Chapter 39: I Can't Afford to Lose This Man
Today's Moon Lake is very lively.
The Yin of Jingzhao Mansion built a huge high platform at the mouth of the diving bend, and the literati who wrote poems at the closing banquet were eligible to come up and leave their poems on the fine rice paper prepared on the stage, and they were bound into a booklet and left in Shanglin Yuan for people to enjoy.
The people waited by the lake early, and in order to show their compassion for the people, several princes united their party officials to build pergolas and provide free herbal tea to those who came to enjoy the poems.
Naturally, the most important thing is the security of the poetry club.
Because of the arrival of the Holy Lord, almost all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital will attend the closing poetry meeting, especially the female relatives who came several times more than in previous days.
Those who have not yet come out of the cabinet show off their makeup like water hibiscus, like fairies, one to cater to the elegance of the poetry club, and the other is the most important purpose - if they can enter the eyes of the saint, or the favor of any prince, they can fly up the branches and find a higher backer for themselves and the family!
In the bustling crowd, the Seventh Prince Chu Duyu shuttled back and forth with two guards, tiptoeing around from time to time, looking for someone.
"Why hasn't the boy come yet? Obviously, today is the last day of the poetry meeting. The young man pouted, turned his head, and saw that the carriage of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion was parked there under the willow tree.
The picture of Su Yue galloping on a cold horse that day flashed in his mind, and the ghost moved away from the crowd and came over.
"Childe!"
As soon as he approached, he heard a sweet voice, it was Su Yanran who was getting out of the carriage.
"I didn't expect to see Childe here, we're really fated!" The corners of Su Yanran's mouth couldn't hide a coquettish smile, and the beauty in her heart bubbled.
Chu Duyu had a question mark on his face. "Su Dacai, we know each other very well?"
"Childe, you are really ...... How can you speak so bluntly to a lady! Su Yanran's face was full of shyness, and a pair of apricot eyes couldn't stop discharging at him.
She knew that this son must have wanted to create a chance encounter to see her, and he had to pretend to be face-saving when he was caught by himself, which really made her feel good.
Look at him today, he is dressed in a blue collared robe, his sideburns are like knives, his thick eyebrows are like ink, he is heroic, unruly, and full of manliness, which is really very different from the gentle and elegant Brother Merlot!
"Huh! Su Yue Leng! You're here! β
Just as she was about to ask for someone's name, she saw the young man in front of her turn his head and look at the person she hated the most.
Su Yue Leng!
How do they know each other?!
Su Yueleng jumped out of the carriage cleanly, and couldn't help frowning when she heard the familiar voice.
"Chu Duyu, why are you still ghostly?"
"Ugh." Chu Duyu didn't expect Su Yueleng to be so cold as soon as she came up, she was stunned for a moment, and felt that her words sounded familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"Hey, why is this little girl talking so unforgivingly, I just happened to see you come to say hello, and I didn't come to wait for you!" Chu Duyu snorted heavily, he also has a temper!
Su Yue looked at his arrogant appearance coldly, and only felt funny, but then remembered the future when this guy was killed by the emperor's plan, and her heart couldn't bear it, and her attitude eased slightly.
"I'm sorry, I just don't like this kind of atmosphere of literati poetry and painting, and I feel annoyed when I look at it."
"Haha, I see! That's a coincidence! I hate it too, sir! Chu Duyu suddenly felt that this girl looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, and stepped forward to hook up with her, but was forced back by Su Ye's cold gaze on the side, and the arm that had just stretched out was forced back.
"Sister, do you know this son? Why don't you introduce it to Yanran! Su Yanran took a step forward, the light in her eyes flickering.
Su Yue glanced at Su Ye and Yang Rong coldly, the two adults were greeting several adults, and no one paid attention to them, so they suddenly had a bad heart.
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. "No, I can't afford to lose that person."
After speaking, she watched Su Yanran's smiling face burst with a trace of ruthlessness, and she smiled even brighter.
"Chu Duyu, there's a pitcher to play there, why don't you go together?"
"Just what I want! Let's go! Chu Duyu's temperament was unexpectedly hearty, he didn't take Su Yanran seriously at all, and left after Su Yueleng, leaving Su Yanran standing alone by the carriage and trembling with anger!
Bastard! Slut! He embarrassed her in front of his admirers!
"Miss." The heart timidly spoke. "Just now, the eldest lady called that son Chu Duyu, surnamed Chu, that is the emperor's surname!"
Su Yanran's apricot eyes were round, yes! Why didn't she think of it just now?
Then that man is......
Coincidentally, Chu Meiluo saw that the carriage of the Hou Mansion was also looking for him, originally wanted to find Su Yueleng to cultivate feelings, but was caught by Su Yanran, and before he could open his mouth, he had no choice but to appease the little beauty in his arms first.
Lakeside β
Pitching area β
Su Yueleng made a shot with a precise shot, and soon only Chu Duyu was the only one who competed together.
She had so much fun that she didn't notice the slightest strange look in the crowd and the small chatter.
"Look at the white fox lying on her shoulder, it's a monster! It will suck people's spirit! β
"Shh
"I'm not talking nonsense, yesterday this girl took the fox spirit to the new barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, and after a while, several broken legs and arms were carried out, I saw it with my own eyes! They all said that they were injured by the vixen, and they also said that this little girl instigated it! β
"How can a little girl's family have such a murderous heart? Isn't it that the body has been invaded by evil spiritsβahhh β
Before they could finish their sentences, an arrow flew over, scaring them half to death.
"What are you guys chewing on here? Is the master deaf? β
Chu Duyu shouted forward, and the crowd immediately made a way, and no one dared to provoke this little overlord of the capital.
When the gossiping men saw that it was Chu Duyu, their faces instantly turned pale with fright.
"Chu Duyu, leave them alone, I have less notoriety over the years? You see when I put my eyes on it. Su Yue glanced at it coldly, shrugged her shoulders and sneered, shook her wrist, and threw another pot into it. If you don't work harder, you're going to lose to me! β
The boy pursed his lips and glared at the men with warning before going back. "Let the master hear you talking nonsense again, be careful of your tongue!"
A few men were afraid that Chu Duyu would change his mind and turn back, so they hurriedly retreated out of the crowd, muttering as they retreated that the Seven Princes must have also been dazzled by the fox spirit, otherwise how could this little overlord listen to a little girl's words?
When the surroundings returned to calm, Su Yue's cold eyes darkened, and when Chu Duyu threw the pot, he turned his head and commanded the shocking rain. "Go check those people, Miss Ben doesn't believe it."
"Yes."
The convulsive rain was Su Ye's strong guard for Su Yueleng, and since she stayed by her side, she had to make good use of it.
"Hey little girl, do you want me to help you?" Chu Duyu patted his chest. "Master, I am a tyrant in the capital, if you recognize me as the boss, you can cover you in the future!"
Su Yue sneered, this guy really recognizes the little brother when he sees someone!
"No need." His eyes were slightly empty, and Su Yueleng threw two arrows with one hand, and with a bang, all hit!
In the admiration of the audience, Su Yueleng raised the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly. "Miss Ben can't admit that her subordinates are defeated and become the boss."
"Huh! Then we can be brothers! β
"You're the prince, I don't dare."
"Don't, why are you so stubborn little girl!"
The two of them kept shuttling through several crowd amusement spots by the lake to play, and they got along unexpectedly well, but this scene was particularly eye-catching when it fell on the sight of someone in the plum blossom pavilion on the rockery.
"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, this Seventh Prince's vision is really unique!" Qiu Wuxian raised the wine glass and drank it all, but the narrow Danfeng eyes revealed a ridiculous sight.
"It's unique." Jun Jiuli pondered for a moment, came back to his senses, and frowned at the red-robed man sitting on the railing. "You think she's special, too?"
Qiu Wuxian didn't expect Jun Jiuli to suddenly ask back, blinking, and the wine in his throat was almost stuck.
"I'm just saying that this Seventh Prince doesn't take a fancy to his own brother's woman." Qiu Wuxian shook his finger from the wine glass. "Isn't that eldest lady of the Hou Mansion the prospective princess of the Third Prince?"
Hearing this, Jun Jiuli unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a kind of relief that his inner emotions had not been spied on, but when he thought about it, he frowned again.
He almost forgot that this little girl still had a marriage contract on her.
The subtle changes in the expression on Jun Jiuli's face did not escape Qiu Wuji's eyes, and the bewitching man smiled evilly, and the eyes that looked at the agile figure below were a little more interesting.
