Yingluo sorted out her clothes, checked whether she had her veil on well, and walked towards Houhu with Zichai.

The courtyard of the Jade Mansion is not small, but the Houhu alone accounts for half of the part, it occupies almost the entire backyard in the house, there are two ways to go to the Houhu, one is to go back from the courtyard door of the Yuchi Peak, and then through a few yards, you can walk to the Houhu Lake after a forest, and the other is to go directly to the back from the courtyard of Yingluo.

Because Houhu Lake is at the end of the courtyard, most guests who come to Yufu don't know that there is such a big lake in Yufu. And the fifth prince, Qi Xu, because he has lived here for a few years, naturally knows this place well.

Because it is closer to the back lake, Yingluo has already walked to the edge of the back lake even if she deliberately walks slower, facing her Huxin Pavilion with her back to a gorgeously dressed person, there are two small stone bridges leading to the Huxin Pavilion, Yingluo paused, or slowly got on the stone bridge in front of her.

Yingluo and Zichai walked on the stone bridge, and when they reached the pavilion, the two stopped, and before Yingluo could salute, the person turned around, but it was Qi Ran, the eighth prince, who looked at her with a smile.

Yingluo was shocked, why did Qi Ran, the eighth prince, invite her here in the name of Qi Xu, and what was her purpose? Although she thought so in her heart, Yingluo let herself calm and saluted Qi Ran, "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is well. And Zichai also saluted. Qi Ran stood there, not ignoring Yingluo's surprise that flashed just now, and then explained, "Fifth brother asked me to talk to Miss Yu here for a while, and he will be there in a while." ”

Yingluo thought carefully and said, "The Eighth Highness is strict, how can the people's daughter He De let His Highness accompany me here, if the Fifth Highness is not there, the people's daughter will retire first." ”

Qi Ran shook his head aggrievedly, "Miss Yu's words sound like she is exalting me, but in fact she looks down on me, otherwise she wouldn't even want to talk to me." Yingluo obviously didn't expect Qi Ran to say such a thing without such an identity, but she misinterpreted her meaning strictly, if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would be punished with contempt for the prince.

Therefore, Yingluo had no choice but to say, "Your Highness is strict, even if you borrow a few brave women, you won't dare." If His Royal Highness insists on accompanying the people's daughter, the people's daughter has no choice but to be respectful and obey her fate. ”

And Qi Ran opened his mouth to smile, and the good-looking smile was particularly warm on the clean face, "Don't be afraid, Jade girl, I'm just joking," Then, Qi Ran sat on the stone bench and gestured to Yingluo, "You can sit too." Yingluo thanked her and sat down.

The tea maid in Houhu had already changed the hot tea when Qi Ran came here, so Zichai stepped forward and poured a cup for Qi Ran first, then poured a cup for Yingluo and then retreated to the side. Yingluo said, "Your Highness should warm up your body with some hot tea, now that the weather is getting colder, you are most likely to get sick." ”

Qi Ran glanced at her, picked up the hot tea in his hand, took a sip, lowered his gaze and swept over the lyre on the side, Wu remembered what he wanted to ask just now, "Miss Yu is a good musician?" Yingluo let go of the teacup and said politely, "It's just that after a few years of study, it's difficult to get into the hall of elegance." "Yingluo has been learning the piano since she was a child, and she can't say that she can play it superbly, but her kung fu is still good. Although there has been a little bit of desolation in recent months, it still plays very well.

Qi Ran nodded, and then said, "Since you don't play very well, then don't play it." Yingluo was shocked, and she only gave in, but no one would categorically think so, so it can be seen that Qi Ran must have done it on purpose. Then Yingluo continued, "Your Highness Xie understands. ”

Qi Ran was undoubtedly not talking, and Yingluo was sitting opposite Qi Ran at this time, although she was calm on weekdays, the two of them sat for so long and the cold wind blew themselves a little woody, and they couldn't calm down, did they deliberately put themselves to blow the cold wind? After a while, I felt a little chill on my body.

Zichai on the side looked at Yingluo's appearance, but suddenly remembered that he forgot to get a cloak for Yingluo. Originally, Yingluo's health was not very good, but she had just recovered for a while, and her body was even worse if she was sick, so Zichai took a step forward and said in Yingluo's ear, "Miss, go get a cloak for the slave." ”

Yingluo thought about it, this is in her own home, and it is so clear everywhere, there will be no bad name, and she is indeed a little cold, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

And Qi Ran has been paying attention to Yingluo's movements, and when he saw that Zichai was gone, he said, "The jade girl is really bold, she sent the maid away, and she is not afraid of spreading the name of giving and receiving it privately." ”

And Yingluo was a little embarrassed, she couldn't imagine that this Eighth Prince could say anything, and said righteously at the moment, "Your Highness laughed, how dare anyone dare to offend His Highness, it's just that the maid has always been weak and can't help the cold wind, and the maid just went to get a cloak for me." ”

"As you say, I'm just joking." Qi Ran shook his head and smiled again. Yingluo, on the other hand, felt like she was being teased, so she stopped talking.

And Qi Ran glanced behind him slightly, then swept a figure towards this side, then looked at Yingluo and said, "My task is complete, but it is indeed pleasant to talk to the jade girl." Then he stood up and said to Qi Xu, who had already walked to the pavilion, "Fifth brother, don't forget what you promised me." ”

And Qi Xu nodded and said, "Got it." Then Qi Ran walked out of the pavilion.

And Yingluo stood up when Qi Xu came, but after Qi Ran left, Yingluo bowed her head and saluted Qi Xu, "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is fine." Yingluo never raised her head, and Qi Xu didn't make a sound, and the two of them stood quietly in the quiet pavilion with only the sound of the wind.

After a moment, Qi Xu took a step closer to Yingluo, and Yingluo took a step back silently, and then only heard a low sigh above her ear, and then the voice sounded, "Luo'er, what should I do with you?" Hearing this, Yingluo's heart trembled a little, and for a moment, Yingluo almost looked up and told him, but in the end she held back, because she didn't have the courage to face that cruel reality.

Yingluo slowly raised her head, seeing Qi Xu's frowning brows, she didn't feel a good feeling in her heart, and wanted to say Yan Zòng's words but was firmly blocked in her throat, and finally just sighed and said to Qi Xu, "Fifth Highness, do you remember what you said when we met that day?" ”

Qi Xu's face was slightly ugly, he would not forget that day, he looked at her resolute back, and the resentment in his heart arose, his last sentence, the girl, please rest assured, I promise that the two of us have never met. So far, she has taken that sentence to heart.

"Luo'er, is your heart really so ruthless?" Qi Xu still stared at Yingluo's eyes tightly, hoping that she would still stick to his gaze when she was a child, but Yingluo disappointed him completely, "A gentleman's words are worth a thousand catties, please Your Highness respect yourself." ”

"Heh, are you sure you don't regret it?" Qi Xu took two steps back, hiding the emotion in his eyes just now, and the words he said were a little gloomy.

"Back to Your Highness, the folk girl will not regret it." Yingluo bowed her head, her voice firm. Every word of Ke Yingluo hit Qi Xu's heart hard. Qi Xu turned around, turned his back to Yingluo, and said in a calm voice, "You go." ”

Yingluo was naturally restored, bent down and bowed, and said, "Your Highness Xie, the people's daughter will retire first." After speaking, Yingluo turned around, and it happened that Zichai came to deliver the cloak, Yingluo didn't speak, but walked out of the pavilion slowly, but Zichai glanced at Qi Xu in the pavilion worriedly. The two then disappeared into the back lake.

And Qi Xu, who was standing in the pavilion, closed his eyes, and there was a cold wind all around, and he knew that something must have happened.
