Chapter 45: The Spectacle
As soon as Duan Min heard the words "Cao Yuma", his face was red from his hairline to the root of his ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She was about to tear Xuanhui's mouth, but seeing that Xuanhui was hiding too quickly, she hurriedly put her hand on the back of Xuanhui's head, afraid that she would hit the wall of the car. Xuanhui rolled into Duanmin's arms and laughed breathlessly: "It's really my good sister!" Look at you so distressed Shu'er, when you get to Nanyuan, my sister will go to find out Cao Yuma, at least he is handsome or ugly to find out! ”
Duan Min saw that she was still talking, so she reached out to itch Xuanhui, and itched Xuanhui so much that she begged for mercy. Duan Min smiled: "See if you still talk nonsense?" It's only you and me, if you are listened to by others, you will laugh at the royal princess for having no rules. ”
Xuanhui got up from Duanmin's arms, straightened his clothes, and asked, "Does anyone dare to point at us and make irresponsible remarks?" ”
Duan Min looked helpless and said in a low voice: "It's not our good aunt's previous troubles. ”
Xuan Huiqi said: "What's the matter? Why haven't I heard? ”
Duan Min said: "How old were you then?" The fifth brother was not born at that time. Li Juma quarreled because his aunt disrespected her in-laws and was not allowed to take concubines if she had no children. In a fit of anger, my aunt moved to Cining Palace with the county lord and lived in Cining Palace for a long time. I didn't think that the father of the horse was angry and afraid that the queen mother would blame him, so he couldn't afford to fall ill under the blows of the two phases. My aunt didn't go back until her father-in-law was dying, and just after the funeral, her mother also died. The people in Beijing spread the rumors that the aunt was not a good aunt, was not filial, had no children, was jealous, and all of them were guilty of seven crimes. In the end, it was pulled to the royal princess who was arrogant and did not abide by the women's road. ”
Xuan Hui was speechless: "I didn't expect there to be such a thing back then!" Looking at my aunt's current appearance, her temper has subsided a lot. ”
Duan Min pouted and said: "That's natural, I've lost a lot, I have to have a longer memory!" After that, she took Xuanhui's hands and said seriously: "So, even if we are princesses and proud daughters of heaven, this human righteousness must always be observed." You can be less restrained in small things, but you can't go wrong with big pleats! ”
Xuan Hui smiled: "Eldest sister, I know. You should really go to Chengqian Palace every day to accompany my mother, you two will definitely be able to talk together! ”
The sisters talked and laughed all the way, and the car drove to Nanyuan.
As Duan Min said, Nanyuan is the largest royal garden near the capital, covering an area of more than 5,000 acres. Emperor Taizong built only a small part of it, under the careful management of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Nanyuan expanded to today's area, not only there are mountains, rivers and lakes, pavilions, flowers and trees, but also for the emperor and the princes to practice riding and archery for the martial arts field. Extending from the northeast corner of the South Garden, there is a large paddock with deep grass and lush forests. Among them, there are various animals that are raised by the Kamibayashi Yuan Bureau, and they can be sent to the palace garden at any time as a viewing area, and can also be used as a hunting ground.
Xuanhui went all the way, only felt that the autumn breeze was blowing, and it was really a beautiful day and a pleasure. She and Concubine Xian lived in the Apricot Blossom Hall in the southwest corner of Nanyuan, not far from the Qinxian Hall where Emperor Yuan and Emperor Yuan lived. The other accompanying princes, ministers, guards, and adult princes all lived in the east of Nanyuan, across the lake from the west where the emperor's concubines lived.
After settling down in the Apricot Blossom Pavilion, Xuanhui watched Concubine Xian instruct the minions to clean up the house. After a while, she got tired of it, so she coquettishly said to Concubine Xian: "Mother, I haven't been to Nanyuan for a long time, and I feel that this place is the same as never been!" Can I get around? Just for a moment! Or maybe I went to the third brother and asked him to take me around, okay? ”
Concubine Xian smiled: "I knew you couldn't be idle. Well, you go out to play, let Jingyun accompany you, and save you from taking the group of immortals around you to fool around. ”
Xuanhui stuck out her tongue, thanked Concubine Xian, and ran out with her skirt.
To get to where Liang Zan lives, you have to first bypass the Jade Lake, which is located in the middle of Nanyuan. The master and servant walked for a while and were a little out of breath, although it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sun in the day was still very poisonous. Cai Wei couldn't help but ask, "Princess, I see that there are a lot of beautiful scenes over there in the Apricot Blossom Pavilion." Or let's sit on the edge of the Jade Lake and watch the fish. At this time, there is a lot of chaos everywhere, looking for a soft sedan to carry you over, but there is no one. ”
Xuanhui said: "You don't understand this. There are many places that I can't go to alone. If the third brother is with me, there are not so many people in charge. Two extra steps doesn't get in the way. ”
After another cup of tea, the group arrived at the Wuling Pavilion where Liang Zan lived.
Wuling Pavilion, as the name suggests, is surrounded by peach trees, and there is also a water source from the Jade Lake. Xuan Hui and the others had just bypassed the peach forest, but they ran into Pei Minzhong, who also came to find Liang Zhan. As soon as he saw that it was Xuanhui who came over, he was overjoyed, but when he glanced at Xuanhui, he saw an older palace maid behind him, and he knew that it was Concubine Xian who was waiting. Therefore, he strode over and respectfully gave Xuanhui a salute.
Xuan Hui smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that this guy had seen things clearly and could guess Jingyun's identity. She also returned the salute, and then said with a smile: "Pei Shizi is looking for the third brother?" It's a coincidence, I'm about to ask the third brother to take me for a walk in Nanyuan in the afternoon! ”
Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "This doesn't hinder it. His Royal Highness King An only ordered me to come over at this hour, but he didn't say what it was, I didn't think it was an urgent matter, and it would not delay the princess's business. After that, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and winked at Xuanhui.
Xuanhui's face was slightly hot, and she knew in her heart that Pei Minzhong had something to say to her, so she turned back to Jingyun and the others and said, "I heard the third brother say that there is a small flower behind this Wuling Pavilion, called Lily of the Valley, you all go and find it for me, pick two bunches and come back, let's put it in the Apricot Blossom Pavilion and insert the bottle." The people answered, and went their separate ways.
Xuanhui glanced at Pei Minzhong, then looked away again, only stared at the ground, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, there is no one at this time." ”
Pei Minzhong was curious about what she was looking at, and looked to the ground, but there was nothing. He instantly thought that he was afraid that Xuanhui was shy, after all, he hadn't seen each other since the last time the two parted. His expression also became unnatural, and his ears were red, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "The murder case of the Ministry of Officials to the Zhongzhong family has been solved, and the princess must have heard about it. I am mainly here to thank Princess Xie for her guidance, if not, I am afraid that the case will be closed in the long run. ”
Xuanhui looked up at him and smiled, "You don't have to thank me. I am in the minds of some villains, hoping that the son of the world can repay the favor and do things for me. Not now, though, and I'm not sure when. Whenever you need it, I will go to you. ”
