Chapter 40: Unfathomable

Yun Yanzheng pondered as he turned the note into powder.

Gu Xi's insight is really rare in the world, and she only made a slight move, and he understood the motive behind it. And he was able to take advantage of these motives, and with a little means he could turn everything in the direction he wanted. And when he uses these methods, he is really unaware, and he can stretch the line of grass rope and snake ash for thousands of miles in places where others are unaware; He can also grasp the best time to offer a kindness that people mistakenly think is him.

Just like her soft and hard request to apprentice, although he postponed it again and again, in the end not only let her get her wish, but also made her feel that her plan was appropriate and complacent. Just like his idleness, he carved Tao Xun at random in front of her to make people defenseless, but quietly let the official kiln and the emperor know, and then gave this Tao Xun to her when she needed the trust and protection of others the most, so that she always thought that he was guaranteeing her innocence in front of the emperor.

However, his bond with her grew deeper and deeper, and it was as she wished that he had dragged him into the precarious and exhausting quagmire of the Ul Kingdom; Or will she be so dragged by him that she will be far away from this dangerous, cute and hateful baggage?

This unexpected speculation made her suddenly frightened.

What is his purpose, what is his position?

Are things really going the way she thought?

Yun Yanzheng retracted his thoughts, stood up, and straightened his clothes. Push the window and look out to see the sunset, and a few bright red clouds lingering around the remnant sun will reflect the flowers in the courtyard brilliantly; It is as bright as cooking oil in a blazing fire. A towering phoenix tree in the vicinity stretched out a gloom in the light of the sky, and the broken leaves flew in the shadow, reflecting the gentle light that leaked down and became a little white, like a flowing wind and snow, and suddenly it seemed to change the weather in the garden to the earth, and it suddenly had a cold and lonely meaning.

Yun Yanzheng looked at it for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly pushed the door out, bypassing the phoenix wood and heading straight to the West Garden.

She is here alone to guess the degree, guess the degree, why not go and see for herself what this person is doing now?

The sound of crisp footsteps sounded softly in the silent West Garden, and Yun Yan looked around to check it. I always feel that this West Garden is a little different from the impression when I came over in previous years. In the past, I felt that although the design of this West Garden was exquisite, it was a little too cumbersome and redundant, but when I looked at it today, I felt that it was refreshing and interesting.

What's the difference, exactly?

With memory, it seems that some flowers and trees have been transplanted to other places, and some rocks and strange trees have been reorganized, that is, even the direction of flowing water has been changed more and more tortuous and tactful, and more and more in this beautiful scenery of the whole West Garden, like a ribbon looming. The best thing is that the whims of the people raised the terrain of the source of the water, and a slope was covered with all kinds of fine and crude ceramic vessels. There are red clay, white clay, loess, black clay fired mixed together, it looks simple and elegant but has a special interest, the water flows on all kinds of porcelain can make different sounds, and these dingdong sounds converge together and become a beautiful sound that people never get tired of listening.

After Yun Yanzheng took a deep breath, he raised his eyebrows, the imperial brother doesn't have such an elegant leisure now, even if he had, he was afraid that he would not be able to set such a wonderful scenery.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and the white-clothed figure leaning on the pear blossom tree and singing in the wind jumped in front of him.

Could it be that he, in the past few days, has even changed the weather of the temporary residence?

What was his idea to fight?

This is a royal garden, and the royal brother let him arrange it?

She is accustomed to thinking about him with a guessing heart, and this person really has the ability to make her frightened every step of the way.

Suddenly, there was a melodious and silent Tao Xun song like a hermit's song, and the low and soft voice of Qingling came faintly from this secluded realm, like a dream. It actually made her mind a little trance, looking at the verdant vegetation beside her, the winding paths, and the falling flowers like rain, she really had the illusion and unreality of being in an empty mountain and wandering in a secluded world.

Yun Yanzheng listened intently for a while, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he followed the sound. The path twists and turns, and from time to time there are flowers and trees on the road, so I have to change the route, turn a big bend, and there is even a clump of tulip growing horizontally. The mountains are full of wilderness, overwhelming. She frowned, is this a garden, or a labyrinth? After thinking about it carefully, it seems to be a bit of a secret arrangement of the gossip array, but the setting is not to confuse and besiege others, but just to add a little fun to the garden.

This person really just needs to move his mind, and people will be confused.

Since Yun Yanzheng was clear in his heart, he no longer detoured, but only raised his hand to pull away a clump of twigs from it, and sure enough, there was a gap between the mountains and rocks for people to pass by. At this moment, the tulip has not yet fully opened, but it is blooming a little bit of white, and it is dotted with green leaves, secretly revealing the aroma. She passed through it and brought up a few fallen flowers, which fell on her shoulders and her clothes were as white as snow, and after the petals fell to the earth, she was left with a faint fragrance.

Before he had finished the road, he suddenly saw the man sitting peacefully in the Moon Moon Flowing Water Pavilion in front of him.

A touch of golden light from the setting sun hit his body, and at first glance he felt particularly dazzling. When I looked at it again, it seemed to be gradually smoothed and gentle by his immaculate white clothes, like a cold moonlight.

Yun Yanzheng approached the water pavilion with the sound of broken footsteps, and was stunned by him from a distance. It turned out that his white clothes were not as bright as they could be seen from a distance, and there were traces of cigarette ash on the sleeves, but the strange thing was that it did not make people feel embarrassed, but because it appeared on his body, it was like two ink-dyed plum blossoms blooming gracefully from the edge of the cuffs, looking cold with its own interest.

"Brother Gu's plum blossom shirt is really amazing!" She smiled and joked, and stepped lightly into the water pavilion.

In the water pavilion, although he sat alone, there were two pairs of bowls and a table of food on the water-soaked and ink-stained marble table in front of him. She glanced at it, five dishes and one soup, very extravagant, and everything was exquisite, faintly with the aroma of wine, it was a dish that she had never seen before, but everything was very suitable for her appetite. Yun Yanzheng couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips, and secretly moved his index finger.

But the man in front of him looked at her with a smile and sat with great grace.

"The eldest princess Chrysostom said, Gu was flattered." Gu Xi dusted off the light gray on his sleeves, elegant and calm, he didn't even get up and salute, where did he get surprised?

Yun Yanzheng sighed lightly, this person's pair of clear and quiet eyes looked at her like this, and his heart couldn't help pounding, I don't know what kind of thoughts he was thinking? No matter, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, she has to break through, she sat down with her clothes brushed, pointed to one of the bowls, and said with a smile: "From the palace?" ”

"Eldest princess, what do you think?" Gu Yi nodded, and handed her a bowl of clear soup.

Yun Yanzheng was a little flattered, and then took a sip, his eyes turned around his side, and he murmured, "The villa changed the chef today?" It's a little scary, and it's a little different. ”

"Shocked?" Gu Xi asked rhetorically, curling his lips with a serious face.

"Shocked!" Yun Yanzheng repeated again, expressing affirmation.

"What is horror?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, took a bowl of himself and took a small sip elegantly.

"Shocking!" Yun Yanzheng looked back at him with a smile, and drank the soup as soon as he raised his hand. She put down the empty bowl and said, "This chef is very good, and he can make a bowl of ordinary broth taste different, I really want to see it." ”

"The eldest princess has already seen it." Gu Yi smiled and put down the soup bowl in his hand.

"Hongu just doesn't understand why?" Yun Yanzheng packed up the silver chopstick, sandwiched a piece of beef that was as thin as a cicada's wings and put it in her mouth, which melted in her mouth, and she was shocked again.

"Someone came from Kyoto today, presumably to provoke the eldest princess." Gu Xi said softly while serving her rice again. A subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips, "What's more, the eldest princess gave me a box of 'Xiangrong Zhai' pastries, and Gu is just a courtesy." ”

Listening to his voice as light as snow, Yun Yanzheng raised his eyes from one dish after another of mouth-watering dishes, and turned his head to stare into his eyes, his clear black eyes motionless.

"What does the eldest princess want to see?" Gu Xiqingjun's face was in front of him, and he asked quietly with a smile.

"Hongu just wants to see something." She pursed her lips, and the spoon in her hand tapped the case again and again. This man is calculating, and no one has the same mind as he has; But when it comes to cooking, it's not something that the chefs in the palace can match. How much can he do with it? How deep is that troubled water in my heart? She had been looking at it for so long, but she hadn't been able to see his deep water clearly.

The spring breeze is gentle, and the flowers are finely broken.

After a steaming in the twilight, the fragrance in the garden became more and more intense, and it spread like a mist, and the tip of the nose smelled the freshness and fragrance of the grass and trees.

Even so, he could clearly smell the faint aroma of her body, a floral fragrance with a slightly sweet taste. Gu Xi raised his eyes to meet her slightly judgmental gaze, the smile on his face became more and more unfathomable, his warm eyes were like water, and he asked softly, "Do you see something?" ”

Yun Yanzheng still couldn't figure it out, was he really just giving her a meal in return? Is it really just that she just guessed that the person who brought the "Xiangrongzhai" pastry from Kyoto and those things made her unhappy, and then cooked a meal all to make her happy? She shook her head, blinked her slightly sour eyes, took another deep breath, and said frankly, "I didn't see anything." ”
