Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 44 Coincidence
Su Tiange has taken Ai Xiang around the West Lake many times, but he still can't understand Uncle Gui's words about the light rain of apricot blossoms.It's the middle of winter now, so naturally we can't see the apricot blossoms, and Uncle Gui's words are vague, so it's really hard to find them at this time.

The two master and servant crossed the bridge and found the nearest teahouse to drink tea. A pot of Biluochun came up, three or five green leaves and one Wangchun water.Su Tiange held the cup and smelled it, the tea was very fragrant.There is a woman sitting under the screen with a full moon and flowers in the middle, and her tactful singing accompanied by the crisp and melodious voice of the pipa echoes in the lobby.Occasionally, when singing to the emotional part, the tea guests around will applaud and applaud very appropriately.

After singing the song, the man came up and whispered a few words to the woman, and when the song started again, the taste changed, the original melodious and melodious became cheerful and playful.Su Tiange felt a little familiar after listening to it for a while, as if she could hum the next sentence after one sentence.

"Isn't this "Pinghu Spring" which is very popular in Jinling City recently?" Some knowledgeable tea drinkers began to popularize the origin of the tune.During the palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first appearance of this song surprised everyone.It is said that the queen mother and the emperor were very happy and named it "Pinghuchun".

After listening to this person's popularization, Su Tiange suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a song at that time.When Fang Zhongan celebrated Mrs. Fang's birthday, someone once sent a few singers to celebrate her birthday, and they sang this song "Pinghuchun".

Hangcheng is not far from Jinling, so such royal affairs spread quickly.

The tune in the lobby was still singing, Su Tiange lit the tea in the cup with chopsticks, she frowned slightly when she heard the end of the sentence, and lost the tune.

"Stop, stop!" A young woman in red rushed out of the private room, with curved eyebrows, round eyes, and a delicate nose, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised and there was a look of disdain on her face. Ruined that pretty face.

"You sang it wrong! This song was composed by the eldest princess and praised by the emperor himself. You sang it like this. What crime should you do for tarnishing the royal reputation?"

This sudden scene shocked the singing woman to put down her pipa and knelt down to beg for mercy. The tea drinkers around looked at the woman in red, but they didn't know why, and said to themselves, who are you?It's also too wide.

"That's right, who is she? How does she know right from wrong?"

The woman in red got angry when she heard the discussion.She reached out and pulled out a whip from her waist, flicked it across the hall with a snap, and removed the teacup on the nearest table.The tea splashed all over the floor, and the shattered tiles bounced on the ground twice and fell on the back of the singer's hand, leaving a bloody mark.

"Girl, girl, we all drink tea, so why lose your interest." The boss who came up took a look at the material of the woman in red, and persuaded her.

"If she sang it wrong, she sang it wrong!" The woman refused to let go, as if the whip in her hand was about to be whipped on the singing woman in an instant.

"Xiyan!" A shout came from the stairs, the voice was neither high nor low, but it just suppressed the commotion in the entire lobby.A moon-white figure came up, with the light behind his back, people could not see his appearance clearly for a while, but the nobility all over his body could not be concealed.

Seeing the person coming, the woman in red shrank her neck slightly, quickly put away the whip in her hand and walked over, "Cousin, I got angry when I heard that she sang "Pinghuchun" wrongly."

"Which gentleman taught you to shoot and hurt people for a little thing?"

The man ignored the woman in red's explanation, and walked straight over to look at the kneeling woman.He stretched out his hand to help the girl up, "It was Sister She who hurt the girl impulsively, please don't be angry." Then he waved his hand, and a green cloth attendant came up from the stairs, and the attendant handed over a money bag.

"Girl, I'll give you this money to see a doctor. The singer hurt his hand. From now on, he won't be able to play the pipa very well."

"You come with me!"

He glanced back at the woman in red, turned around and walked into the private room just now, the woman in red pouted and moved into the room step by step.

"My lord, I think that girl was quite afraid of that lord just now." Ai Xiang took a sip of water, and made up several books about how a nobleman fell in love with an ordinary woman, "That lord is quite generous."

"Let's go." Su Tiange put down the chopsticks in her hand, paid the money and was about to leave. When she walked outside the room, she stopped slightly.She knew the son just now, or she had seen his portrait in Fang Zhongan's study.

Xiao Rui, the current third prince, is tolerant, low-key, generous and friendly. He is not a strong contender for the throne but has the best reputation among the many princes in Jinling.When the common people mentioned him, they would always say that he did not have the airs of a prince and all the bad habits of a dude.

Xiao Rui is here, so the woman in red should be Princess Xiyan.How could they come to Hangcheng?Just the two of them or someone else?
It was still early in the day, and Su Tiange took Ai Xiang out of the teahouse and went to the street next to her. She decided to find someone to ask about the place on the edge of the West Lake that was related to Xinghua Weiyu more than ten years ago.Passing by a bookstore, she went in and bought a county annals. After a quick search in the bookstore, she found no valuable information.

"Boss, are there any apricot blossom trees or local attractions related to apricot blossoms near us?"

The owner of the bookstore squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, "Apricot blossoms are quite common. There are apricot blossoms all over the West Lake in spring, but they just bloom and don't bear fruit."

Su Tiange thanked the boss and took Ai Xiang to the street. When she walked to a stall, she picked up a mirror and looked back over her shoulder.A person wrapped in a black cloak and hat flashed into the bookstore after they left. She looked familiar with that figure.

"Ai Xiang, remember the teahouse where we drank tea just now?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Ai Xiang became nervous when she heard Su Tiange's serious voice, and stopped walking.

"Keep going, remember what I said." Su Tiange put down the mirror and Ai Xiang continued to walk forward slowly, "There is a place for renting cruise ships behind the teahouse, now you go back to the inn to bring your things, and go there to rent a boat for a row Go to the island in the middle of the lake and wait for me there."

"Gu...Young Master, I..." Seeing Su Tiange's solemn expression, Ai Xiang swallowed back the second half of his hesitant words, and she just asked less and did more about things that the girl explained.Thinking of this, Ai Xiang nodded heavily, followed Su Tiange forward, and turned a corner at a fork in the road to take advantage of the flow of people.

Su Tiange turned around and entered the next shop, looking at the bookstore diagonally across the carved wooden lattice at the door.The man wrapped in a black cloak left the bookstore, first stood on the threshold and looked for the street for a while, then walked down the steps and came over.

Su Tiange leaned slightly sideways towards the door, just as the man in black came over, through the gap, Su Tiange saw the scar on the man's right ear.Her face was hidden in the fur collar, so she couldn't remember who the other party was.

"Young master, are you taking medicine or seeing a doctor? The doctor is in the back hall." A man suddenly appeared from behind and spoke, which made Su Tiange's heart skip a beat.She turned her head and saw a guy in gray, looking at her across the counter, with rows of medicine boxes behind him.

"I'll grab the medicine." Su Tiange pointed to the medicine box behind him, and asked for some herbs for clearing fire.

The clerk was busy grabbing the medicine, when there was the sound of chaotic footsteps at the door, as well as panicked shouts, all the way towards the pharmacy.Su Tiange didn't catch the medicine well, so a few people walked in from the door, and once they came in, they raised their voices and shouted: "Where is the doctor who is in the clinic, come with me!" The man showed his waist card while shouting .

Princess Palace.
