Chapter Twenty-Three: Tuoba Zongyao

On the side of the second floor of the teahouse, two young girls sat by the window, attracting the attention of many people, and the two seemed to be unaware and talked in a low voice.

Xiao Yuyin ignored the surrounding gaze towards herself, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but look out the window, the sun had risen high, and the willows on both sides were only left with branches, only casting a faint shadow, slightly depressed and lonely.

"Xiaoyu, is the news reliable?" Xiao Yuyin turned her head and looked at Cui Siyu, who had been drinking tea leisurely.

Cui Siyu was still wearing a red dress, her appearance was beautiful, her eyes were full of tears, Qianqianyu was holding a teacup, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, taking a sip of tea, raising her eyebrows and glancing at Xiao Yuyin, slowly putting down the teacup, and her crimson sleeves covered her jade-like wrists.

"Don't worry, it's coming."

Xiao Yuyin was noncommittal, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of tea, the tea is a good tea, the entrance is very mellow, the faint tea fragrance is tangy, and the mouth also retains the aftertaste of tea, with a light taste, with a slight bitterness.

Xiao Yuyin looked at the teacup, it was not the tip of the bud, it was a leaf, this was a melon slice. She remembers that in modern times, she also drank this kind of tea, and the tea was exported overseas, because the origin was Lu'an City, Anhui Province, so it was named Lu'an Gua Pian.

The turquoise tea, clear, reflected her beautiful and boundless face, but the willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes as pure as the starry sky were also dyed with a little sorrow.

Xiao Yuyin sighed, can you not worry? Everything is piled up together, and it's annoying to think about it. In five days, she will leave Beijing, what reason can she use to make Nalan Heng die, and she won't miss her or look for her.

She really has no bottom now, no bottom at all.

"Don't think too much about it, you look so ugly with a frown." Cui Siyu stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her eyebrows, and sighed slightly in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest.

"Xiaoyu, there are five days left, what reason do you say I should leave?" Xiao Yuyin put down the cup a little weakly, the tea shook, the tea trembled, and soon returned to calm.

Cui Siyu looked at her restless appearance, thinking of the annoyance, she also sighed, frowning slightly, "What men are most afraid of is not caring about those few things, aren't you already doing it?" Cui Siyu alluded to the matter of Yu Ziying.

Xiao Yuyin held her forehead with a headache and rubbed her temples, she remembered that she went out with Yuziying that day, and Nalan Heng didn't say a word of reproach to her and Yuziying for going out, but just blamed her for encountering danger every time she went out. She was moved, but her heart was extremely entangled. It seems that this strength is not enough, is it possible to be more intimate?

Xiao Yuyin hurriedly threw out the thoughts that flashed in his head.

"It's coming!"

Cui Siyu suddenly interrupted Xiao Yuyin's continued contemplation, and turned to the window, the one who walked in slowly was a dark blue robe, with a thoughtful appearance, and it was difficult to be noticed in the crowd, but he was righteous and noble. It's impossible to ignore or look at.

Xiao Yuyin gently hooked the corners of her lips, she remembered that this was the Eastern Jin Dynasty Prince Tuoba Zongyao, when she and Nalan Heng left the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they stopped them and made them almost not leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

It's just that last time it was in the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but this time it was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, one east and one north. Whether it's geography or identity, it's different.

Xiao Yuyin kept looking in the direction of the stairs on the second floor, until the person who saw him came up slowly, with steady steps, just like his person, giving people the feeling that it was very stable, very heavy, and people couldn't guess. But also, the prince of a country, how can there be a simple-minded person, not to mention that he can sit firmly on the throne of the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor, it is only a matter of time.

Tuoba Zongyao went up to the second floor, and he felt that someone was staring at him, he was naturally cautious and sensitive, he looked in the direction he was aware of, and he met the pair of black jade eyes as bright as the starry sky, as well as the smile on the corner of the woman's mouth.

Sitting by the window, his eyes were only fixed on the girl in white. Tuoba Zongyao couldn't help but be stunned, then turned around, changed his original plan, and walked towards her.

For the smiling harmless woman in front of him, of course he remembered that the moonlight that day was like water, and it was she who helped the demonic man leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He remembered it very well, and he thought she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

I don't dare to forget, and I can't forget it, she tells herself a truth all the time: looking down on others is the biggest irresponsibility to herself.

Tuoba Zongyao thought about it, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and said to Xiao Yuyin: "I didn't expect to meet the girl here, it's really surprising."

Xiao Yuyin smiled and shook her head, "I'm not surprised. Then he met his slightly puzzled face, "Because I deliberately came to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Tuoba Zongyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said softly in an incomprehensible tone: "The girl is really a sincere person."

Xiao Yuyin couldn't help but slander herself in her heart when she heard it, her sincerity was not a day or two, so she just regarded him as a compliment, although she still heard the sarcasm in his words, she gave him the impression that she had never been sincere, and she had been hiding it. slandered in her heart, but she couldn't see it on her face at all, so she chuckled and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can enjoy his face and drink a cup of tea with the two of me to catch up on the old days." ”

When Cui Siyu heard this, he stood up, sat down next to Xiao Yuyin instead, and gave up a place for Tuoba Zongyao.

Tuoba Zong Yao glanced at Xiao Yuyin and Cui Siyu, who was already sitting next to her, and said with a smile: "The girl invited, Zong Yao is very honored." Then he sat down across from the two of them.

Cui Siyu called Xiao Er to serve a pot of new tea, and Xiao Yuyin said to the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "It's been two months since I said goodbye that day, and meeting is fate."

Tuoba Zongyao raised his eyebrows, his brows furrowed slightly, fate? It should belong to the evil fate!

"What the girl said is very reasonable, it's fate, but I didn't expect the girl to remember Zong Yao, but Zong Yao was a little 'flattered,' Tuoba Zong Yao said something, raising his eyebrows to see her reaction.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also makes Yuyin very memorable!" Xiao Yuyin shook his hands in two and two, and quietly fought back. Isn't that memorable? If he was defeated, he almost died in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Tuoba Zongyao immediately chuckled, his slender fingers caressed the cup, but he didn't drink it, just stroked it, smiled meaningfully for a long time, and looked at her with inky black eyes as sharp as an eagle, "The girl and your companion are really amazing, it is really admirable to pass through my heavy defense line and take my things." ”

Cui Siyu, who had never spoken on the side, couldn't help but speak at this time, with a faint smile on his face, like mockery and something else, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, is that really your thing?" ”

Xiao Yuyin's heart moved, there was also the name of the palace master of Liyue Palace on it, it must be unusual, and listening to the meaning of Cui Siyu's words, he must know something? Because although he is the palace master of Liyue Palace, he has not been recognized by the palace after all, so there are some things that are not convenient to say.

Tuoba Zongyao turned his gaze to Cui Siyu, "It's not mine, it's still yours." Although the words were said easily, but there were also a few waves in my heart, and when I just got the thing in my hand, I was targeted by the demonic boy, and then it was snatched.

Cui Siyu shook his head when he heard this, "It's not mine." Then he picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then calmly said word by word: "Although it is not mine, I know where you got it from and who you originally belonged to?"

It was not only Tuoba Zongyao who was stunned at this time, but also our eldest lady Xiao Yuyin was also a little shocked. Cui Siyu has never told herself about this, of course, she hasn't asked, it's inconvenient to ask, she knows that Xiaoyu should tell herself, she will definitely tell herself, and if it is inconvenient to tell, she will have the opportunity to know.

Tuoba Zongyao looked at Cui Siyu at this time, his face was very calm, but the waves in his heart were churning a few times.

Cui Siyu and Xiao Yuyin sat together, one in red, one in white, one gorgeous, and one elegant. Both of them are easy to ignore, and from them, they only feel that they are two ordinary people. However, with Xiao Yuyin's lesson, he didn't dare to despise Cui Siyu at this time.

Moreover, the meaning of her words made him even more frightened, "The girl laughed, it was naturally mine, but now it has been taken away." ”

Cui Siyu gently put down the cup, her fingers gently played with the edge of the cup, Xiao Yuyin looked at her expression, with reminiscence, as if she thought of something sad, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

was worried about her, but found that she raised her eyes and smiled softly at Tuoba Zongyao opposite, "What am I joking about, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows very well in his heart, but I want to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, and please also tell the people behind you, if people don't know, unless you do it." ”

Tuoba Zongyao looked at her and smiled, laughing at the snow of the cold winter moon, to the bone, and cold. Her words made him shiver even more.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you still have something to do, so don't bother, please!" Cui Siyu still had a smile on his face, but there was still no trace of warmth.

Tuoba Zongyao looked at the two of them for a long time before he stood up, his face was also calm, and he said politely to the two: "I still have an appointment, so I will leave first." Then turn around and leave.

Xiao Yuyin looked at his back, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, not to mention what was behind this, just because of the courage shown by the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were different reactions, and he was worthy of being the prince.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Cui Siyu suddenly spoke, his expression slightly dazed.

Xiao Yuyin was slightly stunned, then smiled lightly, and waved her hand without caring at all, "You will still tell me what you should say, you don't say it, just because I haven't reached the time when I should know." ”

Cui Siyu held the teacup in both hands, a little dazed, and only after a while did he gently retort: "It is related to the eight major families."

The voice was soft and insignificant, but Xiao Yuyin heard it clearly, and his heart was so shocked that he almost knocked over the teacup.
