Chapter 94 – This World, This Woman!

Fan Xian’s head ached a little, and a pair of warm, soft hands reached over, gently pressing on his temples and rubbing them. His heart was slightly startled, but his eyes remained closed and didn’t open as he spoke, “Where is this?”

Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much wine, so his voice seemed a bit dry, and then he felt one of the hands at the corner of his forehead leave, and a few moments later, a cup was carefully handed to his mouth. He tasted it and found that it was honey of the right consistency, the perfect amount to detoxify the alcohol, and he couldn’t help but smile.

He believed that Haitang would not poison herself, as that would not do her any good. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from around him, this fragrance was extremely elegant, but it made his heart swirl, and a wave of heat rose up from the small of his back, directly messing with his mind.

So the scent came closer, softly leaning against the back of his head, the flirtatious body collision made the fire in Fan Xian’s heart burn really hard.

Fan Xian snapped his eyes open, and inside his eyes there was a lingering bit of lust in a piece of serenity, looking at the pair of alabaster veined wrists in front of him, looking at the pair of pale green colored sleeves, and said, “Lili?”

Si Li Li turned over, body a soft fell in his arms, eyes soft incomparable looking at him, more than a trace of expectation, more than a trace of resentment.

The two of them traveled all the way to the north, this is just short of that layer of paper has not been broken, Fan Xian anger at that familiar woman’s body odor, can not help but a burst of trance. After coming to the capital, he just occasionally saw her side in the temple, has long decided not to have too much with this woman on the male and female relationship, but this time the warm jade re-invested in the embrace, the kind of familiar and soft touch and his chest and abdomen non-stop rubbing ……

Just now, he was still drinking with Haitang, but now he was making out with Siriri.

Fan Xian of course understands what is going on, but some do not understand – not I do not understand, the world is changing fast.

Early summer in the capital city, not the wind is hot, not the rain is dusty, really can not be called a good time of day. Fortunately at this time the day is already late, light night wind swept through, so that the small temple around the building from the day in the baking in the relief, sparse branches hanging in the temple roof eaves, a large round bright moon reflected in the back of the distant but look at the background of the night sky but also very close.

Fan Xian fastened the waistband of his pants and ran out of it like a lecher, his clear face covered with a sense of unbelievable absurdity.

When he got to the temple entrance, he looked back with a huff, looked at the woman sitting in the full moon on the temple roof, and cursed bitterly, “You’re just like your master, you’re all psychotic ah you!”

Fan Xian has always liked to disguise himself, slightly shy, sweet, naive, although the crowd does not believe but still pure …… but this day stumbled upon this heavenly absurdity, the heart and shocked and angry, finally broke out and cursed.

Haitang squatted on the roof of the house, like a babysitter watching the children fall in love, the flower cloth scarf was not tied on the head, but tied on the neck, looking like a captain in a certain world. She also didn’t seem to expect Fan Xian to wake up so quickly, her face was full of surprise, but her eyes flashed with a very faint hint of shyness and laughter, and after a long time she said softly, “So fast.”

Fan Xian was immediately dumbfounded after his anger, what kind of woman was this?

Haitang seemed to immediately understand, somewhat self-condemningly patting her head, saying, “How did I forget that you’re Fei Jie’s disciple, if I had known, I should’ve added some dosage when I administered the medicine earlier.”

The moonlight moved slightly, the sparse branches trembled gently, and Haitang floated down, without shaking up any dust, landing lightly by Fan Xian’s side. She looked back at the inner room with a smile on her face and pushed open the temple door, signaling Fan Xian to go out with her.

Outside the temple was all darkness, and in the distance there were bursts of frogs singing in the pool environs, a peasant atmosphere. Fan Xian’s heart was a whiny woman’s breath, and he asked in a chilling voice, “What kind of drug did you give me?”

“Aphrodisiac.” Haitang said rightfully and squarely, “The best kind in the palace.”

“You ……” Fan Xian stretched out his index finger, pointing at the bridge of her nose which appeared a bit straighter than the average woman’s, giving birth to the urge to break her nose, “I’m an envoy of the Kingdom of Qing, and she’ll soon be your emperor’s woman! …… How dare you!”

Haitang’s face immediately went cold and said, “When Lord Fan drugged me on the banks of the Misty Ferry River, how come he didn’t feel he was being bold.”

“He was an enemy then, but how can he be a friend today?” Fan Xian immediately looked less justified.

Haitang said with a slight smile, “When you were in the palace, what did your lordship say?”

In the palace many days ago.

“The last time you gave the antidote, the Chen Pi was put in too heavily, and it was a bit bitter to eat.” Miss Haitang reveled in the sunlight.

Fan Xian smiled, knowing that the other party had already seen the fraud he had used that day, and said softly, “I am a supervisory institute’s tisan, not a high ranking person who seeks the way of heaven, it is common to make some means, the girl don’t mind, of course, if you really mind, you can also give me down …… that medicine. ”

This is some frivolous, Haitang but not like the general women that red face for shyness, said faintly: “If there is an opportunity, naturally will use.”

If there is an opportunity, naturally will use. If there was an opportunity, naturally he would use it!

Fan Xian, who had an amazing memory, of course remembered this sentence clearly, not realizing that the other party, as a girl, had actually used it. He could not help but coldly grunt several times, his heart was annoyed but there was no way to do it, he let other people drug himself, other people should be drugged at his own request, it seems that he really does not have anything to say, so …… Fan Xian raised his head to look at the bright moon, and lowered his head to hate the girl.

“I am also not a high person of cultivation, I am just a small woman who holds a grudge.” Haitang smiled and said, big woman full.

“It shouldn’t be Siriri, you’re her sister.” Fan Xian looked at Haitang coldly, “You know what that means.”

“Lili Lili likes you.” Haitang smiled, “You don’t dislike Rili either. That’s why several of our sisters think this matter is feasible.” In fact, from the moment she knew that Fan Xian was the same Mr. Cao who had written the Stone Book, Haitang was even more convinced of this idea.

Fan Xian suddenly fell silent, not knowing what had occurred to him, and after a long time suddenly looked at Haitang and said, “In fact,…… since it was you who administered the aphrodisiac to me, even though it’s true that you …… don’t look like much of a beauty, I can also reluctantly sacrifice a bit of color, why bother to involve Miss Si in it?”

Haitang again free and natural, again everything uninhibited in the heart, but in the end is only a young girl family, sniffing the words can not help but furious, that pair of bright eyes fiercely staring at Fan Xian, like a she-wolf in the late night on the Mangyuan.

Fan Xian took a breath and immediately regained his composure, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said: ”I can leave with a pat on the back. Beware of that master of yours fixing you up.”

Haitang took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and said with a serene blessing, “I hope you’ll forgive me for designing you today.”

Fan Xian said expressionlessly, “You can design a few more times, no man will refuse this kind of flying lustful fortune …… However, you are exempt.”

Haitang was no longer angry, but only said softly, “There will be a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, and there will be a martial arts fight, so your honor will make preparations first.”

“After the banquet, I will depart for my country.” Fan Xian stared at Haitang’s usual, strange face, surprisingly odd, “I can’t stay in Shangjing because I have some urgent matters at home. You arrange for me to meet with Miss Si again.”

Haitang gave a slight blessing and answered in silence, then watched as Fan Xian’s figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. As he passed by a field, Fan Xian stumbled slightly and nearly fell. Perhaps it was due to his restlessness, but looking at his hands reaching into his long coat and fumbling around, he realized that this guy’s pants belt hadn’t been fastened yet.

A generation of poetic immortal, later a powerful minister of the world, the most wretched sight in this life happened in one of the most remote temples in the Shangjing, outside the temple.

Haitang smiled, her bright eyes full of joy, wondering why she was so happy.

Fan Xian, who had returned to the mission, had a serene look in his eyes, with no sense of being in a mess, nor any of the anger he had shown earlier. When one lives in the world, it’s always difficult to avoid being counted on, unless you’re a complete person who is unerringly calculating and has a clear understanding of the human heart.

He didn’t expect Haitang to have such a reckless side, nor did he expect her to be so bold and decisive in doing things, and this kind of gambling nature was actually not much worse than himself.

“Only four in total?” He had already taken a bath, half leaning on the chair, but always felt that there was still some faint fragrance on his body, and couldn’t help but think of that girl, his heart surged with a faint it. Even though he was a cold and hard person, he still couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and began to calculate what kind of impact this matter would have on that woman.

Haitang might be telling the truth, but so what?

Yan Bingyun frowned at him, the other party as his superior, the rightful officer of the mission, when the mission was about to leave Qi, he quietly disappeared for a whole day, unable to be asked for instructions on many matters, and although the news in the afternoon confirmed that he was sparring with that Miss Haitang, who seldom appeared in front of the people, but where did he go afterwards? Why did Lord Fan’s face look a little strange today.

“Yes, four years, only four concubines in total have entered the palace.” Yan Bingyun replied, “The Emperor of Northern Qi has been practicing the Way of Heaven and Man since he was young, and looking at his style of governance, he is considered a wise lord. But anyone with a great ambition in his chest naturally wouldn’t be much interested in the affairs of men and women.”

“The Imperial Belt of Northern Qi shouldn’t have an heir yet, right?” Fan Xian asked with his eyes closed.

“The emperor is still young, and the palace is in no hurry for this.”

“Not in a hurry? …… Never mind, you go down and have Wang Qinian make arrangements to enter the palace the day after tomorrow, as well as for the return trip.” Fan Xian snorted coldly in his heart and waved his hand to indicate that Yan Bingyun should go down.

Yan Bingyun glanced at him with some bewilderment, knowing that Lord Tisch had many secrets that he hadn’t told. It was true that although Fan Xian was the Tishee of the Supervisory Court, there was a lot of information that he wouldn’t tell anyone to know.

For example, the matter of this evening, such as the …… possible attack on the Emperor of Northern Qi. Fan Xian’s fingers were still a little cold between them, and it was only at this point that he realized that he was really not as bold as Haitang.

The main gate of the imperial city was slowly pulled open, and the beautiful imperial palace that was hidden in the green mountains, with its black eaves flying and waterfalls flowing beside it, once again appeared in front of everyone. Fan Xian coldly watched those unfamiliar Northern Qi officials to collect their breath and walk towards the palace, and then greeted those familiar Honglu Temple officials with Wei Hua, and was politely invited by the eunuchs into the main hall.

The hall in a quiet, the long royal road beside the water smooth and wave-free, the water fish naturally swim.

The empress dowager and the royal belt sat high above the royal platform, below which there were ten pieces of table, and the people sitting there were all the powerful officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty, like the general officials only had the qualification of having meals in the side halls. Fan Xian, as the main envoy of the Southern Qing Dynasty, was seated on the first table on the left hand side, in addition to Gao Da, who had unloaded his longsword, standing firmly behind him, only Lin Wen and Lin Jing were seated beside him in the entire envoy.

Sitting opposite to the delegation were the Northern Qi dynasty’s Imperial Minister and Chancellor. Fan Xian glanced at that Tai Fu, knowing that the other party was Zhuang Mo Han’s most famous student, not realizing that the other party was not very old.

After a series of ceremonies, the birthday banquet finally began, in fact, the Empress Dowager of Beiqi was still very young, although the corners of her eyes already had some wrinkles, but still had a noblewoman’s clear charm.

But Fan Xian knew from Sean’s affair that this woman was in fact an extremely ruthless person. Thinking of Xiao En, he subconsciously inclined his head to look over – Uesugi Tiger was sitting at a table separated from him, but unfortunately, when he entered the hall, he did not have the opportunity to see clearly the elegance of the first general of Northern Qi.

The Empress Dowager raised her wine cup and said a few words, her voice so soft and gentle that Fan Xian didn’t listen to it, but only paid homage to the ministers and recited the hymns under his breath.

The Empress Dowager’s birthday, this kind of red bomb is naturally not ordinary commoners can compare, the Northern Qi group of ministers hate to the world’s valuable things are scavenged, moved to the palace, the East Mountain of the green dragon jade stone, Dongyi city imported the strange big bell, the northern snow produced by the thousand years rare double-tailed ferret ……

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and seemed quite satisfied.

The gifts from the Southern Qing Mission had long since been shipped over from Kyoto, and although they were expensive, they were not surprising. Fan Xian naturally won’t really compose a song for the Empress Dowager, or else the Empress Dowager’s face won’t be on the ground, but her own face will be on the ground first, and his words are really a bit out of hand.

His private birthday gift is a small bottle, the bottle is some amber-colored bright liquid, seems unusual, but the Empress Dowager opened the lid slightly after a sniff, and then look at Fan Xian’s eyes on some of the wrong, it is called an appreciation of love.

Good, is very unoriginal perfume, the inner library has been discontinued for fifteen years, was Fan Xian from the Qing Yu Hall snatched, was prepared to be used to intoxicate Haitang’s perfume.

Just did not think that Haitang is not good at this mouth, did not think that Haitang is not a great beauty, when Fan Xian in Kyoto to prepare Li Qingzhao’s words, France’s water, naturally did not think of not being able to take Haitang from the issue of men and women, but instead, but nearly was the other side of the Yin a road.

After Fan Xian kowtowed and thanked the Empress Dowager, his eyes lifted slightly and glanced at that emperor. Unexpectedly, he realized that the young emperor was also looking at himself with a smile. At this time, he already had a preconceived notion in his heart, and when he saw the emperor’s gaze, he couldn’t help but start to get furious.
