Red Dust Inn

Chapter 5

Xue Yuxuan didn't stay in Qianzhou for a few days, Xue Yuhan let him return to Lingcheng, and the matter of him losing sight of the prince of Xiliang Kingdom was nothing.

Xue Yuxuan was alone, got on his horse, and left Qianzhou in a low-key manner.It was worth it to come this trip and meet someone he thought he would never see again.He didn't know that the price Hui Xi paid for seeing him was to lose his soul.He didn't know how he fell in love with Hui Xi in the first place. She is a romantic woman. Although she is good-looking, there are many women who are better-looking than her. With his status as the sixth prince of the Donggan Kingdom, what do you want? women do not.Although she is well-educated, gentle and pleasant, compared to her family background and well-educated ladies, she can be ranked from the west of the city to the east of the city.He still remembered the first time he saw Hui Xi, it was that glimpse that made him unable to extricate himself.

In Qianzhou City four years ago, there was a red light festival.

On a stage, a plain-clothed woman was playing the piano. A strand of blue hair on her forehead swept her face repeatedly as her body swayed. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes were thick and curly. A shadow is projected below, slender fingers caress the strings smoothly, and the melodious sound of the piano flows out slowly, as if floating from the distant sky, ethereal and mysterious.

The people in the audience were fascinated by what they heard, when suddenly there was a flute sound, high and low, light and heavy, round and round, like the continuous drizzle in spring, or the scorching sun in summer, accompanied by the sound of the zither The beat, lingering.The woman looked up at the flute player, the joy flowing in her eyes was unstoppable.The flute player smiled slightly at the woman, and continued to devote himself to the melody.

The sound of the piano stopped, the sound of the flute stopped, and when people came back to their senses, the two people on the stage had left together.

When Xue Tingjin came to the Yuanwei Tower, Hui Xi was playing the piano on the stage.He walked to his exclusive place, sent the girl serving tea away, and looked at Hui Xi intently. Hui Xi seemed to feel that he was coming, and looked to the second floor. seems to have love

The audience in the audience strongly urged Hui Xi to play another song, but Hui Xi just smiled back and went backstage.Huixi lived in the East Building, but when Xue Tingjin went to look for her, she was stopped by Jingyue. Jingyue was the person in charge of the East Building, and she was basically in charge of Huixi's daily life.

Xue Tingjin was very puzzled, he came here every now and then, and everything was unimpeded, what happened today?Jingyue said, "Mr. Jin, please go back. Miss Huixi is hired by someone today." Xue Jujin refused to leave, how could he believe that Huixi would pick up other guests, seeing that he insisted on going in, Jingyue had no choice but to go in. He is the prince, and even more the prince, Jingyue knew it, she couldn't be rough with him and could only say, "Miss Huixi's guest is the sixth prince."

Xue Tingjin froze in place. He never thought it was his sixth brother. He stood for a while and returned to the private seat in the south building.

Huixi played the piano with her head down, Xue Juxuan squinted at Huixi lying on the beauty's couch, tapped the edge of the couch with one hand and followed Huixi's rhythm. After the song was over, Huixi nodded and said, "Mr. ?”

Hui Xi's estrangement made him feel very uncomfortable, but he held back his temper, tried his best to relax his frowning brows, and let out a bright smile, "You can play whatever you like." Hui Xi nodded and tuned in. After a while, he continued to play the song that was played on the night of the Red Lantern Festival.Xue Yuxuan couldn't laugh anymore, that night was the first time he met her, and when he saw her playing the piano quietly, his heart suddenly softened.But Xue Tingjin got on the stage one step ahead of him. He clenched his fists in the dark and watched the two of them playing the piano and flute in harmony, cooperating tacitly, with lingering eyes.After that day, he searched all over Qianzhou City, only to find out that she was from Yuanwei Building.

He stood up abruptly, kicked the table next to him vigorously, and shouted at Hui Xi, "You like him so much? How can I not compare to him? Where?"

Hui Xi was so frightened that her hands shrank back, her fingertips were cut by the strings, but she didn't dare to cry out, she met his gaze, "You may be better than him in everything, but he never talks to me like this, never Don't force me to do things I don't like to do."

Xue Yuxuan was even more angry, the veins on her forehead were violent, and her handsome face was almost distorted. She said "maybe", which meant that she didn't understand him at all, or she didn't care about his good at all, and she divided them cleanly, just like Passerby.He has a quick temper, a bit like his third brother, but Xue Tinghan is more rational and calm than him.He was about to rush over, but he held back, took a few deep breaths, walked slowly towards Hui Xi, and stretched out his hand to grab Hui Xi's hand.

Hui Xi immediately retracted her hand, Xue Yuxuan was not annoyed, and said flatly, "Don't force me to use force." Hui Xi stared at him for a while, then stretched out his hand hesitantly.Xue Yuxuan stroked the wound on her fingertips, then put it into his mouth, and sucked it gently. Hui Xi blushed, and quickly withdrew her finger.

Xue Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, Hui Xi thought he was going to get angry again, but he just said, "My mother said, this can stop the bleeding." After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes, opened the door, and turned around and said, " I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

After Xue Tengxuan left, Hui Xi sat slumped on the cushion, the temperature on her fingers was still there, she wiped it vigorously, and went to find Xue Tingjin.As expected, Xue Tingjin hadn't left yet, seeing him sitting there quietly made her feel at ease.She walked over and sat across from him, and he smiled slightly, "You're here."

Hui Xi said while making tea, "I'm sorry, a guest asked me to play the piano today, I can't help it..." Xue Tingjin took the tea she handed over and smiled, "It's okay, I'll just wait for a while. He took a sip of tea, took out his jade flute and said, "Yesterday I wrote a new piece of music, can you listen to it?"

Hui Xi nodded.

Xue Tingjin closed his eyes, the sound of the flute was like a stream flowing under the blue sky and white clouds, flowing into Hui Xi's heart.After finishing the song, Hui Xi clapped her hands, "Such a good song, do you have a name?"

Xue Tingjin shook her head, "You can do me a favor." Hui Xi laughed in a low voice, tilted her head to one side, and thought seriously, "How about calling it Fushengzui?"

"Floating life is a dream with drunk eyes. The sea is like waves, the heart is like the bright moon, and the snow is like a gift from heaven. You are enchanting and I will accompany you, and you will never give up!" Xue Yujin smiled and looked at Huixi, who lowered his head, Chi Huixi She laughed, "If you come tomorrow, how about I return you a song?"

"Of course, wait for the girl's good news." Xue Tingjin cupped his hands deliberately.

The winter in Donggan Kingdom is the most beautiful. The snow here is the purest. From the light snow falling in the early winter to the heavy snow fluttering in the deep winter, each has its own charm, and they are all beautiful. I hesitate to fall in love with this place.

In Huixi's room, a plum blossom was in full bloom, and the fragrance filled the whole room. Xue Tengxuan removed the incense from the room, and fiddled with the plate of plum blossoms in front of the window by himself.Hui Xi didn't play the piano, she looked at Xue Yuxuan's back, and the anxious expression on her face became deeper and deeper.Xue Yuxuan was wearing a blue robe, and the fox fur coat was casually thrown on the couch. Huixi could only see his side face, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. The most beautiful part was his facial contours. , resolute yet gentle, fierce yet uninhibited, with a completely contradictory face, but unbelievably good-looking, Hui Xi had to admit that he was more handsome than any man she had ever seen.

Xue Yuxuan inserted the plum blossoms, looked left and right, nodded in satisfaction, and asked her, "Hui Xi, is it good?"

"Ah?" Hui Xi came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion.Xue Yuxuan frowned, and repeated it, Huixi noticed the plum blossoms on the window sill, the light yellow flowers, surrounded by white moon flowers, with dark green silk and satin next to it, making people see the coexistence of spring and winter , Hui Xi smiled, "It's pretty."

Xue Yuxuan seemed to be in a good mood, talking to Hui Xi endlessly. Hui Xi was still listening at first, but suddenly remembered that Xue Yujin would come, and was a little flustered. Xue Yuxuan saw her emotions and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Hui Xi wiped her forehead with her sleeve, and she couldn't speak smoothly, "I'm a little tired." Xue Yuxuan smiled and got up and picked up his cloak, "I'll go back first." After Xue Yuxuan left, Hui Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. She drank tea at the table and waited for Xue Tingjin to come to her, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.

She didn't know that when Xue Tingjin came, he met Xue Tingxuan going out, and the two people who didn't have a good relationship met in this situation, and they were even more jealous.Xue Tingjin was walking on the street, thinking of Xue Tingxuan's words, "Sooner or later, Huixi will be mine." Suddenly feeling a little cold, he quickened his pace.

For several days, Xue Tingjin never came to look for Hui Xi, but Xue Tingxuan came every day, bringing some gadgets or fresh fruits.Hui Xi was listless all day long, and she hadn't played the song she specially wrote to that person until today. She really wanted to know what he was doing, what he was thinking, and whether he thought of her.And sitting next to her was another man.

Xue Tingjin finally came, and when he entered the door, he saw Hui Xi's unhappy expression, knew that she was angry, walked up to her with a smile, handed her the box in his hand, and said apologetically, "Hui Xi, that day really I'm sorry, I..." Hui Xi opened the box, and inside was a jade bracelet, crystal clear, green and transparent, with a trace of blood red in the middle, "Wow, where did you get such a beautiful bracelet?"

Xue Tingjin originally came to apologize, but Hui Xi interrupted him just like that, and he changed the subject, "This is the tribute from the North Jiang Kingdom this year. I think it is quite suitable for you, so I will leave it to you." Xue Ting Jin took the bracelet and put it on her carefully, "Do you like it?"

Hui Xi nodded, she walked to the piano, brushed it casually, and found that the bracelet on her hand was in the way, she looked at Xue Tingjin in distress, Xue Tingjin walked over, helped her take it off and put it away, and sat beside her Playing the qin with her hand, "Water flows like a stream, like a moon and evening, and the king looks like it."

Hui Xi heard the meaning of the words, her cheeks flushed with shame, she opened his hand and said, "Listen to me playing for you."

When Xue Yuxuan came again, Hui Xi became extremely indifferent. She didn't want to be entangled with two men, let alone two brothers. She should be more straightforward, even if she left Yuanwei Tower, she had to make up her mind.But Xue Yuxuan was not such an easy person to deal with, he held back his anger, approached Hui Xi step by step, and asked her why over and over again.

Hui Xi looked up at him, gritted her teeth and said, "I like your elder brother, not you, Mr. Xuan, there are many good girls waiting for you, why do you have to have me."

Xue Yuxuan sneered, "Then why do you insist on Xue Yujin? Why don't you consider all the good men?" Huixi was speechless, Xue Yuxuan grabbed her hand and continued, "Huixi, come with me Okay, I will redeem you, go now, leave this place forever, from now on you will be mine alone, and you will never have to look at other people's faces."

Hui Xi tried to shake off his hand, but her strength was not as strong as his. Pain burst from her wrist, and she cried out, "You're hurting me, let go quickly." He couldn't bear to hurt her.At this time, Xue Tingjin opened the door and came in. Looking at the two of them, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xue Yuxuan stared at Hui Xi, "I won't give up." After speaking, he took a look at Xue Yujin and strode away.

Xue Yujin pulled Hui Xi and asked her, "Are you okay?" Hui Xi shook her head, forcing back the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at him with burning eyes, "Can you take me away?"

Xue Tingjin was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. He is the prince and the future king of a country. He can take her away from here. However, she will never be his concubine, and it may be difficult to be a concubine. Moreover, soon After that he might be getting married.He didn't want to hurt Hui Xi, but he was also reluctant to part with Hui Xi.

Seeing Xue Tingjin's silence, Hui Xi's heart sank a little bit. Even Xue Tingxuan could categorically say to take her away, but the man she loved so much hesitated.Just when Huixi was about to despair, Xue Tingjin said, "Huixi, I might get married, a marriage bestowed by my father."

Hui Xi only felt her eyes go dark, and she fell on the chair, with severe pain in her heart, her voice trembling, "Who?"

"General Murong's daughter, Murong Feixue." Xue Tingjin spoke with some difficulty.

"Hehe..." Hui Xi laughed, "The general's daughter is indeed worthy of you, and it will be of great help to your succession in the future, so you are married to her, right?"

Xue Tingjin was a little irritable. He walked back and forth twice, took another sip of tea and said, "I don't want to be an emperor at all, but do you know how chaotic the situation is now? The third brother thinks, and the sixth brother also thinks, some time ago , the third brother was poisoned, and there were rumors that it was the sixth brother who did it. The third brother won a battle with Xiliang last year and married the daughter of General Shen. It seems that I don't have much strength, but the actual situation is only clear to him. Father is old, and he is also worried. He is worried that the situation will not be controlled, so he must consolidate his strength for me. He has invested so much effort in me. I don't want him to Disappointed. But I don't want to hurt you, I want to marry you as my wife in a fair and honest manner, but before I could tell my father, he proposed marriage to me."

"Jin, why are you so naive? Even if you don't marry Murong Feixue, I can't be your wife." Hui Xi smiled bitterly, but she felt much better after hearing Xue Tingjin's words.

"Hui Xi, actually, I thought... when I ascend to the throne of God, no one will be able to stop us, but we can't wait for that day." Xue Tingjin buried his head in his arms and said dejectedly.

Huixi played the piano, the sound of the piano flowed out slowly, brisk and bright, Xue Tingjin looked at her, she smiled indifferently, "This is fine now, I want to be with you, but as me, it is impossible to stand upright By your side, from the moment I know your identity, I should understand, as long as you have me in your heart, I will be satisfied." Hui Xi flicked the last syllable, closed her eyes, "Go and marry Miss Murong, don't tell me that on the wedding day."

Xue Tingjin clenched his fists and said nothing.
