Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 169: Where should I go? Seeing that Huangfu Yan and Mo Yingyu saw him, Huangfu Yi didn't cover up, but walked straight towards the two of them.

Putting away the surprised expression on his face, Huangfu Yan raised the corner of his mouth towards Huangfu Yi who was walking towards him, and said aloud: "The fourth child also entered the palace?"

Walking in front of him, Huangfu Yi put his hands behind his back, and with clear eyes, he walked around the two of them with a sizing expression.When looking at Mo Yingyu, he saw that she was obviously avoiding his sight, and seemed a little at a loss.

A disapproving smile appeared on his lips, and he cupped his hands towards the two of them: "I wanted to enter the palace to pay my respects to my father, but I didn't expect to meet my eldest brother and my concubine here."

When talking about the identities of the two, he deliberately emphasized the tone, and the words "Yubi Niangniang" were extraordinarily clear.

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed a little depressed and awkward, Huangfuyan glanced at Mo Yingyu beside him from the corner of his eye, saw that she lowered her head, seemed a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I didn't either. Thinking that in this imperial garden, I happened to meet Empress Yubi by chance, and just said a few words, I met the fourth child again."

Was it really just a coincidence?Huangfu Yi frowned, and didn't pursue it any further, since it didn't have much to do with him anyway.

In the deep and narrow phoenix eyes, with a probing gaze, he pursed his thin lips, staring at the two people in front of him without saying a word, his gaze was extraordinarily sharp, which made Huangfuyan feel a little timid.

Dodging his sharp gaze calmly, Huangfu Yan said with a sneer: "The fourth brother just went to see the father, right? How busy is the father?"

His complexion suddenly became gloomy and cold, Huangfu Yi pressed his lips tightly, a trace of cold air floated on his handsome and resolute face, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Father is busy dealing with the previous war.".

When he thought of what happened when he went to see the emperor just now, he felt very angry and unwilling.This is good, he can't leave the capital, so he can only watch Ling Ruoyao get farther and farther away from the capital.

And he followed Ling Ruoyao's words and did not send anyone to follow her.This is great, he really doesn't know where to look for her.

Seeing his face change, Huangfu Yan also frowned, and asked a little suspiciously: "What is fourth brother thinking?"

When he entered the palace just now, he also heard about the second miss of the Ling family running away from home, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, he just thought, guess who spread the rumors.This Second Miss Ling has been staying in the prime minister's mansion, why did she run away from home suddenly?

At this time, seeing Huangfu Yi's expression became strange, he couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that Miss Ling really ran away from home?

That's not right, if the Second Miss Ling really ran away from home, why would the fourth child stand here and talk to him?Logically speaking, he should go and catch her back.

Although the two had reconciled, but as a bystander, he could see clearly that the fourth child couldn't let Er Miss Ling go.

Without thinking about it, he stared at Huangfu Yi, waiting for his answer.

Putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, Huangfu Yi raised his eyes to meet Huangfu Yan's questioning gaze, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a light smile: "I didn't think about anything, I was just worried about the frontier war."

After hearing his words, Huangfu Yan also sighed softly, with a solemn expression: "That's right, this Sky Kingdom is really unwilling to give up. It has been invading my borders for the past few years. It has only been calm for a few months, and there is a war again. .”

And Mo Yingyu, who was ignored by the two, raised her head slightly to look at the two in front of her, a pensive expression appeared on her beautiful face, and her pretty brows were slightly frowned.

She had also heard about the war in the previous dynasty, but after all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she didn't dare to say too much, so she could only listen to the two of them in silence.

"I'm afraid that this time, the Sky Kingdom came prepared." Huangfu Yi also said with a serious face, and said in a low voice, "After so many months of silence, the sudden invasion of my frontier must have already made a plan. .”

Huangfu Yan also nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, Father must be very upset because of this matter."

The two of them didn't speak any more, they fell into silence immediately, Huangfu Yi sighed lightly, his gaze suddenly swept across Mo Yingyu who had been silent all this time, only to see that she kept looking at Huangfu Yan who was beside him from time to time.

His eyes suddenly became deep, Huangfu Yi turned his gaze to Huangfu Yan, cleared his throat, and said suddenly: "Why did the eldest brother enter the palace? If you are going to greet the father, I think the elder brother should not disturb the father." Your Majesty, father is busy."

After hearing what he said, Huangfu Yan's face looked a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "I planned to go to the palace to pay my respects to Father, but since you also said that Father is busy, it's inconvenient for me to disturb Father. .”

"So, why not go out of the palace together?"

When he said this, Huangfuyi glanced at Mo Yingyu who was at the side again calmly, and what he saw was that she suddenly panicked and opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't speak, and her gaze But it always fell on Huangfuyan's body.

There was an imperceptible sneer on his lips, he looked away from her and waited for Huangfuyan's answer.

Huangfu Yan was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly in an instant, but he immediately recovered his calm and peaceful appearance, and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Nodding his head, Huangfu Yi cupped his hands towards Mo Yingyu and said, "If Madam Yubi has nothing else to do, my elder brother and I will leave first."

Having reached this point, Mo Yingyu didn't say much, she looked back at Huangfu Yi, nodded slightly, and said in a soft tone: "So, the two princes, please do what you want."

But her gaze still swept towards Huangfuyan next to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Noticing the way she was looking at him, Huangfu Yan also cupped his hands towards her: "Miss Yubi, please leave." After speaking, he gave her a deep look, and then left with Huangfu Yi.

Looking at the two who left, Mo Yingyu put away the soft and generous smile on her lips, and looked deeply at the two tall and slender figures.

After gazing for a while, she suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth, showing a treacherous smile, and secretly laughed in her heart.

Today's harvest is not small, even though Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, it is not in the way.

As for the two who left, they walked on the way out of the palace in silence, the atmosphere seemed a little silent and awkward.

Huangfu Yan turned his head and glanced at Huangfu Yi who was beside him, and saw that he had a gloomy face and an extraordinarily serious expression, with one hand behind his back, and he was walking straight forward.

Speeding up his pace to keep up with his speed, Huangfu Yan still couldn't bear his temper, and said aloud: "The fourth brother has something to say to me."

Otherwise, there is no need to tell him so deliberately, no need to pay respects to the emperor, and invite him out of the palace together.

Huangfu Yi didn't turn his head to look at him, but still walked forward steadily. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Brother and Yubi seem to be able to talk quite well?"

After being stunned for a moment, Huangfu Yan hurriedly said with a sneer: "It's just a few words that we just met by chance, and we can't even talk about it. How could the fourth child ask such a question?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious." Huangfu Yi turned his head to look at him, then looked away and continued to look forward, "Boss, don't forget, she is Yu Concubine, the woman of Emperor Father."

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, and even has some benefits to him, since he discovered this phenomenon today, he feels that he should remind Huangfuyan, as to whether he will listen to his advice , that is his own business.

Even though they all have the same ambition and are looking at the same position, after all Huangfuyan is also his elder brother, and even though this elder brother is not too close to him, he still takes good care of him.

And if he hadn't helped Ling Ruoyao at the banquet at the Second Prince's Mansion that time, I'm afraid the situation would have gotten out of hand.

This time, let's treat it as his repayment of the love he helped Ling Ruoyao last time.

Undoubtedly, after hearing Huangfu Yi's words, Huangfu Yan's complexion suddenly changed, becoming embarrassing and gloomy.

Pursing his lips, he was silent for a while, and then said with a sneer: "The fourth child is really good at joking, how could I forget her identity?"

"Brother knows, that's naturally the best." Turning his gaze to him again, Huangfu Yi raised his thin and graceful lips, and said in a clear tone.

Huangfuyan just twitched the corners of his mouth, laughed a few times, and didn't speak again, but his expression was still not very good-looking.

***

The lush trees blocked the glare of the light, and the bright sunlight shone through the swaying leaves, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground, and also sprinkled on the two delicate and pretty figures.

Raising her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, Ling Ruoyao used her sleeves as a fan to fan herself, a look of exhaustion appeared on her fair and pretty face.

Looking up at the sun covered by dense leaves above her head, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and muttered: "The sun is really poisonous, it's almost autumn, why is it still so hot?"

Hearing her muttering, Caizhi hurried up and said with a smile: "Miss, it's still hot in autumn, haven't you heard of the autumn tiger?"

She couldn't help rolling her eyes, she gave Caizhi a sideways look and said, "Of course Miss Ben has heard of it!" After speaking, she kept using her sleeves to blow the wind, her whole body was very stuffy.Jinyu also looks at it.

"Let's find a place to rest our feet." After walking for a while, Ling Ruoyao said aloud, stretching her neck and looking around

Zhou took a look.

Hearing her words, Caizhi also nodded quickly, a happy smile bloomed on her delicate face, and even her eyes became brighter.

They had already walked for a day, and even though they had a rest, they still felt tired. After all, the two of them had never traveled far, nor had they traveled such a long distance.

Caizhi quickened her pace and walked forward, stretching her neck to look around. Suddenly, she stopped and focused her eyes on a certain place not far ahead.

Turning around, she waved her hands to Ling Ruoyao who was behind and shouted: "Miss, there is a tea house in front, let's go there to rest."

Hearing that there is a place to stay ahead, Ling Ruoyao also smiled excitedly, nodded, quickened her pace, and hurried towards the teahouse.

After walking for a day, I can finally find a decent place to rest.

The two walked quickly to the teahouse, and before they got close to the teahouse, they saw a shop waiter, who smiled brightly, and greeted him warmly: "You two guests, please sit here." The person greeted him and sat down at the wooden table next to him.

"May I ask what the two guest officers would like to order?" the waiter asked with a smile on his face.

Although this is a teahouse, the store will also provide some food for the guests who come and go.

Putting the baggage on the table, Ling Ruoyao asked the waiter in the shop, and ordered two small dishes at random, plus a pot of tea.

After the shop waiter left, she took a look at the tea room. Although the shop is not big, there are quite a lot of customers.

Therefore, it is located on the avenue to Beijing, and there are many pedestrians coming and going, and the business is quite prosperous.If it's a little later in the evening, I'm afraid there will be no seats.

It has been a long time since she came to this strange country, and this is the first time she has left the capital to see what this country is like.Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt very excited, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.

After carefully looking at everyone in the shop, her eyes fell on the figure in the crescent white robe in the corner, and her delicate brows unconsciously frowned.

The figure of this person looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But when I think about it carefully, I have never left the capital, so how could I meet acquaintances outside the city?Everyone she knew was staying in the capital.

After thinking about it, she comforted herself that she must be too tired from walking, and she must be a little dazzled.

"Miss, where are we going next?"

Just when she was wondering, Caizhi asked suddenly, pushed her twice, pointed to the two forked roads in front of the teahouse, and asked suspiciously.

Quickly regaining consciousness, Ling Ruoyao quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Caizhi.

What she didn't know was that at the moment she looked away, the man in the crescent white robe suddenly had a faint and elegant smile on his lips, his expression was extraordinarily soft.

Gu Shaoyuan couldn't help chuckling, and thought to himself, he might be hallucinating, right?How could I hear that familiar voice in this place?

But this voice was so real, as if it was really near him.

Unable to restrain the curiosity in his heart, he put down the teacup in his hand, turned around, and looked in the direction from which the line of sight was projected just now. Shock.

It seems that he did not have hallucinations, but really saw this pretty woman.

But after the joy, he felt very puzzled, how could he see her in this place?Shouldn't she stay in the capital?How could Qinglian let her leave the capital?

Frowning his handsome brows, Gu Shaoyuan silently looked at the pretty woman, to see what she wanted to do?

And here, after hearing Caizhi's inquiry, Ling Ruoyao also looked in the direction she pointed.

When he saw the two forked roads, he couldn't help but frowned exquisitely, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his cheeks that were slightly flushed due to the sweltering heat.

Only then did she realize how reckless her decision to leave the capital suddenly was.Even if she wants to leave the capital and go out for a walk, she should have a detailed plan.

This is great, she doesn't even know which road to choose, let alone where the two roads lead to?

With her hands on her cheeks, she stared at the two roads, wondering if she should find something like a coin and use the front and back to make a decision?

But then she thought again, where there are coins in ancient times, at most there are only dice with six sides, she still can't make a choice.

"Miss?" Seeing that she was silent and frowning, Caizhi shook her hand in front of her and called softly, "Miss?"

Swinging away her paw dangling in front of her eyes, Ling Ruoyao gave her a sideways glance, and said angrily, "Didn't you see that I was thinking about something?"

Twitching the corners of her mouth, Caizhi sneered a few times, then quickly withdrew her hand, sat silently on the bench, and did not dare to speak again.

It was also at this time that the shop waiter brought up the dishes: "You two guests, please take your time."

After the waiter put the dishes on the table, he turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Ling Ruoyao.

"Xiao Er." Looking back at Xiao Er, she pointed to the two forked roads and asked, "Tell me, where do these two roads lead?"

Looking in the direction she pointed, the waiter hurriedly said with a smile: "This guest officer must be traveling far for the first time, right?"

Stared at by Ling Ruoyao, Xiaoer immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately apologized with a smile: "Your talkative, don't blame me, sir."

"Okay, okay." Waving his hand, Ling Ruoyao seemed a little impatient, "You should hurry up and say, where do these two roads lead to?"

"Okay." The waiter didn't dare to say any more, and replied aloud, "The road on the left leads to Lingzhou, and the road on the right leads to Xiangzhou." Seeing that Ling Ruoyao was still puzzled, Xiao Er Then he said, "This Lingzhou is the most beautiful city in the Cheyuan Kingdom, and the scenery is beautiful. And this Xiangzhou, because it is rich in rice, the rice is fragrant, so it is named Xiangzhou."

Nodding her head, Ling Ruoyao still had a pensive expression, and waved her hand to send the waiter away, and she rested her chin on the two roads again in a daze.

"Miss, are we going to Lingzhou or Xiangzhou?"

"Of course I'm going to Lingzhou!" Looking sideways at Caizhi again, Ling Ruoyao said without thinking, "Haven't you heard? This Lingzhou is the most beautiful city in Cheyuan Kingdom, so beautiful How can you not go and have a look?"

She twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly again, and Caizhi decided that she had better stop talking.

At the dining table beside, after listening to the words of the two, Gu Shaoyuan raised the corners of his lips, and there was a charming smile on his lips.

It turned out that he planned to go to Lingzhou.

Putting away the smile on his lips, he suddenly stretched out his hand to call the waiter, and whispered a few words in the waiter's ear, the waiter nodded, turned around and walked towards the two handsome figures.

While eating, Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt that there was an extra person beside her, so she looked up suspiciously and saw the waiter standing next to her, feeling a little displeased.

I thought to myself, she is just eating a meal, and she will not refuse to pay, so he doesn't have to keep staring at himself like this, right?

"What's the matter?" She raised her delicate eyebrows and asked angrily.

Who is the waiter in the shop?I have been a waiter in this teahouse for several years, what kind of person has I never met?What white eyes have not suffered?Her attitude is nothing at all.

They sat down very acquainted, and the waiter in the store seemed to meet an acquaintance, and began to chat about the daily routine, looked at the two of them, and said aloud: "Where are the two girls going? Are you going to visit relatives or travel?" ?”

Inevitably, vigilance arose in her heart, Ling Ruoyao glanced at the waiter, her face was serious, and she said in a low voice: "It seems that it has nothing to do with you, right? Why are you asking so many questions? Are you not working?"

The waiter hurriedly laughed twice, waved his hands and said, "Girl, don't be nervous, I'm just a waiter, how can I do anything to you, girl?"

Couldn't help rolling her eyes, Ling Ruoyao secretly slandered in her heart, although you are just a waiter, what if you are a black shop?Didn't I, girl, fall into the jaws of a tiger?

With a cold snort, Ling Ruoyao didn't speak any more, but picked up the teacup on the table.

But before the tea was drunk, she immediately paused again, looked down at the teacup in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and put it back on the table.

If this is really a black shop, they might have tampered with the tea, and if she drank it, it would be a trick.

And Caizhi, who didn't know what was going on in her mind, had already picked up the teacup, drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp, and even lifted the teapot to pour herself another cup.

Seeing that Caizhi was fine after drinking tea, she was relieved, and looked at the little girl again, her tone still indifferent: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

"The young one saw the girl asking the young one for directions, and thought that it must be the first time for the two girls to travel far away." His words immediately drew Ling Ruoyao's eyes, and the waiter in the shop quickly laughed again, "My little one I think we must remind the two girls."

When the waiter said the latter words, his expression was extremely serious, and his tone was very low, as if the matter was serious, which made Ling Ruoyao uncontrollably nervous.

"Miss, I don't know. Recently, a group of powerful gangsters appeared in the area around Nanhua Mountain. They only rob passers-by. There are their people ambushing on these two roads!" said the waiter. Very serious, as if the gangster was really nearby, "I advise the two girls to go back wherever they came from. These days are not peaceful, so it's better not to walk around."

The waiter in the shop said it seriously, his expression and eyes didn't look like he was joking at all, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help feeling a little worried, thinking, wouldn't she be so unlucky?Do you really need to look at the almanac when you go out?
