Chapter 29? A little jealous
The hour of Hai will pass.
Wei Xingzhen finally knocked on the door of the house - but before the door opened, he realized something was wrong, because the person who came to open the door was not a servant of the Wei Mansion, but Feng Yan.
"You're back."
Wei Xingzhen frowned slightly, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
"Because..." Feng Yan was about to speak when she suddenly saw Ji Ran following Wei Xingzhen, "Why is Lord Ji coming again?"
Ji Ran smiled, "There are cases in the past few days. According to Your Majesty's order, I will walk with Lord Wei for a few days."
Feng Yan said softly, "Is it for the matter between the eldest princess and the Grand Marshal Xue?"
Ji Ran was slightly stunned, "How do you know, young master?"
Feng Yan smiled and took two steps back, "... Let's talk first."
The hall closest to the north gate was brightly lit, and Wei Xingzhen and Ji Ran saw that Feng Yan was wearing formal clothes tonight.
She still had a single snail bun like she was a girl, and a jade hairpin was inserted obliquely on it, looking dignified and generous.
There was Feng Yan's tea set in the hall. It seemed that before Wei Xingzhen came back, she had been sitting here alone to cook tea and wait.
"In the evening, the palace servants of Taichu Palace sent the news," Feng Yan sat back in her seat and said softly, "I think such a big thing happened. Your Majesty may summon me today, so I changed my clothes and waited here."
Ji Ran nodded, "Then you can rest first. We just came back from His Majesty. It's so late, His Majesty should have gone to bed too."
"It's hard to say, maybe you'll wake up in the middle of the night." Feng Yan said softly, "Wait a little longer."
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Sun Youwei was extremely impatient with the "waiting". He had never been waiting for her, but there was no reason for her to wait for others. In the past, if anyone was summoned but was late, he would inevitably suffer an extra furious anger.
Thinking of this, Ji Ran sighed for a moment. No wonder, over the years, Mr. Shimiao has been in the imperial court forever. It turned out that in order to meet His Majesty's summons at any time, she would have endured overnight.
The errand in front of the emperor...is indeed not easy to do.
Wei Xingzhen took off his outer robe and sat down beside Feng Yan.
"I'll wait with you for a while."
"...No need," Feng Yan lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Wei has worked hard for a day outside today, so he must be tired."
Wei Xingzhen lowered his head and added a few pieces of new charcoal to the tea stove beside him, and whispered, "Don't be tired."
Ji Ran moved his toes a little uncomfortable - the couple opposite him had a deep affection, so he sat here and watched, and always felt that he was not talking at this moment, nor was he not talking, and he was uncomfortable all over.
Where can I look at my eyes?
He looked at Feng Yan's tea-making hand opposite him, and a pair of thin silver bracelets on it touched each other from time to time, jingling.
Let's look at this.
"Where is Lord Ji?" Feng Yan looked over, "Don't you go to rest?"
Ji Ran quickly raised his eyes and replied, "No, I will be wherever Lord Wei is these days. There may be some disturbances. Please forgive me."
Feng Yan stopped the tea spoon in her hand, and a little surprise appeared in her eyes, "What's the bad thing he did?"
Wei Xingzhen heard something wrong, "...I don't."
"Why should Lord Ji stare at you?"
Ji Ran listened to the whispers of the two people on the other side, and his face became a little restless. He pretended to be bitten by a mosquito and scratched his neck, and then seriously told Feng Yan about what happened in front of the palace today.
"So that's it," Feng Yan smiled, "Then, will Lord Wei not have to go to the official office these days?"
"I still have to go," Wei Xingzhen replied, "but before His Majesty's "Beast of Guards" begins, there should be no more important official duties than this."
Feng Yan smiled, "Then please ask Lord Wei to rest in the guest room these days. Don't come to Xiaolou after nightfall."
"Natural..." Wei Xingzhen quickly replied, "After all, it is A Yan's daily life place, and no strangers can be allowed to get close to-"
At this moment, Ji Ran stood up and said, "Two guys chat, I'll go outside to have a breath."
Outside the hall, there is a camphor tree that is the same height as the house. Ji Ran climbed up to the main branch in a few seconds, found a comfortable position to sit and lean on it. Following the window, you could see Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen, but the sound of their speech had long been covered by the sound of wind and insects.
Finally purified...
Ji Ran held his arms with both hands and continued to follow Wei Xingzhen's every move with a serious look.
Is this the newlyweds?
...
"I'm quite curious, how did Lord Wei make up his lie?"
In the hall, Feng Yan still had a peaceful expression like she had just now.
"The fact that you borrow a mansion from Duke Zhenguo in advance cannot be avoided by any means... How do you explain that you know in advance that there are monsters that will attack Mingtang?"
"It's nothing. Di Yang has been leaving Luoyang for more than half a month. I was originally dealing with the Duke's Mansion. I met a demon on the road, so I took you to the Duke's Mansion for a while..." Wei Xingzhen raised his glass to drink tea, "very reasonable."
Feng Yan understood - no wonder that during the two days in the Duke's Mansion, this famous Duke Di Yang never showed up.
"Where did the Duke of Zhenguo go?"
"One of his old friends was going to Luoyang from Shu. He received news on the night of half a month ago and set off to greet him at dawn... In short, he should be back in the past two days."
"Friends from Shu?" Feng Yan felt familiar for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that this morning by the Peach Blossom Forest, Yin Shiyun seemed to have said that a friend from Shu was coming.
Hearing the same "friend" from two different people within one day, Feng Yan couldn't help but be careful.
"...Who is this 'friend'? Lord Wei knows?"
Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, "A Yan rarely asks about these things, why are you curious about this today?"
"Oh, I also heard from Lord Yin this morning that someone came from Shu." Feng Yan replied frankly.
Wei Xingzhen choked.
He was silent for a moment, his tone was a little subtle, "...Yin Shiyun has come?"
"No," Feng Yan shook her head, "It was Wulang who invited me to go to Taolin to meet Lord Yin."
It became quiet all over.
Feng Yan quietly observed Wei Xingzhen's reaction.
When Feng Yan talked to him by Luoshui last night, he felt some subtle emotions from Wei Xingzhen - not anger, not shame, but some kind of jealousy with restraint.
This really made Feng Yan a little confused. She was sure that people like Wei Xingzhen must have come to her with some purpose. Since he asked him bluntly, he would use some slanderous words to make excuses. It would be better to go with the flow and see what he wanted to do.
But jealous...
Isn't this a bit too real?
Seeing Wei Xingzhen sitting there quietly without saying a word, Feng Yan picked up the fair cup and poured another cup of tea for herself.
"...He is still worried about what happened last night?" Wei Xingzhen asked.
"Not that, we talked about some of the past things that Lord Wei was not interested in."
Wei Xingzhen looked at the cup in his hand and made no sound for a moment.
"... Today, in front of Wulang, I explained all the things clearly to Lord Yin." Feng Yan said softly, "At the end of the day, Lord Yin told me that he might have found the music score of "Hundred and Six Yang Jiu" because he has a friend from Shu who came from tomorrow-"
Hearing the words "I made it clear", Wei Xingzhen's expression calmed down a little, "A Yan doesn't need to tell me so much..."
"Didn't Lord Wei ask on his own initiative?" Feng Yan said softly.
Wei Xingzhen frowned slightly.
It would be better to say that he wants to hear these things, but he doesn't want to hear them.
But rounded around, and I still didn't want to listen.
Feng Yan shook the tea in the cup, "So who is this person from Shu? Does Lord Wei know or don't know?"
Wei Xingzhen sighed silently.
