Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Mistaking the sound of warblers for the cry of geese

Qi Yan's warm breath hit Nangong Jingnv's head. Nangong Jingnv nestled in Qi Yan's arms obediently, with her forehead resting on her shoulder and her hands on her flat chest.

This was the first intimate contact between them since they got married. Nangong Jingnu felt her heart was beating very fast, and she could hear every beat clearly.

I couldn't help but feel shy: at such a close distance, could he also hear it?

Suddenly, Nangong Jingnv's breathing stagnated, and her body tensed up.

Qi Yan was keenly aware: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv moved her body, Qi Yan let go of her embrace.

"Qi Yan..."

"The minister is here."

"I……"

……

"I have a question for you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Nangong Jingnu took a deep breath, and her heart sank: "Do you still have your second sister in your heart?"

Hearing this question, Qi Yan was confused and didn't answer.

But this brief silence fell into Nangong Jingnu's ears with a different feeling, her eye sockets became hot again: Sure enough!A beautiful and gentle woman like the second sister, no one will forget it!

Nangong Jingnv turned her back, this time it was Qi Yan who pushed her back, and called out softly, "Your Highness, why..."

"Do not touch me!"

"Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv forced herself to bear it: "Second sister is dignified and polite, full of talent, even if I flatter you, I can't keep up..."

"Why did Your Highness say that? What does the second princess's kindness have to do with the minister?"

Nangong Jingnv turned around, raised her leg and kicked Qi Yan: "How can it be irrelevant?"

Qi Yan groaned in pain, Nangong Jingnv knew that she didn't control the strength of this kick well, and felt a little regretful.

Qi Yan touched Nangong Jingnv's forearm gropingly, took her hand down, and asked: "I really don't understand what your Highness asked just now."

"You still say! Bengong asked you, are you a shepherd layman?"

"...Yes, because I was too shy before the exam, I was forced to sell writing for a living."

"Then what else is there to say?"

Nangong Jingnu wanted to break free, but Qi Yan tightened her grip first: "What does Kechen's pseudonym have to do with His Highness the Second Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv recited fluently: "It's raining in the willows and willows, and the spring is in the dark. Lou'er is too young to hide her sorrows. She went to find the boat with Yunfei several times. The sky is pity for Guanyuan, the hometown of Kezi. The flowers make me sad. Begonias are red and green, and the vermilion curtains are just rolled up, but the wind is cold at night...Did you write it?"

"It is indeed the work of the minister in the past, how did His Highness know?"

Nangong Jingnv was heartbroken and disappointed: How can Qi Yan still pretend to be innocent after the matter has come to this?Could it be that the second sister entrusted her to someone else?

Qi Yan held Nangong Jingnv's hand tightly: "Your Highness, we must make this matter clear. I have no personal relationship with the second princess."

"Oh, what a selfless love! The second sister went out of the house in disguise in the fall of the year before last, and when she came back, she hid a folding fan in her sleeve. It was this poem that was mentioned on the fan, and the handwriting on it was exactly the same as the calligraphy of 'Shepherd Layman'. The second sister regards this fan as a treasure, and then we went to the study. The second sister saw the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" sticker you wrote, and her eyes were different! My second sister and I grew up together since we were young. Her temperament is reserved and reserved, and she would never show it on her face if she didn't like it to the extreme. Also, on the day when Sanjia paraded through the streets, my second sister and I stood in the private room of a teahouse by the street, and she kept looking at you! You can say all of this It's all second sister's wishful thinking, but you didn't send that folding fan?"

Qi Yan suddenly realized that he never thought that the fans he sent to befriend Gong Yanghuai would lead to such a confusing case.

"Your Highness, can you listen to my minister?"

"……Say."

"It's a long story, Rong Chen will tell His Highness a story."

……

In the fourth year of Jingjia's reign, I went to Yunzhou to take part in the child birth test according to my teacher's will, and met a rebellious young man there.

I hit it off with him and it was the same year. After the exam, he invited me to Zuibailou for a little reunion.

Because the examiner had read Chen's paper in the examination room, he casually praised Chen for his good handwriting, and the young man listened to it, so he asked me to write a few words to read.The minister wrote down this little order that was inspired by his travels, but the young man liked it very much after reading it, so he took out a white paper fan and asked the minister to give him another fan while the remaining ink was still wet.

After that, the boy took off the jade pendant around his waist and gave it to the minister, and agreed that if he could break into Chunwei, he must go to the capital to find him.

When I went to visit the mansion in the capital, I was told: that young man is not in the mansion...

We didn’t meet until the day of the examination, but he said to Chen: I attended the poetry meeting a few days ago and left behind the folding fan that Youchen inscribed...

Nangong Jingnv was astonished. Could it be that the second sister likes someone else?I have always misunderstood Qi Yan and the second sister?

"...Who is that person you're talking about?"

"Gongyang Huai, the second son of Lord Gongyang, Minister of Zongzheng Temple."

"what!"

Qi Yanyu said earnestly: "Your Highness, think about it, this minister has just arrived, besides Baishi, who has no old acquaintances in the capital, and is an unknown person, how could someone invite me to participate in the poetry meeting?"

"Did the second sister admit the wrong person?"

"I think so."

"Isn't it you that the second sister saw on the street that day?"

Qi Yan sighed lightly: "Baishi was selected as the second place in the list and he was right in front of the minister. Besides, that day was the first time I rode a horse in my life. I almost fell off the horse several times, and finally had to lie on the horse's back and dare not move. This matter The matter has become a joke among the people in the capital and classmates, if the Second Highness sees the real minister, he must lose all goodwill."

"That is to say... the second sister picked up the folding fan of Gongyanghuai and thought it was written by him, and that the shepherd layman is Gongyanghuai?"

"perhaps."

"really?"

"Don't dare to lie to His Highness, if His Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask Baishi."

A warm current like sugar and honey permeated Nangong Jingnv's heart, and she silently burst into a big smile in the darkness, which dazzled Qi Yan's eyes.

The heavy burden that had been pressing on my heart was lifted, and many emotions that were suppressed below poured out uncontrollably.

Obviously there was still a bright smile on his face, but relying on Qi Yan's "can't see at night", he pretended to be serious and said: "So, um... I guess I blamed you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, Li Yuandao prepared two quilts for the West Wing, Nangong Jingnv pulled a quilt to cover her body, the curve of her mouth wrapped around her body did not disappear for a long time.

There was no dream all night, and before dawn the next day, everyone was already fully dressed, waiting for Nangong Rang's order to continue on their way.

Nangong Jingnv sent Qi Yan to the side of the carriage, and told Qiu Ju to help him up in a while before walking forward.

Nangong Rang appeared in front of the emperor with the help of Sijiu. Seeing Nangong Jingnv, she smiled and said, "Why is my son here? Is it because your carriage is uncomfortable and you want to ride in the emperor's seat?"

Nangong Jingnv saluted lightly, and today she was in a better mood and her smile became sweeter: "I have something I want to discuss with my father."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"I want to ask my father to make an order so that the people in the prefectures along the way will not be greeted by the people."

As soon as the words came out, everyone cast their eyes on Nangong Jingnv, wondering what amazing words this pampered and charming Highness Zhen Zhen would say.

Only Nangong Rang's expression remained unchanged, he looked at his daughter lovingly, and continued to ask, "Can my son tell Father the reason?"

Nangong Jingnv sorted out her words in her belly, and replied crisply: "Father, I was very pleased to see the common people in the carriage yesterday, but I also saw some common people kneeling and shivering in the cold wind. Recently, there have been several snowfalls along the road. The snow melted during the day and turned into ice in the evening. The people knelt on the thin ice and blew the cold wind for half a day. go……"

"Hahahahaha!" Nangong Rang raised his head and laughed, then turned to look at the speaker next to him: "Did you see it?"

"Yes."

"Make a serious note of this matter."

"The minister obeys the order."

With smiles in his eyes, Nangong Rang said happily, "My son has grown up."

"Thank you, Father."

"Fourty nine."

"The slave is here."

"Immediately follow what Princess Zhenzhen said, and draw up a decree for people to ride fast horses and deliver the decree along the way."

"According to the order."

A group of officials also echoed and said some words of praise. Nangong Rang took Nangong Jingnv's arm and said, "There will be bumps along the way, my son, come on the carriage of Emperor Father."

However, Nangong Jingnv twitched: "Father... I just need to ride in my own carriage." She still wants to tell Qi Yan about this!

"Okay then, let's go!"

"Yes."

Nangong Jingnv returned to the carriage with brisk steps, and drove away as soon as she sat firmly in the carriage.

"Qi Yan!"

"Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu said hastily: "Father has agreed to this palace's proposal, and has decreed that the people along the way will be exempted from kneeling to greet them."

Qi Yan smiled calmly: "I thank Your Highness on behalf of the people along the way."

"Hey."

After the excitement passed, Nangong Jingnu showed fatigue on her face.

No wonder, she is still young and goes out very often, so she should be tired after tossing around for two days.

Qi Yan took the cushion and sat next to Nangong Jingnu, and put the cushion behind her: "Your Highness, lean against the minister and take a nap."

"Well, Ben Gong is a little bit of a bed..."

"Go to sleep."

Nangong Jingnv leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder and soon fell asleep.

Girls in this age group are snoozing, so Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnv's shoulders to avoid jolting.

But this position was also uncomfortable, and after a while Nangong Jingnu hummed uncomfortably, slid across Qi Yan's shoulder and directly pillowed on her lap.

Qi Yan looked down at Nangong Jingnv for a long time, lifted her legs to the seat, took the fox fur cloak folded behind her and covered her body.

At noon, Nangong asked to bury the stove and cook for a while to rest.

Nangong Shunv spent several hours with Lu Zhongxing, feeling like she was about to suffocate.

After finally taking the lunch break, she immediately got out of the carriage and walked towards Nangong Jingnv's carriage carrying the hem of the palace dress.

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju, who were guarding outside the carriage, greeted and said: "See Your Highness Zhuo Hua."

"What about your Highness?"

"In the carriage."

Nangong Shunv stepped onto the carriage, and when she pushed open the door, what came into view was: Qi Yan was reading a book with a book in his hand, while Nangong Jingnv was sleeping on the other's lap, covered with a fox-fur cloak. sweet.

A cushion was dropped in the carriage and no one picked it up, but it revealed an inexplicable bland warmth.

Qi Yan turned her head and called out in a low voice: "Second Sister."

A ray of sunlight hit Nangong Jingnu's face, she frowned and let out a "tsk".Qi Yan naturally unfolded the scroll in his hand to cover Nangong Jingnv's head, and called softly, "Your Highness?"

Nangong Shunv stared blankly at the two people who were staying together silently, thinking of her own situation, her heart was full of pain, and she was in a dilemma.

"His Highness, wake up, Second Sister is here."

"Hmm." Nangong Jingnv rubbed her eyes and sat up, speaking in a lazy and soft tone, she called "Second Sister." Putting down her legs on the seat, she took Nangong Shunv's hand: "Second Sister, sit down. "

"When did the second sister come? Why did the carriage stop?"

Nangong Shunv suppressed her heart and said with a bitter smile: "It's noon, and the emperor ordered to take a rest. I came in a hurry to disturb my sister's rest..."

"No! I just didn't sleep well last night. I wanted to lean on the carriage to take a nap, but I slept for so long. Second sister sit down~"

Nangong Shunv first nodded to Qi Yan, and then sat down beside Nangong Jingnv.

Qi Yan closed the book, got up and sat opposite the two.

Nangong Jingnv rubbed her stomach: "Second Sister, what do we have for lunch? I'm a little hungry..."

Nangong Shunv couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to pinch Nangong Jingnv's flamboyant little face: "I don't know yet, I brought pastries, let Lily bring them for you and your brother-in-law to use first."

Nangong Jingnv chuckled and thought to herself: Second sister is so natural in front of Qi Yan, why didn't she find out earlier?
