Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 53: Prince Pianpian is Unparalleled (2)
The warm sunshine passed through the white clouds in the sky and illuminated everything on the earth. Lu Ning stood outside the door of Prince Yi's Mansion with his snow-velvet horse in hand, looking up at the solemn plaque in a daze.
After receiving Yan Rong's message, she rushed over immediately, but when she arrived at the door, she hesitated: What important matter did King Yi want to tell her? Why did he choose to meet at the Wang Mansion instead of the Xiaoxiang Villa this time?
Before she could clear her thoughts, a gate guard strode over, raised his hand and asked, "Are you the leader of the Ma Gang and Lu Gang?"
Lu Ning was slightly startled, and quickly returned the greeting: "Exactly, I am here at the invitation of His Highness, may Your Highness be here?"
"Please wait a moment, Master Lu!" The gatekeeper turned around and entered.
Soon, a tall man with a broad body and a warrior's attire strode out the door, walked up to Lu Ning and bowed his hands: "I am Tie Lin, who is your highness's bodyguard. Your highness ordered me to come."
I’ll pick you up and please follow me into my house.”
"Sorry, little brother." Lu Ning took a deep breath, handed the reins to the guard on the side, and followed him into the door.
The courtyard is deep, with smoke from willow trees and numerous curtains.
It is said in Shengjing City that the luxury of Prince Yi's residence is unparalleled in the world, and even Ziwei City cannot compare with it!
It is a pity that King Yi is a low-key person on weekdays and never entertains guests in the palace easily. Even if Emperor Yu sends someone to announce the decree, it can only be read in the outermost guest room.
After leaving the standard living room, there was a flat bluestone road with ginkgo trees planted on both sides. Lu Ning followed Tie Lin on the path, passed through the Tanchun Pavilion with double eaves and octagonal eaves, and boarded an artificial
Hill. Lu Ning stood in the Four Scenery Pavilion and looked far away, and could see the scenery of the four seasons in the courtyard. The warm spring breeze blew in his face, Lu Ning slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and his mood improved.
The two walked down the mountain, passed a covered bridge that looked like a flying rainbow, and found themselves in a lush forest of bamboos:
A courtyard with an all-bamboo structure is hidden in the bamboo stream. The water gurgling under the bamboo pavilion, and the four sycamore trees planted at the door are majestic and tall! Tie Lin introduced: This is the study room of Yi Wang Yu Fengjin - Wuzhu Pavilion, and he is also
The place where I spend the most time on weekdays.
When you leave the bamboo forest and look to the right, you will see a prosperous sea of flowers. In the warm spring, the mountains and fields are full of camellias like fire and magnolias like snow, all gathered in more than a hundred steps, like overlapping brocade tents. Leaving the sea of flowers and heading south, there is
A plum terrace: bamboo, pine, and plum trees are planted on it. At a glance, you can see the beauty of the three friends of Sui Han.
Passing through the plum terrace is the living room of King Yi - Haitang Chunwu: this is an independent and enclosed quiet courtyard. The courtyard is small and exquisite, with a unique scroll-style brick front embedded in the south wall of the courtyard.
Looking from the window, I can see vines and grass paintings on the walls, flowers piled under the walls, and a few crabapples in the courtyard, thousands of scarlet dots, which are very different from the ordinary world!
Haitang Chunwu and the Four Views Hall on the mountain face each other from the north to the south. There are water flows outside the dock and there are many rockeries, hiding the entire palace in the hustle and bustle of Shengjing City. The landscape pavilions, corridors, lakeside pavilions and towers in the garden are all revealed.
It reflects the elegance and subtlety of the owner of the mansion.
Suddenly, a low and soft piano sound came from the bamboo forest, like a spring breeze blowing on the face or a mountain stream. The piano music was curling and soothing in the ears. This piano sound suddenly made people feel peaceful.
Without Tie Lin's introduction, Lu Ning wandered into the bamboo stream, listening to the music of the piano, but stopped outside Wuzhu Pavilion.
In the lush bamboo forest, Yu Fengjin was sitting cross-legged in front of the guqin, and the pure and smooth sound of the piano was gurgling from the tips of his ten fingers.
The spring breeze gently caressed his snow-white brocade robe, and his shiny black hair gently stirred his angular face. Only the white jade finger on his thumb exuded a soft luster.
Lu Jing looked at this picturesque man quietly, his eyes shining with light.
She slowly closed her eyes, and her mind suddenly became extremely pure. All the unhappiness and pain in the past left her at this moment, and her whole body was bathed in warmth.
However, in the sound of the piano, she heard a boundless feeling of loneliness, which suddenly strangled her heart. This loneliness was mixed with the fear of death, the desire for life, and more of the feeling of being cold at high places.
of loneliness.
Lu Ning slowly opened his eyes and looked steadily at the man not far away.
At this moment, what she saw was no longer the noble and smooth prince. Instead, she saw a poor man who was unable to fight against fate but was unwilling to accept it.
She walked slowly step by step, walked to him, and sat down gently.
The sound of the piano slowly stopped, and Yu Fengjin slowly raised his eyes to look at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him. When their eyes met, he suddenly saw a trace of compassion in her eyes, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
There was no emotion on Yu Fengjin's face, she just murmured softly: "Miss Lu, you are here."
At this moment, he no longer called her the leader of the Lu Gang. Because he was facing a girl who had taken off all her disguise and was moved by the sound of his piano. Her clear eyes had already told herself that she understood.
My own bitterness.
Lu Ning met his warm eyes, smiled and said, "Well, I'll be here as soon as I receive Yan Rong's message."
Yu Fengjin boiled a tea cup and placed it on the table in front of her. Watching the green tea soup slowly pouring into the tea cup, he sighed quietly: "I know that the leader of the Lu Gang has many things to do, and I don't need this idle clan, but there is one thing I hope to do."
The leader of the Lu Gang can help, so I shamelessly invited you here anyway."
Lu Ning lowered his eyes and smiled, and said politely: "Your Highness, you are welcome. If you have anything to do, just ask me and I will do it."
"Okay, then I will speak frankly." Yu Fengjin took a sip of tea before speaking slowly: "Currently, there is an adult whose personal safety is being persecuted. This person has a high position in the court and his life is extremely important.
Important. Therefore, I hope that the leader of the Lu Gang can send a few skilled brothers to protect this master secretly."
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: "Who is this gentleman's name?"
Yu Fengjin smiled slightly and said, "Xia Yunqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet!"
Although this name was like thunder, it still shocked Lu Ning. She thought for a moment and said decisively: "Okay, this matter is not difficult! I will arrange it as soon as possible when I get back."
"I'm not busy. I have one more unkind request, and I hope Leader Lu can grant it!" Yu Fengjin raised his eyes and looked at her, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Chengquan?" Lu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling very puzzled.
"That's right." Yu Fengjin took out a wine jar from behind like a magic trick. He opened the mud seal and poured a glass for Lu Ning, and said with a smile: "I heard that the leader of the Lu gang was going to hand over the Shengjing branch to Ping.
Four, and then go to the next semicolon."
"That's right." Lu Ning lowered his eyes and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the traitors in Shengjing Branch have been eradicated, I have no reason to stay. Moreover, Ping Si has a very high reputation in the gang.
He is also very smart. I believe that if he is the general manager, he will do a better job than me."
Yu Fengjin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Heroes really think alike! I also like Ping Si, and I hope that the leader of the Lu Gang can give up his love."
Hearing this request, Lu Ning couldn't help but frown, and was even more puzzled: "What does His Highness want Ping Si? Do you want to recruit him into the palace to protect you, or... to protect other adults?"
"None of them." Yu Fengjin poured herself a glass, took a sip, and said, "I want to use my connections to send him to the Imperial Guards Department to do eyeliner for me."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Why did Your Highness fall in love with Hei Si?"
A pleasant smile appeared on Yu Fengjin's lips, and she said lightly: "As we all know, the position of the Imperial Guards in the court is very important. Whoever can control the Imperial Guards can control the court and even the emperor. I have always wanted to put an informant in it, but...
I struggled with the lack of suitable candidates. Fortunately, Yan Rong and Heping Si were very close to each other. I often heard him praise Heing Si for being not only loyal and courageous, but also very witty, so I became interested in Heing Si. As soon as I came, Heing Si and
Being from the same village as Wang Jing, it is easier to win the favor and trust of the nepotistic Wang Jing. Secondly, Ping Si has been wandering around in the world before, and his life experience is very innocent, so he is not afraid of their investigation. "
"I understand what Your Highness means." Lu Ning took a sip from the wine glass, looking a little hesitant.
"What? Could it be that the leader of the Lu Gang is reluctant to leave Ping Si?" Yu Fengjin tried teasingly.
"Not really." Lu Ning put down his wine glass and said honestly: "To be honest, in Shengjing
After inspecting for so long, I only like Hei Shi. If His Highness calls Hei Shi away, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."
Yu Fengjin's eyes flashed with amusement, and she couldn't help but smile: "That's not bad. Since the leader of the Lu Gang came to Shengjing, he has been busy rectifying the caravan. Now is the time to visit this beautiful capital. Moreover,
I believe that as long as you give it time, you will definitely find someone more loyal and talented."
Lu Ning forced out a smile and said helplessly: "Since His Highness has said so, I will discuss it with Heping Si. If he is willing to go to the Censorship Department, I will never stop him!"
Yu Fengjin raised his glass in toast to her and laughed loudly: "Okay! Leader Lu is so generous. I'd like to give you a toast!" After that, he slowly stood up and raised his hand to Lu Ning in greeting: "I
There are very few visitors here on weekdays, but since everyone from the Lu Gang is here today, why don’t I show you around.”
"I've loved this place very much since I walked in. Since His Highness said so, I won't be polite!" Two faint pear dimples appeared on Lu Ning's pink cheeks.
The two walked slowly out of the bamboo forest side by side, and came to a sea of flowers in full swing. Looking around, the peach blossoms and peach leaves were intertwined with each other, and the flowers sprouted new red leaves, which were as green as green.
Lu Ning was dressed in red and stood in the sea of flowers, her cheeks flushed by the blossoming peach blossoms. She strolled in the sea of flowers, gently brushing each peach blossom with her hands, and a pleasant smile appeared on her face.
Yu Fengjin looked at her quietly not far away, with a faint smile on her lips. She couldn't help but whisper: "If you like, you can come often in the future. You are always welcome here."
Lu Ning looked back and smiled slightly, looking at the guards who happened to pass by, but said "Huh" unconsciously.
