Chapter 23 Conspiracy
The night is as cool as water, and the crescent moon hanging high in the sky is like a silver hook, scattering a sad and silent cold glow.
On the sheep's intestine path, the jungle on both sides is sparse, and there are occasional crows, which is even more ghostly and gloomy.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of kicking from the darkness in the distance, and then a few vague figures appeared. Soon, the horse galloped. Under the laying of the moonlight, the posture of the group is even more extraordinary.
Especially the leading woman, her face is cold, and the obsidian's eyes are as sharp as a leopard, which is the fierceness after precipitating everything, and bloodthirsty...
Take out the biography of the flying pigeon you just received from your arms: There has been a change in the capital, and you can return as soon as you see the words.
Immediately, he looked cold and kneaded the letter into a ball. His black eyes changed rapidly, and finally it was fixed as a sneer at the corners of his mouth.
The horse ran away quickly, and the ink hair flew over, like a ghost night shadow. The people behind him followed closely, and the group of people hurried away and were quiet in an instant.

The capital of Qi. Royal Palace
Emperor Qi held a banquet with his ministers in the imperial garden and had fun with them.
The royal garden at night was brightly lit at this time. From time to time, there were maids in uniform and combed buns carrying palace lanterns to lead officials in formal dress. The imperial army patrolled neatly from time to time. At this time, the banquet had not yet begun. The officials took the gossip of their families in twos and threes, and took away the deception in the court. At this moment, it seemed to be a little happy, but it was unknown how many gloomy there was in the back.
"The prince arrives---"
"Seven Princes to---"
With the sound, there are two people from both sides. The person led by one side is dressed in dark purple, and the hem is faintly embroidered with a golden cloud pattern. This person is the future crown prince, Prince Qi Jingxun. On the other side, the leader was dressed in blue and purple clothes, and the hem was also embroidered with a golden auspicious cloud pattern. It was the very favored seventh prince of the dynasty, Qi Che. The two protagonists of the two camps in the court are talking and laughing together at this time, which is a warm scene of brotherliness. The brotherhood is very deep, but in the palace, how can there be pure feelings? I'm afraid that only the parties involved can understand the turbulent undercurrent...
"I have seen the prince, the seventh prince." The ministers saluted with their families, and Qi Jingxun wore a gentle smile on his lips, but whether the smile reached the bottom of his eyes or not, you had to slowly figure it out. A clear face is five points similar to that of Emperor Qi.
And Qi Che on the side is always a cynical attitude, free and unrestrained, and the charming peach blossom eyes are fascinated by how many girls.
"The seventh brother came so early." Qi Jingxun's kind mouth is really like a charity brother, but a faint light in his gentle eyes always makes people feel a little unclear.
"Isn't the second brother so early? Is there any reason why the seventh brother is not early?" Qi Che seemed to reply with a joke, but the meaning of the words was intriguing.
He picked up his left eyebrow and looked at Qi Jingxun as if he were smiling. The aura was no less than that of the brother in front of him, and the air was filled with strange airflow... He immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder, looking like a good buddy, and then ignored him and sat down.
Looking at Qi Che who left by himself, Qi Jingxun's eyes were indifferent and strange. He reached out and patted the shoulder that had just been patted by someone, as if he was shaking off the contaminated turbid matter, and then sat down.
It didn't take long for Eunuch Li, the personal eunuch general next to the emperor, appearing in the garden, with a sharp voice cutting through the noisy night sky: "Your Majesty arrived--, the Empress arrived--"
"My emperor, long live long live, my mother is thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years-----"
The ministers bowed their heads and were quiet in an instant.
The king of Qi, dressed in a yellow robe, nodded slightly with a smile, without the majesty of the previous court, and a little more gentle, passing through the officials who knelt on both sides. Behind him was the queen in a phoenix costume and the bright and beautiful concubine. One is elegant and elegant, luxurious and dignified, and the other is gorgeous and dazzling. Sitting on both sides of the King of Qi are rare beauties.
"All loves you in peace. Today, I hold a banquet here, which is a family banquet. There is no need to be restrained, and there is no difference between monarchs and ministers. All the nobles and families can do whatever they want.
"Follow the order--" is a neat and uniform voice. Then they sat in their respective seats in an orderly manner.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone was staggering, pushing cups and changing cups, listening to songs and dancing, and a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the daughter of a university scholar is good at singing and dancing, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you ask her to give a song to cheer everyone?" Lifei smiled and suggested that the years did not leave many traces on her face, and the amorous feelings were obvious. It can't be seen at all that the palace woman who has given birth to such a prince as Qi Che, it can be seen that she is well maintained.
The king of Qi flashed for a moment and immediately answered, "It must be a person who can be praised by his beloved concubine like this."
"No," Concubine Li praised, "At the flower appreciation party a few days ago, the talent of the Cheng family's daughter really opened my eyes! Lian Che'er also praised her a lot! Do you think so, Che'er?" Lifei turned her head and looked at Qi Che, who was sitting at the bottom of the side, with a light smile.
Concubine Li's smile was too bright, which made Qi Che a little resistant.
"Oh? Even Lao Qi has a woman who appreciates it?" Emperor Qi was a little surprised. Even the woman who had always had his eyes above the top appreciated... He looked all the way to Qi Che with his searching eyes.
It's not that I don't understand the hidden meaning of my mother's concubine. I was slightly irritable in my heart. I raised my eyes and smiled and said, "Ha ha, Miss Cheng is extraordinary, and Qi Che sighed."
"Oh? Then I really want to appreciate the demeanor of the Cheng family!" Emperor Qi was even more interested. He turned his head to the courtier in the lower seat and said to the owner of the more front seat, "College scholar, don't hide your precious daughter. Hurry up and let the Qing family see it!"
Cheng Zihua hurriedly attended and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant. "Yes, I obey the order, poetry, you can come and play a song for Your Majesty." A generation of loyal ministers in the court is full of Confucianism. It is not difficult to see that he was also a vigorous and vigorous person in those years.
At this time, a woman in ferode slowly appeared in the crowd until she was completely exposed in the air.
Everyone is still, such a beautiful person! With a light smile on his face, he was warm and soft, and his jade-like eyes seemed to be clear water, quiet and elegant. It's not beautiful, but it just makes you can't move your eyes.
The person sitting on the upper seat is slightly blessed, virtuous, generous and elegant, "The minister is ugly." The sound is like a clear spring coming out of the valley, elegant and free from vulgarity.
The lotus step was slightly raised. Sitting in front of the piano case prepared by the palace people, the rising incense beside the piano made the woman's clear water-like face look even more hazy and illusory, as if it were a heavenly face.
The curling thin smoke also covered the woman's thoughts: when she heard Lifei mention her name, she paid attention to it. Pay attention to his reaction, especially when she hears his evaluation of herself, only she knows that her heart has already been tightly hanging! Nervous, uneasy, expectant but mixed with fear. After all kinds of complex emotions tormenting her for a long time, she finally waited for his answer.
At that time, she only felt that it was a joy she had never had before. No, it shouldn't be joy. It's not enough to express my mood at that time. To be precise, that's ecstasy! She didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, there were also some men who appreciated her, but only for him... He always easily pulled his emotions.
Is this the so-called emotion? Even if it's a word, even if it's insincere, I'm still like a fool.
Look carefully at him in his heart: Today, could you please pay attention to me again? Forget her and stop your eyes on me?
The sleeves of Feiyi's clothes are gently raised, and the delicate jade fingers are gently stroked on the silky strings. The jade is like agar and beautiful jade, which is slightly transparent and clean under the moonlight, which is dreamy and enchanting.
The tulle sleeves draw a beautiful radian with the movement of plucking strings with slender fingers. Her fingertips plucked, and the beautiful notes came out from her smart fingertips, forming a stirring music.
The melodious sound reveals a kind of expectation and an expectation, like a clear spring slowly winding down from the height of the stone cracks in the mountains, ice and jade, pure and clean, and not stained with fine dust. It flows quietly and speaks peacefully, arousing the soft resonance of the heart. It makes people unconsciously immersed in the peaceful beauty of this moment and does not want to wake up.
A soft sound, the end of the song. ( Alas, the bugs have no music cells. They think about it a few words, and by the way, they are mixed with technical words. The top pot shields...)
The imperial garden was silent without a trace of sound. Cheng Shishi looked up at the man and saw the sight of the man. She suddenly lowered her head, her face was crimson, and her heart was like a deer. Have you finally noticed me?
After a long silence, Qi Che stretched out his hand, and the crisp slap woke up the intoxicated people. There was a lot of applause and praise, and even the King of Qi looked at Cheng Shishi with great admiration.
Qi Che's lips slowly raised a shallow arc, and the glazed light flowed in her eyes, which was so distracting that she could not move her eyes.
"Is this song famous?"
Cheng Shishi stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, this song is called -- Don't miss each other."
The King of Qi laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. It's a good song that can't live up to lovesickness. Does Miss Cheng also have lovesickness?" He said half jokingly and half seriously, "If there is, I will make the decision for you!"
After saying that, the whole audience was silent, and there was also whispering. I want to know who is such a beautiful person.
