After dinner, Xiyan climbed the leisurely pavilion high in the park alone. This garden is built in the courtyard of the first layer, there is a circular waterhole in the garden, the pool water is as green as jade, the bottom can be seen clearly, there are peculiar appearance stones as decoration on the edge of the pool, and weeping willows are widely planted, there are rattan trellises, stone tables and benches around it, and the long fence surrounds. On the west side of the waterhole is the Leisurely Pavilion. Walk a few meters along the ascending corridor to reach the Leisurely Pavilion, which is located in the water. The position of the leisurely pavilion is very high, the pavilion is hexagonal, the carved beams are painted, the vermilion pavilion pillars reflect the water of the clear pool, there is no interest. Standing on the top of the leisurely pavilion, you can see the mountains standing in the twilight from afar, and the pond in the park is also glowing with golden light in the setting sun.

During the day, she had already walked around the gardens embedded in each other, and the whole palace was full of the works of skilled craftsmen. The palace is built in a magnificent and chic manner, with high red walls and cornices, and landscapes, flowers, birds, and legends are carefully drawn under the eaves, and some places are inscribed with poems. On the staircase laid in front of the door, the pattern of the stone slab is clearly visible, and if you look closely, you can see that the unique paintings are engraved on it, and the color of the stone is monotonous, but the painting does not lose its interest.

Xiyan felt the palace in the twilight in the leisurely pavilion, and the slight evening breeze caressed her face.

Lei Yao saw the figure of the woman on the leisurely pavilion from a distance, and together with this pavilion, in the sunset, formed a painting. He had just settled his guards and was preparing to start his night patrol.

Wait until the twilight is four, the Chinese lights in the palace are lit, and the sunset comes down from the leisurely pavilion.

Lei Yao walked alone in the garden.

He also came here when he was a child. At that time, the elder brother was not yet an emperor, and like all the other brothers, he took him and the other children around the garden in search of treasures. He worships Lei Xiao, who has always been powerful, powerful, and has a compelling momentum. Lei Xiao can also take care of his siblings very patiently and gently. I can't remember when they started to have an indescribable distance, and no matter how difficult it was for them to be frank with each other, they would always seem to be separated by a deep ravine. And his mother, the gentle woman, always helped him wipe off his sweat with a smile when he was tired of playing, and shook a fan to lull him to sleep. A picture unfolded in front of his eyes, people and things in the past, still talking and doing things on the screen, but now he can no longer return to it, he can only look sad like this.

When he walked to the Hundred Gardens, he saw the sunset. She was standing among the flowers under the moon, looking down at something. Hearing the movement, she raised her head and saw that it was Lei Yao.

"The prince is also here?" she slowly walked out of the flowers and walked towards Lei Yao.

"I'll just walk around. Lei Yao looked at her.

The moon was bright tonight, and the whole garden was covered with clear light, and the flowers and plants in the garden seemed to be covered with a silver veil. She was dressed in light blue, mixed with moonlight, cold and ethereal, like a fairy walking down in the moon. Her eyelashes were also covered with moonlight, like a thin object rising from the waves of her eyes.

"It's so beautiful here. Xiyan looked up at him. He was shocked.

"It's beautiful. He noticed that she was thinly dressed.

"Niangniang, let's go back quickly, be careful of catching a cold. ”

Xiyan smiled, "Brother-in-law, what are you asking me to do, it sounds so weird." Now it's not in the palace. ”

Lei Yao also smiled slightly. "What do you call that?"

"As long as it's not a mother. Xiyan thought for a moment, "It's better not to call anything." Just talk. ”

Lei Yao looked at her and had an idea, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.

"Okay, let's go back. Lei Yao urged.

"That's not going to work, I have something to do. Xiyan refused.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm waiting for the flowers to bloom. She said seriously. "Come and see. She invited Lei Yao.

This, "in the dead of night, lonely men and widows, always out of place."

Xiyan saw that he didn't move, and he also understood his concerns a little, and he was not reluctant. "Then I'll tell you. ”

"This flower is called Bharata, and it is said that it came from the Western Regions. Its petals have seven layers, one layer of one color, and when its flowers are in bud, all the petals are tightly wrapped, straight upward, and the bottom is oval, the higher it goes, the thinner it becomes, and it looks like a lantern held by an invisible thread. It blooms once every three years, one layer per month, and the flowering time is when the moon is very bright. The blooming flowers will be layered like a tower. The expression of Xiyan's eyebrows fluttering made it impossible to connect with the side concubine who usually looked lazy. Lei Yao looked at her fixedly.

"Have you ever seen it bloom before?" asked Lei Yao.

"Nope. She shook her head.

"How is that so clear?"

"I saw it in a book. I thought it was a legend. Xiyan smiled and said, "When I first found it in the afternoon, I thought I was dazzled, it turns out that there are really such strange flowers in the world." ”

"I've been here a few times, but I've never seen the flowers you mentioned. Lei Yao listened to what she said, but he couldn't remember the existence of this flower.

"Very few people will notice. Xiyan went on to explain, "It is dwarf, always hidden behind other flowers, except for the flowering season, it looks like a very inconspicuous grass on weekdays. Of course you won't notice. ”

When she speaks, she is full of energy and is very smart, and she will grab the attention of others, making people unconsciously attracted to her.

"Lord Wang?" Xiyan stopped talking, and found that he was silent.

"Oh," Lei Yao put away his emotions, "I still have something to do, go first, and I'll ask the palace maid to send you clothes later." ”

Her eyes were talking, and she wanted to be alone, alone.

"Alright then," Lei Yao smiled, "I won't call anyone." ”

"Thank you. Xi Yan smiled sweetly at him, and then turned around and went to the place just now.

Lei Yao looked at her pale blue figure, took a deep breath, and an indescribable emotion entangled him. He walked out of the garden gate, thought for a moment, and stopped again. He stood in the darkness outside the door, watching from afar.
