Leaning on the railing Jiangyue

The eve of the banquet has been prepared for a long time, but the actual banquet is only a day of reception and a day of departure.

Xu Fengjin stayed in the study, waiting for Zhao Yu to eat together, Zhao Yu was drawing with a brush, and Xu Fengjin was lying on the opposite side of the table, holding his chin and watching the blush on his earlobe gradually fade away.

Both of them had plain faces, but they didn't know what to think in their hearts.

Zhao Yu originally painted half a pair of bluegrass, but turned into a red plum after a few strokes. No matter how uneducated Xu Fengjin felt something was wrong, he asked, "Did the prince dip in the wrong ink?"

Zhao Yu paused, and saw the spring sword and lotus in the brush suddenly produce a little red glow, and smiled uncomfortably: "That's right, I just want to paint plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum."

Xu Fengjin only knew how to draw a tortoise bastard, so he didn't say much if he didn't understand it, but he felt that the dead branches and plum trees were inexplicably sticking out of the orchid bushes, which seemed disorganized.

Could it be that Zhao Wangye's face is calm and calm, but his heart is already startled?Xu Fengjin raised his eyebrows, looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see any clues, and said, "My lord, when are we going to have dinner?"

Zhao Yu asked: "Is the princess hungry?"

Xu Fengjin nodded: "The hunger is unbearable."

"Then let's go later." Zhao Yu put down his pen and said: "East people are good at drinking and singing, from an old man in his eighties to a five-year-old child, everyone can drink. If Xiao Shizi respects you, you should drink less a little."

Xu Fengjin made a face and said, "He doesn't respect me, he wishes he could treat me as a display."

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "It also depends on whether you are a real display or a fake display."

The night is like a curtain, more than a dozen low sandalwood tables are placed in the open garden, and rows of lanterns are hung high. The lamps are made of high-quality white silk, as thin as a cicada's wing, and the silk is embroidered with pine cranes, flowers and birds with fine gold threads. Unconventional and elegant, at this time the crescent moon is like a hook, raise your glass and raise your eyes, the chess and stars are scattered, and Yu Yu shines brightly.

Sitting opposite each other, Xiao Di and Zhao Xu raised their glasses to each other: "I'll toast Brother Yu again." Then he drank it down in one gulp, Zhao Yuqian made him sit down with a drop.

Then came the gossip, although Xiao Di could drink, but his posture was very scary, he never stopped drinking a cup, and glanced at Xu Fengjin from time to time, his eyes became more and more sad, his face was flushed in a short time, and his posture was unstable .

Xu Fengjin was really treated as a decoration, and he was very happy. He ate and drank the whole meal. He tasted all the rare delicacies. The dishes were ordered by him, and he specially selected some that he had never seen before. , I can't wait to discuss with him, how can a bowl of thick white soup taste so good that even my tongue wants to swallow it together?After I finished drinking this bowl, I glanced at Zhao Yu's bowl, saw that he was talking to Xiao Di, he didn't move at all, secretly pulled it into my hand, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

It was too late for Zhao Yu to find out, so he took the empty bowl and said, "Don't drink too much, take a tonic, I'm afraid you'll get angry."

Xu Fengjin licked the corner of his mouth and asked, "Which soup is this?"

Zhao Yu said: "Ganoderma lucidum and asparagus soup, the dew is a deer..."

Xu Fengjin's eyes lit up: "What about Ganoderma lucidum? Then I'll drink another bowl!"

Zhao Yu said, "No."

Xu Fengjin said: "Why is your lord so stingy? The son on the other side is going to drink up all your wine, and you don't stop him."

Zhao Yu frowned: "How can this be the same?"

Xu Fengjin said, "What's the difference?"

Zhao Yu patted the back of his hand to reassure him: "He is a guest from afar, the princess should not mess around."

Xu Fengjin struggled to break free, and said in a low voice, "Why am I messing around, it's just that I drank too much soup, the lord and the prince should drink, I'll retire first."

Zhao Yu's face was a little stern: "Princess, you must not understand the rules."

Xu Fengjin had no choice but to sit down obediently, and looked at Xiao Di who was still drinking, and Xiao Di was also looking at him with drunken eyes, Xu Fengjin rolled his eyes at him bluntly, and murmured a few words in a low voice, all of which were seen by others.

Leaving the banquet after the meal, Xiao Di was drunk and was helped back to his room to rest, and Xu Fengjin also went back to the inner house, as if he was not allowed to drink soup, and he was greatly wronged.

Cheng Qiao didn't know why, so when she changed Zhao Yu's clothes, she made arrangements: "Xu Fengjin really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. It's obviously for his own good that the prince doesn't let him drink soup, but he has a lot of temper!"

Zhao Yu changed into a light long gown, unfolded his folding fan and said with a smile, "Then go and see the consequences of his ignorance." Stepping out of the threshold, he said, "By the way, bring some more silk."

Xu Fengjin's whole body was hot at this time, wearing a thin silk jacket with a red gauze sleeve, leaning on the porch and shaking the fan, his mouth was dry.

Cen Ling asked him, "Is Ah Jin still asleep?"

Xu Fengjin shook it a few more times: "Help me pour some deep well water to save my life, it needs to be cold." What kind of evil is this soup? After a while, it still feels dry in the nose.

Just as Cen Ling was about to prepare, he saw Zhao Yu leading Cheng Qiao into the small courtyard of the inner house. Xu Fengjin seemed to be standing there waiting for him, raising his eyes with his clothes open, and said lazily, "Yo, Mr. Zhao, you are a rare visitor."

Prince Zhao staggered and almost fell, Xu Fengjin's voice, he knew it was Prince Yu's Mansion, but he didn't know it was Goulan Courtyard.

Zhao Yu kept his figure steady: "Princess, speak well."

Xu Fengjin didn't agree, and swayed in front of Prince Zhao, hooked the jade belt around his waist, brushed his fingers over his chest, and rolled his eyes: "Why did the prince think of this slave today?"

Prince Zhao didn't hide, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Is the princess not angry?"

"How can you not be angry?" Xu Fengjin was playing with the buckle under his neck, and just about to untie it, he suddenly raised his head, still complaining: "The prince is partial to the prince of the foreign vassal, let him drink freely, but forbids me Drink two bowls of soup."

Zhao Yu helped him lift his chin, his eyes sparkled: "After only drinking two bowls, Wangfei has nosebleeds, what should I do if I drink more?" He said and handed him a piece of cotton to cover his nose.

Xu Fengjin gasped: "Ganoderma lucidum and asparagus soup sounds refreshing and appetizing, is it so nourishing?"

Zhao Yu suppressed a smile, and ordered Cheng Qiao to put a basin of water on the stone table in the yard, took the extra cotton, soaked it in the water and wrung it dry, let Xu Fengjin sit down with his head up, and wiped it off for him: "I was going to tell the princess, Lu, it’s not Lushui’s Lu, but I think the word deer is too straightforward, making people think of a deer whip, which is too indecent.”

Xu Fengjin was startled and said: "Deer penis? Others will think of deer antler, who would think of deer penis? The royal family has nothing to do with such a tonic soup, it has enough stamina like a dick." He also complained: "Look, my lord. My nose, look at my dry red lips, the lord moistens my throat without mouth to mouth..."

Zhao Yu guessed that he had nothing good to say next, pressed his lips with a clean silk, wiped it lightly, and said: "The dishes are all chosen by the princess herself, and there are annotations on the list, you just don't want to read them. I only identified Ganoderma lucidum, so who can I blame?"

Xu Fengjin had nothing to say, and when Zhao Yu left his fingers, he felt a lot more comfortable on his lips, and then teased, "Then, is the lord here to lighten my fire tonight?"

I thought that Zhao Yu was going to say that he was too worried, but he said: "This king is here to stay overnight."

"Stay overnight?" Xu Fengjin was stunned. He expected that Zhao Yu would come to put on a show tonight, but he didn't expect to stay overnight, so he immediately got up proudly, with the face of a feng shui lord: "If the prince wants to come to my place to stay overnight, he will stay overnight? Marry me?" I have been so long, let me stay alone in the empty room for two months, and now come whenever I want? Have you asked me?"

Seeing that he was still puffed up with two lines of nosebleeds, Zhao Yu smiled humbly and said: "Then I will ask the princess now, the king wants to stay in the inner house today, is the princess willing?"

Xu Fengjin pretended to ask for a while, but couldn't hide his smile, so he whispered softly, "My lord is so pitiful, so I'll stay with you overnight." bed, tomorrow I will find a rope and hang myself.”

Nonsense

The window bamboos were dark, at this time in the middle of the night, the courtyard on the north side of the palace was completely silent, occasionally there were a few whispers, which could not be heard clearly.

As soon as Xiao Di changed from being drunk at the banquet, he sat at the table holding a candle and frowned, "What did you say?"

The entourage was dressed in high-grade official uniforms, presumably they were high-ranking officials of the eastern genus, sitting on an equal footing with him: "King Yu lives in the inner house."

"really?"

"Yes."

Xiao Di was surprised: "Didn't Master Feng say that the concubine is probably fake! How come they still live together?"

The entourage said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry... This subordinate believes that it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. If it is false, it can prove that King Yu has been pretending for so many years. If it is true, then he can provoke a few words, and just tear it down. Besides, I think the princess is kind. Being self-willed and self-willed, not all men are willing to bear it."

It's true that few people like Xu Fengjin can stand it, and thanks to Zhao Yu's boldness, he went to bed knowing that he had mischievous intentions towards him. Fortunately, this time Xu Fengjin was obedient, rolled up a thin quilt by himself, and lay down in a well-behaved manner. , Xu Fengjin just went to bed and drank a lot of cold water from a deep well, calmed down a lot, stared at the bed curtain for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, so he turned sideways and said to Zhao Yu who was sleeping with his eyes closed, "Your Highness is asleep?"

Zhao Yu: "Yes."

Xu Fengjin chuckled and said, "I guess the prince dare not sleep."

Zhao Yu asked, "Why don't you dare?"

Xu Fengjin said: "My lord is afraid that what I say won't count, so I got up in the middle of the night to crawl under your bed while you were asleep."

Zhao Yu said: "Since the king has come up, he believes in the princess."

Xu Fengjin said: "I don't think the prince has anyone he can match."

Zhao Yu opened his eyes, turned sideways and looked at him: "I can't trust the princess, why should I use you?"

Xu Fengjin said: "The lord at most believes that I will not disobey you for the time being, so he doesn't tell me in detail when encountering things. A sentence or two can be regarded as a guide. I can understand it as soon as I can understand it. If I don't understand the lord, I won't care too much."

Zhao Yu's brows were much calmer, and he was probably tired of fake smiles all day: "Princess Wang is smart, she can understand a sentence or two."

"Then what if I'm stupid?"

"If you are stupid, this king will not use you."

Xu Fengjin thought he was praising himself: "However, the lord is kind to me. He didn't tell me anything when he came here, and now he tells me that people in the East are good at drinking and singing and won't get drunk." He was quite content, He said again: "I just don't know when the prince will believe my sincerity."

"This king..."

Xu Fengjin didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, the lord has no one else in mind, so I have every chance, and I'm not afraid of anyone robbing me, if one comes, I'll hit one, if one comes, I'll kill the other. "As he spoke, he wanted to move and waved his hands, obviously because he drank too much tonic soup and had no energy to use.

Zhao Yu said: "Do you think you beat the guests in the south hall?"

Xu Fengjin said: "I don't care who it is, as long as you don't compete with me for the prince, I won't care about him."

Zhao Yu smiled: "Go to bed earlier."

"Wait." Xu Fengjin said, "I still have a question."

Zhao Yu signaled him to say.

"During this period of time, have I felt a little different in the prince's mind?"

Zhao Yu didn't say a word, and if he said nothing, it would be false, but he still had a problem in his heart, so he had to close his eyes and lie down.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Fengjin was overjoyed, and hurried over to him: "Your Majesty's silence is a tacit consent?"

Zhao Yu turned his back to him.

Xu Fengjin stretched his head again, put his hand on his arm and shook it lightly: "Is it?"

Zhao Yu remained silent, Xu Fengjin said again: "Why is the lord so coy and like a girl? If you have it, you don't. If you are a man, you should be upright and magnanimous. A lord should not be like this..." His words The chattering is aggressive and flattering, quickly catching up with the chirping birds in the forest.

Zhao Yu sighed helplessly, turned around and looked at him again, saw his eyes shining brightly, raised his hand and pressed his head in his arms, only then made the room completely quiet.

After a while, I heard faintly again, "My lord is pressing too tightly, I'm almost out of breath, you want to suffocate me so I won't answer?"

Zhao Yu replied with "um" alone, but he didn't know which sentence he answered.

Xu Fengjin rubbed his arms in his arms: "Will the lord tell me, what does the prince come to do?"

Zhao Yu hid his fingers in his hair: "Xiao Shizi is related to Feng Xiang, but it is just a pawn of others, so don't worry about it."

Xu Fengjin nodded: "Then...does he really like the prince?"

"I don't know." Zhao Wangye said in his heart: I can't even tell whether you are real or not, so I don't have time to care about others.

Xu Fengjin pouted: "Then how should I deal with it?"

"Wangfei can do whatever she wants, just tease him."

The next day Zhao Yu had to go to the palace, Xu Fengjin slept until the sun was shining and got up to study, he is not lazy now, he is happy to squat in the outer house every day and go out every day, so that Zhao Yu can see him all the time, but today he has not After waiting for Zhao Yu, Xiao Di waited.

Xu Fengjin rolled his eyes, pretending he didn't see it, and asked Cen Ling to close the window.

Xiao Di stepped into the study and took the initiative to talk: "Princess doesn't seem to want to see me?"

Xu Fengjin said: "No way, it's just that the wind outside blows over the calligraphy I just wrote."

Xiao Di looked at his pile of dog crawling characters, and said with disgust: "Is the princess somewhat hostile to me?"

Xu Fengjin said: "I'm the one who asked the prince, right? Does the prince think I'm pleasing to the eye?"

Xiao Di didn't hide his emotions, and hummed: "I didn't expect the princess to see it."

Xu Fengjin said: "Do you think I'm blind or stupid? I care so much about Yu Lang, I can see what other people have bad thoughts about him."

"I'm not in a bad mood." Xiao Di clenched his fists when he heard the title, and said again: "Wangfei has only had a relationship with Wangye for a few days, I'm afraid it can't compare to our acquaintance when we were young."

Xu Fengjin slapped the pen on the table: "So what should we do when we are young? When I met the prince, I was unmarried and unmarried. I had no one in my heart. We fell in love at first sight and got married. We made an appointment for three lives and three generations. Who cares if you come first? You are the latecomer at this time, and you dare to be on top of me?"

Xiao Di was still young, so he was taken aback by what he said, so he could only say: "My lord is gentle with others, so it is natural for me to show mercy."

Xu Fengjin asked, "How did he treat you?"

When Xiao Di took the bait, he proudly said: "I am not a direct son. When I was young, there were few others to talk to. My father and mother did not love me. I have been to the capital twice. Only Brother Yu treated me kindly, which made me feel that the world is not perfect." They are indifferent people, when encountering difficulties and obstacles, I can survive as long as I think of Brother Yu, and my Han name is also given by Brother Yu, I love Yu..."

Xu Fengjin didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly said: "In other words, over the years, it is my husband who made my son feel that life is still fun, and I am grateful?"

Xiao Di sincerely said: "Exactly."

Xu Fengjin raised his eyebrows: "Then my husband, isn't he kind to your son?"

Xiao Di was puzzled: "En?"

Xu Fengjin bypassed the book case, invited Xiao Di to the flower hall, and arranged for Cen Ling to serve tea, leaving the tea powder aside to change his arrogance just now: "I think the son's love for my husband is not love."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Fengjin had the attitude of someone who came here: "Most of the kindness is mixed with gratitude, I want to repay him, I want to follow him, but love is not the case. Love is all about the dryness and lingering between two people. No repayment is mixed with gratitude, not fame and fortune. He is a woodcutter , I sat in the forest with him, made tea and listened to the rain, he is the prince, and I spent the prosperity with him, the golden cups are facing each other." He said earnestly: "When I was young, I also had a benefactor. He saved my life. Teach me how to be a man, without him, I would have been reincarnated more than ten or twenty times, how could I have the opportunity to talk to the prince here?"

Xiao Di was confused by what he said: "But I am different to Brother Yu."

Xu Fengjin nodded: "Of course it's different, because he treats you kindly. If I find that life-saving benefactor, I will repay his kindness to me. I will even respect his family members. I won't think about it all day long. How to sow discord and destroy the relationship between husband and wife, let alone have any unreasonable thoughts to breed love."

Xiao Di was wishful thinking at first, but Xu Fengjin's nonsense made some sense.At this time, Zhao Yu came in, and he didn't know when he came back from the palace. Seeing Xiao Di smiled, he said, "Did your son rest well last night?"

Xiao Di said: "Very good, thank you for your concern." He listened to Xu Fengjin's nonsense, and when he saw Zhao Yu again, he felt a little awkward, and only chatted a few words, then left, and went to think about the words secretly.

Xu Fengjin shook his fan, leaned against the porch and said to Xiao Di's far away back: "Do you really dare to be affectionate to my husband? See if I won't make arrangements for you to go back." Just as he was about to enter the room, he happened to meet Zhao Yu's meaningful smiling face , and asked: "What bad idea is the prince thinking?"

Zhao Yu said: "It's nothing, the concubine just mentioned the savior when she was young?"

Xu Fengjin: "Well, benefactor is in the capital, and I will look for him after I send this prince away."

"Oh." Zhao Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and said again: "Wangfei really won't have any unreasonable thoughts about that benefactor?"

Xu Fengjin laughed and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I only have unreasonable thoughts about my lord in this life."
