Chapter Twenty-Eight: Choice?

I don't know if it's because of Li Jin's mentality, when he entered Xuanjing Palace, Li Jin always felt that there was a tense and depressing atmosphere around him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Coming to an attic in the courtyard specially built for enjoying the scenery, Li Jin was taken directly to the third floor, while Xiangxue was taken to the side room by the maid of Xuanjing Palace to wait for the master after getting off the car.

I don't know if it's to allow people to meditate or to avoid people's eyes, the stairs in this corner tower are scattered in all corners. It seems that the layout of each floor and the division of rooms are different. Therefore, along the way, Li Jin had the illusion of walking into a labyrinth, and secretly thought in his heart, "The road here, it is estimated that I will never be able to get out." ’

After coming to the third floor, Li Jin was politely let into a room that was a little too complicated to arrange, only to see that Shaman was overlapping on top of each other, and he almost didn't know where he was when he turned around.

After going around, he finally found an open place, and a table of eight immortals carved with sour branches was placed in the middle of this fairly spacious space, and Li Jin guessed that this should be the center of the whole room.

Li Jin approached the table and found that there were all kinds of snacks, fruits and a white jade pot on it, and I don't know if it was tea or wine. At this time, Li Jin remembered that it was the second half of noon. Probably because Concubine Jing was afraid that she would be hungry?

It's just that at the moment, Li Jin didn't say that he was hungry, and he only felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

After sitting for a while, it was really boring, Li Jin got up and walked to the east of the whole room, although he didn't know where the window was, but the light in this direction was the most, and the gauze curtain shook slightly.

Indeed, after Li Jin walked through five or six layers of Buman, a Linghua window appeared in front of Li Jin. Originally, the windows should have been sealed with silk cloth or plain propaganda for cold and wind protection, but the windows here were completely hollowed out.

Fortunately, the brazier in the house was burning, and the overlapping Shaman did not make the temperature of the whole room too low.

Li Jin pushed the window and looked out, and it turned out that this direction just happened to see the whole picture of the entire Xuanjing Palace. From here, the courtyard with red walls and green tiles seems to be a unique oasis, with all kinds of animals roaming in the middle, plus green cypresses and plum blossoms dotted in between, compared with the surrounding white and white courtyard, or dead branches and leaves, it really looks like a fairyland on earth.

Looking out of the window, after breathing in the fresh air, Li Jin felt a little soothed in his stomach.

"What, do you like the scenery here?" Shaman behind Li Jin was windless, accompanied by a tactful and gentle voice.

Concubine Jing is worthy of being the emperor's hand-picked concubine, not only has a graceful posture and beautiful appearance, but even her voice is more tactful than that of Huang Li, and it is even more gentle in that tone.

Because Li Jin was nervous, he had been paying attention to the surrounding noises, although there was only a very slight sound of clothes rubbing, Li Jin still noticed that someone was approaching him, and with the sound of footsteps, Li Jin had already guessed that it was Concubine Jing, the owner of this place.

Therefore, when Concubine Jing spoke out loud, Li Jin was not frightened at all.

"Meet Concubine Jing. Li Jin turned around and calmly saluted Concubine Jing who appeared behind her.

"Oh? I thought you were concentrating on the view. Concubine Jing seemed to regret that she hadn't scared Li Jin.

"The scenery in Niangniang's Palace is indeed charming, but at this time, Li Jin has no intention of appreciating it. ”

"What's the matter? You're always so polite, and I'm half of your family, so it's okay to talk to me? Maybe I can share your worries. Concubine Jing smiled and took Li Jin's hand and intimately led her to the Eight Immortals table that had just left.

Li Jin let Concubine Jing take her hand to the table, and did not react with any rejection.

In fact, there is not much difference in age between Li Jin and Concubine Jing, at most five years old, which is why Mrs. Li has a lot of complaints about Li Jin, her godmother.

It's just that this is nothing to Li Jin, one is that he doesn't often attend the banquets of those dignitaries, and he doesn't often walk around the palace, so the possibility of seeing Concubine Jing is even lower, so it's just a false name, why bother being so persistent?

"I heard that you are enjoying the snow and tasting tea in Yujingzhai, but it disturbs your Yaxing?" Concubine Jing arranged for Li Jin to sit in the back of the Eight Immortals table, with her back to the direction of the window.

"Where, the mother is serious. I just had typhoid fever and went out for a walk. I didn't want to pass by the person sent by Niangniang, otherwise I would have come to Niangniang first. ”

Concubine Jing was noncommittal about this, and only added snacks to Li Jinbucha while smiling: "You haven't said why you're bothered?"

"I'm afraid I already know. I don't know if Niangniang might help me?" Li Jin was very sure of this, but she didn't know what Concubine Jing's attitude was towards this matter.

Concubine Jing only looked at Li Jin and did not answer.

Li Jin secretly gritted her teeth, "Niang Niang knows about the fact that Donghua Gate was not allowed to pass a few days ago?"

"That's natural, something that the whole capital knows. Concubine Jing also filled the tea for herself, silently divided the pastries and ate them in small bites.

"Niangniang, did you know that someone strayed into Donghua Gate at that time and entered the city with the general?" Li Jin felt as if he had swallowed grit in his mouth at this time, and his throat was unbearable when he spoke.

"Well, at that time, Yin Zhao of the Jingshi Mansion told the whole city that before noon, the Donghua Gate was the boundary, and the left and right streets were not allowed to pass, and those who violated it would be severely punished. I heard that all the people in those three streets had been moved out at that time. Concubine Jing did not answer Li Jin's question directly, but completely retold the announcement at that time. At the end, I also sighed about the grand occasion at that time.

Li Jin's mind was blank for a while, and his face immediately turned three points whiter. Although he knew that it must have been a strict order at that time, hearing someone say it in full in person still made Li Jin uncomfortable for a while. Li Jin saw the appearance of those three streets with his own eyes, so he knew very well how hurriedly the people were driven away at that time. Thinking that this incident can disturb the people like this, and after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he took loving the people and compassion for the people as the first, so you can imagine the importance of the incident.

Li Jin was deceiving himself and avoiding thinking deeply about this matter, and hoped that the official in charge could help me hide my guilt at the same time because of his fear of sin, but at this time Li Jin was not sure.

Concubine Jing didn't seem to notice Li Jin's abnormality, and the previous topic didn't continue, but only persuaded Li Jin to eat more pastries, and explained the origin of various types of snacks.

Li Jin could only repeat the action of chewing like chewing wax, completely unaware of what was in his mouth.

After Concubine Jing used up half of the tea in the pot, she seemed to finally notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Changed the subject.

"In recent days, there has been a lot of snowfall, and I don't know what kind of snow it will be in northern Xinjiang. Concubine Jing seemed to be just trying to divert Li Jin's attention and mention the changeable weather in recent days.

"I don't know if Jin'er has heard of it? Before the previous dynasty, the soldiers of the Saiwai not only had to be stationed at the border in the bitter cold, but also those who were not on duty could not go home all year round, so how many people were scattered with their families all their lives. It was the emperor of the previous dynasty who specially issued an edict to let these people get the decree. Soldiers with families can bring their families to garrison northern Xinjiang. Thanks to the emperor's understanding, there are many fewer lonely people in the world. Concubine Jing said with emotion.

Li Jin was in no mood to listen to Concubine Jing's story at this time, and was hesitating how to ask Concubine Jing's attitude.

Concubine Jing suddenly looked at Li Jin with a sad look and asked, "Actually, I also have a troublesome thing here, I wonder if Jin'er can help?"
