Flowers are expensive

Chapter 398 Sister Zhuang Will Detour 1
Bingcan silently took a sip from his wine glass, nodded his head lightly, and said nothing else.Yin Luo sipped half of the glass in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Stinky tofu with grape wine, this taste is quite fresh! A wild game snack, and a tribute royal product, the two go together, the taste is unexpected It's so long, it's very refreshing, what do you think, brother Bingcan?"

"It's okay." Bingcan uttered these two words while bowing his head to pick up the vegetables.

"It's good enough for you to say it's okay. By the way, Brother Bingcan, is Miss Zhuang living in the palace now?"

"Ah."

"You and Miss Zhuang are really reunited?"

"It hasn't been broken, how can it be reunited?"

"Oh," Yin Luo said with a smile, "I was wrong. Don't mind me. I'm just curious. I want to know more about you and Lord You, nothing else. I mean, I just think that in the future I will have to live under your noses, and I will have to rely on..."

"Your Majesty," Bing Can interrupted her, "You are a concubine, and I dare not take the word of relying on you. It is Yuan Yin and my ministers who serve you and live in peace and contentment, as well as the entire Jingyou City." It is the important task of the common people. You just need to calm down and meditate, and Yuan Yin and Weichen will take care of your mother."

Yin Luo sighed lightly, put down his chopsticks and said, "Speaking of my concubine's status, I always feel like a joke. Brother Bingcan, don't you think so?"

"Don't dare."

"Are you also laughing at me in your heart? Laughing at me for doing it myself and seeking my own death?" Yin Luo turned slightly dewy eyes to look at Bing Can and asked.

Bingcan still lowered his eyebrows, and replied while drinking: "The past is the past, what are you still thinking about?"

"The past? Isn't Brother Bingcan the most nostalgic? If not, why do you still think about that Miss Zhuang after all these years?"

"The humble minister is humble and dare not compare with the empress."

"Heh!" Yin Luo laughed softly, "What a humble minister, self-deprecating, doesn't look like your Lord Bingcan. Who doesn't know that there is a ten-faced Yan Luo Zhao Yuanyin in Jingyou City , and beside Zhao Yuanyin, there is a resourceful and cold as a city defense officer, Mr. Bing Can, who lives up to his name. Now that you are being so polite to me, do you intend to alienate me, or do you have doubts about me since I returned to Jingyou City?"

Bingcan drank the grape wine in the glass glass in one gulp, and said: "It doesn't matter if you are alienated or suspicious, the empress has no evil in her heart, she will be safe, why bother?"

"Bingcan brother," Yin Luo looked at him disappointedly and said, "you and Zhao Yuanyin really doubt me, right? You think I came out of the backyard of the deep palace, so you are more wary of me Xin, don’t you? But don’t forget, when I was serving the late emperor in the palace, I also delivered news to your Prince You’s residence, if I really wanted to harm Prince You’s residence, how could I do that?”

"I never said you would harm Prince You's Mansion..."

"But you clearly think so in your heart!" Yin Luo stared at Bing Can with a pair of beautiful eyes and said angrily, "If not, why are you so alienated and polite to me, and you can't even compare with the friendship of a friend! I just became a concubine, not a prince, why did you guard me so much?"

As she spoke, her pupils dimmed, and two clear tears rolled down her face, looking extremely pitiful.Bingcan glanced at her, turned his head slightly, twirled his fingers around the rim of the glazed glass a few times, and said, "Why are you doing this? No one said what to do to you, you are too worried."

With tears in her eyes, she sobbed softly: "Can you not be worried? I was worried every day in the palace. Now I go home and think that I can catch up with my good friends from the past. Who knows that it is a cold reception. Originally After losing this concubine, I even want to die, if it is not for the glory of the Yin family, I really want to end myself with a cup of Crane Crown Red. Forget it, how can you understand what I have suffered in my heart?"

Bingcan didn't answer, poured another half glass of grape wine, swirled the glass and drank it in one gulp.Both were silent, one was drinking and the other was weeping sullenly.After a while, Yin Luo stopped crying, got up and walked to Bing Can's table, took the glazed jug beside him and poured Bing Can a glass of wine, squatted down in front of him, and said with tears shining: "Bingcan brother, I don't have any friends in this city, but I can trust you. I have nothing else to ask for, but I want to live here peacefully. When I return home alone, I will inevitably feel worried and afraid , I don’t know how to live in the future. I don’t expect you to take care of me, but I just want to seek the protection of Prince You’s Mansion so that I can live a more stable life, can you?”

Bingcan raised his eyelids and glanced at her, shook his wine glass and said: "I said, if you have no evil thoughts in your heart, Prince You Palace will protect you."

"It's been a long time to see people's hearts, do you want to say this?" Yin Luo nodded slowly, "I understand, I feel at ease with your words. Which side is my Yin Luo's heart facing? We will find out in the future. It’s rare for you and me to get together today, so don’t be stingy with your drink, come, let me toast you.”

The atmosphere eased a little.After Yin Luo toasted Bingcan for two cups, he chatted about other things.Halfway through the banquet, Yin Luo suddenly came to Yaxing, ordered Ping'er to fetch the guqin she had brought into the palace, and played "Guangling San".

The melodious and frustrating sound of the piano drifted out from the hall, as if a dark night fragrance had sneaked out of the auspicious incense burner, making people quiet.Yin Luo is good at playing the qin, which can be described as a masterpiece, and he was quite liked by the late emperor when he was in the palace.

Such a quiet night, such sound of zither, lingering fragrance of smoke, delicious food and wine, it seems that everything is temporarily quiet in the sound of zither, and no one dares to go in and disturb it.

Outside the hall through the air door, Ping'er said to Zhuang Yunxian who had just arrived: "Your Majesty is playing the piano, the slaves dare not disturb you, Miss Zhuang please wait for a while."

Zhuang Yunxian stared at the door darkly, and asked, "How long will it take?"

"The servant doesn't know either. Otherwise, the servant will lead the girl to take a rest. After the maid finishes playing the piano, the servant will report."

"Listening to your mother playing the piano is also one of the official duties?"

Ping'er smiled subtly and said: "Your Majesty and Mr. Bingcan are old friends, so why not use the piano to make friends? Miss Zhuang is overthinking!"

"Really?" Zhuang Yunxian glanced at Ping'er coldly and asked, "What if I insist on breaking in right now?"

"Miss Zhuang, please respect yourself," Ping'er said with a smile still on her face, "If you forcefully barge in, the servants will stop you according to the rules. Hitting the concubine is not a small crime."

"Murdering the concubine is not a small crime, is it?" Zhuang Yunxian asked disdainfully.

"Miss Zhuang, don't forget that you are from Prince You's Mansion. Please consider your own words about murdering the concubine, and don't cause unnecessary trouble to Prince You's Mansion."

"Hmph! You really know how to put on airs! All right," Zhuang Yunxian said, "I'll just wait here! "Guangling San" is a big song, and your mother may not be able to play it all in a while!"

Ping'er smiled and asked, "Miss Zhuang also knows how to play the piano?"

"What's the matter? Can your mother know it? I'm surprised. In the middle of the night, your mother is playing an ancient war song. What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep at night?"

"Maybe Master Bingcan likes to listen to it! Master Bingcan is a military commander, so he naturally likes songs with passionate fighting spirit. Your Majesty is just following what she likes."

"Really?" Zhuang Yunxian suppressed the anger in her heart, leaned against the wooden pillar next to her, and said with a sneer, "That would have wronged your empress! A majestic concubine wants to be favored by a city defense officer!"

If Liang Xixi hadn't spoken first, Zhuang Yunxian reckoned that she was really going to rush in!Listening to the sound of the piano, the more I listened to it, the less it looked like an ancient war song, and more like a ecstasy!Her old man's fiery temper was suppressed again and again, but fortunately he suppressed it for the time being.

After a while, Yin Luo's piano sound stopped.She opened her eyes, exhaled slowly, and asked Bingcan with a sideways smile: "Brother Bingcan, do you still like this song "Guangling San"?"

"It's okay." Master Bingcan's patience is excellent, even if you play it, it's just what you listen to.

Yin Luo got up and said with a smile: "Brother Bingcan can also learn to play the piano in his spare time. This thing can make people calm and refresh. What else do you want to listen to? Why don't you let me play "Questions and Answers for Fishermen and Woodcutters" to make people feel more relaxed .”

When Bing Can was about to answer, Ping'er pushed the door open and entered, and after paying respects, he said: "Madam, a Miss Zhuang has come to Prince You's residence, Zhenghou is outside the door."

When Yin Luo heard this, all the excitement just now disappeared, and he frowned and asked lightly: "Is this Miss Zhuang? How long have you been here?"

"It's been a while, the empress is playing the piano, the slaves dare not disturb her, do you want to summon her?"

Yin Luo glanced at Bingcan, and ordered: "Please come in!"

"Yes!"

Yin Luo was a little disappointed, lowered his head and straightened his sleeves casually, and said, "Brother Bingcan, Miss Zhuang, is she worried about you?"

Bingcan could have expected that Zhuang Yunxian would come to Yin's mansion, but what he didn't expect was that his own Xian'er obediently waited outside for a while without kicking the door.When Zhuang Yunxian entered the hall, she squinted at Bingcan with dissatisfaction.Bingcan got up and walked over to ask: "Is there anything going on in the mansion?"

"It's nothing, the wind and the sea are calm! Here, things," Zhuang Yunxian shook a small brocade box she had been carrying in her hand, put it next to the Guqin, and said in a displeased tone, "I brought something for Madam You. Mrs. You heard that the concubine has not rested yet, she is still staying up all night to make the blueprints for the reconstruction of the Jingyin Temple. Don't work too hard, in the middle of the night, be careful not to get sick!"

Yin Luo was very dissatisfied with her sarcastic tone, but in front of Bing Can, she still smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. You really bothered me, please trouble Ms. Zhuang to thank her for me, see you tomorrow Thank her face to face. Ping'er, take this thing and bring two boxes of cardamom warm incense. Miss Zhuang came back to my house after a trip at night, how can I tell her to go back empty-handed..."

"No need," Zhuang Yunxian interrupted Yin Luo coldly, "I'm here to give something, not to ask for a reward. Your reward should be given to those who please you! Don't bother you and Lord Bingcan Late at night, enjoy caramel soup together, and the fellow practitioners have drawn the piano score, so let's go first!"

"Presumptuous!" Ping'er standing next to Yin Luo shouted softly, "Miss Zhuang, you should know some etiquette anyway? Didn't you even learn this bit of etiquette in Prince You's Mansion? You can't be polite when you see the concubine. Your Majesty has already forgiven you, but you are so self-righteous, you really don't care about the late Emperor!"

Zhuang Yunxian turned around, glanced at Yin Luo contemptuously and said, "If I'm really presumptuous, does the concubine think that you can finish playing the passionate "Guangling San" just now? It's the middle of the night, and the empress is really in good spirits. To be able to express the sadness of parting, you are indeed a concubine who came out of the palace!"

Yin Luo lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, as if he didn't intend to interrupt.But Ping'er next to him said angrily: "When the late emperor was here, he praised your mother for her outstanding piano skills. No one in the palace can match her, and she gave her the reputation of a piano fairy. How could it be Miss Zhuang? Ordinary people can understand?"

"Really?" Zhuang Yunxian glanced sideways at Bingcan, and said with a sneer, "It turns out that Lord Bingcan is not an ordinary person, he can understand the sounds of nature! Could it be that he is a god? How disrespectful you are! Immortal, a god, I came at a really bad time!"

"Miss Zhuang," Ping'er said seriously, "How can you let your nonsense talk in front of your empress? Your empress is the concubine of the former emperor. If you disrespect her, you are disrespecting the former emperor! Disrespecting the former emperor is disrespecting the current emperor. Disrespect! Even if you are from Prince You's Mansion, you must not come here so presumptuously! Your Majesty—" she knelt down to Yin Luo as she spoke, "Please give me an order to punish this crazy person, otherwise what will happen to the previous emperor? live?"
