Chapter 167: Honor in Troubled Times 135
Wang Qi followed the guards and entered the palace standing among the young but very smart and outstanding students selected from all over the country.
He has been walking in peace, and he does not dare to look around, nor dare to talk to people.
When he arrived at Fengqi Palace, Wang Qi heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice, and he almost cried.
He still has some memories of his childhood.
He still remembered that An Ning used to play with him at that time, hugged him, and coaxed him to eat.
After so many years, hearing An Ning's voice again, Wang Qi knew who it was as soon as he heard it, but he had a very strange feeling.
This is no longer his aunt, but a dignified existence after a country.
"Let them in. ”
When Wang Qi heard this, he followed the students into Fengqi Palace.
He's always been on the scoreline and doesn't dare to perform well.
An Ning looked at a few students, asked some questions, and took another test, and then she looked at Wang Qi with a smile: "You are Wang Qi?"
Wang Qi raised his head slightly: "Hui Niangniang, I am a student." ”
"I've heard my brother mention you. ”
An Ning smiled and beckoned Wang Qi to come closer: "Where have you learned now? Have you ever read through the Four Books and Five Classics? Have you ever learned arithmetic?"
Wang Qi said softly: "I have read it all, and I have also learned arithmetic, and the master said that I am good at arithmetic." ”
An Ning asked Wang Qi to do a question, and Wang Qi quickly figured out the answer.
An Ning smiled: "You learn very well, it just so happens that King Rongjun also likes arithmetic, so you can study with King Rongjun." ”
"Thank you for your grace. ”
Wang Qi knelt down and thanked him.
An Ning smiled: "Xiao Luzi, you take Wang Qi to find the king of Rongjun." ”
An Ning called a little eunuch and asked him to take Wang Qi to King Rongjun.
Wang Qi followed the little eunuch and walked out.
Before I could go out, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl hurrying over.
The girl was dressed in a silver-red riding suit, her hair was tied up high, and she walked with great strides, and there was an indescribable heroism.
She walked in front, followed by several girls trotting behind.
When it was closer, the girl glanced at Wang Qi and nodded to Wang Qi with a smile.
Wang Qi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl.
Xiao Luzi smiled and saluted: "I've seen Princess Chuyang." ”
"What is the Queen Mother doing?"
Princess Chuyang asked.
Xiao Luzi said: "I am meeting with students from all over the world, and I will choose a companion for His Royal Highness." ”
Princess Chuyang thought for a while: "In this case, I will go to the side hall to rest for a while." ”
She left a word and hurried away.
Wang Qi glanced at her back several times.
He was thinking, Princess Chuyang probably didn't recognize him, too, several years have passed, everyone has grown up, and they have all changed, so naturally they can't recognize him.
When Princess Fengyang arrived at the Imperial Village, it was a little late, and she was a little tired all the way, so she washed up and fell asleep directly.
When she got up early the next morning, Princess Fengyang went to the greenhouse.
The conservatory here in Huangzhuang is very large, and there are a lot of flowers planted in several glass conservatories, and Princess Fengyang went to the conservatory to cut a few budding flowers and returned to the room.
Dressed in a light blue cotton dress, a green silk skirt, and long hair, she sat at the desk in front of the window with flower scissors and trimmed the branches, and inserted the flowers into the thin-necked vase.
After arranging the flowers, Princess Fengyang called Lu Dafa's family to come over.
"How are the troupes doing these days?"
Lu Dafa smiled: "Those individuals live well in Zhuangzi, there are fresh vegetables here, and they have eaten a few times. ”
Princess Fengyang lowered her eyes: "What is the name of the one that the queen mother once praised earlier?"
Lu Dafa hurriedly replied: "The surname is Qi, and the name is Qi Nanxue." ”
"That's a good name. ”
Princess Fengyang hooked her lips and smiled: "You go and call him over, let him sing a paragraph to the palace first, and the palace will also listen to whether there is any growth." ”
Lu Dafa's salute and withdrew.
Qi Nanxue started to practice and open his voice early in the morning, he was singing a paragraph in the play book that An Ning gave him at this time, this paragraph is very difficult, Qi Nanxue has practiced for several days and has not found a feeling, he is trying to sing in a different way, and he saw Lu Dafa coming over.
"Qi Nanxue, hurry up and prepare, the princess asked you to go over and sing. ”
Qi Nanxue looked down at the sweat on her body that had come out of her practice: "Auntie, I'll go wash up and change my clothes." ”
Lu Dafa was very anxious: "Just take a hot handkerchief and wipe it, quickly change your clothes and leave, don't make the princess wait for a long time." ”
Qi Nanxue ran back to the house and quickly cleaned up.
He followed Lu Dafa's family towards Princess Fengyang's residence, and as he walked, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
The princess still remembers him, and wants to listen to him sing, princess...... Do you also think that he sings well, if he sings well, can he stay with the princess and sing to her from time to time?
The weather outside was very cold, and when Qi Nanxue was about to arrive at Fengyang's residence, fine snow beads floated in the sky, and he couldn't help but shiver when he was cold.
When she arrived at the place, Lu Dafa asked Qi Nanxue to stand under the porch and wait, and she went in to pass the ceremony.
Soon, Lu Dafa came out and let Qi Nanxue in.
Outside and inside are two worlds.
The cold people outside want to huddle together, but inside the house is as warm as spring.
The room was spacious and warm, with a thick carpet and a hot floor because of the burning of the dragons.
About in her own room, Princess Fengyang was dressed very casually, just wearing a short thin jacket, the thin jacket was very plain, only embroidered a circle of small flowers at the neckline and cuffs, and there was no decoration on the side.
She wore a green silk skirt, showing a slender waist and holding it.
Moreover, Princess Fengyang did not wear shoes, she stood barefoot on the ground.
Qi Nanxue didn't dare to raise his head, he lowered his head, but because he lowered his head, he could see Princess Fengyang's jade feet clearly.
The feet were as white as jade, small and exquisite, and the ten toes were painted with some danko, like ten red petals.
Qi Nanxue only felt a tightness in his heart, and his throat was a little thirsty, so he quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again.
It's just that I don't know when Princess Fengyang has already walked to his side.
There is an indescribable alluring aroma on the princess's body, this fragrance is very quiet, but it is entangled in a silky way, this kind of incense does not know whether it is incense, or the princess's own body fragrance, the closer it is, the more Qi Nanxue can't stand it.
He was frightened and hurriedly took a step back: "Say hello to the princess, princess Chitose ......"
Princess Fengyang smiled: "Don't kneel, get up and talk." ”
Qi Nanxue still knelt respectfully, and then got up.
Princess Fengyang was very close to Qi Nanxue at this time, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The queen mother praised you for singing well that day, and the first two princesses also praised you, I had a lot of things that day, but I didn't want to listen to the play, what you sang, I didn't listen, I have time today, you sing a part and I'll listen to it." ”
Qi Nanxue's voice became very hoarse and dry: "What does the princess want to hear?"
Princess Fengyang took a few steps back and sat down on a chair covered with white fur.
The chair was very large, she nested in it, even more petite, she held her chin with one hand, and her voice was sweet: "Why is your voice so hoarse, is it hot in this room, you feel thirsty." ”
She waved her hand: "Li Niang, go pour a cup of tea for Qi Gongzi to moisten your throat." ”
Li Niang went out with a smile.
Qi Nanxue couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
He has sung opera since he was a child, and he has also sung to some people's churches, and there have been dignitaries and nobles who have come to the theater to let him sing, for so many years, no matter who wants him to sing, no matter whether he is sick or in pain, no one has ever cared.
But this time, he just said a word in front of the princess, and the princess heard that his voice was uncomfortable, and even asked him to eat tea and sing again.
Also, the princess's sentence of Qi Gongzi made Qi Nanxue feel that the princess respected him in her heart, and she didn't look down on him in a single spot.
He was not an object in front of the princess, not a slave, but an upright person.
