Chapter 12: The Upper Yuan Festival (II)

Ling Xi, who got rid of Xiang Hongxuan, walked quickly towards Mochizuki Lake, she thought that Xiang Hongxuan's disciple was still stupidly guessing riddles, she felt funny, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed into her eyes, and before she knew it, Ling Zhu was already standing opposite her, Ling Xi was startled, and hurriedly turned around, about to leave, but Ling Zhu walked quickly to her side and grabbed her.

"Brother, what a coincidence." Ling Xi said awkwardly.

"You should have returned to the Hou Mansion early at this hour, why did you sneak out?" Ling Zhu questioned Ling Xilai.

Ling Xi glanced at the stage not far away, she raised her head and pretended to be calm and said: "I'm here to listen to the play, it's rare for the Shangyuan Festival to be so lively, every year it's like watching the flowers, how boring, there is a stage, just come and listen." After saying that, she kept glancing at the ginkgo biloba beside her.

Ginkgo quickly understood what Ling Xi meant, and she hurriedly responded: "I heard that there is a big drama on the stage today, which is very beautiful, I begged Miss for a long time before Miss agreed to take me to see it." ”

"Since it's so good-looking, let's take a look at it together." Ling Zhu pulled Ling Xi and walked to the stage and sat down, and Ginkgo also sat down next to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi's brows were tightly locked, Ling Zhu's hand was tightly clasped on her left wrist, how could she sneak to Mochiyue Lake, and she didn't know if Ye Muzhi had arrived, Ling Xi was a little anxious.

"Second sister, I'm really getting more and more bold, and I'm staging a private meeting with someone under the moon."

When Ling Xi heard Ling Zhu's words, she couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that Ling Zhu knew about herself and Ye Muzhi, or did she see her traveling to the Yuan Festival at night, suspecting that she had a private meeting with her lover, and was here to trick her?

"What did my brother say?"

"I'm talking about the play on stage." Ling Zhu said softly. I saw that on the stage, inside and outside the big red wall of the high gate and deep courtyard, a pair of talented and beautiful women looked across the wall.

Ling Zhu turned his head to look at Ling Xi and Ginkgo, the two of them were watching the big drama on the stage intently, he looked at the stage, and said slowly: "This play on the stage is about the son of a high-ranking official who met the daughter of a wealthy businessman, they fell in love at first sight, and then had a private meeting under the moon, but unfortunately the difference between the identities of the two is huge, the daughter of a rich businessman can't marry a high-ranking official's family, and then the rich girl eloped with the young master for love." ”

I don't know when, Ling Zhu let go of Ling Xi's wrist, Ling Xi noticed that her wrist was free, she secretly glanced at Ling Zhu beside her, Ling Zhu was still playing with her seriously, without noticing, Ling Xi quietly changed places with Ginkgo next to her, in the gray moonlight, and the noisy stage gongs and drums, Ling Xi quickly slipped out of the stage and got into the crowd.

After finishing the play, Ling Zhu turned his head to look at Ling Xi on the side, but Ling Xi had long been gone, and Ginkgo was sitting beside him with an innocent face, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"When did she start with Ye Muzhi."

It turned out that Ling Zhu had already known that she had deliberately come to stop Ling Xi today, and Ginkgo was starting to make trouble, since Ling Zhu had picked it up, she was afraid that Ling Zhu would be even more angry if she pretended to be stupid.

"It didn't take long, just half a year." Ginkgo muttered quietly.

"Confused, if you let people know, the reputation of the second sister will be over, and you, your punishment is indispensable, maybe your mother will sell you." Ling Zhu deliberately lowered his voice and said.

Ginkgo looked at Ling Zhu quietly, and Ling Zhu still looked at the stage tightly, but his expression was a little solemn.

"Miss is usually in communication with Ye Gongzi, they haven't seen each other a few times in private, and the second miss is so smart that she won't be discovered." Ginkgo said cautiously.

"The second sister is a person with a marriage contract, and Ye Muzhi has no possibility with her. Do you know the consequences of covering them up like this? ”

Suddenly Ginkgo's eyes were a little red, she had been in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion since she was a child, but she had never seen Ling Zhu make such a big fire, at least never to her, she knew that Ling Zhu was really angry, and it was still against her.

"I'm sorry."

Seeing that Ginkgo's tears were about to fall, she quickly got up and wanted to leave, she didn't want Ling Zhu to see her gaffe.

Suddenly, Ling Zhu grabbed her, one of Ling Zhu's hands tightly clasped Ginkgo's left hand, he slowly put Ginkgo's left hand on his chest, and Ginkgo couldn't help but get close to Ling Zhu's side and sit down slowly.

"Accompany me through this play." Ling Zhu said softly, he was still looking at the stage intently, as if the big drama on the stage was unusually good.

Ginkgo's face was suddenly covered with red glow, it was the first time she had approached Ling Zhu so closely, she had followed Ling Xi since she was a child, and she often got Ling Zhu's other eyes, Ling Zhu was always polite to her, and her eyes were full of tenderness, she knew that it was just because she was Ling Zhu's most beloved sister's maid, she shouldn't have other fantasies, but she always couldn't help but think about it.

Ling Zhu's hand was still holding her hand tightly, the temperature slowly spread from her fingers to her heart, her heart that didn't dare to be restless couldn't help but boil, she slightly leaned her head on one side of Ling Zhu's shoulder, if this was a lifetime, how good it would be.

....................................................................................................................................................

Ye Muzhi, who was dressed in green clothes, came to Mochizuki Lake early, he stood by the lake, staring at the calm lake with a frown, he was waiting for Ling Xi, but his face did not have the joy of looking forward to the arrival of his lover.

Suddenly, a vague figure slowly approached Mochizuki Lake, it was Ling Xi who he had been thinking about for a long time, and in the silent lake, Ling Xi's brisk footsteps gradually came, but Ye Muzhi's heart became heavier and heavier with Ling Xi's clear footsteps.

Ling Xi saw Ye Muzhi's majestic figure standing by the lake, his green clothes glowing with a little blue in the moonlight, such a handsome little brother, Ling Xi couldn't help but become shy. If it hadn't been for Xiang Hongxuan's trouble, and Ling Zhu dragging her to the play, she would have gone to Mochizuki Lake a long time ago. But fortunately, Ye Muzhi was still waiting for her, and when she thought about it, she felt that the sweet Ling Xi almost trotted in front of Ye Muzhi.

"I thought you were gone." Ling Xi smiled lightly at Ye Muzhi and whispered.

Ye Muyi's face was solemn, standing motionless, as if there was no joy, he pursed his lips slightly, as if he had made some big determination,

"Let's not see each other again." These words seemed to be squeezed out of Ye Muzhi's throat, and word by word popped out of his mouth.

"Ye Muzhi, what do you mean?"

Ling Xi, who was still rejoicing just now, was completely annoyed by Ye Muzhi's brainless words. She thought about sneaking out of the Hou Mansion and meeting Ye Muzhi every day, and finally came out to see each other on this Shangyuan Festival, she imagined countless scenes of their private meetings on the Shangyuan Festival, but she didn't expect that she waited for Ye Muzhi's words,

"Men and women don't kiss, it's not good to meet in private like this." Ye Muzhi said in a low voice.

Ling Xi couldn't believe his ears, Ye Muzhi was going to break with himself? She stared at Ye Muzhi directly, she knew that she was not beautiful, Ye Muzhi could not like her, but why did she come to tease her, she could think of the reason why Ye Muzhi was so decisive today, that is, he fell in love with someone else, it turned out that the sweetness of the past half a year was just the object of people's teasing. Ling Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, just now she was still laughing at Naden disciple for being a fool, but now it seems that she is.

"Ye Gongzi has a crush on which girl, rest assured that I, Ling Xi, will not spoil Ye Gongzi's good deeds." Ling Xi said sourly, unconsciously, Ling Xi's eyes were overflowing with tears, she tried to restrain herself, she didn't want Ye Muzhi to see her so embarrassed.

The moon in the sky seemed to feel Ling Xi's anger in the air, and the moon fell into a thick dark cloud with one retreat, Ye Muzhi still stood by the lake without saying a word, in this dim night, if someone with bad eyes might think he was a statue.

Originally, Ling Xi thought that the silent Ye Muzhi was loyal and honest, but now it seems that his honest and loyal appearance is wrapped in a swinger's heart, Ye Muzhi is afraid that he is speechless if he doesn't say a word, or that he really has a new love, thinking of this Ling Xi's heart came with a tingling pain.

The more she thought about it, the more angry Ling Xi became, in addition to anger and heartache, she didn't want to stay here anymore, she was extremely sad to see Ye Muzhi, she turned around and left the lake without looking back.

Maybe it was because there was no moonlight, Ling Xi couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, or maybe it was because Ling Xi was too angry and didn't pay attention to the road ahead at all, but after taking a few steps, Ling Xi stumbled and fell to the ground fiercely, and Ling Xi, who was angry, painful and aggrieved, couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she cried in a low voice.

Ye Muzhi kept looking at Ling Xi, and when he saw Ling Xi fall, he strode to Ling Xi's side and helped her up.

"Go away." Ling Xi said angrily.

She tried hard to push Ye Muzhi's arms away, but Ye Muzhi's hands were tightly clasped on her body as if they were embedded in her flesh.

"Ye Gongzi, just now you said that men and women don't kiss, and now it's so rude, don't you think it's a contradiction?" Ling Xi roared at Ye Muzhi.

"What do you want me to do? You have a marriage contract, and I am just a concubine, it is impossible for us, and it will only be bad for you to give and receive it privately now. Ye Muzhi roared, his hands tightened Ling Xi's strength, Ling Xi metaphorically felt a burst of pain in his arm, at this moment Ling Xi clearly felt Ye Muzhi's pain from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Xi thought of Ling Zhu who appeared on the Shangyuan Festival tonight, Ling Zhu came to look for her on purpose, Ling Zhu had already known about her and Ye Muzhi, and Ling Zhu also told Ye Muzhi about his marriage, Ye Muzhi retreated, because of her marriage contract, because of their identity.

"I listened to a play tonight, saying that a rich girl can elope with the young master for love, and I can too." Ling Xi said categorically.

"But I don't want you to be wronged for me." Ye Muzhi said faintly, he let go of the palm that was clasped on Ling Xi's body, turned around and left alone.
