169.Chapter 169

When the two flower explorers returned one after another, the new scholars continued to chant poems and express their feelings, singing and harmonizing, which was very enjoyable. They also understood what the audience waiting outside wanted to see, so a series of beautiful poems came out from time to time, and the wonderful sentences in them directly taught many literati to applaud them repeatedly. The poems of the new branch are particularly eye-catching, and the words and sentences are slightly better, and they really deserve their reputation.

However, Li Hui, who was deeply involved in several uninvited guests, was no longer interested in appreciating poetry. He just glanced at the manuscript sent by the servants lightly, and gave it to Yang Qian, Yan Zhan and Wang Zimu, and let the three of them gather around to comment on it. Princess Changning listened quietly beside her, and she didn't know whose words were slightly hooked by the corners of her lips. Li Jing and King Qi were even more interested in these literary endowments, so they simply ordered people to put out utensils and stubbornly started the play of throwing pots. Even Princess Yong'an looked at them with curiosity on her face.

It was not until dusk that the hibiscus feast finally ended, and the new scholars said goodbye to each other and returned home. The onlookers were also very satisfied, the crowd by the Qujiang Pond slowly dispersed, and the sound of laughter gradually faded away.

When he left the apricot garden, Wang Zixian was surrounded by extremely enthusiastic Guozixue and Taixue students. Yan Balang and other old friends stood aside with a smile, and finally found an opportunity to greet him. Because it was not early, they made an appointment for the meeting, and then they took their leave and left.

At the end of the song, the huge hibiscus garden was finally restored to tranquility. The prince who was standing alone suddenly looked back, and saw Li Hui walking slowly towards him out of the Peony Garden. He smiled and was about to call him, when he saw a few more uninvited guests behind him, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Because of these outsiders, it is difficult for anyone to be as close as usual, and the atmosphere is still a little delicate.

When Li Hui crossed the prince's offering, he just bowed slightly to him: "After a busy day, you are probably tired, go back to the vine garden to rest early." After these words came out, he felt a little lost in his heart, but also a slight sense of joy. In any case, no one will keep pestering him for answers tonight.

Vine Garden? On a special day like today, he even let him go back to the vine garden?

Wang Zixian seemed to see through the idea that he wanted to escape, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the king promise me yesterday to drink and celebrate tonight?" I've even prepared the wine I brewed myself from the past, so the king can't bear to disappoint me. ”

"Really? Did I ever promise such a thing? Why don't you have the slightest impression? Could it be that you are mistaken? Li Hui pretended to be puzzled, obviously planning to die and deny it. He finally came up with this excuse last night to avoid the answer, and he couldn't say anything today and the two of them couldn't have a drink. Otherwise, if the drunken spirit comes up and accidentally confides in some "truth" when he is drunk, there will be no room for regret.

The prince, who had never seen him look like this, couldn't help but laugh. He wasn't in a hurry to get an answer, and he knew he couldn't rush it. However, it is also quite interesting to occasionally tease and tease Xuan Qi, who makes him reveal all kinds of vivid expressions that he has never seen before. And these appearances that few people have seen belong to him alone, and I am afraid that even the King of Pu and his wife and the heir of King Pu have never seen them - as long as he thinks of these, he is extremely satisfied in his heart.

Before the two could argue in a low voice, they heard a "Zixian" behind them. The prince tightened his brows without a trace, and when he looked back, he had already regained his usual smiling appearance: "Cousin." ”

"Just now, I wanted to apologize to you on behalf of His Royal Highness King Qi, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity." Yang Qian smiled slightly, his eyes seemed to carry extremely sincere guilt, "He is still young, and he doesn't go out of the palace often, and there are some inconsiderate etiquette, I hope you will forgive me." Perhaps, His Royal Highness Concubine Xian has never mentioned it to him, and when it comes to blood, you are also his elder. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi's demeanor is very calm and outstanding, why did my cousin say this?" Wang Zixian took the words, and his eyes faintly swept over Li Jing and King Qi a few steps away. At such a close distance, no matter how low the voice is, King Qi may be able to hear their words clearly. How? Yang Qian was worried that King Qi would no longer rely on him wholeheartedly in the future, so he retreated as advance, wanting to lure him to leave the King of Qi with the impression of "arrogant and rude"?

Tsk, he's thinking too much. is such a spoiled prince like King Qi, he really can't look down on him at all.

"Moreover, cousin, don't mention it to His Royal Highness King Qi, I don't dare to call him His Highness's elder. In any case, it is only the status of a monarch and a minister. Of course, this "king" is not the other "king", but because he is the eldest son of the saint, the ministers all respect him as a "young king". As for the serious position of the prince of the East Palace, maybe he will never want to get it in this life.

"You've always been like this." Yang Qian shook his head with a smile, and changed the topic very knowingly, "I just heard Zimu mention that you two brothers didn't return to Chang'an until yesterday?" Ziling still stays in Shangzhou to help? Why, what is wrong with the family? If there's anything I can do to help, don't see it. ”

"......" Wang Zixian sighed softly, and stopped talking slightly.

Yang Qian knew that this kind of family event would not be passed on by any child of the family at will. Even the prince, who has always been frank and calm, mentioned this matter left and right, not to mention the always cunning prince. Something big must have happened to the Wang family, otherwise it would be impossible for these brothers to come and go in a hurry, and Wang Ziling has not heard from him so far. However, there were more than a dozen people sent by the Yang family to Shangzhou to inquire about the news, but they never found anything abnormal. There are thousands of people in the Wang family in Shangzhou, and the eyeliner they arranged is also making no progress.

How powerful is it to completely seal thousands of mouths?

He looked at the handsome young man in front of him vaguely, and the jealousy in his heart unconsciously deepened. Perhaps, it was precisely because he gradually realized that this son's ability was not only on par with him, but more likely to be above him, that he couldn't help the evil thoughts boiling in his heart, and tried his best to get rid of him completely.

It was clear that when he first met, he could completely crush him with just stretching out his fingers, but he didn't realize that he could threaten his fame and status. By now, it was too late to regret countless times. There was no longer the right time to quietly wipe out this person. Moreover, even if he succeeds in killing him in the future, the reputation of the youngest Jiadi head of the dynasty will no longer belong to him.

Just as Yang Qian was thinking about it, the prince sighed again, and it seemed that he had experienced all kinds of struggles in his heart, and then he whispered: "My cousin doesn't know anything, I really don't know how to talk about this matter." Zi Ling ...... Alas...... When will Cousin of Tomorrow be free? Why don't I go to the county mansion to visit my cousin? ”

"Tomorrow after sunset." Yang Qian said, according to the implicit meaning of his words, he had imagined countless scenes. Whether these scenes are true or false will have to be confirmed tomorrow. Of course, he couldn't just believe the prince's words, and Wang Zimu had to ask carefully.

After leaving the Furong Garden, Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an returned to the palace with King Qi, escorted by Yan Zhan all the way. Li Hui and Li Jing returned to King Pu's mansion, and Wang Zixian was temporarily separated from them because he was going to pick up Mr. Song at Ci'en Temple. Wang Zimu accompanied Yang Qian back to the Yang family's courtyard, always trying to maintain the peace of the past.

That night, just when Li Hui thought that Wang Zixian had given up the appointment to drink together and celebrate, he was slightly relieved, but inadvertently found someone holding two jars of cherry wine and came to him with a smile: "Xuanqi, do you want to go to the lake to drink to the moon, or just taste wine in the dormitory?" "He wasn't given a third option at all.

The "......" matter has come to this, Li Hui is still a little unwilling, trying to "die and struggle", "The hour is not early, we still have to go to the Chang Dynasty tomorrow, let's rest early." ”

"It's just two jars of cherry wine, it's not intoxicating, and it won't delay tomorrow's business, rest assured." The prince offered to ask the maids to bring the wine glasses and snacks, "Today is no better than other days, after all, it is the night of the hibiscus feast. It's only one time in your life - don't you want to drink with me even on a day like this? ”

Seeing that he was a little melancholy in his words, Li Hui was also a little unbearable for a while, so he had to sigh: "Only drink, don't mention anything else." ”

"Okay, just drink." The prince curled the corners of his lips, "Don't worry, how can I bear to spoil your wine?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hui glanced at him: "I was both happy and worried when I saw you last night, but what was your first word?" He remembered clearly, someone completely ignored his words of concern, and asked - Xuan Qi, how are you thinking about it? It's time to give me an answer, right? - On the spot, he was speechless for a while.

"You clearly promised me that when I return to Chang'an, you will inform me of the reply." Wang Zixian also said, "I am worried about this matter all my life, and I naturally hope to do my best to get results." Who would have thought that you would go back on your word and keep going on tomorrow and tomorrow? ”

"If I haven't figured it out yet, why do you keep asking? No matter how hard I chase after you, I can't give you a definite answer. Li Hui said, "You can wait with peace of mind, one day, I will definitely sue you-"

Warm, soft lips choked the words he had not yet spoken, licking the corners of his lips almost softly, and then violently breaking into his mouth, stirring the world upside down. Li Hui did not think about it, and instinctively counterattacked. In the entanglement of lips and tongues, the battlefield kept shifting, and the flames all over their bodies were burning higher and higher, as if even the blood was flowing with fire, almost melting them together.

After the kiss, the two looked at each other in a daze. Before they had even drunk alcohol, they were already slightly drunk.

"Drinking?" The prince's low voice rang out, and his fiery gaze lingered on his beloved, and he did not hide his longing in the slightest. Compared with drinking, he certainly hopes to be able to continue to rely on each other like Fang Cai, or even go further. But he knows better in his heart that if he is rash for a while, the other party may run away because he can't stand the tension and pressure. You must continue to forbear, slow down step by step, advance and retreat, attack and defend, and boil frogs in warm water in order to completely get the person on the other side.

"Drink." Li Hui gritted his teeth and opened the wine jar. He finally understood that as long as the two of them were alone, doing nothing was the easiest thing to do.

Who knows, Wang Zixian smiled softly: "It's okay, I want to taste it...... What does the cherry wine taste like in your mouth. ”

At the moment of "......", a bad premonition rose in the heart of King Xin'an - perhaps, he had already fallen into this deep pit called "Wang Zixian", no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to climb out.
