Chapter 168: Cold

"The mist is thick and the clouds are sad for ever,

Rui Brain Gold Killer.

……

……

Mo Dao does not kill the soul,

curtain swept west wind,

People are thinner than yellow flowers. ”

Tianxianglou, Liuxiang Pavilion, Liu Ru lazily played the piano, repeatedly practicing the latest "Drunken Flower Yin, Misty Clouds and Sorrowful Eternal Day".

There was a faint melancholy between her eyebrows, and her mood was like a song.

After practicing again, Xiao Juan, who was waiting next to her, couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, please don't practice anymore, if you practice again, your voice will be hoarse." ”

"Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." Liu Ru turned her face to look at Xiaojuan and asked, "Are these three sentences already fascinating and full of a woman's state of mind?" ”

"Miss......" Xiaojuan exclaimed distressedly.

Liu Ru asked Xiaojuan and didn't expect Xiaojuan's answer, she continued: "Qin Yuanyuan's friend is really amazing, the last song "A Cut of Plum and Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade in Autumn" is already very amazing, and it was rated as a word of the world, and it has only been less than a month, and this song "Drunken Flower Yin, Mist and Thick Clouds Sorrow Eternal Day" was made, and the quality is almost comparable, and it is also a word of hand-me-down. ”

"You say, compared with Qin Yuanyuan's friend and Ji Gongzi, whose poetry is better?" She asked again.

Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't understand. ”

However, she didn't want her young lady to mention that Ji Ning continued to be sad, so she immediately diverted her attention and said, "However, the slave maid thinks it's weird, Qin Yuanyuan's friend." ”

"What's weird?" Liu Ru really asked curiously.

Xiaojuan said: "I heard Qin Yuanyuan reveal that his friend is a man. However, when the slave and maid looked at those two poems, they felt like they were written by a woman. ”

When Liu Ru heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and scolded with a smile: "You, I usually tell you to read more books, but you say that you get dizzy when you see books, and you make jokes, right?" It is not uncommon for men to write poems simulating women's moods. For example, Liu Wuchang, a poet in the previous dynasty, had many of his poems with feminine protagonists. ”

"Therefore, it can only be said that Qin Yuanyuan's friends are extremely delicate, and even women are ashamed of themselves." Liu said again.

Xiao Juan nodded in response, "I see." ”

After a pause, Xiaojuan took the opportunity to say, "Miss, you have almost practiced this poem, take a break." Tomorrow night, I will also attend the banquet invited by the prince of Chongwang's mansion. ”

"Okay." Liu Ru responded, stretched his waist lazily, sighed faintly, and said to himself, "Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers......

Xiaojuan listened, knowing what her young lady meant, and couldn't help but feel sad.

As a young man, even if he wins the Oiran, it will be a bitter fate after all.

……

……

The next day, when night fell, the lights were on, and Ji Ning got into a carriage and went to Chongwang's Mansion as a guest.

The carriage arrived at the side gate of King Chong's Mansion and stopped.

The reason why he didn't stop at the main gate of Chongwang's Mansion was because the main gate of Chongwang's Mansion only allowed Chongwang's real VIPs, even if Li Jing, the prefect of Jinling City, visited, he could only enter through the side door.

Ji Ning got out of the carriage, and the deacon guarding the side door immediately greeted him warmly.

After the deacon of the Chongwang Mansion saluted and welcomed Ji Ning, he said respectfully to Ji Ning: "Master Ji, please wait for a while, the little one has already sent someone to report to the world." ”

"I'm tired." Ji Ning arched his hand and said, understanding what the deacon meant, Zhao Yuanqi wanted to come out to greet him in person.

After all, the Chongwang Mansion is very large, and even if Zhao Yuanqi takes a carriage in the mansion, he won't be able to get out for a while, so Ji Ning waited for a cup of tea at the door.

In the meantime, two or three guests from the banquet arrived, and they were led in directly by the deacon.

When Zhao Yuanqi was about to come out of it, Ji Ning suddenly heard a string of pleasant silver bells, from far and near.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the sound, and saw that it was the car of Tianxianglou, which seemed to be the carriage that Liu Ru took last time.

"Could it be Miss Liu?" Ji Ning's heart couldn't help but move.

Ji Ning guessed in his heart that Tianxianglou's carriage had approached and stopped.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and the first thing that came out was not Liu Rushi, but it was Xiaojuan.

Xiaojuan also inadvertently discovered Ji Ning, shook slightly, and immediately retracted her upper body and reissued the car curtain.

"Miss, no, Ji Ning is also attending the banquet of the Chongwang Prince," she turned to Liu Ru and said quickly, "He is at the door of the Chongwang Mansion!" ”

When Liu Ru heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim softly and became nervous.

She is very embarrassed to meet Ji Ning now, after all, she just had an awkward scene.

However, she could not immediately tell the coachman to turn around and leave, and she could not go back on the banquet of the prince of Chongwang.

She gritted her silver teeth to calm herself, and then said to Xiaojuan: "Let's get out of the car, if he doesn't mention it, we'll treat it as if nothing happened." ”

"No." Xiao Juan answered, turned around and lifted the car curtain again, then drilled out, and continued to lift the car curtain to let Liu Ru come out of it.

As Liu Ru got out of the carriage, Ji Ningru's handsome face greeted him with a faint smile.

"Miss Liu." Ji Ning shouted.

Liu Ru also calmly replied: "If you have seen Ji Gongzi." ”

As soon as Ji Ning heard that Liu Ru called himself "such as" to him and was no longer a "concubine", he immediately realized that Liu Ru was very concerned about his postponement of meeting for four days.

After saluting each other, Liu Ru said first: "I didn't expect to meet Ji Gongzi at the banquet of King Chong's prince, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

In the absence of anyone else, hearing such polite words, Ji Ning was not very comfortable in his heart. The more polite it is, the more it will be outward. Moreover, this is a word in a word.

"Hehe, Ji is too." Ji Ning's expression was calm, pretending not to hear it, and responded.

Knowing that Liu Ru intended to have a relationship with him and didn't plan to take the opportunity to talk in private, he smiled lightly and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Ru is side door of Chongwang's Mansion in front of him, "Miss Liu, please." ”

Liu Ru squatted slightly and returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, Ji Gongzi, please first." ”

Ji Ning smiled and walked back to the side door of Chongwang's Mansion first, and Liu Ru deliberately followed behind one step behind.

The deacon of Chongwang's Mansion stepped forward and extended a warm welcome to Liu Ruyi, and then considered whether to send someone to lure Liu Ruis in first, but considering that Ji Ning seemed to have a good relationship with Liu Rusi, the prince also came out soon.

After weighing it, the deacon decided to let Liu Ru wait for a while, and then he and Ji Ning were greeted by the prince of Chongwang.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that although Ji Ning and Liu Ru stood together, they didn't say a word, and their respective personal maids stared at each other, and the atmosphere was faintly awkward and nervous.

The deacon couldn't help but regret a little, and secretly blamed himself for not cultivating his eyesight yet.

Fortunately, after a while, the prince of Chongwang finally drove out of the palace.
