How many buildings are in the mist

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, everyone went back to be upset, but the royal family was full of joy: the two princesses are still in an environment where there is no dispute with the world, Duan Qichen has nothing to do with the dispute at all, and Zhu Xianwan, the younger brother who always caused trouble, is relieved that he is not involved, let alone Feng Zihuan felt relieved, and the little royal family was also happy.

Originally, the whole family should watch the moon at night, at least after the moon rises.But Feng Xu seemed to have caught a cold and fell ill, so he had to eat early.Feng Zihuan had two concubines, but he never asked them to accompany him at night.At the banquet today, she was in a good mood, holding a glass of wine and said to Duan Qichen: "The royal family is reunited, but it is my fault that I cannot reunite you with your clansmen. I decided to invite your clansmen from Duanbu to Jiankang in winter to congratulate you and meet you. Arrangements In winter, it is mainly to wait for the wind direction to go back, how do you think?"

Duan Qichen immediately got up—according to Zhu Xianwan, he almost jumped up—knelt in front of the imperial court to thank the emperor, and asked for three more glasses of wine to thank the emperor.Feng Zihuan smiled and said: "I can drink this cup to the full, but I can't accompany you for three cups!" Duan Qichen said that if you want your majesty to drink, your majesty will drink one cup, and your concubine will be three goblets!Just drink it.Zhu Xianwan didn't even know who she was going to advise not to drink too much.Duan Qichen is good at drinking, and he has no opponents in the palace, and Jiankang probably has no rivals, because she can drink fast and hastily, and others who drink at her speed have already been overwhelmed by the alcohol that came later; and Feng Zihuan is full of internal energy Zhu Xianwan once heard from her sister that if Feng Zihuan kept practicing the royal family's family kung fu, he could always maintain the number one position in the world, so why not be afraid of fighting wine?She had just persuaded herself not to persuade, Feng Zihuan put down his wine glass and asked Duan Qichen to go back and sit down, and then began to tell the story of the Hongmen Banquet.First ask the two princesses if they know, both of them nodded, then Feng Xi immediately began to recite, and when there was something unclear, Feng Xu would speak out to help her continue to recite.When Fan Kuai came out, Feng Zihuan himself followed and recited it.

"'Strong man! Give me wine!' Ah, think of a real strong man who drinks heavily and eats meat!"

Zhu Xianwan knew that Feng Zihuan was lying in ambush here, she glanced at Duan Qichen, and she really listened intently.

It's over, she thought.

Sure enough, Feng Zihuan asked Duan Qichen to give him wine, "Strong man!" Zhu Xianwan thought to herself that it was because she was too smooth and happy recently, and this Xianbei woman was also too happy.She sat at the bottom of Feng Zihuan, with Duan Qichen beside her, watching the two people around her drink and drink like street people, trying to find something that would not disappoint the two of them and stop them from continuing to drink. .

Fortunately, Feng Zihuan still had a little reason, so he took the initiative to stop.According to Zhu Xianwan's understanding, she had already drank enough, but Duan Qichen insisted on drinking three times the emperor's amount to show respect, and now she was already shaking slightly.

Zhu Xian said wanly, it's broad daylight!

After the banquet was over, she helped Duan Qichen back to Duan Qichen's bedroom, preparing to let the half-drunk person fall asleep and sober up.After putting down the sleeping Duan Qichen, he went out to visit the two princesses, and happened to meet Cui Xuanji on the way. "I pay my respects to Concubine Ning."

Zhu Xianwan saw that she was actually wearing the official uniform of General Habayashi, she seemed to be a good person who was still on duty during the festival, "Where did Master Cui come from?"

"I saw that the eldest daughter of the emperor was absent from the training the day before yesterday, but today I found out that the eldest daughter of the emperor has caught a cold, so I came to visit."

"Oh, Lord Lautrie."

"Your officer should."

"Hmm..." She thought for a while, and finally decided to add: "Your Majesty drank a lot of wine with Concubine Duan at the family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Concubine Duan was already drunk, and it's not convenient for me to keep watching at Your Majesty's side. Master Cui, as a close servant, probably can take an excuse to take care of His Majesty—"

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Cui Xuanji left immediately, and Zhu Xianwan looked at her back.

When it was dark, Feng Zihuan was reading a book in the bedroom, when Cui Xuanji walked in, he was surprised that he didn't smell of alcohol all the way.When Feng Zihuan saw her, the first thing he asked was: "Oh? Did you come to see me for a drink or not?" Then he shook the teacup on the table to Cui Xuanji, and Cui Xuanji understood.

"I didn't drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, so I can always drink some sweet-scented osmanthus tea to soothe the hangover. Come and sit down." He then called the female officer to bring refreshments to Cui Xuanji, and Cui Xuanji took it from the female officer honestly, thanking her.

Feng Zihuan looked at her figure, "You're like this—"

"Ok?"

"I always come on duty during festivals, and let others go to celebrate festivals. As a Zhonglang general, he is too friendly. Besides, this year is not like the past. Yuzhanggong and his wife are both in Jiankang. Their son has already gone to the border, and you ran away again." When I came to the palace, Duke Yuzhang and his wife hated me, what should I do?"

Cui Xuanji smiled and filled Feng Zihuan’s cup—this has become something she basically does not do anything to others when she is present, especially in the bedroom—”Your Majesty is joking. My parents came to Jiankang this time, and they want to say It’s also a reunion with my aunt.”

"Oh? Don't miss you?"

"Well, I think about it for sure. It's just children. Regardless of gender, some of them are missing. I think it's annoying to see them. When they first came, they hadn't had a good day, and my mother started to scold me the next day. As a daughter, she patrols around on horseback all day long, and doesn't pay attention to dressing at all."

Feng Zihuan laughed loudly, "Lingtang—hahahahahaha—lingtang would say that about you?"

"How dare I deceive you."

Feng Zihuan couldn't help laughing, "Hahahahahaha! I never thought of it. I thought that you could be considered a daughter in Yuzhang. After all, it is your family, and you are the eldest son. You are in Yuzhang. Zhang, what kind of life is it like?"

Over tea, two refreshments, and three fruits, Cui Xuanji and Feng Zihuan talked about her youth, how her parents taught her, how Cui Yi and Jiang Yuan appeared occasionally, and how they taught her.Out of self-preservation and not to spoil the relaxed atmosphere, she tried her best to talk about those funny little things. "I thought you were quiet and quiet, but your brother is even more dull. In my impression, Mr. Yuzhang and his wife are not such kind of people. It is enough to be angry to raise you two brothers and sisters, hahahahaha."

Cui Xuanji also laughed, "Yeah, so it's better for the two of them to be together than to bring the two of us."

Feng Zihuan waved his hand, "But no matter how you say it, all parents in the world love their children. Some love them biasedly, some love them unlawfully, and some want to love but dare not. There are all of them. Like me at the time, I still When I was the princess, I often saw the teacher beat Zhu Hezhi when I went in and out of Zhu's mansion. Unfortunately, no matter how I beat him, he was disobedient and useless. Do you know? He was only so old at that time, so he knew how to play around outside , and even ran to me and begged me to help him cover it up—it’s really daring to rush into the palace without a summons!"

"Aren't you going to be beaten to death by Mr. Zhu?"

"More than that! I have been locked up at home for two months! Alas, the teacher always hoped to raise a son who was like him, and even surpassed him. Unfortunately, his wish was in vain. When you were young, Yuzhang and his wife treated you Don't you have any requests?"

"No. My parents only want us to grow up smoothly, and it's best to contribute to the country. It doesn't matter if we can't, but we can't cause trouble. My aunt has more demands on us."

"Cui Xiang asks you like this, probably I hope someone will replace her."

Cui Xuanji was uncharacteristically—perhaps it was the effect of the rising moon—and told the truth to Feng Zihuan: "Maybe. My aunt also wants to leave the court as soon as possible, and return to Yuzhang Mountain with Jiang Yuan's ashes." .”

It was quiet for a while, as if everyone in the know could feel melancholy at this moment.

"When I was young, I used to learn archery from Jiang Yuan." Cui Xuanji was the first to break the silence, and Feng Zihuan immediately followed up the topic: "I remember that Jiang Yuan's martial arts are first-class, especially this kind of actual combat skills on the battlefield. Unfortunately, the sky is dark today Tonight, I will ask you to perform for me in the future, I have never been good at archery."

"Your Majesty is joking, hunting on weekdays, His Majesty's bow skills are more than good."

"Come on, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I have little time to practice. Even if I have no one to practice with me, I don't know how much my martial arts have regressed. What's more, when hunting, I just seize the opportunity to aim and add a little internal strength. If you use your own internal strength to assist, you are not good at archery. Now, among the six arts {91}, you are not only proficient in ritual, music, archery, and calligraphy, but also good at it. How about the other two?"

"Almost impossible."

"I don't believe it, but you always will."

Feng Zihuan just wanted to say "You are not allowed to deceive the emperor", but he was afraid of making Cui Xuanji kneel down, so he waited for Cui Xuanji to refuse again, so he gave up.

Facing sitting and admiring the moon, Feng Zihuan wanted to call someone to fetch wine, but Cui Xuanji hurriedly stopped him, and Feng Zihuan said: "Just admiring the moon is boring. If you don't do anything else, you will be sorry for the moon. Chess? No, no, the light is not enough, playing chess is difficult for the eyes. Let's dance the sword for fun!" Cui Xuanji said that you have an idea at this moment, and none of them are good ideas!

"Your Majesty, I think these chestnuts and water chestnuts are very good. Why don't you just eat and drink, and I will tell Your Majesty some more stories."

Feng Zihuan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Cui Xuanji to treat himself in a way that was close to treating a child, "Okay, tell me, I will listen. But I ask you, firstly, you must not be the same as the old story, and secondly, you must not be the same as the old story. I have heard it before. When it comes to the moon and the climax, I will not drink until it is repeated; if it is repeated, I will punish you three cups!" Cui Xuanji replied with a smile, peeling chestnuts and water chestnuts for Feng Zihuan, while Start telling a story.She has heard more than a hundred stories from Cui Yi and Jiang Yuan since she was a child, and she is good at reading barnyard official and unofficial histories, as long as she picks a few rare ones, she is even sure to coax Feng Zihuan to be the same until tomorrow morning.

Talking, talking, talking about Feiyan's Seven Treasures Shelter, and Yan Taizidan not leaving Qin. When the moon was approaching, she began to tell the strange story of "Yangxian Goose Cage {92}" that she had just heard recently.The more she spoke later, the more her voice became more and more emotional. Every time she said "swallow back", she ate a water chestnut; when the girl was swallowed back by the scholar at the end, she ate a chestnut.After finishing speaking, Feng Zihuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "You made this up yourself, or did you get it from somewhere?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I heard it from the day before yesterday when I was resting with my friends in the market."

"How exciting! Why don't I reward you, and you go reward the storyteller!"

Of course, Cui Xuanji would do whatever she wanted, after all, his goal had already been achieved.Seeing that Feng Zihuan had finished eating the water chestnuts and chestnuts, he quickly peeled them for her.Seeing this, Feng Zihuan felt tenderness in his heart, and wanted to reach out to hold the hand that usually held the knife mightily, but now peeled the chestnuts deftly, but in the end he didn't reach out.

"I asked you to do so much for me on weekdays, and now I want you to peel the chestnuts. It's really hard for you." She said softly.

Cui Xuanji froze for a moment, then continued to peel the chestnuts, not knowing how to answer.

Today, someone challenged Ting Wei again in the court, thinking that Ting Wei was not good at investigating the case, and the real culprit who assassinated the emperor has not yet been found. The pressure of the defense is raised so much.Feng Zihuan knew it was a tortuous revenge, so he suppressed it.But Feng Zihuan also thought about it, Cui Xuanji has been in the palace for so long, is it really necessary to keep her?

If it is because of safety considerations, Cui Xuanji's mission has basically been completed.She is gone, and the established mechanism can still operate as usual.Always keeping Cui Xuanji by my side, saying that it's just for safety, isn't it too tiring for her?Otherwise, change her seat so that she can be a servant without being so busy and tiring?

But on an irrational level, she just didn't want to let Cui Xuanji go.Cui Xuanji was by her side, making her feel a long-lost joy.After all, what an intimate confidant she enjoys in it.This is much better than having no friends, only sister and no interest in government affairs.It was because of Cui Xuanji's appearance that she didn't feel lonely.

She almost wanted to thank those assassins.

"Xuanji, Zhenri asked you to follow me, do you feel bored?"

"His Majesty--"

"To be honest, don't be polite, and don't salute."

"I don't think so. I think it's good to be quiet. What's more, I can speak my mind immediately when His Majesty needs it."

"Don't you like going outside to play?"

"I never thought there was anything fun. In Jiankang City, I have no interest in wine fighting, chatting, and Azalea."

"No wonder Lingtang wants to talk about you! Hahahahaha! I plan, after September, you can arrange my guards to be their own shifts. You don't have to count your own, you can come every day, It doesn’t matter if you don’t come to ask for leave, at least you have to come to major festivals. In order not to make it a permanent one, it will attract criticism, and you don’t have to work so hard.”

Feng Zihuan picked up the chestnuts and threw them into his mouth. They were indeed sweet and delicious, "Otherwise, you will be exhausted and sick. Duke Yuzhang and Xiang Cui will not agree!"

"Yes." Cui Xuanji had no choice but to answer.Of course, both of them knew in their hearts that she must still come every day.Even if he has the right to walk freely in the palace, he will not run around.

The two of them peeled and ate each other quietly like this, and occasionally said a few words to chat about their respective childhoods, peaceful and beautiful.On the other side, Zhu Xianwan didn't feel quiet and beautiful anymore.Because Duan Qichen was drunk until now and has not woken up, he has been sleeping.She came here with hangover soup, who knew that Duan Qichen was such a "not awake" when she came; she asked the Xianbei maids, and the maids said that it was rare, and she was a little worried.Zhu Xianwan then decided to stay and wait and see.

I didn't know that waiting and waiting, this guy fell asleep and snored.

Why should I spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here?Zhu Xianwan thought, I must be crazy.

At this moment, Duan Qichen seemed to wake up—Bao Buqi was woken up by her own snoring—she looked at Zhu Xianwan who was sitting on the side, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing here?"

The author has something to say:

{91} Li, Yue, She, Yu, Shu, Shu.Li simply means etiquette, music refers to musical instruments, archery refers to archery, royal refers to the technique of driving a carriage, book refers to literature, and counting refers to counting.

{92} It comes from Wu Jun's "Continued Qi Harmony" written by Liang in the Southern Dynasty. It is a very peculiar story with a huge brain hole.The author read it in Lu Xun's "A Brief History of Chinese Fiction".Although this article is superficial, part of it still selects the background of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, so this story is set as a rumor at that time, not from the previous generation.Of course, if this allusion is mentioned in a fictional story, the year number in the original text must be changed. In order to save trouble, the author does not quote the original text in the text.There is a saying that this story is adapted from the "Old Miscellaneous Metaphors", which also appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is also consistent.
