Chapter 55(1/2)
The candles swayed in the study, and one of them was on Yingying's right hand.
Hearing the word "Yan Ning", all her sleepy insects ran away. She subconsciously looked up at Qin Rong, and Qin Rong also looked down at her. Under the candlelight, Qin Rong's face fell into shadows, and a little dark color covered her eyes, making her eyes look dark, and she also adds chills.
"The lonely Yingying is indeed adorable." Qin Rong put down the memorial, held Yingying tightly and pressed her chin against her shoulders.
If Qin Rong's voice was not still gentle and gentle, Yingying would have thought he was angry. Her little finger was hooked by Qin Rong. Qin Rong played with Yingying's right hand and asked leisurely: "I wonder what happened to His Highness Yan Ning visiting late at night?"
At the time of the Xu Dynasty, it was not considered late at night. It was just Yan Ning, a big man, and it was not appropriate to come to see the Crown Princess at night. Fortunately, Yan Ning knew a little bit of responsibility and knew to come to Qin Rong to ask about this matter first.
It was said that this matter was a bit special, but Xiaodai couldn't explain it clearly in a few words. She organized the language and frowned and said, "Go back to the Crown Prince, Your Highness Yan Ning is not in the East Palace at this time."
"He... His Highness seemed to have sneaked out, saying that he was asking the Empress for something, and that he would not delay too long, but just a few words to say."
"Oh?" Qin Rong was intrigued. He hooked Yingying's little finger and wrapped her whole hand in his palm. A low voice came into her ears: "So... do Yingying want to go?"
Is he going to let her decide?
Yingying was stunned for a moment, and the word "want to go" almost rushed to her mouth, but she let her swallow it back.
The lessons from the previous life are vivid in my mind, and Yingying has never forgotten how possessive Qin Rong is. He doesn't like her being close to the men next to her, and even she will be unhappy when she plays and hugs her brother, let alone Qiu Yu and others with a good relationship with him.
As for His Highness Yanning...
Yingying suddenly realized that the man in front of her was her third brother after she was reborn, not the violent and terrifying "prince's brother" who became emperor in her previous life.
She didn't want to deceive Qinrong, and just happened to want to explore Qinrong's bottom line of indulgence on her, so she told the truth: "I want to go."
"His Royal Highness Yan Ning is not a person who is not dependent on his own. He has no friends on weekdays. He wants to come so late and run out secretly. He must have something urgent to tell me."
With the matter of sending Zhao Shi during the day, Yingying still had some hope for Qin Rong. She stared at Qin Rong with bright eyes. Qin Rong looked at her for a while and raised her hand to cover her eyes. She sighed and pressed her forehead against her forehead, "Will Brother San not allow you to go to him?"
"If the third brother is not allowed, what should Yingying do?"
Yingying paused and shook her head, "I don't know."
She really didn't know, and she had no idea and had planned it like this, just as if she knew that Qin Rong would definitely nod in agreement.
Qin Rong didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He pushed the person off his leg and said lightly: "Then go, come back soon."
It was a little cold at night, and Yingying was wearing very little clothes, but she really didn't want to come out of his arms. She shrank her shoulders. Yingying saw that Qin Rong was really sure that she would go to see Qin Rong, so she took two steps tentatively. Looking back, Qin Rong looked at her with her chin, but she didn't stop her when she saw her turning back.
"Third brother is so nice!" Yingying likes Qin Rong very much, and couldn't help but run back to him and kiss him on the lips.
She was about to run away after kissing, but Qin Rong grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait."
Qin Rong called Xiaodai to wear a robe and personally helped her tie it up and put on a hood. "Come back early, don't let your third brother wait for you for too long."
Yingying felt like she became the little emperor and was sent out by Wenrou Zhenggong himself. Looking at Qin Rong's beautiful face, Yingying became playful, tiptoed to hug his neck, and lay in his ear to make a sound. She said, "I remember, the beauty brother will just wash it and wait on the couch."
It was rare to see her dare to call him like this again. Qin Rong smiled softly and gently bit her lips with Yingying's back of her head, "Okay, that third brother is waiting."
Who was transferred to the play will be determined later.
“…”
Following Xiaodai's guidance, Yingying quickly found Yan Ning who was waiting outside the East Palace.
He was covered in black, his whole body was tighter than Yingying, and a piece of his arms bulged and moved from time to time. A subtle cat moan came, Yan Ning looked down and said softly: "Shh--Don't scream."
The last time I parted, it was at the wedding between Yingying and Qin Rong. Yan Ning fell into the water in Jiuhua Palace and injured her body. She took a long time to recover before she got better. She said that she had been better, but when Yingying saw him, she still felt that his face was not good.
"...Your Highness is looking for me?" Yingying learned about what he was about to leave when she heard Xiaodai say.
When Yan Ning saw her walking two steps forward, he coughed and said, "That day you married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was far away and could not say goodbye to you. I think it's a bit too late to say it now."
"It's not too late." Yingying didn't mind at all. Although the two couldn't speak at the time, Yan Ning sent someone to give her a wedding gift that day. It was a silk satin snow-covered cloak made by Nanyin Kingdom. Since it was windproof and rainproof, it was a precious famous cloak of Nanyin Kingdom.
Thinking of the news I heard from Xiaodai, Yingying was about to ask if it was true or not, but a few cat moans came from the two of them, and a furry little head was revealed from the cloak. Yingying saw it and stared at the kitten with big eyes.
"Empress."
Anyway, the cat was exposed, and Yan Ning didn't hesitate anymore. He explained: "I don't have much time anymore, so I can only take this opportunity to find the queen, and I hope the queen doesn't mind."
"Yan Ning just wants to ask the Queen, you... can you take these two cats in?"
After saying that, Yan Ning lifted his clothes and exposed the two kittens, one black and one white, which was Xiaobao and Abei. Yingying was a little surprised: "...Do you want them anymore?"
After saying that, she realized what was wrong with her words and quickly explained: "No, is Your Highness not bringing them back to Nanyin?"
Why doesn't he want to?
With the night, Yingying couldn't see the bitterness in Yan Ning's smile. He just shook his head and said, "Nanyin's journey is long, so it's inconvenient to bring them."
Yingying always feels that people who like small animals like Yan Ning will not abandon their pets for such reasons.
There must be other reasons that forced him to abandon his two kittens, but since he refused to say that, Yingying would not chase after others with carelessness, so Yingying took the two kittens into her arms and promised: "Don't worry, your highness, Yingying will definitely raise Xiaobao and Abei in white and fat."
She looked down at Abe, who was black all over her body and only had bright eyes. She added: "Heihei and fat."
Yan Ning was amused by her. He smiled lightly and rubbed the heads of the two kittens one by one as if he was reluctant to leave.
Xiaobao meowed, and it rubbed Yan Ning's white fingers with its head, as if it was acting coquettish. Yingying saw this and teased them with her fingers. Xiaobao quickly forgot about Yan Ning's existence, turned around and rubbed Yingying again, which was heartless.
Yan Ning lowered his hand and stared at them in a daze, and then said for a moment: "So, I'll feel relieved."
Yingying always felt that Yan Ning was not very happy. It seemed that since the visit of the Nanyin Kingdom mission, he had become more and more depressed day by day. Yingying still remembers that when she first met Yan Ning, the fair and clean His Highness Yan Ning would blush when she smiled. His gentleness was different from the gentleness that Qin Rong gave her, but the gentleness made people feel very comfortable.
"…When will your Highness set off for Nanyin?"
"It's two or three days left, maybe this is our last meeting."
I don’t know which kitten in my arms suddenly licked the back of Yingying’s hand. Yingying felt itchy and smiled and tightened her arms. “It’s okay, Yingying can go to see Your Highness at that time.”
Yan Ning refused without thinking: "No need, instead of lingering... it's better to just disappear."
Seeing that Yan Ning was decisive and Yingying couldn't say anything else, she could only say: "If that happens... Yingying can only congratulate Your Highness in advance."
"What are you congratulating?"
"Of course I am congratulating Your Highness on returning home."
Yingying learned something from Qin Rong. It is said that the old emperor of Nanyin spent a lot of effort to get Yan Ning back to China. This time he gave Princess Huale directly. I think he really loved her, and even if she didn't love her, she would definitely pass the throne to him.
Yan Ning was silent, probably because he didn't even feel disguised, and there was no smile on his face. It was not until he noticed Yingying's puzzled expression that he spoke coldly: "Yes, I can go home soon."
"You can leave here forever soon and never come back."
"They can't control whether it's life or death."
"...Your Highness?" Yingying really felt that Yan Ning was a little strange today.
Yan Ning looked at her, opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but suddenly a low laugh broke out. Not far away, footsteps approached, Princess Huale shook a golden fan and walked towards her. She looked at Yan Ning and sneered: "Brother, I really make it easy to find in this palace."
"Why don't you call the emperor girl together?"
She was also surrounded by a burly man with a expressionless face and fierce appearance. She walked slowly to the side of the two. Princess Huale suddenly tilted her head and looked at Yingying. Yan Ning strode forward and blocked Yingying behind her: "I'm just here to send a cat to the nunniang."
"Cat? What cat?" Princess Huale raised her eyebrows, closed the golden fan with a snap, and brushed Yan Ning away with the head of the fan.
Yingying looked at them blankly and circled the two kittens with her arms.
Her clothes were very big, and Huale couldn't see what was being held in Yingying's arms for a while. Seeing Huale reaching out and lifting Yingying's cloak, Yan Ning frowned and wanted to stop him and closed her mouth. After seeing the cat being held in Yingying's arms, Huale said 'oh', "So that's it."
"Since the cat has been given away, then the emperor will go back with me."
Yan Ning wanted to speak but stopped, looking at Yingying, as if she had something to say. Hua Le smiled again when she saw this. She bent her red lips and shook her folding fan, leaned towards Yingying and said, "It seems that the emperor is very reluctant to leave the emperor, otherwise, the emperor will go to Huale to sit there again?"
Yingying looked at the sky and shook her head and refused: "It's too late, let's go another day."
Just a few polite words, Huale quickly took Yan Ning back. They were also very strange. They were obviously brother and sister, but Yan Ning was suppressed by Huale. I wonder if it should be said that Yan Ning had a good temper and pampered her sister, or that Huale was too strong and did not give her face at all.
Yingying thought about this and suddenly thought of her brother. As expected, her brother was the best. When she thought about seeing Gu Lingxiao tomorrow, Yingying felt very happy.
“…”
Yingying didn't delay too long from outside. After she came back, she didn't go directly to Qin Rong, but arranged a residence for the two kittens.
Looking around, Yingying originally wanted to hand over the two cats to Xiaodai, but Xiaodai followed her every day and had no time to take care of them. Yingying was not worried about the group of palace maids in the East Palace, so she could only keep them by her side.
Yan Ning was very careful and had washed the two kittens before coming. When Yingying held them and slipped into the bedroom, Qin Rong had already finished bathing and sat on the couch. When he saw Yingying coming in, he asked, "What are you holding in your arms?"
Yingying hugged them and walked closer a few steps, revealing them to Qin Rong.
"...Is it OK?" Both kittens are very beautiful, and they are not a big deal now.
Qin Rong lowered her eyes and looked at the cat in her arms, leaned against the couch and asked, "What can I do?"
"Can you keep them in the bedroom?"
Fearing that Qin Rong refused, Yingying got closer a little longer and carefully placed the two kittens on his knees.
Seeing that Qin Rong was not moving, Yingying held his hand and touched the cat's soft hair. However, Qin Rong's hand was too big, and his cat seemed to be grabbed by him in the palm of his hand. Yingying couldn't understand Qin Rong's thoughts, so she could only grab his hand and let him touch it a few times.
"Soft or not?"
"They are so obedient, they won't make noise or make trouble."
The black cat Abei raised his eyes lazily. When he saw Qin Rong, he rubbed his cheek. Seeing this, the little white cat meowed and pressed against Abei and wanted to rub Qin Rong's hand.
"They seem to like you very much." Yingying looked happy and reached out to touch Xiaobao, but was slapped in the claws by Xiaobao.
When he pulled his hand back, Qin Rong pulled her hand and looked carefully. Seeing that Yingying had nothing to do, he used his index finger to tick Xiaobao's chin and said leisurely: "This is just not very obedient."
"But Xiaobao is very beautiful, and it's normal to have a little temper."
