Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 300: Half-quilt Light Dreams and Few Stars (3)
The bells of the fifth watch rang, the music and songs had died down, the moon was bright and the lights were sparse.
There are few bright lights in the Xiaoxiang villa, and there is still some residual snow on the windowsill. Under the small window, the wine has been poured out, and the lights are about to go out. There are seven or eight empty wine jars on the ground, and there is still half a jug of residual wine on the table.
Mu Qianqian, whose cheeks were flushed, was lying on the table, already drunk and unconscious.
With blurred eyes, Yan Rong burped, stood up unsteadily, and gently picked up Mu Qianqian.
The most sober among the four is Yu Fengjin.
One night, he drank quite a lot, but drank very slowly. Therefore, by this time, his drunkenness had already dissipated.
Seeing Yan Rong stand up, he quickly cast a concerned look at Yan Rong.
Yan Rong pointed to the girl in his arms and said in a very low voice: "Brother, Qianqian is sleepy. I'll find her a private room so she can have a good sleep. It's time for me to go back to the palace and be on duty!"
Yu Fengjin nodded slightly and whispered: "Go! Be careful on the road!"
At this moment, the girl in her arms suddenly shouted in confusion: "Yan Rong, you little treacherous thief, you have to be responsible for kissing me...responsible..."
After saying that, she smashed her mouth and fell asleep again.
Yan Rong looked at Yu Fengjin helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile, then hugged Mu Qianqian and walked quietly upstairs.
Mu Qianqian kept mumbling: "Yin thief...Yin thief..."
Yu Fengjin saw Lu Ning holding a wine glass and putting one glass at a time into his mouth.
She rested her chin on her right hand, her eyes were blurred, her body was swaying a little, and she seemed to be half drunk.
Yu Fengjin gently pressed her hand and said softly: "Stop drinking, you drank the most today!"
Lu Ning pushed his hand away and said sweetly: "Have you forgotten, Your Highness? I have a good drinking capacity!"
With that said, she picked up the wine glass and put it into her mouth again.
However, Yu Fengjin grabbed the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Drink if you drink any more and you will get drunk!"
Lu Ning smiled sadly, looked at him longingly, and murmured: "Didn't Your Highness say that you want to be wild once today? I just want to get drunk once..."
Yu Fengjin gently held her hand and sighed: "Sometimes the more you try to get yourself drunk, the more sober you become! Don't always embarrass yourself!"
Lu Ning withdrew his hand without any trace, stared at him with drunken eyes, and murmured: "His Highness seems to have never been drunk! I really want to see His Highness get drunk once!"
Yu Fengjin smiled faintly and asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to see me drunk?"
Lu Ning smiled slightly and said softly: "Because he spoke the truth after drinking! I really want to hear His Highness tell the truth."
Yu Fengjin frowned slightly, took a sip, and said with a wry smile: "Truth? For so many years, I haven't even talked in my sleep when I dreamed. I can no longer tell what is the truth and what is a lie..."
"
Lu Ning's starry eyes squinted and murmured: "Your Highness, isn't it tiring to live such a disguised life? Is it worth it?"
There was a hint of apology on Yu Fengjin's face: "I've been pretending for a long time, and I can no longer tell which one is the real me, so naturally I don't feel tired. After twenty years of walking on the same road, I should have stopped thinking about whether it's worth it.
Already."
"I'm too naive." Lu Ning curled his lips slightly and murmured in a low voice: "When I first met His Highness, I thought He was a playboy who bullied others and relied on his superiority. After getting to know each other, I realized that His Majesty is a humble and polite person.
A gentleman as gentle as jade. But along the way, I discovered that His Highness actually has a scheming and ruthless side. It is not easy to be friends with His Highness, because I can never see clearly.
Which side of you is facing me?"
Yu Fengjin couldn't help but be shocked when she saw her gleaming eyes and puckering lips.
He held Lu Ning's hand again and said softly: "You asked me so many questions, why don't you ask yourself why everything must be clear and clear? If you didn't run away, you would only see me
The gentle and considerate side..."
Listening to him mention the past, Lu Ning felt bitter in his heart.
She raised her head and looked out the window, and sighed longly: "It's getting dark, and this day is coming to an end. This day is like a dream, so unreal!"
As she said that, she supported the table, stood up staggeringly, and said softly: "I am willing to admit defeat. I have paid back everything I owe you, and it's time to go back."
Yu Fengjin also stood up, supported her shaky body, and said softly: "You are drunk, let me take you back..."
The sun has not yet risen, and there is still frost on the leaves. Today seems to be colder than yesterday.
Yu Fengjin and Lu Ning walked out of the door side by side. After a night of drinking, both of them were overwhelmed by sleepiness and drunkenness, and their feet felt a little sluggish.
Lu Ning looked at the Zhumen opposite, pushed his hand away, and said calmly: "Don't give me away at such a close distance!"
Yu Fengjin retracted her hand in frustration and whispered: "Okay, then I'll be here and watch you walk over!"
Lu Ning nodded and walked slowly towards the Zhuang Tower without looking back.
Yu Fengjin was suddenly behind her and softly called "Ning'er!" Lu Ning stopped slowly and turned around slowly.
Yu Fengjin smiled faintly and asked hesitantly: "If I have good wine in the future, will you still be willing to see me?"
Lu Ning was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered bits and pieces of the past in his mind.
She squeezed out a smile and said softly: "Your Highness's wine... I was hurt from drinking it..."
After saying that, she turned around and ran to the door in one breath, and rushed in without looking back.
——The prince’s thoughts——
The sun was rising, chickens were chirping in the cold wind, and a heavy snowfall came unexpectedly near the early morning. After the snow stopped, the vast white land was filled with despair.
A luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of Xuande Gate.
The carriage door opened, and the eldest prince, dressed in apricot brocade clothes and a black cloak, jumped out of the carriage in high spirits, and walked towards the palace gate with light steps.
Perhaps he arrived too early, and it happened to be just after the Lantern Festival. There were only a few dozing little eunuchs sweeping the snow on the road, but there were very few pedestrians.
Looking around, the splendid palace was covered with thick snow, and the plum blossoms in the unique corners were in full bloom against the cold wind. The bright and eye-catching colors took over the scenery of Ziwei Palace.
The eldest prince stood under the tree for a while, then called a few little eunuchs who were clearing the snow, stepped on the ladder, and cut off a few of the best plum blossoms.
He held the cold plums and walked to Emperor Yu's palace. From a distance, he saw Eunuch Shuangxi and Ming En standing at the door.
When the two saw the eldest prince approaching, they immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have come so early to say hello!"
The eldest prince smiled slightly and asked, "Why, my father hasn't gotten up yet?"
Eunuch Shuangxi came closer to him and said in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Highness, a queen was sent to the palace last night! Therefore, I am afraid that the Holy One will get up late today! Otherwise, you can go to the Queen's place quietly and wait for the Holy One to get up.
, I will come to see you again, old slave?"...
The eldest prince smiled and shook his head and said: "The Queen came back very late yesterday, so she will probably sleep a little longer today! Let me go to Qionghuayuan for a walk first, and come back later to say hello!"
Eunuch Shuangxi bowed and said with a smile: "Your Highness is interested!"
Ming En said softly: "Hey, Your Highness, this bouquet of red plums in your hand is really beautiful!"
The eldest prince looked at the bouquet in his hand and hurriedly handed it to Eunuch Shuangxi, smiling and saying, "Please, please put this bouquet in your father's room!"
Eunuch Shuangxi took the bouquet and bowed again: "I must let the emperor see His Highness's thoughts at the first sight after he gets up."
There was no one in the huge garden, and the eldest prince was strolling in the courtyard.
Cymbidium flowers emit bursts of fragrance, and the sky clears after snow, reflecting the pond and pavilion, like a timeless splash-ink painting.
The eldest prince stood on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking out at the meandering scenery, but feeling extremely melancholy in his heart:
It’s all because I was too impatient and went to show off in front of the queen before I could succeed. As a result, Liu Bingwen stepped in and ruined my good deeds!
As expected, the emperor did not agree to his marriage to Gu Sisi. He had no feelings for Gu Sisi originally, but after this incident, Gu Zhili did not show any dissatisfaction and instead made him feel apologetic.
He sighed helplessly: He finally waited for the day when he could start his own business. He thought that the appearance of Gu Zhili would open up a new situation, but his own recklessness brought everything back to its original shape!
After this time, the Queen will definitely impose stricter restrictions on her, and...it seems that no one can stop Liu's woman from marrying him!
He was lost in thought when an old voice suddenly came from behind: "Your Highness!"
The eldest prince looked back in shock and saw that the person standing behind him was the person he least dared to face at this time - Gu Zhili.
He smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to come to Qionghuayuan for a walk so early!"
Gu Zhili twisted his beard and said with a smile: "I came here specially to find you!"
The eldest prince was startled, and immediately became nervous and said, "Master Gu came to me so early, is there something wrong with Mo Ruo?"
His heart sank: It's over, it seems Gu Zhili is here to cause trouble!
Gu Zhili saw through his thoughts at a glance and laughed: "Your Highness, don't be too nervous! Even if we can't become a family, it will not affect the friendship between you and me! If your Highness needs anything in the future, I will still be obliged to do so!"
The eldest prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt even more moved in his heart: "Thank you, Mr. Gu Haihan! It was indeed my poor thinking about this matter that allowed the Queen and Liu Bingwen to get wind of it, which led to today's situation. After hearing what you said, I
I feel even more uncomfortable..."
However, Gu Zhili laughed and consoled him: "Your Highness, I have the guts to ask you if you can come to a humble abode to get together with me. I have some jars of fine wine that were sent as tribute this year, and I would like to have a few drinks with your Highness!"
The eldest prince said without hesitation: "It's easy to talk! After I pay my respects to my father later, I will follow you to the house and have a few drinks with you!"
Gu Zhili bowed deeply and said, "It is an honor for me to be honored by Your Highness!"
"By the way." The eldest prince looked around and said in a low voice: "Master Gu, is there no room for maneuver in this matter? To be honest, my mother is helping me arrange my marriage recently!"
Gu Zhili was slightly startled, and asked calmly, "But I wonder whose daughter the Queen has fallen in love with?"
The eldest prince sighed deeply and complained: "The queen mother's surname is Liu, and the queen mother's surname is Liu. The girl she found for me... naturally also has the surname Liu..."
Gu Zhili was not surprised by this choice.
"It seems that the Queen has already made plans for Your Highness's marriage. However, His Highness seems a little unhappy!"
After experiencing this, the eldest prince now regarded Gu Zhili as one of his own.
He sighed quietly and said: "Hey, actually I also understand that the Queen and Liu Bingwen didn't treat me sincerely. They were just using me! It's a pity that I realized this too late and let them manipulate me.
So long. Now, I finally have the opportunity to get rid of the Liu family completely. I am not willing to let all my previous efforts go to waste!"
Gu Zhili rolled his eyes and asked thoughtfully: "So, Your Highness still wants to marry Sisi?"
The eldest prince bowed his hands to him and said sincerely: "Master Gu, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope you can fulfill it!"
Gu Zhili quickly bowed deeply and said with sincerity and fear: "Your Highness, if you have something to do, just give me your orders. You are insulting me by saying this!"
