Gongshang Confidante

Unknowingly walking far away, Zhou Chiyu saw the King of Dian coming out of the house, accompanied by the Seventh Prince, the two whispered a few words, and then a servant came to lure the King of Dian.

Not far away, the second prince, Zhou Ren, stood tall and tall, wearing a purple gold python robe, standing under a tree with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Chiyu raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince appeared in the Princess's Mansion at the same time. It seems that they deliberately wanted to win over King Dian.

After all, the King of Dian has soldiers in his hands, which is a strong support.

Seeing Zhou Yue turn around, and happened to meet his gaze, Zhou Chiyu turned around and walked towards the banquet.

The sound of footsteps behind him was a bit hurried, gradually approaching, Zhou Chiyu walked leisurely as if he hadn't heard it, "I didn't expect that Zhaoning would come here too", Zhou Yue's cool voice came from behind, and while speaking, he was shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Chiyu OK.

Zhou Chiyu stood still, turned his head to look at him, and said nothing, a strange look flashed across Zhou Yue's face, and he said mockingly, "Come here for the flower feast? Brother Emperor, please ask Father Emperor for a son-in-law for you someday." "Don't bother you," Zhou Chiyu looked indifferent, turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Yue's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a sneer, "Why are you so unfamiliar with the emperor, we got close when we were children?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, and in the palm lay the silk flower of Zhou Chiyu's leftover headdress, the pale white petals were stained. up the dirt,

"Some things, if they are dirty, should be thrown away. Why do you keep them?" Zhou Chiyu said, stepping up to go, Zhou Yue stepped forward, stretching his arms over Zhou Chiyu's shoulders, Zhou Chiyu dodged in disgust, but saw Zhou Yue pinched a brightly blooming poppie on the branch with his fingers, and sneered, "Zhaoning has been used to being poor since she was a child, and likes petty things like silk flowers. Brother Huang will compensate you, this blooming poppie can win!"

A hundred times better than silk flowers? ",

Zhou Chiyu didn't pick it up, and said in a choked voice, "How about silk flowers? They bloom for a long time and never fade. It's better than a sudden rise, and the folded flowers die. It's only a moment of beauty." Zhou Yue's face gradually darkened, and said, "It's just folded flowers. If you don't like it, it's fine. " After finishing speaking, he threw the poppies in his hands on the ground, and the delicate and blooming poppies were instantly crushed to pieces under his feet.

Zhou Chiyu looked at Zhou Yue coldly, and said coldly, "I would like to advise you, brother, let the flowers reward you and send Xiangying away, and you will die if you break the flower branches indiscriminately." After saying that, he left without looking back.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yue's eyes surged with anger, he clenched his teeth, and stared at Zhou Chiyu's leaving back.

He lowered his head, and slowly let go of his palms. In his fist was a silk flower, which was wrinkled.

When Zhou Chiyu returned to the flower banquet, there were already many small boats on the lake. The people on them were lying on the side, leaned over and stretched out their hands, lifted up the lotus lanterns, and inspected them carefully, especially the west side of the Rong Bridge. , noisy.

"Where have you been, Chi Yu?" Su Muxue's voice sounded beside his ears, and it was so clear and pleasant that it extinguished the little anger that had just ignited in Zhou Chiyu's heart, and he became much calmer.

"Others can pick lotuses for you, what are you doing here?" Zhou Chiyu glanced at her, then turned back, looking at the lake, where a man in white stood on the bow of the boat, heading towards Rongqiao.

Su Muxue choked, paused, and then said, "I didn't want to come, but I couldn't go against my grandfather's wishes..." He hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't intend to be with him..." After finishing speaking, she felt as if He was talking too much, and said with a sneer, "Why am I telling you this? You are still young."

"No one knows the purpose of my aunt's flower banquet. I'm already sixteen, not too young," Zhou Chiyu said, looking at Lin Wenxuan, he was indeed a good man.

Su Muxue didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said, "The thousand-fold-cold golden lotus is exquisitely made, do Chi Yu want to find it?" Zhou Chiyu chuckled, and gave Su Muxue a look, "Auntie's thoughts are always playing tricks on others. , that is not something you can get at your fingertips, it is not the West of Rongqiao mentioned in the poem",

Seeing her show off, Su Muxue stretched out her hand and pulled her towards the lake, "Then where do you say it is?", "I think Mr. Lin has already guessed it." Zhou Chiyu looked at Lin Wenxuan's boat and stood wobbly. Under the Rong Bridge, I ordered my long penny to poke into the water,

"Looking up at the mountains and rivers of Xinhu Lake, the emerald curtain can't be hidden by the smoke and waves. There is a sound in the west of Rongqiao, and there is a yellow oriole singing just below. Xinhu, under the bridge?" Su Muxue frowned, "The lotus lantern is actually hidden in the water under the bridge ...",

Lin Wenxuan's actions attracted the attention of many people, and they all gathered under the bridge for a moment. Lin Wenxuan was a little anxious, and ordered people to move faster, but the night was dark, how to distinguish the underwater scenery.

"Go into the water, whoever fishes it out for me will be rewarded with ten ingots!", the early spring is bitter, and the water is even colder, but under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, plop, plop into the water, and a few bold followers , jumped directly into the lake, and dived to the bottom of the lake.

"My aunt is playing tricks on people like this. I heard that this is not the first time." Zhou Chiyu watched the people flopping about in the lake with cold eyes. The water was so cold that some people couldn't help but climbed into the boat, drank a few sips of wine, and then went down again.

"It's just that I feel sorry for the thousand-fold golden lotus. Seeing what you said, it seems that my aunt has a bad heart." The eldest princess laughed beside, and there were two pretty maids standing beside her, with light gauze and delicate bodies. Linglong, shyly holding her by the arm.

The eldest princess spoke seriously, but she smiled openly, looking at the people on the lake with a look of fun, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, Mr. Lin seems to be...",

The two looked along the line of sight, and saw that Lin Wenxuan saw more and more people surrounding him, and people kept falling into the water, so he couldn't help getting anxious, took two sips of wine from the flagon in a hurry, took off his coat, and was about to go into the lake Jump,

With a plop, not far from Lin Wenxuan, a figure leaped into the lake, and plunged into it. Lin Wenxuan was stunned, squatting on the side of the boat to take a look, with a strange expression on his face, standing on the boat stiffly, not knowing whether to get off or Should not be under.

There were small water splashes on the surface of the lake, and then they became bigger and bigger, and the bubbles burst out. Suddenly, with a bang, a gold-plated hollow lotus flower rose from the bottom of the lake, which was very dazzling in the firelight, "It's a pity , It's a pity", someone sighed repeatedly, and a head fell from the lake.

He came out, shook his hair, his eyes were shining in the night.

Lin Wenxuan ordered someone to row over, and stretched out his hand to pull the man up. The wet black five-claw python robe blended into the night, only the sternness and indifference in the corners of his eyes easily attracted people's attention.

"Seventh prince?! It's actually the seventh prince?!", someone shouted repeatedly, "When will this child, Yue'er, start messing around?" The eldest princess laughed and shook her head in confusion.

Who knows that the second prince, Zhou Ren, is gentle and affectionate, and the seventh prince, Zhou Yue, is indifferent and stern, unfeminine, and hangs out in the army all day long. Unexpectedly, he would jump into the lake to grab today's prize.

Everyone present was very curious about who the Seventh Prince would give the lottery to.

"The seventh prince is wise and wise. He guessed that the lotus was under the bridge. He was brave and jumped into the lake regardless. He is so talented in both civil and martial arts. This thousand-fold cold golden lotus should be given as a gift. Blessings for people," the eldest princess said with a slight smile, took out the thousand-fold cold golden lotus from the tray, and handed it to Zhou Yue herself.

The women present all looked at the Seventh Prince shyly, wondering who would be the Seventh Prince's fancy.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yue put the thousand-fold golden lotus into his bosom, cupped his hands and thanked him, "Auntie, this lotus is really my favorite, and it can steal people's goodness, and there is no one to give it to you. Thank you, auntie, for helping me."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, and said angrily, "You child, you have broken the rules of my aunt's flower banquet." Zhou Yue stood silent, and the eldest princess took him for nothing.

However, I had no choice but to wave my hand, "Forget it, forget it, it's up to you, don't allow it next time",

Zhou Yue bowed and thanked him, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Zhou Chiyu, with an angry smile on his lips, he turned and left.

"Master Su, Lin has broken his promise, I'm ashamed", Lin Wenxuan said regretfully to Su Muxue, "It's okay, I didn't mean to", Su Muxue

Xue said, Lin Wenxuan wanted to approach her and say a few words to her, but seeing that she was standing beside Zhou Chiyu with an unmoved expression, she had to cup her hands and hold her for a while.

back away.

"This Lin Wenxuan, seeing that the person in the water is the Seventh Prince, just gave in. He really is a well-rounded person." Zhou Chiyu didn't know whether to praise or belittle, so he said coldly,

"It has nothing to do with me," Su Muxue blinked innocently, and tugged on Zhou Chiyu's sleeve, "You..." Zhou Chiyu's cold face couldn't hold back, he turned his face awkwardly, and said, "What does it have to do with me?" ?”,

Su Muxue took her hand, and the two walked down the porch. By the light of the lantern, they put their arms around her shoulders, looked left and right, felt a little melancholy, and said, "Long time no see, I miss you..." ,

Zhou Chiyu is not, but it is difficult to speak, and he said awkwardly, "Why don't you come to see me? I think you are busy with your marriage." "That day, I hurried to Mobei, and my grandfather's anger finally disappeared. So Stay with him more at home," Su Muxue sighed, "At my age,

Ji, it's time to consider marriage."

"Does Mu Xue have a crush?" Zhou Chiyu raised his head and asked, Su Muxue didn't answer, just looked at her, his eyes were like haze, and under the shadow of the candlelight, the rays of light overflowed, the tenderness in his eyes couldn't help it poured out.

Zhou Chiyu saw his own reflection in her eyes, and saw the thousands of threads of affection, as if protruding from the eyes, wrapping around her eyes, her hands, and everything about her.

"Ah...", Zhou Chiyu took a step back, as if he had come to his senses, and asked again, "Why didn't you answer me?",

The dim yellow lantern stretched the figures of the two people very long. Su Muxue was half a head taller than her. She lowered her head and raised her hand. Her slender and slender fingertips fell gently. Zhou Chiyu tried to tilt her head, but it still fell on her. finger down.

The cold fingertips trembled lightly, as if brushing her cheeks, as if stroking her hair, a cool breath spewed out, followed by Su Muxue's heaving chest, every breath seemed to be accumulating courage .
