Chapter 199: The Crown of Her Royal Highness the Princess
The crystal clear cherry blossom wine flows quietly in the white jade cup, the ivory and gold-inlaid jade chopsticks are placed on the right side of the Kingdee gold bowl, and the table runner of the luxurious brocade is draped with the pearl tassels that are glorious.
The pale pink cherry blossom liquor slowly pours down.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a gorgeous and radiant appearance, poured wine elegantly, and thousands of stars flowed in his starry eyes: "The last cup, after drinking this cup, you can't continue to drink." Although the cherry blossom wine is sweet and elegant, it has a long aftertaste, and if you drink too much in your current physical condition, it is tantamount to killing yourself. ”
"But I haven't drunk enough...... "The elegant fragrance of cherry blossoms soaked between his lips and teeth, and Nan Zui was reluctant to sip the cherry blossom wine in the white jade cup, his eyes were soft and pitiful.
"This is also for the sake of your body, life is not easy to come by, how can you abuse it at will?" Xu Shen poured all the remaining cherry blossom wine in the jade pot into the white jade cup, and drank it all with his head up.
The soft silk court-style nightdress lazily and loosely covered Nan Zuisheng's slender and slender body, and after she tasted the cherry blossom wine in the white jade cup, she reluctantly glanced at the empty jade pot:
"Oh well, I'm hungry. Since I was brought to Sakura Country by you, then I am a guest. I believe that Senior Xu, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a noble status, is a hungry little girl who will not be polite? And I've always been delicate and frail, and if the food is not right, I'm afraid that the imperial doctor in the palace will be afraid of me at every turn. ”
Scared......?
is really a smart and clever little girl.
The gorgeous and delicate cascading bow tie flowed with the light blue glow of the jewel, Xu Shen smiled faintly when he heard this, and sat upright on the couch and performed a standard court courtesy: "Obey your orders, my honorable ...... Her Royal Highness the Princess. Can you tell me what you'd like to eat for dinner? Then I will send them to prepare. ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......? Senior Xu, I found that since I came here, the title in your mouth is either Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess or Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you really gave me a distinguished honor without hesitation. Mo Yu's long hair swayed along the edge of the couch, and Nan Zuisheng put down the white jade cup in his hand and smiled lightly.
"With the identity of Miss Nan, the crown of Her Royal Highness Princess Xuanguo will fall on your head sooner or later, won't it?" The sapphire set in the bow tie was shining brightly, and Xu Shen raised his eyes and stared at Nan Zuisheng with a smile, and his words were meaningful.
Nan Zuisheng, who was carelessly playing with Mo Yu's long hair, suddenly froze when she heard the words, she looked at Xu Shen's gorgeous and graceful appearance, and slowly hooked the corners of her lips after being silent for a long time: "You are very smart, smart and scary." ”
The slender jade fingers are red and crispy, the long hair of the ink feather is entwined and slips from the fingertips, and Nan Zuisheng stares at the jade chopsticks and gold plates on the sandalwood low table, and his voice is ethereal and leisurely:
"Senior Xu is worthy of being the noble Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his ability to perceive the politics of Xuan Guo is really nuanced, and I am afraid that even the old ministers and emperors who have been in power for decades cannot reach it. But one thing I'm curious about is that the politics of Xuanguo are not yet in turmoil, how did you --- know that I would get the crown of Her Royal Highness the future Princess Xuanguo? ”
The glazed palace lamp was soaked in Xu Shen's gorgeous and noble face, and he stared at the classical beauty lying on the side brocade couch with a shallow smile, revealing the innate wisdom that belonged to the children of the royal family:
"Very simply, the Nan clan is an ancient family that has lived in the East for hundreds of years, with lush branches and leaves, like towering ancient trees that have not been covered by the forest. Needless to say, Miss Nanda's status is noble, and your parents and the clans of both sides are all high-ranking families in the Xuan country. ”
At this point, Xu Shen paused for a moment, and the pale red lip flaps were like finely carved jade cherry blossoms, reflecting the gorgeous and noble grace more and more radiant: "What's more, the president of Xuan is just a puppet without a soul, if it weren't for the support and support of several major families, he would have been overthrown and set up a long time ago." ”
"In name only, but that's it." The gorgeous and noble boy said nothing more than that.
Outside the window, the sky is getting late, and the lights of the Lotus Glass Palace are shining brightly. Hearing this, Nan Zuisheng glanced at Xu Shen with deep eyes, and said softly: "You are right, Xuan Guo seems to be politically stable and prosperous now, but it is just a calm before the storm, and sooner or later it will face a battle for the throne." ”
The bonsai of jade cherry blossoms was clearly reflected in her clear ink eyes, and she lowered her eyes and brushed the cherry blossom petals with a gloomy mood, and the slightly cool touch of jade slid through her fingertips: "Power, wealth, status, which one is not what the world has been chasing all his life?" Even if I am unwilling in every possible way, I cannot deny the miserable depravity after losing my power and wealth. ”
"Therefore, the Nan clan is destined to be swept into the whirlpool of election and seizure of the throne, I believe that many famous families in Xuan are aware of this, aren't they?" Xu Shen got up slowly and gracefully, and the delicate and gorgeous black tuxedo dress perfectly set off the slender and jade demeanor of the young man.
He stood up and stared condescendingly at the classical beauty lying on the brocade couch on his side, a ray of amazement crossed in his bright starry eyes, but he was more regretful: "Even if the Nan clan does not fight or grab, and the clans of both parents are willing to hide mediocrity, but the rest of the famous families in the Xuan Kingdom will not easily give up the opportunity to win you over." ”
The young man's voice was low and gorgeous, and he slowly analyzed the current political situation in Xuan's country in an orderly manner: "After all, the ancient family that has lived in the East for hundreds of years, its power and power are far ahead of those so-called famous families, and with the help of such a powerful family, who --- not be moved?" ”
The gorgeous and noble Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood in the glorious palace, and the majestic golden pillar of the coiling dragon and phoenix was reflected behind him, making him more and more extraordinary, not angry and self-prestigious, and surrounded by the dignity of the royal family.
"You're right, the Nan clan is destined not to retreat in the turmoil of seizing the throne in the future. You stare at me and can't hide your regret, are you pitying me, the eldest lady who can't be free in her future marriage? Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at Xu Shen, and stroked the fingertips of the jade cherry blossoms, which were as white as jade.
The delicate and soft eyebrows frowned slightly, and Xu Shen shook his head lightly when he heard this: "No, what I regret is not this, if the eldest lady insists on marrying freely, the elders of the Yinan clan will not be a problem at all to care for you." ”
"What's that? Except for my future marriage, I can't think of the regret in Senior Xu's eyes, why? The girl slowly withdrew her hand caressing the jade cherry blossom, and her voice was ethereal and leisurely. It sounds careless, but it's actually melancholy.
"It's nothing, the eldest lady will find out later." The corners of Xu Shen's lips are slightly hooked.
"It's not too early, the eldest lady hasn't told me yet, what do you want to eat for dinner?" He stood in front of Nan Zuisheng with one hand behind his back, and asked slowly in a very elegant and gorgeous voice.
The pink and white silk pajamas fell softly and softly to a corner, and the southern drunken jade fingers lightly hooked, covering all the moist snow skin that was half-hidden under the silk: "Bird's nest porridge, glutinous rice lotus, squirrel osmanthus fish, mushroom and bamboo shoots, chicken stewed mushrooms, stir-fried yam fungus: as well as Longjing crisp, cherry blossom cake, lotus cake, lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake, these desserts." ”
Before the words fell, she gracefully picked up an ivory gold-inlaid jade chopstick, and pointed behind Xu Shen through the sandalwood dwarf in front of her: "And the embroidered ...... on the screen behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince The phoenix seeks the phoenix. ”
is obviously such a gratuitous and unbridled and rude action, but when Nan Zuisheng's body is revealed, it does not make people feel disgusted and contemptuous, but is impregnated with innate nobility and dignity, as well as an elegant and natural beautiful posture.
It's really an indescribable charm, an inexplicable intoxication.
"Okay, Xu Shen wrote it down, the dishes and pastries that the eldest lady just said are easy to say, but the last sentence is a phoenix...... But I'm lonely. The gorgeous and graceful eyebrows frowned slightly, and Xu Shen glanced sideways at the embroidered phoenix screen, and it was difficult to hide his doubts in his eyes.
Phoenix?
As far as he knows, this is the period of ancient Oriental imperial power, symbolizing the emperor and queen tying the knot, and the deep love of the couple, and it is also a love affair that many literati and writers have lamented and praised throughout the ages.
But when it comes to meals...... It really made him helpless. Although there are many fantasy and profound foods in this world, the legendary phoenix and other mythical beasts have long disappeared and disappeared.
This is ridiculous.
The fragrant wood folding fan carved with cherry blossoms was fragrant, and Nan Zuisheng gently swayed the fragrant wood folding fan placed on the brocade couch, staring at Xu Shen with a smile: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be helpless, why, why don't you say that you will order the attendants to prepare?" Is it that difficult to make this dish? ”
"Don't make fun of me, just ask someone for advice, if the eldest lady needs anything, just tell these attendants." Xu Shen sighed lightly when he heard this, and his eyes were soaked with helpless tenderness.
At this point, he slapped his palm three times, and the attendants who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time suddenly rushed in.
The sapphire inlaid in the bow tie is more and more set off by the young man's extravagance, Xu Shen has a long jade body, and at the same time he commanded, his eyes swept around the attendant lightly: "This is Miss Nanda who was invited by the palace from Xuanguo, you have to do your best to serve on weekdays, if the palace finds out who is disrespectful......"
The gorgeous and bright eyebrows were raised slightly, and Xu Shen's eyes stared at the woman who was the leader of the attendants with deep and dark eyes: "This palace will kill her, and then kill you." ”
