Lingnan Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the early spring of March, the palace garden is already full of flowers, such as graceful peonies like noble ladies, delicate camellias, delicate and cute cyclamen like rabbits, and slender spring flowers cultivated on both sides of the road, etc., just like a layer of colorful brocade, which is beautiful.
Among the flowers, on the path paved with soft stones, a beautiful woman wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket and a silver ratskin cloak slowly walked by, and the peony bun made her look like the person in the painting. The woman affectionately held a delicate girl in a light blue smoke cloud butterfly dress. Behind him was a group of pink-clothed maids, who held a tray in their hands with all kinds of exquisite satin jewelry.
"My son, don't go back this time, but I know that the concubine is looking forward to you day and night. Look, I haven't seen you for a month, and I'm getting thinner! The woman looked at the girl carefully with a distressed face.
"Mother! When you're done with this, you won't leave again, okay? The girl was helpless, but she also knew that the woman felt sorry for herself.
You've said that more than ten times! How can the concubine believe you? The woman was dissatisfied, and she said the same thing when she returned, but she broke her promise.
The girl kept silent, it was indeed her fault, but she had a last resort. The plan is nearing completion, and there is no room for error, otherwise all the work done will be lost.
The girl glanced back at the object in the maid's hand, and when she returned home, she happened to meet the woman returning from shopping. playfully changed the topic: "Mother, these are for Sister Yunzhi?" Do you have my share? ”
"You monkey, you will be in a hurry! Didn't you come back smelling? Come! Look at what you like, you don't need much for your Yunzhi sister, but I just like it and buy it. The woman nodded the girl's forehead and said lovingly.
"It's not, my son is a living immortal in the world, and if I count it today, I will get double benefits, and I will happily come to you, the god of wealth." The girl raised her head proudly.
"It's really cheap and good!" The beautiful woman laughed and scolded helplessly.
"Princess! Princess! An old and hurried call came from afar.
"Mama Liu! What's the exclamation? The beautiful woman was dissatisfied with the old lady disturbing the warm atmosphere of their mother and daughter, and rebuked angrily.
Mama Liu ran closer and said breathlessly, "The prince is looking for you to meet the holy decree!"
"Got it. Shadow, go wash it up. In the evening, our family went to the other courtyard and asked the white housekeeper to send someone to fetch some game and come back, and have a reunion dinner together. I can tell you that I will stay a few more days when I come back. The princess held the flower and didn't let go, as if she was afraid that she would run away again.
"Okay, just say yes!" Hua Langying helplessly watched the princess grasp herself like a child, and did not let go, so she had to agree.
In the front hall of the palace, after the incense was burned, Situ Mo, the king of Lingnan, together with the princess Xu, his young son Situ Yu, and Hua Langying, who was wearing a light green scarf, respectfully knelt in the middle of the empty hall to welcome the holy decree.
Seeing that everyone had already knelt down, the eunuch said in a shrill voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Situ Yunzhi, the eldest daughter of the king of Lingnan, the lord of Minghua County, is virtuous and virtuous, and has a dignified character. Mu Chenyu, the son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful and intelligent. The two are talented and beautiful, which is really a match made in heaven. The two of them are specially ordered to get married on a certain date, and they are not disappointed! Announce to the world, let the salty make it known! ”
When the Lingnan princess Xu heard the decree, she didn't let out an exclamation, and her eyes were dizzy.
"Mother!" Situ Yu and Hua Rongying exclaimed in surprise and held the Lingnan princess.
The king of Lingnan bowed with a gloomy face and thanked the Holy Grace and accepted the holy decree. Seeing this, the eunuch said to the king of Lingnan with some helplessness: "The holy lord has ordered the county lord of Minghua to enter Beijing alone to prepare for marriage on the same day. The saint also knew that the county lord was not in good health, so he ordered a comfortable carriage to be made, and sent two accompanying medical officers, ten attendants, and three hundred Praetorian Guards to escort him. ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" The king of Lingnan knew that this father-in-law was reminding him that the lord of Minghua must enter Beijing.
"This is the Lord of Minghua?" The father-in-law looked at Hua Langying and asked. At this time, Hua Rongying was helping the princess to be sent to the cabinet with all the maids, ignoring others.
"No, the little girl is frail and sickly, and she is recuperating in the mountain courtyard at this time, this is the righteous daughter adopted by the king and the princess when they first arrived here, and her surname is Huaying. The tired father-in-law stayed for a few more days, and the king will go to pick up Minghua tomorrow and return home. ”
"The prince is benevolent, our family's surname is An, and now he is working under the head of De. Lingnan bandits are rampant, and Beijing often hears that the prince cleaned up the deeds of Lingnan bandits, which is really admirable. The father-in-law said almost as soon as he spoke.
"It turned out to be Anchang Temple, the white housekeeper has already arranged the housing, Anchang Temple has worked hard all the way, and let's rest first." When the king of Lingnan heard this, his eyes turned cold, and he sent away his father-in-law.
When the servants disappeared from sight with the father-in-law and others, the King of Lingnan said to the white steward in a gloomy voice: "You send a few masters to check around Mingze City, but there are people who are unknown and have martial arts!" ”
The white housekeeper answered "yes" and immediately went to make arrangements.
King Lingnan looked at the sunny sky outside the hall, which was already gray at this time, as if he was about to brew a storm, and sighed helplessly: "What should come is coming after all!" Some old accounts should also be settled! ”
