Nan Jiyue held a cup of tea in her hand and looked at the backs of the three of them in the distance. Chu Xihua sat down beside him and explained: "Ji Yue Gongzi, cousin, she grew up in Bicang City since she was a child, and her behavior is inevitably a little rude, don't you mind. ”

Acting rudely? Nan Jiyue glanced at her quietly, remembering the scene just now when Chu Jiangli saw the two of them together, her expression did not change, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, and a little impatience arose in her heart. The slender fingers tightened the teacup in his hand, "Miss Chu, do you like the lotus flowers in this pool?" ”

Yesterday, after Chu Jiangli told Nan Jiyue where he was, she pretended to be sick and saw him. There were many beautiful women in the Wangfeng Hall, and he treated her no different from ordinary patients, and his words were polite and detached. When she mentioned that she came to him to find him what Chu Jiangli meant, his expression finally changed, a little surprised, a little helpless. From this, it can be seen that Chu Jiangli's weight in his heart must not be light.

Chu Xihua carefully guessed the intention of Nan Jiyue's question, and replied carefully, "The lotus flowers bloom very well, red as blood, pink as crystals, white as frost, and purple as yarn." Presumably, the gardener took good care of it. ”

"yes, it drove well." There are a few big lotus flowers here, one on that side, red here, and snow there. It's like a chess game, it's placed in the most appropriate position. Nan Jiyue put down the teacup, "Miss Chu slowly enjoy the flowers, Jiyue takes the first step." ”

Chu Xihua was very angry, so angry that he wanted to smash the teacup on the table. But I thought that this was in the imperial garden in the palace, and smashing things would inevitably cause more trouble, so I endured my anger. became more and more dissatisfied with Chu Jiangli in her heart, and felt that Chu Jiangli was deliberately losing her face. While pretending to be unfamiliar with Jiyue Gongzi, he wanted to be captured. While not letting go of the other sons, he deliberately seduced them away after she came.

"Why?! Isn't it just a little better-looking? In a little more than a month, you will feel better. Chu Xihua cursed Chu Jiangli in a low voice.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and a thick unwillingness filled her heart. She was also the proud daughter of the sky, the daughter of the servant of the dignified ceremonial department. Just because of a little quarrel that provoked a speech official, he was somehow dragged into the Great Yi Dynasty by the speech official. The emperor was furious and condemned his family. His father died, and his mother couldn't stand it and died. The others, walking, scattering, and scattering, the entire Yangxing has no relatives.

It is not easy for her to survive as a weak woman, and she has received a lot of cold eyes and ridicule. Later, General Chu returned to Yangxing and connected her to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which was a bittersweet end. She can't compare with the other ladies in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but Chu Jiangli, the daughter born to an abandoned woman, dares to be so arrogant. has a very poor reputation, but there are so many excellent men around her.

She tasted a huge setback on Chu Jiangli, and she tried her best to even calculate how long she could take steps to maintain the most beautiful posture. Clothes, jewelry, what to say, these have all been carefully considered, and she relied on this skill to make her life less depressed before General Chu returned to Yangxing.

Chu Jiangli, why can he attract everyone's attention by saying a few idle words? Why is the daughter of an abandoned woman, under the fence, living casually by relying on her mother's maiden life, and has the momentum of not putting everyone in her eyes. The sense of injustice in Chu Xihua's heart became more and more prevalent, and he just waited for the right time to spray the fire that had accumulated for a long time.

Chu Jiangli didn't expect that Chu Xihua would have such a strong resentment against her. At this time, she was walking side by side with Nan Jiyue on the shady path. The trail is not wide, allowing two people to walk side by side, and the trail extends all the way to the belly of the rockery in front.

Crape myrtles are planted on both sides of the path, and the lilac petals cover the ground like purple satin. The two walked on the path, the man was personable, with an intoxicating smile on his lips. The woman's posture was casual, her eyes squinting at the man next to her, and her face was sneering. Looking at it from afar, it looks like a fairy couple.

There were few people in this place, and the two walked for a long time, and no one else came. "Hypocrite, you see that this place is full of vegetation and sparsely populated, and it is really a wonderful place. It's strange that you want to rely on me all the time, it turns out that you want to pull me to do something unseemly. With mockery at the corner of his mouth, Chu Jiangli stretched out his hand to grab the crape myrtle branch, and as soon as he pulled it away, a burst of purple flower rain fell, and the petals stained the two of them all over their bodies.

A shallow helplessness appeared in Nan Jiyue's eyes, and the helplessness was wrapped in some soft warm colors, which were extremely light and light, making it difficult to see. Gently flicked his sleeves, shook off the petals on his clothes, raised his eyebrows, and said to Chu Jiangli: "Li'er, why don't you go to the cave of the rockery with me to do something unsightly in your mouth?" ”

Chu Jiangli waved his hand, petals slowly fell from his sleeves, and Chu Jiangli turned around and walked back. "I don't want to provoke them, hypocrite, so let's go our separate ways."

Chu Jiangli walked away simply, and he didn't look back. Nan Jiyue looked at her departing back, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, "Li'er, you are really ruthless." I think when we first met, you were very nice to me. ”

After speaking, staring at her back and waiting quietly. Sure enough, Chu Jiang paused away from his slender body, turned around, his eyes were dyed with anger, and his voice was full of gnashing of teeth. "Are you embarrassed to mention the first meeting, do you think those people are not enough, and you want to taste the sword in my hand?"

Nan Jiyue's face smiled even deeper, and her eyes reflected the woman in front of her, "Li'er, I've tasted it many times." Unfortunately, they never killed me. ”

said pity and regret, but this hateful face was smiling with damn joy. Chu Jiangli glared at Nan Jiyue angrily, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "Hypocrisy!" "It's clearly very happy, and I'm still pretending here. He turned around and walked more quickly, and lost his sight in a few steps.

Chu Jiangli, who has been friends with Nan Jiyue for ten years, can see Nan Jiyue's emotions clearly, but he can't see the real reason for these emotions. Nan Jiyue's happiness was not as happy as she couldn't kill him, but more like the smile that succeeded when she was about to tease her. Nan Jiyue is accustomed to disguise and rarely reveals her true emotions, let alone jokes casually on a whim.

Nan Jiyue put away the smile on her face, walked slowly towards the belly of the rockery, and unhurriedly pulled out the jade flute on her waist. The crimson agate beads shimmered, streaking a red arc in the air, like traces of blood splattering.

Chu Jiang walked forward with his head covered, but he didn't go far. Hearing the subtle sound of weapons colliding in a trance, Chu Jiangli paused. It lasted no more than a cup of tea, and then there was the sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground one after another, and there was no sound in an instant. A moment later, a melodious flute sounded from Nanyue's famous "March Stream".

In March, the fall of the flowers is colorful, the spring breeze is warm and melting, the new branches are budding, the spring is built on the lakeside, the talented and beautiful women, the poems are right, and the flowers are appreciated. "March Flowing Sound" is made by Zhongting Gongzi You Chun Zhuhu, and it has reached the level that everyone in Nanyue will know it in less than a month.

I don't know when, as long as the two are together. Nan Jiyue will always blow a song "March Flowing Sound" after the action, this song with beautiful artistic conception and strong spring mood has become a wordless tacit understanding between the two. It's a signal, a signal of peace. Chu Jiangli never asked, there were very few people in the world who could defeat him, so why do this. Deep down in her, there was a strong feeling. This feeling told her not to ask, and after asking, things would be different, and she didn't know how to face this difference.

When Chu Jiang left and returned to the main hall of Yueyin Palace, the palace banquet was just about to start, and Nan Jiyue had already returned before her. Chu Jiang parted and looked around the hall. Liyangxi beside her looked at her with a smile, Liyangxing nodded at her slightly, Jiang Qiyue threw a wink at her, and Chu Jiangli responded one by one.

Jiang Hongyu's eyes were fixed on the small few in front of him, and the corner of his eyes did not leave Chu Jiangli's figure. Xiao Sui thought about it, and glanced at Chu Jiangli from time to time. Chu Xihua looked at Chu Jiangli, who was sitting next to Li Yangxi, and became more and more dissatisfied with her. Chu Xin'er's parents were proud, and they were a little nervous to pay attention to Chu Jiangli's every move, for fear that there would be something wrong with Chu Jiangli's actions and provoke the emperor to condemn him.

The rest of the people waited, either curious, disdainful, amazed, or considerate, but Chu Jiangli didn't see it. After the emperor announced the start of the banquet, he focused all his attention on the small table in front of him. Raised the chopsticks and tasted all the dishes, shook his head, frowned, pursed his lips, and stopped moving the chopsticks after eating some of them.

"Jiang Li, but you don't have a good appetite?" Seeing this, Li Yangxi couldn't help asking. She has an extraordinary appreciation for food and is quite researched, but as far as she knows, Chu Jiangli is not a picky eater. The imperial food in the palace tastes not bad, at least not so much that it is difficult to swallow.

Chu Jiangli shook his head and looked at the dishes in front of him thoughtfully. Raised his hand and poured a glass of wine, the mellow aroma of wine was tangy, mixed with a light floral aroma. "Princess, what kind of wine is this?"

"Drunk spring breeze, made with dozens of spring flowers, the liquor has an intoxicating fragrance, drinking it is like being in the spring flowers, bathing in the warm sun. This is the most popular wine in Yangxing nowadays, what's wrong, but what's wrong? Seeing the change in the expression on Chu Jiangli's face, Li Yangxi couldn't help asking.

"There's nothing wrong with that, princess, don't you drink?" Chu Jiangli raised his wine glass, sniffed the aroma of wine, and his eyelids drooped slightly.

Dishes, wine, what did Li Yangxi think of, his clear eyes looked around the hall, and he smiled at Chu Jiangli sideways: "Drunk spring breeze can get drunk spring breeze, and it is also fortunate to be able to drink with Jiang Li." ”

"Princess, you can't drink. If you drink alcohol, your body will be—" Su'er said anxiously.

Li Yangxi stopped Su'er's words, held the pot and poured wine, the jade hand was lightly raised, and the two of them raised the wine glass at the same time and put it in their mouths. Suddenly, a person stood up with a bang, causing everyone to look sideways, and the hall fell silent.
