Chapter 56: A Spring Breeze Enters the Night
The seat of the National Education Academy was in the corner, no one paid attention to it, it was very deserted, just like the first night of the Qingteng Banquet, Chen Changsheng was thinking about the matter of the Southern Mission proposing marriage later, how could he be in the mood to care about this, and Luoluo would not pay attention to such a trivial matter. She paid attention to Chen Changsheng's expression, guessing what he was thinking, occasionally fed him with a fruit, but she didn't even glance at the tea on the case, the tea in the palace was naturally the best in the eyes of ordinary people, but in her eyes, it was extremely shoddy, where could it be eaten.
A middle-aged palace maid appeared behind the seat of the National Education Academy, her face was emotionless, and she looked extremely indifferent and proud, looking like it should be a noble person's close attendant in the palace, but when she was close to Luoluo, the indifference on the palace maid's face turned into respectfulness and just the right amount of enthusiasm, and her voice was also very well controlled, so that only Luoluo and Chen Changsheng could hear it.
Princess Pingguo, please? Chen Changsheng was a little surprised, looked at Luoluo, and asked her what was going on with his eyes.
Luoluo looked into the depths of the main hall, and saw the figures of Jin Changshi and Li Nushi in the shadows, probably knowing what was going on, and said to Chen Changsheng with some embarrassment: "Sir, I haven't entered the palace for a long time, I may need to go over and have a look." β
Chen Changsheng had gradually become accustomed to the surprise that Luoluo brought to him, and even a little numb, and said, "Since it is an old man, then let's go." β
Luoluo looked at the eyes in the hall that drifted to the seats of the National Religious Academy from time to time, and said, "Sir, don't worry, I'll be back in a while." β
Chen Changsheng knew what she was worried about, and he didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You must come back." β
A moment later, another court attendant came to invite, but this time it was Chen Changsheng himself. He looked at the towering figure in the night outside the side door of the main hall, was silent for a moment, and made sure that the people in the hall did not pay attention to his movements, and got up and walked towards that place.
The side door of the main hall slowly closed, and the soft light of the night pearl in the hall still came out through the window, sprinkling on Xu Shiji's body, outlining the lines of his body more and more clearly, Chen Changsheng looked at his back, and suddenly felt a little thrilled, but there was no reaction.
"You didn't attend the second night of the Ivy Feast, and I thought you wouldn't show up tonight. β
Xu Shiji turned around, looked at him indifferently and said, "Why are you coming?"
Chen Changsheng himself couldn't figure out why he wanted to come to the Qingteng banquet one night later, and later when the representative of the Southern Mission, Qiu Shanjun, officially proposed to Xu Yourong, what he should do, but he knew that Xu Shiji wanted to meet him privately outside the palace in advance.
That reason made him a little angry, he looked into Xu Shiji's eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, I am a student of the National Education Academy, and I am qualified to participate in the Qingteng Banquet. β
This answer naturally could not satisfy Xu Shiji, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that Chen Changsheng called himself Uncle Shi, this kind of title for treating elders was obviously deliberate, and there was some meaning of the teenager hidden in it, a very deep meaning.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "It seems that you are not ready to continue to keep your promises. β
Chen Changsheng said: "I never expect everyone to keep their promises, but I will do it myself. β
After he entered Kyoto, the Eastern Imperial Shogunate suppressed him many times, until for some reason that he still did not confirm, some big man came forward and let him enter the National Education Academy, trying to exchange some promises, but in fact, he never promised anything.
If you want to talk about promises, the marriage contract that was made many years ago is the real commitment.
The Eastern Imperial Divine Shogun's Mansion did not fulfill this promise, so what right did he have to accuse him of not keeping his promise?
Xu Shiji looked at him calmly and said, "What do you think you can change just by being a child?"
Chen Changsheng didn't answer, turned around and prepared to walk towards the hall.
Xu Shiji smiled and said, "What a naΓ―ve child." β
Chen Changsheng stopped, because he suddenly felt that his body had become a little stiff.
Xu Shiji's simple words made his heart tighten suddenly, and the speed of blood flow in his veins became extremely terrifying.
A violent and bloody aura controlled his body and mind.
Chen Changsheng's face gushed with an extremely unhealthy crimson and was very uncomfortable, and it was not until this moment that he really confirmed that it was really easy for a powerhouse of Xu Shiji's level to kill an ordinary person like himself.
He stood at the side door of the main hall and looked at the light in the hall.
Even though it was night, it was still broad daylight.
No one dared to kill people in public in the palace, especially on such an important night, even Xu Shiji didn't dare. But because tonight is too important, Xu Shiji will definitely not watch him sit in the main hall, standing up at any time, and destroy this feast and this marriage contract that the entire Anthropocene world is looking forward to.
Xu Shiji can seriously injure him or even make him unconscious, so that although there will definitely be a lot of trouble, all variables can be erased in advance.
Chen Changsheng knew very well what Xu Shiji was thinking, and if it were him, he would probably choose to take risks, but he did not regret not staying in the hall, but came to meet Xu Shiji outside the hall, because just like in the Xu Mansion and outside the ancestral hall, he had a clear conscience, so he was not afraid.
In his right hand, he grasped the button made of rhinoceros horn that had fallen into his sleeve.
Let all this be exposed to the light brought by the night pearl.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the night on the other side of the palace.
The voice was incomparably gentle, giving people a kind and refreshing feeling.
It's like a spring breeze, blowing in your face.
"Shenjiang Xu, what are you doing here?"
Out of the night was a young man, dressed in a yellow shirt and neatly combed with his hair in a neat bun, with handsome eyebrows and eyes and a gentle expression.
Anyone who looked at the scene could know that there was a problem between Xu Shiji and Chen Changsheng, but the young man still asked calmly, asking so naturally, as if he really just wanted to say hello to Xu Shiji, it was just the beginning of the cold noise.
A spring breeze came into the night.
That bloody and violent aura disappeared in an instant.
Chen Changsheng got rid of the danger, and his face gradually improved.
Xu Shiji looked at the young man and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Chen Liu, and the last general will watch the Qingteng banquet tonight, and I met the deceased by chance, so I chatted a few words." β
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, thinking that this was the legendary King Chen Liu.
Chen Liuwang looked at him, looked a little surprised, and said, "So it's you?"
Xu Shiji frowned slightly and said, "His Highness knows him?"
Chen Liuwang smiled and said: "The first student of the National Education College in recent years, I think it is difficult not to know. β
Since the ascendion to the throne of the Holy Queen Niangniang, all the royal family of the Chen family have been sent to the remote places of various states and counties, and only King Chen Liuwang has stayed in Kyoto and grew up in the palace.
King Chen was the only bloodline of the old imperial family in Kyoto, and he represented a lot of meaning.
A few days ago, the Anglican College reappeared in the eyes of the world, and in the eyes of many people, it also represents a lot of meaning.
Coincidentally, the meanings they represent are the same.
