Ruan Ge paced towards the Bihe Pond.

From a distance, I saw that under the moonlight, there was a shimmering water, and the mist was hazy, and I couldn't see it very clearly.

When I came to the pool, I found that the pool was full of lotus flowers. It's just that late autumn has arrived, and the pond is full of bellflower leaves, which is desolate.

Looking up, there is also a white marble stone platform in the pool, and there are figures shaking on the stone platform, and it is not very clear to see.

Ruan Ge had always been bold, and she slowly approached the stone platform.

Getting closer and closer, I found a white figure practicing swords on the stage. The cold light of the sword body flickered, only the sound of the autumn wind was heard, the silver light flickered, and the figure was cut into countless pieces, and then reassembled, Ruan Ge was stunned for a while.

The man had already sensed Ruan Ge, and as soon as he turned around in the air, the long sword pointed directly at Ruan Ge's throat, only half an inch away, and he stopped the sword momentum steadily.

Ruan Ge didn't have time to react at all, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

After waiting for a long time, there was no expected pain. When she opened her eyes, the man in white was still pointing his sword at her, just looking at her motionlessly.

"I, I said Lord, don't be so sudden and scary, okay? Small, small guts are too small. Ruan Ge cautiously bypassed the tip of the sword and quickly dodged to the side.

"You don't even remember what I said." Zhong Yan said coldly, "Which sentence are you referring to?" Ruan Ge said.

"Don't just come out in the middle of the night." Zhong Yan slowly lowered his sword and poured a sip of wine on his head. Ruan Ge saw that he was holding a copper wine jug in his other hand.

"Didn't you come out in the middle of the night?" Ruan Ge rolled his eyes.

Zhong Yan did not speak, but walked to the steps of the stone platform and slowly sat down. Raised the flask and took another sip.

The moonlight gilded him, reflecting a soft halo. The hair was a little messy by the night wind, covering one eye, revealing half of his handsome face. The eyes were no longer cold and unfathomable, but unbelievably hazy and clear.

Ruan Ge had never seen Zhong Yan in such a state, and there was actually a faint pain in his heart.

'Ahem, ahem' may be the reason for drinking, Zhong Yan coughed violently. Ruan Ge hurriedly walked over and patted him on the back. When he recovered, he stopped.

Zhong Yan seemed not used to someone getting too close to him, and pushed Ruan Ge's hand away. Turning his head to the lake, he suddenly said: "The pond is full of residual lotuses, it is better not to look at it." ”

Ruan Ge stood up and faced the lotus pond: "I don't think so, sometimes you have to know how to appreciate such a view." Broken is its beauty, like a pool far better than color, far better than incense, through the bitter wind and rain of the swan song. It is a kind of poignancy, a poignancy full of confidence and arrogance hidden in those broken and withered, but also an unyielding silence. ”

Zhong Yan listened, looking at Ruan Ge's slender and delicate but upright figure, and the light in his eyes loomed.

"Quite innovative." Zhong Yan said.

"It's not new, it's just that everyone's mentality is different." After saying that, she approached the railing of the stone platform and reached for a broken lotus canopy that was closer to her.

She barely reached it, turned around, but didn't want to slip under her feet, and poured straight into the pool behind her.

Before the 'ah' sound could be spoken, a strong big hand grabbed her, and with all her strength, her waist was firmly gripped.

Under the influence of alcohol, Zhong Yan's eyes looked at her in confusion. His lips were close to hers, and a slight smell of alcohol penetrated into her nostrils, causing ripples in her heart, and her cheeks instantly rose into two clusters of redness, which became more and more charming in the moonlight.

In this situation, Zhong remembered the scene of kissing Ruan Ge in the thatched hut in the woods, and his eyes became obsessed for a moment, and he involuntarily leaned over. At the moment when the lips touched, a broken lotus pod suddenly appeared between the lips.

Ruan Ge held the lotus pod and laughed dryly: "Thanks to you for saving me again, how can you repay you when you say I owe you so much favor?" Let me go back to sleep and think about it. Besides, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, so you should have a good rest. ”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, and when he was halfway there, he remembered something, and turned back again.

Peel off the withered lotus canopy in your hand and pull out a few ripe lotus seeds.

grabbed Zhong Yan's hand, put it in the palm of his hand and said, "Don't dislike it for being broken, there are only these lotus seeds that can bloom in this full pond." ”

Then he blinked his eyes wide, smiled at him widely, and trotted away.

Zhong Yan slowly looked at the few lotus seeds in the palm of his hand, this woman made it more and more difficult for him to control himself, her every word and every action actually made her eyes follow her, which was not a good sign.

His heart could not be tied up by anyone, and he had never trusted anyone, let alone a woman of unknown origin. Suddenly, he closed his palm tightly, and his blurry eyes had already returned to clarity.

Looking at the figure of the two people leaving one after another on the stone platform, Yun Luo slowly turned out from behind a big tree.

The scene of the two embracing each other just now, she saw it clearly. A resentment rose in her heart, and her fist slowly tightened, as if it was going to crush someone alive.

The next day came the day of the palace feast. The palace sent a car early to pick up Zhong Yan.

Ruan Ge, Ziyue, Yun Luo, and Luo Chuan all followed closely, and Uncle Qin stayed in the palace.

When I stepped out of the palace, I saw a pair of ultra-luxurious honor guards parked at the door.

Eight dragon pattern canopies, two colorful birds and flower pattern canopies, eight double dragon red fans, four pattern longevity fans, colorful and gorgeous. A ten-person sedan chair with a golden silk plate flower dragon and phoenix Ruyi pendant at the four corners of the sedan chair stopped steadily in the right. The person who came to greet him was still Gonggong Zhou, who was next to Emperor Jiaxuan.

According to Uncle Qin later, this is a quarter of the emperor's travel guard of honor, and this banquet is not a very formal state ceremony, so it can be used such a guard of honor, which shows that Emperor Jiaxuan has a special love for Zhong Yan, who has not returned to the dynasty for a long time, that is, the second prince Ning Mingyu.

Today, Zhong Yan wore a formal dress, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and arrogant, and his dark color sprinkled with gold four-clawed python robe set off a graceful and luxurious but cold and solemn nobility. The cold and indifferent immortal aura on his body before was almost completely covered.

Ruan Ge watched Zhong Yan sit firmly in the sedan chair, but still didn't dare to look up at him, for fear that he couldn't suppress the wild beat in his heart. Since she ran back to her room last night, her heart has not been at peace.

Zhong Yan's shadow kept dangling in front of her eyes, and she tried to contain it, but her heart couldn't help but think of him. His cold, indifferent, deep eyes, elusive heart, and wine-scented lips...... Thinking of this, Ruan Ge realized that he didn't know when he had put this man in his heart.

If it is really God's arrangement, let yourself yujian him, and you also have feelings for him. She wanted to try to forget the past, if it really could, if everything was as good as it seemed.

"Ge'er, let's go, my face is as red as a pomegranate when I think about something." Ziyue touched her shoulder hard, Ruan Ge came back to her senses, and seeing that the honor guard of the brigade had moved slowly, she covered her hot face in embarrassment and trotted to keep up with the team.
