Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rumors Are False
Handsome face, gentle expression. The man looked at her with a smile and whispered in her ear, "We meet again!" ”
Man Yao left the man's arms and said, "You helped me again." Thank you! Although she had light skills, she was not familiar with this palace, and without this person's help, she was not sure if she would be able to escape this fate.
The man smiled meaninglessly and said, "How do you know they'll be back?" ”
Manyao mocked slightly, and said: "With the prince's suspicion, if it is not confirmed, he will not so easily conclude that he has heard it wrong." ”
The man smiled and asked, "You seem to know the prince very well?" ”
Manyao said lightly: "Some people, just by looking at it, they can see which kind of person the other party belongs to." ”
She said and left the trunk, a slight vertical leap, the white clothes flew into the air, the posture was elegant and elegant, like a fairy, when she was about to land, she turned around, and her clothes swirled in the air with arcs, which was extremely soft. She looked up at the man on the tree, smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes shining, and at that moment, the gradually darkening sky seemed to be lit up by that smile in an instant! The man was stunned for a moment, and then jumped down, his movements were elegant and chic, and he said with interest: "Then look at me...... Which one does it belong to? ”
Manxiao looked into the man's eyes, as bright as stars, and looked gentle and polite, but she intuitively felt that this was not all he had. But I can't see through the expression behind the gentleness. So, she only said eight words, "Humble and polite, gentle as jade." That was the man's impression of her, though not necessarily correct.
The man smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with the assessment. The two walked for a while, and soon arrived near the Yiqing Palace. The man stopped suddenly, as if he remembered something, looked at her with a very serious expression, and said, "Can you promise me one thing?" ”
"Tell me about it." She doesn't make promises until she's unsure of the exact event.
The man approached him and lowered his voice, "Don't tell anyone that you saw me more than a dozen days ago. ”
"Okay." Although I felt a little strange, I didn't hesitate to respond. Secretly said in his heart: This person seems to be very familiar with the palace, who is he? appeared in the palace at this time, could it be that he was the son of a nobleman who should be ordered to enter the palace, one of the men on the list in her hand? Yes or no, I believe it will be revealed soon.
The man's thin lips were lightly raised, and he smiled elegantly, and he smiled back.
Outside the palace walls of the Yiqing Palace, there was such a scene in the eyes of the people who suddenly appeared, two handsome and extraordinary men were very close to each other, looking at each other's eyes and smiling, as if they had known each other for many years, smiling defenselessly. The sky had completely darkened, and the palace lamps were hanging high in the corridors of the main hall, and the candles were bright. The evening breeze of May blows by, with a hint of coldness, straight to the bottom of people's hearts.
Unconsciously, he turned his head and saw that not far ahead, Zong Zheng Wuwu put his hands behind his back, his chin was slightly raised, his thin lips were gently pursed, and he looked at the two of them with slanted eyes, his eyes were cold. Her smile stiffened slightly, and she stepped forward and said, "You've arrived?" What is the situation of His Highness the Nine? ”
Zong Zheng Wuwu didn't respond immediately, only lowered his eyes, raised it again after a while, looked at her again and couldn't see any emotion, and said lightly: "Trauma, don't get in the way, someone has been sent to send him home." After that, he said to Leng Yan behind him: "Tell me to go down, the person has been found." ”
Leng Yan received the order, and before leaving, he glanced at Manxiao with a complicated look. Stunned, he sent someone to look for her? That's right, she was delayed for more than half an hour. Seeing his indifferent expression, she suddenly had the urge to explain, smiled apologetically, and said, "I accidentally got lost, but fortunately I met this son......" is really a vulgar reason, but it is true.
Zong Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked straight into her eyes, which seemed to want to see her thoroughly, which made her feel empty in her heart. Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on her left hand. She was shocked, and suddenly remembered that his jade plate was still in her hand, then, for him, the reason why she was lost seemed ridiculous. Anyway, when did she need to explain her ramblings to others? Shaking his head with a chuckle, with a hint of self-deprecation at the corner of his lips, he handed him back the jade plate in his hand.
Zong Zheng Wuwu didn't take it, only looked indifferent, glanced at the man behind him, and said slowly: "When did you become so familiar with the world-famous General Fu?" ”
General Fu? He was stunned, looked back at the gentle man behind him, and saw him take two steps forward, and smiled modestly and politely: "The reputation of leaving the king is too good, and the general is also thanks to the blessing of the prince, so he has today's reputation." If it is said that the world is famous, it will be far inferior to the prince. ”
Who else can call himself a "general" in front of Zongzheng without worry, except for the patriotic general who holds the position of the three armies and is more than the princes, who else can there be?! Fu Chip, he turned out to be Fu Chip! She was stunned, how could she not connect this gentle man with the fierce and fierce General Fu! Rumors, sure enough, can't be trusted!! She smiled awkwardly and arched her hand slightly, "It's the Great General, Liyue is rude!" "No wonder he would let her keep the meeting secret more than ten days ago, a general returned to the court ahead of schedule, but did not report to the emperor, this is a big crime of bullying the king!
Fu took her hand and said, "Why are you so polite again?" He smiled gently and kindly, making people feel like a spring breeze. He added, "You're the Liyue Princess?" I'd love to hear that your tea garden design is so beautiful and wonderful. ”
Manyao's hands stiffened, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, but did not speak. Seeing that there was a hint of worry in her smile, Fu Chip said, "Liyue doesn't have to worry, if I have the chance, I will intercede with Your Majesty on your behalf." ”
Manyao didn't think much about it, but said sincerely: "Thank you!" ”
Zong Zheng looked at the hands of the two of them touching each other, his eyes became colder and colder, and he said in a deep tone: "General Fu is really powerful!" Although he is in the border gate, he can even know everything about such small things as a tea garden being sealed in the capital. This sentence may seem simple, but if you dig deeper, it will arouse suspicion.
"It's not far from the king's words! Although the closure of the tea garden is not a major national event, the assassination of the prince is not trivial, and now the streets and alleys are talking about it, how can I not know the reason why I will enter the city! Fu Chip smiled lightly and said it as a matter of course.
Zong Zheng hooked his lips and sneered, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh? The general returned to the court after victory, and if he didn't enter the palace to see the driver, he still had time to listen to the rumors in the market? It's new! This king has heard that the scenery in the eastern suburbs is excellent, has the general gone to see it? ”
Fu Chip's face changed, and he looked at Man Yao without a trace, and he was stunned for a moment, Zong Zheng Wuwu obviously pointed out that she had never mentioned the matter of the Eastern Suburbs Inn to anyone, and she didn't know that the man was Fu Chip before.
Fu Chip said: "This general has also heard of this, and when he is free, he will definitely go and enjoy it." If the king did not dislike it, he would have invited the king to accompany him. If the prince of Liyue is willing to appreciate his face, he can also travel with him, okay? "Sure enough, he is not an ordinary character, and the change in Fu Chip's complexion is only an instantaneous thing, and he will soon return to his original state, and he can still talk and laugh casually.
Man Yao stood between the two, smiling, but the corners of his mouth were already stiff. She glanced at Zongzheng worry-free, and still nodded to Fu Chip: "Okay." ”
Zong Zheng squinted at her, there were obviously countless complex emotions in his eyes, but she couldn't see through any of them. Zong Zheng retracted his gaze without worry, looked at Fu Chip coldly with evil eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Whether you go to the eastern suburbs or not, it is the general's business, and it has nothing to do with this king." This king does not like to meddle in things, and he hates nosy people even more! As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Yiqing Palace, walked a few steps, and saw that Man Yao was still standing in place, the corners of his phoenix eyes were raised, and he said impatiently: "What are you still doing there?" He has not yet entered the palace with this king. ”
Man Yao smiled helplessly at Fu Chip, and then followed Zongzheng without worry. Glancing at Zongzheng's perfectly handsome side face from the corner of her eye, she suddenly felt that her heart was soft. He is really a proud man, he went around in a big circle, in fact, he just didn't want Fu Chip to interfere in her affairs.
Yiqing Palace, the dinner has not yet started, and the sound of singing and dancing can be heard from afar. When they entered the temple, the guards at the door shouted, "Meet the king of Likitose!" All the civil and military officials in the hall got up and saluted, and Zongzheng didn't seem to be able to see it, so he walked straight to the table that belonged to him and sat down, and he was not polite, and sat down directly beside him. Noticeable, she kept her head down and didn't make a sound.
"You'd love to see the tea plantation open as soon as possible?" Zong Zheng Wuwu suddenly asked in her ear.
Manyao raised her head in surprise, and before she could speak, Zong Zheng Wuwu had already held her hand under the table, clenched it very tightly, and said, "If that's the case, then ...... Tomorrow, you can. However, you are not allowed to move out of the palace, and the affairs of the tea garden will be handed over to the next person to take care of. Well? ”
Manxiao seemed to see hope in his deep and evil eyes, a hope that people couldn't refuse. It turns out he could have done it a long time ago! Is it because she is in the palace that she didn't do it?
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Zong Zheng Wuwu let go of her hand, turned his head and said, "I don't want to...... That's it. His face was expressionless, but his tone seemed to have a hint of gambling.
Usually he is always indifferent or cold, and occasionally gentleness makes people feel unreal, and he can't have anything to do with the word "cute", but such a gambling Zongzheng is carefree, but she feels that the distance between them is suddenly much closer. Manyao pursed his lips and laughed, suddenly feeling happy. Zong Zheng frowned, but listened to her: "I didn't say I didn't want to, you said it." ”
Zong Zheng's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his eyes, but he still maintained an indifferent and meaningless expression, as if she was willing to stay in the palace or not, and he didn't care at all. Man Yao was still chuckling, and then there was a voice at the door: "I've seen Princess Rong Le!" ”
