The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

The lights in Qingxin Hall were extinguished, leaving only one lantern flickering in the night.Murong Zhaohui leaned against the head of the bed with loose black hair, facing the bright moon in front of the window, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, where has he been and who have he met in the past few days?"

A voice came from not far away. It turned out that there was a black-clothed guard standing in the darkness: "Meng Shilang rode his horse to the outskirts of the city the day before yesterday. After a while, he went back to Sikong Mansion to play chess with Lord Sikong. , read in the room at night. After the court yesterday, I went to the wine shop with a few young people from the official department. I returned to the Sikong mansion on time in the evening, and practiced swordsmanship in the evening. After the court today, I only practiced Danqing in the courtyard. , I met Zhao Guangyu on the road when I went back in the evening, we chatted for a long time, and even went shopping with him in the market and looked at antiques..."

"Huh, Zhao Guangyu?" Murong Zhaohui was startled, then suddenly remembered that he agreed to let him back. "It turns out that he has already returned to Dragon City."

"Yes, I went back to Dragon City yesterday."

"What did they talk about?"

"The subordinates are far away, so I couldn't hear all of them. They seemed to be talking about the past. Zhao Guangyu has changed a lot, and Meng Shilang didn't recognize it at first."

"Thin?"

"Yes."

"Does he... look happy?"

"Subordinates... I can't tell. Meng Shilang doesn't seem to be that happy, but Mr. Zhao is very happy."

"I know, you go down, be careful not to be discovered by him."

"Yes."

The night wind blows from the window, the spring wind is soft and warm, but it is late at night after all, so it is somewhat chilly.Murong Zhaohui gathered up the silk obscene clothes, covered the quilt, lay down and looked at the bright moon outside the window.I don't know when, Changsheng didn't want to stay with him anymore.He remembered that Chang Sheng used to look at him with eager eyes, but now it is gone.

He didn't know what happened to him, since the first time he watched Changsheng, when Changsheng was not around, he couldn't help wondering what he did, so Li Qing became the eye of Changsheng who watched him all the year round.He felt that he didn't distrust Changsheng, maybe... it was just because Changsheng had been completely out of his sight for more than two years, until today he still hated him, hated Murong Zhi, and also hated Chi Lu.Zhao Guangyu couldn't ignore it either, he knew very well that Zhao Guangyu coveted longevity and had coveted him since he was very young.In this palace, I don't know how many people covet longevity, men and women...

The envoys of the Qiang State visited the State of Yan, and they have now arrived at the Longcheng post.Tonight, a grand palace banquet will be held in the palace to welcome guests from afar.Today, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals, no matter their rank or rank, are extremely busy, coming in and out to prepare things for the evening palace banquet.Changsheng went to the Ministry of Rites to check the accounts and found nothing wrong, so he walked towards Qingxin Hall and reported the situation to Murong Zhaohui.

"Your Majesty, should we go back to Qinglian Palace or take a walk around again? The weather is good today." A charming voice came from not far away, Chang Sheng raised his head, Lian Yi and a little girl dressed as a palace servant came here, Not far away is the Qingxin Hall.Seeing Changsheng approaching, Lian Yi narrowed her eyes and looked him up and down for a while, with a faint smile on her lips, she said to the girl beside her, "Yuanyang, you go back first, I'll talk to Meng Shilang for a while."

"Yes."

Lian Yi is still beautiful, and more and more charming.She flipped the white jade hairpin on her bun, and asked inadvertently: "Meng Shilang, I heard that His Majesty often announces your audience recently?" , the number of times to enter the palace will naturally increase."

"Oh, that's right." Lian Yi chuckled, "It's really a good reason to enter the palace. Meng Shilang, if I remember correctly, you have reached the age of weak crown, and it's time to get married. Meng Shilang looks like a class You are so handsome, and the daughters of all civil and military officials in the court are looking forward to marrying you. Your Majesty has also talked about your marriage with me. He is very concerned about your affairs. If Meng Shilang takes a fancy to any lady , even if you tell His Majesty that you are a hero, His Majesty will definitely not treat you badly, but don't delay yourself for state affairs..."

"Thank you for your concern, the next official will consider it carefully."

After Lianyi left, Changsheng felt an indescribable feeling.He... really wants to arrange a marriage for himself?Changsheng couldn't help but smile wryly.It really is impossible for him to follow him.Murong Zhaohui's seemingly ambiguous behavior towards him should be just a normal concern, and it's his own wrong thinking.After all, they had been together since childhood, and it was normal for Murong Zhaohui to treat him a little closer than ordinary people.

As night fell, the palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively.Chang Sheng sat with his father Meng Sikong, looking at the situation before him, he only felt that time flies.The envoys of the Qiang Kingdom sat in the seats of honored guests, and the officials of the surrounding Yan Kingdom toasted and greeted them one after another.Qiang people have high noses and deep eyes, and their hair color and eye color are also different from those of Yan people. Changsheng was very curious.He had only heard that Qiang people looked different from Yan people, but this was the first time he saw real Qiang people.

The surname of the Qiang Kingdom is Jin, and the head of the envoy is the cousin of the Qiang King, who is titled Prince Cheng, named Jin Shijue, and is about [-] years old.Prince Cheng is probably too leisurely drinking and eating meat all year round, and he is showing signs of getting fat, but he is very energetic.His hair color is brownish-yellow, a little curly, his eyes seem to be light brown, and he is not sure about his longevity under the light.Prince Cheng was a bold person, he ate meat and drank heavily, and soon got along with the ministers present, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.His Chinese is pretty good, if he doesn't need to talk with too obscure and old-fashioned vocabulary, he can answer it well, which makes Changsheng quite admired.

Standing next to Prince Cheng Jin Shijue was a young man dressed as a guard, about 25 years old, with a body as strong as a rock.Changsheng thought he was already quite tall, and the young man was at least half a head taller than himself, maybe more.His eyes seemed to be light green, and his gaze was as sharp as a falcon.Chang Sheng stared at him for a while, and the man noticed Chang Sheng's gaze, and turned his head to meet Chang Sheng's gaze.Chang Sheng hurriedly lowered his head, and discreetly picked up a chicken leg and put it in his father's bowl.When he looked up again, Chang Sheng was embarrassed to find that the guard was still looking at him with a probing look.Chang Sheng looked away in embarrassment, wondering if it would be considered impolite to stare at others just now?

Chang Sheng raised his head to look at Murong Zhaohui, who was aloof and aloof, he seemed to be quite happy today, and frequently returned the toast to Prince Cheng.

After drinking for three rounds, many people were faintly drunk.Jin Shijue walked to the middle of the banquet hall, bowed deeply to Murong Zhaohui, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this time I am visiting Yan Kingdom, our Majesty has prepared a generous gift for you, in order to ensure the stability and harmony of the two countries. You accept it." After finishing speaking, he clapped hands three times, and the gifts were presented one by one.

The first gift presented was gold and silver jewelry of various colors. These gold and jade jewelry were crafted by Qiang craftsmen to have a Qiang style.However, Minister Yan was used to seeing jewelry for a long time, so he didn't think it was new.The second one presented was a Qiang band. They were dressed in Qiang costumes, held Qiang musical instruments in their hands, and played Qiang music in the banquet hall.The music is full of Qiang style, light and melodious.Jin Shijue explained in the music: "This is the best musician in our Qiang country. I dedicate it to your Majesty. I hope that the arts of the two countries can have exchanges."

Listening to the melodious music, Chang Sheng put the wine glass to his lips, but saw a sedan chair studded with jewels being carried over in the distance.Chang Sheng's hands trembled slightly, some wine splashed out and wet his cuffs.

"Your Majesty, our Majesty will give you his beloved daughter, Princess Jinna, and wish to have a good relationship with Qin and Jin with Yan Guo forever."

When Jin Shijue said this, all the ministers present were surprised.Princess Jinna is the beloved daughter of King Qiang. King Qiang sent Princess Jinna here for marriage. He is sincerely forming an alliance with Yan. This is a great thing.

Chang Sheng put down his wine glass and looked at the gorgeous sedan chair, feeling a little uncomfortable.In recent years, the Qiang Kingdom and the Huns had been at odds with each other, and it was expected that they would find an alliance with the Yan Kingdom. Princess Jinna had a noble status, and she made peace with Murong Zhaohui. It seemed that the Queen's position must be hers.

The bead curtain in front of the sedan chair was lifted by a pair of pure white jade hands, and a woman in a fine attire came out slowly.Her head is covered with pearls and jewels, and she is tall and slender.The face was covered with a tulle, so I couldn't see clearly, but the only pair of eyes that were exposed were extremely beautiful.Long and curly eyelashes, light brown eyes, and eyebrows like crescent moons, even if the whole face is not shown, you can imagine her peerless appearance.She stepped forward slowly, and saluted Murong Zhaohui lightly.Murong Zhaohui took her hand and motioned for her to sit down beside him.Originally thought that the position next to Murong Zhaohui was reserved for Lian Yi, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Changsheng bowed his head silently.A man with talent and a woman's appearance, with the right status, it's a match made in heaven.After marrying Princess Jin Na, Murong Zhaohui's throne can be more secure, which is perfect for him.And... when Jin Shijue called the princess out, Murong Zhaohui was not surprised at all, it seemed that he had discussed it with King Qiang in advance.The marriage between the two countries is not a child's play. Princess Jinna is the daughter of King Qiang, and she cannot be casually accepted.

Meng Sikong was already drunk and lay unconscious on the table.The palace banquet was coming to an end, and several drunken ministers had already been helped down.Changsheng summoned two young eunuchs and asked them to send his father back to Sikong Mansion first, while he stayed behind.He didn't notice that there were a pair of light green eyes staring at him with an inquiring look.

Changsheng poured himself a glass of wine and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, only to feel that the bright moon was out of reach.
