Chapter 46 Plum Appreciation
Meitingxuan is similar to a private house-style garden. After entering, there are many evergreen trees standing on the paths or pavilions, which is rare in the cold north.
When he came, Ji Rongjin was surprised that plum blossoms usually bloom in late winter or early spring, probably around February of the following year. What kind of plum blossoms are there now in November? It seems that they are just taking advantage of the name of plum blossom viewing.
Sure enough, after walking through the evergreen avenue, we arrived at a pavilion. To the north of the pavilion, there were a patchwork of rugged plum trees, with small flowers standing in the cold wind, and a faint fragrance flowing quietly in the air.
Really good.
King Qi and his entourage were respectfully welcomed into the pavilion by the garden attendants. It was a twin pavilion with a large space. Except for the entrance, all other sides were blocked by thick curtains. There was a brazier inside, the fire was red, the heat was radiating, and it was as warm as
spring.
Stepping up the steps, Ji Rongjin found that there were already many people sitting in the pavilion, including male guests and female guests. When they saw King Qi coming, except for King Zhao and King Chu, everyone stood up and came over to salute.
Ji Rongjin knew a few of the male guests, such as King Zhao and others, but she didn't know any of the other virgin guests. Moreover, wherever there were women, there were wars, and she didn't want to deal with these people.
It really comes to whatever you want.
"Cousin..." The two words were full of coquettish willfulness and coquettishness to please. Hearing the word "cow", Ji Rongjin secretly gave a thumbs up and looked at the visitor calmly. This is the rumored granddaughter of the Chinese government - Yuan Zizhi.
Bar.
Yan Tao frowned, but before he could say anything, the Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Zhi Niang has been working hard recently, so she should go out and have fun, don't you think so, Third Brother?"
Everyone looked at the king of Chu, Yanxu, who was in charge. He acted like he was the eldest brother. He glanced at Lao Qi and was very dissatisfied with him for bringing the "outer chamber" and didn't look good on him.
King of Chu?
Didn't the last fight between King Chu and King Qi in the restaurant happen on the same occasion? Why did they appear at the same time again? Ji Rongjin secretly guessed, has something happened recently that she hasn't heard about yet?
Yan Tao pretended not to notice it, except for the impatience in his eyes and a slight smile.
Everyone knows that this matter is over.
Yuan Zizhi seemed to be taking advantage of her, "Cousin..." Her eyes fixed on Yan Tao could melt people.
Yan Tao glanced at her lightly: "Sit down."
Yuan Zizhi felt aggrieved because her cousin was lukewarm to her and just wanted to complain.
Yan Tao glanced at him almost invisible. Yuan Zizhi was shocked and for a moment she didn't dare to act coquettishly anymore. She stood beside him obediently, but right next to him stood Ji Rongjin, the "outer room".
Squeeze her blatantly.
Ji Rongjin was just thinking about how to respond to the 'suitable' Yan Tao move, when his side suddenly became empty.
Ji Rongjin patted her heart secretly. It seemed that her "outer wife" was a thorn in Yuan Qianjin's side. Hey, it came out in vain today.
She didn't even notice that at the end of the crowd of people saluting, there was also a young lady with a vicious gaze hidden in her lowered eyebrows, making her want to eat her.
Ji Rongjin went with the flow, either saluting or nodding and smiling, as long as he didn't make any big mistakes.
The attendant waited respectfully beside Yan Tao, as if waiting for something. Ji Rongjin thought she was waiting for King Qi to order tea, but King Qi stared at her.
She almost said that I drank green tea, but she thought that was wrong. In ancient times, there was a strict hierarchy, but few gentlemen would let a lady order tea first. She asked him with a rather puzzled look, "What's the matter with Your Highness?"
The young lady has no consciousness of serving others. There are two situations for an unmarried young lady who does not know how to serve others. One is that she was born in a rural area and no one has taught her. The other is that she has been so rich that she does not know how to serve others.
It just so happened that she had experienced both of these. From one extreme to the other, her life was really exciting. Yan Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stared at her with a half-smile.
With so many people watching, Kangtai saw that Mrs. Ji had no intention of taking off His Highness's cloak, and he immediately made a gesture towards her anxiously.
Poor Ji Rongjin was born and grew up under the * banner. She had served people before, but she didn't realize that as a "concubine" when she went out, she had to undress men like a servant, hand over handkerchiefs, etc.
"..." Ji Rongjin felt Kang Tai's eyes and asked quietly, what on earth does His Highness want to do?
Against the gaze of everyone, Kangtai raised the wide sleeve of his left hand to cover his right hand, pointed at the large cloak on Yan Tao, and quickly took it off for His Highness and hung it up for the waiter.
Ji Rongjin finally understood. To help him take off his cloak, wouldn't it require close contact? To act to this extent? She hesitated but did not take action.
Time was very slow, as if it had stopped; and it seemed very fast, and it was so fast that Yan Tao reached out and grabbed Ji Rongjin, and she didn't even have time to blink, and she threw herself into Yan Tao's arms.
Uh...the two of them went from being three steps away to being inseparable in an instant.
According to common sense, Ji Rongjin should instinctively push away a certain man. The fact is that she immediately understood the purpose of Yan Tao bringing her here - to act and block his cousin's 'arrow of love'. He could not make her give up.
Married.
Modern people all know that cousins are close relatives and cannot form a couple. Only the ancients believed that getting closer and closer to each other was a great good thing. They did not know that the wealth would not go to outsiders, or that powerful forces joined forces, but they did not know the hidden dangers of fertility.
In front of everyone, Ji Rongjin raised his hands and gently untied the black mink fur cloak of King Qi Yantao. He was pure and fresh but not losing his beauty. He stood in front of the handsome and handsome King Qi, with bright eyes, black hair, and red lips. The most important thing was that
She bows her head coquettishly.
King Qi Yantao kept his eyes lowered, his gaze always falling on the 'outer room' in front of him, gentle and patient.
In the pavilion, the eyes of men and women were attracted to them. King Qi was dressed in purple, with a tall and tall body. He clearly had a very oppressive and aggressive heroic appearance. Standing in front of the young lady, his eyebrow lines were unexpectedly soft and coordinated.
Wearing a lady's cloak, she looks like a gentle and steady warm man, exuding a calm and restrained charm that is irresistible.
In the eyes of outsiders, the behavior between the two looked like flirting, which made the ladies in the pavilion feel sour and jealous.
Behind the crowd, Lu Xiuer's fingernails hidden in her sleeves were almost cut off. Bitch...bitch...why can't you die!
The dog food was finally spread in front of everyone. Ji Rongjin felt that she should win the best performance award. It was easy for her.
Standing in the corner next to Yan Tao, listening to the bustle in the pavilion, Ji Rongjin was a little confused. It was obvious that none of these people had brought any concubines or concubines with them, so why should he?
According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, his behavior would be punished by the Yushitai. What on earth did King Qi Yantao want from her?
Listening, Ji Rongjin seemed to understand why King Chu appeared in the plum blossom viewing pavilion today. The warships were used by civilians. King Qi not only made a lot of money by using the prince's marriage, but also rationalized the return of the warships that were used by civilians.
In his hands, it becomes a tool for him to make money.
The king of Chu is in charge of the household department. Originally, the income had to be obtained by him, but now he can't.
King Zhao is in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the warships that were not used before will be sent to the Ministry of Works, but now there is no use for them.
The two legitimate sons of Daxia Dynasty sat together again.
The young ladies didn't seem to notice the undercurrent among the men at all. They were restrained by the men and did not dare to chatter. Someone suggested going out to enjoy plum blossoms.
