Wu Yan nodded, Xia Ziyan stretched out his hand and pointed to the northeast of the Imperial Garden, "You don't know, the first emperor loved horses, and built a garden in the harem, and there is also a horse farm in it, which is a place for raising horses and riding horses." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt that time, horse breeding was popular inside and outside the palace, and people who were good at equestrianism were admired. By the time of his father's reign, although this garden still existed and the number of horses had decreased dramatically, it was basically a place to cool off. ”

He sighed again, "For a while, this is the way of the world." ”

They walked all the way, the sun was like a thin light gold paint, splashing all over the sky, and the top of the glazed palace in the distance flashed with a golden light, so dazzling that people couldn't look at it directly. The lush trees in the vicinity were overwhelmed by the golden light, and they were powerless to melt into the golden shadow, and could only secretly reveal their original colors under the golden shadow.

Occasionally, the golden shadow fell on them, and fell on Wu Yan, who was rarely silent, she was quietly listening to Xia Ziyan's words, his voice had washed away the disguise of calmness, gentle and warm, as if it was in the cold winter, just returned to the warm room in the warm room.

He told her about the appearance and topography of the palace, and this strange palace became familiar and even a little intimate in his mind because he had described it.

-- The imperial city was built in the middle of Jiankang City in the north, and there were four gates, which were divided into four directions, east, west, north and south, namely Qinglong Gate, Baihu Gate, Vermilion Bird Gate and Xuanwu Gate. It is divided into two parts, facing north is the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor and his harem were located. To the south is the seat of the government office, where the six ministries of the three provinces, the five temples and the temple are built.

The palace is divided into two places of the former dynasty and the harem again, separated by a palace wall, there are three doors open side by side, so that the two places communicate, the largest palace gate in the middle is Shanghua Gate, the small door on both sides is more than 100 steps away from it, because of the east and west sides, so it is called the West Shanghua Gate, the East Shanghua Gate.

There are three main halls in the previous dynasty, namely the Dusheng Palace, the Chongtai Hall and the Jingyu Palace. Every morning in the court, the civil and military officials enter the imperial city through the Suzaku Gate, and then enter the palace from the Changle Gate, pass through the Dusheng Hall and the Yanqing Gate, and meet the emperor in the Chongtai Palace. There is a bell tower and drum tower built outside the heavy platform hall, one west and one east, and the time is alarmed. Jingyu Hall is behind the Chongtai Palace, go to Jingyu Palace, and pass through a Ruitian Gate again. Entering the Ruitian Gate, from east to west, there are Sheng Yu Pavilion, Hewen Pavilion in the east, there are Douzhu Pavilion and Laiyi Pavilion in the west, the east and west are side by side, it is the place of the emperor's daily activities.

The harem enters from the Shanghua Gate, first the Queen's Cinnabar Palace, surrounded by many palaces of all sizes, all of which are the places where the palace people in the palace have to live. The cinnabar palace is in the middle of the harem, the northwesternmost corner is the Su Tower, the north is the imperial garden where the two are now located, and the east side of the imperial garden is the garden just mentioned by Xia Ziyan.

One of them was pressed low from the branch and stretched out in front of Xia Ziyan, blocking his view from looking ahead, he stretched out his hand and brushed the branch away, and saw that Wu Yan was also walking beside him, and the hand that brushed away the branch stayed for a while. But he didn't know what he thought, he closed his mouth and stopped. When Wu Yan felt a sudden silence around her, she realized that Xia Ziyan was not walking beside her, she turned around, but saw him standing under a flower tree.

The flowers have long gone, but the fruits have not yet grown, only the branches and green leaves, through the vigorous growth of the green branches, wantonly blocking the sight of others. Xia Ziyan's hand was raised, and he was pushing the branch in front of him away, but he stopped in mid-air and didn't come back, his eyes looked at Wu Yan in front of him, thoughtful, or thinking about something.

Wu Yan just wanted to open his mouth to bring him back to his senses, but Xia Ziyan blinked his eyes by himself, and came back to his senses one step ahead of her, the expression on that face was so calm that it was almost distant, and his cold eyes were like cold water in a deep pool, without the slightest ripple, as if he could see the bottom clearly, but people couldn't see the bottom at all.

Wu Yan just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he heard Xia Ziyan's voice ring first, he mentioned Xia Zihe, and said to himself, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said this to you, but you better not get too close to him." ”

No one would have expected him to say this suddenly, Wu Yan was about to say something, but heard Xia Ziyan's voice coming again, "Actually, it's not just him, the princes of Dayong, you should try to keep your distance, naturally including me." ”

He was still standing under the tree, but he withdrew his hand, and the branch bounced back to its place without resistance, covering the top of his head, blocking his eyes, and blocking the inquiring sight of Wu Yan. The shadow under the branch fell obliquely on his face, half of his face fell into the shadow, a pair of thin lips exposed in the sun, if the face was bright and dark, if the indifference was as deep as shallow, the distance between near and far, made people's hearts sink and fall suddenly.

He didn't stay long, he immediately raised his feet and walked forward, he looked in front of him without looking at Wu Yan again, he passed by Wu Yan's side, staggered and rubbed shoulders, like a stranger.

Wu Yan wanted to ask why, why she suddenly said this, why she suddenly changed her attitude, she seemed to know the answer, but she didn't know if the answer in her heart was what Xia Ziyan thought in her heart. But she felt that even if she asked, she would be like throwing a stone into the water, and she would not get any response, she pursed her lips and endured it, but after all, she still couldn't hold back, and still asked.

Sure enough, no one responded to her, only the breeze shuttled, swaying mottled shadows. Xia Ziyan seemed to slow down when he heard the sound, Wu Yan saw his lowered eyebrows, his long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, his lips moved, and his mouth opened but closed.

Wu Yan's heart was lost, but more of it was a feeling that was too complicated to describe, could it be that this was Xia Ziyan's intention to ask him to come out? He gave him a whip to show that there was no longer anything owed between the two? Last night's conversation was still clear, and the words just now were still in his ears, why did they suddenly change their taste? Wu Yan bit his lip and said softly, "I know, don't worry." ”

Xia Ziyan's face moved in the direction of Wu Yan behind him, but he didn't turn around after all, Wu Yan saw this, spoke again, and asked, "Since you say this, do you have to pretend that you don't know you when I meet you in the future, and do you have to pretend that everything I have in contact with you has not happened?"

"Life is not a drama, even if you want to erase everything that has happened, and if you want to do it, you can't act well, let alone act, can you finish this life?" Xia Ziyan didn't turn around, but finally opened his mouth and said, "We are not strangers, but we may not be friends." ”

Before he finished speaking, the person had already faded away in the golden sunlight. Wu Yan looked at the golden sunlight for a long time, and was dazzled, she reached out and rubbed her eyes, only to find that there was still a handkerchief in her sleeve that was ready to be returned to him, and she forgot to ask him if the agreement between the two people was still counted......

Wu Yan exhaled helplessly, turned his head to look around, and the staggered winding paths made people lose their sense of direction. At the end of the road ahead, the line of sight is suddenly broadened, no longer a tree stretching out a thousand leaves, there is a palace on the left, built according to the topography, overlooking from a high place, and there is a blue lake on the right, the water is rippling.

She walked back along the shore of the lake, and by this time the sun had risen from mid-air to the middle of the sky, and the lake was gradually cut off by the embankment, and was replaced by a path hidden in the shadows of the flowers and trees, and then only a hundred steps along the road, and suddenly a small pond appeared in front of her.

-- There is a mahogany pavilion standing by the pool, there are green lotus leaves in the pool, like countless small green umbrellas opened, stretching I don't know how far to go, at a glance, it seems to be far away from the sky.

At this time, the early summer has passed, the weather is getting hotter, there are lotus pavilions in the pond, but they are still a flower bones, still in the bud to be released, flickering among the lotus leaves.
