Chapter 2 Chapter Two
On the day of the trip, the sky was clear, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the smoke and fog were moist. Everything in the world was bathed in the soft light of this moistening thing, and it seemed to have a feeling of isolation from the world.
Chang Gong rode forward leisurely, Xiao Tie and Xiao Wan's bickering sounds mixed with Xiao Yu's laughter came into her ears from time to time, which made her feel a soft feeling in her heart.
"Heng Jia, don't just laugh and don't talk, you should also help me persuade Chang Gong to let him marry a wife." Xiao Wan said helplessly.
Chang Gong turned his head slightly, and looked at the young man who was riding a horse slowly on her right side, and saw that he was wearing a thin shirt like jade, as light as a shadow, as elegant as the first snow.On her flawless jade-like face, her eyes as bright as black agate seemed to be able to see through all the glitz and glitz of the world.
Chang Gong murmured in his heart, why did this fox follow him... It was strange, since at some point, the relationship between the fox and the third brother seemed to be getting better and better.
"Chang Gong, you are not young anymore. You can't learn from Heng Jia, let alone your elder brother. You should start a family and start a business. Our Gao family still expects you to flourish..." Xiao Wan chattered endlessly talking.
When Heng Jia heard the word "open branches and scattered leaves", Heng Jia saw that the corners of Chang Gong's mouth twitched obviously, and he couldn't help laughing secretly again, and suddenly heard Xiao Yu's playful voice, "Chang Gong, is it possible that you really want to?" Waiting for your little daughter-in-law to grow up?"
Chang Gong puffed up his cheeks angrily, "Brother, how many times have I told you that Xiao Tie is not my wife!"
"Hey, if you really like this wild girl, the third brother will not refuse to agree... But... Ouch!" After hearing a puff, Xiao Wan let out a low cry, rubbing her forehead that was hit by an unknown object, and said viciously He glared at Xiao Tie with an innocent face, "Stinky girl, you dare to sneak attack!"
Xiao Tie grinned, and put a pickled plum into his mouth in a calm manner, "Oh, I spit out the core a little harder just now, but I can't blame it, plum cores don't have eyes."
"You..." Xiao Wan's face wrinkled in anger.
"Third brother! Look! It seems to be here!" Chang Gong hurriedly pointed forward, taking the opportunity to change the topic.
Everyone looked in the direction Chang Gong pointed, and saw a huge tea mountain in front of them, stretching endlessly, the green covered the whole mountain peak, faint clouds and mist, illusory, bright sunshine through the white mist, sprinkled all over the mountain .
There is a stretch of pear blossom forest on the edge of the tea mountain, densely packed with white flowers blooming in the forest, the fresh fragrance of pear blossoms rushes to the face, like a ray of bright sunshine that drives away fatigue and laziness, shining in the mist, and occasionally a few birds chirp Ming slid into this continuous silence, adding a bit of agility.
Walking into the pear blossom forest, Chang Gong closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The clear and bright air refreshed her.
After the few people tied up their horses, they laid out the prepared things under the pear tree, sat around and chatted broadly.
"Brother, has King Ping Qin already set off for Yizhou?" Chang Gong suddenly remembered this matter.
Xiao Yu nodded, "I heard that he wanted to enter the palace to report again the next day, but was blocked by the guards in front of the palace gate, and ordered him to go on the road immediately." He paused, "The emperor is already suspicious of him, I'm afraid he may King Qin's official career has come to an end."
Chang Gong didn't speak, and looked up at Heng Jia, only to see that the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"By the way, brother, I saw that barbarian named He Shikai in the palace last time." She suddenly remembered this incident, "It turns out that he can play the pipa well, but the emperor actually allowed him to play freely. Going in and out of the harem and teaching the queen how to play chess, it seems that she is really favored by others."
As soon as the words were finished, she noticed a trace of gloom in her elder brother's eyes very quickly, and she couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart, telling her intuitively that her elder brother didn't seem to have a good impression of that barbarian.
"He Shikai is good at chess, and it is not strange to be favored by the emperor." Heng Jia smiled slightly, "Chang Gong, can you also freely enter and leave the harem?"
"Then what's the matter, the relationship between Uncle Jiu and me is not comparable to that barbarian!" Chang Gong blurted out, but for some reason, an inexplicable irritability appeared in his heart.
Seeing the somewhat confused expression on her face, Heng Jia glanced away, maybe he didn't even realize that the slightly raised corner of his mouth has been drawn into a straight line.
"Huh? Why didn't the third brother say a word today?" Xiao Yu glanced sideways at Xiao Wan, and was surprised to notice that the usually noisy third brother hadn't even said a word since just now.
Chang Gong also came over with a smile because he found a new topic, "Sir brother like this is so rare, could it be that he is sad?"
"That's really a strange thing. Xiao Wan, who has always been rough, can't be connected with Touching's sadness." Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows jokingly while holding a wine glass, and said not very seriously.
"Fourth brother, big brother... are you two still my brothers?" Hejian Wang Gao Xiaowan put away his fan and pressed it against his forehead deeply, feeling that he was so obviously depressed. These two guys Are you still talking sarcasticly over there? ?
"Anyway, most of your troubles are innocuous things." Heng Jia interjected with a smile on his face.
Xiaowan's mood is even worse, but it's true, these days even brothers can't be relied on, let alone friends?
At this moment, the sound of someone talking was heard not far away. A group of women dressed as maids were surrounding a luxuriously dressed girl. The girl seemed not expecting that someone was here, and raised her head in surprise. , I saw her eyebrows are bright, her lips are moist and fragrant, her slender figure is wrapped in a top with pear pattern and light yellow bottom, and underneath is a skirt of glass pattern gauze in different shades, although it does not look too liquid. Willows are as light and graceful as Zhaoyang Feiyan.
However, the strange thing is that the girl didn't respond at all to the stunningly beautiful men in front of her. It was the first time in her life that a woman treated her like air, and Xiaoyu was obviously shocked. What was even more frustrating was that the short-sighted house slave unceremoniously asked them to move out of their place. "You guys hurry up and get out of the way, do you know who our lady is!" The arrogance of the slaves was obviously extremely arrogant. "Oh, I really want to know who your young lady is." Chang Gong stood up with a smile and patted the dust off her body. "I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it. My lady is the daughter of King Ping Qin! The adopted sister of King Gao Rui of Zhao County!" The servant raised his head and showed an expression that might scare you to death. Chang Gong cooperated very well and made an expression that I was scared to death. Taking advantage of the smug look on the servant's face, he flashed in front of the girl, hooked the girl's chin with his fingers with a smile, and said twice, "Well, the little lady looks pretty good, why don't you go back with the young master." The girl seemed to be taken aback, her face was red, and she said angrily, "What a dare! Come here, teach me a lesson for this apprentice!" As soon as she finished speaking, there was a clap of thunder, and all the guards beside her fell to the ground, and a frivolous laughter came from the other side, "How about it, little lady, you'd better go obediently with the young master, Young master guarantees that you eat delicious food and drink spicy food..." Not far away, Xiao Yu held back a smile and shook her head, "Okay, there must be a limit to playing around, third brother, you go and call him back..." Just halfway through speaking, Xiao Wan saw But he stood up excitedly, "It's a shame I was still troubled for a long time, look, look, our parent Gong finally got the hang of it, this kid is still interested in women! If he likes it, we can just give that girl to him." Take it back!" Xiao Yu sighed softly, it turned out that this was what the third brother had been worrying about just now, it seems that he should do it himself.Otherwise, maybe the third younger brother would really rob the beauty in order to please the fourth younger brother. At this time, I saw a Pian Pian son galloping towards the girl, and before reaching the girl, he shouted angrily, "Where did you come from, you dare to moles the king's righteous sister!" As soon as the words fell, he threw the whip at Chang Gong without looking at it, but he didn't want to be dodged by the other party lightly. His expression changed, he was obviously taken aback, and he stammered, "King Lanling...you, you...why are you?" Unexpectedly, this Dengtuzi turned out to be the King of Lanling, this, this is too incredible. Chang Gong bowed unhurriedly, "It turns out to be King Zhao Jun." Xiao Yu also came over, and said with a little helplessness, "My fourth brother is really too naughty, he was really rude just now." Gao Rui knew that these two people in front of him were celebrities in front of the emperor, so how dare he offend him, so he hurriedly said, "The king of Henan is laughing, it turned out that it was just a misunderstanding." After finishing speaking, he paused again, "Prince Lanling His peerless looks make women feel ashamed when they see her, so how could they do such a boring thing." The girl on the side snorted, "I don't know what kind of hero the famous Lanling King is, so it's nothing more than that. What's the use of a man being good-looking, he's just a stinky skin." "Oh? How do you say that?" Chang Gong was really interested. I'm used to seeing women who are dizzy when they see his appearance. It's really rare to see such a beautiful girl who is unshakable. The girl raised her head and said, "Think about what is recorded in the history books. From Dong Xian to Qin Gong to Han Zigao, no matter how beautiful they are, they always think about how to invite their master to favor them. At most, they will make a princess vomit blood." What's the use of having a good skin?" Seeing Chang Gong's bewildered expression, Heng Jia immediately understood that this guy didn't like to study since he was a child, so he had never heard of these names at all, so he couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said, "Girl, it may not be so if I look down. During the Spring and Autumn Period, all the sons of the State of Zheng were not only beautiful in appearance, but also good at martial arts. One of them, Ji Kang, Longzhang Fengzi, is natural in nature, proficient in literature, metaphysics and music. The emperor of Xiyan, Murong Chong, was the first person in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period. It can be seen that a man with outstanding appearance may not be able to combine both have to." The girl froze there for a moment. Although she didn't say anything, she looked at Heng Jia with a little approval in her eyes. Chang Gong also secretly admired it in his heart, the fox is so powerful, and he said it all in one way. "Master Zhongshu Ling really has a lot of knowledge," Gao Rui smiled at the girl, "Xiu Jiang, you have nothing to say now." Xiu Jiang turned her head to the side, took another sneaky look at Heng Jia, and suddenly turned around and left. "My lords, I'm really sorry. My righteous sister has been spoiled since she was a child. Please forgive me and say goodbye." After saluting, Gao Rui hurriedly chased after her. "I also heard that King Ping Qin had a young girl who was fostered in Prince Zhao's mansion since she was a child. It turned out to be her." Xiao Yu shook her fan lightly, "She is an interesting girl." Chang Gong blinked his eyes, "However, Mr. Zhongshuling really impresses me. Just spit out a bunch of people's names and she is speechless. I think Mr. Zhongshuling is doing his part for this man who is both beautiful and intelligent." .” Heng Jia was about to speak, but he heard Xiao Wan sigh heavily, "It turns out that Chang Gong still hasn't enlightened..." Before everyone could answer, he stood up as if he had made a decision, and said loudly, "I have decided, brother, Heng Jia, I will take Chang Gong to Liuhua Garden tonight! I I can't believe that this kid doesn't know much about men and women!" The surroundings suddenly fell into a boundless silence, only a group of crows flew past screaming... "Well, my suggestion is not bad," Xiao Wan continued to smile triumphantly with her hands on her hips, knocking down a pear tree. "Third brother, your smile is so distorted." Chang Gong's back felt cold, and he was even more sure of his assumptions. Third brother, he was really bewitched. She glanced around, and saw that Xiao Yu was suppressing a smile, Xiao Tie's cheeks were twitching non-stop, and Heng Jia, the faint smile in his eyes had already revealed his emotions. "Heng Jia, don't you know Miss Xiao Ye very well, let her teach Chang Gong well!" Xiao Wan's words finally made Chang Gong break his skills, and burst out laughing, as if everyone was infected by her, except one. With Xiao Wan's inexplicable face, everyone burst into laughter. Chang Gong looked at everyone's happy smiles, and inexplicably rippled in his heart. The past is over, and there is no going back.What was lost has disappeared, and can no longer be found. But now she, and the future, and they... She suddenly felt that today's sky is very clear, beautiful, and warm... Everyone, unconsciously, has grown up. At this moment, a poem that I don't know where I saw suddenly popped up in my mind: It takes time to step on the flowers, and cherish the youthful spring.
The speed of rumors in this world is beyond Chang Gong's surprise.Ever since she was misrepresented as a confidant because of saving Xiaotie, she once again experienced the horror and widespread nature of rumors.In just a few days, men, women and children inside and outside the palace knew about it.After adding oil and vinegar, this matter was even made up in a twists and turns, giving full play to everyone's exaggerated imagination. Walking in the palace, Chang Gong obviously sensed the evasive gazes of the crowd, and could not help but sigh, perhaps it was because of this that Uncle Jiu hurriedly called her into the palace today. While walking through the garden, she suddenly found two people standing beside the flowers not far away, and was about to go around them, but she overheard a familiar voice. "Your face is very dignified and your hand lines are clear. You will definitely be able to marry a noble son-in-law in the future." Holding the maid's delicate little hand, her long forehead hair shielding her narrow eyes and true mood, Henan Wang Gao Xiaoyu, who is quite feminine, is smiling Sending auspicious words at no cost. "I hate it, Wang Guang of Henan can speak nicely," the maid, giggling and pulling away her hand, filled the high wine glass for him. The servant girl is not happy, she is too carefree." "Hehe..." He took a small sip, and the lips that fluttered slightly on the edge of the glass seemed to be smiling, "What a smart choice..." He lowered his eyelashes, and the amber wine in the glass reflected the crimson peach blossoms, and , his dark left pupil covered by his forehead hair... "Brother, why are you standing here?" Suddenly, he was slapped heavily on the shoulder, and the wine that had just slipped into his throat was almost choked out. Xiao Yu covered her mouth and turned her head with a wry smile. Chang Gong. "I knew it was you Chang Gong, what enmity do you have with me? You almost choked me to death." Chang Gong shook his head, "Brother, you are too careless, this is the royal palace, how can you flirt with the maids casually. If someone else sees it, it would be troublesome for you to read a book in front of the emperor." "The emperor won't care." Xiao Yu smiled meaninglessly, "Besides, who dares to join me in front of Uncle Jiu." "Big Brother..." Chang Gong knew that Uncle Jiu and Big Brother grew up together and had a deep relationship. Big Brother also contributed a lot in the process of Uncle Jiu becoming the emperor, but for some reason, there was always an indescribable feeling in her heart. Don't worry, King Ping Qin was also favored by the emperor before, but he didn't say he was demoted.Now Uncle Jiu is the son of heaven, and his sacred heart is unpredictable. He is no longer just Uncle Jiu, but he holds the power of life and death and commands the king of the world... Thinking of this, she also felt a little regretful about her frivolous behavior a few days ago. Xiao Yu saw that the expression on Chang Gong's face was constantly changing, and she didn't know that there were so many thoughts in her head, so she patted her on the shoulder and said, "The emperor summoned you, so hurry up." Chang Gong responded and walked towards the inner courtyard of the deep palace.
However, the strange thing is that the girl didn't respond at all to the stunningly beautiful men in front of her. It was the first time in her life that a woman treated her like air, and Xiaoyu was obviously shocked. What was even more frustrating was that the short-sighted house slave unceremoniously asked them to move out of their place. "You guys hurry up and get out of the way, do you know who our lady is!"
