Chapter 75 Stargazing

On the way, Jiang Changning asked King Jin, "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when you get there." King Jin remained mysterious.

Jiang Changning did not ask any more questions, secretly guessing where King Jin would take her.

But there were no hints, no clues, just guessing out of thin air. She couldn't guess it, so she had to give up.

The carriage stopped, and King Jin smiled, "We're here."

He got off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Jiang Changning get off the carriage.

Jiang Changning looked up and saw a seven-story brick building next to it, "Star Observation Tower."

A little surprised, she didn't expect King Jin to take her to see the stars.

Having negotiated in advance, the couple went directly upstairs.

The seven-story building is quite high. When he climbed to the fifth floor, Jiang Changning was a little out of breath.

She is not a sports person. She usually does yoga and takes a walk. Today, she exercised too much.

"Can't walk?" King Jin asked with concern.

"Take a break." Jiang Changning leaned on the handrail of the stairs, his fair cheeks stained with two clusters of blush, his lips were slightly parted, his chest was rising and falling, and he was breathing rapidly.

King Jin suddenly felt that bringing Jiang Changning to the Star Observation Tower for stargazing was a wrong decision. He should have taken her to Zhangya Villa.

But that was already the case at this time, so... King Jin stepped forward and hugged Jiang Changning.

After Jiang Changning exclaimed, his hands naturally hugged his neck, "No, I can walk up. You are too tired like this."

"You're not tired, you're so light, I can carry you." Prince Jin walked up a flight of stairs, "Ning Ning, don't underestimate your husband."

"Never underestimated." Jiang Changning smiled hard and hugged him tightly with both hands, really afraid that he would be unable to fall to her halfway.

The King of Jin was worthy of being a brave general with both civil and military skills, capable of mounting a horse to kill the enemy. He held Jiang Changning without any pressure.

Step by step, he carried the person steadily up to the seventh floor. The seventh floor is a half-slope roof and half terrace, and ancient astronomical instruments are placed on the terrace.

You don't need these instruments for stargazing. Just look up at the sky and see the stars.

Standing on this tall building, so close to the sky, it feels like a precarious building with a height of hundreds of feet, and you can pick the stars with your hands.

"Sure enough, for stargazing, you still have to stand at a high place. Looking at the stars from here is much more beautiful than looking at them in the yard." Jiang Changning laughed, "I hate it when I use it. I don't know how to describe the beautiful scenery in front of me.

.”

"What if the big star shines brightly and the small star makes a fuss?"

"Okay." Jiang Changning smiled and looked sideways at the people beside him.

I don’t know if it was because the man’s handsome profile was too charming, and the vast starry sky was so beautiful that Jiang Changning, who was already a little drunk, blurted out, “I will win tonight with you, let’s watch the stars together to the fullest.”

This almost confessional poem made the King of Jin happy. He stretched out his long arms, hugged Jiang Changning into his arms, lowered his head in Jiang Changning's ear, and said softly: "We sleep together tonight as mandarin ducks, and we will be with you every night from now on."

The warm breath sprayed in her ears, and the confusion in Jiang Changning's eyes disappeared. She wanted to break away from Prince Jin's arms, but Prince Jin held him tightly, so she couldn't force herself, so she had to relax and let him

Hold.

Among the four seasons of the year, the starry sky in winter is the most magnificent, and winter is also the season with the most bright stars among the four seasons.

The Milky Way is far away and the stars are shining brightly.

Orion is the symbol of the winter starry sky. Jiang Changning quickly found it and used it as a coordinate to find more bright stars.

Jiang Changning sighed and said, "Orion is indeed the most prominent and gorgeous constellation in the winter night sky."

"Orion, what is that?" King Jin asked.

After hearing his question, Jiang Changning remembered that Orion is the Western term for the constellation.

"It's Rigel." Jiang Changning stretched out his right hand and pointed at the starry sky, "When you connect those stars, don't you think it's like a person holding a bow and arrow?"

"The general also holds a bow and arrow, so he is not necessarily a hunter." King Jin said with a smile.

"Then the general constellation." Jiang Changning changed the name of the Orion constellation without any burden.

Prince Jin smiled, turned around, found her lips, and pecked her lightly, "Ning Ning has a very good imagination."

"This is not my imagination, I heard it from others. There is a beautiful legend about this constellation." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"I'm all ears." Prince Jin pecked her lips again.

"The son of Poseidon often boasted that there was no prey in the world that he could not hunt. The Queen felt that he was too arrogant, so she sent a poisonous scorpion to punish him. The son of Poseidon and the poisonous scorpion died together, and the son of Poseidon became a

Orion, the poisonous scorpion transformed into Scorpio.”

"Where is Scorpio?" King Jin asked with a smile.

"You can't see Scorpio in winter. Scorpio is the business star. It is the brightest star in the summer night sky. If you don't meet each other in life, it will be like participating in business."

"Ning Ning also knows so much about the stars."

"I love reading miscellaneous books."

"It seems that I should read more miscellaneous books in the future."

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, Jiang Changning turned his head away and sneezed.

"The wind has picked up, let's go down." King Jin said as he went to hug Jiang Changning again.

"I'm rested, I can go on by myself." Jiang Changning backed away resistingly.

"If you can't walk, tell me." King Jin stretched out his hand, "I'll hold your hand."

I have just rejected him once, will I offend him if I reject him again?

Jiang Changning stretched out his hand and let him lead him downstairs.

At this time, in the Jin Palace, Mrs. Qiao was sitting alone on the big kang near the window, staring at the oil lamp on the kang table, not knowing what she was thinking.

The dim light reflected on her lonely face, and her whole person exuded a heavy death aura.

A maid came in from outside the house. Mrs. Qiao sat up straight and asked eagerly: "The prince is back?"

"Not yet." The maid replied.

Qiao became weak again, "I've been out for a day, where can I play for so long?"

This question did not require the maid to answer. Mrs. Qiao waved her hand to let the maid go out, while she continued to stare at the lamp in a daze.

When King Jin and Jiang Changning returned to the palace, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was past the curfew time.

The couple got off the carriage and got on the sedan chair back to Rujingyuan.

After a day out, Jiang Changning, who had not taken a nap at noon, was exhausted. He leaned on the sedan chair and took a nap with half-closed eyes.

Suddenly Cao Jiang shouted coldly: "Who is it?"

Jiang Changning suddenly woke up, couldn't he? They've all entered the palace, and there are assassins?

It is not impossible for an assassin to sneak into the palace, but the person Cao Jiang brought out was not an assassin, but a maid.

The maid was blown by the cold wind and sneezed, which Cao Jiang, who has both ears and eyes, heard.

"Who are you? What are you doing hiding there?" Cao Jiang asked sharply.

"I'm on duty at Ronghuayuan. I just passed by. No, I'm not hiding there." The maid quibbled.

Ronghuayuan is the courtyard of the Qiao family. Among the entire back houses of the palace, it is located closer to the inside and is the penultimate courtyard on the West Road.

I work in Ronghuayuan and pass by here, is it possible?

"Take him down for interrogation." King Jin's voice was cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Jiang accepted the order.
