Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 63: Encounter (1)

Shen Lan frowned slightly: "What happened in front?"

The guard who opened the way in front stopped at the corner, apparently encountering another group of people.

They walked straight ahead, and no one was willing to give in easily. At this time, it depended on whose official position is higher, or whose fist is harder.

Lu Mingyu glanced at it and said with a casual smile, "I'll go see who it is."

There are many other courtyards in the mountains, and all of them were officials and dignitaries.

Shen Shilang was not a high-ranking official.

Shen Lan didn't want to quarrel with people and was afraid that Lu Mingyu won't be able to control her temper and start to beat people, so she hurriedly smiled: "I'll go with you."

If it got really noisy, only she can stop Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu said with a smile as she walked: "Sister Shen, don't worry. I won't beat people easily. The me now is no longer the me I used to be."

Shen Lan burst into laughter and booed her: "Like I will believe you. Last time you met Second young master Jin here, you beat him to a pulp just because he admired your beauty and teased you a little."

Second Young master Jin was Jin Can'er's nephew, and he was only one year younger than Jin Can'er. It is not unusual for a young man to admire the beauty. He had no choice but to meet Fourth Miss Lu, and she hated to be teased by the frivolous young man. After a few punches, the second son of Jin was beaten and fled.

Jin Can'er was angry and annoyed and went to the Shen family's summer retreat, where Lu Mingyu threw her back rudely.

It was also because of this that Jin Can'er and Lu Mingyu formed an enmity, and every time they saw each other, they would blow their noses and stare at each other.

Bringing up this interesting incident, Lu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and laughed.

Then, this smile condensed on the corner of her mouth.

She stopped.

…

Shen Lan was startled, and then stopped: "What's wrong?"

Lu Mingyu looked at the handsome young man not far away, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and squeezed out a few words: "It's nothing."

Where is this nothing!

This was clearly enemies meeting on the road.

Shen Lan followed Lu Mingyu's gaze and looked over.

The figure of a young man came into view.

The young man was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe. He was slender, with black hair and a face like jade. His handsome face almost shone in the sunlight.

Shen Lan couldn't help but glanced at him again and praised him in a low voice: "What a handsome young man! I have also met many handsome young men, but none of them can match this young man. By the way, Xiaoyu, when did you meet such a handsome young man? Why did you never mention it to me?"

Lu Mingyu had no smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, and she didn't say a word.

The jade-like young man came quickly, his eyes were dark, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his voice was soft and sweet: "I didn't expect to meet Fourth Miss Lu here by chance."

Lu Mingyu squeezed her right hand, resisting the urge to punch the incoming person, and said with a blank expression: "Yeah, it's really a coincidence."

As if!

A dignified prince, he didn't stay in the palace but came to the royal courtyard. He also has a "random encounter" with her in the mountains. Really painstaking.

Shen Lan's eyes turned back and forth on the faces of Lu Mingyu and the handsome boy, her eyes were full of interest and gossip: "Xiaoyu, I don't know which mansion this son is from?"

Before Lu Mingyu could open her mouth, the young man in blue clothes smiled and looked at Shen Lan: "My surname is Li, and I am the second child in our family."

The second son of the Li family.

Shen Lan muttered in her heart.

Among the senior officials in the capital, there were several households with the surname Li. There is only one other courtyard here, and it is Li Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment. However, Li Shilang has only one son, not the second...

Where did this Second Young Master Li come from?

"Sister Shen," Lu Mingyu's voice was strangely tense and angry: "This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Shen Lan: "..."

It turned out that the handsome young man in front of her was actually Li Jing, the only direct descendant of the Emperor.

Shen Lan smiled and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The Second Prince didn't have the slightest bit of demeanour of a prince, and was very modest and polite: "Miss Shen, please get up quickly."

Strange, the Second Prince had never seen her, how could he know her surname was Shen.

Shen Lan felt a little strange in her heart, thanked him respectfully, and stood up.

Lu Mingyu by her side did not move, neither saluted nor spoke. Shen Lan felt something was wrong, and quietly pulled Lu Mingyu's sleeve.

Lu Mingyu's heart was full of anger, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Lan, and there was a hint of anger in her voice: "Sister Shen why are you pulling my sleeves?"

Shen Lan: "..."

Shen Lan smiled awkwardly and quickly glanced at the elegant and calm Second Prince.

This Second Prince was really good-natured. Lu Mingyu was so rude, but the Second Prince was not angry at all. Not only was he not angry, but he also looked at Lu Mingyu with a gaze that was soft and almost indulgent.

Lu Mingyu seemed to have sparks in her eyes, and it was particularly cute.

Your Highness Second Prince, you have to take good care of yourself. Second Master Jin, who made Lu Mingyu so angry last time, hid at home for nearly three months before he dared to come out to meet people!

Don't think that just because you are a prince you can run wild. When Lu Mingyu got angry, it doesn't matter who you are.

However, to Shen Lan's surprise, Lu Mingyu clenched her fist and released it again. With a stern face, she also bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The Second Prince stared at Lu Mingyu and smiled slightly: "Fourth Miss Lu, are you okay?"

Lu Mingyu had no expression on her face: "I'm fine, I don't need His Highness to worry about it."

The Second Prince took up the conversation with a good temper: "Speaking of which, we just met in the palace the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, we met here again after only two days. It can be seen that I have a lot of fate with Fourth Miss Lu."

Lu Mingyu's right fist clenched again.

Shen Lan was shocked to see it.

In front of her was the most honourable prince in the country. If Lu Mingyu beat up the Second Prince in a rage, it will not end well. Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, please don't be impulsive!

Probably God heard the prayers in Shen Lan's heart.

Lu Mingyu's right fist slowly loosened again, and her tense voice was a little stiff: "I heard that His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, is full of poetry and books, and he is a modest gentleman. Isn't it too abrupt to say something like fate to a girl who is still in her boudoir? Isn't it a bit reckless?"

The Second Prince had a smile in his eyes, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing across his face: "Fourth Miss Lu you are right that I did take the liberty. It's just that I can't help myself, and I ask Fourth Miss Lu to forgive me."

Lu Mingyu: "..."

Shen Lan: "..."

Shen Lan glanced at the flames spurting out of Lu Mingyu's eyes and her clenched right fist with blue veins again.

Without thinking, she stretched out her hand to hold Lu Mingyu's right fist, and said with a laugh, "I suddenly remembered that there is an important matter, and I have to go back immediately. Xiaoyu, let's return to our summer retreat! We shouldn't disturb Your Highness Second Prince strolling, so we will ask to be excused."
