The green trees in the Sixth Prince's Mansion are verdant, with mottled leaves. The dense branches and leaves cover the scorching sun, and block all the slightly hot breath outside. The breeze blows through, making people feel refreshed.
The path paved with black stones meanders in Nuo Da's mansion, stepping lightly on it, every step is shaded, the rockery in the garden is stacked with peaks, covered by vines, in front of the rockery is a lake, and a big willow tree leans from the shore On the surface of the lake, strips of blue willow branches hang down on the surface of the lake, reflecting the sparkling lake water, which is indescribably refreshing.
The back of the rockery is full of flowers, clusters of colorful flowers are really beautiful, the breeze blows, the blossoming flowers sway gently, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafts around, fresh and pleasant.
Long tables were placed in front of the flowers, with exquisite melons and fruits, fine wines, officials, princes, ladies, and daughters gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing with the breeze blowing.
Murong Xue looked around and couldn't help admiring: "The shade is everywhere, the breath is refreshing, entertaining guests in the open air is cooler than in the banquet hall, and the people who decorate it are really exquisite."
Ouyang Shaochen's face darkened, and he gave her a weird look: "If Xiao Bei heard what you said, he must be very happy."
Murong Xue's eyes froze: "Is this designed by the Sixth Prince?"
"En!" Ouyang Shaochen nodded. Xiao Bei has a noble status and outstanding literary talents. He has very high requirements for the place where he lives. This Sixth Prince's Mansion was designed and furnished by him himself...
"Ouyang Shizi!" Qingrun's voice sounded, and a young man came to meet the two of them. He was wearing a well-tailored blue robe, which outlined his tall and straight figure. The neckline and cuffs were embroidered with extremely fine silver silk. Wearing an exquisite python pattern and a brocade belt around her waist, she is chic and elegant.
"Sixth Prince!" Ouyang Shaochen's voice was flat.
Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed slightly, he is the sixth prince of Nanzhao, standing peerless, elegant as the wind, and truly extraordinary!
Xiao Bei's gaze also passed over Ouyang Shaochen, and landed on Murong Xue. She saw her long skirt dragging the floor, her slender figure, her beautiful face was bright and charming, her dark pupils were clear and cold, and her gaze was faint and faint when looking at him. , showing a trace of curiosity: "Are you Miss Murong Xue?"
"En!" Murong Xue nodded, looked at Xiao Bei, and said politely, "Sixth Prince!"
Xiao Bei smiled slightly, and led the two of them to sit on the chairs behind the long table next to him, looking at Ouyang Shaochen indifferently: "Your Majesty Ouyang just left Nanzhao not long ago, why did he come back to his old place so soon?"
"There is a small matter that needs to be dealt with." Ouyang Shaochen looked calm, as if unwilling to say more.
Xiao Bei didn't ask any more questions, and said softly, "Is there anything that needs my help?"
Ouyang Shaochen shook his head: "Not yet."
Xiao Bei nodded understandingly, looked at Ouyang Shaochen and said, "Today is my prince's birthday, if Ouyang's son is fine, how about drinking with me?"
Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Still fighting for wine? Are you afraid of being completely drunk like last time?"
"Last time, I lost to you because my prince hadn't practiced enough to drink. This time I will definitely not." Xiao Bei said in a low voice, his face full of confidence made Ouyang Shaochen raise his eyebrows Liaocha: "It seems that after a few months of separation, your drinking capacity has increased a lot."
"Of course." Xiao Bei nodded his head heavily. During the recent period, his fastest increase was his drinking capacity.
"Then let's not get drunk today?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at Xiao Bei and suggested softly.
"Okay!" Xiao Bei nodded in agreement, picked up a wine jar, and poured two bowls of wine.
The fine wine is light green, shaking gently in the white porcelain bowl, it is really beautiful, the faint aroma of the wine lingers on the tip of the nose, it is refreshing, like a sweet spring, without the slightest smell of alcohol.
Murong Xue's eyes lit up: "What is this wine made of?"
"Purple flowers and golden fruit." Xiao Bei said softly.
"Isn't the taste spicy?" Murong Xue asked carefully: She doesn't like to drink spicy wine, no matter how good the wine is.
Xiao Bei shook his head: "It's not spicy, the purple flowers and golden Luo fruit grow in the mountains, full of aura, the brewed wine has the taste of flowers and sweet fruits..."
"That's good." Murong Xue smiled, and reached out to grab the wine pot on the long table: She had drunk Qionghua Niang, Ningshuanglu, and many other wines made from flowers and sweet fruits. They all have their own unique taste, which makes people have endless aftertaste. This is the first time she has seen the delicious wine made from purple flowers and golden Luo fruit, so she naturally wants to taste it...
Seeing that Murong Xue was about to grab the flagon, a slender hand like jade stretched out out of thin air, grabbed her hand, and pulled the flagon away.
"What are you doing?" Murong Xue looked at Ouyang Shaochen dissatisfied.
"You drink too little, it's not suitable to drink here. Even if you like it, you have to wait until you get back to the other courtyard." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, with rare seriousness in Qingyue's voice.
Murong Xue frowned slightly: "I came with you, if I get drunk, you can take me back."
Ouyang Shaochen's eyes were deep: "I don't know when the sixth prince and I will fight for wine. You get drunk when you drink, and you have to wait here for a long time before I can take you back..." In fact, what he wanted to say more was, The drunk Murong Xue, with misty eyes and blushing face, is extremely attractive. He doesn't want her to be seen by others.
"Okay then!" Murong Xue nodded reluctantly, she didn't want to get drunk here and be surrounded by people, so she had to wait until she returned to another courtyard to drink...
"Let's eat some melons and fruits, the taste of melons and fruits is also good." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, and put a plate of sliced melons in front of Murong Xue.
The faint fruity aroma lingered on the tip of her nose, Murong Xue nodded, "Okay!" Picking up a slice of melon, she ate it slowly.
Ouyang Shaochen took out a silk handkerchief, stuffed it into her hand, and wiped the dripping melon juice for her. The tacit movement between the two made Xiao Bei narrow his eyes slightly, and a hint of meaning flashed in the amber eyes profound…
"The imperial decree is here!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, everyone was startled, the emperor has come for the imperial decree? real or fake
Following the prestige, I saw a father-in-law holding a whisk, holding a bright yellow scroll, striding over, every step made a loud noise, as if he was deliberately announcing his arrival.
"The sixth prince, Xiao Bei, accepts the order!" The eunuch looked down at Xiao Bei, his eyes and brows were full of arrogance.
Something flashed quickly in Xiao Bei's eyes, he slowly lifted up the hem of his clothes, and knelt down.
Murong Xue also frowned, and casually followed the crowd to kneel down, looking around, most of the garden was full of kneeling people.
The eunuch nodded in satisfaction, unfolded the imperial decree, and read aloud: "By God's blessing, the emperor said that today is the sixth emperor's younger brother Xiao Bei's birthday, and a special Buddhist scripture is bestowed as a token of congratulations. Thank you for your kindness!"
