The light of dusk is very beautiful, and the atmosphere between the three concubines is rendered gentle and harmonious, in this harem, there are few times when the concubines get along with each other so harmoniously and amiably. A few people sat at the round table chatting and watched the palace people go about their work as well. After a while, I suddenly heard a report that Huo Jingcheng had come early.

He was led by the palace people and walked in.

A few people only felt that their eyes lit up and they couldn't take their eyes off.

He is wearing a white dress today, and he is also covered with a thin silver light gauze coat, compared to the simple and elegant and refreshing of the plain day, his outfit today is very layered, and it adds a bit of stability and mystery to him. He came with a light smile, his clothes fluttering, the jade tree in the wind, the whole person was as bright as a pearl, and he was as handsome as a fairy.

The third concubine saw her heart beating, and she didn't know who came back to her senses first to salute, and the other two greeted her together.

Huo Jingcheng looked at the three of them with a smile, and said, "The three concubines are exempt. ”

Concubine Shu stepped forward and took his arm and led him to the table: "Your Majesty came early, and the concubine thought that His Majesty would come only after night." ”

"I had nothing to do, so I came over earlier." Huo Jingcheng already looked at the scene as he spoke, and said, "Today's scene is not small, isn't it?" ”

Several people accompanied him to the seat, Concubine Shu added tea for him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is coming, the concubine doesn't dare to be sloppy." ”

"Huh? Which stoves are used to bake things? He asked.

Concubine Shu smiled: "Yes, the concubine wants to change everyone's taste today." In the afternoon, the concubine ordered someone to marinate the meat, His Majesty likes to eat mutton, and the concubine chose a very tender lamb chop. ”

"Hmm." He answered, looked at Yao Duran, and smiled with a smile on his face: "Why isn't this banquet set up in the Wanton Palace today?" ”

Yao Duran looked at the Yingguang flower on his chest, and replied with a light smile: "The concubine wants to change to a fresh place, and originally wanted to go to Sister Wei's Luoyang Palace, but Sister Shu is very enthusiastic and took the initiative to invite us to Shuhua Palace for a gathering. ”

"I see, wherever you like, just like it." Huo Jingcheng said, turned to Wei Yanran and said, "Are you sure that I will be your subordinate?" ”

Wei Yanran was very confident and said confidently: "The concubine will definitely be able to win Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty is defeated, don't bother the concubine." ”

"Huh!" Huo Jingcheng sneered, and finally said, "That...... How about making a bet? ”

"What bet?" Wei Yanran said.

Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes and smiled deeply: "If you win, I promise you one thing, when you speak, I will follow you, but the premise is that it must be reasonable." And vice versa, if you lose, you have to promise me one thing, and when I open my mouth, you have to give it your all, how about it? ”

Wei Yanran thought about it and happily went forward: "Okay!" The concubine responded! ”

Huo Jingcheng stared at her with a smile: "Go to war, serve wine." ”

This is how the banquet began, staggered and staggered, pushing glasses and changing lamps. Huo Jingcheng and Wei Yanran want to divide the winner and loser, so the wine drunk by the two is counted by the palace people in cups on the side, and in the end, whoever admits defeat first is the loser, if no one admits defeat, they will count the number of cups they drink, and whoever drinks less is the loser.

Yao Duran and Concubine Shu watched the battle together, and the two drank each other from time to time, or the four of them toasted together.

The night soon fell, and the palace people lit up all the lanterns on the surrounding trees, and in an instant, the starlight was rising, the wind and the moon were charming, and the artistic conception was hazy and romantic.

Such as a beautiful flower to accompany the gentleman drunk and laugh, the deep palace is restricted.

Not far away, there are fireworks and fireworks, and the meat is scorched on the fire, and the fragrance is fragrant. The first thing to be served was a plate of lamb chops that were roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and after Huo Jingcheng tasted it, he praised: "The flavor is unique." ”

Concubine Shu smiled like a flower: "Your Majesty likes it, if you want to think about it in the future, you only need Qin An to inform you, and the concubine will be ready and waiting for you early." ”

Wei Yanran glanced sideways at Yao Duran, the two snickered, and then turned back.

After the grilled shrimp was served, Yao Duran suddenly remembered the time in Tianxuan Prefecture, in the Tianxuan Restaurant, Huo Jingcheng wanted to change her vegetarian habits, and the first thing she let eat was this roasted shrimp......

How wonderful it was then...... In a fairyland, ignoring the wind and rain, Lang is a concubine, lingering and compassionate, you chase me...... Alas, it is no longer chasable.

She stared down at the plate of grilled shrimp, an unconscious smile on the corner of her lips, and she was emotional. Suddenly, Huo Jingcheng had already sandwiched a peeled shrimp into her plate. She then came back to her senses, and just met his starry eyes, and he gazed deeply at her, and said something meaningful.

"The years of agarwood will never lose its color."

Yao Duran listened and threw a smile at him, everything was already speechless.

Roasted pigeon, roasted hare, roasted bell pepper, roasted tofu...... The table was served hot one after another, and the wine battle became more and more intense, Wei Yanran was really brave, and drank with Huo Jingcheng evenly, without losing a glass.

Wei Yanran triumphantly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and instructed Yingru beside her: "This tea is not warm enough, pour it for heat exchange, as long as there is hot tea to drink, the palace can suppress the strength of the wine." ”

After a while, I heard a tender and crisp voice in the night: "Father-Father-"

A few people followed the sound and saw that it was the third prince Yilan trotting over. Yilan is six years old this year, she is white and cute, and her face is more like Concubine Shu. He has a cheerful temperament and loves to play with slingshots, no, he is also wielding a delicate slingshot in his hand while running.

"Father!" Yi Lan smiled and threw herself on Huo Jingcheng's lap, Huo Jingcheng picked him up and put him on his lap, held his little hand with one hand, and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

Yao Duran watched him get close to his son, and his heart was warm and sour. Alas.

Concubine Shu looked at her son with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Lan'er heard that you are coming tonight, and she refuses to sleep at all, so she is waiting to see you in the side hall." With that, Concubine Shu tore off a small rabbit leg and handed it to Yilan.

Yi Lan stretched out her hand to take it, but Huo Jingcheng frowned and stopped, looked at Concubine Shu and said, "It's night, it's not appropriate to give him such a hard thing anymore, no wonder he often accumulates food." You know, if you want your child to be safe, you can divide hunger and cold, understand? ”

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more, put down the rabbit leg, and said, "What Your Majesty said is true." ”

At this time, there were several distant and hoarse geese chirping overhead. Yi Lan looked up, pointed to the sky and said happily: "Father, look, those are two geese!" I'm going to hit it with a slingshot and bake it for my father!" ”

Several people looked up, only to see two geese, one large and one small, flying leisurely in the moon shadow.

Huo Jingcheng retracted his gaze, looked at Yi Lan and said, "Lan'er, those two wild geese, one big and one small, can be seen to be a mother and a son." As long as the mother goose is laid, the child goose will be lost and die alone. Father asked you, do you want to fight this wild goose? ”

When Huo Jingcheng asked like this, it was obvious that he was probing his son's heart. Everyone was silent, looking at Yilan and waiting for an answer.

Yilan said without hesitation: "Naturally, I want to fight!" As long as I like it, whatever I do. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Jingcheng's starry eyes narrowed slightly, squinting at Concubine Shu, and his eyes were shining: "Oh? ”

Concubine Shu met his expression and immediately became nervous: "Your Majesty, Tong ...... There is no taboo in fairy tales. ”

Huo Jingcheng retracted his gaze, hugged Yi Lan down, and said in a steady voice: "Lan'er, you are six years old this year, and I miss you young, so I don't care about my father's answer." But after four years, your father will ask you another question, and if your father is still not satisfied with your answer, hehe......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, but Concubine Shu had already received his warning, and hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the concubine will definitely teach Lan'er well!" Your Majesty, rest assured! ”

Huo Jingcheng ignored her, and ordered the palace people to take Yilan back to the palace.

Concubine Shu was terrified, carefully added tea for him, and said, "Your Majesty, Lan'er is still young, is Your Majesty still angry because of this concubine?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "At the age of six, it is the time of qualitativeness, you can't teach him literature and martial arts, but you can teach him to have kindness and benevolence, right?" This is the tone of being a human being. What about you? Blindly doting, there are more parents in the world, did you give birth to a son alone? Think that at the beginning, when I beat Yi Zheng, the queen was so anxious that she shed tears on the side, and she couldn't bear it? If you don't discipline Yilan well, if you want this child to fall into my hands and discipline, he will only suffer more, won't you be distressed to death? ”

Concubine Shu echoed: "Yes, what Your Majesty said is that the concubine knows that he is wrong, and the concubine will definitely teach him how to be a man in the future." ”

Huo Jingcheng ignored her and looked at Wei Guidao: "How many glasses of wine have I left behind you?" ”

Wei Yanran said: "The concubine drank three cups in the middle of the day. ”

"Hmm." Huo Jingcheng picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Yao Duran boasted: "Your Majesty is massive." ”

The atmosphere has finally turned.

The night was getting deeper, Yao Duran and Concubine Shu were drunk, but Wei Yanran was not drunk, and she always drank with Huo Jingcheng, the two were evenly matched, and they fought endlessly, and they couldn't tell the winner.

Just as Wei Yanran drank the wine and picked up the teacup to drink, Huo Jingcheng suddenly stretched out his arm, snatched the teacup from her hand, and then put it in his nose and sniffed it. When he arrived, he looked at Wei Yanran with interest and said, "What a Wei nobleman, dare to play these carving insect tricks in front of me?" ”

Yao Duran and Concubine Shu were stunned, and they really didn't know why.

Huo Jingcheng looked at her teacup and said, "Think I can't see it?" You put the wine in your mouth, and then spit it into the teacup while you are drinking tea, spit it out a few times, and then say that the tea is not warm enough, and then change the heat. If you drink like this, no one will drink you. ”

"Oops!" Wei Yanran was embarrassed, and immediately got up and rushed to him, reaching out to cover his mouth: "Good Your Majesty!" Don't talk about it! You save some face for your concubines! ”

When Yao Duran and Concubine Shu heard this, they realized that there was such a trick in this, and when they saw Wei Yanran's reaction like this, they had already admitted it. The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Huo Jingcheng took her hand away and said with a smile: "Women are all liars!" Even I dare to fool me! I also have the heart to save your face, but if I don't expose it, won't I lose this wine war? ”

Yao Duran and Concubine Shu couldn't stop laughing, the fan in Concubine Shu's hand fell to the ground, and Yao Duran laughed so much that her stomach hurt.

Wei Yanran knew that she had provoked him, so she tried her best to coax him, rubbing her shoulders and beating her back: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wrong, you can forgive the concubine this time, good Your Majesty, your bet is really tempting, the concubine did this foolish thing in order to win." ”
