Chapter Twenty-Five: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
Seeing the shopkeeper walking downstairs, Ruan Tingge found that Lingyu and Banxia were still standing behind him, so he said, "You two come and sit." ”
"The slave doesn't dare," Lingyu was startled and hurriedly said.
Ruan Qingge raised her eyebrows and teased, "Why, my dear Sister Lingyu, you don't even listen to me now?" ”
Lingyu stared left and right with round eyes, and whispered with a bitter face, "My county lord, this is outside, and when others see it, they will definitely feel that the slave has eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and she is so respectful and inferior." ”
Ruan Tingge couldn't help laughing a few times when she heard what she said interesting, but she was very unimpressed, "Let the two of you sit, then sit down, don't be there." ”
Lingyu was still squirming there, heheha
Seeing this, Ruan Tingge gave up the idea of letting the two of them sit down, reluctantly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked out the window.
West Street is bustling, with a large flow of people, and the cries of small vendors come and go, which can be heard very clearly on the second floor of the restaurant.
Ruan Tingge sipped the flower tea, the tea is fragrant in the mouth, the taste is sweet but not greasy, the aftertaste is hooking, and the taste is excellent. While drinking tea, she felt the autumn breeze on her cheeks, and listened to the sound of market life in the distance, and her mood couldn't help but feel a little lighter.
There was another sound of footsteps in the stairwell, accompanied by the shopkeeper's words with a smile, "The elegant seat has been reserved for you, please come with the little one." ”
Ruan Tingge turned his head and glanced at it casually, and his eyes suddenly froze.
The man who came up with the shopkeeper, dressed in a green embroidered robe, holding a silver-white folding fan, with a gentle and handsome appearance, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and a warm and amiable temperament, was Ling Chengyu, the seventh prince.
Seeing that the enemy in his previous life was not far away, Ruan Tingge's pupils tightened, and the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but exert himself, "Smack!" The porcelain teacup shattered, and hot tea spilled on her hand.
"Ahh Are you alright? Lingyu exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe Ruan Tingge's hands with a handkerchief.
Banxia was also shocked, and hurriedly came over to inspect Ruan Tingge's hand, "Don't burn it, it's really amazing." ”
"It's okay," Ruan Qingge was unsettled, and he didn't care about the word "county lord" shouted by Lingyu, just stared at Ling Chengyu tightly.
The movement here was not small, and it had already alarmed the people who went upstairs, and Ling Chengyu looked over here.
I saw a girl in white sitting by the window, with delicate skin, about the prime of her life, although with a hint of childishness, her complexion was beautiful and beautiful, and she had a light spirit.
Ling Chengyu is a beauty who loves this kind of temperament, and he couldn't help but move his brows, and his eyes were slightly bright.
The girl seemed to have spilled the tea, the teacup was torn and poured on the table, and the two maidservants were wiping her, but she was unaware of it, looking straight at Ling Chengyu.
The eyes of the two were intertwined, his eyes seemed to be very gentle, but Ruan Tingge could clearly see the indifference and coldness hidden in them.
Ling Chengyu found that the girl had been staring at him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but deepen, he put away the fan and walked in this direction.
Ruan Qingge retracted his gaze at this time, and said to Lingyu as if nothing had happened, "Let Xiao Er come over and clean up the table." ”
She glanced down at her right hand, the back of her right hand was a little red from the tea, but it was fine.
Seeing that the girl lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little shy, Ling Chengyu slowed down her pace.
The private seat where Ling Chengyu often sat was a table away from Ruan Tingge, and when he passed Ruan Tingge, he glanced at her lightly, Ruan Tingge noticed something, but turned his head to look out the window.
After Ling Chengyu sat down, he looked at the back of the girl in white in front of him, recalling the scene just now, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart, the little girl looked at him just now with a look that seemed to be a little strange, as if it was very complicated.
Ling Chengyu was suspicious and sensitive by nature, so he couldn't help but think about it a little, but he didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and laugh a little, he was a little too nervous recently.
He looked at the plain-clothed figure in front of him, and thought in his heart that he would ask the restaurant later, which lady this girl was from.
Ruan Tiange's hands were still a little trembling, and Lingyu on the side accused the shopkeeper who came over, "What's the matter with the teacup in your restaurant, it suddenly cracked, and it burned our young lady." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm really sorry, the little one will immediately change a new set of tea sets to the guest officer, and the guest officer's meal fee will be free in our restaurant today." ”
"Who cares about that money," Lingyu was still angry, "Do you know us..."
"Spiritual Rain!" Ruan Tingge whispered, "Don't say it," she shook her head slightly, "This matter has nothing to do with anyone else, and besides, I'm fine." ”
Lingyu was a little unwilling, but he still obediently closed his mouth and stood beside Ruan Tiange again.
The table was quickly cleaned up, and a few side dishes were also delivered, Ruan Tingge felt that the eyes behind her had been on her, only to feel that the thorns were on her back, and she was a little absent-minded while eating the food.
She didn't expect that she would meet Ling Chengyu so soon, and she was still not ready to face him with any attitude.
Thinking of his gentleness and intimacy with him in his previous life, and thinking of the final indifference and cruel betrayal, Ruan Tingge still felt a slight cramp in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but lose his mind.
She calmed down the ups and downs in her heart, put down her chopsticks, and took a sip of tea.
Feeling the power of her hand holding the teacup, and thinking of the light skills she had practiced hard for more than a month, she couldn't help but feel a little calmer in her heart.
She said to herself in her heart, this is already a new life, why should I be afraid or suffer? I have embarked on a different path, and the wicked people who want to harm me and my family should be scared and frightened.
Her eyes slowly hardened.
The heaviness in her heart was swept away in her self-suggestion, and she ignored the vague scrutiny behind her back, and continued to enjoy the food in the restaurant peacefully.
Watching the girl leave with her two servants, Ling Chengyu took a sip of tea and beckoned to the side.
Soon, a man in gray came over, bent down and whispered, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
"Where did the woman in white come from?" The corners of Ling Chengyu's mouth were still smiling, but his eyes had faded, and he no longer had the gentleness in front of people, and he seemed to ask casually.
"Please let your subordinates ask."
The man in gray returned soon after leaving, and said, "The carriage that the young lady is riding in belongs to the Ruan family and is engraved with the Ruan family crest, and the coachman is a servant of the Fenyang Palace, so it can be seen that the young lady should be the daughter of the Ruan family's head and the king of Fenyang." ”
"What a coincidence." Ling Chengyu raised his eyebrows, his interest increased, and his fingers tapped the table one by one, "I just don't know which daughter of the King of Fenyang is." ”
Thinking of the banquet in Mengfu on the second day of October, Ling Chengyu's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
