Chapter 488 The sound of the flute conveys love
That night, when Ji Zimo returned to Mo Mansion, it was already Haishi.
The bright moon hangs high in the Xia Mansion next door. On weekdays, you can hear the sounds of Yuan Bao and Hua Zhuer playing, but now it is quiet.
He came to the small door in the courtyard and pushed it.
The door is locked tightly and cannot be pushed open.
This door was originally designed to guard against him.
Before Li Yunniang goes to sleep every night, she always locks the door with two big locks.
During the day, he also protested to her that he hadn't seen her for a long time.
Today he promised her that he would come back early, but he still delayed her until now.
Ji Zimo felt depressed in his heart, as the scene of Hu Tang and Xia Qianqian playing and quarreling at the door of "Jiafa" flashed before his eyes.
With a pang in his heart, he turned around and returned to the wing on the second floor, feeling a little restless for a while.
Come to the table, open a secret compartment, and take out a few books.
"How to win a woman's heart", "How to make the other person fall in love", "Thirty-six strategies to capture the other person's heart"...
The books are all new, but some of the pages have been turned over.
He was born in a royal family, his parents died young, and the people around him, except for the nanny, were the guards. As he grew up, this was the first time he met a woman, and he tried his best to win her attention.<
/p>
Opening one of the books, he wanted to read it again, but he was bored and couldn't read it.
"Your Highness!" Mr. Liu called excitedly from the door.
Ji Zimo rarely panicked, so he put all the books on the table into the drawer and said, "Come in."
Boss Liu stepped into the house, followed by Hebei. Both of them were in good spirits.
"Is something wrong?" He sat down and asked calmly.
"Your Highness!" Hebei first reported: "This afternoon, we discussed with Miss Xia how to deal with bloodthirsty dead snakes. The girl proposed to find the natural enemy of venomous snakes, the snake eagle, and raise the snake eagle to deal with it."
"We have thought of many ways, but we have missed this point. Today I have written in handwriting for people to do it." Hebei's eyebrows were flying, "That girl also promised that in addition to focusing on prevention, she will also help us cultivate a team of people.
The first batch of people who can use antivenom."
"More than that!"
Mr. Liu answered, "She is very good at suturing wounds. I suggested that she train a few military doctors, and she agreed."
Hebei couldn't help but admired, "This girl, at a young age, is resourceful and has great military skills. If she were not a woman, I would really like to take her under my command and train her well. No, no, I am not training her, I am letting her show off."
An opportunity for big things.”
Hebei spoke so excitedly that he didn't notice his master's face, which suddenly darkened.
Mr. Liu on the side still had a look, "General He, what are you talking about? Xia Yatou likes to learn business with His Highness, how can she be willing to go to the battlefield with you?"
Hebei came back to his senses and said with an awkward smile: "Your Highness, I said the wrong thing. How could the person whom Your Highness cherishes be willing to run around with me when the border is windy..."
The more he explained, the uglier Ji Zimo's face became. Hebei simply handed over his hand and said, "Your Highness, Hongfei has recovered well recently. It's time to take medicine. I'll go take a look at him."
After saying that, he rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, turned around and left.
When Mr. Liu saw this, he also backed away.
"Mr. Liu." Ji Zimo called him.
Mr. Liu turned around again and bowed humbly.
"You have been with her this afternoon?" I thought His Highness wanted to ask about something important, but I never thought that it would be such a common thing."
Mr. Liu was stunned and answered truthfully: "Yes. After she came back in the afternoon, we have been discussing the matter with her in her study."
"How long have you stayed?" His tone was a little sour.
Mr. Liu cautiously said: "For an hour... I may be concentrating on chatting, but I don't know how time flies. Maybe there are two hours..."
They even spent two hours with her, no wonder she became cold to him.
He didn't spare any extra time to spend with her.
The more Ji Zimo thought about it, the more depressed he became. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go down."
Mr. Liu felt relieved, turned around and slipped away.
Ji Zimo stood there blankly for a while, then opened a hidden compartment and took out a green and translucent jade flute.
Xia Qianqian was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, always thinking about how to get the Jiang family's land.
She also thought about this morning, when she rejected the invitation from the young man from the Jiang family. She didn’t know how the Jiang family would arrange her. She would probably grit her teeth with hatred and be even less willing to sell the land to her.
While my thoughts were turbulent, the sound of a flute sounded outside the courtyard. The tune was melodious and gentle, which suddenly soothed my irritable mood.
Who is playing the flute next door?
After excluding those people next door from her mind, she thought of one person.
This idiot can also play the flute to express feelings?
She got up from the quilt, put on her clothes and came to the courtyard.
In the summer night, the wind is blowing, and it is cool with a hint of chill.
Above the head, the bright moon hangs high, and the stars are like brocade. Through the gap between the plane trees in the courtyard, a young man in a moon-white brocade robe is standing on the railing on the second floor, leaning on the railing and playing the flute.
He is tall and straight, with a noble temperament, and the way he plays the flute inexplicably adds a bit of ethereal elegance like an immortal.
Such a man is like an ascetic boy who came out of an innocent ancient fairy tale drama.
His temperament is so unique that it is difficult to sum it up with just a few adjectives.
This is the first time she has seen him play the flute.
She had forgotten that he was the famous Wise King.
In ancient times, men played the harp, flute, danced, wrote, and ink, and practiced martial arts and swords. These were essential skills for every son of aristocratic families and royal men.
She looked at him with interest, and he lowered his head, looking at her with a pair of black eyes.
When their eyes met, the other party's eyes flashed, and he turned his head forcibly, not daring to look down again.
In the melodious flute sound, there was clearly a brief period of unstable breath and uneasiness.
Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly.
This noble and virtuous king plays the flute in the middle of the night to seduce women.
She came to the appointment as scheduled, but he turned around and looked like a little girl, shy.
She crossed her arms and looked at her with interest, suppressing laughter in her heart.
"Qianqian, what are you doing standing in the yard?" Li Yunniang's scolding came from the door of the wing.
"I'm listening to the flute." She glanced at the person opposite, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mom, it sounds pretty good."
"No matter how nice it sounds, you should go back to your room and listen to it."
Li Yunniang grabbed her shoes and rushed into the yard. She grabbed her coat and closed it tightly. She lowered her voice and scolded: "You brave girl, what are you wearing? Come back quickly."
Huh?
Xia Qianqian finally reacted after Li Yunniang reminded her.
Ancient people still wore long pants and long shirts when sleeping, especially in summer.
It’s such a hot day, so I don’t care.
But she can’t!
In modern times, she is used to wearing short-sleeved sleeveless suspenders and knee-length skirts. How can she bear to wear long clothes and trousers when sleeping at night?
So her pajamas were modified by her.
All her original undergarments were shortened and changed into short-sleeved shorts, and the neckline was dug down several inches.
On weekdays, she wears it when sleeping, and no one else can question it.
But today, she ran out wearing it and faced the man who was like an immortal.
