Wang Zhijing

... "

The voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing the person behind him, Su Yun was startled, stayed for a moment before recovering, couldn't help but staggered back half a step, for a moment, tongue-tied.

"Your...Your Majesty?"

239 questions

The streets are full of colorful lights, and the moon is bright above the building.

Only this corner outside the dance floor was slightly dim.

With the help of the dim light, Su Yun looked at the face in front of him that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, his lips trembled slightly, and he was not so sure about the honorific name.

The young man slightly raised his temples and slender eyebrows, his eyes slightly lowered to the dirt at his feet.

"Why are you so drunk?"

Qi Xuan frowned lightly, his questioning tone was a little puzzled, but there was a faint flicker of light in his eyes.

"I……"

Confused for a while.

How to explain this?

Do I have to tell him that I feel uncomfortable, inexplicably uncomfortable, uncomfortable for no reason?

Su Yun bowed his head and could only be speechless.

There was a sudden silence in the ears, and the music drum not far away gradually became quieter. The crowd in the dance became commotion for some reason. People stopped dancing one after another and looked towards a certain place.

"Who is he?"

"Not from the Northern Territory?"

"It seems to be the boy who rode into the city with the eldest prince this morning."

"..."

Whispering turned into whispering, and countless astonishing and shocking gazes cast towards the corners of the dark place.

It is clear that this is the darkest corner of the bustling square, but this person in front of him... this person, as long as he is there, how can he be so dim?

Su Yun raised his head, and out of the corner of his eye, the girl who had just danced with him stepped back a few steps away at some point, her eyes were extremely surprised, she looked at him, then at the young man, she opened her mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

Su Yun was suddenly alert, this is a busy city, Qi Xuan's status is special, it's not suitable to stay for a long time.

"Your Majesty..." He whispered, but Qi Xuan shook his head lightly, and pointed his gaze behind the wall.He understood and followed him quickly out of the square.

Walking along the wall and gradually entering the deep alley, the sound of people's gongs and drums is left behind, and a thousand-year-old tree is turned around. Behind the tree is a dry well. I don't know who's deserted courtyard. At this time, the lights are dim.

Seeing the person in front of him stopping by the well, Su Yun also stopped a foot away, lowered his head and lifted the corner of his robe: "I pay my respects..."

The arm was blocked.

"Outside, you don't need to be too polite."

Su Yun raised his head.

The young man in front of him was wearing a soft brocade cloud robe, and the gold silk embroidery on the skirt was still shining brightly under the dim light.His expression was indifferent, as usual, only the broken hair on his forehead fluttered without wind, which made his eyes brighter.

Until now, I still feel incredible shock.

Is the one in front of you really Qi Xuan?

How could he be here?

Could it be that he was too drunk so his eyes were dazzled?

Shouldn't he still stay in the imperial city, above the night banquet?

240 questions

"Your Majesty... why are you here?"

His eyes drooped slightly, and when he asked this sentence, his heart jumped inexplicably, as if he was expecting something.

There was a sound of firecrackers in the distance, crackling and reverberating in the deep alley, and he didn't hear him answer until the noise stopped.

"Seeing that you were not in the hall, I asked Sister Qing, saying that she was unwell and went out." Qi Xuan's voice was very soft, even if he didn't raise his head, he could still feel the light in his eyes.

The heartbeat is racing.

So, he came here on purpose?

"What's wrong, why are you still drinking?" He asked.

Another sentence that I don't know how to answer.

Habitually, he bowed and lowered his head, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Just now... it was my humble minister who was rude."

Again.

Qi Xuan smiled wryly, the light in his eyes dimmed.

I thought it would be different tonight.

Ben, there is no extravagance.

I always knew that he stayed, he cared, he followed, everything was just because of guilt and anxiety.

Among the Yuzhou in Yunhe, the words have been made clear.After entering the capital, he repeatedly asked to leave, but it was only because he was relieved that he wanted to run away.

This is a gentleman, whether he is in a cocoon, or he is ignorant and stubborn.In order to compensate, but also for the sake of the country, he is willing to do everything for him.But absolutely, nothing personal.

I have always known it.

Never again, dare not have extravagant hopes.

In this life, in this life, the person in my mind will never respond.

Indifferent, keeping the most appropriate distance, not letting himself fall again.

but tonight...

Tonight, at the banquet, he watched him leave sadly; downstairs with colored lights, he watched him drink and indulge in sex; amidst the sound of drum music, he watched him dance chaotically.

He is so different tonight.

Unable to control it, he pays attention to him, as long as he appears by his side, he will see his every move.

I thought I understood him, and asked myself, why is it different tonight?

Why did you leave?Why drink?Why are you unhappy?

There is a cluster of flames jumping faintly in my heart, lighting up the dark corners of my heart and bringing a ray of light.

However, at this moment, the person in front of him was close to each other, but turned his eyes away, and said polite and respectful words in a humble and appropriate tone.

This person...why always...

Close at hand, out of reach.

241 questions

So close, I somehow feel awkward.

Qi Xuan didn't speak, just looked at him, which made Su Yun feel even more at a loss.

"Your Majesty..."

"Since it's all right," the suddenly interrupted voice carried a bit of the coolness in the winter night wind, and Qi Xuan's tone was impatient, "then go back."

go back?Back to the feast on the tower?

Su Yun moved a step, then paused again.

That feeling of oppression and suffocation rolled up from the bottom of my heart.

No, he can't go back. If he goes back, he may not be able to bear it anymore.

Qi Xuan felt strange after walking a few steps, turned around and saw that Su Yun was still standing where he was.

"how?"

Su Yun bowed and said in a respectful voice, "Your Majesty, please go back first."

"What about you?"

"This is the first time for me to come to the imperial capital, and it happened to be the Double Lantern Festival. I thought..." Su Yun lowered his head, his ears were slightly warm, and he was really not good at lying. .”

There was a moment of silence.

You don't need to look up, you know that the eyes are puzzled and clearly disbelieving.

Su Yun was embarrassed, this lie was clumsy, but he had to explain... the reason, but even he himself didn't quite understand it.

"You like to be lively?" Qi Xuan asked.

How could he not know that he has a quiet and quiet character?Su Yun heard the teasing smile in the words, bit the bullet and had no choice but to nod: "Yes."

"Su Yun..."

He called out, with a thousand words in his chest, but he didn't know what to say or what to say.

"The minister is here." He still had to answer so respectfully.

Qi Xuan frowned, extremely irritable, staring at him, and had no choice but to look away after a while.

With a wave of his hand, "Okay, you can go shopping."

Turning around, not wanting to look at the man again, he walked away quickly.

Su Yun let out a heavy breath.The young man's back gradually receded, hot sweat dripped from his forehead, and he realized how nervous he was just now.

But what are you nervous about?

With a wry smile in my heart, I asked myself, what happened?

"Su Yun."

A sudden call made the heart of the man who raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead jump violently.

Looking up, not far away, the person who had gone away suddenly turned around.The lights were dim, the moonlight was dim, and it was hard to see the expression on his face.

"The minister is here."

After being stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and bowed, still in a respectful posture.

Qi Xuan walked back slowly, his eyes fell on the man's slightly drooping face, and he sighed softly in his heart.

Ask yourself, what is going on?Just can't let go?

"What's your order?" Seeing him coming, he took another step back and asked again.

Qi Xuan smiled wryly, just such a simple sentence could easily repel the courage that had been summoned up so hard.

No, he took a deep breath, he didn't want to go on like this.

"Su Yun, today is the widow's birthday, do you know?"

"Yes, I know."

A jade palm spread out, reaching under the drooping eyes.

"Now that you know, what about your gift?"

"Uh?"

Su Yun was stunned and raised his head unconsciously. In front of him, his thin pale lips curved into a beautiful arc. He smiled at him, his eyes were sly and shining, it was a long-lost look.

"Gift, your gift." Qi Xuan stared into his eyes, and there was a flash of light in the bottom of his eyes.

His heart beat violently, he didn't dare to look any more, and lowered his eyes: "I...haven't had time to prepare yet."

"Then prepare now."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

That hand was spread out in front of his eyes, relentlessly, like that wayward girl.

Somehow it was a thorn in my heart.

Ready now?Obviously playing tricks on him, right?

Su Yun said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I don't have any decent things at hand, can you give me a few more days?"

"It doesn't have to be something expensive to be a gift." Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, the smile deepened on his lips because of joy, and the tip of his eyebrows slightly raised to indicate the lively square behind the deep alley, "I can't see that you dance so well, or , offer a dance for the widow?"

Su Yun's heart sank.

It turned out that he had seen it all.

His gaffe.The crazy spinning that he didn't even understand, in his eyes, must be full of ugly appearances.

Frustrated in my heart, I couldn't help it suddenly, and blurted out: "Your Majesty is joking. If there is no princess with talent and looks, who would dare to perform dances for Your Majesty?"

Qi Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

This tone is so aggressive, these words... so sour.

242 hands

Su Yun was also taken aback, and immediately blushed, regretting her slip of the tongue.

"I'm sorry!"

Qi Xuan smiled: "Su Yun, what did you just say?"

"I..." Su Yun couldn't even raise his head, "...it's nothing."

That embarrassing and shy look is really pleasing to the eye, and he deliberately pushed him again, "You clearly said..."

"Your Majesty," Su Yun interrupted him, his tone almost tinged with anger, "I'm really not good at dancing.
