Zhenlong Gluttonous Feast

Back at the inn, when I pushed open the half-hidden door, the laughter inside immediately spilled out.

I walked in and the door slammed shut behind me.

Those people turned their heads at the same time when they heard the noise, the smiles still hung on their faces.

Fan Meizhu greeted in a different way, "Yo."

He Ling couldn't hold back and rushed forward, wrapped my arms around me, "My lord, you are back."

After being shaken by him, he finally raised his neck.

When I met Ruan Xiangrong's eyes, I felt a palpitation in my heart, but it was fleeting.

I lowered my eyes and smiled slightly, "Well, I'm back."

"My lord, just now we were still discussing where you went, and obviously you couldn't get out of it with a cold."

... Hey, conscience of heaven and earth, I have never said such a thing.

Besides, he, He Ling, is the only one who would believe this obvious excuse.

Fan Meizhuo said, "Do you even need to ask? Such a beautiful day, I want to spend it with a beautiful woman."

I knew it was a joke when I heard it, but I was touched inexplicably.

Again, only He Ling got up seriously, "But Mr. Fan, who can my lord be with? And who can accompany my lord?"

"Well." Fan Meizu pouted her mouth and pointed her chin at me, "Then you have to ask your lord yourself."

"Ah, ah, I dare not do that!"

"It doesn't matter, if something happens, our family will take care of it..."

Seeing the two talking to each other, they were enjoying themselves so much that their vision became blurred.

Until their voices gradually faded in my mind, I pulled my arm away from He Ling, and then sat down on the chair beside Ruan Xiangrong.

When reaching for the teacup upside down on the tray, Fu Liao, who had been standing silently behind him, quickly took over the rest of the action.

While sipping tea one by one, Ruan Xiangrong suddenly said in a soft voice that only the two of us could hear, "I thought you wouldn't come back today."

I twitched the corner of my lower lip, laughing sourly and self-deprecatingly, "The so-called world is unpredictable."

"...Hey?!" He seemed to be amazed, probably because he saw that I had no intention of answering, and then continued, "It's fine to come back, I just have a matter..."

Before he finished speaking, He Ling came over with a bluff and interrupted him invisibly, "My lord, listen to me, the lantern festival is really beautiful, and there are really many people on the street today! The most beautiful is the That specially arranged giant lotus lantern!"

I casually responded, "Is that so, He Ling, could it be that you haven't seen it before?"

It was a very ordinary question, but he blushed all over the place and grabbed the hem of his clothes embarrassingly, "No, no, I have never seen such a large lantern festival in the palace before."

Immediately I realized that even if there was a lantern festival in the palace, it was only for those nobles in the palace, so there was no need for a large scale.

The period of time in the palace that I mentioned unexpectedly made me feel emotional for a while.

Fan Meizui wondered, "So He Ling is from the palace?"

"Ah... well, that's what happened before I followed the adults." He Ling replied vaguely, obviously he didn't want to mention that part of the past.

Seeing him like this, I suddenly regretted it.

ok I admit it.

It's just because of my own mood that I wantonly dig up other people's scars.

As Qin Xinyue said, I'm really a pretty bad guy.

It was getting late at this moment, so they dispersed before chatting for a long time.

Ruan Xiangrong's room and I were only separated by a wall. When I was about to step through the threshold, I felt him looking at me with some hesitation.

So, he stood still and raised his eyebrows at him, "Is there anything else?!"

Of course, I will not forget that when he was in the lobby just now, he had something to say but was suddenly interrupted by He Ling.

At this time, Fan Mei stayed behind her, glanced at each of us, and then went into the house.

Ruan Xiangrong also turned around and looked at him, his voice continued, "I ran into Zhao Huilin on the street today."

He almost couldn't remember who this Zhao Huilin was, but he just felt a little familiar.

Under his repeated reminders, he suddenly recalled this big friend.

He is Zhao Shulin's younger brother, Prince Bao personally appointed by the current emperor.

He Ling had inquired before that there would be many princes and nobles coming here, so it was not surprising that that guy would appear here.

Ruan Xiangrong said, "I didn't know it was him at first, but I didn't know that he was sitting in a sedan chair and passing us."

"You were seen?"

"That's not true, but strange things are yet to come."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"The four of us who were traveling with us all saw him, but the reaction of that person...is really not right."

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××香×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

I rested my chin and stood at the table in a daze.

A hand slammed onto my shoulder from behind, accompanied by brisk words that followed.

"What are you thinking?!"

I trembled and almost slipped.

Looking back, who else is the man standing behind him if not Fan Meizui?

Fan Meizhu had to clap her palms and laughed loudly, "Haha, you must be scared."

I couldn't help feeling annoyed in my heart, and raised my finger to point to the seat opposite to indicate that he could sit there.

He shook his robe slowly, and then Shi Shiran sat down.

Before I had time to ask, he came to my room early in the morning to find out what was wrong with me, and he had already opened his mouth first.

He said, "No name, our family plans to return to Miaojiang tomorrow, do you want to come together?"

The words came so suddenly, I couldn't help but startled.

He obviously misunderstood the meaning of my reaction, so he explained, "Our family didn't force you, after all, the melon that is forced is not sweet, and everything is up to you."

I repeated it slowly, "Twisted melons are not sweet... are they?"

"No name?" He tilted his head, expressing his confusion.

Suddenly realizing the gaffe just now, I turned to laugh and said, "I heard someone say that I met an old friend on the street yesterday."

Hearing this, the corners of his lips twitched.

I stood up, walked slowly to him, and then bent down my upper body.

He shrank back subconsciously, although there was only the back of the chair and a bare wall behind him.

At last there was no way to retreat, he blinked his eyes.

"Could it be him?"

"What, what?"

"I remember that I heard someone talk about a romantic affair in the past, and that guy was a romantic."

"..."

"The sudden decision to go back is also because of him."

Under my aggressive questioning, he fell silent.

In my opinion, this represents exactly what I expected.

Ruan Xiangrong left me to talk about this matter yesterday. At most, he would suspect that this guy had something to do with the imperial court, but I thought of the completely opposite direction.

Now, when I almost thought that Fan Meizhui was going to keep silent to replace all the answers, he said, "Our family doesn't know."

"what?"

"In the past so many years, our family always thought that he remembered his appearance very well. We didn't realize it until yesterday. Maybe if we meet him again on the street and pass by him, we may not be able to recognize him."

I asked in surprise, "Didn't you already recognize him?!"

"No...it's just...hey, it's better not to mention this matter, it's all over anyway."

He spoke with certainty, and although I didn't take it seriously, I couldn't find anything to refute.

Talking too much is always too much, and finally I sighed and stood upright.

He raised his face, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.

"Hey, how are you and that person?"

That person... refers to Qin Xinyue, he had an impression of him in Miaojiang before.

I can't predict how much I can learn about Qin Xinyue with his Fan Mei's intelligence network, I leaned against the window and raised the corners of my lips, and let out a cold smile, "What is it?"

"That's what our family guessed."

...Hey, did I say anything?

"Actually, our family felt at the beginning that the two of you couldn't last long."

I couldn't help rolling my eyes, and thought to myself, since you are so foresighted, why did you match up like that in the first place.But after all, I still couldn't say it out, maybe there was still some unwillingness in my subconscious.

Fan Meizhu said very seriously, "Wu Ming, do you know what the furthest distance in the world is?"

I said coldly, "Power, status, or selfish desire?"

He closed his eyes and shook his head, "None."

I have a whole meal.

"It's two equally proud people who were burned by each other's sharpness."

Just one sentence that sums it all up.

Just like Fan Meizhu herself, and like me and Qin Xinyue.

Suddenly I laughed, causing him to frown in the midst of the laughter.

"Did we say something funny?"

I quickly waved my hand and said out of breath, "No, no, I'm just thinking about one thing."

"What is it?"

"This seat is thinking, if we are still alone in the future, it would be better to be a companion."

He was startled, and his face became bitter, "Your partner...our family can't do it."
