Chapter Twenty-Five: The Imperial Garden
On the way back from the Qin Pavilion, I kept thinking about what Concubine Jing said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Naturally, I agreed to my mother's request and agreed to practice the ensemble together every few days. What I'm thinking about is, of course, not an ensemble thing, but a ...... The sentence "The emperor said that in the spring of next year, a large army will be sent to the southwest." ”
The southwest region is the land where King Yu occupies the land and is the king's rebellion. The emperor said that he would send a large army to the southwest, and the generals who could lead troops to fight in the DPRK and China were none other than General Lu, the father of King Jing and Concubine De. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, in fact, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related and have many connections.
If General Lu goes to the southwest in the spring of next year, then Concubine De's position in the harem will become unbreakable. Even if Concubine Niangniang's position is higher, in order to calm the army's heart, the emperor will also spoil Concubine De, I can't say it...... This point will be promoted to the next level.
I can't help but think of the proposal that Lin agreed to a few days ago, so that I could pretend to surrender and then secretly cross Chen Cang. I always feel uneasy, and it seems that something is wrong. I regret it in my heart. In this step-by-step palace, if you make a mistake, you will lose everything. I'm not a chess player, but I'm in high risk of becoming a pawn.
Back in the palace, it was already evening. After dinner, Nian Yang was making the table cushions and chair cushions to be used in the yard in the future, and Si Yuan was next to her to carefully draw the patterns for her. I half-leaned on the bedpost next to the bed, holding a spare book that Ling'er had found, reflecting the ever-bright lamp in front of the bed, and looking at it leisurely.
The lights flickered, the shadows of the candles dangled on the pages, and my mind wandered and wandered. Later, I simply stopped looking at it, put on a coat, took a flute, and took a walk in the yard.
Today's moonlight is like water, although it is not a full moon, but the curved crescent moon makes people think of the arc of a smile, which is very pleasing. I picked up the flute, the white jade flute body was more flawless under the moonlight, remembering some things that had happened recently, a little bored, sitting on the stone chair, I gently played the flute.
I didn't think about what I was going to play, I just played it randomly. I feel that the tune is like the wind, like my own thoughts, blowing and blowing, and drifting farther and farther with the tune. At night, it was very quiet in Xianfu Palace. In the quiet of the night, the sound of the flute wafted under the moonlight, and everything was quiet as usual.
Soon after, Si Kite came and asked me to go back. It is said that it is cold at night, don't freeze your body, take good care. I followed her back to my room and rested as usual. I didn't see it, on the other side of the palace wall, a man in bright yellow clothes stayed silent for a while, and then walked away.
On the second day, he got up as usual and returned to the palace after asking An, and Lin promised to come to the door. Only this time, she didn't mention the pretended defection she said last time, but invited me to go out for a walk.
I've been in the palace for so long, and I've never been in the palace. It's just a vague idea where this palace is and where that one is. Every day, I locked myself in Xianfu Palace and didn't go out, I didn't want to cause trouble, and I also wanted to hide from it. So I didn't refuse Lin's invitation.
The lunch promised by Lin was served in Xianfu Palace. Although I don't like her, the face of things is to be passed. She asked the maid to put her lunch here. I can't dismiss her interest.
Lin promised to look close and friendly to me. I don't feel that way. In this palace, where are the friends? I don't know how, but a figure appeared in my mind -- Concubine Jing Niangniang. Jing Concubine Niangniang has a cold and lovely atmosphere, not pampered, not reckless, more than kind, and warm as jade.
Thinking of this, I shook my head again. How could Concubine Jing be friends with such an unpopular little nobleman as me? Not to mention the background and rank, who can be worthy of such a flawless person?
Lin promised to come out of Xianfu Palace with me, and walked slowly along the palace road in the direction of the Imperial Garden. From Xianfu Palace to the Imperial Garden, it is naturally closer to the west road. First, I passed through Lutai, then walked through Qianqiu Pavilion, and finally stopped at Yanhui Pavilion to rest.
Today's Lin promised to be dressed in a moon-white palace dress, and the supple green silk was only inserted with a hosta, which was both simple and generous, but also slightly noble. Two jade earrings are hung on the earlobes, there is no vulgar powder, only a light makeup, it looks beautiful and refined, the delicate facial features are coordinated on the face, the breeze blows, blowing the green silk next to the temples, a beautiful scene.
I watched Lin Yu standing in a cluster of flowers from the side, and the beauty in the sun gently picked up a blooming flower, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, which really made people feel pity. It's just that here, it's just me, and there's no one in the harem who can pity her. I shook my head, thinking to myself what I was thinking.
After a short pause, we continued eastward. After passing through many pavilions, I sat and watched the scenery at Wanchun Pavilion. After sitting for a while, I heard a human voice. The human voice got closer and closer, and at first it was not clear, but then it became clearer and clearer.
"You say, why didn't the emperor summon the concubine recently? I and the two little sluts over there, but we haven't slept yet. This voice sounded like a soft nobleman, and his voice seemed to be a little anxious, but when it came to the three words of the little slut, he still gritted his teeth and said.
"The emperor has been busy lately...... Not to mention the southwest, it is those disaster victims in the south, which makes the emperor busy, where is there time to pamper the concubines. It seems that Li Guiren said this.
"It's still my sister's life, as soon as I entered the palace, I pulled out my head, and I got pregnant in one fell swoop, and I was pregnant with a dragon fetus, in this palace, I don't know how many people envy my sister. If you don't talk about others, you're a lady...... Ahem, it's that one, I have to admire my sister. Rou Guiren's tone was both envious and a little jealous.
"Now, I just want to give birth to the emperor in peace, and then raise him well...... He's my and the emperor's child...... I just don't know, will he be a little more like me, or a little more like the emperor?" Li Guiren said this, seemed to laugh a few times, and said: "Don't be like me, I'm just a woman, or like the emperor, some handsome and martial arts in the future-" The latter words were not continued, but they also made others understand her thoughts. The unspoken words were just the little thoughts about the throne.
As he spoke, the two nobles turned a corner and saw me and Lin Yu, who were still sitting in Wanchun Pavilion. Lin promised to salute the two nobles, and I also bowed halfway, and greeted the two nobles: "What a coincidence." Two nobles are also coming to visit?"
