Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 114

Just turning around, his expression suddenly turned cold, his brows seemed to be covered with a layer of light frost, the gentle and sweet smile of Cheng Huan just now disappeared without a trace as if swept away by the wind.

"Your Majesty," the palace maid behind asked softly, "Just now you had three chances to win, why..."

"Ruishen," the woman turned to look at her, "Your chess skills have improved, and you can tell even a few chances."

"Your Majesty is my No. [-] chess player in the Northern Wei Dynasty. My servant served you, and I have learned a few moves." The palace maid smiled and said, "It's a pity, Madam, that you should keep a low profile. The title of No. [-] chess player will always be given to Your Majesty."

"What am I arguing with him?" The woman sneered deeply, "Being brave in front of the emperor is tantamount to courting death. I'm not that stupid."

She pondered, walked across the flower corridor, gently took a delicate flower with her slender hands, and slowly crushed the tender red color at her fingertips.

Raise your hands, and repeatedly shine them in the sunlight. Your ten fingers are slender, their roots are like jade, and your ten nails are as plump as shellfish, shining brightly, and then dyed light red by the broken flowers just now, making them more delicate and tender like petals... Delicate years , Delicate demeanor, such a beauty worth caring and cherishing... But, who will take care of it?

She sneered, each sound getting colder.

"He is absent-minded today, and his chess skills are extremely chaotic. I will test it out, how can he say it? But, do you think I don't know? Empress Xiliang is not dead, he is not feeling well."

The court lady bowed her head obediently, without saying a word.

Looking up at the hazy sky in the west of the country, the woman's bright face is full of strange yearning and unwilling pride.

"For many years, I have kept a low profile and kept a low profile, dealing with those vulgar fans in this dark and oppressive Northern Wei palace, talking about rouge and gouache all day long, dealing with those vying for favor and profit and seeking a son's promotion... really I have let down my wisdom in vain...Xiliang Ruiyi, Changge of the Qin family, you are so happy, you were born in troubled times, and you were born to take on the great cause of saving the world. But Xinsheng admires and voluntarily follows, the emperor you choose is your husband, he is the emperor, he can obviously enjoy the beauty of the world, but because of you he ignores the six palaces and loves only one person, and he will never change his life... I listen to you The legend grows up, and the desk is full of all kinds of unofficial histories that the literati rely on to write your life to make a living. I am familiar with you - as a mere woman, she was born a god queen, died as a legend, and now she is making a comeback. , how many miracles do you want to create?"

With a sneer, she suddenly said softly: "That's great... I have always hated myself for not being able to catch up with that era, and hated that you were dead when I entered the palace. Now you are still alive. It's great... Chaos is about to rise, wind and clouds are agitating, right now This is an opportunity for a hero to become a hero, Qin Changge, just wait, I will show you that you are not the only one worthy of being the phoenix banner that the world fears and admires on the Neichuan Continent, I must let you know, I, Wanyan Chunzhen, I am not born superior than you, but I will do better than you. I must let you understand that I am the most capable woman in the entire Neichuan Continent. Go to your Xiliang Yuxi, and call me, Your Majesty!"

The vast hall is deep and dimly lit. The chessboard on the Kowloon couch is still there, the black and white pieces have been put into the chess basket, and the man is still sitting upright, meditating in the lingering smoke.

After a while, he said, "How?"

There was obviously no one on the opposite side, but an old male voice suddenly sounded.

Answer: "This woman hides clumsiness."

"I'm not talking about that." The Lord of the Northern Wei Dynasty raised his eyebrows and looked directly at the other side of the screen. "She has been hiding for a long time. I really don't know? What she wants to play is up to her, and she can't get out of the waves after all." , I mean two other things."

"The other two things are actually one thing," the old man's voice fluctuated from distance to distance, uncertain, "Are you irritable? Are you afraid of her?"

Wei Tianqi was silent, and said for a long time: "Father died under her hands, and why didn't you prophesy that she belonged to my Northern Wei royal family..." He suddenly stopped talking, raised his head and let out a sigh of relief, "Why don't you... also Here it is, after all, I didn't think well about the matter of Tiansi."

"No matter how much you think about it, it's useless." The old man's voice was sneering. "The matter of King Jin and her happened almost at the same time. Do you really think it's a coincidence?"

"No?" Wei Tianqi was startled, "Isn't she still recovering from her injuries overseas? How could she be responsible for this matter?"

The old man remained silent for a long time, allowing the condensed atmosphere in the air to condense inch by inch. After a long time, he said lightly and sharply, "She's back."

"She has come back."

The deep gold thick velvet carpet is luxurious and rich, with even more enthusiastic red flowers blooming on it. The young man on the carpet has white jade skin and charming eyes like silk.

The black-haired man with disheveled black hair, after lazily finishing this sentence, seemed to be exhausted, leaning in the arms of the charming and graceful young man with red lips and white teeth, took a shallow sip of Yuli dew from the golden cup he so graciously held up. .

He raised his head, with a pair of clear and flying eyebrows, as black as the morning sky.

It seems that his face cannot be described by ordinary words to describe men, such as handsome, elegant, handsome, and tall. He seems to be flowing, flowing clouds, flowing wind, flowing eyes and clothes... At first glance, it seems that It is very ordinary, but at a second glance, it is absolutely incomparable. Static and dynamic have different sentiments. Compared with appearance, it is secondary, and its beauty is incomparable.

The violent long wind on the top of the mountain blew away his hair, a few strands floated into the wine glass, and a few strands brushed the young man's cheeks. Picking up the hair in the wine glass with his fingertips, he carefully wiped it clean with his sleeve.

The man smiled, put his hand on the side of the pavilion, stretched out his hand, made a gesture of fishing for floating clouds, and put on the boy's hair as a reward.

The child was so shy...

Here in Jiucheng Mountain, people are in the void.

Jiucheng Mountain is a majestic mountain with a depth of ten thousand ren, but on the top of the mountain, there is an exquisite and exquisite octagonal white jade pavilion, like a white jade hairpin born out of the sky, slanting on the top of the mountain.

The sea of ​​clouds is rolling in front of you, the pines are bursting under your feet, and surrounded by thousands of mountains, there is a pavilion with wings. Living in the pavilion, you can hear the roaring sound without saying a word, like the tide coming and going, and resting one after another. Living here, you will feel the dust When the heart is washed away, everything is free, the vastness of the world, the vastness of the world, but only a mustard ear.

Such a place with lofty artistic conception and broad mind, should be a place where hermits sing loudly, and sages drink together, or rest on a stone to wash the stream, or raise a cup to drink the moon.

But there are people who sing and dance with silk and bamboo, and the beautiful children are beautiful, full of sensuality, and I don’t want to thank you for their joy.

It's really... a bit discordant.

But there are even more incongruous ones.

Among those court babes who smile, dance lightly, sing lightly, or tune strings, among those beauties with rich carpets, gold cups and jade nobles, there is a man who sits upright, with a solemn expression, without even looking at him. Those beautiful child molesters who smiled and clung to their bodies, stared straight at the man with a loose expression, frowned and said: "Yuan, I know she's back, and I'm here to discuss business with you, but before we talk about business, you Can you drive these monsters away first?"

"Come, drink," the light-clothed man didn't seem to see his dissatisfaction, and lazily raised his hand, as if picking up a flower on a swaying branch, "This jade pear dew is a famous wine in southern Fujian, made from pear blossom clear dew, Nine times of steaming and nine times of drying, it is extremely precious, and it is best to drink it three days after uncovering the altar. I ordered thirty riders to set off from southern Fujian, and changed horses for three days and three nights without changing people. , fragrant aftertaste, the most fragrant in the world, if you don't drink it, you will regret it to death."

"I won't die if I don't drink, but I will die if I don't discuss this matter first!" The man couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Bai Yuan, honorable master of the state, please be serious!"

A chuckle.

The man in the light gold robe suddenly pushed away the child molester, took the jasper wine glass and stood up gently, and walked slowly to the front railing.

His black hair flew in the wind, and his beltless robe fluttered like a flag. Facing the sea of ​​clouds under his feet and the mountains beside him, he smiled in an indifferent attitude and drank the fine wine in one gulp.

Pointing to the infinitely broad blue sky and Cangshan Mountain at his feet, and the tumbling sea of ​​clouds, Bai Yuan said in a manly voice: "This is the east of Neichuan, which is rich in minerals and continuous mountains, and is known for its tough folk customs. The mountain is the top of the main peak of Jiucheng Mountain, the No. 1 mountain in Dongyan. It is a high cliff, and the territory of a country is all under my feet; You are not allowed to set foot here, and now you are sitting in my pavilion, enjoying my delicious food, watching my beauties, and tasting my famous wine, but you don’t know how to cherish it, Yi Qingcheng..." He looked back at him regretfully, and sighed endlessly, "You So stupid!"

"Don't call me by my name!" Yi Qingcheng growled in shame, "My name is Yicheng!"

"Oh... I'm sorry I forgot that you changed your name," Bai Yuan didn't look apologetic, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "But Qingcheng, you are still the same as when you were a child, unable to grasp the point, I mean, I can At this point today, what else can make me - I will die if I don't discuss it first?"

"But she's—"

"She is human," Bai Yuan cut off quickly, "She is also human, why should I be nervous?"

After staring at him for a long while, Yicheng leaned against the railing slumpedly, and said helplessly, "Well, I'm a fool, since I was a child, I never knew what you were thinking and what you would do, just like now, you You obviously hate child prostitution the most, but you want to act like you are in love to death. Let the whole world criticize Dongyan Guoshi for being as good as Long Yang... Well, I know, because you are assisting the female lead... In short, Since you don't care about it, it's useless for me to say anything, anyway, I have always listened to you, but I have been urged, and the only thing I can do is die."

"It's not that serious." Bai Yuan poured himself another cup, and said with a smile, "I won't let you die if anyone dies. Quan Dongyan, I'm just a friend who can tell the truth. If you die, I will die lonely. of."

"To be honest?" Yi Cheng sneered, "Then you still want to play child molestation tricks in front of me!"
