Chapter 60: Yuancheng Hualin
But on the other hand, since Huan Jie learned the unknown secrets of Sima Xi and Princess Nankang, he was like taking a reassuring pill, and he was not arrogant or impatient. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With such a royal handle in his hands, he will not worry about finding an official position in the future, and he will have nowhere to display his ambitions, but what he needs to carefully consider is how to make this talisman, because he has not yet had contact with Sima Xi, and has not understood Sima Xi's temperament.
On this day, after breakfast, he was reading a book in his room, but he heard someone outside calling his name, and his voice was hoarse, and it sounded like Chengji.
Huan Jun opened the door and took a look, and if it was really Chengji, he saluted and said, "The steward came early in the morning, what are you doing?"
Cheng Ji smiled kindly and said: "Congratulations to the son, the prince has invited the prince to enter the palace to face the holy treasure, the carriage has been prepared at the door, the son quickly straightens up and goes with me." ”
Huan was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and went back to the house to change into a jujube red satin spider pattern robe, this robe was made by him after he entered the mansion to worship as a guest of the Nanling Wangmen with his monthly routine salary, and it was specially worn when he visited the dignitaries, and he never thought that it would be available so soon.
Huan all followed Cheng Ji to lead the way to the main gate, on the way, Sima Xi was coming behind him, Huan and Cheng Ji hurriedly stopped to greet him, only to see Sima Xi wearing a bright purple gold and silver silk embroidered Shu brocade robe, with Hu Feng soft leather riding boots, is majestic, Huan is busy to meet him, saluted: "I have seen the prince below." ”
"No need to be polite. Sima Xi did not stop walking, but raised his hand while walking to signal Huan to get up, Sima Xi's expression today is quite kind and happy, very high-spirited, Zhijuan Changhong, thinking that he is quite satisfied with the scroll of words offered by Huan in his heart, so he led Huan to meet the emperor in such a spring breeze.
Out of the prince's mansion, there are already two beautiful and rich high-headed carriages waiting there, the first one is covered with pale yellow satin, there is a diamond-shaped pattern of gold wire routing, the roof is decorated with white pearls, the royal style, the latter one is decorated with vermilion silk velvet, the size and the roof jewel are much more low-key than the previous car, needless to say, this one is equipped with Huan. The two of them got into their carriages, and without further ado, they set off.
Huan is the first time in his life to sit in a carriage to go out, the street scenery is inferior to people regardless of people or trees, sitting in the car, the scenery in the window does not have to move to move can be changed, the pedestrians walking on the side of the road see the carriage passing by, and then look at the yellow curtain, have stopped to see, solemn and respectful, Huan Jie's carriage followed behind, he is opening the curtain to look outside, the pedestrians looking up on the side of the road saw Huan Jie, their eyes were also full of reverence, Huan all looked at the heart of the heart, secretly thinking that with this prince is with the right person.
The carriage traveled for half an hour and stopped in front of the palace gate. This is not a cluster of new nor old Yuancheng palace north and south is located in Jianye city, the palace room is in the north, there is the north and south main street in front of the palace, the left and right government offices are built, the outside is built in the house, the palace has more than 3,000 palaces, at a glance, the lofty and vast, magnificent and majestic, direct skyline.
At the door, there was a submissive eunuch waiting for the carriage to and from the guests.
As soon as Sima Xi got out of the car, a eunuch with a courteous face greeted him and said: "I have seen the prince of Nanling, the emperor is enjoying the flowers in Hualin Garden, and the prince is coming with me." ”
Sima Xi bowed his head and answered, Cheng Ji took out a few pieces of money from his sleeve on the side to reward the eunuch who led the way, the eunuch took it with a smile, thanked Sima Xi, Cheng Ji stayed outside the palace gate, and the rest of Sima Xi, Huan Jie, and the eunuch walked into the palace gate.
As they were walking, the eunuch in front of the two suddenly turned around and asked in a soft voice: "Lord Wang, which talent is this dignified and suave son?"
Sima Xi laughed, ran through Changhong, and said: "Zhao Zhongguan, this king forgot to introduce, this is the right-hand man of this king Xinna, the son of Huan Jiehuan." He said to Huan Jun behind him: "This is Zhao Jinhao Zhao Zhongguan, the emperor's personal lieutenant official, with a high position and power, and he has served the emperor for ......."
"It's been thirty years. Lieutenant Zhao hurriedly answered, "The old minister began to serve the current emperor at the age of seven. ”
"It was originally Zhao Zhongguan, and he was rude!" Huan Du had never heard of the name of "Zhao Jinhao Zhongguan", and he thought that he should be a eunuch leader-like figure, but he was just casually polite.
Zhao Zhongguan nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "Our emperor, what he likes most on weekdays is calligraphy. If Gongzi Huan's words can be favored by the emperor, he will soar in the future, and the future will be immeasurable. ”
Huan Jun smiled back: "I still need to mention it from the middle official." "Huan is staying in the Nanling Mansion these days, and he has a fast grasp of the way of officialdom, so Sima Xi on the side is also a little shocked, if it is changed to before, he is ashamed to start to make a lot of nonsense, Sima Xi not only sighed that this Chengji is really good at training, and he will be included in the house for a few days, and then come out to act after being trained by Chengji in those days, which is indeed very wise.
"The words that this king dedicated to the emperor are naturally one in a million masterpieces, and this king also sent people to visit all over the country, and it took several years to find such a masterpiece. Sima Xi said. These words came out of Sima Xi's mouth, but they had the atmospheric taste of selecting talents and promoting ability.
Lieutenant Zhao smiled and complimented a few words, praising Huan Jun as fluttering as the eunuchs' ability in their bones, and the three of them walked through all kinds of pavilions and pavilions in a group and came to Hualin Garden in the palace.
The palace garden of the legend is incomparably ingenious, what you see with your own eyes is more than the imagination of Huan Jie, the green mountains and clear water and the palace towers that you have seen before are contrasted with each other, the rockery is decorated between the strange trees and peony flowers, the high pavilion fence, the pearl curtain treasure tent, the magnificence is very, it is no wonder that the emperor who is rumored in the market also praised the sentence: "The heart does not have to be far away, the forest is beautiful, there is the fun of the water, the birds, beasts, birds and fish, and the blind date." ”
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the Hualin Garden is full of flowers, such as Roland, Mandala, Geranium, and Jianlan, and more are rare flowers that cannot be named. And the most blooming place of the delicate flowers, there is a person in the flowers flashing left and right, like a predatory dog happy and excited, I saw that this person is dressed in a yellow robe and civilian clothes, but he is open and his shirt is not covered, and he does not wear the crown that the emperor should wear, only his hair is scattered, his face is trembling, and his eyebrows are dancing with a smile. Zhao Zhongguan's preface said that the emperor is enjoying the flowers, it is true, but the flowers are fat powder fireworks, I saw the emperor and a few pretty concubines frolicking in the flowers, the concubines are competing with each other like these flowers, wearing all kinds of cool and revealing gorgeous robes and coquettish demeanor, and the body is also chanting and laughing in the twist, luring the young emperor Sima Yi who is blindfolded with ribbons to pounce on them.
Zhao Zhongguan whispered: "Your Majesty, the king of Nanling and the prince of Huan are here." Sima Yizheng was teasing the most emotional, and he didn't hear that Zhao Zhongguan came to report, so he just drilled under the red and willow green skirts of the concubines.
"Oh, I'm catching you!" The emperor laughed even more profligately, hugged the shadow dangling in front of him, took off the blindfolded ribbon and just wanted to be intimate, but was shocked to find that it was a man with hard eyebrows and eyes!
"Your Majesty. Sima Xi calmly took over and said, "This is the doorman of the old minister's mansion - Huan Jie, today the old minister took him into the palace to present the ink treasure to the emperor, when he made an appointment, didn't the emperor remember?"
The emperor looked up at the sun, and it was already more than half of the time, but he really forgot about it completely, so he said with a little disappointment: "Thank you Uncle Huang for reminding me." He said to the group of warblers and warblers: "Let's stand down first, I have something to talk about with the emperor's uncle." ”
