MTL - Evolved From Polluting the World-Chapter 85 Where the galaxy hangs high, the silver man is brilliant
The drink thing is coming to an end.
Most of the people in the field were scattered, and they no longer had the mind to fight wine.
After a while, Lan Zhiwei felt more and more confident even though his stomach was swollen and he felt that it was full of water when he shook it. Right now, he just wanted to know how Qiao Xun turned wine into water. His curiosity almost matched that of a child's curiosity about the sky.
But, hold on.
Can't ask. I have to wait for Mr. Kokawa to say it himself. Lan Zhiwei thinks so. Don't be presumptuous when Mr. Zuo Chuan doesn't really offer to help him.
Qiao Xun's eyes were a little distant. His gaze, through the sidebar, crossed the outside pavilion, and looked further afield.
On a summer night, the stars hang high.
He didn't have any opinion on the open and secret fights at the banquet. Partisan power struggles in secular dynasties.
Even if you don't use the power of insight of the transcendent level, you can easily see through them with the ability below the transcendent level. Therefore, this kind of struggle is not attractive to Qiao Xun. In short, the stimulation fell below his emotional threshold.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that if he kept himself in such a boring power struggle all day long, he would probably lose his temper before re-acquainting himself. With all the skills, he cares about this and that with a group of mortals who don't have much special skills, and it is no different from fighting between adults and children. If you win, there is no sense of honor, and if you lose, you have to fall into a vortex of self-doubt.
Tonight's banquet made him confirm this again.
A proper distance must be maintained.
The various performances at the Wenqu Festival have been carried out to the point of incomparable vulgarity.
In an ancient dynasty, performative gaudy... nothing more than eroticism. Just looking at the pavilion, there was a very coquettishly dressed beauty dancing a coquettish dance.
Exposing a piece of meat, throwing a wink, hooked people's index fingers, and their minds fluttered. Especially now, everyone has been drinking for three times, and they are full and full, and the matter of **** is fermenting in the heart. At this moment, these flamboyant performances are the sparks, igniting the dry wood in people's hearts, crackling and burning their faces red.
In this wing of the third prince, Lan Zhimao, there are many young princes. Young people, the fire is very hot.
After a few times, it was a little uncomfortable.
Someone suggested,
"Third Highness, it's really boring just for us men to watch here. We have talented people and beautiful women, so romantic and charming. Why don't you call some beautiful women who can read a few poems and sing a few songs, It’s okay to recite poetry and compose, or play the qin and play music. It’s always fun.”
When Lan Zhimao heard this, he said strangely:
"Stinky boy, the Fourteenth Princess is sitting in this wing. How could you say such a thing?"
That person hurriedly apologized, and apologized to Lan Zhimao again, and apologized to the Fourteenth Princess Lan Yuedong.
Lan Zhimao's tone was blaming, but in fact, he didn't say much, and he didn't even let the proposer drink a glass of fine wine.
This is the case on the surface, but secretly... Lan Zhimao said this, not the person who denied the proposal, but only said that the Fourteenth Princess was here, and he had to avoid suspicion. The implication... It was the Fourteenth Princess Lan Yuedong, who disturbed everyone's interest.
Lan Yuedong was young and a female class, so naturally no one would blame her.
But... Lan Zhiwei, her elder brother, has to suffer this disappointment for her. After all, she's your Lanzhiwei's sister, so it's your responsibility.
It's common, and there is a look in the eyes, and he glanced at Lan Zhiwei.
The atmosphere gradually became strange.
Lan Zhiwei's ability to observe words and expressions is not small, and soon realizes that his good third brother has buried a hole for him again.
Don't fall for the name of disappointment.
Lan Zhiwei is very aware of his current situation. He has just returned to Tianyun, and it is the time to start the team. All the people at this banquet were not just wine bags and rice bags. They were all the children of the current imperial family, or young officials. They could be said to be young talents and the future imperial team of Da Zhou. You can not win over, but you can't make excuses, so as not to ask them to talk nonsense later and affect their reputation.
He coughed and said:
"Moonwinter."
The fourteenth princess Lan Yuedong almost fell asleep beside her. She had a big heart and didn't understand that the atmosphere in this wing had changed several times. It's like a child playing around with adults at a party.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lan Yuedong asked.
Lan Zhiwei said,
"You're all sleepy, go back first, don't let the mother-in-law worry."
When Lan Yuedong heard this, she wanted to send herself away, so she plausibly said,
"When I came out today, I told the mother-in-law that I had to take you back. The mother-in-law also allowed it!"
"How could the mother-in-law allow you to come to such a place?"
"Of course I didn't tell my concubine that I would come to such a place. Besides, the third brother also assured my concubine that he would protect my safety."
Lan Zhiwei paused and looked at Lan Zhimao.
Lan Zhimao smiled and said nothing.
Lan Zhiwei immediately cried out in his heart, "My silly girl, you were used as a gun and didn't know it!"
If it was normal, he would be able to explain to Lan Yuedong what was going on here. But not now, in front of so many people, he was completely unable to lift the ambiguous curtain.
He added:
"Then you go to my wing and sleep for a while. I'm done here, and then I'll go to you. It's so noisy here, and you can't sleep either."
"I didn't sleep!" Lan Yuedong's chatterbox was obviously no longer with Lan Zhiwei, "I'm watching you carefully! You must be the same as three years ago, taking the opportunity to push me away, and then be alone. go away!"
"..." Lan Zhiwei's face darkened.
But he knew that he had to be patient. You can't get a reputation for not being able to discipline even your own sister.
"I'll explain those things to you. For now, go and wait."
Lan Yuedong looked at Lan Zhimao.
Lan Zhimao nodded slightly.
So, Lan Yuedong said firmly:
"I'm going to stay here."
Lan Zhiwei noticed the eye contact between the two. He suddenly understood in his heart that the good third brother must have had some sloppy eyes with his silly girl.
He was very upset, even a little angry.
In his opinion, the third brother's act of making decisions on people who are not concerned with the struggle is shameful and trampling on the bottom line of the power struggle.
But now there is some helplessness.
Tonight, when he came to this Wenqu meeting, he was mentally prepared to rush to the Hongmen Banquet, but he didn't expect that the third brother would be so shameless that he brought the old fourteen as a bargaining chip.
He looked at Lan Zhimao coldly,
"Third brother, is this..."
Lan Zhimao smiled slightly,
"Sixth brother, if you have something to say, please explain it clearly."
Of course it can't be explained. The grievances under the table cannot be put on the table, which seems stingy and incompetent.
He exhaled and could only turn to Qiao Xun for help.
Lan Zhiwei turned his head slightly and glanced at Qiao Xun.
Qiao Xun understood and nodded lightly. Then, he looked at Lan Yuedong and said softly:
"Princess Fourteen, the Sixth Highness knows that you will be here tonight, and has already prepared gifts for you. One is the gift of apology for leaving without saying goodbye three years ago, the second is the gift of farewell that you haven't seen in three years, and the third is the gift of compatriots who are deeply affectionate brothers and sisters. present."
Lan Yuedong raised her eyebrows,
"Sixth brother will prepare a present for me?"
"Of course. After all, no brother cares more about you."
"What is it?"
"The gift is very special, and it is inconvenient to move. It has been prepared in the wing of His Royal Highness, and I want to give you a surprise."
"surprise?"
"Yes, in the past three years, how much you miss the Sixth Highness, the surprise will be great."
Lan Yuedong swallowed his saliva, gradually becoming impatient.
Qiao Xun continued to persuade,
"Want to see it?"
"Will Brother Six really think about me?"
Lan Zhiwei said,
"Of course! You are my sister, I don't think about you, for whom?"
Said this, although the tone is very strong. But I really don't have much confidence. The reason is that he did not prepare any gifts at all. I came back in a hurry, and there is no time to think about this.
Qiao Xun asked with a smile,
"Want to come with me to see?"
"Yes!" Lan Yuedong stood up suddenly, very impatient.
Lan Zhimao frowned slightly, then loosened his brows and smiled,
"Hey, we also really want to see what mysterious gift Lao Liu has prepared for Lao Shi. It would be nice for everyone to have a good time together."
He didn't think Lan Zhiwei really prepared any gifts. This is clearly a temporary solution.
Qiao Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile,
"If you all want to see the heart of the Sixth Highness's beloved sister, then go together."
Saying that, he got up and walked out.
Lan Yuedong followed closely behind, her footsteps were too brisk.
In the back, Lan Zhimao looked at Lan Zhiwei deeply and said:
"Sixth brother, I hope you really have the heart of loving a younger sister. It's okay to play with us, and the pure heart of the fourteenth, but it's not good."
Lan Zhiwei sneered in his heart, are you worthy of saying "pure heart"? The only little bit of simplicity left by the fourteenth old is for you to use up.
At the same time, he was sweating in his heart. I hope that Mr. Zuo Chuan did not mention it casually.
A group of distinguished people went out and walked towards the other wing.
In the corridor, the rest of the people looked sideways.
On the way, Qiao Xun smiled and asked:
"What does Princess Fourteen usually like?"
"I..." Lan Yuedong looked at her head, "I like to watch the stars. Life in the palace is quite boring, only watching the stars."
"I think it's the same."
"you know?"
"His Royal Highness has always told me about it."
"Sixth brother would still say this to others?"
"If the younger sister is a very good child, then it is normal for the elder brother to show off to others."
"Oh...that's it." Lan Yuedong was very happy to hear this.
She didn't know what she was happy about, but she was happy.
Qiao Xun pushed aside the wing that he had just come to. Except for some delicacies of melons and fruits, it was empty.
Lan Yuedong raised her eyebrows,
"Isn't it nothing?"
Behind, a group of people also walked in.
Looking at this really ordinary room, I questioned.
"What about gifts? What about surprises?"
Qiao Xun smiled slightly,
"Don't worry, everyone, surprise, the gift is not for you, but for the fourteenth princess. Don't worry."
This is a bit of a slap in the face.
It is reminiscent of the emperor who is not in a hurry and the **** is in a hurry. Although not so exaggerated.
Joe patrolled to the middle of the room and said softly:
"His Royal Highness has always known that his sister likes to watch the stars. The sea of stars hangs high, and the silver man is overflowing. Even if he is in a foreign land, His Royal Highness often misses it. He often tells me that although I am not in the same place as her, I can Looking at the same starry sky, I just hope that the stars in the sky will take my thoughts away and fall into her eyes."
Qiao Xun's tone was gentle, and with these words, he vaguely created an emotional atmosphere.
A girl like Lan Yuedong is especially susceptible to infection. After getting down, she looked at Lan Zhiwei with flickering eyes.
Lan Zhiwei smiled and felt ashamed. I thought to myself, Mr. Zuo Chuan, you can really... make up.
Qiao Xun continued,
"On the mountains in the south, the night sky is clear, and the forests are deep and the mountains are a good place to watch the stars. The Sixth Highness thought that if he could go anywhere, he would pluck the stars from the sky and bring them to the Fourteenth Princess. How wonderful. The technique of picking stars exists in the world, but it is hard to find. So, His Royal Highness has come up with a way to pick the stars from the sky."
"What way?" Lan Yuedong asked.
Qiao Xun slightly tapped the table with his fingers.
Like the surface of the lake in the middle of the night, the ripples are turning.
A softness spread in the wing room.
Then, a little star twinkled;
two o'clock,
three o'clock
...
Countless starlights flickered one after another, reflecting on the walls of the wing room, through the doors and windows, to the outside.
Immediately, the bright starry sky spread out in the wing room and spread to the entire east building.
For a time, everyone in the East Building seemed to be in the splendid land of Yinhan.
Everything around you, looking at...
Incredibly beautiful.
Just call people, linger.
Lan Yuedong, a person who likes to watch stars, was stunned. My heart burst out with countless emotions, and I was so excited that I was about to cry.
Qiao Xun looked at her and asked with a smile:
"Princess Fourteen, are you satisfied with the gift that the Sixth Highness has prepared for you?"
"Satisfied, satisfied! I'm... so happy, I..." Lan Yuedong was so excited that he was incoherent.
Lan Yuedong's emotion is the excitement after the outbreak of love.
Lan Zhiwei's emotion is, shock, shock again. He knew that Mr. Zuo Chuan was unfathomable, but he never thought that he could easily and quickly display such power. This... what kind of Taoism is it? It's the legendary fairy art!
The emotion of Lan Zhimao and the others is unbelievable.
They couldn't figure it out, Lan Zhiwei really prepared such a big gift? Moreover, this gift is too exaggerated, it is no longer something that can be done by ordinary means! Could it be that Lan Zhiwei went out for the past three years, not to avoid the political reckoning, but to learn from scriptures and practice?
Lan Zhimao couldn't help but ask,
"how did you do that?"
Qiao Xun laughed,
"His Royal Highness's fiery love."
Lan Yuedong was so excited that she grabbed Lan Zhiwei's cuff,
"Sixth brother, I knew you cared about me! I like this gift very much, especially!"
Lan Zhi smiled,
"nice! You love it."
But he felt a little uncomfortable. I am a big brother, but I have to know through outsiders that my sister likes to watch the stars...
This grand ceremony of Yinhan made everything after the Wenqu Festival seem so vulgar and boring.
For those who don't know the reason, they thought this was the finale program prepared by the East Building Wenqu Club, and they were still applauding for the East Building.
Lan Zhimao deeply knew that his plans for tonight were completely lost, and it would be meaningless to join the banquet table again.
"Sword Comes"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two princes who are in the political vortex tonight are the sixth prince, Lan Zhiwei.
Naturally, at the previous banquet, in addition to the guests of the Third Prince, all of them had to come and greet Lan Zhiwei.
This kind of greeting, whether it is fake or not, is what Lan Zhiwei calculated in his heart.
The first thing Lan Zhiwei did when he returned to the Imperial Capital of Heaven was to regain his footing. The night is over, and it's done.
After a few courtesies, Lan Zhiwei looked for Qiao Xun everywhere.
When he found it, Qiao Xun was standing in the Wangfeng balcony.
He led his sister Lan Yuedong over there,
"Mr. Gochuan."
Qiao Xun turned around,
"Well, is your sixth prince okay? I drank a lot of water tonight."
Lan Zhiwei said,
"It's just a matter of bloating. It's okay. Mr. Zuochuan, you don't have to be so respectful. I'll ask you to be called 'Young Master' immediately as before."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's just a name."
"Then follow Mr. Zuochuan." Lan Zhiwei continued: "I haven't officially introduced it yet. Ahem, this is my sister, named Lan Yuedong, who is ranked fourteenth in the ranking of princesses. Don't dislike it, call her fourteen."
Lan Yuedong was a little confused.
What is "if you don't dislike it", I am also a princess, the daughter of the current Holy Emperor...
Lan Zhiwei tugged Lan Yuedong's sleeves,
"Yuedong, say hello."
Joe brushes his hands,
"You don't have to be so particular about it."
After speaking, he turned his head and looked into the distance again.
Lan Zhiwei felt Qiao Xun's attitude, and felt a little pity in his heart. He intends to let Lan Yuedong and Mr. Zuo Chuan get along well, and maybe they can achieve a closer relationship. But Qiao Xun's attitude... was very clear.
He also knew that someone like this kind of expert often failed the first time, so it was difficult to say it the second time. All I can say is that my girl doesn't have that fate anymore.
Lan Yuedong doesn't know what position Qiao Xun holds in Lan Zhiwei's heart, but she just thinks that she is a princess anyway, doesn't she even have the right to say hello to you?
She is a somewhat competitive person, grabbing Qiao Xun's arm, dragging him over, facing herself again, and then smiling,
"Hello, my name is Lan Yuedong, I'm the twenty-first among all the children in the family, and the fourteenth among my sisters! I'm not married yet, so I don't have a title!"
Qiao Xun was stunned, then nodded,
"Oh."
"Oh? Oh? Oh?!" Three oh, one heavier than the other. The unbelievable tone in her tone was more obvious than the expression on her face.
"Fourteen, don't be rude!"
Lan Yuedong said unconvinced,
"He's rude! Even if I'm not a princess, I'm still a girl. How can a man treat a girl like this!"
"fourteen!"
Lan Zhiwei was afraid that his stupid sister was ignorant~www.novelbuddy.com~ annoyed Qiao Xun, so he had to teach her a lesson.
However, Qiao Xun smiled slightly, and between turning his hands, a crystal clear gem landed in the palm of his hand.
"This is given to you as my gift of apology."
Gluttony is about the size of a male fist. Round and cool. But its focus is on the inside. Inside the gem, there is a miniature version of the starry sky.
Lan Yuedong was attracted all of a sudden, her eyes flickered and she couldn't return to her senses. She took it in a daze, and instinctively whispered:
"Thank you, thank you..."
"You're welcome."
Lan Yuedong only heard this sentence, and fell deeply into this starry sky gem.
After she didn't know how long she looked at it, when she came back to her senses, she looked at it. My brother and the rude gentleman are gone.
Only Gongshanzi Youhou was beside her.
"where are they?"
Gongshan Ziyou said:
"After Mr. Zuochuan gave you this thing, he walked away. The sixth prince went to find him."
"My brother went to him personally?"
Gongshan Ziyou coughed and said euphemistically:
"Princess Fourteen. His Highness the Sixth is very concerned about Mr. Zochuan. Mr. Zochuan is a... high-ranking person, and he is actually very easy to get along with, not an impolite person. Maybe it is because he doesn't like the atmosphere of tonight's banquet, he is a little neglectful of etiquette. Now. Your sixth highness doesn't want you to have any trouble with Mr. Zuo Chuan. I hope the princess will understand."
Lan Yuedong stared blankly at the starry sky gem in her hand,
"I also think that people who can do this kind of thing are not rude people. So, do I have to apologize?"
Gongshan Ziyou said,
"Then it's up to the princess' own thoughts."
Lan Yuedong pursed her lips, starlight reflected in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that the starry sky in this stone was even more beautiful than the starry sky just now.
