In this life, I will drink the long wind

It is very strong, and it is the most suitable spirit to drive away the cold.

"Humble post Fang Xiao, I am entrusted by His Royal Highness Chen and Young Master Xun to pray here." A wind blew up, mixed with coolness that invaded the body, and the candle hidden under the lampshade flickered slightly, but it did not go out. Fang Xiao collected his thoughts, facing the lights of the city, raised the jug in his hand, sprinkled the wine on the ground, and said solemnly: "May the gods and Buddhas of the heavens guide me to conquer the heroic spirits in the west and find the way home."

Among the silent crowd, there were low weeping sounds.

Yes, even if a war is won, there will always be someone who will stay on that battlefield forever and never come back.

As if infected by this emotion, more and more sobs sounded faintly.

Someone left.

But it didn't take long to fold it back, and there was a small fluorescent lantern in his hand.

Yan Yu, who was in the crowd, watched the scene in front of him quietly. The gradually increasing candlelight lit up a small area as far as he could see, but it failed to bring him any warmth, and his heart was still dark. However, the warm candlelight shone on his heart and made him feel hopeless.

Am I really inferior to him?

"Ah Yu, let's light two lamps too." Standing beside Yan Yu, Lin Qing was also affected by the scene in front of him, and whispered while tugging at Yan Yu's sleeve.

"It's late at night, let's go back first." Yan Yu shook her head, seeing Lin Qing's surprised face, she knew that she had lost her composure, and forced herself to suppress the emotions that shouldn't be in her heart, raised her hand to support Lin Qing, gentle and He said solemnly, "It's already very late, even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to worry about the child in your womb."

Lin Qing couldn't help but blushed when she heard the words, she glanced at Yan Yu with some reproach, and said, "What's the matter? Anyway, they're all out now, so it's not too late."

Zhuqi Mountain Villa is located in the south. Lin Qing was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and she also has the softness and delicateness unique to Jiangnan women. Her appearance is not very beautiful, but her facial features are delicate, gentle like water, very quiet, not at all like those in the rivers and lakes. people.

At this time, Lin Qing, with a delicate expression on her face, was even more delicate and exquisite against the backdrop of the candlelight around her. She smiled, raised her hand to gently caress her stomach, and said with a smile: "Can you save money for the child in your belly?" A little blessing is also good."

Yan Yu looked at her, watched her every frown, smile, and every move, and all the negative emotions in her heart dissipated for no reason.

"Okay, I'll hold you, be careful."

Lin Qing smiled and nodded.

"There are not many people on this street anymore." Yan Yu looked around, looking for a shop to buy lamps, locked on the target, and walked over slowly hand in hand with Lin Qing, and said, "I will ask for an order to play again on another day, I hope it can be done for me. All the officers and men of Daxiang pray for blessings, after all, the living are more important."

"That's right, it's still Ayu who is thoughtful." Lin Qing agreed very much.

Inside the Baihua Building.

The performance of the three courtesans had ended, but the oiran selection was still going on, and the clamor was even louder than during the performance. The three names of Shaoyao, Qingmei, and Youlan were resounding one after another in the crowd.

But the two people on the top floor, their minds have already drifted away, and they are completely out of this matter. The doors and windows are closed tightly to isolate the noise downstairs.

The light in the room was shaking violently, it was Yan Chen, who was standing in front of the candle flame, holding the candle scissors in his hand, picked out the dancing lantern flowers, and then removed the excess candle wick inside.

"Is this what you kept from me before?"

Yao Lingyun sat, looked at Yan Chen's back and nodded. After a long while, he was a little bit out of his mind before realizing that the other party was facing away from him and was invisible. Yao Lingyun laughed unconsciously, faintly He hummed with a muffled smile.

Yan Chen, who was standing in front of the candlelight, heard the sound inexplicably, put down the candle scissors, and looked back with doubts on his face.

Yao Lingyun shook his head: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect the lights at night to be so brilliant."

Yan Chen stepped towards Yao Lingyun, sat down on the couch on the other side, and said: "The lights are so brilliant, I hope all the soldiers who have lost their souls on the battlefield can really find this light and return their souls to their hometowns."

"Yes." Yao Lingyun said the two words very firmly.

The two smiled at each other.

After a long silence, Yao Lingyun said again: "The current situation is so chaotic, there are so many people who want to fish in troubled waters, you and I have no ability or time to distinguish them one by one, but since there are people who want to fish in troubled waters, then we will simply drain the muddy water and drain it. Let's see how those who want to fish will do it."

Yan Chen shook his head: "It's clear and clear, so I won't do it again, how can a smart person not understand the principle of hiding?"

"It's not a bad thing." Yao Lingyun smiled, his eyes drooping slightly, under the dim candlelight, his eye feathers trembling slightly were like spreading butterfly wings, soft and harmless, and his voice was not as gentle as it used to be, He lowered his voice a little, and the words were like the sound of his heart, expressing Yan Chen's thoughts, "Next, there will be a long period of stability. The things you want to do, such as farming, mulberry and taxation, people's livelihood and water conservancy, can be taken advantage of. This opportunity is the first to start.”

Yan Chen thought for a moment, then nodded.

"The time has passed, and a new day has begun. You have perfectly fulfilled your promise. Do you want to go back to the palace, Your Highness?" When Yao Lingyun said this, not only did his voice sound lazily, but even his sitting posture was not very clear. Neatly, the whole person idly leaned on the couch, looking at Yan Chen with his head propped up.

Yan Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Shumu today, I will accompany you."

Yao Lingyun looked at him without blinking for a while, and then laughed: "Okay."

Seeing that the person didn't intend to stand up, Yan Chen couldn't help being puzzled: "Aren't you going back to the Prime Minister's mansion?"

"Stay here, I've never spent the night in a brothel before." After saying this, Yao Lingyun stopped talking, and regardless of Yan Chen's expression at the moment, he took a sip of the tea on the table for a long time , and then explained slowly, "Don't worry, no one else will come up except Aunt Lian, that is, the bustard. I have already instructed Aunt Lian."

After hearing his explanation, Yan Chen became even more surprised: "Are you familiar with this?"

Yao Lingyun raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Chen, a cunning flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand, handed over the teacup in his hand, slightly raised his eyebrows, and signaled Yan Chen to take a sip.

Although Yan Chen was puzzled, he still raised his hand to take the cup and took a sip.

Yao Lingyun took advantage of Yan Chen's drinking tea and said leisurely, "Of course I am familiar with it. This famous Baihua Building is my father's property."

"Pfft." The dignified, upright and dignified eldest prince Yan Chen took a sip of tea without holding back, he was choked, and of course he was even more frightened.

"what?"

Seeing this, Yao Lingyun laughed unceremoniously, the laughter was extremely unbridled, and he patted the table while laughing, without stopping for a while.

Yan Chen, who managed to stop his choking, couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the person from the opposite position into his arms. He already understood that Yao Lingyun did it on purpose just now. To express his dissatisfaction, Yan Chen Raising his hand to his face, it was a kneading revenge.

Yao Lingyun struggled and suppressed a smile, if Yan Chen was not hugging him right now, he might have rolled to the ground.He stopped his voice several times in the middle but failed to stop it. It took a long time before he barely stopped laughing, and he fell into Yan Chen's arms to pant.

After he recovered his breath, the two of them did not separate, they just squeezed together stickily.

At this time, Yao Lingyun explained with a little breathlessness: "Actually, there is no inside story. At first, it was just some miserable women and children whose homes were robbed and homeless. At that time, my father would save them, but he did it easily. Without thinking about it, I gave them some money and asked them to make a living by themselves, but who would have thought that later, many of them met with unkind people, and finally opened such a Baihualou by accident."

Although Yao Lingyun summed it up in just a few words, Yan Chen can still imagine the hardships and twists and turns.However, he was still a little surprised, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that someone as strict as Prime Minister Meng would have no objection to this."

"Father, what opinion does he have?" Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows, as it should be taken for granted, "All the girls here support themselves by their own ability, which is no different from most people outside, who think highly of themselves, but do nothing Many people have to be noble, and my father is just strict, not rigid."

"you're right."

"Perfunctory me?"

Yan Chen categorically denied it: "With Mr. Xun's piercing eyes, how dare I dare."

Yao Lingyun snorted twice, very naturally, and accepted the compliment with awe: "For you have vision."

Yan Chen stretched out a hand in front of his eyes without hesitation.

Yao Lingyun was puzzled, raised his eyes to look at Yan Chen, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't Mr. Cai be praised just now?" Yan Chen was also puzzled, and blinked, "Since I have been praised, I should reward it?"

"Bold." Yao Lingyun's face turned cold when he heard the words, and he wanted to get up, but he was pulled back by Yan Chen when he was halfway upright, and the power he wanted to accumulate was gone. Looking serious, he said solemnly, "My lord has always offered rewards without cost. A compliment for such a deed is already a reward. You actually want a material reward?"

"Can't you?" Yan Chen asked, raising his hand to scratch his itchy flesh.

"Of course not." Yao Lingyun suppressed a smile, but in the end he couldn't hold it back.

The two of them messed around for a while, Yao Lingyun, who was nestled in Yan Chen's arms, suddenly put away his foolish look, and said seriously: "The scientific examination is coming soon, after tomorrow, don't call me to enter the palace to accompany you, even if you call I would also refuse."

"En." Yan Chen embraced him and nodded, and asked in a low voice: "The target champion?"

"Must." Confident, calm, smiling Yanyan.

☆, Murong Huai

In late autumn, the night wind is cold, and the autumn frost is cold.

This year's autumn is extraordinarily colder than previous years, especially on August [-]th, when the running water is not frozen, the sky is about to snow.

Perhaps it was because everyone was out for the fireworks display last night, so there were very few pedestrians on Linglong Street tonight, and it was unusually deserted.

There is nothing in this world that can stop people from going out more than the cold weather, even the young master Murong Huai who usually goes out every day and rarely sees him last time in January is no exception.

On this day, Mr. Murong did not leave Wanghualou, he even paid out his wallet and left his own restaurant in good spirits.

A jug of wine, a wooden table by the window, two white porcelain wine glasses, and a small red clay stove.Facing Linglong Street so contentedly, he took the greengage that was dried last year and cooked the wine in an orderly manner.

What was burning in the small red clay furnace was specially brought back by Murong Huai from the top of Mount Tai this summer. The dried small pine cones could be heard with a slight crackling sound as the fire jumped, and the unique fragrance of the pine wood followed. It radiates out, together with the ever-overflowing green plum wine aroma, it smells very pleasant, very elegant, and very comfortable.

There was a bright moon, the ground was full of silver frost, and it was already the time when the moon was in the mid-heaven. Linglong Street, which had only a few pedestrians, was even more deserted at this time, and no pedestrians passed by for a long time.

Murong Huai sat idly, pouring himself a pot, raising a glass to drink, resting his chin with one hand, looking at the empty street, feeling very relaxed.

After a long time, a figure suddenly appeared in Murong Huai's sight, dressed in brocade and purple, with picturesque eyebrows, very seductive.

Murong Huai was startled for a moment, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but pause, then raised his brows lightly, and laughed, his undisguised eyes just swept over so bluntly.

The person walking on the street was none other than Yan Xu.

Yan Xu, who was very bored in the mansion, simply left the mansion alone, walked all the way, and walked through Linglong Street unknowingly, and came to Wanghualou.

Sensing his gaze, Yan Xu raised his head, and the smiling Murong Huai directly met his eyes, and the other party even raised his wine glass at him.

The corners of Murong Huai's lips curled up, and the smile on his face deepened, and he said: "It's cold and dew heavy, this young master, is he quite free?"

Who knows Mr. Murong in Wanghualou in the whole east?

Yan Xu naturally knew about him, he tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have leisure time, but I don't have leisure time, what's your opinion, young master?"

Murong Huai raised the wine glass in his hand again, and said in a rambling voice: "There is no high opinion, but there is wine, and there is also leisure."

Yan Xu shook his head: "Alcohol can neither relieve sorrow nor forget sorrow. It is not suitable for me... Young Master."

Murong Huai also shook his head, disapproving: "I don't drink wine to relieve worries and forget worries." After a pause, a touch of free and easy color appeared, and continued in a loud voice, "When the moon is clear and the wind is clear, you can become white."

Yan Xu heard the words, and asked back: "There is no reason, don't ask the result?"

Murong Huai smiled: "Life is too short, why be obsessed with cause and effect?"

Interesting, Yan Xu looked at Murong Huai's eyes with a flash of curiosity, chuckled, and said, "If that's the case, then this glass of wine will be worthy of Mr. Lao."

Murong Huai raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him, and made an invitation: "So, can you please go upstairs to tell me?"

Yan Xu didn't say a word, and walked directly into Wanghualou.Waving his hand to reject Xiao Er's guidance, he climbed up the stairs, and his vision instantly widened.

The fragrance of rosin and plum is hidden under the gentle aroma of the wine. All the troubles in the world seem to dissipate in this wine rhyme, leaving the mind relaxed and happy.

Yan Xu took a deep breath, sighed and sighed, "Young Master Murong really enjoys it."

Murong Huai smiled when he heard the words, without moving his eyes, still staring at the small stove in front of him, he only raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, motioning for people to sit down.

Yan Xu didn't care, and went straight to sit down.

Time passed in silence.

After a long time, the mist was lingering and the aroma of the wine was wafting. It was the wine that had boiled.

Picking up his sleeves, holding the pot, and then slowly pouring the freshly boiled green plum wine into the porcelain cup in front of him, Murong Huai's movements are smooth and flowing, which is pleasing to the eye.

The scent of clear wine spreads, stronger than before.

"I heard that a good winemaker will collect the snow from the red plums after the first snow every year, saying that the wine brewed in that way will have the vastness and distance of the nine heavens." Murong Huai Raising his hand and pushing the wine glass towards Yan Xu, Tao Hua had a careless smile in his eyes, and said meaninglessly, "Life is like a fleeting moment, if you can't enjoy it, wouldn't it be boring?"

Yan Xu raised his hand to raise his glass, sniffed lightly, and a smile rose from the corners of his lips, and instantly climbed to the corners of his eyes: "What is fun, and what is enjoyment? Everyone has their own opinions, so we can't generalize." After taking a sip of the wine, he said, "Not bad."

"Naturally, you can't generalize." Murong Huai seemed to pick up the conversation casually, then changed the subject, raised his eyebrows slightly, a little laid-back and a little arrogant, "But, if you find it interesting and enjoyable, and what others think and think, What have you got to do with me?"

Perhaps it was because of today's weather, or just because the person in front of him was Murong Huai, the famous Murong Huai in the capital, and Yan Xu, who always kept a low profile and pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, unexpectedly became interested in debating.

Put the glass down, lean back, and show your sharpness.

"My son is a man of temperament, but in my opinion, whether you care about other people's eyes is just a way of life, and there is no difference in essence, but the latter sounds more noble than the former."

"Qing Gao?" Murong Huai repeated the two words as if asking rhetorically, then shook his head and said with a smile, "I haven't thought about it that way, but I think the latter is more comfortable than the former."

Murong Huai squeezed the cup in his hand, looked at Yan Xu with a half-smile, and as if he was looking through the surface of him, looking at the him lurking deep in his heart, his knuckles slightly bent, and unconsciously buckled The edge of the cup continued: "Or in other words, live more like yourself."

Yan Xu lowered his head and looked at the fire in front of him very seriously, as if there was some important information hidden in the flickering fire in front of him.

After a long time, he seemed to realize that he pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "Sir, you can live alone in a corner and enjoy yourself alone. It's really enviable. It's a pity that there are many ordinary people in this world."

"Oh?" Murong Huai picked it up casually, and the cup he had been playing with for a long time was finally brought to his mouth. He took a sip, raised his eyes slightly, and joked: "In this way, the one hundred thousand Hongchen soft tent, eight thousand Great rivers and mountains, the young master must... also be unable to escape, right?"

The wind itself blows the clothes sideways, swirls softly, blows across the long street, blows over the window eaves, blows away the lingering fragrance of alcohol lingering in the nose, and rolls the white mist away from the hip flask.

Yan Xu smiled, in a real sense, the expression between his brows was like the hem of his clothes, unstoppably flying up: "Why do you want to run away from what your heart thinks and what God wants?"

"I don't think so, so this is what your heart is all about?" Murong Huai put down the wine glass in his hand, clapped his palms and smiled, but within a moment, he regained his composure, his brows frowning, "Fourth Young Master has such a big heart."

As Yan Xu himself said, some experiments in life must be done, and some gambles are inevitable.

And his luck has always been good.

Yan Xu poured himself a pot, every move was more elegant than a scribe, and he said lazily: "The country is infinite, which man does not study literature and martial arts to guide the country? This is just an ordinary thing, there is no reason, It doesn’t have to be a result.”

Murong Huai narrowed his eyes and smiled, and asked meaningfully: "You say this to everyone you meet?"

An unprecedented hatred flashed across Yan Xu's eyes, and the faint wind and rain disappeared with a smile.

Lifting the jug still in his hand, he said, "Do you buy this wine every time you meet?"

Murong Huai was obviously taken aback, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha."

"It would be a pity if a born genius like Mr. Murong didn't point out the country and ride horses and go about doing nothing like he is doing now." Yan Xu raised his cup as a gesture, and then downed it in one gulp.

Murong Huai poured wine from the pot, and took advantage of the opportunity to fill Yan Xu's glass, with a smile on his flirtatious eyebrows, which made Yan Xu feel a little dazzling under the dim candlelight.

After a long time, Murong Huai finally opened his mouth and said, "My lord, you are absurd."

"Will it be?" With two words and a question, Yan Xu said it gently, just like the night wind in late autumn, warm even after being cold.

"nature."

Yan Xu smiled.

Murong Huai looked at the young man in sight, raised the corners of his lips, and slightly revealed two small canine teeth. Mingming is not too young, but this smile is more innocent and cute than a child. It is better to say that it is a youth. It is more appropriate to say that it is a teenager.

"Live and work in peace, have no desires, no desires, such a reclusive demeanor is really enviable, but..." Yan Xu put his hands on his forehead, tilted his head halfway, his long tied hair drooped down, half covering his side face, A pair of clear eyes, even in a dim environment, can clearly see through to the end, "It's really hard for people to apply this kind of quality to Mr. Murong, who is famous all over the world."

Seeing this, Murong Huai also stretched out one hand to lean on his chin, and gently placed the other hand on the edge of the white porcelain cup, tapping rhythmically, both in his eyes and in his tone. A corner, no matter how famous it is, how can it be compared with the court." After a short pause, Murong Huai glanced at Yan Xu, and continued, "On par with the imperial family's heart and mind?"

"Then..." Yan Xu raised his wine glass, "To Jianghu?"

Murong Huai raised his cup and bumped against it, saying: "Respect the royal family!"

☆, Qionghua Banquet

The lights are on.

In the imperial garden, the lights were brightly lit, and there were endless voices.

Glazed lamps, golden lamps, cups of toasts interlaced, and the shadows of the lamps swaying.

The sumptuous food and the graceful music were all ignored, and almost everyone surrounded Yao Lingyun with cups of wine in their hands.

After toasting and drinking, after saying congratulatory words, exit, find another two people, continue to toast and drink, congratulations, and then circle back to Yao Lingyun again.

After drinking a glass of wine, they let it go even more openly. The laughter of the crowd was mixed with the sound of music, which was quite harmonious, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

Everyone was very happy, except Yao Lingyun.

Because he has been drunk for a whole night, but the people around him have not decreased at all. That Ruan Shangshu over there, you have already toasted three times, why are you still here!

Yao Lingyun, who was a little dizzy, had an amazing memory and judgment.

Two days ago, the triennial imperial examination in Daxiang just came to an end.

As expected, the candidate for the champion of the new division is Yao Xun, the number one talented scholar in the world.

After the official announcement of the list, Yao Lingyun has been busy.Thank you for accepting the gift, ride a horse and walk through the street, finally free up some leisure time, and it's time for the imperial court to enjoy the banquet again.

He didn't have enough rest, so he had to bite the bullet and enter the palace, accept the reward with a smile, and thank God for his grace.

The eldest prince Yan Chen slightly raised his hand to signal the completion of the ceremony.

After the banquet started, Yao Lingyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. All the courtiers present were basically people he knew. In his own words, he belonged to a clear camp, and there was no need for them to courteously. He just needed to keep a low profile. There are two other new entrants at No. [-] and No. [-]. I think they can be lazy in silence after coming here.

Just when he thought he could finally rest, the fourth prince Yan Xu got up suddenly, held a cup to toast and said: "Mr. Xun is knowledgeable and really outstanding. He really deserves to be a role model for us. This cup is my respect to you."

The emperor said so, how could Yao Lingyun refuse?No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he still had to get up quickly in action, and said politely with a smile: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, deserves the award, and I dare not be ashamed, please."

"My lord is humble, as my prince said just now, if you don't even dare to be a lord Xun, then who else in the world can afford it?" Yan Xu tilted his head slightly, with a familiar expression on his Qingjun face. , with a pleasing smile, with a casual elegance and elegance all over his body, his eyes slowly swept across the people present, and he said humbly, "My lords, do you think so?"

"Your Majesty's statement is true."

"Indeed."

"I have always admired Mr. Xun for his outstanding talents."

"Xun Gongzi is really a model for young people in the world."

"Young Master Xun, please be sure to drink this cup with me."

"This officer is also."

"I'm looking for your son, please."

……

Half a quarter ago, Yao Lingyun would never have imagined that he would be dragged by a group of officials and poured alcohol one cup at a time like he is now.

Thinking of this, Yao Lingyun looked sideways, through the gap in the crowd, and looked at Yan Xu who was sitting opposite. If he hadn't raised his head, the others wouldn't have rushed forward like this.

Sensing Yao Lingyun's gaze, Yan Xu raised his glass from afar, squinted his eyes and smiled, obediently and quietly.But in Yao Lingyun's eyes, he was just like a little fox.

Hey, Mr. Ruan, why are you here again?There are only three things, don't go too far!Are the No. [-] and No. [-] picks over there still waiting for you?

Of course, Yao Lingyun had no chance to say these words.

The eloquent Mr. Xun was completely deprived of the right to speak that night, and he just opened his mouth to drink.

Standing outside the center of the vortex, No. [-] and Tanhua looked at each other silently and smiled helplessly when they saw such a scene.

It's just that there was a hint of interest hidden in Tan Hualang's eyes.

Tanhualang for this scientific expedition was one of the scholars that Yao Lingyun met in Wanghualou that day.

Yan Qing, a scholar who has long been fascinated by Mr. Murong.

Before the scientific expedition, he still wanted to meet the rumored character, so such a person was naturally very interested in the famous Mr. Xun.

When Yan Qing knew that Yao Lingyun was Yao Xun, he was also taken aback. Fortunately, his mental quality was strong and he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot. As for Yao Lingyun, he couldn't do it anymore. Qing blinked his right eye.

Taking advantage of the gap before going to the hall, the two talked for a while, and from Yanqing's mouth, Yao Lingyun learned that Shen Chongzhi, whom he admired a lot at that time, was also among the second-class Jinshi.

As for Ye Xingfeng, they never saw him again after that day.For this follow-up, Yao Lingyun was surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised.

The singing was intoxicating, and the wine was flying. When everyone's wine was getting stronger, Fu An, the former chief of the inner court who had been following Emperor Qi, suddenly came from a distance with several eunuchs holding pure wooden trays.

After all, the officials present are all pillars of the court and know how to behave. Although they were drinking a little too much at this time, they calmed down for the first time, retreated to the side, and made way for the passage. Get up and get ready to welcome.

But Fu An quietly shook his head at Yan Chen, approached with a smile, and saluted Yan Chen.

There was a moment of surprise in Yan Chen's heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, he slightly raised his hand and said: "Please, father-in-law."

Yan Chen's gaze swept across Fu An's back slowly, stepped down from the main seat to Fu An's front, and said again, "I don't know if the emperor's body is okay recently?"

"His Majesty is concerned. His Majesty's body has been relatively stable recently, and he can occasionally get up and take a walk. Today is also the time to get up and go for a walk after dinner. I saw the bright lights here from a distance, so I knew that tonight It's the Qionglin Banquet." Fu An smiled, turned around, looked at the three of them one by one, and then raised his hand to signal the brushes on the wooden tray held by the eunuchs behind him Said, "Your Majesty specially ordered this old slave to send it to the three of you. I hope that you will do your best to serve Daxiang and the people."

The three of them walked out one after another, knelt down and thanked each other.

After Fu An handed over the imperial pens bestowed by Emperor Qi to the three of them one by one, he stood in front of Yao Lingyun and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty also asked me to bring a word to Mr. Xun. Does Mr. Xun still remember the agreement?"

Hearing this, Yao Lingyun was startled for a moment, and his head, which had been a little dizzy from being poured, also woke up in an instant. The Emperor Qi was not here, so Yao Lingyun couldn't detect any clues from Fu An's face.

Why did Emperor Keqi suddenly mention the agreement of the year at this time?Was it Ah Chen's recent actions that caused His Majesty's dissatisfaction?Impossible, as soon as this idea came up, Yao Lingyun overthrew it immediately. He has confidence in Yan Chen, and he also has absolute confidence in his own vision. Furthermore, from the fact that Eunuch Fu just exempted Yan Chen from greeting and saluting Look, it is also impossible, there is only one conclusion, and His Majesty has finally made up his mind.

Yao Lingyun blinked.

Perhaps because of drinking too much, his eyes opened and closed very slowly, just like the mood of the onlookers present at this moment, three autumns in a moment.

After a while, Yao Lingyun said slowly, "I have never forgotten it, and I will never forget it in the future." After a pause, he smiled suddenly, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn and gentle. He added without thinking, "I will not be disappointed, and I believe His Majesty will not be disappointed either."

Fu An stepped forward to help Yao Lingyun up, and motioned for the No. [-] and Tanhua who knelt together to stand up together, nodded to Yao Lingyun and said: "If you are looking for the son, I will definitely not miss a single word, and bring it to His Majesty the Emperor himself." .”

Yao Lingyun nodded.

"It's almost winter, please tell your majesty to take care of your health."

"Of course, the son has a heart."

After finishing speaking, Fu An turned his head and bowed to Yan Chen: "The gift has been delivered, and the servant will leave first."

Yan Chen withdrew his gaze from Yao Lingyun, nodded and said, "Elder-in-law, please."

With Fu An gone, the Qionglin Banquet resumed its hustle and bustle.It's just that at this moment, everyone stopped toasting around Yao Lingyun, chatting left and right, talking and laughing at Yanyan.

There were three lines of sight, and he was staring at Yao Lingyun thoughtfully.

One of them came from Ning Wang Yanxiao, but he quickly moved away and landed on Yao Mengxuan who was beside him. Seeing him talking to the person sitting next to him with a smile, he was obviously in a very happy mood.

The son of a general, the number one scholar in the prime minister's family is indeed something to be happy about, huh.

Yan Yu withdrew her gaze from Yao Lingyun, and played with the emerald jade finger on her left thumb, thoughtfully, but Fu An's shaking of his head just now, coupled with the agreement with Yao Lingyun that his father suddenly mentioned, made Yan Yu Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Has the royal father already made a decision?

When the moon was in the sky, Yao Lingyun quietly got up and left the table when no one was paying attention.

Yao Lingyun, who left his seat, didn't go far, but came to the atrium, intending to stand for a while to sober up and go back.

It is the end of autumn, and the cold winter is approaching, and the wind that hits the face is cold and biting.

In the center of the atrium, there is a red plum tree, which has not yet entered winter, so in the current scene, there are no red plum trees, only dead branches.When the wind blows, the branches crackle, which is not interesting.

Interesting.

Yao Lingyun was enjoying himself when there were subtle footsteps behind him.

Looking back, seeing the person coming, although he was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised, bowed slightly and said: "Fourth Highness."

Yan Xu stepped forward with a smile, and said with great concern, "Young Master Xun, are you alright?"

Yao Lingyun also smiled and replied, "Thanks to Your Highness."

Yan Xu felt very relieved: "It is indeed thanks to the prince that he was not forced into unconsciousness."

Yao Lingyun also felt the same way, and nodded, "I'm only dizzy, and my footsteps are sloppy, it's really thanks to Your Highness."

The night is cold and autumnal.

The two people with different looks stand opposite each other, and they both have smiles on their faces. They are very harmonious, if you ignore the words in their mouths.

"My prince's blessing is not something everyone can bear, even Mr. Xun, you are no exception." The smile lines on Yan Xu's face gradually faded, and the distressed expression silently emerged, "And I really can't bear to break it." In exchange for looking for your blessing, son, why don't you tell me what agreement you have with the emperor."

Hearing the words, Yao Lingyun showed a distressed expression in a very face-saving manner, and then, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and said: "I have made an agreement with your majesty, then it means that you are blessed by your majesty, and you are blessed by your majesty." Support, and bear some more of your Highness's blessing, I think there is no problem, but Xun still thank Your Highness for your concern."

At this time, Yan Xu seemed to be unable to hold back his face at last, and glanced at Yao Lingyun coldly, without saying a word, then snorted coldly: "How can you bear the blessing of the emperor?"

"Whether you can bear it or not, since His Majesty bestowed it on me, even if Yao Xun is smashed to pieces, he will not be able to throw him away." Yao Lingyun said in a soft, melodious voice, which is very pleasant to listen to.

Knowing that he would not tell him, Yan Xu was not in a hurry, he was not so eager to know what the father and Yao Lingyun had agreed on.He is different from others, he has plenty of time, he can afford to wait.

All human hopes are hidden in waiting. As long as you are willing to pay and wait, hope will come sooner or later.

So he is in no hurry.

The reason why he stands here is just to comply with the first thought in his heart, to do whatever he wants, the fourth prince who is loved by everyone has always been like this, isn't it?

"If you don't tell me to pull it off, I'll ask my father another day." Yan Xu put on an expression that I also want to make an agreement with my father, then let out another cold snort, and left in a huff.

Yao Lingyun watched Yan Xu's leaving figure thoughtfully.

"Young Master Xun is really very elegant. I don't want to reward you with flowers and wine, but I come here to admire these bare branches."

One just left and another came, just wanting a moment of peace, when did it become so difficult?Yao Lingyun sighed inwardly, but he still turned around and said with a smile, "Aren't you the same?"

Yan Qing walked over step by step, unhurried, leisurely, stopped a few steps away from Yao Lingyun, and said with a casual smile: "The banquet of the chief corner is well-regulated, and it is always more relaxed than getting along in private. "

Yao Lingyun was noncommittal, smiled, and said, "Unrestrained, Lord Yan is so kind."

"Hey." Yan Qing raised his hand to stop it, "My lord's yelling is too early, I really don't dare to accept it."

Having said that, Ke Yanqing had a smile on his face, and his voice was not hurried or slow, and he could not hear the slightest hint of fear.

Yao Lingyun turned his head to look at him, and didn't bother to entangle with him on these details, so he followed the other party's topic, pretending to be puzzled and asked with a smile: "Will it be early?"

The two stood a few feet apart, facing each other, with faint smiles on their faces.There is a wind blowing, mixed with a lot of coolness, the surrounding is very quiet, and the sound of laughter from a distance can be faintly heard.

Before anyone could answer, Yao Lingyun looked at the other party up and down, and continued to talk eloquently: "Scholar is too pedantic, which is very inconsistent with the young master's open-minded personality, while a knight is too bold, which does not match the young master's refined image. , so after much deliberation, I finally feel that only this sir is the most suitable for Your Excellency."
