Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flowers Fall Silently
"What does Miss Elin think? Do you want me to burn incense with my clean hands every day, and offer you respectfully? Huayan turned around and smiled lightly.
When he smiled, his eyes were as bright as stars, which were especially shining in the dark night, exuding charming charm.
Lin Yunrou also couldn't care about everyone's beautiful demeanor, and stepped forward to make the ground speechless for a long time.
"You! ...... It's too much of a deception! ”
Seeing Lin Yunrou's face red and his ears red, and his whole body trembling, this made the painting Yan who was leaning against the tree and watching the play feel a little distressed.
"Hahaha...... Why can't I leave this veil when you are you, it turns out that I am afraid that my appearance will be ugly, hahaha......" However, Lin Yunrou, who was extremely angry just now, leaned forward and laughed at this time, losing her demeanor.
"What are you laughing at! If you don't stop talking, don't blame my men for being ruthless. Seeing that Lin Yunrou humiliated her young lady like this, Sheng Lan angrily stepped forward and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the faster painting Yan.
Hua Yan shook his head and motioned for Sheng Lan to retreat, and while taking the veil and putting it back on casually, he looked at Lin Yunrou mockingly, thinking to himself.
It's no wonder that Lin Yunrou laughed so out of shape, her unveiled black pockmarked face just now was indeed extremely ugly, of course she didn't know that it was specially made by herself.
The reason for chasing it is not to deal with Mrs. Zhang's situation and avoid the occurrence of marriage. Now that her father has won the emperor's attention because of disaster relief, Mrs. Zhang has been constantly wooing courtiers for her son Liu Yifu recently, how can she let go of such an important person. If you don't pretend to be ugly, how can you escape this game?
Of course, thanks to the help of Xin Qiao and Sheng Lan, this was able to escape the many pairs of eyes in the painting house. Besides, I have done more than one or two things to be ugly, otherwise how could there be those rumors. It is no exaggeration to say that if you really show your true face, I don't know how much chaos this beautiful face will cause to you.
"Be careful if you laugh badly, and you won't be accompanied by you." Hua Yan dropped this sentence and turned to leave.
Lin Yunrou was not addicted to it, and wanted to catch up and say a few more times, but how did she slip under her feet, and she actually raised her head and planted it in the pond.
Seeing this scene when Hua Yan turned around, he immediately turned around and leaped forward as if reflexively, trying to reach out and hold her, but it was too late. Hearing the popping sound of the pond, Lin Yunrou fell.
"Help! Help me! ”
"Come on, someone, someone fell into the pond, come and save someone!" The girl who followed Lin Yunrou shouted loudly as she ran.
Although Huayan didn't treat Lin Yunrou very much, he didn't really want to go against her in his heart. Seeing that Lin Yunrou, who was so weak, fell into the bottomless black pond, Huayan was really worried in her heart, and she didn't think much about it and wanted to jump off the pond to save her, but her steps were too strong, and she accidentally sprained her foot and fell to the ground.
"Sheng Lan, I'm afraid she won't be able to swim when she looks like her, go and save her." Hua Yan pressed his sprained ankle and said with difficulty.
"Yes, Miss, you will wait for me here first."
After Sheng Lan finished speaking, he was about to save Lin Yunrou, but he saw a person on the other side jump out and jump first.
After a while, the man rescued Lin Yunrou from the pond and carried her to the pavilion by the pond.
Painting Yan asked Sheng Lan to support him and follow him, only to realize that there was a small pavilion on the opposite side of the pond, and it was Xiao Minglang who had just gone into the water to save people, and the owner of the palace was also here.
Seeing that Lin Wanrou was fine, Huayan held on to herself and calmly walked to the chair next to her and sat down.
Liu Che'er has been looking at her with wide eyes since she walked into the pavilion, and she has never said a word. Xiao Minglang cared about Lin Yunrou so much that he didn't even raise his head.
It turned out that Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang came to the pavilion because they wanted to avoid everyone and discuss things earlier, and because Lord Shangshu visited on the way, Xiao Minglang rushed to the front to meet his teacher. Because the matter has not been resolved, Liu Che'er waited in the pavilion, who knew that when Xiao Minglang came back, he met the scene of Lin Yunrou falling into the water, but he didn't know what happened before, except for Liu Che'er.
"No coincidence is not a book!" Huayan first broke the atmosphere and smiled.
Liu Che'er took another step forward and stared at Huayan and asked, "What is the coincidence?" ”
Huayan didn't want them to know their identity, so they were speechless for a while, so they had to talk about it to themselves.
“...... Someone fell into the water, and someone immediately came to rescue, isn't it a coincidence? Hehe......"
Just when Liu Che'er wanted to say something, a large group of people came outside the pavilion one after another.
I saw that the leader was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, with her head raised very high, trying to make a proud look. The group of people behind the girl are also teenage girls, but the latter part of them seem to be more restrained.
Okay, this is the rhythm of a group fight, and the painting is observing this wave of people with interest.
The girl walked up to Liu Che'er, learned from the serious appearance of an adult, and saluted Liu Che'er respectfully, "Third brother, why are you here?" Let Xin Nan be easy to find. ”
"Xiao Minglang greets Princess Yuzhang." Xiao Minglang stood up and saluted.
"Xiao Gongzi is exempt."
"Xinnan? It's a familiar name......" said to himself.
A little maid walked out beside Princess Yuzhang and said arrogantly to Huayan and the others,
"The princess has arrived, why don't you three hurry up and salute?!"
Lin Yunrou gently wiped the water droplets on her face, so she pretended to bow to the ground weakly. "Lin Yunrou pays a visit to Princess Yuzhang."
Seeing that Shenglan was glaring at himself, he realized that he hurriedly made a barely passable salute.
"Just now the maid came to report that someone had fallen into the pond? Mrs. Zhang was busy preparing for the banquet, and her Royal Highness was specially ordered to deal with the matter. You know what a big deal it is in the Yidu Mansion today, and now there are still people who are so unruly, if this princess finds out this person, it will not be spared. Although Princess Yuzhang didn't name her, her eyes kept staring at Huayan.
The painting face is partial and ignorant, and he is still wandering on the side as if nothing happened.
But Lin Yunrou was frightened by these words, and she had just soaked in cold water in the pond, and the panic and cold made her tremble.
At this time, Xiao Minglang immediately took off the coat that the girl sent to change into and draped it on Lin Yunrou's body.
Lin Yunrou glanced at Xiao Minglang gratefully, then turned to Princess Yuzhang and said, "The princess forgives her sins, Yunrou is unintentional...... It's just that I offended Miss Painting No. 2 somewhere, so I fell to such a point. Lin Yunrou hugged her trembling body, and pretended to look at the painting pitifully.
"You mean she pushed you into the water? Don't be afraid, to tell the truth, if you really have a grievance, this princess will administer justice for you. ”
Princess Yuzhang seemed to be interested, and took two steps closer to Lin Yunrou.
Sheng Lan on the side was already furious, "Obviously you accidentally fell down yourself, but you came to slander my young lady!" ”
"How can you talk to a girl here, don't retreat."
Princess Yuzhang still only looked at the painting between her words, but there was no superfluous expression on her calm face.
Looking at the formation of this group of people, Hua Yan already understood in his heart that the person who came was not good, but he didn't know why he caused public indignation.
is a good Lin Yunrou, blaming herself for being blinded by kindness, and now she will have the opportunity to be bitten by others.
And that Liu Che'er too, since he entered this pavilion, his every move has become so strange, and this time he stared at the Shenglan girl beside him, didn't he see something?
"Miss Painting, what do you have to say?" Princess Yuzhang finally found the conversation and threw it at Huayan.
A one-to-ten loss-making business, painting Yan naturally won't do it, the hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, she pretended to be obedient and said: "The courtier is at fault, and I hope the princess will forgive." ”
"What? You, you admit it?! ”
Princess Yuzhang's eyes widened in surprise, and she lowered her posture and returned to her childlike appearance. Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang also looked at Huayan very unexpectedly, but they seemed to have doubts about her words, Lin Yunrou was even more frightened and sat motionless on the side, while the group of people behind the princess stared at Huayan like wolves.
Hua Yan still replied with a bow: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, yes, the courtiers have no way to discipline the girl, and they have collided with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the courtiers are guilty of dereliction of duty, please forgive the princess." ”
Princess Yuzhang then asked, "That's all you have to say?" ”
"Yes"
"She just identified you, can you admit it?"
"The courtiers didn't actually know her, and they had nothing to admit. The courtiers are innocent, and they believe very much that under the investigation and judgment of the smart Princess Yuzhang, right and wrong will come to the surface, so the courtiers don't need to say much. ”
The calm and calm demeanor of the painting had to disappoint the onlookers watching the play, and it also made Lin Yunrou hate her very much.
At this moment, a woman slowly walked out of the crowd, and she bowed respectfully and humbly to the king and princess of Yidu.
"Courtiers Xu Suhua, meet King Yidu and Princess Yuzhang. When Miss Lin accidentally fell into the water, the courtiers happened to be here, and they saw the truth. The fact that the courtiers saw was that this matter had nothing to do with Miss Huaer, and Miss Lin was wrong when she accidentally fell into the water and panicked. ”
Liu Che'er's eyes lit up, and she asked again, "Where does your father work?" ”
Su Hua replied, "My father is Xu Xiangong. ”
When she heard someone talking for herself, she raised her eyes and saw that the woman was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, as gentle and lovely as kapok, and her demeanor was dignified and elegant, so she was a wonderful person. Although her body shape is slightly similar to Lin Yunrou, she is not as graceful and agile as her.
Liu Che'er said with a smile: "It turned out to be the daughter of Duke Xu, and her bearing is really extraordinary." ”
"Oh? Is that so? Princess Yuzhang seemed to think of something, and turned to Lin Yunrou again. Miss Lin, how do you answer? I just heard Miss Hua say this, and I actually remembered, I don't know who you are, how can you come to my third brother's mansion. ”
"Okay, Xinnan, Miss Lin is my friend, she was brought by me, it's all a misunderstanding." Liu Che'er turned to Lin Yunrou again, "Miss Lin, it's all to blame for the king's poor arrangement, he didn't put a few more lights here, and the road was slippery after dark, so that Miss Lin accidentally fell into the water, and the girl was afraid that she misunderstood Miss Hua'er." ”
When Lin Yunrou heard this, her heart sank, and she immediately understood that King Yidu had changed his name and did not call his name, because he was deliberately distancing himself, and he chose to stand on her side this time.
Although Lin Yunrou had endless sadness in her heart at this time, she had to bow her head. "Hearing what the prince said, I just thought about it, it is indeed that I misunderstood the second miss, and Wan Rou is here to make amends." After Lin Yunrou finished speaking, she leaned over and bowed to Huayan to apologize.
There is a degree of variety, and Lin Yunrou is still aware of current affairs. And although this Princess Yuzhang looks arrogant and domineering on the surface, she is actually a simple child. Hua Yan smiled secretly in his heart, did not answer, and only returned the salute slightly.
Princess Yuzhang saw that Liu Che'er intended to protect the two, and knew that her third brother usually liked to make friends, and never cared about his identity and family background, so it was no longer easy to investigate. "Since you are a friend of the third brother, then give up. The third brother's father is coming, so let's go and prepare to take over. ”
Seeing that a big storm was coming, it was calmed down by a few words from Liu Che'er, the owner of Yidu Palace, and had to disappoint the group of idlers who came to watch the battle.
"Okay, you go first."
Liu Che'er waited for the group of people to walk away, and then walked to Huayan's side and said softly: "After the banquet, I have something to say to you, after all, I haven't seen you for several years." ”
"I ...... When did I meet you. ”
Huayan panicked to avoid Liu Che'er's scorching gaze, so he pretended to be calm, but kept beating drums in his heart. Did this guy find out who I am? No, at most, he could only find out that the person who saved him back then was me, and he would never think of the eighth master. But how did he find me?
Liu Che'er glanced at the painting slyly, smiled slightly, and walked towards the front yard with his usual chic steps.
Xiao Minglang had already automatically asked Ying to escort Lin Yunrou back to the guest room to rest, he only paid attention to Lin Yunrou from beginning to end, and didn't care about the painting on the side. Huayan walked back silently, only occasionally sighing at the withered apricot blossoms in the garden, so beautiful, but not noticeable.
