Chapter 21: Moonlight on the Lotus Pond

The lotus pond of Kun'an Palace, as well as the rockeries, pavilions, and small bridges on the shore, have all been built. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info lotus pond is full of lotus flowers, the small pond is planted with water lilies, the small pond is connected with the lotus pond, there is an arch stone bridge above, bent like a half full moon in the sky. Although the area is not very large, it is ingeniously built with meandering, connected by waterways, and the boats go around, row through the water lilies, cross the small bridge, and pass through a few tall lotus flowers, which seems to have a cave.

On the arch of the bridge, there are four words "moonlight on the lotus pond" written in a flowing manner, the word is smooth and flying, and the tone is frustrated, and the moonlight of the fifteenth, the lotus pond under the moonlight, the boat in the lotus pond, is very commensurate.

The boat was small, but it was beautifully built, with smooth and simple lines, a raised bow that loomed like a proud dragon's head, carved with patterns on the sides and water ripples below, a wide stern and a wide hull, waist-high sides of the ship, and a very smooth sailing. There was pulp on the boat, but no one needed to row it, and it was led forward by a rope.

There is a pair of handsome men and beautiful women sitting opposite each other on the boat, the male is tall and mighty, the female is fresh and lovely, the boat shuttles among the lotus leaves, teasing the colorful lithium that comes and goes in the water, and the clouds like fine yarn in the sky, the round moon entwined with the clouds, the virtual and real scene under the moon, the sound of silk and bamboo intermittently outside the scene, the whole picture is a thick and faint ink freehand painting.

As soon as Zitang returned to Kun'an Palace, she was pulled to the lotus pond by Li Haotian, who was waiting at the door, to show her the well-customized new ship, and then pulled her on board the ship domineeringly, and let the guards pretending to be slender men drive the boat.

"What did they talk to you about?"

He asked casually. He wasn't curious, he could imagine the sour words of those women, and he also believed that Zitang could easily deal with it.

"It's just to show me how much they were favored by the emperor." and how unreliable her favor is like the snow on a spring day.

"What, jealous?"

"Nope."

The ridicule in Li Haotian's words made Zitang take a deep breath and slowly spit it out, wanting to spit out all the boredom in his body.

"I just sympathize with them. Lonely days are always long and difficult. After all, there is only one man in this harem, and you seem to be too cold about them. ”

Li Haotian stared at her intently. Yue'er walked through the clouds, half-hidden, and the lights on the shore were mostly obscured by the shadows of the trees, and the light on her face was a little dim. Her expression was a little elusive in the shadows, but you could hear that she spoke in a very serious tone.

She is indeed very generous, so generous that he admires it, makes him look at him differently, and makes him very unhappy with her generosity.

"Well, since Concubine Ai is so considerate of others, she has a bit of an adult beauty. I'll just remember to correct it in the future. This is a bit angry, and even a little gnashing of teeth.

His angry appearance made Zitang couldn't help laughing, but the smile was a little bitter, and his heart was even more mixed.

The bright moon was in the sky, getting rid of the entanglement of clouds and mist like a veil, and the clear and bright light was sprinkled all over the ground.

The men on the shore pulled the boat silently, leaving a shallow ripple behind them.

Zitang mantis lowered its head, pursed its mouth and was silent, letting the cool wind of the night stir her hair at will.

She bent down suddenly, and broke the silence with a rattling sound with her hands.

At this time, she seemed to have returned to the little woman she saw when she first met, with a touch of melancholy and sorrow, like a trapped butterfly, struggling hard, wanting to break free, and continue to sway the rest of her short and brilliant life.

But those struggles were doomed to be in vain.

He sighed secretly, pulled her into his arms and asked:

"What are you thinking?"

With a touch of sorrow in this way, she can always tug at his tense heartstrings, making him want to throw away all his calculations, just want to smooth out that sorrow.

At this time, Zitang was sensitive, and his emotions were too dangerous, but the hazy moonlight and her under the moon made him can't help but indulge himself.

Zitang relaxed his body and leaned on his arms, looked up at the sky, pointed to the bright moon and chanted softly:

"The moon is cloudy and sunny and the moon is lacking, and people have joys and sorrows."

"Today you accompany me to admire the moon, I don't know who will accompany me in the next full moon?"

Zitang suddenly turned over and sat up, his eyes just staring at him brightly, as if he wanted to engrave him into his mind, and as if there were many mysteries to solve.

The clear and crystalline eyes were full of confusion at this time, and the shadows were all his figure, and without thinking, Li Haotian blurted out:

"Don't worry, every year, as long as the moon is full, I will accompany you."

Zitang's body suddenly stepped back, turned his head and looked at the shore.

"Your Majesty, don't take such an oath lightly. I'm just afraid ......"

"Why, don't you believe me?"

Her distance made Li Haotian a little displeased, and his voice became colder, he stretched out the sleeves of his robe, and his tall figure suddenly stood up.

The boat had slowly sailed into the shallow water close to the shore, and by his sudden movement, it began to shake violently, Zitang felt dizzy, and her stomach seemed to turn over the river and the sea, and a violent nausea made her fall on the side of the boat and retch.

"Cardamom, what's wrong with you?"

Li Haotian leaned over to help her up, and hugged her emaciated body in his arms with both arms, but when he saw that her face was pale, and even the blood on her lips was very pale, he suddenly changed color in surprise:

"Someone, pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
