Chapter 270: Watching Fireflies Night and Night
"The girl doesn't have to follow anymore." Qingfeng said to Jinxin.
Jinxin naturally knew that Huangfu Changyuan was inside, and he was afraid that he wanted to get along with Lu Mingyue alone, but he was also worried about Lu Mingyue's safety, after all, this was the palace.
Jinxin saw Qingfeng's calm expression, and knew that Huangfu Changyuan must have secretly sent someone to protect this place, so he said, "Okay, I'll accompany you as a door god." ”
The two of them stood outside the door, not knowing what was going on inside.
Lu Mingyue carried the lantern and found that Jinxin did not follow, and it was not strange, so she continued to walk forward, after all, this place was unfamiliar, and she didn't know where to go, but she just relied on the light of the lantern and followed the road under her feet.
Lu Mingyue heard the sound of water, and the name of this place was "Qingshui Garden", it seemed that there should be a canal or a small lake or something, so Lu Mingyue looked for the sound of water.
The sound of water is getting closer and closer, Lu Mingyue carried the lantern and walked all the way to the place where the sound of water came from, and there was indeed a canal here.
Lu Mingyue carried a lantern to shine nearby, but she didn't see the figure of Huangfu Changyuan, nor did she see a single figure, except for herself.
Lu Mingyue used the faint light of the lantern to vaguely see the zigzag canal, the water flowing downstream, and in some places of the canal, there were still lush reeds.
Lu Mingyue was curious, "Is there really a canal in this palace?" "I think there shouldn't be such a place in the palace.
Lu Mingyue was thinking about it, and suddenly felt a change in the reeds, and suddenly a burst of light flew up from the reeds and flew towards Lu Mingyue.
Lu Mingyue looked at the starlight flying in the sky, it turned out to be fireflies, thousands of fireflies, instantly illuminating this place.
Lu Mingyue turned her head and saw Huangfu Changyuan standing not far away, looking at her gently.
"Calling me, but you hid." Lu Mingyue knew that it was Huangfu Changyuan who wanted to surprise her, but she said it on purpose.
Huangfu Changyuan walked towards Lu Mingyue and said, "I'm afraid that if I startle these fireflies, Yue'er won't be able to see them." ”
Huangfu Changyuan can speak, and he wants to please Lu Mingyue.
The corners of Lu Mingyue's mouth smiled happily, I don't know if it was what Huangfu Changyuan said that made Lu Mingyue smile, or the fireflies in the sky that made Lu Mingyue smile.
walked in, and Lu Mingyue found that today's Huangfu Changyuan was wearing a snow-white robe, which was much more elegant.
Huangfu Changyuan walked in front of Lu Mingyue, took the lantern, and blew it out, leaving only the light of fireflies, which was indeed beautiful.
Huangfu Changyuan looked at Lu Mingyue's white clothes, and then looked at his own, he deliberately wore a white dress today, just to match Lu Mingyue.
Surrounded by fireflies, the two white clothes are particularly dazzling in the dark night, and seem to have become the focus of the world.
"Yue'er, is it good-looking?" Huangfu Changyuan asked Lu Mingyue expectantly.
Lu Mingyue nodded: "Hmm." ”
Huangfu Changyuan saw Lu Mingyue nodding lightly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "It's good if Yue'er likes it." ”
"Why is there a canal in this palace?" Lu Mingyue asked Huangfu Changyuan curiously.
Huangfu Changyuan smiled softly and said: "The first emperor once planted grain in the palace, and this place is quiet, it is a rare place in the palace, and it has not been changed, so it has stayed. ”
"I see." Lu Mingyue then looked at the fireflies flying in the sky again, flashing with a faint light.
And a large number of fireflies gather together and light up a large area of the sky, and what used to be weak can become very powerful when gathered.
Jinxin and Qingfeng guarded outside the "Qingshui Garden", and when they looked up, they saw that there was a fluorescence in the sky above the "Qingshui Garden".
Qingfeng looked happy, presumably happy for Huangfu Changyuan, while Jinxin frowned, "This Huangfu Changyuan plays these tricks, will the young lady be tempted?" ”
Lu Mingyue and Huangfu Changyuan stayed in the "Qingshui Garden" and did not come out until the child.
After Huangfu Changyuan accompanied Lu Mingyue out, he sent Lu Mingyue back to the "Huafeng Palace", but he did not stay in the "Huafeng Palace", but returned to the "Huayi Palace" by himself.
"Is there anything wrong with Huangfu Changyuan asking Miss to go to 'Qingshui Garden'?" While serving Lu Mingyue to sleep, Jinxin asked Lu Mingyue.
Lu Mingyue glanced at Jinxin and said, "Look at the fireflies." ”
"Oh." Of course Jinxin knew, and said after making the bed: "He's quite romantic." ”
Lu Mingyue stared at the back of Jinxin's bed, Jinxin turned around and met Lu Mingyue's indifferent eyes, so she asked casually, "What does Miss think of me?" ”
"You're weird." Lu Mingyue said calmly.
"Am I wondering? Have it? Jinxin's eyes dodged, and he came over to help Lu Mingyue widen his clothes.
Lu Mingyue let Jinxin help him loosen his clothes, and said softly: "No matter how good he is, how good he is to me, he is the king of a country after all." ”
When Jinxin heard Lu Mingyue say this, her heart was obviously more steady.
The king of a country has too many responsibilities, just look at Nangong Jue, this is not what Lu Mingyue wants.
After Jinxin gave Lu Mingyue a wide dress, he served Lu Mingyue and fell asleep, while he stayed outside and slept.
On the second day, Lu Mingyue rose at sunrise as usual, and was ready to go to bed at sunset, when the breeze came again.
"The monarch invited the queen of the country to go to the 'Qingshui Garden' to get together." Qingfeng said to Lu Mingyue.
Didn't you just go last night?
Although Lu Mingyue was not very happy in her heart, she still agreed: "Okay." Then I followed the breeze and went to "Shimizu Garden" again.
Qingfeng and Jinxin are still guarding the door of "Qingshui Garden", and Huangfu Changyuan and Lu Mingyue are still inside the "Qingshui Garden".
When he was a child, Huangfu Changyuan sent Lu Mingyue back to the "Huafeng Palace", and he himself returned to the "Huayi Palace".
This time Jinxin was really a little curious, did Huangfu Changyuan ask Lu Mingyue to see the fireflies again? Judging by the fluorescence in the sky above "Kiyomizuen", I think so.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, Huangfu Changyuan asked Lu Mingyue to go again, which made Jinxin stay outside the door of "Qingshui Garden", and when he saw the fireflies in the sky, he couldn't help but be a little confused about what Huangfu Changyuan was going to do.
And what made Jinxin even more strange was that Lu Mingyue went one after another, and she didn't seem to be impatient at all.
Lu Mingyue went for two more days, a total of five days, Jinxin couldn't help but ask Lu Mingyue curiously: "Miss, he asked you to watch fireflies every night, aren't you tired of watching them?" ”
"I'm tired of watching it." Lu Mingyue sighed.
"And you're going every night?" Jinxin wondered.
"Go and listen to his story." Lu Mingyue rubbed her temples, she didn't want to know about Huangfu Changyuan, but Huangfu Changyuan talked to Lu Mingyue about his past every night, which was really a headache for Lu Mingyue.
"Storytelling?" Jinxin muttered, speculating in her heart, "What are you talking about?" Speaking of himself? ”
Lu Mingyue thought about it, Huangfu Changyuan had already talked about his coming-of-age ceremony, and in a few days, he would be able to finish the story, and stay up for a few more days, now is not the time to offend Huangfu Changyuan, and there is also the matter of Concubine Lan, I am afraid that I will annoy Huangfu Changyuan at that time.
"I'm almost done." Lu Mingyue said.
Jinxin nodded: "Okay." "Let Huangfu Changyuan and Lu Mingyue take a look at the fireflies again.
Huangfu Changyuan asked Lu Mingyue to come out these nights, and he was also a cover-up, but unfortunately he was discovered by Li Concubine, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was wandering blindly.
After Li Concubine knew, she still pretended that nothing had happened, and every night, Li Concubine secretly followed Lu Mingyue behind her, until Lu Mingyue entered the "Qingshui Garden", Li Concubine waited outside the "Qingshui Garden", and she did not leave until Huangfu Changyuan and Lu Mingyue came out to leave.
Concubine Li secretly followed for two days, and she knew that Huangfu Changyuan was originally pleasing Lu Mingyue, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Concubine Li has always been itchy these days, and her skin has red spots.
"It's so itchy, let's get rid of it." Concubine Li scratched the itch and called the palace maid.
The palace maid hurriedly took it to stop the itch: "Little master, the itch is here." ”
"Put it on for me." Li Concubine said anxiously.
"Yes." The palace maid hurriedly sprinkled the itching relief on the red spots on Li Concubine's body, and Li Concubine felt that her body was not so itchy.
The palace maids are all wondering, why there are so many red spots on the little master of Li Concubine recently, as if she was bitten by mosquitoes, but they have already smoked the palace with medicinal incense, there should be no mosquitoes, even if one or two tenacious mosquitoes enter the palace, it will not bite Li Concubine to the point that her whole body is full of red spots, it is really a terrible mosquito.
Li Concubine saw that she had a lot of red spots on her body, especially on her face, so she hid in her room for the past few days, unwilling to go out.
Even went to the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye, but excused himself with his illness.
Two days have passed, and the Queen Mother has sent someone to see how Concubine Li is doing.
"Little master, the Queen Mother has sent someone to see you." The palace maid came in to report to the concubine.
Concubine Li hurriedly pretended to be sick, lay on the bed, and lowered the curtains.
"The slave and maid see the little master, the queen mother specially asked the slave and maid to visit the little master, how is the little master's body, it's no big deal." A palace maid from the queen mother's side came in and saluted Concubine Li.
Concubine Li hid on the bed behind the curtain, pretending to cough twice: "Cough, cough." ”
The queen mother's palace maid hurriedly asked Concubine Li: "Little master, have you asked the imperial doctor to come and see you?" ”
"Look, the doctor said that it was just infected with wind and cold, and there was no big problem." Li Concubine said in a low voice.
The queen mother's palace maid pondered, how could she be infected with wind and cold on such a hot day, "Is it heated?" ”
The queen mother's palace maid saw that Concubine Li was indeed fine, so she expressed the queen mother's concern and went back to report to the queen mother.
After the queen mother heard the palace maid come back to report, she felt that this matter was a little strange, thinking about it, Concubine Li was the most concerned about her body, why did she suddenly catch the wind cold, and it was a hot day.
And even if it's hot, won't Concubine Li find a cool place to stay?
The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Li's illness, so she asked someone to inquire about Concubine Li's palace.
After inquiring, I learned that Concubine Li was bitten by mosquitoes all over her body and was reluctant to come out to see people.
