281 , Cuiyu Shuangshu
When night fell, Jun Wuhuan came to the princess's mansion to pick up people in person, and saw a handsome young man in white clothes walking out of the side door of the princess' mansion. Jun Wuhuan was stunned and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Chu Ling looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Doesn't it look like?"
Jun Wuhuan looked carefully and said, "Very good."
It's really good. Although Chu Ling's disguise is not a clever trick, it is still quite acceptable. The places that should be covered are covered, and she looks like a little delicate young man. However, her behavior is absolutely not as delicate as a woman. Outsiders will only regard her as young as she is not yet fully grown, so she looks so delicate. If she lowers her voice, she will never think that this is the most beautiful and beautiful princess of the God Blessing.
Since Cuiyuxuan is known as the three famous buildings in Pingjing, it naturally has its confidence.
Cuiyuxuan is at the junction of Pingjing's inner city and outer city. The surrounding alleys are the most lively place in Pingjing's nights, which is the legendary Flower Street. Cuiyuxuan is in the middle of the most lively street. Outside Cuiyuxuan is a three-story building, and behind the small building is a large garden, which occupies half of the length of half of the street with great wealth. It is said that the scenery of Cuiyuxuan's back garden can also be ranked among the top ten in Pingjing, so it is beautiful not only people but also scenery.
There are two courtesans in Cuiyuxuan Town Building, one is called Cuiyue and the other is called Suyu. Pingjing's elegant literati called Cuiyu Shuangshu. Many literati and scholars spent a lot of money to meet the two, and many people wrote poems and essays for them to praise their beauty and talent, which attracted more people to flock to them. In the past two years, the first courtesan of Yuxianglou was vaguely overwhelmed by Yujiao. Prince Anxin and Prince Boning chose such a place for Tuoba Yin to practice, which was considered a lot of thought.
It was Chu Ling's first time to come to the fireworks place in Pingjing, and he was inevitably curious. It has to be said that compared to the Northern Jin Dynasty, even the fireworks place in Tianqi seemed more elegant. As soon as he walked into Cuiyuxuan, someone came to greet him. It was not as good as the image of a madam Chu Ling had originally imagined, he was a beautiful middle-aged woman. Although her makeup was gorgeous and her clothes looked a little thinner than that of an ordinary woman, it was rare that people only felt enthusiastic, generous, charming, and were not at all dissolute and dissolute in the dusty land.
He was pretentious and flattering to the guests. Chu Ling only glanced at the guests sitting in the lobby and understood that if this Cuiyuxuan had probably been in the nature of a high-level club in his previous life, he would probably have been in the nature of a high-ranking club. Those who could come in were all figures with status and would never entertain some vulgar lower-level figures. The place naturally deserves the elegance and serenity of these big figures. As for whether these big figures can still retain their human skin in private, it is their own business, at least not being shown outside.
"This is the first time for two young men to come. The building is so bright that it is so bright. Please come in there." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
Jun Wuhuan took out two posts and handed them over. The woman immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that it is the distinguished guest of Prince Anxin. You are also invited to have tea in the backyard." As he said that, he wanted to personally lead the two of them to the backyard. The guests in the lobby were curious about the sacred young men who could personally lead the boss's wife, but everyone is smart and knows that they are extraordinary and naturally they will not come over for no reason to cause displeasure.
Cui Yuxuan’s back garden is indeed very good. Although it was night at this time, it was still bright lights like daytime. As soon as he walked into the garden, Chu Ling smelled a faint fragrance of flowers. The elegant fragrance only made people feel refreshed. Chu Ling said: "It smells so good, I wonder what flowers did my wife plant in this garden?"
The woman smiled a little deeper because of Chu Ling's wife's smile and said, "My name is Bai Wanmei. If you don't dislike me, you will be like Meimei. The garden is planted with the night bell fragrance from southern Xinjiang. Although this flower is not outstanding, it is rare to have a good fragrance and is always blooming all year round. Please see, this is it."
Chu Ling looked in the direction of her fingers and saw that there were many flowers that looked like lily of the valley in the corner of the flower garden, but they were a little smaller than lily of the valley. They were light blue under the faint firelight, which looked a bit unparalleled, but they were very compatible with this garden.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "So that's it, Madam is kind-hearted."
Mei Niang smiled and said, "It is worth it to be able to enter the young master's eyes."
Mei Niang led the two of them all the way to the depths of the garden, and soon arrived at an outside of a water pavilion. The eaves outside the water pavilion were covered with red lanterns, the lake water was quiet, surrounded by rockery, the rockery and the willows were swaying on the shore, and the breeze was gushing, which was a quiet and elegant scene.
The melodious sound of the piano came from the water pavilion. Although Chu Ling was not good at musical instruments, he could also hear that the person who played the piano was good.
Mei Niang smiled and said, "The two princes will arrive immediately, and I will not send you two young masters. If you have any needs, just ask the ones to serve."
Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mei Niang."
Mei Niang bowed to the two of them and said to her and said goodbye.
Chu Ling looked at her back and raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's said that since ancient times, strange women have emerged, and it's true. This eyebrows girl... doesn't look like an ordinary person." Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "How can ordinary people manage this Cuiyuxuan? What's more... Where can ordinary women find Ye Lingxiang, which is not available even in southern Xinjiang?"
Chu Ling thought with interest and said with a smile: "Let's go in first, I don't know if Tuoba Yin has come."
Tuoba Yin had arrived and was sitting alone in a corner of the water pavilion to drink. Several guests had already arrived in the water pavilion. Some of Chu Ling knew some but didn't know them, but they looked elegant and were sitting on the side drinking and laughing. Although they were the guests invited by Prince Anxin and Prince Boning, it was obvious that Tuoba Yin could not tell them to go together, and they were not interested in chatting with Tuoba Yin.
A beautiful and elegant woman was sitting on the side playing the piano, and several dancers in the middle of the water pavilion were dancing. Unfortunately, the real guests at the normal banquet had never looked at them from beginning to end. Tuoba Yin leaned against the pillar of the water pavilion and was holding a wine pot in one hand, staring at the water surface in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing the footsteps, everyone quickly looked back and saw the two people standing at the door, and they couldn't help but be stunned. Jun Wuhuan and the others knew each other. His Majesty's future Shenyou Princess and Princesses was arguably the one who came to attend King Shen's practice banquet, but who was the boy in white was very eye-catching.
Tuoba Yin's eyes fell on Chu Ling, and he looked at him for a moment before retracting him. He obviously had recognized Chu Ling.
The two walked forward, and Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Why is His Highness Shen drinking here?"
Tuoba Yin frowned slightly and looked at Chu Ling. Jun Wu laughed and said, "This is Mr. Ling. I haven't seen such a place before, so I'll join in the fun together if I have the chance."
Chu Ling bowed with a smile and said, "Your Highness Chen, I'm lucky to meet you."
Tuoba Yin nodded slightly and said, "Good luckily, please sit down for two."
The two sat down next to Tuoba Yin. Several people not far away came to talk, but saw Tuoba Yin's expression of not entering the stranger.
No one disturbed me, and the three of them were happy to be quiet. Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered: "What did Prince Anxin think? Why did he choose such a place?"
Tuoba Yin shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know or was interested. He just asked, "When will Nangong Yuyue arrive in Pingjing?"
Jun Wuhuan said, "It will take two more days. Your Highness Chen, don't worry, your enemy is not him this time."
Tuoba Yin looked at him deeply and said, "There are two wonderful hands, but I can't tell who is a friend and who is an enemy." Chu Ling laughed in a low voice and said, "It doesn't matter if it is an enemy or a friend, what is important is... what is your Highness Chen wants. As long as you have the same goal, what if it is an enemy?"
Tuoba Yin said: "Thank you, Mr. Ling, for your advice."
Jun Wuhuan reached out and poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to Tuoba Yin and said, "I wish His Highness Chen will return to Beijing this time and have a smooth journey."
Tuoba Yin glanced at him, raised his glass and slapped him and drank it all, "Thank you."
Chu Ling looked at Tuoba Yin and pondered for a moment, saying, "Your Highness Chen, I wonder if I can give you a question?"
Tuoba Yin raised his eyebrows slightly and said to her, Chu Ling asked, "How much does this person Qin Shu... know about His Highness Chen?"
Tuoba Yin frowned slightly and said for a moment: "Qin Shu followed him to the Apocalypse?"
Chu Ling did not deny it, Tuoba Yin said: "If I were a princess, it would be better to be more careful about Qin Shu."
"Oh?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, Tuoba Yin gently stroked the edge of the wine glass in his hand, and said, "I heard that the princess and Qin Shu have some friendship, but... Qin Shu didn't know this person either, and we didn't know until he exposed himself. Not only that, Tuoba Liang also trusted him quite a lot. The princess should know that Tuoba Liang is not a rude person, but Qin Shu is a Western Qin hostage. The clan member, Tuoba Liang doesn't trust much, let alone a foreign clan. He has not even trusted his son-in-law." Even now, Tuoba Liang may not trust Baili Qinghong much.
Chu Ling leaned his head and thought, "So, if Tuoba Liang can trust Qin Shu, it must be that Qin Shu did something that could make Tuoba Liang completely believe him. Perhaps, there is more than one thing?"
Tuoba Yin nodded and said, "Since Qin Shu was exposed, my brother has been sending people to investigate him. Unfortunately, he has been staying peacefully in the villa for many years and can't find any results."
Chu Ling's heart was slightly sank. The more he did, the more he showed Qin Shu's power. How could Tuoba Liang trust someone for no reason?
For a moment, Chu Ling felt a little melancholy.
In the two or three years of the Clan, to be honest, Chu Ling and Qin Shu had a better relationship than Jun Wuhuan. After all, Jun Wuhuan was sensitive and had many things to do, so it was not convenient for the two to come into contact with each other frequently. However, Qin Shu was just a Western Qin host who was idle and had nothing to do. What's more, Jun Wuhuan always gave Chu Ling a sense of danger, but Qin Shu was much harmless in comparison. Unexpectedly, she even missed her eyes. Thinking of this, Chu Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Jun Wuhuan glanced at Chu Ling and gave her a comforting look. Chu Ling smiled faintly at him and said that he was fine.
Tuoba Yin looked at the expressions of the two, his eyes became a little deeper.
A moment later, Prince Anxin and Prince Boning came together. As soon as he entered the door, Prince Anxin apologized first, "I am late, please forgive me."
The guests sitting not far away talking stood up and said, "The prince is so serious."
Prince Anxin exchanged a few greetings with the people and came to them. Chu Ling looked at Prince Boning who was following him with curiosity. Prince Boning was obviously not very interested in such a banquet, and was also indifferent to the guests, and he was not as good as Prince Anxin's long-standing dance. At this time, Prince Anxin came over, he did not rush to come, but left to say a few words to the guests.
"Your Highness Chen, Mr. Changli, sorry for being late." Prince Anxin smiled and paused slightly when his eyes fell on Chu Ling, but he didn't say much, but said curiously: "Is this young master?" Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "This is Jun's friend, Mr. Ling. He just came from the north."
Prince Anxin smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Ling. It's really a young talent. Fortunately, I'll be lucky." I don't know where he saw that the young man in front of him was a talent. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Come on uninvited, please forgive me." Sure enough, seeing Chu Ling's voice with a clear northern accent, Prince Anxin smiled and said, "How could it be? Tonight was practiced for His Highness Chen, so the more lively the better. Look,... Mr. Ling and His Highness Chen also seem to know each other?" He saw this place at the first time when he came in. The young man talked to Tuoba Yin didn't look like he had just introduced by Jun Wuhuan.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "It turns out that he has met King Chen several times in the north. His Highness King Chen, right?"
Tuoba Yin glanced at Chu Ling and nodded lightly.
With Tuoba Yin as his protection, Prince Anxin believed in Chu Ling's identity more and enthusiastically invited the three of them to take their seats.
Originally, the guests in the Shuixixi were divided into two sides and the master has arrived, so we naturally have to take a seat together. Because of the face of Mr. Changli, Chu Ling also occupied a very good position, so he sat next to Tuoba Yin with Jun Wuhuan. The accompanying guests invited by Prince Anxin and the other two were all opposite each other, which had a clear meaning.
Prince Anxin raised his glass and smiled at everyone, "Tonight, I and Brother Boning specially held a banquet here for His Highness Chen to practice. It is also a honor for you to come here. Please do not restrain yourself. I am late just now, so I will drink a glass to apologize to you."
After saying that, he really raised his head and drank the wine he had passed by.
Everyone praised the prince for his good alcohol tolerance. Chu Ling sat next to Jun Wuhuan and looked at the guests opposite him, as well as the Prince Anxin and Prince Boning in the main seat. It seemed that Prince Boning was indeed very low-key and ordinary in the court. These guests were not the court officials who really held the power, but their attitude towards Prince Anxin and Prince Boning were very obvious. Prince Boning had a very good temper and did not show any intention of getting angry at all. He sat silently all the way along and drank with him. Chu Ling was a little curious. What was he doing in this way?
Prince Anxin smiled and looked at Tuoba Yin, who was sitting on the right hand, and said, "I have been here for many days since I came to Pingjing. I believe I have never experienced the stunning charm of Jiangnan. Tonight, I and Brother Boning specially invited the famous girl Cui Yue and Suyu from the capital to cheer you up. Let's take a look at His Highness Chen and Mr. Changli?"
Tuoba Yin did not answer, neither happy nor objected.
Jun Wuhuan glanced at Chu Ling and said with a smile: "The prince is thoughtful. I have entrusted the blessing of His Highness Chen to have such a blessing." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him with a smile, and said softly: "I also want to see how beautiful and charming this number of Pingjing stunning Cuiyu Ershu is."
Prince Anxin was very satisfied with the support of the two. If they were both as cold as Tuoba Yin, it would be a little embarrassed tonight.
"Young Master Ling will not disappoint you." Prince Anxin smiled and raised his hand and patted him gently twice. The woman who had been talking about love and singing stopped immediately, and then quietly retreated.
A moment later, the two women led a group of gorgeous women in their arms, and the other was holding Suqin. The woman holding the pipa with bright eyebrows and pink clothes, bright and charming. The woman holding Suqin was wearing green clothes, with a light face and a light expression. Although her appearance and temperament were different, the two did not look like Fengchen women, and there was no Fengchen atmosphere in the fireworks.
Chu Ling sat next to Jun Wuhuan, looking at the two women curiously, guessing which one was Cuiyue and which one was Suyu.
"I have met two princes and all the guests." The two women bowed their knees slightly, and their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which only made people feel kind but not flattering. The women following them also bowed one after another and walked aside with their respective instruments and sat down to prepare.
Prince Anxin smiled and said, "Are these two girls Cuiyue and Suyu? It's really a rare and stunning look. I can actually see two of them at once tonight. It's our order. These two are His Highness, King Chen and Young Master Changli. Let's greet you too."
The Fireworks Land is a well-informed place. Tuoba Yin may be less famous, but the two girls have obviously heard of Jun Wuhuan's reputation. After hearing Prince Anxin's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave them a little blessing, "I have seen Your Highness Chen, and Young Master Changli." Tuoba Yin slapped casually with a glass of wine, but just glanced at them lightly and obviously was not interested in these two stunning women. Jun Wuhuan gave some face and nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite." Then he turned his head and whispered to Chu Ling sitting beside him, obviously not interested.
For a moment, everyone felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
The couple of guests on the opposite side looked even more unkind. Originally, a red card like Xiang Cuiyue Suyu was definitely not something that anyone could see. Now Prince Anxin specially invited the two men to come over and looked completely uninterested. The jealousy of men is sometimes more terrifying than women. Other men are disdainful of the people they desire but cannot get. Moreover, the man is younger than himself, richer and more powerful than himself, and he looks better than himself. Isn’t this all-round way that he looks special and not on the table?
"It seems that His Highness Chen and Young Master Changli both have high visions. The two girls Xiang Cuiyue Suyu don't even look down on such stunning looks." A middle-aged man said with a bit sourness.
Prince Anxin smiled and said, "Young Master Changli is the future son-in-law appointed by His Majesty, and his vision is naturally higher. What's more, Your Highness is a stunning princess. It is said that Prince Wu'an of the Northern Jin Dynasty was also a first-class beauty. I believe that Mr. Changli is not surprised." Jun Wuhuan had been engaged to Prince Wu'an of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but in fact, there was not much knowledge in Pingjing. However, no one has done too much about this. After all, what Jun Wuhuan did in Shangjing was more well-known. He provoked the fight between Emperor Jin and Tuoba Liang with his own strength, and almost killed the Northern Jin Dynasty, causing heavy losses to the royal family of the Clan. Both the late Emperor Jin and Tuoba Liang now have hated Jun Wuhuan to death. What's more, Princess Wu'an is now missing, and many people have assumed that Princess Wu'an is dead, so naturally no one said anything about it.
Prince Anxin said such words at this time, but outsiders don’t know what the intention is, but they really don’t take Princess Shenyou seriously. When it comes to Princess Shenyou, it’s nothing if they just talk about Princess Wu’an, it’s not a big deal. After all, their identity is quite similar. However, it’s a bit inappropriate to compare two brothel women with Princess Shenyou.
Jun Wuhuan's eyes were slightly sunken. Just as Chu Ling was about to speak, Chu Ling secretly held the back of his hand. Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly and looked at Chu Ling. Chu Ling smiled at him and signaled him to look over there. The girl standing in the hall holding the pipa said with a smile: "The prince's words are a bad concubine and sister Su Yu. We are so humble that we can't see the corner of the princess' skirt. How dare we compare with the princess."
Prince Anxin narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing, as if he had forgotten his previous words in an instant and smiled: "Look at me, why do you do this? Since I have the honor of having two girls tonight, why would you do it for the two girls to do it so that you can practice it for His Highness Chen?"
The two of them naturally said yes, and they looked at each other and walked to the side to sit down and prepare.
Although they are women of fairness, they are not fools. If Prince Anxin's words were heard by Princess Shenyou, how could they have a good life? In this world, women are not easy to live, let alone their identity. Prince Anxin... I don't know if he really didn't pay attention or intentionality.
After a moment, the sound of the pipa sounded.
The clanging sound of the pipa is so clear and moving.
