The singing stopped and the flute sound stopped. There was silence and tranquility everywhere. Everyone was immersed in the sad and beautiful singing. They savored the faint loneliness and sorrow in the flute sound. They did not come back to their senses for a long time.
"good."
Leng Junyi was the first to applaud, followed by thunderous applause, all given to Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge, who worked in perfect harmony.
Xue Xichen greeted everyone with a smile.
"Queen, do you want to drink."
Feng Qingge's sudden question attracted Xue Xichen's strange side glance.
"I don't understand what the emperor means."
"Queen, come with me."
Feng Qingge stood up and left the table without saying anything. Xue Xichen looked confused and followed Feng Qingge. Leng Qiuluo was the only one left behind who had a jealous look on her face. Xiao Liuyue's face was deep in thought.
…
Followed Feng Qingge into the Qianqing Palace. Feng Qingge waved away the guards and eunuchs who were staying outside the door, and sent away all the maids in the palace. Xue Xichen watched with strange eyes as Feng Qingge dismissed them in just a few minutes. Everyone in the Qianqing Palace didn't know what Feng Qingge wanted to do.
"Tongtong. I remember that you liked Phantom Brew's 'Wangqing' very much."
Indeed, she likes Phantom's "forgetfulness"...the rich and mellow taste of wine and its strong stamina. It used to be her favorite.
"Tongtong. I recently brewed a new wine. Do you want to try it?"
Can Feng Qingge also make wine? Obviously, this answer is something Xue Xichen has never thought of. She has known Feng Qingge for so many years, but she has never heard that Feng Qingge can make wine.
"Of course. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Call me 'Qingge'."
Xue Xichen pondered and breathed out softly, "Qingge..."
Feng Qingge showed a satisfied smile. It was as if her soft and cowardly "Qingge" made him feel unprecedentedly satisfied. He said, "Tongtong, you wait here. I'll be back as soon as I go."
"good."
Xue Xichen walked straight into the courtyard pavilion and sat down, waiting quietly for Feng Qingge to return.
Not long after, Feng Qingge came back, holding a wine jar in her hand.
The wine jar was put down on the stone table and the mud seal was opened. The fragrant aroma of wine came to his nostrils. Xue Xichen's nose twitched and she couldn't help but reveal a weary expression.
“It smells so good.”
Feng Qingge poured a bowl and handed it to Xue Xichen.
Xue Xichen took the wine, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good wine. Really good wine."
She loved the sweet smell of the wine and the slightly intoxicating feeling when it hit her nose. The lingering aftertaste lingered on the tip of her tongue for a long time. It was like a deep passionate kiss between lovers, leaving people wanting more.
"What's the name of this wine?"
"This wine has no name."
Xue Xichen felt pity. "How could such a good wine not have a name?"
Feng Qingge smiled. "How about Tongtong give it a name."
"Um……"
Xue Xichen pondered and touched her chin leisurely. "The aroma of the wine is rich. It leaves an aftertaste on the lips and teeth. It has full staying power. The sweet taste is like a passionate kiss between lovers... Why don't we just call it 'Yi Qing'."
Recalling love...
"good……"
Feng Qingge sat down at the stone table and quietly poured wine for Xue Xichen.
Deep in the inner garden of the palace, the night is silent. Even though the lights are brightly lit, the dormitory of Nuo Da is still very cold.
Xue Xichen looked back at Feng Qingge. She found that Feng Qingge had changed out of the bright yellow robe she wore during the day and put on a voluptuous red shirt. The gorgeous red color was peerless in elegance. The gorgeous luster was like a bright red wedding dress. His charming and uninhibited charm once made her deeply fascinated and intoxicated.
She has seen many people wearing red clothes, but no one has ever been able to wear his temperament. Unrivaled elegance and a charming smile. Only he can match such a gorgeous and evil color; only he can. Showing off such charming and unparalleled style.
As expected, the color that suits him best is red.
"Tongtong. Do you like it here?"
The strong alcohol was slightly smoked and her cheeks were slightly warm. Xue Xichen supported her chin with one hand and leaned lazily on the stone table. She looked at Feng Qingge with her half-narrowed eyes. There was a charming smile on her lips that was intoxicating. Meaning. "Don't like."
"Why."
"There is always no sense of security in a place that is too big. Even if the most powerful person in the world lives here, the bright yellow light makes it even more difficult to sleep."
"So. You don't like it here."
"Only those who have lived in this place can understand the coldness of this place. There is no human touch at all in this place. No amount of gorgeousness and exquisiteness can hide the coldness in my heart."
"Tongtong. You are right."
The longing he once had, but only after he actually moved in, he suddenly realized that everything he had now was not what he wanted at all.
What he wants is the free world; what he wants is the lush years of indulgence in the battlefield; what he is tired of is the sweet warmth of her company by his side; what he misses is to compete side by side with her. happy life.
Now, if there is still a chance...
"Qingge. Do you know why I like strong drinks?"
Feng Qingge slowly shook her head.
"Although the palace is a place where the world's fine wines gather, the wine here is too exquisite. Fragrant and fragrant. It is neither strong nor dry, and the aroma is light and elegant. It gives people the feeling..." She smiled softly. "It's like coming from a workshop. Miss, after being deliberately prepared by the winemaker, it has lost the original taste of the wine..."
"Tongtong..."
From her faint words, he seemed to have touched her heart.
"The so-called effect of wine is the burning feeling on the tip of the tongue at the moment of entry. It burns until it reaches the stomach, and then slowly merges with the blood. It makes people feel soothed when they are slightly tipsy. No matter how much you drink, you must let yourself go. She can enjoy the pleasure of being half-drunk while still being sober and not being eroded. Although the royal wine in the palace is beautiful, it is a pity that it does not have that kind of vigor and cannot evoke the pleasure of conquering people." She lay lazily on the stone table. Go up. He chuckled and said, "Although the royal wine is good, it is too refined. Instead, it loses the original game flavor."
Her words made Feng Qingge smile happily.
She is still her. Her appearance can change, her voice can change, but her unruly temperament cannot be changed at all.
He nodded in agreement and stared at her deeply. "It's like a woman who dresses too brightly and loses her true nature."
His words made her laugh out loud.
"Most men in the world want to see women dressed up beautifully, behaving elegantly, and singing songs. I'm afraid it will break the hearts of women all over the world when I hear your comments like this."
"What does their sorrow have to do with me?"
All he thinks about is only one person from beginning to end.
Xue Xichen blamed half-truthfully: "Qingge... you are such a waste of natural resources..."
His bright eyes met Xue Xichen's half-drunk ones. Their eyes were focused, intense and affectionate. He smiled and asked, "Don't you also like to waste natural resources?"
"It seems like we are in the same boat."
Xue Xichen laughed loudly. She was so gaffe-like. It seemed that she was really drunk.
