Cuinong agreed, leaving Yinghong and the two little maids waiting outside the pavilion.

The two maids were still young, but they looked like they were twelve years old.

One of them, wearing a willow-green armor with a double bun, thought to be guilty of spring sleepiness, stood there at this time, but his head was napping little by little. The other was not far behind, his eyelids drooping, and he tried to open them. It makes people laugh.

Yinghong followed my gaze, and immediately the two of them were about to attack, I shook my head with a smile, raised my index finger and shook it: "It's okay, don't scare them." ”

I was a slave in the princess's mansion that day, working from morning to night, and what I looked forward to most was to rest for a while.

Compare your heart with your heart, and push yourself and others.

At this time, the sun is in full bloom, and the light-colored part of the multicolored peony petals is almost transparent, bright and delicate. The pond on one side of the pavilion has a gentle breeze blowing through the ripples, spreading out in circles.

Suddenly, an unknown kingfisher chirped past the water, causing many ripples before the waves dispersed.

There is something in my heart that is difficult to decide, and I have to weigh it repeatedly.

I simply put down the paintbrush, took the white silk embroidered peacock lacquer handle fan placed next to the desk and played with it, and walked to the waterfront side of the pavilion and sat down.

The previous ripples have dissipated, and the reflection in the water has gradually become clearer. The flowers fell silently, and I leaned on the railing of the back of the beauty near the water and slowly shook the fan, and slowly made a decision.

I closed my eyes and took a nap, and before I knew it, I gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took but I suddenly woke up - there was always a feeling of being watched.

When I opened my eyes, it wasn't Sheng Yao who was standing outside the pavilion!

I smiled lazily, put the fan against my chin, leaned on the railing and said, "What did the prince do, it's weird and scary!"

Sheng Yao stepped into the pavilion and said with a smile, "Who told you to fall asleep here!" raised his hand and touched my shoulder, "I don't even know the petals that have fallen all over my body." ”

I stared at his doting eyebrows and took a deep breath, "Lord, there is something about the concubine." ”

"What's the matter?" he asked nonchalantly, reaching out to pluck a few petals from my hair.

I looked back at Yinghong.

Yinghong immediately understood, and retreated to the cloister with the two little maids.

Sheng Yao saw the strange and said, "Why is it so solemn?"

I carefully considered the words and said in a roundabout way: "In the lunar month of last year, the prince took me, Ruan Liangdi, and Qingzhuo to the Huizhen Building in Dongshi to listen to the play, do you still remember?"

Sheng Yao took my hand, rubbed it on his lips affectionately, and looked at me tenderly: "Did you listen to Yanxi Ban's "Palace of Eternal Life"?"

I couldn't help the throbbing in my heart, "Our carriage walked from Suzaku Street, and there is an old Gu family mansion in Tongque Lane on the side, I don't know if the prince knows?"

Sheng Yao's hand suddenly stopped.

I looked at him nervously.

He couldn't see anything on his face, but his eyes changed several times, as if he was happy and worried, as if someone had thrown a stone at the mouth of the well, and the waves suddenly rose, and after a while, there was finally no wave in the deep well.

A few words came out of his well-defined lips: "Nature knows." ”

I gritted my teeth and insisted on saying: "The concubine is a slave in Princess Yongjia's mansion, and the prince also knows about it. But the prince never asked Xiaoguan where he came from and who he was before entering the princess's mansion. ”

Sheng Yao suddenly smiled, his smile was bright, like starry skylight.

"Xiaoguan, I don't ask you, it's because you're by my side, I can see you, know everything that is familiar with you, know what kind of person you are, and know that I like you. As for the rest, it's not so important. ”

His blazing gaze turned to the outside of the pavilion, "For example, if you like these peonies, you like them, just paint them, do you care if they are sent from Caozhou, Shandong, or Luoyang, Henan?"

"Does the prince like Xiaoguan?"

"Love is like a treasure. ”

"No matter who Xiaoguan is, do you like Xiaoguan just because of Xiaoguan?"

"Yes!"

Suddenly I burst into tears, stood up and staggered into his arms.

His strong arms held me firmly and remained silent.

There was a sudden clicking sound on the back wall of the garden, and it sounded like the breaking of tree branches. I was shocked and broke free from his arms.

Sheng Yao looked at the back wall for a moment and said soothingly: "What are you afraid of, it's probably a cat stepping on a branch." ”

Fang was moved for a while, and at this time he was quite embarrassed, so he half-covered his face with a fan.

Sheng Yao smiled and lowered the fan, and said warmly, "You just mentioned Gu Mansion?"

I pondered for a moment and said softly: "Yes, the concubine was originally an old person from the Gu Mansion. ”

I am grateful for his affection for me, and I wanted to tell him the truth about my origin, but now that he is fighting with the crown prince, if he reveals the fact that he is the concubine of the Gu Mansion, it will not cause trouble to him.

Now he is only half-implicit and half-revealed, saying that he is an old man of the Gu Mansion, and it will be safer to explain it when the time is ripe.

Sheng Yao looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said for a while: "In the past, Gu Xiang's name was all over Kyoto, and he was convicted of raiding his home, which many people really didn't expect. Back then, because of the dispute over the East Palace, I had never befriended Gu Xiang openly, and I only had a few encounters with the eldest son of his family, and I also admired the Gu family's knowledge and upbringing. ”

He lowered his head slightly and looked at me: "Some time ago, Gu Gongzi was awarded an official position for military merits, do you know about this?"

"I've heard of it. I was a little uneasy, worried that he would think that I had fornicated information with others, so I added, "Imperial Sister Yongjia once gave several servants, all of whom were sold when the Gu Mansion had an accident. The concubines and them will inevitably pay more attention to the news of the Gu family. ”

Sheng Yao smiled: "Why do you need to be so trembling. I said a long time ago, I don't want you to be wronged again, I want you to laugh heartily. ”

He paused, but said with a smile: "Since you are an old person from the Gu Mansion, you naturally care about the movements of the Gu Mansion. In the future, we will come and go, and I am happy to see it happen. It's just a matter of being careful with the outside world. ”

I pressed the ecstasy in the center and said, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

When the pomegranate blossoms were blooming, I received a post from General Hu Ben's Mansion inviting the ladies of King Xiao's Mansion to enjoy the flowers.

I was surprised: "General Tiger Ben's Mansion, please let me go and enjoy the flowers?"

Zhan Lu was also a little unsure, and said hesitantly: "Yes, the post was sent to the palace, and it shouldn't be mistaken." ”

I took the post in the red tray and unfolded it: Nanfu small pavilion, thin with pomegranate flowers to take the second bloom. Curtain apricot stream peach, or you can meet Yinzhan. The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now open for you. Sending a message to Meihui Qu Zhaoxun, the sunshine must come, the rain must come, don't make the gold bottle empty to the wind.

After reading it a few times, I looked up and asked, "You didn't just invite me, right?"

"Yes, Ruan Liangdi and Mrs. Su Su also received posts there. ”

"What do they mean?"

"It's not been long since the post was sent, and I haven't gotten any definite news at this time. I only heard that when I received the post, Ruan Liangdi only opened it and glanced at it and threw it back, and Mrs. Su was silent. ”

After Zhan Lu finished speaking, he stopped, let the little girls all retreat, leaving only Cuinong by his side, and then said, "Does Zhaoxun want to excuse himself?"
