Records of the King of Xin'an County

Chapter 169 Hibiscus Banquet Night

When the two visiting envoys returned one after another, the new Jinshi continued to recite poems and compose Fu to express their feelings, singing and singing from time to time, having a great time.They also understood what the audience waiting outside wanted to see, so a series of beautiful poems and prose came out from time to time, and the wonderful sentences in them taught many scholars to applaud repeatedly.The first-ranked poems and fus of Xinke are particularly eye-catching, and their words and sentences are slightly better, which really lives up to their reputation.

However, Li Hui, who was caught in the middle of a few uninvited guests, had no interest in criticizing poems and fus.He just glanced at the manuscript sent by his servants, then gave it to Yang Qian, Yan Zhan and Wang Zimu, and let the three of them gather around to comment in a serious manner.Princess Changning listened quietly at the side, and the corners of her lips slightly curled up because of someone's words.Li Jing and the King of Qi had no interest in these prose, so they simply ordered people to set out utensils, and played the game of throwing pots.Even Princess Yong'an watched them play curiously.

It wasn't until dusk that the hibiscus banquet finally ended, and the Xinke Scholars bid farewell to each other and went home.The onlookers were also very satisfied, the crowd at the Qujiang Pool gradually dispersed, and the sound of laughter gradually faded away.

When he was about to leave the apricot garden, Wang Zixian was surrounded by enthusiastic Guozixue and Taixue students.Yan Balang and his old friend stood aside with a smile on their faces, finally finding a chance to greet him.Because it was late, they made an appointment for the literary meeting, and then they took their leave and left.

At the end of the song, the huge Furong Garden finally returned to tranquility.Standing alone, Wang Zixian suddenly looked back, and saw Li Hui coming out of the peony garden, walking slowly towards him.He was about to call him with a smile, when he saw a few more uninvited guests behind him, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Because of the presence of these outsiders, it was difficult for anyone to get close as usual, and the atmosphere was still somewhat delicate.

When Li Hui passed Wang Zixian, he just nodded slightly at him: "You are probably tired after a busy day, go back to the vine garden to rest earlier." After saying this, he felt a little lost in his heart , also raised a slight ecstasy.In any case, no one would be pestering him for answers tonight.

Vineyard?On such a special day today, he actually asked him to go back to the Vine Garden?

Wang Zixian seemed to have seen through his thoughts of escaping, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Your Majesty promise me yesterday that we would drink and celebrate together tonight? I have even prepared the wine I brewed myself in the past, so Your Majesty will not have the heart to make me drink." Are you disappointed?"

"Really? I promised such a thing before? How come I don't have the slightest impression? Could it be that you remembered it wrong?" Li Hui pretended to be puzzled, obviously planning to refuse to admit it.In order to avoid the answer last night, he finally came up with this excuse, and today he said that he can't have a drink together.Otherwise, if the drunkenness comes up and you accidentally utter some "truth" when you are drunk, there will be no room for regret.

Prince Xian, who had never seen him with such an expression, couldn't help laughing.In fact, he was not in a hurry to get an answer, and he knew that he must not rush it.However, occasionally teasing Xuan Qi who teases him, making him show various lively expressions that he has never seen before, is quite interesting.And these appearances that few people have seen belonged to him alone, probably even King Pu and his wife and King Sipu had never seen them before—just thinking about these, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

The two were still arguing in low voices when they heard "Zi Xian" from behind.The prince frowned unremarkably, and when he looked back, he had returned to his usual smile: "Cousin."

"Just now I wanted to apologize to you on behalf of His Royal Highness King Qi, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity." Yang Qian smiled slightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with extremely sincere guilt, "He is still young, and he doesn't often go out of the palace. There are some inadequacies in the above, I hope you will forgive me. Perhaps, Her Royal Highness Xianfei has never mentioned to him that you are also his elder when it comes to blood relationship. "

"His Royal Highness King Qi's demeanor is very calm and outstanding, why did my cousin say that?" Wang Zixian took the words, and glanced lightly at Li Jing and King Qi who were a few steps away.With such a close distance, no matter how low the voice was, King Qi might be able to hear their words clearly.how?Yang Qian was worried that King Qi would no longer rely on him wholeheartedly in the future, so he retreated to advance, trying to lure him to leave an impression of "arrogance and disrespect" on King Qi?

Tsk, he really thinks too much.He really doesn't like a spoiled prince like King Qi at all.

"Besides, cousin, don't mention it to His Highness King Qi. I dare not call him His Highness's elder. No matter what, I only have the status of a monarch and minister." Of course, this "lord" is not that "lord" , but because he is the eldest son of a sage, all the officials respect him as "Young Lord".As for the proper position of Prince of the Eastern Palace, perhaps he would never even think about getting it in this life.

"You, you've always been out of touch like this." Yang Qian shook his head with a smile, and changed the subject knowingly, "I just heard Zimu mention that the two of you brothers didn't return to Chang'an until yesterday? Stay in Shangzhou to help? Why, what embarrassing things happened at home? If there is a place where I can help, please don't let anyone see you."

"..." Wang Zixian sighed lightly, hesitant to speak.

Yang Qian knew that such a big family matter, no one from a family would spread it to the outside world.Even Wang Zimu, who has always been frank and candid, talked about other things when he mentioned this matter, let alone Wang Zixian, who was always cunning.Something must have happened to the Wang family, otherwise the brothers would not have come and gone in a hurry, and Wang Ziling has not heard from him so far.However, there were more than a dozen people sent by the Yang family to Shangzhou to inquire about the news, but they never found anything unusual.There are thousands of people in the Wang family in Shangzhou, and the eyeliner they arranged also made no progress.

How powerful is the control to completely seal thousands of mouths?

He secretly looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and the fear in his heart deepened unknowingly.Perhaps, it was because he gradually realized that this son's ability was not only on par with him, but more likely to be superior to him, so he couldn't help the evil thoughts boiling in his heart, and wanted to get rid of him completely as soon as possible.

It was clear that when they first met, he could crush him completely with just stretching out his fingers, but at that time, he didn't realize that he could actually threaten his fame and status.By now, it was too late to regret countless times.There was no more suitable time to silently kill this person.Moreover, even if he succeeds in killing him in the future, the reputation of being the youngest first-ranked head of the country will no longer belong to him.

Just as Yang Qian lowered his eyes to think carefully, Wang Zixian sighed again, as if he had experienced all kinds of struggles in his heart, he whispered: "My cousin doesn't know something, I really don't know how to speak about this matter. Zi Ling He... well... When will my cousin be free tomorrow? Why don't I go to the county government to visit my cousin?"

"Let's do it after sunset tomorrow." Yang Qian said, imagining countless scenes based on the meaning implied in his words.Whether these scenes are true or not will have to be confirmed tomorrow.Of course, he couldn't just believe the one-sided words offered by Wang Zimu, and Wang Zimu had to ask more carefully.

After leaving the Furong Garden, Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an returned to the palace together with King Qi, escorted by Yan Zhan.Li Hui and Li Jing returned to Prince Pu's mansion, while Wang Zixian parted with them temporarily because he was going to pick up Mr. Song from the Ci'en Temple.Wang Zimu accompanied Yang Qian back to Yang's other courtyard, always trying to maintain the peace of the past.

It was night, just when Li Hui thought that Wang Zixian had given up the appointment to drink and celebrate together, and was slightly relieved, he inadvertently found that someone came to him with two jars of cherry wine and smiled: "Xuan Qi, you Do you want to have a drink with the moon by the lake, or just taste wine in the bedroom?" He was not given a third choice at all.

"..." At this point, Li Hui was still a little unwilling and tried to "struggle to the death", "It's getting late, and we have to go to the Chang Dynasty tomorrow, so let's rest earlier."

"It's just two jars of cherry wine. It's not intoxicating, and it won't delay tomorrow's affairs. Don't worry." The prince offered, and asked the maids to bring wine glasses and appetizers. Night. It’s just a once in a lifetime—don’t you even want to drink with me on such a day?”

Seeing the melancholy in his words, Li Hui couldn't bear it for a while, so he sighed: "Only drink, don't mention anything else."

"Okay, just drink." Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips, "Don't worry, how can I have the heart to ruin your drinking?"

Hearing this, Li Hui glanced at him: "We reunited after a long absence last night. When I saw you, I was both happy and worried. What was your first sentence?" He remembered clearly that someone completely ignored his caring words , Ask right from the start——Xuan Qi, how do you think about it?Should you give me an answer? ——It left him speechless for a moment.

"You have clearly promised me that you will tell me your answer when I return to Chang'an." Wang Zixian is also eloquent, "I have been thinking about this matter all day long, so naturally I hope to get the result as soon as possible. Who would have expected that you would actually contradict your promise , how about tomorrow and tomorrow?"

"Since I haven't figured it out yet, why do you keep asking? No matter how hard I chase you, I can't give you a definite answer." Li Hui said, "You can just wait at ease. One day, I will definitely tell you—— "

The warm and soft lips blocked his unspoken words, licking the corners of his lips almost extremely softly, and then broke into his mouth fiercely, turning the world upside down.Without thinking, Li Hui instinctively fought back.While lips and tongues were intertwined, the battlefield kept shifting, and the flames all over their bodies burned higher and higher, as if even the blood was flowing with fire, almost melting them together.

After the kiss was over, the two stared blankly at each other.Before drinking, they are already slightly tipsy.

"Would you like to drink?" Wang Zixian's hoarse voice rang out, his fiery eyes lingered on the body of his beloved, and he did not conceal his desire at all.Compared with drinking, he certainly hopes to continue to be close to each other like before, and even go one step further.But he knew better in his heart that if he acted rashly for a while, the other party might escape because he couldn't bear the tension and pressure.You must continue to endure, walk slowly step by step, sometimes advance and sometimes retreat, sometimes attack and sometimes defend, boil the frog in warm water, in order to completely get the person opposite.

"Drink." Li Hui gritted his teeth and opened the wine jar.He finally understood that as long as the two of them are alone, doing nothing is the most likely to cause accidents.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zixian smiled softly: "Alright, I want to taste... what does the kirsch in your mouth taste like."

"..." For a moment, a bad premonition rose in the heart of Xin'an County King—maybe, he had already plunged into this deep pit named "Wang Zixian", and no matter how hard he tried, he could not climb out. get out.
