Chapter 44 Great Luck? Great misfortune?

In mid-October, Shangji City was cold at night, urging people to stamp their feet and rub their hands. Under the moonlight, the two slender figures walked together. The figure was stylish. The night sky between the mountains was extremely clear, and the full moon was straight. The white moonlight was cold and clear, pouring on the two people, as if to outline a dazzling silver edge.

The girl's sas ponytail was stained with the moonlight, and her white and delicate face seemed to be transparent in the moonlight, as if she could see the blood flowing under her skin. She felt a little cold. She unconsciously leaned against the boy beside her, raised her cheeks, and secretly looked at his reaction. Unexpectedly, she couldn't move her eyes.

Ning Zheng only felt that Xingchen was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her life, and she couldn't see enough.

The boy sensed her raging and bold eyes, lowered his head and glanced at her and smiled embarrassedly, "What's wrong? Do I have a mole on my face?" With that, he stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the tip of his nose to hide his unnatural expression.

He doesn't know why he suddenly became much more dull beside Ning Zheng.

"It's just a flower, or a big peony flower!" The girl said with a joking smile, gently shook her hair, and the good fragrance on the ponytail suddenly rushed into the boy's nostrils.

Xingchen suddenly took a breath and held his breath. The cold autumn night sucked into his nostrils like a knife. The unique fragrance of Ning Zheng made him inhale greedily. "It smells good," he muttered.

Ning Zheng smiled faintly and ignored the boy's stupid words.

They walked side by side on the streets of Shangji City and looked at the slender and straight shadows under their feet. The two seemed to be connected and closely intertwined.

In fact, this feeling is also good. Since the two experienced the disaster and lived together, the friendship between them or the growing love between them has been more deeply remembered. Nearly half a month later, Ning Zheng still clearly remembers that night when the stars waved their knives and protected themselves behind them. At that moment, the stars' thin and magnificent bodies were like mountains coiled on the earth. On the bumpy horse, his arms wrapped around her, still struggling to protect her.

That's enough! See the truth when you share difficulties! The stars are trustworthy!

"Star, aren't you afraid of walking alone on the street after you sent me back to the inn? Shangji City used to be a ghost capital of more than 100,000 people who died. Look, this month is high and cloudy. It is the time when evil ghosts like to come out most. Be careful not to hit ghosts on the road!" Ning was tilting his head, spitting out his tongue, turning his eyes and making a grimace, deliberately hissing sound in his throat.

Xingchen smiled gently and shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in the world. They are all fake! You can't scare me!"

Ning Zheng's expression was suddenly disappointed, "Are you really not afraid? So boring! Can't you pretend to be scared?"

The boy just laughed.

Ning noticed that Xingchen's left hand was on the divine knife at his waist and never left. When she said those words about ghosts, the joints on Xingchen's fingers turned white.

Obviously, he was afraid to walk at night, but he had to say that he was not afraid. Ning Zheng thought he was so cute, but he couldn't laugh. Then he felt a little distressed.

"Ning Zheng, how long will you stay in Shangji City?" Xingchen suddenly asked abruptly.

"I don't know. It should be the end of the year!"

"At the end of the year? Does that mean there are still more than two months?

"Hmm!"

The boy's coral-red eyes are obscure, as if he is carefully calculating how to live a well for more than two months - as if he only has two months left. He didn't realize that he was vaguely attached to Ning Zheng and didn't realize how slow he was on the way, so that the time with Ning would not end so quickly.

Ning Zheng seemed to be aware of his mind and touched his hand gently. His clear eyes smiled, "Why don't you follow me when I go back!" You have been with me in Shangji City for so long. How about I take you to the imperial capital?

Imperial capital? The stars were silent. Grandpa, the city owner, said, don't go to the imperial capital before the wings are full! The imperial capital Xiangquan City, the center of the Fanyang official court temple, seems to be noble and magnificent. How many of them are there to trick you to fight for me? At the feet of the emperor, you have to look up at people's faces. As soon as you go there, you will be tripped more or less. You are not afraid of touching your head and bleeding, but you are afraid of becoming smooth and cunning, and losing the sharpness that young people should have. Moreover, the city owner's grandfather is determined to help him achieve a big event. The imperial capital Xiangquan City, the place where the emperor of Fanyang is located, and the highest point of the whole Fanyang's power. In the future, will he be drowned in the bottomless official temples, or will he fly to the sky with ease among the powerful and create a new world with python dragons? He has nothing in his heart.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Xingchen wanted to take this smile for himself! However, Ning Zheng can be involved with the second prince of Fanyang and Li Qingyu, who is in charge of the Cang navy with 150,000 soldiers and horses in the three counties in the southwest. How big family background should he have? He looked at this touching smiling face, just like looking up at the starry sky in the vast wilderness, vast, and he was as small as sand.

Do you want to become an emperor? Only when you become an emperor can you give Ning Zheng the freedom you want. Only by becoming an emperor can you make Ning Zheng not have to marry someone she doesn't like. Only then can you really be qualified to say the feelings in your heart. Only then will you feel ashamed to make him feel inferior after speaking out loud about this feeling.

"Xingchen, don't think too much, okay... Don't worry about the future. We'll live a good life now. We can't guess what will happen in the future. Since we can't guess, we don't want to worry about it. Don't worry about yourself... At least I know that the days with you are very comfortable..." The girl said softly, voice It is so soft that it has a moist feeling that only women in the south of the Yangtze River have.

"Hmm." He nodded.

Ning Zheng sighed slightly - he really looked like a disheartening child!

Even if the two of them try their best to slow down, the road under their feet will not be long, but it will still be shorter and shorter. Shangji City is crisscrossed, straight and unimped, step by step, getting closer and closer to the inn where Ning Zheng stayed. The soft and warm fire shone at the door of the inn. Ning was taking two steps forward, standing on the stone steps in front of the inn, turning and smiling at the teenager standing there staring at her affectionately: "Don't say goodbye!"

Her face was gentle and quiet, and the golden firelight fell on her face, noble as a god.

"In my eyes, goodbye means never see you again." Ning was standing quietly on the stone steps and condescendingly.

Xingchen silently wrote down this sentence. See you again? If you don't say goodbye easily, is it a farewell?

He looked up at Ning Zheng standing in the light, with imperceptible sadness in his eyes, and his handsome face smiled unnaturally. "See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." The girl blinked with a smile, quickly turned around and walked into the inn, resolutely.

Xingchen silently watched her slender back disappear, stood expressionless for a long time, and her heart was full of mixed feelings - I hoped that Ning could say more words to him before parting, smile more at him, and look at him more. But she just said 'no goodbye' and didn't say much, leaving a hollow loss in his heart.

"Pretentious." He squeezed out the two words softly, shook his head and laughed at himself, and turned away.

After entering the inn, Ning Zheng ran upstairs along the wooden ladder and stepped on the wooden board, rushing into his room like a strong deer. The window of her room is adjacent to the street, and you can see the outside scene. She just wants to take a good look at the stars and the thin back. Opening the window, I happened to see the teenager slowly leaving with his head down, with his long black hair blown up by the evening wind, like a wandering wild ghost. She pouted and held her face in her hands, as she saw the teenager drift away and blend into the night.

"Fool!" Her pink lips muttered, as if talking about herself and the lonely teenager.

"Your Highness..." A sharp and feminine voice sounded, and Ning was suddenly turning around. She just entered the room in such a hurry that she didn't even find that there was another person in the room.

It was a figure with a big black command, lifted the hood above the head, the eyebrows were snow-white, and the face was clean and unnecessary. The man untied the big belt around his neck and retreated from his big black command, revealing a big red python robe. He always lowered his head, shook his sleeves respectfully, and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "Old Slave, I wish you to the princess!" It is the unique shrill voice of the eum of the palace, but with an inviolable noble sense of mission.

This former eunuch, the former chief of the imperial family, is the head of 5,000 eunuchs in the imperial palace. The emperor is in charge of Guo Amon, who is more pious and respectful in the face of the little master than when he met the emperor.

Ning Zheng's astonishment turned into a surprise in an instant and screamed, "Grandpa Guo, why are you here? Get up and sit down!"

"As long as the old slave stands, Your Highness, you don't have to be too careful!" Guo Ameng's face is delicate and pale. Although he is over 60 years old, he can't see the traces of many years. Only his white hair makes people sigh. He stood up respectfully and tied his hand hidden in the wide sleeves of the big red python robe. He looked at the little master silently and said sadly, "Your Highness has lost weight. Have you suffered a lot these days? If you are wronged, please let the old slave take this breath for you!"

Ning Zheng was silent and changed five horses all the way for the dust servant for nearly ten days before finding her old eunuch poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. The old eunuch knelt down and raised his hands above his head. He was flattered and frightened. His dry lips trembling and said, "I dare not bother Your Highness. It is the old slave's negligence that made you suffer so wronged. I really have no face to be punished by the tea brought by Your Highness himself. Please be punished!"

Ning Zheng sighed slightly. It seemed that his move of leaving the palace was really anxious to destroy the world-famous general manager. She pretended to be angry and said coldly, "Do you dare not take the tea I gave you? Drink it all for me!"

The eunuch trembled and took the teacup, and his dry lips trembled for several days in a row. With that cup of tea, he forgot that as a eunuch, he had to cover his face and sip like a woman. He raised his glass and drank it all, as if he had poured a glass of liquor.

"Thank you for the tea!" The old eunuch put his knees on the ground, knelt down and moved forward two steps, put the teacup back on the table, and then slowly got up.

From a little eunuch who became a giant eunuch of the palace step by step, Guo Ameng did not know how many people knelt down and how many times he had practiced himself, from his reluctance at the beginning to the fact that he did not kneel down now. But he knelt down and the little master never had so many complicated thoughts, even more comfortable than kneeling the emperor, just because the little master gave him care and respect that others could not give him!

It is common for eunuchs to be despised and abused. Over time, they have forgotten what dignity is. Suddenly, when I was respected again, I paid special attention to it. I was also willing to be a slave and loyal to those who respected me.

And Huangfuning is the person who gave him dignity and respect. I vaguely remember that the girl's first word was called 'grandpa', which was to call him by holding his hair and calling grandpa! Ha ha, the eunuch didn't even get an egg, and he was still called grandpa? What's more, the one who called his grandfather was the noble princess of Fanyang. Wenwu in the Man Dynasty laughed at his shame and didn't know the depth.

Only the emperor of the dynasty did not think it was a joke, so no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to laugh at him, and Huangfu Ning's grandfather has been called for 18 years and has not changed so far.

When people respect me a foot, I respect others a foot; when people give me a drop of water, I will return it. This is Guo Ameng's law of dealing with things. It is very simple and not complicated at all. It is not involved in the sinister and cunning of fighting against me in the forbidden courtyard of the deep palace. Even in his heart, if he chooses between the princess and the emperor, he is determined to stand on the princess's side for no other reason.

It's just that no one will say these words, and it's a dead word.

"Grandpa Guo, are you here to take me back?" The girl said affectionately and lonely, with her eyes sad,

The old eunuch bowed his waist and stared at the little master's face. He was heartbroken. He swallowed the words that had been saved in his mouth and changed his words, "Your Highness, don't worry, the old slave will only stay with you to take care of you, and never let your Highness worry about it. You can do whatever you want, and the old slave will support it. On your Majesty's side, the old slave will speak for you!"

Ning Zheng suddenly laughed loudly and hugged the old eunuch's neck tightly, and his face was no longer hazy. "I knew Grandpa Guo was the best!"

In those years, the little Ning Zheng's favorite thing was to put his arms around his neck and let him turn around. She said that it felt like flying, as if he could fly out of the palace and see the scenery outside the palace as soon as he let go. And he will dare to joke that His Highness must not let go. In case he let go and fly to the sky and become a fairy, the old slave will be killed by His Majesty!

In a blink of an eye, Ning is a beautiful girl. She is slender and elegant, thin and tall, and can no longer hang around his neck and be turned by him. The old eunuch is like a different world for a while.

Once again, he asked with a smile, "The old slave dared to ask, but your Highness has a man you like?"

Ning Zheng smiled and blinked the elf's strange eyes, "I won't tell you!"

The old eunuch smiled, as if the kind grandfather was looking at his granddaughter. Since His Highness didn't want to say it, he didn't ask, but he didn't know how many boys he had just sent back. Can they be compared with the most romantic boys in the Fanyang Empire? You should know that Ning Zheng will be married to Li Qingyu, who will be in charge of the 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Southwest Cang Navy in the future. Can the young man compare with him?

Young people think that as long as they love each other, they can help each other, but they don't know that marriage is never as simple as two people's lives, especially in powerful families. Marriage is more beneficial than emotional. How many families have different dreams of men and women in the same bed? How many powerful children regret their lives in marriage? It looks like a brilliant glazed gold top, but in fact, it is as crisp and thin as glutinous rice paper, which can't withstand any wind and rain! The old eunuch has lived in the imperial palace for 50 years, and has been affectionate between men and women between the powerful and nobles of Fanyang. It's a pity to see a lot of marriage!

Luckin? Great misfortune? Who will laugh when all the dust settles and floats white? Who is crying?
