Chapter 21: Showing Loyalty
"What do you think of this girl who plays the piano?" Rong Wen's expression was faint.
"I played the piano well." Shake the light looked at Rong Wen, "Do you want to go out and have a look?" After all, no one has seen it...... The famous son of southern Xinjiang. ”
"Whatever you want."
"Nine Emperor Sisters." As soon as Shaoguang went out, he was seen by Kaiyang, who had been looking for Shaoguang, "I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been?" ”
Shaoguang looked back at the small pavilion that was hidden tightly and could only see a cornice, and smiled, "It's a little early, so I'll sit in that small pavilion."
"I've seen Celestia."
Kaiyang saw that there was a man behind Shaoguang, his face was pale, and there was a trace of sickness and weakness lingering between his eyebrows, but with a momentum, this person was looking at him with a smile at the moment. Who is this man? Why hadn't she seen it? Kaiyang thought in her heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, most of the people in the garden could be familiar with each other, the only one she hadn't seen...... is the last son of Nanjiang to deliver the post.
Thinking like this, Kaiyang glanced at Rong Wen again, and became more and more sure of the guess in his heart.
"It turned out to be the prince of Southern Xinjiang, please." Kaiyang said with a smile.
It's just that a pair of eyes fell on Rong Wen and Shaoguang, and they were surprised, the two of them just came out of the small pavilion together, right? She didn't know that this sister of hers actually knew the prince of Southern Xinjiang.
"Nine Emperor Sisters, you and the prince of Southern Xinjiang have known each other for a long time?"
Shaking Light smiled calmly, "Shizi was already there when I just walked into the pavilion, and I happened to play a game of chess by the way. Shizi's chess skills are really superb. ”
"The ninth princess praised it falsely, but it is still not as good as the princess."
Kaiyang walked between the two, gently pulling the shaking light and walking towards the crowd. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Ninth sister, do you still know how to play chess?" I don't know. ”
"It's boring on the mountain, so that's all you can do." Shake the light and explain nonchalantly.
Kaiyang's slightly meaningful gaze fell on the two of them, and then he entered the seat with a shaking light.
Although Shaoguang had never appeared in the noble circle of the capital ten years ago, everyone recognized her as soon as she came out. Not him, just because it was the only face they hadn't seen. As for why they were so curious about the Nine Princesses, everyone turned their eyes to Xie Qiyuan, who sat quietly on the side after entering the garden.
Heard...... This young man Xie, who has never been close to women, stood at the gate of the Ninth Princess's mansion for most of the day a few days ago?
Facing everyone's scrutiny, he sat down straight, and his eyes fell on the girl who was playing the piano on the side.
The demeanor is dignified, the appearance is delicate, and there is a strong smell of books on the body, which is very quiet, but it is very eye-catching. A satisfied glint slid over Shake Light's eyes, and then he set his eyes on Rong Wen, who was sitting across from him, and motioned for him to glance at the girl who was playing the piano.
Rong Wen smiled, did this girl really want to find him a princess?
After the song was finished, Shake Light was the first to applaud.
Although these noble ladies in the capital are all delicate and weak, their skills are worthy of praise.
In the whole garden, only the sound of shaking light and clapping was very loud. At this time, everyone did not secretly look at the ninth princess who came down from Jingshan, but observed it openly.
Rong Wen smiled at the girl who was playing the piano and applauded.
Xie Qiyuan, who had been hiding on the side, glanced at Rong Wen, something quickly crossed in his eyes, and then he also applauded.
Everyone was shocked, what happened to this Xie Gongzi today? Could it be that you really fell in love with the nine princesses?
The girl who played the harp got up, glanced at the three who applauded her, and saluted them in turn. The etiquette is thoughtful, the advance and retreat are measured, and the satisfaction in the eyes of the shaking light is more and more obvious.
Shake the light picked up the cup, and looked at Rong Wen from afar, with banter in his eyes.
Feelings can be cultivated, book the girl first. Such a good girl, you can't let others rob her
Rong Wen was helpless on his face, not to mention that he didn't like this girl, even if he liked this girl, it was impossible for him to drag this dilapidated body to harm other girls.
The sound of the flute is melodious, but with a bit of the sonorous sound of the frontier, which causes people to stand on end, as if they are now facing thousands of troops, and the blood in the depths of their hearts has been drawn out. After the song is finished, there are still people in deep aftertaste. Everyone looked at the young man playing the flute, it was none other than Wu Zhezhi.
Are there a few people in the garden who know Wu Zhezhi?
"When did Master Wu return to Beijing? They didn't send anyone to tell us. ”
"Didn't you just come back?" Wu Zhizhi chuckled, and the meaning of romance on his face suddenly appeared, "On another day, I will definitely take everyone to Juxian Mansion to eat enough." ”
"As soon as you Wu Gongzi come, this princess doesn't know how to hold this chrysanthemum banquet?"
Wu Zhizhi is obviously very popular, and as soon as he appeared, everyone greeted him one after another. Even Princess Kaiyang, the organizer of this chrysanthemum feast, joked with him.
Shaking a smile and bringing the glass to himself. Wu Zhezhi, General Wu's lone seedling.
"Yo, Gongzi Xie, what are you doing here alone to relieve your worries?" Wu Zhizhi caught a glimpse of Xie Qiyuan, who was drinking alone at the edge, and raised his leg to Xie Qiyuan's side.
"Yo, whose girl is this? How can a long one be so iconic? ”
Xie Qiyuan raised his head and followed Wu Zhizhi's line of sight. I just saw the appearance of shaking the light to remove the wine cup from his lips, and his gestures were full of style, but also with a domineering color. Sensing that someone was looking at her, she shook her lips and smiled, with her own beauty.
Wu Zhizhi covered his heart and lamented, "Which girl is this, I'm going to hire, I'm hiring, I've never seen a girl from this family before!" ”
Xie Qiyuan was obviously also sucked by the smile that shook his soul, and when he reacted, Wu Zhizhi was already paralyzed on his body.
"She is the Ninth Princess."
I don't know which string Wu Zhizhi touched with this sentence, he jumped up violently, and the regret on his face just now had disappeared at this moment, replaced by a face full of shock, "She is the Ninth Princess?" ”
"Or what do you think?"
Wu Zhizhi didn't answer, Xie Qiyuan looked up just in time to see Wu Zhizhi looking at the scene of shaking the light in a daze.
There was some displeasure in his heart inexplicably, so Wu Zhizhi felt that his knees were weak, and he immediately sat on the chair.
Wu Zhizhi was stunned and rubbed his leg that had just been kicked, and said dumbfoundedly, "She is the Ninth Princess?" ”
Xie Qiyuan glanced at Wu Zhizhi and didn't want to answer. But I just felt a beam of gaze that fell on me and was looking.
This gaze made him uncomfortable. I looked up, but I didn't see who was staring at me.
Xie Qiyuan was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
There are no people in the whole garden, and the only people who know each other cannot be said to know each other at this moment. Shaguang was helpless in his heart, so he found an excuse and slipped out.
Xie Qiyuan didn't notice that Wu Zhizhi, who had always been noisy, was sitting quietly beside him at the moment, and he disappeared after Princess Shaoguang disappeared from everyone's sight.
"The princess stays."
"Who are you?" Shaking the light and turning around, he saw the young man who had just played the flute following behind him, his face nervous.
"Minister Wu Zhizhi, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Wu Zhezhi's face was solemn, and he bowed deeply to Shaoguang. Even if Xie Qiyuan, who often plays with Wu Zhizhi, is standing here, I am afraid that he can't believe that Wu Zhizhi, who has always been frivolous, will have such a solemn scene.
"I know who you are." Shaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of hearing Wu Zhizhi's name and instantly eased up, "No need to be polite." ”
"Your Highness the Princess." Wu Zhizhi straightened up, he didn't know what to say, he stared at the light in a daze, it turned out that this woman was the person their Wu family should be loyal to?
This bearing, this grace on her body, is not something that a person who has been imprisoned in Jingshan since he was a child will have. So, does she have to be the woman? Wu Zhizhi thought in his heart.
He suddenly began to wonder how this woman, the person he wanted to be loyal to, survived on Jingshan, and how she got to where she is now, step by step, to the capital.
"I've seen you." Seeing that Wu Zhizhi was so nervous, Shaoguang chuckled.
At this moment, the night was dark, and the face of the shaking light was all hidden in the darkness, and only a rough outline could be seen. Hearing the laughter of shaking light, Wu Zhizhi suddenly turned red, but fortunately, in the night, no one saw it.
Dad, I'm sorry for you, Wu Zhizhi is ashamed of his appearance.
"Is there anything that Her Royal Highness Princess is missing when she returns to Beijing?" Wu Zhezhi said respectfully, "If you have any needs, just tell me, I will do my best." ”
Wu Zhe's heart was worried, but fortunately, the princess didn't hear the words she had just said in front of Xie Qiyuan that she was going to be hired. If you hear it, you don't know how many lives you have left to live. Without the princess's help, with his father's loyalty to the princess, he may not survive tonight.
He suddenly felt that life was so difficult.
"What are you nervous about?" Shake Light chuckled, "I won't eat you again." But since you said so, I will look for you if I need anything in the future. ”
When I arrived in the capital, there was no activity, and the foundation was unstable, and everything that was needed was arranged for Wu Zhezhi. It just so happens that she also needs a character who knows the capital very well. Now it seems that Wu Zhezhi, who grew up in the capital since he was a child, is the most suitable.
Moreover, she doesn't need to worry about Wu Zhezhi's personality.
After all, his father ...... But General Wu.
"The minister must do his best to satisfy the princess!"
Wu Zhizhi bowed deeply again.
In the night, there was a laugh that could not be hidden, "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm still very easy to get along with." ”
"Yes, Princess." Wu Zhizhi said solemnly again.
On the other side, Xie Qiyuan found that the Ninth Princess, who had been sitting there quietly since she appeared, had disappeared at some point.
Even Wu Zhizhi didn't know when he disappeared.
