After hearing this, Yao Duran felt a dilemma in his heart, it was really inappropriate to talk to him in public. But the sentence 'knowing the right friendship' made her feel that this person was really good, and she felt that she had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Besides, the nobles who rejected the people in public made this nobleman really embarrassed? What to do?

Who knows, the audience coaxed again: "Please also invite your lady to the appointment——"

"Yes—your lady is invited to an appointment—"

On Fuquan's side, his mind turned a few times, and his heart said that his wife had been divorced, and he was lonely and helpless. This was suddenly appreciated by a mysterious nobleman, and if they continued to develop, perhaps the second spring of the lady would come again. Immediately, he thought about it and shouted: "Madam! Go to your appointment! The noble man is benevolent and virtuous, he must be a righteous man and a gentleman, and he is worth befriending! ”

"Biya! Hurry up, shout, let the lady go fishing for the golden beetle. Fuquan reminded urgently, and Biya also said loudly: "Madam, you can go to the appointment, catch a noble person as a golden beetle son-in-law....... well!" ”

Fuquan hurriedly covered her mouth and sneered at everyone: "Hey, hey, don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh." Heh, this girl's mouth is too straight, haha, haha. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Yao Duran was said by Biya in public, and her pretty face burned all of a sudden. I don't know if the golden-faced man behind him heard it......

Everyone in the audience was still shouting for her to go to the appointment, Yao Duran thought about it, and finally decided to go to the appointment, so that he could save his face and leave here first, and then, who knows if he wants to leave or leave?

After making up his mind, Yao Duran said to the person in charge: "Since the nobles are invited, how can the women not know how to lift?" The women also admired the kindness and benevolence of the nobles, and they felt honored to be able to talk to them. ”

The person in charge waited for a long time, and when he saw that she finally agreed, he immediately smashed his fist in the palm of his hand: "Okay! That's great! Please also ask the lady to come to the nobleman, and the nobleman will lead you away with you. The rest is handled by the villain. ”

"Okay." Yao Duran turned around and walked towards the golden-faced man step by step. When the man saw her coming, the corners of his lips seemed to rise again, and he immediately got up, made a 'please' gesture, and led her off the stage and left.

"Congratulations to two nobles—to two nobles—"

The two had just walked for a short time in the night, when they heard the sound of a gong behind them, and everyone began to grab the lights! Perhaps, more accurately, it is to start grabbing those five golden leaves. For a while, there was a lot of noise behind him.

The two gradually separated from the bustling and noisy, walked into another street, step by step, and slowly cleared up. Along the way, Yao Duran had been thinking about retiring under pretext, and after thinking about it, the man in front of him suddenly stopped. When she looked up, she saw that the two of them were already standing in front of a store called "Cloud Smoke Pavilion".

Two long strings of lanterns hang down from both sides of the front of the store, making it very warm and cozy at night. From the outside, this shop is simple and elegant, revealing the air of elegance and ink. It seems to be what he called 'Yadi'.

The golden-faced man turned around and made an invitation gesture to her again, Yao Duran knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, so he said: "Your nobleman forgives, the woman just agreed to go to the appointment, but it was just a last resort, and she didn't want to save your face." At present, there are still trivial matters at the woman's home, so I will say goodbye here, hoping that the nobles will forgive the woman for missing her company. ”

The man looked at her and suddenly snorted through his nose. The next moment, he directly grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the store.

Yao Duran suddenly lost her face: "Alas, alas! You...... Noble, you ...... How did you change your face so quickly? Let me go! ”

The man didn't say a word, and with a tough attitude, he pulled her into the brightly lit Yunyan Pavilion, and then pulled her straight up to the second floor. Yao Duran didn't have time to think about it, he was pulled into an ancient and fragrant private room, and he closed the door casually, and no one had any intention of sitting, so he blocked the door like that.

Seeing that he was like a prey, Yao Duran was scared all of a sudden, angry that he was so stupid that he dared to agree to his appointment without even knowing him?

Yao Duran helped the mask on his face, and begged for mercy: "Nobleman, you ...... You let me go, don't scare me if I'm cowardly, and don't joke with me, I really have something at home. ”

"I ...... Oh yes, my husband is coming to me! My husband is ...... It's the Lord of the Dynasty! No matter how rich you are, you can't offend the official, so you better let me go. ”

The man heard him say a series of words, suddenly laughed, and finally opened his mouth to speak: "It's true that your husband is a court scholar, but hasn't he already divorced you?" Besides, you only know that I am rich, but you don't know my identity, how can you conclude that I can't afford to provoke your affectionate Shangshu? ”

Wait a minute! His voice is very familiar. Moreover, he seems to know her affairs well. Uh-no, wait! This doesn't seem to be an understanding, after all, everyone in Beijing knows that Lord Shangshu divorced his wife, so it doesn't seem surprising that he knows about it.

"And who the hell are you? Why should a dignified man hide it? Why not show your true colors? ”

When the man heard this, he laughed again: "You said me? Oh, what about yourself, born beautiful like a flower, don't you also wear a grimace mask and refuse to show your true face? ”

Hearing him again, Yao Duran finally heard who he was, and for a while, he was very stunned. But the fear and worry in my heart are gone.

She slowly took off her mask, revealing a peerless face, then sat down and turned her head away from him, and said, "Your Highness is really good at playing tricks on people!" ”

"Haha-" The man smiled brightly and slowly removed his golden mask. Only the face behind the mask is a face that is rare to see in the world. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, straight nose and thin lips, handsome not like a real person. It is the prince of a country, the lord of the East Palace - Huo Jingcheng!

Huo Jingcheng sat down opposite her with a smile and said, "I know that you are smart, so I don't dare to speak and hold back all the time, for fear that you will recognize it, then it will not be interesting." ”

Yao Duran didn't dare to stare at him, nor did he dare not give a good face, so he had to say politely: "Then how did His Highness recognize me?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "When we collide on the street, I smell the fragrance and know people. Besides, you are still with Fuquan by your side, if you can't recognize you anymore, isn't it too stupid? ”

Yao Duran was speechless when she heard this, so she had to divert the topic: "It turns out that His Royal Highness is the noble man who is benevolent and kind in the hearts of the people, and it is really the blessing of Nanqian to reward the people through games." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "If you pass the award, take it from the people and use it for the people." Okay, let's get down to business, today you can solve my puzzle, it's fate, now that you've arrived here, there's absolutely no reason to go any further, why don't you have a few drinks to the moon? ”

Yao Duran said: "Your Highness, are you still worried that there is no one to accompany you to enjoy the moon and drink?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said softly: "This is naturally not worried. But isn't it chic that we meet by chance today? It is time to talk about it for a long time to live up to it. Besides, didn't your maid say that you should come and fish me as a golden beetle? You're leaving, and they're going to be disappointed. ”

It turned out that he still heard it. Yao Duran's cheeks burned, and she said with a slight annoyance: "Little maid is talking nonsense, Your Highness, don't take it to heart, and don't joke about it anymore." ”

"Haha, good, good. Now, I'm going to let you know if you agreed to stay? Huo Jingcheng didn't wait for her to answer after asking, so he called out the door: "Little Er, order." ”

"Come on!" The shopkeeper came in with a shout, and was about to serve the recipe, but Huo Jingcheng didn't read the recipe, so he ordered: "A pot of Baiguo tea, a pot of home-brewed wine, and a plate of spicy braised duck tongue, uh no, the duck tongue is gone." A plate of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, fresh mushroom cabbage sum, colorful bean shreds, assorted pot mix, parsley lily, toon tofu, white fungus lotus seed soup. As for the cloud smoke, there are two pots of lemon fruit. All right. ”

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen! The shopkeeper tried hard to memorize it and left with a smile.

"Wait." Yao Duran suddenly called out to him and added, "Let's also serve that spicy braised duck tongue." ”

"Oh, yes!"

Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave, Yao Duran said, "Your Highness doesn't have to accommodate my taste so much. His Royal Highness is so skilled in ordering food, it seems that he is a frequent customer here, and the orders are naturally the characteristics of this restaurant. Then that plate of spicy braised duck tongue must also be His Highness's favorite food, just order it. I'm not at the point where I can't even watch the meat. ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at her with a smile and said, "Indeed, the spicy braised duck tongue is very good for wine, but the taste is heavy, and it is just right to be neutralized with some vegetarian dishes." ”

Yao Duran said: "By the way, Your Highness, I don't know what the crown princess is doing?" When we meet here today, we should also invite my mother to come over for a gathering. ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "I'm afraid I can't let you get your wish, there are many things to do during the New Year, the princess is busy until today, and she happens to go back to Xiao's house to pay New Year's greetings, and she won't go back to the East Palace at night." ”

It turned out that he was back to his parents' house. Yao Duran had no choice but to say: "I see, then please ask Your Highness to tell us calmly when you go back and see Niangniang Niang." ”

Huo Jingcheng frowned slightly after hearing this: "Yao Duran, you are so cautious in dealing with the world?" You've been like this all these years? ”

Yao Duran's heart darkened, and said: "Your Highness is honorable, and you don't know the suffering of the inferior. Twilight has always been like this, she is afraid of trouble, and she is afraid of causing trouble for others, so she has to be careful. ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at her for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Maybe one day, there will always be someone who can protect you from standing tall and walking steadily, except for your humility, from your cowardice, from your fear, and allow you to have no taboos, be reckless, and live as you please!" ”

Yao Duran was surprised. I was amazed at how firm he said this, as if he were the one who was. I was also surprised by the slight annoyance in his words, as if he hated the person he cared about but was suffering carefully and humbly, and couldn't see her writhing in the dust.

Just after thinking about it, Yao Duran suddenly woke up! How could she make such an analogy? For a while, he was silent and at a loss.

Huo Jingcheng sighed lightly and said, "By the way, why don't you ask me about the sachet?" ”

Yao Duran raised her eyes to look at him, and then shook her head: "What is there to ask, when you don't see it, it's the best result." ”

Huo Jingcheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. The shopkeeper came with a tray to serve the food, set it on the table the same, and then left. The door to the private room was closed again.
