Qingchuan History

Chapter 390 Nostalgia
It's getting a little dark.

Ji Wanling walked out of the palace without saying a word.Heng'er wanted to ask twice, but didn't dare to say anything because of the situation.

When Shangguan concubine caught up with them, they had just reached the jasmine garden in front of Pishuang Hall.

Blossoming fragrance, white as snow, brilliant as stars.Ji Wanling stared at Chuxia Manpu, and suddenly felt that she really shouldn't plant Jasmine in front of the palace.

"It's already time, and I haven't eaten yet, but Sister Yu is here to enjoy the flowers."

"It's already time, and I haven't eaten yet, Madam Jin is not in a hurry to go back, but Yizhi detoured to see me enjoy the flowers."

Shangguan Concubine was obviously taken aback, "Sister's speech now smells like gunpowder."

Ji Wanling said slowly, "Really? I didn't realize it myself. I'm rude."

"Sister, you are polite. The current situation is really embarrassing. I'll just let it go. Run'er is innocent. As for you, sister, it's a pity."

Ji Wanling watched her quietly for a moment, "I have never been very clear about what kind of big mistake Mrs. Jin made at the beginning, she was suddenly grounded, and was not invited out until Jing Tingge, the envoy of the State of Wei, entered the palace and went to Hulanhu's house. feast."

Shangguan Concubine seemed surprised: "Sister doesn't know? Not at all?"

There were no Ji Wanling and Duan Xirun at the Hulan Lake family banquet.

Not to mention the two of them, such as Ji Ping, Jing Tingge, Ruan Xueyin, and even Shangguan concubine, were also confused at that time.

Either they are ignorant, such as Ji Ping.

Or even guessing and fooling around, for example, there are three left.

I don't know, it's really nothing to be surprised about.Ji Wanling continued to look at her:
"If I shouldn't know, I don't know, and I don't want to know. This is the virtue of a courtier, and it is also the virtue of a concubine."

It seems that I really don't know.I don't know that the phoenix weeps in the thatched cottage in Xiling.Shangguan concubine smiled brightly,

"Sister really understands the general situation, takes care of the overall situation, and is in the middle palace. It's suitable for someone like my sister to sit."

The sky is getting darker, and the warm wind blows the jasmine fragrance, which makes people's hearts and minds loose.Ji Wanling let out a long breath,

"Just now in the Turning the Waves Palace, Jun Shang just emphasized, pay attention to morals and keep your duty. Mrs. Jin will stop mentioning the word Zhonggong."

"Yes. It's my sister who made a slip of the tongue." Shangguan's concubine continued to smile, and she turned her head slightly to look at the Phi Shuang Temple not far away.
"To tell you the truth, my sister, when I came out of Turning the Waves Hall, I was already a bit hungry, and now I'm going back to the Boiled Rain Hall, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." She pursed her lips, a little embarrassed,
"I made my sister a joke. If you don't dislike it, can you let me enter the Phi Shuang Palace to beg for food?"

"I just made a big splash in the Wanlan Palace," Ji Wanling said after a while, "It's not appropriate for Mrs. Jin to go to my place right now."

Shangguan concubine blinked, "What momentum?"

Naturally, it's a momentum of talking about the palace, and discussing whether to retreat when Dr. Cui asks questions.

Ji Wanling watched her pretending to be stupid so naturally, after thinking about it, she said again:
"What the palace said today is all about facts. If Madam Jin's thoughts are inadvertently agreed, it's just a coincidence. Sister, don't get it wrong."

"My sister calls me sister, because she doesn't treat me as an outsider." Shangguan concubine smiled sincerely, "I don't have any thoughts, but I just do my duty as a concubine and share the worries of the king. Of course, my sister is also."

As the night fell, her crimson palace dress was more intense than it looked in the daytime, with clusters of roses adorning the light gauze, warm and almost demonic.

Ji Wanling stared at the beautiful roses, but the fragrance of jasmine was lingering in her nose.It's so awkward.She frowned, and said for a while:
"Go back and give an order to prepare more dishes and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. When Mrs. Jin comes, everyone cheers up."

Heng'er blinked, and hastily agreed, and was about to go to Pishuang Palace, but she was afraid that Ji Wanling would have no one to call her, so she didn't take a step for a while.

"It's just a few steps, and I will go back after chatting with Mrs. Jin. It doesn't matter."

"Miss Heng'er really cares about her master, and she is also a dowry that accompanied her since she was a child. This one in my family," Shangguan's concubine smiled and turned to look at Xi Wu, "it's much more careless."

"Miss—" Xiwu whispered.

"Here again. Call Madam." Shangguan concubine also whispered.

This is similar to Heng'er.Ji Wanling's master and servant looked at each other.

"Miss Heng'er, don't worry and go first, I will accompany your young lady to come back for a good meal."

If there is nothing wrong, Heng'er will go by himself.One bright emerald and one crimson purple run side by side in the dark night, it's a bit awkward just looking at the combination of colors.

"I've always felt that the reason for this situation is because my sister didn't make a move." The surroundings were quiet, and Shangguan's concubine's voice was even more sweet and waxy.

Ji Wanling said nothing.

"Is my sister still not taking action to calm the chaos?"

"What is Mrs. Jin talking about?"

"Originally, I was the same as the people in the world about the past events of his youth during the reign of Emperor Dingzong. Then you know seven seven eight eight."

she lowered her voice,
"Sister, the past is over, now only you can save the situation. Neither Xirun nor I can."

"Heng'er is going back to make preparations now, and the meal tonight will definitely be rich. Mrs. Jin is impatient, and what can be said slowly at the dinner table should be unfolded in the air at this moment to let it ferment." Ji Wanling finally replied softly,

"It's really disturbing. I don't know if my sister has a sincere friendship or has other plans."

Shangguan was slightly stunned, then smiled again, "My sister is right. I have stayed in this palace for a long time, and I seldom interact with people, gradually I can't even chat casually, and I just want to talk about business." She opened her eyes to look at the palace, The lights are bright,

"Sister, are you tired of being bored? It turns out that being trapped in one world for a long time is so difficult. When I think about the decades to come, I sometimes feel that it is a blessing to die tomorrow."

Tougher than the previous paragraphs.Ji Wanling frowned again,

"Everyone's life is actually trapped in one side of the world. There are very few who can wield their swords to the end of the world. Women are even fewer. I don't think there is much difference between being trapped here and being trapped elsewhere."

"That's because my sister is familiar with and has feelings for this place, and my sister's parents are not far from here."

"Madam Jin is suffering from nostalgia."

Shangguan concubine smiled slightly, "That's right. I started committing crimes when I was grounded last year, and I haven't stopped since."

"I heard that Your Majesty promised you that you can go back to your mother country to visit your relatives this year, and my sister will be reunited with her parents soon."

"Reunion." Shangguan concubine chuckled lightly, "I've gone back, I'll come back again, see you next time, I don't know when. It's just a few meetings, it just adds to the sadness. It's really a chance to go out of the palace," her eyes lightened slightly,

"Then it's time to jump on the cart and mount the horse in a remote place, one person and one ride, isn't it just a sword to the end of the world?"

The gate of Pishuang Temple is within easy reach.Ji Wanling hesitated, and said neither salty nor light:
"I forgot, Mrs. Jin is from Wei, and she has excellent riding skills."

The palace people are already waiting in the vestibule.The reeds are clumps, and the lights and water ripples reflect the palace.The two entered the main hall, went to the side hall, and sat opposite each other.The table is full of dishes, red, green, yellow and white, which is a double sky from the blue color of last night.

"I heard that Your Majesty had dinner at my sister's place last night." Shangguan finished her hands and raised her chopsticks casually, "I thought my sister was going to make a move."

Ji Wanling was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to signal Heng'er to back off.Seeing this, Xiwu respectfully withdrew before her master could speak.

"I'm out."

Shangguan thought that she didn't understand, "What did sister say?"

"Go ahead."

But Gu Xinglang still returned to Turn the Lantern Hall.

Shangguan Concubine had just sipped a small piece of taro, but before she could swallow it, she choked.Ji Wanling continued:
"At Madam Xiajin's invitation for dinner, by allowing you to enter the Frost Palace at this extraordinary time, I want to make it clear: You think highly of me. I can't do what you can't do. You and I have similar goals. , but for different reasons.”
