Chapter 168:

At night
The guests outside were all gone, and the bamboo orchestra was still walking in this room.
Usually after the big banquet, the host invites distinguished guests to stay for the small banquet. In many cases, this is the highlight.
Chen Jingrui held fine wine in one hand and said to Mu Xuan: "Prince, this is the flower queen of Youlan Pavilion. I give you a little heart, although it is not as good as the princess of your country, but it is also a rare beauty in the world. "
Mu Xuanyu glanced at the beauty of the song singing, and it turned out that her skin was victorious, her face was pink, and she wore a thin brocade soft-smoke sloppy skirt, which even lined her skin like jade, reflecting the gauze, just like Transparent. Not to mention that she smiled and smiled, the glances that flowed from her eyes could make a heart break with just one glance.
Mu Xuanyuan felt the intoxicated eyes of the few people who accompanied him, and his mouth was light, and he smiled at Chen Jingrui, "Thank you for your kindness."
"Come, drink wine for Prince Nine."
The lady Hua Kui smiled slightly, took the hip flask and walked to the side of Huo Xuanyuan, and Mu Xuanyuan stared at her, and felt that her eyebrows were picturesque and very beautiful. Mu Xuanyuan said lightly, "You call what name?"
"The little girl is called Yueyue, and the Nine Prince can call me Crescent Moon." The woman replied softly, not wanting this tenderness and affection to appear in his eyes as nothing.
"Oh, Crescent Moon?" He reached up and raised her chin, smiled at her with arrogant affection, his bony bones were slightly white, apparently exerted strength, and Xianyue's face suddenly showed pain, and she nodded and said, "Yes. It is ... Prince, please show mercy ... "
Mu Xuanxi snorted coldly, and when she pushed her, she fell backwards to the ground. He poured the glass of wine on her shirt, and said angrily, "You just deserve to be called Crescent Moon!"
After seeing this scene, Chen Jingrui smiled and said, "Why should the nine princes be angry? If you don't like her, then change it ..."
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and after a guard came in to salute, he said a few words in Mu Xuanyuan's ears. Mu Xuanyuan's face changed and he said, "What happened?"
The guard shook his head and said, "The princess said that fortunately the princess of Ming County assisted, and it was not a big deal, but she was frightened, and she has now returned to the rest hall to rest."
Mu Xuanxian's frowned frowned, and then said to Chen Jingrui: "My subordinate reported that the son of the king of Hunan in your country intends to do wrong with my sister in Meilin. How can you explain this?"
Chen Jingrui was stunned, his complexion changed immediately and it was difficult to look at. The king of Xiang always was a second-generation ancestor, and he caused trouble everywhere. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would always come forward and make fun of it regardless of thirty-seven and twenty-one. Dare to fight Princess Gao Chang's idea. After all, everyone knows that Princess Gao Chang is going to marry Prince Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Boping was bold, he didn't dare to fight against the Prince. Chen Jingrui's eyes became cautious. He stood up and said, "We will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation someday."
Mu Xuanyuan said coldly: "Since this is the case, I will leave today." As he said, he lost his wine glass and took others away.
Chen Jingmo went to his brother Chen Jingrui, and his face was not very good-looking: "The nine princes are too arrogant, you are giving him face, but you are a small Gaochang country, and you dare to be so presumptuous!"
Chen Jingrui sneered: "This nine prince is not a simple figure. He is completely different from his cowardly father!"
Mu Xuanyu walked out of the flower hall and was drunk by a cold wind.
Why is this wine still so drunk after drinking so much?
Why is your heart still bitter and painful when she is pregnant?
The cold wind blew, as if it were the winter many years ago, when he was dirty and smelly, and had no ambition. He went to the street that day to beg, because he was too hungry, he stole the shopkeeper's bun, and they were chased and beaten. As long as you close your eyes, you can think of people's scolding at that time.
"Dare to steal things ..."
"Thief bitch! All come out ..."
"Go to his mother, and cut off these cheap hands!"
A lot of people came out of the shop, catching his desperate puppet. He never asked for help, so he clenched his teeth and bitten, and almost broke the roots of his teeth.
Every day, he just lives humblely, often with blushing nose and swollen face, so when hit by a carriage, he thought he would be beaten as usual, and then thrown away like a dead dog. But when he saw the hand and stretched out from the carriage, he didn't know that the human hand could be so beautiful, but the woman's voice was better. She asked the nursing home to let him go. In his mind, the woman's voice was as crisp and sweet as if he had hit the string piano accidentally.
No one had ever released goodwill to him, she was the first and only one. Even if there were countless women at his feet later, he would never forget her, because she was the only one who gave him tenderness when he was most down, even though he did n’t even have the opportunity to thank her at the time, even though she was just He was given silver by a teenager, and he didn't even say a word to him, a humble beggar, but he would never forget her voice. He was very fortunate that the wind blew the curtain before giving him a chance to see her face.
At that time, he watched the carriage go, and there was only a surge of blood in his young heart, almost on the ground, to worship her.
Over the years, even if he closed his eyes, he could vaguely see that jade-carved, sheep-fat-like hand. However, he never felt offended and only felt infinitely longing.
-He wants to see her! He wants to see her once! He lived for this will and conviction, willing to endure all suffering, all endurance, even the brothers of Gao Chang said he was a hybrid, he didn't care, he did n’t tell others and did n’t have the courage to ask her Whereabouts.
Every time I think of her, there is a sweet tenderness in his heart. He only knew that he was working hard and climbing up. He thought he would be worthy of her one day. He wanted to see her and tell her how important she was to him! She was the only sunshine in his humblest days!
He is now the 9th prince of Gao Chang. No one dares to look down upon him, no one can treat him with contempt. He is still climbing up step by step. One day he will get that supreme position, and he knows he will be weaker than himself His father emperor did a good job, he knew that even if he found the fairy in his heart, she would not recognize him because he was a thin beggar, but today he can kill a fierce tiger with his bare hands, and he has With power, with fame, with status, everything has everything.
Now he finally summoned the courage to come to her. He actually thought she was married, but what about it, he didn't care anyway, he always felt that God wouldn't let him pass her like this, he thought he would be able to He left very important things in her life so he had this confidence. No matter who she was with, he couldn't stop him from seeing her, and told her all the determination.
When he was introduced to him, the beautiful lady was enough to be the Yongan County Lord, one of Kyoto ’s double-headed princes. He did n’t know how to describe his inner ecstasy, but soon he could n’t laugh because she, She is indeed married and she is married to the most powerful man in the Dali Dynasty. When he saw her in the crowd, Qingli was as elegant as he was then, no, even more exciting to him than he was, but he didn't tell her the opportunity.
When anyone sees Xiao Chonghua, the first thought will be self-defeating. Others do not know the inferiority of his heart. This kind of inferiority from the illegitimate child cannot be rid of him. He has no way of forgetting the title, and he is inferior in his bones. So, when he saw a man like Xiao Chonghua, he knew that he no longer had this opportunity. He couldn't come to her and tell her that he had been fighting for her to this day.
When he saw Hongxue going to talk to her, he didn't even dare to look over there, because as long as something related to her could hurt his eyes and hurt his heart, when did he become So weak? In fact, when he heard Xiao Chonghua standing next to her, he already had a crazy urge to kill him.
Because that man ruined his dream, a dream with the moon in his heart.
The carriage of Yan Wangfu went to Yunhe Bridge. Ruby exhaled softly through the window: "Miss, the river lantern is so beautiful."
Ouyang warmed for a moment, and the scrolls in her hand were paused for a moment. Then it reminded the civilian women of the Dali Dynasty that whenever spring was about to come, they would put lights in the river that had just been cultured, praying for peace and happiness in the coming year. But this is very popular only among civilians. Her heart moved slightly and she suddenly said, "Stop."
Hongyu busy instructed the driver to stop the car, Xiao Chonghua rode on the horse, and quickly got off the horse at the moment, saying, "Warm son, isn't it uncomfortable?"
"No, I want to see the river lights."
Xiao Chonghua smiled, and then she stretched out her hand and took Ouyang Nuan off the carriage. Ouyang Nuan was taken aback and said in a hurry: "I can come down by myself."
Xiao Zhonghua laughed and held her hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to see."
Ouyang Nuan smiled slightly, looked up, and saw the river flowing in the microwave, sparkling blue, like an unembroidered Yingliang silk. On the steps below the river, many young women are putting the river lantern in their hands, and the river lantern runs along the flowing water, igniting a beautiful fire, which almost covers half of the river, leaving only dazzling Shuttle red. On the bridge, there are children in teams, holding Qian in singing nursery rhymes: "The river is bright, the river is bright, the cowherd and the weaver are happy." "The river lantern is three thousand miles long, and the girls are as sweet as honey", "Let's put a river lantern on today and throw it tomorrow!"
"Are they making a wish?" Ouyang Nuan asked softly.
"Yes, make a wish." Xiao Chonghua's eyes fell on her, especially tender.
Ouyang Nuan smiled slightly. She had closely followed the etiquette of aristocratic women in the previous life. She had never crossed the slightest, and never came to the river like a civilian girl to put a river lantern. She made her wish and she watched from afar. The young girls put down the river lantern and closed their eyes with the chess pattern of sincere wishes, with a little envy in their eyes.
Xiao Chonghua suddenly let go of her hand and walked towards the river. Ouyang Nuan was taken aback, but she saw him say something to a young powder-coated woman. The woman's complexion suddenly turned red, Ouyang Nuan held her back. , Soon saw the woman with red ears and red ears handed the river lantern to Xiao Chonghua, and Xiao Chonghua quickly walked back and gave the river lantern to Ouyang Nuan: "Are you wishing?"
Ouyang Nuan stayed completely, she almost doubted that the gentle man in front of her was the cruel husband Junjun County she always thought, and she did not expect that he stripped the cruel shell in front of her and became gentle At the same time, he showed his weakest side in front of the ground.
Such a change makes Ouyang Nuan overwhelmed.
"No?" He asked.
Ouyang Nuan laughed and took over the white lotus-like river lantern from his hands. Looking down, the veil was very dazzling, and it was so exquisitely beautiful that it made me feel very happy. The little hand clenched unknowingly. She had never felt this kind of feeling, as if her heart beat very fast.
She walked to the river step by step, put the lamp into the water, saw the river lamp swaying in the water, and then slowly drifted downstream.
Ouyang Nuan kept staring at the river light before disappearing. She turned to look at Xiao Chonghua, with a smile on her face, and said gently: "Let's go back."
He was about to turn around, but he grabbed his wrist. She lifted her eyes and heard him ask, "What wish?"
Ouyang Nuan raised her lips, a gold flower on her head fell to her right, a cluster of tassel like a golden snake, dangled, and flickered along the cheek with the words, reflecting the light, gorgeous: "Heavy Hua, I want a child. "
Xiao Zhonghua looked at her and suddenly smiled. At night, the smile had an incredible tenderness. It seemed as if there was nothing but her in life, as if he had lost her, he would have no fun.
Ouyang looked at him warmly, I do not know whether it was the lights or the reflection of the river, and he carved out his handsome side face and the contours of his body. The light in his eyes was faint, but the original cold light was like cold. The flame will ignite her together.
"Let's go, it seems like it's going to rain." He clenched her hand and walked back all the way, but didn't get on the horse, holding her on the carriage. Ruby and Iris looked at each other with a smile, and they both retreated to the car behind them.
Before reaching the gate of Yan Wang Mansion, a dull thunder sounded from the sky. Click again and again. Ouyang Nuan was shocked in her heart. Xiao Chonghua seemed to know her fear and hugged her tightly in her arms. Even when she got off the carriage, she hugged him all the way back to He Xintang.
Ouyang Nuan had to come down a few times to go on his own, but Xiao Chonghua did not agree. Ouyang Nuan simply buried his face in his arms, and he would not face anyone tomorrow anyway. The name of Xiao Chonghua's beloved wife, I am afraid that everyone who knows tomorrow will be known.
For a moment, Ninefolds thundered, and the stormy waves fell again.
He Xintang's girls welcomed them with ambiguous smiles. Immediately, Ruby closed the windows of the whole room and disappeared silently.
Ouyang Nuan listened to the sound of thunder, and even trembled uncontrollably in his arms, shocked.
Xiao Chonghua was sitting on the couch, she hugged his waist tightly, and lay down on his lap, like a child. She didn't want to be so rude, just hearing the thunder always reminded her of her bad past, which should not have affected her past at all.
Xiao Chonghua touched her forehead and sighed. There was a trace of tiredness in her eyebrows.
"I'm afraid of thunder, so when it's thunder, be by my side." Ouyang Nuan's fingers clenched his robe grapefruit quietly, like a wayward child.
Xiao Chonghua looked for a moment, his expression softened instantly.
"Whenever you need it, I will be by your side." Xiao Zhonghua said quietly, as promised, "but you have to tell me why."
"what why?"
"Why didn't you follow him?" Although he vaguely knew the answer, she mentioned it vaguely, but he wanted more, more assurance.
On hearing that, Ouyang Nuan's face was stained with rouge red, her cheeks were stained with Hunan fever, and she lifted herself up and said, "I thought you knew."
Xiao Chonghua looked at her. There was a thin layer of ice in his eyes, but under the ice, he couldn't hide his enthusiasm, with a frenzy, when he looked down, his scorching, handsome face was faintly sad.
"tell me."
"Tell me now."
"I really want to know, I have always wanted to know, and my heart hurts."
He slowly, sentence after sentence, gave her no time to breathe.
Looking at the pair of translucent rows of sharp eyes, the heart strings that made Fu Yang warm and tremble, like the strings that suddenly broke, the heartbeat stopped.
The intense sadness on his body squeezed bit by bit, so that she couldn't breathe.
When did she hurt him? Because her sense of self-protection is too strong, too frank! Made him hurt? How could a powerful person like him be so strong that she would be hurt? His hand rested on her bun, and he fumbled softly and softly. She raised her head blankly again, with a doubt in her eyes.
His fingers crossed her eyebrows and eyelashes, and her eyelashes were under his fingers, like the trembling transparent wings of a bug. Finally determined, she looked up and kissed the cold lips of the person in front of her. Xiao Chonghua only felt that a soft wind rolled over his lips, and when it was slightly warm, he even exuded the fragrance of flowers.
"I won't leave you, neither now, nor in the future, but in this life, I won't tell you the answer, think for myself." She said softly, exhaled as blue.
Xiao Chonghua froze slightly, and then a petting smile appeared in his eyes? Then she turned her back underneath ...
Open body, soft Ren Jun Caimei, broken and messy hair hanging on her body, along with his lips, he was a cold flame, seemingly ruthless, but with a gentle enthusiasm, want to She ignited together, and she thought that she could be immune to him and ruthless to him, after all, he was pulled together and burned. The sound of thunder was very loud, and Chunyu began to fall recklessly, but could not stop the burning ... This dream was extremely deep, and there was no cold that caused pain in her bones. She was extremely comfortable in her heart and wished to fall like this all the time And no longer wake up.
After all, it was still bright, and the thunderstorm last night had long since passed, and it was back to a clear sky.
Under the eaves was still a burning red lantern, and Ruby whispered to the little girl: "What to run, do you understand the moment, the masters are resting!"
The little girls laughed eagerly, "Yesterday, the princess of the county was taken back! Sister Hongyu, this is not the case for our county king!"
"Nonsense! Watch out for what the Lord heard!"
"Hee hee, I'm not afraid to hear it. Everyone in Kyoto said so. They said that when the king of the county saw the princess, he forgot everything, and what His Majesty the Lord called, all left behind Say he doesn't love rivers and mountains and beauty! "
"Your gangsters' bones are tickling, aren't they? What are you talking about?" This was Ayame's voice, but with a smile.
"Sister Ayumi, if I were a man and married a beauty like my wife, I would have to have it all night and night!"
"Well, little girl knows what every night and night, don't let me talk!"
Then there was the sound of a group of girls running away.
Their voices are small, but they are extremely quiet in the morning. Even in the beaded room, Ouyang Nuan blushes. Although she seemed asleep, she opened her eyes suddenly. The light in front of the bed did not go out, the light yellow wicker rattan flower bed tent in front of it, the light of the old candle in the morning light reflected on it, the rattan flower became extremely broken and very shallow. After sleeping for a long time, the quilted bedding was messy, and Ouyang Nuan buried herself in as if he hadn't heard.
Xiao Chonghua stretched out her arms and took her out. Ouyang Nuan said fiercely: "The girls in this yard are all fine, and they have turned upside down!"
Xiao Chonghua chuckled: "Blame yourself for being too kind, who makes you not discipline!"
Ouyang Nuan snorted, raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. The quiet breath in the room could hear the warmth, just like spring day. After a long time, she sighed and said, "It seems that in the eyes of outsiders, I have become a goblin who bewitched King Jun's business."
Xiao Zhonghua laughed: "Why, aren't you?"
Ouyang's frowning frosty, her voice was still hoarse and awake: "I'm not." When she spoke, her lips were slightly tilted, smiling and smiling, and her wing-colored hair was like a thick ink sprinkled on the bright Huang Hualuo on the quilt. He just looked at her quietly, reached out and touched her hair, and after a while, she exposed her face from the half of the quilt, holding his palm, her voice soft like rippled spring water, lingering: " How about being a goblin? "
Xiao Chonghua leaned closer and leaned in her ear, whispering. A very low voice, "What do you say ..." But the warm and humid atmosphere passed, scratching his ears and itching, Ouyang Nuan wrinkled his nose and couldn't help laughing.
Ouyang Nuan narrowed her red lips, her eyes were silky, and she smiled lightly: "Or do you use me to create the illusion of avoiding the world?"
This conscientious woman, even if she was at a loss, could maintain her sober analytical ability and relentlessly regard his love as a use. Xiao Chonghua stared at Ouyang Nuan intently. Carved her into his own eyes, his trembling hands stroked her cheeks, slipped across, rolled into the hair, clenched tightly, ragged violently, and kissed her lips. Ouyang Nuan ate a little, but his soft tongue had penetrated her mouth, searching fiercely and softly, winding around and snatching every trace of her breath. Gradually, the rough movement became as light and delicate as silk, like feathers, making her comfortable and sleepy, and narrowed her eyes again.
Ask wildly, tease promiscuously, and kiss.
After a short while, he raised his head, and Ouyang Nuan realized that their hair was tangled together and could no longer be separated.
"If it's an illusion, I'm afraid it will last a lifetime." It can't stop when you are tired. When Xiao Zhonghua said, his lips couldn't help but lightly or heavily.
Ouyang Nuan's warmth spread in his heart, but he sighed long and said, "I see."
The waiter guarding outside the room heard Ouyang Nuan's sullen laughter. Gradually it became low breath. It's just a few syllables, but it's hard to hide.
It was already midday, and Ruby came up with a happy face to serve her, and Acorus fell into the tray and came in.
Spring is about to begin, but Ouyang Nuan is very chilling. A brazier is still burning in front of the bed, and the charcoal is red and vigorous, bringing a strong warmth. Ruby walked over and changed the incense in the incense burner. Mint incense was lit in the copper smoker. The refreshing breath rose from the incense burner.
Xiao Chonghua already put on his clothes, and the black embroidered gold brocade was even more handsome on him. Ouyang Nuan glanced at him suddenly and wondered: "Did you not see the first beauty in the world yesterday?"
Xiao Chonghua nodded casually: "I see."
"Much more beautiful than me, do you think-will she be a princess?"
Xiao Chonghua thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yan's mind is beyond the ordinary people's guess. If he is willing to marry, he should have proposed it, but for the moment, he seems to have no such meaning."
"Isn't that embarrassing for Princess Xiangxue?"
Xiao Zhongbi also looked at it this way, but he didn't think Xiao Yan would take into account the position of a woman. He slowly said, "You seem to care about this princess?"
Ouyang Nuan laughed without answering, Ruby was picking up Ouyang Nuan's blue silk, and then matched her with a crystal hibiscus flower. Xiao Chonghua frowned suddenly, went up and suddenly reached out, took her hibiscus flower out, and said, "Too gorgeous . "
Ouyang Nuan stunned, Xiao Chonghua passed her a jade badger casually, "This is better."
Ouyang Nuan couldn't help crying and laughing. What happened to him? The ruby ​​next to him just laughed. The county king was jealous. Seeing that the lady was so well-dressed last night, it attracted the attention of others. The king's face was ugly.
"Miss, there is a banquet in Prince's House today too! Are you going to change your clothes with brighter colors?" Aura has no eyesight to see the authenticity, and has caused Ruby's white eyes.
Ai Pu looked at her innocently, not knowing what she said wrong.
Ouyang Nuan said, "They don't know if they are tired. They had a banquet yesterday and a banquet today. I really admire it."
Xiao Zhonghua smiled slightly: "If you don't want to go, don't go."
Speaking lightly, he was holding her back to the house yesterday. I don't know how many people saw it. If she doesn't go today, I'm afraid she will be said to be too indulgent, and she won't be able to get up. This is so unpleasant, of course she must go Yes, fortunately, the banquet in Prince's House, as long as she made a past trip, greeted Lin Yuanxin and returned, she would not delay too long. Ouyang Nuan thought this way, and ordered Hongyu to take a jade-colored Luo skirt to put on.
The dinner at the Prince's House was held in the hall.
When Xiao Zhonghua showed up, he was entangled by the ministers and ministers, and Ouyang Nuan sat next to Lin Yuanxin, and Xiao Yanran rushed over to sit next to Ouyang Nuan. Ouyang Nuan looked at the other party as if he was loyal, and couldn't help laughing. The child was still as simple as marrying. In order to make Ouyang Jue happy, Yan Ran sent all her babies here. It can also be seen that she really threw herself on Juer's body. For Ouyang Jue, she could even pull out her heart.
At the beginning, wasn't it the same for Su Yulou, but ... the inhuman thing was met, and Jieer, Ouyang Nuan believed that he would cherish this pearl.
Ouyang Nuan thought about this, but froze. When could she think of that person so peacefully? There is no resentment, only peace?
This banquet was personally arranged by Lin Yuanxin. Everyone had a small black coffee table in front of them, each with ten small white jade porcelain plum pattern dishes, which contained exquisite dishes, which made people coveted at a glance. There is a girl who pours fine wine and is very attentive.
Xiao Chonghua sat upright, wearing a prince's robe and showing his grandeur. Gao Chang's nine princes were still standing tall and strong, making it impossible to ignore his existence, but it seemed a bit embarrassed than yesterday? Ouyang Nuan thought for a while, could not help but say, could the nine prince also be dissatisfied? But why didn't you see Princess Xiangxue? Did you get too scared last night? Ouyang Nuan sighed, to live in the Dali Dynasty, or to be as sturdy as the princess, or to be as smooth as the Rongjun Lord, otherwise ... I'm afraid this Xiangxue Princess will not survive.
Like feeling Ouyang Nuan's gaze, Xiao Yan didn't turn her face a bit. To her, her gaze was complicated, and if there was any substance, she felt a weird feeling. But after a while, he turned his head again.
At that moment, Xiao Yan raised his glass and said, "Today is my banquet for the VIP guests of Gao Changguo. Thank you for your appreciation. I respect you for your free drink.
The atmosphere of the scene slowly became lively, and people left the table one after another and began toasting each other.
Xiao Chonghua signaled Ouyang Nuan not to drink more than a person. Ouyang Nuo nodded slightly. Although the two did not sit together, they did not have intimate movements and words, but a look and a smile already represented everything.
All this fell into Xiao Yan's eyes. He looked at Ouyang Nuan's flushed face and the watery eyes. At this time, she had a charming charm that belonged to young women. On weekdays, her eyes It's always cold, indifferent, and the smile is also absent, never showing such tenderness like water, Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily patrol the eyebrows of Ouyang Nuan, and he said, "Have you ever used that Looked at me ...
Xiao Yan couldn't help but squeeze the cup tightly, jealous of biting his heart like a snake.
