Chapter 53: Drinking Under the Moon
But I don't know how the Seven Star Pavilion collapsed overnight, why the disciples of the Buddha Tu took action, and ...... Why did Jun Qianyu overthrow the old dynasty and establish himself as king.
-- Establish a new policy and change its name to pray for peace. Pray for peace, pray for Luobei...... Is he here to commemorate his deceased father?
Jiuxi felt as if she was in a fog, and the transparent practice she had practiced with the Zen master after she entered the world had little effect on her after she returned to Hongchen.
Is it really a fan of the authorities?
She sighed softly, being in Hongchen was inevitably burdened by Hongchen's affairs. How to peel off the cocoon and cut through the false appearance, and see the thing itself, she still needs more understanding.
"Your Highness. Yu'er, who had been waiting by her side, came in with a cup of ginseng tea, "Your Highness has reviewed the hard work, drink a cup of ginseng tea to refresh yourself." ”
"Yu'er still feels sorry for me. ”
Jiuxi took the tea with a smile and joked by the way.
Seeing these people who have been waiting by her side since she was a child-Yu'er, Xiao Qiqi, she really felt that she was back, and she gradually changed back to her former appearance.
But there are some things that can't be changed back.
"Whatever Your Highness says, how can there be anyone around Your Highness who doesn't feel sorry for Your Highness. His Royal Highness has not returned for five years, His Majesty is overly worried, and a white ...... is on his forehead."
When Yu'er heard Jiuxi say this, she hurriedly said with some eagerness that His Majesty was kind to Jiuxi.
"Well...... Jiu Xi lowered his head and pondered, "Not long ago, I met Lord Zuo Xiang when I was wandering around the Imperial Garden, and I knew that he had moved to the palace a few years ago, and his mother personally supervised the construction of the Qingyu Palace for him, I thought she should have lived well in the past few years." ”
After speaking, he raised his head again, and looked at Yu'er with a pair of warm and harmless eyes.
Yu'er was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and when His Royal Highness was taken away by the Grand Master five years ago, His Majesty was furious, and sent a lot of people to find His Highness's traces. It's a pity that for some reason, as if I accepted the facts, the matter was closed, as if I didn't care about His Highness at all.
But she couldn't say the same thing with His Highness.
She also secretly asked Sister Mingyue, who was waiting by His Majesty's side, and Sister Mingyue said that when the princess dreamed back at midnight, she often recited Her Highness's name.
It seems that although His Majesty does not say it, he still misses His Highness very much and worries about His Highness in his heart.
Ji Mo Wei was indeed worried about Jiuxi's safety back then, and even got angry with Zhongli Qianyue because of this, but not long after, Elder Suiming of Shanhai Temple, Qiantu's relatives, sent a letter to tell her that Jiu Xi had been rescued, and that she needed to take her out for a few years to avoid the catastrophe of Yunyun, so Ji Mo Wei was relieved.
But I never thought there would be an accident. For a few days, she had no intention of going to politics because she was worried about Jiuxi, and in order to appease her, Zhongli offered to move into the palace to help her deal with political affairs, so she turned her mind to another palace for him.
Therefore, now that Jiuxi has returned, Zuo Xiang has not left the palace. She only saw that the future of her father's and mother's emotional road was very good, and there was no other person who said that she was worried about His Royal Highness and worried too much.
Jiuxi sat on the sandalwood chair and took a sip of ginseng tea. The autumn night was cold, a cup of ginseng tea was in the stomach, the belly was warm, Jiuxi squinted his eyes and lay back on the sandalwood chair with satisfaction, and wanted to fall asleep.
"Your Highness, the night is dark, Yu'er accompany His Highness back to the dormitory to rest. Seeing her like this, Yu'er asked softly.
Jiuxi still looked tired, closed his eyes and didn't want to move. Yu'er was thinking about whether to find another warm thing for His Highness, when she saw His Highness's suddenly excited face: "Okay Yu'er, I want to drink a little, you go and help me get a pot of wine." ”
Jiuxi will be ten years old when she leaves the palace, because of Zuo Xiang's sentence "Children should not drink", that is, Mo Wei did not even allow her to touch a little fruit wine, and even five years ago she drank a broken piece of wine with Jun Qianyu in the inn and almost made a joke.
However, the Zen master is not taboo in meat and vegetarian food, and is fond of drinking. Follow the Zen master to travel outside, the Zen master has a broad heart, has the heart to exercise her amount of alcohol, Jiuxi has a lot of good wine, and now one or two pots of belly, for her is also like drinking white water.
Yu'er was a little hesitant, for some reason, she always felt that His Highness was still the same as when she was ten years old, but the Highness in front of her had become different from five years ago.
In five years, he took away his Royal Highness's baby fat, his palm-sized little face was bright and beautiful, and when he smiled, he was accompanied by a cute pear vortex and pointed little tiger teeth, and he looked more and more like His Majesty.
Yu'er, who saw that her Highness was stunned, was still thinking about His Highness's desire to drink, and persuaded in a daze: "Your Highness...... Drinking alcohol hurts the body, and besides, His Highness is not allowed to drink alcohol on His Majesty's side. ”
Jiuxi grinned and grabbed Yu'er's arm, put it on the side of her face and said coquettishly: "Sister Yu'er, please......"
Yu'er was defeated after all, and she was really soft to see His Highness's coquettish appearance. After sighing helplessly, he turned around and went out to help Jiuxi get wine.
Jiuxi stretched his waist and walked out of the side hall, holding on to the threshold in front of the hall and looking up at the ink-colored dome that was cut by the corner of the palace eaves, the night in late autumn was quiet and lonely, the cold full moon was half hidden in the hazy clouds, and a few stars were scattered and shimmering, flickering in the field of vision.
The cold on his face penetrated into his bones, and the heating in the hall had already dissipated, Jiuxi rubbed his thin arms, thought about it, and took advantage of Yu'er's wine before returning, he first went back to the dormitory and put on a piece of Chixia Ruyi cloud pattern, and then returned to the front door of the side hall to wait.
From a distance, I saw a person wearing a delicate palace dress walking towards Tingting, Jiuxi's fingers tapped her chin, and after thinking about it, Yu'er was fourteen years old when she left the palace, and now she is nineteen years old, and she should have found a good family for her. But you have to ask her if she wishes.
Yu'er didn't know what His Royal Highness was thinking in her heart, and she had already planned to consider how much dowry she would prepare for her. Handing the warm wine in his hand to Jiuxi, Fang frowned again and said, "What is Your Highness waiting for here?" It's cold outside, Your Highness should go in quickly." Otherwise, let others see His Highness drinking, and then pass it on to His Majesty......"
Jiuxi took the wine, ignored Yu'er's chatter, tilted her head and thanked her with a smile in her eyes: "Thank you for my good Yu'er, Your Highness, I want to find a place to drink with a sense of interest and interest, you just leave me alone, go back and rest first." ”
Without waiting for the other party to react, he trotted away and hid in the night around the corner.
"Hey......" Yu'er hurriedly chased after her, but she didn't see the slightest shadow of His Highness.
Jiuxi performed light skills and sat down on the ridge of the top of the heavy eaves hall, stepped on the yellow glazed tiles under his feet, opened the top flower of the wine pot and poured a big sip, and the fatigue of dealing with government affairs all day disappeared.
Refreshing!
Tomorrow will be the fifteenth, so it's no wonder the moon is so bright tonight.
In the next half of the month, winter will be another year. Jiuxi raised his head and took a sip of wine again, but he didn't swallow it immediately, and a sip of wine was still in his mouth.
"Drinking with the moon, His Royal Highness is in good spirits. ”
A voice suddenly sounded in the lower left, Jiuxi was defenseless, a sip of wine choked some tears in his throat, and finally swallowed the wine smoothly, looking down, the culprit looked up at her and smiled playfully.
"Ahem...... In the middle of the night, why do you scare me?"
Jiuxi glanced at the man below, watched his robe fly up to the top of the hall, and sat down next to her.
"You didn't sleep in your house late at night and came in over the wall?"
"Climbing over the wall is not in line with the courtesy of a gentleman, but I just used some side methods to get in. ”
"I haven't seen you for five years, how did the original handsome boy give birth to some well-dressed beasts?"
His Highness smiled. ”
Qin Sang's face was gentle and polite, so that Jiuxi couldn't say anything to scold him.
"Getting back to business, enter the palace in the middle of the night, what are you looking for me?"
"The moonlight is just right tonight, and I have nothing to do in the next place, so I came to His Highness to admire the moon. ”
Jiuxi held his chin with his left hand and looked at him for a moment.
“...... By the way, I would like to talk about the information from all sides from the people who arranged it below. ”
Qin Sang added.
After Qin Sang returned to Tianyuan with Jiuxi five years ago, he began to plan with Jiuxi. First, he recruited people from the rivers and lakes who had both ability and political integrity but had never met talents, secretly cultivated and formed his own forces, and then planted people in all parties in the Three Kingdoms and established intelligence agencies.
Of course, these are all carried out by relying on Jiuxi's name and financial resources.
Now that His Royal Highness is full-fledged, he can also turn from darkness to light, and be her staff on the bright side.
However, if he wants to really show his ambition and talents, he still needs to wait until His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne.
"Your Majesty has now entrusted almost all the daily affairs of affairs to His Highness, and it seems that the day of His Highness's succession to the throne is not far off. ”
"She just wants to spend more time with Zuo Xiang. ”
"After Your Highness succeeded to the throne, did you think about how to deal with the relationship with Qi Ming and Qi An?"
"What do you mean by that?" Jiu Xi said lightly, "It's not that you came to share information with me, but why did you come to ask me?"
Qin Sang pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, just talk about the information first." ”
"Speak quickly. ”
"His Royal Highness asked me to investigate Langle's whereabouts, and today I got the news that he has been enshrined as a national teacher by the Qiming monarch. ”
"No wonder the Seven Star Pavilion has never heard of him making a move, it turns out that he has already attached himself to the Qiming royal family. Jiuxi still said calmly, she couldn't tell how she felt when she heard the news of Langle.
Is it just that Tian Yuan can't fulfill his ambitions, or is it just that he can't be her master anymore?
She still can't figure out why a demon venerable of his majesty came to Tianyuan to be her master, why he established the Seven Star Pavilion in the human world, and why he erased her memories and took them to the demon world.
Langle is a matter of the demon clan, Jiuxi has never told others, it can be regarded as the last bit of master-apprentice relationship between her and him.
The Zen master once asked her if she was afraid that he was a demon and an outlier. Jiuxi thought about it, she shouldn't be afraid, she didn't have any resistance and fear in her heart about his identity as not a human race, but it was difficult for her to think she knew him, but she never figured out his mind from beginning to end.
Qin Sang also had no sleep tonight, and took advantage of the moonlight to come to the palace to see her. Langle's news was not so urgent that he had to report to her tonight, so he started talking about gossip after he finished talking about business.
"I heard that Your Majesty originally set a family affair for Your Highness, and now Your Highness is here, Your Majesty will soon announce it to the world. ”
"You're well-informed, do you know who is the person who is married to me?" asked Jiu Xi Youyou.
"Today's monarch of the country of prayer is a thousand eyes. ”
"yes, it's him. Jiuxi took a sip of wine and swallowed, "But now, it shouldn't be." ”
