Chapter 34 Linglong Terrace
Since Zong Si is discussing marriage, it is estimated that they will not meet recently. Unless it endangers Prince Xuan's palace, it is not as important as this. His mind now has to be on marriage.
Ning Fu thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave a letter for the prince. Please ask Sister Fu to give it to him."
The matter of Yu Furong could not be settled in one go, but when doing things for others, attitude was the key. Even if it was not done, she had to let Zong Si see that she had tried her best.
Just like today, I took the initiative to come to him to discuss the matter of Yu Furong. If he was not here, even if something went wrong, it could not be blamed on her.
Fu Jiahui looked at her for a moment and said, "Come with me."
Nymph followed her into a dark room.
"Fourth Miss, please go in." Fu Jiahui said.
Nymph had to be a little wary of unfamiliar places.
Fu Jiahui guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile, "We have a guest today, it's not good for him to see the fourth lady, fourth lady, don't worry, this is where the prince talks, so it's not convenient for me to go in. You can write the letter and put it on the desk."
Guests from afar?
Fu Jiahui deliberately sent her away, probably because she didn't want her to run into the guest. Either the man's identity needed to be kept secret, or she was familiar with the man.
Nymph collected her thoughts, pushed the door open, and listened carefully. The sound of flowing water seemed to come from above her head.
This dark room is actually underwater.
This shows that the river above our heads must be an artificial river. It is easy to build a dark room first and then clear the channel, but the opposite is almost impossible.
Also, since most artificial rivers were built in imperial palaces and official residences, it was probably Prince Xuan's palace that was above his head.
Ningfu couldn't help but be shocked. Although building a dark room was not new, it was rare to see one that was so ingenious and well hidden. Even if it was used to store food and grass, it could be done without anyone noticing.
To put it bluntly, this seems to be a preparation for treason and rebellion.
Ning Fu couldn't understand why Zong Si asked her to come here, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
However, if she knew that Zong Si had already deduced her identity in her previous life, she would guess that his actions were just a test of how much she knew about her previous life.
On the desk were placed the calligraphy and paintings that Zong Si had seen, which were almost spotless. Ning Fu inferred that he had been here recently.
The writing brush and ink were on the side. After Ning Fu left the letter, she saw the poetry collection on the desk. It was the poetry collection she gave to him as a gift to express her gratitude for saving his life when he fell into the water and was reborn.
The pages of the book are quite old, probably because they are read from time to time.
Ning Fu thought that she had made the right choice in giving the gift, and that her generosity was worth it. She herself also thought that the collection of poems was good, but because she had been giving it to him, she had not had the time to appreciate it carefully.
When I saw it, I opened it and took a look.
But just one glance made Nymph blush. That was not a collection of poems, but clearly the treasure her mother had prepared for her marriage. The man in it was sturdy and strong, while the woman was delicate and charming. The two of them were entangled in a loving relationship, and every page was full of extravagance.
Ning Fu felt as if she was struck by lightning. No wonder Zong Si missed her so much before.
After calming down, Ning Fu couldn't help but feel that Zong Si was a bit of a sultry person. What he did certainly wasn't accidental, and the fact that the album appeared here was obviously intentional.
Now that he was getting engaged, he couldn't keep the album with him any longer. He had to return it to its original owner. If he kept it here, he would let her take it away.
And if he was taken away quietly like this, no one would have to feel embarrassed, and it could be as if nothing had happened.
Although this meant returning the album to her, the album was too large and had wrinkles that showed he had flipped through it many times. Nymph couldn't help but feel a hint of teasing and arousal.
Nymph wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She was filled with mixed emotions and took the album away, only hoping that Zong Si would keep his mouth shut about this matter.
…
Some people who loved to pry into information got wind of the marriage between Prince Xuan's Mansion and Duke Qing's Mansion that day.
"Fourth sister, I just heard my aunt chatting with Aunt Mu, and I heard that the marriage of the prince and Sister Xie is approaching?" Ning He asked when she came to Ning Fu to borrow books on the second day.
Although everyone knew that this was a done deal, when the day finally came, people still began to wonder.
"Probably," said Nymph. She knew no more than anyone else.
Ning He remembered what her aunt had said. A man like the prince, even if he got married, would still have restless women around him. Even if he wanted to be his concubine, there would be many daughters of noble families willing to take her as their mistress.
However, Sister Xie's status is so high that no one can threaten her. Prince Xuan's Mansion will protect her, and Princess Xuan will not allow anyone to try to get past her.
"Now that Sister Xie's marriage is settled, they will keep an eye on you." Ning He said happily. Her sister is also very popular now.
Even the ladies around her talked about the fourth sister's plan and wanted to find out information for their brothers.
Ningfu, however, had no time to worry about these things. Her romantic affairs were not within her consideration now.
She didn't keep Ning He for long. After disguising herself at night, she took Dongzhu out of the house.
Although Linglong Terrace was a place of fireworks, it was heavily guarded. It was not easy to cause trouble there, so Ning Fu did not have to worry about her safety. Moreover, it was impossible for Zong Si not to have spies around her. If there was any danger, there would be people to protect her.
Linglong Terrace was built against the mountain, and most of the people who came in and out were officials and nobles. Most of the women were from good families. They only accompanied people to drink, and there was no need for them to commit themselves to men unless they were willing.
Although he accidentally entered the land of fireworks, he still had a clean and pure heart, so it was named Linglongtai.
This time, she came using the identity that Doctor Mu had prepared for her, the name of the young master of the Su family in Bianzhou.
As soon as she gave her name, a woman came to greet her on stage with a smile, "The man hasn't arrived yet, you have to wait for a while, the young master is so handsome, do you want me to accompany you?"
Of course, Doctor Mu was there, but he was probably secretly observing her to see if she had any ill intentions.
Nymph stroked her fan gently and pretended to be in deep thought, "I don't understand the matter of seeking pleasure, please don't embarrass me, sister."
The woman smiled even more: "I understand, it's ok if you want a man."
This is because they think she likes men. Ning Fu pondered for a moment. Since she came to this exquisite platform, if she didn't have someone to accompany her, it would arouse suspicion. So she said, "Find someone who can pour tea and is taller."
"Murong, come out and serve the young master." The woman clapped her hands.
But in a moment, Ning Fu saw a tall and straight man walking out. Although he was wearing a mask, he had an extraordinary demeanor, was as tall and slender as a canopy, and as cold as jade, making people unable to help but take a second look at him.
"Sir, you'd better send them back. Otherwise, Madam will blame you when you get back home." Dongzhu said worriedly.
The man glanced at Dongzhu and sat down next to Nymph.
"You are one of the most outstanding young masters, right?" Ning Fu guessed in her heart. The woman just now was probably the manager here. She promoted these expensive young masters to maintain the livelihood of Linglongtai.
Murong poured tea for her but said nothing.
"I didn't bring enough money today, I'm afraid it's only enough to pay for you for half an hour." Nymph thought for a moment and then said, "But you are very pretty. If you come again next time, I will pay for you."
This was not the only time I met Doctor Mu. I fell in love with someone here and was bewitched by him. It would be reasonable for me to come here often in the future. It would not be difficult to act accordingly.
Murong said calmly, "Sir, are you here to do business or to have fun?"
Nymph lifted his chin with the handle of her fan and said with a smile, "Of course I am doing business, but when I meet someone as amazing as you, it's okay to just have some fun."
The man was wearing a mask, so Nymph couldn't see his narrowed eyes or the sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth.
If he took off the mask, Nymph would be able to recognize that this man was clearly the cold-faced and ruthless Sosaburo Souji.
Zong Si came along today to gather information, but he didn't want to attract too much attention. Besides, Doctor Mu certainly wouldn't trust the people Ning Fu brought with her, so he disguised himself as someone from Linglongtai and hid by Ning Fu's side, which was safer.
"How do you want to entertain me, sir?" he asked calmly.
The handle of the nymph's fan gently stroked his Adam's apple and accidentally slid a little into his tight collar.
Sure enough, although he remained calm, his Adam's apple rolled slightly twice.
This kind of pretending to be serious and cold is indeed much more interesting than the one who rushes towards you.
"Can I have fun however I want?" Nymph said with a smile.
