Chapter 132: Sorrowful and Ecstatic, Wind and Sideburns (2)
Qing Ling didn't expect that the first person who cared about whether he was lonely would be Chun Yuyan.
In her impression, Yan is uninhibited on the surface, but in fact, he is cold-hearted and resolute, and he only cares about the success or failure of Mu Chen's power, and other things can only be secondary.
And now, hearing him say such a thing, Qing Ling's heart couldn't help but ripple with feelings, and the vines spread warmly.
She looked at Yan and smiled, "Why, do you want me to be like your sisters, compile a list of beautiful men from the Eastern Continent, and then get acquainted and break through one by one from top to bottom?" β
Chun Yuyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why not?" You are Emperor Chaoyan, looking at the Eastern Continent, there are countless men who want to be courteous by your side. Think Fang Shanlei was also famous for his eyes above the top, and in the end, didn't he fall under your skirt? He raised his head and drank the wine, and his eyes drifted to the singer who was stroking the piano behind the curtain, "Since some things are destined to be difficult to obtain, what's wrong with making yourself as happy as possible?" β
Qing Ling has lived in Lingxiao City for a long time, and naturally knows the glamorous style of the children of the family to have fun. In the past, when Ah Jing "trained" her palace rules and etiquette, she also mentioned that the family in Lingxiao City has its own set of behavioral standards, and the unmarried daughter of the door valve occasionally accepts the courtesy offered by men, as long as it is grasped properly, it is not an exaggeration. Just as Ah Jing interacted with Luo Yao when she was in Chongwu, although she knew that her identities were different and there would be no results, it did not prevent her from experiencing a heart-warming feeling.
Before the flower and under the moon, hold the hand.
Qing Ling recalled Yan's words, and his eyes drooped slightly.
Probably, it's the same dream in the hearts of every young woman in the world, right?
In the past, when she listened to the opera in Youxian Town at the foot of Chongwu Mountain, did she have such a longing?
To be accompanied by one person, no matter sweet or sour, never give up hand in hand for a lifetime......
Later, she met that person, secretly infatuated, complained to each other, and swore an oath.
He took her hand, but after all, he couldn't be her lover.
And then ......
Qing Ling's fingertips rubbed the wine glass boringly, and slowly spoke: "I don't despise or envy the style of your son-in-law. Besides, the taste of heartbeat is sweet, but after all, I am a betrothed person, and if there is a slight difference in words and deeds, and someone takes the handle, it will be difficult for my father to explain it. β
Chun Yuyan said with a smile: "I didn't ask you to go out to look for flowers and ask willows, but I just asked you to socialize more and get to know some people who are equivalent to your talent and identity, don't close yourself off." After a pause, he hesitated for a moment, and continued: "In case your marriage with Daze is annulled one day, you can at least have a few people in your heart, even if you strive for happiness for yourself in front of Your Majesty, you can come up with a few marriage partners that can be chosen by him." β
Qing Ling raised his eyes and stared at Yan thoughtfully, "You mean ......"
Chun Yuyan avoided Qing Ling's gaze, raised his glass to drink, and said, "You can't know the reason why Your Majesty married Daze in the first place. He needs to stabilize Daze Baili to keep Chaoyan's huge expenses running. Once Jiuqiu is overturned and Chaoyan's military quartermaster is sharply reduced, His Majesty will no longer have to look at Daze's face to act. This marriage is no longer necessary. β
Qing Ling himself understands this truth.
I agreed to this marriage because I knew that there was still room for a turn in this matter. After the killing in Wutong Town, his father also seemed to be a little more suspicious of Luo Yao, and his attitude began to change slightly.
"But......" she thought to herself, "I am now in charge of taxation and know Chaoyan's situation very well. If 40% of the revenue is lost all of a sudden, the operation of the whole country will be unsustainable. I am afraid it will not be easy for my father to completely abandon the treasury of Daze. β
Chun Yuyan moved his gaze, looked at Qing Ling inquiringly, and asked for a while, "Should you ...... Moved by the son of Osawa Shiko, right? β
Qing Ling's heart jumped, and he frowned: "What are you talking nonsense?" How could it be! β
Chun Yuyan played with the wine glass between his fingers, "When you talked about this before, you were looking forward to getting out of this marriage as soon as possible. Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, the goals you had originally wanted to achieve, such as wooing courtiers and raising private armies, are also going well. But I don't seem to be very happy when I look at you. β
Qing Ling said indifferently: "What does this have to do with whether I am moved or not?" He's done so many things, and I'm not a fool, how can I dislike it? β
Chun Yuyan moved his lips, then pursed it again, shook his head lightly, and said no more.
At this time, the singer behind the curtain sang leisurely with the sound of the piano, and the tone was soft and beautiful, soft and charming, and quite touching.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaomeng first realized, the lonely shadow lingered, the soul was sad, and the relatives had nowhere to return......"
Qing Ling listened for a while, drank the wine silently, suddenly remembered Xiwu, hesitated for a moment, and asked Chun Yuyan: "The maid you sent, Xiwu, who is the bottom?" β
Chun Yuyan pondered for a moment, and Fang slowly replied: "She was originally the singer of the Red Moon Fang. β
Qing Ling asked again: "Why did you send the singer of the Red Moon Fang to be my maid?" β
Chun Yuyan did not answer.
Qing Ling pulled the corners of her mouth, "I'll help you answer." The evening fog looks a little like Ajing. If she stays by my side, sooner or later she will attract Luo Yao's attention to her. She looked at Yan, "But I don't understand, if you want to put eyeliner next to him, why did you give Xiwu the identity of a maid?" How could the people of Barry's not be wary of my people? β
Chun Yuyan hesitated for a long time, "The evening fog is not eyeliner. β
"Not eyeliner?"
"It's not."
After Chun Yuyan finished saying the word "not", he looked meaningfully at Qing Ling for a moment, and then looked away.
In fact, he himself deduced this answer by observing words and feelings. The moment I got the answer, I felt a complicated and indistinguishable feeling in my heart, but it was more like worry......
Chun Yuyan raised his glass and took a sip of wine, secretly regretting his words today.
Qing Ling sat in a stunned position for a moment, chuckling softly, with bitterness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
"This matter is Mu Chen's idea, right?" She asked softly.
Chun Yuyan nodded, and after a while, he said, "There are some things, it's good that you understand them in your heart." You know what kind of temper he is. I have advised you not to play with him. You know that he doesn't like Baili Fuyao, but you have been thinking about the past, showing so much trust in him, and you have been influenced by him to come up with a tax reduction plan. With Mu Chen's character, how can he stand it? β
Qing Ling poured himself a glass of wine, and then said, "So he made a sunset mist and let her make eye contact with my fiancΓ©, and remind me at any time that this marriage is just a transaction, and I can't touch the truth?" β
Chun Yuyan was a little helpless when questioned, and sighed: "Since you can see it clearly, why do you have to go against his will again and again?" Mu Chen doesn't want you to interfere in the matter of taxation, he just doesn't want you to have anything to do with Baili's anymore. He fought hard with his life in the south and destroyed Zhong Qi in less than five months, just to capture Jiuqiu as soon as possible, so that you don't have to trade your lifelong happiness anymore. β
Qing Ling drank the wine and said with a wry smile: "But what's the point of him doing this?" If I don't marry Daze, I can stay in Suzaku Palace for the rest of my life? Didn't you persuade me just now, asking me to find a few people I like to spend the moon and the moon? What if I really find it, and Mu Chen doesn't like it? β
Chun Yuyan said: "That's different. After a pause, "At least the people next to you will really be nice to you." β
Qing Ling drank a few glasses of wine in a big gulp, and the person gradually became drunk, and asked Yan with a smile when he heard the words: "How do you know that Xiao Qi is not good for me?" Is it just because he likes Ajing? What if he was really nice to me? β
Chun Yuyan's eyebrows tightened, "Can you let go of the flame spirit?" β
Qing Ling raised his eyes when he heard this, and stared at Chun Yuyan coldly, "Do you know ......?"
Halfway through the words, he didn't continue, laughed a few times in a calm voice, and buried himself in drinking silently.
Qing Ling and Chun Yuyan drank in the restaurant from afternoon to nightfall, and the dishes were hardly touched.
Qingling's alcohol consumption was not deep, and he was already drunk in the end. Yan was a little drunk, and while instructing Jiu Ji to go downstairs to arrange the carriage, he helped Qing Ling to go down with half a hug and half a hug.
Qing Ling was very strict with Mo Qian when he was in Chongwu, and he rarely drank alcohol, and he was rarely drunk today, and he no longer remembered what to be cautious about, and said nonsense in a daze: "Do you know? Actually, I know...... No, I can actually guess it......" waved his hand, "No, I can actually feel ......"
Chun Yuyan patted her shoulder, "What do you know?" What to say? β
Qing Ling waved his hand away, tears rolled out at some point, and raised his voice with tears, "You all count me!" Count me! β
Chun Yuyan hurriedly appeased Qing Ling, while hurriedly raising his hand to set up a ban, so as not to be listened to by the people in the restaurant.
He wandered around and saw a group of people walking up the stairs under the courteous guidance of the shopkeeper.
The first one among them was Luo Yao.
After returning to Lingxiao City, Luo Yao lived in Baili's mansion in the capital. Different military camps in the capital pay attention to etiquette and norms, even if they are engaged men and women, there are not many opportunities to meet on weekdays, not to mention that he and Qingling deliberately avoid seeing each other, counting it, this is still the first time the two have met in a long time.
Qing Ling was wearing a azure robe, the front cuffs were pulled to reveal a snow-white silver embroidered lining, and the thin waist was held with a moon-white light veil and a crystal clear rose jade pendant. The cheeks were drunk and red, the tears were still there, the slightly opened red lips were dripping, and the person was leaning crookedly in Chun Yuyan's arms, and the beads in the inky black bun were slightly loose, and he was crumbling to the side.
The few people who followed Luo Yao upstairs were all children of the family in Lingxiao City, and most of them also knew Qingling. At this moment, seeing her entangled with Chun Yuyan like this, she couldn't help but glance at Luo Yao with a stunned and embarrassed expression.
Qing Ling still didn't know what was going on, so he dragged Chun Yuyan's robe, wiped his tears and snot, and said, "You ask me if I'm lonely, then I'll tell you, I'm actually very lonely...... It's lonely! He sniffed and raised his head, "You're right, I'm Chaoyan's emperor, what kind of man do you want...... It doesn't matter if he likes it or not! β
Chun Yuyan had a few black lines on the door of his head, and sneered at the people in front of him: "Drunken nonsense, pure drunken nonsense." He hurriedly set up a ban, but he was still a step too slow, and besides, with Luo Yao's cultivation, he was afraid that he would hear everything.
Those children of the family are also familiar with Yan on weekdays, and they are very familiar with his behavior, and now seeing this scene, they guessed that this guy is really as rumored, intending to attract the Qingling Emperor's heart, and he has put a lot of effort behind his back, and he actually coaxed the emperor's heart to sprout.
It's just that now that he has been caught by Emperor Ji's fiancΓ©, I don't know how this unruly Chun Yu second son will end?
