Chapter 205: What Yutong Saw
The emperor left. All the officials are scattered.
The envoy was under the care of full-time adults and eunuchs, so please leave the palace and go back to the post office.
The lights dimmed, and the palace maids and eunuchs walked back and forth with a few people lazily to pace back and clean up the mess on the table. Yutong raised the wine glass in his hand and drank the spirits in the glass. Wine glasses are placed on any table.
The moonlight is bright, isn't it a good time to admire the moon? Yutong, who is walking leisurely, has no place to go, but just follows the steps, and keeps walking forward.
I don't know how long it has passed, the residual wind rolls up the sleeves, and there are falling flowers in front of me, and the fragrance hits people. Yutong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, stopped, and let the white petals linger around his body and flutter away. Suddenly dark clouds obscured it, and the night darkened.
A flickering light, the shadows are wrong, beating faintly, and when you look closely, it seems to be a courtyard that has been empty for a long time. It was originally the residence given by the first emperor to the degraded concubine, but since the first emperor let Yu Xuan ascend the throne, it has been vacant. Now it seems that someone has followed in the footsteps.
Yutong looked at the dancing candle flame, and suddenly saw a figure on the window flower, just walking. Yutong didn't open his eyes, didn't want to stay any longer, and immediately turned around to go back.
Bright candles are transparent. Inside the house, Qingqing held a book in her hand and looked at it carefully, looked up at Dye Zhi who was sitting not far away from time to time, and replied to her question with a smile. Qi Xuan was cleaning up dishes and stuff. Tonight, the three of them were just like the banquet held in front of them, with the same snacks and tea, and they were all placed in the middle, and the three of them sat around the group, and they talked a lot. It's not too early, and it looks like I'm going to rest.
Dye Zhi put down the embroidered cloth in his hand and said: It's not too early, the master should not look at it anymore, don't hurt his eyes. I'm going to fetch some water first.
With that, the man got up and walked away with a smile. Qi Xuan had already put away the dishes and bowls, listened to the words, and said: Yes, it's time to go to bed at this hour.
Qingqing smiled and replied: Yes, yes, yes-
With that, he closed the book, got up and placed it on the tea table a few steps away.
Walking a few steps away, the wind was loud, and the falling flowers in the distance hit Yutong's body, only to see the dark clouds covering the moon, adding to the gloomy and desolate. But there is a faint warm light behind him, enveloping the back of the body, so that he can't let it turn sideways, so as to feel it again.
Who would have thought, but it was the moment he turned around, and the glance at him easily touched his mind.
Silhouette beauty, floating like an immortal. Is there a Jiao'e fairy between the palace feathers?
Yutong drove step by step, and quietly approached unconsciously.
Dye Zhi brought a basin of water, took a towel, put it in front of him, and served Qingqing. After washing, after Qingqing went to the house to rest, Qi Xuan and the two cleaned up for a while, and then went back to the side hall to sleep.
Yutong's eyes followed the seductive silhouette and never moved away for half a minute. It wasn't until the lights were all out that he knew that he had rested, and he went back the way he came.
The next day, morning dawned. Yutong came to the early court today, which attracted the attention of hundreds of officials. As soon as the morning came, someone came up to talk, but was sent away by Yutong. Yutong's mind has always been tied to what he saw last night, and he has no time to take care of others.
I saw him walk up to Lu Shui and shout: Lord Lu, are you in a hurry to go home?
Lu Shui turned around and saw that it was Yutong, so he smiled and said: There is nothing good about going back to the house. But the beautiful scenery between the streets and alleys can attract people.
Hearing this, Yutong also smiled and said: You are really still like that, but it is very much in line with my heart.
Lu Shui answered: Xia Guan wants to be more serious, but he can't give up his confidante.
Seeing that Yutong didn't speak, he continued: The prince has traveled around for a long time, and he must have seen a lot of interesting things, why don't you invite the prince to come to Lufu to drink and talk about it today?
After listening, Yutong nodded and said: That's what I mean.
The two of them laughed together and walked out of the palace gate, got on the sedan chair, and went all the way to the Lu Mansion. To the Lu Mansion sedan chair, the two walked into the house in turn, and there were people who respectfully saluted and asked for peace, the two did not pay much attention, and Lu Shuijing invited Yutong into his study. A servant brought a tea tray and brought hot water to serve.
After sitting down, Lu Shui said first: Is the prince still used to coming back to the house?
Yu Channel: Compared with the spring scenery outside, the palace is naturally incomparable, but it is just a place to sleep, and it doesn't matter if you are used to it or not. It's you, I've heard that there are several daughters who want to marry you, don't you look down on any of them?
Lu Shui laughed and said, "What about me?" Which family's daughter doesn't love your demeanor and appearance, so she is waiting for you.
Yu Channel: They are all good women, how can I be dirty. And my mind is not on any of them.
Lu Shui listened and said: When you have traveled all over the world for a long time, haven't you met a woman you like?
Yutong was drinking the tea, listened to the words, buttoned the tea lid, put the teacup back on the tea table, raised his eyes to look at Lu Shui, and said: I won't tell you, I came here today to ask about something.
Seeing this, Lu Shui said: Please tell Wang Yeming.
Yutong no longer hesitated, and told Lu Shui what he saw last night. Naturally, he will not say his mind together.
Yutong asked: I don't know if you know who lives in the cold palace?
Lu Shuidao: I think what you see should be the current queen.
Yu Tong didn't know and asked: What happened?
Lu Shuidao: This matter is a long story, and the queen is forced to move into the cold palace and there is nothing she can do.
Listening to it, Yutong knew one or two things in his heart. Said: What is the emperor's attitude?
Lu Shuidao: Since being beaten into the cold palace, the emperor has never mentioned the queen again. is very fond of the master of Chaoxiang Palace.
Yutong asked: But the daughter of Prime Minister Du?
Lu Shui replied: Exactly.
I see. Yutong knows a thing or two about that person's daughter, she is very sophisticated, she is beautiful and generous, and she will respond to things, and it is inevitable to be pitied, but she doesn't want the emperor to be trapped in this.
Yutong said: It seems that the harem is still powerless as always.
After being silent for a while, Lu Shui said: Do you have any plans for the prince to come back?
Yu Channel: I originally planned to stay for a while and leave, but now it seems that I should stay and not leave.
Lu Shui smiled and said: Since this is the case, then I have a good place to go and play often!
Yu Tong also smiled and said: You are here, I will naturally treat each other with wine.
After that, the two talked and laughed, and no longer talked about the harem.
As the king of Duan, Yutong is the only sibling of the emperor, and his status is naturally different. In the harem, Yutong can walk freely, unrestrained, and no one will take the liberty to interrogate his whereabouts. So, Yutong often walked around the depths of the harem.
Qingqing didn't like to go out, not only because there was nothing interesting in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but Qingqing couldn't stand the kowtow of the palace maids and eunuchs, so she was too lazy to walk around and always stayed in her own room. But the cold and secluded palace is different, not gorgeous and flamboyant, not flamboyant and kitsch, without decoration and deliberate embellishment, but it follows her wishes. The small courtyard is enough for Qingqing to play with quietly.
