Chapter 55 Unintentionally planted willows and willows
Luan Ge lay on the bamboo chair in the courtyard of the Yongluan Hall basking in the sun, the early summer sun sprinkled down through the gaps in the leaves overhead, turning into dots of light on her body, the wind blew, the light swayed with the swaying treetops, how to look comfortable and comfortable.
She circled six taels with her left hand, and gently placed her right hand on it and followed the hair again and again. Luan Ge raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and let the sun shine on his face, his thick long eyelashes were like fluttering butterfly wings, and the blue of the sky filled the two gaps.
Suddenly, a leaf fell gently, swirling and scattered on Liutael's head. The little guy seemed to be unhappy to be disturbed by his dreams, shook his head and shook off the fallen leaves above his head, stretched out his paws and scratched them, and buried his head in Luan Ge's arms again.
Luan Ge didn't care about the small movements of six taels, her thoughts had already drifted away with the white clouds in the vast blue sky.
Shi was in the warm pavilion, she listened to the people outside the screen slowly approaching, and when she was worried and anxious, she heard the footsteps that were gradually approaching stopped, and then the sound of the soft couch sinking.
If that person doesn't move, it's useless for him to know the secret passage.
……
It was when she came to the palace of Chu State, and the people around her slowly learned that Luan Ge used to love to go to the cold palace to play, in order not to make people suspicious, she also went there every once in a while at the beginning.
Shuhe Hall was originally the residence of a princess in the previous generations of emperors, because this person does not like flowers and plants, the ground in the courtyard is paved with large stone bricks, only along the wall to plant some flowers and trees that are not very ostentatious, and a few magnolias are planted in the courtyard.
In the end, the princess was imprisoned for the rest of her life, and hanged herself in the palace one night. When the maidservant found it on the second day, her face was blue-brown, and she was already dead. Later, it became a ruined palace.
When it came to the time of the first emperor, it became a place where the deposed palace concubines were put aside, which is often called the cold palace.
However, in this dynasty, the emperor was charitable, and on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the queen mother, he granted amnesty to the world and dismissed all the people in the cold palace from the palace, so as to avoid the sorrow of the death of the lonely old man. Gradually, it became an empty palace, slowly forgotten.
After a long time, the palace people were lazy, and those wild flowers and weeds began to grow shapelessly. Only the few magnolias in the courtyard, although few people have taken care of them for many years, they have grown lush and pleasant.
I never thought that this empty and quiet place would be cheaper than Luange.
Before Emperor Shengzhao gave the Yongluan Palace, she often held six taels here to bask in the sun. It's just so that others don't disturb it.
That day, she was basking in the sun beside the magnolia tree, falling asleep in a daze, and suddenly was hit on her body and face by something unknown, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the sky had changed at some point, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the walnut raindrops fell densely, and it hurt raw.
didn't care about anything else, Yong'an Palace was too far away, so she had to hide in the main hall of the cold palace nearby.
The wind and rain were blowing, the dilapidated door could not stop the yin wind with the rain, and the damp and thin palace shirt was attached to her body, so she shivered from the cold, and without thinking too much, she went inside.
It didn't matter what she looked at, but she found a lot of good things.
There are several shelves full of books on the bookshelves in the inner room, except for the thick layer of dust that falls on them, it is not like a cold palace, but more like a study room for princes and grandchildren.
She picked it up and flipped through it casually, it was not "Female Virtue", "Female Ring" and the like, but more local customs and customs, local chronicles, as well as biographies of ancient emperors and virtuous ministers and celebrities, and even more the method of leading troops.
Now that she was right to her appetite, and she didn't care about the thick dust on the ground, she sat down on the shelf and read it, and only put down the book in her hand until her neck ached. She rubbed her head and leaned her back against the shelf behind her, but she heard a slight creaking sound, and the shelf behind her seemed to move backwards.
She stood up, stretched out her hand and pushed the shelf, but there was no response, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and when she saw that the rain outside was lighter, she patted her neck and was about to leave, but when she looked down, she found that there was a thick layer of dust under her feet, and near the bottom of the bookshelf, which was a finger's width away, there was only a thin layer.
Looks like this shelf can really move, she thought to herself.
With some force in her hand, she pushed it violently, and the bookshelf really moved backwards by itself, and Liuliang, who was sleeping by the window next to her, suddenly rushed into her arms, startling her, and her body shook and took a few steps back.
When the bookshelf stopped, she saw a secret passage in front of her, spiraling down the stone steps. After hesitating for a long time, curiosity finally prevailed, she found a candle on the table next to her, and slowly went down with six taels.
There are only about two people in the road, but the top is higher, and it is spacious for one person and one fox to walk in. Luan Ge walked cautiously, the dust raised by the skirt stimulated his nose, and Liuliang scratched his nose and sneezed several times.
After a while, the otherwise stable foundation began to rise, and then a staircase appeared.
It seems that the exit is almost there, Luan Ge said in his heart.
She didn't know where this passage led, she blew out the candle in her hand, motioned for Liuliang not to make a sound, carefully probed the road under her feet step by step, and slowly walked up.
At the end, a thin light could be faintly seen, accompanied by some sounds. She listened attentively, and realized that it was originally a banquet in the palace, but it suddenly encountered heavy rain, and all the officials and relatives took refuge in the room at the exit.
Thinking that the entrance was still open, and that he had not returned for a long time, someone would definitely come to look for him, so he slowly went out the same way and pushed the bookshelf back to its original position.
A few times later, she went inside again, and after a few fumbles, she found where the switch was, and even the exit, only then did she understand that the inner room of the cold palace was actually connected to the Xinuan Pavilion of Muchun Pavilion. After that, I shuttled back and forth a few times, but in the end I didn't find anything else, so I lost interest, and every time I couldn't help but get dirty on my clothes, I didn't think about this stubble again.
It's just that I didn't expect that this road would be used today.
It's just that the screen is still a little distance from the entrance over there, and although the switch turns quietly, no matter how light the footsteps are, they can't help but make a sound. Besides, there were only two of them in the room, and the men outside didn't know whether they were friends or foes.
Just when she was worried, she heard a noise outside the door, as if a lot of people had come. Through the screen, I vaguely saw the man move his footsteps and walk towards the door. Seeing this opportunity, Luan Ge flew to the inner room, unscrewed the switch of Xinuan Pavilion and went down to the passage.
She ran to the exit in one breath before she stopped to catch her breath. casually threw the tattered clothes in the dark passage, put on his own clothes and walked back to the Yongluan Palace.
Crawling through the dark road, Luan Ge was covered with dust, shouted Lianxin to get hot water, and just after bathing, he heard someone from Qianhua outside ask if she was there. Secretly said that it was dangerous, and responded loudly, and Hongyu left with confidence.
Let's say that the king of Ming over there listened to the door for a while, understood the reason, and was suspicious, so he turned to the inner room and looked at the entire warm pavilion, but he never found half a figure. And at this time, Luan Ge was already on the way back to Yongluan Palace, where could he find it?
King Ming confirmed that he was the only one, and then he was relieved.
Knowing in his heart, he was not in a hurry to open the door, and the people outside the door went to make trouble, only drinking tea and eating fruit on the soft couch in the room, and he was happy.
Thinking of today's events, Luan Ge secretly said in his heart, don't be so conceited and reckless in the future, and don't go anywhere until Shu Yang comes back, so as not to cause trouble.
"Just," she murmured, watching the nearest cloud drift away, "when will he be back?"
Closing his eyes, Luan Ge sighed softly, letting the early summer sunlight shine on his body, and yawned lazily.
Suddenly, she heard a shallow soft cry in the inner room, and the body of Liuliang in her arms tensed suddenly, she tightened Liuliang, listened quietly, and then got up suddenly.
She got up too violently, her eyes were black, and her head was a little dizzy, so she hurriedly held the back of the rattan chair with her right hand, slowed down for a while, and waited for her to come over, and then went to the inner room.
Finally back.
