Chapter 233: Encounter with the Emperor
The Imperial Garden is crisscrossed by paths, and perhaps the early spring wind blows the plants that are not well cared for and are more verdant than the vast expanses of the Imperial Garden. Walking on such a trail brings peace of mind.
Yi Qingqing's temperament is very fond of it. But Du Youlan was different, and after a while, she took Qingqing's hand and walked onto the wide and flat gravel path, and the small bushes on both sides of the carefully manicured shrubs stood out green, and new branches had grown.
was walking on the gravel road, but saw that the emperor was not far in front of them, and he was also walking towards them. They couldn't help but stop and watched Yu Xuan get closer and closer, as if they had seen them.
Du Youlan was overjoyed, she hadn't seen Yuxuan for a long time, she had been thinking about it for a long time, and her heart was surging. But after thinking about it, I was worried, I actually bumped into the emperor in the imperial garden today, if it was only me, it would be good, but there was an extra Ren Qingqing by his side. looked at Yu Xuan again, and her eyes were full of beauties around her.
Yu Xuan walked in a walk, with an extraordinary demeanor and a high spirit.
When they approached, they both bowed down and saluted.
After the two of them got up, Yu Xuan asked, "Why are you here?"
Du Youlan replied: Your Majesty, every time the concubine goes to her sister, she feels really lonely, so she makes an appointment to come to the imperial garden for a walk today.
Yuxuan said: It's okay. If you need something, just let someone do it.
Du Youlan smiled lightly, and saluted slightly: Thank you, Emperor.
Qing Qing also bent down slightly when she saw this. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Yu Xuan staring at her, and after the two looked at each other, Yu Xuan smiled.
The affection between the two flashed.
Du Youlan straightened up, looked at Yu Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, how do you have time to walk around the Imperial Garden today?
Yu Xuan Dao: Like you, if you also want to see the scenery of early spring, go to the Imperial Garden to have a look. Sure enough, I lived up to my expectations and saw such a beautiful view.
As he spoke, Yu Xuan looked forward. Ahead is a dark pond with broken lotus leaves floating on the surface of the water in fragments.
Du Youlan looked at it with a look, it was really different. Then he said: In this case, the emperor is here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and my sister and I will leave first.
As he spoke, he saluted, and when he was about to leave, he heard Yu Xuan say: Please Concubine Du and wait, I have not come to the imperial garden, and I have not seen some beautiful scenery, but the concubine is different, and she often comes and goes, if you want, can you bring me another one?
After listening to this, Du Youlan glanced at Qingqing beside her, and then said: If the emperor is willing to follow the concubine and others, the concubine is naturally willing to be with the emperor. It's just—
Yu Xuan Dao: Just what?
Du Youlan said: It's just that the concubine is afraid that her sister will feel a little sluggish. If only my sister were willing.
Yu Xuan looked at Qing Qing and asked, "Empress, what do you say?"
Seeing this, Qingqing said: The concubine is willing.
Yu Xuan listened, his face was pleasant, and he turned to Du Youlan and said: In that case, do you have anything else to say?
Du Youlan said with a smile: What my sister says is what it is.
The three of them walked side by side on the avenue of the Imperial Garden.
Suddenly, Yu Xuan said: I didn't expect you to be so good.
As he spoke, he looked at Du Youlan.
When Du Youlan heard this, she looked up and saw Yu Xuan looking at her, so she smiled and replied: The concubine and the sister know each other, and it is natural for them to become better. Moreover, to be able to accompany the emperor to enjoy the scenery like today is the most joyful for us.
As he spoke, he didn't look at Qingqing.
Yu Xuan smiled and was silent. The three of them continued on their way.
After walking for a while, a little eunuch came running in the distance, asking the emperor to go back to the Qianqing Palace, and there were adults waiting.
After Yu Xuan left, because it was close to lunch, the two of them were not going far. After resting in the pavilion for a while, Du Youlan said: Sister, it is better to go to Chaoxiang Palace for dinner today, although it is not as good as the previous Luanjiao Palace, but it is better than my sister's now, the emperor also said just now, what do you need Although let the next person do it, I don't need anything, but if my sister wants to do something, you can tell my sister, and my sister will help you.
Qingqing sat opposite, smiled slightly, and said: I understand my sister's kindness, but I prefer the current Lengyou Palace to your Chaoxiang Palace. It's time to go back, so we'll go first.
As he spoke, the man also got up and turned to leave, followed by Qixuan Dyezhi.
After the people left, Zijuan stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, are you just letting people go back?"
Du Youlan glared at Zijuan fiercely, and when she saw her cowering and hanging her head, she said: Not today, she can't have an accident if something happens to me.
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and said: Go back to the palace.
Zijuan wanted to ask, so she had to go back to the palace first.
After returning to the palace and entering the palace, after Zijuan took care of it, he ordered the palace people to urge the small kitchen to send lunch. At this time, seeing that Du Youlan was sitting on a recliner resting, she stepped forward and whispered: Niangniang, do you want anyone to stare at over there?
Du Youlan listened, opened her eyes, and said: Yes, especially the emperor's side.
Zijuan had already leaned down and was beating Du Youlan's legs. After listening to the words, he nodded and said: Yes, the slave understands.
As he spoke, he immediately looked up and secretly glanced at someone, and saw that Du Youlan was about to close her eyes and go to sleep again, so she hurriedly asked: Niangniang, you just said that you can't do it today, why did you say that?
Du Youlan looked down at Zijuan, snorted coldly, and said: Don't you see how the emperor thinks of her? That look, I have never seen before, he is the emperor, the emperor, not a drama, no matter how well he hides it, his eyes can't be avoided. The emperor has always loved the queen from beginning to end, and has never changed, even if he has beaten people into the cold palace, his mind has never changed.
Zijuan said: Hearing Niangniang say this, I realized that I didn't expect the emperor to love a woman so much.
After finishing speaking, Du Youlan suddenly shook, her whole body couldn't move, and her hands and feet were stiff. She suddenly thought, yes, the emperor loved that person so much, and he wanted to keep her no matter what at first, but why did he easily agree at that time and put people in the cold palace. Speaking of which, it's just a change of place, although it is a little remote, but away from the chaos of the former dynasty and harem, it has become clean, and the emperor has never decreed to seize the title and abolish the queen.
At this time, Du Youlan really understood. The emperor was not forced to do that because of the situation, but pushed the boat along the river to win peace for her, but he was willing to bear the pressure from many sides and the feeling of longing.
She should have thought that today's emperor was not distracted, nor was it a chance encounter, but he had already known that in order to see the lovesick people, he had a glimpse of the imperial garden.
Your Majesty—— Your Majesty, do you know that your lovesickness will hurt her? In the entire former dynasty and harem, which pair of eyes are not staring, as long as you get close to that demon for half a minute, all the previous hard work will be ruined.
Because, she must be - shattered bones, and it is difficult to escape the blame!
