The third day of May in the twenty-third year of Zhaohua.

night.

A crescent Emei moon hangs high in the sky, with stars dotted beside it.

Li Chenan was originally practicing the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue in the tavern, but Mr. Wu hurried over and took him to Peach Blossom Villa, saying that the third lady wanted to see him for something.

In the backyard of Peach Blossom Villa, there is a waterfall viewing pavilion.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the water in Nalian Falls was much stronger than before.

As a result, the misty rain and mist became thicker, and even the waterfall viewing pavilion was shrouded in the mist.

The light from the red lanterns in the waterfall viewing pavilion has also become much dimmer.

When Li Chenan arrived at the waterfall viewing pavilion, Zhongli Ruoshui was sitting there alone, looking up at the waterfall in a daze.

He walked over and came to Zhong Li Ruoshui's side, and saw that the look on her face was a little sad, without the carefree and happy look of the girl in the past.

The mist fell on the tips of her hair and between her brows.

The girl was a little lost, and smiled forcefully when she looked at Li Chenan.

"I'm leaving Guangling City for a while."

Li Chenan was startled and sat opposite her.

"Where to go?"

"Go to Kyoto."

Li Chenan frowned and his heart sank:

"...The second prince really wants to propose marriage to Zhongli Mansion?"

"Grandma didn't mention this in her letter to me, but... grandma asked me to go to Kyoto, and I will go now."

"I mentioned our affairs in a letter to grandma. Grandma did not object in the letter. Instead, she said that I did a good job."

"She said that she also heard your name in Kyoto. After Mr. Hua arrived in Kyoto, he invited six great Confucians from Taiyuan College and Imperial College to appreciate your two words and that poem."

"Grandma said that after receiving my letter, she specially invited Mr. Hua to visit her house and asked about your situation in detail."

"Of course Mr. Hua has great praise for you. He also said that the re-ranking of "Ning's Collection of Poems and Poems" will be started soon. After the discussion is passed, "One Hundred Collection of Ning's Poems and Poems" will be reprinted, and your

Two words and one poem will be included in this masterpiece."

Zhong Liruo was leaning on the white jade table with his elbows, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at Li Chenan, his big eyes blinking.

"According to my original thought, after grandma read my letter and learned about your talent, she should have asked me to take you to Kyoto to meet her. But grandma's reply did not mention it.

It would be a bit weird for me to go to Kyoto alone..."

"My father came here this morning, and I realized that my father had written a letter to grandma earlier than me."

"Father said that grandma mentioned the current situation in Kyoto in her reply to him. Zhongli Mansion is not willing to participate in the struggle for imperial power, but Zhongli Mansion is a very important pawn in this struggle."

"So, Prime Minister Ji has been to Dingguo Houfu in Yujing City many times."

"Of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have also been there many times."

"It's just that grandma and grandpa either avoided it in advance, or used the excuse that the current emperor is still alive to pass them by."

"Just a few days before grandma replied to the letter, Concubine Ji also went to Dingguo Hou's Mansion once... She mentioned the second prince's intention... Don't take it to heart. This kind of thing is usually normal in a noble family.

I will definitely not agree."

Li Chenan nodded and asked with some worry: "What is your grandma's opinion?"

"My grandma definitely doesn't want me to marry into the palace. After all, she even refused the marriage proposal from Duke Cheng's Palace."

Li Chenan thought carefully, "Then when you go to Kyoto, your grandma is protecting you. As long as the emperor does not issue an order, neither Prime Minister Ji, Concubine Ji, nor the second prince dare to make excessive demands on Zhongli Mansion."

"Well, my father also analyzed it this way. It's just...it's just that I can't see you when I go to Kyoto..."

Zhongli Ruoshui's face turned red, "Besides, I went to Kyoto, and I'm worried that the Huo family in Guangling City will be unfavorable to you!"

"And my mother, she wants to go with me... She hopes that I can marry into the palace. In this way, Zhongli Mansion may become another Duke's Mansion of Ning Kingdom."

Li Chenan smiled slightly and reached out to hold Zhongli Ruoshui's little hand.

"Don't worry about me here. After all, I have a certain ability to protect myself. Besides... Mr. Liu, the prefect of Guangling Prefecture, is a disciple of Brother Hua, and he has some friendship with me."

"Don't forget that I still have the identity of the Embroidery Envoy of Lijing Division. If Jianwu helps me find some female heroes in the past few days... the power in my hand will increase a bit."

"Jianwu said that her junior sister will be here in the next two days, but I have to tell you!"

Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Li Chenan and said seriously: "They are all women, you...you are among the flowers! Don't mess up your sense of proportion!"

Li Chenan laughed so hard that Zhongli Ruoshui's face turned red and she glanced at him, "I'm serious about this!"

"What are you thinking about? There are three thousand pieces of weak water, and I only take one scoop and drink it. With you, my whole life is enough!"

Zhongli Ruoshui felt as sweet as if she had eaten the nectar of the locust flower.

She threw away the troubles of parting, like a magnolia flower blooming in the rain.

"That's what you said!"

"Um!"

"When I go to Kyoto, I will write to you if I cannot come back in time. You must reply to me in time."

"good!"

"Besides... you must pay attention to safety when traveling. What I'm worried about now is not only the forces in Guangling City, I'm also worried about the second prince... This man appears to be gentle and gentle, but he often does things unscrupulously!"

"If he finds out about our relationship, I'm worried that he will do something bad to you!"

"I know. Before you came back, I was hiding in this workshop and not going anywhere."

"I heard that a huge cultural gathering will be held at Huaping Lake on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but unfortunately I can't go... With your talent, you should be invited, and this is what you should go. After all, I hope you can do such good things again

Poetry, get the leader of the literary society."

"Su Muxin told me, but I didn't go to the cultural gathering to be the leader, but to give our wine a name."

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head: "Since it's for our wine, you should take down the leader!"

"By the way, I haven't seen you write poetry for a long time. I'm leaving tomorrow. Can you write me a poem?"

Of course, Li Chenan understood what Zhongli Ruoshui was thinking. This was what she thought about herself after going to Kyoto.

"Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

"good."

Zhongli Ruoshui happily ran out holding a lantern, and ran back happily after a moment.

She lifted up her sleeves and rubbed ink for Li Chenan, thinking that this would add fragrance to her red sleeves.

I thought about how great it would be to be as quiet and peaceful as I am now for the rest of my life!

Li Chenan thought for a moment and put the pen on the paper:

"Magpie Bridge Immortal"

Thin clouds make tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and silver and silver men travel far away in secret.

When golden wind and jade dew meet,

He has conquered countless people in the world.

Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back.

If love lasts for a long time,

How can we live day and night?"
