing." Jiang Ningzui walked to the stone table and sat down, and said with a smile, "You all come and sit down."

After Jiang Ningzui finished speaking, she lowered her head and sipped her tea leisurely, not paying attention to Yang Simei at all.Seeing all this silently, Yang Simi couldn't hide her anger, but she had suffered from Jiang Ningzui after all, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous right now.Reining in herself, Yang Simei smiled coquettishly and took a few steps forward, and sat down according to Jiang Ningzui's words.

In the past, although the Crown Princess was the Crown Prince's main concubine, she handled things carefully and had a weak temper, so naturally she never put on airs in front of anyone in the East Palace. It's very different, just looking at it like this, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart.

Thinking about it, Yang Simei glanced at Jiang Ningzui from the corner of her head, pretending to be inadvertently said: "I heard that the eldest princess was assassinated at the reception banquet for King Wu last time, and her injuries have been repeated. Recently, even the early court was delayed. I don't know if it's because of the injury?"

Liu Huanxue was drinking tea with her head bowed at this time. When she heard Yang Simei's words, her eyes darkened, and then she was about to hold Yang Simei to stop her, when Jiang Ningzui, who was opposite her, had already put down her teacup, squinted her eyes slightly to look at Yang Simei, and said, "Long! How about the injury of the princess, can you speculate arbitrarily?"

Yang Simei's words were just to break the deadlock. Hearing Jiang Ningzui's hidden cold tone, she was startled, and quickly said: "I don't dare, but I just care about the eldest princess's body." Looking at Jiang Ningzui's silent appearance, she couldn't help saying: "However, I heard that during the Lantern Festival half a month ago, the Eldest Princess took the Crown Princess out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, so there must be nothing serious."

This question is a bit deliberate.Jiang Ningzui chuckled a few times, looked at Yang Simei with cold eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Madam Mei knows a lot."

When Jiang Ningzui said this, Liu Huanxue also laughed, but unfortunately Yang Simai couldn't understand the meaning of their smiles, and only found it harsh.

Inexplicably sneered, Yang Simi couldn't hold back her face, and didn't say anything more, she drank her tea in a muffled voice with her head down.

The three of them looked at each other silently for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed dull and boring. Jiang Ningzui also became a little impatient, holding the stove in her arms, looked around, then looked sideways at Liu Huanxue, and said: "Why is it today?" Haven't seen the pool guard?"

Hearing this, Liu Huanxue raised her head and smiled brightly: "Mrs. Mei and I were afraid that the little prince would disturb my sister, so we asked Chi Wei to accompany the little prince to play in the outer courtyard."

"So that's it." Jiang Ningzui smiled, got up and said, "I miss Xiao Shizi a little bit, you sit down for now, I'll go and see him."

Hearing what Jiang Ningzui said, Yang Simi was naturally not at ease, but it's a pity that they are different in status, and they couldn't come forward to stop them, so they could only worry secretly.Seeing Jiang Ningzui walking away, Yang Simi quickly cast a look at the maid Cheng Xiang who was behind her, Cheng Xiang nodded knowingly, turned around and followed her.

"Your master hasn't left yet, why are you, a slave, so anxious to leave?" Liu Huanxue lowered her head and blew on the mist of hot tea, her face was hidden in the mist, so she couldn't see clearly.As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yang Simi with a gloomy expression, but said to Cheng Xiang: "Hurry up and pour tea for your master."

Cheng Xiang stopped in her tracks, not daring to go any further. She looked back at Yang Simi in fear, then peeked at Liu Huanxue, and finally said tremblingly, "Yes."

Yang Simei stared at Liu Huanxue fiercely, gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "I have no grievances with my side concubine, why are you blocking my way today?"

Liu Huanxue put down the cup in her hand, Yingying's eyes were full of freezing coldness, and she smiled coldly: "I have no intention of participating in the matter between you and sister, but Chi Wei is mine."

Therefore, no one can cast calculating eyes on her.

Yang Simei read out the half of Liu Huanxue's unspoken sentence, she immediately sank down, took a sip of hot tea in resentment, and did not speak again.

Turning around the rockery, Jiang Ningzui came to the pool, and saw Xiao Shizi standing on the arch bridge feeding the koi in the pool, the maids in twos and threes were carefully serving him, and hurriedly handed him fish food.Xiao Shizi was having fun, laughing crisply from time to time, and the whole pond was filled with life.

Not far away, Chi Wei embraced her chest with her arms around her chest, leaning against the willow tree in a daze, her figure was like a fairy, exuding a little chic taste, and the wind blew up her clothes, making her look even more beautiful dust.Jiang Ningzui turned and walked towards her. As soon as she took a step, she noticed Jiang Ningzui's existence and turned her head to look over.

"This subordinate pays homage to the Crown Princess."

After waving Chi Wei to get up, Jiang Ningzui walked to her side and said, "There is no need to be polite."

Xiao Shizi's laughter came to his ears from time to time, Jiang Ningzui originally wanted to come and see him, but seeing him playing so happily now, she couldn't bear to bother her.It's funny to think about it. It's also in the garden. There is a lot of intrigue in the garden, but there is a rare joy in the pool outside the garden.

The cold wind was blowing, the willows in front of him were blowing and swaying with the wind, Jiang Ningzui squinted and looked at the scenery in front of him, the clouds were like brocade, flowers and plants were sprouting, and there was a vigorous spring.

"Every night in the middle of the Hai hour, I can always hear a flute sound, sometimes melodious, sometimes melodious. It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to ask Chi Huwei personally, what is that song?"

Chi Wei looked sideways at Jiang Ningzui, and did not deny it, and said frankly: "It's just a piece I learned in the theater when I was young, and I don't know the name."

Jiang Ningzui was a little surprised, "Have you ever stayed in a theater?"

Chi Wei nodded, as if she didn't want to talk more, she lightly smiled and brought up the topic, "I didn't expect the princess to be a late sleeper too."

When Jiang Ningzui heard the words, she looked over Chi Wei's face, and the two looked at each other, exchanging a tacit look.

"In that case," Jiang Ningzui smiled coldly, with a smile on her face, and a bit of softness in her brows and eyes. "Why don't we have a drink tonight?"

The moon was above the treetops, and Zhaoling Hall was still deserted and quiet.

After retreating a group of palace attendants, Jiang Ningzui sat alone in front of the dressing table, looking around, only she and the candlelight stared at each other in the huge palace, and the empty hall was so quiet that there was no sound.

Late at night is the most disturbing time, all the thoughts in the bottom of my heart have no place to hide at this moment, Jiang Ningzui picked up the golden phoenix hairpin in the dressing box on the table, pinched it on her fingertips and looked at it carefully, as if she felt that she was a little Ridiculous, she silently put down the hairpin in her hand, got up and walked into the hall.

Yan Yilan's life or death has nothing to do with her.She knew it clearly, but when she heard Yang Simei's words in the morning, her heart would still be agitated, and her heart would be aching and depressed over and over again because of a name. No matter how calm and calm she was on the surface, she couldn't deceive herself about the fall in her heart.

After recovering from the meaningless thoughts, Jiang Ningzui brushed away the heavy curtains in front of her eyes, and suddenly saw the door of the main hall being pushed open, Chi Zhu walked in eagerly, her face was pale, and her body trembled as if it would shatter at any moment .

"Your Majesty." Chi Zhu said, her body had already collapsed one step at a time. She managed to maintain her posture and crawled on the ground, panicked and said: "Just now there was news from Fengyi Palace that the Eldest Princess is in critical condition. It's tonight."
