Chapter 21 Encountering the Old Man in the Garden of Ten Thousand Springs
Since yesterday Yongkang Palace came back, the first time he slept a good night's sleep, after the crowd dispersed, how the master and servant were carried out tragically, she didn't take a second look, but away from the snow, not afraid of the dirty eyes staring at the dead, Yi Xi knew that she was afraid that yesterday was a dream.

Jun Yechen's actions were all unexpected by her, in other words, this man never seemed to do things logically, and he could never understand what he was thinking about.
But Yan Xi thought about the whole thing carefully, and came to an 80% conclusion, that is, I am afraid that it is just by the way to avenge Liyue, this man is actually borrowing her hand, and it is justifiable and does not damage his face, except for the woman who cuckolded him, it's a pity that Liu Rushuang, until she died, she didn't know that the person who wanted her to die was actually someone else.
The Queen Mother was sympathetic to the lack of one person in Jinyun Palace, and specially asked someone to send a palace maid over, calling Lingping, who was younger than Lixue and them, after all, it was the people around the Queen Mother, and she always felt that she couldn't get close, and she looked like she was submissive, so she really didn't know what to arrange for her to do, so she asked Lixue to take her everywhere to get acquainted, and then let her do it in the future.
Today, the servants of Jinyun Palace are all dispatched, cleaning inside and out, sprinkling water, and Lixue claims that this can remove bad luck. Seeing that the weather is really good, these messy things have been done one after another recently, and I want to go out for a walk to relieve my boredom.
Lixue wanted to come out with him, but he repeatedly promised that he would just go to a nearby small pavilion for a turn, and he would return in a moment, and Lixue was a little relieved.
Out of Jinyun Palace, Yi Xi thought that it was the time of spring warm, I don't know if the flowers in the nearby garden have bloomed, so I turned a corner and walked in the opposite direction, far away from Jinyun Palace, there is a small garden, Wanchun Garden, I don't know who gave this name at the beginning, it sounds a bit of the name of a brothel, and Ji Xi feels a little funny.
There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted in the Wanchun Garden, but unfortunately it is still in the early spring, many are still in the bud, only some of the vigorous things that look at the cold are still a piece of verdant and tender green, adding a lot of color and brush, not making this Wanchun Garden fall into a withered image. There is a rockery in the garden, the workmanship is careful, it looks like a variety of strange real stones, stacked obstacles, very ethereal.
I don't know if everyone has lost interest in this garden, or if this garden has always been like her Jinyun Palace, it is very deserted, and the garden is empty except for her.
It's a pity not to enjoy such a moment, and it's a pity that the river hasn't enjoyed it for long, when she was interrupted by an abrupt male voice, which scared her into a spirit, and she was planted from the stone bench first, and the person who responded very quickly helped her to block her embarrassment of landing.
The fragrance on the man's body is not the emperor's today, after Yan Xi stood firm, he immediately kept his distance from the visitor, and looked up, this look surprised her very much, it turned out to be Jun Xiuling.
She didn't have a sense of disgust for Jun Xiuling, although he was not good at words, but it made her feel close, when she went to Changhe Hall that day, his words were actually kind persuasion, but she couldn't listen to it when she was angry, and she also spoke coldly to him, and now that she thinks about it, she can't help but feel a little guilty.
He wanted to salute, but he interrupted: "There is no need to be polite, this king doesn't like these false courtesies, but all true respect is in the heart, and these false courtesies are just for outsiders to see." ā
Ji Xi smiled, it seems that this Jun Xiuling is also a person of temperament, "The etiquette is a little empty, but the most exquisite in this palace is probably this etiquette." ā
When Jun Xiuling heard this, he looked at each other and smiled at those clear eyes.
"How did the prince come to this garden?"
"This king came out of the mother's harem, walked casually, and walked into this garden, thinking that the scenery in this garden could change a little, so he walked in, but he didn't expect you to be here." Jun Xiuling told the truth.
The Chenghua who always follows him on weekdays is not around, Yan Xi wanted to ask, and felt that he was gossiping, so he swallowed the question directly, Jun Xiuling saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to go around alone, so I sent Chenghua back to the house first." ā
A sentence pierced the gossip in his heart, and Yan Xi smiled awkwardly, and said casually: "Chenghua's temperament is a little similar to the prince. ā
"For as long as I can remember, Chenghua has been following me, protecting me thoroughly, and I am many years older, and my temperament is more calm than me, so if there is anything that scares you a few days ago, I will compensate you on his behalf, don't take it to heart." Jun Xiuling didn't know why, in front of her, a word I could say so freely.
Yan Xi had already forgotten the events of the day, who would have thought that he would still take it to heart, and hurriedly said: "The prince hasn't blamed me yet, how can I blame him, he is also the protector of the lord, it should be forgivable." ā
"If you talk about the protector, those girls around you are also very sincere, and it is not in vain that you have suffered those ten boards for them." Seeing that Xi Xi was surprised, Jun Xiuling explained: "I don't know how many people have passed on your board, I know it's normal, I knew it was so, I shouldn't have written that letter to guide you to the Wuxiu Palace." ā
Letter? Ji Xi comprehended and said in surprise: "That letter was written by you, Lord Wang?" With such an extraordinary font, Yi Xi expected that he must be a knowledgeable person, but he didn't expect that it would be Jun Xiuling who secretly helped her.
Gratitude arose, although the two were not very familiar, but Jun Xiuling helped her again and again, so that Xi Xi was ashamed, that day in front of the Changhe Palace, she actually had such an attitude towards him, Fang wanted to apologize to him, and heard him say: "You went to the Changhe Hall that day, I thought about whether I could stop it, but I didn't expect your temperament to be so stubborn, fortunately, you didn't suffer any harm, otherwise, I should regret it now." ā
Hey? He was a little bit embarrassed, he couldn't touch that sentence and should regret it, he didn't know how to explain, but looking at his appearance, it was not malicious, but it seemed to have touched his heart somewhere, his expression was a little heavy, and he seemed to be sentimental, such an expression was somewhat similar to the love of children, without royal domineering, which made their conversation a little more cordial, and he forgot to accept it after being curious, and he couldn't help but ridicule: "The prince seems to be thinking about the person in his heart?" ā
Jun Xiuling was stunned, there was a melancholy between his eyebrows that he hadn't felt for a long time, and said lightly: "Yes, she was indeed the sweetheart of this king, like you, although she is not the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, but she is smart and beautiful, delicate and lovely, and she has learned a martial arts, and her heart is also extremely kind, but there is only one thing, that is, she has a stubborn temper, but whatever she decides, it is difficult for anyone to change." ā
No wonder, Ji Xi thought in his heart, no wonder he saw her that day, his eyes were always a little sad, maybe he saw someone thinking of another person.
"That day, he heard that I was fighting on the front line, and left the palace overnight without telling the guards, and came to my tent, no matter how I persuaded her, she refused to leave my side until death, and had to follow to the front line, in desperation, I had to let Chenghua follow her all the way, for fear that she would be hurt, but ......"
He heard a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"It's just that she was really too stubborn, leaving Chenghua's protection, and when the enemy's arrow came over, she blocked in front of me, and that arrow ...... I could have been able to get out of the way, maybe...... Maybe she was too scared...... If you're afraid, you can't take care of anything...... This king also promised her that day, and after the triumph, he would marry her into the door, and let her be the wife of my Jun Xiuling. ā
What a poignant story, I used to see it in the book, and it was the living protagonist in front of me, but unfortunately the heroine was no longer there, otherwise Yan Xi really wanted to visit her in person, to see if her appearance and temperament were really as attractive as Jun Xiuling described, if it was true, maybe she would marry her as sisters.
With such a handsome man being so sentimental in front of her, Yan Xi's heart seemed to melt in an instant, and even his tone became more and more gentle: "Although the beauty has passed away, but the prince has been so affectionate to her, if she knows about it, she is also grateful, don't be so sad, the matter has come to this, it is better to let go." ā
After a long time, the man opposite realized that he was a little out of shape, rubbed his wrinkled brows, and a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "You're right, it's time to let go, I somehow remembered this matter today, and let you listen to a sad thing, it's really the king's fault." ā
Ji Xi felt that Jun Xiuling really made her hate it, no matter what the situation, he always put himself on the wrong side, such humility and courtesy, compared to the high-ranking Jun Yechen, it was simply a world of difference, when she thought of the unpredictable expression that seemed to be smiling all day long, the more she felt that Jun Xiuling made her like to be closer.
During the conversation, Jun Xiuling suddenly put his index finger to his lips, and Yan Xi immediately closed his mouth, pricked up his ears to listen, and felt that it was not good, what kind of evil wind was blowing today, why did Wanchun Garden, a place where no one came for a long time, suddenly appear noisy human voices, and it was getting closer and closer to this Wanchun Garden.
It's fine if Yan Xi or Jun Xiuling are here alone, but the two of them are here, and they can also explain a thing or two in modern times, but in the era when a few more words between men and women may be able to fall into the pig cage, Ji Xi's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but fall on Jun Xiuling's body for help.
Jun Xiuling didn't have time to speak, nodded at her, and disappeared in front of her eyes with a little foot, and Yan Xi didn't have time to appreciate this mysterious light skill, calmed the spirit, and sat on the stone bench indifferently.
