Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 57
The winter moon has passed, and there is not a single demon found in the huge Pingyang city.

As the New Year is approaching, the turmoil gradually calms down, the common people start preparing for the New Year, and the dignitaries start hosting banquets. Pingyang, which was turbulent in the past few days, seems to have regained its calm overnight.

People are always like this, a little bit of peace, then forget the days of fear.

There are even self-consolation, no, the most popular rumor in the past two days is that Orion is a liar!Said that he must have had a dream, talked in his sleep, saw in the dream, and told the truth, there was no demon at all, let alone a demon house, and some said that he did not catch the fox, so he made up a reason to attract so Many people went to make a mess in the mountains, so that a nest of foxes could not spend the winter in peace.

When Duan Yuzhi heard these rumors for the first time, he almost thought they were fabricated by himself, so as to cover up his futile efforts to catch monsters as a dignified prince.But he was also happy with the rumors, since there were no demons, there would be no case, and without a case, he would be much more at ease. He had already confessed to the Holy One, and the Holy One did not punish him, so he relaxed his mind and prepared to find a place to celebrate the New Year.

The fifth prince's mansion is nothing special, if you want to say it is special, then it should be very simple, as a prince, it is even smaller and more plain than Sheng Yang's mansion, it can be seen that he and Concubine Wen have the same low profile.He is very elegant, the garden is full of plum blossoms, and he has specially dug a thin and clear spring for the joy of flowing water. The scenery of the plum garden is simple, but it is more beautiful than some palaces and other courtyards.

It's strange to say that the Qushui Liucup banquet always takes place after March, and the fifth prince is also emotional, and it's still snowing today, so it's a special feeling to be in the fine snow.

He loves writing and ink, and makes many friends, and all the talents in Pingyang gather here.A talented man matches a beautiful woman, so he invited officials to the banquet to bring their family members, and even invited Princess Shengyang to host the banquet.No one expected that the fifth prince and Princess Shengyang, who had always been at odds with each other, could really break the ice. At this moment, Princess Shengyang was sitting at the source of the flowing water, her body was wrapped in a red brocade and white rabbit fur cloak, her head was shaking, Embellished with a few red plums, with black eyebrows and red lips, the delicate and pretty ones are undoubtedly the top red plums in the snow in this garden.

Sheng Yang's vermilion lips parted lightly, and the words ordered, the wine glass flowed down the flowing water, and the gifted scholars scrambled to answer His Highness's poems.

The one who took the glass of wine was the son of Feng Duan, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. He introduced himself as Feng, but Sheng Yang couldn't remember. smiled.

In recent years, Honglu Temple has been built better and better, which is inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Rites. The former Minister of Rites, Feng Duan, who is smiling now, has successfully weathered the turmoil in the court because he was not involved in the prince's affairs. Shang Shuling.

But she didn't listen to a single line of poetry that the young man recited.

She raised her head slightly, wanting to drink this glass of wine, but she looked under a pine tree slightly far away. Duan Yuzhi was wearing a blue plush cape, leaning against the pine tree, looking at her unscrupulously.Although he was standing under the tree, there was still snow on his shoulders, and no one helped him shake it.

She looked gloatingly at the unreal Mrs. Duan standing not far behind him, and she also looked at herself with Duan Yuzhi's gaze, even though it was so far away, she could feel the hatred of the other party's gnashing of teeth.

She put down the next wine glass, turned the jade plate, and went down the water, with her head slightly lowered, and she smiled with an unknown meaning.

The fifth prince also saw Duan Yuzhi in the distance, and he specially sent someone to invite him just now, but he excused that he was not educated since he was a child, so he didn't dare to compete with these talents.

Indeed, this is a literary banquet. He has never invited Mrs. Duan, who is not arty, to such a banquet. He did not expect him to come here uninvited. He looked at his sister again, and it seemed that the rumors were true.

Talented scholars are very sorry that Princess Shengyang did not attend the luncheon.

The powerful Grand Tutor Duan also did not come, and it is said that he has gone back to deal with official business.

In the carriage of Duanfu's return journey, there was only Mrs. Qiao with a gloomy and terrifying face.

Just before the Qushui Liucup was over, Princess Shengyang left the banquet on the grounds of changing clothes. Seeing her get up and leave, Mrs. Qiao looked at Duan Yuzhi, and as expected, saw him go around behind the tree and prepare to follow.

She called out sharply, "Teacher! Where is the tutor going?"

Duan Yuzhi turned his head and gave her a hard look, which was even worse than the look in his eyes when he came back from Luzhou that day.

She took a step back in fear, and watched Duan Yuzhi leave quickly following Sheng Yang's pace.

"Meow!"

When she looked up, she found a black cat hidden in the tree where she was standing, and she was even more shocked.

"Beast!"

When she realized it, the cat had disappeared.

Sheng Yang entered the side hall specially reserved for her by the fifth prince to rest. Before entering the door, she deliberately stopped for a moment, and saw a cyan figure following the corner of the wall, and concealed the door.

Sure enough, just as she was seated, there was a "squeak" from the door, and Duan Yuzhi entered the room and closed the door.

"Teacher Duan, what are you doing with me?"

Sheng Yang raised his head to look at him, his eyes melted like snow, and his head moved up and down with her head shaking slightly.

Duan Yuzhi twitched his lips slightly, sat opposite her, and sipped hot tea, "The tea is ready, didn't His Highness ask me to come?"

"Oh? Is that so? Are you sure it's not the Tai Tuo who is self-indulgent?"

Sheng Yang raised his eyebrows mischievously.

"I also thought Mrs. Taifu was by my side, so I didn't dare to go to the appointment. It seems that Mrs. Duan's methods are not clever enough."

"You knew already?"

Although it was a question, it was calm, obviously he already knew the answer.

"Rongyue just sighs... Duan Taifu was so smart all his life, but he didn't expect Mrs. Madam to be a little... simple? He actually listened to the instigation of a mere concubine Sheng, trying to provoke the friendship between you and me with a letter."

She stood up and walked to Duan Yuzhi, lightly picked his sharp chin, put it down reluctantly, turned and said.

"By the way, Taifu Duan has met Qiao's eldest brother? It is said that he was recommended by the Taifu to hold an important official position in the court?"

Duan Yuzhi's eyes dimmed. He also heard about the fact that the second prince set up a match between her and Brother Qiao at the banquet that day.If he had known about this problem, he would never have recommended it for him.

"It's just that I was negligent. At that time, the Holy Majesty entrusted the princess's marriage to the minister. I was busy with official duties for a year, and even forgot this most important thing. It seems that His Highness is a little anxious."

He knows best how to anger Sheng Yang with a single sentence.

Sheng Yang patted the table and snorted coldly, "Duan Yuzhi, don't you think you're an asshole when you say that?"

Duan Yuzhi smiled and grabbed her wrist, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"I'm a real bastard when I come to see Your Highness. I dare not say anything about other things, after all, Your Highness is even more foolish than my Highness."
