Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky Chapter 17: 、A Dream of Wushan Long 1

In August, the autumn colors are gradually appearing, the yellow leaves in front of the Ziying Hall fell to the ground, and the attendants just swept it away, when the wind blew, it fell to the ground again.

At noon, there was a sound of "the ministers are waiting to leave" in the Ziying Hall, and the attendants hurriedly bowed their heads and retreated to the side. The back of the hall couldn't help but look back at the queen on the jade throne, her brows furrowed in worry.

"My lord."

Leng may wish to hear a voice behind him, as pleasant as a Guqin whispering, Xu Shi turned his head, and saw Qing Huijun walking slowly, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground like a high mountain scholar, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and saluted Said: "I have seen Qing Huijun."

Jiuyao returned the gift with a smile, "The prime minister of the country looks worried, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Xu Shi shook his head, looked back at Ziying Hall, and then looked at Jiuyao and said in a low voice: "I just feel that the Lord has lost a lot of weight recently."

The smile on Jiuyao's face slowly faded away, and he looked at Ziying Hall, with melancholy in his eyes, then he nodded slightly at Xu Shi, passed him, and walked towards Ziying Hall.

Stepping into Ziying Hall, one can naturally see the lonely shadow on the jade seat, that thin figure is like a slender bamboo, which seems to fall down when the wind blows.

In fact, without Xu Shi's reminder, Jiuyao has already seen that something is wrong with her. Since the end of the rebellion, in just over ten days, she has lost weight rapidly. After the round cheeks disappeared, her face became smaller The circle, the chin is sharpened like an awl, and the current Qing Wang looks more like a sharp long sword at a glance. Contrary to her thin body, she is full of vigor, bright eyes, and quick steps. She seems to never tire of being diligent in political affairs. She is still the queen who is decisive and resolute, and is even more respected by all officials.

Jiuyao watched every day, secretly horrified.

It seems to be looking at a fire, which is burning fiercely, and maybe the next moment the embers will be turned into ashes and smoked.

Feng Duying stepped down the jade steps and was not surprised to see Jiuyao standing in front of the hall, he just said: "It's time for dinner again?"

These days, Jiu Yao has to eat three meals a day with her. If it was General Fengying in the imperial capital in the past, she would have walked away with a frown in annoyance, and if Mr. Gu pestered him a few more times, she would probably be the Fenghen sword out of its sheath and coldly scolding, "Again!" If you keep pestering me, I will chop off your paws and serve wine to the soldiers!". But today's King Qing never refuses, never speaks too much, and lets everything go his own way.

"Yes, today I asked them to make a 'Pear Blossom Tofu Soup', which is very light and delicious. You can try it later and see if you like it." Jiuyao smiled.

"Yeah." Feng Duying didn't stop, and walked past him quickly, walked out of Ziying Hall and went straight to Fengying Palace.

She outside the court seems to have been tightly wrapped in layers of thick ice.

The two of them returned to Fengying Palace, the meals had already been prepared, and Feng Duying sat down. The female Shi Ye Lianzhou who was waiting on the side first served her a bowl of soup. Everyone in the room was startled by coincidence, the soup in Feng Duying's bowl spilled out and wet the hem of his clothes.

"It's called at this moment, but it hasn't been fed yet?" Jiu Yao looked outside the hall and said. The bigger the blue bird grows, the bigger the food intake. It has to eat three meals a day, and every meal needs more than ten catties of raw meat.

"I guess the servant who feeds the birds has been taken care of." Ye Lianzhou said, then turned her head and ordered someone to remind her.

Jiuyao turned his head and looked at Feng Duying on the opposite side. A court lady was squatting down and wiping the soup on her clothes. If it was before, she would not be able to bear the dirt, and she had already got up to change the clothes, but at this moment, she was just drinking the soup indifferently, not looking at it. Have a look.

"I'm full, and there are still papers that haven't been approved, so take your time." After taking a few sips of soup, Feng Duying put down the bowl, got up and left, and went to Hanchen Hall.

All the palace people in the first hall could only watch her leave, and then all looked at the only Qing Huijun present at the same time.

Looking at the bowl she put down for a long time, the soup was only half drunk, and the rice and dishes on the table had never been touched. For the past half month, it has been like this. Every meal, she only eats a few mouthfuls to make herself full, and sometimes even drinks a few mouthfuls of soup. If he didn't go to her every day when the meal came, she probably wouldn't remember to use it. Meal will not feel hungry.

"Qing Huijun, my lord doesn't think about food and drink, how can my body survive in the long run?" Ye Lianzhou said worriedly.

Jiuyao didn't make a sound, staring at the palace gate, there was no one there long ago, he just watched quietly, and silently picked up the bowls and chopsticks after a long time.

Ye Lianzhou sighed softly and backed away.

After Jiuyao had dinner, he went back to Yingshou Palace. When Xiangyi saw him, he immediately came forward cheerfully, "Mr. Qing Hui, I have prepared everything you asked me to prepare."

Jiuyao suddenly smiled, and patted her on the head appreciatively, "Xiangyi is fast in doing things."

Xiangyi smiled when she heard the words, "Mr. Qing Hui, is there anything else you want to prepare?"

"No more, you can go and play." Jiuyao waved his hand.

"Then I'm really going, I'm just going to learn how to embroider double-sided embroidery from sister Xie in the weaving workshop." Xiangyi jumped out of the palace immediately.

Jiuyao returned to the sleeping hall, fell down on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. But as soon as he closed his eyes, Feng Duying's pale and thin figure appeared in his mind, he couldn't feel at ease, he sighed softly, he got up and walked to the window, and when he looked aimlessly, a person suddenly appeared in front of the window, scaring him He took a few steps back suddenly, and when he saw the person clearly, he was neither angry nor reprimanded, and could only inhale to calm his heartbeat.

"Mr. Qing Hui." The man by the window smiled with crooked eyebrows, and his white and delicate face was really pleasing to the eye.

"Hero of Nangong." Jiu Wei almost gritted his teeth and called him.

"Mr. Qing Hui, I am no longer a hero. I will serve as the master's personal bodyguard. You can call me Nangong bodyguard." The handsome young man smiled even more beautifully.

Jiu Wei looked at Nan Gongxiu, who had been replaced by Du Kang and now returned to his old position, and sighed silently.

Thinking back when he was Lord Gu in the imperial capital, he also saw those close guards who silently followed the emperor and the seven generals. Reliable" made Du Kang extremely taciturn, but he never thought that Nan Gongxiu, who came from the same school as Long Tu, Shi Yan, Zhao Kong and others, would be such a person, and Du Kang was even far away from him. .

At the end of July, in the afternoon of that day, he took the medicine from the Imperial Hospital and delivered it to Feng Duying in person, but before he arrived at Fengying Palace, a man suddenly jumped off the roof halfway, blocking his way , Before he could react, the man let out a soft "噫", and then politely said to him, "Is that Qing Huijun? In Xia Nangongxiu, he is currently walking the rivers and lakes to **** the strong, eliminate the tyrants and punish the evil." Hero of Yangshan, you can call me Nangong Hero."

"Nan Gongxiu?" He read the name, recalled that Feng Ji had mentioned it, and couldn't help but look at it.

The person in front of him is a little short for a man, wearing an old dark blue robe, sandals on his feet, carrying a long sword, and his hair is messy. She was born petite, but still has a delicate oval face like a woman's, with curved eyebrows, slender eyes, and a smiling expression. She doesn't look like a person with special skills, but like a playful child who just came out of the mud. return.

"Is the medicine in Qing Huijun's hand intended for the lord? I happen to be going to see her, so I'll take it for you by the way." After the man said, Jiuyao felt the breeze blowing away in front of him, Then he lightened his hand, and when he came back to his senses, Nan Gongxiu was no longer there. If he hadn't seen him again in Fengying Palace later, he would have thought it was a phantom. "

I still remember the first words of those two people when they met:

"Hey, your medicine! Alas, you have fallen to such a state after leaving me, pitiful, pathetic, and lamentable..." One shook his head annoyed and expressed emotion.

"Oh, the cheapskate is back." There was no wave.

Only listening to the conversation between the two, there is no look of master and slave at all, let alone the excitement and joy of reunion after a long absence.

"Qing Huijun." Nan Gongxiu smiled and recalled the thoughts of going far away.

Jiuyao indifferently looked at the humanity in front of him and said, "What's the matter with the Nangong guards?"

"Mr. Qing Hui's little maid has been busy early in the morning. I'm a little curious." Nan Gongxiu was still smiling.

Jiuyao frowned, looking at the person in front of him, there was nothing to be seen on that smiling face, but it suddenly gave off a chill. So he also smiled slightly, but suddenly there was a mountain-like aura in his expression, "In the whole world, she is the only one who can intervene in my affairs."

"Oh?" Nan Gongxiu scratched her head when she heard the words, her brows and eyes seemed to bend deeper, "Well, then I'm not curious." Come on, "What, you're so stingy, don't you think I don't know if your plan is going to work or not? Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, I'll prepare myself..."

Listening for a long time, I felt a little ridiculous for a while, and felt silently in my heart, this Nangong Xiu is really completely different from Du Kang.

Du Kang only had Feng Duying in his eyes, and he was always inseparable, but Nan Gongxiu rarely stayed by Feng Duying's side, and he could often be seen laughing with the maids in the palace, fighting wine and chatting with the guards, Sometimes it was someone who couldn't see him at all, but as long as Feng Duying wanted to find him, he would appear immediately.

Jiu Yao looked at the small figure going away, he was a more terrifying person than Du Kang, all the people and things in the palace could not be concealed from those eyes that smiled like a crescent moon.

Standing for a while, Jiuyao also left Yingshou Palace and walked towards Yingying Pavilion. When I arrived at the Yingying Pavilion, I saw Xu Shi, the prime minister of the country, lying on the desk from the open door far away from a long corridor. When I got closer, the attendant at the door saw that he was about to pass the message, so he raised his hand to stop it. Stepping into the pavilion, Xu Shi was not disturbed, and his mind seemed to be fully focused on the official documents of that case.

Jiuyao didn't call him, walked to the side, picked a chair to sit down, and looked at the layout of the pavilion. This Yingying Hall is the place where the ministers of the court discuss and deal with government affairs. It is also his first time to come here. Compared with the Hanchen Hall where King Qing usually governs, it is slightly smaller and more plainly decorated. Compared with the study of ordinary officials, it is naturally more beautiful. To be more stylish.

Xu Shi finished reading several official documents, and when he looked up to bring the tea on the case, he found Jiuyao's existence, and hurriedly got up, "Mr. Qing Hui is here, forgive the sin, forgive the sin, the minister buried his head and never knew about the official document .”

Jiuyao smiled faintly, got up and said: "The Prime Minister, don't do this, I'm the one who disturbed the Prime Minister's official duties."

The two chattered a few times and sat down relative to each other.

"Mr. Qing Hui is here for something?" Xu Shi said bluntly. He is one of the few people in Qingzhou who knows the identity of the bereaved family of Jiuluo in front of him, so he has sympathy for him and is also wary of him, and the performance of Lord Qing Hui in the rebellion a few days ago made him respect him, and he only felt that the man in front of him was determined. It's not an idler with a calm cloud and a clear sky, but a rare scholar with a beautiful heart. It's a pity... With a silent sigh, I put away all my unfinished thoughts.

"It's nothing important." The faint smile on Jiuyao's face is refreshing, "Just seeing that the Lord has been so thin recently, I want to ask the Prime Minister of the country, but what difficult things in the court have caused the Lord to lose weight?" Do you not think about tea and rice?"

Hearing Jiuyao's question, Xu Shi said: "If you talk about things, there are always things to be busy in the court, but since the rebellion was put down, Qingzhou has returned to peace, and things are just ordinary things."

"Oh?" Jiuyao nodded, "Since it's an ordinary matter, if you think about it, there is a state minister and all the adults around, so there is no need for the Lord to do everything personally."

Xu Shi's heart moved, he stared at the leisurely man opposite him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "My lord was seriously injured a few days ago and has lost her vitality. , All these reasons have caused the jade body to become weak and thin, and it really needs to be recuperated with peace of mind. As for the lock in the court, it is the duty of the ministers and others as ministers."

"That's good." Jiuyao nodded and smiled, "With the help of the Prime Minister and all the adults, Qingzhou will be peaceful and prosperous, and the Lord will be able to rest in peace."

Xu Shi left his seat and bowed solemnly to Jiuyao, "The Lord's Antai is Qingzhou's Antai, please worry about it."

"Both each other." Jiuyao got up.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and then smiled at each other, tacit understanding.

"I'll take my leave first." Jiuyao turned around.

Xu Shi sent Ying Ying Pavilion, "Qing Hui Jun walk slowly."
