Chapter 49: Conflict

When there were still three hours left for the dinner party to start, Qiushuang was checking whether there were any mistakes in the various processes, and suddenly a pink-dressed palace maid hurriedly ran over to her, and whispered in Qiushuang's ear: "Sister Qiushuang, you go to the front and take a look, some people say that the order of the seats you arranged is not right!" ”

"I'm not in the right order?!" Qiushuang frowned and said, "Who is that person and what did you say?" ”

When describing that person, the palace maid's face turned red, and she said a little shyly: "Well, it is a very handsome son, really handsome, although he is not as handsome as our emperor, but he is also a talent, which makes people unforgettable." In particular, the man's eyes, like the darkest stars in the sky, were bright and dazzling, carrying ......"

"Getting to the point!" Qiu Shuang really couldn't stand the palace maid's appearance and tone, so she interrupted her unhappily and said, "If you just want to express how handsome this person is, then the description of his appearance can be omitted!" ”

Someone broke her heart, the palace maid smiled, and then said cautiously: "Actually...... I don't know who he is. The dress is very simple, just a simple crescent-colored robe. But this man has an elegant temperament, talks well, and speaks slowly and logically, feeling like a scribe. ”

"Hmph, a lonely scribe dares to make irresponsible remarks about my arrangement!?" Qiu Shuang saw that everything was ready now, so she decided to meet this "insightful" scholar for a while to see what he could say!

Maybe it's because she's been too nervous lately, Qiu Shuang's nerves are very tight, and now a person suddenly appears to touch her bottom line, which makes all her suppressed anger come out, changing her usual gentle and empathetic appearance, more like a thug who is more ruthless than Dongxue.

"I heard, you're suspicious of my seat arrangement?"

Hearing the delicate voice, Qingfeng Gongzi turned around and looked at Qiushuang with a pair of smiling eyes. Although this person does have a good temperament, a tall figure, and a pair of black eyes are like two vortices that can attract people, but Qiu Shuang can see that this man's smile has not reached the bottom of his eyes. Qiushuang has never had a good impression of this kind of hypocritical man, so when she saw Qingfeng for the first time, her tone was not good, and her attitude was even worse.

Looking at Qiushuang up and down, although Qingfeng smiled lightly, the mean voice did not match his image at all, which made the little palace maid who had fantasies about him just now instantly shatter all expectations.

"You're the steward of this dinner? I really didn't expect such an important dinner party to come from a woman, so it's no wonder that there are these mistakes. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qiushuang raised her eyebrows, stared at Qingfeng in an unkind tone, and there was a murderous aura in her voice, "If you think we are not good enough, then criticism and correction are welcome." But if you're just looking for trouble, then we're sorry, we're too busy to play games with you! ”

Qiu Shuang's words were very unkind, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her also listened to what Qingfeng said just now, so naturally they didn't have a good face for him, everyone stood aside with the same hatred, looked at Qingfeng coldly, and waited for this guy to say anything disrespectful, so that they could throw him out together.

Qingfeng Gongzi smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, and his voice was indifferent, but the banter in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Words are so inferior, is this the hospitality of a great power?"

"What is hospitality? Of course, it is necessary to have guests to be worthy of our reception. But there are too many guys who fish in troubled waters, and they like to talk about two drops of ink in their chests, but when they ask for details, they prevaricate in every way. You are right, such a person, do you still need hospitality! Qiushuang said very politely, blaming the man in front of her every word, secretly thinking that if this man knew each other, he would leave by himself quickly, and not stay as an eyesore.

But it was clear that Qiushuang overestimated this man. Mr. Qingfeng not only had no intention of leaving, but looked at Qiushuang with interest, and said with his arms around his chest: "The kind of person the girl said is indeed very annoying. Obviously, he doesn't have enough knowledge, but he still has to take on heavy responsibilities, which is difficult for himself, and it also makes onlookers uncomfortable and unhappy. Kindly mentioned something, but it was regarded as a bad word, and he did not accept it humbly at all. Do you say that such a person is a swollen face and a fat person? ”

When Qiushuang heard this, she was so angry that she grinded her teeth. Of course, she could hear the man mocking herself, and if she had the time, she would definitely have to deal with him to see who was the one who was famous. But now that the times are very special, I still have a lot of things to personally supervise, and I don't have time to spend here, so I forcibly suppressed the anger in my heart and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you just say that there was a mistake in the sitting order? What went wrong, tell me straight. ”

"After going around in such a big circle, I'm finally willing to listen to other suggestions?" Mr. Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "According to Article 131 of the eighteenth volume of the Kyushu Chronicles, the palace feast needs the first king, then the minister, and then the eminent person. As for the harem queen and concubines, they all have to sit on the side seats. But why did you arrange the seat of the queen to sit at the same table with you, before the minister? ”

"That's what you mentioned!" Qiu Shuang snorted and said with a disdainful expression, "I think you've been in the mountains for too long and don't know the world." No one in the world knows that the emperor loves the queen, not only because our mother is beautiful, but also because the mother has been in and out of life and death with the emperor to create the world. The emperor enjoys glory and is willing to share the world with his mother, and the matter of sitting in the order is beyond reproach. It's you, the hairy boy who doesn't know where you came from, don't understand the facts, and you still have to point fingers here, which not only delays other people's time, but also annoys people! ”

After Qiushuang said this, she turned around with the people behind her and was about to leave.

"The emperor did this, perhaps on a whim, blinded by love. But shouldn't you, who are courtiers, fulfill your obligations and mention the emperor? Now it looks peaceful on the surface, but let the emperor fall into the name of a faint king, is this the duty of your courtiers? ”

After a pause, Qiushuang glanced back at Mr. Qingfeng, and said arrogantly: "Our mother deserves this, so we don't need any explanation!" After finishing speaking, Qiu Shuang left without looking back.

At the moment when Autumn Frost left, Mr. Qingfeng saw an inexplicable look on her face. What kind of look is that? With a hint of pride and a hint of contempt, as if everything was taken for granted, and at the same time as much contempt as possible without knowing it. Such a woman is really ...... Not cute.

***

Zuo Xiangfeng, as the invitee, sat in the corner of the dinner party on one side, watching the wonderful singing and dancing, and always couldn't arouse his interest. Although there were also people around him who were enthusiastic and polite to him, Zuo Xiangfeng was afraid that his identity would scare these polite people, so he was silent, and after a few times, no one paid attention to him anymore, leaving Zuo Xiangfeng to drink by himself.

His eyes wandered around the most dazzling woman tonight, but he couldn't always see the woman he was thinking about. Seeing the figure of Dongxue, Zuo Xiangfeng's heart was even more depressed, so he drank wine one after another.

I don't know why, today's left wind has a very flustered feeling, my heart has been hanging, and I always have a premonition that something will happen. He didn't like to be left undecided like this, so he got up and left his seat while everyone was laughing, wanting to go in search of winter snow.

But halfway through, Zuo Xiangfeng felt that she shouldn't trouble Dongxue, she was the busiest time today, even if she found her, Dongxue didn't bother herself, so why bother her?

Sighing softly, Zuo Xiangfeng felt that he was really not suitable for such an occasion, and he didn't want to return to the banquet, so he found a secluded place in the garden and looked up at the bright stars in the sky.

The breeze was gentle, and the left wind leaned on the railing a little drowsy, but suddenly a familiar sound made his eyes widen immediately.

"Winter snow."

Dongxue, who was hurrying past here, was stunned, and then turned around in disbelief, looking at Xu Shaoqing who was blurry under the moonlight, and suddenly had a feeling that things were wrong. At this moment, Dongxue felt as if her soul had flown out of her body, hanging in mid-air, looking at herself and the man opposite, as if she was watching someone else's scene.

With both hands clasped, Dongxue listened to her voice and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

A few steps closer to Dongxue, Xu Shaoqing smiled lightly and said, "I was invited by the royal family to come. Before I came, I wondered if I could see you here, but I didn't expect to run into you. ”

Her fingertips slowly became cold, Dong Xue looked at Xu Shaoqing and asked, "Who is it, who sent you the invitation?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shaoqing took out the red invitation card from his arms and said, "It was sent by Master Zhang Liren Zhang." He and I used to be colleagues and had a close relationship. Master Zhang has always wanted to convince me to return to the court as an official and benefit the people. But time has passed, and my heart is no longer here, and I came to the capital this time just to see old friends. ”

"That'...... Didn't you bring your wife with you? ”

"I didn't have to leave my hometown for long, so I asked her to wait for me back in my hometown."

Waiting for you to go back......

In the past, Dongxue also hoped that she could be the woman behind Xu Shaoqing, and for him, she could put down her sword and be willing to be an ordinary woman. But after waiting for many years, Xu Shaoqing already has his own wife, and that person is not himself. If I had known that the result would be like this, would I still be so attached to this relationship in the first place?

I remember that when I saw Xu Shaoqing in the palace for the first time, Dongxue was secretly taken aback, and I didn't expect to be able to meet him again in this life. But looking at Xu Shaoqing's high-spirited appearance, Dongxue didn't want to come forward to recognize him, and couldn't say why, just hid his figure in the dark and waited quietly for him to leave.

Since then, Dongxue will unconsciously set her eyes on this man, and when she hears his name, she will secretly remember it in her heart, and even without her knowing, a heart will fall on Xu Shaoqing's body, and as soon as she stops, it will be many years.

Later, Xu Shaoqing was resigned and returned to his hometown, and Dongxue always remembered him, thinking that he must return to Linxian County and take a look at him when he has the opportunity. It's just that Dongxue is used to hiding her feelings, and when she reunites with Xu Shaoqing, she disguises herself with indifference, saying all kinds of cold words, and while testing the other party, she is also slashing her own heart, making both sides bloody.

It wasn't until Dongxue saw Xu Shaoqing's wife that she felt the pain in hindsight, making her almost unable to breathe, and she didn't even remember what happened later.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, she arrived at Heiwa Village and went to another world. Now that Xu Shaoqing has become married, he can only break his thoughts and bury this feeling that he has never seen Guangri deeply, as if nothing had happened.

Sometimes Dongxue also feels sorry, the only person she has ever liked in this life, and she doesn't even know that there was a girl who silently liked him, isn't this also sad?
