Chapter 8 Mountains and Flowing Water

"Miss Shen," Shen Langxi heard Nie Xiuhe's voice when she returned to her boudoir alone, but she was not surprised, but nodded at the familiar figure.

"The prince said that tomorrow there will be important people to rest in the pavilion, and I hope the young lady will pay attention to it. ”

"Okay," Shen Langxi paused, and suddenly stopped Nie Xiuhe, who was about to leave: "Nie Xiuhe, are you willing to do something for me?"

An Zhongning checked the file and didn't sleep all night, and didn't lie down on the table to rest until midnight. It's just that this night, something happened again.

While Meng Xiu was preparing for this year's scientific expedition, he also needed to help An Zhongning investigate the case, and he was exhausted. When I woke up, I found that there was an extra handkerchief in my purse.

The handkerchief is covered with lotus flowers, which is delicate and unique.

Meng Xiu felt strange and smelled, and then remembered that it was Shen Langxi's handkerchief yesterday, but how did he get here? Meng Xiu was ashamed in his heart, but he was embarrassed to go and return it, so he asked the servant to ask Shen Langxi to go to Meifang Pavilion to enjoy the plum blossoms.

"Yunzhai has the habit of appreciating plum blossoms, but every time he comes alone. It is an honour to have Miss Shen here today. ”

"Master Meng's talent and handsomeness are famous in Kyoto," Shen Langxi smiled: "How can there be fewer people to accompany you?"

"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons," Meng Xiu took out the veil: "Is the girl dissatisfied with her fate?"

"It's just a play, and I don't dare to have great ambitions. ”

"I heard that inviting a girl to the house, whether she sings or not, except for the royal family, you must abide by a rule?"

"It's not a big rule," Shen Langxi smiled: "Invite with poetry." ”

"Oh?" Meng Xiu looked at the lonely and cold girl, and only thought it was interesting: "Yunzhai is having a poem, Miss Shen is willing to go to the mansion?"

"Miss Su, why are you here?" Brocade looked at Su Zili, who came to Linlang Pavilion, and stepped forward to invite.

"I'll come to see my sister," Su Zili smiled: "There is something going on this morning, and I want to ask my sister about it." ”

"Why don't you come in first and wait?" Brocade looked at the bad weather, and hurriedly said: "My young lady has been invited to go for some time, if Miss Su is not in a hurry, why don't you wait in the pavilion?"

"It's okay," Su Zili followed the brocade into the house, and then remembered and asked, "I haven't heard that there is a royal banquet recently, why did my sister go?"

"It's Lord Meng Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites," Brocade brought the refreshments: "Miss has always had a rule - in addition to the royal family, she must invite with poetry." Today, Miss Meng Dawei inscribed a poem and invited Miss Meng to go. ”

"Lord Meng Xiu?" Su Zili was a little surprised: "Although this Lord Meng is known as a talented man, he ......"

"Miss Su doesn't know," the brocade replied in a regular manner: "Literati have always come to see low-level dramas, and this gentleman can't write good poems." After reading Master Meng's poems, the young lady only felt that the idea was novel and the battle was ingenious, so she agreed. ”

"Yes," Su Zili nodded: "Sister Shen has always loved poetry and read through history books...... So if you find a soulmate, why not?"

While the two were talking, they saw Meng Xiu send Shen Langxi back to Linlang Pavilion. Meng Xiu was originally ashamed to deal with the drama, but after a while of talking, he was impressed by Shen Langxi's talent.

Shen Langxi gave the handkerchief to Meng Xiu, and Meng Xiu returned the jade pendant as a gift.

"Miss Shen," Meng Xiu opened his mouth when he was leaving: "Yun Zhai is surprised by the girl's talent, if the girl does not dislike it, Yun Zhai is willing to redeem the girl and recognize her as a righteous sister." ”

"Lord Meng," Shen Langxi just smiled: "Langxi is not insulted by the play, if the adults don't dislike it, you can call Langxi." Linlang Pavilion is good, and it is comfortable to live in. ”

"Then ......" Meng Xiu smiled: "Sister Langxi, just call me Brother Meng in the future." ”

"Good. The brocade took Shen Langxi back to the pavilion, and Meng Xiu saw Shen Langxi away, but he was infinitely sad in his heart.

If they had met a few years ago, he would probably have had a confidant relationship with her, but now...... He fell in love with the most noble woman in all of Kyoto except for the empress.

"My sister is here," Shen Langxi was a little surprised: "I came back so late, so my sister waited." ”

"Where is my sister, Zili has just arrived. ”

"Why did my sister come here without making a sound?"

"Sister......" Su Zili wanted to speak and stopped: "I ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Today, King Anping sent someone to come and gave me a jade pendant...... Su Zili was a little embarrassed: "This jade pendant is a jade from Jiangbei City, which is worth a lot of money, and Zili is terrified." I know that my sister grew up in the palace, can you help me return it?"

"This jade ...... Can you show me?"

"Okay," Su Zili took out a jade pendant from the brocade box.

"This is?" Shen Langxi was taken aback: "Isn't this the longevity of the concubine?"

"What?"

"Sister," Shen Langxi hurriedly said, "Who sent it?"

"An eye-born son, said to be a friend of King Anping......"

"The prince sent someone to reward you," Shen Langxi paused: "However, the jade pendant in front of you was not prepared for you by the prince." The prince admires your sister, and the special gift should be the new night pearl of the palace......"

"That ......" Su Zili was a little panicked: "This jade pendant ......"

"He's not trying to harm you," Shen Langxi suddenly reacted: "He's going to blame you." ”

"What!" An Zhongning listened to the guards who came to report, and was shocked: "Another merchant died in the inn?"
