Chapter 173: Private Meeting

At this time, in the lakeside water pavilion of the Imperial Garden, a straight figure was already waiting there.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, the man immediately turned around, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face the moment he saw Xia Yunxian.

"Miss Xia, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to remember me."

Xia Yunxian was slightly stunned, she stared at the person in front of her carefully, and only asked after a long time, "Excuse me, why is this son here?" Do we know each other? ”

As soon as the words fell, the other party's expression immediately changed, and the eyes that were originally full of smiles also floated a little angry.

"It's clear that you asked me to come, but now you want to pretend that you don't know?"

Su Qiming took a step forward, his demeanor became more and more frivolous, and his unscrupulous eyes looked Xia Yunxian up and down, "It is said that you are not having a good time in the Hou Mansion, but I didn't expect that this appearance is still not inferior to that year." ”

After he said that, he was about to reach out and caress Xia Yunxian's face.

"Childe, please respect yourself!"

Xia Yunxian suddenly coldly brushed his hand away, and Su Qiming sneered, "Are you trying to capture the old man?" Do you still think that you are still the eldest lady of the Xia family who was held by the stars back then? ”

These hostile words made Xia Yunxian suddenly remember something.

"Is that you?"

"If it's not me, who else will come to your invitation? After all, we also have an unforgettable old relationship in the past, and I should give you a chance anyway. ”

Xia Yunxian remembered that this Su Qiming was one of the many people who came to the door to marry when she was not out of the cabinet.

It's just that this person's heart is not right, and he tried to ask her out of the house several times, but Xia Yunxian refused.

Later, I heard that his father had committed a crime and was released, but he didn't expect that he would return to Beijing now and be eligible to participate in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

"Su Gongzi is afraid that it is not a misunderstanding, Yunxian heard that Concubine Chen is by the garden lake, so he came to see her." However, as soon as Xia Yunxian turned around, the palace maid who had just brought her over had long since disappeared.

"Huh? It's all come to this, what are you still pretending to be reserved? Although I have a wife, I don't mind that my concubine is a divorced woman, and now that my father is a scholar, I will have a bright future in the future, and I can still give you the glory and wealth you want. ”

Su Qiming was extremely confident, God knows that after he received Xia Yunxian's note, he was both ecstatic and disdainful in his heart.

The ecstasy is that the goddess who was high up and out of reach back then is now finally willing to look at him squarely, and has asked him to go to the lake privately, obviously wanting to renew her relationship with him.

And what is disdainful is that Xia Yunxian, a woman who is divorced, really wants her, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of talk.

But now that she is a member of the Imperial Hospital, she is worthy of him with this honor.

Xia Yunxian frowned, and couldn't help but interrupt his sweet dream.

"Concubine? It just so happened that I brought a silver needle with me, maybe I could help Su Gongzi cure hysteria. ”

"You say I'm sick?" Su Qiming immediately reacted to the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but remember that back then, he repeatedly asked her to ask her, but he was rejected by various excuses.

In the end, he was teased by his friends, saying that he was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat, and he lost face!

On the way here, he still thought that in the future, he would take Xia Yunxian to meet those things that were not long-sighted in the past, so that they would know that this time was different from the past, but now, Xia Yunxian wanted to say that he had misunderstood?

Oh, that's ridiculous.

"Let me know now if I'm sick or not!" Su Qiming's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he suddenly clasped Xia Yunxian's shoulders, and was about to kiss Fang Ze when he heard someone shouting not far away.

"Someone, call me!"

And the other side.

Cen Yurong was circling among the women of the Gaomen Sect when she saw the little palace maid who had taken Xia Yunxian to the lake trotting in a panic.

"Princess, it's not good, the slave maid just saw Miss Xia and Su Gongzi from Shangshu Mansion pulling and pulling by the garden lake, and I don't know if there was a dispute......

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the ladies and nobles of the sect changed, and many people were worried, "Is Miss Xia in any danger?" ”

The smile on Cen Yurong's face froze for a moment, she thought that when she heard this kind of news, the clan women and nobles who had always been afraid of the chaos in the world would immediately guess that Xia Yunxian and Su Qiming had an unseemly relationship, how did they know that they were actually worried about Xia Yunxian's safety?

When did that slut get such a good name?

However, what Cen Yurong didn't know was that Xia Yunxian broadcast good karma in the teaching hall, and the nobles who had been jealous of her and hostile to her had already been convinced, coupled with sympathy for what happened to her after marrying into the Hou Mansion, the nobles had already shared her hatred.

"The slave maid seems to have heard Su Gongzi say from afar, and she has an old ......relationship with Miss Xia," the little palace maid immediately added, and the surroundings quieted down.

"No nonsense! Is Miss Xia the kind of person who doesn't know what is important? However, this Su Gongzi is impulsive, so don't hurt Miss Xia. ”

Cen Yurong had already led everyone towards the lake, but as soon as she got closer, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her with her hands in her hands, he turned around, and happened to meet Cen Yurong's eyes, and her heart jumped immediately.

Xia Yunxian, who should have been smashed on the spot to break the secret affair of the tryst, stood aside unharmed, but Su Qiming was escorted by two guards, his nose and face were swollen.

"Lord Bai, what's going on?" Cen Yurong gritted her teeth secretly, he didn't go to the Queen Mother, what did he do in the garden?

Bai Yujing smiled, "The emperor ordered Lord Ben to be in charge of today's birthday banquet, and it happened that he found that someone was making trouble here, of course he wanted to take someone to prison quickly!" ”

A strong smell of gunpowder spread between the two, and Cen Yurong was angry, but her face had to remain silent.

"Lord Bai, there is no basis for what you say, I'm afraid it's not you who is making trouble, right?"

"Lord Ben is the kind of person who spreads rumors without evidence? This Su Qiming owed a lot of gambling debts, so he collected a large amount of money from Liu Chengyu, and deceived Miss Xia to come here to ruin her reputation, this is the evidence! ”

I saw Bai Yujing search out a note from Su Qiming's body, which stated the time and place of the appointment, and the name of Xia Yunxian was also the name.

"The ladies present also have a training hall, right? Come and recognize it, is this Miss Xia's handwriting? ”

Soon, the note was circulated, and a noble girl immediately shook her head, "This is not Miss Xia's handwriting." ”

Then Bai Yujing took out another poem, which was actually Liu Chengyu's previous work in the Pingnan Wangfu Poetry Competition.

In contrast, this handwriting is indeed by the same person!

"It's so despicable! How could this Liu Shizi be so affectionate and unkind, and want to destroy her after he separated from Miss Xia! ”

"What kind of appointment note is forged, and I don't know how to imitate the handwriting, it's stupid!" The ladies and nobles of the clan were furious, as if they regarded Liu Chengyu as a treacherous villain.

Cen Yurong's eyes sank, and she immediately glared at Bai Yujing unwillingly.

It's you, right?

And the man raised an eyebrow, what about me?
