Chapter 12: Dance of the Allure (Revision)

A few days later, a rare guest came to the Three Emperors' Well, a person that Youhuang could not have expected. When he came back from outside that day, he saw that the door of the study was open, and he was pleasantly surprised, swept away the haze of the past few days, walked into the study quickly, looked around but did not see the person who made him think about it, so he called out suspiciously: "Yan Yan?"

I saw a person slowly walking out from behind the bookshelf, and smiled softly: "Your Royal Highness the prince is not harmed, I really disappointed you, I am not a girl from Xiyan." ”

Youhuang was slightly surprised, "Zi Yao, why are you?"

"I can't come as long as Miss Xiyan comes, and my father tells me to come to my future husband to walk around often, and I can only obey my fate. Zi Yao said extremely casually.

Youhuang frowned, "We didn't have any engagement contracts. ”

"Hehe......" Zi Yao covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm joking with Your Highness, but I came today to bring you good news, I wonder if Your Highness wants to hear it?"

"What's the news?"

"Miss Xiyan has returned to Qingqiu. I just came back today, and I heard a lot of interesting things about her and Cang Yan in the human world, especially a painting about what the two of them called...... 'match made in heaven', the painting is really quite meaningful, and people who don't know the relationship between the two will really misunderstand. Zi Yao smiled lightly, tilting her head to pay attention to Youhuang's expression, although the two did not interact often after becoming adults, but they had some friendship before, and she could understand what Youhuang was thinking in her heart.

However, Youhuang unexpectedly didn't show any emotion, just poured a cup of tea for her, "The human world is so fun, even you ran away?"

Zi Yao sat down, her expression was slightly melancholy, "What's so fun or not, it's just that I've been staying alone in Luluo Mountain, and I can't help but feel lonely." She pointed to a booklet in her hand, "Can you lend me this sheet music?"

Youhuang glanced at it casually, and said indifferently: "You can just take it, anyway, I don't know the rhythm." I don't know who dropped this score here, and it's been many years, and no one has come to pick it up, so I guess I don't want it. ”

Youhuang drank a cup of tea and looked out the window, and the two were speechless for a long time. Zi Yao sat for a while and left. Youhuang hesitated, but still followed her heels and went out in the direction of Qingqiu. This is the third time he has come, he is already familiar with the way, and this time he has met the girl from last time.

Mei'er saw him coming again, and couldn't help but be a little nervous after knowing his identity, "...... That...... That one...... Your Royal Highness, you are here, Xiyan just came back today, and I just wanted to tell her about the two days before......"

"Where is she now?"

"She and the king are in the apricot blossom forest of Qingyunju, why don't I lead the way for His Royal Highness the prince?"

"No need, I'll just go by myself, thank you. Youhuang thanked him, didn't stay for a moment, and went straight to the apricot grove to the east.

The flowers in the apricot grove are densely blooming, each one is carefully planted, and even the ground is covered with petals, giving you the feeling of being in a paradise. In the distance, there was a woman's laughter like a yellow warbler, and the voice was so gentle that people couldn't help but want to go forward and find out. A stunningly beautiful man with the grace of all things leaned under a tree, silver threads sprinkled all over the ground, and there was indescribable tenderness hidden in his lonely and cold expression. On his lap was a woman's head.

The woman was lying comfortably on the man's human pillow, holding a painting in her hand, studying it carefully, and said in her mouth: "The more I look at this painting, the more I like it, Cang Yan, do you say I am hanging at the head of the bed or the head of the bed?"

The man's face was full of black lines, "You have decided to hang the head of the bed and come to ask me, you are not allowed to take it out." Thinking of what he looked like in the human world, he suddenly felt that his usual majesty was gone.

"I think it's good to hang it out, Cang Yan looks very good, if it's like the painting, everyone won't be so afraid of you." ”

"Am I that terrible?"

"It's because Cang Yan is usually cold, so he can't marry the queen. ”

"What does this matter to me marrying the queen?"

You see that even Mei'er is so afraid of you, how dare others talk to you. I don't know what kind of person you like Cang Yan, don't we have a lot of good girls in Qingqiu, haven't you taken a fancy to anyone for so many years?"

"......" Cang Yan was silent for a moment, "Who do you want me to marry that night?"

"Of course I hope Cang Yan marries Mei'er. "Mei'er is Xiyan's only good friend in Qingqiu, if Mei'er can marry Cang Yan, then they will be close to each other.

Cang Yan smiled.

Xiyan sat up, "I'm worried about Cang Yan, what if you become an old man like Grandpa Qing and can't marry the queen?"

Cang Yan didn't care, "...... There's nothing wrong with that. He didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore, so he moved on to a bunch of strange small objects that Xi Yan had brought back, his eyes sharpened, and he picked up a delicate flute, "You can't blow, why did you buy this?"

"Don't you think this flute is very beautiful, I bought it to see it, and I didn't use it to play. Hey, by the way, didn't you know Cang Yan before? Why haven't you ever blown it?"

"You want to hear it?"

Xiyan nodded heavily, "Mm-hmm." If you play the flute, I can dance for you, and I've recently learned a new dance!

Cang Yan smiled in his eyes, "Xi'er's dance, of course, you have to watch it." ”

In the depths of the apricot grove, a clear flute sounded, and Youhuang followed the source of the sound, and through the branches, he saw the most beautiful picture in the world. The apricot blossoms in the sky are fluttering in the air, and the beautiful plain-clothed woman is spinning and dancing on the branches, dancing in the wind, the cuffs fluttering, fluttering like a light cloud, and sometimes flying to another branch like a light swallow, soft and elegant, and the style is fully displayed. Youhuang stopped behind the branches, and looked stupid, she seemed to be the only one in the world, beautiful and dazzling, and there was probably no one in the world who could compare to her dancing in the city.

However, she is the only one in his eyes, but he is not the only one. Youhuang brushed aside the branches of the tree, took a step forward, and saw Cang Yan playing the flute under the tree, and his eyes that were equally fascinated. There was no such attachment and obsession hidden in those eyes that were originally only frozen and indifferent, just like looking at the person he loved the most, such an affectionate and fiery gaze made Youhuang shake suddenly. He looked at the dancing woman again, and Xiyan danced very hard, as if he was completely immersed in harmony with Cang Yan's flute. He had never seen her so feminine, and he had never known that she could dance, and such a heart-warming dance was not for him. An inexplicable fire of jealousy rose in his heart for no reason, he knew that such jealousy should not be there, but thinking of the conversation between the children in Qingqiu about the two and what Zi Yao said today, as well as the strange emotion in Cang Yan's eyes at this moment, his palms couldn't help but clench.

"The Fox King and Yan Yan are really in good spirits! I didn't know that Yan Yan could dance for so long. It wasn't until the sound of the gloom sounded that the two of them realized that someone had arrived in the apricot grove.

Xiyan was surprised and delighted, "Youhuang, why are you here?"

Youhuang walked over with a smile and stopped under the branch where Xiyan was standing, "I've been back for a few days, and I haven't seen you until I know that you went to the human world." Miss you, so come and see if you're back. ”

For Youhuang, who almost never talks to her, it is the first time to think about her frankly like this, and Xiyan is happy when she hears it, and there is a hint of girlish shyness.

"Yan Yan, come down. Yuhuang called softly.

Xiyan hurriedly jumped off the branch and stood still in front of Youhuang. Youhuang's smile has not faded, but his eyes are a little dark, "I came twice, and you weren't there, why didn't you go to the human world to play and not tell me?"

"I was playful for a while, and I forgot about it...... Who told you to say that you would come back soon, but no one was seen for two months......"

"There was some trouble this time, so it was delayed for some time, but there is not a day that I don't want to see your ......"

Xiyan only felt that Youhuang was a little weird today, and her speech was unexpectedly direct, but in front of Cang Yan, she was a little embarrassed when she heard it, and she couldn't help but glance at Cang Yan.

Youhuang suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xiyan's forehead, Xiyan didn't expect him to kiss her at this time, and took a step back to avoid it in fright. Youhuang was firmly clasped around her waist, not minding that there was another person behind her. Xiyan stared at him incredulously, and when she saw the expressionless Cang Yan, she quietly turned her head to the side, holding the flute just now in her drooping hand, she was a little stunned.

Youhuang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, his hand tightly clasped her waist, and his cold eyebrows frowned slightly. Xiyan, who was still absent-minded, came up with an inexplicable anger, pushed him away with force, and ran out of the apricot forest without looking back. She didn't know why she was angry, she should be happy to see him, but the moment she saw Cang Yan turn her head, she seemed to have done something bad.

Xiyan walked aimlessly in Qingyunju, Mei'er saw her coming back, and asked strangely: "Huh, Xiyan, His Royal Highness Youhuang has gone to look for you, haven't you met?"

Xiyan waved his hand, "Don't mention it, I'm angry! I hung him in the apricot grove." ”

"Why did His Highness Youhuang upset our Xiyan? People came all the way to find you, so you just ignored him?"

Xiyan was speechless, Youhuang didn't seem to have done anything heinous, didn't he just kiss her in front of Cang Yan, and he shouldn't have said anything about leaving him there. So she immediately turned around and ran back to the apricot forest, but saw Youhuang holding the things she bought from the human world in her hand, walking in the direction of Qingyunju. She put her hands on her knees, panting slightly, and stared blankly at the people who came out of the woods.

Youhuang walked up to her without saying a word, looking at her cheeks that were slightly sweaty because of running, the irritability in her heart suddenly disappeared by half, and she smiled slightly, "Since you still know that you are back, why did you run just now?"

"I, I'm exercising. ”

"Poof...... What a strange reason for this. Don't you want your things?"

Xi Yan snatched it up, "Of course! I picked it for a long time to buy it, but if you like it, I can give you some." ”

"What do I want these things for? As long as you don't get angry and leave me alone. ”

Xiyan's face was slightly embarrassed, "Aren't I coming back?" ”

"Yan Yan. Youhuang pulled Xiyan in front of him, "Don't leave without saying a word in the future, at least stay where I can find it." ”

Xi Yan grimaced at him and said brightly, "I know!"
