The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 32
The chestnut fox walked forward with steady, broken steps.

After walking for a while, Qin Wan realized that they were not heading back to the palace, but came to the gate of Yingyang City.

When the guards saw Ning Yi, they immediately knelt down and opened the city gate.

"Where are you taking me?" Qin Wan asked.

Ning also didn't speak, just rode on.

Once out of the city gate, the scenery is quite different from the inside of the city.The countryside is empty, although it is bleak in winter, it has a desolate beauty.

Not long after the horses traveled, a hundred acres of autumn-yellow reeds suddenly appeared in front of them, and to the south of the reeds was a large lake.The dark blue lake reflects the shadow of the distant mountains, and the breeze passes by, sparkling waves.

There is a wooden boat moored on the lake, and on the top of the boat are a few waterfowls that have not yet flown south. I don't know what species they are.Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he flapped his wings and flew away, circled around the lake, and then disappeared among the reeds.

"This place is so beautiful..."

Qin Wan covered his mouth and sighed, his eyes lit up.

She couldn't wait to urge: "Come on, let's go to the lake."

Ning Yi tapped the horse's belly with his foot, and Lihu took a few quick steps and stopped beside the wooden boat by the lake.

Ning Yi got off the horse first, and then stretched out his hand to hug Qin Wan off the horse. Although his face was still not very good, the anger from before was gone.

Qin Wan got off the horse and immediately ran to the lake, looked at the distant mountains and the lake, and took a deep breath of fresh air.She had been locked up in the cold palace for a long time, and she hadn't seen such a vast scenery for a long time, and she couldn't help feeling that her heart was getting wider.

Suddenly a little coolness bloomed between her brows.

Qin Wan looked up in a daze, only to see snowflakes falling from the gray clouds.

At this moment, Qin Wan almost jumped up with joy, turned around and pointed at the sky and exclaimed to Ning Yi: "Ning Yi! Ning Yi! It's snowing! Look!"

Seeing her excited look, Ning also said with disdain: "Xue is too small, you will know what real snow is when I bring you back to Rong Country."

Qin Wan was not disturbed by Ning Yi's ridicule, she spread her hands to catch the snowflakes.

Ning Yi walked to her side, raised his hand to hold her: "Come with me."

As he spoke, he dragged her across the pier made of wooden battens and boarded the wooden boat.

There are hot tea and snacks in the wooden boat, blankets and soft pillows, and the decoration is warm and cozy. I don't know when Ning Yi asked people to prepare it.

Qin Wan followed Ning Yi and sat in the cabin, watching the lake from the window.The snow was getting bigger and bigger, falling one after another, filling the sky with colorful colors, and finally disappeared in the gray-blue lake water.

Qin Wan felt that the human world is really wonderful. It turns out that this world really has different time and space. They are parallel to each other and have no intersection. Just like the warm cabin where she is, and the snowy lake outside the window, they each have their own progress. , do not disturb each other, the warmth in the cabin cannot give those snowflakes, and the north wind blowing the snowflakes cannot enter this cabin.

Ning Yi picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Qin Wan, and handed it to her: "Drink it to make it warmer.

Qin Wan took the tea he poured and smiled slightly.

She took a sip, and had to say that His Royal Highness Prince Ning's tea was much better than that of Xiang Yue Ming, making her feel like she was in a tea field in spring, with green mountains lingering on her tongue.

Qin Wan secretly felt that men would use such little tricks to tempt a girl, but she is not a little girl, so she shouldn't feel blushing and heart beating, but she should feel ashamed if her heart speeds up a little.

Especially after rejecting this man in such a big scene, and sitting here enjoying the snow and drinking tea with him, this feeling of slap in the face is even more obvious.

But who can say no to having tea and snacks on a large lake in a snowy day?

It doesn't matter whether it's Ning Yi or someone else who is facing him, as long as she has a thick skin and is having fun, there's no need to worry about it.

"The affairs of Peijun are already proceeding in an orderly manner," Ning Yi said suddenly, "These things you have done have increased your reputation among the Pei people. Lu Ziyi proposed to welcome you to Peijun to settle down, but this king no."

"Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to go, and just said no?" Qin Wan asked.

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows: "Will you go?"

"I don't want to go for now." Qin Wan replied without hesitation.

Ning Yi was obviously very satisfied with her answer: "I know you won't want to go."

"Why?" Qin Wan asked, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Ning Yi: "You have lived in Yingyang City since you were a child, and you know nothing about Peiguo, and you have no memory of your parents. To you, Princess Wan'an of Peiguo is just a title. You need this title. So you will fight for land and benefits for the Pei people. But you don’t need this affection for the homeland, and you can’t empathize with the Pei people. If you go to Pei land rashly, your pretended compassion for the Pei people is probably It’s hard to keep playing for a long time.”

After listening to him, Qin Wan nodded approvingly: "I didn't expect you to understand me quite well. Since you don't think I'm standing on Peiren's side, what do you think I'm on?"

Ning also added some tea for herself, looked her in the eyes, and said seriously: "Yuan Chen poisoned your adoptive father and put you in limbo. Without your support in Nanliang, it is impossible for you to stand on the side of Nanliang. So In the whole world, only with this king, you have a place to stay, even if I give you freedom, you will not leave."

"That's not necessarily true," Qin Wan shrugged his shoulders, "In case I meet a man who is close to my eyes and marry him on a blind date, just like the Mr. Lu just now, then I will leave without saying anything, and you can't stop me. "

"My lord, let's take a look. There are a few desperate people in the world who have come to meet your relatives."

Ning Yi spoke seriously, without any hint of joking in his tone.Thinking of the meaningless and childish fight between him and Lu Ling just now, Qin Wan sighed helplessly.

"You're right," Qin Wan smiled wryly, "I have no country or home now, and I have no stance to stand on, and no one will stand on my stance. I have nowhere to go. Fortunately, after falling from the wall that day, You didn’t kill me to survive in this time and space. Think about it, I really don’t know if I’m poor or lucky.”

Qin Wan wasn't joking, she had indeed considered her situation - she probably wouldn't be able to survive without Ning Yi's material help, otherwise she wouldn't be able to have tea with Ning Yi here smoothly.But she felt that no matter what she said, she was a new-age woman who had gone through nine years of compulsory education and had studied Mamao Dengsan for four full years. If she was just manipulated by an ancient person like this, she would really be a hindrance to modern humans and lose her.

"Wan'er, you don't have nothing, you obviously have me."

Ning Yi's words are very deep and true.He said it so sincerely that Qin Wan instantly felt that he chose such a gloomy and snowy time, such a scene with reeds and a long lake, such a wild and uninhabited environment, just to say this sentence. It is under this cold wilderness, tell her: Only he can give her a boat, carry her and keep her warm.

Qin Wan supported his head and sneered, then turned his eyes to Feixue outside the cabin.

"Ning Yi, don't misinterpret what I mean. I mean that I just have no money, no place to live, and no place to settle down, but it doesn't mean I have nothing. I have seen a world that you haven't seen, There are knowledge that you have never heard before, and theories that you can't understand at all. Ning Yi, you don't understand me at all."

Ning Yi saw the confidence in her eyes when she said this, and said after a while of silence: "This king is wrong, ever since you told me about the strategy of improving fertility in the hall, this king knows that you are different from ordinary women. "

Qin Wan turned around and said firmly, "I'm different from ordinary girls, I'm different from all of you."

Ning Yi raised the corners of his mouth: "Yes, I have seen it."

The two were silent for a while, the wind and snow outside became stronger, and the atmosphere in the boat became a little dignified.

Qin Wan felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive. After thinking about it, she decided to break the silence first, and asked with a smile, "Ning Yi, haven't you thought about the fact that I'm not the real Princess Peiguo?"

Ning Yi: "I thought about it."

Qin Wan asked: "Then what if I'm really not?"

Ning Yi said: "This king says yes, who dares to say no."

"Don't say anything else, Ning Yi, I'll just say this to you," Qin Wan raised his teacup, "Come, I'll toast you."

Ning Yi: "..."
