atypical prostitute

Chapter 228 Breaking the Window Paper

In the water pavilion at the end of the lotus pond, in the unique elegant atmosphere of early summer, a beautiful woman in a light-colored gauze skirt is lazily leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, playing with the white-clothed guests next to her. A novel game called checkers came from the barbarians. The multicolored glass pieces landed crisply on the crystal chessboard, and there was a crisp sound of pearls and jade jingling.

Those slaves who were born with hibiscus like faces and willows like eyebrows stood on both sides with their hands down, their pale pink skirts fluttering in the wind like clouds in the sky.The leading green cloud, a woman in a Hu suit, is concerned about the master's battle situation, and from the corner of her eye, she is always chasing the pink and jade-carved children running and playing in the pavilion.

The big white cat, which was forgotten by both the hostess and the young master, curled its fluffy tail lazily, staring intently at the few goldfish in the glazed tank.

This is exactly what Bai Yinmei saw when he came back from Jiangdong after finishing his affairs.

It was a pleasant afternoon, so sweet that people almost forgot the dark clouds deposited on Xie Chao's sky.

As beautiful as fake.

……

……

Ye Yun was the first to notice Bai Yinmei's arrival. He stumbled out, climbed over the threshold, and hugged the familiar uncle, his dark eyes full of anticipation.Bai Yinmei has always loved Ye Yun, seeing him so enthusiastic, he couldn't bear to let him down, so he quickly leaned over and picked him up, letting the little man lick his saliva on his face.

Yun'er is indeed the cutest and brightest child in the entire Xie dynasty, her body is always fragrant, her skin is always pink and tender, and even her hair is fluffy with the faint fragrance of milk.

Bai Yinmei thought complacently, even the weight of her arms and wrists was covered with pride.

Although the vision at birth made those impure-minded people in the palace regard Ye Yun as an enemy.But anyone who has really touched him will fall in love with him, he is pure, lovely, harmless, as soft as clouds in the sky, and as sweet as granulated sugar.

Even the saliva smells like flowers.

How distorted and abnormal would it be for someone to regard this soft and sweet little person as a potential threat!
Bai Yinmei, who was completely unaware that her inner world could also be classified as "distorted and dark", thought angrily. Just at this moment, a game of checkers was over, and the female officer stepped forward to count. Li Ci looked up tiredly, and saw the Bai Yinmei came back from Jiangdong.

"Playing checkers again?"

Bai Yinmei spoke unhappily, and rushed towards Jun Fengxi with dissatisfaction.

Like the past 20 times, Li Ci lost to Jun Fengxi again.

This man who always exudes a calming and elegant fragrance from his sleeves, his chess moves seem gentle and harmless, but in fact they are as continuous as water, unknowingly driving his opponents to a dead end.It can be said that playing chess with him is a doomed failure. Bai Yinmei once overturned the chessboard with a green face after losing eighteen games in a row, and vowed never to play chess with this smiling fox even once again!
However, Li Ci likes to play chess with Jun Fengxi.

Although I will lose every time, I never tire of it.

Because Jun Fengxi cannot be judged by common sense, verbal communication will only be brought into a deeper and darker maze unconsciously.He is an opponent that most people can't control and are not sure to kill. Since he can't be forcibly erased, and he can't be recruited, then he can only attack him side by side, gradually understand him, straighten him out, and control him.

This is exactly the reason why Changsha King, Liang King, Wei King...these powerful people know they are invincible and have been defeated repeatedly, but they have been defeated repeatedly.

Playing chess is a method, through hands-on conversation, the messy twine is pulled out one by one and twisted into a rope.

It's been a long, arduous process, and while the real purpose may have been futile, it's by no means fruitless.

After at least fifteen consecutive games of chess, Li Ci has a new understanding of Jun Fengxi's thoughts.

"Don't you know how to let it go?"

Bai Yinmei said angrily, even if it was checkers, he couldn't bear it.

He returned Ye Yun in his arms to the nanny, and stood on the left side of Jun Fengxi with his arms folded, which happened to be a three-legged situation.

Looking at his innocent and resolute face, Jun Fengxi chuckled, and said: "If you play chess with me as bad as your chess skills, I will definitely let you."

"It's as if the outcome is under your control!"

Bai Yinmei said in disgust, of course he knew that Jun Fengxi had just stabbed him on purpose.

Outsiders think that he is Jun Fengxi's disciple and is deeply loved, but in fact, this guy treats himself as a tool for fun!

Fight bullying everywhere!
Force him to admit his incompetence and stupidity!
Live in the hell of frustration every day, every day!

"Because if you play chess with you, manipulating the outcome is indeed a very simple matter."

Jun Fengxi said with a smile, the silk sleeves fluttered in the breeze, and accidentally brushed against the back of Bai Yinmei's naturally drooping hands, which gave the young man a numb discomfort.

"Are you implying that I am stupid?"

"Aren't you an idiot?"

Jun Fengxi spoke with puns, Bai Yinmei wanted to retort, but because he met his gentle eyes like autumn water, his ups and downs were involuntarily softened, and even the slightly harsh content was savored. It shows the taste of the elders caring for the younger ones.

"……I……"

"Okay, don't bully Ah Mei anymore."

Li Ci, who realized that Bai Yinmei was about to be led into the maze by Jun Fengxi, spoke decisively and changed the topic back.

"Is Jiangdong's affairs going well?"

"As Si Niangzi expected, someone deliberately picked right and wrong, but fortunately, it has been resolved."

Bai Yinmei, who suddenly woke up from a dream, spoke succinctly.It turned out that as early as five years ago, with the acquiescence of Emperor Wu, Li Ci gradually assisted Bai Yinmei to move the survivors of Xiliang who wanted to submit to the Xie Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River, and lived a life of peace and rain that was completely different from the lonely smoke in the desert of Xiliang. , I hope that while staying away from my homeland, I will be influenced by Chinese culture and melt my dream of restoring the country little by little.

After Ye Chuan became the general manager of Yangzhou, he intensified his comfort and tenderness to the counties and townships where the Xiliang survivors gathered, and catalyzed the integration of outsiders and locals with a gentleness that was not at all like a conqueror.

But integration takes time. After all, Xiliang is an ancient country that has lasted for nearly a thousand years and has its own culture and beliefs.In the settlement of Xiliang survivors, conflicts between Xiliang people and local people occur from time to time. Sometimes it is the xenophobia of the local people, but more often it comes from the voice of rejecting Sinicization within Xiliang.Although Ye Chuan was very stingy in promoting talents from Xiliang, and the residences of Xiliang survivors were all governed by Xiliang nobles, but they had to be punished if they violated the rules.

This incident was provoked by a widow relying on the old to sell the old.Because of his noble family and great prestige, Bai Yinmei could only let Bai Yinmei take a trip in person.

"Clean up these old bastards sooner or later!"

Recalling the disgraceful face of the past few days, Bai Yinmei said angrily, and Li Ci hurriedly comforted him: "It is inevitable for the old man to miss his homeland, maybe we are being harsh."

"Cut, a bunch of moths. You really care so much about Xiliang's traditions and beliefs, why didn't you commit suicide when you broke down the city?"

Bai Yinmei said disdainfully, and suddenly remembered the attack on the mountain road, and hummed to Jun Fengxi: "Over there at Daming Temple... Thank you very much. Thanks to meeting you, Fourth Lady escaped smoothly."

His tone was not kind, but Jun Fengxi was still very personable, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of lifting a finger."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Bai Yinmei's mouth: "Since it's easy to send Chu Qing back to the capital, why didn't you do it sooner!"

Facing Bai Yinmei's rude accusation, Jun Fengxi said casually: "Because only doing that can make Chu Qing feel guilty and facilitate my next plan."

"You—do you know that if your plan goes wrong, Si Niangzi may—"

"Didn't the accident you were worried about never happen?"

Jun Fengxi said it as a matter of course, because of their conversation, Li Ci smelled something else.

She calmly ordered the servants to step back temporarily, and even the big white cat squatting in front of the glazed fish tank was dragged away. After making sure that there were no idle people waiting in the room, she quietly looked at the They said softly: "Mr. Jun, you just said that Chu Qing felt guilty, what do you mean by the last sentence?"

"It's nothing special, it's nothing more than my little revenge against the Queen Mother and King Wei."

Jun Fengxi smiled ambiguously, took out the cypress fan from his sleeve, and pointed at Bai Yinmei who was pouting at the side, "I'm not like some people who are obviously incompetent, but like to be self-righteous. I keep talking about love, but disappear at the most critical moment." without a trace."

"you……"

Bai Yinmei said angrily, but because he was not in Yangzhou when the attack on Daming Temple happened, he could only hang his head powerlessly after expressing his position angrily.

It was Li Ci who saved him.

"Mr. Jun, you saved my life on the mountain road, and I am grateful for that. But because you saved my life, I don't think I owe you a favor."

"Oh? Could it be that the wife of the manager wants to ask my teacher for a crime?"

Jun Fengxi smiled in astonishment, still with that unparalleled elegance and gentleness.

"Ask your teacher Xingshi to blame? Lici is just an ant, how can he have such courage? I just can't help being curious, I really want to know what Mr. Jun wants to get from me after years of pursuit! "

The words seem humble, but they are actually serious.

Jun Fengxi's smile became even more gentle.

"Does a man need a reason to be nice to a woman?"

The vicissitudes of promise overflowed from the corners of his warm mouth as a matter of course, coupled with his focused and affectionate eyes——

Rao De had known this person's duplicity for a long time, and Li Ci still almost fell into the trap he set up with tenderness.

In a flash, she dug her nails into her palm, forcing herself to wake up from the illusion of tenderness with severe pain.

"A man is nice to a woman, of course he doesn't need a reason, because what he needs is a reward."

She spoke as calmly as possible, because she was worried that she would be captured by tenderness the next moment her eyes met, and her eyes were always fixed on a budding water lily in the depths of the pool outside the window.

"Let's not say whether it's worth it or not. Mr. Jun, you are a wise man. You should be very clear that you are destined to get nothing in return for what you have done to me? What's more-Mr. Jun treats me like a man treats a woman Is... that kind of good? Why do I always feel that Mr. Jun is trying to take away something more important than my life from me? Mr. Jun, what is your purpose! What is the reward you want! "

In the end, the words were even a bit sharp.

I didn't expect the delicate and gentle woman to say such disturbing words, Jun Fengxi was also slightly taken aback, but fortunately, he is a well-known romantic figure after all, he has always been quick-witted and adaptable, and he regained his tact in an instant With an affectionate gesture, she tapped on the folding fan and said, "Because I am a flower cherisher."

"In order to satisfy your sinful desire to keep the fallen flowers, you will break off the flower branches with your own hands."

Li Ci said sharply, she never believed any promise made by Jun Fengxi, no matter how sincere his smile was, what fell in her eyes was always the face separated by layers of fog.Even though this man is close at hand and within reach, there is still a layer of mist between them, making it hard to see clearly.

From the first time they met, she knew that this man was unpredictable and never sincere.

Maybe it was because of her broken heart, Jun Fengxi restrained her smirk uncharacteristically, no longer piled up the fake and flashy smiles on her face, and finally had a bit of honesty.But Li Ci knew that this was just another mask of his.

"Yes, I will break off the flower branches in order to keep the fallen flowers."

He spoke frankly, every character that flowed from the corners of his moist lips made people tremble with fear.

"But—so what? Everyone will have some inhuman hobbies, and I consider mine to be quite normal."

"Of course your preference is normal, if the flowers you like are the flowers that can be seen everywhere in the garden."

Li Ci spoke calmly, the hands hidden in the sleeves behind her were trembling secretly.

She is having a dangerous conversation with Jun Fengxi, and no one knows what kind of ferocious Jun Fengxi will reveal after taking off the mask of hypocrisy.

Bai Yinmei also smelled the stickiness in the air, his pupils tightened, his breathing became short of breath, and his body slipped quietly behind Jun Fengxi.

If he dares to be unfavorable to Si Niangzi——

The flow of time has almost come to a standstill, and every tiny knock caused by the wind blowing through the bead curtains fell into their ears like thunder, and they just looked at each other silently, until Jun Fengxi burst into a sudden smile.

He smiled cheerfully, leaning forward and backward, if the atmosphere was not too blunt, his smile could even be called the voice of pearls and jade.

However, the dry and haggard air eventually squeezed his joyful laughter into shrill sound waves. When the laughter stopped, his eyes were covered with a layer of despair.

"... Yes, the flowers I like are never planted in the garden. I... In the end, I am just a loser. I can't keep it... I lose it again and again... The moment within reach is missed again and again... But it's really strange, the memory that I thought I didn't dare to look back at again, was torn apart by you, and I didn't... didn't feel pain at all. Could it be that people are really so forgetful, that... just forgot the kind of viscera. The pain of being soaked in corpse water after all the internal organs are strangled?"

He said dejectedly, with pain in swallowing in his wooden tone.

"Maybe, I'm not as infatuated as I thought."

With a wry smile, he raised his head and said sincerely to Li Ci, "Thank you for letting me see my true face."

An inexplicable conversation, at least, Li Ci wanted to attribute Jun Fengxi's answer to inexplicable perfunctory, but when she met his gaze, she——

backed off.

The soft eyes that are always rippling with autumn water are full of indelible sorrow, and even the consistent smile is covered with bitterness.

"...I... seem to have done a very cruel thing... I hope you can forgive me..."

"I won't forgive you. Because—"

Hesitating on the tip of his tongue, after a long moment like half a century, he smiled tactfully and said, "You have done nothing wrong. Let's continue the topic just now. The King of Wei and the Queen Mother finally recalled General Ye to the capital. Put him back easily. But I promised you I'd never let you get hurt, so—"

"Appreciate further details."
