Three months ago, Jiang Ling 'er escaped from her marriage and brought Li Niang to Haojing. She opened a tavern called Hundred Flowers House and claimed to be the owner. The wine in the tavern was brewed from hundreds of flowers. With the words' meeting friends through poetry and meeting hearts through melody', she became famous in the city in just a few months and attracted many literary and literary guests.
Business in the tavern was good this month, especially the wine brewed from wildflowers in the mountains. It sold very well. Tomorrow was the monthly cocktail party in the tavern. She was afraid that the wildflower wine would be sold out in a day, so she took some time to go to the nearby mountains to collect more so that she could brew it after the cocktail party.
On her way back to the city, Jiang Ling 'er heard a beautiful flute music coming from not far away. She was attracted by it and walked into the Breeze Pavilion to the north.
"Since you invited me to meet you, why do you have to cover your face with a veil?”Ji Jing and the person in the pavilion looked at each other, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. Now it seemed that he had worried too much. To have such a pair of lovely bright eyes, it should be the late Madam Si Nong.
He was the current Crown Prince. Not long ago, King Li told him that he wanted to marry a Crown Princess for him, the daughter of the current Minister of Finance.
There were many beautiful women around Ji Jing, but the main consort had always been suspended in the air. Presumably, the daughter of the finance minister was also worthy of his position, but her appearance was unknown.
A day ago, the finance minister went to the Crown Prince Palace to ask for an audience, saying that his daughter wanted to meet him outside the palace alone, or else she would make a fuss at home and commit suicide.
It was very common for a woman to marry a man she had never met before. Moreover, this person was the current Crown Prince. However, the finance minister's daughter refused no matter what. She wanted to find someone she loved. The finance minister had no choice but to go around with his daughter. It was not easy to persuade his daughter. The condition was that she had to meet him.
At this moment, he could not let King Li know. With King Li's temper, he would definitely punish him, so he asked Ji Jing to meet him outside the palace.
He had been waiting here since early in the morning. He saw a woman walking over in a misty green dress. Her slender body and face were covered with a green satin. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, the skin between her eyes was fair and smooth. A pair of big, watery eyes were staring at him without blinking, making him look very lovable.
Just looking at this pair of bright and clear eyes, it was like a clear spring waiting to surge. Such a pair of top-grade eyes was already far beyond his expectations.
He had never seen the finance minister's wife before. She had passed away early, so he had no hope of meeting her. However, he often saw the finance minister. Although he was kind and respectable, and had a heroic air in his gentle and refined manner, his eyes were small and slightly swollen, like a bulging goldfish. His nose bridge was not high, and his lips were extremely thick. As for his skin color, it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He often heard from the girls of Chu Mansion that a woman's face was covered by a white coat. Therefore, rouge, makeup, and makeup could not be missing. The Third Miss of the Finance Minister's Mansion had lived in a courtyard in the south of the Finance Minister's Mansion since she was young. She had never stepped out of the courtyard and the Finance Minister did not allow anyone to approach it. No one in the residence had seen her appearance, and the person who served her in the courtyard was also extremely mysterious. No one had seen her before.
Although he did not care about his future wife's appearance, he was also worried that he would be shocked on the wedding night and that it would be difficult for him to consummate his marriage. Everyone loved beauty. After all, he had seen the finance minister's face clearly. With that look, how good would a daughter look?
He only started to observe this when he knew who he was going to marry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to savor these things. Naturally, he didn't have much hope for this Miss Si Nong. His only wish was that she didn't follow her father too much and scare him.
Jiang Ling 'er smiled slightly. She thought that she had mistaken him for someone else. Could it be that she was wearing a veil?
Her skin had been sensitive these days and it was easy for her to get some small red rashes. The doctor said that she could not be exposed to the wind, or else she would not have hung a light veil on her face. When she was picking flowers, she even felt that it was a hindrance. In order to protect her skin, she endured it.
The man was extremely handsome and was exactly the type that she liked. Ever since she came to Haojing, she had been unbridled and disrespectful. No one in Haojing knew who she was, let alone her identity. Previously, she was bored in the Ji Kingdom's palace. Coincidentally, she was free, so she began to act willfully. She had nothing to do but flirt with one or two beautiful men in the tavern. It was something that everyone was used to.
Looking at the man's appearance, Jiang Ling 'er could not help but feel an itch in her hands. She put the box filled with wildflowers aside and took two steps forward. The thug touched the man's cheek and said,"This skin is really delicate!"
"What are you doing!" Ji Jing's expression immediately changed and he took a step back.
Ji Jing was concerned that the finance minister loved his daughter dearly, and this was a marriage that could consolidate his power, so he agreed. Who knew that this woman was so lewd, touching him the moment they met.
Jiang Ling 'er didn't reply. It must be very interesting. Since he was so afraid of teasing, she would have some fun.
She suddenly snatched the flute from Ji Jing's hand. Her movements were so fast that Ji Jing did not have time to react. His hand was still empty, and the flute fell into someone else's hand.
Jiang Ling 'er pretended to be cold.”
Ji Jing was stunned when he heard that. His mind kept spinning. He couldn't understand what this was. What was the tone of the order?! In this world, only the King dared to order him around. The rest were either tired of living or felt that their lives were too hard.
"Die!" The atmosphere instantly became subtle and funny. They were like two stubborn children who did not give in to each other.
Before he could react, Jiang Ling 'er's other hand quickly pulled out the dagger she had prepared earlier and pointed it at his neck."If you don't brag, then die. I'll be buried with you!”
A blatant threat, or a threat with his own life. What kind of woman was he going to marry? The first time they met, the situation was so strange. Ji Jing couldn't describe what he felt, but he felt that something was wrong.
It was just an appointment, and she had been tortured to come here. Her temper could not be so rude. This was offending her superiors. Could it be that she had made an appointment outside the palace because of this? In the palace, he had already shouted for an assassin and asked the guards to subdue him. It was all his fault for being careless and being caught unprepared.
This was the first time he knew that he still needed to be on guard when meeting his future Crown Princess.
"Blow!" It was the same cold word again, and it was still the same commanding tone.
Seeing that he still did not agree, Jiang Ling 'er nimbly put the dagger in her hand back to his neck. A bright red seeped out from where the blade was, contrasting with his delicate and fair skin, it was very eye-catching.
Zuo Gongci frowned when he felt a sharp pain. He felt uneasy. If the dagger went a little deeper, he would really slit his throat.
Did she want to murder her husband? Kill me and you won't have to marry me? That was all he could think of now.
At first, Ji Jing thought that she was making a fuss, but now it seemed that she was serious. Whether or not he could keep his life depended on whether he listened or not.
Should he brag or not? Of course it was bragging!
Ji Jing obediently took the jade flute and pointed at the dagger on his neck.""If that's the case, I'm afraid it won't work.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ling 'er knew that he had agreed. She did not say anything more and moved the dagger away. After putting the dagger into her pocket, she raised her hand to signal that she could start blowing.
Ji Jing turned his back to Jiang Ling 'er and his eyes turned cold.
There were only two possibilities for her to be able to pull the dagger away so easily and let him play freely. One was that she was a young girl, naive and foolish, and easily trusted others. The other was that she had already prepared for it and had already made arrangements, just waiting for him to disobey.
Without a doubt, it was definitely not the first type!
It seemed that not only did this woman not want to marry him, but she also wanted to kill him for pleasure. She was drawing a circle for him to jump.
Ji Jing definitely couldn't take the risk of disobeying. That would be exactly what she wanted, giving her a reason to murder her husband. He was the Crown Prince, and his life was much more valuable than hers.
If it weren't for his misgivings, he really wanted to slash this woman's neck and throw her corpse into the wilderness to feed the wolves! Just thinking about it made him feel much better!
He wouldn't risk his life in vain. The only thing he could do now was to let him brag!
The flute played. Jiang Ling 'er sat in the pavilion and listened quietly.
She wasn't afraid that the man would try to escape. She wasn't the woman he wanted to see anyway. So what if he ran away? It was quite interesting. Jiang Ling 'er thought of his ugly face just now and found it interesting. A handsome man was a handsome man. No matter what angle he looked at, it made people drool.
In the Clear Breeze Pavilion, Ji Jing held the jade flute and played it leisurely. The sound of the flute was melodious, like celestial music from beyond the heavens. The sunlight shone between his eyebrows, reflecting his handsome yet somewhat evil face, making people intoxicated.
There were many beautiful men in Gaojing City, and she had flirted with a few of them before. However, compared to the flute player in front of her, they were all inferior. How could she not have met such a good product before!
Jiang Ling 'er observed him carefully. Although he was tall, he looked a little thin. He had willowy shoulders and a thin waist. From his back, he looked more like a tall woman than a man.
She saw Ji Jing playing obediently, not resisting or leaving, and with his back facing her, she simply narrowed her eyes and leaned against the pillar, allowing the beautiful music to enter her ears and enter her heart.
After the song ended, Jiang Ling 'er slowly opened her eyes and looked at the green mountains in the distance. She was still savoring the flute music in her heart, as if the warmth had sunk into her heart and dissipated for a long time."Very similar, but not that similar!"
Ji Jing turned around and walked closer to her. Looking at her blurry eyes, it was like a demon that could suck people's breath away, making people unable to look away.
He was not in the mood to pick on her. Whether he loved her or not had nothing to do with him. He wanted to leave now, far away from this broken pavilion."Since we've met, I won't stay any longer!”
He was a top-grade character. It would be a pity if Jiang Ling 'er did not have fun.
Jiang Ling 'er had never been merciful to beautiful men. She did not want to take advantage of them. She just wanted to have fun. She liked all the beautiful things in the world, including people. She only wanted to make herself happy.
