"If we met six years ago, then you must know why I was in a hurry to see Yunchen." The sentence of Wei Nong is a rhetorical question and an answer.

Her eyes shimmered in the night, like a touch of moonlight on the horizon. Qi Zhan saw the passage of six years from it, she was as upside down as his, the same ups and downs, the same ...... Reincarnate as a human being.

Qi Zhan was silent, and he didn't know how to answer in the face of her transparent words.

Wei Nong smiled: "We must have changed a lot." ”

Oh, yes! How can it not be changed? Six years has long since passed. Chu Li, the first day of the new year, and the Lantern Festival six years ago are all gone, and only the memories remain in the hearts of those who miss them.

"I guess you became famous at a young age, and you must have gone deep into the palace of Chu with your own will." A slight smile.

Qi Zhan still didn't answer.

"You must have been shocked when you saw me later, I didn't expect that I would change from the illegitimate daughter of King Yan to the daughter-in-law of King Yan." Wei Nong continued to take care of himself.

"You're smart, but you've been playing dumb." Qi Zhan suddenly had no head or tail.

"Aren't you too?" Wei Nong was still laughing, but the laughter was full of sighs: "You have been pretending to be brazen and profligate, but when you get to Lidu, you can't pretend anymore." ”

Hearing this, Qi Zhan didn't look at Weinong anymore, but looked at the night outside the window. The bright moon hangs high, but there is a night wind blowing dark clouds, so that the bright moon disappears from time to time, just like this vast and unknown future, more like this uncertain future.

"Do you really want to see Yunchen?" He heard himself say that.

"Well, I'm going to make sure of something." She heard herself reply.

"Actually, I checked, but he's not."

"What others say doesn't count, I'm going to see it myself."

"Okay," Qi Zhan finally agreed, "but you have to promise that you won't lose your temper and won't mess up my business." ”

"I do my best." Wei Nong didn't ask any more questions.

"The night is slightly thick, are we still friends?"

"Of course."

Qi Zhan sighed almost inaudibly: "I hope you will say this when you see Yunchen." ”

*****

Three days later, Wei Nong concealed Yingluo, and according to the address given by Qi Zhan, he came to a place called "Deer Garden". The deer park is located on the halfway mountainside of the suburbs of Lidu, covering a vast area, encircling the mountain for more than ten miles, and is very magnificently built. Carved beams and painted buildings, the scenery is open, there is even a blue lake chiseled in the park, surrounded by flying bridges on the far shore of the long wave, which is not an ordinary financial and manpower can be.

Moreover, there are two stone lions standing outside the gate of the garden next to it, but outside the gate of the deer garden, there are fierce and pixiu sitting in the town, faintly revealing the meaning of royal power. Wei Nong guessed in his heart that this should be the royal garden. Although she didn't know why Qi Zhan asked her to come here, she still generously handed over the waist card and strode in.

She was greeted by a respectful middle-aged man, without a beard, and his voice was so thin that he could guess his identity. He gave Wei Nong a set of palace clothes, told her not to move around at will, and said that Qi Zhan would come over later.

Wei Nong didn't want to ask too much, so he changed his clothes and sat idly in the room. She found that this dress looked like a palace maid, did Qi Zhan want her to dress up as a palace maid?

She waited for an hour with this question, and finally waited for Qi Zhan. To her great surprise, Qi Zhan no longer looked like himself, he no longer wore the simple and neat black clothes, but wore a dark brocade robe, the cuffs and corners of the robe were embroidered with gold thread, standing proudly above the sea of clouds.

When Wei Nong saw this pattern, he was shocked in his heart, and unconsciously asked: "......What is this?" Jiao? ”

Jiao, dragon genus. It's just that the dragon has two pairs of claws and five toes, and the Jiao has only one pair and four toes, and the tail of the Jiao is like a snake. But even so, this totem is not something that everyone can wear, only ......

Wei Nong looked at Qi Zhan in disbelief: "Are you the Ning royal family?" ”

Qi Zhan looked very calm: "Not before. ”

"Oh my God!" Wei Nong couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed: "You are the illegitimate son of King Ning?" ”

Qi Zhan sneered: "Don't put your experience on me. ”

"And who are you?" Wei Nong asked in disbelief: "Why did you go to Momen to be a killer?" Could it be that Momen is the confidant of the Ning royal family? ”

"It's a long story, so I'll tell you about it later." Qi Zhan looked out the door and sighed: "The banquet is about to start, let's go!" ”

Wei Nong had to gather his mind and follow him out, listening to him explain in his ear as he walked: "You are responsible for pouring wine for me tonight, you have seen this kind of occasion before, you must know what to do." ”

"I understand." Wei Nong immediately responded.

Qi Zhan didn't say anything more, pretended to pace leisurely, and walked towards the banquet hall. Wei Nong cautiously followed behind him, and his heart became more and more nervous. It wasn't until the moment when the two of them were about to enter the banquet hall that Qi Zhan suddenly stopped and asked Wei Nong: "Do you really still regard me as a friend?" ”

Wei Nong nodded, and hesitated to add: "As long as the dispute between the family and the country is thrown away." ”

Qi Zhan smiled bitterly, and then stepped straight in. When the door of the palace opened, only one eunuch shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness Wang Sun has arrived!" ”

His Royal Highness Wang Sun...... Wei Nong couldn't help but pause, but his heart was already able to accept it calmly. It seems that Qi Zhan is the only heir left by the late crown prince of Ning Kingdom!

She walked in slowly with Qi Zhan, watched him walk up to the Danqi and sit on the main seat, and saw that on both sides of his hands were lined up in turn, sitting Shen Jue, Yunchen, and many other characters she didn't know. Each of them stood with their heads bowed and solemn, and they must all be important ministers of the court.

"Today is a private banquet, you don't have to be polite, sit down." Qi Zhan said this very casually and lazily. But Wei Nong knew that he was completely different from before, in the past he was really profligate, but now it was just a disguise.

Wei Nong stood behind him, looking up at the top of the main hall. At this moment, she had thousands of questions in her heart and wanted to go to Qi Zhan for verification, but all of them were no match for the most important person, Yunchen.

From afar, she saw the white-clothed figure sit down, with a slight smile on his quiet face, as if at odds with the hypocritical and staggered atmosphere. He is still so calm and safe, looking at it from a distance, he is no different from Chu Li's appearance at all, the same body shape and silhouette, the same makes her heart palpitate and heartache.

She couldn't believe that he would be the scheming and ambitious person in Qi Zhan and Shen Jue's mouths. Obviously, Yunchen had already seen her at this time, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and he immediately turned his gaze away.

Wei Nong had a kind of weakness that had been investigated, so he hurriedly moved his gaze away, and then looked at Shen Jue, which happened to collide with his gaze. Shen Jue's face was even more embarrassed, as if he was reprimanding her for her ungiving spirit and her self-assertion.

Wei Nong thought back at this moment, the words that Shen Jue said a few days ago really had deep meaning. She became friends with the prince and grandson of Ningguo, and persistently pursued Yunchen's identity, which doomed her to fall into the quagmire of Ningguo's political situation, which was contrary to her original intention of staying away from the court.

But Cang Tian made her recognize Qi Zhan and let her meet Yunchen, and she had no choice.

After being so distracted for a long time, Wei Nong didn't hear what Qi Zhan said just now, only to see him suddenly get up, pick up the wine glass and walk towards the Danqi. Then she suddenly remembered her duty tonight - to serve wine! So he hurriedly picked up the wine cup, learned the posture of the palace maids in the past, and followed behind Qi Zhan step by step.

Whoever he respected, she poured a full cup, and thus met several important members of the Ning State court. The most ironic thing is that the first one is Yunchen's own grandfather Chun Yuye! She tried to see a little bit of blood in the face of the prime minister of the dynasty, so that she could convince herself that it was all just a coincidence. But she was disappointed to find that Chun Yuye had passed the age of ear shun, and on his goosebumpy face, there was no resemblance to Yunchen at all!

She followed Qi Zhan and toasted a few more glasses of wine, and the two walked to Shen Jue's position. Qi Zhan seemed to have a lot of respect for Shen Jue, and he was very modest in his words. Slightly weak, he didn't dare to look up, looked at his nose and nose, and blindly lowered his head to pour wine, and kept to himself.

It seems that Qi Zhan has made up his mind to salute everyone. Wei Nong followed him all the way, and finally walked to Yunchen's desk. She sneaked a glance from behind Qi Zhan, and saw that Yunchen was smiling lightly and humbly, and calmly raised her glass and got up.

"The day before yesterday, in the holy study, Lihou had a high-minded talk, which really benefited Zhan a lot. Grandfather Wang has also mentioned your talent many times. Qi Zhan was polite and authentic.

"His Royal Highness Wang Sun has been promoted, and Weichen is ashamed." Yunchen replied modestly.

"In the future, Zhan Shao must ask Lihou for advice, this cup, Zhan will do it first as a respect." Qi Zhan said with a smile, and drank it all in one cup.

His words were very decent, and they didn't seem to be the words that "Qi Zhan" could say at all. But Wei Nong still wanted to remind him that "talking high" is not a good word.

However, Yunchen obviously didn't care, and replied with a light smile: "Your Highness is really tormenting Weichen." In the future, if there is a place where Wechen can help, it will be for you to drive, and everything will follow. ”

Yunchen finished speaking unhurriedly, and drank it all. Wei Nong noticed that he was holding the cup with his right hand, while his left hand hung down at his side from beginning to end, and he didn't move. This is not a respectful gesture, at least in front of Wang Sun, holding the cup in both hands is a thoughtful courtesy. Could it be that there is something wrong with Yunchen's left hand?

Wei Nong was thinking about it, but when he heard Qi Zhan, he had already laughed back intentionally or unintentionally: "Since Lihou said this, Zhan Ke can rest assured, otherwise I'm really afraid that Uncle Wei Hou will be unhappy." ”

Yunchen's face remained unchanged, and he returned the salute without saying more.

Hearing this, Wei Nong also understood that the two had already matched. Qi Zhan's "high-minded talk" is not a gaffe at all, but sarcasm! She didn't know what had happened between them, but thinking that Qi Zhan appeared in the sky, he must be a strong contender for the position of prince, but listening to what Qi Zhan said, Yunchen supported Wei Hou......

What about Shen Jue? Which side is he on? Tonight's "private banquet", what is Qi Zhan's idea? Is it a demonstration? Is it temptation? Or win hearts and minds?
