Chapter 89: Entering the Princess Palace for the first time
Chapter 89 Entering the Princess Mansion for the First Time
Ning Que decided to spend a day instead of going upstairs to read, and took Sang Sang to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then kill someone by the way. Sang Sang really didn't like this decision, not because she didn't like killing people - she had been doing this since she was a child.
Behind Ning Que, Ning Que saw that Ning Que had killed too many people, and he no longer felt anything. He just didn't like that Ning Que still refused to take a real rest for a day in such a physical condition.
Although the little maid was in a mood, she still didn't discount the omelette noodles at night. The reason why there was no Sichuan peppercorns or chopped green onions in the noodles was not a punishment, but because Ning Que had been feeling nauseous and vomiting at night these days, and his stomach and intestines couldn't bear it.
With these spicy condiments, you must eat more lightly.
After eating the omelette noodles, he scalded his feet with hot water until they were almost red. Ning Que fell comfortably on the bed. Sang Sang washed his little feet with the remaining water, then poured out the foot-washing water and climbed up.
Get on the bed, spread your slender legs and ride on his waist, and start massaging him to soothe him.
After confirming that he was asleep, Sangsang sighed softly, raised his right arm to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead, walked to the other end of the bed with his knees, got into his own quilt, and pressed against Chen Jinji's powder box.
Fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by Ning Que's painful moans and rolling sounds. Gulu rolled out of the quilt, got out of bed and stepped on the old shoes. He used his toes to pull out the copper basin under the bed very skillfully, and then tilted it.
He sat next to Ning Que and patted his back with his small hands, occasionally rubbing it hard from top to bottom.
Ning Que's face was pale and he was lying on his stomach next to the bed. He stretched out half of his body to face the copper basin below and kept retching. His eyebrows were twisted together, looking extremely painful. The food he had eaten earlier had passed through the gastrointestinal tract, so he vomited it out now.
The only thing left was the two cups of hot tea I drank before going to bed, and some gastric juice and bile.
Ever since he started going upstairs to read in the academy, he had endured this kind of torture several times every night. Not only did his body become weaker, but Sangsang was also extremely tired from the torment during the day.
Whenever he fell asleep, the ink characters he read in Jiuli during the day would transform into thick and dark monsters, emerging from the deepest part of his mind. They would rush and attack with swords and swords, and then rapidly grow in size.
They gathered into a big ship, constantly stirring in his mind, and the blue sea was filled with turbulent waves, which made him extremely dizzy while he was in the sea. There was a feeling of disgust in his chest and abdomen, and he had a strong urge to retching.
It seemed like a nightmare, but Ning Que knew very well that this was not a dream. It was just the aftermath of the excitement between the characters written by the Talisman Masters on the old second floor and his own spiritual world... presented in a mysterious way.
He endured this kind of torture every night. If he could remember those ink words, it would be a reward for his efforts. However, what made him feel extremely disappointed and even extremely angry was that when those ink words made waves in his mind, he felt like he was suffering from a disease.
I suffer from aphasia and word recognition disorder syndrome. I see those ink words clearly appearing in front of my eyes, and they look so familiar, but I can't read them with my mouth open, or recognize what they are.
Day after day, I suffered in the old age, reading unintelligible books, and every night, I was dizzy and uncomfortable in Laobi Studio, reading words I couldn't recognize. It was not just one day, but many days. If it were someone with a slightly weaker willpower,
He may have given up long ago, but for Ning Que, this kind of inhuman pain and torture is the best opportunity he can find in his sixteen years of life. Unless there is no hope until the end, then he will
Will never give up.
It is said that the person who knows you best is your enemy. This sentence is not wrong. The person who knows General Xiahou best in the world must be Ning Que. However, this sentence is not complete, because after many calculations
, the person who knows you best in the world is you yourself after all - Ning Que knows himself very well, so he knows that he will never look back until he reaches the end of the road.
He was not worried that his life was in danger. The female professor had been sitting quietly by the east window. He knew that if nothing happened, he would insist on going upstairs to study hard and read out all the bitterness in his belly for a period of time in the future.
, until his body becomes weaker and weaker, so he must seize the time and cross out as many names on the list as possible.
The second name on the oiled paper was: Chen Zixian, former deputy general under General Xuanwei.
As the most favored princess by the emperor, Li Yu lives in the imperial city all year round, but she also has her own mansion in Chang'an City. On the second day, the place where Ning Que and Sang Sang were taken was a quiet place in Nancheng.
The princess mansion.
Today she is wearing a red and black short skirt. The mid skirt is embroidered with large exotic flowers in bright colors. She wears a deep skirt with a lapel. The skirt has a slight mountainous feel and hangs down to the instep, making it look luxurious.
And yet not vulgar.
"Where's Ning Que?"
Only Sang Sang walked into the back house of the princess mansion.
Li Yu frowned slightly and looked at the little maid who was brought in by the eunuch, then smiled brightly, walked forward and took Sang Sang's cold little hand, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you little guy didn't know to come.
look at me."
Gongwei felt surprised and changed the subject when he asked, but the eunuch did not dare to neglect, and reported with a grimace: "That guy insisted that men and women are different, and he was disrespectful to the princess, so he insisted on waiting outside. Now Peng Peng
The husband is talking to him in the duty room."
Sang Sang let her hold his hand, raised her little face and explained softly: "The young master has not been feeling well recently."
Li Yu lowered his eyelids slightly, covering up the hint of disappointment and anger at the bottom of his eyes. He no longer paid attention to the mud-like young man. He took Sangsang's little hand and walked towards the flat bed. He said mockingly: "That tired boy of yours"
Lazy young master, I don’t know where my energy comes from lately. I have to run to the second floor of the old building every day, how can I feel comfortable?"
"Your Highness, I think the young master is quite remarkable." Sang Sang spoke for Ning Que very seriously.
Li Yu shook his head and chuckled, reached out and tapped Sangsang's slightly dark forehead, and said: "You little girl, you only know that young master all day long, and you don't even think about how he looks like a serious young master. Speaking of which, I just
I feel dissatisfied. For a girl as capable and hard-working as you, Ning Que really doesn’t know how many blessings he has accumulated in his lifetime before he picked you."
While talking, two women, one large and one small, sat down on the soft couch with their knees crossed and their legs crossed.
It is said that the fate between people is really wonderful. When Li Yu saw Sangsang in Weicheng, he felt close to her at the first sight. He also felt pity that she was being used like an ox and a horse by Ning Que. On his way back from the grassland, he often treated her like a maid.
It was quite affectionate to talk to her because of her identity. Sang Sang had grown up with Ning Que since she was a child, and she didn’t have much concept of respect, inferiority, and respect in her mind. She simply felt that Her Highness the Princess was a good person and was willing to get close to her.
.
Li Yu asked Sang Sang a few questions about their master and servant's experiences after arriving in Chang'an City. Sang Sang honestly told all the trivial things like opening a bookstore and taking exams. Li Yuben was silently thinking about Ning Que and Chao Xiao.
The relationship between the trees suddenly felt that Sangsang's little hands were cold and a little rough. Looking at her slightly dark face, he couldn't help feeling pity and said: "I want you to get rid of your slavery, don't follow me anymore."
Ning Que, how about you come to my princess's house and be a steward? I don't want you to wait on others, you just need to take care of the affairs of the house for me."
In the vestibule of the Princess Mansion, outside the guard duty room next to the rockery pool, Peng Yutao frowned and looked at the pale young man on the chair next to him, and couldn't help but said: "You were so brave at Beishan Crossing at that time, why do you look so pale now?
What's going on when you're so weak? Could it be that after a few days of studying in the academy, you became a waste?"
Ning Que smiled, leaned lazily on the bamboo chair and basked in the sun, looked at him and said: "Master Peng, it's not like you didn't see the excitement that day. This matter is still a bit mysterious now that I think about it, and it's useless to mention it more.
By the way, what about those prairie barbarians? And since you and the guard brothers have made great contributions, why are you still in the princess's house?"
"The barbarians that the princess brought back from the grassland were all specially summoned by Your Majesty to join the Yulin Army. You know that our Tang Dynasty has always had this rule. Most of the Yulin Army uses foreigners. As for us..." Peng Yutao said with a smile.
: "We followed His Highness back to fight on the grassland. We really don't want to leave her side anymore, and the palace also has this intention. So now, although I am also serving as the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, I mainly follow His Highness."
The deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion was an extremely important position. Ning Que congratulated him repeatedly, and then suddenly thought of the fight at Chunfeng Pavilion that night. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, secretly thinking that this position was probably vacated that night.
Although the palace tacitly agreed that Peng Yutao would still follow Princess Li Yu, he now held the position of deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion. Especially recently, the Yulin Army Xiaoqi Battalion had been shaken and purged, so he was extremely busy and had a few words with Ning Que about the camp.
Zhongbian came and said that there was something important to deal with. He apologized to Ning Que twice and hurried away.
Some of the guards and barbarians who followed Princess Li Yu have now joined the Yulin Army, and some have returned to the palace. At this time, most of the guards in the princess's palace don't know Ning Que, but they saw that Vice Commander Peng was so polite to the young man.
, and knowing that Her Royal Highness the Princess specially summoned this person, no one dared to be disrespectful to him at all.
The dignified deputy commander of the heroic cavalry battalion was so polite to him. Ning Que knew why this was happening - he saved everyone's lives at the Beishan crossing. People in the Tang Dynasty respected heroes very much, and the two sides formed a fighting friendship on the journey - and more importantly
The reason is that Peng Yutao has probably noticed that the princess is interested in recruiting someone again.
This is also the reason why Ning Que did not enter the back garden of the princess's house today. His focus and goals in life are now on revenge and the academy, and he does not dare to get close to the battles in the upper echelons of the empire, and because of something deep in his heart that makes him
Feeling cold, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from the princess.
Although after fighting side by side with Chao Xiaoshu on that rainy night, whether he wanted to or not, he had been involved in those battles between right and wrong, but he clearly realized that he was still just a small person after all, and following Chao Xiaoshu
Shu can fight for the palace in the night rivers and lakes, but he has to jump out of the gutter and the ground and directly face those doting forces. A small person like himself may die quietly and inexplicably at any time.
It's like the whole family of the general's mansion was raided and beheaded, and it's like the drow who closed his eyes under the wall not long ago.
