After giving Huangfu Zhuoqing a reassuring look, Huangfu Yifeng continued,""It has been so long since your son has paid his respects, so this time, Imperial Father, please allow your son to pay his respects to her like how Imperial Mother paid her respects.”
Unable to accept Huangfu Yifeng's sudden change in attitude, the Emperor and Concubine Jing did not know what to say. Concubine Jing finally digested his words and was instantly overjoyed. The Emperor nodded repeatedly and smiled again."That's good. Consort Jing is also your elder, so it is only right to treat her with the courtesy of a mother.”
When he greeted Concubine Xiao, weren't they…Bai Zhengting looked at the two brothers who still didn't have any change in expression. When did they have such a good mood when facing Concubine Jing?
However, since Huangfu Yifeng had spoken, Bai Zhengting ordered his men to prepare.
Not long after, the pastries on the stone table in the pavilion were removed. Instead, a jade chessboard was placed on the table. The ivory flags were divided into two sides. Beside the stone table was a small table with an exquisite piano on it.
" Your Majesty, this…" Consort Jing was puzzled. Weren't the two brothers going to kneel before her? Why did he prepare all these things?
The Emperor was also stunned. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and came to a realization."I remember now. When the two royal sons paid their respects to their mother, one played the zither and the other played chess. Beloved consort, you are lucky to be able to experience it personally!”It seemed that these two brothers had really forgotten about the past. If they were willing to spend so much time paying their respects, it seemed that their beloved consort would be happy!
"Play the zither? Chess? Emperor, they're fooling ChenQie!" What kind of greeting was this! She wanted them to kneel before her!
" Beloved Concubine, you don't know. This is what Concubine Xiao requested." The Emperor carefully comforted her. The two brothers had already done so much. If Concubine Jing refused again, it would be her fault." In the past, the two of them were naughty and hated learning. Zhuo Qing didn't know music, and Yi Feng didn't know chess, so Concubine Xiao made them pay their respects to her every day. Beloved Consort, stop dawdling and quickly sit down!”The Emperor hurriedly pressed the black-faced Consort Jing into a chair. It had been a long time since he had seen such a scene. It was time to savor it.
"Consort Jing, please!" Huangfu Yifeng sat opposite her and said coldly.
Huangfu Zhuoqing also sat down in front of the zither. His eyes were filled with evil. He knew what Huangfu Yifeng was thinking. Next, he would let this vixen experience their "greetings"!
A handsome man sat quietly in front of her with his slender fingers on the strings. He frowned slightly as if he was troubled by something. A gentle breeze blew past the darkness behind him. His face was calm and his hair was fluttering, like a person in a painting.
However, a moment later, an unforgettable zither tune reverberated in the sky above the imperial garden for a long time. If this sound echoed in the forest, it would definitely cause flowers to wither, birds to fly, and beasts to roar. The two people hiding in the grass only wanted to dig into the ground and escape. The guards outside the pavilion had distorted expressions. The emperor took refuge in the name of admiring the flowers. Concubine Jing was so shocked that she lost her grip on the white stone and it fell onto the chessboard.
"Wuhui, Consort Jing, take your hand away.”Looking coldly at Consort Jing, Huangfu Yifeng did not seem to be disturbed by the earth-shattering zither music at all. His black chess pieces moved quickly, as if he was very impatient.
"You!" Consort Jing wanted to say something, but when she met Huangfu Yifeng's gaze, she was so frightened that she forgot everything.
The Emperor was not by her side, and the zither that produced the demonic sound was close to her. Under Huangfu Yifeng's terrifying gaze, Concubine Jing suddenly felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She was not in the mood to think about how to play chess. She only wanted to end this damn "greeting" as soon as possible!
The result was obvious. Huangfu Yifeng defeated her in a few moves. At the same time, Huangfu Zhuoqing's music, which could make people have nightmares for days, ended.
Consort Jing's expression was extremely ugly. Putting aside the fact that her ears were poisoned, didn't losing to Huangfu Yifeng so quickly mean that she was very weak?! In the end, it was all because of that damned Concubine Xiao. She didn't even let her go after she became a ghost!
He was so angry that he raised his hand to wipe away the traces of his defeat. However, when he saw the chessboard from the corner of his eye, his hand froze and his face turned very ugly. He fiercely swept all the chess pieces to the ground, stood up, pointed at Huangfu Yifeng, and scolded," What do you mean?!" When she was playing chess earlier, she did not take a closer look due to the interference of the demonic music. Just a glance, all the black chess pieces were connected to one word: Get lost!
"I mean it literally." Huangfu Zhuoqing, who had already seen the word, stood up and clapped his hands. He ordered his men to clean up the mess and played a song for this vixen. What a loss! She probably didn't realize that she was playing the song of the dead.
"You guys…"
"Hahaha, my beloved consort, how was it? Did you lose the match just now? Look at how angry you are." When the Emperor was taking refuge, he saw her waving her chess piece in anger from afar and knew that she had lost." Don't be angry, don't be angry. You should be happy that they are willing to treat you with courtesy. Why care about winning or losing?”Then, he turned to Huangfu Zhuoqing and shook his head while laughing."Zhuoqing, I didn't expect you to be so outstanding in all aspects, but your music is so unflattering. No wonder Concubine Xiao wanted you to play the piano every day! I didn't expect you to not improve at all! It's fortunate that Concubine Xiao can endure your zither music! Look at Yi Feng, he could win a game of chess in such a short time!”
The Emperor seemed to be very excited and couldn't stop talking once he started. He hugged Consort Jing and said with a smile,""Beloved concubine, it seems that your chess skills are only so-so. Thinking back, Concubine Xiao killed this kid until he was not left alive! Speaking of which, Concubine Xiao is really a talented woman. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is also patient…"
"Your Majesty!" Consort Jing angrily broke free from the hands on her waist and stared viciously at the two people who did not put her in their eyes. These two animals not only played with her, but also made the emperor remember Consort Xiao's kindness. They did not kneel down to her and made the emperor happy! Good! Very good! One day, she would get it back!
"Emperor, ChenQie suddenly feels unwell and will take her leave first!”After saying that quickly, she turned around and ran out of the pavilion.
Everyone could see that she was in a fit of pique. The Emperor, who had thrown himself at her, was naturally the same. He hurriedly said a few words of encouragement to the Huangfu brothers and left with his guards after Consort Jing.
" You two..." Bai Zhengting, who had seen the situation clearly, sat down. He was really scared to death by these two kids!
"Feng, where are you going?" Huangfu Zhuoqing was just about to taunt the vixen when he saw Huangfu Yifeng walking out of the pavilion.
Huangfu Yifeng didn't answer. He left the pavilion and jumped lightly, landing in front of the two girls who were about to sneak away. He glanced at Xiao Qingying and then at Lin Yilan. He smiled mysteriously and said in a cold tone,""What a coincidence, Little Enz."
"Yeah, what a coincidence!" Lin Yilan nodded guiltily, then revealed her usual smile. She took a few steps back and bowed respectfully." Your Highness, Gu Yin knows her mistake. I hope Your Highness will consider the fact that Gu Yin stepped out of the Jade Bamboo Residence to save someone and forgive Gu Yin this time!”There was nothing wrong with admitting guilt first. The reason was reasonable. Even a wise and wise prince should not be calculative with her!
"This time, it's to save people, but according to this king's knowledge, ever since this king gave the restraining order, you've never been content with your actions.”Huangfu Yifeng wasn't someone to be trifled with either. His tone sounded like he was chatting, but he casually brought up her numerous crimes.
It was shameful to settle scores after autumn! Surveillance was shameless!
Lin Yilan didn't expect Huangfu Yifeng to see through her sneaky escape. She couldn't think of a suitable excuse. She instinctively wanted to turn to Xiao Qingying as a shield. After all, it was this she-devil who caused her to leave Jade Bamboo Residence several times!
However, when she turned around, she found that there was no one around her. Huangfu Zhuoqing was holding Xiao Qingying, who was cursing and cursing with a dark face, a few steps away.
Don't look at any evil!
Lin Yilan quickly turned her head. It was more pleasing to the eyes to look at the iceberg in front of her.
"Your Highness, are you just trying to scare me by saying all this?" Lin Yilan asked with a smile. If His Highness really wanted to punish me, I should have been caught by His Highness the first time I slipped out?”
"Gu Yin, this king really admires you more and more.”Huangfu Yifeng suddenly laughed out loud. After so many probing attempts, which one of them wasn't beautifully thrown back? For the first time, he looked at the woman in front of him seriously. Although his face was not as bright as the moon, his eyes were as bright as the stars. His intelligent eyes carried a sly light, and his entire person was enveloped in a clean and pure spiritual qi. Why didn't she feel this way before?
"You flatter me…What are you looking at?" Lin Yilan asked carefully as she felt uncomfortable under Huangfu Yifeng's undisguised gaze. She really could not afford to offend this man. She hoped that he was not thinking about anything related to her.
Huangfu Yifeng didn't answer her. He just waved at her and turned to walk out of the imperial garden."Let's go back to the residence." Infected by Lin Yilan's rude words of " you " and " me ", Huangfu Yifeng unconsciously threw away the title of " This King ".
Lin Yilan was shocked and stunned for a moment. He just said…we're going back to the residence?!
Let's go back to the residence…
A warm current surged into his heart. He seemed to have heard his parents 'voices again. Xiaolan, are you going home this weekend?
At that time, she was loved by her parents and did not suffer much. Her school was smooth sailing. Every time she went home, her mother would prepare a table full of good dishes. Her father would talk to her about all kinds of interesting things in the medical world. She would not be bullied everywhere. No one would come to find trouble with her. She would not only have burnt potatoes, carrots, and cabbage for three meals a day...
"Little Yin?" Huangfu Yifeng walked for a while and saw that she didn't follow him. He turned around and saw her staring at him blankly. Her eyes were lost and her usual liveliness was gone. It seemed to be covered with a faint layer of dust. The expression on his face made him frown." What's wrong?”
Lin Yilan came back to her senses after being called by Huangfu Yifeng. She quickly composed herself and shook her head with a smile."It's nothing."
"Let's go." This time, Huangfu Yifeng came back and held her hand as they left together, lest she was left alone again and showed the expression that made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
The warmth from his hand made Lin Yilan lower her eyes, covering the ripples in her eyes. Her heart that had been on edge since she came to this strange world suddenly calmed down. Lin Yilan gently held the pair of hands that gave her peace of mind. She automatically changed the words " we're going back to the residence " to " we're going home."
It was rare for Lin Yilan to be so quiet beside Huangfu Yifeng. Along the way, she looked at their hands in a daze and giggled.
"Wait, the female…hero hasn't come yet!”Lin Yilan, who had been daydreaming, suddenly came back to her senses when she was brought to the carriage. She was in a hurry to go back. She hadn't even taken Xiao Mo's life with her, so how could she just return to the manor like this?
"Don't worry, they will come. We will wait for them in the carriage.”Huangfu Yifeng helped Lin Yilan onto the carriage and opened the door for her to enter. Then, he followed her.
"Them?" Could it be that the ruffian was also going to the Imperial Residence? Lin Yilan, who had just sat down, almost went up to beat Huangfu Yifeng up. To think that she was touched for so long just now. It turned out that he had deliberately misled her into thinking. This " we " was not that " we "!
"Why don't you think about how to clear your name?”Huangfu Yifeng smiled as he looked at Lin Yilan, whose eyes were burning with anger, and successfully put out the fire.
"So you believe that I didn't harm Yourou?”Lin Yilan was overjoyed when she heard this. If he believed her, then the moment she threw away the blame was just around the corner!
"Whether I believe you or not depends on yourself.”Huangfu Yifeng gave an ambiguous answer. However, Lin Yilan's ears told a completely different story.
"Looking at myself? Are you saying that I should investigate it myself?! Isn't that right?" His large bright eyes looked at the pale-faced Qing Tian with great anticipation.
Huangfu Yifeng smiled and did not answer. He turned to look out of the window.
Instantly, the carriage fell into an awkward silence.
Lin Yilan suddenly remembered what happened in the carriage the last time. Her face flushed red and she peeked at Huangfu Yifeng, who was still leaning against the window. Seeing that he didn't notice anything strange about her, she quietly heaved a sigh of relief. She lifted the curtains on her side and pretended to admire the scenery like him.
"Take your dirty hands away! I'll do it myself!" Just as Lin Yilan was about to go crazy from the awkward atmosphere, a voice that made her feel extremely grateful finally sounded from outside the carriage. For the first time, she felt that the female devil's voice was so melodious and pleasant!
"Ying 'er, slow down. If you fall, my heart will ache!”Huangfu Zhuoqing opened the door and followed Xiao Qingying into the carriage with a smile.
Xiao Qingying sat down beside Lin Yilan and put her bag aside, obviously not letting anyone sit beside her. Huangfu Zhuoqing wasn't annoyed. He sat beside Huangfu Yifeng calmly. After signaling the coachman to leave, he went to chat with his younger brother.
