Lou Qingwu and Xia Houqing went to a Qinyiju not far from the Third Prince's Mansion. They came to a wing room on the second floor and sat by the window. Outside was the largest Donghuai River in Kyoto. Several painting boats stayed, moving with the wind, very poetic and picturesque.
I have to admit that even though Xia Houqing has been away from the capital for several years, every move in the capital is still under his control.
Just judging from the Qinyiju he chose, you can see his scheming, it is a place that pleases the little girl very much, even if people are in a bad mood, seeing this picturesque scenery, they will not be in a good mood Where will it go. What's more, the man in front of him is also good-looking, plus he can talk, and his few words can't fascinate those little girls who have lived in the boudoir for a long time.
"Qing Wu, come and taste the pastries of this family, see if it suits your appetite?"
Xia Houqing picked up a pair of clean wooden chopsticks and put them on the plate in front of Lou Qingwu. The pastry was made of three colors, and it was fragrant, with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, but it didn't look like it after smelling it closely.
Lou Qingwu took a sip, the pastry was extremely delicious, and the fragrance lingered between her teeth, it was top grade.
She nodded, put down the wooden chopsticks, and smiled calmly at Xia Houqing, "As expected, it is the three-color cake from Qinyiju, which perfectly blends the lightness of lotus seeds, the delicateness of red dates, and the fragrance of wintersweet. It’s endlessly memorable.”
"Haha, as long as Qingwu likes it, it's not in vain for me to try all these places one by one."
When Xia Houqing said these words, he looked deeply at Lou Qingwu, his dark eyes gleaming, reflecting her figure, giving people a bewitching and focused feeling.
Lou Qingwu looked straight back, with soft brows and eyes, and lowered her eyes after hearing what he said.
Looking at it from Xia Houqing's point of view, there was a bit of a woman's shyness, "How could the third prince eat everything once? Don't make fun of Qingwu."
The deep meaning in Xia Houqing's eyes became stronger, and his voice was so gentle that he could almost twist his fingers, "Qingwu, how could I make fun of you? I can guarantee that every word I say is sincere, and only Qingwu Only a beautiful woman like you is worthy of the pride of plum blossoms, let people take a look... "
—Qing Wu, you are the best woman in the world, and only you can help me like this sincerely.
Xia Houqing's words spread into Lou Qingwu's ears like a nightmare, and she lowered her cold expression as if she would turn into a demon in the next moment, biting the neck of the man opposite her fiercely, and sucking his blood, but Xia Houqing still refused. She was talking affectionately, but it was a pity that the woman on the opposite side kept her head down, unable to see her expression clearly, but her hand on the table seemed to be nervous, and she kept holding it with a slight trembling. A flash of pride flashed in Xia Houqing's eyes, and he deliberately lowered his voice to make his voice sound more pleasant...
Lou Qingwu's chest heaved violently, she still overestimated her ability to bear Xia Houqing, as soon as she heard his voice, she wished to smear all the three-color cake that she had only eaten in front of her on his face.
But she knows she can't...
Just when Lou Qingwu couldn't help but want to shut him up, a piano sound suddenly came from beside her ear.
The clear and lingling voice was like a clear spring driving away the filth in her heart. She calmed down slowly, and then raised her head, her face blushing. She quickly raised her head to look at Xia Houqing, then turned away quickly. , "How can I be so good, the third prince is just making a joke about Qing Wu." After finishing speaking, as if he had just heard the sound of the piano, he quickly turned his head and looked out of the window, "Hey, it seems that there is a sound of the piano, it sounds very nice Yes, why don't we go and see."
If she stayed with Xia Houqing again, she was afraid that she would really do it.
Seeing her nervous appearance, Xia Houqing knew that he had achieved his goal today, so he shouldn't act too hastily. He glanced out the window and saw the parked painting boats, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Okay , let's go and see."
When Lou Qingwu and Xia Houqing arrived at the Donghuai River, a painting boat passed by. Xia Houqing rented one, and boarded the painting boat with Lou Qingwu.
The boat moved slowly, Lou Qingwu tilted her head and looked out the window, getting closer.
The sound of the piano seemed to be clearer, and Qingling's voice was inexplicably familiar. Following the sound of the piano, she looked at a painting boat not far from them and said, "Let's go there."
Where Lou Qingwu couldn't see, Xia Houqing's smile deepened, "Okay. Boatman, take the boat over there."
Pointing to the painting boat from the sound of the zither, Xia Houqing directed it.
Lou Qingwu seems to have been immersed in the sound of the piano, her brows and eyes are quietly drooping, and her pretty side face gives people a sense of beauty of time and tranquility.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on her face, bringing a bit of illusion.
Xia Houqing looked over inadvertently, and suddenly remembered the "Shen Li" he heard at the Furong Festival. His eyes fell on the Yaoqin not far away, he took it, put it on the table in front of him, and pressed his slender fingers on it , Gently swipe, and immediately, the original song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" rang beside Lou Qingwu.
When Lou Qingwu heard it, her body froze suddenly.
Turning his head, he stared blankly at Xia Houqing who had a focused and serious expression on the opposite side. He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe that made his face look like a crown of jade. It was a bit childish again, it was Xia Houqing like this, at that time, the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" captured her already heart-beating heart, and since then, she will never change until she dies. It's a pity that his love is worthless, if you want to lose it, you can lose it, and if you want to give it, you can give it.
Lou Qingwu looked at him quietly, with a dazed expression and no expression, but it was exactly like this, as if captured by the sound of the piano.
The smile on the corner of Xia Houqing's mouth deepened, he raised his head, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, and looked at each other deeply, as if the woman in front of him was really the one he was begging for.
Unfortunately…
The woman in front of him has long since lost his mind.
And at a place that Lou Qingwu didn't know, the two boats got closer and closer, and finally they almost walked side by side. The man in the opposite boat, who was lazily holding on to the wine glass, heard the "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" and glanced at it inadvertently. When he saw the man and woman staring affectionately at the opposite side, Mo Tong shrank suddenly, a dark light flashed inside, and his body was filled with disturbing irritability.
And not far from the man, the strings in the hand of a beautiful woman in red reached the last tune, and she stopped her hand perfectly.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
It's just that she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her fingers touched the strings, cut her fingertips, blood dripped from her fingertips, she looked very pitiful, she opened a pair of extremely delicate eyebrows and eyes, flickering at Looking at the handsome man opposite: "Brother Ye, I'm hurt..."
