บท 14: Chapter 14 Flirting
Shen Yuan's whole body leaned on Lu Zhiyun's slender and strong legs. Her right hand was handcuffed by the man, and she had nowhere to put her other hand.
The cold pine scent from the man was sweeping across her head forcefully. As soon as Shen Yuan's soft palm touched the fabric of his formal dress, she wanted to use it as a fulcrum to stand up, but she suddenly panicked.
Lu Zhiyun still held Shen Yuan's wrist with great force.
She could also clearly feel the scar across his palm and wrist.
Although Shen Yuan had never seen the scar on Lu Zhiyun's body with her own eyes, based on her two experiences with him, she could also feel how hideous and terrifying this scar was.
Lu Zhiyun's aura became more and more dangerous.
Shen Yuan just felt that he was like a weak rabbit. Once he fell into the predator's sight, he would have nowhere to escape.
This feeling is desperate.
When she was so frightened that she was about to cry, Lu Zhiyun had already calmed down and finally let go of her wrist with a forbearing look.
There was still panic on Shen Yuan's face. When she almost stood still, a circle of red marks immediately appeared on her slender white wrist.
"Sir...I am not...I am not..."
Shen Yuan didn't know how to explain this to Lu Zhiyun, but he saw his cold face gradually return to calm.
Lu Zhiyun only slightly lowered his eyes and replied indifferently: "Miss Shen, you must be careful when you get along with other men in the future."
There was no hint of reprimand or lecturing in the man's voice.
However, Shen Yuan regretted what happened today and even felt embarrassed in front of Lu Zhiyun.
The beauty's delicate earlobes were tinged with pink, her skin was snow-white, smooth and slender, and her lightly tied black hair had become slightly messy after what had just happened.
Those soft eyes were also misty because of fear.
This kind of weakness and helplessness can make people feel pity for them, but it can also make people want to bully and attack them.
At this moment, Shen Yuan did not dare to look at Lu Zhiyun again. He just lowered his eyes shyly and said in a very small voice: "My lord, I will go back first..."
Lu Zhiyun didn't say anything until Shen Yuan left the study. Then he slightly closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips to hide the sinister look between his brows.
Until now, his mind is still full of such images.
Shen Yuan was like a beautiful swan with broken wings, and he was strangling her slender and fragile neck.
In that corner of the desk, he fiercely...
It was as if he could hear Shen Yuan's soft and gentle voice, calling him pitifully: "Sir... Sir..."
With a "creaky" sound, the mahogany door of the study was gently pushed open.
A cool breeze blew in immediately.
It was not until Jiang Feng entered the room that Lu Zhiyun moved his hand down from his forehead.
Jiang Feng saw that Lu Zhiyun's cold and thin lips were slightly pursed, and he was suppressing his emotions. Although his face seemed calm, there was something wrong with the aura around him.
When Shen Yuan left this place just now, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked delicate and exquisite.
The straight-cut Yanfu on Lu Zhiyun also looked a little messy.
Jiang Feng's eyes changed slightly.
He didn't dare to think about what had happened between their master and the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
Of course I don't have the courage to ask.
Therefore, Jiang Feng only said respectfully: "Sir, I will order someone to bring you a cup of hot tea right away."
After a while, the servant brought a dark green teacup with ice cracks and placed it on the pear wood high table next to Lu Zhiyun.
Just as Lu Zhiyun was about to reach out to pick up the cup of tea, he saw a butterfly flying in from the gap in the window.
When he glanced up, the butterfly actually flew in front of him and circled around the jade ring on his hand.
Jiang Feng saw that Lu Zhiyun had no intention of chasing the butterfly away, and at the same time he also noticed that there was a jade ring on the thumb of their master's left hand.
But he clearly remembered that Lu Zhiyun never liked to wear any jewelry and would never wear a jade pendant around his waist.
The thin and fragile butterfly did not touch even an inch of skin on Lu Zhiyun's hand. After circling a few times, it fluttered away from the window and disappeared.
Jiang Feng only heard a "ding-clang" sound.
Then he saw that Lu Zhiyun's handsome brows were already frowned, and he put the teacup back to its original place.
But he didn't show any intention of taking off the jade ring.
——
The moonlight is bright.
Behind the courtyard where Shen Yuan lived, there was an exquisite small pavilion, inside which was a round stone table made of Jianzhou stone.
The maids placed all kinds of fresh fruits and snacks on it. Shen Yuan also held a silk round fan and sat in this small pavilion to enjoy the moon and escape the heat.
That night, Shen Yuan also tried hard to keep himself calm.
She also carefully sorted out her feelings towards Lu Zhiyun in her heart.
Since Shen Yuan gave Lu Zhiyun the jade ring last time, although she had met Liao Ge'er several times, she had never seen Lu Zhiyun again.
In fact, Shen Yuan is a very insecure person deep down.
If she hadn't had that dream and known how good Lu Zhiyun was to her in her previous life, Shen Yuan would not have dared to get close to him even if she had ten times the courage, let alone tease him.
In her previous life, whenever she saw the fifth uncle of the Lu family, she was as frightened as Biwu and didn't even dare to breathe.
Shen Yuan actually knew that it could not be a coincidence that she had so many opportunities to meet Lu Zhiyun alone.
Lu Zhiyun must have secretly arranged something behind the scenes.
But she couldn't understand the man's deep thoughts.
She also felt that Lu Zhiyun in this life seemed to be more fresh to her, so she became curious about him.
He was busy with official duties, and occasionally seeing her, the legitimate daughter of a marquis from Yangzhou, could help him relieve his boredom.
He has already passed the age of thirty, but has never married or had children . I'm afraid he is really as others say, a man who has no interest in women.
Shen Yuan's mood became more and more confused.
She felt that her actions that day might have angered him.
But even though Shen Yuan felt extremely frustrated, she still wanted to test Lu Zhiyun's attitude towards her one last time at Prince Ying's birthday party.
——
Two days later, it will be the Prince of England's 50th birthday.
As the only royal member among the few brothers of the previous emperor who was granted the title of prince, Prince Ying can be said to be of noble status and quite powerful.
Guiyuan is the private property of Prince Ying. During the autumn, the large number of osmanthus trees planted in the garden would bloom exceptionally luxuriantly, filling the air with fragrance. Therefore, the garden was named after it.
The scenery in Guiyuan is elegant and unique, and the stone peaks inside are exquisite. It has more royal style than Lu Zhiyun's private property Shaoyuan, but lacks the clear and spacious charm.
Even though the Prince of England is now domineering, he was a kind and gentle person when he was young.
Moreover, Shen Yuan remembered that Prince Ying in his previous life did not seem to be so arrogant at this point in time.
She was a little confused about the reason.
I just felt that maybe it was because I was reborn that I changed the original trajectory of my previous life, and many things also changed.
The young emperor was still young, and one of the three regents appointed by the late emperor had already passed away.
The other two people, besides Lu Zhiyun, were the captain of the central army, Qiao Pu.
Qiao Pu is the nephew of Lu Zhiyun's biological mother, Qiao. He is the captain of the central army, which means he is in charge of the most elite troops in Daqi.
The current commander of the Beijing Guards in Daqi is Lu Zhiyang.
Qiao Pu and Lu Zhiyang are both Lu Zhiyun's confidants, and the two of them also respect Lu Zhiyun behind the scenes. The deployment of troops is also decided by Lu Zhiyun.
In this way, Lu Zhiyun could be said to have firmly grasped the military power in his hands, so that although he was ostensibly a powerful relative assisting the emperor, he was actually the real ruler of the Qi Dynasty.
The Prince of England was naturally quite dissatisfied with this.
The relationship between the two people in the court has been unharmonious for a long time.
Although Shen Hongliang did not want to be on the same side as Prince Ying, since he had sent the invitation to the Shen family, he did not dare to offend Prince Ying, so he asked Shen Yuan and Shen Han to attend the banquet.
And the most rare thing is that Lu Zhiyun and Gao Hezhou also did enough superficial work, concealing the conflicts with Prince Ying in the court, and also came to Guiyuan today.
Several tables have been set up in the spacious women's hall.
Shen Yuan naturally sat at the same table with Shen Han, and Shen Han also met many ladies from aristocratic families who he was on good terms with at the banquet, and had a very pleasant chat with them during the meal.
Shen Yuan, however, looked like he was troubled and spoke very little.
Besides, she originally came from Yangzhou, and she didn't know any ladies from noble families in the capital, so she had no friends to talk to.
But even though Shen Yuan remained silent, the women at the table would still keep looking at her secretly.
Zhao, the second daughter of the Rongchang Marquis family, could not help but lower her voice and said to Shen Han: "Sister Han, your elder sister is so beautiful. No wonder she is said to be the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou Prefecture. But if she is so beautiful, why did the Kangping Earl break off the engagement?"
Shen Han concealed the displeasure in her eyes. She didn't want others to praise how beautiful Shen Yuan was in front of her. She only replied in a faint tone: "How would I know that..."
Shen Yuan was absent-minded and did not hear clearly what his younger sister and Zhao were whispering about.
She picked up a piece of pine nut cake with her slender hands listlessly. Just as she was about to put it into her mouth, she saw the girl from Rongchang Marquis's family staring at her.
Miss Zhao noticed that Shen Yuan had come back to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Shen Yuan smiled at her tenderly and pushed the rose cake in his hand in front of the little girl.
Shen Yuan could also understand why she looked at her in a daze.
Girls of her age tend to develop an inexplicable liking for an older sister who is a few years older and more gentle.
When Miss Zhao saw that Shen Yuan was a friendly sister, she smiled at her.
Shen Han saw everything, but inexplicably a slight irritation arose in his heart.
She didn't want Shen Yuan to become friends with her friends so quickly.
So he suggested to the ladies at the table: "Since there is still some time before the banquet officially starts, why don't we go for a walk in the garden?"
The women's hall is some distance away from the area where the men's guests are, so you don't have to worry about bumping into anyone when you go out for a walk.
So after Shen Han finished speaking, several young ladies decided to go out and relax together.
Shen Han originally thought that Shen Yuan was older and would not like to join in the fun like these young girls.
But unexpectedly, she did not stay in the hall, but walked over the threshold with them.
Shen Han was just wondering when he realized that the ladies who were chatting and laughing with each other just now suddenly held their breath, and their smiles gradually froze on their lips.
It turned out that not far away, Prime Minister Lu Zhiyun and Minister of Personnel Gao Hezhou were walking towards this place side by side.
A faint light suddenly appeared in Shen Han's almond-shaped eyes.
These two important officials were both over thirty years old, yet their appearance and demeanor were both extremely handsome and mature.
They all have slim waists and long legs, and are tall and straight.
And power is the most nourishing thing. Although the expressions of both of them are very calm and indifferent, their every move still gives people a sense of alienated arrogance.
Lu Zhiyun was dressed in luxurious plain clothes and a leather belt around his waist. His temperament was colder, more stern and deeper than Gao Hezhou's.
Gao Hezhou was born into a marquis's family. When he was young, he was the dream lover of all the girls in the capital. He was involved in countless romantic affairs. He often went in and out of places with beautiful scenery. The famous top prostitutes and chief executives in the capital were all confidantes of this Shangshu.
In stark contrast to Gao Hezhou, Lu Zhiyun is a man who is not interested in women at all.
The two men and their attendants were about to arrive outside the women's hall. Although several ladies saw the foreign men, they were still some distance away from them, so they just had to take shelter under the eaves of the hall.
Shen Yuan was wearing a smoky blue thin robe and stood there gracefully. Her soft eyes never left Lu Zhiyun after she discovered him.
She originally thought that Lu Zhiyun would definitely walk right past them.
But he didn't expect that he stopped not far from the women's hall.
He also turned his head slightly and looked at her with his deep phoenix eyes.
Shen Yuan was suddenly caught by his gaze, and his heartbeat paused slightly.
Then she drooped her eyelashes slightly and lowered her gaze, deliberately revealing a somewhat embarrassed expression.
She knows her strengths.
When she acted like this, she looked the most delicate and helpless, and even women would feel pity for her when seeing her.
At this time, Lu Zhiyun slowly turned his head away and no longer looked at Shen Yuan.
He just gently fiddled with the black jade ring on his thumb.
But no one can see it.
After seeing Shen Yuan looking at him with that kind of eyes again, the corners of Lu Zhiyun's cold and thin lips slightly raised.
A faint smile also appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.
Lu Zhiyun only stayed for a short while and then left with Gao Hezhou.
The women were about to leave the hall again, but they stopped again.
This time, the person walking towards this place was actually Prince Ying.
But Prince Ying was old after all, his figure was out of shape, and his appearance was very different from Lu Zhiyun and Gao Hezhou.
The two people who just walked past were very handsome.
The person who came this time was not very attractive in all aspects.
Therefore, the ladies withdrew their gazes, half-bent their knees, and lowered their heads slightly, performing the appropriate etiquette towards the prince.
When Prince Ying was not far from the ladies' hall, he also stopped.
He adjusted the jade belt around his waist and glanced coldly at the women standing under the eaves.
The Prince of England did not ask everyone to stand up immediately.
Others may not be able to tell, but who is he?
He was best at seeing the affairs in the eyes and expressions of these men and women.
This bastard Lu Zhiyun has finally grown old and blossomed. He is already in his thirties and he finally knows how to flirt with young girls!
No wonder he has been acting like that bastard Gao Hezhou these days, and has also gotten a jade ring to wear on his hand.
Thinking back then, how many beauties had he sent to Lu Zhiyun's house in order to please him? I couldn't even count them.
He returned them all without knowing what was good for him.
Later, Prince Ying even thought that since Lu Zhiyun did not accept beautiful women, he must like men, so he selected two tender and fair young men and sent them to his house.
It was also from that moment that Lu Zhiyun officially broke off relations with him in secret after he sent the two teenagers back to his hands.
Thinking of this, Prince Ying narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wanted to see what the woman Lu Zhiyun liked looked like.
Therefore, Prince Ying first looked at Shen Han with his cloudy eyes. He felt that Lu Zhiyun was looking in the direction of Shen Han and the woman next to her.
After seeing Shen Han's appearance clearly, Prince Ying felt quite disdainful.
That's it?
Is this the woman Lu Zhiyun likes?
Prince Ying was a little bit skeptical, and his gaze fell on the beautiful woman standing next to Shen Han - Shen Yuan.
