phoenix jiuxiao

Chapter 132

A flute sound slowly drifted into the air.

When Su Hailing came to Hanxiang Hall, he saw Mei Junhan put down the bamboo flute, and sat under the plum tree with his eyes closed to take a nap.

"Are you done?" Mei Junhan said indifferently.

Even if he didn't open his eyes, he could recognize her footsteps and her breath.

"Sleeping here, you won't be afraid of catching a cold." Su Hailing frowned, took off his cloak and covered him, and sat beside him.

"Hailing, send me a few guards to watch the door." Mei Junhan said, moving over and resting his head on her shoulder.

"What, someone is quarreling with you?" Su Hailing hugged him casually, a murderous look flashed across his lowered eyes.

"What's your tone?" Mei Junhan said amusedly, "Could it be possible that there are still people who can bully me?"

Su Hailing couldn't help being dumb, and said after a while: "I'll ask Ouyang Xun to give you a few tokens later, and you can bring a few people from Xuanming Palace into the palace. I can't guarantee the loyalty of all the guards in the palace, why don't you let them go?" own people."

"En." Mei Junhan responded, adjusted her posture again, nestled into her arms and continued to sleep.

Su Hailing gathered the cloak for him, took out the memorial he brought and looked at it.

It was also pregnant, but Mei Junhan was not as serious as Mu Qingchen's reaction, except for a little laziness and drowsiness, it can be said that she had no symptoms of nausea at all.

The spring sun is warm, basking on the body, and spring sleepiness gradually appears.

Su Hailing yawned, rubbed his sore eyes, and put down the memorial.

Mei Junhan's breathing was so shallow that it was almost inaudible.She knew that the fact that he was able to sleep so undefended by her side now was a manifestation of extreme trust.

Zixin walked in lightly, and seeing this scene, she couldn't help hesitating for a moment, wondering if she could disturb her.

"What's wrong?" Su Hailing looked up.

"Your Majesty, the draft has started. Queen Feng asked when you will be there." Zixin replied in a low voice.

"I'll go in a while." Su Hailing sighed.

According to Dayong's rules, the queen's harem can have one queen, one emperor, four nobles, eight servants, and the rest are servants without royal titles.Compared with the 72 concubines of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard in ancient China, they are still very few.

Although the draft is decided by the Empress Feng, the titles given to the men selected in the end still have to be decided by the Queen.

"I have more sympathy for Mu Qingchen." Mei Junhan said suddenly.

Su Hailing hugged him, speechless.

Although I know it's just a cutscene, but choosing a man for my wife, and then facing a bunch of men who want to rob him of his wife, I'm afraid no one will be happy.

Mei Junhan stood up, returned the cloak to her, and said indifferently: "I won't go, go back and sleep for a while."

Su Hailing smiled wryly, and didn't want to force him, so he handed the cloak to Zixin and sent him back to his room before turning to Bixiao Palace.

At the same time, hundreds of men of various colors gathered in the main hall of Bixiao Palace, handsome, charming, lovely... people are dazzled to see.

"Rufeng, I'm starting to get a little nervous, what should I do?" Li Muyu pulled Liu Rufeng's sleeve and asked.

"Take it easy, or what if you can't speak for a while?" Liu Rufeng comforted.

Qin Yuxuan stood aside, looking at the vacant Phoenix Queen's throne, not knowing what it was like.

Although almost everyone, including the candidate for Chuxiu Palace, is rumored that a man who was born in the Jianghu and has no noble blood at all can become the Empress of Yongfeng, it is all because he has an exquisite golden tripod, and if he gets it, he can win the world Relationship.But Qin Yuxuan knew it wasn't... He knew how much Su Hailing loved his husband when he was in the Cangyu Villa in the other courtyard of the Qin Mansion.

The gossip that drifted past his ears made him feel a little funny.

"Yuxuan, you don't seem very happy." Li Muyu said hesitantly.

"Perhaps..." Qin Yuxuan's eyes flashed, and he murmured, "Not being selected may not be a kind of happiness."

"What did you say?" Li Muyu didn't hear clearly and asked again.

"It's nothing." Qin Yuxuan thought for a moment, and smiled slightly.

Liu Rufeng gave him a deep look, but didn't speak.

At this moment, the surrounding voices gradually quieted down.

"Here we come!" Li Muyu raised his head excitedly.

Mu Qingchen, dressed in palace attire, came out with the support of Mu Xin and Ouyang Xun. Several months of pregnancy had already made his lower abdomen feel bulging. Standing on the high steps, he glanced around. Dao's gaze immediately made everyone who saw him lower their heads in panic.

For a moment, there was no sound in Bixiao Palace. Although there were hundreds of people present, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Li Muyu couldn't help beating her heart secretly, just now she looked at that Phoenix Queen, and she felt a substantive coldness, who the hell is that?
Mu Qingchen sat down on the chair slowly, with a trace of boredom showing between his brows.

How many of these men really like Su Hailing?The favor of the emperor, the prominent status, the honor and hidden power that can be brought to the family, these are the things they fancy.

"Queen Feng." Ouyang Xun handed over a pamphlet, which recorded the information of the men to be drafted.

"No need." Mu Qingchen waved his hand lightly, leaned lazily on the back of the gorgeous chair, did not raise his voice particularly, but the voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, "Let's just talk a few words one by one. Sentence."

"Yes." Ouyang Xun agreed, and ordered the servant next to him to arrange the men in order according to their status.

"Young master." Mu Xin offered a cup of ginseng tea and said softly, "Miss Su ordered this."

Mu Qingchen frowned, took the teacup, and reluctantly took a sip.Mu Xin couldn't change his words, but anyway, he and Su Hailing didn't mind, so he let him go.

Soon, the first man came up the steps.

Mu Qingchen put down the teacup and looked at his figure quietly.

Even in such an occasion, Qin Yuxuan's perfection is still impeccable.

He didn't deliberately dress himself up, a simple light red silk dress, and a delicate red coral hairpin pinned to his long hair that was casually rolled up, was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Qin Yuxuan was also looking at Mu Qingchen, this was the first time he looked at him head-on.

Indeed, this man can only be regarded as handsome at best, far inferior to his own peerless appearance, but... Even if he is wearing a gorgeous and luxurious Phoenix Empress gown and jewels and jade ornaments, he can't erase his noble and pure temperament like a snow lotus. The beauty of the world will always be eclipsed before his eyes.

"You still have a chance to choose." Mu Qingchen said quietly.

Qin Yuxuan was taken aback, and then felt a burning sensation on his face, as if all his thoughts could not be hidden under those clear eyes.

He... saw it...

There was no expression in Mu Qingchen's eyes, but now he understands the complicated expressions on Qin Yuxuan's face.However... just because of his purity, I didn't want to hurt him.

"I...would rather fly moths to the flame than...not regret it." After a while, Qin Yuxuan smiled faintly.

That smile, bitter and sad, was particularly touching.

"...Up to you." Mu Qingchen took a deep look at him and spit out two words.

"Thank you." Qin Yuxuan turned and left without saying anything else.

Mu Qingchen sighed helplessly, but he knew in his heart that Su Hailing... was destined to lose his affection.

Without allowing him to think about it, the second person has already walked up.

For that peacock-like man, he didn't even have the mood to perfunctory, he just wandered off thinking about other things.

Ouyang Xun shrugged and could only say a few words for him.

The rest of the time was boring, and only when Situ Ye and Liu Rufeng came up did Mu Qingchen become interested.After all, one was just a formality, and the other was decided by the first emperor and had to be chosen.

Situ Ye was also very wronged, why should he be with those peacock men for election?Mei Junhan doesn't need to be a vase.

Seeing that the number of people gradually decreased, it was almost noon, Mu Xin just wanted to remind Mu Qingchen to eat, but seeing another man walking up, he had no choice but to swallow his words back.

Forget it, the last one!Afterwards, you must let the son go to eat first, otherwise it will be very scary for Miss Su to get angry!

"Leng Yuxing of Yunzhou sees Queen Feng." The handsome young man seemed a little cautious, his voice was soft, and there was a hint of trill.

Mu Qingchen suddenly felt upset for a while, as if he had some bad premonition, but he couldn't find the specific reason.

"Yu Xing is good at embroidery. Today, I bring an embroidery picture for Empress Feng to appreciate." Leng Yuxing said, nervously opening the scroll in his hand.

Mu Qingchen was very helpless.embroidery?It's almost as good as letting him appreciate sword dancing...

At this moment, a sword light suddenly lit up in the hall.

"嗤——" With the sound of silk cracking, pieces of torn cloth flew in the air like countless butterflies.

Mu Qingchen didn't move, the sword light was shining from behind him, it was Wanmei Piaoxue's sword move, he could recognize it even without looking.

"Ah!" Leng Yuxing exclaimed, and fell backwards, but a strange cold light flashed in his eyes, and his fingertips moved slightly.

"Bah!" The young man rolled down the steps, his hair was loose, and he had a frightened expression of pear blossoms and rain, which was really pitiful.

"Jun Han?" Mu Qingchen turned around and asked.

Mei Jun smiled coldly, turned over the unsheathed sword in her hand, and there were countless gold needles as thin as cow hairs attached to the spine of the sword.

"Mr. Mei, are you alright?" Mu Xin asked with concern.

Ever since Mei Junhan protected Mu Qingchen under Leng Yufeng's self-destruct on the night of the palace change, Mu Xin was very grateful to him.

Mei Junhan shook his head, his wrist shook, and the golden needle that he had sucked on the sword with his internal force fell off.

"How did you come here by such a coincidence?" Mu Qingchen asked curiously.

His internal strength has recovered by [-] to [-]%, and Mu Xin and Ouyang Xun are not mediocre. It is said that Leng Yuxing's sneak attack is unlikely to be successful, but how could Mei Junhan appear at this time?Logically, with his temperament, he would never come to the draft.

Leng Yuxing half sat on the ground, the panic on his face was not faked.

Who is this man?What a terrifying martial art, to use internal force to absorb hundreds of poisonous soul-removing needles on the sword in an instant!Even my sister can't do it...

"I just received the news." Mei Junhan put the sword back into its sheath indifferently, and stepped forward, looking down at the young man under the steps with sharp eyes.

"You... who are you?" Leng Yuxing trembled.

Mei Junhan didn't answer him, and raised her right hand slightly.

"Jun Han, wait." Mu Qingchen frowned, stood up, and pressed his hand.

"Mu Qingchen, don't you think you're soft-hearted towards the assassin?" Mei Junhan raised his eyebrows.

"You know that there is no master behind it?" Mu Qingchen said softly.

"He wasn't a killer in the first place." Mei Junhan curled her lips in disdain and said contemptuously.

"Leng Yufeng's younger brother?" Mu Qingchen asked after a moment of silence.

"I'm not interested in the drama of revenge." Mei Junhan said, walking down the steps slowly, and said coldly, "I killed Leng Yufeng, and you have found the wrong person for revenge."

Seeing the hatred gleaming in the young man's clear eyes, Mei Junhan only sent out a ray of fingering wind, and silently touched his dead point.

Mu Qingchen shook his head, and whispered a few words to Ouyang Xun.

Although he didn't know why, he could tell that Mei Junhan's mood was very unstable now.

After such a fuss, most of the young people waiting for election in the hall were pale and withered.They are all pampered young masters who have never even seen killing a chicken. Now that they have witnessed the assassination and murder with their own eyes, how can they not be frightened?
Seeing Mei Junhan approaching, everyone avoided and made way for him.

Mei Junhan walked out of the hall without looking back.

"Let's go here first today." Mu Qingchen watched the black clothes disappear around the corner, left a word, and supported Mu Xin's hand and turned into the back of the hall, leaving only Ouyang Xun to clean up the mess.

After a while, whispers sounded in the hall.

Li Muyu came back to his senses and said cautiously: "Rufeng, isn't that person we saw in Hanxiang Palace? Who is he?"

"I don't know too well, but..." Liu Rufeng hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Don't provoke him." Qin Yuxuan, who heard their conversation, interjected quietly.

"Why?" Li Muyu whispered dissatisfied, "Isn't he just out of favor..."

"I don't know anything else." Qin Yuxuan interrupted him, "But grandma said that that man, Mei Junhan, is the number one expert in the world today."

"Ah?" Not only Li Muyu opened his mouth so wide that an egg could be stuffed in it, but even Liu Rufeng was very surprised.

"Don't think that Empress Feng is very simple." Qin Yuxuan sighed softly, "He used to be the only one who could compete with Mei Junhan."

"Really?" Li Muyu muttered.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it." Qin Yuxuan said.

"Yuxuan...you've learned badly too!" Li Muyu smiled, and he, who was always optimistic, quickly put this matter aside.

It doesn't matter who is the number one master or the second master, in this harem that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, no matter how good martial arts are, they are of limited use. At worst, don't provoke him in the future...
