Above the stars

The dance ended and everyone returned home happily.

Fenghuang took Sheng Xinhuai back to Fenghuang Villa and said, "You are drunk and can't drive. You can sleep here with me tonight."

"If I want to sleep, I'll just say it, and I still have to make excuses for drinking? I can't drive, and I can't find anyone in Nuo Da's palace who can drive me back?" Sheng Xinhuai gave Fenghuang a white look, full of charm.

"I just want to talk to you." Fenghuang also drank a lot of wine, and his voice had a hint of coquettishness.

"Hey, it's rare to hear our little princess acting like a baby. Didn't you despise women who talked with their throats the most? Last time Bai Ruizhi came to visit you, and he was a little soft when talking, so you and I I complained for a long time."

"Where did I complain? It's not that you dislike other people's weird words, so I just echoed a few words."

"Yes, I have a bad character and can speak ill of people behind their backs. You are a princess and set an example for all people. How can you do such a dishonorable thing?"

"."

Fenghuang pulled Sheng Xinhuai to sit on the sofa, and Qiuqiu immediately jumped over.

Phoenix held Qiuqiu in his arms and stroked her gently, resting his hot cheek on Sheng Xinhuai's bare shoulder and said, "Sister Xinhuai, I'm so happy today."

"Are you happy because you are an adult? Or are you happy because you danced with Tang Bandit?"

"Yes." Phoenix said aloud: "Anyway, I feel very happy. I feel that all the good things are happening and all the good luck is coming to me."

Sheng Xinhuai stretched out his hand to touch Phoenix's cheek and said, "You drank too much, your face is so hot."

"I didn't drink too much." Phoenix said, "We have to continue drinking until we get drunk."

After saying that, she called the maid over and said, "Bring me another bottle of champagne."

"It needs to be frozen." Sheng Xinhuai added aloud.

Then he said to Phoenix: "Help you cool down."

The maid quickly came over with an ice bucket and champagne glasses. After pouring champagne for them both, she immediately withdrew knowingly.

They all knew that Sheng Xinhuai liked to talk about some content that was not suitable for children. He made them blush several times and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

The strange thing is that after a few days, I really wanted to listen to it again.

Phoenix raised the champagne and said, "Sister, come here, let me toast you."

Sheng Xinhuai raised his glass, clinked it with Fenghuang, drank the champagne in his own glass in one gulp, and then grabbed the champagne from Fenghuang's hand and drank it.

Phoenix said angrily: "Why are you so greedy? It's not like we don't have any wine. You can drink as much as you want tonight. The champagne tube is enough."

"You can't drink anymore." Sheng Xinhuai threw the two empty glasses on the table in front of him, picked up the champagne bottle and poured himself wine, and said loudly: "If you drink any more, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep. Not at that time. Let me do whatever I want?"

"I don't care, I just want to drink it." Fenghuang grabbed his champagne glass from Sheng Xinhuai's hand and said, "I am an adult. Today is a very important day and a very memorable day, so I want to get drunk. Come on, let’s drink till we die.”

Seeing that Fenghuang really wanted to drink, Sheng Xinhuai stopped trying to stop her. After clinking glasses with her, he said, "Drink until you die."

The two raised their glasses again and drank in one gulp.

After drinking a glass of cold wine, Fenghuang felt a little more awake. He hugged Sheng Xinhuai's arm and said, "Sister Xinhuai, you don't know how grateful I am."

"What's there to be grateful for? Didn't you treat me to a drink? We're even."

"It can't be settled." Phoenix shook his head and said: "I know you have done many, many things for me, and I know you are helping me wholeheartedly. I just wanted you to talk to them at that time, but I didn't expect you Will do it to that extent”

"What? Are you jealous? Are you blaming me for hugging him and going around looking for people to chat and drink?"

"How could I blame you? I know why you did this. I know you wanted to share the firepower for me."

Phoenix raised his head, looked at Sheng Xinhuai seriously and said, "You are willing to help me do this at the expense of your own reputation. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Pfft!"

Sheng Xinhuai burst out laughing and said, "Are you going to laugh me to death? What's wrong with sacrificing? I have to sacrifice my reputation. Do I have such a thing? How can I sacrifice something that I don't have?"

"You always like to wallow in the mud. In fact, you are cleaner than anyone else."

"Hey, have you seen "Two Little Pigs"?"

"."

"When I imitated them to jump around in the mud, and rolled in there for free, I suddenly found that this feeling was quite comfortable. I splashed mud all over myself first, and no one dared to mess with me easily. After all, they are also afraid that the mud on my body will splash on them."

"Men want both semblance and face. They want a beautiful body and a reputation that shows their authority in front of others. When conflicts are found between the two, they will make careful choices."

"So, look at how carefree and comfortable I am now. No one dares to provoke me, including your playboy second brother. Who knows what this crazy woman will do?"

"So, if I take Bandit Tang out for a walk, at most people will suspect that the two of us have an affair. We have slept a few times. Of course, you are very clear about whether you have slept or not."

"They will think that since Bandit Tang and I have such a close relationship, the relationship with you may not be that close. At least it won't be a serious relationship."

"Real and false, false and true, who can see clearly? It's better than having everyone's eyes fixed on the two of you. You can find even the most perfect person with a microscope all day long. There are flaws”

"Do you think they will believe it?" Phoenix asked.

"What does it matter whether they believe it or not? All you need to care about in this world is whether a person believes it or not."

"My Father?"

Sheng Xinhuai sipped the champagne and said, "That old man is very sinister."

"."

"What's your expression? I'm praising him." Sheng Xinhuai said angrily: "Do you think the emperor is so easy to be? He doesn't have extraordinary wisdom, deep thoughts, or unique ability to control people. I don’t even know what it will be like to be deceived by the people below. The emperor’s mind is the most dangerous and unique method in the world."

"I always feel that what you say is not a good thing."

"Your Highness, you are wronged. If your father hears this, he will chop off my head."

"No. If he wants to chop you, he must chop me first."

"Look, have you drunk too much? Why are we talking about life and death on such a wonderful coming-of-age night?" Sheng Xinhuai pinched Fenghuang's little face and said angrily.

"Are you blaming me again?" Fenghuang knocked her offending hand away and said, "Did you say it first?"

"I just said that casually. You always agree with me so much. It's hard for me not to love you."

"I don't need you to love me."

"Yes, our little Princess Xiuxue already has someone she likes." Sheng said with infinite emotion: "Are you really so determined?"

Phoenix pondered for a moment and then said aloud: "I don't like a person because he is excellent. It is because I like him that I am willing to appreciate his excellence."

"Oh, there's one set after another."

"You will understand later." Fenghuang looked at Sheng Xinhuai with a determined look on his face, his eyes sparkling, and said: "Before you met him, you didn't know what love was. But after you met him, you will be very Say to yourself for sure, yes, this is love.”

"I feel like I've been convinced by you."

"I thought you were talking about sleeping clothes again."

"It's not impossible."

"."

——

Zhong Daolong stopped what he was doing, listened attentively, and asked, "Is it over over there?"

"Yes, father." The eldest prince Zhong Tianque, who was waiting at his side, replied aloud.

"If you don't go dance with them, why do you come over to me and beat them?"

"I'm afraid they won't feel comfortable when I go there. Why don't I stay with my father and help him serve tea and water and learn something." Zhong Tianque said aloud.

Zhong Daolong sighed, and said: "You, you are too serious. Serious when you should be serious, and entertaining when you should be entertaining. It will be very tiring to keep a straight face all day long. Look at God's will, he is more serious than you. You live a much more nourished life.”

"Father doesn't feel tired, and I don't feel tired either." Zhong Tianque filled his father's teacup with water and said aloud, "Second brother has the pursuit of second brother, so don't force it."

"What do you think?" Zhong Daolong put down the document in his hand and asked aloud.

Zhong Tianque was stunned for a moment and asked: "Which thing?"

"Isn't it outrageous that Qin Jianyi challenged the Tang bandits and lost?"

"Father is worried that the Qin family will resort to fraud to make others famous?"

"That's not the case. The Qin family also wants to lose face. If they can win, Qin Jianyi will not surrender to a young boy from the old country."

"What does father mean?"

"I wanted to win, but lost." Zhong Daolong said aloud: "However, this kid has some evil ways. Let Chen Fenglei go find out what skills he used."

"Yes, father."

"Once Qin Jian suffers this setback, he will definitely be looked down upon." Zhong Daolong said aloud, "At this time, let's give him a hand, right? He has been in the fire army for some years, right?"

"Three years and five months." Zhong Tianque answered fluently, as if he had predicted that his father would ask this question.

Zhong Daolong looked at him in surprise, and said: "I heard that he did a good job in the Yuhuo Army and made a lot of contributions. It's time to give some sweets. There is a mechanical battalion inside the Yuhuo Army, right? "

"Yes, father, that is one of the main combat forces of the Yuhuo Army."

"Then let him lead it." Zhong Daolong said with deep eyes.

"Yes, Father, I will take care of it."
