Chapter 180 Destined
This day is a good day worth celebrating for the people of Lingying, which is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Liu. Today, as a filial son, he naturally tries his best to celebrate Liu's birthday.
Naturally, this birthday, there are also many envoys from other countries who came to celebrate Liu's birthday, so this birthday is also quite lively.
Everyone gathered around to talk about something, or many people gathered together to talk about something, sometimes making a surprised exclamation, sometimes a sigh of regret, which makes people can't help but be a little strange.
Everyone was discussing something enthusiastically, and saw Liu coming with the help of the maidservant beside him. So, everyone knelt down with one voice and said, "Participate in the Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager a happy life like the East China Sea and live a long life than Nanshan." Below, a group of people said together.
"Well, everyone, get up!" Sitting up, Liu waved his hand gently and then said.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager," everyone said in unison.
Night gradually shrouded the earth. It's another artistic conception.
"Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, so let's enjoy it!" On the throne, Nangong He spoke, and he still had such a faint voice, almost no emotion at all.
"Yes, your Majesty."
The envoys of this other country naturally also include the crown prince of Cangyi. This time, Liu's birthday, it is reasonable that he doesn't have to come here. After all, at the beginning, Cang Qianling, the emperor of Cangyi, originally planned to send his envoys to participate in the birthday of the Empress Dowager Liu of Lingying Kingdom, but he did not expect that Cang Tianqing would come to participate. This son, who has always ignored other things, would make such a request one day, which really surprised the emperor. However, since his son has said so, he naturally can't agree.
According to the rules of this continent, the prince or other princes of Cangyi should be sent to participate in such a birthday. However, because Cang Qianling knows very well what kind of nature his son is, those are attended by the envoys of Cangyi State every year.
And this year, his son went for the first time, which was enough to surprise Cang Qianling. What's more, it's his son who looks indifferent to everything!
And at this moment, Cang Tianqing is looking for the woman who has been hidden in his heart for a long time among these many people! In my memory, that woman always seems to like a white robe. He didn't understand that it was obviously a woman, but why did she dress up as a man? However, at this moment, it is obvious that his mind is not on this issue, but in looking for the woman's figure.
Cang Tianqing gently frowned and looked around, but it was a little messy because there were too many people. Finally, Cang Tianqing's eyes were fixed at a point not far away. Sitting there was the woman he missed in his heart. And she is a little different from the one he saw that day. Originally, he had a little cold face, but now he has a little smile. Maybe it's because of something happy. At this moment, she even has a faint smile on her lips, which makes people want to stay in this moment forever.
When Cang Tianqing saw the face deeply engraved on his heart, a faint smile flashed from the bottom of his eyes. This woman is still as he imagined. Suddenly, Cang Tianqing's eyes skipped across the side. The man next to Shen Qingling saw what she was saying to the man with a beautiful smile. Although the bottom of Cang Tianqing had to admit that the woman's smile was really beautiful, was it for another man?
At this moment, the thoughts came here, and the bottom of his heart was a little happy, but he was a little lost with such thoughts. It turned out that there were other men around her. However, according to his nature, since he will choose to come here in a few days, he will never give up.
His eyes fell on Shen Qingning's body so straight and warm. And over there, it seemed that she felt a warm sight from somewhere. Shen Qingning finally turned her eyes slightly and looked over there. But it was a little unpresure, and he looked at the eyes of Cang Tianqing. That figure seems to be a little familiar. But who is it? Shen Qingning recalled it in her mind, but she still couldn't remember it, so she simply gave up.
"Ninger, what are you looking at?" On the side, Nangong Mo couldn't help asking when he seemed to notice Shen Qingning's eyes looking elsewhere.
"Nothing," Shen Qingning shook her head gently, and then withdrew her sight.
"Ninger, how are you doing these days?" Nangong Mo looked at Shen Qingning. In the past few days, he has been helping his brother investigate some things, so he didn't have much time to take care of Ning'er. Perhaps, only when these things are solved will it be the beginning of their real new life! Therefore, he has been busy these days. And what he is most worried about is that Ning'er is happy now. He is afraid of tiring her.
"Well, it's okay," Shen Qingning nodded gently, with a faint satisfaction in her smile. Yes, if this is the case in this life, it will be the happiest. With such a man who loves you but also you love by her side, what is she not satisfied with? In this life, she only wishes that they can hold their hands and grow old together!
"Ning'er, if you are tired, you must have a good rest," Nangong Mo still told him uneasier. Yes, even if there is the loyal maidservant by Ninger's side all the time. However, as long as he doesn't accompany Ning'er in person, he always feels a little worried. Maybe his worry is a little excessive, but it's also because he loves the woman in front of him too much and is reluctant to leave her for a minute.
"Mo, I will," Shen Qingning nodded and smiled.
And the scene of their interaction fell into the eyes of the man over there. Such a scene, for the scene where the woman in his heart smiled beside other men, was really dazzling for Cang Tianqing. Is he really a step late? So, next to the woman, can't tolerate any other men except the man who accompanies her and smiles with her at this moment?
Cang Tianqing was still immersed in his thoughts, but the voice of the bodyguard sounded beside him, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," Cang Tianqing came out of his thoughts, looked at his personal bodyguard, and then picked up the glass in front of the table and drank one after another.
Nothing, who believes it? Although Mu Weiying's heart is very strange, what's wrong with his master today? He looks depressed. If he puts it on weekdays, he will never appear on his master's face. Therefore, it is no wonder that Mu Weiying is suspicious in his heart. Moreover, at this moment, he looked at Cang Tianqing drinking wine one cup after another as if he didn't seem to care about anything, as if he wanted to use the wine to relieve his worries, which was even more strange.
When did he see such a sky engine? As early as when Cang Tianqing said that he was coming to attend the birthday of Liu, the empress dowager of Lingying, Mu Weiying felt very strange. However, after all, this is the master's own business, so although he has doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything. Today, Your Highness is still drinking so desperately, which is even more incredible. In a word, Mu Weiying felt that there must be something in the bottom of the prince's heart. It's just that if he doesn't say it, he doesn't know. How difficult is it to guess the bottom of his heart like a man like Cang Tianqing?
"Your Highness, don't drink any more," Mu Weiying said to Cang Tianqing, who was still bowing his head and didn't seem to stop. However, I don't know whether his voice is too low, or the banquet is too lively at this moment, or Cangtianqing doesn't have his words at all, but Cangtianqing continues to move without saying a word.
If he drank more, he would get drunk. Mu Weiying wanted to continue to add this sentence, but in the end, he swallowed this sentence back into his stomach. How can he listen to other people's advice when he wants to do what he wants to do? However, it is easy to get drunk when drinking like this. What's more, it's easier to get drunk when His Royal Highness is in a bad mood.
Nangong He, who sat up, glanced at the seat for a week, and finally settled on Shen Qingning's body for a while, and then moved away again. Today, many people came on Liu's birthday, and there were also times from other countries, and even the envoys of Cangyi came. This is something that Nan Gonghe didn't expect. After all, Lingying and Cangyi had a war not long ago! What's more, this time he is not an ordinary envoy, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Cangyi! This is even more difficult for Nangong He to understand.
Although at this moment, Cangyi and Lingying have been reconciled. However, as far as he knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Cangyi is indifferent and doesn't care about anything. How can he come to celebrate his mother's birthday this time? He then turned his eyes to the place where Cang Tianqing sat, but he saw that the man was delivering wine to his mouth one after another. What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince of Cangyi? Nangong was puzzled, but he did not delve into this problem.
"He'er," because the voice of the empress dowager Liu quickly sounded beside him, with a faint joy and softness. Obviously, Nangong He's attention, coupled with today's atmosphere, makes Liu very satisfied. If you are in a good mood, your voice will naturally be soft.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Nangong He turned his head and was a little confused.
"He'er, the mother wants to hear the sound of the Qingyin flute." On such a day, Liu suddenly wanted to hear the sound of the Qingyin flute. I remember that in the past, when the emperor was still there, she would always play for her birthday. And every time, whether the music she plays is really so good or not, he will praise it without hesitation. And this habit, today, she still hasn't changed it. That's why she made such a request today.
If the emperor is still there, what will happen tonight? It's just that this question is meaningless after all, isn't it? Because the former emperor finally left her! No matter how much she misses the old days, she still has to adapt to the life without him now.
"Queen Mother?" Hearing Liu's mention of the Qingyin flute, Nangong He was suddenly shocked for a moment. At that moment, he seemed to see a faint sadness from his mother's face. He knew that it was because of the emperor he had left. At the bottom of her mother's heart, she has never forgotten her father's moment. Even if today is such a happy day, she still brings back those sad memories! Time, the mother's love for the father has not decreased at all, but is getting stronger and stronger.
"He'er, is it okay?" In Liu's voice, there was a faint inquiry. I'm afraid that her request would embarrass He'er! However, at this moment, she really misses the sound of the green flute.
"Mother Queen," looking at Liu's eyes with some prayers, how could Nangong He have the heart to refuse? He knew that the Qingyin flute was the pain in the mother's heart. Even at this moment, the most precious flute of the mother who has contact with her father is still the pain in her heart! That kind of mother made Nangong He feel sad. It also made him suddenly find that he always seemed to ignore the sadness in his mother's heart. As a son, he admitted that he really didn't do well enough.
Nangong He nodded, and he also knew that the Qingyin flute had been given to the woman by his mother on that day. Therefore, if the mother wants to hear the sound of the Qingyin flute at this moment, let the woman play it. After all, with so many people present today, maybe only that woman can play the voice that her mother wants! Therefore, on that day, the Queen Mother still gave her the flute under such a reluctance!
"General Shen," when Nangong He's voice suddenly sounded, the ministers present were stunned, and then stopped their movements and waited for Nangong He's next words.
"I'm there," Shen Qingning quietly came out of the corner and whispered to Nangong He. It is still a white skirt, but at this moment, she has a quiet smile on her face, less usual indifference and more euphemism. Maybe it's because of the smile that her lips overflowed!
On the side, Cang Tianqing, who was still drinking, stopped unbelievably when he heard the sound that appeared in his dream almost every day, and looked confusedly at the figure not far away. It's really her! Just now, what he heard seemed to be 'General Shen'! Is it possible that this is the woman?
"General Shen, today the Empress Dowager wants to listen to General Shen play a song," Nangong He looked at the woman standing in the center with a faint smile between his eyebrows. This is her, the woman who has a deep imprint on his heart, Shen Qingning! Then, he added, "Just use that green flute!"
"I, follow the order," Shen Qingning nodded, and then took out the green flute that she usually carried with him. This flute is indeed a first-class product. That day, Mo told her that the meaning of this flute to the empress dowager today did she understand that this flute took such a heavy weight in the heart of the empress dowager! What's more, as long as a discerning person takes a look, he will know that this flute is precious.
The people stopped their movements, looked at the woman standing in the center, and gently closed their eyes. Then, Qingyue's voice came out from under the Qingyin flute. Such a peerless woman in white, standing in the middle of the field, such a picture always makes people feel pleasing to the eyes.
Mu Rongyan never knew that there was really a feeling in the world that could not be restrained. Even if he never thought that there would be such a moment in his heart, when he saw the side face of the woman in the center, he immediately made it clear that what should come could not be avoided after all. He is the prime minister of Baiyang, and he is the prime minister at a young age. Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, this is a little incredible! However, people just think that he has such a status through something, but they don't know what kind of peerless talent is hidden under that exquisite heart!
Mu Rongyan didn't know how to describe the first face of this woman. Those words were not enough for the woman standing in the middle of the field at this moment. At this moment, he found that he could not find a word to describe the woman in front of him, a woman like the sun, the moon and the stars. He knew that from this moment on, his heart could not calm down. Because it has changed since I saw this woman. Something is quietly changing.
Today, Mu Rongyan didn't want to come, but he couldn't refuse the pleas of the monarch of Baiyang, so he had to agree helplessly. There was helplessness in his heart, so he wanted to leave after the next banquet. But I never thought that there would be such an 'episode' in the middle, which would make him see such an unforgettable scene. Maybe this trip is not in vain! Thinking of this, his lips raised a faint smile, which surprised the close bodyguard beside him. Is this still his son?
Perhaps, this is destined to let him go, let him meet this woman, and let this woman stay in his heart.
Finally, at the end of the song, Shen Qingning gently opened her eyes and looked up.
Before Nangong He said anything, Liu Shi said, "General Shen plays very well." It's also a matter of her mind!
