Chapter Twenty-Four: Aftersteps

Yan Feng has a wine jug hidden in his arms, Qianyu is the mastermind, Fuyu is still timid, Changfeng is strong and not exposed, and he is not surprised, Ouyang Yu has finished his analysis.

"Queen Mother, if we tell you, we won't call it a secret meal" Yan Feng hurriedly pulled Ouyang Yu to sit down.

"The queen mother can tell you that you are not allowed to drink" Ouyang Yu reached out and took out a wine glass from Yan Feng's arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Got it, Queen Mother" Qianyu, Yan Feng and Fuyu replied in unison, and Yan Feng handed Ouyang Yu a wine glass.

In fact, he didn't know, just now, Ouyang Yu drank a few more glasses of wine at the New Year's Eve banquet, and now he is a little drunk, and it will not be good to drink it again.

Ouyang Yu was full of worries, and he had no sense of proportion in drinking, he poured wine silently, Yan Feng and Qianyu were all the same, it was the first time they had seen their mother like this, it seemed that they had a grudge against wine, Yan Feng looked at the wine jug that was half-drunk by Ouyang Yu, and shook his head, he didn't intend to stop Ouyang Yu, and he couldn't stop it with his limited ability.

Qianyu was quite worried, and secretly mixed some water into the wine jug, Ouyang Yu, who was already completely drunk, didn't drink it at all, but as she drank it, her eyes began to redden, her brows were deeply locked, and all her thoughts were written on her face.

"Mother, are you alright? Did your father bully you? Qianyu stroked her face, which was flushed from drinking, and was very worried.

"Yan Feng, Changfeng, Fuyu, can you go outside first? The queen mother wanted to say to Qianyu, "Ouyang Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and pulled Qianyu in his arms.

After Yan Feng and Changfeng went out, Ouyang Yu's tears finally welled up in an instant, she hugged Qianyu tightly, and couldn't say anything.

"Queen Mother..."Qianyu was deeply immersed in Ouyang Yu's arms, her head resting on her shoulder, feeling that the Queen Mother was crying, she patted her on the back.

"Born with a precious life, where is the emperor's family? Born with thin paper, where to marry the emperor? Ouyang Yu muttered a few words in a low voice that a thousand words could not understand.

"One life and one sorrow, half life, half dream, half flashy, golden hooks, jade and silver candles crying, colorful clothes and phoenix crowns are sad" Ouyang Yu's words still rang in her ears, she still couldn't understand it, but she remembered it.

"If love is like flowing water, why invite each other, if there is no one in life, why take the emperor's heart in vain?" This was the last sentence that Ouyang Yu said in Qianyu's ear, and after speaking, she was drunk.

Changfeng, who had been outside the door, saw a light in the distance approaching the Zhilan Palace, thinking about who it would be at this hour? Yan Feng glanced at him, and hurriedly went to the door to check, it would not be good if others saw Ouyang Yu's appearance, after all, she was the queen's mother.

The lights are getting closer and closer, and they have entered the Zhilan Palace, and the footsteps are getting closer and closer, after the person entered the Zhilan Palace, he put down the lantern in his hand, and saw the person clearly, Changfeng and Yan Feng were surprised, it turned out to be Gongsun Yuting, and the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Carrying a large box lunch, Gongsun Yuting walked on the corridor, the palace lamp reflected his cold outline, it seemed that he had something on his mind like Ouyang Yu, and he didn't even notice that Changfeng and Yan Feng were standing at the door.

During the New Year's Eve banquet, the queen mother actually left the banquet without authorization, and she didn't tell herself, without her permission, it was really unusual, the more Gongsun Yuting thought about it, the more angry she became, tonight was New Year's Eve, and such an important banquet dared to be willful.

"Father, why are you here too?" Gongsun Yuting, who came in, passed by Yan Feng, and he called Gongsun Yuting in time.

"New Year's gift" Gongsun Yuting pointed to the box in his hand, and then looked at Changfeng, Yan Feng immediately understood.

"Changfeng Xie Wangshang" Changfeng took the box in his hand, it was heavy, and there were a lot of things.

"No need, you must open your mouth if you need anything in the future, you have to be more careful, this king will go back first" Gongsun Yuting finished sending things, and planned to go back, but he was worried about it, and he didn't have a lot of worries.

"Changfeng sends off the king" Mu Changfeng and Yan Feng saluted together to send Gongsun Yuting.

"Father, aren't you here to pick up your mother? I thought..."Yan Feng asked in a low voice, Gongsun Yuting immediately turned to look at Yan Zi, he said Ouyang Yu is here?

Gongsun Yuting turned his head and looked at Yan Feng with an appreciative gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched evilly, Yan Feng shook his body in fright, and took a few steps back.

"Yan Feng, come to the imperial study to accompany my father more in the future, don't delay your homework" Gongsun Yuting dropped this sentence and went into the house, Yan Feng heard him say this, his face changed greatly, but Changfeng could only pat him on the shoulder, and after a while, Qianyu also came out, and after a while, Gongsun Yuting hugged Ouyang Yu and left.

Then, the guests of Zhilan Hall came and went in a hurry, and only the four of them were left, and since just now, Fuyu has been hiding behind Changfeng, and she doesn't know what she is afraid of.

Later, every time Yan Feng thought of this, he felt very sorry for Ouyang Yu, I heard that his father punished his mother harshly, although he didn't know how harsh the punishment was, but it was scary to think about, it was a kind of criminal law that made people unable to get out of bed for three days!

In the blink of an eye, the cold winter is getting farther away, the warm spring returns to the ground, the long wind vaguely remembers the splendid appearance of the plum blossoms in the yard, Qianyu coveted the plum blossoms in this place, moved back and lived for more than a month, as if getting along day and night, I heard that the plum tree in that yard was specially transplanted by Gongsun Yuting for Ouyang Yu, and then it was not removed, which made Qianyu have some concern, because she loved the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

Changfeng's impression has never seen plum blossoms, I don't know that this kind of flower blooming in the cold snow actually has a faint cold fragrance, even if the winter has passed, the yard can occasionally smell bursts of cold fragrance, Changfeng's time is very sufficient, every day with a thousand words to practice, in addition to archery, he is very interested in other weapons, and can quickly master.

The weather in Chu is different from that in the south, Chu is only warm now, in the south, this spring season has long passed, and in the past few months, the long wind has slowly adapted.

This day is the day of the Qianyu and Changfeng riding competition, Yan Feng and Fuyu have already gone to the riding ground behind the palace to wait, but Changfeng has run a few laps to warm up, she has not come yet, and she doesn't know what happened, she is usually quite punctual.

While the three of them were waiting for a thousand words in the riding field, she eavesdropped on the conversation between Ouyang Yu and Gongsun Yuting in the palace, it turned out that the five kings of Wu would arrive in the palace today, because they were secretly traveling, so they didn't know anything, Gongsun Yuting was discussing this matter with Ouyang Yu, Gongsun Yuting said that Concubine Hui was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to worry about it, so he asked Ouyang Yu to arrange a late Yan to catch the wind.

Gongsun Yuting felt a cold murderous aura when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Ouyang Yu's eyes during the whole conversation.

Speaking of Concubine Hui's pregnancy, can you blame others? Ouyang Yu sneered, she vaguely remembered the kind of provocative look of that woman at that time, it was really amazing, no wonder people have been shaking in front of their eyes intentionally or unintentionally in the past few months, this belly is not big, if one day you see a few palace ladies supporting the pot-bellied concubine Hui to visit Jingrui Palace, she will not feel strange, she has often come to Jingrui Palace to enjoy the flowers in these months, Gongsun Yuting said that there is no Xuanzhi grass in her palace.

"If I knew that your vinegar was so strong, I would never touch her" This is what Gongsun Yuting said to Ouyang Yu on New Year's Eve, Ouyang Yu every time he thought of this sentence, he had a sweet feeling in his heart, until Concubine Hui's belly became bigger and bigger day by day, this sentence became like poison, and every time I thought of it, my heart ached faintly.

"How did I know that she was pregnant as soon as she touched it, I remember that you were only at night and night..." This was what Gongsun Yuting said halfway through, because before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yu turned his head and left.

Qianyu has been hiding aside and eavesdropping, although I don't know what it means to be pregnant, let alone what Spring Festival is, but it is certain that there are guests in the palace today, Qianyu is thinking about how to meet this prince of Wu, and completely forgot about riding with Changfeng.

"What a merry man who doesn't understand women, what does it mean to get pregnant when you touch it?" Ouyang Yu walked around Jingrui Palace angrily, she never meant to let Gongsun Yuting not touch other concubines, but... But when he said something like that, how could he keep people from going to their hearts? In other words, he said in front of other concubines that he would never touch Ouyang Yu, could he have two children? No one has the right to interfere with what he wants to do, she Ouyang Yu is by no means the kind of unreasonable and vicious woman, but why would he say that kind of thing?

Due to the arrival of Prince Wu, Ouyang Yu had to sort out his mood and prepare to pick up Feng Yan, but Gongsun Yuting didn't know where to go, he didn't have to think about it, he must be in the palace of Concubine Hui who was pregnant with the prince, he had been eating there every day recently, Ouyang Yu sighed, thinking about it, this is also his responsibility as a father.

Qianyu, who was dressed in men's clothes, swaggered around the palaces, but she didn't know that there were three little fools waiting for her in the riding field.

Qianyu was practicing, suddenly, a sword swung out of nowhere stabbed at her, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, jumped overhead, and almost didn't stand on her feet when she landed, Qianyu turned her head and glared at the owner of the sword.

The starry eyes are dark, the sword eyebrows are picturesque, the silhouette is carved, the thin lips are lightly raised, the heroism of the young man is unobstructed, Qianyu can't remember what kind of person this is, I haven't seen it in the palace, but looking at his outfit, it is not the costume of the Chu State, is this young man the prince?

Qianyuzi carefully and carefully, up and down, back and forth, looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and suddenly felt that in addition to the different clothes, they were no different from Yan Feng! Why did the father and the queen mother quarrel over this? I really don't understand.

"Excuse me, have you seen enough?" The young man was a little embarrassed by Qianyu, neatly withdrew the sword in his hand, and looked at Qianyu with a bright smile.
