298 Innocent(1/2)
"Since you're here, just sit down." Chu Yi's voice was always steady, neither shocked nor irritated, nor anxious or slow.
One of his hands pressed on the back of Gu Yanfei's hand. The palm with thin calluses was warm and dry, and the blood flowed straight to her heart through her skin.
This simple action is worth thousands of words.
Gu Yanfei seemed to be a cat touched by the hair, and the slightest bit of fire in his heart was extinguished, and he pressed his back hand on the back of his hand.
Chu You didn't mean to be polite to Chu Yi at all, and greeted Baili Yin, Yuan Zhe and others all sat down.
Yes, this show has just begun.
His mood was better than it was just now. His eyebrows were flying, and his big golden sword was the first to sit down. His eyes could not help but look at another person in the elegant seat - Xiahou Qing in a red shirt.
"This one is..." Chu You looked up and down at Xiahou Qing, feeling that this person was born with great eyes, neither a nobleman nor a court official.
Baili Yin was only concerned about looking at the little beauty before, but at this time he noticed the young man in red in the elegant seat, and his heart was shocked.
Xiahou Qing neither looked at Chu You nor Baili Yin, with a blank expression on his face and was not moved by the identities of the other people.
He half-drooped his eyes, and the slender and dense eyelashes drooped, casting a shallow shadow on his eye sockets, making the skin at the end of his eyes as white as white porcelain.
He held a tea cup in one hand and drank tea on his own, while his other hand was hidden in his wide sleeves. He felt a warm current spread rapidly from his palm and flowing all over his body, making him feel warm all over his body, as if soaked in a hot spring.
This feeling is wonderful.
When he didn't speak, people only felt that this man was arrogant and indifferent.
Chu You only looked at Xiahou Qing and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Friend." Chu Yi simply gave two words.
Then, the elegant seat became quiet again.
The actors downstairs sang more lively. They had already sang the protagonist Liu Qingxiao was dismissed by his fiancée and humiliated by his fiancée's family. In the atmosphere, they resolutely shouted "Don't bully the young man's poor."
A small climax caused the audience to cheer and applause.
Yuan Zhe and Wang Nan didn't care much about Xiahou Qing, and only Baili Yin's expression became more and more strange, and his brown eyes were shocked and suspicious.
Baili Yin took a deep breath and suddenly smiled, as if he asked casually: "Youngziyi, how dare you ask your friend's surname?"
At this moment, he could no longer care about Gu Yanfei, and his eyes could not stop floating towards the man in red in front of him, looking at the person.
This person's body looks really like a person, and his beautifully shaped phoenix eyes are also there.
Like, so similar!
Chu Yi turned his face and looked at Xiahou Qing, with a clear light flashing in his eyes, and a word faintly spit out: "Xia..."
The moment he heard this word, Baili Yin was panicked, and his heart seemed to be hit by something, and a figure wearing a nigra face appeared in his mind - Xiahou Qing, the Lord of Tianyuansi.
But Chu Yi only said this word.
Xiahou Qing glanced at Chu Yi indifferently, as if he was smiling.
It's Xia, not Xiahou?! Baili Yin was confused in his heart and told himself that he must have thought too much. That's right, this person is not Xiahou Qing, how could Xiahou Qing still be in Jingguo?!
If Xiahou Qing was in Jingguo, and there was no one in Dayue, wouldn’t he give up the opportunity to the prince and the prince for nothing?!
Xiahou Qing is a man with ambitions and a bit narrow-minded emperor to make the princes. He would not have missed such a great opportunity...
"Several guests, the drinks are coming." At this time, the waiter walked into the elegant seat with brisk steps and said with great energy, "The autumn dew is white, the bamboo leaves are green, the flower carvings are all our signature wines. The young people brought a jar to each. Please try the taste..."
In the elegant seat, the aroma of wine is stronger.
The waiter enthusiastically drank Chu You, Baili Yin, Wang Nan and others one by one, and kept talking nonstop.
But these sounds did not reach Baili Yin's ears at all.
Baili Yin drank the Huadiao in the cup absent-mindedly, calming his mind. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the beautiful young man in red, and the thought couldn't help but floated out of his mind: Is this person Xiahou Qing?
Baili Yin cared too much about this person and did not realize that the hand he held the cup was trembling slightly.
Gu Yanfei noticed this with sharp eyes and raised the corners of his lips.
She took the cup of bamboo leaf green that Chu Yi poured her and quietly glanced at Xiahou Qing.
Why is this person treated like a beast?
Although this person has a big temper, like God, and turns his face every time, it is indeed very difficult to get along with, but it is not that scary, right?
"good!"
There was another burst of thunderous cheers erupting below, like the hustle and bustle of the sea.
Chu You looked at the stage below absent-mindedly. Although he didn't watch the show seriously, he could probably see what happened. "The Road in Qingxiao" was a script based on Emperor Taizu.
Thinking of Emperor Taizu and "Taizu's Notes", Chu You felt a little anxious in his heart: If Taizu had been willing to give "Taizu's Notes" to his father, the situation would not be like this now!
Even if they were to drive their troops south and unify the world from north to south, it was very likely!
Chu You's heart was full of ambitions, and his narrow eyes were shining.
He drank a glass of wine in one gulp, placed the empty cup on the table, looked at Chu Yi coldly, and asked with one sword: "A Yi, where have you been?"
"I got the news that your ceremonial guard went to Wuliang Temple today and returned to the palace."
Chu You did not hide his attention to Chu Yi's whereabouts. His amazingly bright eyes locked on Chu Yi's face, and his tone was extremely strong, not giving Chu Yi a chance to be vague, and it was also provocative.
Under Chu You's formidable gaze, Chu Yi smiled like the spring breeze, "The ceremonial guard has gone to Wuliangguan, and of course I have also gone to Wuliangguan." His tone was extremely relaxed.
Chu You's eyes were filled with a hint of sarcasm: He, the emperor's nephew, dared to recognize him!
Wang Nan, who was drinking, frowned even tighter when he heard this. He obviously thought of something and glanced back and forth between Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei.
Could it be...
"You are not going to worship Gu Ce, are you?" Chu You directly expressed Wang Nan's guess and asked Chu Yi aggressively.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other in a silent battle.
Chu Yi had a handsome face as bright as jade, and said calmly with every word clearly: "I went to Wuliangguan to worship Mr. Gu."
When Chu You mentioned Gu Ce, he spoke with contempt;
When Chu Yi mentioned Mr. Gu, he looked respectful.
The uncle and nephew are clearly separated. They are only a few feet apart, but they seem to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Their positions are opposite each other and they are destined to fight to the death.
Hearing this, Wang Nan tightly pinched the wine glass in his hand, almost crushing it, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The atmosphere became tense again in an instant, and sparks were everywhere in the air.
This drama is almost ready to watch. Xiahou Qing was drinking Biluochun happily while casually playing with the folding fan in his hand. Only then did he start to look at these people with interest.
The calculations in everyone's eyes, the pursuits in everyone's heart, the surprises, likes and dislikes in everyone's eyes... all of these cannot be hidden from his eyes.
He likes to watch plays, and likes to watch others plot against each other, fighting openly and secretly, and it is best to fight to the death, while he just needs to play with the world high and turn the world upside down.
"Pu"
Half of the pine nut shell rolled in front of Xiahou Qing's teacup.
Xiahou Qing pressed his eyes and subconsciously looked in the direction of the pine nut shell rolling, looking at Gu Yanfei who was holding a pine nut in his hand.
She is the only one...
It made him feel that he couldn't see clearly, understand thoroughly, and could not distinguish clearly.
Gu Yanfei met Xiahou Qing's dark pupils, and at first he looked inexplicable, then suddenly blinked.
It turns out that he wants to eat pine nuts!
Gu Yanfei thoughtfully pushed the plate of pine nuts at his hand, thinking to him: Although this person surnamed Xiahou is not that scary, the trouble is really troublesome! If you want to eat pine nuts, just say it directly. I always love to make people guess.
Xiahou Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the plate of pineapple, curling his lips in disgust.
But after a while, he slowly reached out to grab a pine nut, which was only one, and he still pinched it with his fingertips.
With a light pinch, the pine nut shell will be broken, revealing one of the white pine nuts.
Baili Yin, who looked at Xiahou Qing for the first time, also saw the scene of him eating pine nuts. The white porcelain wine glass in his hand paused in mid-air, and his hands suddenly stopped shaking.
This young master Xia is definitely not Xiahou Qing! Baili Yin thought with relief and poured himself another glass of wine.
The seat was silent for a while, and finally Chu You's long sigh broke the silence.
"A Yi," Chu You said to Chu Yi with a stern face and in the tone of an elder scolding his younger generation, "This is your fault."
"As a prince, you represent the royal family and the imperial court, how can you worship a rebel general!"
"Once this incident spreads, it will affect the prestige of the court!"
Chu You said with a righteous heart, with the winner's lofty apology.
A gleam of light flashed across Yuan Zhe's eyes, and the corners of his lips were raised behind the wine glass.
Since the eldest prince returned to Beijing last year, he has been doing everything without any loss. Today, when he heard that he went to Wuliang Temple to worship Gu Ce, Yuan Zhe was a little unbelievable.
They were drinking at Longque Restaurant, so Yuan Zhe immediately discussed with Chu You and decided to seize this rare opportunity and temporarily bring Wang Nan and Baili Yin to block the eldest prince, wanting to beat the eldest prince off guard...
Chu Yi also stared into Chu You's eyes and asked faintly: "Uncle, did the late emperor say that Marquis Gu was a rebel general?"
"..." Chu You's lips froze, and his narrow eyes became a little darker.
To be continued...
