Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 20 The Second Meeting with Liu Xi
Aunt Xian went out, and Lanyue came with Shan Qing.

"Slave maid greets the girl." Shan Qing bowed.

"No need to be too polite, I haven't thanked you for saving your life yet." Yan Yu still felt a little guilty towards Shan Qing.

"Your servant should do what you should do. The empress gave you this servant, and this servant will be yours from now on, so don't be polite."

Before she came, Xiao Shunzi confessed three things: first, she was given to the girl by the prince, so he couldn't tell; , those who need the palace to go out, must go back in time to rescue the soldiers.

"Okay, you are good at it. When I go out, you can follow me. Yueyin is the same as Lanyue. What else did you do?"

"Girl, this servant is the prince's female guard, but this servant is a quick learner and can learn everything except embroidery..."

"Then, on weekdays, you can help me manage the private treasury."

"Okay, this servant will, the servant can read and write, and can keep accounts."

Yan Yu suddenly felt that he had picked up the treasure, and his eyes were shining with gold. Why did he think he had found the treasure? I will talk about it later.

Shan Qing blushed at the sight: The girl is really rare, no wonder the master...

Perhaps it was because of the timidity of being close to the hometown, the closer she was to the house on Wangfu Street, the more anxious Yan Yu became, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.

The dark house door, the shiny door cymbals.After entering the hanging flower gate, one enters the courtyard, winding corridors, and the stones under the steps form a narrow path; further forward, there are several wing rooms on each side, and the main room where parents lived is in front of them.

Walking into the main room, Yan Yu looked around, and the bright sunlight came in from the circular arched windows.The room was tidy. There was a carved canopy bed in the corner, a dressing table on one side, and a copper mirror with rhombic flowers on it, and a dressing box with big red lacquer carved plum blossoms.There are also several paintings of celebrities and masters on the wall, and the book case where Dad handles official business is also here.

Yan Yu supported the canopy bed and sat on the footrest beside the bed, recalling how her parents got along in this house back then, tears streaming down her face: "Father, mother, my daughter misses you."

Yan Yu sat for an hour, lying on the edge of the bed and crying for a long time, crying for her poor mother, her miserable life experience, and the child who was too late to see in her previous life.

When she finally walked out, Yan Yu's eyes were swollen, her expression was listless, and she was restless.

After reluctantly eating a few pieces of pastries, after getting into the carriage, he just leaned against the window lattice and looked out the window absently.

"Girl, don't be sad, Master and Madam don't want you to be so sad." Nurse Xian took Yan Yu's hand to comfort her.

"How's the backyard?"

"There is a huge pear tree in the backyard, which has produced many young fruits. But after all, it has not been taken care of for many years, and it is a bit decayed."

When we arrived at the Baijia Tea House, Bai Zhen waited in front of the building as usual.Yan Yu smiled and said: "Cousin."

Bai Zhen saw that she was depressed, so he only pointed to the upstairs: "The prince of the county is upstairs, the second floor is fully covered, and even the guests who have arrived have paid a lot of money to leave."

Bai Zhen only felt that the past few days had been extraordinary.The lord, the prince, and the county lord met all over within a few days.She thought to herself, she just missed seeing the emperor.But what she didn't expect was that after a few days, her thought would come true.

After Yan Yu and Shan Qing went upstairs, Bai Zhen pulled Lanyue and asked, "What's wrong with my cousin?"

"The girl went to the house on Wangfu Street, and she came out like this. The servant girl is also very worried about the girl."

Yan Yu lightly moved her lotus steps to the outside of the Dahongpao hall, when she heard footsteps, Liu Xi who was across the door quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

The two stood face to face again.

Last time her mood was decisive, but this time, she was powerless and bewildered.

Her mother died tragically, and she didn't die well in her previous life. She was really scared.

He didn't even perform the minimum salute, and even called him by his first name: "Liu Xi, why do you need to see me? Last time I was in the palace, I finished everything I needed to say."

"Yu'er, listen to me"

"Yu'er?"

"I'm sorry, but these years, I have always called you in my heart like this."

"Why do you? I just want to get rid of the past, why don't you let me go, can't we all start living again? Don't hold on to this marriage contract, maybe we can all have a brighter future? If you are like this, you know me How scared are you? Princess Linlang will kill me at any time, I don't have the ability to provoke her, and you don't have the ability to protect me from her."

Outside the door, Shan Qing was very worried when she heard Yan Yu's crying accusation.But the girl told her not to go in.

"Yes, Yu'er, I will always find a way to protect you, the emperor promised me"

"You can't do it, don't be naive. Do you really want to kill her again after I die?"

"Again? When did I kill her?"

"If you don't understand, just let me go! I, Yan Yu, only want to live without you from now on."

"Yu'er, calm down. Listen to me, His Majesty promised me that within one year, as long as I solve the Yangzhou corruption case and stabilize people's livelihood. After returning, the emperor will definitely give us a marriage."

"Don't use these to fool me. I won't wait for you. I'll find someone who treats me well. It's impossible for you."

"Yu'er, don't be impulsive. One year, you just wait for me for one year, and I will definitely come back to marry you."

"You are too naive. You don't know Princess Linlang too well. If you still want me to live in this world, don't come to me again. I won't wait for you, that's all for now." Yan Yu decided to get up and leave.

"Yu'er, wait for me"

Yan Yu opened the door and came out, Shan Qing looked at her worriedly.She walked forward in a daze, and Shan Qing hurried forward to support her.

Downstairs Bai Zhen also looked at her worriedly, Yan Yu couldn't smile, she just said: "Cousin, I'm not in good spirits today, I want to go back to rest earlier. I want to go to Jingci Temple on the first day of the new year, are you free?"

"Yes, of course I'm free, I'll accompany you. You should go home quickly."

Anyone with a heart has got the news about today's matter, and the Baijia teahouse is still not hidden enough.

When Gu Xuanyue knew that the two met, he only blamed the little counselor for not making a quick decision, for fear of future troubles.As for hearing that Lin Lang would harm her, he had to be vigilant and wanted to go to the palace again to talk about her.

But Xuanyue hadn't entered the palace yet, Liu Xi went to his post the next day, and waited outside the city for Yan Yu to arrive, but Princess Linlang went with her.

Princess Linlang has a dignified temperament, and Xiao's mother has only delicate features.However, all the masters in the palace are doting and doting. They have been arrogant and domineering since they were young. There is only Liu Xi, whom she has admired for many years, but always treats her with no false words.Even the emperor's grandmother who doted on her was unwilling to fulfill her affection, and finally waited until the unsightly Yan Yu retired, and her father agreed to Liu Xi's one-year agreement.

She is 16 years old, and her daughter's flowering period is short, so she can't wait.Therefore, she also obtained her father's consent, as long as she could win Liu Xi's favor, she would give her a marriage within one year.If not, after returning to Beijing, I will let my father marry me.

When Eunuch Chen got the news, he also went to report it to the emperor. It was time for the emperor to go out of the palace to relax.
