The Begging Festival is coming as promised. In the evening, the imperial city is lit up, and the red lanterns are lit up, like a winding path. It is rare for the palace to be so noisy, and at the beginning of the night, the concubines began to gather in groups to gather in the garden. In fact, there are many gardens in the palace to enjoy the scenery, but Shen Wen likes to gather in the garden the most, so every year on Qixi Festival, he will go there to visit the garden, enjoy the moon, enjoy the shade, and take a rest.

In front of the Funing Palace, Su Wanxi was waiting for Shen Wen with the people of the personal palace, she was wearing a neon dress made of crepe de chinens, and a white petticoat cut from scattered flowers. Dressed like this, it looks neither idyllic nor flashy.

It is a garden, that is, everyone takes a walk together and chats about homely things, so everyone does not need to prepare. As soon as Su Wanxi's front foot arrived, Concubine Chen's back foot followed.

Concubine Chen has always been a woman who loves heavy makeup, and every time Wanxi sees her, she wears gold and silver, as if she can't wait to stuff all the good things on her body. Today, Concubine Chen's rouge is thick, and her lips are blood-red. The flower bun is pinned from side to side, with two pearls hanging between his ears, and he is dressed in a luxurious blue antique satin skirt, and he walks with a ringing around his waist.

"Yo, I forgot, there is one more Concubine Su this year. Concubine Chen came to meet her, and saw that there was no provocation in her eyes.

Su Wanxi was not in a hurry, and bowed lightly: "I've seen my sister." Although she was not shocked on the surface, she secretly calculated in her heart that she was really negligent when she planned it, and she didn't expect Concubine Chen to come to Funing Palace, she just hoped that the plan could be carried out normally.

"Hmph. Concubine Chen snorted disdainfully, approached Su Wanxi, and whispered in her ear, "Remind you first, be careful." ”

Hearing this, Su Wanxi lightly hooked the corners of her lips, squinted, and said softly: "Don't bother Sister Labor." ”

While speaking, Shen Wen came out in a dragon robe, and when he saw that the two of them were whispering, he smiled very happily: "The two concubines are like sisters, and I am very pleased." ”

When Su Wanxi and Concubine Chen heard this, they both saluted Shen Wen, with their beautiful smiles on their faces.

"Let's go, presumably the queen and the rest of the concubines are already waiting for us in Jujing Garden. Shen Wen said, going forward, Concubine Chen and Su Wanxi accompanied him.

There are red lights on both sides of the road, and the cobblestone path is like a red carpet. The night breeze blows, it is very cool, and there is the smell of rouge and wine from Jujingyuan in the wind.

Approaching the Jujing Garden, I have heard the laughter of the warblers and swallows in front of me. Su Wanxi frowned slightly, stopped and grabbed Shen Wen's arm, and said in a slightly pitiful tone: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of people in front~ The concubines don't like to be lively, so let's go back to the palace first." ”

Before Shen Wen could speak, Concubine Chen on the side hurriedly said with concern: "Oh, my sister doesn't like to be lively, and she was tortured in the past." Your Majesty, if my sister wants to go back, let her go back, it's a big deal that you will accompany her in the past tonight. ”

Shen Wen has always been gentle and doting on women, especially the women he loves, so Concubine Chen is very arrogant on weekdays, and she often doesn't care about etiquette when talking to Shen Wen, Shen Wen himself doesn't care, and the palace people are speechless.

Su Wanxi chuckled, looked at Concubine Chen gratefully, and said, "My sister still understands me." As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and tucked it into a fist in her sleeve.

Shen Wen looked at Su Wanxi lovingly and said, "It's a pity that I didn't have you to accompany me to visit the garden, but Concubine Ai is quiet, and I won't force you." ”

"Look, the emperor has spoken, and my sister will not send it away. Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows and said, obviously looking like she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme.

Su Wanxi smiled and saluted Shen Wen and said, "Thank you to the emperor, then the concubine will leave first." Wanxi raised her head and looked at the dark night sky slightly, and said, "But it's still early at the moment, and even the stars haven't come out yet, and the concubine still wants to wait to see Niu Lang and Weaver Girl." The concubines didn't dare to deceive, Jujingyuan was too lively, and the concubines were difficult to adapt, so the emperor allowed me to go to Zhongmeitang alone. ”

"Zhong Meitang?" Shen Wen's eyes lit up, and he said, "I forgot, a few years ago, a neighboring country sent a batch of peonies, and it was at this time that they bloomed. ”

Su Wanxi's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile: "If you are accompanied by the emperor, the concubine will be flattered." ”

Concubine Chen saw some clues, and hurriedly grabbed Shen Wen and said, "Your Majesty, the queen and all the sisters are waiting for you in Jujing Garden." ”

Shen Wen also took Concubine Chen's hand and said, "Ai Concubine, go, this year we will have a three-person begging coincidence." Jujingyuan has a queen presiding over the overall situation, and I don't have to worry about it. Shen Wen is eager to try, there is nothing new every year, and this year there are two beauties around him, which is enough.

"But ......" Concubine Chen frowned slightly, and before she could say anything, she was blocked by Su Wanxi.

"Sister, if you don't want to go to me and the emperor, just go. Su Wanxi smiled proudly and looked up at Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen chuckled, and then smiled coincidentally: "With the emperor with me, I will also go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"Hahaha, okay, let's go. Shen Wen said, and turned towards Zhong Meitang with Su Wanxi and Concubine Chen.

Zhong Mei Tang is not far from Jujing Garden, and all the peony flowers planted in Zhong Mei Tang are of all kinds and countless. The three of them arrived at Zhongmeitang after a while, where red lights hung everywhere, peonies bloomed everywhere, the fragrance was pleasant, and there was no sense of treachery.

A path leads to the depths of the bustling city, lined with peonies in full swing and a variety of colors.

The three of them left and chatted about July, and it was very strange that this batch of tribute peonies were still blooming so delicately. Near the depths, an ethereal woman's voice faintly came.

"The moon is shining. Brilliant people. Shu Jiao is entangled. Quietly ...... hard work"

"Your Majesty, listen, someone is singing. Wanxi said, sounding serious.

Shen Wen also heard such a graceful and moving singing, and couldn't help but stop and listen. Concubine Chen on the side smiled faintly and looked at Su Wanxi as if she was watching a play.

"The moon rises brightly. The best people are scared. Sorrowful. ......"The woman's singing voice is a little sad, and it makes people feel a little sad to hear.

Shen Wen seemed to be fascinated, looking for the singing voice, Wanxi and Concubine Chen were silent, and followed silently.

The singing became clearer and clearer, and when the three of them got closer, they saw Yao Huang's peony from it, and a woman in pink was sitting in it, singing to the peony all over the place.

"The moon is shining. The best are burning. Shu Yao. It's hard work. ”

The woman's face is delicate, she looks a little desolate, she is tied with a fairy bun, a peony hosta is pinned on the right, her slender fingers caress the peony flowers beside her lovingly, and her eyes are gentle like water.

"Your Majesty, the slave will go and take a look. Gonggong Zhou, who was following the emperor, was really not at ease, and wanted to go up to see what was going on, but was stopped by Shen Wen waving his hand.

Shen Wen stepped forward alone, the woman's singing slowly fell, and Shen Wen looked at her with a look of surprise and asked, "Who is in the flower?"

The woman in the peony raised her head slightly, dyed a faint smile: "Are you the emperor?"

"Well, who are you?" Shen Wen did not blame this unruly woman, but became more and more interested.

The woman got up slowly, covered her mouth and chuckled, looking sultry, and said softly: "I am the peony fairy." ”

"Fairy, what are you doing here?" Shen Wen felt that the woman in front of him was very interesting, so he continued to ask along with the woman's words.

"In July, the peony was difficult to survive, they complained to me, and I sang for them. Because I am a fairy, they all come to life when they listen to my singing. The woman said, taking a step back, and added, "Since there are outsiders, I have to go." With that, the woman lifted her skirt and wanted to leave.

"Beauty!" Shen Wen said, wanting to chase forward.

Only then did Concubine Chen call: "Your Majesty, that's a woman of unknown origin." ”

Shen Wen turned around and said, "It's okay, you two can go back first." After speaking, he hurriedly chased in the direction where the woman left.

Seeing Shen Wen leave, Su Wanxi smiled slightly, then turned her head and said to Concubine Chen: "Sister, have you seen it? This is the emperor, he never stops for any flower, because he has all the flowers in the world." "One day, Shen Jingyuan will also have the whole world, so he refuses to stay for a flower, it is still an ordinary flower.

Concubine Chen saw a flash of loneliness in Su Wanxi's eyes, and said with a smile: "You have a deep affection for the emperor." ”

Su Wanxi listened to Concubine Chen say this so lightly, as if she didn't like Shen Wen at all as a favorite concubine. I have a purpose in acknowledging that I am happy with him, and I don't love him, so what about Concubine Chen? I want to collect three thousand favors in one body, if it is not because of love, what is it for?

"Hehe, is it?" Su Wanxi smiled and said, "Today, I'll go to Jujingyuan for a walk, I wonder if my sister is together?"

Concubine Chen also smiled and said, "Go, why don't you go?"

So, the two of them turned around together and walked towards the Jujing Garden, and the two shadows were very strange in this empty garden, as if they were the peony fairies who came from the nine heavens.
