Li Huang

I slowly drank the wine in the glass, and Shen Xiyao’s eyes fell on me. They were blazing, but in a moment he turned his face back, and smiled and asked the king Wei who was sitting below some of the people in Jiangnan. knowledge.

I smiled alone, and saw his eyes look over gently, there were too many emotions in his eyes that I couldn't face.

"Xihe, are you okay?" Shen Xiyao swept over with sharp eyes, but his tone was gentle and concerned.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your concern. The minister is okay."

I reluctantly said with a smile: "The prince's injury can be restored to life, the emperor has been worried about these days."

He also smiled and raised his wine glass to respect Shen Xiyao: "Don't worry about the emperor, the minister will be fine."

After he said, he drank it all, but abnormal flushes appeared on his face, and I was so worried that I almost spoke out and told him not to drink too much.

However, as soon as the words came to his lips, Shen Xiyao next to him spoke: "You are hurt, it is better not to drink too much, it is better to drink less."

Shen Xiyao's eyes were full of smiles, Xihe put down the wine glass, and I swallowed the words back into my stomach.

It was really hard, my heart was upset, and my mind always ran to the moon-white figure below the table, watching him drinking one cup after another, although he was smiling, but I felt the sadness of that smile.

Wei Wang and his princess talked and laughed happily, and from time to time Shen Xiyao and I, who sat on the top of the chair, respectfully respected.

Wei Wang was very kind to his princess, and from time to time he served her with food and wine. I watched him and his eyes kept falling on the Wei Wang and his wife, with envy and helplessness in those eyes.

"Xihe, you are not young anymore. When will you marry a concubine and come back?" Wei Wang's sudden words made Xihe's face pale for a while. I held a wine glass in front of me and drank slowly to cover my pale face. Fortunately, everyone turned their attention to Xi He.

"Xi He hasn't thought about it yet." He smiled awkwardly and said slowly.

"Isn't there a woman in the capital that you are fond of?" Wang Wei asked with a drunk, half leaning over.

Xihe shook his head: "Brother, Xihe doesn't want to be a concubine now, so he just hopes that his body will recover quickly to protect my peace and tranquility."

Wang Wei curled his lips and smiled: "After all, you are a prince, and your sixth brother has two concubines, but your brother hasn't yet. It's fair to say."

Xihe shook his head: "I really don't want to now." The voice fell slightly, and his eyes quickly glanced at me.

I hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince is admirable for his country's safety, and this palace respects the prince."

After all he smiled, he also smiled. That was the first time I saw him show a pure smile after he entered this hazy smoke pavilion. I lowered my eyes slightly, with joy and sorrow in my heart.

After drinking a glass of wine, I was afraid that King Wei would mention it again. I smiled and looked at King Wei who was about to open his mouth: "Master Wei, this palace will also offer you a glass. Now when you come back to the capital, you have to stay for a few more days, your emperor. But I miss you very much."

Wang Wei hurriedly responded to me. I raised my glass and drank it, then clapped my hands. A dozen men in uniforms came up to the hall with swords in their hands.

"Rumble" drums sounded, and a calm male voice sang: "Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears golden armor for hundreds of battles, and you won't return it without breaking Loulan."

Everyone was watching the past, only Xi He's eyes fell on me for a long time.

At the end of the dance, Shen Xiyao beside me suddenly leaned his body slightly and said to Xi He slowly: "I suddenly remembered that when you left last time, didn’t you say that you wished me to give you a treasure? Why didn’t I listen to you again? Up?"

My heart sank, "Suddenly" kept beating, and when I looked at him, my face remained as usual, and I smiled at Shen Xiyao, but my eyes were on me.

He replied: "The courtier loves the emperor's brother very much, but the courtier knows that if you ask the emperor brother, it will be difficult for a strong man."

"Oh? What is it? I really want to know." Shen Xiyao asked with a raised eyebrow, his face full of curiosity.

But I was sweating profusely next to him. Although I knew that Xihe wouldn't say it, I was still very nervous. "My minister likes a guqin collected by Brother Huang, named Luyi." He smiled and looked straight. He looked straight at me with a sly smile.

I was surprised that the piano was in my place, it was something I must play every day.

Shen Xiyao's face changed slightly: "Lu Yi, I have given it to the queen."

Xihe suddenly realized that: "That was the offense by the minister. The minister did not know this."

Shen Xiyao smiled and looked at me. There was a bit of sweetness and bitterness in my heart, and said with a smile: "Since the prince likes it, this palace will give it to the prince. A good piano needs a personal reward. My palace has no understanding on the guqin, prince I like to order it to you."

Shen Xiyao nodded with a satisfied smile in his eyes. In his eyes, I was a decent queen, but he didn't know why Xihe wanted this piano.

The Qin was brought up, wrapped in red silk, and he carefully opened it, with admiration and satisfaction in his eyes. "Thank you, brother, and empress."

After that, he sat in front of the piano, twisted his ten fingers, and the song "Flowing Water and Floating Lantern" quietly flowed in the misty smoke pavilion of Ninghe under the moon, but there was a little more atmosphere in his playing. Mount E'e is like a river.

I smiled softly, drinking cup by cup.

Drink it cup by cup. I have drunk a few large glasses of wine before I feel dizzy. I really can’t stay any longer. I’m afraid I’ll burst into tears when I look at him again. My eyes are already sore and swollen. I don’t know how my face looks. , But I know I must leave.

After another drink, his piano sound stopped abruptly, and Shen Xiyao clapped his hands. I restrained my feeling and said softly: "The emperor, it seems that this piano gift to the prince is really the owner."

Shen Xiyao nodded, I picked up the wine glass and smiled and looked at Xi He who had already returned to the banquet: "Master, this palace will toast you again."

After talking about him, he drank, his body fluttered, a little dizzy, I looked at Shen Xiyao with a drunken smile and whispered: "The emperor, the concubines are too drunk and a little drunk."

Shen Xiyao looked at me with concern, her eyes soft but tightly looking at each other. I looked at him, her eyes drifting: "The emperor, please leave your concubine Rongchen first."

He took my hand and squeezed it hard, it hurt, but I still had a smile on my face.

He thought for a while: "Well, you feel unwell this morning, it's better to go back and rest earlier."

After hearing his words, I got up and walked to the hall to give a salute. Huiju and the others staggered back.

After walking through the long flying bridge, I pulled away Huiju's hand, and my steps had recovered calmly. Looking back at the water, there were glorious lights, surrounded by the rustling of the wind in the quiet night, and I looked at the sky as crystal clear. Star, that little silver light gradually blurred into one piece.

Raising the wide sleeves and wiping the corners of his eyes, there is a figure that I am familiar with in the brightly lit place. Even though it has been far away, I can still recognize him at a glance.

"Why the maidservant got drunk so quickly today? The slave-maid remembers that there was a time when the maidservant had not drunk more wine than today, but she was not drunk. Is it okay for the maidservant to catch the cold last night? A pill." Hui Ju asked me in a low voice.

I turned my head to look at her with an "Ah", my eyes suddenly changed from fright to gentleness. I heard the sound of music coming from afar, and laughed. It was the new song "Flowing Water Floating Lantern" played by Yuefu.

"Hui Ju," I said: "Have you ever heard that wine is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk?"

Hui Ju shook her head, I said nothing, and helped her hand to walk slowly towards Kunning Palace, but I knew where "drink is not intoxicating, and everyone gets drunk", but "It is better to drink and wait for the slave to get drunk first, figure I don’t know when he goes."

I'll leave first. It's okay for me and him. At the banquet, he will show his face.
