Chapter 5 Qingteng Sujian returned in the middle of the night
In the huge princess mansion of Qi State, there are only two people in the main hall, Dongfang Mu and King Ming, and there are a few hot teas on the case. King Ming once again tested Dongfang Mu's true nature, whether he was vulnerable to acting on the spot, or whether he was sincere and sincere. King Ming knew in his heart that this game was destined to be unfair from the beginning, after all, the marriage was facilitated by the Donglin Force, and the success or failure of the Qi Kingdom did not care.
"I'm afraid King Ming has misunderstood." Dongfang Mu put down the tea in his hand and looked at King Ming firmly, "It's you and I who are mutually beneficial." β
"This king only knows that the princess is married far away, and he should regard me as the only person, but you are willing to be a princess in name only?" King Ming doesn't know if what Dongfang Mu said is true or not, maybe this is her own means.
"Your heart is not mine, my heart is not yours. Why force it? It should have been such a helpless word, but Dongfang Mu said it lightly, with a shallow smile, as if each other's hearts were no longer important.
"Okay," King Ming was happy to be able to continue to be with Feng Ling'er, but it was mixed with a faint sentimentality, as if King Ming himself didn't know why, "That's the case, this king answered." β
"Thank you King Ming" Dongfang Mu served tea with both hands, so handsome, but there was a bit of heroism in his demeanor.
As far as Dongfang Mu is concerned, as long as King Ming can maintain the marriage between the two countries and not cause chaos, it is enough.
King Ming took the tea, drank it all, and then got up and left.
"Cold!" King Ming walked to the door, "Go home." β
"No." Hantian immediately led the horse over, vaguely feeling the displeasure of King Ming, but seeing King Ming smiling paradoxically, he couldn't figure out what the princess said to King Ming, which could make him so sad and joyful.
General Wei Chi followed closely and left with him.

γMidnight, Final West Pavilionγ
Qi is in the middle, also in the west, the southwest is adjacent to Nanming, with Wuhuan Mountain as the boundary, and the top of Wuhuan is the final West Pavilion.
It is a cold cliff on the top of the clouds, and it is a cloud covering the fog barrier, stepping in the period, when it is like Feng Xuan resisting the wind, ethereal, startling pieces of residual clouds.
Even if it is on the outskirts of the two countries, Wuhuan Mountain is owned by the Qi State, which is the western border of the Qi State, and the Zhongxi Pavilion is naturally no exception. Many Qi people take Wuhuan Mountain as their spiritual sustenance, and the world has clouds:
"Qi is the world, and it is true that it is from the witch ring. If the sky is revealed, the end of the peace is called the east. β
The words of the people show the fame of the West Pavilion. Pavilion master Bingxi, often dressed in white, is really an indifferent person, but he calls himself a "layman", just because the world is rumored to be pure-hearted and has few desires, and even has a white coat for him has not been stained with vulgar dust, which makes Bingxi really distressed, but he doesn't know how to justify that he is not desireless, he is not a monk.
It was the middle of the night, and he still hadn't seen the green vine, so he was displeased, so he sent someone to look for it, "No shadow, go and find the green vine quickly." β
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Wuying didn't know how many times she had gone to look for green vines, she always came back so late for some reason, and every time she picked herbs, it was like a trip.
At this moment, Qing Teng dragged his tired body, as well as a basket full of herbs, and his white clothes were also stained with mud, and walked into the Zhongxi Pavilion, and felt her presence for a while, so he said to Wuying, "No need, she's back." β
"Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master..."Qingteng shouted as soon as he walked into the door, his voice a little weak.
Hearing her shouting weakly, Bingxi hurriedly strode out of the Xitang Hall, looked carefully, and found that there were no symptoms, except for the earthy smell of her plain white clothes.
Seeing this, Qing Teng hurriedly explained, "Ah no, no, I'm not injured. He kept waving his hands.
"And what are you shouting?" Wuying is always arguing with Qingteng, as if he wants to take the opportunity to win Yicheng.
"I mean, I'm back, I'm so tired." Qingteng replied, and after speaking, he took down the back basket, stuffed it into Wuying's hand, and ran away while he was in a panic, as if he had completely forgotten that Bingxi was still beside him.
"Green Ivy." Bingxi called out with a little seriousness.
"Pavilion master, I know my mistake," Qingteng seemed to realize that he had returned in the middle of the night, and everyone was worried, in order to avoid everyone being forced to ask, he immediately confessed his whereabouts, "I delayed today to wait and see King Ming to welcome his relatives, this is a mistake; Lu encountered mountain bandits who robbed money and poisoned them, which is two mistakes; Frightened the Pavilion Master and Senior Brother, this... β
"Wait," Bingxi interrupted Qing Teng, his expression solemn, "Mountain bandits? Are you saying that there are mountain bandits in Wuhuan Mountain? β
Qingteng was suddenly annoyed by what Fang Cai said, Wuhuan Mountain is outstanding, and the fairy mist is shrouded. Regardless of officials and bandits, monks and laymen, everyone admires this place, how can there be bandits. In this way, I am afraid that I can't hide the fact that I ran to Yinfeng Mountain.
"Pavilion master, Qingteng knows his mistakes, I will recruit them all."
"No need, day after day, I'm tired of hearing about your travels." Bingxi already complained about Qingteng's words, as long as Qingteng was able to go out, he must have gone to some unexpected places and done something that maybe he shouldn't have done.
After saying that, Bingxi walked straight to the Xitang Hall and said no more.
"Pavilion Master? Pavilion Master! Qingteng followed behind, unable to catch up with Bingxi. muttered in a low voice, "Looks like I did too much today?" β
Hearing it without a shadow on the side, he was very helpless to Qingteng, so he told her, "The pavilion master is angry with you, it's not your fault today." Now that you have become a habit to admit your mistakes, it is natural not to change, and so on, beware that one day the pavilion master will abandon you. β
Qing Teng thought thoughtfully, "Thank you." β
She didn't want to stay here with Wuying, so she said, "Senior brother, come and see what medicine I took today." β
Wuying loved this little sister in every way, and after a while, what had just happened disappeared, so he went with her.
...
[At this time, the Ming Palace]
"Your Highness, you can't drink anymore" Han Tian looked at King Ming, who was sitting on the roof and couldn't finish drinking, and didn't know what to do.
"Cold, you come up." King Ming still seems to be somewhat conscious.
"No." Jumping up on a cold day.
"Sit down, this king has something in his heart, but no one speaks." King Ming said and lay down, and there were stars in front of him, but he didn't know how far away.
Sitting on the eaves in the cold weather, he seemed to see King Ming's thoughts, "My subordinates dare to ask, are you because of the princess?" β
"Yes and no," King Ming said, putting his hands behind his head, looking up at the starry sky, and continued, "Now that Ling'er is gone, the princess also has a good impression of me. β
"Your Highness, please forgive Han Tian for saying bluntly, Miss Ling'er left because she didn't know your mind, and the princess's affection is not important to you." Although Han Tian didn't say it, in his heart he felt that King Ming was asking for his own hardship, why get drunk every day, as long as King Ming was willing, fireworks and willows were obviously within reach.
"Ling'er doesn't know my heart, you know?" King Ming felt that the cold weather was not unreasonable, but he didn't know how to resolve his embarrassing situation.
Han Tian immediately knelt on one knee and clenched his fists to admit the punishment, "The subordinates have figured out His Highness's intentions without authorization, so they will go and receive the punishment." β
"There's no need to receive the punishment, I now order you to quickly bring someone back to Ling'er." Since Dongfang Mu promised to be with the person he liked, he couldn't afford to miss such a good opportunity.
"If Miss Ling'er refuses...?" Hantian asked.
"Don't you know the king's mind?" King Ming sat up, "Then pass it on to her." β
Seeing that King Ming was still making fun of what he had mistakenly used, Han Tian was ashamed, so he answered and led people to look for Ling'er overnight...
