Chapter 102 Love at first sight

Ye Anran nodded: "Well, he came to drink tea with the emperor that day, and it happened that Qin Fengliu was drunk, so I played the piano for him, and it was exposed, but I did as His Royal Highness taught me before, and took As expected, he didn't blame me too deeply."

Hearing this, Xi Gongmo let out a long breath: "That's good, I thought the second brother... would blame you."

Ye Anran smiled wryly: "If he is really angry, it's not as simple as blaming him."

For Xi Gongjue, Ye Anran already knew a lot, once that man really got angry, it would be terribly terrifying.

"Well, it's good that nothing happened, let's go, we're going up, I'm afraid Jindu will be in a hurry." Xi Gongmo smiled faintly.

Ye Anran nodded lightly, took the tea, and then went upstairs, but met a regular customer at the door of the teahouse. The regular customer was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of domineering.

"The last general, Zhao Lengyun, has seen His Highness King Huai." While speaking, the man knelt on one knee with a humble expression.

"It turned out to be General Zhao, please hurry up." Since Zhao Lengyun often came to drink tea, he became acquainted with Ye Anran, so he stopped saluting, but it was the first time he met King Huai today.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Huai." After finishing speaking, Zhao Lengyun stood up.

"General Zhao, long time no see, what's the matter? Why do you have time to drink tea today?" Xi Gongmo usually gives people a very gentle feeling. Compared with the other princes, he is the most friendly one, so he left The next impression is also pretty good.

"Returning to His Royal Highness Huai Wang, the general has been coming to drink tea half a month ago. The tea here is very delicious. The tea of ​​Princess Rui'an's family is the world's number one tea family. It really deserves its reputation. However, today I have a chance to meet here. His Royal Highness King Huai is also the honor of the last general." Although Zhao Lengyun is a rough person, he is very good at speaking.

His father and grandfather were both high-ranking officials in the court. He was young and promising, and he became a general at a young age. As a family of military generals, the Zhao family was also highly regarded by the emperor.

"Yeah, General Zhao has become obsessed with canna recently, hehe, every time I come here, I have to order two pots to enjoy it." Ye Anran said with a smile on the side.

Zhao Lengyun nodded: "Canna is really delicious, with a sweet taste, not like tea, but more like fine wine."

Xi Gongmo always had a smile on her face: "General Zhao, since we have a chance encounter today, how about having some tea together?"

Zhao Lengyun was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Xi Gongmo to say that, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "The last general dare not, the prince is a noble person, how can he drink tea at the same table with us and other subordinates, this is against the rules."

"Hey, General Zhao is too worried. General Zhao was a hero when he was young, and he has always been loyal to our Xigong royal family. There is no distinction between master and servant. Even the emperor regards the general as a brother." Xi Gongmo's words are very flattering Zhao Lengyun.

But it's no wonder that King Huai's mouth has always been sweet, and even the Empress Dowager He has always doted on him, so naturally it is easy to praise a person to heaven.

But for King Huai to say good things, there needs to be a prerequisite, that is, this person must be worthy of him.

"This...?" Zhao Lengyun was actually speaking from his heart, but he was still a little afraid to accept the invitation. In ancient feudal society, the status levels were very clear. In Tianmu Kingdom, the members of the Xigong family were the most honored, and their subordinates naturally did not dare to cross the line.

Seeing that Zhao Lengyun was still hesitating, Ye Anran spoke again: "General Zhao, since His Royal Highness Huai Wang has said so, the general should accept this kindness. I am very familiar with His Royal Highness Huai Wang, and I have not seen him before." Who has he treated so favorably?"

"Hehe, General Zhao is different. This king has long admired the Zhao family, and Zhao Lengyun's name is even more impressive, so we finally have the opportunity to meet. How can we not invite the general to have a cup of tea?"

Seeing His Royal Highness Huai Wang said so, Zhao Lengyun couldn't refuse anymore...

So he nodded: "Thank you His Highness King Huai for your kindness, then... the subordinates would be more respectful than obedient."

"Okay, please come inside the general." Nishinomiya said with a smile.

In the private room on the second floor
There were three people sitting there waiting together, one was Heng Wang Xigongjin, the other was Zheng Yanru, a lady from the Zheng family who had an affair with Xigongjin, and the other was the fourth princess Xigongyue who was brought out by Xigongjin at the emperor's order.

Zhao Lengyun was taken aback when he walked in with King Huai. He didn't know there were other people in the room. Seeing that Xi Gongjin was there, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted again: "This subordinate has seen His Highness King Heng."

"Zhao Lengyun? What a coincidence, you also come to drink tea?" Nishi Gongjin was no stranger to Zhao Lengyun, and naturally met every day when he was in court, so he laughed and teased.

"Yes, my subordinates have been coming here to drink tea recently." Zhao Lengyun responded respectfully.

"Oh, so you are Zhao Lengyun, who is said to be the youngest general from the Zhao family?" Xi Gongyue, who had always been taciturn, actually spoke.

The voice was still indifferent, and even the eyes were so disdainful. She had heard about this character in the harem before, but since she rarely came out of her Xiuyue Palace, she had never seen Zhao Lengyun.

"This girl is...?" Zhao Lengyun, who heard the sound and looked away, felt a little electrified when he saw Xi Gongyue for the first time. It might be the so-called love at first sight.

Although Xi Gongyue has some beauty, but it is not one ten-thousandth of Ye Anran's. Zhao Lengyun is not a person who is greedy for beauty, and he has never been so excited when he met Ye Anran.

I don't know what's wrong today, I feel a little heart speeding up and beating non-stop.

Maybe it's because Xi Gongyue's innate cool temperament attracted him. Although Zhao Lengyun's name is cold, he is a very enthusiastic person. He is a filial and good son in the Zhao family, and a good general who kills the enemy on the battlefield. , In the eyes of soldiers, he is a good brother who values ​​love and responsibility.

When hot and cold meet, of course one person will be attracted to another person... Let me give you an example to illustrate that the magnet is that the same sex repels each other and the opposite sex attracts each other.

Two people with the same personality may not produce sparks, but two people with opposite personalities will burst out with consequences that no one can predict?

Just like that, Zhao Lengyun stared at Xi Gongyue for a while, and finally recovered from Xi Gongjin's light cough reminder, and immediately blushed: "This is...?"

"This is Xigongyue." Xigong Jin usually doesn't like Xigongyue very much, so he neither calls her Fourth Sister nor Yue'er.

Hearing that it was Xigongyue, Zhao Lengyun's face changed drastically. The Xigong family only had one princess. Although she was adopted by the concubine, her status was noble.

So Zhao Lengyun immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further: "This subordinate has seen Princess Yue."

"Get up, everyone is away from home, so you don't need to use the tricks of the court, vulgar." Xi Gongyue has always been not very pleasant to speak, Xi Gongjin and Xi Gongmo have long been used to it, but Zhao Lengyun is still a little bit disappointed.

Seeing his thoughts, Xi Gongmo patted him on the shoulder: "General Zhao, don't take it too seriously. My fourth sister is like this, with a cold face and a warm heart. By the way, let me introduce you to this, Zheng Yanru, the confidante of Xigong Jin girl."

"Hello, Ms. Zheng, you must be Ms. Zheng from a family of imperial physicians?" Zhao Lengyun greeted politely. He knew that it was not ordinary people who could sit and drink tea with princes.

"General Zhao is polite, Yanru is just an ordinary woman." Compared to Xi Gongyue, Zheng Yanru is more gentle.

During the banquet, although Xi Gongyue remained silent, Zhao Lengyun's eyes were reluctant to leave her cold and arrogant face. Although she always hit a wall, she still asked from time to time: "Princess Yue rarely goes out, right? Have you ever seen the princess?"

"Didn't you see it today?" Xi Gongyue choked Zhao Lengyun with his words unceremoniously.

"Uh, yes, this subordinate is very lucky today. Not only can I drink tea at the same table with the two princes, but I can also get to know Princess Yue and Miss Zheng." Zhao Lengyun said with a smile.

However, Xi Gongyue snorted coldly and said, "A general, is your mouth so sweet? I wonder if you are as quick-tongued as the enemy when you go to the battlefield."

Hearing this, Zhao Lengyun's face immediately changed drastically, Xi Gongyue's words always make people so embarrassing...

At this time, Xi Gongmo blamed and said: "Yue'er, don't be rude. General Zhao came from a family of generals. The Zhao family has done their best for our Xigong royal family for many years. Even the emperor values ​​​​the Zhao family. Don't talk nonsense."

"Yue'er is telling the truth, third brother, don't you see how glib he is?" Xi Gongyue retorted loudly, but it only made Zhao Lengyun more embarrassed.

After a while, Zhao Lengyun couldn't sit still, got up to say goodbye, before parting, he still reluctantly glanced at Xi Gongyue, but Luo Hua wanted to be ruthless, Xi Gongyue would rather look down at the teacup than to look at Zhao Lengyun.

Ye Anran just came in to add tea for everyone, saw Zhao Lengyun leaving, and asked suspiciously: "Huh? Why did General Zhao leave so quickly?"

"He is afraid that if he doesn't leave, he will choke to death after drinking tea." Xi Gongjin laughed.

"Choking to death? What does this mean? Is it possible that I am still poisoning you in the tea?" Ye Anran knew that Nishinomiya Nishiki was really joking, so he also took up the topic and asked.

"That's not it, this, you don't know about the second sister-in-law, but I understand one thing, that kid Zhao Lengyun has taken a fancy to our Princess Yue, right?" After finishing speaking, Xi Gongjin took a funny look Xi Gongyue sitting next to Zheng Yanru.

Even Huai Wang Xigongmo couldn't help teasing: "Fourth sister, your luck has arrived. To be honest, Zhao Lengyun is still very good for you. You are unyielding if you marry the Zhao family."

Xi Gongyue looked angry, she was about to say something, but Ye Anran spoke first, she actually had no other intentions, she just wanted to say something nice for General Zhao.

"General Zhao is a nice guy. He came to my place to drink tea many times. He never put on airs or bullied others. He was always waiting in line outside the door when the restaurant was full. He is a very upright person. "Ye Anran finished word by word.

Xi Gongyue looked at Ye Anran with hatred and asked in a cold voice: "Since he is so good, why don't you marry him?"
