Chapter 3 A night tour of the capital with no one to accompany
When she woke up, it was already sunset. Thanks to Xiao Liuyue's consolation, she was able to have a peaceful sleep. Xue Xichen got up, relaxed her neck that was stiff from sleep, looked around, and found that the Golden Phoenix Fox had not returned to the room yet.
, I guess I went out to look for something to eat.
She felt her belly which was so hungry that she was already wet with hunger. It was time for her to go out to find something to eat.
Putting on a thick mink velvet coat, she went out and went to the flower hall in search of the scent. The food had already been prepared in the flower hall, and it was steaming. Apparently it had just been prepared not long ago. Feng Qingge had come back and was talking to Xiao Liuyue. She didn't feel cold.
Jun Yi and Phantom, they probably both went back.
Xue Xichen stepped into the flower hall. Although her movements were light, she still startled Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue. Seeing her, Xiao Liuyue raised her lips and smiled, "Are you awake?"
"Um!"
Xue Xichen came to the table and sniffed the fragrant food vigorously, feeling even hungrier. "Wow - I'm hungry! I just have something to eat!" After saying that, she reached out and opened the lid, looking as if she was hanging three feet high.
Looks like a greedy cat.
Seeing Xue Xichen's greedy look, she was obviously very hungry, Feng Qingge couldn't help laughing. He said, "Xichen, look at your greedy look! I know you are hungry! Eat! We are all waiting for you!"
"Wow - then I'm not welcome!"
Xue Xichen picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork unceremoniously, put it into her mouth, and chewed it deliciously.
Feng Qingge stood up and invited her, "Liuyue, let's have dinner too!"
"Um!"
The two of them walked to the dining table and sat down respectively. Xue Xichen happily gnawed on the pig's trotters and chopped them into large pieces without politeness. He looked like a starving ghost who had been reincarnated. Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue shook their heads at the same time.
.
Xiao Liuyue teased: "Xichen, look at your greedy look. If you didn't know it, you would have thought that we have been abusing you before!"
Xue Xichen had the pig's trotter in her mouth and was too lazy to respond to Xiao Liuyue's teasing. Feng Qingge said, "Xichen, eat slowly! There are still a lot of dishes, no one will compete with you!"
Xiao Liuyue pretended to sigh, "You girl, if you don't eat politely, how will you be able to get married in the future?"
Xue Xichen looked at Xiao Liuyue and resolutely ignored someone. Feng Qingge laughed softly and did not feel that Xue Xichen was not polite in eating, but felt that it was so lively and cute.
"Qingge, you said Feng Longxiang invited me to the palace for a banquet?" Xiao Liuyue said, "There is no good banquet. Feng Longxiang knows that I am close to you, so I guess he is planning something."
Feng Qingge said: "I know you don't want to! However, the emperor's order cannot be violated! This banquet is nominally specially designed for you, and you must attend."
"Of course I will go!"
Even if Feng Qingge didn't say anything, Xiao Liuyue still wanted to find a chance to meet Feng Long Xiang - this insidious man who had caused great harm and pain to Xue Xichen! If given the chance, he would definitely do it without hesitation
Pierce the sword into Fenglong Xiang's heart!
"I also need to go!"
After chewing the pig's trotters, Xue Xichen announced with a murmur, with a force that could not be refused, "I haven't been to the palace yet, Feng Qingge, you want to take me with you!"
"Xichen, do you want to follow too?"
Feng Qingge sighed softly, with a look of helplessness on her face, "Knowing that this is a Dragon Gate banquet and we don't know what will happen at the banquet, you shouldn't join in the fun."
"Why not? It's precisely because of the Dragon Gate Banquet that I want to go!"
Xue Xichen answered without hesitation, "Feng Qingge, you know that objection is useless! Even if you object, I will find a way to follow! You don't want me to cause trouble, right?"
Threaten him?!
However, Feng Qingge admitted that this girl would do anything to achieve her goal. To prevent her from causing trouble, it would be safer to keep her under his nose.
"Okay! I'll take you into the palace. But you can't run around or talk nonsense!"
The palace is different from other places. It's okay to be rude to him on weekdays. He indulges her, but if she contradicts Fenglong Xiang, it can't be solved by beating her!
"rest assured!"
After countless confrontations with Feng Longxiang, how could she not know Feng Longxiang's temperament and be cautious? She nodded in agreement, "Don't worry! I will be a good lady and I will never embarrass you by talking nonsense!"
"
Ladylike?
Feng Qingge looked Xue Xichen up and down, but she really couldn't tell the words "every lady" from her indecent appearance.
Xue Xichen glared, rolled her eyes at each other, raised her eyebrows and asked: Do you have any objections?
Don't dare! Don't dare!
Feng Qingge shook her head with a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, and answered silently: Of course I don't dare to have any objections!
snort!
Xue Xichen smiled with satisfaction: That’s pretty much it!
…
After eating, drinking, and resting enough, Xue Xichen decided to go for a walk and take in the night view of the capital.
Because Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue had to discuss important matters, they did not accompany them. According to Feng Qingge, Leng Junyi returned to the General's Mansion, and Phantom was sent by him to perform a new mission. Xue Xichen said
She doesn't need anyone to accompany her. She can walk around by herself without causing trouble.
Feng Qingge seemed uneasy, but Xue Xichen pushed her into the study and forcibly closed the door, leaving him and Xiao Liuyue alone while she went out happily.
Thinking of her traveling alone in the world and needing someone to accompany her at all times, Feng Qingge almost took care of her like a three-year-old child, she was a bit nervous!
Wandering leisurely in the streets and alleys of the capital, this was once the hometown where she was born and raised, but it did not leave any feelings for her. Although the capital was prosperous, the people were indifferent. There were no feelings here, only countless conspiracies and calculations.
Exploit ruthlessly.
Xue Xichen strolled along the street, occasionally going to small stalls to taste delicious food. The night market in the capital was extremely bustling and noisy, gathering vendors from all over the country. The streets were filled with people, and there were a dazzling array of rouge, gouache, jewelry, and buskers from all over the world performing various performances.
The juggling is dizzying.
Xue Xichen stopped in front of an old man's stall selling calligraphy and paintings. He picked up a book and flipped through it. He looked up and saw several pieces of red paper hanging on the stall, with different riddles written on them. Xue Xichen couldn't help but pay attention with interest.
Look, the old man guarding the stall smiled and said: "If you are interested, girl, you might as well take a guess."
There were two or three scholar-looking men nearby who were meditating on the riddle paper. Xue Xichen asked curiously: "Old man, if I guess the answer to this riddle, what prize will I get?"
The old man replied: "Any girl can choose from the books in my stall."
Xue Xichen glanced around and saw that there were such popular novels as "The Secret of Mountains and Seas", "The Red Sleeves of the Spring Boudoir", "Qingzhai Zhi", "Wind and Dust Tribulation", "Where is the Wick", etc., which were simply not possible in a regular government-run academy.
After buying it, it is no wonder that it attracted these sanctimonious scholars to stop.
"Are these books expensive?"
Why don't you buy it, but think hard here? Are these talented people short of money?
"Girl, these books are not for sale."
"Not selling? Just giving away?"
Xue Xichen seemed to understand the reason why these scholars stopped here.
This old man is really interesting. He does not sell books at his bookstall. As long as she can guess his puzzles, he is willing to give away books for free. So, let her see how difficult these puzzles are!
