incomprehensible

When Lan Qi woke up, he was lazy and didn't want to move. For the first time, he didn't want to get up because he was comfortable.The bed is soft, and the pillows are also soft. The dense and thick goose down bed curtain completely blocks the outside skylight, only the night pearl inlaid on the head of the bed emits a weak and soft light; .

I have lived carefully for so many years, and I have never had such a comfortable time; there is no burden, no deceit and calculation, no need to think about anything, you can act coquettishly and play your temper wantonly, and you can even be lazy and stay out of bed.

After only one night of this kind of day, I have already fully enjoyed it, and it really is easy to change from frugality to extravagance.

However, no matter how lazy he is, his work and rest are too regular on weekdays, and he can't fall asleep even if he wants to sleep again, so he wakes up slowly.I looked at the sky, but it was just past the hour, so it wasn't too late for breakfast.

Ye Xuehuan likes to see him in red clothes, but also knows that he doesn't like to be too ostentatious, so most of the clothes prepared for him are thin red and dark red.Lan Qi was somewhat resistant at first, but now he is used to it. He picked out a light red smock and put it on, and opened the door casually.

The climate in Danlu is very different from that in the southwest. This season is cold in the morning and evening, but the sun is extremely bright. It can be said that autumn is really refreshing.The servant standing outside the room was in a daze, but when the door opened, he was startled and almost didn't cry out.

When Ye Xuehuan returned to Danlu this time, he had to stay until the end of the year, which was longer than in previous years. Naturally, there were a lot of preparations to be done in the garden; When Lan Qi woke up, he couldn't help being a little surprised.What happened in Ye Xuehuan's room last night, how can he, an old eunuch who has served in the palace for many years, not know; he thought that Lan Qi would at least go to bed for breakfast, but he didn't expect to be able to withstand the toss so much.

Although she looked slender and thin, she was not a delicate woman, and she didn't need to pretend to be sick and weak to deceive her.

Gao Qian has served Ye Xuehuan for many years, and he has only been responsible for sending away the people on his bed. This is the first time he has served the person on his bed.Fortunately, this little master also took care of himself and disciplined himself like Ye Xuehuan himself. The kitchen didn't cook his breakfast at all, and he couldn't let him eat the same breakfast as the servants, so he had to buy it from outside in a hurry and made him wait for a while. At that time, he was not picky or disgusting, his attitude was neither arrogant nor impatient, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and he had a clear little face, showing no joy or anger.

Gao Qian knew at a glance that he and Ye Xuehuan were the same kind of people, easy to talk but not easy to provoke, easy to serve but difficult to deal with, so he knew it in his heart, stepped forward and said with a smile: "The young master ordered this morning, if the young master If you feel bored, this old slave will accompany you out for a walk, so that you can have a look at Danlu City."

When Lan Qi heard the word "little young master", he couldn't help but startled.He was originally the young master of the Qi family, and he was used to this title since he was a child, but he still misses it when he hears it now; coupled with the Jiangdong style of the garden, he suddenly seems to have returned to the past.

It's not a good memory, but it's not too unbearable to look back on, so let's just let it go with a sigh of relief, and shake his head: "No, you're busy."

After all, he is not a man of iron, and being able to get up does not mean that he is willing to go out, let alone he is not very interested.

Gao Qian agreed, and left two servants to wait on him at any time, so he continued to manage the garden and prepare for Ye Xuehuan's long-term stay.

Lan Qi went to the study, and saw a big wooden box on the ground as soon as he entered the door, and then remembered that Mo Ran brought Ye Xuexun a gift for him yesterday.As soon as I opened it, the box was full of books, but the titles of each volume were very intriguing; I flipped through them casually, and it turned out that they were not serious stuff.

He sighed, the fourth prince was really tireless in teaching and persevering, so he decided to save it until Ye Xuehuan came back to file a complaint.

Ye Xuehuan's study room is mostly about the art of war and political theory. Lan Qi knows little about this, so he picked out a book he was interested in, and sat at the desk to read it slowly.Occasionally, Ye Xuehuan can see the notes that Ye Xuehuan made in the past on the eyebrows, with a few words, sharp to the point, very in his style.

Lan Qi was originally intelligent, and his memory and comprehension were far superior to ordinary people. This kind of boring political theory can be inferred. After Huan's handwriting.Thinking of how Ye Xuehuan would feel if he had time to look back and find that he had refuted him in the future, he couldn't help but laugh.

Originally, he wanted to spend the day like this, adding some content to Ye Xuehuan's books, but someone just didn't want him to be idle.

"...Mr. Lan."

Tong Xuan looked very embarrassed and embarrassed, "I don't intend to disturb..."

Lan Qi ignored what he was saying, and focused all his attention on the young man beside him.

It's hard to describe how good this person's appearance is. The facial features are not outstanding when viewed alone, but they are perfect when put together; the eyebrows are too high, and the corners of the eyes are too charming, and the bridge of the nose is straight. A little bit is too blunt, a little redder the lips are too feminine, a little whiter the skin is too sickly, a little smoother the hair is too oily, even the figure is tall and straight just right, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin , it's not the kind of amazingness that can overwhelm the city and the country, but it is full of strong human fireworks, vivid and real, making people feel extremely comfortable, and the more you look at it, the more you feel that you can't move your eyes away.

The word "beauty" is not enough to describe this natural sense of harmony, but there is no other word to sum it up other than this word. No wonder everyone says he is the number one beauty in Danlu.

However, beauty is beauty, but the malicious smile on his face is really unflattering.He stared at Lan Qi up and down, stroked his chin and sighed in admiration: "It really is a cultivation system..."

Lan Qi was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean by cultivating the system?"

Tong Xuan covered his face, and before he could stop him, Lu Yao showed a wretched smile, shook his head and replied, "It's just you who do it from top to bottom, from front to back, from inside to outside, from first love to first kiss to first night. There is only one natural, pollution-free cutie."

Lan Qi: "..."

Lu Yao turned his head and said to Tong Xuanyao, "Look, I have already said that our Highness likes this one, right?"

Lan Qi: "..."

"Ayao!"

Tong Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, "You promised me not to talk nonsense!"

He hurriedly apologized to Lan Qi: "Mr. Lan, I'm sorry, Ah Yao didn't stop me from speaking, you... don't worry about it."

Lan Qi didn't know what to say for a moment, looked between the two of them, and hummed noncommittally.

He had heard Ye Xuehuan mention Lu Yao many times. It is said that this beauty has insisted for a long time that she is a god who descended to the mortal world. Of course, it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not, but he does often say some inexplicable and inexplicable things. There are often some wild and fantastic ideas, which are fundamentally different from ordinary people.People like Tong Xuan have already had experience, and when they encounter something they don’t understand, they will automatically skip it, and they must not delve into the meaning, otherwise they will be the ones who will die of anger.

It's a pity that Lan Qi didn't have this kind of experience, so he was naturally surprised.In Ye Xuehuan's words, even if he is really a god who has gone down to earth, he must have hit the ground head first and something went wrong; even people like Chu Changyue who never uttered bad words commented on Lu Yao "In the mother's womb, I only cared about the long face but didn't develop the brain well", which shows what kind of strange person Lu Yao is.

Although I have heard about it a long time ago, but I actually saw it, it is really a bit... hard to describe.

Lan Qi thought about it, but still felt that he should not talk to Lu Yao, so he just asked Tong Xuan, "What's the matter, Commander Tong?"

However, before Tong Xuan could answer, Lu Yao preempted him: "Didn't your Highness go to the palace? According to my experience, you won't be able to come back until evening. Leave a little cutie at home and be lonely and cold. Of course you have to abduct... no, take it out for fun."

Lan Qi: "..."

Tong Xuan hurriedly explained: "Master Lan, Ah Yao has no malicious intentions, but you are new to Danlu, and His Highness has been busy these few days, so he wanted to take you out for a walk, as a landlord, please don't misunderstand."

That's what he said, but Lan Qi was very clear in his heart.Although Xuan Feng recognized him now, Tong Xuan and the others were all wary of him at the beginning without exception.Lu Yao is also Ye Xuehuan's subordinate, and he is also the queen of spies. He is also a secret agent, so it is normal to be curious; it is only a matter of doing the landlord's friendship, and it is true to spy on the truth.

It wasn't out of malice, not to mention that the kindness is hard to turn down, he didn't want to refuse, cleared his throat, thought about his words, and said: "Mr. Lu..."

"Don't call me so ridiculous, Lan Jiang."

Before he could say anything, Lu Yao threw himself on the desk; Lan Qi instinctively dodged backwards, and saved the books on the desk with quick eyesight and hands.Lu Yao flinched and didn't care, put his hands on his chin, and flirted with him flirtatiously, "Let's make friends."

"……Sauce?"

"Isn't it cute?" Lu Yao smiled even brighter, "Call me, brother?"

Tong Xuan immediately wanted to rush up and drag Lu Yao back, but Lan Qi shouted without hesitation: "Brother Lu."

Lu Yao: "..."

Obviously it was his own request, but Lu Yao felt uncomfortable when he was really called brother.Lan Qi's voice was rather soft, but that face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were staring straight at the person, as if no tricks could escape those eyes.

Lu Yao was defeated by the general, and he secretly thought that it was a bad idea. This trick of fighting poison with poison can be said to be quite clever. Ye Xuehuan's little lover is really not easy to mess with, the idea is too hard to be trampled on.

But of course Lu Yao would not admit defeat, so he said with a smile: "Oh, so good, our Highness is really good at training."

Tong Xuan: "..."

Lan Qi folded the books in his hands, imitating Lu Yao, resting his cheeks on the desk with both hands, widening his beautiful almond eyes, tilting his head and asking, "What does brother Lu want to play with me?"

Although Lan Qi looks plain, he is by no means a plain temper; Tong Xuan still has a deep impression on how he played with Mo Ran back then.Now being pampered by Ye Xuehuan at the tip of his heart, he is no longer the indifference of the past, but all the bad tempers in his bones have come out.Especially after the Yunshuiguan chaos, Lan Qi became more obedient and soft in front of Ye Xuehuan, but his mouth became more and more poisonous, and he often sang with Ye Xuehuan, and the whole Xuanfeng was molested to the point of misery.Tong Xuan was of course the first to bear the brunt, Wei Yan also failed to escape, and when he finally left Yunshuiguan, Bai Houwan almost cried with joy, I really don't know whether he has become better or harder to get along with.

Lu Yao's knowledge of Lan Qi probably stayed in June and July, when Lan Qi just started to help train Xuanfeng, all the guards commented that he was not sociable but cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but he was a little "shy and shy"; The information was lagging behind, which led to a wrong judgment, and he flirted with him when he opened his mouth. In the end, Lan Qi molested him back without making a fuss, and he himself suffered a dark loss.

Anyway, Tong Xuan had nothing to do with Lu Yao, even Mo Ran had to make a detour when he saw him, only Ye Xuehuan, the master, could control this aunt.And Lan Qi's rank is obviously much higher than that of Lu Yao, and Tong Xuan knew that he was interested because he made this gesture at this time.

Today is definitely not going to be good.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Brother will take you to eat, drink and go shopping in brothels!"

Tong Xuan almost turned over, "going to a brothel for food and drink" is what Lu Yao used to say on weekdays, of course he would not really go to a brothel, but asking Lan Qi for this kind of verbal advantage is no different Yu Xiangye Xuehuan splashed green on the top of his head, Lu Yao would have to cry only if the ancestor knew about it.

Lan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the meaningful eyes almost resembled Ye Xuehuan, full of pressure.

"...Okay." He stood up, and said to Lu Yao gently and slowly, "Eating delicious food, drinking spicy food and visiting brothels...you can't miss anything."

Tong Xuan was suddenly desperate.

…………

Danlu City has a thousand-year history, and it has been expanded many times since the former Feng family, and this is how it is today.There is an inland river in the city, which diverts water from the Fenghui River, and passes through the city from east to west. There are also many small waterways throughout the city, which are convenient for daily life.The name of this inland river is "Wuzhi", which also comes from the Feng family, implying that Danlu City is the nest of the Feng family, built on Wuzhi.

Yexue's is very lazy in this respect, he doesn't pay attention to form like Feng's, almost all place names are used in the past, there are still traces of Feng's everywhere in Danlu City, to some extent, it is Yexue's respect for Feng's ridicule.

The Wuzhi River divides Danlu City into two parts. The northern part is the imperial city, which is heavily guarded. It is called the upper part of the city, and the lower part of the city is the residence of common people.

Those who can settle in Danlu City are naturally not ordinary civilians, most of them are wealthy businessmen who have money but no power. When their business gets bigger, they want a higher status, and they do everything possible to cling to the powerful and move into the upper city; however, Wuzhi The river is an extremely difficult dividing line. Many wealthy businessmen can only stay in the lower city all their lives, looking across the river, but have nowhere to go.

Money may be able to exchange for power in other places, but it doesn't work in Danlu; rich people are everywhere, but they are worthless, not to mention the real rich and powerful have their own ways of making money, and they don't need these rich businessmen to curry favor. Xuehuan has Lu Yao as a cash cow.

Lu Yao was originally a spy sent by Liu Jiaxun, but he was instigated as soon as he was sent out; or to be more precise, he turned his back on himself, and he was extremely decisive.I heard that Lu Yao and Tong Xuan were childhood friends, childhood sweethearts, but Lu Yao has no memory of before the age of ten.

After learning about the conspiracy between the Liu family and the Skylark, Ye Xuehuan speculated that Lu Yao was probably the first batch of experimental subjects when the Liu family first cooperated with the Skylark, and used medicine on him; but Lan Qi was not familiar with pharmacology, and could not Determine whether there are traces of drug use.

Lu Yao himself didn't care about it, the Liu family didn't seem to have any expectations on him at first, they just thought he was a failed and defective product, who attempted assassination twice in a perfunctory manner, so they gave up.

From Lan Qi's point of view, Lu Yao really doesn't look like a spy, and his work as a spy queen seems to be more about collecting and integrating, not on the front line, but Ye Xuehuan's entire intelligence network is He is taking care of.

Being able to gain such trust naturally shows that he is not as unreliable as he seems; but most of the time, he has nothing to do with the word "espionage" at all, and instead becomes the best cover-up.

Just like now, he is wandering in the street swaggeringly with Lan Qi.

Danlu is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery outside the city is boundless, but there are not many scenic spots to see in the city, it is completely a golden cave.Of the four cities in the southeast, northwest and north, all three are in the lower city, while the only one in the upper city, Beishi, occupies the smallest area and has the fewest shops, but there are more money transactions in it than the other three cities combined, and the rich and powerful are not allowed to enter.There are eight long streets in four directions, four lengths and four directions, all of which are paved with the best granite stones. Almost all teahouses and restaurants are in the size of courtyards, each with its own elegance.There were not many passers-by, all of them were dressed luxuriously, followed by two or three servants, their appearance and demeanor were by no means comparable to those of the rich people in the lower city.

Further to the northwest is the imperial city. Walking in Beishi, you can always overlook the solemn golden tiles and red walls.The bustling place at the foot of the imperial city is not lively, but there is a taste of luxury everywhere, not only the extravagance created by money, but also the enjoyment represented by power and belonging only to the superiors.Compared with it, Youling Flower Market can only be described as shabby.

Lan Qi had never had any idea about these things in the past, but now that he is walking in this world of luxury and wealth, he realizes more deeply that Ye Xuehuan is a prince after all. Everything is just a corner of his life.

No one doesn't like prosperity and wealth, but real prosperity and wealth often only come with power.It's just that the heights are extremely cold after all, and the people of Danlu Shangcheng live above the clouds, but they also walk between the blades.

Walking slowly, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, all of them are wearing official uniforms, it seems that they just happened to be in the Sanchao.

Many officials will pass through Beishi on their way home, and if they are interested, they can stop by for a cup of tea and a chat.However, at this time, most of these officials were worried, obviously not in the mood to drink tea and chat; they were all followed by soft sedan chairs, but they walked together in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

Lan Qi's hearing ability is excellent, and he could vaguely hear something along the wind. In all likelihood, they are talking about Ye Xuehuan's return to the court, speculating whether he is planning to attack the Liu family, whether to fight for reserves, and what will happen to the court Change, should we consider standing in line? When they saw Lu Yao approaching, they all shut up and barely showed a friendly smile.

A third-rank court official thought for a moment, then stepped forward to say hello: "Young Master Lu, Commander Tong."

He also put Lu Yao in front of Tong Xuan in this greeting, but no one thought it was inappropriate; Tong Xuan bowed his head to return the salute, but Lu Yao had a smirk on his face: "Oh, Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. What can I do?"

There's nothing good about blocking people halfway, but Lu Yao doesn't seem to see his intention at all.

Master Li hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, my wife has been looking for a piece of good jade to inlay the bracelet recently. I wonder if there is any suitable one in Mr. Lu's shop?"

Lu Yao was overjoyed when he heard it, there was no reason not to take the money offered to him, he nodded with a smile and said, "Of course there is."

This Mr. Li was the Minister of the Household Department who was almost scared to cry by Ye Xuehuan's sentence "It's better to re-statistic the household registration next year".In fact, Ye Xuehuan just mentioned it casually, and he had already forgotten about it, but this Lord Shangshu was always in a hurry, afraid that Ye Xuehuan would come to the truth.Lu Yao knew what he was going to ask, so he hooked his fingers.

Li Shangshu's brows were beaming with joy, and he hurriedly listened to Lu Yao's words, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. If your Highness really wants to make things difficult, there's no need to wait until now. But..."

This "but" just put Li Shangshu's heart in his throat. Lu Yao smiled secretly for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "...But this case has not been closed yet, and His Highness is personally investigating it." , I can’t say it right now...Master Li, remember to bring your wife to my shop."

This implication couldn't be more obvious. If you can't say it now, you can say it with money.Li Shangshu repeatedly agreed, and then pretended to be polite, and then left worried.

The high officials in the court naturally knew that Lu Yao was Ye Xuehuan's person, but no one could say for sure what the relationship was.Most people guessed that Lu Yao was Ye Xuehuan's male favourite. Of course Lu Yao would not admit it, but he did not deny it; Ye Xuehuan's attitude was even more ambiguous. With a meaningful smile on his face, people can't tell the truth.But as long as he returns to Danlu, he will definitely send his guard commander to Lu Yao's side. This is obvious to all, and it can be seen how favored this number one beauty in Danlu is.

Lu Yao has always been this kind of virtue, only money is on his mind, and he can talk when he gives money. He often reveals Ye Xuehuan's movements in private, and he has a very arrogant face; way.There were rumors before that the third prince had a new favorite, and he was inseparable with him during the southern tour. Many people thought that Lu Yao's good days were over; seeing that Tong Xuan was still following him, they knew that this relationship was still there.

Lu Yao is indeed a door, but whether this door can be opened, who to open, how much to open, and how to open it are all arranged by Ye Xuehuan.Lu Yao is too ostentatious, no one will think that he is Ye Xuehuan's intelligence center; and Tong Xuan is too upright and reserved, no one will believe that he is Lu Yao's serious man.The two of them are so disrespectful, but they have kept this relationship under wraps, and few people know the truth.

Although Lu Yao is not very happy to be Ye Xuehuan's "male pet", but he is very happy to make money by pretending to be a tiger. While sucking his saliva and thinking about the huge sum of money that will be received, he slanders Li Shangshu for being too blind, Ye Xuehuan's real card The little lover was standing beside him, but he only knew how to bribe himself, so he deserved no future.

Just about to show off to Lan Qi, when he turned around, he was dumbfounded: "Where is the person?"

Tong Xuan shrugged, "I will come out by myself."

Lu Yao rolled his eyes. Although he had heard that Lan Qi appeared and disappeared, it was too scary to disappear out of nowhere. No wonder Li Shangshu didn't even ask a question, since he didn't see anyone at all.

After walking for a while, Lan Qi did not know when to follow him again.Lu Yao complained: "Lan Jiang, you are very mean. They are here to spy on your man, but you hide quickly."

Lan Qi said: "I saw that old censor just now, he recognizes me."

"Oh, old man Jiang." Lu Yao suddenly said, "Then the old man will retire at the end of the year, right?"

Regarding this Jiang Yushi, Ye Xuehuan also mentioned before that he is too upright, his brain can't turn around, and he has been worrying all his life. Instead of letting him be used as a gunman when he grows old, it is better to let him retire quickly Return home, so as not to lose security at the end of the festival.

It wasn't out of revenge, but Lu Yao wanted to put on a miserable expression, shaking his head and feeling: "I offended your man, the end is really miserable."

Tong Xuan wanted to gag Lu Yao's mouth, but Lan Qi didn't respond, and said lightly, "It's good that you know."

Lu Yao was stunned: "So you were designed by this kind of person?!"

Tong Xuan: "..."

It can only be said that Lan Qi is indeed in a good mood today.

It is also very troublesome to deal with these officials all the time, so Lu Yao suggested to avoid the peak of the scattered dynasty.Zhiyue Tower is still some distance away, but luckily another clothing store under his name is nearby.

The name of this clothing store is Tianxiang Pavilion, and the name alone is nothing special, but there is a crescent moon mark on the plaque, which shows that it is Lu Yao's property.It is said that any clothing store and makeup shop with this mark has the highest price even in Beishi, but it attracts countless powerful people.

It was still early, and there were no customers in the shop. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with an amiable face. When he saw Lu Yao, he greeted him with a smile: "Boss, Master Nangong is already inside."

Lu Yao slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about him."

"Ayao, you let me go again!"

The voice from inside was soft and clear, with a slight Jiangdong accent. Although it was full of anger, but because it was still childish, it sounded like a baby.

Lu Yao hurriedly dragged Lan Qi into the room, and shouted, "Xiu-chan, I was wrong!"

As soon as he entered, he saw a young man in brocade clothes staring at Lu Yao, his cheeks puffed out and his mouth pouted with resentment.

He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had not yet been crowned, and his figure was well-proportioned and tight, exuding a vigorous vigor.However, that little round face is too cute, the cheeks on both sides are white and rosy, so tender that water can almost be squeezed out, and the eyes are big and round, even the eyeballs seem to be a circle larger than ordinary people, watery and shiny , the circulating gaze seems to have seized the good fortune of the world, with indescribable vigor and freshness.

He is so cute, so even if he wears gold and silver, he doesn't look vulgar at all. All kinds of jewelry and jade are piled up on him, but it just makes him more exquisite.

This young master of the Nangong family is really as rumored, he is a character like pearls and jade.

"It's you who called me here, yet...huh?"

The young master complained halfway, and suddenly saw Lan Qi next to Lu Yao, his two pairs of big eyes stared together, and there was a strange silence immediately.

"This! This, this, this!"

The young master flicked his sleeve, and there was a small folding fan in his hand. With a wrong finger, he opened it with a snap, blocking his exclaimed mouth, "Could it be! This is what Nuan Wen said! That, that, that! "

It is called a small folding fan because it is really small, only the size of a palm, so it can only cover his mouth; however, the entire fan is woven with gold silk, and the front is embroidered with Nangong's pearl carp with silver thread. On the back of the family crest, there is a flying "Xiu" character, and there is a jadeite fan pendant with a double fish pattern on it, which is very valuable at first glance.

Embroidering one's own name on the fan is such a tasteless and clichéd thing, let this young master do it, but it can still have a bit of cuteness.

Lan Qi glanced at the folding fan, his brain ached from his blah blah, and an extremely bad premonition welled up in his heart; sure enough, he saw the young master rushing over, his eyes shining brightly. He jumped on him and shouted: "...Sister-in-law three!"

Lan Qi: "..."

--------------------

Lu Meiren and Xiao Xiuxiu make their debut (Sahua~)

There are a lot of new characters in these chapters, after all, the plot drama is coming (no)
