Chapter 30 Your Secret is Touching
The night wind rustled through the leaves.
The leaking moonlight fell on her hair.
The girl buried her head in her arms, her fingertips gripping the wine glass gradually loosening, and she murmured before passing out drunkenly:
"It's fine now..."
A sultry summer night.
The wind started to blow for no apparent reason.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting a few strands of black hair beside her cheeks and her hanging wide sleeves.
There was a person standing in the corridor not far away.
Xue Chen leaned against the pillar of the corridor, and every word she said just now reached his ears without missing a word.
"Ning Shengsheng."
Gently utter her name.
There was a hint of smile in the boy's eyes.
"You are not Ning An."
He came here on a whim tonight to find out why Princess Ning'an knew Xuetuan.
Coincidentally.
Let him run into this scene.
Princess Ning'an humiliated him in every way, with only contempt in her eyes, treating him as a pretty object.
But she is different.
At first, Mingrui noticed something was wrong and thought the other party was joking.
I never thought the truth would be like this.
Xue Chen's gaze was fixed on the girl's cheek, his pupils surging with ecstasy and restrained interest.
"Maybe it would be more interesting to play it a different way."
He stood here for a long time.
Until Ning Shengsheng was helped into the palace by the palace maid.
Until the heart that was beating wildly with excitement slowly calmed down.
Returning to the Pear Garden in the night,
He had never been in such a good mood.
Even Xuetuan noticed that his master was in a good mood, so he jumped into Xue Chen's arms and looked at him curiously with his head tilted.
Xue Chen stretched out his bony hand and touched the top of Xuetuan's head. "Xuetuan, I found a very interesting person. Do you think it's worth my effort?"
"Meow!"
A limp claw slapped his hand away.
The cat's eyes are full of curiosity.
"The woman who saved you, remember?"
"Meow!"
“She’s a very interesting person.”
"Meow--"
Mimi didn't understand. Mimi just wanted to eat. Xuetuan jumped onto the table and clapped his paws, indicating that he wanted to eat.
The young man's pretty eyebrows relaxed as he said enticingly, "Xuetuan, follow Princess Ning'an and you'll have fish to eat every day. Maybe you can even eat fish raised in the spirit pond."
“Meow!”
The anxious child jumped three feet high.
"Be good and go find her."
"To remind her that I exist."
Xuetuan blinked his eyes, understood what Xue Chen meant, and jumped lightly, disappearing into the night.
The boy smiled brightly.
There was an unknown glimmer in those beautiful eyes.
"Ning Shengsheng, your secret is so touching."
***
Ning Shengsheng took advantage of the alcohol and slept until she woke up naturally.
Just about to open my eyes.
I felt something heavy was pressing on me.
She tried to open her sleepy eyes, and an enlarged cat's head appeared in front of her.
Round face and pure white hair.
"Meow~"
"Xuetuan? Why are you here?"
She reached out and pinched Xuetuan's ear.
"Meow~~~"
Xuetuan's round cat eyes looked at her pitifully, and after calling, he glanced outside the hall.
Ning Shengsheng thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Did something happen to your master?"
"Meow!!"
The cat's soft head rubbed her chin.
Meaning she is right.
Ning Shengsheng didn't think too much about it. She asked Songgao to come in, wash up and change clothes, and then took the sedan chair to go to the Pear Garden.
"Eat it or not, my little abandoned child is in a bad mood. Don't think that Princess Ning'an's support means you can do whatever you want. Princess Ning'an will be accompanying His Majesty to the Qionglin Garden to escape the summer heat today. She will be gone for two months. You will have to endure it when the time comes."
Less than ten meters away from the yard.
The eunuchs' sharp and harsh shouts were heard.
Ning Shengsheng frowned, stopped the sedan chair, and rushed to the gate of the Pear Garden in two steps.
See you.
The young man stood in the yard with a pale face. At his feet was a food box that had been overturned by the eunuch and spilled food.
The eunuch put his hands on his hips and pointed at his nose and cursed.
He clenched his hands tightly, and his pointed chin, which had been malnourished for a long time, had gained some weight after she had worked hard to feed it for half a month.
Haven't seen you for a few days.
Back again!
"Speak up! You were so arrogant just now, didn't you say you didn't want to eat? Eat real pig food from now on!"
The eunuch pushed forward arrogantly.
An ice-blue whip wrapped around his arm and pulled hard, causing the eunuch to fall backwards.
Look up.
He rolled and crawled up.
"Greetings...Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"This princess asked you to deliver food to Xue Zhizi every day, and this is how you deliver it?"
"Of course not, it's Xue Jizi——"
"It's okay." Xue Chen raised his hand and pressed his solar plexus, his body shaking uncontrollably. "Your Highness, you have already told me that no matter what food is sent to me, I should not waste it. This eunuch has nothing to do with me."
Eunuch: ? ?
He delivers food every day and curses a little to vent his anger. This proton always swallows his anger and nothing will happen.
How, why did it turn out like this today?
Ning Shengsheng quickly supported Xue Chen and turned around to say, "Since you are dissatisfied with the task assigned to you by me, you don't need to be on duty at the Chaoxia Palace in the future. We can't afford it."
"Your Highness, I have no complaints!"
Seeing the princess's unhappy expression, Songgao said expressionlessly, "You can go now."
The eunuch was driven away.
Ning Shengsheng helped Xue Chen sit under the pear tree and asked Songgao to go to the small kitchen to get a bowl of sugar water.
Songgao came back a moment later and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Princess, Xue Zhizi's kitchen has neither honey nor sugar."
"Xue Zhizi is so pitiful!" Zaoni spoke frankly.
Ning Shengsheng glanced worriedly at Xue Chen, who was sitting opposite her. The young man just smiled bitterly and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, just rest for a while. Your Highness Princess is supposed to accompany His Majesty to Qionglin Garden, how can you be late because of me?"
It was just reported that she was going to Qionglin Garden.
The group of flatterers in the palace started bullying him again.
If she left for two months, Xue Chen would not only be eaten by that group of people, but the students of Tianji Pavilion would also target him.
It would be even worse if Ning Jin's house arrest was lifted.
no.
She has to take Xue Chen with her!
"Zao Ni, pack up Xue Zhizi's things and go to Qionglin Garden with us."
"Okay! I'll clean it up right away."
The two maids went to clean up with smiles on their faces.
Under the shade of the trees.
Only she and Xue Chen were left.
"Your Highness, how can a place as good as Qionglin Garden be considered as a place for a minister like me, a discarded son of another country, to go?"
"If you take me with you, it will displease His Majesty."
The young man did not wear the black robe today. Instead, he wore a white long gown with narrow sleeves. The collar of the gown was embroidered with green bamboo. His straight back was just like the green bamboo.
How can the back of a gentleman as graceful as jade be bent?
Ning Shengsheng waved her hand and said, "It's okay. You don't have to worry about these. I will take care of them."
"Brother Emperor, please come and favor me. He also knows..."
"Well, he knows I like your pretty face, he will definitely not refuse."
He lowered his eyes, and the smugness of his successful plan flashed across his long eyelashes. When he raised his eyes again, a hint of innocent concern appeared on them. "As long as it doesn't implicate His Highness, that's good."
