7. Chapter 7
There were as many as seven or eight daughters in Liang Shangshu's family. In addition, the ladies brought by wives from each family, before the banquet began, the entire back garden was fat and thin, and the people were as beautiful as flowers. Beside the garden, by the rockery, and on the wooden bridge, there were beautiful women.
Tang Yu sat in the pavilion and spoke to his familiar partners. The Jingning Marquis's situation among the nobles is quite special. He is both the empress dowager and is valued by the regent. However, it is a matter of men who are more sensitive. The girls have little thoughts and like personality, so Tang Yu will not talk to each other when he goes out.
"Alin, I heard that you bumped into His Highness Duan on the way. Did you see him?"
Not far away, several ladies surrounded Tang Lin and talked in a silence.
Tang Yu turned his eyes to him.
Tang Lin nodded with a blushing face, "I saw it, the prince is generous and didn't bother with us."
When Tang Yu heard this, he stared at his half-sister's face and frowned.
Why is my sister blushing? When Song Qin was in front of me, my sister shivered and didn't dare to raise her head. Now, when she mentioned Song Qin, why is she not afraid at all, but she looks like she mentioned her lover? Is her sister likes Song Qin? But, doesn't my sister like Wei Zhao? She has to stick to Wei Zhao whenever she has the chance?
The ladies also saw Tang Lin's thoughts and became more curious, urging her to describe the appearance of King Duan.
Tang Lin recalled carefully, and once she recalled, she was destined to be enlightened.
She was indeed a little moved by Song Qin.
She had heard of the deeds of King Duan, and thought that Song Qin was a murderer who was like a murderer, but she didn't expect that he was so outstanding, handsome and unparalleled, with a noble and arrogant identity... Compared with Song Qin, Wei Zhao was like an ordinary star next to the moon, and could not compete with him at all. What surprised Tang Lin the most was that the ruthless regent in the rumor center did not punish them. So besides his father's contribution, is there any possibility that Song Qin could not bear to punish such a beautiful woman like her?
Alas, it would be great if Song Qin wasn't that cold, so cold that she didn't dare to look at him too much.
He described Song Qin's appearance absent-mindedly, and Tang Lin's mind was full of Song Qin's tall back as he turned and left, hoping to see him again.
Because she knew that Song Qin was in Shangshu Mansion, Tang Lin couldn't help but start to pay attention to the movements and movements everywhere in the garden. Her hard work paid off. Not long after, she really caught a glimpse of an impressive figure. She walked behind the bushes of flowers and trees, looming, heading towards the bamboo forest in the distance, and soon disappeared.
Tang Lin looked around and saw that no one else noticed her. She pursed her lips and stood up with her zipper.
Seeing that the second girl was about to leave, Molan coughed gently.
Tang Yu received the secret code and smiled with the girl Liu family next to him. He looked at Tang Lin inadvertently, and asked in surprise: "Where are you going to sister?"
What Tang Lin is most annoying about her elder sister is that no matter where she is visiting, she always stares at her like a thief, as if she will cause trouble. At this time, she was stopped by her elder sister again. Tang Lin secretly swallowed her stomach and pointed to a corner of the garden close to the bamboo forest with a smile: "I want to go there to enjoy the flowers."
Tang Yu nodded and ordered Mo Lan, "You go with the second girl. When you see someone you like, pick one for me. I'm lazy to leave."
Mo Lan said aloud and walked to Tang Lin with a smile.
Tang Lin was furious, but she still left with her chin raised and took her maid Hongxing.
With Mo Lan following him, Tang Yu felt relieved and continued to chat with Miss Liu.
After about a cup of tea, Tang Yu looked over there and happened to see Hongxing hid behind the flowers holding Molan. Tang Lin took advantage of this gap and quietly ran towards the bamboo forest. His figure was covered by trees and it was difficult to detect if he didn't look closely. Tang Yu lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. When he looked up, his face was calm and he said to Miss Liu with a smile: "You sit first, I'll see what flowers there are there. My sister has been watching for so long but still can't bear to come back."
Miss Liu turned her head and looked at Hongxing. She didn't know what Mo Lan was talking about there, but she didn't see Tang Lin. She thought she might be squatting to appreciate the flowers.
Tang Yu walked over slowly.
Molan was dragged by Hongxing and did not dare to make a big noise to throw away the girl. When she saw the girl coming, she was so angry that she beat Hongxing hard, "Girl, she..."
"I'll give you a cup of tea, and I'll come back immediately after chasing the second girl, otherwise I'll sell you when I go home." Tang Yu looked at Hongxing with a calm face.
Hongxing was finally scared and hurriedly wanted to kneel down, "Grand girl, I can't help it. The second girl forced me to do this!"
Tang Yu didn't even look at her, "Molan, you count the time."
Molan scathed and said "Oh" with gloating.
Hongxing panicked and hurriedly chased Tang Lin.
Tang Yu stared at the figure of Tang Lin vaguely seen in the bamboo forest, thought for a while, and said to Mo Lan: "You are waiting here. If someone asks, we will say that we have picked flowers and dirty our hands and went to the lake to wash our hands."
Mo Lan was a little worried that she would act alone. Tang Yu raised her chin to Hongxing, who had not yet run away, "I'll follow her, it's okay."
Molan was relieved.
Tang Yu quickly chased Hongxing, confident that Hongxing would be able to block Tang Lin soon. All she had to do was scold Tang Lin for coming back.
Just thinking simple, after walking into the bamboo forest, Tang Yu accidentally tripped. When she raised her head again, Hong Xing was missing in front of her! Hong Xing was wearing a green dress. Tang Yu carefully identified it and suddenly found that bamboo was shaking in the northwest direction. Tang Yu did not doubt that he was there, so he quickly turned toward the other side.
However, I kept chasing until the place where the bamboo was shaking just now, but there was still no accents.
The bamboo forest is quiet and there is no one around. Tang Yu looked back and saw that he was almost unable to see the roadside.
Looking ahead, there was no movement at all, and Tang Yu suddenly felt like he was being stared at.
She was scared and decided not to care about Tang Lin. Finally, she glanced around and turned around.
After taking a step, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from behind him. It was very light and Tang Yu's heart suddenly raised it and turned back in shock.
Bamboo leaves trembled and fell one after another. Opposite the bamboo forest was a man wearing a round-necked ink robe embroidered python with cold face and black eyes staring at her without any emotion. "I just entered the bamboo forest, so you followed him and said, what is your intention to follow me?"
Tang Yu really wants to sneer, who wants to follow him?
But she did not have the courage to sneer at Song Qin. She saluted Song Qin first and lowered her eyes and explained: "The prince misunderstood. My sister just came to the bamboo forest to enjoy the scenery for a long time. I was worried that she was lost, so I came to search for it. My daughter didn't know that the prince was here, and she didn't dare to follow the prince."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Song Qin walked over step by step.
Tang Yu stepped back vigilantly. Seeing Song Qin speeding up, Tang Yu was afraid, so he mustered up the courage to stop and looked straight into Song Qin's eyes, "How can the prince believe it?"
"It depends on how you explain it." Song Qin forced her to face with cold eyes, "Why do you follow me?"
He was so close that Tang Yu smelled the cold breath on his body. He was not used to being so close to a man with an outsider. She continued to retreat, but only raised her foot. Song Qin suddenly took action. Tang Yu could instinctively turn his head to the side, but she was not as fast as Song Qin dodged. The man's cool fingers tightly held her chin, turned back to her head strongly and domineeringly, forcing her to look at him.
Tang Yu was forced to raise his head and faced Song Qin's faint eyes like an interrogation of the prisoner, "Say."
The hands are colder and the eyes are even colder.
The first time he was flirted by a man, Tang Yu's anger defeated his fear and stared at him coldly: "Your Majesty, my daughter once heard from my father praise His Highness for his bravery to kill the enemy. He is the prince of my Great Qi. He is definitely not a person who teases the good women. I ask the prince to let go, and the daughter Majesty will explain."
"Why is Jingning Hou saying this?" Song Qin not only did not let go, but instead increased her strength slightly and lifted her chin higher. "Did he tell you that I hate others to call me the most? Explain first, if I believe it, I will let it go."
His fingers didn't move, as if he didn't feel the skin that was more delicate and shiny than beautiful jade, as if he was really just interrogating.
How can Tang Yu explain? I can only repeat that she is here to find her sister.
Song Qin sneered, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I will give you another last chance and dare to argue. I will take you back to the house for questioning."
To be honest, he didn't believe it, and insisted on her telling the truth. Tang Yu was so angry that his chest was fluttering, but he was afraid that Song Qin would do what he said.
There was no way, Tang Yu said the last in anger, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not hiding it from the prince, my sister on the road was fortunate to see the prince's heroic figure... She was young and ignorant, and seemed to have an unscrupulous thought about her highness. She just walked here sneakily, and my maid also said that she seemed to see you. I was afraid that my sister would run into her highness again, so I followed her. Unexpectedly, she didn't stop her and ran into her. "
Should Mr. Song Qin believe this?
Her eyes were lowered, and Song Qin's eyes fell on her lips, beautiful and full. His fingertips were itchy inexplicably, and he believed in her heart, and he still messed up his mouth, insisting on making her anxious. Seeing that she had lost her usual calmness and dignity, "I have come to the bamboo forest for a long time, and from beginning to end, I only saw you follow you. Could it be that you who admired me? I was knocked out by me, so you were ashamed to admit it and deliberately framed your sister?"
He thought too much, and was ridiculous and arrogant. Tang Yu couldn't help but sneer and looked up at him: "The prince is a high-ranking, powerful, and handsome. He is indeed the one whom many noble girls like. But his ministers are self-aware and only have awe of the prince, and he dare not have any admiration. He also asks the prince to let him go with ten thousand hearts."
"Fengshen handsome?" Song Qin's eyes gradually faded away, and she repeated her last words softly.
Tang Yu said that just for satirical purposes. Now that Song Qin has repeated it softly, it seems that she really praised him.
She wanted to explain, but when she raised her eyes, she met Song Qin's eyes with a faint smile.
Tang Yu was stunned. She was familiar with this kind of laughter. Wei Zhao often looked at her like this, and it was full of teasing.
Wei Zhao teased her, Tang Yu was both annoyed and embarrassed. Now that she realized that Song Qin was teasing her, Tang Yu felt disgusted.
Forgot about the prince and his superiority, Tang Yu slapped the man's hand away and left angrily.
Song Qin did not chase after him, and looked at the girl's back as she fled in a hurry, and felt better than ever before.
