Chapter 60: A Gesture of Effort
Two years later.
Kaqi Continent, Chu State.
Jiang Yuchen has been in Chu for two years and accompanied Gong Lingxi for two years, these two years have been dull, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still His Royal Highness the Prince, Chu Lifeng is still Chu Lifeng, Ye Yun is the same as before, Bai Weiwei has not changed anything.
It's just that Ye Yun's identity as the first talented woman in the Imperial City is gone, and she has become the second, and the first is Gong Lingxi.
Over time, everyone knows that there is a woman in the Prime Minister's Mansion who is peerless, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately she has a withdrawn personality and is indifferent, and no one dares to come to the door to propose marriage, and she has not married yet.
The Tianxiang Pavilion of the imperial city is famous, and many people in the rivers and lakes gather on the first floor.
"Have you heard? This year's Oiran Contest is different from previous years, and the rewards are even more generous. ”
"It's just a group of Qinglou women, what's new, according to me, I'm still more interested in the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Which daughter? There is a left prime minister and a right prime minister in this imperial city, which daughter are you talking about? ”
"Naturally, it's the daughter of the palace family who is as cold as ice."
"You can get it, people who can't even be imagined by His Royal Highness the Prince, are you still thinking about it?"
At a table in the distance, Gong Lingxi was wearing a hat and a gauze robe, sitting opposite Jiang Yuchen.
Hearing these gossips, she only frowned slightly, and said nothing else. It's been like this for two years, and now I'm used to it.
"Little Er, a pot of wine." Jiang Yuchen said indifferently.
Gong Lingxi said worriedly: "This trip is far away, so it's better for Jiang Gongzi not to drink." ”
Xiao Er answered and happily took the wine. As soon as I looked at the dress of Gong Lingxi and Jiang Yuchen, I knew that they were rich and noble.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yuchen smiled lightly and glanced at Gong Lingxi, "You don't have to drink." ”
Jiang Yuchen has been in the Chu State for two years, and in the past two years, he has traveled all over the Chu State, and now he is going back.
Gong Lingxi opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
A pot of wine came up, Xiao Er filled the wine glasses for the two, he glanced at Jiang Yuchen, and said: "Two sons, my Tianxiang Pavilion has recently released a new dish, which can be tried for free, I wonder if the two of you are interested in tasting it?" ”
Jiang Yuchen said: "Take it." ”
"Okay."
Gong Lingxi glanced at Jiang Yuchen worriedly.
Jiang Yuchen stretched out his hand and took the wine glass in front of her, "You don't drink much, don't drink it." ”
"It's okay to have a drink." Gong Lingxi pressed his wrist and said clearly.
"But the dishes that the two sons ordered?" A woman in a purple veil walked up, she was slender, dressed in a purple dress, holding a plate of side dishes in her hand, and asked softly.
At a glance, it looks like a beautiful embryo.
"Hmm." Gong Lingxi responded, "Put it here." ”
The woman's eyes were as bright as a galaxy, and when she looked closely, there seemed to be stars hidden inside, and Gong Lingxi couldn't help but ask more, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”
The woman in purple laughed lightly, "The little girl's name is Ruyan." ”
Her voice is not loud or small, just enough for the guests on the first floor of the restaurant to hear.
"Like smoke? Isn't the Oiran of the Flower Picking Building called Ruyan? She also likes to wear purple. ”
"Why did Ruyan run here to deliver vegetables, wasn't he driven out by the old bustard in the flower picking building?"
For a moment, the crowd was talking.
Ruyan's face was a little embarrassed, and he said a few sorry words to Gong Lingxi and wanted to leave, but when a drunk man heard the name Ruyan, he suddenly became angry and scolded: "Where is that bitch Ruyan?" ”
As soon as he looked up, he happened to see the purple clothes like smoke, his eyes burst with anger, and he threw the wine glass in his hand in a hurry.
He is a martial artist, and his internal strength is quite deep, if this wine glass is smashed like smoke, I am afraid that face will not be able to be saved.
At the last moment, Ruyan's body was dragged back, and she just missed the cup, and she was unsteady on her feet, and immediately fell into an embrace.
The white and purple staggered figures surprised everyone onlookers.
"Isn't that Jiang Gongzi? How can he be here. ”
"It's bad, Hu Tu, you moved Jiang Gongzi's woman."
Ruyan looked at the person in front of him with astonishment, dressed in white with a graceful demeanor, with delicate facial features like a person who came out of a painting, and there was a sea of stars in his eyes.
And the man looked at her just as much.
This scene happened to be seen by Xiao Yu, who had just entered the door.
Ruyan immediately came back to her senses, withdrew from Jiang Yuchen's arms, and said with a blushing face: "Thank you for saving your life, Ruyan is grateful." ”
"It's just a matter of effort, don't remember it." Jiang Yuchen let go of her and walked back to her place.
Gong Lingxi was still the same as before, but her face under the veil was covered with a layer of frost.
A short farce ended, and the person named Hu Tu, who had made trouble just now, was also invited out by the innkeepers.
Xiao Yu immediately ran in, walked to Gong Lingxi's side, and whispered, "Miss, the master is looking for you." ”
She glanced at Jiang Yuchen dissatisfied, and felt extremely aggrieved for her young lady.
Gong Lingxi said lightly: "It's late." ”
Xiao Yu looked at her with hatred, she didn't understand what happened just now, how could she still have the heart to eat now, Jiang Gongzi hugged other women just now!
Gong Lingxi picked up the wine glass full of wine and drank it all.
Jiang Yuchen glanced at her, and when she saw that she was going to pour another glass, she hurriedly stopped her and said softly, "Ling Xi, you can't drink anymore." ”
"You're leaving today, I'll be fine if I drink more." Gong Lingxi said indifferently.
If you say goodbye to Tianxiang Pavilion today, you may not see you again in this life.
She drank a few more glasses in succession, making Xiao Yu on the side anxious and annoyed, seeing that Gong Lingxi was really going to get drunk, she hurriedly said: "Miss, the master still has important things to discuss with you, don't get drunk." ”
Gong Lingxi put down his wine glass, looked at Jiang Yuchen opposite, and said lightly: "Master Jiang, there is still something at home, so I will not accompany you." ”
"Take care."
Gong Lingxi nodded and said, "Take care." ”
When she left, I was afraid that she would never see him again.
Xiao Yu helped Gong Lingxi to the door of Tianxiang Pavilion, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yuchen again, Jiang Yuchen drank with her head sullen, raised her head and glanced at Ruyan who had just come out.
"Miss, let's go." Xiao Yu followed her gaze, her heart twitched again, and she hurriedly urged.
The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was waiting outside, Gong Lingxi got into the carriage, her face had returned to calm, Xiaoyu sat beside her, and complained: "That Jiang Gongzi really doesn't know what to do, Miss Vain has always been in love with him, he is actually that kind of person." ”
"Shut up."
"Miss, you're still fighting for him!" Xiao Yu blushed angrily, "It's been two years, you're still like this, what's so good about him." ”
