#375 - Your Majesty wants to see him again
The same.
As Xu Ming sized up the girl,
the girl was also sizing up Xu Ming.
The girl also felt that the other party looked somewhat familiar.
A figure from her childhood popped into the girl's mind.
“Could it be him?”
The girl's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
But she didn't dare to be certain.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and everyone changes a lot.
“This brother, your eyeballs are about to fall out.”
Fang Yu looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile.
But Fang Yu and the others didn't think the other party was too rude at all.
Fang Yu and the others were already used to it; basically, any normal man, when he saw Zhu Ci Ci, would have such a reaction.
Back then, when he came to Bailu Academy and saw Zhu Ci Ci for the first time, he was also amazed by Zhu Ci Ci's appearance.
If the other party's gaze wasn't attracted by Ci Ci, then he would suspect that the other party had some problems with his sexual orientation.
“Sorry.” Xu Ming smiled and cupped his hands in a salute, “I just feel that this girl looks a bit like an old friend, but I just can't remember.”
“Hahaha, brother, your technique for building relationships is already outdated.” Chen Kun said with a smile, then cupped his hands in a salute to Xu Ming, introducing himself, “I am Chen Kun from Bailu Academy.”
Ling Bisheng cupped his hands in a salute: “I am Ling Bisheng from Bailu Academy.”
“I am Fang Yu from Bailu Academy.”
The girl standing in front of them folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly: “I am Zhu Ci Ci from Bailu Academy.”
Zhu Ci Ci.
Zhu Ci Ci.
Zhu Ci Ci?
Hearing this name, Xu Ming felt that it was very familiar, but soon, Xu Ming remembered everything.
Xu Ming didn't forget her, and Xu Ming couldn't possibly forget her.
After all, that pink and jade-carved little girl was indeed very cute when she was a child.
Not to mention that the matter of him sending a poem to Zhu Ci Ci became a turning point for the Wu Kingdom, and the subsequent impact on the Wu Kingdom was very great. Even if he forgot, the history books of their country would help him remember.
Moreover, the poem he wrote to Zhu Ci Ci at that time was widely circulated, and he often heard people mention it.
It's just that
when Zhu Ci Ci stood in front of him, Xu Ming felt a bit unreal.
Xu Ming even felt a bit of emotion in his heart.
Time really flies. The little chubby-faced baby girl back then has already grown into such a graceful young woman.
“This brother must have heard of the fame of our Bailu Academy's Zhu Ci Ci.” Looking at the other party's dazed appearance, Fang Yu said with a smile, “Brother, you're right, this is the Zhu Ci Ci on the Red Beauty List, but if you want to pursue Ci Ci, you have to line up.”
“Brother Fang, don't joke!” Zhu Ci Ci said with a smile, her beautiful eyes blinking as she looked at Xu Ming, “Please forgive me, brother. Brother Fang is just like this. He doesn't have a sense of propriety when he speaks. His teacher has told him many times.”
“Of course not.” Xu Ming smiled and shook his head, cupping his hands in a salute to everyone, “I am Xu Ming from the Wu Kingdom. I have met you all.”
“Brother Xu is polite.” Everyone cupped their hands again.
But soon, these people were all stunned in their hearts.
What did this man just say?
Who did he say he was?
Xu Ming?
Xu Ming!
All of a sudden, everyone seemed to react, and their gazes all turned towards Zhu Ci Ci.
Zhu Ci Ci's eyes flickered, and she stood there blankly, her mind blank.
Xu Ming's voice kept echoing in Zhu Ci Ci's ears, and Zhu Ci Ci seemed to be frozen in place.
Xu Ming looked at Zhu Ci Ci, his eyes gentle, and slowly opened his mouth and said: “Miss Zhu, it's been a long time.”
A courtyard on the outskirts of the Dragon Palace.
Liu Jijiu and Lu Xiaoliu were sitting together making tea.
Both of them looked very leisurely.
“That group of juniors asked you to have dinner, why didn't you go?” Liu Jijiu asked.
Lu Xiaoliu smiled: “They are young people eating together, what am I, an uncle, doing there? Besides, my reputation is so bad. They probably all want to stay away from me. The reason why they asked me to have dinner is just because they don't want to lose their manners.”
“You ah……” Liu Jijiu wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth and just sighed.
“You went to see that Young Master Xu from the Wu Kingdom last night?” Liu Jijiu took a sip of tea and asked the young man beside him.
Lu Xiaoliu nodded: “I saw him.”
Liu Jijiu: “How did you feel?”
Lu Xiaoliu thought for a while: “Xu Shizhi's tea-making skills are indeed good, much better than what Liu Jijiu makes.”
Liu Jijiu glared at Lu Xiaoliu: “Don't joke around with me. I'm asking you what kind of person he is.”
“Very good.” Lu Xiaoliu smiled, “I can only say that he is worthy of being a disciple of Mochi. Whether it is in terms of dealing with people or in terms of knowledge, he is indeed very good, and he has a kind of sophistication that is beyond his age.”
“Hmm.” Liu Jijiu nodded, “Then do you think he is qualified?”
“.”
As Liu Jijiu's words fell, Lu Xiaoliu fell into silence.
Liu Jijiu was not in a hurry, but waited quietly for his answer.
After a long time, Lu Xiaoliu said: “Whether he is qualified or not is not up to me to decide, and even if he is qualified, what then? You also have to ask if he is willing.”
“Yes… you are right.” Liu Jijiu sighed, “But, time is running out.”
“That is a matter for us people, don't impose these things on the younger generation!” Lu Xiaoliu looked at Liu Jijiu.
Liu Jijiu was extremely rare to see anger in Lu Xiaoliu's eyes.
“Da da da”
Just when the atmosphere between the two was a bit silent, the courtyard door was knocked.
“Huff, I'll go open the door.” Lu Xiaoliu took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the courtyard door.
Opening the courtyard door, a palace maid in palace uniform stood in front of Lu Xiaoliu.
Lu Xiaoliu recognized that this person was the personal maid of the Empress, Xiao Lan.
“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Lu.” Xiao Lan bowed respectfully.
Lu Xiaoliu cupped his hands in a salute: “I wonder what is the matter, Miss Xiao Lan?”
Xiao Lan stood up straight: “I went to Young Master Xu's courtyard just now, but I found that Young Master Xu was not there. Mr. Lu is closer to Young Master Xu, so I came to ask if Mr. Lu has seen that Young Master Xu from the Wu Kingdom?”
“I heard from our Bailu Academy's Yuwen Shizhi that they have a gathering. Yuwen Shizhi knows Xu Shizhi, so they should have gone to Fanhai Tower for a gathering.” Lu Xiaoliu said, “I wonder what Miss Xiao Lan wants from Xu Shizhi?”
“It's His Majesty.” Xiao Lan smiled, “His Majesty wants to see him again.”
