Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

A "ridiculous" guess flashed across, and Nangong Jingnv instinctively vetoed it, but that thought crawled back into her mind as if it had grown legs.

The door of the hall was opened, and Nan Gongwang stepped into the main hall, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

Nangong Jingnv suddenly got up and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

"The homecoming banquet is about to begin, where is the imperial sister going?" Nangong Wang asked.

"Brother Three Emperors." Nangong Jingnu hurried out of the hall.

The servant at the door greeted him: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"You two come with me with a lamp."

"Yes."

Nangong Jingnv walked fast all the way, negations poured out again and again, but her pace became faster and faster.

Memories flashed: "Your eyes..."

"I suffered from a serious illness when I was young, but after I recovered by luck, my eyes were mutated. I couldn't see things at night when I couldn't see strong light, and I was forbidden to drink alcohol for life."

……

The cold wind hit my face, and it hurt like a knife!

Two servants carrying palace lanterns followed behind Nangong Jingnv step by step, the lone moon hung high, and the flickering and shaking shadows of the candlelight.

Nangong Jingnv once again came to the rockery where she hid during the day, her heart beating like a drum.

It's a pity that the night is too dark, and this section of the palace road is remote and without lights, so it is impossible to see as far as it is during the day.

"Give me the light."

"Yes."

Nangong Jingnv took the palace lantern and took a deep breath: "You two wait here."

"The slaves don't dare, what is His Highness looking for? Let the slaves go."

"My palace said, wait here."

"……Yes."

Nangong Jingnv counted her steps, listened to her heartbeat, and approached step by step.

The anger in her heart flashed past, followed by uncontrollable astonishment, puzzlement, sourness, remorse, and things she couldn't explain herself.

"Why are you still here!"

Qi Yan turned his head, stared at the empty eyes for a long time, and tentatively called out: "Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv took a big step forward, lifted the palace lantern and saw Qi Yan's pale face and blue lips, her mood was extremely complicated: "I ask why you are still here!?"

"Your servant has nowhere to go."

"You!" Nangong Jingnv got angry and raised her leg to kick Qi Yan's calf.

The latter snorted, and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness kicked me again."

A trifle that had been forgotten for a long time suddenly came out, Nangong Jingnv stared blankly at Qi Yan: It turned out to be him!

The memory was opened, but in those coquettish amber eyes, there was a void without focus.

Nangong Jingnv bit her lip, lowered her proud head slightly: "The palace banquet is about to begin, let's go back."

"it is good."

"I'm holding you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnv held the palace lantern in one hand, and held Qi Yan with the other, her hands were cold and stiff.

Isn't this person afraid of freezing to death? !

"From now on, you are not allowed to go out after dark."

"Yes."

"Slow down, steps!"

"it is good."

"Also, what do you mean you have nowhere to go? My Weiyang Palace allows you to come and go as you please."

"Your servant doesn't know the way."

"If you don't know, just ask, are so many sages in vain?"

"The subject is worried that His Highness will not be able to find anyone when he returns."

……

Nangong Jingnv really wanted to ask Qi Yan: What should I do if I don't come back?

However, this question is meaningless, she is back, isn't she?

……

Nangong Jingnu and Qi Yan walked into the hall hand in hand, and everyone was paying attention to them.

Nangong Rang glanced at the hands they held together: "My son, take your seat quickly, the palace banquet begins."

It turned out that after Nangong Rang came, he found that Nangong Jingnv hadn't arrived yet, so he ordered Sijiu to invite her in person and sat on a high seat to wait.

Not only did he not receive any blame for the late arrival of the banquet, but Nangong Rang waited willingly.

The degree of Nangong Jingnv's favor once again broke Qi Yan's expectations.

Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnv were sitting together on the same case, because they had stood in the cold wind for a long time and their legs hurt, so they groaned.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Jingnu asked.

"nothing."

Nangong Jingnv turned her head and saw that Qi Yandong's pale face was full of forbearance, his body was stretched, and his lower body was hanging in the air, as if he didn't dare to put his legs under heavy pressure.

"But the leg hurts?"

Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'm a little stiff, just take it easy for a while. Your Highness doesn't need to worry."

Nangong Jingnv wanted to speak but stopped but said nothing more.

Qi Yan can't drink alcohol, but Nangong Jingnu is greedy.

Nangong Rang was well aware of the temperament of loving daughters, so he ordered someone to fetch her usual luminous cup, and gave her a jug of fine grape wine.

The red-purple nectar slanted down, refracting a bewitching color like fresh blood.

Nangong Jingnv drank a cup, narrowing her eyes comfortably.

Putting down her wine glass, Nangong Jingnv said to Qi Yan, "This dish of roasted lamb chops is not available in the folk, so let's try it."

The maidservant cut a rib for Qi Yan and put it in Qi Yan's dish.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"It tastes even better when dipped in the green leek sauce on the side."

"The subject knows."

Qi Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, poured a little chive sauce on the lamb chops as he said, took it to his mouth, took a bite, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the lamb tastes like this. It's really delicious in the world, and it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth."

Nangong Jingnu also smiled: "Is what I said right?"

Qi Yan ate the mutton chops with relish, and a mutton chop was eaten up quickly, and he let out a long breath showing a satisfied expression.

Before the first year of Jingjia, there was no such way of eating in Wei country, and even mutton was a rare item.

It wasn't until the iron hooves broke through the gates of the grasslands, and the Wei State invaded and occupied a large area of ​​pastures, cattle and sheep, that the folk restrictions on mutton were gradually released.

After that, leek flowers, which are regarded as weeds by the people of Wei, appeared on the dining table for the first time...

Qi Yan wiped his hands with a clean cloth from the handmaid of the palace, and poured a glass for Nangong Jingnv: "I heard that the father has nine sons, and the third brother introduced the second and fourth brothers at the wedding banquet last time." Brother Huang, why didn't you see other brothers attending the banquet this time?"

Nangong Jingnv picked up the wine glass and drank it down, explaining: "The prince and the ninth prince are not yet ten years old, so they can't come here. The seventh... has a withdrawn personality and would not attend such an occasion. The sixth brother is the most romantic, I heard that the reputation among the people is not good, and every time he appears, he will be reprimanded by his father. The fifth brother is a very good person. When we were young, the other emperor brothers did not like to play with our sisters. Except for the two brothers of the Lu family, only five Brother and our sisters are the closest. It's a pity... Fifth Brother was born with a lameness. As for the eldest prince... I will talk to you later when I have a chance."

Qi Yan picked out the important information and kept it in his heart. Seeing that the wine glass was empty, he poured another glass for Nangong Jingnv: "Your servant sees that the fourth brother and the second brother are far apart in age, why are they sitting in the same case?"

"Second brother and fourth brother are siblings, and the mother concubine is the concubine Hui we met today. The third brother's mother concubine is concubine Shu."

"I see."

The eldest prince Nangong Ping is a taboo in the court, and the second prince Nangong Wei is more suitable for "assistant" in terms of status, but it is a pity that he has brothers.

The fifth prince, Nan Gongda, was congenitally deficient. Whether the sixth son, Nan Gonglie, is to hide his strength and bide his time or to be a real dandy remains to be discussed. The first prince is still too young to be considered.

Qi Yan cast his eyes on the third prince Nangong Wang, who disguised himself as Xu Wang and invited Xie An to entertain poor students from all over the world, it seemed that he had a lot of ambition.

So, it's him.

Qi Yan held down Nangong Jingnv's hand holding the jug, and said softly: "Your Highness, I have read in ancient times that the aftertaste of wine is the most soft and lingering. After three glasses, don't be greedy."

Nangong Jingnv licked her lips, and reluctantly let go of the jug: "Okay." She has to take care of her second sister at night, so she really doesn't want to drink too much.

Halfway through the palace banquet, the aftermath of the fine wine welled up, and Nangong Jingnu's cheeks turned pink.Sitting next to her, Qi Yan, who hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol, turned out to be even more ruddy than Nangong Jingnv.

There were bursts of tingling pain in the temple, and dizziness struck from time to time.Qi Yan frowned and tried to straighten her body: this is a symptom of wind evil entering the body.

After a while, Nangong Jingnv took the initiative to resign because she was concerned about her second sister.

"Father, it's getting late, and my daughter is overwhelmed with alcohol and wants to go back to the palace first."

Nangong Rang nodded, and ordered Sijiu who was standing behind him: "You personally take someone to send Princess Zhenzhen back to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My son, don't rush back home, just stay in the palace for a few more days."

"Yes, Father."

After leaving the main hall, a gust of cold wind hit, Qi Yan shuddered and felt even more dizzy.Nangong Jingnv took Qi Yan's hand again when she saw Qi Yan not taking a step.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Weiyang Palace is very close, it's almost there."

"Ah."

Nangong Jingnv felt that Qi Yan's palm was very hot, but she didn't think deeply about it.

Back at Weiyang Palace Nangong Jingnv said to Qi Yan: "I will send you back to the side hall first, and I will take care of my second sister when she is ill."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu accompanied Qi Yan to the entrance of the side hall, and told the maidservant who came out to welcome her: "Add a few more braziers at night." After speaking, she hurried to the main hall.

Nangong Shunv was much better after taking the medicine and sweating. When Nangong Jingnv entered, she was leaning on the bed, holding a book in her hand.

Nangong Jingnv took off her cold cloak and handed it to Chuntao: "Second Sister~!"

"came back?"

Nangong Jingnv sat on the bed and took the tea from Nangong Shunv's hand: "You hurt your eyes from watching at night, how is Second Sister?"

"I have nothing serious to do, and my sister is worried."

After speaking, he held Nangong Jingnu's face: "Why is your face so hot? Is it because of the wind?"

"It doesn't matter, father gave a jug of fine wine at the palace banquet, hehe."

Nangong Shunv stretched out her finger and touched Nangong Jingnv's nose: "You, you are greedy again. Chuntao, hurry up and make a hangover soup."

"Yes."

Nangong Jingnv shook her head like a rattle: "No need, I don't like that smell."

"Let's drink a bowl, so as not to get a hangover and headache."

"It's really unnecessary, I only had three drinks."

Nangong Shunv was a little surprised, her younger sister has always been the most greedy: "When did you change your gender?"

"It's not Qi Yan..." Nangong Jingnu's heart tightened, and she changed her words: "Second Sister~ I want to sleep with you tonight!"

Nangong Shunv smiled and said: "You are all big girls who have left the pavilion, why are you so afraid of the dark?"

"Second sister~, are you okay?"

"This is your bedroom, can I still drive you out?"

"Second sister loves me the most."
