Dai Ziling

Chapter 156 Illusion?

At the end of Haishi, Xiangkun Palace.

The moonlight was cold, and the red lanterns swayed in the cold wind of the night. A figure stood outside the palace gate in silence for a long time. Finally, he raised his hand, and the guards who guarded the gate immediately pushed the door open.

In the dormitory, the Queen and Concubine Jin are painting at their desks. Their eyes are overflowing with infinite tenderness following the arc of the pen tip, and the corners of their mouths are raised from time to time, each immersed in his own painting.

After a while, Concubine Jin put down the pen in her hand, stroked the scroll lightly, and said, "I owe Yun'er too much..."

Hearing this, the queen also put down her pen, looked sideways at the picture scroll, and said with a smile, "How can you say that there is a debt between mother and child? At that time, you were in poor health, and there was nothing you could do about it. Fortunately, Yun This kid has lived up to expectations and has not let us down."

Concubine Jin smiled gratifiedly: "What the queen said is that it is difficult to change what has happened. It is better to live in the present than to dwell on the past. It doesn't matter if you gain or lose, but it will dissipate sooner or later."

Carefully picking up the picture scroll in front of the queen, Concubine Jin continued: "It's true that blood is thicker than water, they really look like His Majesty when he was young!"

The queen was taken aback, why did Concubine Jin mention that person so well?
Smiling faintly at the queen, Concubine Jin's eyes slowly moved to the corners of her eyes, following her gaze, the queen found a pair of satin boots with gold silk dragon pattern under the screen at the door.

The queen said calmly: "Yes! These two children have been by my side since they were young, and they have always followed their father as an example. When they were young, every time they saw His Majesty, Yun'er was always the first to run over and jump on him , still mumbling in his mouth that he wanted to be hugged by his father, Yi'er, he doesn't like to act like a baby, but every time he sees his father, he is very happy. Last time His Majesty was seriously ill, the two brothers were so frightened that they almost lost their souls , it really is the deep love between father and son!"

Concubine Jin nodded: "Winter is approaching, and I don't know how His Majesty is doing recently. I'll make some tonic soup for someone to send over tomorrow... But, I think he won't drink it..."

Looking at the two familiar handsome faces on the picture scroll, the queen said: "If you have a heart, send it to someone. It's getting late, let's rest!"

The two glanced at the screen without a trace, smiled at each other, and left!

Once upon a time, the man standing behind the screen was their sky, but now that the sky has collapsed, it is not as miserable as imagined. On the contrary, after abandoning some extravagant hopes and fantasies, their hearts have gained unprecedented peace.

Who can't act?It's just that some people don't understand that when a woman can act calmly in front of you, she has already lost her sincerity...

That night, King Nandan stayed up all night. He recalled the scenes of the father being kind and the son being filial, and the husband singing and the wife following. Giving everything to his wife and children with distracting thoughts, he can love the one he wants to love unscrupulously.

In life, no one can escape involuntarily, things backfire. The so-called experience is nothing more than that.

Early the next morning, the long-closed gate of Xiangkun Palace was finally opened, but the hearts of the two women living inside would never be opened for that man again...

In Biyou Pavilion.

Lingyi's eyelashes moved slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, turned around, and found that Zixi was not by her side, she didn't care about the pain in her body, she hurriedly got up, looked around, so early, where did that girl go?
There was the sound of clanging swords in the yard, and she walked to the window barefoot, and it turned out that Zhu Lan was practicing sword with that girl.

This kind of scene reminded Lingyi of the old Fanyao Palace. At that time, the two of them were also like this, with purple skirts swinging, green shirts flowing, and soft sword energy surrounding them. After a light touch, there will be a little bit of glitter in the air, it is really beautiful...

Lingyi smiled, this Teng Xuanyi is really interesting, knowing Zhulan's intentions, but still allowing him to live here, but...Zixi is very loyal and persistent in her feelings, maybe this is the reason why Teng Xuanyi is so confident Right... But, what if Zixi recovers her memory?How will she choose... At that time, will she be able to bear the pain of "tearing"?

The smile gradually disappeared, Lingyi walked to the bed and put on her dress. The cleaning for several hours yesterday almost killed her, and she fell asleep after taking a hot bath in a drowsy state. What's so special about Teng Xuanyi setting it as a forbidden place in the mansion?

Carefully observing the furnishings in the house, Lingyi's eyes were full of curiosity.

The first thing that caught her attention was the screen of mountains, rivers and stars blocking the door. The scenery in the painting seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while. She shook her head slightly, thinking: Teng Xuanyi's taste is really amazing. unique.

She turned around and looked at Bogujia again. There are many good things, but they are mortal things after all, how could they fall into Lingyi's eyes!but……

Lingyi walked up to the emerald green bead, her slender fingers whirled on it a few times, and vaguely felt a trace of familiar aura, she was startled, her fingers flicked away immediately, and after she regained her composure, she wanted to pick up the bead Examined carefully, but the bead didn't move.

Touching again, the wisp of spiritual energy just now can no longer be sensed, is it an illusion?Lingyi frowned and gripped the bead even tighter, nothing unusual...

"Sister, wake up!"

Zixi ran in holding the sword, her flushed face turned into a flower with a smile.

Lingyi nodded, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped off the slight sweat on her forehead, and said, "Why did you get up so early, and was so tired yesterday, why don't you sleep a little longer today?"

Putting the sword on the table, Zixi smiled and said:

"I've gotten used to it in the past few months. What was the little work yesterday! I'm not a weak little girl now. Besides, Yujing is no better than the border. Who knows that the smelly old man Nandan Wang will I will go crazy again and cause many things, and the eldest prince, I will have a fight with him sooner or later, I will beat him up with my own strength, hmph!"

Cough!

Zhu Lan clenched her fist slightly, put it to her lips and gave a chuckle, and said, "Shouldn't people who practice martial arts do it for physical fitness or chivalry? You just want to fight?"

Without hesitation, Zixi nodded seriously with a serious face: "Yes!"

……

At this time, Xin Ruo came in with a tea tray, smiled and took over the conversation: "Who do you want to fight with?"

Zi Xi curled her lips: "I will find whoever troubles us!"

After pouring a cup of pear tea and handing it to Zixi, Xinruo gently stroked her hair:
"I'm really curious, why is your hair so disobedient? It's only been a while, and it's messed up again. Sit over and I'll comb it for you again. Otherwise... I'll boil a pot of paste and wait until I comb it neatly." Can I put a layer on it for you?"

"Hahahaha..." Zixi took a sip of tea, and ran to the inner room bouncingly, after Xin Ruo poured a cup of tea for Lingyi and Zhulan, she also walked in.

Lingyi turned her head, looked at the jasper beads, and whispered: "Zhu Lan, look at this, is there something wrong?"

Zhu Lan stepped forward to look at the transparent green jade bead, touched it again, and said, "No, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just think this thing is not bad, I didn't expect such a good thing to exist in the mortal world."

Zhu Lan raised her eyebrows and said: "Well, the texture is really good, otherwise Teng Xuanyi wouldn't use it as a mechanism for the secret room."

"organ?"

"Well, there is a secret room behind this shelf, which is full of high-quality weapons, so ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Of course, Teng Xuanyi deliberately listed so many treasures here, which is also doing the opposite."

Lingyi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Lan said: "Trying to be mysterious, mysterious is not mysterious, and false is not false."

Thinking for a moment, Lingyi nodded and said: "Yes, with Teng Xuanyi's strategy, how can everyone know the secret? But anyone with a brain will not think that there is really anything in Biyou Pavilion. If you clearly care about this place, others will feel that this place is a cover..."

"Well, that Xiao Wu has been in the mansion for a long time, and he must have sneaked here to investigate and hid so many excellent weapons in the mansion. This alone is enough for Teng Xuanyi to drink a pot! Presumably that Xiao Wu is also clever but was misunderstood by cleverness, so he didn't investigate carefully, otherwise..."

Lingyi was silent for a moment, picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly, then asked: "Zhu Lan, you and Teng Xuanyi..."

Zhulan understood what Lingyi meant, and it was really puzzling that two people who were supposed to be incompatible became confidants.

"We... just admire one person, for one person, and guard one person. This person is safe, and the others are not important."

Drinking the tea in the cup, Lingyi suddenly felt sweet, she heard clearly, and she understood, the answer to the question that has troubled her for so long is actually so simple...

"I'm going to wear this!" Zixi's shout came from the inner room, although the voice was loud, it was indeed a coquettish tone.

Lingyi and Zhulan walked into the inner room curiously, and saw a pile of pearls, hairpins and emerald rings scattered on the dressing table, and Xinruo was holding a white jade hairpin in her hand, looking at the girl at a loss. .

Zixi doesn't like to dress up, and it's common for her hair to be empty, so it doesn't matter if she's outside, but this is the palace of the prince, and Xin Ruo originally had good intentions, and wanted to dress up for Zixi, so as not to be gossiped by those servants. Princess, but you don't even have a decent hair accessory?
"Xin Ruo, what's the matter?" Ling Yi asked with concern.

Xin Ruo was helpless and angry, and said: "This girl is so stubborn! Instead of wearing the white jade hairpin specially made for her by His Highness, she wants to wear that street stall!"

Would Teng Xuanyi wear it as a gift to her?Dai stalls?

Lingyi was confused when she heard it, she looked at Zhu Lan, only to see that his eyes were dim, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zixi pouted, shook the things in her hands, and shouted unconvinced: "I like it! I want to wear this!"

Last time when she left the house, Zixi specifically told Xinruo that she didn't need to bring any jewelry and hair accessories. She said that once she took those things out, she would definitely lose them by herself. to them.

Lingyi took two steps forward, and finally saw clearly what Zixi was holding in her hand... Immediately, her nose felt sore, and her eyes were dizzy with bloodshot eyes. , very much like...

"Change to another one!"

Teng Xuanyi's voice, he didn't know when he stood at the door, his face was full of disappointment.

Ling Yi just wanted to speak, but Zhu Lan pulled her aside, beckoning her to be calm.

Teng Xuanyi walked to the dressing table, opened the top drawer, and there was a moist and smooth white jade bud, lying there quietly, and the style was exactly the same as the one in Zixi's hand.

Zixi exclaimed: "Ah! You put it here?"

Teng Xuanyi remained silent, picked up the jade step, and gently put it on Zixi's hair bun. After looking left and right, he nodded in satisfaction: "Very good!"

Looking at that calm and breezy face, Zixi was very moved. He originally wanted to give himself a surprise!And this surprise has been lying there silently for a long, long time!

Blinking her eyes several times frequently, driving back the tears that were about to overflow, Zixi turned to look at Lingyi, and asked with a smile: "Sister, do you look good?"

Lingyi was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's pretty, it's really pretty..."
