Travel back to ancient times to play danmei

The fact that Sikong Huan and the first official were summoned by Xuan Yichen soon spread to the ears of those who cared. With the influx of visitors coming from various sources, Sikong Huan asked people to decline them one by one, and returned the gift list in full. Later, He simply moved back to the inconspicuous small courtyard that he bought before the palace examination, and left all the servants assigned to him in the Shi Lang's mansion, to be at ease alone.

This act of dividing boundaries with the public made the Minister of the Ministry of Officials very satisfied. He hated the fact that his subordinates form cliques for personal gain, and would punish him severely every time he found out.

When he first entered the official department, many people took advantage of Si Konghuan's newcomer, so they intentionally made a fool of him to see Mawei. After a few days, I lost interest, so what should I do?

Si Konghuan only stayed in the Ministry of Officials for two hours a day. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials felt that he was overbearing at first, but after seeing Si Konghuan's ability to handle affairs, he turned a blind eye and acquiesced. the difference.

After finishing all the work that day, Sikong Huan changed from his official uniform to a flowing white dress, and walked out of the gate of the official department leisurely. A handsome and strange servant outside hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Master Sikong, Mr. Chen welcomes you."

Sikong Huan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this "Chen" is that "Chen". He suppressed the surprise in his heart, and nodded lightly, "Understood, you lead the way."

The place where Xuan Yichen met was the original Liuji KFC, but now Liuji is not open to the public, it is a quiet place where Xuan Yichen occasionally goes out of the palace to relax, only Xuan Yichen sits in the huge lobby to drink by himself Drinking by yourself, the gate facing the courtyard was open, and the pear blossoms as white as snow fluttered down with the breeze, falling on Xuan Yichen's shoulders and hair tips, like a beautiful scroll, Sikong Huan saw it from a distance, but never There is a kind of sadness that no one can describe.

"I thought it would be a long wait." Xuan Yichen beckoned the people waiting outside to come in for a refill, the fine pear blossoms were so intoxicating that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his cheeks were also stained with a blush, "Try it, This is brewed by Liu Er himself before, and it is just right to drink in this season."

The wine glass is made of white jade, so thin that it can almost see through the sunlight. There is a piece of white pear flower petals floating on the clear wine. When Si Konghuan saw Xuan Yichen looking at him expectantly, he raised his hand and drank the wine in one gulp. , although the year of pear blossom white is not enough, but the advantage is that the fragrance of the flowers is strong and sweet, which has a special taste.

"Good wine."

"Liu'er is ingenious, not only has a good cooking skill, but also learns how to make wine from the wine master in the palace." Xuan Yichen seems to be a little drunk, and the people who are taboo to mention on weekdays are always on the lips, with lingering eyes Looking at the crystal chandelier in the restaurant, "Look, he designed it himself."

Si Konghuan just drank silently, he knew that Xuan Yichen didn't need to be comforted by himself, what Xuan Yichen needed was a listener who knew Liu Juqi.

After drinking for three rounds, Xuan Yichen's empty stomach churned a little, his face changed slightly, but he still held his glass to drink.

Sikong Huan sighed, "Xuan Yichen, you should eat something, drinking hurts your stomach, not to mention that you are the king of the emperor, and you belong to the world."

Drinking alcohol hurts the stomach, not drinking is sad, Xuan Yichen always forces himself to use busyness to suppress the turbulent thoughts for the sake of the country, and occasionally like this when the sun is sunny, he will relax his nerves and find a place where there is no one to talk about it It's just a whim to call my boss Kong Huan.

Xuan Yichen poured wine and said with a smile, "The cooks know all the dishes he cooks, so I dismissed them all. After all, no matter how good they are, it's not him."

Si Konghuan snatched the wine glass in front of Xuan Yichen and drank it. At first, he wanted to put it upside down on the table, but then he simply picked up his own wine glass and put both of them in his arms so that he wouldn't drink it again. "You drink something hot first. Tea, wait for me to come back."

Xuan Yichen looked at Si Konghuan's back with some doubts, what on earth is this man going to do?

Si Konghuan left Liuji, found a restaurant facing the street, and borrowed the kitchen for the shopkeeper's 20 taels of silver. He lived alone on the mountain for many years, so cooking was no problem, and he burned three dishes in the time of one cup of tea. After the vegetarian dishes came out, they put them in food boxes and returned to Liuji.

Xuan Yichen still maintained the posture just now, staring blankly at the door, and when he saw Si Konghuan carrying a food box, he joked, "Where can I buy snacks? It's so fast."

Si Konghuan didn't answer him, but lowered his head and laid out the dishes, filled a bowl of white rice and handed it to him. Xuan Yichen grasped the chopsticks and looked at the three dishes. They were not as delicate and elegant as restaurants usually are, and the aroma was much lighter , couldn't help but said in surprise, "Sikong, you didn't do this yourself, did you?"

Sikong Huan nodded, "Rough tea and light food, I'm afraid it won't catch the eyes of the emperor."

Xuan Yichen smiled, knowing that he was annoyed, so he took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables with his chopsticks. The simple aroma of vegetables refreshes the restless heart, "It tastes good."

Sikong Huan raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth could not be concealed, "I thought you were used to delicacies from mountains and seas in the palace."

"Everything is deliberately carved and decorated, but it loses its true taste. Vegetables are vegetables, but they call them jadeite stewed jade beads, and they use fish meatballs to cover up the aroma of the dishes." Xuan Yichen said, and took two more bites For other dishes, he pointed at Sikong Huan's chest with a light smile and said, "I ate the rice, so you should return the cup to me, right? This set of thin white jade cups is priceless, and it won't be worth much if you take them apart. If you like it, I'll give you a set, what's the point of just taking two cups."

Si Konghuan was amused by him, and took out the wine glass from his bosom, the wet wine wetted his clothes, but he didn't care.

When Xuan Yichen saw it, he took out a bright yellow handkerchief and handed it to him, "Wipe it, even though it's warm in spring, you should be more careful."

Sikong Huan wiped off the wine stains, holding the square handkerchief, a little reluctant to return it, Xuan Yichen also pretended to forget about it and didn't ask him to ask for it, so Sikong Huan secretly stuffed it into his arms while the attendant was withdrawing the meal and playing chess , a red cloud appeared on his white jade-like face, and he was extremely guilty.

Playing chess after dinner, accompanied by flying pear blossoms and chirping birds, has a unique poetic flavor. The afternoon sun makes people feel lazy.

Xuan Yichen's superb chess skills are hard to come by, but this time he was on par with Sikong Huan. The two of them were engrossed in the chessboard. The black and white jade pieces were shiny and moist, and they were held by the fingertips and flowed down one after another.

Unknowingly, the sun was already towards the west, Xuan Yichen hadn't had such a pleasant moment for a long time, Junxiu always had a gentle smile on his face, occasionally refilling his own tea, he would also refill a cup for Sikong Huan, there was no such thing as an emperor Alienation etiquette among courtiers.

"Master, it's getting late." The person outside reminded.

Xuan Yichen frowned slightly while pinching a sunspot, then stretched it out suddenly, and dropped the chess piece with a smile, "Sikong, you lost."

Sikong Huan shook his head and smiled, "If you lose, you lose, your majesty, go back to the palace."

Xuan Yichen stood up and had the cloak waited on, "Today is not enough, let's play another round next time."

"The minister is always waiting."

Xuan Yichen took the people away, and he sat down again, groping the half cup of warm tea, feeling a little lost, until the attendant guarding Liu Ji called him, "Lord Sikong, the emperor said that Liu Ji cannot be kept, look... ..."

"I'll go now." Sikong Huan squeezed a chess piece and patched it somewhere, with a smile on his face, the attendant couldn't help but stare straight at the sight, Sikong Huan is indeed worthy of the words "the posture of a heaven and a man".

The situation on the chessboard suddenly changed, and the situation that should have been deadlocked was broken, and Si Konghuan won cleanly and beautifully - he often studies the endgames of past dynasties on the mountain, or plays by himself, how could Xuan Yichen be his opponent?

Procrastinating and procrastinating, it's just to see that person smile more, and to satisfy my selfish desire to get along with each other for a moment.

*****

Xuan Yichen was also in a good mood after returning to the palace. After a brief wash, he went to the Bibi Pavilion to read. No matter how busy he was, he was used to reading books that are popular in the market today. From poetry miscellaneous notes to story books, he would read as long as there were words , Emperor Feng Lan taught him that speech is a big part of being good at discovering the foundation of a country from subtle places.

Xuan Yichen had read a limerick that satirized the poor management of the household department, "I don't know how to exchange human heads for chicken heads". .”

As soon as the words were finished, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, there is news from Ning Jingxuan, Concubine Ning is happy."

Xuan Yichen squeezed the book tightly, his knuckles turned white, he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, the throne was secure, and at this time there were still some rights scattered outside and not taken back, Xuan Yichen was especially careful not to allow women from prominent families in the harem to conceive Concubine Ning even puts child-preventing medicine in the bird's nest porridge every day...

Is this child a disaster or a blessing? How did it come about?

"I see, you guys get ready and go to Tranquility Pavilion."

Even though it was getting dark, the Tranquility Pavilion was covered with red lanterns, and there was a lot of noise inside. Almost all the concubines came to congratulate, whether they were sincere or just to see the holy face, their delicate and flowery faces seemed to be sincere joy.

Concubine Ning Guifei sat on the head of the bed, her eyebrows flickering, her hands were caressing her lower abdomen, and she occasionally lowered her head to say something to the grand lady.

Xuan Yichen stepped in, and was breathless by the fragrance of the powder all over the room. The nun who announced the good news was waiting for him, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that the mother is more than a month old, and the fetus is healthy." very."

"Take a look." Xuan Yichen looked indifferent, and walked into the back room with a flick of his sleeves.
