I won't be a courtier anymore

Chapter 33

As soon as Zhao Zi heard that Cheng Jing had returned, he didn't care about anything else and went straight to the backyard.When people talk about Cheng Jing, they say he is Yang Ji's great apprentice, but Zhao Zi knows that Cheng Jing is not only Yang Ji's apprentice.In their Huanhuaxi school, no one has surpassed the achievements of Cheng Jing before, and there will be no one in the future.

There were no lights in the yard, but fortunately the moonlight in the summer night was very clear, and people standing under the trees could be vaguely seen.The first time I saw Cheng Jing, he was standing under this tree like this.He asked himself, do you want to be an emperor?

I nodded my head inexplicably, probably because his voice was cold and charming.

He said, take the phoenix heart in exchange.

The phoenix heart is the most precious treasure in the imperial palace. It is said that it is the most poisonous and virtuous thing in the world. No one has ever known what it is useful for.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Zhao Zi put away his memories, walked a few steps closer, Cheng Jing stood still under the tree, and replied, "Huanhuaxi has been destroyed, I have nowhere to go."

Hearing this, Zhao Zi was inexplicably overjoyed. He couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth, but felt that there was something wrong with his smile at this time, so he suppressed it: "What's the matter? Then what do you do now?"

Cheng Jing seemed a little tired, and there was a bit of disappointment in his voice: "Let's avoid you for a while, and leave when I get the Phoenix Heart."

Zhao Zi smiled and said: "Okay, then just wait, your Phoenix Heart is about to be obtained."

Cheng Jing nodded.

Zhao Zi smiled and said, "I just came back from outside today, I haven't eaten yet, sir, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Okay." Cheng Jing said.

Cheng Jing is very noble and unruly, and it is rare for him to be so smooth. Zhao Zi also knows that such time is short, so he sneaked a few glances, but Cheng Jing didn't realize it, his face was always tired, Zhao Zi couldn't help pressing down. Pressing Cheng Jing's shoulder, he asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

Cheng Jing rubbed her temples: "It's nothing."

Seeing that Cheng Jing didn't say anything, Zhao Zi didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them ate quietly like this, there was nothing on the table except the sound of chopsticks, it was so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

Zhao Zi felt very relieved.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Longevity Festival. This is the third birthday of No.60 for the old emperor. Because he was ill, all the ladies in the harem wanted to rejoice and hold a big event. After all, it might be the last one.

The situation in Beijing is also becoming more and more changeable. Both sides want to catch the other's fault, but they don't dare to act rashly, for fear that if the other party catches something wrong, they will lose everything. tranquility.

The Longevity Festival came as scheduled, and this year's Longevity Festival was much more lively than previous years, but the crowd didn't have that lively intention, they just smiled and perfunctory the old emperor.

Xie Feng was most annoyed by these dinner parties, he didn't dare to drink too much wine during the dinner, he only sipped and signaled to others, other times he ate melon seeds and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Songs and dances were still common at the dinner party. The adults tried their best to write a few birthday poems to make them happy. Just when Xie Feng felt that his teeth were going to be sore, suddenly there was someone else around him, Xie Feng turned his head , it was Xu Jiwu.

Xie Feng still remembered that he sent someone to rescue Xu Jiwu that day, and took over the fact that Xu Jiwu couldn't come out, so he snorted angrily.

Seeing this, Xu Jiwu hurriedly put his arms around Xie Feng's arm, and coquettishly said: "Cousin, don't be like this, let's have a good talk."

"What can I talk to you about?" Xie Feng said.

Xu Jiwu frowned and pretended to be pitiful: "Why didn't you say anything? We are good brothers."

"You and the second prince are also good brothers, why don't you talk to the second prince?" Xie Feng deliberately ignored Xu Jiwu, the second prince saw that the two were at odds, and felt more at ease. The two were at odds, it was easier to control Xu Jiwu by himself.

Xu Jiwu is a martial arts practitioner, he is sensitive to the eyes of others, he knew it when the second prince looked at him.

"The second prince is watching us." Xu Jiwu said.

Xie Feng said: "No problem."

When Xu Jiwu heard that Xie Feng said it was all right, he was relieved a lot. He sat beside Xie Feng and whispered in Xie Feng's ear: "Cousin, I heard that you raised a baby boy in your house. Child, you are very spoiled, isn't it true?"

Xie Feng raised Li Bai, so he was not afraid of others knowing. Although Xu Jiwu didn't care about the official affairs, he was still a son of a family after all, so naturally there was a source of news about him. He knew, and Xie Feng didn't hide it, so he nodded Said: "Yes."

"Then you're done." Xu Jiwu smiled, "I heard that His Majesty is advising the fourth princess on her marriage these days, hasn't she always liked you, I think the decree will be in these few days.

Xie Feng held the wine glass and didn't drink any more, he just shook the wine glass between two fingers, leaving a few drops of wine glistening in the glass.

"I think it's you who's finished." Xie Feng said.

"Me? How am I finished?" Xu Jiwu smiled and said, "Compared with you, a fool would know which one to choose."

"Sometimes you can't eat chicken legs, and chicken ribs can temporarily relieve your cravings." Xie Feng smiled lightly, "I have filial piety now, and His Majesty can only make an engagement for me and the princess at most, but you are different. Fame, but that is also the dignified son of the Marquis of Huaiyin, who is good-looking and talented, and the princess marrying you is also a close relationship."

Xie Feng said as he patted Xu Jiwu's shoulder, and continued: "The key is that everyone now knows that the Marquis of Huaiyin belongs to the second prince, and the only way for your two families to get closer now is to marry. You There is only a concubine in the family, so it is up to the second prince whether he likes it or not, the key is to take care of his aunt's face, do you think the second prince dares to marry your enchanting concubine?"

Xu Jiwu paused, and stammered for a while: "Then, then..."

"Marriage is not only possible to marry, isn't it also possible to marry? The princess marrying you can be regarded as a marriage that both parties are satisfied with." Xie Feng said that he was a little happy, and sat next to Xu Jiwu, and continued. , "You haven't had any love affairs these years. With your status and good looks, the imperial concubine and empress must be happy in her heart. With the best of all three, your majesty and noble concubine are happy, the second prince is happy, and my aunt is also happy. Tell me, this is not a good marriage. Is it?"

"But I'm not happy!" Xu Jiwu wailed in a low voice.

Xie Feng glanced at him: "Who cares?"

Xu Jiwu took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth clean, as if he had made up his mind, he said to Xie Feng: "Cousin, can you care about me?"

"Why?" Xie Feng looked like he was watching a play.

Xu Jiwu said in a low voice: "I have someone I like, and that is the monk Sanbao you met today."

Xie Feng was suddenly stuck, he seemed to be stiff, his neck was clucking: "What did you say? Xu Jiwu, tell me again?"
