It was the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Perhaps it was to celebrate the festival and even the heavens added to the fun. It rained early in the morning. When the sun came out, it was clear and cool, which made people feel good for no reason.
Yu Shu had nothing to do in the morning, so she went to Wangji Tower.
The weather was cool, so she asked the waiter to bring a rattan chair to the balcony. She warmed a pot of scented tea and sat next to the Fengshui Pool, reading the two volumes of Chaotic Sky Divination Record that had been kept at the bottom of the box for many days.
When she wanted to learn this strange art of Mount Longhu, no one taught her. She had to memorize it several times. Probably because of her limited aptitude, she memorized ten percent of it but could only understand less than ten percent. As a result, she lost interest in it for a period of time and put it on the shelf.
Now that Jing Chen wanted to take advantage of her, he reminded her of this Astrology Art. Now, she had other plans in mind.
In order to deal with being forced to do something in the future, she wanted to pave a way for herself as much as possible. The more skills she learned, the more capital she had to protect herself.
She sat here for the whole morning. Who knew that when it was almost noon, Xue Rui also came.
The two did not make an appointment in advance, so it was a bit unexpected that they would meet in a restaurant on such a day.
"Dingbo Hall is going to hold a banquet today. What are you doing here? Go home and dress up." Xue Rui walked to the front from behind Yu Shu and put one hand on her left shoulder. He glanced at the book in her hand and vaguely saw the clear handwriting on the paper.
Yu Shu closed the book and tilted her head to look at him. Seeing that he was wearing a formal official robe, she smiled and teased him.
"I'm fine. No matter how I dress up, I only have one nose and two eyes. I can't be a fairy. On the other hand, you are handsome. If you dress up well, I don't know how many young ladies you can charm at the Gentlemen's Banquet. Find me a beautiful sister-in-law. "
Hearing this, Xue Rui laughed angrily. He raised his hand to pinch the tip of her delicate nose and pinched it. He lowered his head and got closer to her,
"Do you want to call yourself sister-in-law?"
Yu Shu's vision darkened. Seeing that he was about to kiss her, she quickly covered his mouth with one hand and slid down from the chair. She stood a few steps away with the book under her arm and leaned against the fence. She blinked at him.
"Do you want to be my brother-in-law?"
"I wanted to, but you didn't agree." Xue Rui raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull her again. He happened to hold her hand that was holding the book and said,
"Tonight, Jing Chen will also attend the Gentlemen 'Banquet. Do you think he will do something?"
Hearing his words, Yu Shu remembered that she had met Jing Chen at the tea hut yesterday. She frowned slightly and said, "I was just about to tell you that I met Jing Chen yesterday and heard him talk about the reason for the [Fairy Maiden Six Letters] …"
Yu Shu repeated Jing Chen's words. When she said "kill without mercy", Xue Rui's expression changed slightly. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice,
"This is not much different from our previous speculation. Yun Hua probably died because of this. Shu, you must be careful. Don't let others know that you have a relationship with him. Put away that ring. Don't wear it. I'm always worried that other than Xin Lishan, someone else will recognize it. "
Yu Shu thought for a while but did not agree. She shook her head and said,
"Master once told me not to take off this ring at any time. I didn't listen to him at first, and disasters happened one after another. Later, when I wore it, it seemed to be much smoother. I don't know what is the relationship between the two. But Xin Lishan said that this is a treasure. I guess it will have the effect of turning misfortune into blessing. Just like the Adversity Blocking Stone on Jing Chen. If that is the case, it is better to wear it. Don't worry, I will hide it well and not let others see it. "
After listening to her explanation, Xue Rui did not force her anymore.
He turned to ask, "Just now, you said that you met Jing Chen. He only told you this and nothing else?"
Yu Shu glanced at him and said, "He asked me if I will go to the banquet tonight."
Xue Rui showed a trace of doubt on his face. He laughed and said, "Why did he ask this? If you go, just go. Can he still fight for a Golden Jade Hibiscus and give it to you?"
After he finished speaking, he saw Yu Shu's expression changed. He was stunned and then said in surprise,
"Don't tell me that he really intends to do this. Didn't they say that they found a substitute for you to lure the snake out of the hole? Then he showed his good side to you with great fanfare at the banquet. What is his purpose?"
Yu Shu sneered, "How do I know what they are thinking? Maybe they think that Zhan Xueyuan is attracting enough attention now, so they want to drag me out to avoid being exposed. After all, I had a friendship with Jing Chen before, and it's not that no one knows. But few people know that we have broken off our friendship these days. "
She thought it through. From the moment Jing Chen told Da Tidi that she was the one who broke his life, her business was no longer up to her.
Xue Rui looked at her face and his expression changed back and forth. After a few moments, he returned to normal. He rubbed her slender fingers and comforted her,
"No matter what, I will be with you."
Yu Shu turned around and saw his calm look. She felt much more at ease. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned her eyes to talk about his business.
"Don't keep talking about me. You are the troublesome one tonight. Commandery Princess Xi Wen set a trap for you. She is trying her best to snatch the Golden Jade Hibiscus. Let's see what you will do when she is sent to you."
Xue Rui said, "What else can I do? I will refuse her and make her give up."
Yu Shu was very satisfied with his attitude, but she pretended to be worried and said,
"Aren't you afraid that you will make her angry and cause more trouble?"
Xue Rui touched his chin and thought for a while. He said casually,
"It's still too early to say that. The people who will go to Dingbo Hall tonight are all capable people. Which one of them is not skilled in both the pen and the sword? But there are only two Golden Jade Hibiscus. It's not certain whether she will get it. You don't know that I also wanted to fight for one three years ago, but I didn't get it in the end. "
Yu Shu also knew that Dingbo Hall would be lively tonight. She looked at Xue Rui and her eyes were filled with memories. She seemed to be thinking of the scene three years ago. Maybe there was also the beautiful Tenth Princess.
She was a little unhappy in her heart. She snorted and pulled his hand in front of her. She rolled up his sleeve and revealed his wrist. She bit it hard. She only let go when she heard him gasp. She stretched out her finger and gently touched his angular jaw. She smiled and said,
"If it wasn't because of that troublesome person who can't let others know that we are in a relationship, I will snatch a hibiscus for you tonight no matter what. It will make you happy."
Xue Rui was dazzled by her delicate and arrogant smile, and he felt strangely delighted in his heart. In the next moment, his brows eased up, and he stared at her with eyes that were filled with tender affection as he said to her in a warm voice,
"I should say that."
As he finished speaking, he pulled her hand down and pulled her to his chest. He stroked her stiff back and stroked her hair.
"Next time before you bite me, ask me. I was thinking of you just now."
