"Well, I heard that he is a cold person. I can't even say anything, and no matter how good it is, it's rude. ”

When the woman next to her heard this, she said, "If you have seen him, you may not think about it." With that, the woman giggled and looked at a woman sitting behind a table across the palace.

The woman who was with her also looked over and continued: "No wonder she, Prince Zhang is indeed good-looking, like a celestial, and has an excellent temperament." ”

Shi Yiguang raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the women who were speaking, and saw that the women were all looking at the opposite side of the palace, and they also looked over.

His eyes fell on Jiang Xu, who was talking across the hall.

She retracted her gaze, lowered her eyebrows, approached Xiong Chao slightly, and said, "Wang Zizhang, how is it?" ”

Xiong Chao, who was eating mulberries, heard the action, his face darkened, and his eyes swept towards Jiang Xu opposite, and then rolled his eyes towards the sky: "Not how." ”

Then he sat upright, but his voice was disdainful: "He is a rude person, he obviously has a mouth, but he is like a mute, and he is silent." As he spoke, Xiong Chao stopped and turned his head to look at Shi Yiguang.

"Speaking of it carefully, it has a virtue with you." Xiong Chao added.

Shi Yiguang rolled his eyes, but there was no response.

The main hall sounded, Shi Yiguang raised his head, and saw that there were waiters outside the hall carrying bronze bells and bells. There is a wooden hammer hanging from the side.

It's time to watch the dance and hear the music.

A row of musical instruments was arranged, and the musicians saluted the King of Chu Zhao and Queen Chu above, and then turned around and picked up the wooden hammer and began to knock it.

The melodious sound of bell music came, and from outside the hall slowly walked into a group of men painted with red paint, holding the gong (yue four tones) pipe (ancient musical instrument, shaped like a flute) in their left hand, and waving a pheasant tail in their right hand, and began to dance to the sound of bell music in the hall.

Shi Yiguang looked at the group of men dancing in front of him and sighed softly.

Forgive her for being too deeply immersed in modern 'bewitching' thoughts, and she can't appreciate such a dance. For a rough person like her, these dances with chicken feathers and wooden flutes in front of her are similar to dancing gods.

"You wait for me here, I'll go out." Xiong Chao in front turned his head and whispered to Shi Yiguang, and then he stood up, walked around the main hall, and walked outside.

Shi Yiguang looked at Xiong Chao's back and looked up at the table opposite. After the low case of the woman who was supposed to be sitting, the person did not know where to go.

The music in front of him came and went, and Wan Wu (Note 1) was still dancing, and the toned dancers were dancing in a chic manner.

The bear walked towards the outside of the hall.

Now the sky is hazy, and the palace lights have been lit. Candles flickered on the stone pillars outside the palace.

Xiong Chao went out of the palace gate, towards the stone road paved outside the palace, the night was hazy, and there were lights and shadows on the stone pillars on both sides swaying in the evening breeze, and the shadows were more than enough.

Xiong Chao walked around the flowers, but after a while, he saw a woman coming out of the pavilion in front of him.

The woman's chin was the first to step in, with a flower hairpin made of jade beads of various colors on her head, and the horns of the garcinia yellow silk skirt were blown up in the evening breeze, swaying lightly. The chrysanthemum bushes next to it are beautiful, and they can't see clearly in the night, but they have another sense of seclusion, and Jiang Xu who came out of the pavilion is even more tranquil and beautiful.

Xiong Chao stood at the intersection of the stone slabs, with his hands in front of his abdomen, and kept rubbing his head in his sleeves, but his face was as indifferent as possible.

"Coincidentally, did Ah Xu come here to see Yeju too?" Xiong Chao stood on the stone road and looked at Jiang Xu, who was already approaching with his dress.

There were still three or four steps away, Jiang Xu stopped, she raised her hand and looked at Xiong Chao, her face was gentle, but her voice was a little cold: "It's not that I came to see Yeju, just passing by." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xiong Chao to reply, nodded slightly, and as a courtesy, he was about to bypass him and walk out.

Seeing this, Xiong Chao hurriedly took a step back and stopped in front of Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu was stopped, raised his head, looked at Xiong Chao, frowned on his indifferent face, and his voice was a little impatient: "Gongzi Chao, what are you doing?" ”

Xiong Chao was not timid, just looked at Jiang Xu, and his voice was a little hesitant: "I, I made a hairpin, but I am very good with you." ”

As he spoke, he held a flower hairpin made of Qiong Yao agate four-color beads in both hands and handed it to Jiang Xu.

While handing it over, his eyes swept towards Jiang Xu's head.

With a sweep, Xiong Chao paused.

Just now in the main hall, Jiang Xu obviously only had one jade tenant on his head, how could he have an extra hairpin when he came out this time?

Seeing the bear facing his head, Jiang Xu frowned, and then tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to avoid Xiong Chao's gaze.

"I understand the kindness of the child, but I don't dare to accept it." After Jiang Xu finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly towards Xiong Chao. When he had made a salute, he walked out of his way.

Xiong Chao suddenly took a step back, blocked in front of Jiang Xu again, looked at her, and his face was a little gloomy: "This is sent by Xiong Zhang, right?" ”

Jiang Xu raised his head and glared at Xiong Chao anxiously, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Xiong Chao, don't talk nonsense!" As he spoke, he stomped his foot angrily, then raised his arm, hid his face, and slammed away from Xiong Chao's body and hurried out.

The maid who followed behind Jiang Xu turned her head, glanced at Xiong Chao, and hurriedly followed.

Xiong Chao turned a deaf ear, just turned sideways, looking at Jiang Xu's figure running away, his face was depressed and sad.

"It was sent by Xiong Zhang." Xiong Chao muttered.

The hairpin is the same as the one that Xiong Zhang gave to Mi Jin.

Did Xiong Zhang do it himself?

Jiang Xu's figure slowly walked away, and Xiong Chao was still standing in place, looking at the empty stone road in a daze.

Autumn chrysanthemums on both sides pressed the branches.

Xiong Chao sighed heavily.

"Ha, I was rejected by the little beauty, and I was in a bad mood?" Suddenly, there was a giggling voice.

Xiong Chao turned his head sharply, and saw Duan Shuyu walking out of the flower bush road on the other side.

Xiong frowned, and said loudly in displeasure: "Duan Shuyu, when did you come?!" ”

"Before you." Duan Shuyu said, walked to Xiong Chao's side, and looked at him.

"How much do you hear?" Xiong Chao looked at Duan Shuyu with a straight face.

Duan Shuyu stood opposite Xiong Chao, pinching the chrysanthemum petals next to him with one hand. Giggled and said, "No more, no less, it will be good to hear." ”

As he spoke, he laughed, and even shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey, our poor son, obviously looks handsome, why can't others look down on him?" Duan Shuyu said, grinning again, pretending to be serious and looking at Xiong Chao's face: "But if you want to be serious, the skin is indeed a little worse than Wang Zizhang." ”

Xiong Chao's face darkened when he heard this.

He turned around and kicked at the chrysanthemum on the side of the road, and said hatefully: "What's so good about Xiong Zhang!" It's like a piece of wood all day long! As he spoke, he kicked at the chrysanthemum bush again, and continued: "In addition to being good-looking, what is the use!" ”
