Crown Jewels

Chapter 247 Fanwai Fourteen What do you think about me? (plus more)

The pink shirt was fluttering with the wind, it was not a palace attire for duty in the palace at all.

Such a poor excuse, even though Song Leyi had to bite the bullet, she couldn't continue. She bit her lips in frustration for a while, and said the second part of the sentence a little bit angrily, "Where are we going?"

Staring at Qi Yuan's eyes, Song Leyi didn't know why, her throat was a little tight, and even her words made her stumble, and the sound of hooves seemed to be unable to hide her nervousness.

"Huai River Painting Boat..."

Qi Yuan's voice was steady, and he uttered a few words firmly.

Pedestrians formed a pair on the shore, Song Leyi stepped half of her foot on the chopping board, her arm was firmly supported by Qi Yuan, the wooden plank shaking on the lake seemed to have a backbone under her feet in an instant, and lanterns were lit in the sky above the Huaihe River, accompanied by the bright moon. With the swaying lights, the Huaihe River in the night is shining with scales.

As Qi Yuan leaned into the string cabin of the boat, the aroma of fruit and wine came into his nose, and through the skylight on the side, he could smell the aroma of melons and fruits escaping from the water vapor in the lake.

Outside the skylight, dozens of painted boats sailed into the center of the lake, and the lights on the boards of the boats shone like stars in the sky, illuminating the center of the lake as brightly as day.

In the center of the lake, there is the largest painting boat, surrounded by white cloth and light silk, fluttering in the orange moonlight with the breeze, the scenery is too beautiful to behold.

With the sound of guqin, the melody is passionate and impassioned, just like the long cry of fighting on the battlefield, the originally noisy center of the lake gradually becomes quiet, leaving only the bright moonlight outside the skylight.

The moment the piano sounded, Song Yueyi immediately recognized that it was "Guangling San" by Wei Jin Ji Kang. The woman's back was slightly stiff, and she looked at Qi Yuan beside her in disbelief. "Guangling San" has always been difficult to play, but the simple piano just now The sound made Song Leyi's mind instantly see the battlefield of killing spears. The person who can play this rhyme in the world today is probably none other than Mr. Wu who lives in seclusion in the mountains.

But... Zhao Ran didn't mean...

How could Mr. Wu appear in this painting boat?

The fresh and smooth melody came one after another, and the style of the song changed drastically. Just now, the long battle in the wilderness had ended, and the lively and brisk melody flowed out from the clank of the piano. Song Leyi subconsciously closed her eyes, and the burnout in her eyes disappeared. The scenery of the coming of spring and the revival of the earth and the prosperity of all things makes people slow down their breathing and breathe out in accordance with the rhythm of the music. The greenery and chirping birds are everywhere. The night outside the painting boat has faded, and the spring is full.

The song moon was melodious, quite cultivating sentiment, Qi Yuan only lowered his eyes and listened for a moment, and his eyes soon fell on Song Leyi. The little girl looked intoxicated, her brows were full of obsession, it could be seen that she was genuinely happy, and the hazy lamp surrounded her. The skin is flawless.

Qi Yuan raised his lips, and when he listened to the music with her, he did not forget to peel almonds and melons for her.

Song Yueyi slowly opened his eyes when the sound of the moon ended. Before he could express his joy in the future, the nuts piled up on the plate in front of the wine glass were stunned for a moment.

Glancing across at Qi Yuan who was calm and composed, he was suddenly at a loss.

Qi Yuan handed the peeled orange to her, holding a walnut cracker in his hand, peeled the meat inside, and asked casually.

"Today is also the night of the full sixteenth month. The palace banquet was held yesterday. Why did you resign so late?"

Song Leyi bulged her cheeks slightly, chewing orange meat, talking about today's duty, apart from the unsatisfactory eyes the empress gave her when she was about to leave, she was also pulled by Gong Zheng to have a conversation halfway through, the content of the discussion was natural. Those ones……

In sight, the little girl wrinkled her nose subconsciously.

"Gong Zheng dragged me to talk, so it took some time."

The pink lips unconsciously chewed on the orange flesh, making the lips moist, and Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, what was said?"

Qi Yuan glanced at his lips, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly. The man picked up the remaining orange in his plate and took it in. The sweetness of the bursting juice stimulated the taste buds, just like the taste in his imagination.

Xu Shi was a little distracted thinking about the question, Song Leyi relaxed his vigilance, and blurted out what was on his mind.

"Isn't it about introducing her nephew who is an official in the official department—"

The little girl's voice was soft, her eyes drooped as she lowered her head, taking advantage of her moist lips, she seemed inexplicably pitiful while complaining, obviously troubled by this time for a long time.

Song Leyi recalled Gong Zheng's eager eyes again. They were all on duty in the palace. Gong Zheng was the head of the six bureau officials. After all, she was her boss. Because of her aunt, she took care of her a lot in the palace. I was really bored in my heart, so I had to listen honestly.

The silent sigh exposed her mind undoubtedly, Song Leyi blinked, and suddenly came back to her senses, covered her lips with her hand in annoyance, raised her eyes and peeked at Qi Yuan's attitude, saw his expression was calm, lowered her eyes Playing with the walnut in his hand, Song Leyi patted her chest as if she had never spoken to her heart, and Xingren couldn't hide her joy in her eyes.

To be honest, when Qi Yuan handed over walnuts, Xingren turned his eyes, and was about to find a topic, but was suddenly blown away by Qi Yuan's words.

"If you really find it annoying, you might as well consider... getting married earlier."

Putting down the fresh walnuts in his hand, Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, the warm light from the lamp shone on his face, showing a serious, upright and handsome appearance.

The candlelight cave was jumping, and the bursting lanterns were a little unstable. Qi Yuan's eyes fell on Song Leyi's face with warmth, and the smile in his peach blossom pupils subsided.

"As for this candidate...if not."

Qi Yuan suddenly approached, the breath of green bamboo and pine cypress spread on her face, making her heart itch unbearably.

"What do you think about me?"

The clear voice swayed in the moonlight, and the peach blossom eyes were once again smudged with laughter. Qi Yuan's words were light, but to Song Leyi's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He choked on the walnuts he had just brought into his mouth.

Song Leyi's sudden pale complexion shocked Qi Yuan, the beautiful moonlight just now was gone, and there was some chaos in the cabin.

With the support of Qi Yuan's arm, Song Leyi struggled to pour two cups of tea, swallowing the choke in her throat completely.

The moment after the breath calmed down, Song Leyi was so embarrassed after being choked that she wanted to get into the hole. Fortunately, Qi Yuan still patted her on the back to help her calm down, but turned her face away in a gentlemanly manner, until the robe on her body Being tugged, Qi Yuan's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes naturally lowered, and he saw the white and round nails of his slender fingers showing a healthy pink halo.

"The walnuts are dry, we won't eat them next time."

Qi Yuan casually found an excuse and put away the walnuts in front of her. Song Leyi nodded numbly. Although her throat was still a little uncomfortable, it was far less shocking than what he said just now.

"Uh-huh--"

Song Leyi nodded and hummed softly, thinking that her mind had been discovered, she didn't dare to look at Qi Yuan at all, but her almond eyes were wide open, Weng Sheng gasped.

"Qi, Brother Qi, you just said..."

In Qi Yuan's line of sight, her pink lips pursed in confusion, and there was a bit of silent embarrassment in her brows and eyes.

"Well, what does that mean?"
