Handsome face, gentle expression. The man looked at her with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "We meet again!"
Manyao left the man's embrace and said: "You helped me again. Thank you!" Although she has lightness skills, she is not familiar with this palace. Without this person's help, she is not sure if she can escape this disaster.
The man smiled innocently and said, "How do you know they will come back?"
Manyao sneered slightly, and said: "With the suspicion of the prince, if it is not confirmed, it will not be so easy to believe that he has heard it wrong."
The man smiled and asked, "You seem to know the prince well?"
Manyao said indifferently: "Some people can tell what kind of person the other party belongs to with just one glance."
As she spoke, she left the tree trunk and leaped lightly. The white clothes flew into the air, her figure was graceful and elegant, like a fairy, and when she was about to land, she turned around and her clothes spun arcs in the air, which was extremely soft and beautiful. She looked up at the man on the tree, smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and at that moment, the sky that was gradually darkening seemed to be lit up by that smile in an instant! The man was stunned for a moment, and then jumped down, his movements were elegant and elegant, and he said with interest: "Then you see... which one do I belong to?"
Man Yao looked into the man's eyes, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked gentle and polite, but she felt that this was not all about him. But I couldn't see through the expression behind that gentleness. So, she only said eight words, "Humble and courteous, as gentle as jade." This is the impression this man gave her, although it may not be correct.
The man nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with the evaluation. The two walked for a while, and soon arrived near the Yiqing Hall. The man stopped suddenly, as if he remembered something, looked at her with a serious expression, and said, "Can you promise me something?"
"Tell me about it." Before she was sure about the specific event, she didn't make promises easily.
The man approached him and said in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone, you saw me more than ten days ago."
"Okay." Although he felt a little strange, he agreed without hesitation. He thought to himself: This person seems to be very familiar with the imperial palace, who is he? Appearing in the palace at this time, could it be that he is a son of a nobleman who should enter the palace, one of the men on the list in her hand? Whether it is or not, I believe it will be announced soon.
The man's thin lips were lightly raised, and his smile was extremely elegant, and Man Yao also smiled back.
Outside the palace wall of Yiqing Palace, this is the scene in the eyes of the people who suddenly appeared. Two handsome and extraordinary men are very close to each other, looking into each other's eyes and smiling, like old friends who have known each other for many years , laughing defenselessly. The sky has completely darkened, and the palace lanterns are hung high above the corridor of the main hall, and the candles are brightly lit. The evening wind in May blows past, with a hint of cold breath, straight into the bottom of my heart.
Man Yao unconsciously shuddered, turned his head and saw not far ahead, Zongzheng Wuyou had his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, his thin lips slightly pursed, and he looked sideways at the two of them with cold eyes. Her smile froze slightly, and she stepped forward and said, "Have you arrived? How is His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Zongzheng Wuyou didn't respond immediately, but lowered his eyes, then raised them after a while, looking at her again without showing any emotion, he said indifferently: "The injury is not a problem, he has been sent back to the residence." Stop talking to Leng Yan behind him: "Order, the person has been found."
Leng Yan took the lead, and gave Man Yao a complicated look before leaving. Manyao was taken aback, did he send someone to look for her? That's right, she was delayed for more than half an hour. Seeing his indifferent expression, she suddenly had the urge to explain, smiled apologetically, and said: "I accidentally lost my way, fortunately I met this young man..." It was a vulgar reason, but It's the truth.
Zongzheng Wuyou raised his brows, and looked straight into her eyes, that eyes seemed to want to see her thoroughly, which made her who was originally calm feel guilty. Zongzheng Wuyou lowered his eyes slowly, and his eyes fell on her left hand. Man Yao was startled, and suddenly remembered that his jade card was still in her hand, so, to him, the reason for her getting lost seemed absurd. Forget it, when did she need to explain to others what she was doing? Smiling and shaking his head, with a slight self-mockery on the corner of his lips, he handed back the jade token in his hand to him.
Zongzheng Wuyou didn't take it, but with an indifferent expression, glanced at the man behind Man Yao, and said slowly: "When did you become so familiar with the famous General Fu?"
General Fu? Man Yao was startled, and looked back at the gentle and elegant man behind him, only to see him stepping forward two steps, and said with a modest and polite smile: "King Li is too famous, and this general is due to the blessing of the prince, so he is famous today. If it is famous all over the world , this will be far inferior to the prince."
Who else could call himself "the general" in front of Zongzheng Wuyou, except for the Great General of the State of Wei who holds the rank of the three armies in his hand and ranks higher than the princes? ! Fu Tiao, he turned out to be Fu Tiao! Manyao was stunned, she couldn't connect this gentle man with the fierce and brave General Fu! Rumors are really unbelievable! ! She smiled awkwardly, cupped her hands slightly and said: "So it's the general, Liyue was rude!" No wonder he asked her to keep the meeting more than ten days ago a secret, a general returned to the court in advance but did not report to the emperor, this is deceitful Big sin!
Fu Tuo held her hand and said, "Why are you so rude and polite again?" He smiled gently and kindly, making people feel like a spring breeze. He said again: "You are Mr. Liyue from Yuanyue Tea Garden? I heard that your tea garden design is beautiful and incomparable. I really want to see it."
Man Yao's hands froze, she lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, but did not speak. Fu Zhao saw that there was worry in her smile, and said: "Liyue, don't worry, if there is a chance, I will intercede with His Majesty for you."
Manyao didn't think much about it, and just said sincerely: "Thank you!"
Zongzheng Wuyou looked at the touching hands of the two of them, his eyes became colder, and he said in a deep tone: "General Fu really has great powers! Although he is in the frontier battlefield, he can even deal with trivial matters such as the closure of a tea garden in the capital." I know everything well." This sentence seems simple, but if you go deeper, it will arouse people's suspicion.
"Li Wang's words are wrong! Although the closure of the tea garden is not considered a major national event, the assassination of the prince is no small matter. Now everyone is talking about this matter in the streets and alleys. How can I not know why I will enter the city!" Of course.
Zongzheng Wuyou curled his lips into a sneer, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh? The general won the victory and returned to the court. If he doesn't enter the palace to see him, he still has time to listen to the rumors in the market? This is something new! The scenery is very good, did the general go to have a look?"
Fu Zhao's complexion changed, and he glanced at Manyao indistinctly, Man Yao was taken aback for a moment, Zongzheng Wuyou obviously pointed out something, she had never mentioned the Dongjiao inn to anyone, besides, she didn't know the name of the inn before. The man is Fu Tiao.
Fu Thou said: "I have heard this before. When I have time someday, I will definitely go and enjoy it. If King Li does not dislike it, I will invite King Li to go with me at that time. If Mr. Li Yue is willing to reward you, Let's swim together too, okay?" Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person, Fu Tiaorong's change of expression is only a momentary thing, and he will soon return to his original state, and he can still talk, laugh and invite as if nothing had happened.
Manyao stood between the two, although she was smiling, the corners of her mouth were already stiff. She glanced at Zongzheng Wuyou, but still nodded to Fu Chou and said, "Okay."
Zongzheng Wuyou squinted at her, there were countless complicated emotions in his eyes, but she couldn't see through any of them. Zongzheng Wuyou withdrew his gaze, looked at Fu Tiao coldly with his evil eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Whether to go to the eastern suburbs or not is a matter for the general and has nothing to do with this king. I don't like meddling, and I hate meddling You!" He turned around and walked towards the Yiqing Hall, walked a few steps, saw Manyao was still standing there, raised his phoenix eyes, and said impatiently: "What are you still doing there? Enter the palace with the king."
Manyao smiled helplessly at Fu Zhao, and then followed Zongzheng Wuyou. Glancing at Zongzheng Wuyou's perfectly cold and handsome profile out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly felt her heart soften. He is such a proud man, he made a big circle, but he just didn't want Fu Zhao to meddle in her affairs.
In the Yiqing Palace, the dinner party has not yet started, and the sound of singing and dancing can be heard from a distance. When they entered the hall, the people guarding the door shouted: "Greetings, King Li, Qiansui!" All the civil and military officials in the hall stood up and saluted, Zongzheng Wuyou acted as if he hadn't seen him, and went straight to his table and sat down. You're welcome, and sat down next to him. In order to attract attention, she kept her head down and kept silent.
"Do you really want the tea garden to open as soon as possible?" Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly asked in her ear.
Manyao looked up in surprise, and before she could speak, Zongzheng Wuyou had already held her hand under the table, holding it tightly, and said: "If that's the case, then... tomorrow, you can. But, you are not allowed to move out of the palace. , the matter of the tea garden is left to the servants to take care of. Huh?"
Man Yao seemed to see hope in his deep and evil pupils, a hope that no one could refuse. It turned out that he could have done it long ago! Did he not do it because he wanted to keep her in the palace
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Zongzheng Wuyou let go of her hand, turned his head and said, "If you don't want to... then forget it." His face was expressionless, but his tone seemed to have a hint of anger .
Normally, he is always indifferent or cold, and his gentleness occasionally makes people feel that he is not real enough. He can't touch the word "cute" at all, but Zongzheng Wuyou who is so angry makes her feel the distance between them , all of a sudden a lot closer. Man Yao pursed her lips and laughed, suddenly feeling happy. Zongzheng Wuyou frowned, but he heard her say: "I didn't say I didn't want to, it was you who said it."
Zongzheng Wuyou's eyes lit up, and then he lowered them, but he still maintained an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care if she wanted to stay in the palace. Manyao was still chuckling, when a voice came from the door: "I have seen Princess Rong Le!"
