Inside the hut, including the entire courtyard, no one could be heard except for the sound of the wind outside and the birdsong among the trees.

I sat on the edge of my chair, patiently waiting for the boy to reappear.

The tea on the table exuded a faint aroma of tea, and I sensitively lifted the lid and put my nose over to smell the taste.

Judging from this alone, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Whether it is snacks or tea on the table, it is undoubtedly a good configuration for the little palace maid who came to deliver flowers early in the morning.

But if you lend me courage, I won't eat or drink in this place.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the departing boy pushed the door open again.

He saw that I was sitting there in an upright posture, and even my back was kept straight, which may have been a little incommensurate with my own appearance, and it did not quite match the situation I had shown before.

He glanced at me with some surprise, and his eyes swept over the tea and snacks on the table, and he saw that there was no trace of movement.

"You come with me."

The surprise was only for a moment, and he immediately spoke, "The emperor has already risen, you go to the dormitory to send flowers." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back, as if his eyes were still glancing at the tea and snacks.

"Okay." I obediently agreed, and picked up the flower basket and followed him.

This time, I walked through the small courtyard to the side gate of the main building.

I really admire the doors in the palace, it seems that one after another, you can't finish it.

In contrast, the whole structure of Penglai Pavilion is much more appealing to me, although I didn't have the opportunity to go to the main building. But from a distance, it is also broad, not so many twists and turns.

Is it that people will also complement the place where they live, but this statement is somewhat debatable, at least the Penglai Pavilion is not under the master of the Lin De Palace.

Side door to enter. It is to the garden outside the main building of the Lin De Palace, the path winds like a stream of water, passing through the middle of the grass, although the flower and tree rockery is exquisite, but it is also too gorgeous and cumbersome.

From the moment I entered here, I unconsciously compared the qiē I saw in front of me with Penglai Pavilion.

Even if the rumors in the palace are groundless. can give someone a house like Penglai Pavilion to live in, what is the empress thinking, I really guess it's redundant.

I sighed and followed in the footsteps of the man in front of me.

Walking up the steps, I walked down the cloister and behind the boy into the dormitory. Along the way, I was thinking back to the maps of the Sealand Palaces that I had seen.

During this time, the places I have been to have an idea in my mind.

When the first time he entered the palace, the scope of his activities was very limited, and he was almost cramped in a training ground, and he couldn't even cross the hanging flower gate that the owner of the Lin De Hall had stepped on.

The expedition from the palace began when I walked out of the training ground, and then went all the way to the small courtyard behind the Lin De Palace. At that time, I was walking along the forest path next to the wall, but I never imagined that one day I would be in the inner courtyard of the Lin De Hall.

Recalling the route you took is like playing a coloring game on a map. Everywhere I went, I invisibly filled in the colors.

In addition to Penglai Pavilion, on the original map I saw, there was a place that was specially marked, which is a bit mysterious.

However, Lin De Hall is very clear. A few gates, a few yards. I can recall it.

So as soon as I entered the garden, I could judge clearly. This is the place outside the dormitory.

"You wait outside, I'll go in and report."

I obediently stood under the porch, and from this angle, I could see the occasional figure walking on the pontoon not far away.

It was one of the busiest roads in the palace, and almost all the palace people who traveled to and from various places would appear on that road, including the empress.

I suddenly thought of the one who lived upstairs in Lin Dedian, he was in a high place, and his vision was clearer, if the empress rushed to Penglai Pavilion from where she lived, wouldn't it be within his field of vision?

This thought flashed, and I had a feeling of indescribability in my heart, I was thinking, did Ji Jiu look like this back then?

No, at that time, there was no one in Penglai Pavilion, and Penglai Pavilion was still vacant.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and the boy hurriedly walked out and said in a low voice, "You bring the flowers in, and the emperor will tell you where they are placed." ”

Entering the main building, there was no one in the huge room, I looked around in surprise, stopped and listened, there was indeed no one there, whether it was a boy or a secret guard.

If it's beyond the range of what I can perceive, it's a superior person.

As I went up the stairs, I smelled a strange smell, as if something was mixed up.

It can be said that it is an aroma, it is a little stronger, and it can also be said that it smells of medicine, but for a while I can't make out the smell.

I traced the source of the smell, and at the table in the corner of the room I saw a small and delicate stove lit with incense, and the incense burning in the furnace drew me to come over and lean down and sniff.

After that, I judged that half of the smell in the room came from the incense burned in this incense burner, but what about the other half?

I was about to put down the flower basket in my hand when I suddenly remembered the purpose of my trip and couldn't help but pat myself on the head.

Fortunately, I am now outside the curtain of the dormitory, and the people inside should not be able to see my movements clearly, so I calmed down, walked to the place close to the curtain, and raised my voice a little: "See the emperor." ”

The etiquette training in the palace was not bad, so I came again according to the example of the female official.

No response!

I raised my voice again.

Still no sound.

I waited outside the curtain for a long time, but I didn't hear any movement inside, and finally I couldn't help but walk over and gently lift the corner of the curtain, but the room was empty.

I looked at the room in amazement, and I couldn't understand how the boy knew that there was no one here, and how he said that the emperor had just gotten up, and what was waiting to be summoned.

The gaze turned somewhere, and there was a slight pause that was almost imperceptible, and the next second. And he quickly moved away.

At this moment, I stood there with a confused expression and stood still for a short time.

I chose a place for the flower basket I was carrying, and then opened the veil on it, my hands trembling slightly. I took the pot of flowers out of the basket that I had expected.

I carefully picked it up and placed it on the table.

With my elbows propped up on the table, I carefully examined the potted plant with small purple flowers in front of me.

Before the crossing, the flower was used almost everywhere.

This includes bath gel and face soap. Tea bags for making tea, and even desserts are included.

But the original purpose of acquiring it is inseparable from the task it has to undertake now.

Calm the nerves, calm the mind, and help sleep, but it's on this otherworldly continent. Scarcity is expensive, and its value has become extraordinary.

The aroma slowly spreads, and the taste is stronger than I remember, probably related to the water and soil here, and also related to the careful care of Angelica dajica. "It's been blown too far." I looked at it for a moment, shook my head and smiled, and said to myself, "If only I could put a basin and fall asleep." I'd like to plant it too. “

Before that, I stretched out my knuckles and knocked on the table with a bit of a dazed heart: "How can there be such a god thing, it is all bluffing." “

Put the potted flowers away. I once again looked at the room in front of me with envy, it was really beautifully furnished, in line with my imagination of the harem concubine!

Look at the coral tree in the corner, I'm afraid it's worth a lot.

It was the first time I had seen such a beautiful and large red coral, and I couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look, but. Look, how does it look like it's carved? "I don't know why it's so expensive." I frowned. "Actually, it's been like that after watching it for a long time."

The eye was drawn to another thing in the room, a small painting hanging in a corner.

It's different from what I see in the cabin. I've seen calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in the Imperial City of Snow Country, but what hangs in front of me doesn't look like they can be painted by a master, but more like they started to learn halfway, and they are very loose with their pens.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that the people in the painting are very attractive to me, in the cold winter and snow, a pair of figures snuggling up to each other by the lake.

I whispered a word of admiration: "It's good to have a couple for a lifetime." "It's hard to find." I said melancholy.

Take a few steps back, and see that the time has passed for a while, and there is no one, it is time to go.

I was about to lift the curtain and go out when I suddenly caught a glimpse of another landscape painting hanging on the wall.

This is completely different from the double figure I saw earlier, and when I saw it, I knew that it was the same as what I had seen in the Snow Country Palace.

It is from the hands of the top folk painters, the scenery is beautiful, and the pen is old-fashioned.

However, I soon found the traces of the patch in the upper corner, and then looked at the payment below, and I stood there in a daze and remembered.

In the small courtyard, in the Scarface Man's workshop, I have seen many treasures sent from all over the Sealand Palace.

Many of them are calligraphy and paintings.

I have said that many of those calligraphy and paintings are very old, and because of the weather, poor storage, they are more or less damaged.

Sent to the scarface man, he was asked to mend it.

Although I have only been with him for a short time, I have observed his repair process several times, including the repair of calligraphy and paintings.

I searched for traces on the painting I saw in front of me, and sure enough, in the upper right corner, I found an imprint that required an extremely close look to find, and it seemed that it had indeed passed by the scar-faced man.

I said to myself in surprise: "I missed a corner, and I made it up?" Can't you see that Lin Dedian is still short of money? "Hmm," said a short laugh from behind the Four Seasons screen, accompanied by a gentle voice. "I was so frightened that I took several steps back, and in a panic I bumped into a coffee table, and then came across a pot of flowers that had been there before.

The flowers that I knocked down fell, and the leaves were scattered on the floor.

When the figure behind the Four Seasons screen came out, I was already kneeling on the ground with my head bowed, and my whole body began to tremble!

The sound of footsteps came slowly and stopped in front of me. "You look up." He whispered. (To be continued)
