Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 51

The woman turned her head and smiled, and said: "The long whistle is like the sound of a luan, the sun is unparalleled, and the posture of my concubine Pu Liu, I dare not be my husband's absurd praise."

In this answer, he first praised Wen Zhengting for his demeanor and talent, and then thanked himself, his words are elegant and very capable, Wen Zhengting's eyes brightened, and he praised: "I don't want Zhao Wangfu to hold lamps and servants, but also have such talents!"

Maid?You were mistaken, Qin Changge dragged his son, insisting that he go on his own to digest his stomach full of water and land treasures, and smiled lazily in his heart.

Dawn, the darkest hour before the sky will dawn.

In Xiliang State, it is called the time of "beating the drum", because it is the time when the drum is played in the palace to urge the emperor to get up, so it is also called "the drum of heaven".

The drums are rumbling, but the Longzhang Palace is still standing quietly in the darkness, sleeping like its master. The wind sneaks in from the window lattice, blowing through the purple and gold curtains, jade hooks and pearls, and behind the bright yellow veils, golden dragon and phoenix pillows and brocade silk mattresses The splendor is brilliant, and there are faint figures, whose figure undulates like beautiful mountains.

Xiao Jue turned over exhaustedly, and didn't want to get up lazily - he fell asleep last night when he suffered from insomnia, and he was very tired after sleeping for less than two hours. It's fun to pierce the drum skin.

The slender, pink and greasy arms stretched out lightly, the fingertips were red and seductive, accompanied by the charming voice of the woman's soft words, the whimpering sound lingered in the dark bedroom where the fragrance was scattered, full of ecstasy, "...Your Majesty ..."

Frowning, brushing away the restless lotus arms of the woman, Xiao Jue closed his eyes and said in a daze, "Changge, don't make trouble!"

The snow-colored jade arm suddenly froze, and the slender fingers, which were constantly busy, were bent into a strange posture and froze in mid-air.

Xiao Jue suddenly opened his eyes.

...What did you say just now?
Huo Ran looked back, and was facing the terrified eyes of the woman above, her charming face was full of panic, her lips trembling and grabbing her clothes, intending to stay on the bed to plead guilty, but she did not give up deliberately revealing the exquisite curves of snowy skin and jade skin, hoping to make the emperor lost in emotion .

With a cold face, Xiao Jue grabbed the mattress and dragged it hard.

"what!"

The woman screamed piteously, her body was flipped over by the pulled mattress and she fell down on the couch, her forehead hit the corner of the couch with a bang, and she couldn't get up for a while.

Looking down coldly from the couch, Xiao Jue's narrow, bright eyes were deep and cold, "Mr. Qian, I ordered you to sleep in the outer hall, yet you dared to climb onto the imperial couch!"

Meiren Qian, who was treated like this by the emperor when she was called into the dormitory for the first time, was already frightened. She looked at the king like ice and snow, and she thought of the great taboo that had been passed down in the palace for a long time. His hands and feet were numb, so he turned over and knelt on the cold ground, regardless of the redness and swelling of his forehead, and desperately kowtowed to apologize. Tears dripped down and dizzy on the bright gold brick floor.

"roll!"

The disheveled and weeping Qian Meiren was dragged out by the eunuchs, and Xiao Jue fell heavily on the couch, her eyes wide open without any sleepiness.

"Boom." The second drum sound, Shen Xiong's voice sounded.

Through the sky and clouds, through the corridors and deep palaces, through the sky streets and alleys, and the inner courtyard of the palace, it spreads to the ears of those who are deeply asleep, insomniac, or who have not slept at all.

Qin Changge was the one who didn't sleep.

Standing in the courtyard with her hands behind her back, looking up at the dark sky where she couldn't see anything, Qin Changge looked very chic and elegant - in fact, she really wanted to sleep.

It's a pity, there is no way, words must count.

"We might as well get drunk together when the drum is ringing in the early morning." This sentence was meant for Wen Zhengting, meaning: when the drum rings in the early morning, let's meet again.

Wen Zhengting understood, so he was willing to let her go at the banquet.

After a while, there was a loud bang on the wall.

Someone fell from the wall.

When Qin Changge turned around, he saw that Wen Dacai was getting up from the ground quickly, dusting off his clothes quickly, not wanting to show her the embarrassment of being stung and eating mud just now.

Qin Changge was silent.

Why climb the wall?
I've bolted the door—but you can knock...

Why are you so papaya-headed, climbing the wall when the door is locked?
Qin Changge looked at him innocently, and smiled, "Brother Wen is so elegant, does the night on the wall look better?"

Cleaning the whole body in a hurry, Wen Zhengting tried his best to keep his expression straight, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen was joking." With one hand, he quietly clenched the bottom of the torn robe.

Qin Changge pretended not to see it, and went forward to take Wen Zhengting's hand enthusiastically, "Brother Wen has come, and the succulent is shining, come, sit in the room..."

Wen Zhengting didn't answer it, he just stretched out his hand, and then quickly grabbed his robe again, looking embarrassed.

Smiling and letting go, Qin Changge was too lazy to play any more pranks, so he just sat casually in front of the stone table in the courtyard and said, "Since Brother Wen thinks the room is stuffy, then go here. If you want to ask anything, hurry up, or next time, Maybe I won’t answer next time.”

Wen Zhengting smiled awkwardly, but also sat down involuntarily. The unremarkable man in front of him had a casual description and concise speech, but his demeanor had a noble temperament, and even more faintly domineering, like someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He is also dignified and self-sufficient in his behavior, which makes people respect him and dare not disobey him. He is a madman who is a proud prince, and he may not pay attention to high-ranking officials and nobles.

However, the question lingering in his mind still needs to be asked. He thought about it for a while, but he didn't know how to ask it.

Qin Changge smiled, and did it for him, "You want to ask me, what's the relationship with Empress Ruiyi?"

Staring blankly at Qin Changge, Wen Zhengting stretched his hand into his sleeve, and gently squeezed the piece of paper that had been treasured for many years. Many years ago, the day when the white waves were flying and laughing at the spring flowers, the top of Lishan Mountain was criss-crossed. Talking about the days of laughing proudly, my wild and triumphant laughter was shredded by a piece of paper that was handed out by a commoner woman. From then on, that piece of soft paper accompanied me all over the world. In the days of walking around the world and seeing the mountains and rivers, the old narrow-mindedness and arrogance are gradually washed away by the magnificent scenery. Occasionally, there will be madness, but touching the paper, I will subconsciously restrain myself.

During many silent nights, when he lived in the mountains and traveled alone, and the lonely lamp was on and off, he took out the paper countless times, and his eyes flicked over the handwriting over and over again.

The handwriting is not like a woman's handwriting, with a strong character and strong style, and the brushwork is free and unrestrained. Between the iron painting and the silver hook, the awe-inspiring meaning gradually emerges.

After reading too much, the handwriting will be deeply embedded in his memory, and he will never forget it.

Just like today, in the side hall, this man who called himself Shen Wuxin had a long couplet, which shocked him.

Just as it is impossible to have two identical faces in this world, it is also impossible to have identical handwritings of two people in this world.

Who is he?
Qin Changge had already thought of this omission. Wen Zhengting had seen her handwriting, and had already figured out how to deal with it. The so-called lying must be mixed with three parts of the truth in the seven parts of the lie, so that people can be confused—— Mr. Jin said, Lord Wei's must-kill skill.

"To be honest, I'm a woman disguised as a man."

Wen Zhengting was stunned, but she heard her say again: "You saw the handwriting, so you doubted it, right? Back then, when Empress Ruiyi was writing couplets in the brocade tent, I was the servant girl who waited on the pen and ink. The Queen's handwriting, I admired it very much, and rashly asked for the Queen's handwriting. The Queen was magnanimous, and I didn't refuse because of my humble status. After that, I pondered every day and copied it from time to time. Over time, I also learned the Queen's handwriting——I am here On the other hand, it can be regarded as somewhat savvy.”

Her tone suddenly turned sad, and she said quietly: "Later, I married in Huainan and had Rong'er. My late husband unfortunately passed away and I had no livelihood. I was helpless and embarrassed. I heard that Zhao Wang was a disciple, so I had to disguise myself and vote today. Seeing that the expression on the couplet sentence is different, I know that the husband has doubts, so I invite you with words, and I come here to make it clear. Please also see that my orphan, widow, and mother are miserable and helpless. Please keep your mouth shut. Thank you in advance It is." He said with a slight salute.

Wen Zhengting immediately jumped away, Qiqi Ai said: "Ah...no need, no need, no, no, no, no, no, don't worry..."

Qin Changge straightened up, blinked his eyes, and said: "Since sir knows my identity, it is inconvenient to stay with him now...Please come back, sir, and hope that from now on, everything will be as usual in Wuxin. Wuxin naturally doesn’t have to worry about identity leaks anymore, thank you in advance.”

Then he went to open the door and bowed with a smile, "Lonely men and widows, don't dare to stay for a long time, sir, please, please."

Wen Zhengting was invited out of the yard in a daze.

After walking a long way, looking down at the moonlight fading away, she suddenly said: "No, what did she mean? She sent me away in a few words and hinted to me that if her identity was leaked, it would be because of my infidelity. In the future, I will Fame, I have to cover up her identity... I am also stupid, I know that it is impossible to be the first queen, but I still have to ask something... Now, I am her accomplice... Hey! This treacherous woman! "

Angrily, he kicked a tree beside him.

But I heard a chirp.

The robe, which had already been torn by a large seam, suddenly opened to the waist due to his movements, and the two pieces were split, dragging behind the buttocks in a funny way.

Wen Zhengting groaned and wept: "What's the matter? It's insulting to the gentleman..." He walked a few steps with his hands on his buttocks, and suddenly frowned and murmured: "It's not right... It's still not right... Besides, it doesn't matter who you are hiding this matter from. You can't hide it from the lord, the lord has shown great kindness to me, and we should repay it with our hearts... The lord is benevolent and righteous, he will sympathize with her like I do, and will not hurt her..."

He had made a plan, and when he saw someone approaching from a distance, he hurried away.

Zhang, an early-rising kitchen clerk, passed by carrying water, and saw a tall black shadow dragging two strange wing-like things, covering his back, jumping and flying into the darkness, and was shocked. , with a bang, the bucket fell to the ground, and the water splashed half of the trousers without realizing it, and shouted: "Monster!"

The next day, the news of the ghostly mandrill appearing at Tiangu time spread throughout Prince Zhao's mansion in horror.

"I heard from Ah Zhang, that ghost has two huge wings!"
