Light Red Northern Song

"Yu'er thinks that a person like Master Qiao should be matched by someone who knows her, respects her, loves her, and protects her. Thank you, Master, he is not worthy." An Ning also spoke slowly.There was no way to continue the stalemate, so she had no choice but to be frank and honest, and to speak clearly, it was better than having nothing to say.

"Oh? Then where is the person who knows her, respects her, loves her, and protects her right now?" Chu Shanyi wanted to drive her away, but she refused to leave, and she was a little amused by such tranquility.

After hearing An Ning's words, Qiao Jinzhi suddenly raised her head. She looked at the other's brows and eyes with mixed feelings.Is it more sour, or more joyful, that kind of complicated feeling that I dare not even think about it deeply.

"No matter where that person is now, he can never be Master Xie." An Ning raised her chin slightly, looked directly at Chu Shanyi above, and said: "From ancient times to the present, women have been restrained. Marriage has never been They are all ordered by their parents, the words of a matchmaker, or someone with a high status like the emperor's aunt. Who cares, and who cares whether they are happy? It is already very sad not to be with the one you love, let alone Is it a person who can't even give him the least respect? Whether it's caring or respect, love or care, thank you sir!" An Ning suddenly turned to look at Xie Yuan, his eyes were about to burst into flames.He asked loudly: "Tell me, what did you do?"

Xie Yuan had been worried since An Ning came in, and the pride in his heart had long since dissipated, but when he suddenly heard the other party's questioning, he was too frightened to speak.

"Xie Yuan! If you give up your wishful thinking now, I will naturally have nothing to say to you in the future. If you continue to be stubborn, you will wait and see with me in the future!" Shanyi, can't you force Xie Yuan?

The two masters were playing a game, and no one else in Lingyun Palace had the right to intervene.But now, An Ning is able to treat Xie Yuan like this in front of Chu Shanyi, everyone is as clear as a mirror.Chu Shanyi loves An Ning very much, and An Ning protects Qiao Jinzhi without any limit.

"Enough." Chu Shanyi's tone was very light. At this point, he was really so angry that he had nothing to say.After a while, she said in a low voice: "Princess An Ning is disrespectful in front of the palace, her words and deeds are shameless, she will be fined for half a month, go."

After Chu Shanyi finished speaking, he stopped, and the hall became quiet again.

"Aunt Huang, Yu'er left after saying the last few words." Everyone thought that this matter should be over, but no one thought that Her Highness the princess had gone so far in acting out of common sense.

"How many roads there are in the world, and how useful a person is has never been determined. If this road doesn't work, there are naturally other roads. This person seems to be only so useful, maybe there are bigger things in the way Wait for her." She slowed down and said, "Yu'er will be retiring now, and I request to go with Lord Qiao, and I hope the emperor's aunt will approve."

Chu Shanyi was very angry and tired after being made such a fuss by An Ning. What happened today exceeded her expectations. She waved her hand and said, "Everyone go down."

Everyone left, Qin Wang stepped forward and gently rubbed the master's shoulders, while she closed her eyes and thought about it.

Why did An Ning add those few words at the end?Because everyone knows that Xie Yuan is the commander of the guards in the palace, he controls all the guards in the palace, and there are too many things in the forbidden palace that can use him.It seems that his usefulness is indeed greater than that of Qiao Jin, but who can know that Qiao Jinzhi has no other uses?An Ning speaks of emotion, but if he can't say it, he has no choice but to start from the profit.Originally, Chu Shanyi was thinking about her own interests, and perhaps such a reason would make her change her mind even more.

Qiao Jinzhi followed An Ning all the way back to Jinyun Palace, while Donghua Dongrong who was behind her was already scared out of her wits and didn't recover.After entering the palace, An Ning left Qiao Jinzhi behind, and everyone else went down.

It's just summer, and the sunshine outside the window is just right.

"I still remember the story I told you about the crazy man who carried the pot. You asked me that day, whether it was wrong or right to do it knowing it couldn't be done, and I will answer you today. That is, things in the world often cannot be based on right and wrong It is wrong to choose to do or not to do. Ordinary people say that he is crazy and absurd, but I think he is brave and fearless. Don’t ask right or wrong, just do it because you want to do it. That kind of strong obsession and power is what I do today relying on." An Ning stood in front of the window, looking out the window and said calmly.

"Your Highness has done enough. I am in shackles, and I dare not ask for more freedom and freedom."

"Are you going to marry?" An Ning asked the other party's negative words, turned around and looked at her.

Qiao Jinzhi lowered her head and remained silent.What if she doesn't want to?The elderly father is still in the army, and the younger sister is also in the capital.She can escape, but what about her relatives?Have you been hiding in hiding all your life?

"Qiao Jinzhi, I only ask you this question, and you must answer me." Seeing his silence, An Ning was terrified. She was afraid that the other party would compromise.

At this moment, Qiao Jinzhi's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, thinking of various possible ways to save the situation.But she still lowered her head and remained silent.The people in front of her have indeed done enough, no matter how much she is favored, she is only a proton of Chu State. Once she loses Chu Shanyi's favor, will there be fewer people around who stare at her covetously?How can she let her take risks for herself again.

"Qiao Jinzhi, let me ask you again, will you marry or not?" No matter what the decision is, it is Qiao Jinzhi's own choice, and An Ning is always an outsider and has no right to make the decision for her.So she is still sticking to her last "considerateness". If the other party is willing to marry, she will never stop her, and if she says "no", she will never stand idly by.

"Are you going to kill me in a hurry? Qiao Jinzhi." An Ning was really in a hurry, she frowned and asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Your Highness?" Qiao Jinzhi suddenly raised her head to look at the other party, her eyes were as cold as twinkling stars.At this moment, she really suddenly thought of this point, when did her own affairs deserve the other party's attention.

"A person like Xie Yuan, how can he be worthy of you?"

"What kind of person is worthy of a humble job?" Qiao Jinzhi thought of the other party's phrase "know her, respect her, love her, and protect her", feeling a place in her heart being scratched by a hand, and at the same time There was another hand caressing that area, and this feeling of discomfort or reassurance made her confused and ignorant.

"You!" An Ning felt as if she had swung her clenched fist violently, but it hit a ball of cotton.She felt a deep sense of frustration, and said helplessly, "Qiao Jinzhi, you are very well..."

After she finished speaking, she passed Qiao Jinzhi's side, and went straight to sit on the wooden bench.

Qiao Jinzhi still turned her back to her, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

"This is your business after all, I'm just an outsider, I can't control it, right? So you don't care how I get angry, right?" An Ning sighed in her heart and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness is indeed an outsider, and a forgetful outsider. And without the favor of the empress, he will be a dying outsider at any time." Qiao Jinzhi still said with her back to her.

Now that An Ning understood, she immediately softened her heart.The situation of the last assassination is still vivid in my memory, although Chu Shanyi sent people to investigate, but there has been no progress.Of course, she didn't believe that there was no reason for the empress to deal with this matter so calmly. There was no need to think about the reason, it was just that Chu Shanyi knew who the mastermind was.

"I told you once, I hope you are safe, healthy, and happy all your life. I also told you before that I am leaving here. Don't think so much, I will protect myself, and you too You yourself. Today's business is not over yet, but it is inconvenient for you to stay in the palace for a long time, so go back to the mansion first. There is no unparalleled road, and we will always find a way." An Ning looked at Qiao Jinzhi's back and said softly .

Qiao Jinzhi turned around slowly, and she looked at An Ning quietly.

"It's your turn to be guarding tomorrow, so you should enter the palace earlier. Don't delay on the way, it will cause people to worry." An Ning looked at the silent Qiao Jinzhi, and added another sentence.

"Heh," Qiao Jinzhi lowered her head, and with a gentle smile on her face, she asked aloud, "Can someone rob you on the way?"

"My lord, although you don't hear much old sayings, you must have heard the phrase 'You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others'?" An Ning deliberately rolled her eyes and asked with a light smile.

During these days when the two were together, they would catch each other's words and tease each other from time to time.Qiao Jinzhi laughed again when she heard An Ning tease her, and replied softly, "Okay, I will come early tomorrow."

Back at the Hou Mansion, Qiao Minzhi happened to be at home. When she saw her sister coming back, she went up to meet her, and followed her back to the room.

"Why did the empress summon my sister today?" Qiao Minzhi casually picked up the blue bird jade paperweight on the desk and asked, playing with it.

Qiao Jinzhi sat beside the desk, was silent for a while, and then recounted what happened in Lingyun Palace today.Hearing this, Qiao Minzhi's movements froze, and his expression froze for a long time.

"Princess An Ning, she...is she so courageous?" Qiao Minzhi stayed with his mouth half open for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence.

An Ning was so bold, she dared to do things that ordinary people would not dare to do, how could Qiao Jinzhi not see it?But the first thing she heard from her younger sister was not that she was worried about being given a marriage, but she felt that something was wrong when she defined An Ning's behavior.She raised her head to look at her younger sister, and suddenly felt that something had been neglected by herself.

"Your Highness, what does she mean? She just wants to gain prestige in the palace? That's impossible, it's too stupid. She doesn't seem to be such a nosy person, but if it's not for her own selfishness, then what's going on with her ?" Qiao Minzhi's mind was completely different from that of her sister, she was really thinking about the motives of His Highness's actions.

Yes, what happened to An Ning?It wasn't until Qiao Jinzhi realized that she didn't seem to have thought about this problem, but just knew that the person was helping her by feeling.But why did she help herself like this?

"I often hear people from the Chu region say that most of the princes, nobles, literati and scholars there are elegant and romantic, and it is normal for them to prostitute children and raise young ladies. Princess Anning, ah, no, Your Highness is not a man. But the palace There is also the matter of food, and I heard that there is a saying of "traveler" among the people. Isn't she, Your Highness?" Qiao Minzhi's eyes were wide and round, and he talked a lot to himself.

"... "

"Sister, don't make such a face. Why don't you say that Your Highness didn't do it out of selfishness?" Qiao Minzhi asked after seeing her sister's helpless expression.

"..." What else should Qiao Jinzhi say?She has nothing to say.

"Your Highness is kind-hearted, maybe it's just out of good intentions. You want to make such unnecessary guesses and tarnish Your Highness's reputation." Qiao Jinzhi thought for a while, stood up and said, and then decided to ignore her sister.

It's not like Qiao Jinzhi is such a smart person, she hasn't thought about it this way.But even though she was usually high and proud, when she met An Ning, she didn't dare to make such conjectures casually.That person is very special in her eyes. Does such a special person really have other thoughts about herself?No, I am not that attractive.

"It's never that simple, huh!" Qiao Minzhi followed his departing sister with eyes, and muttered with his mouth pouted.
