Zhong Ziyuan snorted, smelled the strong sour smell, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, drink this bowl of sobering soup, I guarantee that your county lord will wake up immediately, and there is nothing to do." ”

The maid trembled and scooped a spoonful of decanting soup and fed it to Akzhen's lips, but Akzhen gritted her teeth and couldn't pour it in, and a spoonful of soup was poured on her clothes.

Zhong Ziyuan frowned, and said to Guo Chenghe: "Don't just watch the excitement, don't go find a pair of chopsticks to pry the county lord's mouth open." ”

The maid was startled and hurriedly said: "No chopsticks, no chopsticks, the county lord can drink it!" ”

As if to confirm the maid's words, Akzhen's mouth finally opened slightly, and the maid carefully fed a few spoonfuls of decanting soup.

Zhong Ziyuan took out a piece of brocade from her sleeve pocket, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "It's good to be able to drink, it's good to be able to drink, as long as you drink the sobering soup, it won't take long for the county lord to wake up." ”

Akzhen probably really didn't like the strong smell of old vinegar, so she barely drank a few spoonfuls, and a strong sour taste mixed with the smell of wine churned violently in her stomach, rushing to her throat. She opened her eyes suddenly, and pushed away the spoon that the maid had carefully handed to her lips, and the sour juice from the spoon was scattered on the ground.

Zhong Ziyuan pretended to be surprised and said, "County Lord, are you awake?" I said this decanting soup would be useful! ”

"County Lord, are you alright?" The maid trembled and tried to help her. Akzhen waved the maid's hand away, and after she covered her mouth and retched a few times, a thick mist quickly gathered in her eyes. She glared at Guo Chengsi resentfully. He stood up suddenly, covered his mouth, lowered his head, and ran out of the hall quickly.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Jerod, who was sitting on the top surrounded by a group of dancing girls, poked out his head full of red lip prints. Drunkenly asked, "What's the matter with the county lord?" ”

A maid quietly looked at Nunu in the direction of Guo Chenghe, and said in a low voice: "The county lord is not strong enough to drink, so he will be so out of shape, don't blame the Khan!" ”

Yelu Tuo'er laughed and muttered indiscriminately: "The county lord is drunk, how can General Guo have nothing to do." Hurry up and toast General Guo. As he spoke, he pushed the two most beautiful dancers around him.

The eyes of the two dancing girls lit up. One person was holding a silver cup, shy and delicate. Came to Guo Chenghe's side step by step.

Zhong Ziyuan turned her head sideways to look at the dancing girl leaning on Yelu'er's arms, and saw her take a big sip of the silver cup, then climbed on his shoulder and crossed it with her mouth. And he fed the wine into the mouth of Jerodir. Finished. She also stretched out her ******** gently **** away the remaining wine foam from his lips.

Zhong Ziyuan was dumbfounded, this fragrant leather cup, which she often saw in the Fengyue Street in Chang'an City, was a common means used by prostitutes when flirting with benefactors. I didn't expect to see such a glamorous scene in the Khitan palace tonight. You don't have to think about it to know that the dancing girls will use these methods, and it has nothing to do with the Yue'er who was born in the Huaqiao Pavilion.

The dance clothes on the two dancing girls are light and elegant, and the waist is tightly wrapped with a colorful wide belt embroidered with a bird pattern, and the high and bulging **** is constantly trembling between walking. The man has not yet arrived. It has brought a burst of intoxicating fragrance, and I don't know how many men have coveted the faint dark eyes.

Seeing that the two dancing girls were about to come to him. One of them shyly drank the wine in his glass. Guo Chengsi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Zhong Ziyuan's wrist, and saw him suddenly exert force, she was caught off guard, and her whole body fell into his arms. He smiled slightly, stretched out his arm and hugged her slender waist firmly, refusing to let go again.

Zhong Ziyuan sat in his arms, blushing and whispering uneasily, "What are you doing here?" ”

Guo Chengsi looked down at her flushed cheeks with a smile, and whispered, "Do you want me to accept their toast?" ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, he was like a cat with his tail stepped on, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You dare! She stretched out her arm and hooked it firmly around his neck like an octopus, then glared back at the two dancers. In that way, it is like a little beast protecting its food and announcing its ownership, which means that this land has been occupied by me, and you have nothing to do, so you can stay wherever it is cool.

Seeing this, the charming smiles on the faces of the two dancing girls suddenly froze. They didn't dare to step forward to squeeze Zhong Ziyuan away, so they had to look back at Yelu Tuo'er helplessly.

Jerodor saw this scene with oblique drunken eyes, and couldn't help laughing. Then he waved his hand and said extremely impatiently: "Useless things, don't retreat!" The two dancing girls were stunned, and they had to reluctantly retreat to their original positions.

Zhong Ziyuan relaxed and wanted to get up, but who knew that his waist was tight, but it was Guo Chengsi who tightened his arms and refused to let go. She couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Chengsi whispered in her ear in annoyance: "You went out before, and this bastard Yelu Tuo'er actually proposed marriage to me, saying that he wanted to marry his aunt to me. I said that without the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker really did not dare to marry. The bastard boy actually said that his aunt didn't ask for the status of a wife, even if she was a concubine, she didn't need the orders of her parents, and she didn't need the words of a matchmaker. As he spoke, he quietly pouted to the other side.

Zhong Ziyuan took the opportunity to look sideways, and at a glance saw the plump and enchanting Khitan princess sitting opposite them, leaning on the knee of a young general, raising her bright face and saying something. The young general's face was red, and his eyes were full of obsession.

"This, this is the bastard's aunt?" Zhong Ziyuan stammered a little.

Guo Chengsi smiled lowly and whispered in her ear: "She is the youngest daughter of the old Khan, I heard that she is only seventeen years old. was originally married to Xiao Yixing. Hearing that the North Courtyard was in decline, after Xiao Yixing died in battle, she packed her bags and returned to the palace. ”

"She's a widow? No wonder he only asks for a concubine. Zhong Ziyuan secretly looked at the Khitan princess, and saw that her eyelids were painted with shiny gold dust, her red lips were delicately drawn, and she was also wearing a gorgeous dress with gold patterns on a red background, which was very different from the widow she imagined.

Guo Chengsi slowly picked up the hot milk tea in front of him and handed it to her lips. She happened to be a little thirsty, so she took a sip by his hand. Then he pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "My husband has only been dead for three days, and I am anxious to remarry." What a system! After a pause, she said puzzledly: "That's not right! If she wants to marry you, why does she seduce the man next to her in front of you? ”

Guo Chengsi picked up a piece of golden mutton and stuffed it into her mouth, and then said with a smile: "Because I rejected that bastard boy, I said that your sister Zhong is a tigress, if a woman wants to get close to me, she will definitely be killed by your sister Zhong by all means." He sent those two dancing girls to test your reaction. Thinking of Zhong Ziyuan's bright and flamboyant appearance. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it became, so he simply buried his face in her shoulder socket and chuckled sullenly.

"You bastard!" Zhong Ziyuan's cheeks were red. She struggled hard with her round and shiny eyes, long crystal tassels swaying around her cheeks as she moved. It's a pity that Guo Chengsi's arm is like an iron cast, and she doesn't move at all, she can't cry and laugh and shout: "Let go of me!" ”

Guo Chengsi saw that she was so embarrassed that even the roots of her ears turned red. I know the joke is too big. I had to reluctantly let go of my hand. Zhong Ziyuan snorted and returned to his place and sat down, tilting his head and refusing to pay attention to him.

The banquet was now coming to an end, and Yelut was so excited by the group of dancing girls that there were no more moths. Not long after, Zhu Fei also returned. He walked in a hurry, the sleeves of his robe were lightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were habitually smiling. After bowing slightly at Zhong Ziyuan, he sat down in his place. Zhong Ziyuan let out a big breath. Quietly stuck out his tongue.

At this moment, Guo Chengsi turned his head sideways. happened to see Zhong Ziyuan quietly sticking out his tongue. The moment the four eyes met, Zhong Ziyuan's movements froze, and Guo Chengsi frowned slightly, before he turned his eyes away as if nothing happened. Zhong Ziyuan sat down honestly, not daring to make any more moths.

The dinner party dispersed in Jerod's drunkenness, and the group of beautiful dancers was forced to divide up the group of them. Guo Chengsi led Zhong Ziyuan, Zhu Fei followed, and the three of them slowly walked out of the hall and walked towards the carriage.

There were still dozens of sergeants waiting by the carriage, armed with spears and riding Dawan horses, loyally waiting.

Before getting into the car, Zhong Ziyuan glanced at it casually and said strangely: "Why is the carriage of the county lord of Akzhen missing?" ”

Guo Chengsi helped her into the car, and teased: "Being poured down by your bowl of vinegar water, how can people still stay!" But I didn't expect her to be pretending to be drunk. Guo Chengsi has always felt that Akezhen is a hearty woman, but he didn't expect that no matter how hearty a woman is, there will be times when she is cautious, and it will make people unguardable.

Zhong Ziyuan clenched her fist and waved it proudly: "Whoever asked her to take advantage of my absence, she would have a bad heart." Since you say I'm a tigress, of course I'm going to use the tigress's deterrent power. ”

Zhu Fei then got into the carriage, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You! At best, it's a paper tiger! ”

Zhong Ziyuan stomped his feet and said unrelentingly: "Which end are you?" ”

While the three of them were laughing, the carriage slowly drove away from the main hall with a grunt.

The main hall is still a certain distance from the palace gate, and in addition to the tall camphor trees on both sides of the road, they are planted with all kinds of colorful flowers, and the faint fragrance of flowers is scattered everywhere. There are also countless lanterns hanging on the branches of the camphor tree, which are like stars falling into the mortal world, illuminating the road as if it were daylight.

Zhong Ziyuan lifted the thin curtain, looked out curiously, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "If you don't say it, no one must be able to see that this place only experienced a fire three days ago." ”

Zhu Fei smiled, and a cold voice sounded in the carriage: "The fall of a generation of kings has been replaced by the rise of a new generation of kings." As long as there are people with the right and wealth, not to mention just erasing the traces of being burned, it is no problem to push the palace to be rebuilt. ”

He looked at the silent Guo Chengsi with inquiring eyes, and said, "What do you think of Yelu'er?" ”

Guo Chengsi sighed, shook his head slowly, and said: "He is too young, judging from the dinner, he seems to have been carried away by this sudden victory, and he has already shown his arrogant and hedonistic nature. But what he actually is, I can't tell it at a mere dinner. ”

Zhu Fei pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "So that righteous sister, there is still a need to recognize it." ”

"Sister-in-law? What righteous sister? Guo Chengsi asked curiously.

Zhu Fei didn't answer, but looked at Zhong Ziyuan with a smile, and Guo Chengsi also turned his head to look at her suspiciously. Zhong Ziyuan coughed lightly and said clearly what happened to Yue'er outside the hall.

After finishing speaking, she added: "I agreed to Yue'er when I saw that Yue'er was pitiful and soft-hearted for a while, but when I watched that banquet before, although she couldn't enter, her handwriting could be seen everywhere, so I don't think she was as pitiful as she said." Whether this righteous sister recognizes it or not is all up to you, you don't have to think about my feelings. ”

Guo Chengsi flexed his fingers and tapped lightly on the small table in turns, obviously already in thought, Zhong Ziyuan honestly closed his mouth and did not disturb his decision.

After a while, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and a sneer appeared on his handsome face, and he said lightly: "Admit it, why don't you admit it!" Since he, Yelutuer, wants to get on the boat of my town, how can I not let him do it. ”

Zhu Fei originally took the teapot on the small table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and was taking small sips. After listening to Guo Chengsi's words, he shook his hand, and then chuckled again: "The world is bustling for profit, if you can't bring them great benefits, why do they need to catch up so openly and secretly." ”

Zhong Ziyuan asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Chengsi sighed faintly, lowered his voice and said: "Before I entered the palace, I got a flying pigeon from Chang'an, saying that five days ago, the emperor fell ill after a heavy rain when he accompanied Concubine Li on horseback riding in Shanglin Yuan, and he burned for three days and three nights, and all the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. My sister finally got the news of me, and immediately sent a letter to me, asking me to hurry back with the troops to prevent the situation in Chang'an from changing.! ”

"What?" Zhong Ziyuan covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't help but think of her brother, who also died of pneumonia caused by a cold.

Guo Chengsi didn't know in his heart that these people inside wanted to be close to him openly and secretly, but they didn't like him himself, nor the Zhenguo Mansion behind him, but the future prince of a country, the prince Zhu Houde.

In this era of lack of medicine and backward medical technology, perhaps just an inconspicuous wind and cold can easily take the life of a strong man. Now Zhu Xian's high fever for three days and three nights has not subsided, which is enough to make everyone pay attention to secretly. If Zhu Xian really has something, the crown prince Zhu Houde is the next emperor who is rightfully named.

And the crown prince is currently young, although the queen is young and famous, but she is only a woman after all. At this time, Guo Chenghe, as her only brother, is both civil and military, and will definitely get her full support. It is conceivable that in the future, Guo Chengsi will definitely be able to win the wind and rain in the officialdom. For the next fifteen years, he will be unmatched. (To be continued.) )
