CHAPTER XXXI

The emperor just set Rong Chengyi's family affairs a few days ago, and looked at Rong Chengyi, who was only one year old behind the second child, and made up his mind to set his family affairs as soon as possible, so the emperor could not refuse to bring Rong Chengyi to Concubine Rong's flower viewing banquet.

The emperor and Rong Chengjiao walked a secluded path without disturbing the young lady and lady in front. Rong Chengjiao walked straight to a rather high rockery and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister is here, firstly, there is a difference between men and women, and secondly, the province scares those ladies of the family." ”

Rong Chengjiao hung his head when he spoke, the emperor couldn't see the look in his eyes, he was silent for a few breaths, and the emperor's deep voice came: "It's okay, look farther here." With that, the emperor walked alone to the main hall where Concubine Rong was.

After Rong Chengyan saw the emperor go, a light jump, people stood firmly to a small attic built on the top of the rockery, this small building was built very cleverly, and began to be built in the open place on the top of the mountain, which fit together with the rockery, and became one. From a distance, the attic was barely visible, and this was Yung Chengye's favorite place to come when he was a child, because he could see others while he was here, but others couldn't see him, so that he could see the look on their faces other than disdain and fear.

The flower viewing banquet is not over yet, and the poems handed in by the nobles have not yet come to fruition, Su Jin'an's poem has only written two sentences, which is not a poem, so it must not be her who can get the lottery, rather than spending it here, it is better to find a quiet place to sit for a while, Su Jin'an thought in his heart. So, Su Jin slowly moved to the edge of the pavilion as if she was seriously appreciating the flowers, fortunately, no one paid attention to her, Su Jinan walked out of the pavilion very smoothly, Su Jinan walked quietly, people who didn't deliberately pay attention to her would definitely not find out that she was gone, but unfortunately Lin Ruoshui had been silently observing Su Jin'an, so after Su Jin'an left, Lin Ruoshui was the first to find out, but she didn't make a noise, but also silently retreated.

Su Jinan slipped out by herself, without the guidance of the palace maid by her side, in order not to cause trouble, she decided to sit on the edge of the pond not far away for a while and enjoy the royal garden. Su Jin'an had just stood still on his front feet when he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and a low voice, Su Jin'an didn't want to be noticed, so he left the place along a path on the edge of the pond. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Su Jinan was thinking about whether to go to Mei's first, but she found that she should have taken the wrong path, there was not even a palace maid or chamberlain on this path, she doubted that she would go to a place where she shouldn't come, but after thinking about it, since she could hold a banquet here, there shouldn't be any taboo places, thinking that this trail should be too remote and no one came, Su Jinan walked to a rockery and decided to wait here. See if there are any palace maids passing by.

Rong Chengyi's eyes moved back and forth with Su Jin'an under the rockery, it seemed that he should be lost, from his point of view, he could see Su Jin'an's jet-black hair and snow-white side neck, the turquoise skirt didn't know what material it was, it seemed to be plated with a soft silver light in the sun, making her look like a mountain elf, he had seen many beauties, but none of them looked at him like her, those women were like a shivering quail in front of him, Only she dared to speak like a normal person in front of him, even ...... Save him.

Su Jinan was looking left and right praying for someone who could lead her way, but she didn't want to hear a rush of footsteps running towards this side, accompanied by the woman's cry, Su Jinan secretly screamed that it was not good, today is really unlucky, why do you always run into trouble. The person who came was getting closer and closer to Su Jin'an, she would definitely be found if she left at this time, but wouldn't it be more embarrassing if she didn't leave and was discovered, Su Jinan glanced sideways a little, and found that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who should have come to participate in the flower banquet today, she ran to the rockery in one breath, holding the rockery and crying sadly, Su Jinan shrank back, and stood opposite the woman across a rockery, silently praying in her heart that the person opposite her would leave quickly.

Su Jin'an's prayers obviously had no effect, and the woman didn't know what sad things she had encountered, and her suppressed cry was even more sad to hear. After a while, another person came here, it seemed that he was looking for this girl, Su Jinan walked two steps in place uneasily, although this rockery is big, but it is indeed not opened, there is no way to hide inside, just when the person is getting closer and closer, Su Jinan looked at the extraordinarily tall rockery and suddenly had an idea: above! Su Jinan hurriedly picked up her skirt and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Rong Chengyi looked at Su Jin'an, who didn't care about his image, and wanted to laugh a little, but maybe he hadn't laughed for too long, he had almost forgotten how to laugh, and his smile just pulled the corners of his mouth up.

A rockery is not a difficult thing for Su Jin'an, but when she came up, she found that there was a hidden small attic on the top of the mountain, and she felt that no one should come here, so she pushed open the brown carved door in front of her. The person who appeared in front of her made Su Jian's eyes widen, she felt that she should still take a look at the yellow calendar when she went out in the future, who could tell her that a prince was not staying well in the palace, how could he appear on the top of the rockery?

Su Jin'an was about to speak, when a man's voice came from below, Su Jin'an was shocked and forgot to do it for a while, Rong Cheng'an didn't seem to be curious about the situation below, he looked at Su Jin'an's uncertain face and felt that his mood seemed to be a little happy.

Su Jinan didn't expect that there would be a man at the flower viewing banquet, she couldn't help but take a few steps to the window where Rong Chengyan was, and the man's voice below came clearly: "Don't cry, this is the palace, pay attention to your identity." ”

"Lord, woo...... Woo, I ...... I ......" The woman cried intermittently, and she could hear her trying to calm her mood again: "I don't want to marry into the Yan Palace, you said that you would make me a side concubine, I ...... I don't want to ......"

Su Jin'an, who heard this, covered her mouth in surprise, the woman below shouted "Lord Wang", listening to the man's voice was very young, and also mentioned King Yan's Mansion, it is estimated that the man below is King Rong Chenghan, listening to the woman means that she is going to marry into King Yan's Mansion, but she has already made a private agreement with King Huo for life, and now she just wants to be a side concubine to King Huo. Su Jinan felt that there might not be a more embarrassing time for her to grow so big than now, she secretly glanced at Rong Chengxuan, only to see that he was still standing with an unchanged face, as if the Yan King mentioned below was not him.

"This is not a matter that can be determined by you and me, now that I have the eldest daughter of the Su family as a side concubine, it is impossible to accept you anymore, since this is the case, it is better to obey your father's arrangement, if you enter the Yanwang Mansion, it will be a good thing for both you and me." There is a deep meaning in the words of the king.

The woman no longer cried, but her voice was full of crying: "But he is King Yan, a demon with such terrible eyes, will I still have my life if I go?" ”

Hearing this, Su Jinan couldn't help but look at Rong Chengyan, did others discriminate against him so much? Is it because the eyes are different from ordinary people?

Feeling Su Jin'an's gaze, Rong Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at her, Su Jinan immediately lowered his head to admire the patterns on his clothes, pretending that nothing had happened.

The following conversation continues: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll send someone to protect you, I can put my people by your side, I won't let you get into trouble, as long as he lets down his guard against you a little, you win." ”

"But...... I ...... "The woman still doesn't want to."

"Snort-" Rong Chengyan's sudden sneer made Su Jin'an startled, and also frightened the two people under the rockery.

King Huo said loudly: "What person, come out!" ”

King Huo observed around the rockery for a week, and soon locked on the source of the sound, he looked up at the top of the rockery, Su Jinan quickly squatted down and hid under the window.

The voice of King Huo came from below: "It turned out to be the fifth brother, and the fifth brother is really good at picking places." ”

"Not as good as you." Rong Chengjiao's simple three words made King Hui speechless for a while, he didn't pay attention when he came, this is the place where Rong Chengjiao liked to stay when he was a child, he should be more cautious, today there is Concubine Rong's flower-viewing banquet, it is said that he should no longer be here, after all, he is careless.

King Huo dragged the woman who had been scared and left quickly, and Rong Chengjiao looked at the direction they left, his eyes were full of coldness. Su Jinan poked his head out and glanced at it when he heard that there was no movement below, and when he saw that there was indeed no one, he stood up with confidence, and then said to Rong Chengjiao stubbornly: "The courtier has no intention of disturbing your rest, and I ask the prince to forgive me, and the courtier will retire." ”

"Want to go?" Rong Chengjiao looked at Su Jin'an's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and was a little inexplicably displeased: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Su Jinan looked at Rong Chengxuan very puzzled: "I don't seem to have offended the prince, what does the prince want my life to do?" ”

"Do I need a reason to kill?" Rong Chengyi's fluttering words made Su Jinan powerless to refute.

"Heheβ€”what's the benefit of you killing me? If I keep it, I might be able to treat you again or something, right, after all, everyone knows each other! Su Jinan laughed dryly, and vaguely reminded Rong Chengjiao that she had saved him.

Rong Chengan suddenly leaned over and approached Su Jin'an, there was only a palm between the faces of the two, Su Jin'an looked straight into Rong Cheng'an's red eyes, Rong Cheng'an also looked deeply at Su Jin'an's eyes, and in a moment Rong Cheng'an stood up straight, and Su Jin'an looked confused.

"Why aren't you afraid of me?" Rong Chengjiao looked out the window and asked Su Jin'an.

"Why should I be afraid of you? The world is so big, there are no wonders, people and things in this world are unpredictable, people are always full of fear of their unknown things, like to make up some stories to scare themselves, and wait until one day when those unknowns are solved, they will find that it is just a simple appearance, and the most terrible thing about people is not the appearance, is the heart. After Su Jinan finished speaking, he saluted again and said goodbye: "It's not early, the courtiers should go back." ”

"Follow the path all the way south to return to the main hall." Rong Chengjiao reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Looking at the back of Su Jin'an leaving, Rong Chengjiao thought about her words for a long time before walking out of the attic.
