How many buildings are in the mist

Those people were indeed spies sent by Murong Yanguo to spy, but they were all low-ranking spies sent by the same prince.Feng Zihuan tried it himself, and felt that it was not worth paying attention to. He discussed it with the courtiers. Anyway, the two countries will not fight for the time being. Not to mention—he beat up this group of people, abolished their martial arts, and sent them back.Order the border guards to pay attention to defense, that's all.

The results of the civil service were announced, those who should be sent out, those who should go home, Feng Zihuan intends to ask the court to complete the notification of the new officials before the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the new officials must complete the notice on the [-]th day of February. Arrive, because the emperor will hold a banquet that day to celebrate with his ministers.Those who were fined by the imperial court are still doing white jobs, and they are still trembling when they finally keep their seats. No one has any objections.Could it be that Feng Zihuan happily announced that this is the way to do it!

I thought to myself, I am going to celebrate the New Year!

On New Year's Eve, Feng Zihuan naturally had to worship the ancestors early in the morning. She led her two daughters, Feng Zizhang, and two concubines to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet.Of course, Cui Xuanji was on duty at the door.Feng Zihuan said that you should go home to rest and eat today, and you will come at night anyway, so you don't need to be there during the day.She said how dare she be careless on such an important day?The implication is that she is not at ease in entrusting these matters to anyone.Feng Zihuan didn't bother to order again and again, after all, he should feel at ease with Cui Xuanji around, he didn't know that Cui Xuanji wanted to accompany him.

Of course, dinner was rushed back to eat.When she came back early, she asked the deputy in charge, where is His Majesty?The deputy said that dinner was already underway, "The whole family is here." She rushed over, and heard Feng Xi's voice from a long distance, listening carefully to the content, it seemed that she was playing pitching pot {100}.She didn't go in, and went around the palace to check the guards for anything suspicious.As he walked, he heard voices from inside.It seems that Concubine Duan drank again and participated in the game; Feng Xu should have voted very well, because every time she voted, Feng Xi would shout beside her, and she always shared the honor with her sister; as for Feng Xi's own vote Well, judging from her voice, the first arrow probably hit the second arrow and the second arrow missed. Now she is very well prepared for the third arrow and is very careful...

"oops!"

It seems to miss.

And Feng Zihuan was laughing, and Zhu Xianwan was reporting the score, so it can be seen that Feng Zihuan is the master of ceremonies, and Zhu Xianwan is the minister.

Feng Zihuan had already heard Cui Xuanji's footsteps, and let her go to inspect first.When she walked around and returned to the gate of the hall, she shouted loudly: "Xuan Ji, come in." Cui Xuanji came in and greeted everyone one by one, and then wished everyone well, Feng Zihuan said: "Would you like to come in?" Join the competition?" She knew that today is a holiday, and Cui Xuanji expected that she would not refuse to spoil the fun, "Naturally."

really.She smiled and said, "Then which team do you want to join?" Cui Xuanji asked which team was behind, and she said it was the team of the two princesses, "Do you want to join them? Their opponents are the ones on the opposite side." Concubine Zhang and Concubine Duan!" Cui Xuanji said that the three adults and two children would be invincible in the competition, and I would still be with the princess.

"Then come on, come on!" The female officials stepped forward to clean up the place, Cui Xuanji stood beside Feng Xi, Feng Xi was very excited and eager to try; while Feng Xu stood aside and whispered to Cui Xuanji, "Cui Qing You only need to hit three arrows. Concubine Duan is probably going to die soon."

Hearing this, Cui Xuanji looked at Concubine Duan who was staggering opposite, and said to Feng Xu in a lower voice: "Don't underestimate Concubine Duan, she is from Xianbei after all."

"With Cui Qing, are we still afraid of Xianbei people?" Feng Xu said, Cui Xuanji smiled.

Feng Zizhang went first and hit all four shots; then Feng Xu made three of four shots, forty to 35.When Duan Qichen came again, he also hit all four shots; but when Feng Xi came up, because he was too nervous, he only hit one of the four shots, and the score became [-]-[-]. She sat back and got angry with herself, her cheeks puffed up.

Feng Zihuan looked at his little daughter, who looked funny and cute, and burst out laughing.Cui Xuanji picked up the arrow and weighed the arrow between his fingers, at this moment Duan Qichen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think that even if Master Cui hits all four shots this time, the two sides can only draw. Win or lose; it’s better to increase the difficulty a little bit, if Master Cui can beat the difficulty and make a hit, he will add five points and win; if he can’t, five points will be deducted and he will lose. I don’t know what your majesty thinks?”

Cui Xuanji really wanted to say yes, and felt that you couldn't stop me anyway.But Feng Zihuan said: "That depends on what obstacles you want to set up for her." Duan Qichen glanced at his teammates, Feng Zizhang said: "We think it's better to put a screen {101} in front of the pot." Hearing this, Xi became angry, but was held down by Feng Xu.

Feng Zihuan glanced at both sides, leaned over and asked Cui Xuanji, "What does General Zhonglang think?"

"Follow His Majesty's will. I think it is very good."

Feng Zihuan immediately ordered someone to carry up a glass screen.After the screen was put in place, Cui Xuanji pinched the body of the arrow with three fingers and looked at the screen a little.When Feng Zihuan announced the start, she threw four arrows in a row, and all of them fell into the pot in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Xianwan shook her head with a smile, looked at Duan Qichen and said, "Team A wins." Then announced a penalty of drinking.Cui Xuanji didn't dare to go forward to deliver the wine, but the two princesses cheerfully filled the wine glasses and sent them to the two people opposite. The other party was an elder, so they didn't have to kneel.Duan Qichen told Feng Zizhang that I came up with the idea, and I drank it all; Feng Zizhang said that the throwing pot team is also a comrade-in-arms, so it doesn't have to be so: both of them drank two big cups.When the two princesses came back, Cui Xuanji asked Fengxu in a low voice, if they were defeated, would they drink?

"How could it be? Mother said she would take her place. Cui Qing is helping mother."

Everyone laughed and chatted for a while, and Feng Zihuan ordered Cui Xuanji to be seated.Duan Qichen said: "Master Cui is so good at throwing pots, it's really admirable. Even I, who has been riding and shooting as a family skill since childhood, can't compare. When my people come, I will ask you to compete with them. "Zhu Xianwan squeezed her hand below as a warning.Cui Xuanji answered yes at this time, Duan Qichen thanked her, and then glanced at Zhu Xianwan, his eyes seemed to say, "Why, I didn't drink too much, don't worry, don't you think this is pretty good".Seeing that Cui Xuanji was very relaxed today, Feng Zihuan came up with a plan, and asked Duan Qichen what the competition was for.Duan Qichen said that he would try riding and shooting, "Otherwise, if the clansmen of the concubines compete with Lord Cui in the poetry competition, they will definitely lose." Talking about this matter again, it seems that the court made things difficult for them, making them unprepared, and it would be a waste of time to give way at that time; how about today, through archery, we decide who will do it first, what do you think? Duan Qichen was taken aback, Feng Zihuan added: "Anyway, this is a private agreement between you and Xuanji, I think it's best to deal with it like this."

Duan Qichen was good at guessing Feng Zihuan's thoughts, so he understood immediately at this moment, and said: "It's the best. It's just how to compete, please show your Majesty." Feng Zihuan said it was simple, "Just ask Zhonglang to shoot arrows, if he can reach the goal Lian' and 'Jingyi' {102}, she wins, and she will go first; if she can't, she will lose, and the Duanbu mission will go first, what do you think?"

How could Duan Qichen have a reason to say something bad?She has seen today that her people are probably not Cui Xuanji's opponents. Cui Xuanji alone beats all five of them; what about state affairs and private matters, should she not let her talk about it?The emperor just wanted to take the opportunity to have fun, but he couldn't directly order Cui Xuanji to perform, for fear of hurting others' hearts.

Ouch, Duan Qichen thought, really.

Cui Xuanji's thoughts are simpler, if you want me to perform, I will perform for you.She has a clear sense of intimacy and closeness in her heart. She won't mind if someone close makes her like this, but she will get angry if someone estranged dares to ask her so. As for Feng Zihuan, of course you can ask me to do anything.

"Xuan Ji, what do you think?"

"Follow His Majesty's will."

So the people left the table and came into the open space.The archery targets and bows and arrows have all been placed, and there are only four arrows, it seems that there is not much chance.Everyone stood in the corridor, Cui Xuanji walked alone, put the quiver behind his back, adjusted the position, then picked up the bow and arrow, took a deep breath, looked at the target, and was silent like a stone statue.

Of course she knows that everyone is looking at her, but she should have no one in her heart, because Jiang Yuan taught so.But she couldn't avoid Feng Zihuan.

what am i doing hereI'm here to show my skills and please her a little bit.

She shot suddenly, so fast that Zhu Xianwan, who had no martial arts at all, could hardly see her movements clearly. In less than a blink of an eye, not only did the arrows connect like beads and hit the bull's-eye, but the arrows behind even divided the arrows in front. Second, the first arrow that went in was so powerful that it shot through the target.

Duan Qichen shook his head lightly, thinking how much trouble I caused myself just by joking.

Later, when everyone was drunk and cold, Feng Zihuan asked everyone to disperse, and he and Cui Xuanji returned to the bedroom. "You are really good today." As soon as the two of them sat down, Feng Zihuan asked someone to serve wine, and even more. Cui Xuanji felt that it was New Year's Eve after all, so she let her go.

"Your Majesty wants me to show it in public, how can I disappoint His Majesty."

"Yes, yes, this year, not only did you not disappoint me, you even overjoyed me. Come on." When the wine was served, Feng Zihuan asked all the serving ladies to go down, and poured a cup for Cui Xuanji himself. , Cui Xuanji immediately got up to pick it up, even saying he didn't dare, Feng Zihuan said: "It's only once a year, if you don't enjoy it, sit down."

Cui Xuanji had no choice but to take the wine glass, clinked glasses with Feng Zihuan, and talked about the memories of the year, most of which were happy things.He even took the embarrassing things caused by the aristocratic family as a joke. For some reason, the trivial things that he usually despises sound funny today.In order to make Feng Zihuan happy, Cui Xuanji even brought up unreliable rumors in the market.

After laughing for a while, Feng Zihuan suddenly suggested: "Drinking like this is a bit boring, and it's cold outside, so we can't go out. Why don't we just play with Tibetan hooks?"

"Your Majesty, it's just you and me, why hide?"

"It's nothing more than two fists and four hands, left, right, left, right! Those who guessed correctly drink, and those who didn't guess correctly drink! Come, come, come!" Then he took off a jade pendant from his body, put his hands behind his back, He turned his left and right hands back and forth, pretending to make big movements, and then stretched out two fists, "Guess."

Sure enough, Cui Xuanji guessed wrong.A fine drink.This cup is not too big or too small, about one or two cups.After she finished drinking, Feng Zihuan smiled and handed the jade pendant to Cui Xuanji.The two started playing, you had a glass and I had a glass, and soon they drank several bottles.Cui Xuanji was already in a haze, she didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or some other happy things, she felt a little drunk.

Feng Zihuan was no exception, and he also couldn't understand why he was happy at the moment. It was surprising that he hadn't been so relaxed and happy for many years; but it didn't matter, after all, Cui Xuanji was very good-looking at this time.She is also relaxed, her face is flushed, why not appreciate it?

"Xuanji."

"His Majesty?"

"I'm curious, um..."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"You are such a noble daughter, has no one ever come to ask for marriage?"

Cui Xuanji's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, paused, and said in a low voice: "My parents always want to follow me, and my aunt also feels that there is no need to worry, so..."

"Ah, then I really want to thank Duke Yuzhang and his wife, otherwise, how can I..."

Cui Xuanji's heart beat violently.She was even afraid that Feng Zihuan would hear the voice.

"How about me—" Feng Zihuan leaned on the hidden pouch, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the outline of Cui Xuanji's cheek to chin with his index finger, "I met such a nice person as you."

Feng Zihuan breathed with the smell of alcohol, so fragrant, Cui Xuanji's time and space had stopped.

Feng Zihuan wanted to stand up and ask someone to fetch some more wine, but unexpectedly he couldn't stand upright, and his foot was tripped by the wine glass that fell on the ground, and he threw himself forward.Cui Xuanji stood up a little slower than her, and at this moment she barely hugged Feng Zihuan, her arms supported Feng Zihuan's, and her knees were bent.

"Xuanji—"

"His Majesty--"

Their faces are very close to each other, they breathe and smell each other, and they can see their own shadows in their eyes.

Then Feng Zihuan smiled lightly, while Cui Xuanji was still in a daze.

Many years later, Feng Zihuan regretted it, why didn't he take the opportunity to hug Cui Xuanji to the bed?

The author has something to say:

{100}According to Wikipedia: "Touhu is a game in which people take turns throwing arrow shafts into wine jugs. It was a game popular among the Han people in ancient China from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was a sideshow at the banquet of the upper class in the early days, and later Found in all social classes. The rules are simple, but the etiquette is complicated, and the contestants are treated equally. First, the host invites the guests to play Touhu. Arrows, the host stands on the left, the guest stands on the right, and start shooting at a distance of two and a half arrows from the pot. A respectable person can place the arrow on the ground and pick up one arrow after throwing it. A humble person needs to hold the arrow on his body. For each arrow thrown, 0 points are not invested, and the score is scored by the host (shooter) standing on the side of the pot. The first arrow is 10 points. The first arrow is called "youchu". The second arrow is 5 points The third arrow is 5 points. The fourth arrow is 20 points. The fourth arrow is called "the end". The first arrow is not in, but the second, third and fourth arrows are all in: add [-] point. This situation is called "scattered arrows". Arrows that have not all entered the pot are called "leaning on the pole" and no points are counted. Arrows whose tails enter the pot are called "falling in the middle" and no points are counted. After all four arrows have been thrown, the host will start to count the total points. The celebrant (sizheng) announces the fine wine. After the round: the waiter (drinker) pours the wine, and the winner will give the wine to the loser. The loser must accept the penalty and kneel down to receive the wine. .End: Two out of three rounds, the winner emerges. The celebrant announces the winner. The audience drinks celebration wine. Then, the host announces the end of the game.

{101} In history, the person who really managed to hit the target through the screen was Shi Chong's housewife in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is said that this woman is a hundred hits.

{102} There are two types of archery competitions: group shooting (divided into two teams) and solo shooting (such as Lu Buyuanmen shooting halberds).According to Wikipedia: There are five types of archery skills: Baiya (the arrow goes through the target and the arrow turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful), Yanzhu (the arrow passes through the target and the arrow turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful), Shenlian (Shoot one arrow in front, and the last three arrows go away in succession. The arrows belong to each other, as if they are linked together), Jingyi (four arrows are connected, all hit the target), Xiangchi (the minister and the emperor shoot, the minister and the emperor stand side by side, let the emperor step back).

{103}Tibetan hook, also known as Tibetan lottery, Tibetan lottery, Italian lottery, and playing card, is one of the traditional Chinese games and is often used as a drinking order.It is a game of hiding a hook or a ring (finger) and letting people guess whose hand it is hidden in.The number of people is as small as a few people, and as many as there is no upper limit, up to hundreds of people.The participants were evenly divided into two groups, one group hid the hook,? or other objects, and the other group guessed in whose hand the object was hidden.
