Drunken Exquisiteness

In summer, the sky gradually disappeared by the edge of a dim cloud, and the night fell, and the curtain was half-rolled under the carved window, sending in the cool breeze through the green yarn. Qing Chen put away the pen and paper on the case and turned to look out the window.

Across the moonlight, the lights on Xianyu Lake seemed to float far away. The palace of King Cham is very lively today, because it is the birthday of King Cham, the guests are all royal family members, and the palace is very busy. Qing Chen celebrated Ye Tianzhan's birthday early in the morning, and until dusk, the banquet in the lake was about to stop, and he sent a message up and down to wait for the kings to arrive. Qing Chen was not a member of the house, nor was he familiar with the cumbersome rules. At this time, he was happy and leisurely, and went back to the room alone to read and practice calligraphy, unconsciously the night was getting darker.

The fragrance of flowers in front of the court is intoxicating time. The fragrance of cinnamon is strong and sometimes light, full of breeze, full of branches and leaf pavilions, like a cover, a bustling light shadow. Qing Chen loved this whirling flower tree and couldn't help but get up and walk out. A crescent moon in the night sky, boundless and clear, surrounded by tranquility like a dream, as if you could hear the osmanthus flowers blooming quietly in the depths of the night, and the wind passed the treetops and lingered.

For some reason, every time she looked up at the night sky, she felt that there was another world in the depths of the sky, which originally belonged to her. However, day after day, sometimes, in a trance, I will feel that everything in front of me is so naturally familiar, everyone and everything, familiar to the heart and joy.

This kind of contradictory mood often appears, strange and inexplicable, even I can't explain it. She could think of it for a while, and stood alone under the tree in a daze. Suddenly, she felt something sway from her face. She was taken aback. Before turning her head, she heard a hearty laughter. She saw Ye Tianli lazily propping up the tree with her hands, throwing a cut flower branch over, and asked with a smile: "What do you think? , And then I will fly to the moon and become a fairy."

After these days, Qing Chen has become quite familiar with him, knowing that he has a natural escape, the most is not to be trivial, not deliberately formal, and said: "You are not staying in Ningcuiting, why come here?"

Ye Tian raised his eyebrows, with a cynical look: "What's the point of Ningcuiting? My father is in good spirits today, and he got up with the prince in the palace. Everyone is making rules in front of the imperial palace and is so bored. Brother Seven said to come and find you, tomorrow I will go to Kunlun Garden, would you like to come together?"

Qing Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's see the injured white horse with you. I saw it hurt much better last time."

Ye Tianli said, "I was still thinking about it. I told you earlier that Yun Cheng is a BMW from the Western Turks. He has a fierce temper."

Qing Chen held the flower branch and walked with him, saying: "I don't think it is because you always want to tame it that makes it uncomfortable. Last time it was hurt by the horse trainer with a tripping horse, so I applied it to it. I never resisted, and I was willing to eat from me several times later."

Ye Tian said sharply, "Hmph, I forgot if you didn't tell me about it, those minions couldn't tame Yun Cheng, so they dared to hurt it with a stumbling horse, and if I bump into it, they stripped them on the spot!"

Qing Chen glanced at him: "The first king of heaven."

Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Lord, this is my temper! Go, and accompany me to find Seventh Brother's good wine. The best wine in King Zhan's Mansion is the self-brewed Hanli wine in the mansion. It's all pretty bad."

When I mentioned that Hanlijiu Qingchen immediately felt a fever on his face, and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know how to drink, you don't know."

Ye Tianli didn't care, and dragged her away: "I don't want you to drink with me, I want you to steal wine with me!"

Qing Chen listened to him interestingly, and laughed and teased: "Dignified heavenly prince, what good wine is not you drink, so I want to be a wine thief in the dark?"

"Books must be borrowed and cannot be read, wine must be stolen and cannot be drunk. The stolen wine is particularly fragrant. If you don't believe it, you can try it for a while." Ye Tian smiled violently, where he looked like a prince. He was familiar with the palace of Zhan, and walked in a quiet place with light steps, but he didn't meet anyone all the way.

The shadows of the flowers were heavy, and the two turned to the corner of the flower wall, and suddenly heard footsteps from the opposite side. The sound was chaotic and anxious, coming extremely fast, Ye Tianli heard the sound and stretched out his hand to drag Qing Chen away, but a few people hurriedly turned out over there. At present, one person was walking in a hurry, and he ran into Qing Chen unpreparedly.

Qing Chen didn't expect someone to be so reckless. He staggered a few steps back and almost fell. Fortunately, Ye Tianli was beside him in time to help. Before he could see the person, the other party already shouted angrily: "Bastard! Are you blind?"

Qing Chen didn't say anything when he heard the rude words, but Feng's eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at the people indifferently. The person didn't see Ye Tianli standing in the shadow of the lantern for a while, only when Qing Chen was the maid in the palace of Zhan, seeing her neither polite nor talking, his heart became angry, and he raised his hand and slapped her face.

"Brother Sanhuang!" The two next to him stopped by appointment, Ye Tianli stepped in front of Qing Chen, but Ye Tianzhan stopped the man. It turned out that the person who had collided with Qing Chen was full of compatriots with the current prince and the third prince Ye Tianji, who is now named the king of Ji.

Ye Tianzhan stayed with King Ji, his expression warm as usual, but he looked a little anxious when he looked closely, and turned to ask Qing Chen, "Is it all right?"

Qing Chen heard that he was called Brother Three Emperors, and knew who the person was. It was not a disappointing day today, so he shook his head gently and gave King Ji a silent blessing, which was regarded as an apologetic.

King Ji was puzzled and disciplined a maid, not wanting both younger brothers to stop him. Looking at Qing Chen again, she saw that her expression was faint, and she was not very clear in the night. Her face was vaguely ordinary in a white dress and plain, but her brows and eyes had an unyielding high cleanliness. The other side wanted to talk to each other, and a noisy group of people rushed over. At first, someone was holding a comatose child, and several female officials followed, in a hurry. This child was the only son of King Ji, Yuan Ting, who had just sneaked out of the banquet to play on his own, and somehow fainted. King Ji and the others hurried over when they heard about this.

Seeing his son's appearance, King Ji couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly shouted to the people around him: "Where is the imperial doctor, why haven't he arrived yet?"

Ye Tianzhan persuaded: "The emperor's brother is not impatient, he has already passed on to the imperial doctor."

Ye Tian saw Yuan Ting's breathing fast, and his body kept twitching. It seemed that the situation was not very good. He whispered to Qing Chen, "This is the youngest son of the Three Emperor Brothers' mansion. The Emperor Brother must have been anxious just now, so don't worry about it. on."

Qing Chen smiled at him and said it was okay, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Ting, a little surprised: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Tianli asked.

"It seems to be the suffocation caused by the poison." Seeing that the imperial doctor had not arrived, Qing Chen couldn't help but gently pull Ye Tianzhan, "Let me see."

Ye Tianzhan remembered that Qing Chen was well versed in medicine, and turned her sideways to close her. Qing Chen checked Yuan Ting's situation with the light on, and after a while, her eyebrows were slightly tightened, and she turned to Ye Tianzhan and said, "I'm afraid I've encountered a poisonous insect, so I must quickly try to get rid of the poison, otherwise it will be very dangerous." He untied Yuan Ting's clothes and inspected carefully, and he found a red and swollen wound on his forearm, and there were tiny blisters on the skin around him, which looked terrifying.

Ye Tianzhan was watching, his complexion changed slightly, and he whispered to the attendant: "Send someone to urge the imperial doctor again, hurry!"

Qing Chen untied the hair band and took out the silver needle from her arms. While instructing the female officer to lie down holding Yuan Ting, she quickly wrapped her hair band over his arm and took the needle in her hand.

"What are you doing!" King Ji stopped him when he saw this, and said angrily, "You are so brave, how dare to use needles on the world's son at will."

Qing Chen frowned, did not refute, only raised his eyes to Ye Tianzhan. Ye Tianzhan glanced at her and said to King Ji: "I'm afraid that the imperial doctor will not come so soon. Yuan Ting's life is critical. The emperor may believe her. I am responsible for the people in my house."

Although Wang Ji was skeptical, he listened to his persuasion to let go and looked at Qing Chen and said, "If there is anything wrong, take care of your life."

Qing Chen didn't answer, but said to Ye Tianzhan: "Trouble the lord to ask someone to prepare clean water immediately, as well as honey, moxa, realgar, musk, and Qingdai."

Without waiting for Ye Tianzhan's order, the attendant next to him ran to do it. Qing Chen used silver needles to **** acupuncture points and counted down. Yuan Ting's breathing temporarily slowed down and his body no longer convulsed. The maids of the palace came in a hurry holding things. Qing Chen ordered the maid to feed Yuan Ting a drink of honey, and then take the moxa warm needle to remove the poison. After the blisters disappeared, he mixed realgar, musk and other drugs for treatment. After some treatment, Yuan Ting's complexion slowed down, and it was no longer as shocking as before.

At this time, the imperial physician in the palace hurriedly arrived, Qing Chen confessed a few words, and then stepped aside. The female officials gathered around and moved Yuan Ting to the nearby room. After the doctor’s consultation, they wiped off their sweat, and said to King Ji: “Fortunately, the young man’s arm was bitten by a poisonous insect. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. Otherwise, The son is young and weak, and it will be dangerous later."

Seeing that Yuan Ting was no longer in serious trouble, Qing Chen quietly got up and left with the imperial doctor beside him. Ye Tianli raised his eyes and saw that he wanted to call her, but when he saw that Ye Tianzhan had turned around and followed, he smiled and gave up.

The night breeze brought the damp smell of the lake water, which diminished the flustered atmosphere a bit. Qing Chen turned back when he heard the footsteps, and saw Ye Tianzhan looking at him with a smile, his eyes soft and gentle in the night, and he smiled slightly at him.

Ye Tianzhan walked closer and said: "I really want to thank you today, what happened to Yuan Tingruo in my house, I really can't explain it to Brother Sanhuang."

Qing Chen said: "The detoxification method was what I saw when Yanbo sent Shuangzhai's medical books. If you must thank you, you should thank you for collecting so many good books."

Ye Tianzhan said: "The sword is given to martyrs, and the beautiful jade is given to beautiful women. I don't often read those medical books. It's a pity to leave them unused. How about giving it to you? It's a good use of everything."

Qing Chen smiled and said: "The birthday person gave me a big gift today. How can this be true?"

Ye Tianzhan raised his lips and smiled. He looked very happy. He was about to say something, but he saw Qin Yue trot over and leaned over and said, "His Royal Highness, the emperor has heard about the youngest son, and wants to see Miss Feng."

Midnight on the moon, the lake breeze fills the noodles.

The attendant set up a line of glazed lanterns winding along the corridor of Xianyu Lake. Under the bright and dizzying lights, Qing Chen's white clothes and snow are flowing with the wind, and the blue shirts against the blue sky and the night sky are fascinating. From a distance, a pair of people seems to come from the green leaf and lotus color. The handsome face, clear and elegant, made people feel suspicious.

King Ji and the others had come first, and were replying to the Emperor of Heaven. The bright lights in the Ningcui pavilion are decorated, and the counter seats are arranged according to the priority. The amber light of the jade cup and the golden cup are all elegant and elegant. With a smile in Ye Tianzhan's eyes, he personally guided Qing Chen into it, and said, "Father, this is Miss Feng."

Hearing what he said, Qing Chen knew that this old man in a long gown with a cloud and blue dragon pattern was the emperor today. Before he could see the others around him clearly, he felt a deep gaze cast directly into his eyes.

At this moment, there was an awe-inspiring feeling in his heart. Qing Chen's eyebrows lightly twitched, and his clothes bowed, and a majestic and steady voice sounded in his ear: "No. I just heard people say that you have cured my emperor. Sun?"

Qing Chen thanked her and stood up and replied: "Back to your Majesty, yes."

She took advantage of the gap to look forward, and the Emperor of Heaven was sitting next to the Prince of the East Palace, Ye Tianhao, with a cloud-colored long gown and purple ribbon, her face was as white as beautiful jade, and her body was gentle and elegant in the temperature of a scroll. He sat extremely quietly, but he possessed the noble temperament that the night could hardly conceal. If the Emperor of Heaven is a stern majesty that people dare not disobey, he is a noble and undaunted dust.

"Well, yes," the Emperor of Heaven nodded, "I heard that you are the witness of the Tianwu Zuifang case?"

Qing Chen lowered his eyes and said: "Yes."

There was silence in front of him, and Qing Chen felt that the emperor was looking at him. After a while, the majestic voice sounded again: "I watched the memorial of Dali Temple today. The case of Tianwu Zuifang should be closed. Before the case is closed, I want to hear with my own ears what the person involved is saying."

Almost instantly, several eyes fell on Qing Chen. Qing Chen also knew at this time that the Emperor of Heaven summoned himself not just because of the prince of Ji, but it seemed that the case of the Tianwu Zuifang did involve so much that the Emperor of Heaven would intervene personally. In the moment of silence, the conversation between Yin Jianzheng and Ye Tianzhan flashed in her mind, but she did not dare to hesitate any more, and said Xu: "If it were not for your Majesty Shengming, Qing Chen now doesn't know where to live, how hard she has suffered, in her own heart Said, I can’t wait to punish all the people involved in the case severely. It’s not an exaggeration to beheaded. But punishing evil, promoting good, and governing the people are the fundamentals. Therefore, thunder and rain are all graces."

At this moment, the voice fell, the Emperor of Heaven moved his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Oh? I would like to hear, what is the root?"

Qing Chen bowed his head and said: "The root of the country is the people, and the root of the dynasty is the official."

The Emperor of Heaven continued: "What's the explanation for this case?"

Qing Chen said: "If the country is damaged, the officials will be corrupt, and if the country is damaged, the people will be corrupted. The balance of all parties is a victory."

"It's a good balance of all parties, raise your head and let me have a look." The Emperor's tone raised slightly, but he couldn't hear the happiness or anger at all. Qing Chen raised his head when he heard the words, and quietly turned to the God's eyes.

A pair of extremely deep eyes seems to be able to contain all emotions. The joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are gone here, dripping water, and then there is a condescending solemnity and majesty. She looked at the emperor with some curiosity, without evasion or fear under her indifferent expression, the same calm and unwavering.

Looking at each other like this is already offensive to Tianyan, the Emperor seems to have deliberately not said a word, and Qing Chen never lowered his eyes. Ye Tianzhan's eyebrows clenched extremely lightly, before he was about to speak, the prince was already on the sidelines: "Father, do you think this Phoenix girl looks a bit like a person?"

Ye Tianzhan immediately laughed and said: "His Royal Highness can also see it. If it looks a bit like it at first glance, it will look a little different again."

With that said, everyone in the room is heartened. Qing Chen glanced at Ye Tianzhan suspiciously, but heard the Emperor smile: "But Luanfei?"

"Exactly." The prince said, "I just looked at it from a distance, I thought it was Luan who was flying here."

Qing Chen hadn't figured out the meaning of this, but he heard Ye Tianli follow up: "In fact, if you say like, I feel more like Jiu Sao."

Suddenly being commented and compared like this, Qing Chen was puzzled and could not help but frowned slightly. At this moment, she suddenly heard a low voice and slowly said: "It's like a dance." Her heart tightened for no reason, as if she was caught. Only the invisible hand scratched hard. There was such a gloomy pain in this voice for some reason, and there was some sorrow that could not be resolved, entangled and entangled, so that people could not help but heartbroken for him.

It was the Ninth Prince Ye Tianming who was talking, and Ye Tianli put away his free smile, and said a little apologetically: "Nine brothers, I didn't mean to..."

A bitter smile appeared on Ye Tianming's face, and he shook his head and said: "I know." After saying that, his eyes fell on Qing Chen, "It's not like the eyebrows and eyes, but the appearance of each move and the smile, I don't know where there is some look. The lower part of the Prince's Hall thought it was Luan Fei, but I mistakenly thought that Xianwu had come alive again. Ha, Luan Fei and Xianwu and their sisters were originally carved out by the same mold."

There was a chill on Qing Chen's back. It turned out that she compared her to someone who has passed away. No wonder Ye Tianzhan and the others had never mentioned it before. Hearing the words, it seems that the relationship between the nine princes and the princess is quite deep.

She turned slightly and looked over, her eyes could not help but a compliment in her heart. The men in the Ye family were all handsome, but if they wanted to be beautiful, they really wanted to regard these nine princes as the best.

In the gleaming glazed lights, his complexion seemed too pale, with slightly raised eyebrows and long slender eyes. Although he looked at one side in silence, he seemed to converge in thousands of floating lights and shadows, spreading extremely enchanting bewitching. , Paired with a straight nose and thin rosy lips, the match is almost perfect. A man with such an appearance is afraid that even a woman will be ashamed. He held the ice jade wine cup in his hand and looked at her carefully when Qing Chen saw it, his eyes gradually moved down her brows and eyes, and suddenly his whole body was shaken, and he suddenly stood up and cried out: "Xian Wu !"

Everyone was stunned, Qing Chen bowed his head along his line of sight. She wears a pair of liuyun shangs that are usually worn by women from the celestial dynasty. The silk gauze on her coat is as light as mist, and it is lined with a white silk tube top. She wears a flowing long skirt. Because in midsummer, the sleeves are not only loose, but also exposed. She had a jade-colored skin on her neck, and Ye Tianming was staring blankly at the bird tattoo on her collarbone under her clothes, her hand bulging with blue veins and shaking slightly, almost crushing the wine glass.

Qing Chen raised his hand subconsciously, and Ye Tianzhan said softly: "Nine brothers." The words were filled with doubts and a trace of undetectable indecision.

Ye Tianming seemed to be awakened suddenly, loosened his hands, turned around and said to the emperor: "The son... the son is rude, please forgive the emperor."

The Emperor didn't say anything to relieve his son's unconcealed sadness, but he didn't criticize him. He just waved his hand and ordered Ye Tianming to sit down.

Ye Tianming's fine eyes flicked from Qing Chen's face, and after sitting down, he drank the wine in his hand: "Feng's daughter has a butterfly tattoo on her collarbone. Since she was a child, she asked Danqing famous Zhu Xianqing to use Moyun. The form of the Yaosha in the mountains is lifelike, coupled with the rich and enduring color of the Moyun Yaosha, it is a must-have in the world." When he spoke, his expression was a little trance, a little drunk, a little blurred, as if he had fallen. Entering a distant memory, he looked at Qing Chen with some gloomy eyes, "I don't know why Miss Feng also has the same mark on her body. Is it related to the Feng family?"

The Feng family, which was the head of the noble family, flourished for a century. The clan’s children were scattered both inside and outside. At its peak, there were more than two hundred officials in the family, and they almost controlled all the central politicians of the celestial dynasty. Feng Yanguan, the elder brother of the late Empress Xiaozhen, worshipped the prime ministers of the two dynasties, and had power in his hands. He was a great power to contend with the Wei and Yin families.

Feng Luanfei, the youngest daughter of the Feng family, whom the prince just mentioned, was awarded the title of "Xiuyi". She has followed the Emperor for many years and has won her trust. Although the female officials do not hold real power, they are always accompanied by the court to listen to politics, review memorials, draft edicts, and deliver oral orders. She is in the center of government affairs and has a noble status. It is a very high honor for the noble women.

A few years ago, the daughter of Feng Xianwu married to the Ninth Prince Ye Tianming. The two have a deep and affectionate relationship. It was a romantic story in the city this day, but it is a pity that Feng Xianwu was weak and could not afford to be sick a year ago. The medicine stone is ineffective, after all, the fragrance disappears.

Ye Tianming has been heartbroken since the death of the princess, and he has seen improvement for more than a year, but his temperament has changed drastically since then.

Qing Chen also heard about the Feng family, and shook his head in response to Ye Tianming's gloomy gaze, indicating that it had nothing to do with this clan. Ye Tianming laughed self-deprecatingly: "Even if there is, so what?" After that, he drank a glass of wine.

The prince and Ye Tianming came out of the same mother. The queen died early. The prince took great care of this younger brother. Seeing that he was still so depressed after a long period of time, he couldn't help but worry, and said, "Or it's just a coincidence. Father, let’s go for a walk on the lake. It’s a good sake. The Seventh Brother has an elegant and beautiful lake. The lotus seems to bloom better this year than in previous years."

The emperor nodded and stood up. He didn't ask any more questions about Tianwu Zuifang: "Zhan'er will lead the way. Go and see what beautiful scenery has been added to your mansion."

The waiter in front immediately held the lamp, Qing Chen sighed in secret, and even if no one asked her to follow, he took the opportunity to retreat. All the princes drove along to Xianyu Lake, and Ye Tianli stopped by her for a while, and whispered: "Tomorrow I will go to Kunlun Garden to ride a horse." He smiled at her and walked with the Emperor. went.
