37.
Hailian regretted it the moment she entered the door.
The number of times he entered and exited the White Bird Area was not many, but they were all like a free swan, fearless and indifferent. Now that the sparrows have mixed into the phoenix pile, it is a different feeling. Hai Lian tried to calm himself down, don't let his eyes blink too fast, and don't let himself act too much like a mud guy from the muddy area across the river, but his rough finger pads that have been callused all year round are smooth The young man's frail eyebrows still involuntarily twitched slightly when he was holding the silk satin cushion.
He knew that even if he tidied up his face, wiped off the blood stains on his body, and put on better clothes, he still didn't fit in with this place. Just now, every gentleman and lady who passed by his side always stared at him as if there was nothing, and then carefully walked away from him at a distance of half a foot, as if he was a patient carrying an epidemic disease, a man in a beautiful dress thief.
If Fang Tinglan comes, at least I...
He raised his head and looked around, wanting to see that face with a sly smile for the first time.
It's a pity that he didn't find anything, and all he could see was still brown hair and green eyes, complicated clothes and gorgeous gems flowing in the hall like a colorful river.
That's right, at that time that guy only said that he would come if he was free, maybe he was busy with things that he didn't understand at all, and he had long since forgotten about this invitation. Hai Lian thought to himself mockingly, with a lost arc that he didn't notice at the corner of his mouth.
He just came back from Mahatma City, a hundred miles away, this afternoon. He was dizzy all the way, which made him hate carriages even more. When he got home, he only drank some water and changed his clothes to go to the theater. Running, at this moment I finally sat down to take a breath, and I couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
He looked at the stage with his forehead propped up. The distance was too far, and he could only see two people in white dancing on the stage. The sporadic lyrics could not be heard clearly, but the sound of the piano was clear, but it was too soothing and melodious. Hailian yawned.
At least stick to the scene that O'Brien wrote, and leave after watching it. Hai Lian sighed, pinched her own thigh, and continued to watch the show.
Until now, the seat next to Hailian's is still empty.

"After King Amber came to the throne, Abal said that his niece was in poor health and needed to rest, so he moved her to the Chuizhi Court in the east. He said it was a rest, but it was actually similar to house arrest. Until these two years, because Long Rong was getting older She is long and always honest, so she will occasionally go out to watch a play, or go to Chenming Palace to attend a class, but it is still rare in front of people. It took me a lot of effort this time to find out that she will come today Watching a play," Qin Weiyu paused, and then said, "Jinglan, I want to meet Her Royal Highness during halftime."
Fang Tinglan knew what Qin Weiyu was thinking almost without thinking. He actually didn't agree with the other party in his heart. He felt that this kind of foreign marriage drama was vulgar and old-fashioned. It was done by ancient people hundreds of years ago, but seeing Qin Weiyu He looked eager to try, and he couldn't bear to hit him, let alone just seeing him, it was considered as a test of the truth. Thinking of this, Fang Tinglan nodded: "Shall I go with you?"
"Of course you have to go with me." Qin Weiyu's mouth curved softly and harmlessly, "I'm so timid, if I go alone, I'm afraid my feet will be weak before I reach the door of the box opposite."
Having already heard about Qin Weiyu's glorious deeds from Zhou Buyi, Fang Tinglan just laughed it off.

"A Yu? Why are you in a daze again?"
The girl whose name was called came back to her senses. She didn't look very old, and because of her lack of stature, she looked thinner and thinner. She could hardly support the beautiful goose-yellow dress on her body. The girl blinked. He blinked his black eyes, and said softly, "I'm still reminiscing about the book I read during the day..."
Her companions burst out laughing: "You really are a little nerd." The older blonde girl waved at her, "No one is good at books, why don't you come and have a look at the leading role this time, I'll listen outside Some people say that he is a handsome man who makes a sensation in the whole city!"
Ah Yu didn't stand up either, he just leaned forward and glanced twice, curled his lips in disappointment: "It's okay, I still think my brother is the prettiest."
"You always say you have an older brother, why haven't we met?"
"Brother, do you mean the son of Viscount Jonoel? I remember that he looks quite bookish and good-looking...but it doesn't count."
"Why don't you bring it for us to see?"
"The shirt that you asked Sister Gelu to make the collar last time, isn't it for your brother?"
The girls chattered and asked curiously, but the girl clenched the corner of her skirt: "My brother seems to...don't want me anymore."
"How?" The girls were surprised. They all knew that the Dongzhou girl who finally came to Chuizhi Court was the adopted daughter picked up by the Yonoel couple on the side of the road, and they were wary of and underestimated her at first, but after three years of getting along day and night, the girl's well-behaved and sensible way Vigilance and contempt have long since worn away in the long days. Seeing that the little girl's eyes were turning red, everyone quickly comforted her, "Ah Yu is so good, why would anyone want you?"
"You bring your brother here, there are so many of us, let's teach him for you!"
"Okay, okay," a voice sounded from behind the crowd, and the princess Long Rong who had never said a word said softly, "It's rare for us to come out to play, so don't make Ah Yu cry. If you want to see beautiful men, stay Then you'll see two."
"Huh?" Everyone turned around.
Long Rongliang brightened the name card he had just received from the waiter in the box: "Qin Weiyu, the king of Nanhong, told his friend that he would come to see me later."
"Qin Weiyu?"
"He," someone was disappointed, "I don't like it. I saw this alien prince at my family's banquet before. He was pretty, but he had a submissive face. Even a pretty face would be wasted on expressions. I I still like young officers like Flo, who is handsome and masculine, but unfortunately he has been sent to the border in the past few years, otherwise I guess the girls who want to be his lover will line up all over the street."
"She's from Dongzhou just like Ah Yu." The blond girl whispered in Ah Yu's ear.
"Well... There are quite a lot of Dongzhou people in Jiumeng City." A Yu was not interested in the two people who were about to come, nor in the handsome actor on the stage, so he said casually.
The blond girl didn't want to see her so boring and pensive, so she wanted to find something interesting for her to see. The girl glanced leisurely around the auditorium, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, why are there people sleeping in the theater?" , still sleeping so deeply, can't the warm applause just wake him up?"
"...Actually, I also want to sleep in the theater." Ah Yu muttered.
"Hey... wait, why does this person's underwear look familiar?" The girl pushed Ah Yu's arm, "Look at it, doesn't it look familiar?"
"What underwear looks familiar..." Ah Yu turned his head helplessly.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the girl almost jumped up from the seat, "This is—"
Everyone was startled: "What's wrong with you?"
The girl You couldn't believe her eyes, she hurriedly took a step forward, supported the railing and checked several times, then turned around abruptly and bowed to Long Rong: "Your Highness, can I hang back today without everyone else?" Zhi Ting?"
Long Rong was surprised at first, then nodded with a smile: "Chuizhiting is not a prison cell, and I am not your cell leader, you can go out if you want, just remember to come back safely."
"Thank you!" A Yu smiled brightly at Her Royal Highness, and trotted out of the box holding her skirt. She lowered her head and walked in a hurry, almost bumping into the two distinguished guests who were coming to see her. The girl didn't even raise her head, and said a word of apology before bypassing them and continuing to run down, causing the two of them to look at her more .
"The eyebrows and eyes of this little girl..." Fang Tinglan was thoughtful, and when he wanted to look back, he was pulled into the box by Qin Weiyu.
