Drunk Bamboo

"Is King Wen looking at us?!"

"He's talking to us?!"

"Really? Look, has my makeup been ruined?!"

"Are my clothes messy?!"

"Quick! Look at my clothes. Do they look good?!"

……

By the middle window on the second floor of Anhe Restaurant, seven or eight young girls in gorgeous clothes were blushing and vying to look at the handsome man downstairs, talking incoherently with excitement.

The sound reached Hua Qinfeng's ears.

He frowned in annoyance, not even bothering to raise his head.

"Stop making so much noise, hurry up, Fifth Brother!"

He had always known that Hua Qinming was outstanding in appearance and writing, and was the object of yearning for all the women in Zhongdu. In the past, when he occasionally walked with him, he could always hear the women's whispers and admiring eyes. It was really uncomfortable.

Now it's even more outrageous. He actually screamed in public. It's simply disgusting to watch.

"Wait, Third Brother, take a look at the second floor of Anhe Restaurant." Hua Qinming stopped him.

Hua Qinfeng was so annoyed that he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"What's so good about it? They all come here to see you. I hate seeing these women wearing colorful clothes, putting on makeup, and smelling so strong that it's killing me! Fifth brother, it's because you are too pretty and gentle that you attract these annoying women."

As he was talking, he thought of Xie Yuzhu, who had a plain face.

She is still the most comfortable to look at.

But when he thought about what she said that day, about letting him take a concubine, he became furious.

I almost hurt her because of this, and I was very upset.

I don’t know how to face Xie Yuzhu.

"No..." Hua Qinming actually waved with a smile.

"Stop looking at me. What are you laughing at? Why are you waving at me?!" Hua Qinfeng wanted to leave first and didn't want to walk with him anymore.

At this time, Chaoyang said, "Your Majesty, it's the princess! The princess is upstairs."

"Xie Yuzhu? Why is she here?" Hua Qinfeng immediately looked up and saw Xie Yuzhu standing at the window, with a dazzling red color beside her. "Why is she here too!"

"Who is Third Brother talking about?"

Hua Qinfeng ran towards Anhe Restaurant.

"Why did the third brother come into the restaurant?" Hua Qinming followed him.

The girls in the building were furious.

"Wen Dynasty is coming towards us!"

"Ah! He went into the Anhe Restaurant!"

"He must have taken a fancy to me!"

One of the purple-dressed girls said excitedly:

"I specifically inquired from my father that today is the first day that King Wen attends court. All officials will definitely pass by Anhe Restaurant when going to and from court, so they waited here early in the morning. Sure enough, they saw the handsome King Wen. From now on, I will book this seat in this restaurant so that I can see King Wen every day!"

The girl in a pink dress was not to be outdone:

"Everyone knows that His Majesty has been selecting a princess for Prince Wen recently. You are not the only one in this restaurant today. Everyone should rely on their own abilities. Let's see who Prince Wen likes."

"What are you two arguing about? King Wen is coming!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Don't block me from seeing King Wen!"

"Ah! It looks better when you look at it up close!"

……

Xie Yuzhu's eardrums were about to be broken.

These ladies who usually look gentle and virtuous don't care about their image when they see handsome guys.

It’s similar to modern star chasing.

What is a kind and elegant mind, what is dignified and gentle, what is elegant manners?

At this moment, everything is void.

But Xiao Bingxin only had that handsome figure in her eyes.

King Wen.

It turned out to be him.

King Wen, Hua Qinming.

"Why don't you just stay in the house? What are you doing here?"

Hua Qinfeng rushed upstairs in one quick step, glanced at Xie Yuzhu, and then stared fiercely at Xiao Bingxin.

"I am here to accompany the princess and sister-in-law to relax, don't be angry, brother Feng." Xiao Bingxin suppressed the joy and excitement in her heart and opened her pair of charming big eyes.

While King Wen was still waiting to catch up, he took the opportunity to put the scattered portraits on the table into his sleeves.

"What are you going to do now?" Hua Qinfeng asked.

"Princess sister-in-law, have I been good and obedient? I haven't caused you any trouble, right?" She hid behind Xie Yuzhu, looking like a little bird.

"Miss Xiao Si has been in the mansion for two days. I brought her out to get some fresh air. Now we will go back to the mansion together with the prince."

All eyes were focused here, and Xie Yuzhu could only try to ease the atmosphere.

How could this group of ladies from well-off families withstand Hua Qinfeng's shocking roar? They all complained.

"Isn't this the Wind King?! He's even scarier than the rumors say!"

"Why are you so cruel to women..."

Hua Qinfeng glanced at them coldly with the corner of his eyes, and the ladies were all frightened, shut their mouths and dared not come forward.

At this time, Hua Qinming also arrived.

His manners are elegant and calm, forming a sharp contrast with the Huaqin style.

"Meet the Third Imperial Sister-in-law."

Xie Yuzhu smiled politely: "Hello, Fifth Brother."

Xiao Bingxin bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, King Wen."

Hua Qinming smiled and said, "This girl is unfamiliar to me. She doesn't look like a Zhongdu girl."

She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, her voice was very pleasant: "I am Xiao Bingxin from the Xilin Xiao family."

"So she is General Xiao's daughter. Excuse me."

"Bingxin dare not. Bingxin encountered a disaster two days ago. Thanks to King Wen who passed by and rescued her. I will never forget your life-saving grace. Bingxin will remember it in her heart." Xiao Bingxin raised her eyes slightly, her eyes moving and her face shy.

It seemed like an accident. Soon, Hua Qinming's expression returned to a gentle and smiling look.

"Miss Xiao is the girl from that day? What a coincidence. I was going back to Zhongdu after paying homage to the imperial mausoleum, but I didn't expect to encounter a villain bullying a girl in broad daylight. Anyone who saw her would help her, so it's nothing to worry about."

"The Xiao family has always been a family that repays favors, let alone the favor of saving my life. Bingxin will never forget it." Xiao Bingxin bowed again.

This dignified and quiet appearance is really good at pretending.

Xie Yuzhu secretly marveled in her heart that if Xiao Bingxin were alive in modern times, she would definitely be an excellent actor.

"Since we are so destined to meet, why don't we sit down and talk? Or should we go back to the palace together?"

Xiao Bingxin blushed: "If King Wen doesn't mind..."

He was interrupted by Hua Qinfeng's impatient voice: "Go back home! It's crowded here, where is there anything to sit?"

He then said to Hua Qinming, "Didn't my fifth brother just say that he had something to do in the palace, so he didn't invite you to sit in the palace."

She smiled and said in a friendly manner: "Third sister-in-law, Miss Xiao, I can't drink tea with you today."

Xiao Bingxin was reluctant to leave: "I will definitely go to your house in person to thank King Wen someday."

Hua Qinming: "Miss Xiao, you're welcome."

It was a while after they left the restaurant that the lady upstairs finally came to her senses.

The girl in the pink dress spoke first:

"What are you still looking at? Everyone has gone far away."

"Ah - that girl is from the Xilin Xiao family, one of the four famous families in Rao State. I don't think there is much hope. She even came from Xilin to Zhongdu, it must be for the marriage of King Wen."

"Your Majesty loves King Wen. If King Wen doesn't like a woman, Your Majesty won't force him to marry a woman he doesn't like."

"You're the only one who's being stubborn. Are you as pretty as Xiao Bingxin?"

"If you grow up with other people's ambitions, you will destroy your own prestige!"

"Today I am able to see King Wen so closely. I have no regrets in my life."

The purple girl does not give up:

"There is also the Liushang Qushui Banquet tomorrow, we must seize the opportunity!"

Hope rekindled in the pink-dressed girl's eyes:

"Yes, go back home and prepare clothes and hairpins for tomorrow!"
