Chapter 14: Encounter with the Red Leaf Forest

Red Leaf Forest, located in the eastern suburbs of the city, a red forest.

When His Majesty was young, he loved red leaves, and specially found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the eastern suburbs, carved out a piece of land, and planted red leaves.

In the first few years, it was forbidden for any idle people to enter, and only the children of the royal family could enjoy the beautiful scenery and chant poetry and music in this red leaf forest.

Soon, His Majesty felt that such a beautiful scenery should not be exclusive to the royal family, and gradually let go, and ordinary people could also come here. Especially those who dance and write and write books, they come here every once in a while to compose poems and songs.

Song Wu'er and Chu Mi'er walked together, followed by two servants and maidservants. Along the way, there are not a few people who go to the red leaf forest like them. Among them, there are several young girls, when talking to friends around them, they are shy and timid, and their eyes are a little nervous, afraid that they will wait to see the person they like.

The same is true for the person next to him.

"Mi'er, just seeing King Nan'an, why are you so nervous?" It's not the first time I've gone to a tryst, and I've been in the palace before, isn't it quite bold?

"King Nan'an just wants to see his sister, but I followed my sister over, and the prince will be unhappy to see me."

"Doesn't he want to see you too? It's a waste of time to see each other separately, it's better to see them together, and save the same words, repeat them to you and me. "Chu Xun'er asked last night that the time when King Nan'an made an appointment to meet Chu Mi'er was an hour earlier than her.

This one hour is enough to do a lot of things.

While talking, the two walked to the agreed place, and the king of Nan'an and his little servant were already waiting there.

Dressed in a snow-blue robe, holding a folding fan, he stood fluttering, attracting the attention of countless women.

"Cousin Wu'er, I knew you would definitely come over." Seeing Song Wu'er in the crowd, Lou Jingyuan greeted him with a smile.

Who doesn't know the king of Nan'an, who is handsome and the prince who is pro-titled, which girl did not secretly set him as her sweetheart.

His smile was like a spring breeze, and the woman next to him couldn't take his eyes off or take a step. Those who have already been other women's women dare to take a few open looks, and those who have not yet left the cabinet hurriedly put them aside after a glance, but they can't help but want to look at them a few more times.

Lou Jingyuan's warm smile, when he saw the figure behind Song Wu'er, the smile suddenly froze on his face. These two lines of sight looked at each other for a long time, if it weren't for Song Wu'er coughing lightly, I was afraid that the two of them would look at each other for a long time.

Song Wu'er was speechless in her heart, and it was just enough to meet in a secluded place in private, in broad daylight and in public, they were so unscrupulous. Do you want their affairs to be known all over the city?

Then I thought about it, it is not impossible for the whole city to know, don't involve her innocent, it's okay.

The two stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "See King Nan'an." ”

The corners of Lou Jingyuan's mouth twitched a few times, and he quickly changed to a smile, but this smile was slightly contrived, with a little weakness.

"Cousin met Miss Chu on the way here?"

"Back to the prince, we came together, not on the road." Song Wu'er ruthlessly broke his unrealistic illusions. "Lord Wang, why is your face so bad, is it not feeling well, do you want to go back and rest?"

"It's okay, the king's body is fine. It's just that when did this king become so alienated from his cousin that his cousin actually called this king 'prince' instead of cousin? ”

Song Wu'er's attitude made Lou Jingyuan frown, he didn't expect that in just a few days, Song Wu'er would be so estranged from him. Could it be that what Chu Mi'er said last night made her attitude change?

Thinking of this, Lou Jingyuan cast an inquiring glance at Chu Mi'er, but Chu Mi'er lowered her eyes and didn't want to look at him.

"If the prince thinks it's inappropriate, then Wu'er will call the prince 'cousin'." Song Wu'er kept reminding herself that she should lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to her eyes, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she should not rush to have a showdown with King Nan'an, she also wanted to hear how her cousin should explain it.

"This king and Wu'er have something to talk about, Miss Chu might as well enjoy the scenery in this red leaf forest first, although the red leaves have not yet fully shown the color of red, but it still has a unique flavor. Half an hour later, we met in the gazebo in front. ”

Lou Jingyuan was smiling, his tone was flat, even if Chu Mi'er had long been used to it, he still couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and he was extremely bored. In front of outsiders, Lou Jingyuan is the prince, Chu Mi'er is the official lady, both of them are unmarried, there is no other intersection, and they should have spoken politely.

"Then Mi'er won't bother the prince, and retire first."

"Wait." Chu Mi'er wanted to turn around and leave, but Song Wu'er grabbed her, "Cousin, what you want to say to me, Mi'er can listen to it." I didn't plan to come to see my cousin, but I took pity on Mi'er and came with her to the appointment. If my cousin wants to avoid her, then I'll go home first. ”

"Cousin, you ......" Song Wu'er made a gesture to leave, Lou Jingyuan of course would not let her leave, so he could only let Chu Mi'er leave, "There are a lot of people here, let's go to the pavilion over there to rest." ”

There are only a few places in the whole red leaf forest where pavilions are built, and most of them are places where people who read books gather. At this time, Lou Jingyuan took them to a relatively remote place, and no one else disturbed them, which was just right for them to talk.

Lou Jingyuan sent a few little maids to guard the periphery, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

"Cousin, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Cousin, the facts of that day were a misunderstanding."

Misunderstand? What you saw with your own eyes, could it be a misunderstanding? Song Wu'er sneered, she had seen the marriage of King Nan'an in her last life, but fortunately she found out in time and punished her secretly.

He didn't have to guess the next explanation, Song Wu'er didn't want to hear it, and she still had to find out what she said.

"Cousin, you and Mi'er are in love, why don't you dare to look directly into your heart, but choose to escape again and again?" Song Wu'er questioned with a fierce attitude.

"Cousin, it seems that you really misunderstood." Lou Jingyuan's tone was firm, and he calmly explained what had happened recently, "Your Majesty has his own mother concubine to deal with, cousin rest assured, after this king marries his cousin, he will definitely treat each other sincerely." ”

"Don't you feel ashamed that your cousin said such undesirable words in front of Mi'er? Mi'er treats you sincerely, understands your hardships, and is reluctant to fulfill you and me, and the affection is not reduced by half. I thought that my cousin was the same for Mi'er, but today it seems that my cousin's affection for her is nothing more than that. Song Wu'er thought about Chu Mi'er every word, and spoke coldly to Lou Jingyuan.

"Sister Wu'er, don't say it." Chu Mi'er saw that Lou Jingyuan's face was not good, so she hurriedly pulled the corner of Song Wu'er's clothes, begging her not to continue.

"Cousin, you pushed me to others, don't you have any affection for me?"

Song Wu'er shook her head slightly, "Wu'er only has brother and sister affection for her cousin, not for children. ”

"It's a really lively place today." The deep voice came from far and near, and after a while, a figure walked up to the three of them, "The third emperor brother has two beauties as companions today, so Yaxing, so happy." ”

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The person who came was Li Chen, the prince of the building.

Faded to bright yellow and changed into the clothes of the children of the official family, it was difficult to hide its edge.

"When you're out and about, you don't have to be polite."

Lou Jingyuan looked at the little maid who was following behind, trembling, and scolded: "How did you do it?" When the royal brother came, he didn't report it, and there were more and more rules. ”

The subordinates threw themselves on their knees and bowed to the ground, constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Third Emperor Brother, when did your strength become so small when you were angry about this little thing? It's no wonder that they didn't let them report it, and they couldn't stop me. ”

"The prince is benevolent, don't hurry up and thank the prince." Lou Jingyuan didn't seem to care that Lou Lichen said that he had little energy, and praised him vigorously.

In other words, when others are praised, they will politely reply a few words and be polite to each other. In Lou Lichen's world, he never knew the word politeness, and he was ruthless when he seized the opportunity.

"Benevolence? Third Emperor Brother, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to use this word to describe me? ”

Seeing the embarrassment on Lou Jingyuan's face, Song Wu'er couldn't hold back a smile, he was not stupid, and he was a little self-aware. He also looks benevolent on the surface, and when he speaks with one mouth, he becomes mean, and it is a loss that Lou Jingyuan can say it, isn't it equivalent to getting up to Lou Lichen by himself?

For a moment, the atmosphere stiffened.

Song Wu'er looked around, but didn't see the slightest shadow of Kong Shiren, didn't he arrive yet?

She came to this red leaf forest, in the final analysis, to come and see why Prince Lou Lichen argued with Kong Shiren.

Lou Lichen has a poisonous mouth, everything else is fine, in government affairs, even her father Song Shipu has praised him for his outstanding ability. In his previous life, after today, his situation has completely changed, Song Wu'er can't bear to repeat history, and she will definitely try her best to stop it later.

"What is Miss Song thinking, shouldn't she call you a few times?"

I suddenly felt a warm breath in my ears, and subconsciously turned my head to look, and a big face came into view, which frightened her to stumble under her feet, wave her hands wildly, and turn around twice before she stabilized.

In a trance, she seemed to hear Chu Mi'er's exclamation, mixed with other screams. When she came back to her senses, King Nan'an and a few little servants were nowhere to be seen.

"Sister Wu'er, are you okay?"

Chu Mi'er's face turned slightly pale, and Song Wu'er asked puzzledly, "Why is your face so bad?" What happened? ”

Without waiting for an answer, he heard Lou Lichen gritting his teeth, "Looking at your thin and weak, this weight and strength are not light." He sat on a stone bench and seemed to be patient.

"What did you say?" Song Wu'er had no idea what was going on. "Mi'er, what's the matter, King Nan'an?"

Chu Mi'er hurriedly explained in her ear.

Listening to this, the corners of Song Wu'er's mouth twitched slightly. She slowly moved her gaze to Lou Lichen's left foot, his feet trembled from time to time, and she looked at the bottom of the pavilion again, Lou Jingyuan was supported by two little guys, disheveled, and gray-headed.

trampled on the prince and knocked the king of Nan'an off the pavilion.

Song Wu'er smiled bitterly, it shouldn't be the prince who is unlucky today, but her.
