Chapter 103: Alienation
The first emperor's love for Xue Hui was very little, but the form was very sufficient, and he really appreciated a lot of good things when he was alive, and there were countless strange flowers and plants, rare stones and rare trees in the back garden of the princess's mansion.

In addition, in the past ten years, Xue Hui did not do anything on the side in order to hide her clumsiness, and she only came to her own one-third of an acre. Before and after several large construction projects, it is to dig ponds to divert water, and to build pavilions, corridors, pavilions, and pavilions, to seek details in the fine, to seek differences in the beauty, and to build a garden to the world fairyland.
At this time, the spring breeze is warm, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the flowers are in full bloom, and everyone feels that they are full of splendor, and there is no place that cannot be entered into the poem, and there is no place that cannot be entered into the painting. Ingenuity everywhere, and there is no trace of carving. A flower, a tree, a pavilion, and a pavilion are all integrated with the surrounding scenery, and the water and milk ~ are blended.
While admiring the beautiful scenery, everyone sighed in their hearts, and only a person like Princess Cheng Xuan, who was favored by the first emperor and relied on by the new emperor, could renovate such a garden, which was really rich and luxurious.
It is not only a flower party, but also a tour. The young ladies who wanted to see the garden of the princess's mansion were in groups of three or five, and were led by the people in the mansion to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery. For example, Mrs. An and Mrs. Chang, who were old and had poor legs and feet, followed Xue Hui to the water pavilion to drink tea and talk.
Built on an island in the middle of the lake, this pavilion opens the windows on all sides to give you a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, making it a great place to sit and enjoy the scenery.
Mrs. An had the intention of letting Mulan see and learn more, so she didn't take her by her side, and asked her to play with the little girls led by the lord of Xianghe.
Mulan played with Yan Jingluo and the others for a while, and felt that these girls from the family were deliberately alienating her for some reason. And Yan Jingluo, her mind is obviously not at the flower party. Don't talk to her, just force a smile to deal with a few words, the rest of the time is in a trance, absent-minded. She didn't look like she was sick, she must have something on her mind.
Mulan is too lazy to care about the gossip of others, and she is impatient to please those inexplicable young ladies of the family. Led Ruixi and Baofu left behind, walked and stopped, leisurely watching the scenery in the garden.
Seeing that Mulan was getting farther and farther away from Yan Jingluo and the others, Ruixi couldn't help but ask, "Girl, they went over there, should we catch up?"
"No, let's shop ours. Mulan smiled at her, pointed to a place where peach blossoms were abundant, and said, "Let's go, go over there and have a look." ”
Ruixi opened her mouth, trying to say something but couldn't.
Before separating from Mrs. An, she was instructed by Hongyu to pay attention to the girl's every move. Seeing that Mulan was so unsociable at this time, he was a little anxious. I wanted to persuade him, but I was afraid that I would overstep my mouth, so I closed my mouth and followed worriedly.
Baofu doesn't have so many worries, everything is based on Mulan. After strolling around for a while, she carefully found that every pavilion in the back garden was set up with tables and chairs, and tea and snacks were prepared. Thinking that Mulan should be tired after walking for so long, he proposed: "Girl, go to the pavilion to have a sip of tea and rest." ”
She didn't say that Mulan hadn't felt it yet, but when she said it, she felt thirsty. Nodding in response, he said "yes" and led her and Ruixi to the nearest pavilion.
When I got closer, I heard a burst of laughter from the pavilion, thinking that someone had taken the lead. Just as he was about to turn around and change his feet to rest in a different pavilion, he heard a voice full of disdain coming through the shadows of the flowers and trees, "...... If it weren't for the death of the Xie family, would it be her turn to be the county lord? A concubine was born, and you still want us to catch up with her?"
"The devil stammered her. Another sweet voice said disappreciatively, "My father said, the Jieguo Mansion is just a superficial scenery, and there is not even a man, and when the lord of Suichuan County marries, how long can an old lady who is over half a hundred years old rely on Mrs. An to last? ”
"That's right, the so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. The tone of the person who spoke earlier added a bit of bitterness, "Thinking that with the name of a county lord on her head, she can be compared with the county lord of Xianghe?
Bao Fu was angry, and said, "How can this be reasonable", and he wanted to rush in to reason with them.
Rui Xi quickly grabbed her, "Baofu, don't be impulsive." It's full of girls from families of status, and if you quarrel with them, won't you get tired of the girls......"
Before they finished speaking, they saw Mulan leave them behind and go straight to the pavilion. She was startled, and hurriedly let go of Baofu to chase Mulan, "Girl, what are you going to do?"
Mulan didn't answer this, and stepped on the stairs made of roots to come to the pavilion. When I glanced at it, I saw three little girls of her age sitting in the pavilion, one sitting far away with her eyelashes down, and the other two chatting happily next to each other, unaware that the object of their discussion had stood in front of her.
It's no wonder that the back garden is full of winding paths, and this pavilion is half-hidden in the depths of the flowers and trees, and the path leading to the pavilion is covered by foliage, so it is difficult to find anyone nearby unless you get close.
The girl guarding outside the pavilion was not afraid that Mulan suddenly fell from the sky, and when she heard her master still talking about long and short things there, she knelt down with a "plop" and shouted at the top of her voice: "I have seen the county lord of Suichuan......
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the three people in the pavilion turned their heads in shock, all with ghostly expressions.
Mulan walked into the pavilion, found a vacant seat and sat down, and smiled at the stunned two, "You go on." ”
The two little girls were still lucky, but when they heard this, they knew that what they said before had been heard by Mulan, and their faces turned red. One bit his lower lip, the other twisted his handkerchief, and all of them lost the meanness of the talk behind their backs.
Although the other did not participate, he could sit with them and be suspected of complicity. lest it make Mulan hold a grudge, so she hurriedly came over to salute, "Say hello to the county lord of Suichuan." ”
Mulan looked at her twice, then asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"Back to the county lord, my name is Li Xi. The little girl didn't know what Mulan meant when she asked her name, and she was a little trembling when she answered.
Mulan carefully recalled the roster that Hongyu had shown her, and then asked, "But is it the daughter of Lord Li, the household servant?"
"Yes. Li Xi heard her ask about her father, and became more and more frightened, "County Lord...... Does the county lord know his father?"
"I don't know, I've admired the name for a long time. Mulan smiled and stretched out her hand to help her, "Flat." ”
Li Xi thanked him and straightened up, not daring to look at Mulan's face. I only secretly regret that I shouldn't have been in a pile with those two.
Mulan put Li Xi aside and looked at the other two lightly, "Although it can't be compared with the county lord of Xianghe, I still have the name of a county lord on my head." Both of them are girls from a well-known family in Beijing, so they don't even know the etiquette of respect and humility, right?"
