withered prosperity

After hearing these words, Bai Chunchun was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the meaning of Yunji's words.

Countless disciples of famous families considered it an extremely honorable thing to be able to enter the Chaomu Pavilion and become a disciple of the Shang Pavilion.Even if you are far away in Shangjing, as long as you say "I am a disciple of Chaomu Pavilion", it is extremely enviable.

Although there are currently no school-age children in the direct line of the Bai family, there are a few smart children among the offshoots. Before he came to Chaomu Pavilion, Bai Linyun specifically asked him to investigate carefully.

As soon as Yun Ji said this, he completely cut off the Bai family's idea of ​​entering Chaomu Pavilion.

Thinking of how angry Bai Linyun would be when he found out about this after returning home, Bai Chunchun's feet went limp again.

"Pavilion Master, why is this necessary!" Yin Yutang stood up: "Even if the Pavilion Master feels that Bai Chunchun's behavior is inappropriate, there is no need to transfer his anger to the entire Bai family."

"My lord's words are wrong." Yun Ji refused to go down the steps at all: "When I choose my disciples in Chaomu Pavilion, the first thing is character and temperament, and according to today's opinion, if the behavior of the Bai family's children is like this young master Bai, I will Chaomu Pavilion is also unattainable."

"The pavilion..."

"Yun Ji, what do you mean by that!" Thinking of how terrible Bai Linyun's anger was, Bai Chunchun became anxious: "Do you really think that if you occupy a mountain top, you can dominate here? Let me tell you, we The Bai family is a relative of the emperor, I just need to tell my sister..."

"Brother, you're crazy!" Bai Lele rushed over and grabbed him, covering his mouth desperately. "Quickly apologize to Pavilion Master Yun!"

"What apologies? Did I say something wrong? He's just a shady..."

"Enough! What kind of crazy drug have you taken, dare to talk nonsense here!" Yin Yutang was furious: "Come here! Drag Bai Chunchun down!"

As soon as Yin Yutang finished speaking, the guards behind him rushed out like tigers and wolves, one of them knocked Bai Chunchun out with a palm, and the other two grabbed his arms one by one and dragged him out of the door.

"My lord! Pavilion master!" Bai Lele knelt down with a plop, "My brother injured his head yesterday, so he acted in such a way today. Please be magnanimous, my lord and the pavilion master, and don't blame my brother."

"Just as the pavilion master said, you can go down the mountain tomorrow!" Yin Yutang said with an unhappy face, "I have a severe headache, so I will take my leave first."

He was the first to leave.

Chi Lian stood up and confessed to Yun Ji, Jing Yi came over to help Jing Chan and retreated.

Murong Yu glanced left and right, and followed behind them.

Bai Lele didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a desperate manner.

Yun Ji sat back in his seat, didn't say anything, just finished the meal in one bite.

He seemed to be in a bad mood because of this farce, the entire banquet hall was silent, and the rest of the people endured the meal as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

So far, the banquet after the Qingming Festival almost broke up unhappy.

Jingchan and Jingyi followed Chilian back to Tianfeng Tower.

After closing the door, Chilian sat in front of the dressing table, and Jingchan and Jingyi knelt in front of her.

Chi Lian looked at the two of them quietly, without saying a word.

Finally, Jingyi couldn't take it anymore, and called out "Miss" tremblingly.

Chi Lian first laughed, and then tears flowed out.

"Miss!" Both Jingchan and Jingyi panicked.

Chi Lian had a stubborn temperament since childhood, and was angry and annoyed when he was wronged, but he seldom shed tears.

"Miss, it's all my fault!" Jingchan knelt in front of her and kowtowed to her. "I have wronged you, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

"It's not you, there are always other people, other things." Chi Lian raised his hand to wipe away tears, and raised his head: "They just bullied me and killed my parents... These people! These people..."

"Miss, don't be sad, didn't the pavilion master help us vent our anger?"

"What do you know! If there is no support, his Bai family really has the guts to touch me?" She angrily refuted Jingyi: "Uncle heard the news from Shangjing that my emperor uncle intends to let him go on an expedition to the frontier this time. Among them, it must be Bai Pianpian's hands and feet, and it has not been a day or two since the Bai family wanted to replace Xie's family."

"But, Concubine Mu..."

"What kind of a good person is Mu Huaiji?" Chi Lian snorted coldly: "Uncle asked me to be patient, so I had to swallow my anger. One day I will let these people know..."

"Miss, Princess Murong is here." Someone outside the door suddenly sent a message.

"I don't know if this Murong Yu is really stupid or pretending to be crazy...Jingchan, that Yan Hai is a disaster, you are not allowed to see him again." Chi Lian said in a low voice: "You forgot, back then he refused to talk to you." Your marriage caused you to be seriously ill and almost died, now he has repaid your love, and you have never owed anything since then."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and tidied up in front of the makeup mirror.

"But Miss..."

"Or, you can ask Yan Hai now. If he is willing to marry you, I will have no second opinion." She walked to the door and said as she walked, "Uncle asked you to follow me to Chaomu Pavilion, and we will also marry you." We have been together for ten years, and I also hope that you can have a good home, but whether Yan Hai is a good home, you can do it yourself."

Jingchan knelt there with her head down, looking weak and pitiful but extremely stubborn.

Jing Yi sighed, and hurriedly followed Chi Lian and left.

She knelt in the room by herself, and it was not until a long time later that she stood up unsteadily and walked towards Yan Hai's residence.

The people who lived with her have moved out, and now Yan Hai lives alone in this room.

Yan Hai sat at the table, holding a pen and paper that he found somewhere, and carefully sketched the green temple hairpins, feathers and rings, but the appearance of the person in the painting was blank.

"Is this painting the one in your heart?"

Yan Hai put down his pen and raised his head to look at her.

"Looking like a goddess." Jing Chan met his eyes: "You said to me back then that 'there is beauty in the heart, but there is no color', why don't you draw it for me to see, how beautiful can this beauty be? "

"Jingchan..."

"Gongbi pays attention to fineness and precision." Jing Chan said to herself: "In fact, I have known for a long time that although you look arrogant and unreasonable, you are a meticulous and meticulous person."

"Miss Jingchan, I think..."

"Show me the picture, okay?" Jingchan sat down opposite him: "Over the years, when I think of your rejection of me back then, I always feel like a stick in my throat. Now I want to finish it, and the rest is nothing. , I just want you to draw that person who has been in your heart for many years and show me."

Yan Hai was a little confused by her attitude, but she could see an irreversible determination in her eyes.

He didn't hesitate for long.

Then, he picked up the pen and drew the vacant face one by one.

Jingchan just looked at him like this, looking at the beautiful face slowly taking shape in his hands.

As Chi Lian's personal maid, she is also quite dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can see that Yan Hai's skills are actually quite different from those of the past and present painters.

The finer his strokes, the more delicate the characters are, and they are almost lifelike.

That was really a very beautiful person.

Jingchan felt sore in her heart, but she had to admit it.

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her almond eyes were slightly raised, and although her appearance was a little childish, she was already as beautiful as a spring flower.

If it is such a stunning person, it is no wonder that Yan Hai has been obsessed with it for many years and cannot let go of it.

"Judging by the way she dresses up, she should also be a young lady from a high family."

"Poetry gift hairpin tassel, rich and noble family."

Jingchan stood up, and Yan Hai also stood up.

"You are really strange, you are so different from ordinary men." She smiled slightly: "The men I have met in this world, no matter how devoted and unrepentant they are, after a few years, they fade away and don't care. Yes, after so many years, you still guard a sweetheart unswervingly, which makes people unbelievable."

"Why isn't it true? If you like someone, don't you just want to be with him?" Yan Hai said to her seriously: "It may take some time, but we will always be together."

What he said was a little strange, and his expression was also a little strange, Jingchan froze for a moment, thinking that he was suffering from lovesickness and a little hysteria.

"Yes! Yes, you can wait for her!" She didn't know why she said it, maybe after all...it was hard to calm down..."Otherwise, it would be too pitiful if such infatuation would not be reciprocated."

In the end, Jingchan didn't ask that question, and just left.

She was just a little reconciled, and didn't really have any extravagant hopes.

At least, she now knows that there will be no result between Yan Hai and the person in his heart.

It's...not good...but it's good...
