Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

The east boat and the west boat are silent

Qi Yan left Gong Yanghuai to have dinner with him in the mansion, the latter readily agreed but did not dare to occupy the imperial dining hall, but ordered someone to set up a table in the small courtyard, and the servants had a meal happily.

There are a lot of fine wines in the Princess Mansion, Qi Yan has never been stingy with her friends, she directly took Gong Yang Huai to the wine cellar, and sure enough, her eyes lit up as soon as she entered the wine cellar, and she never wanted to leave.

Qi Yan said with a smile: "Choose an altar."

Gongyanghuai instantly turned into a "dog nose" and smelled it carefully through the thick mud, and finally chose a jar of 50-year-old pear blossom wine.

Qi Yan didn't know much about wine, but he could see that there were only four jars of Lihua Niang, so he teased: "Baishi has amazing eyesight, if His Highness knows about it, he will feel distressed."

Gong Yanghuai hugged the jar in his arms tightly, with a look of fear of Qi Yan's repentance: "This is rewarded by His Highness, why do you feel bad?"

Back in the small courtyard, when the dishes were served, Gong Yanghuai couldn't help but slapped the mud, and the rich pear blossom fragrance instantly filled the dining room.

Gong Yanghuai praised: "It really is rare nectar and jade dew that is rare in the world. The smell alone will make the wine worms in my house greedy to death!"

After speaking, Gong Yanghuai couldn't wait to drink a cup, and praised again.

Looking at the amber wine in the cup, Qi Yan couldn't help flashing Nangong Jingnv's expression when she learned about it. She must have never thought that Gong Yanghuai is a connoisseur of wine, and she picked her treasure right away.

Thinking of how she dragged her to hop afterward and regretted it too late, Qi Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Halfway through the banquet, Gong Yanghuai raised a question with his misty drunken eyes.

Gong Yanghuai: "Tie Zhu, in your opinion, His Highness the Fifth Prince...is it possible?"

Qi Yan put down the bamboo chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Gong Yanghuai calmly, and asked another question: "As far as I know, His Highness the Fifth Highness was not favored before, what rumors did you hear in court before His Majesty gave the decree?" ?”

If she guessed right, Nangong Da's sudden rise to power is inseparable from Nangong Jingnv, but what she is worried about now is whether the ministers in the court know about it.

Gong Yanghuai thought about it carefully: "No, the imperial decree was issued very suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard."

Qi Yan: "Think about it carefully, don't miss anything. What does Zhongshu Ling say?"

Gong Yanghuai still shook his head: "Even Mr. Zhongshu Ling is at a loss."

Only then did Qi Yan feel relieved, and answered Gong Yanghuai's question: "I entered the court two years later than you, and everything in the court is not as good as you, so there is really no way to answer this question. But I advise you to listen more Lord Shang Shuling’s opinion, following him must be right.”

Gong Yanghuai: "It makes sense."

Qiu Ju's voice came from outside the door: "My son-in-law, the butler of the private house is asking to see you."

Gong Yanghuai was greatly surprised, lowered his voice and asked, "Tie Zhu, is your private house still there?"

Qi Yan nodded, and Gongyang Huai was amazed: "It seems that you are really a good wife. Although it is not uncommon for a son-in-law to raise a private house, you are still No. 1 if you can get it on the bright side. !"

Qi Yan glared at Gongyang Huai, who smiled foolishly.

"Let him come to see me in the courtyard."

"Yes."

Seeing that Qi Yan was on guard against him, Gong Yanghuai became more and more happy.

Qian Yuan knelt down in front of the table, and said respectfully: "Young one, please see the son-in-law, Mr. Gongyang."

Qi Yan: "Get up, what's the matter?"

Qian Yuan took out a stack of red postcards from his bosom and presented them with both hands: "My lord, these are the greeting posts I received in recent days, some of them were sent to the son-in-law's mansion, and Miss Xia He also sent someone to the private house."

Qi Yan took the greeting card and put it on the table: "Understood, you can go back."

Qian Yuan: "The villain resigns."

Qi Yan: "Wait a minute."

Qian Yuan: "What else can I order, Master?"

Qi Yan: "This year's annual..."

Qian Yuan said: "Master, don't worry, it has been done according to last year's specifications. There are two rewards in total, one in the name of His Highness Zhen Zhen, and the other in the name of Master."

Qi Yan nodded in satisfaction: "Today is no different than in previous years, the banquet specifications of your servants are lower-key."

Qian Yuan: "I understand."

After Qian Yuan left, Gong Yanghuai praised: "Where did you find this person? He is really a clever person."

Qi Yan smiled without saying a word, and began to look through the stack of invitations, without any intention of carrying Gong Yanghuai, the first one was Xie An and Xie Yuanshan's...

Gong Yanghuai frowned, and said cautiously: "This Xie An... Tie Zhu is better off gradually. In the past, it's fine. Your status is different now. As a third-rank official, you should seldom deal with these merchants and businessmen. .”

Qi Yan was noncommittal, looking through the invitations one by one, most of them were sent by officials from the DPRK and China.One copy caught Qi Yan's attention, and the signature turned out to be: Xing Jingfu.

Qi Yan put down the rest of the greeting cards, and lightly held this one.Gong Yanghuai also sat next to Qi Yan and looked at the words on it.

Others are invitation cards, but this one is an invitation card.

Gong Yanghuai: "Good opportunity, Tie Zhu! Master Zhongshuling doesn't meet guests easily!" If he didn't have Qi Yan's 1 taels of silver back then, he wouldn't even be able to touch the door of this lord's house.

Qi Yan: "Didn't you notice that this invitation is different?"

Gong Yanghuai read it again from the beginning to the end, Xing Jingfu was the chief examiner of the examination between him and Qi Yan, Xing Jingfu also mentioned this relationship on the invitation, there is nothing wrong with it.

Qi Yan nodded and signed: "This invitation does not indicate a specific date..." In other words, this is a pass to visit Lord Shang Shuling at any time.

After seeing off Gong Yang Huai, Qi Yan returned to the bedroom.Nangong Jingnv had finished washing and was leaning on Babu's bed, with a lamp on the bedside, holding a yellowed ancient scroll in her hand and watching quietly.

Three thousand blue silks were scattered, stretching across the shoulders and falling to the chest.

"Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnv raised her eyes and closed the book in her hand: "Are you back?"

The corners of Qi Yan's mouth couldn't help curling up again, she took off her robe and sat on the side of the bed: "Your Highness."

"Ok?"

Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu with a mind similar to "pranking", and said: "Just now I took Baishi to the wine cellar, he chose a jar of 50-year-old pear blossom wine, and I didn't finish the jar. Take it upon yourself to let him take the rest back.”

Nangong Jingnv stared into Qi Yan's amber eyes, and said calmly: "It's just a jar of wine, what's the point?"

Qi Yan's smile was a little stiff, she retracted her eyes without a trace and said softly: "That's right."

Nangong Jingnu's reaction...was completely different from what she had imagined.

Counting it, it has been two years since she and Nangong Jingnv have been together, during this period, Qi Yan never expected anything wrong with her...

She admitted that she had come to tell Nangong Jingnu the news with some evil intentions, but the other party's reaction...

Nangong Jingnv rubbed the center of her brows. In fact, she had been sleepy for a long time and was waiting for Qi Yan to come back. She closed the book and lay down on the inside: "I asked Qiu Ju to move the lamp to the head of the bed. It will be convenient for you in the future." It's late, let's go to bed."

"Yes." Qi Yan went to wash himself, lay down on the bed and blew out the lamp beside the bed, the hall was plunged into darkness, but Qi Yan suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

Since when?I can't predict everything about the girl next to me.

Nangong Jingnv was unaware of Qi Yan's mood, she hadn't slept well for several days and nights, and she had done her best to wait for Qi Yan to come back.

While half asleep and half awake, she suddenly felt a little cold, so she hugged Qi Yan's arms and found a comfortable position to sleep peacefully.

Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnv's delicate body, and couldn't help calling out in a low voice: "Your Highness?"

"Hmm..." Nangong Jingnv was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Obviously Nephrite was in her arms, but Qi Yan felt that her heart was empty, and she had a keen sense that something was different, but her rationality told her that she was just making a fuss out of a molehill.

After some thought and struggle, Qi Yan called out again: "Your Highness?"

"……Um."

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, where does Your Highness want to go?"

There was a long silence, so silent that Qi Yan thought that the other party didn't hear what he said.

Just when she was about to give up, Nangong Jingnu replied like a raving: "I won't go out this year, I want to enter the palace to accompany my father."

"it is good."

Although Nangong Rang told Nangong Jingnv that she does not need to enter the palace every day to accompany her, she still went to the palace every day after the third day of junior high school, and sometimes went with Nangong Shunv, and almost every time she met Ji in Ganquan Palace. elegant.

Therefore, her impression of Jiya has also changed a lot. After all, her mother and queen have passed away for many years. It is also a good thing to have someone who knows the cold and hot by her father's side.

And Qi Yan also started to get busy, although she still stays in the princess mansion every night, she probably left the mansion after having breakfast with Nangong Jingnv, such a thick stack of greeting cards is enough for her to run around for a while.

The two are busy with their own things.Nangong Jingnv seems to be busier than Qi Yan, many times Qi Yan has been back home for a long time, and Nangong Jingnv only comes back after dark.

The two simply said a few words and fell asleep together.

Soon it was the Shangyuan Festival, and Nangong Jingnu really entered the palace early in the morning as she said...

Qi Yan didn't go anywhere, she ate alone in the mansion and went to bed early.

Qi Yan felt it when Nangong Jingnv came back, but she didn't understand why she pretended to be asleep.

Nangong Jingnv went to bed on tiptoe after changing and washing, and still nestled in Qi Yan's arms.

The next morning, when Qi Yan woke up, there was no one around him.

She was not used to seeing the empty seats around her, but she heard the door of the dormitory opened. Qiu Ju led a group of maids into the dormitory with trays in their hands.

Qiu Ju: "My son-in-law, today is your first morning court, and His Highness ordered the servants to change your clothes for you."

Qi Yan sat up: "Sister Qiuju, where's Your Highness?"

Qiu Ju: "His Royal Highness is in Tangquan Hall, and he will be back soon."

Qi Yan nodded, the purple official uniforms, goldfish bags, and chests of officials of the third rank and above in the Wei Kingdom are slightly different.

Qi Yan's son-in-law's palace attire is also purple, but the gorgeous crimson purple show is much more gorgeous than this set of official palace, but the actual status of the two is not the same.
