There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 729 Fire, Burglary and Girlfriends

As Chen Keyan finished speaking, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Su Xian stared at her slender back, glaring from behind.

Said he was greedy for money?

Only when the two first met, Su Xian ignored a beautiful woman like her many times because he was too poor and only had gold and silver in his eyes.

But that was just a short period of experience. Su Xian later regarded money as dung, but Chen Keyan remembered it in his heart and gave him the label of "greedy".

Well, Su Xian dares to take responsibility, this one can barely be justified.

However, Chen Keyan also called him "lecherous"?
This, this, this... this is absolutely slander!
He is tall and tall, with a face like a jade, a jade tree facing the wind, suave, handsome, gentle and elegant. He is a rare handsome man in the world. There was Pan An in ancient times, Xu Gong in the north of the city, and Su Xian in today's world!

In addition, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Not to mention other things, just the recent achievements of "challenging the Liao Kingdom in the north, fighting the plague in the south" and "digging out millions of stones of grain" are enough to prove his outstanding talents.

Chen Keyan actually slandered an outstanding young man and young talent like him as "lascivious". Wouldn't her conscience feel pain?

Su Xian cried out sadly in her heart and shouted loudly: "Chen Keyan, you bad woman, what you said... is so damn right, I'm just horny!"

However, Su Xian never took the initiative to do anything to her. She was the one teasing and seducing most of the time.

Under such circumstances, how did she come to the conclusion that Su Xian was "lustful"?
slander!

It’s definitely slander!

After hearing what Chen Keyan said, Emperor Shu's face darkened again. He was furious, thinking that Chen Keyan was conniving at him again.

Greed of money, is this a shortcoming?

In the eyes of Emperor Shu, it was not the case at all, because he was also greedy for money.

The Emperor of Shu controls the entire Shu Kingdom. Logically speaking, what does he want?But he was never satisfied. The more money, the better.

The ministers of Shu, as well as Concubine Zhang, often advised him to stop. They all believed that greed for money was a bad habit and a shortcoming, and advised him to change it.

Therefore, when Chen Keyan said that Su Xian was greedy for money and said this was a shortcoming, wasn't she just connoting him?
As for being "lustful"...is this a drawback?

Emperor Shu's heart was complicated and difficult to understand. Well, even if that was Su Xian's shortcoming, but... such shortcomings were beyond his reach. It was what he dreamed of.

He also wants to be lustful, but...

This is no longer as simple as "connotation" for him, but a mockery and a joke!

No man can tolerate this level of ridicule and teasing.

Emperor Shu's face instantly turned livid.

After Zhang Guifei heard Chen Keyan's words, her whole body fell into sluggishness, greedy for money?So... lustful?
She lost consciousness for a moment, feeling pregnant like a girl who had not left the palace, and her mind instantly filled with shameful scenes such as "Su Xian pursues her", "the two spend time together under the moon", "give birth to a child" and so on...

"..."

"If Hou Suxian of Fanyang County in Daliang comes to Shu, then don't even think about leaving!"

Emperor Shu's complexion was ashen, and he was full of anger and anger. He directly tore off his disguise, and as the emperor of Shu, he uttered harsh words in front of envoys and princes and ministers from all over the world.

Concubine Zhang was "imagining" in her mind. When these words came to her ears, she was so frightened that she immediately shattered all kinds of charming pictures and returned to reality.

It is true that she has been in the Shu palace for many years, but the relationship between her and the Emperor of Shu is only in the name of husband and wife, and there is no reality of husband and wife.

This situation caused her to forget the fact that she was married in many cases, and subconsciously thought that she was still a girl who had not left the court.

How can there be a girl who is not pregnant?

That's why, after listening to Chen Keyan's words, she subconsciously imagined those embarrassing scenes...

It's not really her fault.

This situation has nothing to do with personal morality and sentiment, but human nature that cannot be changed.

For example, a child of a few years old is treated harshly by his stepmother all day long, either beaten or scolded. Occasionally one day, the child sees other children being cared for by their mothers, and he will imagine that he also has a mother who is kind to him... But this imaginary mother is definitely not the stepmother in name!

Many things in the world cannot be forced. As the saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet. Don’t do porcelain work without diamonds. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Wu Dalang...

"Then Su Xian is so smart, which is rare in this world. I am very curious, how did his brain grow?"

Emperor Shu's voice sounded again.

Concubine Zhang was frightened just now, but now after hearing these words, based on her understanding of Emperor Shu, she suddenly realized that the situation was not good.

As expected, Emperor Shu's face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly in front of everyone:
"If I have the chance, I will definitely pry open that Su Xian's head and take a closer look to see how he is different from ordinary people!"

"..."

Concubine Zhang's face changed suddenly, she was shocked and scared. She had already figured out Emperor Shu's temper. Since Emperor Shu dared to say this to his face, he would definitely put it into practice!

And all this, such consequences, she thought about it, it seemed that it was all her fault.

She didn't care about the feelings of Emperor Shu just now, and counted Su Xian's achievements over and over... It must have made Emperor Shu feel jealous, so she threatened to knock Su Xian's head off.

This is to kill Su Xian!

Concubine Zhang felt extremely guilty for a moment, blaming herself for not taking care of her mouth and causing such a big trouble for Su Xian.

She only hoped that Su Xian would never set foot in the land of Shu and never be caught by the Shu Emperor's people...

After Chen Keyan heard what Emperor Shu said, her beautiful eyebrows frowned. Emperor Shu was going to take Su Xian's life!
She made a decision silently. If Su Xian's identity was exposed, she would have to save Su Xian's life even if she broke the friendship between Shu and Nan Chen...

As the person involved, Su Xian was speechless as he stared at the aloof Emperor Shu.

He naturally heard the killing intent in Emperor Shu's words.

Wasn't it just digging millions of stones of grain from the ground that interrupted Emperor Shu's plan to make a fortune?Emperor Shu was going to take his life?Blatant revenge?
Well, this is Emperor Shu's territory after all, and he has no control over what Emperor Shu wants to do.

In fact, from the moment Su Xian dug out those millions of stones of grain, he was destined to enmity with Emperor Shu.

If it were to happen again, Su Xian would dig without hesitation for no other reason than for the ordinary people who were starving and almost had to exchange their children for food!
Although he has always been careful to maintain that fragile sense of security, trying not to offend others, and trying not to cause trouble, there are some things he has to do...

In short, Su Xian hated Emperor Shu. No matter what the reason was, since he wanted to kill him and destroy his sense of security, he was his enemy!

Furthermore, Su Xian suddenly felt that Concubine Zhang was no longer beautiful.

As the "accomplice" of the enemy, Concubine Zhang must also be bad. If given the opportunity, he would not mind killing this bad woman with ruthless hands!
……

The tributes continue.

After all the envoys and princes and ministers had given their congratulatory gifts, the birthday banquet finally began. Delicious food was served on the table, the palace singer sang and danced, and the monarch and his ministers exchanged cups. The hall was filled with joy and peace.

The scene just now was as if it had never happened.

at the same time.

Another area of ​​the Shu Palace, where the palace books are stored, is the Chongwen Building.

Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, and Guan Ping have been sneaking into Chongwen Tower for a long time.

Although they knew the specific number of the bookshelf where the second half of "Mei Ting Miscellaneous Notes" was stored, the bookshelf was really too big, with several floors, and they searched quickly with the help of the weak light...

Liufang Hall.

The birthday party is still going on.

At this time, there was a break in singing and dancing. The envoys from various countries and the princes and ministers of Shu had already finished drinking. They stood up from their seats with red faces and toasted with wine glasses. The hall was as noisy as a market.

Chen Keyan got rid of the people who came to toast, walked to Concubine Zhang, smiled and invited: "Concubine, there is noisy here, how about we go outside the palace to get some fresh air?"

"This palace has exactly this intention."

Concubine Zhang stood up with a smile.

On the side, Emperor Shu also stood up. He had long noticed that Zhang Meiniang seemed to be not very interested, and was ready to follow her: "My dear concubine, I will accompany you for a walk."

Chen Keyan frowned slightly, smiled and dissuaded:
"Your Majesty should stay in the main hall. With so many guests, it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to leave. Besides...does Your Majesty also want to hear the whispers between our daughter's family?"

I really want to hear it... Emperor Shu nodded and said, "This makes sense. It's good to go out and get some fresh air. However, my dear wife, you should pay attention to your health and return early after getting some fresh air."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Concubine Zhang took Chen Keyan's hand and walked slowly outside the palace, followed by several palace maids.

After all, Emperor Shu was worried. He called to the eunuch beside him and ordered more people to keep a closer watch. The eunuch followed the order and left.

Outside the palace, the air was fresh and the night breeze was blowing. The skirts, hair tips, and decorations of the two women were blown away. They took a deep breath and felt really refreshed.

At this time, a group of palace maids brought a small table and placed it between the two women. They placed various cakes, candied fruits, dried fruits and wine on them one by one. One palace maid held a pot and prepared to pour wine.

Seeing this, Chen Keyan quickly waved her hand to stop her and ordered:
"Put it down. Your mother-in-law and I are here mainly for some fresh air. Don't drink too much. We'll be on our own later."

The palace maid glanced sideways at Concubine Zhang, remembering that Concubine Zhang had previously ordered that Chen Keyan was also half the master of the Hall of Ecstasy, and that they must obey her orders.

Although this is not the Hall of Ecstasy, but... Concubine Zhang did not reject Chen Keyan's words, so the palace maid put down the wine bottle and stood by silently.

Chen Keyan's eyes flashed and she continued to give instructions:
"You all stay away. Your wife and I are going to have a private conversation. You are not allowed to eavesdrop."

"Slaves wait for orders."

The maids quickly stepped aside, not daring to get too close. It was taboo to eavesdrop on the masters' conversation.

"meteor!"

"It's a shooting star!"

"Hurry up and make a wish..."

"..."

At this time, the maids screamed nearby. Chen Keyan and Zhang Guifei subconsciously looked up at the sky. Sure enough, there was a meteor streaking across the star-studded night sky!
Chen Keyan's mind suddenly moved, she quietly took out something from her sleeve with her left hand, pointed at the shooting star with her right hand, and shouted loudly: "Sister, make a wish quickly, hurry, the shooting star will disappear soon!"

"Okay, let's make a wish together..."

Concubine Zhang was very excited. On her birthday, a shooting star flashed across the sky. This was a good omen no matter how you looked at it!

She quickly closed her hands, raised them in front of her body, looked up at the sky, gently closed her eyes, and made a wish very seriously.

Chen Keyan did not make a wish, but looked around.

At the same time, she held the object she had just found in her left hand and quietly hovered over a wine glass.

She and Concubine Zhang were covering the left and right sides of the wine glass, and there was a wine bottle behind it, blocking all three sides.

Although there was no cover in front of the wine glass, the palace guards in front had their backs to them...

It's now!

Time is fleeting!
The thing Chen Keyan took out from her sleeve was a pill. She hovered it over the wine glass, pinched it gently with her fingers, and some white powder leaked out, and it fell accurately into the wine glass...

After a while, Concubine Zhang finished her wish, her eyes gradually opened, and Chen Keyan's curious voice came to her ears: "What wish did sister make?"

Concubine Zhang looked a little unnatural and said evasively: "Don't say it, it won't be effective if you say it."

"Then let's have this glass of wine and wish my sister's wish come true!" Chen Keyan held two glasses of wine in her hand and handed one over to her.

"Okay." Concubine Zhang Guifei didn't think much, took the glass of wine with a smile on her lips, touched it lightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Sister, we should go back." Chen Keyan put down her wine glass and smiled.

"But...we just came out not long ago." Concubine Zhang hesitated.

"My sister has made her wish and breathed her breath. If you don't go back, His Majesty will be worried."

"..."

Chen Keyan smiled, and then pulled her back to the main hall without any explanation.

Concubine Zhang felt that this was reasonable, so she returned to the main hall half-heartedly...

In the main hall, the atmosphere was still warm.

After Chen Keyan returned to the throne, envoys from various countries, as well as princes and ministers from the Kingdom of Shu, gathered around and offered toasts.

As an envoy to Nanchen, she naturally could not avoid it. After drinking a few drinks, her face was already slightly flushed... The envoys and princes and ministers were particularly excited to see this, and they walked around frequently with wine glasses in hand.

After dealing with the first round of toasts, Chen Keyan turned around and came to Su Xian's side. She was slightly tipsy and grabbed Su Xian's arm, and at the same time handed him a sweet smile that seemed to contain conspiracy in its innocence.

"If you can't drink it, don't drink it." Su Xian taught him a lesson.

"No." Chen Keyan tightened his hand and said with a smile: "I am the envoy of Nanchen, so I have to drink."

"I don't care about you if you drink too much." Su Xian frowned and retracted his arms, but did not get rid of Chen Keyan's pull.

"Next..." Chen Keyan burped. It seemed that she was getting more and more drunk. She held Su Xian's arm firmly with both hands and said:

"Next...you drink for me, and you hold back the wine for me!"

"Me?" Su Xian was speechless. He didn't even have the capacity to drink. If he stopped drinking, he would get drunk!
"Yes, Mr. Yu, the young master is now the 'Deputy Ambassador of Nanchen', and he is supposed to hold back the wine for me... Yu privately, do you want to watch the slave family being drunk?"

"But..." Su Xian really didn't want to, but facing Chen Keyan's pitiful and pleading smile, as a man, he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Still getting drunk by a group of... stinky men... Young Master... save me!"

"..."

Chen Keyan continues to be pitiful.

Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, but as a man, he couldn't hold it back after all.

Although Chen Keyan is not his woman yet, the two of them have kissed each other. He really can't help but watch Chen Keyan get drunk by a group of stinky men!

Even if he had to get her drunk, he should do it!

"Okay, I'll hold back the drink for you, but I won't do it again!" Su Xian agreed, thinking that if he got drunk at most, it wouldn't affect his plans tonight.

"Thank you sir, you are the best!"

Chen Keyan was overjoyed, complimented her, and took Su Xian's arm to the front.

However, what Su Xian didn't see was that when he turned his back to Chen Keyan, Chen Keyan's complexion instantly returned to normal, with a cunning light shining in her eyes. How could there be any trace of drunkenness?
Princess Nanchen of Wu Kingdom is not an ordinary person, and trying to get her drunk with just a little bit of wine is tantamount to wishful thinking.
