Chu Lingxiu quietly looked at the busy and happy figure in the shallow light of the thin clouds, and remembered the first time she saw Zhi Yunxi, a woman who was willing to work hard for Xia Shenxuan, this was her first impression.

Zhi Yunxi raised his head with a smile, and met Chu Lingxiu's gaze, Chu Lingxiu's ice and snow carved face softened slightly, and he nodded slightly to say hello.

"I've seen Chu Fangyi." The maids of the Lanting Hall noticed that Chu Lingxiu had entered the hall, and hurriedly trotted over to salute.

Zhi Yunxi stood up, patted the mud on his face, and then said to Qingyuan, "Qingyuan, look at the tea." ”

"Yes." Qing Yuan smiled and turned to make tea.

"Why does Chu Fangyi have time to come to me?" Zhi Yunxi made a very casual gesture to invite Chu Lingxiu to sit on the stone bench in the flower garden.

Chu Lingxiu said coldly, "My position is higher than you, don't you salute?" ”

The tone is very cold, and the attitude is very unkind.

Zhi Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Do you need it?" With that, she walked to the stone bench with a basket of flowers.

Chu Lingxiu was slightly surprised, this stopped Yunxi's appetite for her, those false gifts were originally made for others to see, and a few people were sincere courtesy, so she really didn't care if others saluted her or not.

After she sat down on the stone bench, she also walked to the flower garden and sat opposite Zhiyunxi.

Zhi Yunxi picked out a peony that bloomed very well, gorgeous and elegant, handed it to Chu Lingxiu, raised a smile and said, "I'll send you." ”

Chu Lingxiu glanced at the peony in Zhi Yunxi's hand, made up his mind, and finally raised his hand to take it, but Zhi Yunxi suddenly closed his hand, and the smile on his face brought out a bit of teasing, Chu Lingxiu's eyes were slightly condensed, Zhi Yunxi had already half stood up, his body crossed the stone table, and he pinned the peony to Chu Lingxiu's bun.

"How beautiful is this." Zhi Yunxi's agile eyes looked at Chu Lingxiu's face, which became more and more cold because of being teased.

Her eyebrows and eyes were heartfelt praise, this kind of sincere praise made Chu Lingxiu stunned, and forcibly made her cold face soothe a little.

Qingyuan diligently brought the tea and refreshments, and greeted warmly, "The two masters, please use tea." ”

Chu Lingxiu glanced at Qingyuan, and said casually, "Qingyuan, you go down." ”

Qingyuan pursed his lips and retreated. A group of maids quietly surrounded Qingyuan, gossiping and not daring to disturb the master's low voice to ask Qingyuan, wanting to hear the scandal and anecdote of the first concubine in the harem from Qingyuan.

Cui Xinlian scolded them in a low voice, and then they dispersed in a huff.

Qingyuan glared at Cuixin very viciously, "It's just you!" After saying that, he walked away very unhappily.

Chu Lingxiu took a sip of tea and said straight to the point, "Why do you want to save Xia Shenxuan?" ”

She was referring to the Flower Dynasty Festival.

Zhi Yunxi thought very seriously, "In order to fight for a place in his heart." After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and smiled at Chu Lingxiu, a little self-deprecating, "Harem girl, who doesn't want to attract his attention?" ”

Chu Lingxiu was slightly stunned again, maybe it was that somewhat desolate smile, maybe it was the trace of self-deprecation that made her heart that had been closed and frozen since the occupation of Lingzhou have a feeling of emotion.

"That'...... Do you like him......? Chu Lingxiu suddenly asked, and when she realized what question she was asking, her expression showed surprise that even she was surprised.

Zhi Yunxi didn't expect Chu Lingxiu to ask such a question, she picked up the tea and drank it slowly, "I don't like it." ”

She said it slowly word by word, as if she was afraid that she would regret it, so she deepened her tone and chuckled, "I don't dare to forget the hatred of destroying the country." ”
