She lowered her eyes and said lightly. She stood up and wanted to leave.
Feng Qingge held Xue Xichen's hand and looked at her indifferent and distant back. Pain surged through her heart. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said to her: "Tongtong, you said, we
If you don’t get drunk tonight, you won’t get home.”
Xue Xichen curled her lips and laughed at herself: "The king will not go to court. I dare to say it, but I dare not actually do it... Otherwise, I am afraid that tomorrow I will be burdened with the eternal infamy of King Fox Charming. Your ministers will be the first to not do it."
Will let me go."
Feng Qingge asked half-seriously, "Are you afraid?"
Xue Xichen was lost in thought and smiled softly. "Yes...am I afraid..."
Will she be afraid? She is not even afraid of death. She will also be afraid of being infamed throughout the ages.
No. Of course she won't be afraid.
Feng Qingge enthusiastically suggested, "Tongtong, tomorrow, how about we go for an outing in the countryside."
Xue Xichen frowned. "You really don't plan to go to court in the morning."
"Why not?" Feng Qingge replied calmly. "I've long been bored of going to court every day. Occasionally taking a day or two off is nothing."
"Where's the memorial?"
"Biqing and Liuyue are here, Qingfei is here. They will help me deal with it."
Xue Xichen's violet eyes were covered with a strange color. She muttered strangely, "Feng Biqing and Xiao Liuyue... you really do favor them..."
"Why don't you believe it? One of them is my sixth brother, and the other is my close friend. Don't trust people if you doubt them. Don't trust people when you employ people. Of course I can trust them."
"Yeah."
Xue Xichen chuckled, with a sarcastic expression on her lips.
Feng Qingge, because of your blind trust, you didn’t even know you were betrayed by the person closest to you in the end.
"good."
He wanted to indulge. She just wanted to accompany him. Anyway, Xuemei Tong never had a good reputation. She didn't mind if her reputation was worse.
"It's just the two of us."
"It's just the two of us."
Xue Xichen agreed and made Feng Qingge smile happily. He held Xue Xichen's hand and said excitedly: "Tongtong, please wait a moment. I will make you a beggar chicken right now."
Xue Xichen instantly turned to stone.
Feng Qingge...he took it seriously...
As for Xue Xichen, she actually saw Feng Qingge squatting on the ground beside the small garden, digging a hole. She saw him throw the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves into the hole and bury it carefully. Then the bonfire, which was clearly extinguished, started to burn.
It gradually burns and gets bigger.
Xue Xichen instantly felt like she was being choked. If it weren't for the gorgeous clothes on Feng Qingge's body that brought her back to her senses, she would really have felt like she was in the harsh years of the battlefield at this moment.
What is the highest level of luxury?
It's not a feast of fish and meat in a shabby house. It's not a feast of delicacies in a gorgeous room. It's about sitting in the most noble and splendid place in the world and eating beggar's chicken. It's the most noble person in the world who bakes it for her.
"The chicken you caught in the imperial garden..."
She spoke with almost no hope. Based on her impression of him, she always felt a shudder of disillusionment.
"certainly."
He grinned at her. His beautiful white teeth sparkled in the moonlight. "There are no living creatures in the imperial kitchen. It's so late at night. I can only go to the imperial garden to catch them."
"That is to say..." Xue Xichen was confused in the wind. "This chicken is the 'Emerald Guinea Fowl' raised in the Imperial Garden as a tribute from the Western Regions. It is said that this chicken is a descendant of the Phoenix. It is so rare that it is hard to find it. In the Imperial Garden
There are only five or six inside..."
"Chickens are raised just for people to eat." Feng Qingge didn't care. He blew the flames professionally. The small bonfire suddenly became brighter. Sparks were flying everywhere. "Chickens that can't be eaten" What are you raising for?"
Xue Xichen stared blankly at the bright fire on the ground. Just now she was thinking about what the highest level of her father was. Now it seems that sitting in the garden in front of the emperor's palace and eating beggar's chicken is not luxurious at all. It is not luxurious at all. This chicken is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
"Lotus leaf..."
She suddenly remembered something.
Feng Qingge replied casually while fiddling with the bonfire, "It was pulled from the pool."
pool……
Xue Xichen was in a mess again.
She couldn't help but look far away. The lotus pond in the Imperial Garden reflected the bright moonlight, shimmering with bright silver light.
"That must be the imperial lotus that was paid tribute to the Southern Tang Dynasty." She stared at the lotus blossoming quietly on the water. "The lotus leaves of the imperial lotus are very big. A child can sit on them. The flowers bloom with great momentum. They are as domineering as an emperor. Come here. Hence the name. The palace has been cultivating it for many years and only managed to support seven or eight plants..."
Feng Qingge answered straightforwardly without any regrets. "It's quite big. It's convenient to wrap the chicken. It will definitely not leak out."
Xue Xichen was speechless.
"Tomorrow, the gardener in the imperial garden will definitely cry..."
She expressed her deep sympathy for the gardeners who tended the imperial garden.
Feng Qingge didn't take it seriously. "It's just a few lotus leaves. If you pick them, they will grow back naturally."
Could she say that Feng Qingge had amassed all the natural things? Or could she say that Feng Qingge didn't know how to appreciate them? But Xue Xichen felt that even she, an ordinary commoner, understood the preciousness of these flowers. How could Feng Qingge, a prince, be able to do that? I don’t know. It’s not that he doesn’t know. He just disdains this kind of luxury. He doesn’t disdain this kind of preciousness. His childish behavior just reflects his inner irritability. He is looking for the freedom and ease of the past.
Feng Qingge...he is actually a person who hates restraint.
She and he are actually very similar to a certain extent.
Feng Qingge opened the lotus leaf bag and tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xue Xichen. "Tongtong. Eat it while it's hot."
Xue Xichen took it and picked up the wine jar by the way. "Drinking wine and eating meat is one of the great pleasures in life. Especially with delicious food in hand and good wine in your throat. There is nothing happier in the world than this." She laughed.
She was free and uninhibited. She was bold and flamboyant. She had no reserve of women at all. She was as rude as a man. But she attracted his attention and made him unable to leave her.
What he loved was this tone in her body.
What he loves is such a woman who is active and calm, who can not only share the prosperity of the world with him, but also overcome the difficulties of life with him.
She is who she is.
It has never changed.
But. How come he didn’t find out until now...
"I like it. There are many more."
Concentrate your mind, show your brightest smile, and give her gentle instructions.
She enjoyed the fine wine and food, with a smile on her face. "It's so delicious. If you lose your job in the future, you can open a restaurant instead."
Feng Qingge chuckled and said, "Are you in charge of the accounts?"
With eyes hazy from drunkenness, Xue Xichen responded with a smile. "Okay. I will take care of the accounts. You will do the cooking. Let's open a restaurant. Let's call it... a restaurant."
"There is a restaurant." Feng Qingge was amused by the name. "It is indeed a good name. If we open a restaurant in the future, it will be called 'Youjian Restaurant'."
"What a good name. You know, my vision is the best..."
Good wine and delicious food. A cozy bonfire. Under the bright moon and stars. There is laughter and laughter all over the place.
