Chapter Twenty-Three: Ghosts at Night
The night is like ink, the moonlight is cold, and the breeze is light, with a bit of coolness.
The dark shadow in the darkness flickered, looking at the two people on the roof, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, the prince threw the dice fifteen times, and lost ten times.
Seeing that the prince's face was gloomy and he kept drinking, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
"Lord Wang, you lost again." Yue Mengxin stared at Ye Lihuan with a smile, picked up the wine jug with her slender hand, put it in front of him, and looked at the stinky face of the man in front of her, but she was in a good mood.
In her previous life, she used to play this in the bar, so she was very conceited and won more times than Ye Lihuan.
Yeli Huanjun's face was stained with a layer of frost, this was the fifteenth game, he lost again, picked up the wine jug, and took a sip.
If it weren't for the dice that Shadow had brought him, he suspected she had done it.
"This king seems to have fallen into your trap." Ye Lihuan said lightly.
"Hehe, Lord Wang, are you going to admit defeat?" Yue Mengxin chuckled, and the moonlight sprinkled on her, like an elegant lily in the night, blooming.
She knew he must have had a good amount of wine, it was only ten jugs of wine, and he was almost dizzy.
"Hahaha, joke, how can this king admit defeat and come again." Ye Lihuan laughed out loud, arrogant, picked up the dice, and threw them in the bowl.
Yue Mengxin looked at the dice that stopped in the bowl, sixteen o'clock, the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little thicker, picked up the dice in the bowl, and planned to drop it.
"There is something in the hands of this king, which is a relic of Zhuqing." Ye Lihuan said slowly, his dark brown eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Yuemeng's heart was confused, the dice in his hand were scattered in the bowl, he looked at him in a daze, and his smiling face instantly turned into cold frost: "Give it to me." ”
Ye Lihuan hooked his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "You lost." ”
Yue Mengxin was shocked in his heart, looked down at the dice in the bowl, at ten o'clock, he lost, he fell for him, he deliberately let himself mess up.
"Give me Zhuqing's relics." Yue Mengxin bit her lip, and her dark eyes flashed with a cold light.
"If you are willing to lose to this king, this king will give it to you." Ye Lihuan chuckled, looking at her angry and angry appearance, the depression just now was swept away.
"You are despicable and shameless." Yue Mengxin couldn't help but scold.
"You calculated the king first." Ye Lihuan smiled evilly.
Yue Mengxin was silent for a while, picked up a pot of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qingzhu's relics can be retrieved by herself in the future, and her chaotic heart gradually calms down.
"This king thinks we might as well drink like this? Drink five more pots, anyway, whoever bets will get drunk first. Ye Lihuan's slender fingers rubbed his lips and said with a smile.
"Okay." Yue Mengxin's face was slightly ugly.
Before waiting for Ye Lihuan to command, there was no shadow, and he took out ten pots of wine, put them in front of the two of them, and disappeared into the darkness like a ghost.
Ye Lihuan picked up a pot of wine at random and drank it elegantly, with a smile in her eyes, she was not drunk with a thousand glasses, she was naturally not her opponent.
Yue Mengxin scolded a few words in her heart, picked up a pot and drank it with a little depression, these wines, some strong, some sweet, the taste is mixed together, and it has a unique flavor.
Two people, you take a sip, I take a sip, drink slowly, the rich aroma of wine, permeated the two people.
Ye Lihuan drank wine lazily and happily, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, his eyes were a little hazy, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't drunk so easily.
This wine made him slightly drunk, squinting at Yue Mengxin, and watching her beautiful cheeks dyed with a faint red, which made him a little crazy.
Yue Mengxin lowered her head and drank unhurriedly, feeling the stamina of the wine slowly coming up, this wine is really a good thing, she can forget all the painful things, this is the first time she has come to this other world, and she has let herself drink so presumptuously.
Maybe it feels good to be drunk once, she thought about it with self-deprecation in her heart, and felt Ye Lihuan's burning gaze, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Lihuan, her heart was shocked, and she saw a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
Close your eyes, you must have drunk too much, how could this cold-blooded and ruthless man have such a look.
When she opened her eyes again, Ye Lihuan looked at herself with a smile, her expression was clearly laughing at herself, and she sneered in her heart, Ye Lihuan, do you really think you will win?
"Do you still want to drink?" Ye Lihuan raised the empty wine jug and looked at her with a chuckle, this smile was unbridled and wild, and it was indescribably charming.
Yue Mengxin looked at his charming and bewitching smile, her heartbeat missed half a beat, and there was a feeling of palpitations.
The night under the moonlight, like a king in the dark night, exudes the breath of looking down on the world, even this darkness is subjugated to his feet.
Demon, Yue Mengxin cursed in her heart, feeling that she was charmed, she couldn't help but feel a fever in her face, and forced herself not to look at him, she must have drunk too much, yes, she must have drunk too much.
Turning his face a little embarrassed, he looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and said lightly: "Why don't you drink, the prince is not drunk, how can I not drink." ”
"Hahaha, okay, it's rare to have someone to drink with the prince, Shadow, bring the wine again." Ye Lihuan's eyes were bright, looking at Yue Mengxin.
He was slightly surprised in his heart, he thought that her alcohol consumption would be very poor, beyond his estimate, hehe, so that he drank boldly and happily.
Shadow's eyes looked worriedly at the slender white shadow on the top of the attic, since that night, her shadow had not floated in his mind, as if enchanted.
The shadow had a bitter smile on her face, she was high up, like a fairy in the sky, she was not something she could dream of, she was the master's woman, looking at her like this, guarding her, it was also a kind of happiness for herself.
took the wine jug brought by his subordinates, flew towards the top of the attic, gently put the ten wine jugs in front of the two of them, and dodged away.
Yue Mengxin picked up a pot at random, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, looking at the silent night, a mischievous light flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly: "Why don't you tell me a ghost story to the prince?" Drinking like this won't make the prince feel boring. ”
Ye Lihuan was aroused by Yue Mengxin's words: "Hehe, ghost story, interesting." ”
Yue Mengxin raised her eyebrows lightly, lowered her head, rubbed her white jade-like slender fingers against the wine jug, and said slowly in a low voice: "Once upon a time, there was a maid from a large family named Ah Jin, who was beautiful in appearance but had a very delicate personality, and the people in the house often bullied her.
One day, a handsome boy came to the house, and all the maids in the house were dressed up in flowers, and Hibiscus was even more pitiful, and the maids let Hibiscus do half of the tiring work in their hands.
On that day, the peach blossoms were in full bloom and the flowers were colorful, Hibiscus was carrying a bucket of water, and inadvertently bumped into a person, the bucket fell over, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the person she bumped into was the son of a guest in the house.
And Childe likes Hibiscus at a glance, and this period of time is the happiest thing in Ajin's life.
The peach blossoms that night were particularly charming, the two hugged each other, and Hibiscus handed himself over to him, and that night, it suddenly rained heavily, the peach blossoms were zeroed, and the flowers fell to the ground.
The next day, Childe left, before leaving, let Hibiscus wait two months, and he would definitely come back to pick her up, and let her wait for him at the river bridge, Hibiscus nodded fiercely and agreed.
Every day Ah Jin will go to Qiaotou, waiting for her beloved man to come to pick her up, and she fantasizes every day that her beloved man will come to Qiaotou and carry her home.
And she waited for three years, the handsome son did not come to pick her up, and Ah Jin was still stupid and waiting.
She believed that the man she loved would come to pick her up, and the maids in the house would laugh at her for being stupid, and the prince must have forgotten about her and asked her not to wait any longer.
And on this day, Hibiscus came to the bridge again, looked at the other side of the bridge, and silently recited the daily scriptures in his mouth, hoping that this would bless the son's safety.
And on this day, she stood at the head of the bridge and thought for a long time, only then did she realize that it was late at night, turned around and crossed the bridge, and at this time, a beautiful and pale woman in Tsing Yi came to her.
When Ah Jin saw the woman in Tsing Yi, she found that the woman in Tsing Yi was wet all over, and she wondered how someone was wandering outside at such a late hour.
So, Ah Jin asked the woman in Tsing Yi, "Are you lost?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head and didn't speak to Hibiscus.
Ah Jin asked with concern: "Your whole body is wet, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi still shook her head and did not answer Ah Jin.
Ah Jin watched the woman in Tsing Yi keep staring at her, she suddenly felt scared, she threw down the woman in Tsing Yi and wanted to run home, but she found that no matter how she ran, she was still on the bridge.
Lord Wang, do you still want to hear the rest of the story? Yue Mengxin suddenly stopped the story she was telling, put down the pot she had drunk, and looked at Ye Lihuan lightly.
Ye Lihuan listened to it while drinking, slightly stunned, looking at the woman in front of him, his eyes were dark, and people couldn't see through what he was thinking.
Hearing this story, suddenly, he remembered his mother's concubine, his father's one-night grace, his mother was pregnant with him, and was given the title of concubine, since then, his father has never come to the mother's palace, since he was sensible, there has never been a mother's concubine laughing, every day with tears to wash his face, and then a conspiracy in the harem, the mother concubine sacrificed herself in order to protect him.
This woman from Hibiscus is really as stupid as her mother, and she only has a strong hatred in her heart, hating herself for being too weak and unable to protect the most important person in her life.
"Go on, this king wants to hear the rest of the story, after you finish, I drink a pot of wine more than you, how about it?" Ye Lihuan knew that Yue Mengxin was hanging her appetite, and she seemed to have unknowingly walked into her trap.
But it wasn't a big deal to him.
The breeze blew, making Yuemeng's heart as calm as water, and a fine light flashed in her eyes, which was gone in an instant.
In her previous life, when she heard this ghost story, she felt sad for this stupid woman in her heart, and continued to whisper in her voice with a little softness: "The woman in Tsing Yi showed a strange smile to the frightened and frightened Hibiscus, held her hand tightly, and pulled Ajin to the middle of the bridge.
She said to Hibiscus, "Don't be afraid, I'll let you look at something, look down the river." ”
Hibiscus looked at the river in trepidation, and she saw the man she loved in the river.
It turned out that the handsome son had already married a noble daughter, and the family was like a cloud, and he was full of flowers and grass, and he had forgotten Ah Jin in the past three years.
When Hibiscus saw all this, she immediately understood her stupidity, but she didn't expect that after three years of waiting, everything turned out to be a dream.
Her heart was like a knife, her heart was broken, she was crying and laughing madly, she wanted to ask why she was doing this to him, why she gave herself hope to make her wait at the bridge, waiting for him to pick her up.
