Chapter 39 Change the heart of wine

After listening to Zhuo Ruitong's words, Ning Tanger's already uneasy heart went up and down. For a long time, she has been hiding herself very well and has been leaking everywhere. However, Zhuo Ruitong's words are clear, and Ning Tanger can't help worrying about whether Zhuo Ruitong has found something.

After an inner struggle, Ning Tanger was puzzled and couldn't help but continue to struggle with herself. She thought: If he really found something, why didn't he expose it face to face, but it was euphemism? Moreover, there seemed to be more of persuasion... Thinking of this, Ning Tanger had no idea at all, and her thoughts were entangled in a mess.

Although she is struggling in her heart, Ning Tanger is worthy of being a professional meticulous work. She is still easy to deal with the three parties and never forget her task and mission. Therefore, she still pretends to be calm in front of Zhuo Ruitong. Therefore, she raised her head and said to Zhuo Ruitong, "There seems to be a deep meaning in the prince's words just now. The concubine is stupid and doesn't understand the meaning of the words. I hope the prince can make it clear!"

Seeing that Ning Tanger continued to pretend to be stupid, Zhuo Ruitong was disappointed, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and picked up the wine glass on the table, drank all the wine in it, and then looked up at Ning Tanger sitting opposite. At this time, Ning Tanger was raising her head and revealing her snow-white neck, which looked like a beautiful swan. She pretended to be confused and waited for Zhuo Ruitong's answer. Even if she was very dissatisfied with her performance, Zhuo Ruitong was still willing to appreciate the beauty she pretended.

Ning Tanger, who was already panicked, saw that Zhuo Ruitong didn't say anything, but just stared at herself and didn't feel numb. In order to hide her inner uneasiness, she had to continue, "Why didn't you answer?"

After her question again, Zhuo Ruitong came to his senses, smiled at her, and raised the glass to signal Ning Tanger to pick up the wine. Ning Tanger paused, picked up the wine glass on the table, and then gently came over and touched Zhuo Ruitong's wine glass, and then drank it by herself.

After clinking glasses several times, although both of them had no words, they also drank happily.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Ruitong put down the exquisite jade wine glass in his hand, got up and walked a few steps. Then he stopped to look at the deep night sky and said to himself, "In this life, the most innocent moment is childhood. At that time, we had no worries, no responsibility, and our whole heart was filled with simplicity. There is no heart to guard against others and no heart to harm others. Live simply and happily, but when people grow up, they will have all kinds of desires. In order to achieve a certain purpose, they will not hesitate to become ferocious, sinister and cunning... You said, if you can choose, are you willing to live simply or to achieve interests? Where is the hard-working life?

There was silence everywhere, and the silence around made Zhuo Ruitong's words sound extremely sad. He expressed the sadness of human nature and the difficulty of survival. Ning Tanger couldn't help but feel sad. Recalling her childhood, why was she not simple and simple at that time? Those happy days on horseback were her most unforgettable childhood. Taking a look at Zhuo Ruitong, Ning Tanger also said, "Who said no? There is no normal person who does not yearn for a stable and quiet life. It's just that in this era of war and strife, not everyone can retreat without being polluted by this secular world. Everyone has their own destiny, their own responsibilities and missions, and then complete them at all costs... Your Majesty, what are you? Don't you want to taste it?"

"You're right. The world is unpredictable. When I was born in the emperor's family, I had to follow God's arrangement to complete my mission. Speaking of me, isn't it too, Aiji?" Zhuo Ruitong responded.

Ning Tanger smiled bitterly and then said, "Since we know that everything is arranged by God, what else can we do but obey God's fate?"

In this way, the two of them drank wine and chatted until late at night. Suddenly, I also found that since they met today, it was the first time that the two of them spoke to each other so unscrupulously. Whether it was commenting on the current situation or feeling about life, it was the first time for both of them. I have to admit that this long conversation all night did invisibly narrowed the distance between them. At least tonight, both of them are willing to take off their guard and tell each other their own heart and their childhood past.

Zhuo Ruitong didn't understand that he was so honest with Ning Tanger tonight, and even chatted with her like a good friend. Ning Tanger couldn't help but be deeply touched. Thinking about what Zhuo Ruitong said, she was actually impressed by his tolerance and open-mindedness. Thinking of what she had done over the years, she did not feel a trace of regret.

In those years, because of the war, her mother and her family were separated, and finally she was left alone and exiled to Beirong. Because she was from the Central Plains and a woman, her mother suffered all kinds of hardships in Beirong, but because of the strength and stubbornness in her bones, her mother raised her with painstaking efforts. Probably because her mother's forbearance invisibly affects Ning Tanger. In addition to being obedient and obedient, she has also tried her best to do her best. Whether it is the female redness taught by her mother or the riding skills that must be practiced on the grassland, she tries to do the best.

The mother and daughter depended on each other in Beirong for 14 years, but when she was 14 years old, her mother was infected with a stubborn disease and died of years of hard work. From then on, Ning Tanger was left alone. In order to survive, she had to take over her mother's life and sew clothes for others in exchange for food.

Fourteen-year-old Ning Tanger is already outstanding. She is beautiful, energetic and good at singing and dancing. By chance, when she danced in the wind by the river, her beauty was seen by the King of Northern Rong, who rode by there. So, the King of Beirong took her away. At first, she was just asked to perform for them as an ordinary dancer, but because of her outstanding dance skills, she gradually became a strange flower on the land of Beirong. But later, as she became more and more amazing, and her dancing skills became more and more proficient, especially because she was a special factor for the descendants of the Central Plains, the King of Beirong specially picked her out of the dancers, and then carefully cultivated her step by step, and finally sent her to the Central Plains.

Later, she was given to Li Jin, who was always regarded as a tool by Li Jin in Li Jin's mansion and as a tool for him to please the princes and ministers in the court. Li Jin often held banquets, then invited the princes and ministers, and then sent her to sing and dance for banquets. She dealt with the same situation every day. Sometimes the guests were drunk and tampered with her, but she could not resist because of Li Jin. Later, she was transferred to Wei Wang Zhuo Ruitong.

For a long time, she has always been sent as a gift. However, no matter where you go, you will always suffer all kinds of grievances. Although she was painful, she was helpless until she finally got used to it.

Compared with other places, she really lived a normal life when she came to Wei County. Although Wei County is a bitter cold and desolate environment and has been attacked by sand all year round, no one has ever forced her to do anything in the Wei Palace. Every time she dances for Zhuo Ruitong, she takes the initiative to find out the news, while Zhuo Ruitong appreciates her dance skills only by appreciating them and has never taken too far.

Because she was sent by Li Jin, Zhuo Ruitong has always been grudgery about her and has been neglected, but she is also good at treating each other and has never deliberately bullied.

I clearly remember once that she was still in Lijin Mansion. At the time of a banquet, the banquet was not over, but it rained. There was a cover at the top of the table, but the stage where she danced was in the open air. The rain was getting stronger and stronger, and her dance steps were naturally affected. She originally thought that Li Jin would let her stop and rest, but Li Jin asked her to continue. In order to please a minister, she even said that dancing in the rain would be more amorous. As a result, she was caught in the wind and cold because of the rain, and she couldn't recover after lying in ** for several days. But later, she got used to not being loved... Unexpectedly, when she came to Weijun, the same thing happened, but there was a different ending. That time, she took the initiative to ask for a dance. Halfway through the dance, it began to rain. Because she has been used to it many times before, and because of Zhuo Ruitong's usual cold attitude towards her, she thought that Zhuo Ruitong would not come out to stop her, and would also let her continue to dance, at least ask her to finish this dance. However, she was wrong. Zhuo Ruitong not only came forward to stop her from resting, but also sent someone to send her a cloak for fear that she would catch a cold. Moreover, after that, someone was sent to visit Shentang.

Thinking of the care she felt in Weijun, and thinking about the treatment she received elsewhere, Ning Tanger's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. Suddenly, she felt that her previous life was so unbearable to look back. To the depths of the injury, she couldn't help but shed tears. Since her mother's death, she has never cried again. Every time she is wronged, she endures and swallows tears into her stomach... However, this time, under Zhuo Ruitong's sincere treatment, she actually shed tears.

Warm tears slipped from her cheeks and fell on her clenched hands because of her wounds. She was slightly stunned, as if the warmth reached the depths of her soul, touching every nerve of her, making her immersed in it and unable to extricate herself. Looking at the dark night around her, she felt that Zhuo Ruitong in front of her was like a bright light, illuminating her soul and making her begin to think about whether she could also have a different future and live the kind of life she wanted. After thinking about it, a sense of repentance surged into her heart again.

Looking at Ning Tang'er with wet eyes, Zhuo Ruitong suddenly felt pity. He thought that Ning Tanger was looked down on because of her beauty, but she was also harmed by her beauty. She didn't feel a trace of melancholy in her heart. I can't help but feel it secretly: God always likes to play tricks on people like this, giving people beauty but making people hurt by beauty, just like he and Zhuo Yuancan are obviously good brothers, but they have to fight for power. In fact, today's turmoil makes him want to save the world immediately, but from his own, he is unwilling to be against Zhuo Yuancan. Besides, Huanying is obviously the person he loves most, but he has to hate him so much because of his family... What is it that God is not teasing people?

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, tonight is destined to be sad, and tonight is destined to be sad.

The deep torture in her heart made Ning Tanger's mind constantly play back all kinds of pictures over the years. The wall that had been erected over the years collapsed in an instant, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. Fortunately, Zhuo Ruitong was turning his back to her at this time, so that he would not let him see such a fragile side. Therefore, before Zhuo Ruitong turned around, she quietly wiped off her tears with a silk handkerchief and pretended to be as if nothing had happened.

The sky gradually dawned, and the two quickly put away their previous agorment and tried to return to their usual appearance, as if everything last night would stop at dawn.

Zhuo Ruitong slightly tidied up his clothes and said to Ning Tanger, "Well, I won't mention the previous things anymore. You pack up and go back to the leisure pavilion!" After saying that, without waiting for Ning Tanger to reply, he left the Buddhist hall.

"Go, my lord!" Ning Tanger whispered to Zhuo Ruitong's back.

Entering into the Buddhist hall, Wei Er hurriedly greeted her. Seeing Ning Tang'er's red eyes, she said urgently, "Madam, why are your eyes red? Is the prince still unwilling to let us out of the Buddhist hall?

Ning Tanger asked, as if she hadn't heard it. She was still immersed in the atmosphere last night and didn't recover. After a few steps forward, she held the table with her hand and sat down slowly.

Seeing that Ning Tanger didn't speak for a long time, she seemed to be stimulated by something. Wei'er had been with her for so long and had never seen her so distracted, so she was anxious.

After sitting for a long time, Ning Tang'er came to her senses and put away her depression, and reappeared her usual domineering look. She said to Wei'er, who was in a hurry and walked around the house, "Weier, pack up your things quickly. Let's go back to the leisure pavilion!"

After hearing this, she was confused and said to Ning Tanger with a puzzled face, "Madam, do you mean that the prince allows us to go out?"

Looking at the stupid fear, Ning Tanger said to her, "Pack up quickly. We'll leave right away!"

After packing up their things, the two walked out of the Buddhist hall and glanced around. They found that the guards around the Buddhist hall were really missing. Only then did they believe that it was Zhuo Ruitong who ordered them to go back.

In addition to happiness, fear suddenly became suspicious: Since the prince has ordered us to let us go back, why did the expression when the lady just came in? Did the prince say something to his wife last night? With full of doubts, he was afraid but did not dare to ask Ming Ning Tanger, so he had to follow Ning Tanger and go to the leisure pavilion. Although she was distressed, on the way back to the leisure pavilion, Wei Er always smiled and thought that she had finally left the widowed Buddhist hall. It's just that she was only excited and didn't notice Ning Tanger's complex and solemn expression in front of her.

As soon as she returned to the leisure pavilion, a subordinate came to report that the Empress Dowager Wei asked what happened to Ning Tanger about her last night. It turned out that when the guard went to pass last night, the Empress Dowager Wei had already rested. The close-fitting M Mother didn't dare to wake up because she was afraid of disturbing her, so she only told the Empress Dowager Wei this morning. Since the Empress Dowager Wei has always liked Ning Tanger, she sent someone to ask Ning Tanger what she wanted to see.

Thinking that he originally wanted to find the Empress Dowager Wei to relieve the siege, but now Zhuo Ruitong has released them and told them about it. I'm afraid that Zhuo Ruitong will think she deliberately caused trouble. Therefore, Ning Tanger had to say a few perfunctory words, saying that the Empress Dowager just wanted to care about the Empress Dowager's health and so on. There was no other reason. Then she quickly pretended to be concerned and asked, "I don't know how the Empress Dowager is in good health recently?"

The visitor replied, "Madam, the empress dowager's body is fine recently!"

Ning Tanger listened and immediately said, "That's good! Well, there's nothing else to do. Go back to the empress dowager and recover!" Knowing that it was useless to say more, she wanted to get rid of it in the future as soon as possible.

Huanling also knew the news that Ning Tanger was released back in the Liu Goblet Palace, and he also agreed with Zhuo Ruitong's behavior. It's just that Xiaoci still complained, "This Ning Ji should lock her in the Buddhist hall and not come out for the rest of her life!"

Hearing Xiaoci complain, Huanying had to shake his head helplessly and said to Xiaoci with a smile, "Xiaoci, it's the best way to let her out!"

Xiaoci said puzzledly, "Why? If you let her out, she will try her best to deal with your wife. She must have known that it was her wife who intended to frame her for the poisoning this time. With her style, she will definitely retaliate against her!" After saying that, Xiaoci couldn't help frowning to express her concern.

Huanying then said, "You should know that only when she comes out will there be further action, so that we can grasp the specific trends of Bei Rong, Li Jin or Lou Xun and others, and then come up with coping strategies!"

"That's true, but, I'm just worried that she will be unfavorable to you!" Small porcelain road.

Taking a breath, Huanying said to Xiaoci, "In my estimation, I don't think so. At least she will be dormant for the time being. I believe she has learned a lesson from this incident, and she will definitely not do anything to me in the short term. I think if she is not sure of ten times, she won't easily come to provoke us again!"

Xiaoci nodded after listening and felt that what Huanxuan said was reasonable.

Huanying continued: "It's better for General Manager Nie not to take action before she buys back the horses from Yuzi Country. Otherwise, I will be too busy to get rid of it. It will be bad if I can't free my hands to deal with her!"

"So, Xiaoci said that she should not be released so early!" Xiaoci continued to complain.

Huanying shook his head and said, "It's the best time to let her out now. I heard that she has planned to move out the empress dowager. If the empress dowager really intervenes in this matter, it will be difficult for us to do it. Because we can't tell the truth, the empress dowager will think that I deliberately exclude Ning Ji, so she encouraged the king to ban her. In that case, it is too After that, she will definitely order her to be released, and you know that the prince will not go against the meaning of the Empress Dowager. At that time, she will really fight against us when she comes out again!"

Xiaoci suddenly realized that while secretly admiring the lingering thoughts and meticulous thoughts, she also said that she should be vigilant and beware of Ning Tanger.

"So how should we face Ning Ji in the future?" Xiaoci continued to ask questions.

After a little consideration, Huanying said, "This is not difficult, but this time it's not that we take the initiative to attack, but to see what her attitude she has towards us. After she makes a statement, we can adapt to it. If she breaks her face, we don't have to be afraid of her. If she wants to pretend to be stupid and pretend that nothing has happened, we will cooperate!"
