Chapter 238 Life is like a play (1)
Haitang felt that although the Prince Yu's Mansion in Fengnan, Chu State, was carefully renovated, it was much more tacky than the Prince Sheng's Mansion in Yuling. It was overly carved and looked more like a theater than a peaceful residence.
Zhang Quan, the steward of Prince Yu's Mansion, led her to a side hall. After a while, Prince Yu Lin Yu came in with his concubine Xing Chun. Lin Yu is Lin Ying's cousin, only thirty years old. Haitang thought to herself
, he is also handsome. No wonder he had the ability to flirt with flowers and attract bees and butterflies when the old King Yu was alive. However, he just took over the entire Prince Yu's Mansion from the old King Yu who died of illness two years ago.
He complied with the wishes of the old King Yu and married the only daughter of General Xing's family in King Yu's army. It seems that the prodigal son turned back, changed his ways and returned to the right way, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Haitang curtly saluted Lin Yu and Xing Chun. When she saw the beautiful Xing Chun looking at her angrily, she couldn't help but snickered in her heart, and felt a little guilty. She felt that she had come to separate a couple for nothing, and it was not easy to deceive one.
It is really a sin for a man to turn back his prodigal son.
However, Xiao Xun, the leader of the Qi State, told her on the Qingshi Terrace that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. She came not only to avenge Lin Ying's small enmity in the orange forest, but also to achieve the great cause of unifying the Chu State.
King Yu Lin Yu looked puzzled and immediately asked: "Girl, I don't recognize you, who are you?"
Before Haitang could answer, Xing Chun snorted and said sarcastically: "Our Jade-faced Prince is always merciful, how could he remember a mere little singer from Huajieliuxiang?"
Haitang's face was charcoal gray, with only a pair of big eyes, watery, charming and affectionate. She ignored the questions and answers of the two people, and sang a Chen Guo Xiao tune that Song Yun taught her back then:
Taste the fine wine in Lanquan and admire the beauties in Fanjing
Maungcheng plays and sings all night long
Chen Guo invites you to stay
Spring walks in praise of the flower festival, and summer walks in the water sleeves
Not going out in autumn and winter, outside Jinyang Pass
Raise a cup to pour out all the sorrows
Haitang's voice was gentle and melodious, and singing Chen Guo's songs in Chuyin Qingqing had a feeling of being far away but close at hand, which was quite novel.
King Yu, who had always been fond of women, couldn't help but be moved by the singing, so he looked carefully at the girl's eyebrows and imagined that if the charcoal dust was wiped away, she would definitely have a beautiful face and fair skin. He also saw her loose clothes and neck.
There was a faint scar, and King Yu felt extremely pity for it.
After singing the song, Haitang suddenly looked at Prince Yu with a bright smile and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you still recognize me at this moment?"
Lin Yu didn't comment, but couldn't help being curious. She coughed twice and said, "Young lady, I'd better wash your face first and then talk to this king."
Xing Chun was furious, took a few steps forward, and tried to grab Haitang, wanting to slap her.
However, Haitang quickly dodged behind Lin Yu, grabbed Lin Yu's elbow, and begged delicately: "My lord, that's fine if you don't remember me, but your princess is the daughter of a military commander, and she has unique skills.
I also want to sing more songs for the prince, and I don’t want her to leave the palace."
Xing Chun immediately returned to Lin Yu and tried to hit Haitang again, forcing Haitang to scurry and dodge all over the room. Xing Chun had obviously touched Haitang several times, but it slipped away from her hands like a loach.
The butler Zhang Quan glanced at the furious princess, whose behavior was no longer dignified, and said to Lin Yu: "Your Majesty, that girl claims to be pregnant with the prince's child. If the princess doesn't show mercy..."
Lin Yu said in surprise: "What? Since my father died of illness, I have never gone out to do anything wrong. How could anyone else be pregnant with my child except the princess?"
Zhang Quan reminded in a low voice: "Since the prince said this, it seems that this woman has come with bad intentions, so it is better to end it early. Otherwise, it will really damage the prince's good reputation." But after the word "clear reputation" came out of his mouth, Zhang Quan
Everyone suddenly felt funny.
Lin Yu stepped forward and grabbed Xing Chun, turned to Haitang and said: "Girl, please come with me, let's talk clearly."
Haitang smiled and glared at Xing Chun, followed Lin Yu arrogantly, walked out of the side hall, and came to a secluded garden.
Lin Yu looked at Haitang curiously and asked gently: "Girl, what do you want from me? You didn't hesitate to break into the palace at the expense of your own reputation, and even made a grudge against the princess."
Haitang smiled brightly and looked even more charming under the sunshine. She said with something in her words: "Your Majesty, we met many years ago. Since we met the Prince, I have not dared to forget each other for a day. Now the Prince is married.
My dear, the world of mortals is only dust and has no color. To be honest, I am helpless and thinking of the prince, so I came here desperately to find a way out."
Lin Yu's ears softened. Hearing the girl's frank and gentle words, her heart moved and she said, "We have indeed met before? But where? Why don't I remember?"
Haitang gently pulled up a corner of Lin Yu's sleeve, lowered her head and whispered, infinitely shy: "Your Majesty, you really don't remember? Today the wind is warm and the sky is clear and the clouds are clear, so you asked me to take you to revisit your old place. How's that?"
?”
Lin Yu had not set foot in the world of fragrant jade for two years. At this moment, he faintly smelled a wisp of flower fragrance on the girl's body, and saw her jade-white hands pulling his sleeves, so his heart skipped a beat and he smiled.
She said: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Where will the girl take me? I'll accompany you!"
Haitang said: "Your Majesty, of course we didn't meet in Prince Yu's palace. Your Majesty, can you lead the way and take Haitang out from the side door of the palace? After leaving the palace, Haitang is like a fish in water. Although she can't get along with the prince, she can take him to travel around the world.
.”
Lin Yu allowed Haitang to hold his sleeve. Seeing that there was no one around, he took her around the garden and left through a small side door of Prince Yu's Mansion. As he walked, he said, "I thought even the princess couldn't catch you."
A little loach, I didn’t expect you to be a little thief fish who wants to take me around the rivers and lakes!”
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Haitang walked in front, deliberately dragging Lin Yu through several deep alleys in Fengnan City without anyone noticing.
Lin Yu naturally knew the road and knew that at the end of the deep alley was the beautiful Jinghua Lake. He had taken countless women through these uninhabited alleys and had a romantic time by the Jinghua Lake. Those
Among the women, there are Xiaojiabiyu who yearns for his romantic beauty, and there are singers and dancers who are greedy for wealth. However, they are all exquisitely dressed and brightly dressed. There has never been a woman like this girl today, who is gray-headed and unkempt, but she can still make people look beautiful.
His heart moved in vain. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. It turned out that the romantic young man had been depressed for a long time, and he was able to accept everyone who came!
Lin Yu was sighing for herself when she suddenly heard the little girl humming a new song:
After one night, where will the flowers fall and be buried?
Just say that life is also romantic, and death is also romantic.
A few tastes of love, true and false, are no longer unintentional.
Sigh, life is like a dream, life is like a play!
Lin Yu was listening to the music when he saw Jinghua Lake not far away, and there were tourists outing on the lakeside... Suddenly a sap came and knocked him unconscious. He didn't know that he was dragged into it again.
In an abandoned house.
The young man who was sapling saluted Shu'er and said, "Madam, the carriages, horses and boats have been prepared. We can set off for Yuling right now."
