Chapter 81: Water Cloud Pavilion
The winter moon has arrived, but Xuanyang City is a prosperous and lively scene, here is not as far north as Shengge, even in winter, it is not cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially the market at the beginning of January, just at this time and close to the end of the year, so the street is bustling, pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another, shouting and shouting endlessly, so lively.
The lively scene in the Shuiyun Pavilion is not much worse than that in the street market outside, it is still a place where flowers are red and willow green, and warblers are singing, but in a compartment on the second floor, it is too quiet. There was only one piano by the window, and a quiet and elegant woman sat silently, her ten fingers caressing the strings, and the long and pure rhythm flowed out naturally, as slow as spring water, but not without losing its activity.
Most of the girls here are skilled, no one has no less than two or three musical instruments and dance postures, and each is gentle and quiet, all have poems and books in their abdomen, and their manners are different from other Qinglou.
And this Shui Xin is probably the most outstanding one in the entire Shuiyun Pavilion, she is beautiful, graceful, and her temperament is also endearing, just like the tea on the table, not strong or light, but after drinking, her mouth is fragrant. That's why many celebrities want to spend time with her, as long as you don't say much, she doesn't talk much, but the silence doesn't bring the slightest discomfort or boredom.
Behind the table on the other side, there sat a heroic man, his eyes slightly closed, his expression was calm, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, I don't know if he was meditating on something or listening to this wonderful news. Fingers tapped lightly on the legs, accompaniing the rhythm of the tune.
The song is like a stream, flowing far down from the top of a green mountain, with the freshness of the rain, sometimes soothing, sometimes eager, melodious, and difficult to understand without listening carefully. Like a jade falling, and like a fish playing with lotus, this good song can only be described as wonderful when it flows out of the hands of Shui Xin.
But suddenly an abrupt sound of the door opening interrupted this wonderful enjoyment. Qi Yu didn't rush to open his eyes, but still maintained his original posture and expression, and his fingers didn't stop knocking down, as if he hadn't come out of the rhythm yet.
It's just that the woman behind the piano suddenly stopped, withdrew her hands, raised her eyes to look at the door in front of her, and after her eyes met the person at the door, she slowly drooped down again, her face was still indifferent, but her body had already stood up.
"Sister Hua Ning."
I saw that the woman at the door was dressed in begonia red, and her appearance was even more glamorous, as if she was a person who came out of the painting, but she didn't look like a woman in the world, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy. She is sleek and independent, the makeup at the corners of her eyes is extraordinarily charming, and the indifference of her expression can't hide the charm of her whole body.
"You go out first, I have something to say to Gongzi Chen." Her tone was neither slow nor slow.
After a moment of silence, Qi Yu opened his eyes, looked at Hua Ning who walked in, and smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, "It's not too late." ”
Hua Ning sneered, her gaze swept over him, and she sat down opposite him.
"Shui Xin is also your person, why do you have to be so indifferent every time you see her?" Qi Yu asked her with a smile.
"What, you're distressed?"
Qi Yu chuckled lightly and said, "The heroes of the world love beauties, and I, Qi Mou, am also a character, so I always have to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, right?" Besides, you and Shuixin have their own strengths, Shuixin is good at music and rhythm, and you are good at dancing and rhyme...... By the way, your Qiao Wu, last time I was seen by Ye Ying, I praised it again and again. ”
Hua Ning's face was not half gloomy, but with a smile in the corner of her eyes, she still stared at him, and said unhurriedly: "What did you call me for?" You must know that I am walking on thin ice in the palace, and if it weren't for the name of buying medicinal herbs for Mei Yuesi, I wouldn't have been able to get out so easily. ”
"What, has Mei Yueji had something to do lately?"
Hua Ning shook her head slightly, and her face was smeared with a faint layer of gloom, "The king doesn't trust me more and more, he has arranged a lot of eyeliner in Mei Yuesi, and recently I always feel that my words and deeds are being watched by others." Why, you say? I've been here in Liangyu for three years, and in the past three years, Mei Yuesi has done no less than dozens of things for him, why is he still suspicious of me? ”
When Qi Yu heard this, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said slowly: "It seems that it has something to do with this matter." ”
"Which thing?"
"Do you know that Liangyu's border has not been very peaceful recently?"
"Not too peaceful?" Hua Ning's eyebrows frowned slightly, "You mean ......?"
"Westside."
Hua Ning was slightly stunned, and immediately calmed down again, her eyebrows stretched, but she was replaced by a pleasant one, staring at Qi Yu lightly, and said with a smile: "I see." ”
Seeing her laughing, Qi Yu chuckled himself: "Heh, you can still laugh?" You are from Qiaojiang, and you are in the palace, so it's okay if the king doesn't expel you. ”
"The king has a place where he needs to use me, so he naturally refuses to let me go." Her tone slowed, "I'm leaving, who will settle those people for your king who he can't get used to and can't get rid of?" ”
Qi Yu smiled lightly, raised his wine glass and raised his head to drink.
"Since you brought me from Qiao Jiang three years ago, your king has been inseparable from Mei Yuesi. Everyone in the world knows that in terms of the art of poison Gu alchemy, no one in the five countries can compare to us. And your king is 'thirsty for talent', and he does not hesitate to spend all the trouble to send you to Qiaojiang to bring me, how dare he let me disappear? ”
Hua Ning said in a paragraph, and her feminine words and her beautiful face added a sense of certainty to these words.
Qi Yu always had a smile on his face, the slight drunkenness of the wine made his eyes blurry, he raised his right hand, lightly scratched Hua Ning's face, and muttered: "It's a pity, it's a pity, you are such a beauty, why does the king never ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Ning slapped his arm with a palm and said coldly: "What do you want the king?" Qi Yu, don't forget, what is the reason why I agreed to come with you in the first place, don't pretend to be confused for me in the blink of an eye. With that, she stood up, turned around and walked to the window, looking at the market outside, "I'm staying well in my Qiao Jiang, my Shuiyun Pavilion, my master, are all there." It's you, it's because of you that I'm here. Master is dead, and the people from the Water Cloud Pavilion have reluctantly brought it, you-"
"I'm just saying, why are you so angry?" I don't know when, Qi Yu has already stood behind him, "Your master is dead, won't you also arrange for someone to be buried in the past?" You Shuiyun Pavilion, now there is probably no place in the capital that can compare to here, why are you not satisfied? ”
After a while, the gloom on Hua Ning's face all went down, and it became charming again, and said: "The king wants to use me and be wary of me, and his mind is all spent on this, so why covet it?" What's more, I don't look at how old he is, I and his princes and princesses are still about the same age. ”
"Well......" Qi Yu shook his head, "You must know that people's hearts are not ancient, and men in the world have always had no distinction between years and beauty for themselves, and they have never been satisfied, not to mention, it is the family of the emperor?" ”
Qi Yu's voice seemed to be rarely serious, and his face was slightly red, not knowing whether he was drunk or awake. Hua Ning has always been familiar with Qi Yu even if he is drunk, he can be as if he is sober, and he can pretend to be slightly drunk between soberness, and switch between false and real freely, so some of his words, Hua Ning really doesn't know whether to go to his heart.
But his words were still full of temptation, and his tone was sincere, which made her heart ripple like ripples, and the indifference all day long was no match for the warmth here. Her tone was much softer, and she said, "You just said that there is turmoil in the western border, what is it? ”
"What else can it be, Qiao soldiers are coming, King Qiao Jiang will tear up the alliance he signed with Liang Yu at the beginning, just for the sake of those cities at the border. Now that disputes continue to breed, in my opinion, the war is coming soon, and I am afraid that I will have to leave Xuanyang for a while. ”
Hua Ning was stunned, her heart couldn't help but pinch up, turned her head to look at him, and said, "So, you and your father are going on an expedition again?" ”
Qi Yu looked out the window, just glanced at her face, and immediately took it back, looked out the window again, and nodded.
Seeing his slightly sad look, Hua Ning couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Although I am from Qiaojiang, but now in my heart, your life and death are the most important thing." If one day a war is inevitable, you must ......"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Qi Yu smile lightly and asked her, "Are you really not worried about your home country?" ”
"I said, I only care about your life and death."
Qi Yu's gaze fell on her face, "You must know that on the battlefield, it is either you or me, life or death, I should try my best to fight and serve the country." If in the end, Qiao Jiang suffered a loss and had to give up the city, your mouth was still so sweet...... Even if I'm not mistaken. ”
Hua Ning sneered: "So, I'm still not sure if I was wrong?" ”
Qi Yu laughed and said, "You are such a stunner, if it falls into my hands, my blessing is afraid that no one can compare." ”
After hearing this, Hua Ning smiled faintly, her face rose a delicate flower, and she leaned to the left, wanting to lean against him. I didn't want to, but Qi Yu keenly stretched out his hand to stop her, and gently pushed her back, with the smile on his face that could not be blown by the wind, stared at her and said, "Miss Huaning, you stand firm, it's windy here." ”
Hua Ning's face changed, and she was about to have a seizure, but she remembered a voice at the door: "Childe, Childe, are you inside?" ”
Qi Yu turned around and said to the door, "I'm here, come in." ”
The door was pushed open, and a person dressed as a manservant walked in, who was a member of the General's Mansion, ran to Qi Yu and said, "Childe, go back quickly, someone is coming from the mansion." ”
"Someone's coming, who is it?"
"It's the two people who came to the house a year ago, but this time it seems that there is another girl."
Qi Yu frowned and thought about it, immediately understood, changed his expression, and said happily: "I know, you go back, I will go back to the house immediately." By the way, my father has come back from the palace? ”
"Not yet, but I guess I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I see, you go down."
After the manservant left, Hua Ning's face turned blue and asked coldly, "Are you going back?" I'm finally going to get out of the palace......"
Qi Yu turned around, with a smile on his face, put his hands on Hua Ning's shoulders, and said softly, "What's so difficult about this?" Next time, I will go directly to the palace to see you, and I will save you...... Running back and forth in a delicate body. You know, my heart is all on you, why are you anxious? ”
Hua Ning still looked displeased, her eyes were condensed by anger, she glanced at him coldly, and was about to turn around and leave, but when she just took a step, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, looked directly at Qi Yu, and said nothing.
Qi Yu's expression, which was just about to fall into deep thought, was suddenly disturbed by this sudden turn, and he regained his smile and asked, "What?" ”
"Who are the two people he just said?"
