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

Chapter 94 Sentiment
Back in Yingyang City, Qin Wan didn't see Ning Yi for many days.

According to Xiaobai, Ning Yi is very busy, basically day and night, and there is no time to come to see her in the cold palace.

Qin Wan understood that she was a little distressed, so she made a large portion of beef sauce with freshly made soy sauce, put it in a food box with a smile on her face, and walked towards Qingyun Hall under the sun.She had planned a long time ago to cook this specialty dish that her grandfather taught her for Ning Yi to try.

Lenggong and Qingyun Palace were too far apart, Qin Wan finally walked to the gate of Qingyun Palace with sweat on his forehead.

Just about to go in, I heard two little maids chatting while cleaning.

"Hey, why do you think that empress is still living in the cold palace when she comes back?" A little palace maid asked.

Another little court lady lowered her voice and said: "Hey, you don't understand that, that empress went to Jiangnan for half a year. It is said that she was very favored by Liang Emperor as a noble concubine. Just think about it, how could we, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, be so proud of wanting a woman whom other men have touched, so we arranged her far away and let her live in the cold palace. "

"Then why did His Highness bring her back from Jiangnan?"

"It's not because she is Princess Wan'an of Pei Kingdom," the little maid shrugged, "Hey, it's just for political reasons. The whole Yingyang City knows about it, but no one talks about it. His Highness Prince Ning only treats that lady as a decoration, and will never be lucky, if you don’t believe me, just watch.”

If it were changed to the original, Qin Wan would regularly step into the Qingyun Palace in a generous manner.

But at this time she hesitated.

She leaned against the palace wall and thought for a while, then turned around and walked back the way she had carried the food box.

After half a year, what would Ning Yi think of her?
Qin Wan didn't know.

Does she want to tell Ning Yi that she has not committed herself to Yuan Chen, she guards herself like a jade for him, and she will never cheat both mentally and physically?
If he believes she won't, why should she explain more.If he had doubts, why would she need to explain.

If he alienates her because of this, it is not her attitude towards relationships to make allowances, and she will just treat this relationship as a dog.

With such a plan in mind, Qin Wan stretched and returned to the Leng Palace.

Liuying saw that she had brought back the food box intact, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, why didn't you send it over?"

"It's nothing," Qin Wan forced a smile, "Ning Yi is probably busy at the moment, and I might interrupt his business if I go, so think about it and forget it."

"But this beef was made by you, ma'am, what a pity." Liu Ying was filled with regret.

Qin Wan waved his hand: "Hey, what's the pity, it's just a piece of beef. There are so many regrets in life, and I'm afraid of having one more. Why don't you send it to Mr. Xiaobai, don't waste it."

Liuying nodded, and went to look for Xiaobai with the food box.

At this time, Qin Wan was the only one left in the cold palace.

She stood under the dead tree and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.She suddenly remembered a book she liked very much that said: When a person looks up at the clouds and the sky, that is when she feels lonely.

Thinking of this sentence, she suddenly looked away.

Why did she feel so helpless in her heart after leaving Jiangnan and returning here.

In this cold palace, all the flowers are in full bloom and the sun is shining brightly, why does it feel colder.

Qin Wan sat on the porch, listening to the cicadas singing, and thinking to himself.In the past, she had no expectations, so she was not sad, but now she has more demands, she wants Ning Yi to be by her side, to accompany her, talk to her, hug her, she wants Ning Yi to understand her mood , to share her joys and sorrows.

But on the way back, Ning Yi didn't ask her anything.

I didn't even ask her how she spent the 180-plus days in Jiangnan, what she did, and what happened to her.

She obviously had a lot to say to Ning Yi, but he was always busy, even if he met occasionally, he would keep quiet and not ask her anything about Nanliang.

Like he didn't care at all.

Could it be that, as the little maid said, Ning Yi conquered the entire Liang Kingdom, and her political value has been exhausted.How could the calm and rational King Ning of Beirong waste his time on a worthless woman.

Qin Wan didn't dare to think about the countless questions in her mind, those "whys" could do nothing but make her sad.

She really hoped that Ning Yi could spend this time with her and drive away those deep sea-like sorrows with her.But she was afraid that Ning would misunderstand too much after speaking out.

She suppressed all the negative emotions firmly in her heart, not letting them show their traces.

Obviously before leaving Yingyang, Ning Yi was also like this. She was very busy every day, rarely came to see her, and occasionally asked her to go to Qingyun Palace for a meal, and did not have many opportunities to meet her. Now it is no different from then.

But she has been in Jiangnan for more than half a year, and she is used to having someone by her side every day, watching her every move, even if she is just feeding fish in boredom, there are eyes following her figure all the time.

People are most afraid of comparison. Once there is a comparison, there will be heartache.

People are like this, always too greedy, get a little, as if they want to get more, if the other party doesn't give, it seems to be the fault of the other party.

Qin Wan shook his head, raised his head and let the tears flow back to his eyes.

"Forget about it, forget about it, back to Yingyang, I'm still a happy little girl." Qin Wan sniffed, picked up the broom from the wall, and swept the yard.

When Liu Ying came back, Qin Wan cleaned the entire cold palace spotlessly, watered the flowers, fed the chickens and ducks, and wiped the kitchen stove until it was as shiny as new.

Liuying began to understand the meaning of Lie Xian's words.

Empress, she feels bad, she is very, very uncomfortable.She has changed, obviously different from before, as if the whole person has become heavy, less relaxed and fearless than before, and less vigorous than before.

"Your Majesty, just now the internal officials said that His Royal Highness King Ning is coming to have dinner tonight." Liuying said, she thought Qin Wan would be happier when she heard these words.

But Qin Wan's smile disappeared, and he tilted his head and asked reflexively, "Why did he come?"

Liu Ying froze, not knowing how to answer.

Qin Wan smiled wryly: "He can come if he wants, Liuying, you can cook something he likes to eat, and I'll go to sleep for a while. I'm a little tired now after doing so much homework."

When Qin Wan woke up, she was surprised to find that there were tears beside her pillow.

She wiped her eyes, wondering what dream she had and why she was crying again.In the past, I obviously seldom cried, maybe because I ate too much food in Jiangnan, and I became sentimental like a Jiangnan woman.

"Are you awake?" Ning Yi's voice sounded.

He was still so handsome, looking at her tenderly, with a little tiredness and tenderness in his expression.

Qin Wan smiled politely at him: "Are you done?"

Ning Yi nodded: "Suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten with you for several days, get up quickly, Liuying has prepared all the meals."
