13. Serendipitous encounters
At that time, Yin Lijiao, who was finally released by the "strict teacher" Shen Yayan, ushered in the reprimand of Yin's father when she entered the gate of Yin's house.
"You are getting more and more capable now, and you don't care about throwing Master Li. Hum! Go to Miss Shen to teach you how to learn calligraphy? I'd like to see if you're really learning to read or ......."
She interrupted him with a yawn. "Dad, if I hadn't learned calligraphy, I would have been a puppy. You know, Yayan is much stricter than Uncle Li. Slightly confused, she handed over a few pieces of paper in her hand. Oh, the crossover. Then she yawned several more times.
You must know that Shen Yayan is really the most qualified good friend, for her good, Shen Yayan, a girl with a soft temperament, turned into an extermination master. Good...... Stern. It was only when she was trapped in this virtue that she was willing to let go. Now she has improved a lot, but she is also sleepy and tired, and has become a dog.
Should she complain? Or should I be complacent?
Father Yin looked at the black and white words in his hand, and his face was suspicious. "You really wrote this?"
"If Dad doesn't believe me, I can ask Yayan tomorrow!" Speaking of tomorrow, she couldn't help but hold her forehead. "Alas...... Yayan was too harsh and ordered me to come back tomorrow. Don't say anything, Dad, I'll go to bed. She yawned again and walked past Yin's father towards her boudoir.
Father Yin didn't say anything more, probably believing her words. He nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Miss Shen still had a way.
Yin Lijiao, who entered the room, was about to take off her coat, when a pleasant flute sound floated in faintly from the window. She paused, isn't this the tune that Lu Yi once played to her?
Thinking of this, she hurried over to open the window, and saw a figure waving at her in the dark. Under the moonlight, she could still tell that it was Lu Yi.
With a smile on her face, she jumped out of the window and trotted over. "Lu Yi."
Lu Yi also smiled. "Ah Li." The longing in his eyes was palpable.
"Why did you come to me in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong? She circled around him, then approached his face and looked in the moonlight. Why do I think you don't look good? Didn't you get a good rest? Then why don't you come to me with a good rest? "She's weird and distressed.
"It's okay, we haven't seen each other in a few days." He also lowered his head and looked at her carefully, his eyes gentle.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes! I haven't seen you in a few days, are you missing me? Just came to see me overnight? ”
Lu Yi nodded slightly embarrassedly, staring at her, blushing slightly. "What about Ah Li? Is there anything like me? ”
Her skin was thicker than his, and her answer was natural. "Of course! I wonder every day why don't you come to play with me, and I think it's really like a rumor, you want to get out of the marriage! ”
"Impossible!" Lu Yi said very decisively. "Ah Li doesn't believe in the affection between me and you?"
"Believe it, are you very busy these days?"
A trace of darkness crossed Lu Yi's eyes, fleeting. "It's very busy, I have to enter the palace every day to assist the saint in handling some official business, leaving early and returning late."
"Oh!" She reached out and gently pressed his brow. "You look tired, go back and get some rest! The coming days are long, and what we have is time to get together. ”
"I'll just talk to Ah Li, okay? Don't chase me. Listening to his inquiring tone, coupled with his already weak and pale appearance, it looked strange and pitiful.
She couldn't stand his soft look. "Okay, well, you can say whatever you want."
"Hmm!" Lu Yi tentatively took her hand. "What has Ah Li done in the past few days?"
"Me! I ......"
They chatted very happily and sweetly, but they didn't know that this scene fell into a pair of ink eyes under the big tree not far away. He leaned against the trunk of the tree, his eyes glowing coldly in the reflection of the moonlight. That aura brought a cool breeze for no reason, cold and bleak.
Half an hour later, Yin Lijiao and Lu Yi finally said goodbye reluctantly. The dark figure under the big tree was stunned for a while, and then turned around and left silently.
Huainan Province.
Xiang Yi looked left and right, and finally saw Lu Xun walking slowly with his negative hand, and he hurriedly roared over. "Childe, where have you been again? But I'm in a hurry. Your wound is not completely healed, how can you run around? If anything, the old lady should be angry again. ”
Lu Xun ignored him, crossed him and entered the house.
Xiang Yi scratched his head and muttered. "Why do I think Childe is angry again? Alas......"
Since he came back, his master has been even more bad-tempered and moody than before, and he will be scared to death if he is not careful.
The next day.
Yin Lijiao talked a lot, and finally persuaded Shen Yayan to agree to let her go to the gate of the palace to intercept Lu Yi and meet him. If people can bother to see her, then she will have to have a snack.
As they walked in parallel in the direction of the gate of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yayan asked, "Are you sure it's too late?" It is said that the officials entered the palace very early. ”
"It's in time, it's in time." Yin Lijiao was very happy. "I asked him the night before yesterday, he didn't go to court, he could be later."
"Oh! That's good. ”
The two of them walked out of the gate, got into the carriage, and headed in the direction of the palace.
Not long after they left, Meng Shuqing came to the door with a jewelry box and waited expectantly for a long time, and Shen Yashu walked out with her maid coldly and arrogantly.
Meng Shuqing said something to Shen Yashu, and left together.
Yin Lijiao's carriage stopped some distance from the palace gate, and they didn't dare to get too close because the gate was guarded by palace guards.
Yin Lijiao looked left and right, and then pulled Shen Yayan to the intersection on the other side. She felt that judging by the direction, Lu Yi should come from this road.
She leaned against the wall to watch the posture of the palace gate, and couldn't help but admire. "So solemn, so magnificent." It was so majestic, as if it was shrouded in a glimmer of light.
Shen Yayan nodded. "If you marry Prince Lu in the future, you will have the opportunity to enter the palace wall and have a look."
Hearing this, Yin Lijiao shook her head. "I'm not going in!" Afraid that the wall would have ears, she did not say the reason, lest trouble come out of her mouth. After all, this is the door of the Son of Heaven, so it's better to be cautious.
"Why?" Shen Yayan asked.
She was about to do something when a carriage passed by them, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head to see the man sitting in the carriage window.
Lu Xun?
Do you want to be so coincidental?
At the same time, he also turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was her, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just as she was struggling with whether to leave or wait, the passing carriage stopped. She was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Shen Yayan away. She didn't want to be humiliated again.
Lu Xun in the carriage snorted coldly as if he guessed that she would run. "Stop her."
"Yes!" Zhiluo immediately jumped out of the carriage and quickly chased after him.
After all, Yin Lijiao only had a brute strength, and she pulled the delicate Shen Yayan, but she was quickly stopped by the fall of her martial arts.
Yin Lijiao was helpless, so she had to stand still.
Shen Yayan looked at her suspiciously, and asked her what was going on with her eyes.
Lu Xun got out of the carriage and his eyes fell on her back. "Invite Miss Yin over." Looking at his face, you can see that his injuries are basically fine.
"Yes!" Zhiluo made a gesture. "Miss Yin, please come with me."
Yin Lijiao said to Shen Yayan: "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”
"Good!" Although Shen Yayan didn't know what was going on, she knew that she was acting obediently. Looking at this atmosphere, it is obviously not a good thing, and it is better for her not to add to the chaos.
Yin Lijiao followed the fall to stand in front of Lu Xun, and she took the lead in showing him a bright smile. "It's a coincidence that I've met the second son." The so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Belch...... Although this principle didn't seem to work well on this thing, she still did her best.
Seeing her smile, Lu Xun's indifferent face was a little moved, but he quickly straightened his face again. "Are you waiting for my eldest brother here?" As he spoke, the cold breath in his body became thicker again.
"I ......" Yin Lijiao didn't know how to speak. Based on what happened before, she knew that he obviously hated her and didn't want her to marry into the Lu family, and if she answered "yes", it would definitely anger him. But if she answers "no", it is obvious that she will not be able to fool him, but may make him even more unhappy because of lying.
She felt like she wanted to punch him.
She didn't understand, she didn't want to marry him? Why do you have to look at his face? This distinction between the concubines really shouldn't be too tricky, okay?
But the reality is so deceitful.
What's more, Lu Yi is not even a concubine.
Lu Xun saw the fire in her eyes and evoked a hint of sarcasm. "Zhiluo, send Miss Yin back." As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves and turned to get into the carriage.
"Miss Yin, please!"
She asked loudly to Lu Xun in the carriage: "Lu Xun, where did I offend you?" Can't just talk about it? She didn't believe that he really looked down on her background, he wasn't like such a pedantic person.
Lu Xun looked at her serious appearance through the gap in the car curtain, and only after a long time did he retract his gaze, and closed his eyes to hide the love he wanted to vent. "To one, go!"
"Yes!"
She looked at the carriage that gradually drove into the palace gate, and although she started the crazy complaining mode in her heart, she could only leave with Shen Yayan under the surveillance of Zhiluo.
Zhiluo followed her until she could no longer intercept Lu Yi before leaving.
She has a feeling that she is afraid that she will really not be able to marry this Lu Yi. In ancient times, it was not a society with human rights at all. Although this marriage was ordered by Mrs. Lu herself, with Lu Xun's temper, it was obvious that Mrs. Lu couldn't do anything about him.
After Zhiluo left, Shen Yayan dared to ask: "Second Prince Lu seems to be really against this marriage?" ”
"Hmm!"
"What then?" Shen Yayan was anxious.
She shrugged. "I don't know! Take one step at a time! ”
Shen Yayan looked worried. "Why aren't you worried?"
"I'm worried about it?" Yin Lijiao couldn't help but think of Lu Yi, in fact, she was really reluctant in her heart, but she didn't want to embarrass everyone. If he really had to withdraw from the marriage, she would admit it.
Shen Yashu shook her head and sighed.
