Chapter 20 The Tea Room

Liu Yanqing only cared about himself and talked endlessly, but he didn't notice that there was a figure flashing under the stairs, this was a cold figure, a strong and slender figure.

Yuanfu noticed it, just glanced at the stairs with a chuckle, and then said as if it was nothing: "Concubine Rin's words should not be said in front of outsiders, so as not to fall into the trap." ”

Liuyanqing snorted lightly: "Anyway, there won't be a good day here, anyway, what does it matter if someone has already framed you?" ”

"Is Niang Niang talking about the Gu Cup?" Yuanfu smiled and scooped out the ball-like Gu cup from his long sleeves, and then sighed: "Then let's talk about the reason for coming here today, don't delay the business." ”

Yuanfu twisted the Gu Cup slightly, and after a while, the ball was split into two halves. Both hemispheres had dried blood stains inside, and several slender red bugs writhed in them, emitting a foul smell.

Liuyanqing almost spit it out, and quickly stepped aside to signal Yuanfu to throw it away, "Don't look at me like this, I'm the most disgusting and slippery thing." ”

Only then did Yuanfu take out a small bottle of potion and pour it all into the Gu Cup, and after a while, he saw that these insects were smoking, and then turned into blood.

"Do these really want to play Gu?" Liuyanqing said in horror, feeling panicked as soon as he thought that such a disgusting thing would burrow into his body.

Yuanfu nodded, and then said seriously: "Does Niangniang know who is trying to frame you?" ”

Liu Yanqing pondered for a while, and then shook his head: "There are many people here who want to frame me, but it is the first one who is so bold, I only saw in the dark that the person who put this Gu Cup was a woman wearing a night clothes, and judging from her steps and movements, this person must have also learned martial arts, otherwise it would not be possible for her steps to be so light." ”

Yuanfu nodded thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more.

"Now, then, it's time to take your leave." Yuanfu was ready to get up and leave.

"Mr. Yuanfu!" "Why are you telling me this today? And help me with the Gu Cup? ”

Yuanfu winked at her mischievously: "I just want you to know the truth, remember what happened before you fell down the stairs?" I probably think you've forgotten about the past, whether you remember it or not, I just want you to know, and the three of us have ......."

We? Who is it referring to? Is it Kong Mingye, Yuanfu and the Four Princes?

Yuanfu wanted to speak and stopped, and after seeing Liuyanqing's brows tightly locked, he didn't understand at all, he smiled heartily, and then jumped off the pavilion, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What a strange person, saying something inexplicable." Liuyanqing muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of Yuanfu's departure.

Liuyanqing unconsciously looked at the mountains and mountains in the distance, but what he thought about was what Yuanfu had just said, and the scene of Kongmingye and Yuanfu's childhood suddenly appeared in front of him, of course, it was just imagination.

"You sissy who is neither male nor female, don't play with us, get out of here!" A group of gorgeously dressed boys said proudly as they pushed each other to the ground.

A boy with a delicate face choked up, "But the kite is mine." ”

"It's not yours from now on."

The round husband with a girl's face was bullied by the other princes, and was sitting on the ground crying, when a handsome boy ran quickly on the other side, his dark eyes shining like stars in the night sky, holding a slingshot in his hand, aiming at the proud princes.

"Hurry up and give him back the kite! Be careful that Prince Ben makes you all have blue noses and swollen faces! ”

……

Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing suddenly laughed, although it was his own imagination, but this was in line with the temperament of Kong Mingye.

The sky was still gray, and the maids under the pavilion were running around in a panic, probably afraid of sudden rain so they had to prepare their things.

At this time, the little owl led the maids up, and the little owl scooped the cloak and carefully draped it for Liuyanqing, which brought back Liuyanqing's thoughts.

"Niangniang, it's cold outside, let's go into the house and rest." The little owl said.

Liuyanqing nodded, and really felt a little cold.

"Little Owl, how is the tea set I asked you to make according to the drawings last time?" Liu Yanqing said as he walked.

"Back to Niangniang, the tea set has been brought by someone just now, and it is in the tea room, is Niangniang going to taste tea today?"

Liuyanqing said happily: "That's natural, I don't know how the masters did the drawings I drew this time, if the concubine is satisfied, then they all have a heavy reward." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "That lady must have to reward them this time." ”

 

Through the long corridor, there is a row of perfectly built houses, each surrounded by some opitous plants, one of which has the words 'study' on the top, and the other 'tea room', but in this row of houses is surrounded by a fence, and in front of the fence there are two soldiers guarding each other.

Probably this is a place where even ordinary maidservants are not allowed to come casually, and from a distance, I saw a maid with a basket in her hand and tried to enter, but was blocked by two soldiers outside the door.

"Girl, what are you going to do?" A guard with no expression on his face said.

The maidservant pointed to the basket and said, "The above tells you to come down, and Concubine Rin will enter the tea room later, and I will go in and clean up now." ”

Seeing this, the other guard took the maid's basket, examined it carefully, and let her in when he felt that the maid was not lying.

"I didn't expect to be so cautious in the Night King's Palace." Liuyan sighed.

Xiao Yu explained: "There are also many rules in the Night King's Mansion, and this place belongs to the official business of His Royal Highness the Night King, and outsiders must not disturb it casually. ”

"Then since it is the Night King's private place, I can't disturb one of my harem concubines." Liuyanqing said and stopped.

Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said: "Niangniang, you are already a person approved by His Royal Highness the Night King, you can walk around at will in this Night King's Palace, and this place should also be allowed." And last time in the Thorn Orchid Palace, the Night King seemed to like Niangniang's tea-making skills. ”

Liuyanqing felt that something was wrong after thinking about it, and shook his head: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to drink tea in this tearoom, let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future." ”

Just as he turned his head to leave, there was a sudden sound of running from behind him, and after a while, he stopped in front of the flowing smoke.

"Is it a female officer Min Lu?" The little owl was curious, "What do you want to say?" ”

The female official Min Lu hurriedly saluted Liuyanqing, and then said flatteringly: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the Night King is waiting for you in the tea room, I don't know if Niangniang has time now." ”

"How did the Night King know that Concubine Ben was going to the tearoom?" Liuyanqing said curiously.

"Hui Niangniang, this is probably because the tea set that the little bird girl scooped back from the firing pavilion was seen by the Night King, so ......"

Hearing this, Liuyanqing looked at the little owl angrily, it turned out that this little girl provoked it, if she didn't report it to the Night King, she wouldn't be greedy for this kind of thing.

Liu Yanqing said, "How long has the Night King been in the tearoom?" ”

Min Lu thought for a while and replied, "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid only saw the Night King come to the tea room after coming down from the main hall, and never came out. ”

"What do you say? Was the Night King on the main hall before? The smoke was shocked, only he and Yuanfu were the only ones who were above the main hall just now, and when did the sky appear there at night? Aren't the soldiers training in the backyard?

Min Lu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "Yes." ”

Liuyanqing waved his hand: "Concubine Ben understands, you go down first." ”

Min Lu thought that the news she came to announce would make Liu Yanqing feel excited, but she didn't expect that Liu Yanqing was in a contemplative state, not because the Night King was going to see her, but because she was a little more sad, which made Min Lu feel a little puzzled, but more because the female officer Min Lu wanted to regain Liu Yanqing's impression of herself.

And seeing that a little nameless little owl can be trusted by the concubine so much, he has been busy for half his life, but he is still a female official who makes the concubines look at him coldly, saying that he is in charge of all the maids in the palace of the Night King, but if the other maidservants who are lower than his status are favored by the concubines and led to serve by his side, that attitude does not put others in his eyes, and he doesn't even put himself in the eyes of the female official, thinking about it is really infuriating, Min Lu unconsciously glared at the little owl fiercely when he thought about it, But Xiao Yu didn't notice the change in Min Lu's eyes, but was pleased with Min Lu's existing changes, and smiled at her kindly.

The two guards not far away saw Liuyanqing coming this way, so they respectfully saluted Liuyanqing, and only after Liuyanqing went in did they continue to stand guard like before.

A secluded cobblestone path zigzags into the distance to the tea room blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, the windows of the tea room are open, and the door is also hidden, so that you can ask for the smell of tea in the tea room from a distance.

The little owl probably thought that this was the place where the Night King and Concubine Rin rested here, and it was not easy for outsiders to disturb him, so he quietly retreated. Liuyanqing was about to stop the little bird after finding out, but he didn't want this little girl to have slipped out.

'Squeak~ya~' There was a sound of pushing the door in the quiet tea room, echoing in the room, which seemed a little noisy, but there was no sound in the room to respond.

This is a spacious and bright tea room, in the center of the spread of a carpet with patterns, leaning on the innermost is a huge bench, in the center of the bench is also placed a small tea table, the tea table is placed black and white chess pieces that have been arranged, probably the chess player has no intention of continuing, so he casually left the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard and ignored it.

Probably the empty night wandered elsewhere, Liuyan thought to himself.

The tea room is divided into three compartments, all separated by bright grass-colored curtains, one of which is pulled up, and you can vaguely see the tea table and tea set neatly placed in this compartment, and there is a charcoal stove in one corner, probably the maid who serves this tea room is very careful, and there is a bouquet of fresh flowers on the cabinet, which suddenly seems to be full of life.
