Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 50

Someone outside the house suddenly laughed softly.

The laughter is extremely pleasant.

Qin Changge smiled, knocked on the table, and said: "Cherry red and green water, light up the lamp and sing songs---I have heard that Zhao Wang is elegant, but I don't want to be in the realm of immortals, eating wind and drinking dew, walking through the sky to control the void--- -I admire you."

If you are pretending to be a madman, you have to pretend a little bit, otherwise how will you attract Xiao Chen's attention?Qin Changge was actually aggrieved-this is not her style!Her style is secretly insidious...

Since she was reborn, she has been practicing kung fu every night, and the kung fu she remembers is the best in the world. Now her eyes and ears are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and she has already heard someone approaching, quietly listening to her mother and son bickering in a slightly higher place outside the courtyard.

The man's breathing was unsteady, shallow and fine, and he seemed to have a serious illness --- who is it not Xiao Chen?

There was another chuckle, like a summer night breeze, soothing and comfortable, the air was immediately filled with the infinite fragrance of flowers, elegant, gentle and intoxicating.

There was a smile in the voice, "The master came here, and the plants were full of splendor. Chen went back to the mansion today, and he heard the wonderful news of the rabbit. He was eager to ask for advice. He didn't want to be a bad guest, and disturbed the dinner of Mr. and his son. I apologize. "

Qin Changge pouted at his son, Xiao Baozi pouted and ran to open the door, when the door opened, a large piece of moonlight poured in uninvited, shining like satin, spreading a color of silver and white on the ground in front of the hall, but not far away The person sitting obliquely on the bluestone under the moonlight is radiant, elegant and elegant like an exiled fairy, the fine moonlight reflects on his long clothes of blue sky and water, wearing a charm and elegance that is rare for people in the world, and his face is bright and clean , the eyes are as clear as the bright moon.

Hearing the opening of the door, he slanted his head sideways, and his smile was just right, extremely pure, which gave rise to the temptation of infinite attraction, but the noble and pure demeanor made people feel that it was so selfish and profane.

Qin Changge had already stood up to greet him with a smile, and bowed lightly under the moonlight, "My lord is so handsome, it's not in vain for Shen to leave his family and his son and travel thousands of miles away."

"Don't dare, it's my lord's good fortune to be favored by Mr. Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen smiled, "Is it my lord who disturbed the two of you having a meal? - I'm intoxicated with fine dining and fine dining, and I'm waiting to sweep the table. You two are willing to move away." Appreciation?"

Xiao Baozi didn't quite understand what he heard, he vaguely knew that he was being invited to dinner, and he treated him like a person in a very face-saving way, and he kept saying "Both", he was immediately overjoyed, and wanted to open his mouth to answer, but was rejected. The evil mother had just been rectified, and she didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she kept rubbing Qin Changge's sleeves, and kept pushing her, pushing, pushing, pushing...

Qin Changge bowed his head with a smile, leaned into his son's ear, and said softly, "Knead again, push again—I'll leave you to enjoy the meals in the room alone."

Brushing his hands back, Xiao Baozi gnawed his fingers again, feeling aggrieved, and vented all his resentment on his nails. I gnawed, gnawed... my nails, which were already broken, were filled with great hatred by him. , gnawed into lace.

Qin Changge pulled his hand away, patted his head to comfort him hypocritically, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Chen: "Given this by the lord, I dare not say goodbye. It is also my father and son's luck to be invited by the prince himself. Thanks a lot."

Xiao Chen smiled, "Please."

Zuixin Pavilion is the best place to see Zhaowang Mansion. It faces a clear water and faces the buildings on all sides. There are purple tassel palace lanterns hanging on the long corridor connecting the pavilion. Looking from a distance, it looks like a string of agate jade beads flying from the sky. There are only two colors of chrysanthemums placed in pots, the white sandalwood fragrance, and the light green spring water and blue waves, both are rare species. It is no wonder that there are so many in the palace. The same color of pink, white and green in the night is unspeakably beautiful.

One side of the promenade is empty, the wind is strong and there is a slight chill, but the Zuixin Pavilion is surrounded by brocade tents on all sides. It is a famous and extremely precious "snow shadow gauze" in China. The finely woven maple leaf pattern is gorgeous and bright, and it is quite suitable for the occasion. The pretty maidservant of Cardamom Nianhua came out with a smile and rolled up the veil for the master. There was a table of wine and vegetables in the pavilion, and the aroma immediately steamed over.

There are lights on all sides of the corner of the pavilion, blue and white pastels, built-in smoke pipes, there is no trace of smoke, and gold carved silver smoked balls hang on the walls, exuding a faint fragrance.

There was a person in the pavilion, tall and tall, looking at the lake view in front of him with his hands up and down, he turned around when he heard a voice, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Brother Shen."

It was Wen Zhengting.

Qin Changge secretly screamed that it was not good, but saw Baozi Xiao cheering, climbed onto the brocade stool, and immediately chewed with his chopsticks without waiting for a call. Jie's head was moving, Qin Changge looked at him with a frown, and Shangzi was thinking about whether to give him a supplementary lesson on etiquette and education, but Xiao Baozi waved his chopsticks in preparation for a rainy day, and said, "Just pretend I'm not here... When I'm not here..."

Qin Changge had no choice but to apologize to those two people, "I have no way to teach my son, I'm laughing at you."

With a slight smile, Xiao Chen said: "Your son is innocent and frank, lively and delightful, what's so ridiculous about it? It's really gratifying to see him being so romantic."

Wen Zhengting also said: "Mr. Ling is right today. I have seen it before. How can I teach my son that there is no way?"

He fixed his gaze on Qin Changge, as bright as a morning star.

Qin Changge didn't evade, turned his head to look directly at him, and said with a smile, "What's your surname, sir? Why do you look at me like this?"

"Don't dare, your surname is Wen." Wen Zhengting looked at her without blinking, and said, "I just think that brother Shen should know me."

"Oh?" Qin Changge raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm ashamed..." She smiled at Xiao Chen, "In Huainan, a secluded place, I don't know many high-ranking people in the world. I think brother Wen must be a famous scholar and a talented man. Really disrespectful."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, Mr. Wen's famous works are known both at home and abroad, and Feng Zaoying's voice is recognized all over the world. It is also my king's blessing to be handed over by Mr. Wen."

Qin Changge was satisfied in his heart, seeing Xiao Chen for a few years, he was still so smart.

Unexpectedly, that pedantic student ignored her sloppy eyes at all, still stared at her closely, and said: "I don't mean that, I just think..." He suddenly smiled, poured a glass of wine and drank it himself.

Qin Changge glanced around the pavilion, paused somewhere, then turned away immediately, glanced at Wen Zhengting, and said with a smile: "It's a beautiful night, the best time to drink, and stay until the early morning with the sound of the drum, why don't you drink?" Let's get drunk together, now that the wine is good and the scenery is in sight, but the good time is spent on remuneration, it is really against the kindness of the prince."

Wen Zhengting's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Yes, I'm the one who is rigid, and I failed the prince for nothing, so let me make amends first."

Now the three of them sat down to drink, Wen Zhengting never mentioned the topic just now, but only talked about local customs, human feelings, flowers and birds. High-spirited, high-spirited, but Xiao Chen has always been introverted and calm, keeping a low profile, just smiling lightly, or pouring wine for the two of them himself, and occasionally inserting a sentence or two, but it is the topic, the exquisite speech, which aroused Wen Zhengting. The talk was very lively, and there was another round of eloquence. The whole house could only see him pointing out the country and swaying all over the world, but Qin Changge was too lazy to speak, just listened with a smile. His sleeves are about to fly, but he picks up vegetables like flying---in short, he is also very busy.

When the wine was full, the topic of the literary madman began to shift from domestic to foreign. Dengping crossed the sea, pointing directly at various countries, and said, "Recently, Dongyan's national power is gradually recovering. It is said that it is the work of that national teacher. A young man has become famous, and his talent is amazing, but he doesn't know what kind of demeanor it is."

He said again: "I heard that Dongyan Guoshi is extremely mysterious, he lives in seclusion, and has no wives and concubines around him---speaking of this, it is somewhat similar to what those famous people said today--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sun is good."

Qin Changge smiled and said, "Oh?"

Wen Zhengting frowned and shook his head, with disgust on his face, "I don't know whether the rumors are true or not—I have always admired this national teacher, and I have seen his "Lun Guo" by chance. For this reason, Mistress Dongyan got his help, I don’t know how many lifetimes of blessings she has cultivated—but if there is such a thing, it will be greatly reduced, which is embarrassing.”

Qin Changge smiled and said: "This is nothing but the selfishness of human relations, but it has nothing to do with moral character. Brother Wen is too harsh."

Wen Zhengting shook his head, said yes and no, and started a long speech about Long Yang's goodness. Qin Changge didn't like to argue, and just listened to each sentence. She sat opposite Xiao Chen, and glanced inadvertently. Seeing that Xiao Chen was pouring wine with his head slightly lowered, with a calm expression and a steady wrist, but for some reason, he seemed a little lost in thought, and he didn't move the wine pot when the wine was about to overflow.

A servant girl beside him has been waiting for him. Seeing this, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "My lord, this jug is almost exhausted. Let me replace it with a new one." He gently took the wine jug without any trace. The glass will be full, and one more drop will overflow.

Xiao Chen smiled peacefully and said, "Okay." Looking up slowly, Qin Changge had bowed his head to drink.

The servant girl turned around to change the wine, her figure was graceful, Qin Changge took advantage of Xiao Chen's inattention, and took a careful look at her, she was a beautiful woman with an extraordinary appearance, it was even more rare that there was a heroic look in her eyebrows, and her manner was graceful and elegant , It's really not like a maidservant.

Thinking of her dexterity and invisibility just now, she became even more suspicious.

Look carefully, she has been by Xiao Chen's side all the time, and all the maidservants around her do not look at her, they understand something, but they don't point it out.

At this time, the night was getting late, Xiao Baozi had eaten and drank enough, and he had already slumped on the chair and fell asleep, Xiao Chen was also tired, bowed his head and coughed lightly, Qin Changge smiled and said: "Today's feast, I really enjoyed it—— - It's just that it's really late at night, and the prince is busy, so he should rest earlier."

Wen Zhengting glanced at her, looked at the sky, and immediately agreed, Xiao Chen sat still, just smiled and said: "It's okay, the future will be long, and there will be time for fun, Yunhua, send the two gentlemen off for me."

The woman who served the wine earlier bowed to answer, Qin Changge thanked Xiao Chen, and said goodbye to Xiao Chen. The woman named Yunhua held a palace lantern and led the way in front of her. Wen Zhengting didn't pay attention to the clouds at first, and couldn't help but chant when he saw them: "Ride on the wind of Jiuxiao, wandering around Yuezhenghua."
