Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 155: Encounter at the banquet Because Huangfuxuan came to invite him personally, even if Ling Ruoyao was reluctant, he still had to attend today's Second Princess' birthday banquet.

For this, Ling Ruoyao felt very displeased, but there was nothing she could do.Who calls someone a prince?

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she let Caizhi toss her head. On her fair face, there was always a dissatisfied expression, her mouth was pouting, her eyelids were drooping, and she looked listless.

While combing her hair carefully, Caizhi looked at her through the bronze mirror, and seeing her like this, she sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I'm just attending a banquet." ,It's fine."

Another long sigh, Ling Ruoyao pouted, and said angrily: "What do you know? I don't want to go."

It's just because, at this banquet, Huangfu Yi will definitely show up, and maybe he will meet him again at that time.

"Miss, you don't want to meet the fourth prince, do you?" Caizhi said cautiously, looking at her face quietly, "At worst, go to the second prince's mansion and just hide from the fourth prince."

As soon as she heard Huangfu Yi mentioned, Ling Ruoyao immediately felt very irritable, waved her hands, and said impatiently: "Okay, hurry up and comb my hair."

Seeing that she was upset, Caizhi didn't dare to make any more noise, she quickly lowered her head and continued combing her hair. After a while, she combed her a simple but elegant bun.Taking a crystal-clear hairpin, Caizhi put it in the bun for her, making it even more charming.

"Miss, how are you doing?" Caizhi said as if she was taking credit after combing her hair, and she didn't forget to come up to her with a bright smile on her face.

Without even looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Ling Ruoyao stood up directly and lazily said, "It's okay."

The tone was very cold, and her attitude seemed indifferent, Caizhi was immediately shocked by her reaction and lost confidence, she pouted her lips, looking aggrieved.

Only then did she notice her strangeness, Ling Ruoyao helplessly sighed, and said helplessly: "I don't know your craftsmanship? The reason why I don't even take a look at it is because I believe in your craftsmanship, do you understand? "

After hearing what she said, Caizhi smiled again, sweeping away the haze just now, and smiled brightly and joyfully.Nodding her head heavily, she hurriedly said, "I understand! Thank you for your compliment, Miss!"

Shaking her head helplessly again, she sighed softly, turned around and walked straight out of the house.

A servant came to report just now, saying that Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun were already in the front yard, waiting for her to leave.

For this reason, she was displeased again, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, what are these two people doing so actively?

Accompanied by Cai Zhi, she deliberately came to the front yard slowly, in order to be able to go to the Second Prince's Mansion later.

Just arrived at the front yard, before approaching the hall, Ling Ruoyao heard an unhappy complaint coming from the hall: "What is this Ruoyao doing? Why don't you come?"

He frowned slightly, his fair face showed a little dissatisfaction, and his expression was a little cold.She stepped into the hall, and her clear gaze swept to Ling Ruoyun at the side.

Provoking her rosy lips, she chuckled and said, "My sister seems to be very eager to go to the Second Prince's Mansion."

Ling Ruoyun is not a fool either, of course she could hear the irony in her words, her pretty face suddenly turned pale, she gave her a dissatisfied look, and said angrily: "The Second Prince invited us to go, we can't Lost manners."

"Really?" Frowning, Ling Ruoyao replied nonchalantly, without much expression change on her face.After glancing at Ling Ruoyun, she turned her gaze to Ling Qinglian who was silent on the other side, and saw that he always had a calm expression.

"Since my sister has said it, we can't break the etiquette, then let's go." Looking at Ling Ruoyun again, she raised her lips and said with a light smile, turned around and walked out of the hall first.

Looking at Ling Ruoyao who was gradually walking out of the hall, Ling Ruoyun only felt a wave of anger spreading in her chest, and she looked at her unconsciously with a bit of resentment, gnashing her teeth with hatred.

She just complained a few words about her, complaining that she came late, but she secretly satirized her.

She is really angry!

Walking to Ling Ruoyun's side, Ling Qinglian sized her up slightly, cleared her throat and said, "Okay, Ruoyun, let's go."

After hearing Ling Qinglian's words, Ling Ruoyun suppressed the anger in her heart a little bit, but still looked at Ling Ruoyao fiercely, as if she wanted to poke a few big holes in her body.

After leaving the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Ling Ruoyao saw the carriage waiting at the gate at a glance, and got into the carriage first without thinking too much.Sitting in the car waiting for the arrival of the two behind.

It wasn't until the three of them got into the carriage that the carriage staggered out. The wheels rolled over the ground paved with stone slabs, causing some bumps and shakes.

On the carriage, Ling Ruoyao was leaning on the carriage, her gaze casually glanced at Ling Ruoyun who was sitting across from her, and seeing that she was always glaring at her, she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, a disapproving smile appeared on her lips .

Lifting the curtain of the carriage slightly, she cast her gaze out of the window, ignoring Ling Ruoyun, regardless of whether she looked at her with gentleness or viciousness, anyway, she didn't dare to do anything to herself.

You know, there is another person in this carriage.

Looking at the endless pedestrians on the street, Ling Ruoyao didn't think about what it would be like to go to the Second Prince's Mansion for a while.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she put down the curtain, turned her head to look at Ling Qinglian, frowned and asked, "Brother, what are Mr. Gu doing these days?"

It can't be blamed that she suddenly asked about Gu Shaoyuan. In fact, it was because she saw a person who looked exactly like Gu Shaoyuan on the street through the car window just now, but because she saw a back, it was not real, so she wanted to ask Ling Qinglian.

And after she asked this question, she immediately noticed that Ling Ruoyun, who had been staring at her, wishing to kill her Ling Chi, also shifted her gaze to Ling Qinglian, her beautiful face still had a look of hope.

There was an imperceptible smile on her lips, Ling Ruoyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and snickered in her heart.

It seems that this Ling Ruoyun really has a crush on Gu Shaoyuan.

Obviously, Ling Qinglian didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this question, so she was surprised for a moment.After being dazed for a while, he came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "Shao Yuan has already left the capital, but he might come to the capital again soon."

Keeping secretly looking at Ling Ruoyun's reaction, Ling Ruoyao pretended to be very curious, and asked again: "What is the identity of this Mr. Gu? Brother, you haven't said it yet."

"This..." Ling Qinglian suddenly hesitated, dodging her gaze, obviously not wanting to answer this question, "It was really Shao Yuan who told me that he cannot reveal his identity easily."

"Even we can't know?" She said, she turned her gaze to Ling Ruoyun, "Sister, what do you think? Tell us, it doesn't matter at all."

Ling Ruoyun obviously didn't expect that she would ask her suddenly, with a dazed expression on her pretty face, she nodded subconsciously, and replied, "Yes."

Even though she said that, Ling Qinglian still had a very embarrassed expression, Ying Ting's brows were also furrowed in an instant, and her expression looked very serious.

Seeing that he still refused to answer, Ling Ruoyao also felt a little bored, so she curled her lips, waved her hands and said, "Since I can't tell, then I won't ask, brother, don't feel embarrassed."

"Sorry." Even so, Ling Qinglian seemed a little apologetic.

All the way to the Second Prince's Mansion, Ling Ruoyao, who was getting closer and closer to the Second Prince's Mansion, finally had a calm mood, frowned again, and kept thinking in her heart, don't meet Huangfu Yi's perverted broken sleeve Man, don't!

But sometimes, God just likes to tease people, and he likes to do the opposite.

The carriage came to the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion. After the horse driver parked the carriage, he quickly jumped off the horse and greeted the three people in the carriage respectfully.

After getting off the carriage, Ling Ruoyao raised her head and glanced at the lacquered red door in front of her, her gaze rested on the three big gilded characters of "Second Prince's Mansion".

This is the first time she has come to the Second Prince's Mansion.

And just as she was staring at the plaque on the gate and meditating secretly, there was a grunting sound of wheels rolling over the ground, followed by a "whoosh".

Turning her head subconsciously, Ling Ruoyao found that the boy driving the horse looked familiar, and the carriage was also very familiar.

Just as she was secretly recalling where she had seen the carriage and the groom, the curtain of the carriage was raised by a slender big hand, and then a slender and tall figure appeared within her line of sight.

The pupils shrank suddenly, Ling Ruoyao wanted to swear, and her gaze became cold.

She said why she felt that the carriage and the groom looked familiar, it turned out to be from the Fourth Prince's Mansion!

Stepping down from the carriage, Huangfu Yi immediately felt her fierce eyes, his handsome brows were slightly frowned, he turned his head, and looked in her direction as well.

For a moment, the four eyes faced each other, and the two lines of sight met in the air, but it was a flash of lightning, secretly competing.

The rest of the people were all staring at the two people who were looking at each other strangely. They didn't understand why there was such a huge difference in their expressions.

I saw a fierce expression on Ling Ruoyao's face, and she looked at Huangfu Yi with a sharp and indifferent look.In contrast, Huangfu Yi's expression was much calmer.

On his handsome and resolute face, there was a faint and elegant smile, in the narrow and deep phoenix eyes, there was a look of playfulness, and there was also a slight smile on his beautiful thin lips.

The whole person seemed very lazy and idle.

Of course Ling Qinglian also saw him, a trace of surprise and haze flashed in her eyes, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and the big hands behind her back also tightened secretly.

Although he knew early on that when he came to the Second Prince's Mansion, it was impossible not to meet Huangfu Yi, but he did not expect that he would meet him just now when he arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion.

Putting on a very calm expression, he cupped his hands towards Huangfu Yi, and said politely: "I have seen the Fourth Prince."

Then he withdrew his gaze from looking at Ling Ruoyao, and turned his gaze to Ling Qinglian, Huangfuyi nodded lightly, without too much expression change on his face: "I didn't expect that this king just arrived and met Young Master Ling, what a coincidence. "

What a joke!

Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but swear in her heart, looking at Huangfuyi, she became more resentful and fierce, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Of course, noticing Ling Ruoyao's fierce and fierce gaze, Huangfu Yi turned his head to look at her, always with a lazy and calm expression, he didn't care how much she stared at him.

"After the farewell that day, it seems that I haven't seen the Second Miss for a while. I wonder how the Second Miss is doing?"

As long as she doesn't see him, she will be fine!

Taking a sideways look at him, Ling Ruoyao snorted through her nose, and said coldly, "I'm fine, don't bother Fourth Prince to worry about it."

Although there was always a casual and relaxed expression on his face, a gloomy and lost expression flashed through his deep and narrow phoenix eyes.

Her attitude is really cold.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Ling Ruoyao's face was very ugly, Ling Qinglian quickly smoothed things over and said, "Fourth Prince, let's go in first." Then she made a gesture of invitation.

Gently nodding his head, Huangfu Yi didn't say anything more, but gave Ling Ruoyao a complicated look, then walked towards the mansion with his slender legs.

And Ling Ruoyun, who had been watching the excitement all the time without making a sound, turned her gaze to Ling Ruoyao after Huangfu Yi left, with a gloating expression on her face, and she snorted disdainfully. .

Ling Ruoyao was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she gave Ling Ruoyun a glance without hesitation, but Ling Ruoyun acted as if she hadn't noticed her anger, and proudly raised her jaw, walking towards the palace. go.

The hands hanging by her sides tightened instantly, she gritted her teeth with hatred, wishing to rush up and beat Huangfu Yi and Ling Ruoyun violently.

"Ruoyao, let's go in quickly."

Ling Qinglian's timely voice interrupted her contemplation and brought her back from her thoughts.

Only then did she put away the anger in her heart, adjust her mood, and put on a calm expression, then followed Ling Qinglian and walked towards the palace.

Stepping into the Second Prince's Mansion, Ling Ruoyao was immediately shocked by the lively scene.The door is invited.

There are quite a few of them.

Even though the entire front yard was almost full of people, even the hall was full of people, but she still saw the group of five princes standing together in the crowd at a glance.

Couldn't help but sighed softly, she secretly slandered, could this be the unique aura of being a royal noble?That noble temperament is simply unmatched by others, even in the crowd, it stands out and stands out.

After confirming where the target person was, she quickly walked towards the place farthest from the five people, trying to choose a location in the corner.

"Ruoyao?" Seeing her lowering her head and walking towards the corner, Ling Qinglian seemed a little puzzled, grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Shhh." Hurrying towards him, she made a silencing motion, and turned her head to look at the group of princes and princes in the crowd. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she turned her gaze back and looked at Ling Qinglian. He said angrily, "Aren't I going to find a safer place to stay?"

Ling Qinglian had a full view of her actions just now, and he also understood why she chose a corner, because she didn't want to attract the attention of those five people.

It was so good, he didn't want to be noticed by those five people, so he said out loud, "I'll go with you."

Ling Ruoyao thought about it secretly, and felt that with Ling Qinglian by her side, maybe she would be safer, at least she would be more confident with someone next to her.

So, she nodded.

Ling Qinglian originally wanted to tell Ling Ruoyun a few words, so she chose a corner with Ling Ruoyao to stay there, but who knows, after entering the palace, Ling Ruoyun was not by their side, and had already walked into the crowd.

In this regard, both of them felt a little helpless.

So, the two turned and walked towards the corner.

But who would have thought that just after they took two steps, a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich appearance came in front of them, holding two wine glasses in his hands.

"It turned out to be Ling Shangshu." The man smiled flatteringly, and handed a wine glass in his hand to Ling Qinglian, "Ling Shangshu is late, and he will be fined!"

Ling Qinglian looked a bit embarrassed, and there was a look of displeasure in her eyes, but due to the situation, he didn't want to spoil the man's face, so he took the wine glass he handed over, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

Watching silently from the side, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help being speechless, this drink is really unambiguous.

"Lord Ling is so refreshing!" Seeing that he had finished his drink, the man smiled even deeper, with an expression of approval on his face, "I must have a drink with Master Ling today!"

As he spoke, he dragged Ling Qinglian and walked towards the nearest round table.

Of course Ling Qinglian didn't want to, she declined and turned her head to look at Ling Ruoyao, with a melancholy and helpless look on her handsome face.

Seeing him like this, Ling Ruoyao suddenly wanted to laugh.She hadn't seen Ling Qinglian in distress yet.

Although she doesn't know much about official affairs, she still knows that sometimes socializing is also very important.

Ling Qinglian has become an official, and she can no longer be as solitary and unrestrained as before. Sometimes some changes are necessary.

So, she waved her hand at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you can go to the bar, I'm fine."

"But..." Ling Qinglian was worried, she frowned and said, "You are waiting for me there, I will be back in a while."

When he said this, he had already been dragged to the table by the man. The man picked up a flagon on the table and filled the wine glass in his hand with wine.

"Lord Ling, please." After pouring himself a glass of wine, the man smiled and clinked glasses with him.

Frowning all the time, Ling Qinglian still had a helpless expression on his face, he sighed softly, raised his head again and drank it in one gulp.

What annoys him the most is this kind of scene.

With people who are not familiar with at all, say polite and flattering words, but also pretend to be very familiar and friendly.The kindness of others cannot be refused.

On the other hand, Ling Ruoyao was standing in the corridor, looking at Ling Qinglian with a smile on her face, and there was also a smile on her beautiful eyebrows.

Scanning the entire yard, it was a lively and peaceful scene, no matter if they were familiar or unfamiliar people, they were all talking to each other, but no one noticed her who was alone.

After standing in the corridor for a while, she walked leisurely along the corridor, looking at the surrounding scenery while walking.

Turning a corner, her eyes inadvertently touched the dazzling figure in the crowd, only to find that Huangfu Yi was also looking at her, with a calm expression on his sharp-edged face, she couldn't figure out his thought.

Pretending not to see him, Ling Ruoyao continued to walk forward, and the next moment, that pretty figure was blocked.

"What is fourth brother looking at?" Seeing him looking away, Huangfu Yu asked puzzledly, and followed his gaze, but did not see anything unusual.

Withdrawing his gaze, Huangfu Yi shook his head, said with a light smile: "It's nothing. I want to go out for a walk, you can drink first."

"Where is fourth brother going?" Huangfu Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and said hastily, "I'll go with you."

"No, I just feel a little noisy, I just want to be quiet. Don't worry about it."

"Is it really not necessary?" Huangfu Yu still refused to give up, looking at him with a bit of worry.

It can't blame him for being too nervous.Ever since the emperor told the story of Huangfu Yi and Ling Ruoyao's reconciliation in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he began to worry.

Although Huangfu Yi didn't show any abnormality, he was still the fourth brother in his usual life, but he was worried, for fear that he would be hit because of this incident.

Therefore, at this time, he asked to be with him.

He also knew his worry in his heart, and Huangfu Yi was very grateful for his concern, but he still refused aloud: "It's really not necessary, Lao Liu, you don't need to be so nervous, I'm fine."

Seeing that he was persistent, Huangfu Yu didn't force it any more, but just told him a few words.

After agreeing to them one by one, Huangfu Yi turned around and walked out of the venue.

What he didn't notice was that there was also a tall and slender figure in a place not far from him, passing through the crowd and walking towards the corridor, his eyes rested on that pretty figure.

Ling Ruoyao walked aimlessly along the winding corridor, and before she knew it, she was getting farther and farther away from the banquet venue.When she discovered this situation, she no longer knew where she had gone.

Stopping in her tracks, she took a look around, only to find that there were green trees and winding corridors all around her, and she could only identify the location from the propagation of the sound.

Sighing helplessly, she turned around and planned to return along the way she came.Presumably this method is the best.

However, just when she turned around and was about to return to the banquet venue, she saw a tall and slender figure walking towards her.

The dazzling light sprinkled on that stalwart figure, as if coating him with a layer of holy light.

Ling Ruoyao blinked, but she felt that something made her unable to open her eyes.
