Love the concubine

Chapter 256 An old friend

Seeing her aggrieved look, Ling Wuying smiled and rubbed her head with his hands.

"Okay, I'll have someone bring your clothes over later, I'll go to court first." After speaking, he kissed her forehead again before leaving the Xiulou.

When the sun first rose in the morning, Xiao Xiao took Yun Xi's clothes to Xiulou, and when she saw the clothes all over the place, she immediately blushed and turned her eyes away, then came to the bedside and waited for Yun Xi to get up .

When she was getting dressed, seeing Xiaoxiao avoiding her eyes, Yun Xi felt a little strange, but she didn't take it to heart, she just thought Xiaoxiao was innocent and thin-skinned.

However, when she finally came to the vanity mirror and was about to comb her hair, she realized why Xiaoxiao did that, because on her neck, there was the mark left by Ling Wuying last night!

"Damn Ling Wuying!"

Yun Xi felt ashamed and annoyed now, and then asked Xiao Xiao to bring a silk handkerchief and wrap it around her neck before she dared to go out from the embroidery building.

After eating breakfast, Yun Xi had nothing else to do in the palace, so he thought of Yun Shaoling, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and planned to go to the inn to see him.

When she came to the inn where Yun Shaoling was, because it was early, there were not many people walking on the street, and there were not many people in the inn, so as soon as she entered, she saw her second brother who was drinking tea inside.

"Second brother!"

Hearing this sound, Yun Shaoling's hands paused, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Xi walking towards him with Xiao Xiao, followed by Shao Qing at the end.

"It's so early, what can I do to come to see you?"

"Can't you come and talk to the second brother if you have nothing to do?" Yun Xi said as he picked up the cup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

After drinking tea, she went on to say: "It's too boring for me to stay in the palace alone, and I'm afraid that I won't be at ease when I go to other places, so I came to you! What's wrong? You don't welcome me?"

"That's not true, it's just that, as a princess, it's not good for you to run out all the time."

Yun Shaoling was still the same as before, with a relatively closed mind and always liked to talk to others about the rules, but Yun Xi didn't mind either. Hearing what he said, she just twitched the corners of her lips and didn't respond.

While chatting with him at the inn, Yun Xi inadvertently asked about his sudden disappearance three years ago, which let her know clearly what happened to him back then.

Three years ago, someone deliberately lured him out with his own news, with the purpose of getting rid of him outside!So, he met the killer while on the road.

At that time, all the people he took out were killed, and there was no one left. Even he himself was seriously injured, but fortunately, his life should not be lost, and he was rescued when he escaped unconscious.

Later, when he was recuperating from his injuries, he met a famous teacher and saw that he was a good material for martial arts, so he accepted him as his apprentice!
After worshiping as a master, he has been following his master all the time, until recently he got his master's permission to return to Chang'an City.

"Second brother, who is your master?" Yun Xi couldn't help asking him after hearing the last word.

Yun Shaoling hesitated for a moment and was about to answer, but suddenly there was a commotion outside, which interrupted him from what he was going to say.

The two looked for their reputation, and saw that passers-by were running in the same direction for some reason.

Not only that, after a while, the only few people in the inn seemed to have heard something, and they all got up and walked towards the direction where those people were running.

Out of curiosity, Yun Xi put aside all the questions she had asked Yun Shaoling just now, and called the waiter over.

"Xiaoer, what are they doing here?"

"Oh, they are going to Avon Pavilion to see our No. [-] Qin Ji in Chang'an City, Miss Meng Qin."

"The first Qin Ji?" Yun Xi felt very fresh when he heard this word.

To be called number one, this girl Mengqin's piano skills must be very good!Thinking of this, Yun Xi dragged Yun Shaoling who was sitting on the stool, and said he wanted him to go and have a look with him.

Yun Shaoling didn't want to go out at first, but seeing that she was so interested, he couldn't refuse to disturb her, so he left the inn with her in the end.

When they came to the door of Avon Pavilion, they saw that the inside and outside were already full of people, and they thought it would be difficult to get in now.

"I didn't expect that this girl Mengqin was so popular! Standing outside, you can't see inside, and there are so many people watching here."

Yun Xi stood outside the crowd and tiptoed to look inside, but saw nothing, the black mass was all the backs of other people's heads.

Hearing what Yun Xi said, Yun Shaoling also glanced in, but of course, like Yun Xi, everything was blocked and he couldn't see anything.

In this way, he finally sighed helplessly, and then said to Yun Xi: "There are so many people here, I guess we can't see them anymore, let's go back."

Yun Xi was a little bit unwilling at first, but Xiao Xiao also said at this time: "Yes, miss, you see there are so many people here, it would be bad if something goes wrong again in a while."

"Although this Meng Qin is known as the number one Qin Ji, she is still just a prostitute. Such a big publicity is nothing more than trying to gain some fame for herself. There is no need for Miss to look at a prostitute."

Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Xi realized that this girl Mengqin was a geisha, but even so, she thought it was no big deal, so she turned around and scolded Xiaoxiao angrily.

"Xiao Xiao, don't blame me for criticizing you. Although this girl Meng Qin's background is not glorious, how can we deny her just based on her appearance? You shouldn't say that about her."

"Yes, I know my mistake."

She was reprimanded by Yun Xi before she finished speaking, and Xiao Xiao didn't dare to say anything more at this time, then she looked at her princess for instructions, and asked: "Then, miss, should we go back now? "

Seeing this, Yun Xi looked up hesitantly at the location on the second floor of Avon Pavilion, and when she turned around, she saw that there was a teahouse just opposite, and the upstairs could just face Avon Pavilion, so she told Yun Shaoling to sit in the teahouse opposite. sit.

When he came to the room of the tea house and sat down, Yun Xi looked out the window by the table, just in time to see the bustling crowd below, as well as the second floor of Avon Pavilion.

At this time, the opposite room was blocked by a beaded curtain. Yun Xi couldn't see clearly through the beaded curtain, but she could vaguely see a woman in plain clothes and a white dress sitting behind the beaded curtain. .

"The woman opposite should be Miss Meng Qin, right?"

Yun Xi looked at the person behind the bead curtain with interest, and after a while, there was an elegant and melodious piano sound, which immediately attracted her attention.

After listening carefully for a while, Yun Xi suddenly felt that the sound of the piano was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before!
In the end, a certain scene from a few years ago appeared in her mind. At that time, she was outside a music workshop and heard a beautiful piano sound, which was exactly the same as the current one!

The sound of the piano is similar to what I heard back then, with a touch of sadness, but the difference is that today the song is as soft as the wind, continuous and continuous, more like a woman is telling herself lovesickness.

Halfway through the song, Yun Xi was about to say something, but Yun Shaoling who was sitting across from him didn't know what happened, and suddenly got up and ran out in a hurry.

"Hey, second brother, where are you going?"

Seeing that others had already run downstairs, Yun Xi didn't bother to continue listening to the music, and immediately asked Xiao Xiao to pay for the tea, and then chased him out from behind.

Following Yun Shaoling's hasty pace all the way to the door of the Avon Pavilion, Yun Xi watched him follow the crowd and enter the Avon Pavilion.

"Master, please stay!"

Yun Shaoyan went all the way to the second floor of Avon Pavilion, outside the room where Meng Qin was, and was stopped by two maids before he went in.

"My lord, my girl won't be visiting today. If you just want to listen to the piano, please go downstairs."

Hearing the words of the two maids at the door, Yun Shaoling took a look inside, but he didn't leave immediately, but politely said to the two maids: "I'm going down to Yun Shaoling, I didn't mean to disturb the girl."

"It was only just now that I was lucky enough to hear the sound of the girl's piano. It feels very similar to the music played by an old friend of mine! I thought, maybe this old friend knew the girl, so I wanted to ask the girl, and I hope the two of you can go in. Let me know."

Yun Shaoling did not directly say that Meng Qin might be his 'old friend', because if he did so, it would inevitably cause people to criticize, saying that he was just looking for an excuse to meet Miss Meng Qin.

Seeing that the other party is gentle and courteous, the two servant girls are not good enough to rush him away like this. After a moment of hesitation, one of them stood up and said to him: "In that case, please wait here for a while, sir, and I will ask My girl."

"Excuse me." Yun Shaoling bowed to her, then watched the maid push the door and walk in.

The room was separated by a layer of gauze curtains, so Yun Shaoling could only see a plain figure sitting inside, her hands were still plucking the strings, but she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

After the maid went in, she whispered something next to the woman's ear, and then the sound of the zither inside suddenly stopped, and half a quarter of an hour later, the maid finally came out from inside.

"My lord, my girl said that she saw the piece she played from a piano score by chance, and she never knew the old man that the lord mentioned."

Hearing the maid's reply, Yun Shaoling was inevitably a little disappointed, he paused for a while before recovering, and then said apologetically: "So, please forgive me for disturbing the girl's elegance, Shaoling I'm really sorry."

When the people in the room heard what he said, they paused slightly, and then said something to the maid beside them, and then the maid came out from inside.
