In April, the willow silk grows long, the grass buds are green, and the peach color is light red.The blue smoke is thin and the wind is warm. The fragrance of dew on the bamboo leaves wafted in the air, and the spring was as gentle and intoxicating as ever. Under the glazed tiles on the high wall of Qi Palace, a group of gray-white pigeons flapped their wings and gradually flew into the endless blue sky. In the meeting hall of the Nangong, civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes, taking advantage of the gap while waiting for the emperor to arrive, discussing the recent big and small things that happened inside and outside the court, laughing and laughing while talking, and they were relaxed.

Among the crowd, Zhongshuling Hulu Hengjia also dealt with his colleagues around him with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of sarcasm flowing from the corners of his brows and eyes that was difficult for others to detect. In just a few years, three emperors died in succession in the Qi Kingdom, and the owner of the dragon chair changed again and again. Everyone seemed to have become accustomed to this situation.That's right, as long as you don't get involved, then what difference does it make if who is the emperor? "Chang Gong, tell me the truth, have you seen those portraits?" Hejian Wang Gao Xiaowan's confident voice suddenly sounded behind him.When he heard the word Chang Gong, subconsciously, he turned his head and looked in that direction.

"Third Brother, you've been asking non-stop since you left the house, are you annoying?" Chang Gong appeared in front of him in a flash, and the light crimson clothes and black hair followed her. Shi's steps were swaying, as light as a butterfly dancing by itself, elegant and flying, and her face was as clean as jade, with a smell of washing away the lead, beautiful and heroic. Xiao Wan's face collapsed as if she had been hit hard, and she pulled out a small handkerchief from nowhere, pretending to wipe away her tears, and looked at her sadly, "Okay, now you are crowned king, your wings are stiff, and you don't know what to do?" I think your third brother is annoying."

Heng Jia's eyes couldn't help showing a layer of light smile, this trick has long been ineffective against Chang Gong.I saw Chang Gong lowered his head helplessly, and sighed heavily, "Brother, I lost to you, in fact, I..." After saying a few words, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes rolled, and her gaze suddenly It landed on him, and his eyes lit up immediately, as if seeing a savior, he shouted towards him, "Hang Jia, we haven't finished talking about what happened yesterday!" As she said that, she quickly rushed to his side, and threw aside Xiao Wan who hadn't reacted yet.

Heng Jia smiled slightly, "What, you're causing trouble again? Look, the King of Hejian is in a hurry." Chang Gong rolled his eyes, patted his chest exaggeratedly and said, "It's more terrifying than causing trouble. Do you know that the third brother has been bewitched by something these days and is busy looking for a wife for me." Looking for a wife?Heng Jia's brows raised a narrow look, "The King of Hejian is also kind, Chang Gong, you are not young. Why are you so ignorant?" Xiaowan from this room also squeezed over, nodded repeatedly and said, "Look, even Heng Jia said that, third brother is doing this for your own good, besides, third brother also said that you must choose by yourself."

Chang Gong frowned, and rubbed against Xiao Yu's side again, "Brother, you don't even say a word for me." Xiao Yu looked like she was enjoying the show, but she just smiled and said nothing. "By the way, I still have a few younger sisters. Chang Gong, why don't you marry us as in-laws, wouldn't it be better." Heng Jia suppressed a smile, as expected when he watched Chang Gong puff up angrily His cheeks were covered, his face was reddish, his lips moved slightly, as if he was talking about something. When he vaguely heard the words "dead fox", he felt even more amused in his heart, such a Chang Gong seemed to be a little bit more coquettish than a little daughter.

That's right, she was originally—a girl. Suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the main hall, Heng Jia saw a vigorous blue figure walking up the hall from the corner of his eye, at the same time, several ministers immediately surrounded him, their faces covered with With a flattering and flattering smile, he greeted him attentively. The person who came was Gao Guiyan, King of Ping Qin who is now in the limelight. Before that, he had made great contributions to supporting Emperor Xiaozhao, and his grace was boundless. Before Emperor Xiaozhao passed away, he stood in the camp of the new emperor Gao Zhan. Greeting Gao Zhan in Yecheng in person, he gained Gao Zhan's trust. The emperor even issued an edict: Every time he entered the palace, King Gao Guiyan of Ping Qin could bring three attendants with swords in and out.This move can be described as the favorite at that time.

With the sound of the emperor's arrival, the officials who were polite to each other just now fell silent and stood with their heads bowed. The hall was suddenly silent. The current emperor slowly came out from the back of the palace, looked around coldly at the officials below, and after signaling for everyone to flatten down, he sat firmly on the dragon chair. "What's up with the family today?" The emperor's voice was cold and deep, like a deep sleep under low clouds and a bright moon shining brightly. Hearing this familiar voice, Chang Gong couldn't help but raised his head and took a sneak peek. Uncle Jiu, who is now the emperor, was wearing a soap-colored imperial robe, and the black flat crown on the top of the sky was dangling on the top twelve. The white jade bead curtain hanging from the edge covered his elegant and handsome face, which made people feel that Tianwei was unpredictable. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, she could imagine that Uncle Nine's brown eyes must be in harmony with It's usually as flat as water, but as cold as ice.Thinking of this, she lowered her head, feeling a little melancholy in her heart. At this moment, Uncle Jiu is like a bright moon hanging in the sky, which is beyond reach.

She didn't hear clearly what was being played by others, but felt her mind was at a loss, and she was caught in an extremely delicate emotion. At this moment, she vaguely heard Uncle Jiu's cold voice again. "...King Pingqin, I have decided to canonize you as Dazai and appoint you as governor of Jizhou. I will set off for Yizhou immediately." As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. The official position of the Dazai was completely vacant, and the governor of Jizhou clearly wanted to release King Ping Qin and weaken his power in Yecheng.

Heng Jia slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, such an ending was within his expectation.King Ping Qin lived as a general and minister, an extremely powerful minister who didn't know how to hide his secrets, was full of will, corrupt and accepted bribes, and did everything.What's more, he often spoke insultingly to the courtiers, as if there was no one else around.How can the emperor tolerate him with such a character? Gao Guiyan himself was also stunned there, and was about to step forward to say something, but saw the emperor tilted his head slightly, the pair of brown eyes under the white jade bead curtain were faintly visible, Gao Guiyan couldn't help being startled, his eyes waved so coldly !It is as if the smoke and water are covering the cold dew, and the illusory and bone-piercing cold seems to be able to condense the cold snow, frost and dew on a winter night into the bone marrow of a person.

"Sir, thank you for your grace." There was a bit of helplessness in his voice, he pressed all his unwillingness into his chest, knelt down and kowtowed several times. Chang Gong felt that Uncle Jiu's eyes seemed to pass by her inadvertently, and then disappeared under the fine jade curtain in an instant.Her thoughts stagnated, and she only felt a sense of loss and wandering faintly in her heart. After the court was over, when Chang Gong and his brothers walked to the gate of the palace, the servants in the palace stopped her, saying that the emperor had something to call her alone.
Without any hesitation, Chang Gong immediately followed the servant to the inner courtyard of the deep palace. Spring came quite late this year. In previous years, the peach blossoms had already gradually fallen at this time, but this year, the branches are still gathered like clouds.The young leaves growing from the slender willow branches are also very cute. Gao Zhan was sitting in front of the window waiting for her. The dense twigs outside the window reflected the warm spring sun lowly, and the faint sunlight cast a faint haze on the side of his face.His thin lips were slightly parted, evoking a shallow arc, a smile that was not a smile, very light, soft, very quiet... He was completely different from the indifferent king in the palace before. "Chang Gong, come here." He waved to her. Chang Gong responded, and when he stepped forward, he realized that there was a chessboard made of jade on the table in front of Uncle Jiu, which was polished very smooth and had a mysterious texture.There is a faint sun pattern on the raised part in the middle of the chessboard.At both ends of the chessboard are two holes decorated with dragons. It turned out to be a board for playing chess.Chang Gong is no stranger to such things.Uncle Jiu has always been fond of playing chess, Azalea, Touhu, Tibetan hook, four-dimensional, and Xiangxi, but apart from playing chess, she has no interest in other games.I heard from the third brother that a barbarian who is good at games seems to have come to the palace recently, and he seems to be quite favored by Uncle Jiu. Gao Zhan motioned her to sit opposite him, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Come and play a game with me." Hearing that he didn't call himself by me, Chang Gong couldn't help but move slightly, and he almost blurted out the word Jiushu, but immediately worried that after all, there is a difference between monarch and minister, so he hesitated for a while before replying, "Your Majesty, then the minister will start first." .” Gao Zhan's eyes darkened, he quickly suppressed the displeasure in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "If you lose, you will be punished." Chang Gong nodded, and flexibly moved his six chess pieces, ejected them, and tried every means to make his own chess pieces fall straight into the opponent's round hole through the raised part in the middle of the chessboard. Playing chess may seem simple, but it is actually very complicated.As the two sides of the game, not only must use both eyes and hands, but there must be no slack or negligence in the middle.Playing, poking, hammering, skimming, twisting, moving the virtual and the real, step by step yin and yang.While preventing the opponent's pieces from entering the hole, suddenly attack his pieces so that they cannot move.In the end, whoever can make all six of his chess pieces into the opponent's holes is considered a winner. As soon as Chang Gong started playing, he had no distractions, obviously he had forgotten the identity of the opponent's emperor, and unceremoniously blocked all Gao Zhan's chess pieces. Seeing that her last ebony chess piece was about to enter the hole, Gao Zhan suddenly made an unexpected move. He actually dipped some talcum powder with his finger and flicked it towards her face.When she turned her head to dodge, Gao Zhan quickly shot his two chess pieces into the hole. Chang Gong was immediately annoyed, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers. He pushed the chessboard and blurted out, "Uncle Nine, you are too cunning! Isn't this cheating!" Instead of being annoyed, Gao Zhan laughed. Chang Gong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and was about to say something when Gao Zhan said again, "Chang Gong, because I am busy with government affairs these days, I can't help but treat you a little coldly. But," he was playing with the chess piece in his hand, " Even though I am the emperor, I am still your uncle Jiu. Nothing has changed, understand?" Chang Gong felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Then when no one is around, I'll still call you Uncle Nine." Gao Zhan straightened his brows and eyes, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "By the way, I'll show you something novel today." After finishing speaking, he pushed up the scale and asked the palace servants to present the things. After a while, the palace people presented a jug of grape wine and a pair of transparent glass wine glasses. Chang Gong was not surprised by the wine he had seen at the banquet, but was somewhat curious about the transparent cup, which was green with a hint of green. Blue, translucent, the sun shines on it, shining brightly. "What a beautiful cup!" She stretched out her hand to touch the cup, only to feel the cool and lubricating touch. Gao Zhan smiled, "This is a glass wine glass from Turks, look at it," he said, he reached for the jug and poured some wine into the glass.The color of the cup suddenly changed, becoming dark purple and crystal clear, refracting a beautiful luster like a crystal... Chang Gong immediately widened his eyes and shouted, "Uncle Nine, this cup can change color, so strange!" Gao Zhan took her surprised expression into his eyes with satisfaction, shook the wine glass slightly, and handed it to her, "Try it, what's the difference?" Chang Gong took it and drank it in a gulp, which drew a chuckle from Gao Zhan. He seemed helpless and said, "Can you taste any difference in this way of drinking?" Chang Gong blinked, "Uncle Jiu, does this count as chewing peonies?" Gao Zhan finally couldn't help laughing loudly, Chang Gong was really a little embarrassed, his slender fingers kept twirling the wine glass, and said awkwardly, "Uncle Jiu, I'm leaving." "Wait a minute," Gao Zhan wiped her face with his hands, and said with a smile, "This face is still covered with talc, it looks like a cat, and you plan to go out like this?" The moment his fingers touched her skin, an inexplicable throbbing instantly spread throughout his whole body. The indescribably wonderful touch, warm, soothing, and faint plum fragrance made him feel dazed, Intoxicated... He lowered his head, and there was a slight ripple in his brown pupils. Chang Gong noticed that the other party's fingers suddenly stopped slightly, and raised his head, only to see that the smile on Uncle Jiu's face had disappeared, and he just watched her quietly, with a half-blind and half-ambiguous look in his eyes, as if The deepest and thickest lake water gently surrounded her. Outside the window, the light and shadow flowed against the current, a gust of wind blew past, and just happened to blow down a tree of peach blossoms, and in an instant, a distant and light fragrance spread out. "It's getting late, you should go back to rest earlier." Gao Zhan suddenly withdrew his hand, and the faint expression returned to his face.Although Chang Gong felt that Uncle Jiu's expression was a bit strange just now, he didn't think too much about it, and left Zhaoyang Hall after saying goodbye to him. Looking at Chang Gong's back, Gao Zhan closed his eyes, quietly listening to the wind blowing the leaves rustling outside the window, but his heart was in an unprecedented chaos.
When Chang Gong passed the imperial garden, he heard a melodious sound of pipa coming from a pavilion not far away. It seems that someone is playing the pipa in the pavilion, and the lady sitting on the side listening is the former Princess Changguang and the present Empress Hu. The Empress is wearing a green goldgrass dress today.A gust of wind blew up, and the gold-haired long dress was dragged and swayed. It was unparalleled in luxury, and the red gold bracelet inlaid with carnelian made her skin fairer. She was thinking about it when she saw the Queen turned her head and rolled her eyes, obviously seeing her. Chang Gong wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen it, so he could be lazy and salute less, but now that he had been discovered, he simply stepped forward and saluted the queen. The queen smiled lightly, pointed to the man playing the pipa, and said, "Chang Gong, since you're here, let's play a song with your lord." It was only then that Chang Gong noticed that the person playing the pipa was a young man. His curly light brown hair and deep facial features indicated his different bloodlines. She wondered, could this be the Hu who has been favored in recent legends? people? "It turns out that this is the Prince of Lanling. It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. I am a gentleman." The man stood up with his pipa in his arms, and said neither humble nor overbearing. Chang Gong took a closer look, and found that although He Shikai was a barbarian, he had delicate features and handsome features, with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and a smile on his lips. The sun shone on his cheeks as if a layer of crimson had been cast on his cheeks. Xia, hard to describe, hard to draw, indescribable. "My lord He's pipa sound, I have already experienced it just now." Chang Gong said a few polite words with a smile, but he was a little puzzled in his heart why this master He seemed to be in the harem, it seems that it is indeed not an ordinary subject Pet. The queen smiled and glanced at Heshi Kaidao, "His Excellency is best at holding a lance. The emperor has already agreed to let His Excellency teach me how to hold a lance. In this way, I can often accompany the emperor to relieve boredom." Chang Gong smiled, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful." Although the queen was still gentle and kind to her, Chang Gong felt an invisible alienation.After all, Aunt Ninth is different from Uncle Ninth, so she naturally knows how to watch words and demeanor, and will never exceed the etiquette. At this moment, the servant beside the emperor rushed over, and he seemed to be relieved when he saw Chang Gong, and hurriedly handed over the brocade box in his hand respectfully, and said with a smile, "My lord, are you still waiting for me?" It’s fine if you don’t leave, this is given to you by the emperor.” Chang Gong took the box, opened it, and found that what was inside was a pair of glass wine glasses that were used just now. "The emperor treats Chang Gong really unusually." The queen glanced at the cup, her tone was calm and calm, "This priceless glazed cup, the emperor usually doesn't even allow others to touch it." Chang Gong was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless for a while. When she returned to the mansion, Xiao Wan enthusiastically came to persuade her to go outing in the countryside together.Xiao Tie cheered for joy as soon as she heard it, and she immediately nodded in agreement. In such a season and such a weather, it is wonderful to go out for an outing. What's more, there are two handsome brothers who are handsome and handsome?
