Chapter 135: King Pengcheng
Outside the gate of Yidu Palace, Liu Che'er personally went out to greet him.
Liu Yikang personally helped Lilinlang get out of the car and came to Liu Che'er.
Tately Linlang looked up and saw that the door plaque read 'Yidu Wangfu' four big characters, and then she knew the origin of the other party, and remembered that she had just made a reckless statement, and couldn't help but gasp.
Zhong Laosan was even more frightened and didn't dare to come out.
Facing Liu Che'er, Liu Yikang was obviously a little restrained, knowing that he had missed the time because of his greed, he leaned over Liu Che'er with a nervous mood and said, "Third brother! Brother is late! ”
He actually called King Yidu the third brother? Could it be that he is also a prince? Tate, Linlang looked at Liu Yikang next to him suspiciously.
Liu Che'er affectionately helped Liu Yikang up and asked with concern: "Brother Kang, are you okay along the way?" ”
Liu Yikang saw that his third brother was not angry at all, and the stone in his heart also fell to the ground, and responded with a bright smile: "Everything is fine!" Fortunately, I only brought Yinghan out, so I didn't delay a little along the way! ”
Look at the intimate appearance of the two of them, they are really a family! Tateshi, Linlang quietly patted her chest, obviously shocked.
"It's a long way to go, and Brother Kang only brings one guard? If you run into a villain, won't you suffer a big loss?! That's too rash! Liu Che'er said with a little reproach.
"Eh, the third brother doesn't know, Yinghan is famous, he can fight against a hundred, and he is also a well-known master in the rivers and lakes. Is that scoundrel his opponent? That's why I kept him with me. Liu Yikang said proudly.
Ying Han received Liu Yikang's eyes and stood up to salute Liu Che'er.
"Dare to ask where the brother is from?" Xiao Minglang asked with interest.
Ying Han looked at Xiao Minglang vigilantly, he didn't know his details, and he was hesitating to answer.
Liu Che'er explained to him with a smile: "This is a carefree son, Xiao Minglang, and half of the people in the rivers and lakes. People who roam the rivers and lakes have their own chivalrous nature, and I believe that you will be able to get along. ”
"Carefree Son......" Tateshi Linlang thought silently in her heart, and quietly looked at Xiao Minglang with affection.
When Ying Han heard that it was a carefree son, he gradually let down his guard, and replied modestly: "The small people's master is not a famous faction. ”
"Liufang faction?" Xiao Minglang thought silently, he remembered the battle of Qingshan Pavilion not long ago, and he was wary of Ying Han in his heart for a while.
He didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to cast a look at the face behind the crowd.
Hua Yan understood that Xiao Minglang was reminding her to be careful of this character, but she smiled it.
"Come on, let's go in first!" Liu Che'er said, enthusiastically led Liu Yikang to the banquet that had been prepared in the hall and sat down, and suddenly saw a woman following Liu Yikang behind him, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Isn't this the fourth brother and sister?" ”
When Tatelinlang heard this, her face turned crimson, and she was a little annoyed: "Who is his wife?!" ”
The original harmonious scene in the hall was broken by the angry voice of Tatelinlang.
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone looked at Tatelinlang with surprise.
Liu Yikang smiled and played a round game, and introduced Tately Linlang to Liu Che'er: "Third brother, this is a friend I just met in the theater, called Tatelinlang. He deliberately concealed the identity of Tatelinlang.
Liu Che'er was very surprised by Liu Yikang's move, but he didn't show it, and still greeted him with a warm face, "Since we are friends, let's sit together." That's right," halfway through speaking, Liu Che'er suddenly walked to the back of the crowd, brought Huayan to Liu Yikang, and said to him: "Brother Kang, this is Miss Huayan, do you remember?" You also saw it two years ago on the Queen Mother Mountain. ”
"The third brother is saying that she is the lord of the painted face?!" Liu Yikang looked at the woman in red in front of him in disbelief, and he didn't know whether panic or fear was revealed on his immature face.
Hua Yan took off the veil on his face, and bowed to Liu Yikang with a smile, "Hua Yan has seen King Pengcheng." ”
She...... She's really a face! Since he was in Linshui County, Tateshinanlang had seen it, but he didn't want to believe it.
She is so beautiful, compared to her, how much color can I suppress her? It's no wonder that Xiao Minglang only has her in his eyes.
Thinking so, Tateshilinlang was both admiring and jealous in her heart.
Liu Yikang suddenly pulled Liu Che'er to the side and walked to the corner, "Third brother, are you crazy?!" She's a prisoner of the imperial court! ”
Liu Che'er smiled and reassured: "Brother Kang doesn't have to worry, the imperial court has made a truce with Taoyuan, and the past suspicions have been relieved." Well, without further ado, let's get seated. Look, the third brother has prepared all your favorite food for you. ”
Liu Che'er said, pulling Liu Yikang back to his original position.
Everyone was seated.
Also present at the table were Tai Mingyue, Shangguan Zhanfeng and others.
Liu Yikang couldn't wait to pour a glass of wine, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the painting face opposite with puzzled eyes, and poured the wine down in one gulp.
Seeing Liu Yikang's frightened appearance, she couldn't help but feel funny, and she glanced back with a polite smile. Although she has never had a good impression of Liu Yikang, she can't see the slightest abnormality on her calm face.
After the third round of drinking, Liu Che'er suddenly asked Liu Yikang: "Brother Kang, this friend of yours is a local?" Who's in the house? The girl traveled alone, so don't let the family wait in a hurry. ”
Liu Yikang was speechless for a while, he didn't want to say that Tately Linlang was a play, in his opinion, it was a kind of disrespect for Tately Linlang.
Tately Linlang is also a smart and straightforward woman, she feels that Liu Yikang has scruples, but he dislikes his lowly status and is unwilling to say it directly. Standing up generously and said: "Back to the prince, the little girl is not a local, I and my father-in-law are scattered all over the world, and we are at home everywhere. Passing through Pei County, he sang in the opera to make a living. Now at the invitation of this prince, he has come to sing in the house. She pointed at Liu Yikang and said loudly.
Liu Yikang was embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly.
Liu Che'er suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, she is another woman who wanders the rivers and lakes, and she is reckless and hearty!" This king is most willing to make friends with you, and the girl can sit at the table with peace of mind, and the house will take good care of her. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang, but it's better to finish what you need to do before you can enjoy yourself. Since I'm here to sing, I should do my duty. With that, she stood up and cleared her throat a few times.
Don't you feel shameless? I'm going to embarrass you. Thinking angrily, she didn't look at Liu Yikang, walked to the center of the hall alone, and put on a posture.
But when she did, she couldn't help but cringe. Not to mention that there were two princes present, there were more than ten or twenty high-ranking officials in well-dressed clothes looking at him, and the most important thing was Xiao Minglang.
Look at yourself again, but it's just a play to please everyone.
She looked down gloomily, and saw her dusty coarse cloth shoes, and her handkerchief still stained with the withered rouge on her face, and she was even more ashamed of herself.
"The house has not yet had time to prepare a musician, so that the girl will sing like this, it will be inconvenient, I think, or wait for the next time, everything is ready, and then ask the girl to show her singing voice." Huayan looked back at Liu Che'er and smiled to relieve the siege.
Liu Che'er immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, so good." ”
Huayan got up, turned to Tatelinlang and said, "The palace is not well prepared, please forgive Miss Tate." ”
Painting Yan's words are intended to give her the stairs, how can Tateshi Linlang not know. She bowed slightly, without even saying a word of thanks, and sat back down in her place with a look of embarrassment.
The practice of painting her face did not make Tatelinlang feel good, but made her more and more jealous.
Liu Yikang saw that Lily Linlang seemed to be displeased, but he offended her by painting Yan's words, and turned to Huayan and joked: "Who said that there is no musician in the house, this king has seen Xiao Yi of Miss Hua, and at this moment there is wine but no strings, isn't it boring?" Why don't you ask Miss Painting to present a song for everyone? ”
This statement was really effective, and Tateshi, who was still dull just now, instantly regained her interest.
How could a little trick easily provoke the painting face, she looked at Liu Yikang and smiled slowly: "This flute, I don't think it's good to blow it, it's not that I will save the prince's face, but I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to bear it." ”
Huayan refused in public, which made Liu Yikang unhappy, and he said with a fierce face: "What does Miss Painting mean, this king is not worthy of listening to Miss Hua's blowing music?" ”
Huayan lowered his head and smiled, not arguing. She didn't want to offend Liu Yikang, which would make Liu Che'er embarrassed. But she was also reluctant to flatter Liu Yikang, just because she had an instinctive dislike for him.
Xiao Minglang suddenly got up and arched his hand: "The fourth prince is angry, I think Yan'er has no intention of despising the prince." ”
Liu Che'er waved his hand to signal Xiao Minglang to take a seat, turned to Liu Yikang and reprimanded: "Brother Kang! Hugh has to say again! The girl who painted the face was the guest I invited, how can it be a play for you to order music! ”
Liu Yikang saw that Liu Che'er reprimanded himself in public for the sake of painting his face, and he was not convinced, and wanted to continue to defend his third brother, but when he saw that his face was full of anger, he realized that he was really angry, and he just wanted to open his mouth and swallowed his words.
Ying Han, who was standing behind Liu Yikang, knew the power of the Requiem of Painting Face, and hurriedly leaned into Liu Yikang's ear and whispered: "Lord Wang, this woman is extremely powerful, Xiao can kill people invisibly in her hands, and we can't fight with her head-on." ”
When Liu Yikang heard this, he looked up at Huayan in surprise, "If she is really as powerful as Ying Han said, I don't have to be quick at this moment and offend the third brother." Thinking of this, Liu Yikang changed his complexion, turned to Liu Che'er and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Brother Chen's words are gaffe, Brother Wang is not angry." ”
As soon as Lily Linlang heard the word 'drama' said by Liu Che'er, she knew that he was insinuating herself, and her face suddenly turned red.
Without waiting for Liu Che'er to speak, Liu Yikang took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and apologize to Huayan, "It was this king's rude just now, and I hope Miss Huayan will forgive me." ”
With that, he drank the wine from his glass in one gulp.
"It's clever." Painted Yan thought to himself. picked up the wine glass from the table and returned the salute, "It's the prince Haihan, how dare you blame the fourth prince." ”
"Okay, all sit down. Since the fourth brother wants to watch the show, there is one in the house. Liu Che'er nodded to the housekeeper waiting outside the door.
After a while, a dancer in a multicolored cloud sleeve costume flew into the hall.
The accompaniment is not wind music, but a white cloth and a sandalwood ink.
The dance is novel and varied, and after a while, the white cloth becomes a lifelike landscape painting.
When everyone saw this, they applauded.
Liu Yikang didn't pay attention to the so-called performance, took care of Tatelinlang wholeheartedly, and invited her to be in the middle of the house for a few days.
Tately Linlang originally refused, but when she saw Xiao Minglang and Huayan on the other side, talking and laughing, behaving tightly, she was jealous in her heart, in order to have more opportunities to contact Xiao Minglang, she agreed casually.
Hua Yan faintly noticed that there was always a beam of light looming on the other side, and she didn't have to look up to know that it was Tateshi's gaze.
From the first time I saw her, I felt that she was very familiar, like a friend who had known her for many years.
She is lively, quick-witted, unforgiving, much like a person......
yes, isn't it like my coincidence?
Thinking of Xinqiao, the gaze of the painted face gradually dimmed. She was in a heavy mood and poured herself a drink.
The sad past could no longer destroy her, but made her stronger.
The first step has been taken, will victory be far away?
Painting Yan to Liu Yikang, who happened to be looking at him, raised his glass and smiled, and slowly drank the wine in the cup.
