Lady Zhao

Chapter 66

The Yanji Building in the capital, the leader of the fireworks, all of the flower girls are exquisite and charming, long-sleeved and good at dancing, attracting countless men to spend all their pockets, just for that moment of pleasure.

Compared with the high consumption, the decorations and guards in the building are also first-class. Behind the bustard, there seems to be a great backer, who has a set of rules for doing business. It's true that doing things like this has offended many people, but it's not a skill to be able to secure the capital.

Ruan Bustard, who was wearing brightly colored clothes, saw the young gentlemen walking towards the building, and greeted them with a smile. You don't look very good, young master?" After speaking, his eyes turned around Zhao Yuanjin's face, and he pointed out something.

Zhao Yuanjin stayed in the mansion for several days, it was rare that it was Huainan Princess' nephew's birthday today, and he brought him out under the pretext of having a good time. Hearing Ruan Bustard's words, he hid his heart and put on a teasing smile. , "With good wine to taste, accompanied by a beautiful woman, your complexion will naturally be fine."

Ruan Bustard smiled and agreed, so she took them to the private room on the second floor. The design of the building was ingenious. It seemed that there were more princes, nobles and dignitaries who came, and it was quite private, and Zhao Yuanjin needed this kind of privacy. , Self-care led the people into the private room where they were accustomed to sitting, lit Ruyan to accompany them, and let the redundant people wait to retreat.

The small carved window is wide open, allowing you to have a panoramic view of the scene downstairs without seeming noisy.Like smoke playing the qin, Zhao Yuanjin finally regained a bit of pleasure while drinking, the accompanying people all looked forward to him, and naturally coaxed him, knowing that he was depressed, they poured wine in different ways to make him happy.

Zhao Yuanjin opened his mouth to drink. When the wine was in his thirties, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure downstairs. He blinked his eyes and took a closer look. It was indeed Wang Bowen. The latter didn't push away either, and drank the wine in silence, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Tsk, how noble is Tao, so he is also a romantic one." Zhao Yuanjin snorted and said, feeling inexplicably happy that his mother often used this person's standard to teach himself.

Hearing the words, the dude next to him poked his head down, looked at the person, and smiled, "He, this is using wine to drown his sorrows. Since your elder brother entered the Imperial Academy, his life is not easy. What happened? Not to mention the fact that the two were classmates, so they will inevitably be compared, and the matter of Miss Wang's family is talked about, so the big brother is naturally shameless, so it's hard to mix it up .”

Zhao Yuanjin squinted his eyes when he heard the words, looked at people with a bit of drunkenness, looked at the corner of his mouth and smiled, and kicked the corner of the stool of the person next to him, "Go, invite that prince to come up, just say this Young Master invites him to drink."

"Okay." The man complied, and after a while, he came to Wang Bowen's side and muttered. The latter followed his words and looked towards the elegant seat on the second floor. Zhao Yuanjin stood in front of the window, smiling meaningfully.Wang Bowen hesitated for a moment, then followed the others upstairs.

When Zhao Yuanjin waited for someone, he didn't stick to his friends to have fun, and let people go to have fun on their own, leaving only Ruyan playing the piano to accompany him, and invited Wang Bowen to sit down.

"Brother Wang, it's boring to drink alone. Come on, my little brother will accompany you." Zhao Yuanjin called him as his brother, showing his closeness.

Wang Bowen didn't have a good impression of the Zhao family, but he had heard of the Second Young Master Zhao who seemed to be often compared with Zhao Wenli. This person in front of him seemed to be quite different from Zhao Yuanli. With the self-willed depravity of indulging in wine and sex, he guessed that the reason for calling himself up was all because of one person who was in the same disease and sympathized with each other.

"If you have any advice from Mr. Zhao, you might as well just say it."

"Brother Wang, why are you so cautious? It's natural to come to this kind of place to relax your mind. It's so boring to be tense. Come on, I'll do it first as a respect, and it's... to apologize to you for my elder brother!" Zhao Yuanjin held up his wine glass, smiling Poked on purpose with a non-smile.

Wang Bowen's complexion was a little bad at the moment, and he heard Zhao Yuanjin sigh, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid Brother Wang's feelings are the clearest, compared to Brother Wang... I am in that situation all the time. Under pressure."

After all, he couldn't hide his sorrow and drank a cup.Wang Bowen was not satisfied because of this, and seeing Zhao Yuanjin's frustrated appearance did not seem to be fake, he gradually relaxed his guard, and instead of touching a glass, he started to drink.

The sound of the zither seemed distant and near, sweet and ethereal, the two of them unconsciously drank too much, and spoke with confidence. They made no secret of their resentment towards Zhao Yuanli, and they both wanted to step Zhao Yuanli back under their feet again.Seeing that both of them were drunk and their status was outstanding, Ruyan called another flower girl to help Wang Bowen to the next room, while she stayed to wait on Zhao Yuanjin.

The room was lit with incense to help love, and Zhao Yuanjin forgot his mother's entrustment early after drinking high, with a warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms, there was no reason not to do something, with a wicked smile, he embraced Ruyan and fell bed.

When the two woke up, they got together again, ordered a pot of tea, and sat in a private room.After a while, I saw the Huaniangs who were left to serve were kicked out one by one. The Huaniang was extremely disappointed with a sad face. I don't know what the remaining two talked about. , in a good mood, got into the carriage and went home separately.

Zhao Yuanli was on duty in the Imperial Academy every day, leaving early and returning late, which was very regular.

Only occasionally being pestered by Yongping, he missed the time to go home.Because of his lively nature, Yongping was loved very much, and he was quite eccentric. After learning that Zhao Yuanli was on duty in the Imperial Academy, he often went in and out pretending to be various people in the palace. Gong'e, who delivered meals to Qianqian students in a food box, sometimes wore brocade robes as if she was a newcomer to the Hanlin Academy, just to get a better look at Zhao Yuanli.

I don't know why, obviously no one saw it, but Zhao Yuanli was able to catch him back, and he couldn't help preaching, Yongping naturally went in one ear and out the other, and next time he tossed about himself 'unrecognizable'.Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Zhao Yuanli rarely got angry, and told him not to mess around like this again, Xu Shi looked too serious, Yongping stopped his usual laughter, and stared at him for a long time with a pair of deer eyes, extremely aggrieved, He pursed his lips and ran away.

Zhao Yuanli stared blankly at Yongping Qiran's back, his eyes filled with sadness.It's just that she is a princess of the dynasty after all, with a noble status and a young age, if she is found out, it will not be good for her reputation.For two days in a row, Yongping really didn't show up again.

Zhao Yuanli occasionally tidied up the books and always felt that something was missing in his heart. When he came to his senses, he saw the bell ringing, and it was time to leave the palace.

The winter night is good, so the superiors arranged for the servants to light the lamps to guide the adults out of the palace every day. The colleagues of the Imperial Academy saw Zhao Yuanli walking slowly and knew his physical condition, so they asked with concern, "Is he unwell?"Zhao Yuanli said with a faint smile that it was all right, with a hint of astringency on the corner of his mouth, it turned out that he was used to the side of the man before he left the palace.

The servant holding the lamp was waiting outside, and when the adults came out in twos and threes, he would hold the lantern and follow the pace to lead the way. The last servant holding the lamp was a little father-in-law with a very distinctive appearance. The pretty Liwo glanced at it and then lowered her head, her body was tilted, and she looked at the burning candles in the paper lanterns with a bit of boredom.

The colleagues who accompanied Zhao Yuanli had only been in the Imperial Academy for only two days, and had received advice from Zhao Yuanli, so they were very close.This day, I wanted to discuss more knowledge matters with Brother Zhao when I left the palace. The two came out side by side. Walk on foot and lead the way for the two of them.

The new colleague eagerly chatted with Zhao Yuanli, "Brother Zhao, what do you think of that book?"

Zhao Yuanli didn't answer, but the new colleague turned his head and saw that brother Zhao looked out of his mind, staring at the little father-in-law's back in front of him with black eyes, and scratched his head inexplicably. A little weird.

"Brother Yang, I forgot something and need to get it back. You go out of the palace first, and we will discuss it together some other day."

Colleague Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then bowed politely, "Okay, Brother Zhao, please feel free."

Zhao Yuanli returned to the original road. Colleague Yang thought that the little eunuch would still hold the lamp in front. For some reason, he suddenly stood upright with his slender waist, and then turned around and stuffed the dimly lit lantern into him. Tongliao Yang was stunned, looked at the suddenly many lanterns in his hand, and then looked at the two figures walking away, his mouth couldn't help opening a lot, and after a moment of distraction, the two figures suddenly disappeared , he rubbed his eyes, a gust of cold wind penetrated into his clothes, it was so strange, although he was very curious but didn't dare to explore it, so he had to hurry towards the palace gate with the lantern.

Here, Yongping chased after him, and came to a rockery. Zhao Yuanli turned around suddenly, and pulled Yongping into the darkness of the rockery. Yongping was caught off guard and fell into a familiar warm embrace. The cold body seemed to be suddenly wrapped and penetrated by warm spring water, and the whole body was warmed up.

The sky is getting darker, and the surroundings are getting darker. Yongping nestled in his arms and closed his eyes peacefully, enjoying this unbelievable moment to the fullest. Now she is being hugged by Big Brother Yuan Li.

That gentle voice slowly sounded from the top of your head, "Princess, is this really worth it for you?"

Zhao Yuanli's voice was trembling with emotion, but it was still gentle. He actually avoided Yongping on purpose in the past few days, as if he was angry with her that day. Zhao Yuanli didn't think he was unworthy of the princess, but... just Yongping is still too young.

He will be eighteen in a year, human feelings are cold and warm, and he has experienced the throbbing of a young boy's first love, but at that time he believed in the wrong person. He crawled out of the mire, and now he cheers up and is not afraid of feelings. When it came, he even looked forward to it, but he never thought that the person would be a noble princess.

Now Yongping is only thirteen, which is the age of first love, he is slightly infatuated with him, he understands that maybe the princess will lose his eyes for a while, and miss the beautiful forest in front of him.

Yongping raised his face, his cheeks were flushed red, blinked his beautiful and agile eyes, and called out in a low voice, "Brother Yuanli..." She was so happy that she didn't even hear what Zhao Yuanli was asking her.

Zhao Yuanli laughed helplessly, took off the cloak on his body and put it on with her, "It's too cold, the princess should go back to rest early."

She stretched out her arm and tugged at his sleeve, "Then will you drive me away?"

Zhao Yuanli hesitated for a moment, then shook his head lightly.

Yongping grinned brightly, and tiptoed boldly to kiss Zhao Yuanli's cheek, "Brother Yuanli, I miss you, have you missed me these two days?" Yongping didn't dare to listen to the answer, and after asking this The sentence ran away very quickly.

Zhao Yuanli was left stunned, the scent lingered on the tip of his nose, warm and mellow like an intoxicating dream.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a wry smile.

If he didn't want to, he wouldn't have done such an outrageous thing today.
