Chapter 201 Sister Wen, the demons in your house are dancing wildly and I can’t stand it anymore
In front of the bamboo forest.
Wen Yueyin said in a delicate voice, "I've heard that Prince Chen is well versed in music. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you by showing off my skills in front of an expert on that piece of music just now."
These words were just humble words. The piece she just played was the best one she had ever played.
She wanted to use the song to impress Chen Yushi, make him realize that she was much better than Wen Xingluo, and preferably ask the Zhenbei Palace to change the marriage partner to her.
Chen Yushi laughed twice, "Miss Wen, there's no need to be so modest."
Her attitude was distant and polite, which made Wen Yueyin somewhat dissatisfied.
So she took two steps forward and said, "My sister Xingluo also wanted to learn the qin when she was little, but she was clumsy and couldn't even memorize all the music. When Prince Chen and my sister spend time together and talk about music, does it feel like playing the qin to a cow?"
Chen Yushi's smile grew colder. "Miss Wen, describing your own sister like this might seem harsh."
Xie Guanlan played with a bamboo stick expressionlessly.
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as this.
He sent Chen Yushi to Wen Yueyin, but she didn't even know how to seduce a man and only talked about trivial things.
He glanced a little distance away.
Behind Chen Yushi, Xie Shian was leading his grandmother towards this side. When he noticed his gaze, he made a gesture that everything was going well.
He averted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Why are you two so unfamiliar? I remember last year at Ciyun Temple, Miss Wen insisted on sharing a cat with Prince Chen. Later, when you twisted your foot while playing shuttlecock, it was Prince Chen who carried you to the doctor. So you two can be considered... to have had some physical contact."
Skin-to-skin contact...
Wen Yueyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a blessing came to his mind.
She covered her heart and suddenly fell weakly into Chen Yushi's arms.
She raised her head weakly and looked at Chen Yushi with tears in her eyes. "My heart suddenly hurts. Can Master Chen rub it for me?"
She is so beautiful, charming and innocent.
During this period of time, in order to conquer the Zhenbei Palace and prevent Wen Xingluo from outdoing her, she studied popular stories day and night. Now she is proficient in hundreds of methods of fighting, framing, vying for favor and power in the harem.
No man in the world can refuse her!
At this moment, Xie Shian suddenly shouted from behind them, "Well, Chen Yushi, you're actually here to hook up with another woman behind Ningning's back! Grandmother, look at him! He's a playboy and a fickle man. He's not worthy of marrying our Ningning! I declare this marriage off!"
Chen Yushi straightened the girl in his arms and looked at Xie Guanlan deeply.
Xie Guanlan curled his thin lips and smiled at her.
He had a very good appearance, but his features were as cold and desolate as a barren mountain and cold water, like a seductive ghost among peonies on a spring night, hiding beneath his gorgeous appearance a vicious ambition to devour people.
He targeted her because of Wen Xingluo.
Chen Yushi was not annoyed, but found it very interesting.
It is rumored that the Southwestern Military Commander appears to be courteous and polite but is actually aloof and cold-hearted, with no interest in anything other than fighting on the battlefield.
Now it seems that is not entirely true.
She turned to the old concubine and saluted gracefully, "Mrs. Concubine."
"You still have the nerve to salute my grandmother?!" Xie Shian folded his arms arrogantly, "Get out of the Zhenbei Palace right now, or don't blame me for hitting you!"
"Mrs. Dowager," Chen Yushi ignored Xie Shian, "things are not as you see them."
Xie Shian rolled his eyes. "I saw it clearly, how could it not be what we saw?! Look at him, Grandmother, not only is he looking for women outside, he's also sweet-talking! This kind of playboy is the most unreliable. Ningning must not marry him!"
"What's your business? Why are you meddling in this?"
The old concubine was so angry that she hit him aside with her crutch.
She looked at Chen Yushi and said lovingly, "I believe you."
Chen Yushi has always been known as a virtuous person in Guanzhong.
He has grown up without any concubines or maids around him.
He was born gentle and elegant with a good temper. Over the years, countless girls threw themselves at him, but he politely rejected them all.
Who would believe him now that he is having an affair with a woman?
This is word of mouth!
Xie Shian held his head and cried aggrievedly, "Brother!"
Xie Guanlan watched Chen Yushi and the old concubine leave together.
After walking a distance, Chen Yushi suddenly turned around and sneered at him.
Chen Yushi was provoking him.
A cold and dangerous chill suddenly burst out from Xie Guanlan's body.
"It's summer already," Xie Shian rubbed his arm, "Why is it so cold?"
The next evening.
The old concubine and Mrs. Xue wanted to cultivate the relationship between Wen Xingluo and Chen Yushi, so they specially arranged for the two to take a boat trip on the lake.
Xie Shian sat sprawled on the armchair, "Why are you going to the lake on such a hot day? Ningning, listen to me, don't go!"
The old concubine glared at him and pretended to hit him with her cane.
Xie Shian was so frightened that he sat up. Seeing that he couldn't change the old man's mind, he changed his tone and said, "It's so dangerous to go on a boat trip on the lake. Ningning, I'll go with you!"
With him around, Chen Yushi can't even think of falling in love with Ningning!
"What are you doing?!" The old concubine glared at him angrily, "How long has it been since you went to the military camp instead of doing serious work?!"
"Isn't this a big thing at home..."
Xie Shian muttered, but he didn't dare to talk back to the old man. He rolled his eyes and went to inform Xie Guanlan.
There is a small lake in the back garden of Zhenbei Palace, with many lotus leaves planted. Now the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and it is a good time to appreciate the lotus.
The small boat passes lightly between the lotus leaves.
The golden sun sets in the west, and the evening light is dyed into fresh and mottled emerald green by the lotus leaves. Wen Xingluo sits at the stern of the boat, and the hem of her soft cyan and gold gauze skirt drapes down on the wooden board. She rolls up her sleeves and leans forward, the emerald hairpin on the edge of her bun sways, and her red and tender hands draw a long ripple on the water.
Chen Yushi sat at the bow, playing the qin, a helpless smile on his face. "Your eldest brother has quite a few complaints about me, even resorting to honey traps. I see that look in his eyes, he wants to eat me alive. I don't know if I'll live to see the day I marry you."
Wen Xingluo picked a red lotus, but was preoccupied and didn't respond.
Suddenly, beautiful singing came from the pavilion in the center of the lake not far away.
Wen Xingluo looked up.
The boat gradually approached the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Wen Yueyin was wearing an apricot-red dress and had two freshly picked lotus flowers pinned to her hair. She was singing along with Chen Yushi's melodious music.
"And your sister..." Chen Yushi pressed the strings of his zither with a headache, lowering his eyes to avoid eye contact with Wen Yueyin. "She has been throwing herself at me repeatedly these past two days, but I can't bear to say harsh words to a girl, so I just keep avoiding her. Sister Wen, there are so many demons running rampant in your mansion, I can't handle it anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yueyin had already walked out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake and called out in a delicate voice, "Brother Yushi, was my singing good just now? Can I go on a boat ride with you to admire the lotus flowers?"
Chen Yushi raised his hand to cover the upper half of his face, pretending not to hear her acting coquettishly, and ordered the boatman to row faster.
Wen Yueyin stomped her feet in embarrassment and anger.
She couldn't bear to see Wen Xingluo having such a good life, so she simply followed the winding stone bridge outside the pavilion in the center of the lake to chase Ye Pianzhou, "Brother Yu Shi, did you hear what they were saying? Brother Yu Shi!"
She was so anxious that she slipped and fell into the lake with a "splash"!
Men and women should not touch each other.
Although Chen Yushi didn't like Wen Yueyin, for her reputation's sake, she still said to the boatman who was about to go into the water to rescue people, "Let me do it."
She was a good swimmer and quickly picked up Wen Yueyin and helped her climb onto the stone bridge.
Wen Xingluo also climbed onto the stone bridge.
She glanced at the faint oil stain on the side of the bridge and looked towards Canglang Pavilion.
In the tallest building of the palace, a young man in red clothes and jade belt stood with his hands behind his back.
