Lady Changning

Chapter 19 The Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix (1)

I haven't seen her for some time, and seeing her temperament is more and more unpredictable, but even more attractive.

"Get up, calling you here is just to reminisce about the old days."

She didn't think this sneaky thing had the feeling of reminiscing about the past, let alone where she and the third prince had anything to reminisce about.He was able to come to her only because of Yan Xiufeng. She glanced at Yan Xiufeng beside the third prince, and said that Yan Xiufeng was a confidant, but in her opinion, he was just a running dog. She must have been blind in her previous life.

Xi Changning sat in front of the third prince, bowed his head and remained silent.

"I usually see you are eloquent, but you have nothing to say when you see me."

"What's the matter with the third prince looking for Changning, don't say anything on the scene. I think Young Master Yan has said everything he should say."

Now that she has come to this point, the people in front of her have nothing to fear.

"I don't know what Changning thinks of the prince?"

Another trial.The third prince changed his usual warm smile and looked at Xi Changning with a cold and handsome face.This is his real face, that small face is just a harmless mask, and only in this way can he, the gentle and gentle third prince, occupy a place among the many princes.

"The prince is naturally good, how can I say good or bad."

"I just said not to say something on the scene, but now you are playing sloppy."

Xi Changning knew that the third prince was a fox and was very cunning, how could she dismiss it with such ambiguous words.

"Why should the third prince make things difficult for Changning? What Changning said is not important, what matters is what the third prince wants to hear."

Dealing with people like the third prince made Xi Changning feel uncomfortable all over, and he had to calculate every word he said.Especially when the third prince changed his normal routine, his eagle-like eyes seemed as sharp as looking for prey.

"Actually, it's not a difficult task. I just wish Chang Ning could be a friend. I heard that the Prime Minister intends to marry General Yan's mansion. In this way, you and I should not be enemies."

Get married?Why didn't she know about this?

"Confess, I'm afraid that the third prince will fail, and Changning is not as good as Yan. How can he climb up to the Yan Mansion? The only elder sister in the family is as good as Yan."

Originally, Yan Xiufeng was a bit dazed because of the marriage, but after hearing Xi Changning's words, he was overjoyed that it would be a good thing if he could marry the most beautiful woman in the capital, but if it was the unpredictable girl in front of him, it might not be a good thing. It's a good thing, at least her wisdom is already a rare treasure, presumably the third prince will use him more.But Xi Changning may not be willing.

"Then I don't know. It's a beautiful thing anyway. If it's you, there's nothing to shirk from your parents' orders and your matchmaker's words."

The third prince obviously knew something about it, it must be Xi Jian who mentioned it, Xi Jian was not nervous about Xi Hanxue's marriage, and planned her marriage, only two people can do this, the eldest lady and Xi Hanxue.

No!She is not reconciled, she is reborn in this life, she does not want to marry Yan Xiufeng again, she must change everything.

"It's late, please forgive Changning and return home first."

"Xiufeng, you go down first."

For some unknown reason, the Third Prince asked Yan Xiufeng to get out of the car first.In this way, only Xi Changning and the third prince were left in the small car.

The third prince suddenly approached Xi Changning, looked at Xi Changning very closely, and Xi Changning also looked at him without fear.

This is a good-looking person, not the delicateness of his daughter's family, the brows are really handsome like a spring breeze, such a good-looking person, but at this moment, the whole body is exuding a cold air, and his handsome face is also coated with a layer of cold air.Such oppression made Xi Changning clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.

"Although I don't know why you hate Yan Xiufeng so much, but if you really want to keep you, this is also a way."

Seeing that Xi Changning was trembling, Huangfu Shenqian even pulled her loose cloak for no reason, this move surprised him.He is a person who never reveals his true heart. Even if someone tears off his mask, what he faces is another mask. He really revealed too much today. After thinking about it, he silently retracted his hands.

"How about you as it is. Wouldn't it be better for me to marry you? Why, does the prince dislike Changning's low status? Then why make things difficult for Changning?"

Hearing this, the third prince was stunned. Changning's words were not long, but every word touched his heart. Why did he want to keep her so much, just because he was afraid that she would join the prince?
Seeing that the third prince was in a daze, Chang Ning didn't want to say any more, but seeing an umbrella on the door curtain with words engraved on it, he knew at a glance who it belonged to.Xi Changning picked up the umbrella and walked out of the carriage. Seeing that the people outside were waiting anxiously, she took Mingyu and left as if nothing had happened.

"Miss San, I don't know..." Yan Xiufeng hesitated to speak.

"Young Master Yan, my elder sister is as beautiful as a flower. It's natural to like her. Why don't you dare to say it. Don't want to hurt others again."

Before Yan Xiufeng could reply, Xi Changning had already left quickly.Even Mingyu who was behind him could barely catch up.

Xi Changning tightly held the umbrella in his hand, rubbing the inscription on the handle of the umbrella with his fingertips, "Qian".

"Miss, it's raining again, don't hold on to the umbrella, Mingyu will prop it up for you, or you will hurt yourself if you get wet in the rain." Mingyu pulled the umbrella out of Xi Changning's hand and propped it up.

The painting on the umbrella is Jiang Taigong fishing. If I remember correctly, the last sentence should be that the wisher takes the bait.Now she is like that fish.

No!She didn't want to, she was not reborn to repeat the bitterness and hatred of her previous life.In this life, she is destined to use any means to watch those people lose everything, and she will not let anyone manipulate her.Thinking of this, a sour feeling swelled in her heart, she blindfolded, she didn't want to be that pawn Xi Changning, she wanted those who had hurt her to pay back a little bit of blood.

"Mingyu, don't go back. Come with me."

Tightening the cloak, as if she wanted to trap herself deeply in it, she still didn't want to go back and look at the faces that made her want to vomit, and she didn't want others to see her looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the young lady frowned tightly, Mingyu knew that the young lady had something on her mind.She didn't say anything but just quietly walked beside the young lady.

The world is peaceful these days, and there are all kinds of markets, and the differences are also divided by districts. In order to facilitate transactions, the ban on night markets has been extended a lot. All in all, the capital city is a prosperous place.

The hawking on the street couldn't attract Xi Changning, and she didn't care about the crowd's clamor. She was still thinking about how to prevent the Da Furen from ordering herself in the Yan Mansion.Since ancient times, children have had little say in matters of marriage, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers.

"Miss, you've been walking for a long time. If you don't rest, you'll have something to eat." Mingyu saw that the lady was walking aimlessly, and thought that there was no way to do it. Besides, the streets were extremely chaotic, and it would be bad to get lost.

Hearing Mingyu calling her, she put aside those annoying thoughts and came back to her senses, only to realize that she was in a bustling street, and the spring rain had stopped, traffickers and pawns, and people everywhere she could see, she was dressed in a grand manner , Some people have looked at her with strange eyes.

"Mingyu knows what's delicious."

"I know, but I can't go up to the counter. If Miss wants to eat something good, the best teahouse in the capital is just a few steps away." Mingyu pointed to the not far away, where the big signboard hung prominently, Xuanji Mufeng Teahouse.

"No, don't invite people to look at it. Just find something unremarkable." Looking at the decoration outside the building, one can tell that the people who enter are either rich or expensive.

"I know this. There is a refreshment restaurant in front. The dim sum in it is delicious. I bought it and shared it with the sisters in the room before I came back."

Seeing Mingyu's eyes shining brightly, Xi Changning let his temper follow her as soon as she arrived.

Feng Qiuhuang?This humble restaurant actually uses this name?A little purple dragon is engraved on the bottom of the signboard.Before entering the store, I could smell the fragrance inside, the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the aroma of wine, and some subtle sweetness.

Entering the store, the decorations are all very ordinary objects, and the people who are seated are also ordinary people. Xi Changning feels that he has walked into the home of ordinary people.The only difference is that there is a painting of the top of a snow-capped mountain hanging on the wall beside the stairs. From the technique to the brush and ink, it is done in one go. Not much let alone know how to draw.No wonder the shop is called Fengqiuhuang.

But this store is really strange, knowing that it is hard to find a bosom friend here, why bother to open this restaurant and hang this painting?
"Does the girl know how to draw?"

The person who asked the question was an elderly man who looked more like a housekeeper from his clothes.

"I don't understand, let's just watch." Xi Changning didn't want to attract attention, so he cut off the old man's thoughts.

"Girl, why don't you add something, that's what the owner wants. You can take anything from the store by adding one."

Xi Changning looked around, it was a simple shop, what can I get.Thinking about it, a small wooden sign of Zilong hanging behind the counter attracted her.

"Anything?" she asked.

"Miss, do you want to prepare pen and ink?" This was her answer.

Xi Changning looked at the painting again, paced up the stairs, and stopped at a mountain peak. She stretched out her index finger and put it to her mouth to bite it gently.

"Ah! Miss, what are you doing?" Mingyu exclaimed.

Xi Changning ignored her surprise, and drew a half-round sun on the mountain peak, the bright red blood was like a reddish sun.But just can't tell what's wrong.After finishing the painting, Mingyu hurried up to wrap it up for her with a handkerchief.

"Bring some specialty wine and snacks, and we'll pack them up and go. Also, I want the Zilong wooden sign."

"Yes. But, this wooden signboard is just a signboard. The girl doesn't plan to ask for something valuable?" the old man kindly reminded.

"I don't want these broken wooden signs, what I want is the piece of purple nanmu behind the counter."

The old man was stunned when he heard this.This brand belongs to the boss, and it is different from other brands because it is to distinguish the boss's wine from others'. Whoever makes their boss disappear at every turn, and suddenly reappears.

"Why do you want to regret it?"

The brand belongs to the boss, and the rules are also set by the boss, so it is natural to do it.The old man handed over the Purple Dragon Wooden Plaque.

Xi Changning flipped through it in his hand. On the back of the wooden sign was written the three characters "Feng Qiuhuang", but the handwriting of the signature was not from the same person.

Mingyu took the wine and snacks packed by the shop waiter and followed the lady out of Fengqiuhuang.

Da da da... The sound of horseshoes sounded in my ears, a touch of purple passed by, and a faint scent of osmanthus came from my nose.Looking back, there was no one there.
