Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 2 First Encounter in Sky Valley (2)
"Don't talk nonsense later, ask me first." Chu Yan whispered next to Chu Ning, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

"Yes." Chuning timidly agreed.

"Haha, brother Ziyu, you lost!" Chuning followed Chu Yan, walking through the winding corridor, and suddenly heard a burst of clear laughter.

The person leading the way stopped and said, "It's just ahead."

Chuning looked up, and there was a huge lotus lake in the middle of the lush bamboo forest.The lotus in the lake is in full bloom, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.There is a three-story pavilion on the lake, and the windows on the upper floor are open, and it is faintly visible that someone is drinking tea inside.There were three people sitting in the pavilion on the first floor, a man and a woman were playing chess, and there was a young man standing beside them. The laughter just now came from that pavilion.

"You girl, His Highness clearly let you go, you are quite proud." The young man watching from the side smiled and knocked on the girl's head.

"Princess, little prince, Miss Chu is here." The guide announced.

The girl suddenly raised her head and looked over, with a smile on her tender face: "Chu Yan, come here quickly, it's rare that brother Ziyu is free today, come and compete with him."

This girl with bright eyes and bright teeth is Xie Lingshuang, the young princess of Jinwangfu, and the man who spoke just now is Xie Lingran, the young prince of Jinwangfu.

"I have heard for a long time that King Rong is superb at chess. It is Chu Yan's fortune to be able to compete with His Highness today." Chu Yan walked over gracefully, her voice as gentle as water, her face flushed with a tinge of blush.

"Miss Chu, please." The warm and jade-like voice sounded slowly.

Chu Ning, who was standing behind Chu Yan, was startled when he heard the voice, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

After a long time, Chu Ning slowly raised his head. The person in front of him was dressed in a white brocade robe, with an extraordinary appearance. Who else was it if it wasn't the ghost who urged him to die that night?

It turned out that he was Xie Ziyu, the prince of Rong, the legendary third prince who had shocking talents and was the most favored by the Holy One.

When Chu Ning looked at him, he just raised his eyes to look over, those eyes were calm, but seemed to be able to see through everything.Chu Ning was startled, and quickly lowered his head.

"Chu Yan, is this the third lady of your General's Mansion?" Xie Lingshuang asked directly, not intending to make her an invisible person by the side.

"Yes, my sister's name is Chu Ning. Because of her flawed appearance, she didn't like to go out since she was a child. If the princess hadn't specially instructed her this time, she might be bored in the room again and refuse to come out." Chu Yan clicked Nodding, he replied with a smile.

"My sister is so beautiful, where can my sister be?" Xie Lingshuang blinked, "I heard that Miss San and Ye Xiaohou Ye were engaged since childhood?"

"Yes." Chuning replied softly.

"Coincidentally, the young master is here today, just for you to meet." Xie Lingshuang said, and called upstairs: "Ye Qingyan, your fiancée is here, why don't you come down?"

As soon as Xie Lingshuang finished speaking, a group of young men and women came down from upstairs laughing.At first, the man's eyebrows were shining brightly, and he was flirting with a woman next to him. He looked over here, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Is the fiancée beautiful? This Marquis only loves beautiful women, not ugly ones."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people behind him burst into laughter, and someone said, "I heard that Miss Chu San stays at home all year round because of her ugly appearance, is that true?"

"This statement is wrong. The second Miss Chu is as beautiful as a flower, so how can the third Miss Chu be worse? Maybe she has a beautiful face." Someone laughed.

Looking at the group of princes and ladies who wanted to watch a good show in front of him, Chuning felt a little headache. Sure enough, such an occasion would shorten his life!
"You can tell if you're beautiful or ugly." Ye Qingyan looked at Chuning with a cool smile on his face, "Since Miss San is here, why bother to wear a veil?"

Chu Ning looked at Chu Yan, a little helpless in his eyes, Chu Yan frowned and turned her gaze away.

Chu Ning lowered his head in panic, his voice trembling slightly: "Chuning is indeed ugly, and he lifted his veil to avoid scaring everyone."

"Qingyan, you will see what Miss Chu looks like sooner or later, why rush?" Seeing Chuning's cowardly appearance, Xie Lingran couldn't help but open her mouth to help her out.

"Didn't you say she was my fiancée? Could it be that I still can't see it?" Ye Qingyan raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and took off Chuning's veil.

A face covered with red spots appeared in front of everyone, and there was a sound of sighing all around.

Chuning immediately covered his face, trembling all over, and his eyes were covered with water mist.

"Haha, Ye Qingyan, you are so lucky to marry such a 'beauty'!" Someone said with a big laugh.

Ye Qingyan's face was a little ugly.

"A marriage contract is really a good thing. No matter how ugly you are, you don't have to worry about getting married, Miss San?" The woman who had just teased Ye Qingyan looked at Chuning and asked.

Chu Ning lowered his head and didn't say a word, and heard the woman continue: "It's a pity, Young Master, I heard that Ye Hou intends to let Young Master get married this year, is there such a thing?"

Ye Qingyan frowned, then smiled: "It's true, but it's a pity that it's not known whether the bride will be Miss Chu or not."

Chu Ning suddenly raised his head, looked at Ye Qingyan with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you..."

"Third sister, don't be rude." Chu Yan said softly.

Chuning immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to say anything.

Xie Ziyu watched all this calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Ye Qingyan felt bored, and turned to look at Xie Lingshuang: "Princess, this fiancee is really not fun, do you have any fun tricks?"

Xie Lingshuang smiled "puchi", stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Ning behind her, glared at Ye Qingyan, and said, "Look at you scared Miss San, this is a guest I invited, not for you to bully."

There were no railings around the pavilion. When Xie Lingshuang pulled it, Chuning stepped on the ground and fell into the lotus lake.

Chu Ning struggled in the water for a while before standing up. Fortunately, the lake was not deep and only reached her waist. After such a fall, she felt blood oozing from the wound again.Fortunately, the clothes he was wearing today were red, so even if there were blood stains oozing out, they would not be noticed.

She covered the cold light in her eyes and turned around tremblingly. Some of the people watching the theater in the pavilion couldn't even hide the smiles on their lips.

"Princess, the iced mung bean soup is ready." A maid hurriedly walked into the pavilion and announced.

"My princess has prepared a good show today, everyone please move." After Xie Lingshuang finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ning who was standing motionless in the lake, and said, "Chuning, you go to the left so that you can get ashore there." , I will let the servant girl wait for you there, she will lead you to change clothes. Brother Ziyu, let's go."

Xie Ziyu stood up, glanced at Chuning in the lake, hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly, and then walked away.

A group of ladies and gentlemen also left the pavilion, Ye Qingyan didn't even look at Chuning, and just talked and laughed with the people around him.

"Chuning, what are you still doing? Why don't you go ashore soon?" Chu Yan stomped her feet and said with a straight face.The face of the General's Mansion can be regarded as lost by this ugly monster!

There was no one in the lively pavilion just now, and Chu Ning's eyes were darkened, as if he was dizzy with a layer of thick ink, but soon the ink slowly dissipated again.

Chuning walked to the shore step by step with difficulty, reached out to grab the rocks on the shore, but suddenly felt a piece of warmth.She widened her eyes suddenly, and looked at the jade-like palm in front of her, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Ziyu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Chuning? I didn't expect us to meet again."

Chuning's heart couldn't help but feel guilty, the meaning of these words must be: You have been poisoned by me, and you are not dead yet!
That's right, she is so hard-working!

While Chu Ning was slandering in his heart, he did not forget to show a cowardly and surprised expression: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."

Seeing that Chuning was about to climb ashore.

Xie Ziyu's hand suddenly let go, and with a "plop", Chuning fell into the lake again.

Chu Ning struggled to stand up from the lake, looked at Xie Ziyu with some helplessness, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness..."

"You slipped your hand just now, come on, I'll pull you up." Xie Ziyu curled up his lips, and stretched out his hand to Chuning again, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Chuning cursed inwardly, did you put oil on your hands?You are slippery!
She didn't think Xie Ziyu really recognized her, it was more likely that he was testing her.

So Chuning firmly put his hand into Xie Ziyu's and asked him to pull her ashore.

This time Xie Ziyu did not let go, and pulled her up. Chuning sat on the ground, panting for a while with difficulty.

There is an exquisite rockery on the shore, and Chuning looked around, and there really was no maid Xie Lingshuang had mentioned.So he turned his head to look at Xie Ziyu, his eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you Your Highness for lending a helping hand, Chuning is very grateful."

After speaking, Chuning stood up and prepared to walk out through the rockery.

The people behind him approached suddenly, and Chuning couldn't help but froze.Just as he was about to turn around, his thick palm suddenly pressed towards Chuning from behind, pressing her down on the rockery.Chu Ning didn't dare to move, and didn't even dare to show the pain, so he asked tremblingly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you doing?"

There was a sudden chill on her shoulders, Chu Ning was stunned for a while, and it took a while to realize that this bastard ripped off her clothes!
Just about to have an attack, Xie Ziyu's cool voice came into his ears: "The wound is treated well."

Chuning's body stiffened immediately.
