Chapter 234 It’s not that I don’t want you anymore

   Along the way, Junli held the painting tightly in his hand, and there was a trace of sweat in his palm.

   Su Yunqing on the side had already sensed something was wrong with her, but had never had the chance to ask. Seeing that there was no one around, she hesitated for a moment, and asked, "The people in this painting are very important to you?"

  Hearing this, Junli paused, seeing his clear but worried eyes, she suddenly smiled, her smile was shallow, "Yes, it's very important."

  His eyes darkened, although he knew that the painting was a woman, but there was still a trace of indescribable sourness in his heart.

"Who is she?" Asking like this, I suddenly remembered what shopkeeper Guo said just now, this painting has been handed down for seven or eight hundred years, that is to say, the person on this painting has been dead for seven or eight hundred years, so how could she Will you know the person in this painting?

  Jun Li pondered for a while, and said ambiguously, "One, the person who gave me life."

   The one who gave her life?

  Su Yunqing pondered, but couldn't figure it out. How could a person who was hundreds of years apart give her life?

  Jun Li didn't give him time to continue thinking, he took his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

  Hearing this, Su Yunqing nodded, seeing that she had been holding the painting tightly, and didn't say anything.

  It was not far from the building outside the building. Although the two of them walked slowly, they arrived in front of the building outside the building very quickly.

  The servants in the building outside the building knew that Junli was familiar with the shopkeeper, and as soon as they saw her, they immediately came out to welcome her.

"Miss Mu, you haven't been here for several days, please come in quickly, your private room is cleaned every day, and no other guests have been allowed in, do you think you are going to the private room or in this lobby?" The servant said politely, obviously he didn't know that Junli was the master behind the building outside the building.

  Jun Li turned to look at Su Yunqing, and said softly, "Where do you want to eat?"

  Hearing this, Su Yunqing looked around. Although there were not many guests outside the building in the morning, there were more than a dozen of them. Without exception, they were all women. Seeing this, he whispered, "Yajian."

Junli nodded, and said to the boy, "Prepare some light side dishes and send them to the private room. You don't need to lead the way, we will go there by ourselves." After speaking, he threw a piece of silver to the boy. invisible.

   "Okay, Miss Mu, please wait a moment, the food will be served soon." After the boy finished speaking, he walked towards the backyard kitchen.

  Junli dragged Su Yunqing to the third floor, sat down in the private room where Junli often stayed, and drank osmanthus tea, leaving the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

  Su Yunqing looked puzzled, "Can osmanthus make tea?"

Junli nodded, pushed a poured cup of osmanthus tea in front of him and said, "Of course, it's just dried osmanthus. In fact, not only osmanthus, chrysanthemum, bamboo leaves, honeysuckle, jasmine and other flowers can be made into tea. Drinking chrysanthemum tea can clear away heat and detoxify, bamboo leaf tea has a similar effect, drinking jasmine..."

  Talked some knowledge about scented tea with Su Yunqing, and seeing his eyes light up, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling.

   After talking about the drinking methods and effects of several scented teas, there was a knock on the door outside.

  Knowing that the servant is coming, Jun Li raised his voice, "Come in."

  After speaking, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and a few shallow footsteps came towards the two of them.

  The boy just now directed several other boys to bring up the meals one by one in an orderly manner and set them on the table.

  After the boys retreated, Junli picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Su Yunqing, and said with a smile, "How about a taste?"

  He hesitated, "You move your chopsticks first."

  Hearing this, Junli was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that this era is the same as in modern history where men are superior to women, women (men) move their chopsticks first, and men (women) move their chopsticks last.

   Regarding this rule, Jun Li sighed, but didn't say anything.

  I just picked up a chopsticks dish for him, "In the future, you don't have to care about etiquette so much when you have a meal with me in private. You can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to wait for me to move your chopsticks before eating."

  He froze for a moment, and gave a soft "hmm", but still didn't move his chopsticks.

  Jun Li had no choice but to know that she could not change her thoughts over the past ten years, so she put a chopstick of lotus root starch tofu into her mouth, and the tender and smooth taste made her index finger move.

   also picked up a chopstick of lotus root starch tofu and put it into his bowl, saying, "Hurry up and eat, I will take you to Bibo Lake to play after eating."

  He looked up and asked in doubt, "Bibo Lake?"

  Her lips raised a slight smile, "Well, Bibo Lake, let's swim in the lake after eating."

  Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly ate some dishes that Junli had picked for him in the bowl.

   Seeing this, Jun Xin felt a deep sense of sadness.

  For so many years, I have been trapped in the cage of the imperial palace, yearning for the vast sky outside, but I can't fly out no matter what, only the yearning in my heart. Presumably, he is eager for the outside world.

  Suddenly, she blurted out, "Do you like going out to play?"

  He stopped eating and nodded without hesitation, "Yeah."

  The smile on the corner of her lips widened a bit, "Then, do you like the world outside the palace very much?"

  He glanced at her and saw that she smiled so beautifully, he was a little crazy for a moment, and nodded in a daze.

   "If that's the case, then you stay here and don't go back to the palace."

  Her smile is very light, giving people a calm and breezy feeling. Her words were very soft, with a touch of intoxicating tenderness in her faint voice.

  But he raised his head abruptly, with a faint light flashing in his eyes, "You, tell me not to go back to the palace?"

  Jun Li nodded slightly, "You like the outside world, and the imperial palace is not suitable for you."

  Hearing this, he shook his head violently, "No, I like the palace very much." As he said, a deep tension flashed in his eyes.

  Jun Li sighed, "What you like is the outside world, not the huge cage of the palace. The palace is not suitable for you."

   "Imperial Palace, it suits me very well." His tone was firm, and he looked straight at her.

  She said indifferently, "Do you know why I haven't given you the imperial concubine?"

   Without waiting for his answer, he continued, "Because I don't want to bind you in the huge cage of the imperial palace just because of a title."

   Seeing moisture in his eyes, she sighed softly, patted his head lightly and said, "Don't cry, it's not that I don't want you anymore."

  Hearing this, he suddenly looked up at her, and said uncertainly, "You, don't you want me?"

She was stunned, stretched out her thumb and index finger, and flicked lightly on his forehead, "What are you thinking, why would I not want you, but I can't be by your side all the time. Let you live Outside the palace, so that no one will try their best to harm you, and there is nothing to restrict your freedom, you can go out to play anytime you want, and there will be no one or anything to stop you."
