Chapter 26: The Cicada Singing Forest is Quiet

readx;

Early the next morning, when Yunyang was still dressing up, a eunuch from the Imperial Palace Bureau sent the queen's decree, and ordered Du Yunyang, the scrivener, to be the head of the autumn equinox regatta and oversee all matters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yunyang accepted the order, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sui Su looked at Yunyang's expression on the side, and whispered: "County Lord, don't be in a hurry to get angry, you can go to the Imperial Mansion Bureau to resign from this matter in a while." ”

Yunyang shook his head: "No. Since I have already responded to this matter, there is no reason to retreat. Besides, as a courtier, this is also my duty. Pushing three and pushing four makes people laugh. ”

After breakfast, Yoon Yang had to go to the Hook and Shield Bureau to take stock of the items that could be used in the regatta. If there is a defect, it should be repaired as soon as possible.

Because he was walking in the inner court, Yunyang did not wear an official uniform, but put on a bamboo blue embroidered moonlight peony makeup satin jacket outside the regular clothes.

After putting it on, Yin Lu looked up and down beside him and admired: "If you want to say that this dress is plain, it shows a good complexion that the county lord's rouge can't adjust." went out like this, like the first peach blossom in March. ”

Sui Su accompanied Yunyang to the Hook and Shield Bureau, and the two of them walked out of the palace gate of Qiao Palace, and slowly walked forward along the willow embankment by the Tianyuan Pool.

At this time, the morning glow shines on the water, the willow is soft, and there is a splendid wood hibiscus on the opposite bank of the smoke wave.

The waterfall on the edge of the West Sea is facing the rising sun at this time, like a water satin shining with golden light. In the midst of the steam, a rainbow spans the waterfall.

Yunyang found that this morning's waterfall was not as majestic as it was when he first saw it, so he asked Sui Su why?

Sui Yun pointed to the boulder rockery behind the waterfall and said, "Look, county lord, these rocks are empty, equipped with two large waterwheels, and there are mechanisms for opening and closing. ”

"The large waterwheel can direct the water of the Abyss Pond to a high place, and the opening and closing mechanism can control the flow of the waterfall. The flow of the waterfall varies depending on the weather and the time of day. These are managed by the Hook and Shield Bureau, which we're going to go to in a moment. ”

Yun Yang nodded and made a note of the incident in his mind.

After walking a few more steps, I saw a few figures faintly in front of me, surrounding a large willow tree, and I didn't know what they were busy with.

As the distance got closer, it gradually became clear that Qu Jun was catching autumn cicadas with a few little eunuchs.

Several little eunuchs each held a green bamboo pole more than a zhang long in their hands, and the head of the pole was surrounded by iron wire and coarse white linen to form a net bag.

"This way, a little higher!" Qu Jun was standing next to him, pointing with his fingers.

When Yunyang saw this scene, he always felt a little unnatural: "According to Qu Jun's status in Longkang Palace, how could he put down his body and do such a thing?" ”

"Besides, compared to Longkang Palace, this place is further from Qiao Palace. Could it be that the queen hates the noise of autumn cicadas, and wants to drive away the autumn cicadas next to Qiao Palace? ”

"It seems that the queen was afraid that I would find it difficult, so she went to the Imperial Bureau to resign from her errand, so she sent Qu Jun to guard the road that must be passed early. In that case, I went to tease him and see what he could say. ”

Thinking of this, Yunyang lowered his head and smiled, raised his hand to let Sui Su support him, so he walked over in a delicate manner.

Qu Jun naturally had long been paying attention to the direction of Qiao Palace, and when he saw a slow, weak willow figure approaching, he knew who was coming.

For a moment, he couldn't help frowning.

But soon, Qu Jun hid his unhappiness, and greeted him with a courteous smile as he usually saw: "Lord Scrivener, I haven't seen you for a day, your complexion is much better!" ”

Yunyang returned the salute and smiled, but did not speak.

Qu Jun was a little embarrassed, so he had nothing to say: "This autumn cicada is really annoying, and it keeps screaming all day long." The queen can't take a nap, so she didn't send the old slave to do this. ”

Yun Yang looked at the busy little eunuchs and said, "Gonggong Qu has worked hard, not only to worry about Longkang Palace, but also to catch all the autumn cicadas in Qiao Palace, it's really not easy." ”

When Qu Jun heard this, he didn't know what her intentions were, so he had to respond: "Being an errand in the palace is naturally as meticulous as possible." The old slave couldn't tell where the autumn cicada was, but he knew that since he saw it, he had to catch them all, so don't make a big noise. ”

Yun Yang pursed her lips and smiled: "The queen mother has such a competent person as Gonggong Qu to serve her, and she will definitely have a lot less troubles." ”

As she spoke, she walked forward, as if she were about to leave.

When Qu Jun saw it, he was a little anxious, and secretly thought: "It seems that she is going to push off the errand on the grounds of physical discomfort." The queen sent me here early to stop this, so I can't let her go. ”

So, Qu Jun had an idea and said loudly to the little eunuch who caught the cicada: "Don't patronize the one who catches the scream, the one who doesn't scream is powerful." ”

"It flies so far and so fast that you think it doesn't scream, but it screams louder than these ones!"

Hearing this, Yunyang naturally stopped.

Qu Jun didn't seem to notice this, but continued: "This cicada was specially raised in the yard by the queen mother some time ago. It's good to eat and drink, and treat each other politely, how do you know that it wants to run out! ”

"Where can you run away, it's not the end of being caught again. It's just that this time it's caught again, but it doesn't have the same treatment as before, whether it's dead or alive, but I can't help it anymore. ”

Yunyang listened to it very well and knew who he was talking about with a gun and a stick. However, Yunyang was not annoyed, and looked at him with a smile: "Gonggong Qu, it's not worth it to make a big fuss about an autumn cicada in the morning, or the body is important." ”

Qu Jun hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "What the adult said is right, the old slave is so old, he can't hold his breath, it shouldn't be." Ashamed, ashamed. ”

"Gonggong Qu is busy. I also have to go to the Hook and Shield Bureau to check the items for the regatta, if there is a shortage, I have to prepare early, right? After saying that, Yunyang turned around and left.

Qu Jun was stunned for a moment in the back, and hurriedly said, "Adults are not too hard, but you have to pay attention to your body." ”

After walking for a while, Sui Yu saw that he was far away, so he asked in a low voice, "County Lord, why didn't you tell him about our going to the Hook and Shield Bureau early in the morning?" Save yourself from listening to him for a while. ”

Yun Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If not, how can we know how much the queen cares about this regatta." How do you know what the queen's attitude is towards our Qiao Palace. ”

After listening to this, he opened his eyes and asked, "What is the queen's attitude towards us?" ”

Yunyang looked at her, the pear vortex on her lips flashed, but she didn't speak.

At this time, Yunyang only felt that his heart was a little heavier than just now.

Qu Jun, who was not far away, was still looking at Yunyang's backs, and saw that they had finally turned into the road to the Hook Shield Bureau, so he was relieved.

Although he was relieved, Qu Jun secretly thought in his heart: "Look at this Du Yunyang, don't look at his age, but his mind is dexterous, even I was surrounded by her." ”

"The queen mother has known the emperor's thoughts on her since the day she entered the palace. But no one has said anything about this now, so I can only pretend not to see it. ”

"This regatta is a good opportunity to pull her to the Queen's side, whether soft or hard. When she is favored, she can do something big for the queen. ”
