People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Xu Xilu followed behind the well-dressed man and walked all the way to the back mountain.Xie Qingshen wanted to go with her, but she was worried that no one would be found after Xie's burning incense, so she had to stay.

Compared with the incense in the front hall, the back mountain is much quieter.Xu Xilu stepped on the falling flowers, and saw the young master in yellow shirt sitting alone in the elegant pavilion, holding a chess piece in his hand, playing chess with himself, meditating quietly.The petals outside the pavilion are like rain, and he is in it, just like a handsome young man walking out of a picture scroll.

Xu Xilu stopped and called out, "Young Master Lu."

Lu Xiangrong's hand holding the chess pieces paused for a moment, then looked back, eyebrows curved, "Master Xu, what a coincidence."

Xu Xilu walked up to him and sat down, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "It's a coincidence, if we meet again by chance, I will think you sent someone to follow me."

Lu Xiangrong didn't change his face, just looked at him with a smile.Xu Xilu saw a jug of wine on the table, from which there was a faint scent of wine, different from the last Baizang wine, this wine had less wine smell, but more faint floral scent.

"What kind of wine is this?" Xu Xilu asked.

"This is made from peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms in Qingcheng Mountain are used." Lu Xiangrong picked up the wine glass with a jade-like hand, and took a sip. Under the peach tree, let him see the sun again today. Mr. Lu, do you want to try it?"

Xu Xilu declined, "No, Mr. Lu's wine is too good, too much will make people addicted. If it's like last time..."

"Last time?" Lu Xiangrong said with a smile, "Didn't it go well last time?"

It's not bad, it's just that Lu Xiangrong's identity is a mystery, he is by no means an ordinary person, and there is no such a person among the princes of the aristocratic families in the capital, it is really suspicious.Xu Xilu had a drink with him last time, lost his usual vigilance, and said some things that shouldn't be said.This time he has learned his lesson, and he must not be so dizzy again.

After making up his mind, Xu Xilu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Lu always drinks me every time he sees me. What's the meaning of that?"

Lu Xiangrong raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it because I happen to have wine every time I see Mr. Lu?"

What he said was watertight, and Xu Xilu could hardly find any flaws.After the Lantern Festival, he deliberately inquired around, but no one knew who Lu Xiangrong was.The more Xu Xilu thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Xiangrong was not his real name, but why did he hide his identity from himself?But this person is still so good-looking, the deeper he hides, the more itchy Xu Xilu becomes, wanting to find out--that's enough.

Lu Xiangrong poured a glass of wine, pushed it in front of Xu Xilu, and did not persuade him to drink, seemingly casually said: "Did the wish that Mr. Lu made to Jiang Shen last time come true?"

Mentioning this matter, Xu Xilu couldn't help but startled.He secretly looked at Lu Xiangrong, only to see that the other person had a smile on his face, as gentle as jade, and he didn't look like someone who was hiding ulterior motives at all. "It's been realized." Xu Xilu said, "But I don't think it has anything to do with Xunjiang's Jiangshen."

Lu Xiangrong placed his slender fingertips on his lips, "Young master Xu's remarks will make Lord Jiang Shen angry."

"Oh?" Xu Xilu said amusedly, "If Lord Jiang Shen gets angry, what will happen to me?"

Lu Xiangrong's eyes were full of mist, and he said with a smile: "Probably, it will be scary."

"I never believe in ghosts and gods." Xu Xilu paused, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

A small petal fluttered down and landed on Lu Xiangrong's long eyelashes.Xu Xilu leaned over, said "don't move", and twisted the pink and white petals for him.Lu Xiangrong's long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, covering the dark lust in his eyes.

The flower petal that provoked Lu Xiangrong stuck to Xu Xilu's fingertips, and when the latter blew gently, it began to dance lightly again, and finally fell into the dust like other peach blossoms. "Unless Jiang Shen can grant me one more wish." Xu Xilu half-truthfully said, "I don't like peach blossoms, but apricot blossoms. If this Qingcheng Mountain can plant a mountain full of apricot blossoms, in the spring of next year, apricot blossoms will be planted. The flowers are in full bloom, and the rouge is pale red and white, isn't it beautiful?"

Xu Xilu originally thought that Lu Xiangrong would laugh at his absurdity, but unexpectedly he wrote lightly: "As long as Mr. Lu sincerely asks, maybe you don't have to wait until next spring, Mr. Lu will be able to see the scenery you want to see."

The smile on Xu Xilu's face gradually faded, "Mr. Lu, who are you?"

"I told you," Lu Xiangrong said leisurely, "I am Jiang Shen, why doesn't Mr. Lu believe it?"

Xu Xilu naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense, and he also knew that he couldn't ask any questions, so he simply put them all behind him. "Okay, then I'll wait and see, and I'll wait for Mr. Lu to send me a mountain of apricot flowers." Qingcheng Mountain is a royal temple with a high status, and the annual ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is held here.Empress Dowager Shen loved peach blossoms, so the late emperor ordered people to plant peach blossoms on Qingcheng Mountain at the beginning of its construction, just for the Bomei people to smile.Not to mention ordinary dignitaries in Beijing, even today's sage, I'm afraid he can't disregard the late emperor's kindness towards the empress dowager, and start with Qingcheng Mountain's peach blossoms.If this Mr. Lu can really turn peach blossoms into apricot blossoms, it would be hell.

"If that day really comes, what will Mr. Xu want?"

Xu Xilu asked back: "What does Lord Jiang Shen think? I pray to the gods, do I have to prepare offerings?"

Lu Xiangrong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "You and I might as well make an agreement. When Qingcheng Mountain is full of apricot blossoms, you and I will meet here again, and then I will ask Mr. Lu for the offering to fulfill the vow."

Xu Xilu said bluntly, "It's a deal."

The two talked for a while, and when Xu Xilu saw that it was about time, and it was time for Mrs. Xie to finish, she got up and said goodbye.Lu Xiangrong looked at the glass with not a single drop of wine in it, and said regretfully: "Mr. Xu really didn't touch a drop of wine today, and the fine wine didn't meet any beauties. It's a pity, a pity."

Xu Xilu smiled and said, "After all, Mr. Lu's beauty alone is enough."

When Xu Xilu returned to the front hall, Mrs. Xie had finished burning incense and was talking to the elders in the temple.Seeing him, Xie Qingxin asked curiously: "How about it, have you found out the details of Mr. Lu?"

Xu Xilu shook his head.Xie Qingxin said suspiciously: "Even you can't see anything, this person is not simple."

Shangjing was originally a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It is not surprising that you can meet many princes and nobles by chance when you just walk around the streets.

Xie finished speaking with the elder of Qingcheng Mountain, walked out of the front hall with Zhaohua's support, and said to the two: "It's almost time for us to return home."

Xie Qingshen said with a smile: "Auntie looks happy and walks briskly, but what can I ask for?"

Xie smiled faintly, "I just asked for a lottery for Qingsu, Zhaohua."

Zhaohua handed the autograph to Xie Qingshen, and Xie Qingshen opened it and read: "'Fortunately blessed by God, why do you need to work hard, the future should follow the path, and you will be promoted after a long time." This is the top autograph! Aunt, there are beads and Xie's Blessed by the ancestors, Qingsu will return safely, so don't worry too much."

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Qingsu's letters always report good news but not bad news. I'm worried that he has something to do, but he wants to hide it from us..."

Xu Xilu said: "Qingsu—"

"Mrs. Xie?"

A few people looked back, and saw a woman in full dress smiling and walking towards them, followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.Mrs. Xie greeted her hurriedly with a smile, and saluted the woman: "I have met Princess Yide before."

It turned out that this person was the late Emperor's sister, the present-day Holy Majesty's aunt, Princess Yide.Xu Xilu and Xie Qingshen also followed Xie's bow and saluted, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Although Princess Yide has a noble status, she is approachable and approachable. She has been in contact with the Xie family since she was a girl.She took Xie's hand and patted it, and said affectionately: "Hey, there are so many rules outside. We haven't seen each other for many years—who are these two?"

Mrs. Xie introduced with a smile: "They are my nephews and sons, and they specially accompanied me to Mount Qingcheng to offer incense today. The person next to you must be Miss Six of your family, right?"

"That's right." Princess Yide said to her daughter, "Chunjia, this is Mrs. Xie. When my mother was your age, she even went to her house for a drink."

"Mrs. Xie." Chun Jia greeted Mrs. Xie with a smile, and then her eyes fell on Xu Xilu, sizing him up without any trace.Seeing this, Xu Xilu also smiled at her.Chunjia blushed slightly, and hid behind her mother again.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Princess Yide saw her daughter's reaction in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie, your son is really well-born. I have never seen anyone more handsome than him in this palace."

Mrs. Xie said modestly: "Princess, I am very impressed. I see that your sixth girl is the most beautiful, and it is exactly the same as when you were young."

It was very comforting to hear these words, and Princess Yide smiled even more: "Among the children of this palace, Chunjia is like this palace, and this palace loves her the most. It's a pity that when she is old, I don't care about her." The palace can't keep her for a few years."

"Mother," Chunjia said with a blushing face, "I don't want to marry, I want to stay by your side."

These words made Eldest Princess Yide and Mrs. Xie laugh one after another, "Silly boy, how can there be a daughter who doesn't marry?"

After bidding farewell to Princess Yide and others, Mrs. Xie took them down the mountain.Xie Qingshen walked at the front quickly, and Xu Xilu chased after him, "Why are you walking so fast?"

Xie Qingshen said gloomily: "What fate do you think I am? Qingsu was still there before, as long as I went out with him, I would always be the one ignored. Now that he is gone, you are here again. I admit it, I am Xie Qingshen I may not be as good as you guys, but I can be regarded as a good-looking talent anyway, and I am very personable, why is there no girl who is giving me a sneak peek?"

Xu Xilu laughed and said, "No girl, do you want a man? If you want, I can give you a hundred glances every day."

Xie Qingxin scolded with a smile: "You can pull it down, who cares about you!"

Mrs. Xie walked behind, looked at the two talking and laughing, and showed a gratified smile.
