Chapter Five: The Autumn Moon and the Bright Difference (2)

There are two magnificent and magnificent palaces in Chang'an City - Yuanxin Palace and Yuyang Palace. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Yuan New Palace is larger, with an area about four times that of Yuyang Palace, and is located in the middle of the north of Chang'an City, while the smaller Yuyang Palace is located in the northeast of the city.

Yuanxin Palace is divided into the inner court where the emperor lives and feasts, the outer court where the emperor handles government affairs and receives ministers, and the east palace where the prince lives. And Yuyang Palace is like the emperor's private hall.

Jinji Palace is the main hall of Yuyang Palace, which was the place where the emperors of the past dynasties went to court and received ministers, and later the role of Yuanxin Palace gradually increased, and it gradually became the emperor's dormitory. The southwest and northeast sides of the main hall are respectively the flower hall where the former queen lived and a forbidden abandoned hall, each connected with a curved ruler-shaped corridor. In addition to the first empress, the emperor's three concubines all lived here, including Gu Guifei, Wu Xianfei, who had moved out, and Lin Shufei, who still remained here, as well as the emperor's children.

After the prince became an adult, he married Chu Yunlian, the eldest daughter of the prime minister, and lived in the East Palace with his mother. Prince Bijie died young. The fourth highness Li Tan succeeded to the emperor's deceased half-brother and moved to the southeast palace. Now there are only a few princesses who have not been out of the palace and the seven highnesses Li Tan and his biological mother Lin Shufei who have stubborn diseases.

In addition, there is a special resident in the Yuyang Palace, although he is related to the emperor by blood, he is not his biological child. The emperor authorized him to go to the court and go to the palace with a sword, and he commanded a group of forbidden troops in the Yuyang Palace, and his status was almost equal to the emperor's sons. He is the emperor's own nephew, the widow of the emperor's siblings, and the little marquis Li Can.

Fortunately, Lin Yueyuan carefully sealed a part of the silver into her underwear in case of emergency, and handed Lin Chang to her palace waist card to hide closely, otherwise she would probably have to learn from Bai Linglin to steal on the road. But as soon as she was negligent, she casually stuffed the handwritten letter written by her father into the clothes in the baggage.

Bai Linglin has been wandering around since she was a child, she is very familiar with clever and ghost ideas, but she doesn't understand poetry, books, etiquette and music, and she can't understand the main content of the letter with limited knowledge of Chinese characters, otherwise she would have hid in the sky, where would she have thrown herself into the net and rushed to Chang'an.

Lin Yueyuan successfully entered the Yuyang Palace with the waist card for entering the palace, and after entering, her trouble came. The architectural concept of Yuyang Palace fully absorbs the idea of "adapting measures to local conditions and conforming to nature" of traditional garden architecture in the past, because there are hot springs hidden underground, so the designers chiseled the ground to introduce hot spring water into the ground, forming a huge warm water lake, and the center of the lake is a man-made island. There is really a kind of "fresh breeze blowing green willows, white water reflecting red hearts" on the boating lake. On the blue waves, people swim in the painting. "Feeling.

In winter, Chang'an has a cold climate, and Yuyang Palace is the most suitable holy place for monarchs to avoid the cold. Although it is late autumn, it is still like a gorgeous spring full of mountain flowers, making people feel as if they are in the south of the Yangtze River.

But for Lin Yueyuan, a person who has always hated tediousness and likes simplicity, it is tantamount to entering a huge garden maze, and she is sweating profusely after a few laps.

In order to cater to the fresh effect of the green trees and green grass, the palace wall buried in the forest was specially made green. Lin Yueyuan walked around the palace wall like a headless fly, but he didn't find a palace that matched the trees with great ingenuity. I only feel that this place is full of fragrance and is particularly attractive, but there is no trace of calyx, which is really strange.

A clump of rose-red gold-edged colored leaf grass was bright in the blue sea, Lin Yueyuan walked over and stood on the edge of the flower bed from a high place, lifted his sleeves and fanned the wind to wipe his sweat. She noticed an interesting phenomenon, all the amaranth in this area were growing in one direction, and seemed to be guiding her.

Her gaze rose diagonally to the coleus amaranth, and at the diagonal corners she saw a huge golden canopy standing out among the bushes, the golden leaves pressed together to form a semicircular fluffy top, which looked like it was lying on the ground and curled up in a mass of yellow ducklings.

Behind the golden branch is a dark blue sky, and a few ribbons of white clouds hang from the top of the tree, which should be the highest point in this palace. She finally found the key to unlock the labyrinth, standing on the top of the tree and overlooking the whole situation, wouldn't she be able to easily open the breakthrough and solve the current dilemma?

Lin Yueyuan is a happy person, at least for now. As long as the situation in front of her had a slight reversal for the better, even if it was only as small as starlight, she could be happy. Hope is rooted in her heart like a seed, and the irrigation of time has made the seed grow into a towering tree in her heart like the golden branch of the acacia standing in her sight. The trees in reality will eventually die, but the trees in the heart will grow stronger with the deposition of time, until they become rocks and can live forever.

With the help of the catapult force of the branches, she jumped like a praying mantis. The rapid traversal made it impossible for her to tell whether she was stepping on a tree trunk or a brick wall.

The red embroidered shoes swept the golden leaves like flower branches, and the corners between the slices and petioles still had the rain of the previous days, and when she climbed hard, the branches sank, and the raindrops flowed out of the leaves, splashing on the branches, making the climbing path wet and slippery.

She grabbed the drooping branches of the tree, and scurried between them like a sturdy ape. As she stood at the top and looked down, she chuckled and was stunned: the branches of the tree stretched out so that she could not see the distant scenery at all. Although she tried her best to remove the cover in front of her, she couldn't clear the layers of barriers behind her, she was a little angry, and she pulled out the branches in front of her like crazy.

After half a tea time, she touched the wound on her palm that had been scraped by the branches and leaves, and the burning pain made her thunder, but she forgot that she was standing on a tree and not on solid ground.

The branch at her feet was as thick as her thighs, and it was more than enough to carry her body of less than 100 catties. She jumped back and forth a few times, and the branches were overwhelmed, tearing apart from the junction with the tree.

The sound she heard the moment she fell was the loud sound of a branch breaking.

In the process of sliding, Lin Yueyuan fluttered with both hands and tried to grab the hanging branches on the tree, not wanting to be so slippery because of the water, he pulled several branches in a row. Gradually, her feet revealed the canopy, followed by her legs, and when her arms leaked out, the rate of descent suddenly stopped. A vine wrapped from her wrist to her palm, tightly strangling her right hand, her drooping body hanging in the air.

The vine slowly cut into her flesh like a thin blade, blood staining her wrist and into the sleeve of her coat. The pain sounded the alarm in her head, and she realized that this vine was not here to save her, because if she didn't let go, it would be tantamount to slitting her wrists and committing suicide.

She looked down, the thick trunk of the locust tree covered her vision, she could only roughly see the general scenery under the tree, below is a clean and neat white marble platform, covered with elegant and soft felt carpet, a round hole was dug in the center of the round platform, the locust tree grew from it, looking from afar, like a piece of jade.

On the round platform, there are large expanses of epiphany buds as white as flying snow from the inside out, and the intoxicating fragrance is the fragrance of this epiphany.

The epiphany does not fill the round table, but is arranged like silk threads along the outer wall twice, and the middle is empty. As long as she can jump on the felt carpet, she won't hurt her muscles and bones.

She adjusted her posture slightly, controlled her body, and let go of the blank carpet, everything seemed to be under control, but things that got out of control always happened when people were confident: at this moment, a person suddenly turned out from behind the tree.

Lin Yueyuan's face turned pale with fright, if she smashed on this person, that person would have to be smashed and vomit blood if she was not stoned to death. She shouted loudly, trying to get the attention of the man underground. He just raised his head and looked at her in a panic, as if he was too frightened by her to move.

In desperation, she exerted all her strength, stretched out her legs and kicked on the trunk of the tree, and changed her course halfway to avoid the people under the tree, but unfortunately the force was too strong, and she bounced out of the middle of the road at once, just pressing on a pot of epiphany.

The jade pot cracked in the middle, and the dirt spilled all over the ground, and she avoided the sharp fragments of the pot, and poured it between the dirt and the flowers, stirring up a few neatly arranged epiphylls.

"Who are you, and why did you fall from above and crush my flowers?" The man leaned over slightly and asked gracefully.

Lin Yueyuan sat sideways in the dirt, holding on to her sore buttocks. At first glance, he wanted to scold his mother angrily, he saved his life, he was not grateful, even if he was silent, he should come over to greet him. As soon as he opened his mouth, he actually had a condescending tone of questioning.

With this kind of resentment, she didn't bother to look at him, and choked like a cannon: "Do you know how to learn about Entu, if I hadn't made a clever move in the air, it would have been you who were smashed, not the flower." You are a dead man, when you see a big living person fall like this, you can also help it, but you only have your pot of broken flowers in your eyes. ”

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she grabbed a crushed epiphyllum on the ground and threw it on the ground, and shouted angrily: "If you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I burned all the flowers, grass, and trees here with a torch." ”

Her words were originally reasonable, but in the end, they were quite vexatious. The man smiled and justified in a good-natured manner: "I stood here watering the flowers in a dignified manner, and you came down from above and almost hit me." Instead, I am grateful to Dade, who is unreasonable? ”

She was angry in her heart, her legs were numb, she struggled to stand up, and she was even more tired of being entangled with him, so she vented all her anger on him, and roared angrily: "Shut up." ”

She spoke quickly and in a high pitch, and the voice frightened the man and limped back to the tree.

It turned out that the reason why the man didn't dodge in time was because his legs and feet were inconvenient. He distanced himself from Lin Yueyuan, seeing that her hands were covered with blood, and her gorgeous red dress covered with mud became gray and embarrassed, and then looked at the annoyed look that did not match her delicate face, he was quite self-reproachful, of course he was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, in fact, he just wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but he annoyed her.

It's not funny if the joke goes too far. He put away his relaxed and teasing tone, took out a pair of ebony crutches from behind the tree, moved to her side with great difficulty, and asked her seriously: "Girl, your hand is injured, do you need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

As she spoke, a sweet aroma of wine wafted out of the person's mouth, which aroused Lin Yueyuan's desire to drink wine, and she raised her eyes impatiently and glanced at the other party.

The man held out a plain hand to her, and the yellow mud stained on the gold-trimmed white sleeves was delicate, but it did not feel dirty at all, but appropriately added a little earthly smoke to his otherworldly temperament, so that he did not make people feel unapproachable and alienated. He had no accessories on his body, just as clean as his watery eyebrows and eyes. The eyes that narrowed when he smiled were crooked like a crescent moon hanging by the branches of a laurel tree.

She stood up slowly by his hand, kept thinking in her heart, and said perfunctorily: "No need. ”

She took him by the arm, and they limped to the other side of the tree, where there stood four felt-covered stone benches, a marble round table with jugs and glasses and a few plates of delicate pastries, and a flower hoe leaning against the trunk of the tree.

The man took out an embroidered purse from his bosom and picked up the petals that had fallen on the round stool one by one and put them inside. Lin Yueyuan sat next to him and watched in amazement as a big man took care of this delicate flower like a woman who loved herself, and goosebumps appeared on her body for a while.

She smelled the wine, grabbed the flask on the round table and asked, "Good wine." Then he poured wine on his injured hand.

The man screamed, Lin Yueyuan was in pain, frowned, and shouted while despising him for making a fuss: "I didn't scream in pain, what are you screaming?" Then he turned his head to the side and groaned in a low voice, "It hurts me." ”

The man's face turned paler and paler, and he kept asking, "Are you okay?" Do you want me to call the Imperial Doctor? ”

She shook her head nonchalantly, and said: How can this person be like a woman's mother-in-law.

She took the handkerchief handed by the other party, bandaged it briefly, remembered his previous words, thought about it, and asked, "You just wanted to help me ask for an imperial doctor?" Do you know how to get around the hospital? ”

"Of course." He smiled kindly.

"You know every place in the palace, right? Look at you, you're dressed as a gardener in the palace. Lin Yueyuan began to use her not-so-brilliant imagination again.

The other party didn't answer and smiled suspiciously: "Look at your dress, you don't look like a palace maid in the palace." ”

Lin Yueyuan was inspired by Bai Linglin, and said nonsense: "You guessed half right, I am a palace maid who has just entered the palace, and our chief manager let us go to the main place of Concubine Lin Shu to work, if I go late, I will die." ”

"Since you are a palace maid who has just arrived, why don't you go to the court bureau and run to the Yuyang Palace alone, supervisor? Dare I ask who your supervisor is? "Obviously, she is doing this.

Lin Yueyuan was anxious by his question, and said indiscriminately: "Oh, why do you have so many questions, you just need to help me show the way?" Don't worry, I'm not a bad person and won't bother you. ”

The man stared into her eyes as if he could penetrate into the depths of her soul. The other party's inquiring gaze made her heart furious, and she was thinking about how to fill in the loopholes in her words, but who knew that the person chose to believe her after a period of silent deep thought.

Lin Yueyuan carefully memorized the route in his heart, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "That's good, thank you." She turned and walked, and the torn corners of her skirt hooked into the round stool, and she tore a large piece of it.

"Alas, your dress." He kindly reminded.

Anyway, it was broken, Lin Yueyuan simply tore off the skirt with embroidered gold flowers and threw it to him: "Oh." This flower is embroidered with gold thread, and it is embroidered by high-quality Shu, so it should be regarded as a thank you gift for me to ask for directions. ”

The man shook the skirt in his hand and smiled helplessly.
