Li Xuan was stunned for a while, speechless, and Long Xiao, who was sitting on the side, laughed and said: "Today, Princess Xuan really opened my eyes, first with King Xuan's light skills, and then with a heartfelt remark about the country's fortunes, this eclectic temperament is really different from most women." ”

At the end, he didn't forget to add: "It seems that I have to think carefully about cutting King Xuan's money." ”

The meaning of Long Xiao's words is unclear, it sounds like he is praising me, but I haven't learned how powerful he is, so I only drank a few sips of hot tea and kept silent.

There is no wine in the mountains and seas, Long Xiao doesn't care, he caress the water a few times with the tea lid in one hand, and the disciples give birth to a suave romance, Li Xuan picked up the smooth white porcelain bowl and gave me a bowl of thick soup, and said gently: "If you can't eat it, drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body, this soup is boiled according to the method said by the imperial doctor, it is very nourishing, and it has great benefits for conditioning your body." "He didn't mind at all when I said he was extravagant.

I obediently picked up the soup spoon, scooped it and drank it, my brows furrowed, how much flavor medicine did the imperial doctor put into it, where is this soup, it is clearly medicine. Helplessly, he still tried to drink not a drop in Li Xuan's concerned eyes.

After putting down the empty bowl, I quickly picked up a piece of sweet cake and stuffed it into my mouth to relieve the bitter taste in my mouth, when a few wisps of joyful music came from the lake, the tune was very familiar, and the woman's singing voice was clear and moving, so I got up curiously and ran out of the cabin to see what was going on.

It turned out that not far from the ship I was in, there was a much larger and more brilliant ship, and I craned my neck to look, and vaguely saw a few men in the cabin drinking and talking, and a slender woman with her back to me and gracefully stroking the harp, I think it should be this woman in red who should be singing.

I pricked up my ears to listen, and I could hear a few sentences, and the tone was indeed soft, and the words composed were beautiful, not like they were in the world.

I asked Li Xuan happily: "I'll go and ask that girl to come over and sing a song, okay?" With such a soft and good voice, Li Xuan must be reluctant to refuse.

Sure enough, he smiled and said, "Go ahead, such a song is hard to come by, and it's rare to miss it." ”

I knew that he was a man of knowledge, and I flew up, and the cold wind on the lake was slow, and I shivered, and my toes touched the water, and I turned around beautifully and then floated down, right on the surface of the big boat. When he turned around again, he happened to meet Li Xuan's approving gaze, and he was more confident.

The people in the cabin didn't seem to notice me as an uninvited guest, and I followed the song, not the slightest bit embarrassed, but because of the familiar tune.

Long Xiao looked at my distant figure and expressed the doubts in her heart: "Xuan, I still can't figure out why Qin Cheng only taught her light skills, her bones are clear, she has not passed the double ten, and the cultivation of light skills is no longer under you and me, it is enough to see that it is material for practicing martial arts." ”

Could it be that Qin Cheng had already left a way back for her, so he was so relieved? But as far as I know, Qin Cheng didn't intend to hand over the position of city lord to her from the beginning. "The throne and I have always been a thorn in his heart, and it has been in his bones for many years, and it is difficult to pull it out.

Li Xuan was still boiling tea, and his dark eyes stared at the bubbling boiling water in the tea vessel: "Xiao, the first emperor has passed the throne to you, and the ownership of imperial power is already a foregone conclusion, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." What's more, Qin Cheng is dead, and she is already my wife, no one can threaten you anymore. ”

Long Xiao couldn't help laughing at herself: "Why is my father willing to let me be the emperor, I don't know?" Then again, aren't you protecting her? No matter who marries her, I won't let her go so easily, but you, my only confidant and friend, tell me to touch her. Xuan, what do you like about her? There are many beautiful women, and there are really not many who are as incomprehensible as her. ”

Li Xuan smiled, smiling so beautifully, and the tea mist made his face even more handsome and flawless: "She has her own extraordinary talent, she doesn't cater to anyone with a smile, she only pleases herself in this world, this is her heart." ”

Long Xiao didn't care: "How long do you want to indulge her so willful?" A princess is not fortunate to have such a simple heart. She's the least suitable woman to stand side by side with you. ”

Li Xuan took a sip of tea, and his words were meaningful: "There is only one reason why she cares so much about the singing of that singer, you may not know, but I will not know?" This is the tune of Qinzhou. ”

Long Xiao's eyes were cold for no reason: "It's just at this time." ”

"If my guess is correct, the person sitting in the cabin is a well-known figure, but I don't know, what is he doing in the capital?" Li Xuan said as he sipped his tea slightly.

I crept close to the cabin, hiding in an inconspicuous corner, feeling strange to myself, how could there be no one guarding this ship, and if an assassin assassinated or something, wouldn't the people inside die instantly?

Looking through the gap in the cabin, we saw that the singer was veiled with a fiery red veil, vaguely outlining her delicate eyebrows, adding a layer of hazy beauty that evoked reverie.

After the song, one of them took the lead in clapping his hands and said: "Miss Shenyu's piano sound is beautiful, and her singing voice is even better. ”

This man surnamed Chen is very generous, he should be an elegant person, and the girl with a delicate posture and a clear voice turned out to be the singer Shen Yu who was just popular in Xihualou.

Shenyu is one of the best red card girls in the capital, there are countless men who worship under her skirt, there is no shortage of famous nobles, and this woman is also a person in love, although she is famous, but she only receives guests who can see it, so many people spend a lot of money, just to see the true face of Shenyu girl.

"I wonder if she herself is more beautiful than rumored?" My thoughts drifted away, and before I knew it, I was speaking what was on my mind.

"Who's eavesdropping?" A person was alert, came with a sword, I didn't make a sound, a cold sword has hit in front of me, only an inch to cut my throat, I was startled, subconsciously flashed, who knew that the sword was faster than me, the blade was cold, and it slashed at my waist and abdomen.

"Qin Xi——" Someone called my name, shouting very affectionately, as if they had to be separated after knowing me for a long time, and reunited in a foreign place, but fortunately, as soon as he shouted, this person stopped attacking me.

I just have time to see who is going to kill me, the man with the sword is burly, tall and mighty, with a fierce face, but after seeing me, he showed respect, just now he spared no effort to kill me, now he knows who I am, but he has no intention of killing, but unfortunately I have no impression of this person at all.

After such a fuss, several men in the cabin came out, and I couldn't help but be surprised when I looked closely. Chen Mo, the boss of Tianbao Zhai, bowed to me in a green robe, while Chu Hong had a gentle face, just as humble and polite as he used to be, but how could I forget that it was such a seemingly harmless person who killed Xiao Ye with a trick.

The ancients said well, people can't look good, especially a person like Chu Hong who endures humiliation and covets power, I can't underestimate him.

And the man standing behind the two of them, hidden in the shadows, was the one who had just called me affectionately, and he stared at my face from beginning to end, his gaze was as sharp as a goshawk, but when it fell on me, it was like a gentle breeze in the valley.

He walked towards me, tall and handsome, just like that, but he gave people a strong sense of oppression, which made it impossible to ignore, and this man seemed to have a natural power to surrender.

When I saw his handsome face, I couldn't take my eyes off it for a while, Li Xuan was dangling in front of my eyes every day, and I didn't lose my temper like this at this time.

His eyes were shining with emotions that I couldn't read: "Princess Xuan came to visit late at night, what happened?" ”

He knew my name, but he still opened his mouth to call me Princess Xuan, I didn't know why I was a little lost in my heart, Chen Mo stood up and made a peacemaker: "Princess, my three friends got together in Yanbo Lake, and they drank and enjoyed each other under the moon, this son is not from the capital, so I specially invited Miss Shenyu to enjoy her face, and the princess wants to join me?" ”

Chen Mo has always spoken well, giving others enough face, I can't refuse him, but I am a little unhappy with Chu Hong, I don't want to stay, but I still explain my intention: "Boss Chen, I came for the singing voice of the Shenyu girl, and I just heard this girl's voice on the boat is really moving, so I also want to invite the Shenyu girl to sing a song on my boat." ”

Thinking of the rules of Shenyu, I didn't forget to add: "Naturally, it depends on whether the girl is willing, and I will never force it." ”

I thought that Chen Mo's face would be a little unpleasant, after all, he rarely invited friends, but I wanted to come and rob him of people.

Chen Mo only said: "Bosom friend is hard to find, since the princess likes the voice of the girl who sinks the fish, I Chen will not brush the princess's affection, but if the girl is willing, Chen will not stop it." ”

He is really a very temperamental and empathetic person, and the next thing to look at is the meaning of Shen Yu.

Shen Yu stood proudly, her eyes swept me very lightly, as if she was looking at me, but not as if she was looking at me, her lips opened lightly: "Dare to ask the princess, is King Xuan in that boat?" She raised her hand lightly and pointed to the wooden boat where Li Xuan was.

I replied truthfully: "The girl thinks well, King Xuan is walking with me." ”

She added, "If I perform, how does the princess plan to reward me?" ”

Shen Yu made a living in exchange for remuneration, and it was reasonable for me to think about whether giving silver would humiliate such a chic woman, so she simply said: "The princess doesn't have to be embarrassed, Shen Yu offered a hundred taels of gold." ”

When she mentioned the hundred taels of gold, there seemed to be a subtle hint of resentment in her voice.

This amount happened to be my bounty for winning the first place in the Lantern Festival, which had some significance, but no matter how much silver was there, it was a thing outside my body, but it was a way to make a living for the sinking fish, so I agreed: "Just according to what the girl said." ”

I thanked Chen Mo, but I never glanced at Chu Hong, I just met him in Pingshui, I was looking forward to it too much.

Shen Yu Lian moved lightly, wanting to go with me, I hurriedly said: "Shen Yu girl, slow down, this is still some distance from my boat, the lake is empty, it is better to wait for the two boats to get closer——"

"The princess is too worried, this distance is still difficult for me." I knew that she also had martial arts, and she was not an ordinary singer.

I stepped on the water with two figures, one red and one white, and got on Li Xuan's boat before and after, and when I boarded the boat, I noticed that the bottom of Shen Yu's embroidered shoes was wet, but it did not damage her elegant temperament at all.

"Sinking Fish Girl, please." I took the sinking fish into the cabin, Li Xuan raised his head, his shallow gaze stayed on the sinking fish for a while, and then turned to the person outside and said softly: "Go and get the cold jade." ”

I smiled and said, "You are good at everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't have any knowledge of this." ”

Soon, a maidservant respectfully presented the guqin and placed it on a few cases in the middle of the cabin, I stood on one side, looked sideways and watched the sinking fish fall and knelt generously on the warm cushion, she stroked the long strings with her bare hands, and simply tried a few notes, her ten fingers were slender and clean, her fingertips were moist, and her eyes were soft and charming, sliding over the faces of Li Xuan and Long Xiao, which could be described as tender, as bright as the autumn moon.

The sound of the piano is smart and clear, flowing out from her fingers like a mountain stream, her singing voice is clear, making people's hearts calm like water, temporarily forgetting all mundane things, and the mood is moved by the singing, forgetting where she is for a while.
