Chapter 158: Goodbye Man
Legend has it that the king of war is not close to women, ruthless, but he is so fond of this princess of Liuli Kingdom, it turns out that he doesn't know how to love, but he hasn't met the right person!
"What an envy!" A certain passer-by woman looked at Pi Qingxuan obsessively.
"You see, our War Lord looks at the princess with a gentle look, not at all like him who is usually cold."
"Yes! Oh, yes! This princess is so beautiful, she is a good match for the prince! ”
The chatter was endless.
As long as the two of them pass by, they will attract many onlookers, and it is simply a dazzling existence.
This "cloud clothing store" is a high-end clothing store in the entire three major countries, and it can be said that no store can be compared.
Even the ladies in the palace have to rush to make an appointment in advance, and most of the time they can't get a single dress.
And the family behind this shop is the war king Pi Qingxuan, for him, he has never cared about this shop.
However, when he met Nangong Keqing, this "cloud clothes shop" regained his eyes.
I still remember that when I was in Liuli Country, the first colorful auspicious cloud costume given to her came from the "Cloud Clothes Store".
Because, in his heart, he wants to customize the most beautiful clothes in the world for his women.
A large box of fine clothes was loaded into the carriage and went all the way to the jewelry store......
Undoubtedly, she has become the object of attention of everyone in Kyoto.
"What do you want to eat in a moment?" She stroked her messy hair around her sideburns.
Nangong Keqing blinked her clear phoenix eyes, and said coquettishly: "Go to my fragrant little bamboo!" You haven't been there once! Try it and give some advice. ”
Her clear eyes reflected his shadow, "Good." ”
The two went to the private room on the second floor and sat down, and the shopkeeper Wang Jiang personally greeted and entertained them.
It only took a while, and a table full of food was served.
Wang Jiang respectfully introduced:
"The signature dish of the prince and princess is roast duck, and the most classic is crispy pork ribs, a product of concubine meat, five-spice deboned meat, jade lotus leaf powder, the first shrimp dumpling emperor, cured cattle, and three fresh soups."
"Xuan, you taste it, it's really delicious." Nangong Keqing was busy and prepared vegetables for him.
"Hmmm! You eat too. She picked up a piece of deboned meat and brought it to her mouth.
She was not pretentious, and opened her mouth to eat the meat he had sandwiched, "Very delicious, this is one of my favorite specialties." ”
"Know you like meat." Qi Qingxuan's deep eyes were full of doting.
"No, I like it when it's not all meat, for example, I don't like meatballs, I don't like the meat in stir-fried dishes, I like the meat that is removed from the bones, and the sauce elbow......"
"Yes, there are lamb chops, lamb legs ......" Pi Qingxuan took over very understandingly.
Yuhe couldn't help but smile and said, "The princess also loves to eat sauced beef." ”
"Sure enough, they are the people who know me best."
Nangong Keqing picked up a piece of shrimp dumplings and handed it to his mouth, and coaxed mischievously: "This is delicious!" Yes! Mouth. ”
Pi Qingxuan's eyes were full of tenderness and pampering, and he elegantly ate the shrimp dumpling emperor that someone had sandwiched.
A meal is spent in the dishes you go back and forth, and you never get tired of it.
Since the Four Princes' Mansion was raided, Ai Xin'er has also lived on the streets.
At this time, her shrunken figure almost froze to death on the street in the first snow of winter.
Just when she felt that this life was over, a warmth wrapped around her.
"You're alright!" The man's deep voice sounded slowly.
Ai Xin'er looked at the fox fur on her body, and then at the person, who was wearing a black hat and couldn't see his face clearly.
"If you follow the deity, you will not starve to death or freeze to death on the streets."
"Who are you?" Ai Xin'er asked weakly.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who harmed you like this, the deity can make you realize your desire for revenge."
"I don't have any hatred, you're looking for the wrong person."
"Really? If it weren't for that woman who hurt you like this, Qi Mo wouldn't have died, would you have become what you are now? ”
Ai Xin'er's confused eyes flashed slightly, and she turned her head to look at him again, and said in a low voice: "You have a grudge against her?" ”
The mysterious man's face was stunned, this woman was much smarter than Lu Yiyi, and her vigilance was quite high.
"No revenge, but don't you want revenge?"
"You know everything about me, but I don't know you, you want to use me, but you don't say what I have about you, so what's the need for cooperation?"
Ai Xin'er smiled contemptuously, pulling a hideous and terrible scar on her face, which looked a little gloomy.
"Hahaha...... You're really smart, but the deity likes to be smart, okay, in exchange, the deity tells you that the deity has no enmity with her, but she and her man are in the way of the deity. ”
The man paused and said: "The deity can only say this, if you want to survive, only the deity can help you, you can do it, either starve to death here, or freeze to death here." ”
As he spoke, the man got up and wanted to leave.
Ai Xin'er's pupils shrank, and her pale lips opened: "Okay, I promise you."
……
In winter, the weather is cold and windy.
Nangong Keqing invited Pi Qing, Pi Chen and the Leng brothers and sisters to have a small gathering in Kyoto's most famous "Pin Ming Xuan", which is also the most outstanding shop in Pi Qing Xuan.
Knowing that Nangong Keqing was most afraid of the cold, he specially ordered someone to make several precious fox fur "Dayu" cloaks to protect against the wind and cold.
Qi Qingxuan personally dressed her, and her big eyes under the snow-white fluffy cloak were shining, blinking, and she was very good-looking.
Several people arrived as promised.
"The Leng brothers and sisters have seen the prince and the princess." The two said respectfully.
Qi Qingxuan raised his hand and signaled: "No courtesy, sit down!" ”
The people sat down.
"I heard that the queen is crazy in the cold palace, I don't know if it's true or not." Said coldly.
"But there is such a thing." The eldest prince agreed.
Nangong Keqing took a sip of tea and said secretly: "It's still against heaven to do evil, and you can't live if you do it yourself." ”
Qi Chen's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "It makes sense." ”
I haven't seen her for a few months, she seems to have become more bright and moving, is she doing well?
Qi Chen stroked the rim of the cup with a pair of slender hands, and his heart was heavy.
Pi Qing took a sip of tea and said:
"Since the fall of the second and first party, the third has become active, judging from several court politics, his father agrees with several changes, and the court has also received the support of the minister."
"Yes! He was very isolated before, never participated in the palace struggle, the second prince tried to win him over without success, such a low-key person, this time the second prince fell, but he emerged in front of the emperor. Leng Yan said bluntly.
The third prince Pi Zhai seems to be timid and afraid, staying away from the palace fight, and indulging in women.
In essence, he covered up the edge, made everyone ignore him, and finally made a blockbuster, and indeed he did it.
In fact, if Pichen is willing to return to the court, what else can he do?
Qi Chen drank the tea in his hand and said lightly: "No matter who it is, it's always good to be able to share the worries of my father." ”
Although, he also felt that the third child was a little thoughtful, but he was the son of his father after all, and he didn't do anything contrary to the court and his father, as long as it was good for Dashun, everything was not a problem.
"You should go back to the court and share the worries of the imperial brother, do you know what the imperial brother thinks......" Qi Qingxuan's indifferent face was plated with a layer of gray.
Nangong Keqing stared at Qi Chen, she remembered that Qi Qingxuan said:
His mother is a woman who has no quarrel with the world, and when he was twelve years old, his mother died in the palace fight in the harem, and he has not been able to find out who was killed until now.
Therefore, he is extremely disgusted with the treacherous and changeable court, and deeply hates the fight of the harem women.
Nangong Keqing felt uncomfortable for a while, and even felt a little distressed, such a fairy-like character also had the breath of the world.
Qi Chen looked at Qi Qingxuan's deep and dark eyes, and subconsciously dodged.
He said in a daze: "What Uncle Huang said is that maybe it will be ...... for a while."
At this time, a young woman came in from outside the door, "May I ask how many masters, do you need to sing?" ”
Leng Yan came at a very timely time: "Let's have a paragraph!" ”
"Yes, sir."
A pipa song came faintly......
"Xiaolian first put on the pipa strings and played through the blue clouds. The hatred of the embroidery pavilion is clearly passed on to the song......"
After a song, Leng Yan clapped his hands.
"Princess, in my memory, you are the first person to talk about the guzheng; When it comes to, no one can match the five princes. Leng Yan said with his eyebrows fluttering.
"yes...... The fifth brother's flute sound is a must, like a fairy song. Qi Qing praised without hesitation.
"Big brother, you are the best at making fun of your younger brother." Qi Chen smiled helplessly.
Leng Yan looked at Nangong Keqing, "Princess, you haven't heard the sound of the fifth prince's flute!" ”
Then, he turned his head to look at Qi Chen and said excitedly: "Give our princess some knowledge."
Qi Chen looked at Nangong Keqing, his eyes darkened, and he hesitated in his heart.
"Chen, they've all heard it, I haven't heard your flute yet, they are so amazing, I'm curious, I want to listen."
Nangong Keqing smiled lightly, and there was a look of longing in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
The best flute sound she has ever heard is on that Song Mountain, where the two play the piano and flute together, appreciating each other.
"Let the princess smile, it's better to be respectful than to obey her fate." Qi Chen smiled lightly.
The smile is as warm as the sunshine bathed in spring, and it is like an immortal who has an outstanding demeanor and captivates the country and the city, and it is like an immortal who has fallen into the dust by mistake.
Pi Chen stood up elegantly, facing the window lattice, and a warm, mellow, and deep flute sound slowly sounded......
The familiar melody floated into Nangong Keqing's ears, and suddenly, Nangong Keqing's eyes changed.
Like the clear eyes of the blue waves, filled with this faint warmth, the curvature of the corners of the mouth is as perfect as a crescent moon.
Isn't he blowing on Songshan Mountain, did she play "Between Mountains and Waters"?
It turned out to be him? The one who competed with her.
Everyone was intoxicated by his beautiful flute sound, and only Qi Qingxuan noticed Nangong Keqing's strange appearance.
He frowned slightly and drank his tea quietly.
At the end of the song, the eldest prince and the Leng brothers and sisters all applauded.
"Fresh and elegant, rich in emotion, far-reaching artistic conception, good song, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the attainments of the fifth brother have reached a higher level." The eldest prince couldn't help but admire.
The five princes were moved by feelings, and what they said was eloquent, and their voice sounded as good as a hole flute blown in a spring night:
"The eldest brother praised it falsely, in fact, this song is lyrical through the scene, saying that the evening breeze is ruthless and implies a sad mood. Then he expressed his heart directly, but he fell into contemplation and imagination, hazy and repeated. ”
"After getting rid of the fame and struggle of officialdom, open-mindedness and helplessness, reality and memory, love and hate are constantly intertwined and entangled......"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
