Chapter 74: Hu Mei
The woman sat on the chair on the stage with a pipa in her arms. Her eyes turned around and looked around the audience. Finally, her eyes were fixed on Han Jian, and her eyes narrowed slightly, obviously recognizing the culprit who destroyed her assassination plan that day.
Lan Niang smiled beside her and said, "Miss He has just arrived here and cannot be erased. I am here to say hello to all the officials."
During the meal, a man shouted, "Lan Niang, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let Miss He play and sing a song so that we can see her talents."
Lan Niang walked onto the stage and whispered a few words in the woman's ear, as if she was explaining something. The woman nodded and understood, but her eyes looked at Han Jian with a playful meaning. It seemed to be saying, "Look at how I will teach you a lesson in a while!"
A series of questions arose in Han Jian's mind. A woman who had just come out of the sect was actually an assassin who assassinated the Queen? She had so many accomplices, why did she appear in this purpose? Assassinate me? Kill me to vent her anger? She covered her face and thought I couldn't recognize her?
"Brother Huang, do you know the origin of this girl?" Han Jian asked the woman on the stage, Huang Lie, who looked like a pig.
"I know, she is an official daughter, and her father seems to be He Zhonglian, a former doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. He Zhonglian committed the crime, but his Majesty was convicted. Last year, she was sent to the Jiaofang and only came out to welcome guests this year." Huang Lie replied.
"He Zhonglian?" This was the first time Han Jian heard this name, and I wondered what allusions there were in his case, "Was Miss He practiced in Shangqing Palace?"
As Han Jian knew, only women in Shangqing Palace could have profound martial arts. This is also the only place where an ordinary lady in the official family had the opportunity to come into contact with martial arts. But Han Jian also knew that ordinary officials sent young girls to Shangqing Palace to practice, just to learn knowledge and Taoism, and would not let them get involved in martial arts.
Huang Lie said with a disgust: "This...how can I know?"
Yang Xi said, "It is reported that Doctor He has a strict family education and his daughter never leaves the house. How could Doctor He send his daughter to practice?"
Han Jian frowned slightly. Could it be that he was accused of the wrong person? Or was there a mystery inside?
At this time, Lan Niang on the stage had already walked off the stage, and Miss He also began to pluck the strings of the pipa. The tune seemed slightly melodious, which made Han Jian feel familiar. Then Miss He also began to sing.
"Outside the long pavilion..."
At this opening, Han Jian was slightly shocked. It was still "Farewell", but the tune was high, but it was the original tune that Wen'er sang that day. Not only was the same lyrics, but even the tune was not bad at all. Wen'er was very outstanding in singing skills, and this woman's singing skills were even better.
The pipagiography seemed insignificant under her singing skills, but with the accompaniment, the woman's singing became even more brilliant. She spoke, but the sound of the audience was gone. Even Yang Yu, who had no interest in those women before, looked at the woman on the stage with a look of amazement.
Han Jian was even more confused at this time. She sang so accurately. Could it be that she was listening to Wen'er's live singing in Cuiyang Tower that day? There is no recording equipment these days. Wen'er only sang it once that day. Just listening to others' talks, she obviously couldn't understand the essence of this song.
Soon, the women on the stage had finished singing, and applause and cheers rang out from the stage.
The woman stood up slightly to salute, put down the pipa and walked off the stage. Just as everyone thought she would follow the previous steps of the woman to add wine to Yang Yu to ask for rewards, the woman walked straight towards Han Jian's table.
In the eyes of others, the woman's behavior was a bit abnormal, and she even wanted the woman to go over and add wine to them first. But Han Jian was extremely cautious. His hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with the woman's sudden attack at any time.
The woman walked to Han Jian's seat with a gust of fragrant wind, and then leaned over and knelt between Han Jian and Huang Lie, picked up the wine pot and wanted to add wine.
"Miss He, you..." Huang Lie thought he was dreaming that the woman came down and didn't look for anyone else. He just came over to add wine to this table first. He thought his charm was also powerful.
But the woman ignored Huang Lie at all, covered her face with a gauze and kept looking at Han Jian with a smile.
At this time, Li Wei stood up angrily at Yang Yu's table as if condemning Lan Niang. Lan Niang said aggrievedly: "Don't get angry... It was Miss He who came by herself, and it has nothing to do with my family..."
Li Wei also clearly saw that Yang Yu was interested in this girl He. As long as he offered this girl today, his purpose would have been achieved. However, this girl was a little out of his control and even found a seat to add wine after the performance.
"Nothing!" Li Wei shouted, stood up angrily and walked towards Han Jian's seat. When he was halfway through, his steps immediately stopped. Because he saw that the sixth prince Yang Xi and the east king Han Jian were in front of Miss He.
Li Wei is not afraid of Yang Xi. In his opinion, Yang Yu is the best choice for the future prince. Yang Xi is too young like a young bird and will not be able to become a climate in the future. What he is afraid of is the East King Han Jian. Although the East King is not old, he has thoroughly learned about the East King's methods several times before. Moreover, the East King has a title and a military power under his command, so he cannot afford to offend him.
At this time, at Han Jian's table, Miss He had already poured a glass of wine and handed it to Han Jian respectfully.
"The little woman has been admiring the young master for a long time, so I asked the young master to drink this..."
The woman didn't say this loudly, but in such an awkward and quiet environment, not only the people in the same seats, but even the people in the seats around her could hear it clearly. The woman had hoped for this, but she immediately felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Girl, do we know each other?" Han Jian still kept a certain distance from the woman, and his hands still did not leave the hilt of the sword.
When someone heard Han Jian's words, he immediately fell into the ice cave and caught half of his heart. It turned out that he was either an old lover, but he still had a chance.
The woman raised her eyebrows gently, as if she was a little angry, "You boy is not aware of your appearance", and then her expression became a little pity for me, and she exhaled like an orchid: "Young master is both talented and knowledgeable, and can make such a wonderful music. The little woman secretly admires her and wants to give her life. If the young master doesn't agree, it will be a joy for a night... It's also a wonderful memory for the little girl..."
After saying this, Han Jian immediately felt that there were murderous blades hidden in his eyes when he looked over.
After the woman finished speaking, she gave Han Jian a glamorous look, but this "smelling look" seemed to be a kind of provocation of the winner in Han Jian's eyes.
Han Jian immediately felt that he was very passive. The woman said these words clearly for another purpose. It may be revenge or to arouse jealousy from some people. For example, Yang Yu, who was glaring at this side at this moment.
Han Jianxin said that if he was passively defending, he would have to be compressed into the penalty area. Han Jian took the wine glass and smiled heartily, "How can I let Miss He down?"
A glass of wine was poured directly behind him, and the wine glass was thrown out, and he stretched out his left hand and hugged it to the woman's waist.
Han Jian's move made the woman who thought she was sure to win and showed a little panic first.
But she quickly stopped her mind, looked charming, and obediently snuggled to Han Jian. When she took the initiative, Han Jian didn't bother to reach out and she wanted to prevent the woman from attacking suddenly. Sure enough, when the woman was about to lean on Han Jian, the woman had an extra silver needle on her hand. She didn't take the initiative to stab the silver needle out, but pinched the silver needle with her hand and leaned over with her body. Not only was it so undetectable, but Han Jian couldn't defend herself.
However, Han Jian’s martial arts practice over the years was not in vain. At that moment, he flicked his finger and bounced the silver needle on the woman’s hand away. The woman was slightly stunned. Obviously, she didn’t expect that Han Jian’s fingers were so good. She wrinkled her nose gently, and her body was really leaning against Han Jian, looking lazy and unable to get up.
Wen Xiang was full of her heart, but Han Jian couldn't be happy at all. He had to be careful of any small movements of the woman. The two of them leaned together and could not say who had the advantage. Both sides had equal opportunities. Once who attacked first, the defense on the other side would be very hasty. But the woman leaned on Han Jian more and more tightly, as if she treated him as a pillow, and didn't think about it evenly, let alone attack.
At this time, Li Wei also came over to greet Han Jian and Yang Xi.
"Two Your Highnesses, you are polite." Li Wei bowed and bowed.
"Huh?" Han Jian looked up slightly and looked at Li Wei, pretending to be surprised, "Is Mr. Li actually here too?"
When Li Wei discovered Han Jian, he realized that Han Jian and others had already discovered him and Yang Yu, but they had never shown up. Because he and Yang Yu were sitting in front of the table, they were very conspicuous.
"I'm here to accompany the third prince." Li Wei said.
Han Jian said: "So that's it. I haven't seen it before. Are you here...is there something wrong?"
Li Wei looked at the woman who leaned against Han Jian and refused to stand up, and said, "I'm not talented, I want to invite Miss He to go over and add wine to the third prince."
Han Jian looked down at the woman with a coquettish look on her face, thinking that this girl is really good at acting. Not only is she willing to suffer losses and lean over to him for her to hug her, but she also made some angry attitudes about her little daughter in his arms.
"Young Master." The woman said coquettishly, "The little woman is already the young master. Is it that the young master willing to let the young woman go out and show up again?"
"This...of course I don't want to." Han Jian smiled, "Why is the beauty in her arms, how can I let go? Mr. Li, please come back."
The woman smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with Han Jian's answer, and even scratched Han Jian's waist with her hand holding Han Jian's hand, which almost made Han Jian's reaction to pull the sword excessively.
Li Wei stood there, his face flushed a little, and he seemed not to want to leave. Sima Yi said in a bad tone: "Mr. Li, didn't you hear it? Do you need to repeat it again?"
Li Wei is about to curry favor with the third prince at this time, so how can he stop easily? Relying on someone's support, Li Wei smiled coldly and said, "Miss He, some things may not be allowed to do. You are the girl from Yuhualou. If you don't go there today, you have to go there..."
The woman was slightly reluctant and said softly: "The little woman is not selling herself..."
