It was night, the moon was cold and the wind was clear, and a few puffy clouds were floating in the air, covering half of the moonlight.

In a teahouse in Yucheng, the candle shadow is red, the pipa sounds, and there are distinguished guests.

The name of this place is Yinxiang Pavilion, or because of its remote status, it is very deserted.

There is incense in the room, not tea, but the cold sandalwood on the man's body.

At this time, there were only two people in the teahouse, and the boy in silver clothes sat at the table, his slender and white fingers took a white jade tea cup, and looked at the amber liquid in the cup, as if he was a little distracted.

Less than two feet away from him, a white veil hung down, and behind the white veil, a woman could be seen kneeling on the ground, holding the pipa in her arms, and her white fingers gently playing the strings. The sound of the song is like a spring, slow and slow, as if there is nothing.

The woman is dressed in frost blue clothes, no fat powder, light eyebrows and eyes, natural drooping lips, looks like a little sad, her appearance is a little beautiful, not outstanding, but the posture of a middle-aged person is just a pair of eyes Cheng Bright, like water, like a pool.

She sat there, caressing the lute in her arms with an expression on her face, not saying a word, even breathing. The room was eerily quiet.

After a long time, Su Qingluo finally raised his eyes, and his eyebrows were as cold as snow, which made the temperature in the room seem to drop a little, and he said, "Okay." ”

It is not easy to get a word of praise from Su Qingluo. His voice was so faint that it was barely audible.

The woman bowed her head slightly and stopped the piano sound.

"It's time, it's time for Ah Yan to come." Su Qingluo took a sip of tea and said again.

The woman put down the pipa in her arms, walked over slowly, lifted the curtain, and came to Su Qingluo, she knelt down, took the tea cup in his hand, and put the jade tea sets on the table in the tray one by one, the movement was extremely light, from beginning to end, without making a soft sound.

After a while, a new tea has been replaced.

When setting up the tea set, Su Qingluo said, "Qi Niang, you have always understood me best." ”

Qi Niang didn't move when she heard this, in fact, she couldn't speak. It's a pity that Fang is in his prime, but he is a mute who can't speak.

"I did something that I don't know if it was right or wrong." Su Qingluo muttered, "The world is chess, but I won't make every move according to my wishes." If you win, you will win the world, and if you lose, you will lose everything. If I fail, Yin Xia's century-old foundation will be destroyed, and I will be a sinner for the ages. ”

Qi Niang stopped what she was doing, looked at him blankly, and listened to him.

Su Qingluo took a sip of tea, "But there are no regrets, there is no turning back when you open the bow, and you can only take one step at a time." ”

He stroked her hair gently, "The reason why I am willing to tell you this is because you will not tell anyone else, and you will never disobey me. There are thousands of people in this world, and they fear me, respect me, fear me, hate me, but there are few who treat me sincerely. Over the years, I have been in fear and fear, and I have not been able to sleep all day long, and only with you can I find a moment of peace. ”

Qi Niang listened quietly, Su Qingluo smiled at her, "Pour tea, Ah Yan has arrived." ”

Qi Niang turned over two teacups and poured two cups of tea, the tea was freshly boiled, and it was steaming. After the tea was poured, she gently retreated back to her original seat, her fingers plucking the strings, like flowing water, and she had changed the song.

At this moment, someone pushed the door in, and the fire was blazing, and a gust of wind came in. Broke the silence of the room.

As soon as Su Qingfang entered the house, took off his hood, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother rarely arrives early." ”

Su Qingluo shook the teacup, smiled lightly, and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"Is there anything else I can't do?" Su Qingyan sat down and took a sip of tea, "Chengye and Song Lian separated when they arrived in Chengjiang, but these two are strange, Song Lian went down the river, and the boat people disappeared as soon as they got off, and there was no news about Chengye entering Dongyan, but it can be concluded that he did not return to Yandu." He looked up and smiled meaningfully, "There's something you're interested in." ”

Su Qingluo raised her eyebrows, "Let's talk about it." ”

"The spies reported that the eldest princess of Dongyan Cheng Yuexi left the palace without authorization."

Su Qingluo frowned, "What is she doing when she leaves the palace?" ”

Su Qingqian smiled: "Princess Yue, she has always liked to fight and kill, how can she be missing in such a thing as war, do you say yes or no?" ”

Su Qingluo nodded, closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, "What's new?" ”

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that someone saw Lan Ruoxuan, who has always been elusive, haunted near Pengcheng, this person is generous, and wherever he goes, he must live in the best restaurant, eat the best food, and be very chic, and the most enviable thing is that he has two beauties with him."

Su Qingluo opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "Such a swagger through the market can only be done by Chengye." Take the Moon Princess with him, and he will come up with it. ”

Su Qingqian said: "I didn't understand before, why did he do this, as soon as my brother said this, I understood, the more he swaggered, the more Chengyi didn't dare to do anything to him, with Princess Yue by his side, no matter what he did, with this sister to bear, Emperor Yan couldn't." ”

Yes, Emperor Yan doted on this daughter, and no concubine or prince in the palace could match her in the slightest.

Not only because the Dongyan royal family only

This princess, Princess Gengyue, is talented, beautiful, and can easily compare with several princes in terms of literary talent and martial arts.

It is said that Emperor Yan once threatened that if the princes were not as good as Princess Yue in the future, he might consider setting a precedent for this daughter, and it is unknown to pass on the throne to her.

is so pampered, it's really beyond people's reach.

is also because the reputation of the princess is too noisy, and Emperor Yan's requirements for the concubine are also very high, and even the princess of the moon is now twenty-one, and she has never been married.

Su Qingluo turned the teacup in his hand and thought thoughtfully, "It's just that Lan Ruoxuan's identity is actually to cover up, but it's a bit redundant." He had a complicated expression. There was a faint worry, but there was a hint of imperceptible joy on the tips of his eyebrows, "Such a strange and thoughtful person is a rare opponent. ”

Su Qingyan continued: "It's not! It is rumored that the third son of Middle East Yan is unruly, has no ambitions, and only knows how to have fun all day long, who would have thought that it would be such a character. ”

Su Qingluo instructed, "Carefully find out where Song Lian has gone, as well as her identity and origin, since the two of them are separated, it must be Chengye who gave her another task." There is also Lan Ruoxuan, find out the relationship between Wuyike and the Dongyan royal family. ”

"Yes." Su Qingluo should go down.

After a long time, Su Qingluo said again: "If it's okay tomorrow, follow me to the Ming Palace." ”

"Brother seems to be very attentive to that girl." Su Qingqian joked, "Isn't our seventh girl's song as good as her?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the woman who was playing the pipa, "tsk" twice, and shook his head, "I don't understand, what a girl, you are willing to do it?" ”

Qi Niang still bowed her head quietly and played music, as if she hadn't heard it.

The music was not loud, but it was enough to drown out the voices of the two.

Su Qingluo said: "Shen Yu, this girl, is different from the woman next to her, I don't know why, I looked at her, like I had seen it somewhere." ”
