Too Reckless

Chapter 40: Fiancee and Aunt Wu

The white crane was very fast, and after a little distraction, he came to the sky above Donghua City, which was full of flowers.

Looking down from the top, the capital is divided into countless pieces of tofu of different sizes, and Linhefang is at the corner. In order to avoid disturbing the people, the white crane flew very high, Zuo Lingquan squinted and looked carefully, only to find the swaying wine flag on the riverside street.

I thought I couldn't see Tang Jingshen, but after searching carefully, I saw a figure busy going back and forth in the courtyard behind the restaurant. It's just that he flew so high, obviously he couldn't say hello, and before he looked carefully, Bai He came to the Great Dan Imperial City.

The white crane flew to Fuyan Palace with familiarity, and fell into the garden outside the palace; after a palace maid found it, she quickly ran into the palace, thinking that it was going to report.

Zuo Lingquan had never been in the imperial palace. Looking down from the sky, the imperial city was square, and he couldn't tell which was which. He was watching the buildings of the imperial city on the white crane, and before the white crane landed, he saw a woman in a red dress running out from under the eaves of the palace.

Holding a wooden box in her hand, the woman ran to the garden and started beckoning, saying crisply, "Auntie!" She looked like a girl who hadn't seen her mother for a long time.

Zuo Lingquan stuck his head out and waved:

"your Highness!"

"Um?"

Standing in the garden, Jiang Yi raised her eyes to see Zuo Lingquan above. She was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, her smile faded, and she regained the calm appearance that the eldest princess should have.

She was about to ask, "Why are you here?", but she immediately thought of something more important and waved her hand:

"Wait! Auntie, this is my bedroom, how can you bring him in?"

"Ling Quan is your future concubine. Isn't it normal to bring him here?"

The corners of Wu Qingwan's eyes were full of smiles. After the white crane fell, it landed in the garden. She looked up at Jiang Yi's lips and nodded:

"Safflower nectar, Ling Quan gave it to you yesterday, right? It's so beautiful."

When Jiang Yi saw Zuo Lingquan's eyes, she naturally wouldn't admit it:

"He gave a box yesterday, and I threw it to Leng Zhu. There is too much rouge in the palace, and all the maids are in charge of it. I never pay attention to this."

Leng Zhu respectfully stood behind her, and secretly muttered, 'Princess, you don't want me, how dare I take a box of rouge...', but she never dared to say this, she just gave the future master a sensible message. wink.

Zuo Lingquan got down from Baihe's back. He understood the eyes of the future maid, and didn't care about Jiang Yi's death. He came to the front and looked at the wooden box in her hand:

"His Royal Highness, is this from Jing Terrace?"

"Looking at the box, it should be, let's go inside and talk."

Wu Qingwan was familiar with the door and the road, took the wooden box over, and led the two of them to the bedroom.

Jiang Yi thought that Auntie wanted to check it by herself, so she handed over the box, but unexpectedly, Auntie turned around and gave it to Zuo Lingquan.

Jiang Yi wanted to say something, but facing her aunt who was like a teacher and mother, she was still much gentler than usual, just squinted Zuo Lingquan, then put her arms around Wu Qingwan's arm and looked at her skirt:

"Auntie, your dress is so beautiful, it fits well and is decent. I can't help but be envious of your immortal air."

Wu Qingwan also squinted at Zuo Lingquan, but didn't say who sent it, just smiled softly.

The two women are more than 20 years apart in age, but Jiang Yi's temperament pretends to be intellectual, and the little girl's green pheasant has long been lost;

Standing together, the two were not far apart in height and had the same long hair and shawls. They looked like sisters and mother and daughter.

The only obvious difference is that Wu Qingwan has a more mature and mature figure, soft as water, while Jiang Yi is slightly tall and slender, with a bit of youthful agility and vigor.

The two backs walked slowly, the waist was as light as a willow, and the hip line was swaying. The charm of the gesture alone was enough to make it difficult for a man to look away.

However, Zuo Lingquan walked behind the two of them and didn't really notice the beautiful scenery in front of him. He just flipped through the jade plaque in the wooden box, picked up the letter and glanced at it again.

The paper is not ordinary paper, it feels very good to the touch, and it is a bit cold, and he can't see the texture. The content of the letter is quite simple - at the end of the year, the nine sects exchanged students, and asked Da Danchao to send the three people to the Jingtai Terrace.

After reading a letter, the three of them also entered the tea pavilion in the dormitory. The tea pavilion was very spacious and elegantly decorated, with some ornaments placed around it.

Jiang Yi did not greet Zuo Lingquan, took Wu Qingwan's arm, pulled Wu Qingwan to a soft seat, and began to discuss business affairs:

"Stunning Terrace gave three places to all the disciples of Xihuang Valley. It's hard to convince the crowd. How do you think I should choose?"

Wu Qingwan sat sideways on the carved brocade couch. She didn't answer, but patted her side first:

"Ling Quan, sit down too."

Zuo Lingquan knew Jiang Yi's temperament, but he was not interested in hitting the muzzle, so he sat down on the chair next to the tea table and poured tea for Wu Qingwan.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips, made a "somewhat winking" look, and continued to ask Wu Qingwan's arm.

Wu Qingwan came here specially for this matter. After reading the letter, she thought about it:

"The meaning of sending it to the imperial city is already obvious. If you want the Qihuang Valley to be monopolized, you can directly send it to the Qihuang Valley. The good fortune is not easy to come by, and it must be fair to make it public and let the Great Dan Dynasty meet the conditions. The people who are here should rush to the capital as soon as possible. As for how to choose, it's enough to fight one game, everyone is convinced."

Jiang Yi also thought of this method. She asked Wu Qingwan to come over to communicate, but she just said hello in advance, so as not to worry about Xihuanggu, she nodded immediately:

"Then it's settled. Everyone will arrive before the end of the month, and it won't be too late, lest none of them go."

The Great Dan Dynasty was not a big country, but two thousand miles from east to west and one thousand miles from north to south, the territory was not too small.

After Zuo Lingquan poured a cup of tea for his fiancee and Aunt Wu, he said, "It's February 20th today, will it be too urgent?"

Jiang Yi took the teacup, but it was not easy to ignore Zuo Lingquan, so she explained: "People in cultivation, without the consciousness of 'only fighting for the day and the night', how can you be one step ahead on the road of longevity? Can you enter the inner door of the nine sects? Fortunate fate, let alone ten days, give one day, and the monks below can find ways to run from Qinghe County, thousands of miles away, to the capital, and don’t have to worry about them.”

Zuo Lingquan thought about it too, stopped interjecting, quietly listened to the two women, and talked about the details of the selection.

Wu Qingwan came over to discuss things, and brought Zuo Lingquan along by the way, in order to create some time for the future couple to spend time together. After talking about the main business, she put down the teacup, got up and said:

"Jiang Yi, I'm going to go shopping at your mother's old house. Let's talk first."

After speaking, Wu Qingwan gave Zuo Lingquan an inexplicable wink.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi was a little dazed when she saw this, and wanted to go with her, but Wu Qingwan signaled her to entertain guests with her eyes. When she went out, she took Leng Zhu and other palace maids out.

In an instant, in the spacious and pure tea pavilion, there were only two men and women left.

After Aunt Qingwan left, Zuo Lingquan became a little more generous, leaned on the chair, and looked at Jiang Yi's lips.

When Jiang Yi waited for her aunt to leave, she also took on the usual eldest princess appearance. She leaned on her side and slumped softly. She used the lid to pick up the tea leaves in the cup. When she noticed Zuo Lingquan's gaze, she squinted:

"What are you looking at?"

"Yes, this lip gloss is quite suitable for a princess."

Jiang Yi snorted softly and looked at the reflection in the teacup:

"Don't be sentimental, I have a lot of rouge, and I don't use your box."

There is Leng Zhu's eyes to tip off the news, Zuo Lingquan has long been aware of it, and he can't tell if he sees it through:

"Since the princess is not short of rouge, next time I will bring the princess a roast chicken from the royal family."

Jiang Yi's expression condensed slightly, then she raised her eyes and smiled disdainfully:

"Bengong has never been tired of eating fines and delicates since he was a child, can he eat that kind of food in the market?"

"Senior Wu said."

"..."

Jiang Yi's expression froze, and she secretly said: "Why is my aunt talking to this fellow...she's heart turned abruptly, and she shook her head and said:

"That was when I was a child, and I don't like to eat it now. Also, you can buy whatever your aunt asks you to buy. You are a big man, and you can't make up your own mind?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he took out the wooden box in his arms and put it on the tea table.

?

Jiang Yi opened her mouth, feeling that she was being led away by Zuo Lingquan. She glanced at the wooden box, didn't ask what it was, didn't say yes or no, just pretended she didn't see it, and talked about something else:

"This time, you are very greedy for recruiting disciples on the terrace. Unfortunately, it is useless to be greedy. If you don't ask, I will go with my aunt, and it will never be your turn..."

Zuo Lingquan naturally didn't mind this kind of small ridicule, after all, everyone couldn't go. He leaned back in his chair and asked:

"When the princess returns to the throne, she will continue to practice, right?"

"That's natural. Ben Palace is very talented. It's just been abandoned in recent years. I still want to go outside to see it. By the way, what's wrong with your meridians? Gong is in the class of immortals, still young and beautiful, but you have become an old man in the seventies and eighties, and when the time comes, we will meet each other... alas~"

Jiang Yi showed pity, sighed softly, picked up the teacup and sipped.

It's just that Zuo Lingquan didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness when he heard this. Instead, his mind moved slightly, and he replied:

"When the time comes, when they meet each other, it will be 'the eighteen bride, the eighty man, with pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are covered in two nights, and a pear tree is pressed against a begonia.'"

"Pfft--cough-cough-cough..."

Jiang Yi spit out a sip of tea, her chest trembling and she almost choked to death. She raised her cheeks and stared at Zuo Lingquan in disbelief, wondering if she wanted to scold "stinky shameless" or praise her good writing.

Zuo Lingquan took a handkerchief from the soft side, handed it to Jiang Yi, and joked:

"I heard it from the market before. If it's true as the princess said, it's not a waste of life for a man to live to that extent."

Jiang Yi was so choked that she didn't speak for a long time. She grabbed the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips before she said solemnly:

"Even if you and I get married, we are still a secular husband and wife. If I become a fairy, do you think I'll still remember you? Also, 'a pear blossom pressing a begonia', sho...you think so beautifully."

Zuo Lingquan raised the corners of his mouth: "Since the immortals are forever separated from each other, why did the princess come back to see me when I was in my seventies and eighties?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback for a moment and felt that her logic was a bit unreasonable, but she was just joking, and she couldn't take it seriously, so she continued:

"Can't I fall into the ground when I come back? When you're bedridden, I'll walk in front of you, and then say, 'This palace has to live for hundreds of years, why did you fall into the ground right away?', I promise you won't be so angry come out."

Zuo Lingquan imagined the scene and shook his head:

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be angry. When you die, it is better to have someone by your side than to die alone."

"Cut~ I don't believe it. You dream of longevity, and you will be mad at that time..."

When Jiang Yi said this, she seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Zuo Lingquan again:

"Cultivation is difficult, and this palace may not be able to live for hundreds of years. If one day, you take great luck and cultivate the avenue, I am still a little princess in the world, and my lifespan is not more than a thousand years, what will you do?"

Jiang Yi obviously didn't ask casually, and secretly noticed Zuo Lingquan's expression in his eyes.

Zuo Lingquan's answer did not hesitate at all:

"Walking around in front of the princess, and then saying, 'You'll be buried in the ground soon, I have to live for hundreds of years, alas~ I'm really worried about myself'..."

Snapped--

Jiang Yi slammed the tea table, took a deep breath, and almost opened the button of her clothes, which made people jump.

She glared at Zuo Lingquan and wanted to say, "You are ruthless and heartless", but Zuo Lingquan's words were her original words just now.

Jiang Yi held back her anger for a long time, and said coldly:

"Well, let's live longer than anyone else, and see who will be boiled to death first."

This should also be considered a disguised 'together with white heads'. Zuo Lingquan did not reject this necessarily long competition, and nodded with a smile.

The two talked mindlessly for a long time, and Wu Qingwan came back from outside, seeing that it was late, and said goodbye to Jiang Yi.

Zuo Lingquan also got up and left, and returned to the capital. It was impossible not to go to the third uncle's house, so he did not turn back with Wu Qingwan, and was led out of the imperial city on foot by the palace maid.

Jiang Yi watched the white crane take off. After the two of them left, she turned around and returned to the tea pavilion~www.wuxiahere.com~ and focused on the tea table.

"It's positive to be diligent. I thought you really didn't want to be the concubine of this palace, hum..."

Jiang Yi strolled to the tea table, took a look at the wooden box, opened it, and took out the small pendant inside.

The pendant is carved from the green bamboo of Xihuang Valley. It is polished very smoothly. The shape is just an ordinary oval, and there is not much to be proud of.

"The craftsmanship is okay."

Jiang Yi rubbed the pendant with her fingertips, nodded slightly, and noticed that there was something engraved on one side, so she turned it over and glanced - the small pendant was engraved with a micro-engraved picture, which was very delicately carved. The scene was the one where the two met for the first time. The back alleys are also the starting point for changing the trajectory of their lives.

In the picture, a handsome man in a robe is leaning against the wall with a scabbard in his hand; a woman is lying on the man's lap, with a perfect lower circumference...

"Um???"

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly widened, her eyes were full of astonishment, and she was stunned on the spot.

clap clap-

The picture seems to have sound, and the burning sensation has returned.

The unbearable memories and humiliation of the past flooded into my mind.

……

"Are you convinced..."

"me……"

……

"This bastard! I... Ben Gong can't beat you to death! The surnamed Zuo, come back to Ben Gong!"

Jiang Yi's face was flushed, and her chest was about to explode with anger. She rolled up the sleeves of her palace skirt, and held the pendant to look around, as if she was looking for a weapon that was in her hand, but she forgot the culprit and left the palace long ago...
