Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 583
Yuan Zhi skillfully rinsed a set of blue and white porcelain glutinous rice tea cups as thin as cicadas’ wings with boiling water. He said casually, “the golden dew quenches the soul of blue and white leaves, and the jade Calendula pours amber light. Drink a sip of tea, as if you can become an immortal! Meng Xia, no one wants to be Emperor just for drinking tea! However, in this palace near the mountain and by the water, drinking the tea made by the dew of the Ming Dynasty is really an immortal, and I don’t want to change it! ”
Meng Xia blurted out: “when you marry the emperor, you two will naturally be a couple of gods and fairies! You two have the same hobbies, the same intelligence, and even the same interests. If you don’t make a pair of mandarin ducks, even heaven won’t allow it! ”
Yuan Zhi’s face, momentarily gloomy down: “Meng Xia, you used to love how to make fun of all can, but Ning’er is now the emperor, how can your mouth still have no taboo?”
Murong Zhining took a plate of dim sum with silver chopsticks and pushed it to Yuan Zhi: “Meng Xia, I and Mr. Yuan, can’t go back to the past! What he is most worried about now is the gossip of others. In order to clear away the suspicion of ulterior motives, he is preparing to break up with me! ”
Meng Xia took over the dishes in Murong Zhining’s hand: “emperor, let me come by myself! Big brother, when did you become so cautious? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t care about anything for love? ”
Yuan Zhi chuckled and poured tea into the cup: “emperor, who says I want to break up with you? Don’t instill this idea into Meng Xia. She has a simple mind and will believe it! I just want to avoid suspicion and come back to SHANGXIA in a few years. Life still has so long time, we are still so young, separate a few years, also won’t have any influence! Besides, I was born in a merchant’s home, and I am very interested in doing business! ”
On Murong Zhining’s face, a trace of sadness flashed: “I I don’t object to you going out to gain knowledge! How can I bind you with your lofty ambition
Meng Xia patted the back of Murong Zhining’s hand: “the emperor, he is clearly escaping! Don’t wait for him, this cowardly man. You can’t afford to promise you! ”
Yuan Zhi, with a smile on his face, added a cup of tea to the two people: “you don’t want to taste this wonderful time and mellow tea, but you spend all your time on hurting spring and sad autumn! Meng Xia, the emperor is not like you, she has a delicate heart, but you are boring! Emperor, come and have a taste of the best tea in Shang and summer. A kilogram of tea is worth a thousand dollars. You can meet it but you can’t ask for it! ”
Meng Xia said: “my God! Is it impossible that every piece of tea is gold foil
In Yuan Zhi’s words, there is infinite love: “you two drink quickly! The leaves made of pure gold are not so expensive
Meng Xia looked sideways at Murong Zhining and turned his words: “emperor, you have been on the throne for nearly half a year. No one can shake your position in Shang and Xia! Therefore, Meng Xia decided to leave SHANGXIA and go to xiaobailian’s appointment! ”
Murong Zhining praised and nodded his head: “I had expected it! Meng Xia You Will you come back with me? ”
Meng Xia looked at Murong Zhining with sincere eyes: “of course! I promised the emperor that he would bring Xiaobai face back and be a bodyguard next to you. This is more powerful than the Constable of Yongning County Government. I will not break my promise! I can’t give up on you or big brother! Even if I love little white face again, he is not as important as you two… ”
Yuan Zhi joked: “Meng Xia, this kind of insincere words, do not say in the future, his face is red. The emperor and I will not care how much you feel for Mr. Shen. He is the one who can accompany you through your whole life
Meng Xia blushed with shame: “big brother How can little white face compare with you and the emperor? Emperor, I will be back soon
Murong Zhining nodded happily: “I don’t have the right to kidnap you and Mr. Yuan’s freedom. Everything goes with the luck! Meng Xia, if you see mulberry picking, please tell her that I am very good, and tell her not to worry about me, and live a good life with chiyun Siyuan! ”
Meng Xia gobbled up a snack: “mmm Well Well, that’s delicious! ”
Yuan Zhi, carrying a bundle, sent Meng Xia to the gate of the imperial palace. Outside the palace, a bodyguard rode two tall horses and stood upright.
Yuan Zhi tied the bundle to Meng Xia himself and tied the knot on her chest: “elder brother put a lot of silver notes in the bag, and there is another one with cash silver in it. Take care of the silver. Don’t be on the road. Poor family and rich road, how comfortable how to spend, elder brother’s most indispensable, is silver! Elder brother also wanted to go to see Lan’er with you, but he couldn’t rest assured of the emperor. When you see Lan’er, don’t talk nonsense. Remember to take care of your mouth! ”
Meng Xia frowned: “don’t worry, I will try my best to spend your money. Brother, are you afraid that I will say something wrong in front of general Helan? He knew that the emperor could not come back to him. Elder brother, why are you so resolute in front of the emperor and secretly care about her
Yuan Zhiyang raised his chin: “don’t ask so many questions, let’s go! These two horses have been trained, so changing horses can save a lot of time. Don’t worry too much. You’d better find an inn to have a good rest in the evening. Although you are full of martial arts skills, you are a woman after all! ”
Meng Xia mischievous smile: “I specially put on man’s clothes, in addition to you, no one knows that I am a woman. Go back to accompany the emperor. She is in a low mood these daysYuanzhi frowned: “since I can’t accompany her all my life, I won’t let her form dependence on me. Don’t worry. She’s busy with government affairs and doesn’t have much time to worry about. ”
Meng Xia stepped on the horse: “elder brother, I think the emperor is really in love with you. Don’t you take it too seriously. Are you afraid of losing her?”
Yuan Zhi looked up at Meng Xia: “let her forget chiyun Yuexuan. Do you think it’s so easy? Without three years, five years, even ten years and eight years, she could not get out. Don’t worry about it. Have a great love with Mr. Shen. Don’t let your youth down! ”
Meng Xia’s eyes were red: “you will only admonish others. It’s not that the emperor can’t put it down, but you yourself! I’m gone, and I’ll have it sent back. ” As soon as she had a dozen horses, she disappeared at the gate of the city in the distance.
Yuan Zhi looked at the direction of Meng Xia’s disappearance, sighed a little, turned and walked towards the palace. The guards who guarded the palace bowed to him respectfully.
Xu Jiantao followed Yuan Zhi: “Lord yuan, the emperor has ordered you to be a prime minister. Why do you refuse? Why do you stay in the palace with no intention of being an official? ”
Yuan Zhi looked at Xu Jiantao and said, “do you feel lonely in the palace? If you want to go back to Songyang for development, I will ask the emperor to let you go back! ”
Xu Jiantao hugged his fist and said: “I am a general of Shang and Xia dynasties, but I am a subordinate of yuan family. I am willing to stay with Lord yuan all my life. No matter whether he is an official or doing business, Xu is willing to follow him!”
Yuan Zhi said: “General Xu, you are my father’s personal training, but my father is no longer in the world. You don’t need to follow me. You have a chance to show your ambition!”
Xu Jiantao said obstinately: “I have determined that the yuan family is the master. No matter whether the yuan family is sinking or floating, I will follow the master yuan! The elder gentleman is kind to me, and the emperor is also kind to me. I can serve you both at the same time. If you don’t want to stay in the palace, I still choose to follow him! ”
Yuan Zhi shook his head and chuckled: “General Xu, good birds choose trees to live in, but I am not a big tree! You don’t have to stick to the form. Even if your father has ever been kind to you, you’ve already paid it back. You don’t owe yuan family, let alone me! By the way, you send someone to repair the yuan house. I want to move back to the yuan house! ”
Xu Jiantao asked casually, “isn’t it a good place to live in the palace? Why move out? Can the emperor agree? ”
Yuan Zhi’s face was sullen, and he brushed his sleeve and said, “you can go! Why so many questions? I Yuan Zhi is a man of indomitable spirit, but not the emperor’s favorite. Why should I live in the palace? Yuanfu is my root. I don’t need to be attached to anyone! ”
Xu Jiantao bowed and said, “I don’t mean that! I mean, when the emperor first deals with government affairs, he has to consult the Lord yuan. It may be more convenient for him to live in the palace! I’ll let people clean up the yuan house, but it may take some time. I’m afraid that some of the houses destroyed in the city will be taken up by the large families in the city
Yuan Zhi resumed his gentle tone: “I know. You can do it. I will take time to check the progress.”
In the imperial study, Fei Fei took a folding fan and enthusiastically fanned the wind for Murong Zhining: “emperor, you are really working hard to deal with the memorial without darkness or night! How did you manage all the troubles of the whole country in an orderly way? Are you born to be an emperor? ”
Murong Zhining looked sideways at Fei Fei Fei: “when I was in Huayan, I was the maid of emperor Huayan, so I often went in and out of the imperial study. I have learned how to reply the memorial, which are urgent to deal with, and which can be postponed! ”
Fei Fei sighed: “the emperor has a lot of wisdom. Even if you are familiar with it, not everyone can understand the essence of it! I heard that the emperor of Huayan had sent someone to ask the emperor to marry you, but I didn’t expect that you were the destiny of the real emperor! ”
Murong Zhining put down the purple hair in her hand, got up and said, “what is the real son of the dragon in this world? But the situation has made me! The opportunity comes, even the grass head king can ascend the throne. I’m a little tired. I want to go to the terrace of sangrou palace and see the scenery in the distance! ”
Fei Fei held Murong Zhi out of the imperial study and called for the Dragon chariot: “emperor, please! You walk slowly, be steady, don’t flash the emperor. ” He trotted along beside the chariot, constantly raising eunuchs to lift the chariot.
Murong Zhining got off the sedan chariot in the sangrou palace courtyard, holding the hem of the Dragon Robe, and went up to the terrace of sangrou palace. Fei Fei skillfully made a pot of tea for her and stood aside with her hands down.
Murong Zhining looked at Fei Fei Fei and said mildly, “manager Fei, you serve me with all your heart and soul. It’s hard work! I’ll give you a special permission to have a rest in the side hall downstairs for an hour. If something happens, I’ll send someone to call you! ”
Fei Fei was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Murong Zhining: “Emperor Emperor, is it a servant to take care of you? Don’t change your servant. I’m just used to serving you. If you think that there is something wrong with the slave, you can directly bring it up, and the slave will certainly change it! “Murong Zhining said softly: “you are very responsible. It is you who have done your best. I love you a little bit! I know it’s not easy for you to sleep at night. You can rest assured, I am very satisfied with you! ”
Fei Fei wiped the sweat on his forehead and went to the side hall downstairs of sangrou palace.
Murong Zhining stretched out his hand to attract Xi Mei: “you go to prepare two pots of osmanthus wine for me, I want to drink a cup alone.”
Xi Mei hesitated and said, “the Emperor Is there something wrong with you? Do you want to call up some singers to relieve your boredom? “
