In this life, I will drink the long wind

, has always been between truth and falsehood, making people unpredictable, and who dares to say that what he confessed to others is all truth or lies?If this is the case, it would be much simpler, but it is impossible.Sneering, Ye Xingfeng said again: "In the eyes of politicians, there are only two kinds of people in this world. One is a stepping stone, and the other is a stumbling block. Father, son, and brother are the same."

"Do you suspect that elder brother is being duplicity?"

Although it was a question, the tone of Yan Yu's utterance was neither fluctuating nor emotional.

"I've never met the First Prince, and what I've heard is only rumors, but you can't deny the possibility, Second Highness." Ye Xingfeng shrugged, sneered, and continued: "You can't live by yourself, I only hope that the First Prince It’s really like a cocoon as expected, so as to give us a chance to start.”

Yan Yu smiled, raised the corners of his lips, and looked deep in his eyes. He did not directly answer this question, but instead said: "What I say now is just guesswork. What is the truth? I still need to meet with the emperor before I can tell you what is going on." Sure." While speaking, Yan Yu's brows furrowed, and the tapping speed of his hands accelerated, "But Emperor Father only summoned Eldest Brother once when he returned to Beijing, and he never saw anyone after that, I'm afraid there is no chance."

"Then what is your Highness planning?" Ye Xingfeng asked.

A look of hesitation appeared in the corners of his eyes, and it dissipated in an instant: "Even if there is no opportunity, we must create an opportunity and wait all the time. It's too passive. Passivity will not do us any good."

Opportunity, Ye Xingfeng unconsciously recited this word in his heart, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile: "If you are going to pay homage to the emperor, then your highness might as well call the fourth highness to join you."

"Fourth brother?" Yan Yu's pupils narrowed slightly, and she understood immediately, pursed her lips, and nodded, "Well, fourth brother has always been loved by my father, so it would be a good idea to call him together."

With his mind set, Yan Yu got up, walked outside the door, and when he looked up, he saw that the blue sky was covered by heavy dark clouds at some point.

Storm is coming.

Human nature is inherently evil, human beings, especially those born in high positions, are born good at hiding the greatest malice under a glamorous appearance, aren't they?

But this person, is he?

still me?

As the sun rises, a busy new day begins.

The rising sun passes through the city walls and hits the majestic Yuanhe Hall. It is solemn and majestic. This is the center of power concentration in Daxiang, and it is also the place that all scholars in the world yearn for.

After the morning court ended, the Second Prince Yan Yu, who walked out of the hall, did not go straight back to his residence as usual, but walked in a completely different direction from usual.

Go to the inner palace.

Probably because he hadn't stepped into the harem for a long time, Yan Yu walked very slowly along the way, stopping and stopping, looking around, occasionally staring at a certain place, and smiling knowingly.

But for a moment, Yan Yu who was walking around unexpectedly met Yan Xu who was walking out from the palace.

Seeing Yan Yu, Yan Xu's expression brightened, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Second Brother!"

There was also a flash of surprise on Yan Yu's face, and he said with a smile: "Fourth brother."

"Second brother, what have you been up to lately? I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time." Yan Xu looked at Yan Yu, and after the initial joy, he lowered his face slightly and complained, "Every time I invite you out to gather with you None."

The smile on Yan Yu's face did not change, and the words that came out were not hurried or slow.

"Recently, the DPRK and China are busy with government affairs, and the second brother is really not free. I will invite you when I am free some other day, okay?"

"It's a deal!" As if afraid of people's repentance, Yan Xu waved his hand and made a big decision. After a pause, he said, "Second brother, why did you enter the palace today?"

Since Emperor Qi moved to the Taihang Mountain Palace, the three princes under him, although the eldest prince has not been formally canonized as a prince, but he is responsible for supervising the country, so he has been living in the East Palace, which is convenient for entering and leaving the early court.The birth mother of the fourth prince is Concubine Ning, so she also goes to the palace to pay her respects every day. Only the second prince, whose birth mother has passed away. Although Concubine Ning is the same queen, she is not the real queen after all, so there is no need to visit frequently. To avoid suspicion, Yan Yu He seldom enters or exits the palace.

A few months ago, although Emperor Qi drove back to the palace from Taihang Mountain, except for summoning Yan Chen alone when he returned to the palace, he never summoned other princes and ministers of the court, even if someone came to see him, he would not All refused.

The Tai Hospital also said that His Majesty is not feeling well and should rest and rest instead of disturbing.

Therefore, it is really very strange that Yan Yu will appear in the palace at this time.

Yan Yu heard the words, the pain between the brows immediately tangled up, the smile on the lips disappeared, leaving a faint melancholy, and said: "I want to see the father, but even if I can't see him, I can go and see." Take it easy."

A trace of strangeness flashed between Yan Xu's brows, but it disappeared quickly.

The morning court clearly ended a quarter of an hour ago, and he said he was going to visit his father, but he was still here, so he was waiting for me.Yan Xu understood, and he was very face-saving. For a while, it seemed that he had tasted something bitter, and his whole face immediately collapsed: "I don't know what's wrong with my father's body. I have repeated it several times. Please see me, he didn't even see me, I also asked my concubine, she always told me not to worry, don't ask too much, and don't say too much."

Yan Xu's unintentional words, in Yan Yu's ears, are full of deep meaning, don't ask too much, why don't you ask too much?Is good?still not good?

Yan Yu thought about it in his heart, but on his face, he raised his hand and patted Yan Xu's shoulder as if nothing happened, and said, "Don't worry, since father came back from the palace, it means that his body is much better than before. It will be fine." After a pause, Yan Yu suggested, "If the fourth brother is worried, why not go with me? You and I will go together, and the emperor may be willing to summon you."

Yan Xu's eyes lit up, he nodded emphatically, and gave a heavy hum.

"Then let's go."

"Second brother, you said that since the father has returned to the palace, why doesn't he want to see us?" Yan Xu complained a little while the two walked side by side, "I only see elder brother alone, partiality."

Yan Yu's hand hidden under his sleeve clenched into a fist, and a trace of unwillingness floated on his face, which disappeared in a flash, and he said with a smile: "Father's thoughts, who can guess, maybe he just doesn't want us to worry. .”

People's hearts are inherently biased, and so is the same emperor through the ages. I knew this a long time ago, Yan Yu sneered inwardly.

"Doesn't this make people more worried!" Yan Xu blurted out without any scruples.

"Fourth brother, speak carefully." Yan Yu looked sideways at Yan Xu, and shook his head slightly.

"Oh, I see." Yan Xu pursed her lips and did not speak again.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty hasn't got up today, please go back."

After the palace guards guarding the Yi'an Palace reported back, Fu An, the former chief internal officer who had been by Emperor Qi's side all the time, walked out with a smile, and bowed to salute Yan Yu and Yan Xu.

Hearing this, Yan Xu's brows tightened, and his complexion immediately changed. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Yu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, then took a step forward, facing Fu An and said, "Eunuch Fu You don't need to be too polite."

When people got up, Yan Yu sighed, and said: "Father hasn't got up yet, we two brothers shouldn't bother you, but, you know, father-in-law, we haven't seen Father for a long time, and we don't know Father's illness is really difficult to sleep and eat." His words were full of concern, every word and every word was full of admiration, Yan Yu even bent slightly, "We will definitely not disturb Father's rest, just go in Take a look, you will feel relieved when you see it, and I hope that your father-in-law will be accommodating for a while."

"Your Highness, you can't do that." Seeing this, Eunuch Fu knelt down in fright.

"Second brother, what are you doing!" Yan Xu felt dissatisfied when he saw it, and stopped talking, and pulled Yan Yu past him to rush in.

"Fourth Highness, please stay." Fu An didn't care about anything else, he got up quickly, stepped forward to stop him, "No, Fourth Highness.

The fourth prince, Yan Xu, was born to Concubine Ning. He grew up with thousands of pets since he was a child. His Majesty's favorite.

In addition, the fourth prince is very handsome, very similar to Concubine Ning Gui when she was young, but she is not feminine at all. With such a good appearance, others will inevitably be more tolerant of him.

Moreover, Yan Xu is a generous person who is very easy to get along with on weekdays, the premise is not to touch his bad luck.

For a master like the fourth prince, who can't be beaten, beaten, scolded, or scolded, and he is not willing to listen to reasoning with him, Fu An really has nothing to do, so he can only bite the bullet and step forward to stop him.

"Presumptuous." Encountered obstruction, Yan Xu couldn't help being furious, "My prince and second brother want to see their father without the consent of a slave like you?"

Fu An groaned bitterly, but still said with a serious face: "I dare not, but this is His Majesty's intention. Please don't make things difficult for Fourth Highness."

"Heh." Yan Xu laughed back angrily, "My prince is going to make things difficult for you today, get out!"

Fu Anwen stood still.

"Okay, very good." Yan Xu sneered, planning to take advantage of the situation to get mad.

"Second brother, fourth brother."

A steady voice sounded, breaking the stalemate in front of him, it was Yan Chen who came.

"The servant has seen His Royal Highness." Looking at the handsome first prince, Fu An seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly bowed to salute. Although his face was not visible, his tone sounded like a sigh of relief.

"Brother." Yan Yu nodded, feeling very regretful in her heart. She wanted to let the fourth brother try it out, but now it seems that there is no chance.

"Brother." Yan Chen came, Yan Xu didn't say anything, but his eyes still fell on Fu An, his face was full of anger.

Yan Chen glanced at Yan Xu, then at Yan Yu, and finally turned his head to Fu An and said, "Father is still resting inside, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Eunuch Fu, so it's better to go back and watch."

"No, this slave will leave." After Fu An bowed to the three of them, he immediately turned and left without stopping.

The dissatisfaction on Yan Xu's face was visible to the naked eye.

But Yan Chen didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly: "It's not proper to make a lot of noise in front of the palace where the father is resting." With a calm face, Yan Chen skipped Yan Xu and turned to Yan Yu, " The fourth brother has always been willful, so that's all, why are you messing around with the second brother?"

Yan Yu was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Yan Xu stopped the conversation and said, "This is none of Second Brother's business, I'm just dissatisfied, why should I have to get the consent of one of his servants if I want to see Emperor Father?" ?”

"Axu!" Yan Chen frowned, and said admonishingly, "Eunuch Fu's actions are all ordered by the emperor, if you can't keep this in mind, you won't have to come to Yi'an Palace again."

"I..." A rage rose from under Yan Xu's heart for no reason, and the fingers placed beside him couldn't help but twitch. Yan Xu knew that he should bear it at this time, and lowered his head, suppressing the irritability in his heart. When he raised his head again, he had returned to normal, and his face was even more aggrieved, "I'm just a little worried about my father. It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and the fireworks festival is coming soon. In the past, my father would watch it with me." Yes, but now I can't even see his face, and the second brother too, we are all worried about the father, otherwise the second brother would not invite me to meet the father."

Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he explained: "It's all my brother's fault. I originally planned to come over and have a look. I thought that if I was lucky, I might not be able to see my father today. It happened just when I entered the palace. I happened to meet the fourth younger brother, so I invited him to join me, and please don't blame the elder brother."

Yan Chen slightly raised his eyebrows, his thoughts were invisible, and he only said in a deep voice: "The imperial hospital reports the physical condition of the emperor every day, and it is generally stable at present, so you don't need to worry too much."

Yan Yu raised his eyes, frankly, met Yan Chen's sight without fear, and said with concern: "I know this, but I still remember, after all, the eldest brother is not better than us, and I have met the father before, and my heart is naturally better than the two of us." Have some bottom line."

Yan Xu nodded: "Second brother is right. Father used to say that all uneasiness comes from ignorance. As long as you listen more and watch more, you can feel at ease, but now we don't even have the chance to watch."

Yan Chen raised his hand to interrupt: "Father's decision, I have no right to comment."

His eyes swept over the two, one was worried and the other was at a loss, Yan Chen sighed silently, and said: "I am planning to call all the imperial physicians who have consulted with the emperor and the medical records that the emperor used in the past. Submit all the medicines and order them to discuss, and then you will all be together, although we do not understand medical principles, this can also give us a little peace of mind."

The words have come to this point, knowing that there are too many words and no meaning, Yan Yu nodded in agreement.

Yan Xu was still dissatisfied, although he didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was very angry.

Yan Chen only regarded him as a young man, and didn't take it seriously, but he still knocked on the mountain and said: "Those who are multi-minded will easily be sad. Although the emperor's filial piety is understandable, it's just that words and deeds are really lacking in caution. Next time, don't be so reckless. .”

"Me!" Yan Xu wanted to argue.

But was interrupted by Yan Chen's raised hand: "Okay, today's matter will end here, you can go back if you have nothing to do."

Knowing that what he just said was pointing at herself, Yan Yu's eyes were dark, and the repressed emotions were beating hotly in her chest, she almost blurted out, but in the end she just moved her lips slightly, bowed and turned to leave.

Without enough strength, everything you do will lose its strength. In the competition of language, the one who loses is always the one who gets excited first.

Yan Yu told himself that now is not the time, he has to endure.

Forbearance, forbearance is the word, although it hangs a sharp edge, it can make yourself more awake.

Seeing people leave, Yan Xu had no choice but to silently swallow back all the words that slipped out of his mouth, his expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with regret.

The audience just sat down, why did the fighting tigers leave?

Sorry.

☆, Baihualou

August eighteenth, night.

On the west building on the moon, there is a lot of people.

Yan Chen and Yao Lingyun just walked out of the palace in such an aboveboard manner and came to the street.

The two walked slowly along Linglong Street. Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, exquisite lanterns were still hung on the stalls on both sides of the street.

All sizes and shapes.

Today is the annual fireworks display in Daxiang Kyoto. On this day, the whole city will go out to watch the fireworks without closing their doors.

The Imperial Guards are directly responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city. Once an adulterer is found, no matter how big or small the crime is, they can be killed first and then charged. Therefore, this day is actually the safest day in the entire Eastern Capital.

Of course, at the beginning, Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to take the opportunity to break the law, but the end was without exception.

Since then, on this day, no one has dared to take this risk again.

Yao Lingyun, who was wandering around, took Yan Chen to a stall where he bought lanterns, bought two small lanterns, handed one to Yan Chen, and held the other in his hand.

The two of them, each carrying a small lantern, had no purpose, but followed the flow of people to the center step by step.

The Eastern Capital City illuminated by the lights is as bright as day, and there are many people walking on the street, each holding a lantern, chatting and laughing, and it is very lively.

Yan Chen looked calm, walked and watched all the way, and suddenly said with emotion: "This year's fireworks festival is much more lively than previous years."

"Yeah." Yao Lingyun said with a smile on his face, "The Fireworks Festival is just a few days after the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the wanderers go home to celebrate the festival. It is also very lively at this time in previous years, but this year With the great victory of the Western Expedition, Daxiang established the country with military force, the people are very happy about this victory, and even the festival is extremely joyous."

"This is the first truly large-scale military war after the founding of Daxiang, and it was a simple and beautiful victory." Yan Chen nodded in agreement, "Besides, the reason is that other countries disrupted our borders, and it will have this effect. Not surprisingly."

Yao Lingyun glanced sideways at Yan Chen, and said: "Since the news of the victory of the Western Expedition came back, the people of the whole country have all admired King Ning, especially in recent months, the reputation of the Ninth Prince among the people has reached an unprecedented height, Therefore, in the case of the former reward, some extreme people said that you treated him lightly."

After Yan Chen heard the words and proved them, he understood in a moment, and said helplessly: "Although the folk rumors are often forged, they often have their own reasons."

Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows: "I think so too, so what are your plans?"

Yan Chen turned his head, met Yao Lingyun's eyes, smiled, and didn't answer immediately.

The two followed the crowd, and unknowingly came to the Luoshui River that crosses the Eastern Capital. There were already a lot of people gathered along both sides of the river, in twos and threes. Everyone's faces revealed joy and sincerity, and they slowly put the lanterns in their hands into the river.

The two stood under the tree of lights not far away, watching the scene in front of them quietly, Yan Chen suddenly said: "Worshiping heroes is human nature, there is no one who would not yearn to hold a gun and fight a horse, and run across the wilderness." Live a happy life, but after all, mediocre people account for the vast majority in this world. Most of these people know the current affairs, so they will yearn for and worship, but in the end they always have to return to life and return to ordinaryness.”

The light in sight danced and swayed with the firelight in the lantern, Yan Chen said again: "After the storm, there is always tranquility."

Yan Chen's voice was a little low, with a hoarse texture, the gorgeous lights hit his handsome face, Yao Lingyun looked sideways at him, and felt that such a Chen was so good-looking that he couldn't move his eyes away .

After receiving no response for a long time, Yan Chen lowered his eyes and hummed slightly puzzled: "What?"

Yao Lingyun shook his head with a smile, looked away, started to walk to the river, took off the rope from the lantern, and put the boat lantern in the shape of a lotus flower into the water.

A little light drifts with the waves and slowly merges into the thousands of streams of light on the river.

Seeing this, Yan Chen also stepped forward to light up the lamp.

The two just watched quietly like this, and no one made a wish.

There was a wind blowing from behind, and the evening wind in late autumn blew up Yao Lingyun's bundled hair, sweeping across his face, fascinated his eyes.Yao Lingyun turned his head slightly, raised his hand to remove the hair in front of his eyes, and his eyes happened to fall on a certain place on the opposite river bank, and he couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"Achen, look over there."

Yan Chen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Yao Lingyun's finger, also surprised: "Second brother?"

Yao Lingyun nodded: "Well, the girl next to him should be the eldest lady of Zhuqi Villa, Lin Qing."

"Zhuqi Villa, the one in the south of the Yangtze River?" Yan Chen asked.

Yao Lingyun nodded: "That's the one. The Second Highness lived in Zhuqi Mountain Villa when he was recuperating in the south before he was ten years old. The owners of the villa grew up with the Second Highness's childhood sweethearts. They have strong feelings, especially the eldest lady Lin Qing. Now It seems that those rumors are not groundless, they have a very good relationship."

The two people in sight are holding hands and smiling at each other in the sky full of lights.

Yan Chen watched intently, a little smile could not help but float to the corners of his eyes, he felt relieved and sighed: "I don't think my second brother has reached the age to get married."

But Yao Lingyun disagreed: "I'm afraid it's difficult, Zhuqi Villa is a family of Jianghu, Miss Lin is more than two years older than the Second Highness." After a pause, Yao Lingyun withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Yan Chen He laughed and said, "Besides, the elder brother is not yet married, so how can the second brother catch up from behind?"

Yan Chen didn't take it seriously: "Father won't care about these trivial matters, and I won't mind my second younger brother getting married before I do. The rest of the problems are not a problem."

While speaking, Yan Chen turned his head, with countless tenderness between his brows and eyes, he generously raised his hand to hold Yao Lingyun's.

As long as the father doesn't mind and the elder brother doesn't mind, it's no one else's turn to comment on who to marry.

Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.

Yao Lingyun was startled for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became brighter. The corners of his lips were raised higher and higher, and the lights of the river reflected his eyes, which was very gorgeous.

After a long while, Yao Lingyun suppressed his smile and continued the topic just now: "But the Second Highness knows it himself."

On the other side of the river bank, the wind blew and the leaves fell, Yan Yu reached out and brushed the willow leaves that fell on Lin Qing's shoulders, and carefully adjusted the cloak on her body to prevent her from getting cold from the wind.

"Everyone in the world knows that the second prince is familiar with sages and respects the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Because of this, he is widely loved by the southern scholar-bureaucrats. Most of the scholar-bureaucrats are hereditary inheritance, especially in the southern regions where the Murong clan made their fortunes. Retaining the pedantic etiquette system of the Murong Dynasty a hundred years ago, the scholarly family pays special attention to inheritance. In their eyes, the old and the young must be orderly. If the Second Highness chooses to marry a Jianghu family at this time, it will definitely shake his reputation in the Jiangnan clan. The prestige in the middle." Yao Lingyun sneered, and then said, "Since he wants to be the emperor, he will definitely not marry Miss Lin, especially at this time."

"My second brother is more than two years old, and Miss Lin is now in her twenties." Yan Chen frowned, disapproving.

"There are gains and losses. The competition between the country and the beauties. Only the second prince can see the pros and cons." Seeing Yan Chen's brows that were about to wrinkle together, Yao Lingyun changed the subject, "Okay Well, it was agreed that today you will spend all your time with me, then you have to listen to me and don't think about other things."

Yanchen understands all the twists and turns, although they are brothers, but the second brother has been away from home since he was a child, and he has never been close to him, and because of his biological mother, he also had a lot of grudges against his father.

Sighing softly in his heart, Yan Chen left this matter aside for the time being, then turned to Yao Lingyun and said, "Then I don't know what is the arrangement for finding the young master in the next time?"

Yao Lingyun smiled and left without saying a word.

After walking a few steps, looking back leisurely, he smiled lazily and said, "I'll take you to a place."

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows and followed.

Late at night, people are quiet.

In the middle of the night, it is the time when dreams are at their most intoxicating.

But there are always times when it is different, and there are always places where it is the exact opposite.

The more lively it gets late into the night.

In the ancient city of Dongdu, there is a small artificial bridge in front of the well-known Baihualou.

It's called Broken Soul Bridge.

After stepping off the Broken Soul Bridge, there is a winding artificial trail.

It's called Goupo Road.

Crossing the bridge does not necessarily kill the soul, and entering the road may lead to the loss of the soul, but according to rumors, as long as one foot steps into the Baihua Building at the end of the trail, the soul will definitely be lost.

Baihualou, the famous Baihualou in Dongdu.

This is the most famous brothel Chu Pavilion at the foot of the emperor.

Here, not only the girl is beautiful, the small restaurant is pretty, the tea is strong, the wine is mellow, but also the singing is melodious, the dancing is graceful, and even the old bustard is a first-class beauty.

Such a place is naturally crowded with people, and it gets more and more lively as the night goes by.

The same is true for Baihualou tonight, brightly lit and full of guests.

But tonight's Baihualou is different from the previous nights.

In order to welcome the arrival of Zishi, and to let everyone in the building witness the splendid fireworks all over the city, all the doors and windows of the Baihua Building are wide open tonight.

In fact, logically speaking, in such a festival where the whole city cheers and everyone looks up at the sky to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the business of Baihualou should deteriorate.However, this is not the case. Tonight's Baihualou is still full of seats.

Because the annual oiran contest is also today.

Under the leadership of Yao Lingyun, Yan Chen directly walked up to the highest room in Baihua Building - Chunfang Pavilion through the secret passage at the back door.

"The arrangement you said is to take me to the brothel?"

Yan Chen looked around and looked around at the room he was in. There were all kinds of calligraphy, painting, brush and ink, and it was elegant.

Yao Lingyun was standing by the window of Xiaoxuan facing inward, looking down, turned his head when he heard the words, with the corners of his eyes slightly down, Shi Shiran pulled a particularly innocent expression: "Is it bad? I don't bring him here for ordinary people .”

Yan Chen stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, lowered his eyes, looked down at Yao Lingyun, and shook his head solemnly: "No, the whole building is not as beautiful as you, so how can I say something nice? "

Yao Lingyun let out a chuckle, his voice was a little picky, and he said jokingly: "Then how about this, look at me, let me come to see the spring scenery in the garden?"

The smile on Yan Chen's face couldn't be suppressed, and he continued to speak in a very natural way: "That's not okay, I won't be happy if people don't look at me."

Hearing this, Yao Lingyun nonsense nonsensically said: "Then what should I do, I think this spring garden is more beautiful than yours."

Before Yan Chen could reply, the sound of silk and bamboo under the tall building stopped, and the voice started.

In the center of the hall of Baihualou, there is a towering high platform, and three overpasses extend out from the high platform. Each overpass connects to the surrounding pavilions. The sound continued to come out, but at this time the music had stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.

First there was a burst of low laughter from the high stage, and then the graceful and smiling old bustard strolled to the center of the stage, saying in a sticky voice: "Guest officers have worked hard today, and it's still time to come to our place." I want you to blow the wind and get cold, ha ha... but there is no way, after all, tonight is the fireworks festival, it would be a pity to miss it."

"fine."

"It's okay."

……

The guests downstairs are very face-saving, and they all responded loudly.

The old bustard on the tall building was very satisfied with this, she covered her lips and smiled, but she didn't say much, and said directly: "I know what you are here for today, so I, the old lady, will not stand in the way of the distinguished guests. , immediately invite the three girls who are running for the oiranship today, the first is our Shao Yao."

As the old bustard's voice fell, a beautiful woman in red came slowly on the overpass.

The old bustard who retreated to the side continued to introduce with a smile: "We Shaoyao are good at dancing."

At this time, Shao Yao had already walked to the center of the stage, bowing down gracefully, but her name did not quite match her name, she didn't say a word, her face was cold and glamourous.She wrapped herself tightly in a bright red dress, not revealing a trace of skin, but the wrapping was too tight, but it showed her figure even more, and her exquisite curves were undoubtedly displayed.

Behind the curtain, the sound of the piano resounded, and Shaoyao immediately waved her sleeves, flowing clouds and flowing water, extremely soft and beautiful.

The sound of the zither reappeared, and the sleeves were also billowing like water. Shao Yao raised her wrists and moved her steps to dance with the zither.The pearl hairpin on the top of her head danced along with her figure, colliding constantly, and the jingling and crisp sound echoed with the sound of the piano.The sound of the piano is melodious, the accessories are jingling, and the sleeves are flowing, bringing a double feast of hearing and vision.

At the end of the song, everyone stared at the curvaceous famous actress Shao Yao on the tall building with breathless concentration, as if they forgot to breathe for a moment.

"Papa papa" applause came from the private room on the right, breaking the silence of the moment, and everyone cheered back to their senses.

Because the dance was too intense, Shao Yao's cheeks were slightly flushed.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the initial applause, and only at this time did she have a slight smile on her face.

Sitting in that position is none other than Murong Huai, the young master of the famous capital.

To be appreciated by Murong Huai, Na Shaoyao is very confident, today's dance is enough to make her famous all over the world.

With such an effect, even if she is as cold as her, she can't help but be delighted by it.

Shao Yao bowed again, turned and left.

The sound of the piano fell, and the bell sounded, followed by laughter like silver bells. A petite girl, holding the big red ribbon hanging from the roof, tapped her toes, and flew directly from the attic to the center of the stage.

The visitor is Qingmei, another beauty of Baihualou.

Speaking of which, the naming method of Baihualou is also very unique. The one with a cold face and heart is called Shaoyao, and the one with white skin like porcelain and a sweet laugh, which makes the men present feel numb, is called Qingmei.

Qingmei was only wearing an ordinary dark blue dance dress, her feet were bare|naked, and her bright white hands and feet were more eye-catching against the background of the dark clothes.Bells were tied on her hands, feet, and waist, and she danced with them. Several bells jingled non-stop. For a while, the hall was very noisy, and there were endless applause.

When the bell stopped, Qingmei was hanging above the red silk in an extremely difficult and beautiful posture, smiling sweetly.

There was thunderous applause.

When Qingmei stepped down from the stage, she took a special look at the place where Mr. Murong was, and got people to look back, and flirtatiously cast him a winking look.

Yao Lingyun had noticed that position a long time ago, leaned slightly to touch Yan Chen's arm, and said, "The one sitting in that position is Mr. Murong, who is well-known in Dongdu."

Yan Chen took advantage of the situation to look, the position he was in had a very good line of sight, no matter which corner below he could see clearly.

The young man inside leaned lazily, with a cynical smile on his handsome face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, adding to his flirtatious attitude.

Yan Chen took a look, then looked away, and said indifferently: "Good-looking."

Yao Lingyun was surprised: "Is this the only evaluation?"

Yan Chen lowered his eyes, looked down at the laughter and laughter downstairs, and said: "Young Master Murong is famous all over the world, even I have heard of it even after living in the palace for a long time, but so what? He is not the only one in this world?"

Behind the two of them, there was a sudden crackling sound.

As the midnight approached, sporadic fireworks had already started to rise into the sky. The two of them glanced at each other without saying a word, but they turned around and walked to the window together as if they had a tacit understanding, forgetting all the silk and bamboo singing and dancing under their feet.

"In the corner of the rivers and lakes, it's so easy for a lonely girl to appreciate oneself, but a man is born in the world, if it's just like this, and he has done nothing for a lifetime, wouldn't he be ashamed of this good head on his head?" Walking to the window, watching the fireworks that filled the sky one after another, Yan Chen's face turned pale. Silence, a look of arrogance on the brows, mixed with admiration spontaneously, "The so-called careerists who live high in the temple, but are ridiculed by the world as greedy for power and fame after dinner, who is not willing to devote himself to the people of Daxiang After death? It’s certainly extraordinary to be proud of the world and despise things, but those who have the world in mind and seek the well-being of the people and the country are truly admirable people.”

Not far away, large expanses of fireworks exploded.

The child's hour has come, and the sky is full of brilliance, which is overwhelming.

It is very magnificent, just like what Yan Chen said just now.

When watching the oiran show, the two of them are in the best position, but when watching the fireworks, their current position is not good. The fireworks should be in an open place, from the bottom to the top. You can enjoy the beauty of fireworks.

With a smile on his face, Yao Lingyun, who was watching the fireworks, suddenly let out an ah, covered his eyes and turned his head inward.

Ashes floated down from midair and fell into his eyes.

"What?" Yan Chen was taken aback by his voice, seeing people covering their eyes, there was a moment of chaos.Turning around and holding his face, he looked at him carefully for a while before he was relieved, he got closer, and the breath he exhaled was soft and long enough to fall on Yao Lingyun's eyelids.

Yao Lingyun tried to open his eyes, but after a long while, he managed to open them. Tears dripped down from the corners of his eyes, and the opened pupils were also sparkling with water, washing away his usual calmness, making him almost fragile.

Seeing this, Yan Chen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and moved his fingers up slowly, gently touching the tear in the corner of Yao Lingyun's eye, a little soft-hearted, a little helpless, and hiding a little bit of blame: "Be careful, Deng Gaoguan Yanhuo, I don’t know what you think, but please ask for your advice?”

Yao Lingyun, who had recovered, smiled casually, raised his hand to pull Yan Chen's hand, and did not let go, just interlocking his fingers so stickily, when the two of them looked outside again, the fireworks covering the sky had already subsided.

Although the fireworks are brilliant, they disappear in a flash. In such a short time, the fireworks in the sky have disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few sporadic flowers, which exploded and disappeared.

Yao Lingyun raised his empty hand, pointed outward, and said, "Ah Chen, look at the north city gate."

Another firework exploded, but soon disappeared without a trace. Occasionally, the night wind whizzed by, sweeping up bursts of ashes. Yan Chen stepped forward to protect Yao Lingyun, so that no firework ashes would fall into his eyes again. And take advantage of the opportunity to look up.

The north city gate is located directly in front of their current location.

On the city gate in the distance, lights were lit up from left to right, and hundreds or thousands of soul-inducing lamps were lit one by one, illuminating a sky above the head.

There was an exclamation in the noisy crowd under the tall building, and then suddenly fell silent, almost everyone looked up to the direction of the city gate.

One step, two steps, one person, two people, dozens of people, hundreds of people, all raised their steps to approach the north.

Above the city gate, Fang Xiao, the commander of the forbidden army, stood on the city wall in military uniform. He was holding a jar of the most common bad wine in the army.
