048 Another Storm
Ning Ke subconsciously turned his head and looked around. A trace of quiet air swayed, and there was no trace of the inner courtyard of the palace. Suddenly, he smiled mockingly. Even Wei Chi was his person, so how could he not know which road and when was there anyone? Even if someone was sent to Wei Chi to explain, who would dare to appear here again?
"I dare not."
The smile that has been carefully considered is still mixed with reserve, arrogance and indifference.
However, this smile made Rong Chu very unhappy. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Ning Ke's lips, and sighed sadly, "Are you tired of smiling like this all the time?"
"I am worried about the prince, but I am not tired." Ning Ke still lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.
"It looks so good to look downward." Rong Chu rubbed Ning Ke's lips again, with a little disappointment and depression.
Ning Ke's smile suddenly froze. People in the world always ask for laughter, but this person let the corner of his mouth curled down, what's the intention? So he locked his eyebrows and turned his head, "I just want to be at peace and happiness."
"But I don't want you to live so against your will."
The moonlight is so cool, with a corner of flying eaves in the mottled tree shadows, mandarin ducks cross their necks on the eaves, pearls hang upside down, the lanterns in the vermilion palace are magnificent, magnificent, as if they are a fairyland on earth. Such a prosperous and charming state, except for Qionghua Palace, is not as good as this.
In a moment of tranquility, Ning Ke's thoughts followed the flying eaves of the eaves that looked like a dream.
After a long time, Rong Chu whispered, "Ruge, don't live so tiring. I just hope you can be an ordinary person."
Ordinary people?
Ning Ke suddenly sneered, his head half turned, and looked at Rong Chu's seemingly serious expression in the unclear light. The night became darker, and the man's eyes became deeper and elusive in the darkness. The noble but inaccessible aura was emitted on his body. Such a pride of heaven!
"One day I will be an ordinary woman, but ordinary women will eventually have ordinary people to match." Ning Ke lowered his eyes, smiling like water, but it was so cold that it was shocking. "Everyone wants to live a peaceful and quiet day, with smoke rising in the cooking evening, and the flying clouds. When he is thirsty, someone brings my favorite tea. When he is sleepy, someone holds me in his arms. Even if I am gone one day, the people who accompany me will think of me every day. No matter where I am, I will not be lonely."
"But your Highness, can you leave everything behind and be that ordinary person with me?"
Ning Ke smiled, and the mist in his eyes dispersed, with a little joking and seriousness, staring at Rong Chu in a daze. The stars in the sky were as bright as a river, and it was not as bright as the woman's eyes at this moment.
It’s so cold that it’s so cold, but after climbing to that highest point, how many people are willing to come down?
She was sure that he would not. His heart was always tied to the imperial power throne, and he was on the throne of thousands of miles, and he always made plans. Even if he wanted to retreat, those unjust souls who sacrificed for his bright future would not allow it.
"Actually we are the same people." Rong Chu let go of his hand and put Ning Ke out of his arms. "I am not willing to be lonely, just like Kunpeng wings to wait for a hurricane. One day the wind blows, it can sway above, and you and I can step on the nine heavens and thousands of miles away."
"Yeah?"
Ning Ke took a few steps, looked back and chuckled, not saying anything.
"The prince is worried, I will go home now."
...The woman's smile was unpredictable, and she still felt proud of chastity and questioning the moment before, but in the blink of an eye, she was still the young prime minister who was famous for her calmness. Her lips curled up as usual, bowed and quickly stepped out of the crimson high wall.
Rong Chu twisted the familiarity between his fingers, and gradually cooled down the temperature. He chuckled and returned to Zhongcui Palace.
No one knew what happened in the Zhongcui Palace that night. Maybe it was the father and son who had a deep heart-to-heart talk, or maybe it was just that you were always cheating when you were going back and forth.
However, when he retired from the court the next day, Ning Ke was left alone by Emperor Zhaohe.
When he went out again, Ning Ke looked hurried and said that he had been off for a few days and stopped attending court. He even refused to seek courtship as an advisor and responded to the palace, and returned to Guozixue peacefully as his lecturer, and thanked guests in a closed door, which was very much ambition to stay away from the government.
Rong Jing rarely asked someone to send Ning Ke a pair of blue and white porcelain lotus-shaped paperweights, but the man had just entered the door of the Qin Wang Mansion, and Ning Ke asked someone to send it back. Rong Jing jumped and cursed, saying that he would not be close to Ning Ke in the future. But within a few days, he sent someone to invite Ning Ke to the Qin Wang Mansion to talk. Ning Ke did not refuse again this time.
But there was another good person saying that in the Qin Palace that day, Rong Jing invited Emperor Changping's Princess. During the meal, Changping's words made Ning Ke unhappy, and a good meal was delayed. Ning Ke shook his sleeves and claimed that he would no longer be close to the people in the Qin Palace.
"No?" Rong Chu leaned under the window, holding a volume of "Huajian Ci" in his hand, with a faint smile.
"Yes, there have been only these rumors recently. Oh, right? Someone wondered why you no longer win over Lord Ning." Zi Lian lowered his hands and stood respectfully. Only in front of Rong Chu could he return to his duty as a secret guard.
