When he learned that Huai Moran had gone to Zuiyue Tower again, Baili Yeheng was playing chess with Xiaoxiao in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. At that time, he frowned slightly, then dropped a chess piece in anger and said coldly: "Restless woman
.”
Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and coughed slightly. Baili Yeheng hurriedly patted her back and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Maybe it's because the weather suddenly turned cold and I feel a little uncomfortable. It's okay."
Baili Yeheng immediately ordered Yingying on the side: "Let the kitchen prepare some medicine to treat coughs and warm the stomach."
Yingying left in response, and Baili Yeheng brought a soft cushion and put it on her back. She was so gentle and attentive, and it was clear that she was not even a little anxious just now, as if the news of her pregnancy with Mo Ran could not make him interested at all.
Xiaoxiao held a chess piece in her hands, but she didn't put it down. Instead, she said with a bit of worry: "Heng, do you want to go and see her? After all, she is a princess, a romantic place like that... in case something goes wrong."
What should we do if we make a mistake?"
Baili Yeheng clenched his fists, his face was gloomy, and he stood up immediately. He gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for her being useful, I wouldn't bother to care about her!" After that, he walked away, leaving only Xiaoxiao alone.
Alone pair of chessboards.
Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of indifference flashed through her affectionate eyes. Under the veil, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm, but she didn't know who was sarcastic.
"Wow!" Xiaoxiao swung the chess pieces off the chessboard, and the chess pieces made a tiny sound on the ground. When Yingying, who had just entered the door, saw this scene, she immediately stopped in fear. She looked at Xiaoxiao, but she seemed to see a
Wild beasts waiting for prey.
"Why are you still standing there? Put these things away." Xiaoxiao glanced at the silent Yingying and ordered in a cold voice.
Yingying nodded hurriedly, bowed and walked over. She put the chess pieces away little by little, but her hands couldn't stop shaking. One of the chess pieces fell under Xiaoxiao's feet. Yingying paused, as if hesitating, Xiaoxiao was condescending.
Looking at her, he naturally saw her reaction clearly. When Yingying stepped forward, a shoe immediately stepped on her foot.
Yingying was in pain, but she didn't dare to cry out for fear of annoying Xiaoxiao again. Above her head, a cold and smiling voice sounded: "Don't you want to stay by my side?"
Yingying's whole body was shaking like chaff, she hurriedly bowed her head and kowtowed: "Yingying doesn't dare, Yingying doesn't dare..."
"Why are you so scared? I won't eat you." There was a smile on Xiaoxiao's lips, but she was exerting force on her feet.
Yingying bit her lip, enduring the pain of being crushed, but did not dare to say a word.
"I know you all like that woman, haha. It's a pity that you don't have a good life, so you can only follow me, an unfavored master. But don't forget that without me, your father and your brother will all be together.
I'm dead." After Xiaoxiao said that, she laughed softly, and her laughter instantly made Yingying feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
...
The entrance to Zuiyue Tower was particularly lively today, because Ling Yue had someone send out the news that there was a new top performer on stage tonight, and she was a strange performer without selling herself. After the performance, anyone who could drink with her and write poems wanted her.
Make your own choice. After hearing the news, all the hungry wolves rushed to see the new number one. However, if they knew that the new number one was the famous Crown Princess, their jaws would probably drop.
Baili Yeheng always used the back door to enter Zuiyue Tower, but today he went through the front entrance for the first time. When he saw so many men waiting for Zuiyue Tower to open, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, because...he smelled it.
The smell of conspiracy. Baili Yeheng silently walked around to the back door and came to the main hall with a sullen face. When he saw Ling Yue directing everyone to decorate the stage, his face became a little darker.
"Ah..." Ling Yue turned around and saw Baili Ye Heng. She immediately lost three of her seven souls and felt miserable. She walked forward with a smile and bowed politely, "Your Highness, what are you doing today?"
Why do you come here when you have time?"
Baili Yeheng looked at her sideways, his eyes cold and majestic: "You are really becoming more obedient. You let her do whatever she wants without telling me."
Ling Yue immediately expressed her grievances and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's not that this slave is disobedient, but that the empress is so eloquent and she even brought two powerful little ones here. I'm being stared at...
Be tight, how dare you disobey me."
Baili Yeheng was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and went up to the second floor. If he guessed correctly, the oiran in charge today must be the restless woman.
It's still the same wing room, but the difference is that today there are two people standing at the door. The two people have upright postures. Although they are young, they have a sharp and compelling temperament. When they saw Baili Yeheng, they were startled for a moment.
, and immediately bowed respectfully, Baili Yeheng waved his hands to signal them to excuse themselves, and then opened the door and walked into the room.
At this time, Huai Moran was practicing swordplay indoors. When she turned around, she saw Baili Yeheng staring at her with a dark face. She was a little surprised, but she was only slightly stunned. The next moment, she turned around and combed her hair nonchalantly with a comb.
He put his hair back and said calmly: "Why are you here? Is Miss Xiaoxiao feeling better?"
Only then did Liangchen notice Baili Yeheng. She hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then exited the room at Huai Moran's signal.
Huai Moran turned around and continued to dance his sword, seemingly not seeing Baili Yeheng's sullen look at this moment.
"Do you know that you are the royal princess?" Baili Yeheng stepped forward and grabbed Huai Moran's wrist. Huai Moran was in pain and the sword in her hand fell to the ground. She frowned and said angrily: "You still think I am?
Crown Princess?"
Baili Yeheng was shocked, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Are you blaming me?"
Huai Moran turned away and said nothing.
Baili Yeheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that...you blame me for neglecting you?"
Huai Moran turned his face and said sarcastically: "Are you kidding me? Haha, I still remember the grudge of that slap, but I still hate seeing you like this! Let go!"
Baili Yeheng slowly let go of his hand, but the expression on his face softened a bit. He touched Huai Mo Ran's cheek with one hand, frowned and said, "Fortunately, there is no scar."
Huai Moran sneered: "Of course there is no scar, otherwise, how would I be the oiran?"
Baili Yeheng's eyes turned cold and he frowned: "I don't allow you to go!"
"Why? I just support myself, you have to take care of this?" Huai Moran turned around and came to the bronze mirror, took a brocade handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said coldly.
Baili Yeheng stepped forward, and he moved her shoulders with force, but there was something a little tight where he started, which made him realize that she had lost weight again. Thinking of this, Baili Yeheng felt extremely guilty, but he still didn't
Let go, but say in an irrefutable tone: "I told you, you are not allowed to go!"
Huai Moran was not in a hurry. She tilted her head and asked curiously: "Are you sure? If I said that I made this move to find out the manipulator behind the zombies, wouldn't you allow me to go?"
Baili Yeheng's whole body froze, and soon, his hand slowly loosened, but he didn't know whether it was because of shock or hesitation.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Huai Moran's eyes, and immediately she pushed Baili Yeheng's hands away and said sarcastically: "You know it yourself, right? To you, a useless me has no value. Speaking of which,
You are just using me, now, I can help you get what you want, what else do you want?"
After that, she no longer looked at the blank Baili Yeheng, walked around him, and went straight out the door.
Baili Yeheng suddenly turned around and hugged her into his arms from behind, so quickly and forcefully that he almost imprisoned her soul, giving her the illusion that he was afraid of losing her.
"Mo Ran..." For the first time, Baili Yeheng called her name in such a lingering and gentle tone.
Huai Moran was a little unaccustomed, but he didn't look back. Instead, his body was as stiff as a piece of wood and allowed to be held by him.
Baili Yeheng did not continue to speak. He felt the coldness and alienation of the woman in his arms. His heart clenched tightly, but he no longer had the strength to entangle with her.
What should I say to tell you that I actually really love you. Using you...is just an excuse to keep you by my side? When I find out that you love others and hate me,
How do you know about my frustration?
After an unknown amount of time, Baili Yeheng reluctantly let go of his hand. Huai Moran let out a long breath, then picked up the sword on the ground and left without looking back.
At this time, it was the time when Zuiyue Tower opened its doors. Baili Yeheng stood there in shock, listening to the noisy cheers outside the door, feeling sullen in his heart, but he did not act impulsively after all.
After a while, it suddenly became quiet outside. Baili Yeheng knew that his beloved woman was dancing a sword to the music in front of the public. He had seen that dance so many times that even if he didn't watch it, he would still know it.
How beautiful she was back then. But this kind of beauty was no longer for him to see alone...
Just as Baili Yeheng thought, Huai Moran was really dancing to the point of intoxication. Everyone was immersed in the graceful dance steps and couldn't extricate themselves. In the corner, a Qingshan man was drinking from cup to cup. His eyes were slightly narrowed.
His eyes were sarcastic, looking at the enchanting woman on the stage who was both soft and domineering, with an evil smile on his lips.
As soon as Huai Moran finished dancing, Ling Yue walked up happily. She pulled Huai Moran's sleeves excitedly and said with regret on her face: "What a good seedling? What a pity..."
Huai Moran smiled softly, with a bit of coldness in his smile. Ling Yue immediately stopped speaking knowingly, and instead said to a circle of obsessed men below: "Everyone, this is our man tonight.
The oiran girl is proficient in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is not a prostitute, but this dance alone is enough to keep you drunk for several days, right?"
There were shouts below, but no one said anything obscene. They just kept showing love to Huai Moran, which made her feel extremely happy.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Now, let Shishi choose." Lingyue smiled evilly, and then looked at Huai Moran with ambiguous eyes, wanting to see whose red apricot she came up with.
wall.
Huai Moran's eyes searched around everyone, and then slowly cast her eyes to the corner, where the man in green shirt was standing up to leave. A cunning light flashed in Huai Moran's eyes. The next moment, she said softly: "Young Master, please stay.
.”
Everyone looked back one after another, and their eyes fell on the man in green. The man turned around slowly. Under the light of the glazed lamp, his face was like a crown jewel, and his whole person was as clean as an immortal, but there was a bit of indifference and alienation in his eyes.
Amidst those angry and jealous eyes, he stood there calmly, looking at Huai Mo Ran with his eyebrows raised.
Huai Moran looked at him, smiled lightly, and said calmly: "The little girl once had a friend who was gentle and elegant. She felt like spring breeze when she saw him. Although we only got along for a short time, I liked him very much, but...
When something unexpected happens to him, we can only be separated from each other."
The face of the man in green gradually darkened, but Huai Moran remained calm and said: "When I saw the young master today, I felt like I was seeing him again, not because of his warm temperament, but because you are as clean as him. So, little lady
How about I boldly ask you, Master, to have a drink with me tonight?"
There was an uproar in the hall immediately, but the man in green just frowned slightly, then nodded slightly and said calmly: "In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
