Chapter 80: birthmark

After putting out the river lantern, Xie Yan stood up.
In the distance, the river banks are brightly lit and the people are full of excitement.
She originally wanted to take Yan Yu to guess the lantern riddle, but without taking a few steps, she stopped suddenly. I don't know if it is an illusion, I always feel that I have a vision to follow them.
But if you think about it, it's unlikely that they will stand in the dark and be inconspicuous. Who will see it?
I thought she was thinking about it. She stood at the intersection of the lake and the street, and inadvertently looked up at the second floor of a tea shop, and she really met her sharp eyes.
The tea shop is located on the street, and there are crowds of people at the door. The storyteller invited the storyteller on the first floor. The second floor is a separate elegant room, the loft is exquisite, and the jade is carved. It is not a place where ordinary people come and go. She saw the man sitting by the window, and two guards stood behind him. The man smiled slightly at her and said hello.
Grand Prince?
Xie Yan did not expect to meet here, after a mistake, a kind of uncomfortableness gradually poured into her heart.
Not to mention ... she subconsciously disliked Yan Yan.
Yan Yu noticed her abnormality and looked up following her sight. After seeing the man in the attic, her face remained unchanged, but the fist placed under the sleeve tightened secretly.
Pedestrians in the street stopped in front of them, and soon the prince's guard stepped down from the tea shop and came to them and asked, "Ping Wang invited the Sixth Hall to sit downstairs."
The great prince Yan Xuan was ruled by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty at the age of eighteen, and now lives in the palace of Pingwang outside the palace. The "peace" granted to him by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was full of deep meanings, probably to make him calm and live a peaceful life. However, the Emperor Yuan Hui always did not understand his own children, Yan Yan was the eldest son born of the former queen, how could he be willing to be a mediocre prince?
At present, the Emperor Yuan Hui is mentally fragile, and he is less than abdicated. Once he has any condition in his body, I am afraid that it will be the day when Yan Xie rebelled.
His strength is now on par with that of Prince Edward, while Yan Yu is valued by Emperor Yuan Hui and holds 200,000 soldiers in the border. If Yan Yu could be accepted by his Majesty, it would definitely be more powerful, and he could have a victory or defeat with the Prince.
It's a pity that Yanyu is a prince.
He tried every way to win over Yan Yu, but he still failed.
Yan Yu is different from others and there are some contradictions that cannot be resolved. He wanted to buy Yan Yu, it was not that simple.
Yan Yu paused, but refused: "The prince is unwell. Please tell your elder brother that we are preparing to return to our house and we will not go up."
The guard straightened up, glanced at Xie Yi, immediately nodded, and turned back to obituary.
Xie Yuan stared at the direction he left, until the guard went upstairs and returned to the eldest prince, who raised the tea cup and shook his head sadly before they left.
Xie Yuan saw his unhappiness, and asked after walking away: "What kind of person is the great prince?"
They stopped under a bridge, and lanterns drifted past them. Yan Yu said: "The king of Ping is fierce and complicated, and you better respect him."
He is not called Big Brother Yan Yan, but King Ping.
There seems to be other implications.
Xie Yan nodded, seemingly understand.
At the same time, several familiar figures stood on the opposite shore.
Today in Shangyuan, Leng Shi asked Xie Rong to take Xie Xuan to walk around the street, and then he picked some beautiful lanterns to bring back. For the time when Xie Liqing went to sacrifice ginger, up and down the house were more depressing. Leng's distressed the children, so they deliberately let them relax on the street.
Xie Xing doesn't like lanterns. She likes candy people selling on the street.
Xie Rong asked the sugar seller to draw a zodiac sign of Xie Xing, paid him, and took her everywhere on the shore.
There are many lanterns under the tree in front. There are red lines on the tree. Under each red line is a sachet with embroidered branches. There are half a poem written in the sachet. The tree is full of sachets, but there is only one pair in the last sentence. If anyone can get a pair with another person, it is a god-given fate.
Therefore, many girls and teenagers stood under the tree, and they took off the sachets with great hope, looking for their own destiny.
Neither Xie Xun nor Xie Rong were interested. One was too small and the other felt unreliable. They were about to go around the tree and walk forward, but they heard a sound from behind--
"Seven girls!"
Xie Xun bit the candy man and turned around. Among the many people, he saw Princess He Yi standing in a bright place.
She wore a large-sleeved blouse with a fragrant autumn color and a wide red-breasted brocade skirt, covered with gold-colored flowers and satin cranes all over the same color, wearing a beaded pearl, bright and beautiful. Xie Xun saw that there was a girl beside her, who was the same height as her, combing the flying fairy, wearing the eight treasure tourmaline Ruyi, wearing a gold-woven light red silk reel, tied a colorful goose yellow brocade skirt, slender, and exquisite, Originally, it was very eye-catching, but because of a pendant silk hanging on the face, blocking half of the face, only a pair of clear eyes and a pair of willow leaf eyebrows were exposed.
She followed Princess He Yi looking to this side, the glance of the microwave flowing, the wind moving the moon, even more fascinating.
Xie Xun did not have a deep friendship with Princess He Yi, and when they came to them, she smiled wryly, "Do you also come to the lantern festival?"
Yan Yaoan nodded, but his eyes fell on Xie Rong, who had always been straight and generous, and she didn't dare to look at it. She quickly looked away and said to Xie Xun, "Yes, I originally wanted my sixth brother to bring me. But he didn't agree, so I had to come out myself. "
Only at this time of the year would the Emperor Yuan Hui allow her to leave the palace once.
Speaking, Yan Yaoan introduced the girls around them, "This is Gu Ruyi, the fourth daughter of the Cabinet's assistant Gu University scholar." Then he introduced the two to Gu Girl, "Ruyi, this is the government of Dingguo. Second Master and Miss Seven. "
Gu Ruyi looked at the two and smiled.
Even if you know it, Yan Yaoan is an acute child. Before you can say a few words, you can see the marriage tree with sachets at the back. "What is it?"
Xie Xingfang only heard the girl who passed by, so this would explain, "A sachet is hanging on the tree, and poems are written in the sachet. If two people's verses can be paired together, it is a fate."
Yan Yao'an listened, and immediately came to her interest, and went forward with Gu Ruyi, "Let's go and see!"
Without taking two steps, I saw Xie Xun and Xie Rong standing still. After thinking about it, they went back and took Xie Xun together. "Come here too."
Xie Xun would not refuse, so he had to follow.
She turned to Xie Rong for help, Xie Rong really followed.
A few people stood under the tree, and the one below was already picked by almost everyone. Yan Yaoan was enough to reach the top one. She was not convinced, so the guard behind her helped her pick it off. She didn't open it and encouraged Gu Ruyi to pick a sachet.
Gu Ruyi picked the one closest to her.
The two opened together, and Yan Yao'an's note in lower case wrote: "What do you think of Yurong? A spring snow plum plum, full of fragrant mist clusters of morning glow." Looking at Ruyi again, it was a simple sentence. "I hope people last."
Yan Yaoan turned his notes over and over, looking distressed: "What's the meaning of this sentence? How well you understand it, I hope people will last for a long time, a thousand miles away!"
Gu Ruyi narrowed her eyes with a smile and comforted her: "It's just a fun, why take it seriously."
She thought about it, and she was relieved, but turned to see that Xie Rong also had a sachet in her hand, and immediately rekindled hope: "What did Master Xie Er write?"
Xie Rong folded his notes as usual and put them in his sleeves. "It's just a poem."
Yan Yaoan pouted in disappointment, if only he could make a pair with him.
She turned to speak to Gu Ruyi. Gu Ruyi stood at the glorious lights, her face was quiet, her head frowning, her head turned to smile slightly at her, and her surroundings were gorgeous. Xie Rong retracted his eyes, just as Xie Xun also took part in the excitement, dragged a sachet from the tree, came to him to unravel mysteriously, and whispered out: "... I look back, but the man is in the dark place ?what."
Xie Rong rubbed her head and took her elsewhere.
After walking a few steps, I saw Yan Yu and Xie Yun coming across. Xie Xun suddenly forgot the note and shouted from a distance: "Sister!"
Xie Yuan and Yan Yu originally planned to return to their homes, but they did not expect to meet them.
"Axe, brother!"
It is inevitable that there will be many words when the sisters meet.
Wu Ze and Wu Bin found a tea house nearby. The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the elegant room. Elegant facilities are neat and tidy, with elegance everywhere, which is a good place to speak.
There are no outsiders anyway, so don't worry so much.
There is a small Zhu Qi Nanmu table in the elegant room, which can seat eight people each. Xie Xun and Yan Yu originally sat on the side. Xie Xun wanted to sit with Xie Xuan and squeezed Yan Yu aside. Yan Yu was on one side, opposite Xie Rong, and Yan Yaoan and Gu Ruyi on the right.
Yan Yu looked at Xie Yuan, his face was not very good.
But there is nothing to do with it, you can't drive Axue away ... Xie Yi smiled back, pretending that she didn't understand anything.
He hummed softly and put the two faces in his hands on the table.
Yan Yao'an wow surprised and took it in his hand and looked left and right, "It really looks like this, especially this one is exactly like my sixth brother's face!"
The folks in the shop have tea and snacks one after another. The tea is Tieguanyin, which is newly added this fall. The tea is rich in flavor and the tea soup is crystal clear. Before you can import it, you can smell a mellow fragrance. There are a variety of dim sums one after another. In addition to tea, the dim sum here is also excellent. Although not as good as Babaozhai, it is also ranked in the capital.
Dude put down a piece of pastry, there are jujube yam cake, fried lotus cake and hibiscus cake ... Xie Xun pouted, the first one took a jujube yam cake and the jujube filling was sweet and full. It was a little hot just after it was out of the oven, and she took a careful sip and gave one to everyone here.
Yan Yu managed to finish Xie Yi's bag of silk candy with sweet taste in his mouth. At present, he has no interest in these things. He just took a look and drank tea by himself.
Xie Yuan has never seen Gu Ruyi before, and asked Yan Yaoan in confusion: "This is it?"
Yan Yaoan again introduced: "This is Ruyi, the Cabinet Chief assists the four daughters of the University Scholar."
Xie Yan smiled and nodded at her, "I am ..."
Yan Yaoan interjected, "She is my sixth uncle!"
Xie Xun gave a slight meal, revealing shame.
Gu Ruyi is not like other rich and precious people. She looks very approachable. She smiles and adds two points of intimacy. "I have seen the six princesses in the house of General Qianqi."
Have they met?
Xie Yan was a little embarrassed. "That time Axu fell into the water, I didn't pay attention to the surroundings, I didn't remember meeting with the girl Gu Si ..."
Gu Ruyi shook her head so that she didn't need to mind, "I just met from a distance and didn't say hello to you. You don't remember what it should be."
She said that she was smiling with a pair of winks, and she could see the smile on her face, seeing through the tulle.
Xie Xun realized that she was wearing a veil from beginning to end. If she could still make sense outside and didn't want outsiders to see it, why didn't she take it off when she was inside? She was puzzled, and Gu Ruyi probably realized that she was puzzled. She just smiled slightly, lowered her head, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
No explanation was given.
After discovering the strangeness, Xie Xun noticed her involuntarily.
She didn't remove the veil from beginning to end. Originally, Xie Yan wanted to see if she would take off the veil when eating snacks. The clinker didn't even touch the snacks on the table. She always sat there squarely, occasionally. Say a word or two with them.
If she also wore a veil on the day of her general's birthday, it could explain why Xie Yan had no impression of her.
It took about half an hour to drink tea and snacks. Looking at the weather outside, the second shift had already passed, and the gates would be closed before going back. Yan Yao'an was still reluctant to leave. Countless times he wanted to steal the note from Xie Rong's sleeve, but Xie Rong found it and had to take back his hand.
The group walked down the stairs and Xie Yi turned around, and saw that she made a face at Xie Rong, but Xie Rong ignored her and calmly walked her way.
Yan Yaoan stared at his back, but he was not angry.
Xie Yuan seemed to understand something, and turned his head calmly, pretending that he didn't see anything.
Isn't Princess He Yi thinking of her brother ... But the elder brother is going to go to Jiang in the beginning of spring. I do n’t know when he will be back, and Yan Yaoan is the favorite princess of Yuan Hui Emperor.
The eldest brother and the crown this year, at the age of saying pro, Xie Ye has never known what kind of girl he likes, always feel that he is faint about everything.
If it is Princess He Yi ... Xie Xie shook her head and asked herself not to think too much, what if she misunderstood? After all, Yan Yaoan had a carefree temper to everyone.
Out of the tea house, a pedestrian stopped by the road.
Yan Yu and Xie Yun returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Rong and Xie Xuan returned to the Dingguo Mansion, which happened to be the same as Gu Ruyi, while Yan Yaoan returned to the palace by himself.
It was late, and she was afraid that the road would be unsafe. Xie Ye wanted Gu Ruyi to go with her brother Axue, but she thanked Xie Ye for her kindness and said that her carriage had come, so she said goodbye to everyone. Gu's carriage stopped at the entrance of the tea house. She helped her girl's hand to step on the pedal, but suddenly a drunk man bumped at her by the side of the road.
Gu Ruyi was frightened and hid aside.
The drunk man took advantage of the wine and took care of Ruyi and Aya, and took off the tulle on her face with a wave, and smiled and said, "Little beauty ..."
The words didn't fall. After seeing her face, her face changed greatly, she stood still, scolded, and left.
Gu Ruyi stood still, her tulle fell to the ground, her body trembled slightly, her eyes reddish.
Xie Yan and Xie Xun also stayed.
Her skin was snowy, and Joan's nose was beautiful, but she had a birthmark under her eyes. The birthmark is not big, but it is enough to affect the beauty of the entire face, the color is deep red, and it is particularly eye-catching under the colorful lanterns. The maid of the Gu family stomped angrily, yelling at the back of the drunk man. She turned around, bent over, picked up the tulle on the ground, put it on her face again, blinked the sourness in her eyes, and smiled softly to the wind. They said, "I was born with a birthmark on my face. I was scared to scare you, so I have been wearing a veil. I hope you don't mind."
Xie Yan repeatedly waved his hand and said no, "Gu girl is so out of sight ..."
She didn't finish talking, but she saw her elder brother disappeared.
After a while, the drunk man who offended Gu Ruyi was brought back by Xie Rong with swollen eyes and swollen eyes, kneeling in front of Gu Ruyi and hoeing to admit his mistake, "It's a villain, a lot of adults, forgive me this time ..."
Repeatedly nodded several times.
Gu Ruyi glanced at Xie Rong gratefully, without saying much, took the skirt onto the carriage and drove towards the house.
After several people left, Xie Yuan and Yan Yu boarded the carriage back to their homes.
Thinking of the scene she just saw, she regretted holding her chin, "Girl Gu is so beautiful, what kind of beauty would she be without the birthmark on her face ..."
Yan Yu sat aside and listened to it all the way ten times.
Why is she so concerned about other people's faces? Wouldn't it be more focused on him?
Yan Yu didn't say a word, she continued to chatter: "Brother Xiaoyu, do you think there can be a cure for this birthmark? Is there a secret recipe in the palace?"
He glanced at her and said he didn't know.
She sighed in discouragement, and finally stopped talking about the subject.
The carriage was driving on the street, and most of the shops on the side of the road were closed, and there were only some lanterns in front of them. The whole street is peaceful and quiet, in stark contrast to the noise of the genius. A silver-plated moon hangs in the sky, and horseshoes step on the street, making a clear snoring sound.
Before long, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Yan Yu asked the driver outside: "What's going on?"
The coachman said, "Back to Your Highness, it seems that the carriage is broken."
He frowned slightly.
After a while, Wu Ze, who was sitting with him, said: "His Royal Highness will be here for a while, and he will borrow a carriage elsewhere."
Xie Yan sat in the car and asked uneasily, "How can it be good?"
Yan Yu asked her to wait in the car, and he went down to see.
It turned out that the tenon that was fixed to the car's body was broken, and the carriage could no longer walk, and had to temporarily stop at the roadside.
After Yan Yu watched it, she lifted the curtain and re-entered the carriage. "Yes……"
Seeing this, he suddenly became cold.
The carriage was empty, Fang Zai, who was still sitting here, was gone. 2k novel reading network
