Chapter 216: The Past and the Present
After a few days, Lu Yun said that he wanted to go to the forest to play. The time she went with Yuxuan, she couldn't help but move, and finally waited until today, she should always make a fuss to her heart's content, and then talk to Sister Qing. The dim sum she ate was decorated by the palace maid, and she carefully selected some jewelry sent by the emperor and planned to take it to Qingqing.
After Lu Yun put it on, he put on a cloak outside before going out. Caiyun followed closely, followed by two or three palace maids, carrying food boxes and jewelry boxes in their hands.
Passing through the Imperial Garden, sure enough, the road was swept clean, and the messy trees and weeds on the side of the road were all gone, but many potted plants were placed on the standing white stones, arranged at intervals along the left and right sides of the road, which was very pleasing to the eye, and I couldn't even see that it was on the way deep into the cold palace.
Walking on the road, Lu Yun suddenly asked: Caiyun, is this really the way to the forest?
Caiyun, who was walking beside him, smiled and replied: Niangniang, isn't that the road? A few days ago, the chief steward took great pains to send many palace maids and eunuchs over, just to change the appearance of this place, and the slaves and maids also heard that in order for the emperor and the mother to have fun, the forest also had a good time.
After listening to the words, Lu Yun said with a smile: Since this is the case, I want to see what is going on, go faster!
The pace couldn't help but quicken, and the palace maids followed closely.
After a while, I saw the forest. Lu Yun walked into the forest in high spirits. Today's warm sun seems to be even more bustling than the last time she came, and before she took a few steps, Lu Yun was about to untie the collar of the cloak, Caiyun wanted to stop it, but she couldn't make trouble with Lu Yun's willfulness, so she had to take off the cloak and hand it over to the maid of the first palace to collect.
After walking dozens of steps, you can see the table, chair and stove through a few large trees. Walking quickly, there was no stove or the small and dilapidated table and stool in the open space in front of him. In front of you, there is a pavilion that is not much different from the Imperial Garden.
The warm sun falling from the trees that shaded the sky was blocked by the high spires of the pavilion, and the pavilion was shady. Lu Yun froze in place. Immediately after that, Caiyun saw the scene at a glance, then turned his head to look at Lu Yun, saw that she was like that, and then looked at the pavilion, and understood a little in his heart.
I only heard Caiyun say: It seems that it has been delayed for some days to build this pavilion.
After speaking, he turned around and took the cloak from the palace maid who came up, put it on Lu Yun's shoulder again, and said: Niangniang, the slave maid sees that the wind is strong. If you don't want to sit, you might as well go to the lady first.
Looking at the pavilion, Lu Yun felt uncomfortable, but after listening to Caiyun's words, he remembered that there was another important matter, so he hurriedly said: Okay! Do you know where my sister lives?
Caiyun Dao: The slaves and maids have inquired.
Lu Yun smiled and nodded.
Walk out of the woods and onto a path. After walking for more than a moment, I saw a palace gate, and the plaque above was engraved with the words "Leng Yu Palace". Whether it is a plaque or a palace gate, it exudes an old and corrupt atmosphere. At least in Lu Yun's eyes, this cold palace is a veritable "cold palace".
It is inevitable to think of the people who once lived in the Luanjiao Palace, but now they live in this dilapidated place, which inevitably makes people's hearts sad. Lu Yun walked to the palace gate, bent his fingers and knocked on the wooden door slightly, and there was a sound.
Soon, a word came from inside and shouted: Here it is!
Immediately, Lu Yun took a step back, looked at the palace gate and waited for the door to open.
After a while, the door opened.
Qi Xuan stood inside the door, still holding the door with his hand, looking at the comer. I don't want to stand outside the door is actually the mother of Yiju Pavilion.
Seeing that it was Qi Xuan, or Caiyun said first: Qi Xuan, let my mother go in first.
When Qi Xuan heard this, he quickly put down his hand and saluted: The slave and maid greet the mother.
Lu Yun smiled and said: Hurry up. I'm here to find my sister, is my sister there?
Qi Xuan laughed and said: Niangniang come in quickly, if the master knows that Niangniang is coming, he will be very happy.
When Lu Yun heard this, he smiled more and more happily, and happily walked all the way from outside the door to the hall, and then looked carefully left and right, trying to find Qingqing.
At this time, Dyeeda walked over. As early as when Qi Xuan went to open the door, she listened carefully, and after seeing that the person who came in from the window was Niangniang, she hurried out. After saluting, Lu Yun asked, "Where is your master?" Why aren't you in the house?
Qi Xuan stepped forward and said: The master is reading a book in the backyard. The mother came with the slave maid.
Lu Yun followed behind Qi Xuan, walked out of the temple gate, turned left and walked along the wall to the back of the hall. There are many trees planted around the backyard, all of which look old, but the layers are uneven, and the thick branches that grow halfway through the waist are actually scurrying like teeth and claws, and the left and right are five meters apart, but the branches can still be intertwined with each other, which has a strange scene. And Qingqing was sitting on a half-waisted branch, with her back against the trunk, her feet resting on it, holding a book in her hand, looking at it intently, not noticing anyone at all.
Still Qi Xuan walked under the tree, raised his head and shouted softly: Master, someone has come to see you!
Qingqing came back to her senses, turned her eyes away, and saw Lu Yun staring at her not far away.
Qingqing laughed, put away the book, jumped from it, and landed lightly on the ground. The white coat that emerged from under the cloak, when it fell, danced with the silky green silk, under the slightly cold warm sun—
After returning to the hall and sitting down, Qing Qing said: Yun'er, why did you come?
Lu Yun had already taken off his cloak and handed it to Caiyun, and now he heard the question, so he smiled and said: "Is it possible that my sister doesn't want me to come to play with you?"
Qingqing smiled and said: How could it be. It's just that this time is different from the past, and it can't be the same as before.
When Lu Yun heard this, he hurriedly said: What did my sister say? The past is the past, and the present is the present, as long as my sister does not dislike Yun'er, Yun'er will often come to accompany my sister.
Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, Yun'er can do whatever she wants."
Qingqing felt that Lu Yun had just come here for a while, and he wouldn't think about coming again after a long time, so he didn't say anything more.
At this time, the palace maid standing behind handed over the food box and jewelry box in her hand together. Caiyun took them one by one and put them on the table. Lu Yun took the jewelry box, opened it and took out a golden hairpin from it, sent it to Qingqing, and said: Sister, this is what I specially chose for you, if you bring it, it will definitely look good!
Qingqing took it, smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."
Seeing this, Lu Yun happily took out the ornaments in the box one by one and put them in front of Qingqing. It wasn't until all the ornaments of the jewelry box were placed in front of Qingqing that she asked with a smile: Do you like it all sister?
Qingqing didn't like too many ornaments, but seeing Lu Yun's happy appearance, she couldn't say what she didn't want, so she said: I like it.
Lu Yundao: That's good.
After finishing speaking, there was a way: That's right! In addition to these, Yun'er also brought some delicious snacks for her sister to taste.
Caiyun hurriedly opened the lid of the food box, and then brought out a plate of small snacks.
