Chapter 249 Walking in the Rain
Tang Wanzhuang stepped on the water and floated straight into the balcony.
In the heavy rain, her body was covered with mist, and even a drop of water was not stained. The water mist splashed around her, like a fairy riding in the mist, with ribbons fluttering, and she was so beautiful.
Suzaku felt his teeth tingle at the sight, and had to admit that this stinky woman was really beautiful.
Think about that young boy of the same age who was so swarming, why was the emperor so charming and crowned the capital? There were obviously more flies surrounding you, okay?
Do men just follow the tricks of fairies?
It's a pity that almost all the men of the same generation are trash, why can't any of them get her into the bridal chamber to make people laugh?
Looking at the current rankings of heaven and earth, none of the men ranked before and after her are middle-aged, and they are not from the same generation at all. There is no one of their generation who is better than them... The two of them are secretly competing with each other. Who wants to get along with a weakling first, or find an older one and be laughed at by the other party for the rest of his life?
After so many years of struggle, both of them are single. I don’t know part of it is because they are too proud, and part of it is because they are trying to compete with each other...
But she still lost out for a big event. Entering the palace to be a noble concubine, no matter how it was just a name, I'm afraid Tang Wanzhuang's heart was numb with laughter...
With these thoughts passing through her mind, Tang Wanzhuang had stepped onto the balcony, quickly inserted herself between Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe, and said hastily: "Don't think that just because she is a noble concubine, she can have any political cooperation. This woman cannot marry the emperor. There must be a conspiracy! Come back with me!”
At this moment, Huangfu Qing simply didn’t know what she was feeling.
But there was a slight smile on his face: "Ha... Who is he to you? What do you mean by going back with you?"
Tang Wanzhuang's expression became very calm when facing Huangfu Qing: "He is Buqi's friend and my guest."
"The inheritor of your clear blue waves and water-treading waves." Huangfuqing continued for her: "The head of the Tang Dynasty has a lot of plans. Is he going to be the emperor's teacher? Or the queen?"
Tang Wanzhuang's face was expressionless: "No matter what it is, it's better than some people still cuddling and hooking up here as women. Huangfu Qing, do you still want to show off?"
"What's there to pretend?" Huangfu said leisurely: "I don't believe you can't guess that I am a witch from the Four Elephants Sect. Have you ever told a little man like you?"
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned. She really hadn't told Zhao Changhe this.
Because she always felt that Zhao Changhe would become closer to her after hearing that it was the Four Symbols Sect, and she did not want Zhao Changhe to get closer to Huangfu.
It's not that she's jealous, it's because she always feels that Huangfu Qing is surrounded by an unclear mystery, and the things involved will be very heavy, at least not something that Zhao Changhe can bear now.
How dare you get close to her and even kiss her!
Seeing that she seemed to be in the wrong, Huangfu Qing smiled even more happily: "The Holy Cult wants to recruit Zhao Changhe, and the saint is not suitable, so I will do it. Anyway, I am married, and I am not pretending to be noble like some people. Yes. You can do it too!"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Tang Wanzhuang really couldn't compare to the witch's shamelessness, so she simply ignored Huangfu Qing and glared at Zhao Changhe: "Does her identity make you more excited? Are you going to die?"
Huangfuqing sneered: "Why, you still dare to openly ask a man to stay overnight? You have been saving face all your life, but you don't want it now?"
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "Responsibility lies, what's the point of personal reputation?"
Zhao Changhe, who didn't know what to say from beginning to end, finally sighed and interrupted Huangfu Qing's sarcasm: "Okay... I'll go with you."
Huangfuqing closed her mouth and watched Tang Wanzhuang relax. She could almost feel the brilliance blooming, and smiled with relief.
Huangfu Qing crossed her arms and stared sideways. At this moment, she didn't feel dissatisfied at being beaten by Tang Wanzhuang. Because they seemed to be talking about boring love just now, but in fact they had already finished talking about each other, and even exchanged opinions on the next plan. Zhao Changhe would probably leave at night, and she wouldn't follow her anymore, so that's okay Why are you doing this? Isn’t it really possible?
Essentially, this man doesn't have much thought about romance at all. He just drags the romance into something serious and ruins the good atmosphere.
A man who is extremely boring.
He must have something to say to Tang Wanzhuang at this moment, but I don’t know what he will say.
In this matter, it seems that Tang Wanzhuang is the most confused and pitiful one. She is the head of the Demon Division, and the information she possesses is not even as good as Zhao Changhe, who has just arrived in the capital less than a day ago.
She tried her best to maintain the empire, but the empire did not give enough feedback, as if the whole world was against her.
Huangfuqing could see that Zhao Changhe was sympathetic to Tang Wanzhuang.
Sympathy for a woman who is countless times stronger than him...
“Bah, such a strong woman, why are you pretending to be weak? Shameless!” Huangfu angrily kicked the bathtub in the room and suddenly laughed out loud.
Zhao Changhe wanted to take a bath wherever he went, but he couldn't do it anywhere.
Wouldn’t you wash it with Tang Wanzhuang?
It seems that a lot of things happened, including drinking and making trouble, becoming famous in Beijing, going to gambling houses and lakeside, and talking a lot, but in fact it lasted only two or three hours, and I haven't had time yet.
The streets on a rainy night were already deserted. Tang Wanzhuang, holding an oil-paper umbrella, quietly walked home with Zhao Changhe. There is a height difference between the two of them, and the way she raises her hands to hold the umbrella looks a little hard, but also a little cute. Zhao Changhe glanced at her and reached out to take the umbrella.
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse and allowed him to take it.
The feeling of "who is taking care of whom" was instantly reversed. Any onlooker must admit that the current situation is more like the picture it should be.
However, in fact, Tang Wanzhuang’s clothes were not wet, so she didn’t need an umbrella.
The two of them stepped on the bluestone of the capital with one foot high and one foot low. Every step in the night was so clear and gradually synthesized into a synchronized beat.
Like a heartbeat.
"Have you noticed..." Tang Wanzhuang suddenly spoke, breaking Zhao Changhe's silent counting of beats.
“Huh?” Zhao Changhe seemed to have just woken up from some deep meditation.
"Huangfu Qing took you back, right? You are still wet, but she is dry."
“You mean...the ninth level of Xuan Guan can’t do this?”
"The ninth level of the entrance can be done, but I instinctively felt that she was more than that. She was so amazing and talented back then, how could she be stuck here without making any progress?" Tang Wanzhuang said and sighed: "But as a noble concubine, she has long been I haven’t fought with anyone a few years ago. No one knows her true strength. Only she and I can test it out in a real way, but it’s not suitable... A noble concubine is always a noble concubine, and I am a minister. It was already very inappropriate for me to take action in anger just now. appropriate."
"Um…"
"Having said this, I would also like to remind you that even the Book of Troubled Times may not be trustworthy. After all, it talks based on achievements. There are many people who have no achievements. When you meet someone unknown on the list in the future, don't be as arrogant as today in the restaurant. , being unknown is not necessarily weak.”
"Hmm. But I think people without actual combat experience are limited in how strong they can be. They are the kind of people who are challenged by higher levels."
"Not necessarily..." Tang Wanzhuang whispered: "Speaking of Huangfu Qing... No matter what her strength is, she can never be wrong as a member of the Four Symbols Cult. Don't trust the Four Symbols Cult too much because of Xia Chi Chi. Xia Chi Chi is Xia Chichi, and the Four-Xiang Sect is the Four-Xiang Sect. Her personal friendship with you will not affect the sect's tendency. If Suzaku wants to kill you, he will never care about Xia Chichi's feelings. "
"Know."
“Do you have a purpose in being so arrogant in the restaurant?”
"Yes, the bigger I make a fuss, the more Xia Longyuan is likely to notice. When he notices, others will be less afraid to move. The storm that might have been caused by entering the capital has simply disappeared. It's all that simple."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. You want His Majesty to see you. Unfortunately, it's the Queen who comes."
"Um…"
"You dare to see him? Do you want to talk or call him by his first name?"
"It's nothing... because he won't care. But now I don't dare to see him. I learned something at Anle Gambling House and feel that my previous guess was a little wrong. It's better not to see him rashly."
Tang Wanzhuang didn’t ask him what he learned in the gambling house, but just said: “I feel like you know your majesty better than I do.”
“Because you are a subject and I am not.”
"You have your own opinion. It seems that I am impatient...does it ruin your plan if I forcefully pull you away?"
"No, the matter between me and her is actually over...I'm very happy, you will be anxious about it."
Tang Wanzhuang stopped talking.
Lanterns on the left and right buildings swayed in the rain, reflecting the long shadows of the men and women under umbrellas on the long street on rainy nights.
The two of them talked as they walked, their tone was very calm, and they talked casually, as if an old couple were taking a walk after dinner, so natural.
It is completely different from the template of Huangfu Qing just now, and it is even different from the original intersection in Suzhou.
Zhao Changhe knew why he and Huangfu Qing were embarrassed.
Because there is a lack of sincerity and publicity, it also lacks the accumulation of time.
"If you want to leave, don't go by yourself." Tang Wanzhuang finally said: "Go to my place to rest first. I'll find someone to spread suspicion. A dozen Zhao Changhe left from different directions."
“Afraid of the Queen?”
"No..." Tang Wanzhuang's voice was so soft that she couldn't even hear her: "I'm afraid of Your Majesty."
Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that Tang Wanzhuang did not know everything, at least he knew no less than the people in the gambling house.
She just doesn't want to know.
