Biting her lip, Zhang Qi suddenly moved.
She walked out of the darkness and drilled in the direction of King Guangling.
Its hard for Zhang Yi to get in when Guangling King is surrounded by nuns and maidservants.
After a few low shouts, Zhang Qi finally stood in front, her head lit by the red lanterns above, and on her left side, the burning fire reflected, a small white face appeared exceptionally clear under the bright light.
The King of Guangling was speaking when he suddenly glanced up and caught sight of a familiar face.
That face was deathly pale and gazed at him with a desperate and pleading look!
These eyes!
The King of Guangling glanced at her and slowly closed his mouth.
Everyone was listening with great interest, but he suddenly stopped talking. A young cowherd asked, "Who is that girl?" "Why did the King of Guangling refuse to continue?"
The Prince of Guangling smiled slightly, his voice lazy and somewhat tired under the canopy, "A southern girl, a talented lady from a noble family, its better not to say anything."
As soon as this was said, a burst of laughter erupted, and a strange voice with an unusual tone said: "Which girl in Jiankang is absolutely beautiful? How could we not know? The King of Guangling was just trying to fool us."
His tone was unpleasant, but Guangling just smiled and neither confirmed nor denied it, continuing to move forward.
She saw him off into the feast, and Zhang Gui once again disappeared into the darkness. She reached out to press her own chest, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
Fortunately, he was as remembered, a broad-minded person... seeing his own expression, whether or not he understood, he didnt say anything more.
Fortunately, I attended this banquet and stopped him in time.
It was just dawn then.
All the lanterns lit up at this moment, the lanterns and wine fragrance, smoked red the beautys cheeks. The originally quiet girls, quietly showed their most beautiful side. And a group of young men, also shifted their attention from the King of Guangling, gazing at the girls emerging from various parts of the garden.
Zhang Jin stood in a corner, her beautiful eyes following Xiao Mos figure. Behind her, several girls occasionally glanced at her with mocking gazes.
Seeing Zhang Jin was not paying attention to himself, Zhang Qi bit her lip and came to the several cases placed everywhere in the garden. This kind of case, every family in Jiankang would prepare for banquets. On it were placed the Four Treasures of the Study, and next to the case, some zithers, shengs, and huqins were also arranged, all for the use of the young masters and misses when they felt like playing.
Seeing no one below, Zhang Gui picked up a piece of paper from the table and quickly wrote a sentence. Then he rolled up the paper and retreated back into the darkness.
She took a last look at the prosperous place, and quietly walked out of Xiao Fu. At this time, people were coming and going in Xiao Fu, but when Zhang Gui walked out, those gatekeepers didnt even give her a glance.
Arriving at a place five hundred paces from the main gate, where carriages were parked, Zhang Gui finally found the carriage of the Qi State Envoy.
At this moment, a footstep came, and at the same time, a guards low voice came, "Your Majesty, these southerners are so arrogant!"
Another guard coldly said: "This Chen State occupies a place no bigger than a palm, yet they have such big mouths!"
After a while, the calm voice of Guangling Wang came, "The Han people in the south have always been like this. They talk about retirement and marriage, still looking at their family tree to discuss their ancestors... How can we expect them to have self-awareness?"
There is an indifference in his tone that doesnt even bother with criticism.
Just then, one of the guards suddenly shouted in the Jiankang dialect: "Whos there?"
In the midst of the cheers, he quickly took a few steps forward and swiftly drew out the sword from his waist. With a "whooshing" sound, he lifted open the curtain of Prince Guanglings carriage!
A simple and clean face of a young girl appeared before the three people amidst the swaying carriage curtains.
I didnt expect it to be such a small southern girl, and the two guards were both stunned. In the faint light of the fire, this little girl in front of me had watery eyes, with a white and tender face on her forehead, looking both delicate and clear, and inexplicably lovely.
Its still not open yet.
The guards were taken aback for a moment, and then furrowed their brows. One of the guards coldly shouted: "Little girl, youre still too young, the Prince of Guangling wont be pleased."
Seeing this guard, she thought he had come to make a private appointment. Zhang Guis face turned red, and she glared at the guard with hatred, then turned her gaze towards Prince Guangling.
Biting her lip, seeing that no one was looking this way, Zhang Gui quickly pulled out a piece of paper from her bosom. Handing over the paper, Zhang Gui looked at Prince Guangling seriously and said in a low, crisp voice: "Someone wants to harm you, they will make their move when you leave Jiankang."
I thought you wouldnt be back so soon, I was just about to put this note in your carriage.
One of the guards took the note from her and looked at it briefly before putting it in his pocket, asking: "What kind of people are they? How many guards did you bring?"
Zhang Qi shook her head and said in a low voice: "I dont know."
Just as she said this, her chin felt warm, and a large hand stretched out, lifting up her chin.
At some point, the King of Guangling was already standing in front of the carriage, blocking her way down. He lifted up her chin and carefully examined her face under the moonlight and the distant lamplight.
He leaned in so close, his breath sprayed onto her face.
Zhang Qis face turned red with shame and anger, she glared at him and said in a low voice: "Stay away from me!" As soon as she said this, she felt it wasnt right, so she lowered her voice and said clearly: "Just now in the garden, you didnt mention that I was coming... Zhang Qi had nothing to repay you with, so she revealed this news to you."
As she said this, her bright eyes stared at him without blinking.
She was just a delicate and transparent little girl, but her eyes at this moment had an inexplicable coldness and calmness that made people unable to understand.
The King of Guangling was still staring at her.
He slowly stroked her chin with his index finger, completely ignoring Zhang Qis blushing anger. He sized her up and whispered, "Its been only a few months since we last met... the change is even greater than I imagined. Just now, your hair covered your face, which completely concealed your beauty, making you look like an intelligent young lady. What a pity..." He didnt continue speaking.
Just now the whole scene was full of splendor, but only this little girl was dressed in a way that made her unnoticeable like a maid. Of course, its because she wanted to conceal herself, and also because she wasnt favored in the family, I suppose?
She is also not easy, right?
He slowly released her chin.
As soon as she got free, Zhang Gui hastily shifted to the side. She looked down and wanted to jump off the carriage, but the way was blocked by the King of Guangling, so she had to give up.
Quietly shrinking into a corner, Zhang Yi raised her head to look at the Prince of Guangling and bowed slightly in the carriage, saying softly and politely: "Its getting late, I should take my leave."
The King of Guangling was still looking at her.
When Zhang Qi felt a little anxious, he smiled slightly and stepped back to the side.
Zhang Qi hastily jumped down from the horse carriage.
She was about to rush out when the Prince of Guangling suddenly said: "Zhang Shi Aqi?"
She didnt expect him to still remember her name, Zhang Qis footsteps stiffened. She suddenly turned her head around.
Looking at the stars and moon, this man who still wore a hood to cover his face, no matter how miserable he was today, would later be famous throughout the land. She almost blurted out: "Let me follow you."
But she didnt say that: this man in front of her, destined to attract strong winds throughout his life, she couldnt get too close.
In the moonlight, they gaze at each other.
