After the rain, the Imperial Garden has a different kind of freshness and delicacy, and the water droplets left on the flowers and leaves appear more and more crystal clear in the sun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Emperor Meng Zhao took Ning Guifei's hand and walked among the flowers, stepping on the bluestone path washed by the rain, and he was very happy.
"After all these years, you still know my mind best. After approving the day's excerpts, I will take a walk with you in the imperial garden after the rain and talk, which is the most comfortable and comfortable thing for me. ”
Looking at the concubine beside him, Emperor Meng Zhao was infinitely tender, which was very different from the majestic appearance in front of everyone on weekdays.
To be honest, there are countless beauties in this harem, but only Ning Guifei can really show him a bit of real ****.
"The emperor has won the award, in fact, the concubine herself likes to walk in the garden at such a time. Washed away the lead, green, fat, red and thin, so clean that the concubine felt that the whole person had become ethereal, as if she could be integrated with these flowers and plants. ”
Ning Guifei had a soft smile on her face, which was even more delicate by the fresh beauty beside her.
The two spoke warmly, and the palace people behind them kept their distance and did not dare to disturb.
"Hey, isn't that Axia?"
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao saw the person in front of him and said a word to Concubine Ning.
"Really, why is this girl in a hurry today."
Ning Guifei looked at it when she heard this, and sure enough, she found that it was Meng Xia who was walking quickly towards this side on the opposite side.
As he spoke, Meng Xia also discovered Emperor Meng Zhao and his party, and originally planned to go to another road, but he hurriedly changed his direction and came over first to greet Emperor Meng Zhao and Concubine Ning.
"Axia, where are you going in a hurry?"
Emperor Meng Zhao asked Meng Xia with a smile, and looked at the teapot he was holding in his hand by the way.
There was nothing special about the teapot itself, but it was a little strange to be carried by Meng Xia in such a hurry.
Of course, Emperor Meng Zhao didn't specifically ask that, because it was the first time he saw Meng Xia in such a hurry.
Hearing the inquiry, Meng Xia subconsciously covered the teapot in his hand with his sleeve, and said with some embarrassment: "Father and mother are very elegant in appreciating flowers after the rain, Ah Xia was about to go to the third emperor brother, but I didn't expect to meet my father and mother here. ”
"The prince asked your third emperor brother to play chess, and he should have gone directly to the East Palace after the study today, didn't he tell you?"
Ning Guifei asked strangely on the side, as if she felt that something was not right with Meng Xia's words.
"Oh...... Yes, the Third Emperor Brother told me, look at my memory, I almost forgot it. ”
Meng Xia's expression flashed slightly, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable: "Fortunately, the mother reminded me, otherwise I would have been in vain." ”
"Are you in such a hurry to find your Third Emperor Brother?" Emperor Meng Zhao on the side naturally noticed Meng Xia's abnormality, and asked again.
"Back to my father's words, in fact, there is nothing particularly important."
Seeing this, Meng Xia hurriedly replied with a smile: "Today, Ah Xia has learned to shoot arrows, and the last arrow Ah Xia also hit the bull's-eye, and even Master Lin praised me for learning well." Therefore, I want the Third Emperor Brother to take the time to teach me an extra lesson, so that I can also take riding and archery lessons with the Imperial Brothers earlier. ”
"It's only the first lesson that you can hit the bull's-eye, and that's not easy."
When Emperor Meng Zhao heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Nengwen also needs to be able to be martial, my father is really right, our Axia is really ambitious." ”
After being praised by Emperor Meng Zhao, Concubine Ning also followed on the side: "You kid is studious and studious, but don't work too hard, you have to rest when you should rest, don't exhaust yourself." ”
"Thank you for the praise and care of my father and mother, Ah Xia will grasp the proportions."
Meng Xia bowed, looked at Emperor Meng Zhao and Ning Guifei playfully and said: "Today, it is rare for the father and mother to enjoy the scenery hand in hand, so Ah Xia will not bother too much and retire first." ”
"This kid ......"
was said by Meng Xia like this, Ning Guifei couldn't help but "blame" with a shy face.
Emperor Meng Zhao laughed, and generously stretched out his hand in front of Meng Xia to take Ning Guifei into his arms.
Although he felt that Meng Xia seemed to have deliberately avoided something, since the child didn't want to mention it, he didn't ask any more.
With acquiescence, Meng Xia was blessed again, and when he was about to leave first, he found that Liu Guifei was not far away with Meng Jin, and a group of palace people walking straight to this side.
Seeing this, Meng Xia subconsciously leaned behind Ning Guifei, and her face once again showed a bit of strangeness.
"Axia, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Ning asked puzzledly.
Even Emperor Meng Zhao was very strange, he didn't know how Meng Xia was already well just now, how could he see Liu Guifei and Meng Xia appearing and look like they were at the beginning.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Meng Xia whispered.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Guifei and her entourage had already arrived.
"Your Majesty, you can't listen to the words of the Ninth Princess, the concubine was worried that she would hide and suddenly find no one, but she didn't expect that she had already run to the emperor to sue the wicked first!"
As soon as Concubine Liu Guifei came over, she cried to Emperor Meng Zhao with grievances: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of Jin'er, administer justice to Jin'er, and don't let the Ninth Princess bully Jin'er with no one in her eyes!" ”
Seeing Liu's appearance like this, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help frowning: "What is Concubine Ai doing?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't you know that Jin'er was almost killed by the Ninth Princess just now!"
Liu Guifei was sad, and her eyes were red when she pulled Meng Jin.
At this moment, Meng Jin looked very frightened, and he shrank there cautiously and didn't dare to make a sound, and from time to time he glanced at Meng Xia on the side, but quickly avoided it, looking extremely scared.
Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao was also patient and asked again: "Jin'er, what's wrong?" Isn't it good, how can it be involved in Axia, and it is so serious? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know what the Ninth Princess told you, but the conscience of heaven and earth, the Ninth Princess's young mind is extremely vicious, if it wasn't for the palace people desperately stopping it before, the knife would have stabbed Jin'er a long time ago!"
Concubine Liu Guifei was extremely angry, and trembled with fear as she spoke: "The concubine implores the emperor to clarify the truth and give Jin'er justice!" ”
"Asha, what the hell is going on?"
Emperor Meng Zhao saw that Liu Guifei was in charge of the left sentence and the right sentence was fair, but he didn't let him fully understand it for a long time, so he simply looked at Meng Xia directly and asked him.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, Axia...... Ah Xia didn't know what Concubine Liu meant. ”
Meng Xia shook his head slightly, and directly denied the false accusation that Liu Guifei said: "Ah Xia has no malicious intentions at all, let alone did the slightest harm to the Fifth Emperor Sister, and asked his father to know the truth." ”
