023 Miss Shui Xian
How does Dai Wu Qing dare to compete with sixth lord? Therefore, in the end, he only bid for Miss Zi Yao to accompany him.
It turns out the so-called huakui contest was only to see who’s worth was the highest tonight. Because of sixth lord’s appearance, Miss Shui Xian’s value was 110,000. The rest of the people didn’t dare to compete for a girl at a higher price than 110,000.
In other words, tonight’s huakui was Miss Shui Xian.
Linghu Shui Yue obviously didn’t want to be together with Qi wang. However, who knows what medicine Qi wang ate wrong, for he forcefully dragged her up to the second floor to listen to Miss Shui Xian’s songs and to drink.
When Linghu Shui Yue was going to find an excuse to get rid of Qi wang, Qi wang’s mono eyelids narrowed half-way, his handsome face was a little displeased and dangerous: “Invitation isn’t as good as meeting by chance. Will Linghu young master not honor me with your presence?”
“Don’t dare! It’s just Miss Shui Xian is bid for by sixth lord with a lot of money. How can this young master have the nerve…” Linghu Shui Yue saluted as she declined.
Not waiting for Linghu Shui Yue to finish her words, Qi wang reached out to put a hand on her shoulder, making a straight face: “Since you don’t dare, then don’t decline anymore. If Linghu young master declines again, benwang will think Linghu young master intentionally contentious.”
How is there such logic? Drink wine, listen to song fine, yet some people still want to put on the airs of a wangye? Why must he have to be with her? Linghu Shui Yue cleverly avoided sixth lord’s arm, but didn’t dare decline again.
Shui Xian Pavilion was the most beautiful small pavilion in Yu Qiong Lou. It was located in the northwest corner of the second floor of Yu Qiong Lou. It was the hall where Miss Shui Xian greets her honored guests.
Entering the eyes, the bead curtains was like jade, the fragrance of ink, even the windscreen was a beautiful narcissus painting. The entire room didn’t have a hint of tawdriness. Instead, the feeling it gave people was that of the most elegant boudoir of a well-known family.
“Sixth lord welcome! Linghu young master welcome!” Miss Shui Xian bent her knees, curtsying. Of the beautiful face and charming words, the wave in the ancient era worldly woman’s eyes gently swayed. It was really stealing one’s heart and soul, seductive into the bone marrow.
When her eyes fell on Linghu Shui Yue’s face, it made Linghu Shui Yue felt in comparison to the ancient era’s woman, she was much more like a man.
Looking at Miss Shui Xian, she couldn’t help but think of “Peacock Flying Southeast”: “Feet treads on silk shoes, on the head is a turtle (accessory) glinting. White silk girdled the waist moving like flowing water, in the earlobes are bright moon earrings. Fingers like slender scallions, mouth seemed to be cinnabar red. Taking delicate steps, exquisite and unparalleled.”
Thinking of this, Linghu Shui Yue couldn’t help uttering these words.
Sixth lord and Miss Shui Xian heard this and didn’t seem to be surprised by Linghu Huo Ri’s impromptu verse.
Miss Shui Xian’s lotus fingers covered her mouth delicately: “Hearing Linghu young master’s literary talent is unmatched, indeed, it is well-deserved! Young master praised this slave, this slave does not deserve!”
As she spoke, she gestured for them to sit, having two maidservants serve up fruits and wine glasses. She walked over to the parlor of the room and sat down before a guqin(zither), then cast a glance at the two people: “What song would the two masters want to hear?”
Sixth lord was gracious to Linghu Shui Yue: “Benwang is only accompanying today so Linghu young master please pick a song.”
Linghu Shui Yue thought what famous songs did this time and space have? How would she know? If she randomly named some music score, the others haven’t ever heard of it, then it wouldn’t be appropriate.
On second thoughts, she already answered sixth lord: “This young master is the one accompanying. What sixth lord likes, I think everyone in the world has heard of it.”
Sixth lord didn’t push it anymore, casually saying a song: “Then let’s do “Mandarin Ducks Searching for Dreams”!”
Just the topic, Linghu Shui Yue has never heard of it.
