Chapter 198 Concubine

"What's the next test?" Li Motang asked.

Luan Hongxiao raised her head slightly: "Of course it's a test of how to please me."

"Mother!"

"Are you anxious again?"

"No."

Huang Feng returned to the carriage, and only the maid and Li Junzheng were left. He naturally noticed where Li Motang and Xiaonuan went, but it was difficult to chase them.

Although he was not familiar with the two people in the carriage, it didn't matter. Li Junzheng was full of admiration for him now.

"You are so strong!"

Looking at Li Junzheng's starry eyes, Huang Feng pretended to be modest: "It's okay, it's okay."

Li Junzheng pouted. He was young and looked down on this kind of deliberate modesty. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Huang Feng add: "It's still a little distance from the best in the world."

"..." Li Junzheng's words were blocked in his mouth.

The maid beside her was amused, but she didn't dare to be rude, so she pursed her lips slightly. Unexpectedly, Huang Feng suddenly sat over and asked her, "I don't know what you call me yet?"

"Little E." Little E gestured with her hand for fear that Huang Feng might misunderstand.

Huang Feng then realized that if she didn't gesture, he would have misunderstood. Isn't it generally called "Little E"?

Little E saw that he was surprised and explained, "The Queen thought I wasn't lively enough, so she changed my name."

"Is it useful?" Huang Feng asked.

"A little bit." Little E was not sure either.

Huang Feng nodded: "You can't say no, I understand."

Xiaoe quickly explained: "No, that's not what I meant."

Huang Feng didn't dwell on this question, and continued to ask: "What kind of person is Concubine Xi, is she easy to get along with, what are her hobbies, what do she like to eat?"

"Ah?" A series of questions made Xiaoe a little confused, "Concubine Xi is easy to get along with, what she likes on weekdays... Xiaoe can't say, you should ask His Highness, or ask Concubine Xi in person."

"Okay." Huang Feng understood that as Concubine Xi's personal maid, how could she casually reveal her master's interests and preferences.

The carriage arrived at the destination quickly, and Xiaoe said respectfully: "We have arrived at Chengxin Palace, please come in, Mr. Huang."

As soon as Huang Feng got off the carriage, he saw Li Motang coming out from inside, and snorted: "So slow."

Li Junzheng got out of the carriage, wanting to go in but not daring to, Li Motang glanced at him and said: "Wait outside for a while, I'll call you in for snacks later."

"Oh, okay." Li Junzheng nodded quickly and waited by the carriage.

Entering the Chengxin Palace, Huang Feng saw a woman in luxurious clothes coming in front of him. She looked about 60% similar to Li Motang. Thinking that she was her mother, Huang Feng respectfully said, "I am Huang Feng, paying my respects to Concubine Xi."

"Yes." Luan Hongxiao looked at Huang Feng and tried to keep a straight face. "I heard that you and Motang are very close, so I wanted to summon you to take a look."

Huang Feng whispered, "Is it that the more you look at her, the more you like her?"

"Puff..." With just one sentence, Luan Hongxiao couldn't hold it anymore, and said to Li Motang, "I feel that you don't look like my daughter, but he looks like my son!"

Li Motang almost jumped up: "Mom, can you say that casually!"

"What's the matter!" Luan Hongxiao didn't care.

Huang Feng: "..."

Although he had felt before that Li Motang's personality should be more like Li Yin, and this Concubine Xi might not be so serious, but in fact, he was much happier than he thought.

Luan Hongxiao looked at Huang Feng and smiled: "Have you guessed what the second test I'm going to give you is?"

Huang Feng looked confident: "No, but I know everything about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs!"

"Oh?" Luan Hongxiao said with interest, "Then you want to play a game with me?"

Huang Feng immediately asked: "Gobang?"

Li Motang was about to draw his sword: "Be more respectful."

Huang Feng immediately retorted: "Isn't Gobang a chess game?"

Li Motang: "You..."

Unexpectedly, Luan Hongxiao was very interested: "How to play? Teach me."

"Okay." Huang Feng was very enthusiastic and came to the side with Luan Hongxiao. Xiaoe had already prepared the chessboard and chess pieces and went out to wait.

Huang Feng briefly explained the rules. He played black first, but he did not beat Luan Hongxiao by taking the first move like he did when he played chess with Li Motang. Instead, he revealed a flaw while playing chess: "I lost. Concubine Xi is really amazing. When Li Motang played with me, she could never beat me. I didn't expect Concubine Xi to win the first game."

"Oh? How come I didn't know about this?"

"Didn't she tell you?"

"No."

Huang Feng thought for a while: "Maybe she was afraid of telling you that she lost."

Luan Hongxiao nodded: "Yes, I won the first game."

Li Motang said angrily: "Don't flatter me, my mother doesn't buy it!"

Luan Hongxiao glared back: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't I buy it?"

Li Motang: "..."

Huang Feng saw it and smiled. He finally found a way to control Li Motang!

However, Luan Hongxiao was not completely fooled by him, and smiled: "This Gobang is a trick. The music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs you mentioned are not all like this, right?"

Huang Feng was very frank this time: "Most of them are like this."

Luan Hongxiao asked: "I heard that Zhuge Wenyu of Yunlu Academy praised your poetry."

"You are too kind."

Luan Hongxiao smiled and said: "You are being modest now. How about you write a short poem for Concubine Rou on her birthday in a few days?"

Huang Feng was stunned : "Rou Guifei, Si Hongyuan?"

"That's right." Luan Hongxiao nodded, "I heard that you offended the Si family?"

As soon as he said this, Huang Feng guessed that Luan Hongxiao asked her to write this poem, so there should be no need to be too happy: "How could I offend them? I saved their young master!"

Luan Hongxiao said: "I heard that, so I offended them. Why not take this opportunity to vent your anger?"

Huang Feng quickly understood Luan Hongxiao's intention. On the one hand, it was to test his poems to see if they were as good as Zhuge Wenyu said.

On the other hand, it was actually to support him. Sending his poems to Si Hongyuan on her birthday showed that Luan Hongxiao had recognized him. If the Si family wanted to retaliate against him, they would have to think twice.

However, this test was not simple at all. If Luan Hongxiao wanted to take it, the poems could not be too bad, and they could not openly scold them. At most, they could secretly mock them. Huang Feng thought about it carefully for a while, but he didn't think it was suitable.

"Stumped?" Luan Hongxiao smiled.

Huang Feng suddenly had an idea: "Rou Guifei, you don't have spiritual roots?"

"No."

"Then don't send her a complete poem, just two lines?"

"Tell me." Luan Hongxiao was a little curious.

Huang Feng smiled and said: "The most unretainable thing in the world is the red face leaving the mirror and the flowers leaving the trees."

Li Yin had already entered the Hedao realm. Luan Hongxiao had not shown her cultivation, but she gave him the feeling that she was definitely not low.

When Li Yin abdicated, most of the three thousand concubines in the harem turned into a handful of yellow earth, and Si Hongyuan was no exception. However, Luan Hongxiao's face remained unchanged. Sending these two lines of poetry on her birthday undoubtedly stabbed the other party's heart.

Luan Hongxiao's eyes lit up: "This palace likes you more and more!"
