Chongxi [rebirth]

When Han Chan came closer, the ice and snow color on his face became thicker. Ye Yunting took a closer look, and found that under his cold face, there was a bit of imperceptible tiredness.

He lowered his eyes calmly, and heard Han Chan say in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "The lord really insists on fighting against me? We have a common enemy, and we should stand by each other and help each other."

Li Fengqi looked mocking, and patted his legs covered with blankets: "This is your help? Then I can't bear it." He snorted slightly, his voice became colder, and the warning became stronger: "I don't care what you want. What to do, but you remember, I will never disdain to be with you."

"As for the previous accounts..." he said slowly, "I will settle them with you one by one."

"I've said it several times, I didn't intend to take your life." Han Chan's voice was vaguely angry: "If I don't act like this, how can you see his true face?! As long as you and I join forces, I will immediately kill you." I will give you the antidote!"

"No need." Li Fengqi's face darkened, and he said word by word: "I am different from Tai Tuo, and I will not conspire with each other."

As they came and went, the faces of the two of them darkened.Although he deliberately suppressed his voice so that others could not hear the specific content clearly, he could guess that the two of them were not having a pleasant conversation just by looking at their faces.

But what kind of conflict can there be between Taifu and King Yong'an?

This scene fell in the eyes of the guests present, and various speculations arose.

Just when the two were facing each other, a voice suddenly came in with a smile: "What are the teacher and King Yong'an talking about? Why am I not very happy watching it?"

Afterwards, Li Zong stepped in unhurriedly, his eyes rolling between the two of them.

Han Chan's complexion was visibly ugly to the naked eye. He tensed his jaw and did not respond.

On the other hand, Li Fengqi looked sideways, and the frost and snow on his face turned into needles, rooted in Li Zong's heart.

"I didn't say anything, it was the Tai Fu who just took a fancy to the tiger skin scarf on Yunting's neck and asked me for the tiger skin. I said the tiger skin was rough, and the softest fur on the whole body was used to make this scarf. The rest are used as floor mats for Yunting."

"Teacher may not be able to ask for it, and he is not in a good mood." He raised his eyebrows and smiled wildly: "Speaking of which, this white tiger skin is a reward from His Majesty." He turned to look at Han Chan: "If the Grand Tutor really wants to If you want, you can ask His Majesty if there is a second white tiger."

Han Chan twitched her cheeks, managed to maintain her expression, and said coldly, "No need."

On the other hand, Li Zong turned his eyes around Ye Yunting's neck, thinking of the defeated white tiger, his face darkened, and he said with a smirk: "This white tiger was presented by King Yong'an. Whether there is a second one depends on Yong'an." Does the king still have the ability to catch another one and offer it to me?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Majesty," Li Fengqi sighed pretendingly, "This white tiger is rare. If one dies, it's rare to meet another one. Besides..." He deliberately slowed down his tone: "Now I only raise a white tiger. Wolves don’t raise tigers.”

After finishing speaking, he deliberately asked: "But the wolf king bestowed by His Majesty is now being well cared for. Would Your Majesty go and have a look?"

"..."

He used old things as a raft repeatedly, Li Zong finally couldn't hold back, said in a low voice, "No need, I'm here for a feast and drink today, not to see King Yong'an taming animals."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and strode in. When he passed by Han Chan, his footsteps stopped again: "The teacher asked for leave for a few days, saying that he was lying in bed to recuperate. Even so, it's better not to go to this banquet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Han Chan remained expressionless, and was not moved by his warning: "You don't have to drink wine, but you have to attend King Yong'an's banquet."

"You!" Li Zong's complexion changed, he froze for a moment, and passed him: "Okay, very good!"

Han Chan straightened her back, looking at his back with a bit of chilling eyes.

All the guests have arrived, and the banquet will begin.

Everyone took their seats according to the maid's guidance.

Li Zonggao is at the head seat, Han Chan is at the right seat, Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting are at the left seat, and below that are Chang Yu'an and Yue Changgou...

The guests sit in two rows, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually rises, and a row of dancers enters, lightly dressed and dancing in harmony.

Li Fengqi poured a small glass of wine for Ye Yunting, motioned him to look at the jug, and whispered: "There are many people today, and you don't drink much, so drink some rice wine to deal with it. This is the eight-treasure yin-yang pot, and the rice wine is in the yin pot. You remember."

As he spoke, he pressed the mechanism of the bottle body and demonstrated it to him again.

Ye Yunting didn't expect him to be so careful, and even considered this thoroughly.Picking up the rice wine, he took a sip, and the sweet wine entered his throat, before he thanked him softly.

"Between you and me, it's too rare to say thank you. If the eldest son really wants to thank you, why don't you let me get what I want as soon as possible." Li Fengqi smiled slightly with his lips curled up, his eyebrows and eyes burning aggressively.

Both of them knew exactly what "got what they wanted" meant.

Ye Yunting avoided his too hot gaze, just pretended not to hear, but the tips of his ears were more or less stained crimson.

Yue Changgou on the side didn't miss this scene, put the wine cup heavily on the table, and complained to Chang Yu'an: "What kind of ecstasy soup is this King Yong'an pouring into his younger brother again? Look at him smiling! He looks like a monster!"

Chang Yu'an frowned slightly: "Be safe and don't be impatient, how many times have I told you, read more about everything and talk less."

"I'm not worried about Junior Brother." Yue Changgou was reluctant, but he didn't mutter anymore, he just watched the movement at Ye Yunting's table while drinking.

At the same time, Li Zong, who was sitting at the top, also noticed the movement at Li Fengqi's table.He swung his wine glass, squinted his eyes and asked Cui Xi: "You said they won't fake a show and do it for real?"

These days he had heard quite a few rumors about the two of them, and they did not hesitate to show their intimacy in front of him when they entered the palace.

But he and Li Fengqi have known each other for so many years, knowing that he is not close to women, so he is devoted to the border.So he preconceived that the two were acting for him.

But when he watched it today, he felt that it was not just a show.

Such an atmosphere...is not something that can be created simply by acting.

"I don't know." Cui Xi replied with a bowed body: "I entered the palace cleanse at the age of five, how can I understand such matters of love."

Li Zong glanced at him: "That's right, I shouldn't have asked you."

As he spoke, he noticed Master and Disciple Chang Yu'an at the second table, and asked in confusion: "Who are those two people? I've never seen them before. How can they sit so front?"

"It should be Princess Yong'an's teacher and senior brother." Cui Xi's eyes flickered, but he still replied truthfully.

"Oh?" Li Zong drank all the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, with playful eyes, he waved to Cui Xi and whispered a few words to him.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little tipsy.

As a princess, Ye Yunting came to toast quite a lot. Although he drank rice wine, he gradually ran out of money.

His face was reddish, his eyes were a little confused, and he was also foggy when he looked at Li Fengqi.

"I'm a little drunk, go out and blow some air to sober up."

Li Fengqi saw that his face was flushed, so he stuffed a small bag of sour plums into his palm: "Eat these plums, it will make you feel better."

The sour plum wrapped in oiled paper still had a slight body temperature, obviously he kept it close to his body.

Today was the second time Ye Yunting was touched by his thoughtfulness, subconsciously wanted to thank him, but remembered that he said thank you too much, so he pursed his lips and swallowed back, giving a soft "um".Just put away the sour plums and left.

His alcohol capacity was really light, and he was already drunk after a while, and his walking steps were a little erratic.Ji Lian helped him find an empty gazebo, and told him to sit and sober up, while he went to the back kitchen to serve him sober soup.

Now it is mid-September, and it will be the beginning of winter in a few days. The cold wind blows on the body at night, which is a bit chilly, but it also blows away some of the dryness and alcohol.

Ye Yunting shivered, couldn't help shrinking his neck, and gathered the scarf around his neck.The fluffy and warm scarf cuts off the cold wind, which Li Fengqi ordered someone to make for him.

He squinted his eyes, then took out the small oil paper bag from his sleeve, spread it out in the palm of his hand, picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The taste of sour plums made him shudder again, but after the sourness, there was the sweet and delicate fragrance of plums, which indeed had some effect on the dizziness after drinking.

Ye Yunting couldn't help pinching another one and put it in his mouth. The sour, astringent and hidden sweet taste filled his mouth, just like his complicated mood at this time.

This is what Li Fengqi prepared for him.

In the past 20 years, he has rarely been in such a complicated mood and difficult to make a decision.

He was staring at the plum in his hand, but suddenly realized that a hand behind him was grabbing at him——

Ye Yunting dodged sideways, looked back, but found that he was a slightly familiar person.

——When receiving the guests, the other party seemed to come to say hello. It seemed that he was some kind of commander. His surname was Pan. He was not a high-ranking official among the guests, but because of his burly figure and swollen face, he left some impressions on him.

"Commander Pan?" Ye Yunting didn't like his rude behavior just now, and distanced himself from him.

When Commander Pan saw him dodging, his face became a little unsightly.He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his cheeks were flushed, and he looked at Ye Yunting with indescribably sticky eyes: "I saw that the princess was sad here alone, so I just wanted to comfort her."

He spoke with his tongue out, but his eyes lingered on Ye Yunting's waist and hips.

Ye Yunting noticed his gaze, and his face became more serious.He glanced around without a trace, looking for a way out.

But the pavilion he was in was on a rockery, with three sides suspended in the air, and only one side was the exit, but it was just blocked by Commander Pan.

"If Commander Pan is drunk, I'll call someone to help you rest."

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Ye Yunting could only stabilize him temporarily.

He was not afraid of Commander Pan, but worried that if he drank too much and ignored him, if things broke out, Yu Yong'an Palace would always look bad.

Yet he was willing to leave it alone and hand out the steps.Commander Pan didn't answer.

He grinned, approached a little closer, and put the wine glass in his hand in front of Ye Yunting: "Wine can forget your worries. If the princess has any grievances, why don't you drink with me and forget your worries."

"Commander Pan is drunk, I'm afraid he has to sober up."

Ye Yunting's expression darkened, he grabbed the wine glass, and poured it on Commander Pan's face with his backhand.

Although he has a good temper, it also depends on who he is facing.

Commander Pan didn't expect him to be so merciless, his eyes suddenly changed, and his face full of flesh was a little more ferocious.

"I'll give you some face, but you're still sticking your nose in the face? You don't want to drink a toast!"

He wiped his face and approached Ye Yunting——

But at this time, the banquet is still very lively with silk and bamboo singing and dancing, delicious wine and food.

But Ye Wang didn't have the slightest intention to enjoy it.

He came here this time because he wanted to tell Ye Yunting that he had persuaded his parents to go to the army for training.He thought about it for a long time, and felt that his brain hurts when he read the book, and he was definitely not going to succeed in the imperial examination to become an official, so he had to try to join the army.

These days, he has been fighting with his mother for a long time. After talking about the truth, he also made troubles for no reason. After a lot of effort, his mother agreed to let him go to the ancestral army for training.

It's hard work in the army. If he goes there, he won't come back if he doesn't make some achievements. It may be as short as a year and a half, and it is not impossible for him to go for three to five years.

This time I came here to say goodbye to Ye Yunting.

It's just that since he entered the palace, he didn't find the slightest chance to talk to Ye Yunting.

Seeing Ye Yunting got up to leave the table, he was hesitating whether to follow, when a maid approached, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Second Young Master, the princess asked me to send you a message, saying that I would like to talk to you To talk about it, I want you to go to Zhanran Pavilion to find him."

When Ye Wang heard this, he immediately stood up.In the end, the movement was too big, causing Yin Hongye to look at him sideways: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ye Wang was afraid that Yin Hongye would stop him, so he made an excuse casually: "I'm going to give Gong."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yin Hongye to reply, she clutched her stomach and slipped away anxiously.
