Zhu Lan is dead

The spring is late, and the flowers and trees are luxuriant.

The surface of the water is light and shallow, and the birds are singing in the ear.Today, the tea is crushed, and the needles of the new leaves are floating. You can see the quiet scenery and the wind, but the sound of the bell is mysterious in the distant mountains.

It's just that after a short period of meditation, there was a timely sound of footsteps behind him, and then the slanting wind brushed past his temples, and the teacup in his hand shook violently, almost splashing his sleeves.

He turned sideways and reversed his grip, but the person behind him shot like the wind, his fingers hit his elbow, and with a force of two points, he was pushed violently, and all the newly brewed tea in his hand was overturned on the green water beside him. middle.

There was a burst of ripples, the fragrance of tea lingered, and the golden red-tailed carp at the bottom of the water wandered away.

"The tea is cold."

Glancing at the overturned tea leaves, Yu Changqi turned his eyebrows together, "Your Majesty is willing to give up the money."

However, Zhou Lixiao sat down beside him, his eyes were green against the mountains, his eyes were clear with water, and there was a hint of playfulness, "You are the one who wasted, the new tea tastes the sweet taste of brewing, it cools for a while, but Is there still a price to try?"

"It tastes bitter." Yu Changqi put down the teacup and sat quietly.

"Hmph, you are really welcome, don't forget that I am the king..."

"Of course I don't dare to forget, but this is outside the palace." Yu Changqi glanced sternly, but he still remembered what the man in front of him said when he went out today.

Ning Mei looked at Yu Changqi quietly for a long while, but she didn't know what to think of, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she leaned against the red pillar behind her, "That's right, a gentleman speaks a word, not to mention that I am a nobleman of ninety-five."

The implication is to ask him to be more careful when he speaks. The courtiers are still polite and have to be humble. Yu Changqi is a little helpless. Seeing that the man still maintains his usual condescending style, he can only bow his head and say yes.

Smiling in satisfaction, the usual majesty and coldness seemed to dissipate. It was only when they were so leisurely and enjoyable that they could get along so well.

"It's the day of late spring and the day of Yuansi. Why don't you go with those people?"

A lot of people gathered by the green water not far from them. Today, March [-]rd is the Shangsi Festival. Since ancient times, the folks have had the custom of purifying the waterside and bathing, removing dirt and reducing disasters. The auspicious day of worshiping evil spirits has become a festival of feasting and drinking.

Over there is silk and bamboo wine and music, but here is still water and a leisurely courtyard, Yu Changqi said honestly: "Your Majesty asks knowingly."

"...Keep your promise?" Zhou Lixiao glanced at him.

"I don't want to go."

Smiled again with satisfaction, "If you can't do the ceremony, you don't understand the rules, why don't you compete with me, the loser..." He raised his eyebrows and looked at the green water beside him, "Go down and wash How is your body?"

Yu Changqi knew in his heart that once Zhou Lixiao let go of his social status, he would return to his previous unrestrained manner, and the so-called nonsense was just this kind of person.

Naturally, I knew in my heart what the final outcome would be. In order to avoid losing less money, I had to admit defeat in advance, "I can't beat you."

"Admitting defeat doesn't count."

Before the words finished, Zhou Lixiao had already raised his hand to strike him. Yu Changqi was startled, and immediately got up and spun his palm. The latter followed closely, and the two of them fought in this not-so-spacious courtyard instantly. up.

If he took a wrong step, he would fall straight into the water, but he still couldn't make a move, so he had to step back and back again. Otherwise, if he dared to make a move, the officials would find a reason in the future.

It's just that Zhou Lixiao didn't restrain himself when he struck. The strength of his fists and palms seemed to be the same as when he held a golden spear on the battlefield to defeat the enemy and dismounted. The place ached.

He took several steps back and couldn't keep track of the way, so he was only qualified to enter the water, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Zhou Lixiao often consulted with him on weekdays, but at that time, both sides had the opportunity to show their fists, but now this The general blind suppression is obviously to make him cheap.

Suddenly remembered that after the matter was over, this person neither questioned him, nor did he intend to pursue it. He thought it was over, but looking at it now, this person obviously knew it well.

"I know what you're thinking." Zhou Lixiao sneered, and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, "If you don't pursue it, it doesn't mean that I won't care. If you don't ask, it doesn't mean that I won't know."

He clenched his fist with five fingers, and then wanted to open it, but Zhou Lixiao abruptly broke the move halfway. This palm hit him firmly and firmly on the shoulder bone. After a long while, he was forced to step back three feet, and his fingers clenched tightly. Curled up, but the tiger's mouth was numb for a while.

"I'm giving you a chance." Zhou Lixiao looked at him with a smile, and walked slowly towards him.

His brows are majestic and deep, like a long spear piercing his stomach, "But you let me down again and again." Suddenly, he pointed like a knife against his temples and folded off the long hair in his bun with his fingers. hairpin.

With a crisp sound of "ding", there was a clear snapping sound in his ears, Yu Changqi was startled, the long hairpin pierced his neck in just a moment.

There was a sharp pain, but no blood spilled out. Zhou Lixiao looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. Since I haven't pursued the responsibility, I will definitely not trouble you."

Slowly withdrew his hand, and he threw the broken long hairpin into the green water. With a meaningful smile on his lips, he walked around him slowly, and whispered in his ear, "Ai Qing, you lose."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his long arm and put it on Yu Changqi's shoulder, and the latter was thrown into the water in an instant.

Unprepared for the cold water flowing over his mouth and nose, Yu Changqi was startled, and quickly emerged from the water, his messy black hair hung wetly on his waist, and the water drops on his eyelashes slid across the bridge of his nose, and he wiped it away with his hand. Dizzy and hazy.

The man in front of him only left a leisurely back.

The green water was only waist deep, and after standing still for a while, he slowly climbed out of the water to the shore.

Fortunately, the weather is clear today, and the warm sun shines on the body. Even if there is a wind passing by, it doesn't feel cold, but a wet suit is unavoidable, so when trying to avoid the crowd, a servant suddenly walked by.

"My lord." The attendant held a stack of robes in his hands.

Yu Changqi knew that the Fuliang Garden was originally a place for the royal family to play, so he didn't think too much about it. When he was about to reach out to take it, the attendant stopped his movements and said in a low voice: "My lord, pay attention to your body. The wind and cold are not good."

Before he could make a sound, the fingers covered under the robe suddenly touched something, and then the attendant smiled slightly, stuffed the robe and the things in his hands into his arms, saluted and left.

Stretching out his hand and slowly spreading out the thing in his hand, it turned out to be a Yugui that looked like a conquest on the battlefield, but this thing was not as big as Yugui, only half the size of a palm, agate-colored all over, and cold to the touch.

There was a burst of doubt in my heart, but before I could see the words on the thing clearly, there was a loud noise not far away, I put away the things in my hands, put on my robe, and walked over there.

"Can you explain things?" There was a figure hidden in the shade of the tree, and the attendant at the side bowed his head and respectfully said: "The villain has explained everything, don't worry."

"Yeah." He replied lazily, shaking his fan lightly, reached out and took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve, and threw them into the attendant's hand, "Your reward."

"Thank you, sir..." The attendant didn't refuse, and took it honestly. When he was about to leave, the man in the shade stopped him again, with a gentle smile, "You have to remember this." gone."

The attendant was also clever, "I know, if someone asks about Quan, I don't know..."

"No, if someone asks, don't be in a hurry to deny it..." The man beat the fan in his hand, and there was a mockery in his eyes, "Just say it was given by the young master of the Lin family."

At night, the stars are sparse.

Sitting alone under the moon drinking wine, brows and eyes are red, the glass of wine in hand is about to pour, just about to reach for it in a daze, but someone grabs the wine glass that is about to fall to the ground.

"Sleeping..."

The names that came out subconsciously stopped immediately after seeing the person in front of him.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Putting the wine glass in his hand on the table, Du Xi looked at him with a worried expression on his face.

"No, it's okay..." There was a shock in my heart, and I rubbed my forehead, "Guyue must be drunk..."

"You were not like this before." Du Xiluo sat opposite him, "If you let the princess know about your behavior..."

"Liandi, is she alright?"

Du Xi frowned when he heard the words, "I heard that the princess is fine, and she has restrained her temper a lot."

"That's good." He lowered his head, and the cool wine slid down his throat again, but he didn't know whether it was more fortunate or bitter in his heart. Since the end of the last marriage, he and that person have not seen each other for many days. Half a letter, in fact, it's better not to see him now, that person is afraid that he will hate himself to death.

Du Xi said: "It's been more than a month now, it's thanks to His Majesty who suddenly changed his words to marry the daughter of the clan to marry, otherwise, according to the princess's temperament, the order would cause serious trouble."

Those words were unknowingly tinged with joy, Zhou Keyin looked at him and smiled, "Yes, if Lian Di really gets married, wouldn't you have lost your chance?"

"...Your Highness."

"Gu actually knows that you have been by Gu's side since you were a child, and you can't hide your thoughts, let alone how can you hide it?"

Du Xi couldn't hide it anymore after being told, so he had to honestly admit, "Your Highness has unique insight, so I can't hide my small thoughts, it's just the difference in identity..."

"If you like it, why don't you deserve it?" Zhou Keyin suddenly corrected his color, and his eyes glowed sporadically, "Actually, at most, it's just the word liking. If you win her sincerity, you will eventually be happy with each other. What's the problem?"

"..."

"Father actually loves my younger sister. She has been stubborn since she was a child, and she has never suffered any disadvantages. Now that she is married so far away, it must be someone's concern. Now that the dust has settled, if you are willing to treat her sincerely, father, queen, mother I will definitely agree."

He said these words in succession, his mind became more and more drunk, but he became sober. At the beginning, he didn't know where he was twitching. Obviously, the marriage was approaching, but he suddenly refused. The daughter of the clan was married to Guo Rong. Although everyone's worries were resolved and her sister's reluctance to marry was resolved, in the end, she offended that person thoroughly.

As if remembering the look on that person's face when he was parting that day, he couldn't help but smile wryly, completely annoyed that person, and made him die. In this way, they should no longer have any ties.

Putting his finger on the wine glass, he smiled softly, "In half a month, Liandi will be able to come back from Jingnvguan. At that time, whether you can win her heart or not depends on what you do..."
