There were still so many people watching under the platform, Xia Xiaoxiao's body sat back again, bit the pastry he handed over, and ate it obediently, but he didn't taste anything in his mouth.

"If you like to eat, I'll let the imperial dining room make some fresh ones for you."

Beigong Yu smiled with satisfaction, seeing that there was some powder on the corner of her mouth, he took the handkerchief handed over by Pingshun and leaned over, and wiped the powder on the corner of her mouth, until the dirty things that were not obvious at the corner of her mouth were wiped clean, and he smiled very dotingly, "Such a big person, how can you eat like a child?" ”

After speaking, he sat back with the handkerchief, slowly brushing his fingers, with a smile on his face, but Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't tell the emotions under his eyes, so he had to sit quietly and continue to look at the song and dance below.

On the side, Xia Yingxi was raising her hand to slowly fill a small glass of sake into the wine bottle, there was moonlight, and the moonlight dyed the wine in the green wine bottle a little green, she only lowered her eyes lightly, hooked the corners of her mouth upward, handed the wine bottle to her lips, raised her head, and drank it all.

Most of the wine in the palace is flirtatious accessories, not like those spirits outside the palace, even if Ji Lingnan drank a lot before, he still has a lot of sobriety at this time, not to mention that his alcohol consumption has always been good.

He and Xia Xiaoxiao are actually not quiet people, on the contrary, they will go wherever there are more people, but at this time, looking at the somewhat noisy scene in the pavilion, it was the first time that they were unhappy and irritable, and they went to a place in the imperial garden that was quite less crowded.

At this time, most people's attention in the imperial garden was focused on the gazebo, resulting in the light of the glass lamp in other places, but it was dim and tight, and he could barely rely on the barely bright moonlight in the summer sky to see things clearly, so as not to reach out and not see the purpose, Ji Lingnan only found a rockery and sat down, next to his hand happened to be a small stream made from the rockery, he rested with his back to close his eyes, and one hand hung down to the clear stream reflecting the bright moonlight, and the cold touch spread from the palm of his hand to the whole body, It's a lot more comfortable on a somewhat sultry night.

In four years, from Xia Xiaoxiao's entry into the palace, to Xia Xiaoxiao's various rumors that he has never been favored, and nearly a year ago, there was a conspiracy between Xia Xiaoxiao and Yunxiao to kill the first emperor, these deeds have already spread among the people, and naturally they did not fall into his ears, he knows too well what kind of person Xia Xiaoxiao is, although she is not stupid, but where can she deal with those conspiracies, not to mention that in the face of people like Beigong Yu and Ji Yunxiao, he doesn't need to guess much to know that Xia Xiaoxiao just fell into the trap of those people at that time.

Half a year ago, Beigong Yu announced that Xia Xiaoxiao was seriously ill, but he knew the facts, his father happened to bump into Xia Xiaoxiao when he went to Yue to march to fight, and he didn't know what happened during the period, but he could probably guess that Xia Xiaoxiao's original intention was not to stay in the palace at all.

From the first time she saw her again, Xia Xiaoxiao only thought that he was angry that she abandoned him and married Beigong Yu, but in fact, how could she know that what he was angry about was that since she left the imperial city, why did she come back, is it true that for her, the so-called love is really more important than her rivers and lakes? Just a Beigong Yu can be more important than the freedom she is looking forward to?

That kind of thing, he didn't believe that it would make Xia Xiaoxiao give up those.

He is not a woman like Xia Xiaoxiao, he was born with tenderness in his bones, and men are more chivalrous, righteous, and loveless in his bones, he has not had it, and he doesn't want to have it, the rivers and lakes are also the places he yearns for.

Ji Lingnan lowered his head, stared at his palm, and suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, but now he seemed to be heading towards a point of no return.

"Heh, I thought it was a lot of backbone, but it turned out that I came here to hide from alcohol."

A voice with contempt and sneer sounded from the side, he was a little drunk, and at first thought that Xia Xiaoxiao was looking for him again, but when his thoughts came back for two points, he realized that it was a man's unique voice.

Because he just wanted to come here to avoid some noisy and staggered sounds, he specially bypassed a small forest of trees and bamboos, and isolated the scene of sheng and singing, and then the man happened to come out of the bamboo forest, and most of his figures were blocked by the shadows under the bamboo forest, if he hadn't been here, he should have been able to detect the appearance of someone a long time ago.

"Hmph," Ji Lingnan looked at the figure who came specifically looking for him, snorted lightly, and put his foot on the stone steps as soon as he lifted it, his hand had been taken out of the clear stream, and rested on his knee casually, his eyes that were still a little hazy before were clear, staring at the figure who came over, the corners of his mouth hooked to one side, and in a blink of an eye, he put on that ruffian chuckle, "The person who called a little girl to smash the field, where can the backbone be hard?" ”

For the first time, Lu Wuxian felt that this matter did not seem to be very bright.

"What's the matter, I didn't lose enough in the casino, and now I'm coming to the door?"

After speaking, Ji Lingnan straightened up, straightened out the slightly messy clothes, the cyan corset was not like the long-sleeved wide robe like Murong Tinglian, but it looked capable and uninhibited, and even the hair was extremely neat, all of which were tied to the top of his head with a cyan and white jade crown, and a green hosta like bamboo was inserted obliquely, neatly and neatly, but his partial tone and every move looked like a gangster in the market.

Lu Wuxian stood there, standing with his hands in his hands, with a clear light in his eyes, "I am willing to gamble and lose, the three hundred taels of silver are indeed my loss to you, since you have now been awarded the title of five-grade captain by the emperor, you must not be a gangster who is too poor to open the pot, there is no shortage of silver, you just need to return the things to me, and everyone will not violate the river water in the future, and I don't have to trouble you again." ”

"Heh......"

Ji Lingnan almost laughed out loud, looked at him quite amusedly, and took out a dark jade green dragon ring from his arms, "You said it, but this?" ”

The jade in the hand is a very rare black jade, the material is clear, the day is inky in the hand, and the night is under the moonlight, it is magically transparent with the luster of white jade, what kind of person is he Ji Lingnan, what is good and what is bad, you can see the clue at a glance, and this ink jade in your hand is a priceless treasure at a glance.

"Give it back!"

Lu Wuxian looked at the ring that was on his fingertips and was hung by him with a rope and turned on his index finger, and he made a deep sound, and his heart rose to his throat, for fear that he would slam his treasure to the ground and bump it with a slippery hand.

Lu Wuxian took a step forward, the rotation of his fingertips suddenly stopped, and he held the ring pendant firmly in his hand, and even took a step back, shaking his index finger to make a no-gesture, "Hey, since you said that you are willing to lose the bet, then I won this ring pendant from you, how can I return it?" ”

"A scoundrel is a scoundrel, and that ring is clearly what you took from me, and you are embarrassed to say that you won?"

Lu Wuxian was already a little angry in his heart, and he was about to reach out to grab it when he took two steps forward, but Ji Lingnan jumped lightly behind him, and jumped onto the rockery behind him, just avoiding Lu Wuxian impartially, squatting down, looking down at him, and laughing loudly, "In and out of a place like a casino, there is no silver on your body, so you naturally have to take things as a mortgage, common sense of heaven and earth, Lord Lu is also a person who has been in those mixed places for so long, and he doesn't understand this reason?" ”

It's in the palace here, and Lu Wuxian doesn't want to make things too big, not to mention that this person still has a lot to do with Xia Xiaoxiao, so he sank the anger that rose in his heart, and looked up slightly at the man squatting on the rockery, "Okay, since it's a mortgage, it hasn't been returned, but there is a redemption gift," he took a step back, "Say, how much silver do you want." ”

Ji Lingnan was slightly stunned, and then laughed lowly, with a somewhat crisp and not deep voice, just like those low-voiced cicadas in the summer night, noisy but inexplicably pleasant, Lu Wuxian twisted his eyebrows, looking at the man squatting on the rockery like that, the silver glow of the full moon behind him fell on the man's delicate and handsome side face, half-light and half-dark, if it wasn't for the laughter that was too abrupt, it would be an excellent picture.

Ji Lingnan almost couldn't breathe with laughter, and then said slowly, "Who said I want silver?" I, Ji Lingnan, have taken a fancy to what I have already gotten in my hands, and I really have no intention of letting it out. ”

"Your stuff?" The tail note was provoked, and even the pitch was much higher, he asked him to return it to him, but when it came to Ji Lingnan's mouth, it became Jean?

Lu Wuxian felt that it was the first time that he could talk so much nonsense with a scoundrel, "So, this is in the palace, for the sake of the noble concubine, I don't care about you, but that doesn't mean I can't help it." ”

"Isn't it just a broken ring, so important?"

Ji Lingnan's eyebrows raised slightly, staring at him for a long time.

"It's none of your business."

Lu Wuxian stretched out his hand, only staring at the man on the rockery with a heavy face, his face was already covered with impatience.

partial, he Ji Lingnan is the least afraid of threats in his life.

"Heh, if you ask me to give it to me, wouldn't it seem that this little general is too faceless......"

However, before the words fell, a sharp wind sounded in his ears, and the laziness in his eyes instantly retreated, and he narrowly escaped the attack of the person with one hand on the rockery!

Because the foothold on the rockery is too small and too slippery, his body is not stable, and the next attack of the man in front of him has struck again! Pointing directly at the black jade ring pendant he was holding in his hand!

"Hmph, if you want to rob hard, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

Ji Lingnan snorted coldly, and directly collided with Lu Wuxian's oncoming moves, dispersing the strength of the attack one by one.

The moonlight is shining in the dark sky, there is even the sound of murmuring water in his ears, and the rockery that is not open under his feet is covered with moss, but the two of them are standing on the rockery, and the offensive of fists and feet has spread, Lu Wuxian only wants to snatch the ring in his hand with every move, but impartially, whenever he is about to probe over, Ji Lingnan's other hand has blocked it, but in the blink of an eye, the two have passed the trick round.
