Chapter 7 Fragrance Painting Boat

I accompanied His Royal Highness King Qi to walk on the street, King Qi asked me about the surrounding scenery with great interest, although I am not particularly familiar with these, I can basically say it, but in order to get to the Qinhuai River must pass through the Qinhuai Street where the wind and moon are the most prosperous, the lights on both sides are bright, all the Qinglou wine shops are open, there are turtle slaves standing in front of the door, many women with bright makeup in front of the door Yingsheng Yanyu to solicit guests, our group of people are all good-looking, especially the King of Qi is wearing a brocade robe, his bearing is extraordinary, it is the appearance of the benefactor of the Qinglou. So many turtle slaves want to entangle, but I found that more than a dozen men in ordinary clothes intentionally or unintentionally surrounded us, pushed those people away, and faintly protected the three of us. I know in my heart that these people must be the guards of the King of Qi, that is, a dignified prince traveling, how can he not have the protection of the guards, since he already has a guard, I don't have to worry about security. This relaxation could not even make me nervous by the embarrassing sights on both sides of the road.

It didn't take long to walk, and then came to the Qinhuai River, on this particularly wide river, there were more than ten large and small painting boats, one of which was the most huge, and the lights were brilliant, but there was no sound of silk and bamboo piano rhyme, guessing fists and fighting wine like other painting boats. We walked to the river, where there were some small speedboats, and I shouted to a slender boatwoman, "Boatman, take us to the Fragrance Painting Boat." The boat lady looked up and smiled: "A few masters are late, I'm afraid that the Piaoxiang painting boat is full today, and I don't see that the red light has begun to hang on the painting boat, which is full, and it will soon be anchored." ”

King Qi looked at me angrily, but I said calmly: "We have already booked a seat, thank you for the boatman's suggestion." King Qi's face softened. The three of us got into the speedboat, and then a dozen or so guards who were secretly protecting also got into the speedboat, and the speedboat passed through the river left and right, and in a moment we were in front of the boat. After boarding the painting boat, a gorgeous and hot middle-aged woman with a very beautiful posture and dress greeted her warmly, smiled before saying a word, and said hello: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhuangyuanlang, the slave family heard that Zhuangyuanlang had booked a cabin, and thought it was someone impersonating, who doesn't know that Lord Jiang doesn't like our Fengyue places the most." ”

I took my eyes off the snow white on her chest, and said with a smile: "Yan Niang said that I laughed, I am a little Hanlin, how can I have gold and silver to Piaoxiang Painting Boat, today I am accompanying the distinguished guests to meet Piaoxiang Girl, Yanniang has to serve well." As soon as she saw Li Xian, she knew that there was a rare high-roller, and immediately smiled, and bowed down in front of King Qi, saying: "The distinguished guest is far away, Yan Niang is late to greet her, and please forgive me, this-" Her eyes drifted to me, and I said knowingly: "This is Li Gongzi, this is Qin Gongzi." Yan Niang said coquettishly: "Two distinguished guests, please come in, today the girl is in a good mood, if you are lucky, you can also get the favor of Piaoxiang." ”

The three of us were ushered into a spacious and elegant cabin by Yan Niang, and the other guards were led to a nearby cabin, accompanied by our own maids. This cabin is beautiful and elegant, it is brightly lit, there is a large round table near the window, most of the other space is empty, it seems to be a place for singing and dancing, there is a small door on the right side of the cabin, there is a beaded curtain on the door, and there is a bedroom in it, it seems that this is really a good cabin. On both sides of the door stood eight delicate-looking maids, who came up to take off their cloaks for the three of them, and the three of them sat down at the table, all of them sat in the direction of the window, and then those maids came and went like butterflies wearing flowers, and in a moment they put tea and wine on the table, and then the three most beautiful maids sat next to the three, and the original Yanniang arranged for the three of them to have two vacant seats on both sides, so that everyone could hug each other, but the beautiful Qin Gongzi refused her kindness and sat beside the King of Qi, Yan Niang is well-informed and naturally does not show any abnormality, but I trembled in my heart, this can't be true, that Qin Gongzi is a prostitute, he was just suspicious before, and this time I was really cold. That Qin Gongzi seemed to notice my abnormality, and looked at me coldly, his eyes full of murderous energy. When he turned around, I breathed a sigh of relief, and made up my mind that I must get a few masters by my side in the future, Xiao Shunzi is not a free body after all, but what about going there to find a loyal guard, there really is such a person who will not come to follow the orders of my little Hanlin.

We drank slowly in the company of the maids, waiting for the arrival of the girl Piaoxiang, the maids seemed to be a little uneasy, no wonder they, the king of Qi is indeed a graceful man, from time to time his hands and eyes are warm, that Qin Gongzi looked cold, ignoring the maids around him, and staring at the maids beside King Qi with vicious eyes from time to time. I just politely and respectfully stayed away, so that they were at a loss, when the embarrassment, the hatch was pushed open, a beautiful woman walked in, the woman was as beautiful as the mountains and rivers of the pretty face without fat powder, the crystal white skin with a faint flush, as if just out of the bath, her black glow like a waterfall can be seen, the eyes are black and white, as bright as the brightest star in the night, she is wearing a wide and loose robe, her figure is also delicate and graceful among the women of Southern Chu, if you talk about appearance and temperament, although this woman is beautiful, it is still common, but it is the most rare kind of natural posture of charming bones.

The woman walked in softly, sat opposite the three of them, her beautiful eyes flowed, and said: "The three distinguished guests came to see Piaoxiang for the first time, but Piaoxiang came so late, it really made the three of them wait for a long time. "That voice sounded like a **** bone erosion, Qin Gongzi and I couldn't help but blush, and even Li Xian, the king of Qi, also showed a strange look on his face. The woman's eyes stopped on King Qi for a moment, and said with a smile: "Piaoxiang heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a rare hero, and he is a heroic hero who pities incense and cherishes jade, why is he so shy today." "I'm not surprised that Liu Piaoxiang would guess Li Xian's identity, but I want to see Li Xian's reaction.

Li Xian was a little surprised at first, but immediately laughed and said, "Oh, you little woman is smart when you arrive, have you ever seen this king?" ”

Liu Piaoxiang saw that Li Xian did not hide it, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and replied: "Although His Royal Highness is wearing the clothes of Nanchu, he probably doesn't like silk shoes, and he still wears brocade boots that Dayong nobles love to wear, not to mention the demeanor and courage of the prince, during this time, the slave family has long heard that His Royal Highness King Qi has come to Jianye, if His Royal Highness does not come, he will let Piaoxiang pity himself." It's this Jiang Hanlin, but it's rare to see, if it weren't for accompanying His Royal Highness, I'm afraid that Piaoxiang hasn't had a chance to see him so far. ”

I was a little surprised, I once took Liu Piaoxiang's post and invited me to visit the Piaoxiang Painting Boat, but my bag was empty, so I politely resigned. Gongzi Qin originally looked at King Qi with some annoyance, but at this time, he looked at me with a smile, and seemed to be very happy about my rejection of Liu Piaoxiang. I hurriedly said: "Miss Liu said that she laughed, the Xiaguan family has no permanent property, how can she be qualified to come here." ”

Liu Piaoxiang stood up, stood up, sat beside me, hugged my arm and said: "Really, is it true that the champion is not a true love for us Qinglou women, can't Piaoxiang like the talent of the champion and promise each other?" "I almost laughed, if Liu Piaoxiang doesn't love money, how can he become the first Oiran of Jianye, I know that many dignitaries and nobles in Jianye are Liu Piaoxiang's guests, but I heard that this Liu Piaoxiang is indeed a strange woman, and she can't get her without tens of millions of family wealth, but with money and power, you may not be able to get Liu Piaoxiang, the uncle of the lord of the country, Zhao Delong, the king of Han, once came to Piaoxiang Painting Boat, and he had to stay overnight, who knew that Liu Piaoxiang didn't like him, no matter how Han Delong pleased, he refused to keep him, In the end, Zhao Delong was forced by power, but Liu Piaoxiang would rather die than give in, Zhao Delong was inconvenient to use force and had to leave, and later repeatedly wanted to embarrass Liu Piaoxiang, but he gave up because of Liu Piaoxiang's many benefactors. Later, someone asked her, although King Han is over fifty years old, his appearance and energy are still outstanding, why are you unwilling to give in? Liu Piaoxiang sneered: "Although the slave family is a lowly woman, she still knows what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are, that Zhao Delong led the army to fight back then, he was timid and afraid of things and lost the battle, his subordinates fought desperately and saved his surname, but he took revenge, but impeached his subordinates for not obeying the general's orders, delaying the military plane, and sentenced him to beheading. These words spread out, everyone despised King Han, but they looked at Liu Piaoxiang differently, not long after, King Han died of depression, because of this Liu Piaoxiang is famous all over the world, this has become the first name of Jianye, in fact, no one is necessarily stronger than Liu Piaoxiang, but not as straightforward and chivalrous as her.

Although I also felt admiration when I heard this, if it weren't for the lack of gold and silver to wrap my head, I didn't dare to come to see her, and if I had known that she would not accept my money, I might have come to see her a long time ago. Probably seeing that I was intoxicated, the prince of Qin glanced at me with disdain, and his cold gaze immediately sobered me up, remembering that I was accompanying His Royal Highness King Qi. So I gently pulled out my arm and said respectfully, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

Liu Piaoxiang glanced at me angrily, stood up angrily, and walked to His Royal Highness King Qi's side, that kind of light and shallow anger moved the look, so that the three of us couldn't help but be stunned, and then Liu Piaoxiang didn't look at me again, just talked and laughed with His Royal Highness King Qi, and talked to Qin Gongzi from time to time, she was very clever, not only warm and kind, but also not too debauched, even the cold Qin Gongzi also brought a smile.

Liu Piaoxiang is really a peerless stunner, drank a few glasses of wine, she stood up and shouted, from the outside walked in a green-clothed maid, holding various musical instruments in her hands, dancing in the music, the demeanor is all directions, that seems to burn the enthusiasm of life dance made me completely intoxicated, and when I saw the look on Liu Piaoxiang's pretty face, I knew that she was putting her life into the dance, at this moment, I really moved her heart. When Liu Piaoxiang stopped, I saw that she also looked at me, looking at each other, Liu Piaoxiang suddenly showed a very happy look, and then walked to the King of Qi, sitting lazily beside him, that lazy beauty made people want to carry her to the bed immediately.

At this time, Yan Niang walked in and said with a smile: "It's late at night, please ask Master Jiang and Qin Gongzi to rest in the cabin next to you, if you have a favorite maid, you might as well ask them to accompany you." ”

I felt a little sour in my heart, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye, and asked His Royal Highness King Qi to rest well, that Qin Gongzi was stunned, and suddenly stood up and walked out. I hurriedly went out with me.

After sending the maid away, I lay on the bed in a comfortable but small cabin, my heart was full of the shadow of willow fragrance, listening to the murmuring sound of water outside the window, and I slowly fell into a deep sleep. When I was half asleep, I suddenly felt someone reaching out to untie my clothes, I felt a pang in my heart, it was not the King of Qi who came to attack me, I quickly opened my eyes, and was about to shout, but I saw a pretty face like a flower and jade, but it was Liu Piaoxiang, my body was soft, and I couldn't shout immediately, Liu Piaoxiang saw that I was awake, smiled, moved lightly, and took off his clothes in a moment, revealing a beautiful and delicate jade body, I slowly stretched out my hand and hugged her, but there was some hesitation, I said: "King Qi." Liu Piaoxiang snorted and said, "Don't you know, that Qin Gongzi is a woman, and before we have a wide coat, she couldn't help it, rushed in, and I gave them the room." Big champion, what are you waiting for. ”

Although I have learned the art of the room, but I have never really touched a woman, I don't know how to move for a while, Liu Piaoxiang will understand, backhand hugging me, I only feel a rumble in my head, unconsciously, the clothes faded, I felt the soft and warm female body entangled itself, I finally completely lost, fully devoted to the love of men and women.

When I fell asleep in exhaustion, Liu Piaoxiang closed her eyes and rested for a while, did it, picked up the clothes that were thrown on the ground and draped them on her body, and after a while I recruited two maids to come in, the two maids lightly bathed and changed clothes for me, although I had been awake for a while, but I was too lazy to move half a finger, and when I woke up, I was already lying on a clean bed, wearing incense pajamas, I looked at the sleeping Liu Piaoxiang next to me, my face was red all of a sudden, and I couldn't speak. Liu Piaoxiang opened her eyes and chuckled: "Champion Lang, why aren't you happy to be robbed of a child by me, a woman in the Qinglou?" I was even more red-faced, and only after a while did I say, "Will you marry me?" Liu Piaoxiang laughed sarcastically at first, but seeing my serious expression, she sighed and said, "No." ”

"Why, do you need a lot of silver, how much do you need, I will do it." I asked anxiously.

Liu Piaoxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "No, I have already earned enough money and redeemed my freedom." ”

I said gloomily: "So, if you refuse to marry me, is it because I am not qualified enough?" ”

Liu Piaoxiang asked in surprise: "You are a bachelor of Hanlin, even if I marry you as a concubine, it will inevitably affect your career, do you really want to marry me as a wife?" ”

I said lightly: "So what's the matter, it's a big deal that I resign, anyway, I'm not a very Tian official, I still have a little savings in the past few years, and it's still okay to buy hundreds of acres of land, but I'm afraid you don't like this kind of poor life." ”

Liu Piaoxiang showed an unintentional smile and said: "I know that you are sincere, and there is no hesitation, I have read countless people, and I have long had the intention of being good, but when I have earned enough money, I suddenly thought, who can I marry, those pretentious perverts, just that face I am disgusting, if it is an honest and good person and he is dull and boring, although there are a few people who make me fall in love, but as long as I think of marrying him, I will be old and decrepit, and I can't help but feel cold when I am abandoned by him." Alas, seeing you today, you really appreciate my dancing, I can see that you know how much effort I put into my dancing art, so I recommend myself to the pillow, fortunately the gentleman treats me sincerely, but no, Piaoxiang's surname is frivolous, I can't teach my husband and children, I'm like a swallow in the south of the Yangtze River, I like prosperity, I like freedom, I can no longer be locked up in a cage, Jiang Lang, after Piaoxiang or read all the men in the world, but Jiang Lang must remember that Piaoxiang's favorite is always you, you can't dislike Piaoxiang, occasionally come to see me well. ”

My heart hurts, I can hear that Liu Piaoxiang is telling the truth, without the slightest deception, such a peculiar woman, there is really no man who can keep her. Holding her slender hand, he said: "Piaoxiang is famous in Jinghua, although Jiang Zhe has a small official position, if he often comes to get together, he will inevitably cause trouble, today he will say goodbye, although it is not goodbye, it is also rare to see each other again, Piaoxiang, Piaoxiang, you and I forget each other in the rivers and lakes, it is better than foaming each other, if we meet later, you don't think of me as a passerby." ”

Liu Piaoxiang's delicate body shook, she knew the young man's intentions, he would not be satisfied with the secret communication with her, if he couldn't marry her, he wouldn't come to her again, but she was already satisfied, in a life of hypocrisy, she finally got a true love.

When I walked out of the cabin, I saw the satisfied King Qi and the Qin Gongzi who was blushing and didn't dare to see anyone, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, let's go back to the post station early to rest." King Qi looked at me and said with a smile: "How is it, was the spring breeze proud last night?" ”

I muttered to myself, does he know that I am with Piaoxiang? I just smiled faintly, looking mysterious, King Qi looked at me suspiciously, it seems that he was busy picking flowers last night, and his guards should also be in Fengliu. When I stepped on the riverbank, I couldn't help but look back, the incense painting boat was very quiet, and my first love was buried there.

After sending King Qi and them back, I hurried back to my residence and saw a note on the table, which read, "Last night was happy, I don't know if anyone was looking at me, King Qi is this person, his heart is unpredictable, and I have dealt with the person who is watching."

My hand shook, Xiao Shunzi is really loyal, but I don't know what I can do, so he has to treat it like this.

At this moment, inside the post house, King Qi's face sank like water, and there was a guard with a ashamed face standing at the bottom of the steps. King Qi said coldly: "You said you didn't spy on Jiang Zhe, why?" The guard said with a frightened face: "Your Highness atoned for your sins, the minister was originally ordered to monitor Jiang Zhe in the cabin opposite, but somehow he suddenly fell asleep. King Qi's expression became even more grim, but he didn't blame him, just let him go down.

Qin Gongzi, who was sitting next to him, said lightly: "I have already checked, he was ordered by someone." Being able to click on his acupoint in such a small place without noticing, this person's martial arts are at least above mine. King Qi said suspiciously: "But I don't think Jiang Zhe knows martial arts, could it be that he has reached the realm of reversing the truth." Qin Gongzi frowned slightly, thought for a long time and said: "There are only three people in the world who have reached that realm, such as the family teacher, the Cizhen Elder of the Shaolin Temple, and the sect master of the Demon Gate, Jing Wuji, this Jiang Zhe is so young, I never believe that he can reach this realm." King Qi said thoughtfully: "Second brother and Liang Wan want me to pay attention to this Jiang Zhe, I didn't think so, but when I saw it before, I felt that this person was unfathomable, and what happened last night made me even more difficult to understand." Nan Chu Junjie is really extraordinary, fortunately, fortunately, this person is obscure, and it seems that he will not become an obstacle for us. “

Qin Gongzi bowed his head and said, "If you think he is troublesome, I can help you." “

Li Xian shook his head and said: "How can such a character be killed easily, besides, we may not succeed." With that, there was a gleam in his eyes.
