Travel back to ancient times to play danmei

Xuan Yichen smiled lightly, noncommittal, and the two of them put Shangguan Liuying's little farce behind them. Xuan Yichen asked about Sikong Huan's fireworks, and Sikong Huan said, "It's all ready, Fengyu and the others did it." There are a lot of new tricks, which should be good."

Xuan Yichen couldn't help but look forward to it. Gunpowder had achieved outstanding results in the battle against Nan Huai, so he didn't expect that it could be used for fun.

When Xuan Yichen was seated, the courtiers each brought their female relatives to salute and took their seats. There were only two concubines present in the harem, Concubine Ning Guifei sat on the left, Concubine Fang Guifei sat on the right side, Prime Minister Ning Zuo and Fang Zhuo also took the first place on both sides. The meat stared at each other without smiling.

Only one woman did not sit in the back row like the other women, but sat conspicuously among the courtiers, her back was straight, her almond eyes were black and bright, it was the Shangguan Liuying who made a big fuss in the orchid garden just now, she Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said generously, "What are you looking at, I'm not considered a female family member, I'm here on behalf of my father and his elders."

It was the first time for Xuan Yichen to see a woman like Shangguan Liuying, and he felt it fresh for a while, and said with a smile, "Is Old General Shangguan alright?"

Shangguan Liuying stood up and blessed herself, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "Go back to the emperor, my father is very good, but the old problem of knee pain has occurred, so I can't come to the autumn banquet on time, please don't blame the emperor."

"It's nothing," Xuan Yichen nodded. It was rumored that the old general Shangguan doted on his only daughter for a reason. The temperament that is not afraid of the sky is exactly the same as that of the old general Shangguan, "Bring a piece of emerald duck when you go back , I remember your father likes it."

Shangguan Liuying pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, my daughter is still thinking about how to speak, this will save others from laughing at my father's greedy mouth."

What she said made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere improved a lot in an instant. Xuan Yichen waved her to sit down and announced the start of the dinner. For a while, everyone was drinking and drinking, and it became lively. Shangguan Liuying glanced sideways at Sikong Huan , I couldn't help but feel a little suffocated, just now everyone laughed, but the big ice block made a blank face, really.

Qiaolian reminded in a low voice from behind, "Miss, there are so many people watching, why don't you keep staring at Lord Sikong..."

"Hmph, he only looks at Miss Ben." Shangguan Liuying poured down a glass of wine, not at all as delicate as his daughter's, and chewed another piece of pig's trotter, "The food in the palace is delicious, no wonder Dad always misses it." on."

"Miss!" Qiaolian stomped her feet anxiously, her eyes rolled, "Our Lord Sikong is gentle and gentle, Qiaolian thinks that he definitely doesn't like rude women."

Shangguan Liuying choked, and her delicate face was immediately flushed with blush. She caught a glimpse of her sweetheart's perfect side face, and suddenly felt that the taste of the food in her mouth had changed. She quickly swallowed it and turned to ask Qiaolian, "Look at me today Is it okay to dress up like that? Originally, it was just to perfunctory sister Ning, but I didn't expect that Sikong Huan really fit my heart."

Qiaolian smiled and helped Shangguan Liuying tidy up the jade hairpin at her temples, "Miss is born beautiful, so she looks good no matter how she dresses up, but the meeting just now was not very pleasant, we need to find a good opportunity to redeem it."

Shangguan Liuying held her chin in distress, "Then what do you say?"

"In the poetry competition in a while, Miss will perform well," Qiao Lian comforted Shangguan Liuying, "Master Sikong will definitely be overwhelmed by Miss's talent."

"Yeah!" Shangguan Liuying suddenly regained confidence and cheered up.

Concubine Ning Gui who was sitting above did not miss a glance, she knew that Shangguan Liuying was moved, her father's plan was half successful, as long as the old general Shangguan was willing to speak, there would be no reason why the emperor would not give it to others, she was in a happy mood , smiled more and more coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you can try this."

Xuan Yichen ate with a light smile, and Concubine Fang Gui came to toast again, "Let's have a drink with the emperor, my concubine. Now the country is stable and the people are rich, it's all thanks to you and your servants, the emperor. How can you enjoy yourself without drinking?"

Xuan Yichen should also drink with her a few times, but it's a pity that Concubine Ning Gui is pregnant and can't drink alcohol, so she can only wring her handkerchief angrily and sulk. Waiting like this, so she leaned over delicately and said, "Your Majesty, how do you see Sikong Shilang and the daughter of General Shangguan? The concubine thinks that they are a good match."

Xuan Yichen paused while drinking, stared at Sikong Huan, who was the only one who was quiet among the lively crowd, and said calmly, "It's the first time they met today, and Aifei can tell whether they are a good match or not?"

The food on Sikong Huan's table hardly moved, and the officials on both sides talked to him, and he responded without a word. The beautiful concubine felt displeased. Although she knew that he had many harems on weekdays, she was out of sight and out of mind. Now that she saw Yingyan surrounded by him, she finally became more sober.

The little eunuch standing behind asked cautiously, "Master Minister, is it because the dishes are not suitable for your taste? Can I change some for you?"

The eunuch in charge had told him that Lord Sikong is the emperor's confidant, so he must take good care of him.

"No need, I just don't have an appetite." Si Konghuan took a sip from his wine glass, looked up at Xuan Yichen in surprise, Xuan Yichen was also looking at him, gently raised his wine glass through the crowd, Smile and drink it.

A smile finally appeared on Si Konghuan's indifferent handsome face, and Xuan Yichen actually replaced his wine with lotus dew, which was extremely refreshing and sweet.

The little eunuch finally wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, Lord Sikong's mood seemed to be inexplicably better.

"Sir, would you like another drink?"

"Yeah." Sikong Huan felt Shangguan Liuying's burning eyes, but turned his face away and ignored it, even the few officials in the middle couldn't bear it anymore, "Sikong Minister, how about we change seats?"

"Seats are determined according to grades, so I can change them at will." The old god Sikonghuan was drinking lotus fragrance on the ground, thinking that he was transparent.

"Hehehe..." Several officials hurriedly poured a few glasses of wine to suppress their shock. This Miss Shangguan is really scary...

Concubine Ning didn't understand the meaning of Xuan Yichen's words, she was still chattering about how well Sikong Huan and Shangguan Liuying were so good at matching each other, but Concubine Fang was a bystander and noticed that Xuan Yichen was a little displeased, so she interrupted, " Sister, Minister Sikong is a former courtier, we harem women are not suitable to talk about these things."

Concubine Ning gave her a blank look, "I didn't talk about court affairs, I just want to do good deeds and get married, isn't that okay?"

"The emperor has his own ideas, why should my sister—"

"Okay, stop arguing." Xuan Yichen frowned and put down the cup heavily, Ning Guifei and Fang Guifei immediately fell silent, Ning Zuoxiang and Fang Zhuo also noticed this, looked over suspiciously, Xuan Yichen rubbed Mei Xin, what happened to him, he lost control at the dinner party, he smiled again, "I probably drank too much, I went to the lake to get some air."

"My concubine will accompany you!" Concubine Ning immediately stood up, trying to hold Xuan Yichen's arm, but Xuan Yichen avoided it calmly, and said calmly, "Concubine Ai is heavy, go back and rest early when you are tired."

Concubine Ning pouted aggrievedly, seeing that Xuan Yichen left with only the eunuch in charge, she glared at Concubine Fang, "It's all your fault!"

Concubine Fang Gui ignored her, and was very comfortable sitting there eating and drinking. After a month in the palace, she was no longer that reckless little girl. Although Xuan Yichen got angry, she felt something was wrong, but she knew that in this palace The way to survive is to watch what you say and talk less.

Fang Zhuo looked at the calm appearance of his adoptive daughter, and nodded in satisfaction. At first, he was worried that this girl would cause trouble if she was young and reckless, but she didn't expect to grow up so soon. Ning Laogui's daughter is self-willed. One day he will definitely lose to his own daughter.

The eunuch in charge held the lamp in front, and the path paved with cobblestones was winding, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of the dinner party.

Xuan Yichen sat in the small pavilion by the lake and asked the eunuch in charge to step aside. The moonlight melted, and he looked at the slightly rippling lake and sighed. What happened to him?Why did she become less like herself when she heard Concubine Ning talk about Sikong Huan and Shangguan Liuying's marriage?In fact, Sikong Huan is loyal to himself, and the old general of Shangguan holds the military power. If Sikong Huan can join the Shangguan family and take power, it will be very beneficial to him... But why do I only feel angry?

Maybe he was really drunk?He smiled self-deprecatingly, half closed his phoenix eyes, and leaned against the pillar of the pavilion without saying a word.

The steward heard the slight footsteps and was about to stop them, but saw that it was Sikong Huan who was coming, so he respectfully turned off the lights and retreated further away.

Si Konghuan walked into the gazebo, stood next to Xuan Yichen and said, "So many people came because of you, why did you run out alone to hide?"

Xuan Yichen smiled wryly, "They didn't come because of me, they came because of the 'emperor'."

Si Konghuan sat down, with a smile in his clear eyes, "That's right...but I'm here because of Xuan Yichen, is the emperor satisfied?"

Xuan Yichen shook his head and looked at him amusedly, "It's been a while since I talked to you, but I've become sharp-tongued."

"Thank you for the Lotus Fragrance Lotion." Si Konghuan showed a smile that he seldom shows in front of others. Under the moonlight, he looked as beautiful as a banished fairy, and Xuan Yichen was a little crazy. He couldn't help thinking, what was going to happen? How can a peerless beauty be worthy of Si Konghuan? ... As for Shangguan Liuying, absolutely not.

The two chatted slowly for a few words, both in a very good mood, Si Konghuan suddenly raised his head, "The time has come."

"What?" Xuan Yichen said.

"Look, fireworks—" Sikong Huan pointed to the sky, and the next second there was a continuous boom, and countless bright fireworks rose from the ground, as if they were blooming at his fingertips.

"It's so beautiful." Xuan Yichen looked at the bright and dark fireworks with surprise and joy, and sighed, "At one time it's a murderous weapon, and at another time it's a pleasure. Gunpowder is really magical."

"In my opinion, there is no good or evil in the world. The key lies in whether people's hearts are black or white." Si Konghuan turned his head to look at him, his pupils were shining brightly under the light of fireworks, and the corners of his mouth were slightly playful.

Xuan Yichen, however, heard his own heart beating like a drum amidst the roar of fireworks, and felt the throbbing that he thought he would never have again in this life.

Si Konghuan stared at Xuan Yichen with a complicated expression in doubt, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay... I, I'm going back." Xuan Yichen stood up in a hurry, "The view here is good, take your time to watch the fireworks."

Si Konghuan watched his back as he left in a hurry, but sat quietly with his back to the fireworks, his eyes lonely.

Without Xuan Yichen, what's the point of these fleeting fireworks?

It seems that I have become more and more greedy.
