Early the next morning, Gu Sanyue woke up to the endless sound of the tide.
"Sand..." The tide surged ashore and submerged just three feet away from the Guanhai Pavilion. The sweet and refreshing sea breeze blew on the face, which made people sober than anything else.
It was also the first time for Gu Sanyue to see the sea. She couldn't help but walk to the beach while the early morning sun was not yet warm.
The waves hit the shore layer by layer, breaking into white bubbles and then being swallowed back by the sea. Gu Sanyue, who was reading a book, saw someone in the Guanhai Pavilion from a distance. When she got a little closer, she saw that the person inside was a graceful beauty with a beautiful figure and a noble temperament.
Gu Sanyue subconsciously thought of Yan Ruoli because the impression she had on Gu Sanyue yesterday was so profound.
Her every smile, every move, has a charming and charming beauty that is touching. This woman is very beautiful.
But when she got closer, she realized that it was Chu Xiuyang inside. Today she wore a bright red robe with a high ponytail. She looked fresh, neat and heroic, just like her style.
Gu Sanyue was curious, why was Chu Xiuyang already sitting in the pavilion when the sun hadn't even come out yet?
She walked forward. Chu Xiuyang was startled by the footsteps here. She quickly turned her head and saw that it was Gu Sanyue. She immediately smiled and said: "Yueyue, why are you here?" , Shengsheng is a playful child.
Gu Sanyue smiled and said: "I was woken up by the sound of the sea water early in the morning. I couldn't sleep. I went out for a walk while the weather was still cool, and I happened to meet you." Chu Xiuyang quickly invited her into the pavilion. People sat side by side, enjoying the morning sea breeze, which was very pleasant.
Three feet away was the sea water. Gu Sanyue looked at the sea water with interest. Seeing that she was happy, Chu Xiuyang tilted her head and said, "Look, this pavilion was specially built like this. When the tide is high, the sea water is just right away from the pavilion." Three feet, neither far nor close, is the most suitable. It's a pity that the palace is not close to the sea, otherwise I would have to build such a pavilion."
"The lives of these wealthy families are much better than those of the princess like me." Gu Sanyue smiled slightly bitterly and said, "The princess only sees how the wealthy families live, but not how the ordinary people live. It was the fifth watch at this time, and the sun had not yet come out, but in the homes of ordinary people in Xicheng, those who should go up the mountain to chop firewood had already gone up the mountain, those who should go to the sea to fish had set up fishing nets, and those who sold wonton sesame cakes Vendors have already begun to sell their goods in the streets and alleys. Her Majesty's life is already very good." Chu Xiuyang puffed out her cheeks and said sulkily: "Not good, not good at all. I can't live without you saying that. It seems very relaxing, but it is not fun at all. I stay in the palace all day long, and I am not allowed to go here or that. There is no freedom at all. When I grow up, my father will marry me As a human being, marrying a man I don’t like and becoming a victim of politics is my fate.”
"I'm not like you, Sister March. You can follow Xu Huaigu around the world and see many new things. Those things I will never see in my life." She rubbed her head, pouted, and said listlessly: "Besides, , my brother is also leaving me. He said yesterday that he would marry Yan Ruoli. She is beautiful and kind, but I always feel that something is not right with her. It gives me a strange feeling. I don’t like it anyway. she."
"When my brother marries her, he will definitely not like me. Men are like this. Since my father took in new concubines, he doesn't come to see me and my brother very much. They are all bad guys who like the new and hate the old. ." Gu Sanyue touched her head and saw that Chu Xiuyang's eyebrows were about to stand up. He thought it was funny and said, "My little princess, you should live a carefree life. Why don't you? Why are there so many troubles? In life, everyone has his own way of living. If you don’t try a way of living, no one can say that this way of living must be bad. "
"But I've already tried it. I've been a princess for more than ten years and I'm bored to death." Gu Sanyue squinted and asked, "Then what is your goal in life?" Chu Xiuyang looked up suddenly. He looked at her and said seriously: "I want to go to the south to fight. Under the smoke and beacon fire thousands of miles away, I can raise my sword and stand on my horse." Gu Sanyue burst out laughing and said: "Your Highness, you are a delicate Highness of a country, why? How can you do such a thing? It was all done by big and powerful men. The battlefield is ruthless, and every sword is life-threatening. Can His Highness endure this hardship?" Chu Xiuyang lowered his eyes in despair, Angrily, he threw her hand away and said, "Look, you don't believe me either. But I just want that kind of life. Even if I die like that, it would be better than living now."
"Sister Sanyue, what is your goal in life?" Gu Sanyue thought about it seriously and said, "In the past, I liked someone and thought I could give everything for him, and I did. Everything. But in the end, it was all in vain, and I found that I didn't like him that much."
"That is, in the Fuyao Sect, I originally wanted to seek death, but I met Xu Huaigu. He told me some things about the world and duckweed. I was quite touched at the time, so I listened to his words and wanted to be a mountain man. , so I left with him. Now that I think about it, I feel that those words did not have such a deep impact on me. But since I have made up my mind to go with him, I will not change it and will be a mountain man wholeheartedly. Even if It's hard work, but I have to keep doing it." Chu Xiuyang looked at Gu Sanyue's eyes, which became more and more radiant as he spoke, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. She secretly felt that this person named Xu Huaigu might actually have some ability.
At this moment, a maid in a long skirt hurriedly ran into the sea view pavilion. Seeing Chu Xiuyang and Gu Sanyue here, she said anxiously: "Your Highness, the tea party is about to start, Your Highness the Prince I can't find you everywhere. I'm so anxious. I've been looking for you for a long time. Let's go to the tea party with you." Chu Xiuyang said impatiently: "I know, I know. Let's go now. Why are you so surprised? Here." The maid quickly lowered her head, Chu Xiuyang stood up, and Gu Sanyue also stood up, and under the leadership of the maid, went to attend the tea party.
The maid took them left and right, and finally arrived at a quiet garden. Walking further into the garden, an exquisite small building appeared among the flowers and plants.
The small building is not big, but it is very quiet. It is hidden deep among the flowers and plants, and it is very elegant. The maid led the two of them in, and saw a large round table in the small building. There were already about ten people sitting on the table, leaving only two empty seats, waiting for Chu Xiuyang and Gu Sanyue.
Those present here are either young masters and young ladies from the Yan family, or great monks from the Eighth and Ninth Realms, as well as a Crown Prince.
Gu Sanyue had never seen such a big scene before, and he couldn't help but blushed nervously. He glanced at a seat next to Xu Huaigu, and hurriedly sat down next to him.
In this unfamiliar environment, Xu Huaigu was her only support. Chu Xiuyang sat down next to Chu Wenze, and now everyone at the table had arrived.
As soon as Chu Xiuyang took his seat, a man with a mustache greeted him with a smile and said, "Is this Her Highness the Princess? I have met you before. Her Highness the Princess was still young at that time and she must not have remembered me. I didn’t expect that after so many years apart, Her Royal Highness the Princess has grown up so much. We are getting older, hahaha.” Chu Xiuyang didn’t know him, and just when he didn’t know how to respond, Chu Wenze reminded him in a low voice: “This is The eldest young master of the Yan family, Yan Zhonglou, is already in his forties. Just call him uncle." Chu Xiuyang was well-trained and immediately put on a smiling face and sweetly shouted: "Hello, Uncle Yan." Yan Zhonglou He quickly shook his head and said in a joking tone: "How can the princess call me uncle? This is really embarrassing me, Yan. If you call me like that, do I still need my head?"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere of the tea party suddenly became lively. But Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue didn't think this joke was funny, but out of politeness, Gu Sanyue also laughed with them, while Xu Huaigu kept a straight face and refused to laugh.
Xu Huaigu was looking at the circle of people on the table. According to Chu Wenze, not only the two young masters of the Yan family and Yan Ruoli, Fan Chen from the Nine Realms, but Wu Qun, Zheng Fu and Lin Liangyue from the Eight Realms were also present.
Yan Ruoli stood up and personally brought down a pot of boiling water from a small stove next to the table. His beautiful eyes swept around the people present, blinked his beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Little lady When the Yan family has nothing to do, I like to study tea ceremony, and now I know a little bit about it. Today's tea party is not only attended by my two brothers, but also the prince and the princess, four great ministers of our Yan family. , Brother Xu and Miss Gu. The little girl would like to show off the friendship between host and guest, how about making a pot of tea for you?" Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Chu Wenze in unison, vaguely headed by him.
So Chu Wenze responded with a smile: "Miss Yan is willing to make tea for us. It is naturally our honor. Please invite Miss Yan to serve tea, but be careful not to burn your hands." Yan Ruoli stroked her temples and said lightly A smile was like a petal falling into the water, causing ripples in everyone's hearts.
While pouring water into everyone's tea cups, she said: "The most important thing for making tea is good water. For this tea party, I went to the Fuyao Sect two days ago and bought fresh water from the bamboo tubes of the Fuyao Sect. , paired with Xuefeng Silver Moon Tea, a specialty of Baizhizhou. This is probably the best tea you can drink in East Fuyaozhou. Please use it with caution." After Xu Huaigu heard what she said, he didn't like drinking tea very much. Everyone is interested.
Speaking of the water and tea leaves used for making tea, they are so precious. It is really a painstaking effort. Xu Huaigu took a small sip and his eyes widened in surprise.
Good tea, really excellent tea! The color of the tea is clear but not turbid, and the taste is light but not fragrant. Xu Huaigu just took a small sip and immediately felt that his whole body was lifted up. His perception of the aura of heaven and earth was even deeper, and he couldn't help but admire it.
Xu Huaigu was full of praise and said: "Good tea, good tea, this is the real fairy tea!" Everyone laughed. Yan Ruoli was especially happy. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in surprise and said: "Brother Xu actually She also loves my tea, which is really flattering to the little girl.”
