Chapter 11: Chance Encounters
Three days is a short time, but in Gao Xun's opinion, it is extremely long and difficult, and it feels like a year.
On the first day, Gao Xun still got up early in the morning to practice his sword, and then walked around the mansion. Absentmindedly teasing birds, flowers, and fish, it can be regarded as surviving a boring day.
On the second day, Ye Xiuying saw that the prince was so listless in the house, and dragged Gao Xun onto the street.
The streets of Kyoto are still bustling with people. Ye Xiuying followed Gao Xun and shook her head secretly as she wandered aimlessly. Yesterday, Gao inquired about her own affairs in the mountains, and was shocked to learn that her identity was discovered by others. But the prince didn't care about this. Hey, I don't know what kind of character that white girl is, who fascinates the person in front of her so much.
Along the way, I casually crossed a few streets and turned a few alleys. When Gao Xun came back to his senses, he found that he involuntarily walked to the familiar courtyard gate.
The door in front of her was closed, and I wonder if she was still in the house at this time. What are you doing?
Gao Xun thought of Bai Sang again. Seeing each other a few times, being accompanied for a few days, how could they steal their hearts so lightly? Speaking of which, Bai Sang is indeed a peerless beauty with ice muscles and jade bones, but when it comes to beauties, Gao Xun has seen a lot in the palace since he was a child. Enchanting, bright, and all kinds of people take the initiative to give themselves a hug.
Xu is fascinated by her elegant and indifferent temperament. Just like the orchid that blooms in the deep valley, it will not be desecrated by this earthly world, quiet but has a dark fragrance of its own, so that those who have admired it can't help but be deeply infatuated. Xu is her too forbearant temperament that makes her feel distressed. At all times, he always hides his feelings deep in his eyes and buries them in his heart.
didn't want to see her so habitually hiding all her sadness and bearing it alone, which also made Gao Xun want to peek into that person's heart even more, and wanted to know how breathtaking that cold face was if she laughed heartily.
As for his identity, Gao Xun is not worried. Yu Li, if he told others his identity, it would not be of any benefit to Bai Sang. Moreover, it is difficult to set off any big waves with just one person's words. In the situation, Gao Xun always believed that Bai Sang was not the kind of person who would leak other people's secrets.
"If you want to go in, knock on the door." Ye Xiuying looked at the person in front of her standing in front of the door for a long time, hesitated like this, and reminded loudly.
Gao Xun shook his head. After three days, how can I break my word? He turned around and sighed, and said, "Let's go home." ”
On the third day, Gao Xun had not made any moves, but Sima Xuan came to the door.
"Brother Qian, we haven't been out for a long time, so you will accompany me today." As soon as Sima Xuan entered the door, she had been pestering Gao Xun, and at this time she was holding her arm in the garden and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, you let go of this king's hand." Gao Xunban grimaced, tried to pull his arm out, and turned to walk towards the main hall.
"Then you promise me." Sima Xuan pouted and followed Gao Xun unremittingly.
Hey, it's just that it's very annoying to be pestered like this by Sima Xuan in the mansion. So Gao Xun opened his mouth and said to Sima Xuan: "This king promised to accompany you for a while, and then send you back to the house, okay?" ”
Sima Xuan nodded again and again, took Gao Xun's hand and hurriedly went out. Fortunately, Gao Xun didn't forget to call Ye Xiuying in the mansion to follow her, otherwise she would not be able to resist the eldest lady of the General's Mansion alone.
The street was crowded with people, and Gao Xun and the other three were stopped in front of a vendor. Sima Xuan bought a lot of things along the way, and he still insisted on eating the dragon beard candy in front of him. They had to wait in front of the stall for the vendor to finish. This dragon beard candy looks interesting, Gao Xun has never eaten it, but she is not interested at the moment. Shaking his head and turning around, he seemed to see a white figure in a trance.
Gao Xun's expression suddenly lit up, and he looked forward fixedly, and there were indeed two figures, one green and one white, not far away. The back of the graceful figure in a white dress looks like the person in my heart
Gao Xun was overjoyed in his heart, strode forward and brushed the shoulder of the woman in white and said, "White-"
"Childe?" The woman turned around, only to see an unfamiliar face, looking at her suspiciously.
Gao Xun was suddenly embarrassed. silently withdrew his hand and pulled a stiff smile: "Ha-Ben, Ben Gongzi admits his mistake." Sorry girl. After saying that, he turned around and left hurriedly.
However, the two women who were mistakenly recognized were still standing in place, and the one in the green dress reacted for a while that he recognized that Fang Cai's son was His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and looked forward in surprise and joy, but he couldn't find Gao Xun's figure for a long time.
Before and after Gao Xun returned to the stall, he saw that Sima Xuan also happened to buy candy. The trouble just now made Gao Xun disappointed and embarrassed. I was not interested in going any further, and said with a calm face: "Sima Xuan, I think you have walked around enough, let's find a place to rest." ”
"Good!" Sima Xuan happened to be tired of shopping, so she answered happily.
"There is a restaurant called 'Pinxiang Pavilion' in front, I think the prince should like it." Ye Xiuying on the side listened to the recommendation.
"Oh? Ah Ying came to Kyoto with this king not long ago, how did he know so clearly? On the way, Gao Xun asked knowingly.
Ye Xiuying knew that Gao Xun was making fun of herself, and she was speechless with a rare embarrassed face.
"Sister Ah Ying often goes out with my eldest brother, of course it's clear." On the other side, Sima Xuan didn't notice it, and hurriedly helped her answer, but Ye Xiuying was even more embarrassed.
"Sima Jing is really a good man." Gao Xun smiled, obviously saying it to Ye Xiuying on the side.
Ye Xiuying nodded when she heard this, knowing what her prince meant.
After a while, the three of them walked to the place Ye Xiuying said. The restaurant in front of it is exquisitely decorated, and most of the people who come and go are brightly dressed and wearing gold and silver. The first floor is also full of diners, noisy and fragrant.
As soon as Gao Xun and the others entered the door, the little maid inside greeted them. Seeing that the young lady in front of her had an extraordinary temperament, she was either rich or expensive, and asked them if they wanted to go to the private room on the second floor for dinner.
"Well, let's go to the second floor." Gao Xun looked at the seats on the side and nodded.
Compared with the noise downstairs, the private room on the second floor is much quieter. Most of the people sitting here were high-ranking officials and aristocrats, drinking a few pots of good wine or drinking a few cups of good tea, and talking in low voices. In the meantime, there is also a low sound of the piano accompanied by the side, which is very elegant.
The little guy led them all the way to a spot by the window. Passing by a table, Gao Xun suddenly stopped and saw a white figure sitting with his back to him.
Could it be that such a familiar back is that I am wrong again?
Gao Xun didn't dare to rush forward this time. Ye Xiuying saw Gao Xun stop inexplicably, and looked at her suspiciously, and saw the person sitting in their direction.
"Isn't this His Royal Highness King Yan?"
Gao Xun only looked at the back, and after Ye Xiuying's reminder, he found that opposite the person was his eldest brother, Gao Yan. And Gao Yan was listening to the movement at the moment, and he happened to raise his head to look over here, and saw Gao Xun, Sima Xuan, and Ye Xiuying not far away.
In this case, I must have to go over to say hello. Gao Xun had no choice but to walk over with the two people behind him and come to Gao Yan's table.
Gao Yan also stood up, took a step forward with a smile, and said, "What a coincidence, the emperor's brother is also here to eat?" ”
"It's Areads; Today, I came out to wander around, and when I saw this restaurant, I came in. Gao Xun nodded and replied. Ye Xiuying, who was beside her, also saluted Gao Yan.
"Haha, this restaurant is famous in Kyoto, and the emperor is really in the right place." As he spoke, he turned his head and saw Sima Xuan, and said, "This is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, right?" It's as bright and moving as the rumors. ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Sima Xuan somehow didn't like it when she saw His Royal Highness King Yan in front of her for the first time. In her heart, she didn't like this kind of weak scholar Wang Ye, and she had always had love and hate written on her face, and she only pouted and replied lukewarmly when she heard it.
Seeing this, Gao Yan still smiled kindly and said, "That's right." This is the doctor in my house, the white girl. She was the one who bandaged the wounds of the imperial brother that day, I wonder if the imperial brother still remembers? ”
Saying that, the woman in white in front of him saluted Gao Xun and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”
"The white girl is so out of the world, this king is unforgettable at first sight." When Gao Xun came over, he saw this person's appearance clearly, and he was surprised, nodded, stared at Bai Sang and said unabashedly.
Bai Sang in front of him lowered his head and was silent, unable to see the expression on her face clearly. However, Sima Xuan recognized that this white girl was the woman who often sat on Gao Xun's horse, and at this moment, when she heard Gao Xun's words, she twisted her head angrily and "hummed" softly.
Gao Yan smiled heartily: "Haha." I didn't expect the royal brother to be so interested in Miss Bai. However, the white girl is indeed very clever in medical skills, and this king is here today to discuss with her the recent situation of Yu Yan's body. ”
As if he knew the doubts in Gao Xun's heart, Gao Yan took the initiative to say why he and Bai Sang were here.
It is indeed strange for a prince and a female doctor to dine alone in this place. But Gao Xun saw that Gao Yan's expression was natural, and it didn't look like he was lying. Hearing this, he had to put his mind at ease, since the two of them were talking about things, he really had no reason to bother anymore. glanced at Bai Sang, who had never looked at him, and said to Gao Yan: "Since the imperial brother has something important, this king will not bother you." ”
Gao Yan nodded, said goodbye to Gao Xun with a smile, and watched the three of them go to the other side.
After finishing the meal, Gao Xun and Ye Xiuying sent Sima Xuan back to the general's mansion. Sima Xuan was not as noisy as usual along the way, but was a little quiet, as if she was not in a good mood. Gao Xun didn't pay much attention to it.
"Brother Qian, do you really like that white girl?" Before being sent to the gate of the General's Mansion, Sima Xuan finally couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Seriously." Gao Xun didn't expect Sima Xuan to ask himself like this, but he also replied very seriously.
"Hmph, what's so good about her, she's still a person from the Yan Wangye's mansion. Look at the appearance of eating together today, it must be not clear with the Yan prince. Maybe" Sima Xuan became anxious when she heard this, so she said what she thought in her heart.
"Sima Xuan! Whether she's good or not, whether she's innocent or not, can't be said by you! Gao Xun interrupted Sima Xuan viciously, looked at her and said.
Although Gao Xun usually doesn't like to take care of himself, when did he speak to himself in such a tone. Sima Xuan jumped sadly, but was too frightened to say anything, turned around and ran into the door.
Gao Xun and Ye Xiuying also returned home. The road slowly calmed down, thinking that Fang Cai was indeed too excited, but hearing someone insult Bai Sang like this, he naturally couldn't bear it. Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, tomorrow, he can finally go to the man.
