BSI Chapter 16 Autumn Water
Chapter 16 Autumn Water
Ning Ziling's expression was very natural, as if she thought that no one would reject her because of Ning Zisheng.
Ning Zisheng also turned his eyes lightly, waiting for Liu Li to make a decision.
The corners of Liu Li's brows twitched, thinking that there is no need to talk about it, only a fool would show affection to the female partner in front of the female lead, and immediately said with a straight face: "Your Highness Fifth, you are already old, His Highness Ninth is only 12 years old , you are still robbing her, isn't that bad."
This was said too directly, and it was a bit suspected of creating hatred for Ning Zisheng.To put it in a more tactful way, I think it's a little more face-saving.
But the heroine's thoughts are beyond the female lead's ability to guess, Liu Li is afraid that he is not direct enough, making Ning Zisheng feel that he has not defended her, so he decisively stands in line.
Anyway, even if Ning Zisheng was aroused hatred, with her luck value, there would definitely be no major incidents.
Sure enough, Ning Ziling glanced at Ning Zisheng with displeasure, and asked in a deep voice, "Ninth Sister, is that so?"
Liu Li usually has an outspoken temperament, and Ning Zisheng is used to it, so she didn't think that she was intentionally diverting Ning Ziling's attention to herself.
Facing Ning Ziling's attack, she said softly, "Fifth Sister doesn't eat spicy food on weekdays, so why do you want to eat it now?"
The fifth princess let out an "ah", only to realize that the shrimp was dipped in spicy peppers, she immediately lost interest, and asked the maid to stop.
She suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Ning Zisheng suspiciously: "Ninth Younger Sister is well-informed, she knows my taste perfectly."
Ning Zisheng smiled impeccably, without leaking water, didn't say anything, just glanced at Ning Zichun casually.
Ning Ziling naturally followed her gaze.
Coincidentally, Ning Zichun interjected at this moment: "Fifth Sister is really precious, you can't even eat spicy food."
Ning Ziling was furious immediately.
Ning Zichun had always said bad things about her behind her back, and she must have exaggerated behind her back that she couldn't eat spicy food.
The Ninth Princess usually walks and walks alone, so it must be Ning Zichun, a gossip woman who goes around talking nonsense, and let her listen to it.
The fifth princess fought back in resentment, and the eighth princess was unwilling to show weakness, so the two started a new round of confrontation.
Ning Zisheng stayed out of the matter, and only raised the corners of his mouth slightly mockingly.
Two idiots.
Liu Li naturally understood it, and at the right time, he leaned over and offered his compliment in Ning Zisheng's ear: "Your Highness is amazing."
Ning Zisheng was not used to being so close to people, just about to turn his head subconsciously, but he smelled a familiar fragrance.
——It was the smell of Liu Li's hair.
Although I usually smell it, I have never felt it so close.
I don't know what she used to wash her hair with. The fragrance is fresh and not too sweet, and there is also a little flower fragrance that is so faint that it is difficult to distinguish.
Ning Zisheng knew that it was Bi Peach Blossom.
But the green peach blossoms bloom in spring, and it has already withered in September. Could it be that I smelled it wrong?
Just when he was about to ask her, the moment he turned his head, Liu Li's smile caught Ning Zisheng's eyes, followed by a slight dimple.
The facial features became softer, and the bent eyes were not only like the silhouette of the moon in the sky, but also like a bay of autumn water, with waves rippling from time to time.
Ning Zisheng lowered his eyes, knowing that he heard the right thing.
The peach blossoms in autumn are far away in the sky and close in front of you.
The moon chasing banquet has lasted for an hour, and Princess Bao'an is really a little tired, starting to feel dizzy and drowsy.
She always likes to be quiet, and being able to survive in such a crowded place is already the limit.
Emperor Jiacheng watched the six directions with his eyes and listened to all directions, and soon noticed the abnormality in Bao'an.
Needless to say, the old eunuch next to him was very good at observing words and expressions, and quickly walked to Baoan's side lightly, and asked, "Miss Princess, do you want to rest for a while?"
"En." Bao'an responded, leaning against the mahogany table, listening to all kinds of noises, with a splitting headache, tried to laugh, "I'm really exhausted, I need to take a break."
The eunuch smiled and said, "Okay, this old slave will take you to the back hall of Hanyuan Hall."
Hanyuanqian Hall is the place where people usually go to court. It has a wide view and can accommodate thousands of people.
Hearing this, Baoan's face turned pale, but she didn't have a good complexion at first, so it was not obvious, and her tone was pleading: "I'm really tired, and I want to go back to Penglai Palace to rest, is that okay? Eunuch Yao."
"It's not even halfway through the moon chasing banquet, and the princess is leaving the banquet at this time, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette."
Baoan almost choked up and begged him: "Elder-in-law..."
This Eunuch Yao is an old man in the palace, and he watched Baoan grow up, so he naturally has some feelings, but he lowered his voice, and he couldn't bear it: "It's the meaning of the Holy One."
Baoan glanced at Emperor Jiacheng in despair.
He clearly had a panoramic view of all this, but there was no reaction, which meant that it was self-evident, so Baoan had to close his eyes in pain: "Okay, please trouble your father-in-law."
Eunuch Yao only led Baoan and two maids to leave the table, and Yu'er and Di'er who were arranged over there were ordered to stay where they were, and anxiously made a secret gesture to Liu Li from a distance.
Liu Li then pulled Ning Zisheng's sleeve calmly.
The two have reached a consensus that the person who attacked Bao'an behind his back must take action tonight.
Bao An had just left for a while, and the two got up at the same time, and the maid serving dishes at the side asked them where they were going, only to hear Liu Li laughing and saying: "Change clothes."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu'er and Di'er behind him: "Still not following?"
"Changing clothes" has more than one meaning in ancient times. It can refer to going to the toilet implicitly, or it can refer to changing clothes.Of course, no matter what, it is a good excuse to leave.
The closest to the front hall of Hanyuan is naturally the other side halls of Hanyuan hall, so Liu Li and Ning Zisheng brought the little maids to the back hall logically.
Baoan was resting inside, and there were two court ladies standing beside the ocher door frame.
They were not brought into the palace by Bao'an, but from Emperor Jiacheng. Liu Li thought it would be better to let them go, but he couldn't think of a way for a while, and felt a little worried.
Several people hid around the corner like thieves, in a dilemma.
Ning Zisheng patted Xiaorui's shoulder quietly, she understood immediately, took out two pebbles that she had just picked up outside, flicked them lightly, and the two maids fell to the ground.
Liu Li:?
Jiao'er and Yu'er were also taken aback, Ning Zisheng explained in a low voice: "Xiao Rui knows acupressure."
This was not mentioned in the original book, Liu Li silently gave Xiao Rui a thumbs-up, and felt more and more that his decision not to offend her was correct.
"Move people away and watch them here." Ning Zisheng ordered, "If someone comes, keep your head down so that no one can see your face."
Before coming here, Liu Li had already mentioned something to these girls, don't ask why, just do it.
Liu Li quickly walked in with Ning Zisheng, only to see Baoan resting with his eyes closed, his health still intact.
As soon as she let go of her hanging heart, Bao An heard the movement and opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Liu Li, she struggled to get up, with an anxious expression on her face:
"You shouldn't be here, go away!"
