The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Lingyang City is located thousands of miles away from the capital, adjacent to the mountains and the sea, with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.Because of this, the economy in this area is prosperous, and the towns and cities have four roads and eight streets, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Different from the serious and solemn atmosphere in the capital, there is a bit of extravagance and lust in the tranquility and peace here.

As for Meng Qing, she lived in an old house on the south side of Lingyang City. The scenery there was excellent. Looking down, there were high mountains outside the city, and even temples on the mountain could be seen.The only downside is that it is a little far away from the city, and a small silk shop run by Meng Qing is also close to the city, and it takes a long trip to go back and forth.

The silk and satin shop is called Shadow Inseparable Lamp, which is a very strange name.

There are not many people inside, there is an old man who is thinking about the abacus in front, and a young boy.A few guests come and go, but the waiter doesn't go to greet him. If someone comes forward to ask, he will answer them one by one patiently.After answering, the man stayed quietly aside again, not disturbing the customer to choose silk and satin.

Whatever you want is the eye-catching slogan in the store.

The silk and satin shop of "Shadow inseparable from the lamp" is quite unique from other businesses.

On this day, the sky was a little dark, and the cool breeze was blowing, as if a storm was about to come.

About Sishi, the silk and satin store opened as usual, and not long after, a group of tall and thick men came straight to the silk and satin store.

The little boy was putting the silk and satin out little by little, and he saw it from the corner of his eye, and hurried into the store, whispered a few words to the old man who was in charge of the accounts, and then collected the silk and satin again.

He moved swiftly, packed up, and the group of people were just a few steps away.

The boy closed the door in a panic, fastened the latch from the inside, and moved two tables against the door.

The group of men refused to give up after being rejected, and each of them pulled out a long wooden stick, making a gesture to break in and make trouble.

At this moment, a carriage came slowly.

The group of men immediately hid the sticks and leaned against the wall.They didn't seem to want people to see them, and they waited for people to pass before continuing.

However, the carriage stopped at the silk shop, and two people got out of the carriage.

A young man with sharp eyes and a handsome face.

The young boy raised his head and stared intently at the four characters "Shadow inseparable lamp" on the plaque. He was so engrossed that he didn't blink for a long time, and his eye circles were red.

"It's his word."

The young man murmured.

The group of men who wanted to make trouble stood in a row with embarrassment, which was quite funny.That carriage also came for the silk and satin business, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"What are you doing here?" The young man finally noticed them and asked.

The group of men looked at each other, the wooden sticks were hidden behind them, blocked by the wall, and they didn't want people to find out, but the young man still noticed: "What's behind you? Sticks? What exactly are you trying to do?"

The group of men shook their heads, backed away slowly, then turned their heads abruptly, and ran away.

He Li was at a loss, but felt that they were not kind.

Ju Xie asked, "Do you want to go in?"

He Li said: "The door is not open, forget it, let's go."

Su Yu knew about Meng Qing's residence, so he drove a carriage and took He Li and the others to Meng's residence.

As soon as they left the entrance of the silk and satin shop, the young man quietly opened a crack in the door and said, "Old man, the group of people who came later scared away the troublemakers, and now there is no one outside the door."

The old gentleman nodded and said, "Okay, leave them alone and open the door again."

**

Meng's house was unexpectedly simple, surrounded by fences, and the house was just an ordinary house without any decorations.It's just that tea trees are all planted in the fenced yard.

The tea tree is not big, it is a camellia. When Meng Qing was in the palace, he kept dozens of pots of this kind of bonsai.Now in this yard, it is directly planted in the soil. Although there are only a few yellow leaves left in this season, it is still very interesting.

There seemed to be no one in the house, Shi Qi knocked several times in a row, but there was still silence inside.

Su Yu said: "Master Meng seems to be absent."

He Li said: "Then come back later."

He Li didn't want to go to the post station, so they stayed at the inn.

After more than ten days of continuous journey, they all looked tired.But before the rest, I went to Ruyi Building.

Ruyilou is the largest restaurant in Lingyang City.The facade is gorgeously decorated, and even the plaque with the words "Ruyi Building" is also made of eye-catching gold.And this flowing handwriting...

Looking at the lower right corner along the plaque, the seal engraved on that end is Nanliu Mengshi.

Meng Qing.

I didn't expect to meet so many things related to Meng Qing as soon as I arrived in Lingyang City.

He Li couldn't tell what it felt like, it was like a few years ago, when they were in the palace, it seemed like a lifetime away.He pinched Su Yu's wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "If you and Yuan Zhimi hadn't deliberately kept it from me, you wouldn't have missed Meng Qing for so many years."

Meng Qing didn't intend to hide from him, nor did she intend to hide from anyone, she even settled here openly.

Su Yu knew he was wrong, and let He Li pinch his wrist red.

Probably because Su Yu's reaction was too boring, He Li let him go, and stepped into the Ruyi Building with his hands behind his back.

Ruyi Building is also resplendent and luxurious inside.

Xiao Er led them to the vacant seats and asked them to wait a while, while he passed the dishes first.

While waiting, Heli asked Juxie, "Are you in a bad mood these days?"

Su Yu and Seventeen were taken aback at the same time.

Ju Xie raised her eyes calmly, and asked back, "Why do you say that?"

He Li said: "When you approach Lingyang City, you don't say a word, your eyes are lax, as if you have something on your mind."

At this point, Su Yu became curious: "Mr. Li, Mr. Ju usually looks like this, what's the difference?"

He Li said: "Didn't you notice?"

Su Yu shook his head.

He Li asked Seventeen: "What about you?"

Seventeen said: "Or... maybe, Mr. Ju is really unhappy."

Of course Shi Qi didn't notice it, she was just echoing his words.

Ju Xie glanced at Shi Qi lightly, and said, "I'm not in a bad mood."

He Li sighed, and said again: "Look, you are not very happy now, and you still don't admit it."

Now?

Su Yu and Seventeen looked at Juxie, there was no unnecessary expression on the other's face, and they couldn't see any displeasure.

Ju Xie took a sip of tea and said casually: "On the way here, you and Yuehe had a good time."

He Li said: "Could it be that I only care about playing with Yue He and neglected you, so you are not happy."

"..." Ju Xie was speechless for a moment, then denied, "No."

He Li said, "Why is that?"

Su Yu also said: "How can Mr. Li see that he is unhappy?"

"Feeling." He Li said quite generously, "Young Master Ju, it's okay, if you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to mention it, we have been together for so long, don't need to see outsiders."

Xiaoer served the dishes very quickly, and he only said a few words here before he filled the table with dishes.

Ju Xie picked up the chopsticks without picking up any food, and said, "Before I answer, let me ask you a question."

He Li said: "You say."

Ju Xie said: "You will see Meng Qing soon, how do you feel?"

He Li said without hesitation: "Not very good."

Su Yudao: "Mr. Li, you are leaving the palace for Master Meng, and you have already arrived in Lingyang City, that's why you said that."

What he meant, it was better to understand his intentions as soon as possible, so that he could turn the carriage back to the palace earlier.

He Li shook his head and said: "Meng Qing is an elder to me, a good teacher and helpful friend. I respect him from the beginning to the end. But I haven't seen Meng Qing for several years, and I haven't even exchanged letters, and I don't know him. what's up……"

Ju Xie understood a bit: "You are worried about being unfamiliar with him, and you don't know how to face it. The purpose of your coming out is to find him, and now you are already in front of the house, and you are shrinking?"

Heli said anxiously: "That's different, I'm..."

Ju Xie said, "How?"

He Li let go of his chopsticks, and said dejectedly, "You're right, I'm afraid. But I don't know why, but I'm a little afraid of seeing Meng Qing."

He Li was also very surprised by this kind of mood. He thought that he would be very excited at this moment, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Ju Xie sighed, and said, "It seems that you take him very seriously."

That's why he was so uneasy when he got close to the door.

He Li didn't comment on this, he said: "If my... father is still there, then Meng Qing will be my second most important person."

'Snapped……'

Ju Xie put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm full."

After speaking, he turned and left.
