The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 42
Saying that, he looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down, and said with a smile: "It really looks much better now, let's go!"

Ye Zhaoqing quietly looked at Lin Xirong's innocent smile, and reached out to pick off the hairpin, but was stopped by Lin Xirong all of a sudden: "Sister Ye, I gave this to you! You don't think it's because you hate it." right?"

"How could it be?" Ye Zhaoqing put down his hands, took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Xirong and said with a smile: "This hairpin is pretty good, very beautiful, I like it very much."

"That's good." A big smile appeared on Lin Xirong's face.

At this time, Li Yu was looking at someone who left him and left with a face full of resentment, showing resentment.

At this moment, Murong stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let's go in too!"

Now, the only person who can wait for Li Yu and accompany him is the loyal Murong Jin.

"Go!" Li Yu said bitterly, then walked away.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Murong Jin say in a lowered voice: "The movement is fast enough! I didn't even dare to pull Xi Rong's little hand, Your Highness, you kissed her? This development speed is fast enough!" Hurry up!"

Li Yu staggered and almost fell to the ground!
"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Murong Jin quickly supported her with a concerned expression.

Li Yu looked like he had eaten a bowel movement, and his face turned red: "How did you know that?"

This is the admission.

Murong Jin's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the letter his elder brother replied to him, he didn't know what it was like.But the smile on his face was very happy: "Looking at His Highness's youthful appearance and slightly swollen red lips, I can naturally guess that, by the way, Your Highness, has your mouth been bitten by Miss Ye? I watched..."

"Shut up!" Li Yu was full of grief and anger, and said angrily, "If you dare to say one more word, I will break up with you!" As he spoke, he wiped his mouth fiercely, feeling very regretful in his heart.

At that time in the carriage, he only cared about Ye Zhaoqing getting dressed, how could he care about himself?
After hearing this, Murong Jin immediately stretched out his hand to cover his mouth tightly, for fear of making a sound.

Li Yu snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards Fengyang Tower with big strides.

Murong Jin hurriedly followed.

But ahead, Ye Zhaoqing and Lin Xirong had already entered Fengyang Tower.

"You don't go out very much on weekdays, so you don't know that this Fengyang Tower is the largest restaurant in the capital." Lin Xirong explained to Ye Zhaoqing in a low voice while walking.

Ye Zhaoqing walked and looked around, but he was a little puzzled: "But, why do I feel that this place looks like a certain person's house?"

Indeed, this restaurant has three entrances and three exits, and the houses in each place are very grand and magnificent. The courtyard in the middle has three floors. The courtyard is surrounded by green forests, artificial hills, and a stream. In fact, it is a fine house with exquisite construction.

"You're right." Lin Xirong smiled slightly and said, "This was originally an official's mansion, which was rewarded by the previous emperor. Beheading, in the end, because someone interceded, the whole family was exempted from the death penalty, but the yard was confiscated, and a few years later, it was sold to a rich family. The family had a son who was worthless, and the family business was ruined. It’s all gone, the house has changed hands, and finally it was transformed into this restaurant.”

"So it's like this." Ye Zhaoqing murmured, the dim light in the corridor made it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"Because of this reason, the business of this restaurant is very prosperous. It is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to visit the mansions of the court officials. Now, with this Fengyang Tower, they can see whatever they want. It's not too expensive." Lin Xirong said with a slight smile.

Ye Zhaoqing listened quietly, and didn't make a sound for a long time. Lin Xirong thought that she hadn't followed, and hurriedly turned her head to look at her. Seeing Ye Zhaoqing standing behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death."

"Should we wait for the two behind, or go upstairs first?" Ye Zhaoqing asked.

Lin Xirong stretched her head to look behind her, and saw the figures of Li Yu and Murong Jin appearing at the gate, she immediately said: "We are girls, it's too ostentatious to go with them, let's go in first! Mr. Murong is already upstairs I have booked a box, I know where it is, you follow me." Then, he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Zhaoqing: "Follow closely, don't get lost."

Ye Zhaoqing smiled, and went upstairs with Lin Xirong.

"I have been here with my elder brother and others before, so I am familiar with it. At that time, there was the son of Dingguo, but now he is the prince and grand tutor." Lin Xirong said as she walked, "Zhaoqing, you are the first Come here again?"

"Yes." Ye Zhaoqing nodded.

She glanced at Lin Xirong, and asked hesitantly: "The son of Duke Ding you mentioned, is Murong Jin's elder brother?"

"Yes!" Lin Xirong nodded, and said, "Who else can there be except him, and Murong Jin only has that one brother."

"However, he still has a younger sister. It is said that the Murong family also wants to send the younger sister to the palace to be the eldest prince's concubine." Lin Xirong suddenly turned around, gave Ye Zhaoqing a narrow look, and said with a smile: "You have to be careful." Point it out! Mrs. Dingguo has a friendship with Concubine Rong for more than 20 years! This little sister Murong is your formidable enemy."

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help but glanced at Lin Xirong with a wry smile and said, "Xirong, are you even starting to tease me now? A person like me, whose status is so different from that of the First Prince, has never thought about it in my whole life. Don’t have any relationship with him, do you remember?”

The smile on Lin Xirong's face froze, and she said cowardly: "Zhaoqing, I saw that the eldest prince was waiting for you just now, and you two came out together in a carriage, I thought..."

"I have nothing to do with him at all." Ye Zhaoqing interrupted her, and quickly said: "Xi Rong, people come and go here, not a place to talk, let's go in quickly!"

After hearing this, Lin Xirong nodded, looked at Ye Zhaoqing with some shame, and pulled her forward quickly.

The third floor was soon reached, and the two of them turned a corner and disappeared.

Standing on the stairs, Li Yu's face was livid as he quietly saw this scene in his eyes. He tried his best to control himself so that he didn't let himself rush up and beat Ye Zhaoqing severely!
Murong Jin was a little worried and said: "Your Highness, I don't think Miss Ye meant that. Your Highness likes her, and she will understand sooner or later..."

"Shut up!" Li Yu suddenly turned around and shouted at Murong Jin: "What does she mean by that? Are you turning your elbows out now and starting to speak for her? Let me tell you, next time I come out, I will He won't be called Lin Xirong!" As he said, he turned around and strode upstairs, the poor wooden stairs were pounding loudly, as if they would be scrapped and collapsed in a second.

Murong Jin, who had become cannon fodder for no reason, couldn't help touching his nose, wiped off the saliva that Li Yu sprayed on his face, and followed him helplessly.

It's better for him to stay away from him.Otherwise, even Lin Xirong will suffer.

In the box, just as Ye Zhaoqing sat down with Lin Xirong, the door was pushed open from the outside with a bang.

As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw Li Yu walking in with a face as black as a pan, and a storm seemed to be conceived in his eyes.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Lin Xirong stood up with a look of fear and said.

Li Yu turned a blind eye to her, walked over and sat down heavily at the table.

Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, then retracted his gaze, and took a sip of his teacup as if nothing had happened.

This is Xi Rong's special tea!

Li Yu looked at her calm and breezy, without knowing the pain in his heart, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves with hate, but looking at the flowery face in front of him, he couldn't bear to move a finger of her head.

Strictly speaking, Ye Zhaoqing is not the kind of beauty in the strict sense, at least not so beautiful that the country is overwhelmed. Compared with her sister Ye Xiangwan, she is not a star and a half behind, but Li Yu just thinks she is good-looking, interesting.

At least in his heart, there has never been any woman who can make him forget about food and drink, dream about him, and dream of him.Ye Zhaoqing was the first!
In front of the guest courtyard of the Jokhang Temple, the woman was as light as a swallow, avoiding the horseshoes of the wind.In front of Shengde Hall, that woman was so bold that she was not only not afraid of the tiger, but also let it out, almost frightening herself.In the courtyard of the abandoned princess, the woman was crying under the tree...

She doesn't even know the three obediences and four virtues, the women's precepts, and the etiquette followed by ordinary daughters, she doesn't abide by any of them, but she is like this, but it makes him want to stop as if possessed by a demon!
However, his heart has fallen like this, but she never takes him seriously. Whenever she meets him, her only reaction is to hide.

hide.

Does she hate herself so much?
Li Yu felt as if he had suffered a huge injury in his heart, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the door: "Come here! Bring the wine!"

Murong Jin happened to walk to the door, and upon hearing this, she turned around and told the waiter who was running over, "His Royal Highness likes to drink Zhuyeqing the most, go and get a jar."

"Take two altars!" Li Yu shouted loudly in the box.

Murong Jin was helpless when he heard this, and said to the clerk, "Listen to him!"

The buddy nodded, and backed away at a gallop.

Only then did Murong Jin straighten her robes and walked into the box, and closed the carved wooden door.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you? Didn't you come out to have fun? Why are you all crying?" Murong Jin approached, sat down on the seat next to Lin Xirong, stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile.

The most optimistic person is him.

Li Yu ignored him at all, and also ignored Ye Zhaoqing. After the waiter brought the wine, he immediately poured himself a big bowl, and drank it with a straight neck.

Murong Jin looked a little worried: "Your Highness, you can't drink like this! You have to go back to the palace at night! You will be drunk by then, and if the emperor finds out, he will reprimand you!"

"What's the scolding? It won't lose a piece of meat?" Li Yu snorted coldly and poured another bowl.

Seeing him eat three bowls, even Lin Xirong couldn't bear it anymore, she secretly glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, hoping she could persuade Li Yu.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhaoqing turned a blind eye to it. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table, knocked them slowly, and turned to her and asked, "Is there only drinking in this Fengyang Tower? What else can you do?"

Lin Xirong was helpless, but she could only answer: "Of course the people who come here don't just drink and drink tea. Do you see that window? Open it, and you can see the first floor. There are people downstairs playing dice, throwing pots, etc. Thousands of silver coins, the most important thing is..."

"Every first day of the first month, there will be people in this Fengyang Tower holding tea parties and poetry parties. It's not the kind of literati gathering together, but Fengyang Tower has brought out many peerless treasures and auctioned them here. As long as there is money, this building What can't you get here?" Murong Jin interjected, "Today happens to be the first day of junior high school, so we'll have a good show today."

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him with some surprise, and said: "You sons of aristocratic families, do you want anything at home, and still covet the things from Fengyang Tower? Can a restaurant still produce rare treasures?"

"You are right!" Murong Jin smiled slightly, and said, "This Fengyang Tower can really produce rare treasures! Last month, just here, the Prince of Hengyang spent 3 taels of silver , I bought a relic of Li Daqian, a painting fairy of the former dynasty, from here, and I don’t know how many people are envious!"

"Li Daqian's ruins?" Ye Zhaoqing was really surprised: "This is really a priceless treasure!" As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Xirong with some doubts, and said, "Whose hands did this house go to in the end? handwriting!"

Lin Xirong shook her head and said apologetically, "I don't know about that. The origin of the current owner of Fengyang Tower is a mystery. There are probably not many people in the capital who know him."

Murong Jin also shook his head, expressing that he didn't know. At this moment, Li Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Whether he becomes a mystery or a fairy! Since he opened a restaurant, he would be willing to degenerate himself. People, it is worth discussing like this!"

As soon as this remark came out, neither Ye Zhaoqing nor Lin Xirong dared to speak.

Murong Jin smiled slightly, reached for the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

When Li Yu saw it, he scolded immediately: "Why do you look like a woman! You are a big man, and there is a wine jar in front of you, and you actually went to drink tea!"

"Sorry, Your Highness, I have been feeling cold recently, and the doctor said that I can only rest in rest and not drink alcohol." Murong Jin said still in a good-tempered manner.

Li Yu watched what he was about to say, at this moment, there was a sudden thud, and the door of the private room was opened.

A thick scent of makeup rushed into the box, Li Yu couldn't stand the smell, and immediately sneezed.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw several women standing at the door of the box, the first one, with a charming face and a graceful figure, who else could it be if it wasn't Fang Zhilin?

A look of anger appeared on Li Yu's face, and he stood up immediately, but before he could ask, Fang Zhilin rushed in.

"Cousin! Why didn't you tell me when you came to Fengyang Tower?"

Fang Zhilin saw the right direction and aimed at Li Yu's arms, but when she rushed over, what she encountered was not a soft and firm body, but a cold long sword!
The sword has been unsheathed, shining coldly.

"Ah!" Fang Zhilin screamed suddenly, and stumbled back a few steps, her exquisite face was full of disbelief: "Cousin! You want to kill me?"

"Killing you would make my sword dirty!" Li Yu inserted the long sword into the scabbard, gave Fang Zhilin a cold look, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't come near me!" One foot away! You can’t remember, can you? It seems that I need to find your father..."

"Cousin don't want it!" Fang Zhilin heard the words with a frightened expression on her face: "Cousin, I don't dare!"

Li Yu snorted coldly, and finally stopped getting angry.

Fang Zhilin came over in a hurry, but saw Ye Zhaoqing sitting beside Li Yu, her complexion sank, she grabbed Ye Zhaoqing's arm and pulled it, and said sharply: "Stay away from my cousin, you loser!" ! Who told you to sit here!"

Fang Zhilin's strength was great, and Ye Zhaoqing immediately felt pain in her arm. Fortunately, she didn't like to sit in this seat, so she followed her pull and stood up. The ninja said painfully to Li Yu and the others: "Your Highness, sit down, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he turned around and backed out.

Li Yu looked at the pain in her eyes, and he knew better than anyone else that Fang Zhilin was pinching her with a dead hand just now, and an indescribable anger rose in his heart, and he wanted to slap Fang Zhilin immediately. Lynn slaps me a few times!

However, when he thought of what Ye Zhaoqing said to Lin Xirong on the stairs just now, the anger in his heart was gradually extinguished.

That's fine, let this ignorant woman suffer a bit!Only in this way will she know who is really good to her!
After Ye Zhaoqing withdrew, she found a tea room in the corridor. She rolled up her sleeves, and saw several long cuts on her white arms that were as white as jade.

This Fang Zhilin is really ruthless!
Ye Zhaoqing sighed, took out the ointment and rubbed it on the wound, and straightened his clothes again.

She was dawdling because she refused to go back to the box.

But at this moment in the private room, because of her departure, Li Yu's expression turned a little colder.

Fang Zhilin sat excitedly on the seat vacated by Ye Zhaoqing, glanced at Li Yu delicately, picked up the jug and poured wine for him: "Cousin, if it wasn't for a friend who happened to be in Fengyang Building Li, I didn't know that cousin you came too!"

"Are you following me?" Li Yu glanced at Fang Zhilin, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and his tone was very cold: "Did I say you can sit here? Get up!"

"Cousin!" Fang Zhilin sat on the seat without moving, her face was full of grievances: "She can sit, why can't I?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Get up!" Li Yu spoke again, his voice still cold.

Murong Jin saw that he was on the verge of breaking out, so she kindly said, "Miss Fang, your cousin is in a bad mood right now, just listen to him and sit aside now! At least, he didn't kick you out of this box. no?"

"Who are you? You deserve to teach me a lesson?" Fang Zhilin's eyes were high above her head, and she didn't take Murong Jin into her eyes at all. Hearing this, she snorted coldly, and when she turned to face Li Yu, her face was shy "Cousin, my aunt said yesterday that we want you and me to get along more, aren't you going to listen to her, cousin?"

Murong Jin had a bad nose, couldn't help but smiled wryly and bowed his head to drink, well, you're looking for death, you can't blame others for it!
"You dare to bring out my mother and concubine to suppress me?" Li Yu was furious to the extreme, but his voice was surprisingly calm.

Fang Zhilin smiled like a flower: "Look at what my cousin said, how can this be bullying?"

"roll!"

A simple and rude rolling character represented all the thoughts in Li Yu's mind at the moment.

The smile on Fang Zhilin's face disappeared suddenly, and her face was rather embarrassed. If someone else treated her like this, she would have served him with big ears, and let the servants of the mansion beat him to death!
But this person is Li Yu, the cousin she has loved since she was a child, and the one who will inherit the throne and be the lord of the world in the future, how can she beat him?
"Cousin..." Fang Zhilin begged in a low voice, she finally saw her cousin, she didn't want to leave!

"Do you want me to do it myself and throw you out..." Li Yu was only halfway through when he heard a sound at the door. His heart moved, and the words on his mouth became: "Since you beg so much, then Cousin will give you face, you sit down!"

"Really? Cousin, that's great!" Fang Zhilin was so excited that she almost passed out!
When Murong Jin on the side heard this, her eyeballs were about to pop out of shock!He was still waiting to see how Li Yu threw Fang Zhilin out!
I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!
This fellow turned a corner when his words reached his lips!

Murong Jin knew Li Yu so well. The two of them grew up wearing a pair of pants. He knew exactly what Li Yu was thinking.

He knew that there must be other reasons for Li Yu to do this.

The next moment, the door of the box opened from the outside, and Ye Zhaoqing walked in slowly with his head down.

No wonder.

Murong Jin showed a suddenly realized expression, and greeted Ye Zhaoqing enthusiastically: "Miss Ye, you are back? Come, sit here! Your seat is taken by Miss Fang."

"Thank you, Mr. Murong." Ye Zhaoqing nodded, walked over and sat down generously.

Murong Jin graciously brought her the teacup and tableware, and brought over the half-eaten melon seeds that Ye Zhaoqing had eaten.

He was smiling happily when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. No need to look, Li Yu's expression must be very stiff at the moment.

Murong Jin turned her head and smiled at Li Yu, then shrugged.

I tell you that you always like to tear down my platform on weekdays, and I tell you to try this feeling today!

Sure enough, Li Yu was extremely upset at the moment!
The insidious and despicable Murong Jin dared to do this!Let's see how he will deal with him when he goes back!
He completely forgot how he played tricks on Murong Jin before.

As soon as Ye Zhaoqing came back, the atmosphere changed immediately.

Fang Zhilin is arrogant and rude, and arrogant, but it doesn't mean she has no brains. Looking at the interaction between Li Yu and Murong Jin, how could she not see the tricks in it?A wave of nameless anger rose, and she almost wanted to rush over and tear Ye Zhaoqing's face into pieces!Let's see if she dares to seduce her cousin!
However, Fang Zhilin soon thought that if she did this, Li Yu would definitely deal with her in the same way, or even worse!

How will she handle herself then?Cousin is someone that even her father doesn't pay much attention to!If he died, the Fang family really couldn't do anything to Li Yu. On the contrary, their family relied on Li Yu.
