A flash of surprise flashed across Xiao Jue's eyes, and then he regained his expression and said respectfully: "Yes, Miss."

"Wait a minute, don't let anyone notice it."

"Yes, please don't worry, Miss."

After saying that, he exited the study and closed the door again.

An Ning carefully tore up the paper in her hand, threw it into the charcoal basin at her feet, and watched it turn into ashes bit by bit.

It was ten o'clock in the evening on the third day.

Xiao Jue quietly placed the things he found on the desk where An Ning was.

When Xiao Jue withdrew, An Ning slowly put down the pen in her hand, looked at the still-dry painting in front of her, and said, "The immortal drinks alone under the moon."

The back figure in this painting looked like an immortal but not an immortal, and it actually reminded her of Mr. Gu a few days ago.

An Ning chuckled and shook her head, secretly wondering what she was thinking.

Then she picked up the envelope presented by Xiao Jue on the table. After a while, her eyes showed a biting coldness.

Sure enough, the magistrate of Qu County didn't even have a daughter. In his previous life, a legitimate daughter suddenly appeared from nowhere. Looking at the magistrate of Yuefeng County, he did have a legitimate daughter named Qingcheng, but her surname was not Ye.

An Ning placed the pile of papers he had just read on the table and looked at the last piece of paper in his hand, which had an address written on it.

Thirty miles away from the outskirts of Kyoto, Peach Blossom Village.

It seems that she is going to meet this Miss Ye.

Early the next morning, An Ning set out.

Thirty miles is neither close nor far, and we arrived in about an hour.

After An Ning's carriage, what he saw was the entrance to the village. There was a plaque hanging sparsely on the entrance, with the words "Peach Blossom Village" written on it. It seemed that the plaque had been hung up not long ago, but it was just changed by these few people.

The strong wind blew the sun down. Looking at the three words Peach Blossom Village on the plaque, it was written in small regular script. The writing was gentle and easy. It can be seen that the author's character must be neither arrogant nor impetuous and talented.

As soon as I walked into the village, I saw a scene like this. Autumn has come, thousands of flowers have fallen, and depression has lasted forever.

Such a large peach tree has bare branches and rotten flowers on the ground. The bright red peach blossoms have already faded in spring. Now in autumn, it feels a bit sad for no reason.

Walking along the only road at the door, it was very cold and there were almost no people. There were only some elderly women and grandfathers. Probably the young people have moved to Kyoto to develop, leaving these old people to retire here leisurely.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" an old woman with a cane asked while boiling water.

An Ning smiled and replied politely: "I wonder if the old man knows that there is a girl about my age in this village. Where does she live?"

The old man replied tremblingly: "Oh, you said Miss Qingcheng, just follow this road to the end and you will arrive."

An Ning politely thanked her and walked towards the innermost part of the village.

Finally, when I reached the end, I saw a woman in green clothes sitting on a tree stump in front of the house, holding a cattail fan in her hand and fanning the teapot in front of her.

The aroma of tea that hits An Ning's nose instantly invades An Ning's nose. It is deep and far-reaching, with a bitter and mellow aroma.

Good tea.

At this moment, Qingcheng slowly turned her head and looked at An Ning.

Eyes facing each other.

An Ning felt at this moment that this was a face that was so familiar, yet so strange.

Countless times in her previous life, she was jealous of the woman in front of her, because the woman in front of her was heartbroken towards Cang Lan. Cang Lan liked Ye Qingcheng and would say many harsh and heartbreaking words every time she came to her room.

"Why aren't you half as sensible as Qingcheng?"

"Why are you not as good as Qingcheng in anything?"

"You'd better not give Qingcheng even the slightest bit of grievance in the palace."

···

All kinds of words rang in her mind.

In her impression, Ye Qingcheng would pretend to be weak and innocent every time he was around. There was always some unknown victory in his eyes. Wherever she was, she could instantly attract all of Canglan's attention.

When she was favored in the palace, she and Cang Lan were the ones who

An important character in the plot of "Heart Abuse the Body" aggravated the conflict, until Cang Lan suddenly realized that he wanted to be with her forever, so he sent all the concubines in the harem out of the palace, including Ye Qingcheng, and she didn't know Ye Qingcheng's identity.

What the rest of life is like.

In the previous life, An Ning hated Ye Qingcheng and felt that Canglan would fall in love with him without her. At that time, Ye Qingcheng used many methods to win favor. It seemed that his love for Canglan was not inferior to hers, but I don't know if there was any role in the plot.

.After all, how could a girl with such a temperament end up being reduced to a member of the royal family using all their means to fight in the house?

An Ning stepped on the dead leaves under her feet, walked forward slowly, stopped in front of Ye Qingcheng, gave a salute, and said gently: "Can I ask the girl for a cup of tea?"

This time she didn't come with any ill intentions.

A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Qingcheng's eyes. Looking from Ye Qingcheng's perspective, the person who came was wearing lavender clothes with soft smoke-like fabrics. At first glance, he was either rich or noble. His hair was like a waterfall, as bright as silk, and he was just simple.

Used a piece of white jade

Lan Hairpinzi's temperament is not like that of an ordinary noble girl. She has some indifference and grandeur, like the temperament of a superior, but also mixed with the fragrance of books. It is natural and unique. That face is astonishing at first glance, and everyone sees it.

If you pass by, you will have an impression.

Ye Qingcheng came back to his senses and said warmly: "Girl, please sit down." Opposite her, there was a tree stump covered with some dead leaves. An Ning didn't care, brushed it with his sleeve, and slowly sat down. Ye Qingcheng was seen.

He picked up the hot teapot, poured the green tea into the exquisite teacup, and handed it to her, "It's not a good tea, girl, don't dislike it."

An Ning brushed off his sleeves and took it with his hand, "How could it be so?"

It has a mellow aroma in the mouth and leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth.

Tea is not considered good tea, but tea technique is definitely considered good tea technique.

After sipping the tea peacefully, I put down the teacup and listened carefully to the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves. At this moment, it seemed like I had been peaceful for a long time.

The two of them were speechless, waiting for someone to speak.

At this time, a fallen leaf that came from nowhere floated in front of Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng picked up the leaf, put it into his sleeves, chuckled, and said softly: "The fallen leaves still have some color. If they are made into bookmarks, they can be kept longer.

Some, but it's a pity that nothing in this world lasts forever." There was some inexplicable sadness in her eyes.

An Ning's voice was slightly darker, and her eyes were a little brighter, "It turns out that the girl is a lotus."

The lotus is independent in the world and has a light fragrance.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Girl, you are so complimentary."

An Ning also lowered her head and smiled. This smile was a sign of relief for that period of time. Then she raised her head and said word by word: "I am General Mansion An Ning."
