It was a woman. Although she was in a mess, she was still dressed gorgeously. She was wearing a long lake green dress with a thousand layers of skirt, surrounded by green flowers. She was both delicate and unassuming. She looked a little messy, with long legs and a thin waist, and a tall figure. At first glance, she looked like a beautiful woman with an excellent figure.
It's just that this beauty's current situation doesn't seem to be very good, because she is lying on the horseback and seems to have passed out.
"Huh? It seems to be a lady who is sleeping." Although a certain person was tightly bound, he still found the crux of the problem at a glance. He immediately winked at the people next to him, "There is a woman here, leave me alone." Save face, hurry up, untie the rope."
Tie You glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, "No way."
At this moment, a gust of mountain wind blew, blowing the woman's long hair. Li Ce's eyes were sharp, he was taken aback when he saw it clearly, then opened his mouth wide, and shouted loudly: "Heroine! Qiao Qiao! Come and save me! I'm Li Ce!"
His voice was so sudden that everyone was startled, especially the horse, which had been wandering on the mountain for a long time without seeing anyone, and when it was called by him at this moment, it thought it was a wolf, and was suddenly frightened , raised his hoof all at once, and hissed loudly.
In an instant, the girl lying on the horse's back fell to the ground with a bang, turned over, and before she could lie still, the ruthless horse had already fled for her life!
"Ah!" Li Ce was startled, his complexion changed drastically, and he quickly shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you save people?" The carriage of Bian Tang's royal family left Yuping Mountain like lightning. From a forest on the mountain, several middle-aged men walked out. These men were all dressed as woodcutters. One of them said to the other in a deep voice: "Go back and tell King Luo that the prince is running away from marriage for the sixth time. It’s even more absurd in the middle, don’t be afraid, everything, just follow the original plan.”
"Yes!" The man agreed, and immediately blew his whistle. After a while, a pitch-black war horse galloped quickly, and the man dressed as a woodcutter got on the horse and left in the dust.
At this time, the trees on both sides of the mountain road are green and verdant. After a heavy rain, everything can be said to be renewed, with a fresh atmosphere.
And Chu Qiao, who wanted to go to Tangjing to look for Yan Xun, also walked into the commercial heart of the whole continent in this way after she fell into a coma. It was a hot summer, the blue lotus was in full bloom, and the cool breeze sent all the fragrance of green lotus into the pavilion near the water.
The two maidservants half-kneeled on the ground, each fanning. In the four-corner boxes of the pavilion, the freshly formed ice exudes a cooling air to cool off the heat. A crystal-clear bead curtain lay in front of the couch, and a plain-looking woman in a light yellow tulle palace dress lay softly on it, with loose blue hair, long eyelashes, frowning slightly, her complexion was a little pale, but it did not damage her beauty. delicate face. The brocade quilt as thin as gauze was covered on the woman's chest, embroidered with patterns of big roses, the embroidery thread was dark white, interspersed with silver thread, under the reflection of the setting sun, there was a soft light flowing water Generally across.
The woman frowned slightly, a pair of slender white hands moved slowly, her eyelashes flickered twice like butterfly wings, and finally quietly opened her autumn-like eyes. This woman is none other than Chu Qiao. For a moment, she felt in a trance, looking around in a daze, not knowing where she was.
"Ah! You're awake!" The servant girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was very happy to see her wake up. She got up and ran out, shouting to the people outside, "Wake up, wake up!"
"Ma'am, you lie down first, and wait for the imperial physician to take your pulse." After saying that, another maid was about to untie the rope on the bed, as if she wanted to let go of the thick curtain.
There was a black silk mat under her body, her hands were cold, but the clothes on her body were sweaty, a few strands of wet hair stuck to her temples, Chu Qiao frowned and looked at the servant girl, "Who is Madam?"
"You!" the little maid said suspiciously.
Chu Qiao looked gloomy, looked around carefully, and said in a deep voice: "What place is this? Who are you? Why am I here?"
The little maid seemed to be terrified, and after mumbling for a long time, she murmured: "This is the imperial palace, slave... The servant is Qiu Sui, and the madam was brought back by His Royal Highness."
"Imperial Palace?" Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have had a dream before, and the face in the dream was smiling like a beating.
Could it be... She pushed the little maid away, jumped off the couch, opened the jingling curtains and ran outside.
"Ma'am! Ma'am, you haven't put on your shoes yet!" The little maid was so anxious that she almost shed tears, and hurriedly followed behind.
The setting sun was fiery red and the clear water was long. Chu Qiao was running along the quaint corridor with her bare feet and her skirt lifted. In the distant green lake, lotus leaves cover the sky and the sun, and an exquisite but simple building is located in the middle of the water, completely built with unpainted square wood. There are also the lines of the tree itself on the log, and the round and round annual rings can be vaguely seen. The water pavilion is ventilated on all sides and has no fence. Walking through the water pavilion, the layers of blue gauze hanging on the water pavilion move with the wind, like butterflies flying.
In the middle of the water pavilion, a young man was leaning on a square wooden porch, sitting with his legs bent, with a delicate silver jug beside his palm, and no cup, only a few freshly peeled lotus seeds. It fell to the ground like pearls. In his hand was a green long flute. He didn't blow it, but just twirled it back and forth between his fingers, dexterously flying around like a dance. A slight layer of mist formed on the surface of the lake, covering the man's eyebrows and eyes, and he could only see the corners of his bright red clothes fluttering in the breeze, like butterflies about to fly.
"Madam! Madam..." About a dozen girls in palace attire followed behind Chu Qiao, holding shoes, Zhu Chai, capes, etc. Wu Nong spoke softly, with a voice like cotton.
When Chu Qiao approached, the man suddenly grinned and smiled softly. He smiled very beautifully, like a painted meticulous painting, with slightly raised eyebrows and silky eyes. He suddenly put down his flute, opened his arms, and said with a smile on his face: "Come on, Qiao Qiao, give me a warm hug after a long absence!"
With a bang, a fist slammed into the man's chest, and in an instant, screams like killing a pig sounded. Chu Qiao grabbed the man by the collar and said angrily, "Li Ce! What the hell are you doing?"
"Ah! Protect Your Highness!"
"There are assassins! Protect Your Highness!"
Disordered screams sounded immediately, and Li Ce coughed and waved at the people around him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't panic, everyone back down!"
When the people around dispersed suspiciously, Li Ce looked at the girl in front of him with a bitter face, and said pitifully, "I said, Qiao Qiao, can you stop expressing your feelings for me in this way every time?" Is it? It hurts."
"What's your plan? Why are you arresting me?"
Li Ce sighed helplessly, blinked his eyes, "Qiao Qiao, do you use this attitude to face your savior?"
Chu Qiao was not moved at all, and sternly shouted: "Quickly tell the truth!"
"I'm telling the truth," Li Ce sighed helplessly, "on the way I escaped from marriage, I met you who was poisoned and unconscious. If it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't have been caught by my father. Joe Joe, I sacrifice so much for you, but you treat me like this, I am very sad."
Chu Qiao stared at him suspiciously, with a loose expression, "Really?"
Li Ce immediately raised his hand to make an oath, "It's absolutely true!"
Chu Qiao frowned and thought about it, then slowly let go of her hand, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Li Ce said with a free and easy smile, "I'm used to beautiful women touching me." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ce suddenly jumped up like a monkey, and pushed Chu Qiao to the water pavilion a few times. Behind the pillar, he sat down again in the same posture as before, his face suddenly became gloomy, but he said, "Don't come out, it will be fine in a while."
The breeze was blowing, and the blue lake was wandering. Li Ce, with his wide robe and long sleeves, raised his long flute to his lips, and then opened his lips lightly.
Just when Chu Qiao thought he was going to play the flute, she only heard a few unpleasant hissing and exhaling sounds, and behind her, a melodious sound of the flute suddenly sounded, which made people feel refreshed.
Chu Qiao turned her head immediately, and saw an old man with white hair squatting on the ground, playing loudly in an extremely unsightly posture.
Just when Chu Qiao was at a loss, there was a burst of chirping and charming laughter. Chu Qiao looked up and saw a group of beautiful young girls passing by in the shade of willows in the distance. Qi looked over, pointed at Li Ce, his eyes were surprised, obviously he was impressed by his demeanor.
Li Ce was unmoved, and kept calmly playing the flute. His eyes were far away, and it was impossible to tell what he was looking at. The gauze curtain rose with the wind, making his figure even more illusory, like a banished fairy.
After about half a cup of tea, those girls walked away slowly. A man raised a red flag from a distance, waved it twice, Li Cecai let out a long breath, and said to the old man hiding behind the pillar: "All right, all right, don't blow it."
The old man squatted there for a long time, his legs were numb, he stood up tremblingly, and said profusely, "His Royal Highness..."
"Okay, Master Yu, you can go back. I guarantee that your son doesn't have to go to the southern border to guard the border. Just change...just change...yes, let's change to the son of your old enemy Master Lu, who said he can't play the flute, Can't play the piano, and it's so ugly to have a daughter."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for making this happen." The old man quickly thanked, and then retreated with the support of his servants.
Chu Qiao looked at Li Ce strangely, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"
"Did you see it?" Li Ce's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily, "In the group of women who passed by just now, there was a woman in a green dress, did you see it?"
Chu Qiao frowned and said, "I'm just looking at you playing tricks, so where do I pay attention to the woman in green clothes?"
"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity," Li Ce said shaking his head, "She is the daughter of Mr. He, the household servant who has just been transferred back to Beijing. Twice she didn't look me in the eye."
"Isn't it strange not to look at you?"
"That's natural!" Li Ce said naturally, "Okay, let's not talk about this, no matter what the reason is, it's not easy for you to come to Biantang once, I will do my best as a landlord today, go, I will take you out go play."
Chu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and asked stupidly, "Play?"
Li Ce stretched out his hand, grabbed Chu Qiao's shoulders, and smiled, "Qiao Qiao, don't be so old-fashioned. Apart from revenge, apart from Datong, apart from fighting and killing, there are many funs in life."
