Princess In Prosperous Age - C135 Heart Under the Moon
Zi Yan was ironing her clothes. Hearing Qiao Liangjin’s words, the iron in her hand paused for a moment before she smiled and said, “Miss, you’re thinking too much. Prince Ning has been working really hard these past few days.”
Qiao Liangjin’s hand kept hitting the surface of the water as he replied lazily, “Of course I know, but why am I here? Why am I sleeping here? And I keep dreaming that I’m going back myself. ”
Zi Yan put the iron aside and walked over. She passed the handkerchief to Qiao Liangjin and gently wiped her back. “Miss, rest well and you will remember what happened.”
Qiao Liangjin nodded and then wrinkled his little face in frustration: “Why did I come to the Southern Kingdom, why did I get a small leopard, why was I poisoned, why …” Why… There are so many reasons why they are in my mind. ”
When Zi Yan heard Qiao Liangjin’s complaints, she couldn’t help laughing out loud and said, “Miss, let’s not think about anything else that we can’t think of. After all, you’re awake now, aren’t you?”
Qiao Liangjin nodded and smiled, “That’s true. Forget it, let’s tidy up a bit before returning to the Royal City.”
After Qiao Liangjin was done packing, Ning Wang sent a butler to invite Qiao Liangjin to dinner.
Qiao Liangjin followed the butler to the back garden and saw a sea of flowers. In the middle of the sea of flowers was a white jade pavilion, which was surrounded by a goose-yellow cloth curtain.
As the butler led the way, Qiao Liangjin slowly walked towards the pavilion while stepping on the fragrant flowers that filled the courtyard.
When she saw Qiao Liangjin, she got up and welcomed him with a smile, “You’ve been sleeping for the past few days and haven’t eaten anything good. Thus, I had the chef I brought from the capital cook some delicacies for you to try.”
Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded and lightly smiled before sitting on the stone bench.
When the dishes were served, Qiao Liangjin discovered that all the delicacies on the table were taken from the Fragrant Sky Restaurant. She grabbed her chopsticks in shock and tried the dish, then gave a thumbs up and said, “It’s really delicious. “Su …”
Qiao Liangjin inexplicably said one word before he stopped moving. She was a little doubtful. Su? What? Why did he blurt out this word?
After finishing the food in his mouth, Qiao Liangjin put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled apologetically, “I’m full, Ningxi.”
“You … “I’m in a bad mood.” When Ning Xi heard that word, his palms started sweating, but he still looked at Qiao Liangjin indifferently.
Qiao Liangjin sighed, poked his temple and said: “I don’t know, but it seems that something went wrong here.” “Oh right, I’m going back.”
Ning Ying’s thick eyebrows slightly raised, and said with a voice that was not loud, “Why are you going back? Now that Xuanyuan Kingdom has come to help the Southern Kingdom in the midst of the war between the two countries, I am afraid that the Eastern Kingdom would intercept you on the way if they knew that you were here. ”
Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and wiped his palms with a wet handkerchief. He stood up and walked to the side of the pavilion. Looking at the flower blooming in the courtyard, he said, “Is there still time for me to be afraid?”
Ning Xi was speechless, that’s right, his Qiao Liangjin had never been afraid, she was strong and independent, never relying on anyone, everything, as long as she thought of it, she would do it bravely, she would never care about her gains and losses, even if it meant paying her own life.
Ning Ying took a deep breath and shook his head. “The Xuanyuan Nation has withdrawn their troops. Currently, our Southern Kingdom is in deep waters and in flames. I presume …” Right now, it will be very difficult for you to leave the Southern Kingdom. ”
Qiao Liangjin suddenly turned around and looked at Ning Ying in surprise. Her brain was working hard to tell her that Xuanyuan Kingdom had retreated, and the Southern Kingdom was isolated and without help. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister, or perhaps she could become a chess piece threatening Xuanyuan Kingdom to continue helping out.
Qiao Liangjin silently smiled, clapped and said, “Truly a good chess piece. I sometimes think, Ning Xi, just what are you thinking about me? No wonder you used so much strength to save me. It should be because of my identity. ”
Ning Ying’s pupils suddenly shrank. So that’s how she thought of him. Ning Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Jin’er, you … Don’t know my mother? ” Ning Ying stood up and was about to walk towards Qiao Liangjin.
However, unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin nimbly dodged him, walked to the entrance of the pavilion, and said without turning his head, “Since you saved me, I will leave your palace in seven days. If you do not send me away in seven days, I will carve a bloody path out of this Southern Kingdom. “Ning Ying, you know me. Since I’ve already said it, I will definitely do it.”
With that, he left the pavilion, leaving Ning Xi standing alone in the middle.
Zi Yan followed Qiao Lianjin back to his room and asked anxiously: “Miss, will the prince put you under house arrest?”
The corner of Qiao Liangjin’s lips curled up as he smiled and said: “He dares?”
Late at night, Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and jumped onto the roof. He sat on the roof and looked towards the north. She thought of Qiao Zheng, thought of Qiao Ruo Ying, and thought of that rowdy family. She wanted to be alone … Although she didn’t know who that person was, she knew that person was also in the Royal City.
Qiao Liangjin knew that Ning Xi must have changed his memory. Otherwise, why would that person be unable to rush into his mind?
Qiao Liangjin was staring blankly towards the north when he heard a voice from under the roof, “Look at the moonlight. It’s such a good mood. Why don’t I come along as well and have a drink?”
When Qiao Liangjin heard about the wine, he was overjoyed. “You’re still waiting for me to invite you! Hurry up and come up!”
Red Dust stepped onto the roof and lightly walked to Qiao Liangjin’s side and sat down. Qiao Liangjin examined his clothes and said, “Why are there Resurrection Lily flowers on your clothes?”
Hong Chen asked in surprise, “You actually know the Resurrection Lily?”
Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Hong Chen. He grabbed the wineskin in his hand, opened the lid, and straightforwardly drank a few mouthfuls. He then wiped his mouth and passed the wineskin to Hong Chen.
Hong Chen lowered her head to look at the wineskin in her hand and shook her head. “You don’t look like a woman at all.”
Qiao Liangjin carelessly leaned his elbows on his knees, his lips curled up and he gave an evil smile: “What’s wrong? How am I not a woman? I have everything that I should have, and I have everything that I shouldn’t have. If I want to, this entire world is mine. ”
Hong Chen pursed her lips and smiled contemptuously, “You’ve only drank two mouthfuls and you don’t know your surroundings.”
Qiao Liangjin laughed and pointed to Hong Chen’s clothes, “Flower of the Resurrection, Yuesheng always said that you are not a human. Could it be that you have cultivated the Resurrection Lily to a human level?”
The expression in Hong Chen’s eyes darkened slightly before she smiled and said, “Miss Qiao, you are always so quick-witted, and you also have a rich imagination.”
Qiao Liangjin sighed, pointed at his head and said: “There is a name here that I can’t remember.”
“Bai Wu?”
“I know Bai Wuyu.”
“That would be clearing up.”
“Clear? Clear up? “Clear up …” Qiao Liangjin muttered as his mind searched desperately for someone, but it was completely empty and she couldn’t think of anything.
“Forget it, don’t even think about it. When you return to the capital, you will be able to see him.” “Like I said, the more seemingly kind people are on the surface, the less likely they will do anything.” Red Dust drank a few mouthfuls of wine, then fished out a bag of beef jerky. He opened the paper packet, picked up a piece of jerky and threw it into his mouth, chewing on it slowly.
Qiao Liangjin stopped rubbing the top of his head and laughed: “You’re right, why should I be serious with myself now? When we go back, everything will become clear.”
Qiao Liangjin ate a few mouthfuls of beef jerky, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and belched a few mouthfuls of wine. He then asked, “Hey, do you have a habit of breaking your sleeves?”
“What does that mean?”
“In other words, you like Bai Wu?”
“Bullshit.” The mortal world scoffed.
Qiao Liangjin burped again and said: “But you are very protective of him. It looks like you can give up your life for him.”
Red Dust was lying on his back on the tile. He had one hand on his pillow as he looked at the moon in the sky. He smiled and said, “That’s right. I protected him. He nourished me with his blood and bone. I will repay him for life.”
The more Qiao Liangjin heard, the more he felt that something was amiss. Why did it even involve blood and bones? She looked at Hong Chen’s face carefully, shook her head, and said, “The two of you are even related in bone and blood? I can’t help but think, can you talk properly? ”
Hong Chen coldly snorted again. “Are you even a woman now?”
“Who said that women should not think random thoughts? “Since ancient times, I have listened to the story of how men and men falling in love.” Qiao Liangjin said calmly.
Red Dust cast another glance at Qiao Liangjin, indicating that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
Qiao Liangjin heard the disdainful snort from Hong Chen’s nose. She grinned and waved, “Forget it, I’m not in the wrong. If you guys really love each other, I should be wishing you well, not gossiping. Not to mention, my thinking is so avant-garde, I can accept anything.”
The more Hong Chen heard, the more unreliable she felt. She turned around and said, “I really don’t know what’s so good about you.”
When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he burst out laughing. She raised her wine bag and stood up, pointing at the moon, “What’s so good about me? “I can restrain myself, I can protect myself, I can protect the people around me, I’ve always been a person that doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend anyone. Am I not very outstanding?”
When Red Dust heard these words, he coldly snorted once again.
Qiao Liangjin realized that Hong Chen was not going to respond, so she sat back down. She poked her arm with her wine bag and said, “Forget it, I’m going to sleep. I’ll return the wine to you. I’m going to sleep.”
Hong Chen waved her hand without turning her head back.
Qiao Liangjin felt bored and could only jump off the roof and return to his room.
It was just dawn when Qiao Liangjin heard the clamor coming from the yard. She got up and put on her clothes and went out. She was surprised to find that this small garden was filled with guards wearing khaki clothes.
One of the guards who seemed to be the leader of the group walked over, cupped his hands and bowed towards Qiao Liangjin, “Greetings Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao, His Majesty welcomes you.”
Qiao Liangjin immediately understood why so many guards had arrived. She smiled sweetly and said, “Sure, I’ll go clean up.”
The guard quickly stopped Qiao Liangjin from entering the palace and smiled. “No need, no need, Miss Qiao. All the things in the palace are already prepared. His Majesty wants to invite Miss to stay in the palace for a few days.”
