Chapter 249 Walking in the Rain
Tang Wanzhuang stepped on the water and floated straight into the balcony.
In the heavy rain, she was surrounded by mist, and not even a single splash of water was stained. The mist splashed around her, like a fairy riding a mist, with ribbons fluttering, so beautiful.
Zhuque was so jealous that he had to admit that this stinky woman was really beautiful.
Thinking of the young men of the same age, who were all swarming around, saying that Huangfu Qing was the most beautiful in the capital, but there are obviously more flies around you, okay?
Do men just fall for fairies?
It’s a pity that almost all the men of the same generation are trash. Why didn’t one of them take her to the bridal chamber to make people laugh?
Take the current Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking as an example. The men who are ranked around them are all middle-aged and are not of the same generation at all. There is no one of the same generation who is stronger than them... The two of them are secretly competing with each other. Who would like to get along with a weaker person first, or find an older generation and be laughed at by the other person for the rest of their lives?
After so many years of struggle, both of them are still single. I don’t know how much of it is because I am too proud, and how much of it is because I am fighting with each other...
But I still lost for the sake of the big thing. Entering the palace to be a concubine is just a title. I am afraid that Tang Wanzhuang is laughing so hard...
Thinking of this, Tang Wanzhuang has already stepped onto the balcony and quickly inserted herself between Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe, saying hurriedly: "Don’t think that she can have any political cooperation because she is a concubine. This woman will never marry the emperor. There must be a conspiracy! Come back with me!"
At this moment, Huangfu Qing didn’t know what he was feeling.
But she smiled slightly: "Heh... who is he to you? What do you mean I'll go back with you?"
Tang Wanzhuang's expression became very calm when facing Huangfu Qing: "He is Buqi's friend, my guest."
"You are the inheritor of Bi Bo Qing Yi and Ta Shui Ling Bo." Huangfu Qing continued for her: "Tang Shouzuo is planning something. Do you want to be the emperor's teacher? Or the queen?"
Tang Wanzhuang had no expression: "No matter what it is, it is better than some people who are married and still hugging and flirting here. Huangfu Qing, do you still have some shame?"
"What's there to pretend." Huangfu Qing said leisurely: "I don't believe you can't guess that I am the demon girl of the Four Elephants Sect. Have I told you, my little man?"
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned. She really didn't tell Zhao Changhe this.
Because she always felt that Zhao Changhe would be closer to her when he heard that it was the Four Elephants Sect. She didn't want Zhao Changhe to get close to Huangfu Qing.
It's not jealousy, because she always felt that Huangfu Qing was surrounded by an unclear mystery, and the things involved would be very heavy, at least not what Zhao Changhe could bear now.
How dare you get close to her and kiss her!
Seeing that she seemed to be in the wrong, Huangfu Qing laughed even more happily: "The Holy Church wants to recruit Zhao Changhe, and the Holy Maiden is not suitable, so I will do it. Anyway, I am married, and I am not like some people who are hypocritical. If you have the ability, you can do it too!"
Zhao Changhe: "..."
Tang Wanzhuang really couldn't compare with the demon girl in shamelessness, so she simply ignored Huangfu Qing and stared at Zhao Changhe and said: "Does her identity make you more excited? Do you want to die?"
Huangfu Qing sneered: "Why, you dare to openly invite a man to stay overnight? You have been asking for face all your life, but now you don't want it?"
Tang Wanzhuang said lightly: "It's my duty, and personal reputation is not worth mentioning?"
Zhao Changhe, who didn't know what to say from beginning to end, finally sighed and interrupted Huangfu Qing's mockery: "Okay... I'll go with you."
Huangfu Qing closed his mouth and watched Tang Wanzhuang relax. He could almost feel the brilliance of her, and smiled with relief.
Huangfu Qing crossed her arms and glanced at him. At this moment, she didn't feel unhappy about being defeated by Tang Wanzhuang. Because they seemed to be talking about boring love just now, but in fact, they had already said everything they wanted to communicate, and even exchanged opinions on the next plan. Zhao Changhe might leave at night, and she would not follow him. Why did she still stick around? Was she really trying to stick with him?
In essence, this man didn't have much intention to talk about love at all. He dragged the mood into the business and ruined the good atmosphere.
A very boring man.
He must have something to say to Tang Wanzhuang at this moment, but I don't know what he will say.
Speaking of this, it seems that Tang Wanzhuang is the most confused and pitiful one in this matter. She is the head of the Demon Suppression Department, but she has less information than Zhao Changhe, who has just arrived in the capital for less than a day.
She tried her best to maintain this empire, but the empire did not give enough feedback, as if the whole world was against her.
Huangfu Qing could see that Zhao Changhe sympathized with Tang Wanzhuang.
Sympathize with a woman who is so many times stronger than him...
"Bah, such a strong woman, why pretend to be weak, shameless!" Huangfu Qing kicked the bathtub in the room angrily and suddenly laughed out loud.
Zhao Changhe wanted to take a bath wherever he went, but he couldn't take a bath anywhere.
He wouldn't take a bath with Tang Wanzhuang?
…………
It seems that a lot of things have happened, drinking and making trouble, becoming famous in Beijing, going to the gambling house and coming to the lakeside, talking a lot, but in fact it has only been two or three hours, and it is not yet midnight.
The streets on the rainy night were already empty, Tang Wanzhuang held an oil-paper umbrella and quietly walked home with Zhao Changhe.
There was a height difference between the two, and she looked a little hard and cute when she raised her hand to hold the umbrella. Zhao Changhe glanced at her and reached out to take the umbrella.
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't refuse, and let him take it.
The feeling of "who is taking care of whom" was instantly reversed. If there were bystanders, they would have to admit that the current appearance was more like a copy of the painting.
However, in fact, Tang Wanzhuang's clothes were not wet and she did not 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.
"Did Huangfu Qing take you back? 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, and no one knows her true strength. I can’t find out unless she and I really do it, but it’s not suitable... A noble concubine is always a noble concubine, and I am a minister. I made an angry move just now, and it was already very... inappropriate."
"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 who is not on the list in the future, don't be as arrogant as you were in the restaurant today. , being unknown is not necessarily weak.”
"Yeah. But I think people who have no 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 Chichi. Xia Chichi is Xia Chichi, and the Four Symbols Sect is the Four Symbols 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 any intention of 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 dare not move. The storm that might have been caused by entering the capital has simply disappeared. It's just that simple."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. You want His Majesty to see you. Unfortunately, it's Queen Wang who comes."
"Um……"
"You dare to see him? Are you talking about your attitude now? Or do you 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 I feel that my previous guesses were 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 in a hurry...Did I ruin your plan by forcing you to leave?"
"No, the matter between me and her is actually over...I'm very happy that you will be anxious about it."
Tang Wanzhuang stopped talking.
The 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 intersection in Gusu.
Zhao Changhe knew why he and Huangfu Qing were embarrassed.
Because of the lack of sincerity and publicity, it also lacks the accumulation of time.
"If you want to leave, don't leave 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 didn't know everything, at least he knew no less than the people in the gambling house.
She just didn't want to know.
