The Queen Mother was very old, and she was a little tired after staying at the banquet for a while, and was helped back to the palace by the palace people to rest.

And Ling Botao didn't stay at the banquet for too long, drank a few glasses of wine and left, leaving the queen and a few concubines here.

As soon as the emperor and queen mother left, everyone was much less restrained, and the atmosphere was a lot more lively.

Ruan Tingge drank a few more glasses of wine, and was persuaded by Fang Jirou several times of complaining, so he could only put down the wine glass and sit there a little bored to eat.

The wine at the banquet was aged wine, and the stamina was not small, Ruan Tingge felt that his chest was a little hot after drinking a few glasses, and he couldn't help but feel that the hall was a little stuffy, so he went out to breathe.

As soon as I got out of the hall, I felt the coolness, the dew was heavier at night in early winter, and the cold moisture penetrated into the heart and lungs with the breath, which instantly made people feel a lot more sober.

Ruan Tingge wrapped his cloak tightly and walked in the garden.

Since the last time Zhong Lixuan was knocked unconscious in the palace, the security in the palace has been much tighter, and guards can be seen patrolling everywhere.

At today's banquet, there are teams of guards walking back and forth outside the hall from time to time.

There will also be a palace person standing more than a dozen steps away, and when he sees Ruan Qinge, he salutes one after another.

Ruan Tingge didn't want to see so many people dangling in front of his eyes, so he picked a slightly quieter place and walked over.

The garden outside the hall is not large, but the structure is quite exquisite, the path is tortuous, the green vines are lush, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

After turning a corner, Ruan Tingge's footsteps were stunned.

There was a person lying on the stone pier in front of him.

The light was dim, and Ruan Tingge didn't see the person's appearance clearly for a while, but found that he sat up and looked at Ruan Tingge.

"Smack!" With a slight noise, the man lit a fire and lit the oil lamp on the stone table.

At this time, Ruan Qinge saw the appearance of the man clearly, dressed in green clothes, with a handsome appearance, with a scattered look on his face, as if he was a little familiar.

The man also saw Ruan Qinge's face clearly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It turned out to be the county lord of Yun'an." ”

His voice was filled with some joy and surprise, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said with a smile on his face, "It's really Changfeng's honor to meet the county lord here. ”

"You are...," Ruan Tingge remembered, "we had a relationship in the Meng Mansion. ”

"Yes, yes, it's rare that the county lord still remembers it." The man in Tsing Yi smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said happily, "I haven't been introduced well last time, my surname is Mu, my character is Changfeng, and I am the sixth oldest in the family." ”

"You are the descendant of the Duke of Qin." Ruan Qinge's expression faded slightly, and it was not very obvious in the night.

Qin Guogong has a deep relationship with the Fenyang Palace, because Qin Guogong is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and he is also the younger brother of Mrs. Yide.

When the Mu family arrived in Mrs. Yide's generation, there were only two concubines and one concubine, and these two concubines married very well, which caused the only concubine to get a lot of light, and even became the uncle of the country and rewarded a hereditary title.

Qin Guogong relied on his sister to get such a high title, and he didn't have much talent. He is also quite self-aware, never participates in political affairs, is keen to marry wives and concubines, and has had many children. And his eldest son, the second Duke of Qin, was also influenced by many of his fathers and gave birth to more than ten sons and daughters, and this Mu Changfeng was the sixth son of the second Duke of Qin.

Except for the concubine of the long house, no one else can inherit the position of the Duke of Qin, and can only live on some shops and real estate, which is a little more difficult than the children of ordinary officials.

Ruan Tingge didn't cool down because of these reasons, but because he remembered some things in his previous life.

In the previous life, when the Fenyang Mansion fell, the Qin State Mansion didn't say that it would help, it simply hid far away, for fear of getting into any trouble, and never cared about any family affection at all.

"Speaking of which, the county lord and I can still be called brother and sister." Mu Changfeng laughed, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes were round like dogs, looking a little cute.

He patted the stone bench beside him very familiarly, "Would the county lord be willing to enjoy the moon and drink with Changfeng here?" ”

Ruan Qingge wanted to refuse directly, but when she saw Mu Changfeng's eyes shining in the dark, it seemed to have some vague expectation, so she couldn't bear it.

She glanced at the wine jug on the stone table, and the wine worm in her stomach was also hooked, so she nodded slowly, walked to the stone bench and sat down.

Mu Changfeng picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Ruan Xiange while saying, "This wine is not the kind of ordinary aging wine in the banquet, but a green bamboo wine that has been left for decades, with a light entrance but a mellow and strong aftertaste, which is very special." ”

"I just put it here and I don't want to drink it, I want to wait for the moon to come out from behind the clouds a little more, then pour myself a glass and have a drink to the moon."

Mu Changfeng talked about the energy of wine, just like a wicked man in the color seeing a beautiful woman, he was very energetic, and he couldn't be greedy.

After saying a few words, he suddenly reacted and said with some embarrassment, "But I don't know if the county lord likes to drink, if you don't like the taste, I'll let you change it to fruit wine..."

Ruan Tingge picked up the wine glass, sniffed it gently, and drank it in one gulp.

This wine is really as Mu Changfeng said, just in the mouth is as light as water, with a hint of green bamboo astringency, but after the wine enters the throat, the rich aroma suddenly appears, and the mellow aroma stimulates the entire mouth and taste buds, such a contrast is very special, unforgettable, and I want to drink another glass.

"Good wine." Ruan Tingge narrowed her eyes slightly with some enjoyment, which was a sign of her usual happy mood.

Mu Changfeng was a little embarrassed to see Ruan Tingge drink it all, he couldn't help laughing, he also picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass, closed his eyes and exhaled softly, opened his eyes and said to Ruan Tiange, "It turns out that the county lord is very used to this kind of taste. ”

He winked at Ruan Tingge, "It seems that we are fellow believers." ”

Seeing Mu Changfeng's undisguised flattery and frank and casual actions, the corners of Ruan Qinge's mouth curled, and he felt that this Mu Changfeng's personality was quite funny, and the disgust brought out by him before because of Qin Guogong had decreased a lot.

The two of you have a glass and I have a glass, and soon the wine in the jug will be at the bottom.

After drinking a pot of wine, both of them were a little drunk. Ruan Qinge only felt a little dizzy, while Mu Changfeng's face was already red, and his eyes were even brighter.

"Since the county lord loves to drink, I will send someone to bring you a few pots of good wine to taste tomorrow." Mu Changfeng said with some pride, "There are a lot of good wines hidden in my house, and there are a few that are even better than this pot of wine." ”

"It's a deal, you'll definitely bring me wine when the time comes." When Ruan Tingge heard that there was still good wine, he was a little hungry, and immediately agreed.
