The sky is clear and bright, slightly disappearing into the darkening horizon. The low windows of mahogany and the half-rolled bamboo curtains send in a cool breeze through the green gauze. The scent of osmanthus in front of the corridor is vaguely entangled, and a osmanthus tree half-covers the courtyard with a pavilion like a cover, and the faint fragrance floats, just intoxicating.
Qing Chen turned his head and looked out the window, finally attracted by the vague fragrance, pushed the door and walked out.
The crescent moon is like traces, boundless and clear, and the surroundings are as quiet as a dream, as if you can hear the sweet-scented osmanthus blooming quietly in the depths of the night, and the breeze passing through the treetops, lingering.
Osmanthus osmanthus falls in the middle of the moon, so why should it be light blue and light red? In the simple elegance, there is a charm that Mei Lan can't match, incomparably peaceful and comfortable.
Across the moonlight, the lights on Xianyu Lake seemed to be floating far away. Prince Zhan’s Mansion was very lively today, and she avoided it deliberately. There was another world deep in the sky, and she looked up at it every night. It seemed that there really belonged to her.
Standing under the tree and starting to be dazed, something suddenly passed by her eyes, she was taken aback, before turning around, she heard bursts of hearty laughter, Ye Tianli lazily supported the tree with her hands, and threw an osmanthus flower to her , asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about in a daze? Your mind wanders too far, and if you look at it again, you will fly to the moon and become a fairy."
Qing Chen asked, "Why did you come here when you weren't in Ningcui Pavilion?"
Ye Tianli raised his eyebrows, with a cynical look: "What's the point of Ningcui Pavilion? Father is here today, and you have to weigh everything you say, and you will be bored to death. Let's go, I will take you to find a good wine Drink, the best wine here is the lotus leaf wine brewed by the mansion, which is no worse than Tiandu Taoyao."
Mentioning the lotus leaf wine, Qing Chen immediately felt feverish on his face, but fortunately it was dark and Ye Tianli couldn't see clearly, so she shook her head resolutely: "I don't drink."
Ye Tianli didn't care, dragged her away and said, "Try what you're afraid of?"
Qing Chen yelled softly: "It's fine to accompany you to find wine and watch you drink, but I won't drink!"
"The stolen wine is very fragrant. If you don't believe me, you can try it in a while." Ye Tianli laughed like a thief, he didn't look like a prince. Walking in a quiet place, I didn't meet anyone along the way.
There were many shadows of flowers, the two of them turned to the corner of a flower wall, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from the opposite side, the sound was chaotic and urgent. Ye Tianli let out a "Huh" and stretched out his hand to pull Qing Chen away, but a few people turned out in a hurry, and one of them left in a hurry, so he bumped into Qing Chen unexpectedly.
Qing Chen didn't expect someone to be so reckless, he staggered a few steps back and almost fell, but Ye Tianli helped him up in time, and before he could see the person coming, the other party yelled angrily: "Bastard slave! Are you blind?"
Qing Chen didn't make a sound when he heard the rude words, but his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at the person lightly. The man didn't see Ye Tianli standing in the shadow of the lamp for a moment, he only regarded Qing Chen as a maid in Prince Zhan's mansion, and when he saw her, he didn't salute and didn't speak, his heart got angry, and he raised his hand to wave her face.
"Third Brother!" The two people next to him shouted at the same time, Ye Tianli stepped in front of Qing Chen, and it was Ye Tianzhan who stopped the man. The one who bumped into Qing Chen was the third prince Ye Tianji, who was born in the same blood as the prince and was now named King Ji.
Ye Tianzhan was by King Ji's side, his expression was warm and moist as usual, but he seemed a little anxious when he looked closely, he turned his head and asked Qing Chen, "Are you okay?"
Hearing that he was called third brother, Qing Chen knew that he was King Ji, and it was not a good day to be a disappointment, so he shook his head slightly.
King Ji was taken aback at that moment, and punished a maid, not wanting that the two imperial brothers would stop him. Looking at Qing Chen again, she saw that she had a pale expression and couldn't see clearly under the night light. She had an ordinary appearance in white clothes and plain skirts, but there was an unyielding noble demeanor in her eyebrows and eyes. Fang was about to open his mouth to ask, when a group of noisy people rushed over, first someone was holding an unconscious child, and several nuns wiped away their tears in anxiety. This child was Yuan Ting, the only son of King Ji, who just sneaked out of the banquet to play by himself, but fainted for some reason. King Ji and the others hurried over from the front after receiving the letter.
Seeing his son's appearance, King Ji didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly shouted to the people around him: "Where is the imperial doctor, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Ye Tianzhan persuaded: "Third Brother, don't be impatient, he has already gone to teach the imperial physician."
Seeing that Yuan Ting's breathing was weak, Ye Tianli said to Qing Chen softly, "Our wine is ruined. The third brother must have been reckless because he was anxious, so don't take it to heart."
Qing Chen smiled at him and said forget it, suddenly saw Yuan Ting holding a handful of flowers and grass-like things tightly in his small hands, and after carefully distinguishing them, he was a little surprised: "Grass black!"
"What?" Ye Tianli asked.
"It's a deadly poisonous weed." Qing Chen said, seeing Yuan Ting's shortness of breath and stiff body, he gently pulled Ye Tianzhan: "Let me see."
Ye Tianzhan remembered that she knew medical skills, so he nodded and moved away. Qing Chen stepped forward to look at the blade of grass in Yuan Ting's hand, then stretched out his hand to look at his eyelids, and said while feeling his pulse, "It's the poison of Aconitum grass, hurry up, go find it." Some licorice or honey, before it's too late!"
Before Ye Tianzhan could give another order, the servants in the mansion ran away to get it. Qing Chen stretched out his hand and hugged Yuan Ting back, pressed the Shangjiache, Xiaguan, and Daying acupoints in turn, slowly loosened his clenched teeth, and then pressed his fingers on the base of his tongue to induce him to vomit, Yuan Ting " "Wow" coughed, and immediately spit out most of what he ate.
Seeing that Yuan Ting was very uncomfortable, King Ji said angrily, "What are you doing!"
Ye Tianzhan stopped him: "Third brother, you might as well trust her."
At this time, the servant had already brought honey and licorice, Qing Chen gently pinched Yuan Ting's cheeks and tried to feed him as much as possible, but after a while, Yuan Ting's body was slightly warmer, and his breathing seemed to be easier.
Qing Chen took his pulse again, raised his head and said to Ye Tianzhan, "We need to take medicine to clear away the residual poison, first send him to lie down in the room, and give him some water."
The imperial physician in the palace rushed over, Qing Chen stepped aside, and after hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis, he said: "It is indeed the poison of Aconitum aconiti, luckily the rescue was timely to save his life."
Seeing that the imperial physician was by his side, Qing Chen quietly got up and left. Ye Tianli turned around and saw that he was going to call her, but saw that Ye Tianzhan had turned to follow, so he smiled and gave up.
The night wind brought the smell of damp lake water, soothing the hectic atmosphere a bit. Ye Tianzhan walked behind Qing Chen, Qing Chen turned his head and saw him looking at him with a smile, his eyes were warm and soft under the night, and he also smiled at him.
Ye Tianzhan walked slowly along the blue stone path to the depths of the flower shadow: "Thank you today, if there is any accident in Yuan Ting, I really can't explain it to the third brother."
Qing Chen watched the falling flowers drifting away in the dark, and said with a smile, "You don't need to thank me, I sent Shuang Zhai to read this detoxification method in Yanbo. If you want to thank you, thank you for collecting so many good books."
Ye Tianzhan said: "In this way, all those medical books will be given to you, and I will keep them and waste them in vain."
Qing Chen said: "Today's birthday party gave me a big gift, how can there be such a reason?"
Ye Tianzhan chuckled, but saw Qin Yue trot over to find him, leaned over and said: "Your Highness, there is a message from the front that the emperor wants to see Miss Qingchen."
Qing Chen was taken aback: "See me?"
Ye Tianzhan was also quite surprised, pondered for a while and said: "Wufang, I will go there with you."
The attendants set up a line of glazed lanterns on the premise and meandered along the corridor of Xianyu Lake. Under the lights in the distance, Qingchen's white clothes and snow seemed to be flowing in the misty night. If you are startled, turning around in the lake seems to come from the blue leaves and lotus, with a beautiful and handsome face, elegant and elegant, which makes people doubt that they are looking at the painting.
King Ji and the others had already come over one step ahead and were talking to the Emperor of Heaven. The Ningcui Pavilion is decorated with bright lights, and low tables are arranged in order of priority. The amber light of the jade cup and the gold cup are all elegant and elegant. Ye Tianzhan walked into it with a graceful smile in his eyes, "Father, this It's Miss Qingchen."
Qing Chen knew that this old man in a long gown with cloud and blue dragon patterns was the current emperor, and before he could see the other people around him clearly, he felt a deep and sharp gaze cast directly into his eyes.
She actually felt a little nervous in her heart, she raised her eyebrows quietly, gathered her clothes and saluted without any haste, and a majestic and steady voice sounded in her ears: "Forget it, I heard that you were the one who cured Yuan Ting just now?"
Qing Chen got up calmly and thanked En, and replied: "Go back to the emperor, yes."
Taking the opportunity to look forward, the Emperor of Heaven sat beside the Prince of the Eastern Palace, Ye Tianhao. A cloud-colored gown with a purple ribbon, a handsome face as white as jade, and a scholarly and gentle manner all over his body. He sits very quietly, but he has a noble temperament that cannot be concealed even by the night. Majestic and majestic, and he is a noble man who cannot be desecrated.
"Well, that's right," said the Heavenly Emperor, "raise your head and let me have a look."
Qing Chen raised his head when he heard the words, and his eyes quietly met the eyes of the God of Heaven.
The extremely deep pair of eyes seem to be able to contain all emotions, emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are all gone in a flash, and there is no leakage, and then there is a condescending solemnity. She looked at the Emperor of Heaven curiously, with a calm and composed expression without avoidance or fear, and she was equally calm.
Looking at each other like this is already offensive to Tian Yan, the Emperor of Heaven seems to be silent on purpose, Qing Chen never lowered his eyes, Ye Tianzhan's brows tightened very slightly, and before he was about to speak, the Crown Prince said from the side: "Royal Father , do you think this Qingchen girl looks a bit like a person?" Ye Tianzhan immediately smiled and said: "Brother can also see it, if you say it looks a bit similar at first glance, but it's a bit different when you look at it again."
Everyone in the room was interested, Qing Chen glanced at Ye Tianzhan suspiciously, but the Emperor of Heaven laughed and said: "But you are talking about Luan Fei?"
"Exactly." The crown prince said: "I just saw it from a distance, and I thought it was Luan Fei."
Qing Chen hadn't figured out the meaning of these words, but he heard Ye Tianli follow up: "Actually, if you say they are similar, I think they are more like Sister-in-Law Jiu."
Being compared, Qing Chen was really uncomfortable, at this time a voice said slowly: "It's like Xianwu." His heart tightened for no reason, as if being grabbed by an invisible hand, the voice I don't know why there is such a painful feeling in the middle, there is some kind of sadness that cannot be resolved, which makes people feel sad for him.
It was another prince who spoke, Ye Tianli put away his jumpy smile, and said apologetically: "Ninth brother, I didn't mean it..."
Ninth Prince Ye Tianming had a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "I know." After that, his eyes fell on Qing Chen lightly: "It's not that the eyebrows and eyes are similar, it's just that every move, frown and smile between this appearance, I don't know where Unexpectedly, the eldest brother thought it was Luanfei who came with his father, but I mistakenly thought that Xianwu came back to life. Ha, Luanfei and Xianwu, the sisters, are carved out of the same mold."
Qing Chen's back felt chilly. It turned out that he compared her to someone who had passed away. No wonder Ye Tianzhan and the others never mentioned it before. From the words, it seems that the relationship between the Ninth Highness and the Wangfei is very deep, but I don't know what kind of confidante's fate has left one person here sad.
She turned around slightly and looked over, and couldn't help but praise secretly, the men of the Ye family were all handsome, but in terms of beauty, the Ninth Prince was the most beautiful.
Ye Tianming's complexion seems to be slightly pale in the brilliant glazed lights, and a pair of slender eyes under the slightly raised eyebrows, although looking at one side silently, floats and sinks into the myriad of lights and shadows, exuding an extremely enchanting bewitching, matching With a straight nose bridge and red sharp thin lips, the match is almost perfect. A man with such an appearance might feel ashamed even a woman. Holding an ice jade cup in his hand, he also looked at her when Qing Chen looked at her, his eyes gradually moved down her eyebrows, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he stood up abruptly from the table and shouted: "Xianwu!"
Everyone was stunned, Qing Chen followed his line of sight and bowed his head. The pair of skirts she was wearing today was an ordinary woman's dress in the Celestial Dynasty. Wearing a flowing dress. Because in the midsummer, not only the wide sleeves are loose, but also the jade-colored skin of the neck is exposed, and Ye Tianming is looking at the swallowtail tattoo on her collarbone hidden by her clothes, the veins on her hands are protruding, trembling slightly, almost pinching the wine glass broken.
Qing Chen subconsciously blocked the front of his shirt, and Ye Tianzhan said softly, "Ninth Brother." There was doubt and a hint of hesitation that was almost imperceptible in his words.
Ye Tianming seemed to be awakened by a start, loosened his hands, and turned to the Emperor of Heaven in a slumped manner: "My son... I'm rude, please forgive my father."
The Emperor of Heaven didn't say anything to comfort his son's unconcealable sadness, but he didn't criticize him harshly, he just waved his hand and ordered Ye Tianming to sit down.
Ye Tianming's beautiful eyes flicked across Qing Chen's face. After sitting down, he drank the wine in his hand, and then said: "The daughter of the Feng family has a tattoo of a swallow butterfly on her collarbone. She was invited by the famous painter Zhu Xianqing since she was young." It is patterned with the Yao sand of Moyun Mountain, and the shape is lifelike, coupled with the full and enduring color of the Yao sand of Moyun Mountain, it is unique in the world." He seemed to be in a daze when he spoke, a little drunk Confused, as if she had fallen into a distant memory, she looked at Qing Chen again with a gloomy gaze: "Why does Miss Qing Chen have the same imprint on her body, but she has some connection with the Feng family?"
Speaking of the Feng family, which is the head of the official family, there are nearly a hundred of its sons and daughters who are officials in the court. The valve power that Wei Zongping contends against.
The youngest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Luanfei, who was mentioned by the prince just now, was awarded the post of "Xiuyi". She has won the trust of the Emperor for many years. Although the female official Xiuyi does not hold real power, she always accompanies her to the court to listen to the government, review memorials, draft edicts and convey oral instructions. She is in the center of government affairs and has a noble status. It is a very high honor for women of the Yushi clan.
The daughter of Feng's parents, Feng Xianwu, married the Ninth Prince Ye Tianming a few years ago. It was a good story that the husband and wife were deeply in love with each other. Ye Tianming was heartbroken after the death of his wife. He had been ill for half a year before seeing improvement, but since then his temperament has changed drastically.
Qing Chen had also heard about the Feng family, and he shook his head in the dark eyes of Ye Tianming, expressing that he had nothing to do with this powerful family. Ye Tianming laughed at himself and said, "Even if there is, so what?" After finishing speaking, he drank another glass of wine.
The crown prince and Ye Tianming had the same mother, and his mother died early. He loved this imperial brother very much. Seeing that he was still very depressed, he couldn't help but feel worried, and said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. Ninth brother don't need to worry about it. Father , let's go for a walk on the lake to clear up the wine, Seventh Brother's Xianyu Lake is elegant and beautiful, and the lotus seems to be blooming better this year than in previous years."
The Emperor of Heaven nodded and got up to leave the table, "Zhan'er leads the way, let's go and see what good scenery has been added to your mansion."
The servant in front immediately turned on the lamp, Qing Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and since no one asked her to follow, he took the opportunity to retreat. All the princes accompanied her and walked towards Xianyu Lake. Ye Tianli stopped by her side for a while, and said in a low voice, "I'll find you to ride a horse in Yulinyuan someday." Followed by the Emperor of Heaven.
