Chapter 65: Outside the Champion Pavilion
Chu Li frowned slightly and looked at the uninvited woman in front of her, dressed in a lotus-colored soft smoke robe, with a foggy white tulle on the outside, and a two-color palace silk on her waist; The head is not combed, from the front of the right to the back obliquely braided a braid on the left side, two white jade carved beads stuck in the braid, very chic.
"Who are you? Keep your head up! Chu Li took two steps back, there was a faint displeasure in his voice, he likes to be admired by women but he doesn't like to be entangled by women, he already knows such a attention-grabbing little trick today.
"The little woman is Mu Qingyan of Shuiyue Villa, who stopped King Li's drive in order to save people, please forgive King Li!" Mu Qingyan unhurriedly pleaded guilty and did not raise his head, but returned the charge that Chu Li had just deducted on Linglong's head intact.
"Oh? Are you Miss Mujia Light Smoke? Liwang's frowning brows suddenly stretched, and he unconsciously had two points of contempt, "Get up!" "The rumors in the market are not completely false, and looking at her demeanor, you know that there is a big gap between her and the serious lady.
If you want to say that the young lady in this capital is not as famous as the light smoke of Shuiyue Villa, she is not good-looking, she does not occupy any etiquette, but she has the ability to cause trouble, even if she wants to learn, she will not be able to learn it completely.
"King Li, if it's okay, I'll take the maid to make way for you?" Mu Qingyan said cheekily, and after finishing speaking, he deliberately aimed at the cars behind him.
"Raise your head and let the king see!" Liwang's words have the meaning of three-point banter.
Mu Qingyan muttered softly in her heart: You made me look up, and it scared me!
"Don't dare!" Mu Qingyan's voice was very reluctant.
"Cheng Lei, take down this maid who is blocking the way and beat forty military sticks!" Chu Li commanded coldly.
"King Li, if you want to see it, why bother to take out your anger at my maid! Miss Ben is so beautiful, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it! Mu Qingyan raised her head arrogantly and puffed out her mouth to look at Chu Li's eyes.
Two more people got out of the car behind him, a boy in brocade clothes and a woman in pink clothes.
It was not the first time Chu Li had seen Mu Qingyan, but today was the closest thing he had ever met. The moment her eyes saw it, it was as if he had fallen into two pools of blue springs, and he only felt that he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and he had no time to think about anything.
"Yo, this is the legendary Miss Suanmu, as her name suggests!" Another ridiculous male voice started, and then there was a burst of laughter around him, saying everything he wanted, just to see her jokes.
As soon as he rode away, he walked to several carts and dismounted from the saddle, "I have seen King Li, King Jue, and the Seven Princesses!" Qin Yan said indifferently and coldly, inexplicably, Chu Li's eyes looking at Mu Qingyan made him extremely uncomfortable. involuntarily ordered her domineeringly, "Miss Mu, please leave as soon as possible, don't stay here for a long time!" ”
Mu Qingyan watched Qin Yan dismount, watching him dislike her casually, new hatred and old hatred suddenly surged into his heart together, "General Xie Qin reminds!" There was a faint anger in his voice.
"Liwang, farewell!" pulled up Linglong, turned around and left, and the elegance that a family lady should have was gone.
Qin Yan watched the figure leave with mixed emotions, and his heart suddenly emptied.
"General Qin is here too!" Chu Jue spoke first.
The seventh princess ran in front of Qin Yan, and before she could speak, she rode again.
"I'm here too!" As soon as the sound fell, another person rode forward, but it was Chu Jin.
"Miss Mu, Ling'er's carriage is just behind, it will arrive in a moment, do you want to wait for her?" Before he could get off the horse, he shouted at Mu Qingyan's back.
"It turned out to be King Xiaojing, then I'll wait here for Lord Ling!" Mu Qingyan looked back and replied to him with a light smile.
The makeup on the little face with a big slap was miserable, and the smile was not tight, and the crowd suddenly boiled again.
Chu Li is extremely narcissistic in her bones, and because of her handsome appearance, she is often noticed by women wherever she goes. He couldn't imagine that this woman was not bewitched by him at all, she didn't take herself seriously at all, and she walked neatly, and he couldn't help but feel a deep loss in his heart.
He didn't think about it at all, why he cared so much about the attention of an ugly girl.
Qin Yan retracted his gaze and looked idly into the distance, no one saw his hand clutching the reins tightly. Those eyes are very similar to Weiyang, knowing that he is mistaken for it, but he is still uncontrollably attracted every time.
Chu Li was in a different state of mind, although her makeup couldn't bear to look at it directly, but the clarity in her eyes was deeply remembered by him. Mu Qinghan is very scheming, no matter how he tries to win him over, openly and secretly, he can be resolved by him every time; If he had to take the step of marriage, it was worth his careful consideration. Then there was a contradiction again, except for those eyes, her stubborn name had been undesirable for a long time; is not the position of concubine, and the Mu family is afraid that they will not give in, and they are still annoyed.
To each his own heart.
A person suddenly jumped down from the carriage that had not moved, and jumped to the side of Chu Jin who was riding on horseback, and one flew behind him.
A burst of strange fragrance hit, Chu Jin frowned and looked back, and said unhappily: "Princess Qingqing, please respect yourself, my Eastern Chu Kingdom is a state of etiquette, and I am afraid that the princess's behavior will be criticized by the people!" ”
"This princess doesn't care, this princess just wants to ride a horse! Ever since I was a kid, I grew up on horseback and didn't like to ride in a car! Xiao Qingqing stretched out his arms to hug Chu Jin's waist.
Chu Jin couldn't, but he didn't want to be hugged by her in public, so he had to fly off his horse, pull a rein from the hands of the Praetorian Guard, jump on the horse, and destroy the horse first.
Chu Jue watched Chu Jin leave and urged the team to set off.
Chu Li also gave up the carriage, Cheng Lei led his horse, and the group set off again.
The carriage and horse passed, and Cheng Lei knelt on one knee beside Qin Yan.
"Deputy Commander Cheng, go back today to get twenty military sticks and be fined for three months! After Guan Ting woke up, he was assigned to the Zhongshan Infantry Battalion, and the Praetorian Guard would never be hired! Qin Yan put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the carriage and horse's departure.
"Obey General Qin's order! General Xie Qin! Cheng Lei didn't complain at all, today it was Qin Yan who punished him, which was better than the arbitrary punishment of King Li and King Jue. Although capital crimes can be avoided, they will never be able to escape from some suffering.
"Also, after today's event, the forbidden military camp will rotate and train, this matter will be arranged by you, and General Ben will only look at the results!" Qin Yanli's eyes were like an eagle, staring at Cheng Lei.
"Obey!" Cheng Lei secretly complained bitterly.
Qin Yan glanced at his annoyed look again and flew on the horse. I told myself not to look at Miss Mu Jia again, and rode over, and the corner of my eye still saw her heartless appearance clearly.
The official road has returned to the atmosphere of the festival, and small traders and pedestrians are crowded together again.
Sure enough, a pillar of incense came from afar.
Amber and so on the side of the road.
"Lord Ling, my young lady is waiting here!" Amber spoke.
"Stop!" Chu Ling lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Amber standing in front of the carriage with a smile on her face, and followed her gaze, Mu Qingyan was waving to him in the window.
"Frost, you follow me! Xue'er, you follow the second sister to the lake and wait for me! Chu Ling jumped out of the carriage with Amber's hand, and ran away with her skirt and legs.
"Ling'er, you come back for me!" Chu Wei opened the curtain and called Chu Ling slightly annoyed.
Chu Ling turned around and grimaced, and the person had already run to Mu Qingyan's car.
"Second sister, why does the third sister like to play with that ugly lady in Mufu?" Chu Mo hid the shrewdness in his eyes, pretending to be unfamiliar with the world, and flattered Chu Wei.
Chu Wei shouted that she couldn't return to Chu Ling, and was angry with herself, "Sooner or later, I will be damaged by that stubborn Mu Qingyan, but I don't know it, it's really annoying!" ”
Chu Mo took Chu Wei's hand and comforted, "The second sister is not angry, the third sister is not as good as the second sister's cultivation!" ”
Chu Wei was coaxed happy by her, and bent the corner of her lips to pull her hand, "Mo'er, be good, don't be angry with Ling'er!" ”
Mu Qingyan personally picked the curtain and pulled her into the car, and told Chu Ling, who was in a hurry, "Ling'er, slow down, your second sister won't come to catch you back, what's the hurry?" ”
Chu Ling didn't have the demeanor that he should have as the lord of the palace, and Mu Qingyan was simply a virtue, sitting, lying and walking, without any elegance.
Linglong and Liuli never got into the car, and Amber never came up again after going down, and there were pearls, coral, and cinnabar on the car. When the three of them saw Chu Ling getting into the car, they got out of the way one after another, and they were about to get down when they got to the car door.
"Where are you going, ten miles away, are you going?" Chu Ling said coldly, turned his head to the car window and said, "Sister Amber, the three of you also come up, there are more people!" ”
Several of them all looked at Mu Qingyan.
"Cinnabar, take out your precious dice and relieve the boredom of Lord Lingjun!" Mu Qingyan glanced at Amber and leaned against the soft pillow behind Chu Ling by himself.
Cinnabar reluctantly took out a pair of white jade carved dice from her arms, which was very delicate and cute, she bit her lip and put it in Chu Ling's palm with some reluctance.
Chu Ling held it in his hand and played with it one by one: "Cinnabar, these dice are so beautiful, can you give it to me?" Seeing her reluctant look, I couldn't help but want to tease her.
Cinnabar puffed out her mouth and whispered, "Lord Ling, this is what Miss gave me!" His eyes were staring at the jade dice in Chu Ling's hand, which was called reluctance.
"Hahaha, amuse you! It's all up, let's play together, whoever wins will have a reward, just say what you want! Chu Ling didn't look like a county lord, and he got into a mess with a few girls from Mu Qingyan.
"Catch the car, it's a little late!" Mu Qingyan whispered through the curtain to Yi Rong Sanjiu, who was sitting outside.
Half an hour later, Mu Qingyan's carriage stopped on the shore of Mochou Lake.
The dragon boat racing event is grand every year. Before the sun comes out, incense and wine are burned to invite the dragon head, and after the water sacrifice ceremony is completed, the master of each family will load the dragon head on the boat, plant a bright flag, and wait for the arrival of the time for the competition.
At this time, on Mochou Lake, the dragon boat was ready, just waiting for the gong on the Zhuangyuan Pavilion.
A gong hangs high above the pavilion, and under the gong is the prize of the dragon boat race, covered with red silk.
The participating teams and the merchants of all walks of life gathered on the kiosk to set bets, and someone copied the number of bets there. There is no place to stay outside the pavilion, and the three layers inside and the three layers outside are full of people.
The boat boats are full of boats along the shores of the lake, and there are also those who are anxious to go on the boat to play offshore.
Mu Qingyan and Chu Ling waited for the carriage to stop, and got off the carriage with the help of several maids, and went up to the pavilion on their own. There are royal guards to open the way, but it is not very crowded.
Seeing that he was almost at the edge of the pavilion, Yan Xuechu took the maid Xiaozhu and Silan to greet him first; Yu Ranqing also brought her maid purple pattern and purple fiber, and came out behind Yan Xuechu.
"Why did you just come here, what time has it been, how did you two come across one place?" Yan Xuechu grabbed Chu Ling with one hand and pulled Mu Qingyan with the other, someone had already replied to what happened to Mu Qingyan on the road, but fortunately, there was no danger.
"Smoke is waiting for me, so it's late!" Chu Ling didn't know what was happening on the road.
Yu Ranqing approached, looked Mu Qingyan up and down, and asked in a warm voice, "Yan'er, are you okay?" ”
Mu Qingyan smiled heartlessly, "What can I do, it's not good!" ”
"Let's go to the pavilion, I lost the bet last year, and this year I'm going to win back even the interest!" Chu Ling looked at a few people with frowns.
A few people couldn't help but laugh.
"I lost last year too, and just now I was looking to see which one to bet on, so let's go and see together!" Yan Xuechu pulled a few people and walked quickly to the betting place.
"Well, last year's Yuyu Food Shop was so black-hearted and won alone! Should we bet this year? Mu Qingyan bit her fingers and looked at a few people.
"Don't stop, this year, everyone said that the Eldest Princess's Mansion trained the hardest, should we consider it?" Yu Ranqing had something in her heart, and followed a few people to force a smile.
Chu Ling waved his hand, "Don't, don't, the eldest aunt can't be successful, don't be deceived by her!" ”
"I think our Thrushcross Villa is the most reliable!" Yan Xuechu also laughed.
"Hey, our world's money is reliable!" Mu Qingyan also coaxed.
There were many people around them, and they were also waiting to see which one they were going to bet on.
