Chapter 70: The Second Prince
In the VIP room on the second floor of the Flower Shadow Pavilion, the atmosphere is a bit dignified.
There was a man in his twenties sitting in the first place, dressed gorgeously and richly, with a fairly handsome face, but at this time, that handsomeness was completely covered by the anger on his face.
This person is the second prince of Xue Xi Kingdom, Xue Ji.
"Bang!" slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, Xue Ji glanced at the attendant beside him, and said impatiently: "This person, is he coming or not?" ”
The attendant was a middle-aged man in his forties, who said he was a man, but he had a white face and red lips, and he had no masculinity.
Seeing that his master was angry, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the money has been collected, if she dares not to come, will this Flower Shadow Pavilion be wanted?" ”
The voice of the exit was sharp and soft, and it was clearly a eunuch.
Qiao Song was originally a close eunuch by Concubine Rou's side, she brought it from her mother's house, and Xue Ji followed him when she became an adult, and she was sleek and shrewd. Xue Ji is not a trouble-free master, and there are a lot of things in and out of the palace, but they are all handled by him properly. So Xue Ji relied on and respected him very much, and called him Uncle Qiao in private.
No, listening to Qiao Song say this at this time, Xue Ji didn't speak, but she was still a little unhappy.
Qiao Song continued: "Your Highness, this girl's family always has to clean up and dress up when she sees guests, not to mention that the person she wants to meet is you, the second prince, so you must be even more cautious. ”
"Hmph." Xue Ji snorted coldly and turned her gaze outside.
Looking out of the VIP room on the second floor, you can see the stage in the main hall downstairs very well, and now there is dancing on it, but in the face of those bewitching women, he is bored at this time.
Now all he could think about was the red figure just now, and the melodious sound of the piano seemed to still echo in his ears, and he couldn't wait to see her.
He had already heard of the name of Yunjin, but because of the Li'er incident a year ago, he was ordered by his mother not to step into the Flower Shadow Pavilion again, otherwise he would be forbidden to leave the palace. He had thought of many ways, and even wanted people to tie Yun Jin to the palace to meet him, but he was stopped by Qiao Song.
This time it was easy to talk about it, and the mother concubine had long forgotten what happened a year ago, so Qiao Song agreed to let him come to see Yunjin secretly.
Just a glance from the audience, that figure was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he thought at that time that it would be worth it to see such a beautiful woman, even if he was scolded by his mother after knowing about it.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, his mood became irritable again, he looked at the closed door, and said impatiently: "Why don't you come yet, Uncle Qiao, do you want to ......"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Childe, Yunjin is here." ”
This is the voice of the shadow girl.
Xue Ji was overjoyed in her heart, and almost stood up, and only stabilized her body after seeing Qiao Song's warning, but her face couldn't hide her joy.
Qiao Song shook his head helplessly, walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door, the shadow girl was still dressed in red and wearing a veil of Yunjin.
Qiao Song glanced at Yunjing, who was hanging his head, and said with a serious face: "Why did you come here and let my master wait for so long?" ”
Ying Niang hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my girl is a little unwell, so in order to better serve her son, I took a little rest." “
As she spoke, she pulled Yun Jin to the front and advised, "Come in quickly, make a good deal with Gongzi." ”
Yun Jin didn't speak, just blessed his body, and then walked in with the guqin in his arms.
Ever since she appeared at the door, Xue Ji's eyes have been staring at this red figure, watching her step into the door and slowly walk in front of him, without even moving her eyes.
"Yun Jin made Gongzi wait for a long time."
Gentle and calm, not humble and silent, Xue Jimeng's fierce spirit came back to his senses, swept away his previous impatience and anger, and said with a smile: "Soon, soon, Miss Yunjin, please." “
If it weren't for Qiao Song still looking at him, he would have almost gotten up to greet him.
"Ahem...... Qiao Song was a little speechless when he saw that the master of this monkey was anxious, and coughed lightly: "Master, the slave is guarding outside, and he must return before Shen Shi." ”
The implication is that you can do what you have to do, and hurry up.
Xue Ji waved his hand, Qiao Song exited the room and closed the door, finding that Ying Niang was still at the door, and glanced at it coldly, "You go down." ”
"Ah, yes, yes." The shadow girl responded, but her eyes were still looking at the closed door uneasily, the smile on her face was stiff, and the whole person seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Not leaving?" Qiao Song glared at her, his face unhappy.
"Let's go, let's go!" Ying Niang bit her lower lip, turned around and left with a wry smile, and walked away, but she couldn't help but glance back.
Her scared look was normal in Qiao Song's opinion.
Although last year's incident with Li'er was a violent death on the surface, and it had nothing to do with anyone, how could Ying Niang not know who did it, and she didn't dare to say it, it was just because of the identity of the second prince.
When there were only two people left in the house, Xue Ji immediately stood up and walked towards Yunjin, stretching out her hand as she walked, wanting to pull her.
But Yun Jin, who had been hanging his head down, didn't seem to see his movements, and naturally walked sideways to the piano stand on the side, just avoiding his outstretched hand.
A light veil swept through Xue Ji's fingertips, and he watched in a daze as Yun Jin put the guqin he was holding on the piano stand, and then sat down, then looked up at him.
"Childe, in order to apologize, how about Yun Jin play a song for the public first?" The eyes of the clouds are like water, as clear as the autumn sky, and as deep as the cold stars on a winter night.
Xue Ji was so seen by her, she had long ignored whether the avoidance just now was a coincidence or intention, and nodded again and again: "Okay, you can play." ”
As soon as he sat down at the table, he seemed to think of something again, "Miss Yunjin, it's just that you were wearing a veil outside just now, and there are only you and me at the moment, can't you take off the veil?" ”
Yun Jin, who was adjusting the strings, raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and he chuckled: "This song is played well, and it will naturally be taken off when I accompany my son to drink." ”
"That's great!" When Xue Ji heard this, she was immediately satisfied.
He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, but his eyes were staring straight at Yun Jin, watching her put her slender ten fingers on the strings, and then plucked slightly, and the melodious sound of the piano flowed out.
Yun Jin lowered his head most of the time, occasionally raised his head and smiled at him, even if he was wearing a veil, even if he could only see a pair of eyes, but every time he looked at her, it made Xue Ji feel numb.
This time, the song is not as varied as before, it has always been soothing and calm, like a stream trickling, and it is easy to immerse people in it. The sound of the piano came from the window on the second floor to the hall, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and their eyes invariably looked in the direction of the VIP room.
And Xue Ji, the hand holding the wine glass had stopped in mid-air for some time, and her eyes were still staring at Yun Jin, but the heat in her eyes was replaced by sluggishness, and she gradually became dazed.
Yun Jin looked up at Xue Ji again, and after noticing his strange appearance, the corners of his mouth covered by the veil were smug and hooked.
At this moment, her index finger of the string was forced, and the tone turned, and the sound of the piano became light and joyful, making people can't help but want to dance with it.
And someone did!
I saw Xue Ji, who was sitting in the position, suddenly stood up, showed a weird smile at Yun Jin, and then ...... Dance.
Qiao Song, who had been guarding the door, was also attracted by the sound of Yunjin's piano at first, and was completely immersed in it, until he came back to his senses until he had just turned the tone, and then heard something strange in the room.
But the sound of the piano inside is still the same, and Xue Ji doesn't make any sound, if he rushes in, he is afraid of causing the master's unhappiness, no matter what, he is just a minion.
Just as he was hesitating, Xue Ji's voice suddenly sounded inside, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, Yunjin girl, you play the piano, I dance, I'll dance for you, okay?" ”
Qiao Song frowned, this master is really getting more and more disagreeable.
The sound of the piano did not stop, and Yun Jin did not speak, but Xue Ji's voice sounded again, "Come on, let's dance together, let's dance together!" ”
"......" Qiao Song finally sensed that something was wrong, and no longer hesitated to push the door in.
But as soon as he entered, he heard an exclamation of "ah", and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
