Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 43
Bai Xing didn't know why Ji Wuyan was always wearing a veil, so he took it for granted that he probably looked average, maybe, it's not as good as...

After all, even the girls in the inner house are not willing to hide their good looks from others, not to mention that this restaurant is also a business of showing their faces, if it is really beautiful, it will be the icing on the cake.

Thinking of this, for no reason, he felt a little bit of "empathy" for Ji Wuyan.

Seeing that Zhang Dexian only squinted his eyes and smiled, he didn't speak, and immediately ignored Ji Wuyan's obstruction, he said in a serious voice, "Although I have no control over that person's decision, you also know that Miss Ren is here to play well." Qu'er, it's not easy. Although I've mastered nine of the ten orifices of the rhythm, and I don't understand the rest, I still feel that it's much better than what I've heard. If there is a dispute, you can persuade that person to save your talent."

It was almost heart-breaking, and it was moved with emotion and reason.

Zhang Dexian still squinted his eyes and smiled, like a Maitreya Buddha, making it impossible to tell the truth, he just bowed slightly, "Master Bai, our master just wants to meet Miss Wuyan, don't worry, Third Master Ning is here too."

... Ji Wuyan gritted her teeth secretly. The ancestor brought the emperor here?

Compared to Ji Wuyan's gnashing of teeth, Bai Xing was relieved. After all, Ning Xiuyuan also promised to take care of him in front of his grandmother. This person usually looks black-hearted, but it is a promise Things, since will not be sloppy.

He nodded immediately and put away his hands, but he still didn't forget to turn around and tell him, "The one upstairs has a more distinguished status, so you should speak respectfully." He couldn't remind others.

Ji Wuyan had already guessed in his heart, but he was still grateful for Bai Xing's protection of him. The true heart in the words he said seriously just now was moving.

"Okay." Nodding his head in agreement, he turned to look at Zhang Dexian, "Please lead the way."

She is gentle and polite, with a little cinnabar at the end of her eyes, but she is charming and stunning.

Zhang Dexian was also secretly surprised in his heart, narrowed his eyes and opened them a little, the smile on his face seemed to have faded, showing a little sharpness, but in a flash he was like Maitreya Buddha again, "Girl, please."

Although Bai Xing's voice was low, it could be heard from the surroundings quietly dropping needles, and many people heard it. What kind of identity should the young master of the Bai family treat with such caution... Everyone speculated one after another.

The eyes that fell on Ji Wuyan's back became a little more envious - if this girl fell into the eyes of the powerful lord today, and with the protection of the Bai family, in the days to come, it would not be too much to say that she will make a smooth progress. .

At the door of the private room on the second floor, Zhang Dexian bent down and called in a low voice, "Master, Miss Wuyan is here."

"Enter."

The voice inside was concise and short, with the serious aura of a long-time superior.

Ji Wuyan turned around and handed the qin in his hand to Ziqiu, followed Zhang Dexian into the room, bowed his eyebrows and greeted him, "My little girl sees my lord." He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he just pretended not to know.

The royal family is probably the enemy of her, but I don't know if the emperor's handwriting was involved in that incident, Ji Wuyan subconsciously held back her breath, and withdrew all her sharpness, she looked like just a timid little girl playing the piano, passing by downstairs It seemed that he was a little surprised by that commotion.

She didn't look at the emperor, but the emperor was looking at her.

The woman wearing a veil, with her head down, is increasingly unable to see her appearance and demeanor. Judging from her figure, she has a good figure and her temperament. She looks a little like a jade.It's just that, seeing too many beauties, I always feel that the one in front of me is not very attractive.He is also timid, not even daring to take a sneak peek, how can it be as interesting as Ning Xiuyuan described before?
Originally thought that if she was a great beauty, it would be good to marry Ning Xiuyuan by an imperial decree, but looking at it now...it seems a bit unworthy.

Somewhat disappointed.

The emperor looked at Ning Xiuyuan, who was leaning on the back of the chair and drinking tea in silence, and suddenly felt that this trip was not worth it, but he came here anyway. This girl's piano is really good, and it is okay to mention it, so he opened his mouth Asked, "I also have some influence in the court. I heard that there is a vacancy in the Jiaofang Division. Miss, do you want to join the Jiaofang Division?"

"I don't want to."

There was little hesitation.

He obviously still looked timid, but his voice was clear, and the answer was somewhat unexpected.

The emperor glanced at Ning Xiuyuan, who was not surprised at all, and asked Ji Wuyan, "How can it be bad to eat the emperor's salary?"

The woman raised her head slightly, then lowered it instantly, her voice was soft but firm, "Eat the king's salary, and worry about the king's worries. The little girl doesn't have such big ambitions."

The words are extraordinarily high-sounding, but they can't escape the eyes of the emperor. This girl... pretends.

It seems that humans and animals are not as harmless as they appear on the surface.

The emperor leaned back in his chair, looked at the girl in front of him with great interest, "raise your head."

The other party raised his head slowly, and the emperor was taken aback for a moment... What a pair of beautiful eyes!The black pupils are as deep as the deep sea under the moon, and there is a little cinnabar at the end of the eyes, which amazes the night.

He thought... he should take back his initial impression.

"Honestly," he said.

Ji Wuyan said nothing.

The emperor chuckled lightly, and casually said, "I have some right to speak in front of Your Majesty. Tell me, if I ask His Majesty to issue an imperial decree, I will arrange you to enter the Jiaofang Division like this... Will you resist the decree?" ?”

Ning Xiuyuan did not speak from the beginning to the end, as if he had melted into the night, when he heard this, he suddenly got up halfway and filled the emperor with wine.

The emperor raised his eyes subconsciously, and touched the still calm eyes of the other party, and suddenly felt... guilty for no reason, is this a protection?Surprised in my heart, but my face is still tense, but my tone is slow, "Speak."

Although Ji Wuyan raised his head, his eyes only fell on a small copper censer, and he smiled, "Your Excellency should have heard about the recent quarrels between the Yang family and Fengchenju. Come to think of it, Yang Sima The face among colleagues is a bit unattractive. This breath is depressed, and he always looks for an opportunity to go out. Although the Jiaofang Secretary eats the emperor's salary and is loyal to His Majesty, he definitely does not dare to be an enemy of Lord Yang... so, my lord Where do you think the little girl is more comfortable?"

Reason, it is indeed such a reason.

It really seemed like a reason that a fairly smart woman could think of.According to how much Fengchenju attaches importance to Ji Wuyan now, the money she can earn is only a lot more than that of the Jiaofang Secretary. Therefore, it is really not worthwhile to be controlled by others for the sake of the status of the official.

The emperor's face softened a little, and he accepted the statement, "Since that's the case, I won't force you any more. If you change your mind at any time, just tell Lord Ning that I will make the decision for you."

Ji Wuyan smiled and said yes, but he was slandering in his heart, he said "his own official" with ease, obviously he often went out to "bluff and deceive" under the guise of this imperial official.
