Chapter 47 She Is Shy(1/2)
Cen Jinxu looked at her watery eyes and felt calm for a moment.
Then answer.
"You're not important enough yet. I never do anything I'm not sure about. Let's ask An Huai to transfer to another school first. I'll arrange another college for him."
Su Wenyan kept looking into his eyes.
Only at the end did he respond.
"Everything is entirely up to His Highness."
After returning from the academy, Su Wenyan felt a little restless.
If you don’t look for trouble yourself, things will come to you.
Towards evening, Xian Baolai sent a message saying that His Highness Taisun wanted Su Chenghui to serve tea in the study.
This means I have something to say to her.
Su Wenyan carried a box of cakes and went to the study.
Cen Jinxu's study was outside the East Palace, in a side hall near the north gate of the imperial city. It was close to the emperor's Zhengde Hall, and it was also convenient for him to handle official duties.
Su Wenyan walked along and happened to bump into Hu Liangdi walking back.
Hu Liangdi was wrapped in a shawl. It was cold in early autumn, so she looked good in this outfit.
"stop."
Hu Liangdi stopped her steps.
"I've met Hu Liangdi."
Hu Liangdi looked at the maid behind Su Wenyan and the box in her hand, with an angry look on her face.
"Where are you going? To His Highness's study?"
"What I said back to Hu Liangdi is that it was His Highness who summoned me."
Hu Liangdi winked and ordered the maid next to her to take the food box away from Yinhuan.
When I opened the food box, I saw that they were all exquisite pastries.
"I have long heard that Su Chenghui is the best at taking these little thoughts, but I advise you to be careful today. The Crown Princess is in the study right now. Not only is she in the study, she is also organizing the recruitment of new people for His Highness. You,
It’s better to go back as soon as possible, so as not to go over and interfere with these people’s good deeds!”
Su Wenyan had doubts on her face: "Hu Liangdi, are you also coming from the study?"
Hu Liangdi closed the food box and returned it to Yinhuan.
"It's so unlucky. I really can't sit there. My grandson really has no time to do anything. I don't have to be an eyesore there. I just came out of the study, so I'm going back."
Su Wenyan shook the fan in her hand, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Then I'd better go and have a look. After all, His Highness summoned you. I'm no better able to speak to His Highness than you. No matter what happens, I can sit still."
Hu Liangdi sneered.
"You have a good temper, so I'm leaving."
"If Hu Liangdi likes my box of pastries, I will give you some tomorrow."
"Very good. Then tomorrow, you can come to my palace as a guest."
"good."
Su Wenyan led Yinhuan to the study.
Before entering the palace, I heard the sound of pipa playing outside.
Jinbao picked the curtain and let her in.
When she entered the room, she saw that the person sitting in the middle of the room was the chief pipa player that day. Su Wenyan remembered her. She had a good name, called Li Xi.
Cen Xuxupin listened to this piece of music, leaning slightly on the couch with one knee propped up, looking as if he was enjoying a cup of tea.
Su Wenyan slowed down and sat next to the concubine.
The grandson's concubine hissed, asking her to move more gently, then took her food box and put it aside.
The song is over.
Li Xi knelt down and kowtowed.
The concubine took off the bracelet from her hand and asked Wang Dehuai to hand it to her.
"As expected, you are Master Liu's disciple. This is my reward for you."
Li Xi held the bracelet, and for a moment he didn't know whether to put it away or not.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at His Highness Taisun.
Cen Jinxu sat upright, his eyes met hers, and he looked very affectionate, and spoke slowly.
"Since it's from the grandson's concubine, you accept it."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After Li Xi accepted the gift, the concubine called Wang Dehuai to give her a seat.
The man then sat next to Cen Jinxu.
Cen Jinxu picked up the strings of the pipa with one hand and spoke.
"It has been sixty years since I played the pipa and played with jade beads. Who taught me how to become a poetry immortal? You are actually Master Liu's apprentice. You have hidden this secret deeply."
Li Xi lowered his head and replied.
"My master doesn't allow my slaves to spread the word, so in recent years, my slaves have not dared to use my master's name."
Cen Jinxu stopped his hand and said, "You are indeed a person who understands etiquette."
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted her chin with a finger.
Li Xi's cheeks were opened, her eyes were still drooping, and she did not dare to look into her grandson's eyes.
Cen Jinxu laughed: "What do you mean by not looking at me alone and always keeping your head down while talking?"
The grandson concubine looked at this scene with a smile on her lips and was the first to break the silence in the room.
"Miss Lixi has been diligently learning her craft for many years and has not interacted with outsiders. Your Highness is asking her now. She is shy."
Su Wenyan slowly shook her fan and looked at Li Xi carefully.
Although this shy look is different after all, this girl is really a serious person, with every look and every look in her eyes, she has the attitude of a daughter.
At this time, I can't help but think of myself.
When she was teased by Cen Zhenxu and raised her chin, she didn't think she looked like this.
No wonder he always said later that she was seducing him.
There really is some difference.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but laugh, silently, and shook her fan twice more.
Little did he know that Cen Jinxu's eyes had turned to look at her.
After just one glance, he dropped his gaze and continued to look at Li Xi in front of him.
He stopped his hand and said to the concubine.
"Let's get here today, lead the people, and you guys should step back."
"Yes, I, my concubine, please leave." The two of them said in unison.
After everyone left, Wang Dehuai winked and asked all the maids in the room to withdraw. He closed the curtain himself and retreated outside to wait for the door.
"Why are you sitting so far away? Come and sit next to me."
Su Wenyan held down her fan, covering half of her face.
Half smiling, half lowered eyes.
"Your Highness, I can just sit here. I'm a little bit panicked when I get closer. Your Highness is so powerful that I don't dare to get close."
Cen Jinxu could tell at a glance that she was imitating Li Xi's speech.
Pretentious, pretending to be shy.
Pressing his forehead, Cen Jinxu laughed out loud.
"The little vixen is nothing like her. There is still some gap between you and her."
Su Wenyan stood up, walked over to him, and patted his knees with a fan.
"Your Highness, I am also from a decent family, so why is there a gap? Where is the gap? Could it be that I didn't have any noble people to recommend me, but she was appreciated by the grandson's concubine?"
"Nonsense, who said you don't have anyone to recommend you? The person who recommended you is very honorable."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness?"
Cen Jinxu touched her little hand and smiled.
