Chapter 84 Just to see her
"Hey, I'll come right away."
Jiujin is an honest man, he only knows to obey the orders of the eldest lady and does not care about the secular etiquette.
It was the Chinese New Year in Zhuangzi, so Jin Shu and Zhe Lan ignored them. The four masters and servants sat around the table, eating vegetables, drinking wine, and talking and laughing.
Jinshu and Zhelan even guessed at boxing.
Ying Ning couldn't drink wine, and she didn't dare to eat too greasy food. She was worried that the baby would grow too much and it would be difficult to give birth.
She only drank a bowl of porridge, picked some light vegetables to eat, and then lay on the couch, reading a book and listening to their playfulness.
The commotion lasted until midnight. Jin Shu saw Ying Ning's eyes slightly closed and seemed to be sleeping. Knowing that she couldn't stand it, he quickly asked Zhe Lan and Jiu Jin to be quiet and helped Ying Ning go into the room to sleep. They were busy clearing the table.
The bowls and chopsticks, because they had eaten a lot of wine, soon fell asleep randomly.
Ying Ning is now in the third trimester of pregnancy. Her backache is often sore and her sleep is restless. She has to wake up several times at night to drink water and pay homage. Jin Shu and Zhe Lan usually take turns keeping vigil at night.
They both had too much wine during dinner, so Yingning called them a few times but got no reply, so that was it.
She held on to the bed, put on her clothes, and poured herself a cup of tea. Feeling that the room was getting stuffy, she opened the door and went to the corridor to take a breath.
It's snowing.
There was fog everywhere.
Ying Ning stretched out her hand and caught some snow. Under the red lantern, she watched the snow melt little by little in her palm, and couldn't help but sigh.
Jin Shu woke up and found her coming out alone. He quickly came over to help her, "Girl, it's windy and cold outside. Let's go back to the house. Huh?"
"Um."
Ying Ning also felt cold, so she followed her back to the house.
The lights in the room soon went out.
At this time, there was a thin squeaking sound from the wall of the courtyard.
An agile young man with a white face landed steadily on the ground, patted the snow on his hands, and smiled at another handsome young man in black clothes and dark eyes: "Your Highness, it's very cold outside, let's go back. That's in the courtyard.
The girls have already returned to the house."
The handsome young man glanced at the courtyard door and turned around: "Go back to the palace."
"okay!"
The young man immediately ran to fetch two horses, one for each of the young men in black, and asked, "Do you want to remove these footprints and horse hoof marks?"
"No, it's snowing heavily tonight, and the footprints will soon be covered with snow."
The young man in black got on his horse and galloped forward.
The white-faced boy quickly followed up and said with a smile: "We are not celebrating the New Year in the palace in the middle of the night, but we have to ride here for half a day. We are already here. Why don't you just knock on the door and go in to see me?"
The young man in black looked forward, watching the snowflakes fly by his face. He was silent for a while before saying, "She doesn't want to see me."
"So, on this snowy night, you didn't stay vigil in the palace just to take a look at her?" The white-faced boy smiled, "Our Sixth Highness has always been known for being calm and self-possessed. When did he become so infatuated?"
"What a fuss!"
The boy in black put his feet on the horse's belly and rode away quickly.
The wind was strong, the snow was cold, and the night was dark.
But the girl shrouded in the halo of the lantern, her melancholy eyes and her faint sigh could never be erased from his mind.
Why does she look so sad?
Is it because of Gu Yingxun?
Gu Yingxun was determined not to survive until spring came.
If she was really so sad for Gu Yingxun, then should she help Gu Yingxun, or at least prevent him from dying so quickly?
