Chapter 179 Blue-scaled Black Carp
Chun Wangfu.

Having not seen Zixi for a few days, Teng Xuanchun's heart was up and down, and he was lying on the table, turning the teacup in his hand, feeling bored.

At this time, a chuckle came from behind the curtain:
"Why, our Highness also feels bored sometimes."

Without even raising his eyelids, Teng Xuanchun pouted: "Oh! I'm so annoying!"

A silver-haired old man came out slowly from behind the curtain. He smiled and said, "Oh? I don't know what made His Highness so upset?"

Teng Xuanchun turned his head to one side and did not answer.

The old man was silent for a moment, then patted Teng Xuanchun on the shoulder and said, "I have an interesting story, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?"

Teng Xuanchun sat up, squinted and asked, "Interesting thing? What is it?"

The old man said: "Last night, someone plucked your father's beard for no reason, heh, it's not like I just shaped his face just now."

"Ah?" Teng Xuanchun was surprised.

The old man poured himself a cup of tea, and frowned as soon as he took a sip: "What is this?"

Taking the teacup from the old man's hand, Teng Xuanchun showed a smile: "Of course it's a good thing, you can't enjoy it!"

"Your Highness, I remember you don't like sweets."

Teng Xuanchun stood up, waved his hands, and said:
"Lianshi, are you annoying? Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's nothing, I think you have changed a little recently, Your Highness, so I came here to remind you, don't forget the purpose of our coming here."

Teng Xuanchun's face darkened in an instant: "Of course I won't forget, you don't need to worry about it! You can just stay by Father's side and be his behind-the-scenes military adviser. I know the rest."

Lian Shi stared at Teng Xuanchun for a while, sighed softly, and said: "The cold winter is coming, and the air is easy to condense when it is cold. Your Highness, you should focus on the business. That girl is not the same as you, so don't make trouble." Measured."

The joints creaked, and a cold light flashed in Teng Xuanchun's eyes. After a while, he squeezed out two cold words from between his teeth:

"Get out!"

In the blink of an eye, Lian Shi had disappeared into the bedroom. Teng Xuanchun slowly let go of his fist, with a solemn and melancholy expression, and murmured: "Zixi..."

The sky was gloomy, and the west wind was sweeping the dust. Zixi lay in front of the window and looked at the few dead leaves on the branches, and couldn't help but miss the vibrant beauty when she first came here.

Looking at the pond, Zixi turned her head and asked the two who were drinking and playing chess:

"It's so cold outside, do you think the fish in the pond will freeze to death?"

After a while, Zhu Lan raised his head and said, "What do you want?"

"Hmm...would it be better to boil some hot water and pour it in?"

With the hand holding the chess pieces above the chessboard, Teng Xuanyi turned his head and asked, "Do you want fish soup?"

Grinning her teeth at Teng Xuanyi, Zixi looked out of the window again, and suddenly, a fish jumped up from the pond, drew a graceful arc from the air, and fell into the water again.

"Huh?" Zixi was overjoyed, and ran out of the house excitedly, heading straight to the pond.

Throwing the chess piece into the jar, Teng Xuanyi immediately got up, pulled the purple cloak that was put aside, and hurried after him.

Zhu Lan shook her head with a smile, picked up the wine jar beside her, and drank alone while observing the situation on the chessboard.

Running to the edge of the pond, Zixi looked around and saw layers of water ripples on the water surface lifted by the wind. She knelt down and fiddled with the water in the pond twice. At this moment, an ordinary black carp He poked his head out and spit out two bubbles.

Zixi raised her eyebrows and said in her heart: Huh?Isn't this pond full of koi?Where did this little guy come from?Never seen it before!
"Come here." Zixi stretched out her hand into the water, and shook it lightly twice. The black carp seemed to understand, and immediately swam to her palm, and turned around a few times coquettishly. When it rolled over, The body of the fish accidentally came out of the water, a little blue light flashed in the shiny black scales of the fish, Zixi was startled, and said again: "Don't move."

Hearing Zixi's words, Yu'er immediately stopped having fun, and obediently let Zixi support herself.

A piece of blue lin, this fish...why did I seem to have seen it somewhere?
Zixi's eyes suddenly brightened: In the lake at the border!Every time I went to catch fish, I would see one with a blue lin. At that time, I didn’t think much of it. It’s normal for koi to be colorful, but no one stipulated that ordinary carp should be black...

Pfft!
The fish suddenly jerked up and flipped back into the water without a trace.

Zixi felt her body sink, and looking back, it was Teng Xuanyi who put on the cloak for herself.

"It's cold and the fish are sinking to the bottom of the water. You don't really want to fill this pond with hot water, do you?"

Holding Teng Xuanyi's arm, Zixi stood up and asked, "What about winter? The water is frozen, and they have to stay underneath for a long time, how boring."

Teng Xuanyi smiled and put his arms around Zixi's shoulders, and said, "I'm worried about the fish being frozen to death. You are the first person I've ever met. Okay! Come in!"

Being held in Teng Xuanyi's arms and walking back, Zixi turned her head to look at the pond from time to time: It should be a coincidence... Well, it might just be the same species...

The figures of the two became farther and farther away, and circles of water rippled again on the undulating water surface. After spinning for a while, a black shadow reluctantly sank to the bottom of the water.

Walking to the door, Teng Xuanyi lowered his arms. After Zixi entered, he looked up at the gray sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain."

Taking off the cloak and throwing it aside casually, Zixi turned her head and said with a smile: "What's so strange about the rain? I'm looking forward to when it will snow!"

Teng Xuanyi frowned, and quickly returned to her normal expression: "You can still be more honest in rainy days, but if it snows heavily, I'm afraid you won't stay in the house for a moment."

Zhu Lan nodded, deeply agreeing.

Picking up the cloak that had just been thrown aside and putting it on her body again, Zixi pointed outside, and said with a smile: "The weather is so bad, it would be a waste not to go out for a stroll, Fourth Highness, let's call Teng Xuanyun and Qin Rao How about going to see Concubine Jin? A few days ago, she was injured by Yue Lu, and although she was protected by Zhulan's elixir, I guess she would be injured to some extent, and besides... I miss the queen a little bit."

Teng Xuanyi still remained calm and unmoved after hearing the first few sentences, but the last sentence "I miss the queen" suddenly made him feel warm: "This..."

Putting down the wine jar in his hand, Zhu Lan felt a little lost. Zixi didn't mention her just now, and it's really inconvenient for an outsider to follow such a family gathering...

Feeling her arm tightening, Zhu Lan came back to her senses, only to see Zixi firmly grasping her arm, and said shamelessly, "Zhu Lan, just say something! I'm going to be suffocated to death!"

"I..." Zhu Lan hesitated to speak, what could he say?As long as she is not in my sight, I will not have a moment of peace in my heart. Although Teng Xuanyi and Qin Rao are there, I don't know how long it will take to go. Otherwise, I will become a little bird and follow them?

"What are you? You are Concubine Jin's savior. I guess she can't wait to thank you! Besides, the palace is surrounded by spies, and Concubine Jin and the queen must not know about us. I don't know how anxious I am about the situation on the side!"

Zhu Lan was taken aback: "You mean... I can go too?"

After patting Zhulan's arm, Zixi smiled and said, "What are you talking about! Of course we will go together! You and Teng Xuanyi eat and sleep together every day, inseparable, tsk tsk tsk, go together! Of course we go together!"

"...cough cough..."

Zhulan's thoughts couldn't be hidden from Zixi, so she had to make a joke to avoid embarrassment, so that she could take Zhulan with her as a matter of course, but obviously, the joke was a little too big, and the faces of the two men turned blue and white at times. , the expression is so exciting.

Wrapping the cloak around her body, Zixi opened the door as if nothing had happened, and said, "Hey! Are you two going? I'm going to find Teng Xuanyun and Qin Rao! Or you two can stay here! Drink and play chess Let’s chat, anyway, I’m not in the house and it’s very quiet, so you can do whatever you want!”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Lan threw away the wine jar and walked to the door immediately. Gritting his teeth, Teng Xuanyi picked up two cloaks, handed one to Zhu Lan, and put the other on himself. A word was squeezed out: "Go!"

Zixi grinned happily, strode forward with her head held high, and said in her heart: Humph!Little boy, fight with me!There is no door that this girl can't get out of!
The two men walked behind her silently as if they had made a mistake. After looking at each other helplessly, they found that the figure in front was walking faster and faster. What is it that misses Concubine Jin and misses the Queen!She, she just wants to go out and play in this ghostly weather...
