Chapter 45: The Garden of Rest, I
The summer when cicadas are scarce is because the cicadas are too noisy and annoying, so the palace people see cicadas catching cicadas, and cicadas are rewarded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info So that at this time, the road is silent, and the road feels longer and longer.
There was a bird chirping, which sounded on his side, Xia Ziyan turned around and looked at the dense bamboo forests on both sides of the palace road. The golden sunlight fell in the sky, but it was cut down by the cascading bamboo leaves between the bamboo forests, leaving only a layer of hazy light and shadow, and finally swallowed up by the shadows of the bamboo forest, and no trace could be found.
There was obviously no one behind him, but Xia Ziyan didn't know why, but he always had the illusion that someone would secretly follow behind him, and when he was discovered, he deliberately showed an innocent smile to cover it up. But in the final analysis, she has never followed behind her, why does she always think that she will do that, is it possible that she has some hope for this in her heart?
Xia Ziyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, even if she thought so in her heart, but after she said such indifferent words, would she be hurt because of this. Even if she didn't take it to heart, when she met again, she must not be able to smile like before.
Xia Ziyan's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of a eunuch asking for a salute, and he turned his head to see the verdant green bamboo rustling in the wind, and the depths of the bamboo forest were leading to a garden. Originally, the inside and outside of the garden were spacious avenues, and the emperor and the prince on horseback galloped or slowed down on the avenue, and there was sunshine or moonlight all the way. At this time, things are not human, Maolin Xiuzhu covered up his year, and even the words on the plaque on the gate of the garden were changed from "Wu Yuan" to "Rest Garden".
Xia Ziyan walked in front, the breeze swept all the way, the environment was quiet, and the heat was blown away all the way, which was very pleasant. They passed by the empty martial arts training ground and horse road in the rest garden, and occasionally met one or two palace people on the way, and they walked lightly because of the tranquility and soothing place. They walked all the way along the palace road, and in the depths of the garden, a pavilion and attic showed its face among the flowers and trees, and there were guards and palace people standing quietly in the shade under the attic, but one by one they were like paper figures, which did not add a point or two of popularity to this garden.
The little eunuch walked a few steps quickly to the front of Xia Ziyan, but he didn't pass it upstairs, just lowered his head and explained, "Please wait here for a while, the eldest prince came just now, I'm afraid that you will have to wait for the eldest prince to finish speaking before you can go in." ”
Xia Ziyan nodded, but a man's cold voice sounded at the corner of the stairs of the pavilion, "Don't wait, you can go to the transmission now." ”
You don't have to look up to know whose voice it is. The little eunuch raised his head to look at the place where the voice came from, the sun was shining from the top of his head, his eyes were pierced by the sun, his eyes were glazed, he could only bow his head and salute, and said, "I have seen the eldest prince", Xia Ziyan stood in the shade, looked up at this time, and saw Xia Zihai sticking his head out of the railing, wearing a dark purple gauze robe, it seemed that he was noble and calm, his face was habitually distant and cold, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and he couldn't guess his intentions, as well as the possible content of the conversation.
Xia Ziyan shouted lightly, "Big brother", and seeing that the pavilion was quiet, which did not match the usual scene, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and said, "I heard that the good thing of the eldest brother is coming, congratulations." ”
Xia Zihai walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back, he was almost a few years old with Xia Ziyan, but his height was almost caught up by Xia Ziyan. He glanced at Xia Ziyan and said, "What do you like to congratulate, just because it is rare to see my father so calm and not angry, it should be a good thing?"
The corners of Xia Ziyan's lips moved, pulled slightly, and smiled, but Xia Zihai's face in front of him was still as cold as a blade, even if he said something funny, it turned into ice when he said it. Xia Ziyan saw that there was a little silence between the two, and knew that there was nothing to say, so he bowed to Xia Zihai and turned to the side to let Xia Zihai go first, but seeing that Xia Zihai had no intention of leaving, Xia Ziyan had no choice but to lean and go upstairs first.
The door of the pavilion was hidden, there was no movement inside, and there was only a middle-aged eunuch standing outside, who was Ge Yunge's father-in-law. Ge Yun saw Xia Zihai coming, pushed the door and went in just about to pass the message, but when he saw the middle-aged man who was originally reviewing the book behind the bookcase, he was holding his forehead with his hand and closing his eyes as if he was sleeping. Ge Yun's steps forward immediately paused, turned around and made a "shhhh
I don't know how long it took, the sand in the water hourglass on the side finished a week, and there was a dingdong sound of running water, Xia Hao was awakened by the sound of water, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the door was ajar, Ge Yun's body stood outside the white swaying door, he opened his mouth and said, "I went to pass on the second prince before, how long has it been now, haven't you come yet?"
Ge Yun came in with a smile, and at the same time handed over a cup of freshly brewed flower tea, asked the ground with his hand, and said, "The second prince is a good minister and a filial son, and he has been here a long time ago. ”
Xia Hao looked at Ge Yun who was smiling all over his face, glared slightly, took the flower tea and took a sip, then looked at Xia Ziyan who was kneeling, he asked Xia Ziyan to sit down, and continued to look through the folds on the table, and did not speak immediately.
The fold on the table is divided into four stacks, different positions have different meanings, the courtiers of Dayong present the fold to the emperor, the fold will first pass through the Zhongshu Province, and the Zhongshu Province has passed it again, according to the content of the fold it will be divided into two kinds of urgent affairs and ordinary affairs, and then present to the emperor, the ordinary fold is usually placed on the rightmost position, to the left is to prevent the position of the important affairs folding. There are also important ministers who can directly hand over the fold directly when they get permission, and the fold cover is red, which is different from the color of other folds, and is usually placed in the middle of the table, that is, the third position from right to left. The reviewed memora is then placed to the left according to its importance, that is, the fourth position is the memo for important matters, and the ordinary memo is placed in the fifth position.
Just now, Xia Hao clearly picked up the fold from the fourth position, and there was no secret fold in these stacks of folds, presumably Xia Hao was looking at an ordinary fold at this time. But his expression was not relaxed, but slightly unhappy.
Ge Yun also handed Xia Ziyan a cup of flower tea at this time, Xia Ziyan took it and took a sip, and his eyes were also taken back from Xia Hao, he sat quietly in his position, his face was calm, as if he was not worried because he was called urgently.
Xia Hao folded the music together, just saw Xia Ziyan's appearance, and said unhappily, "That **** excuse me, saying that the day of going to Tianshan will be delayed for a few days, and I won't say the reason if I ask you, okay, it's okay, the witch has just arrived in Jiankang, and if you go later, you will go later." But if it weren't for Xie Yao presenting this letter, I wouldn't have known that **** would have broken into the royal road at night. Why did you conceal this incident and not say anything, and why didn't you immediately ask for guilt after the incident? I didn't see that you were a loyal minister and a filial son, but who was loyal and who was filial?"
