Chapter 2: Spring Encounter
"Little master, why do you look at this peach forest for a while and laugh for a while?"
Puyu smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered the past, and I have a lot of fate with peach blossoms in my life." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Aunt Mu and Puyu chattered about the origin of this peach forest, when the first emperor smiled for the Pomeranians, and did not hesitate to transport this peach tree thousands of miles to plant it carefully.
Puyu Waner, the first emperor galloped on the battlefield at a young age, and was middle-aged and wise. It turned out that the cold-faced emperor had also done such a romantic thing, but she had the impression that Concubine Zhen was short-lived, and she died just after giving birth to Song Jin.
Puyu sighed, as the old saying goes, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. Now that the Son of Heaven is no exception, the ancients really did not deceive people!
Aunt Mu seemed to sink into the memories of the past, her calm eyes contained a little sadness, and she said in a light tone: "Little master, in the future living in the palace, relying on your eyes to distinguish right from wrong will one day be blinded by appearances, you need to feel and observe carefully, remember not to believe the gossip of others, and don't give your heart to others easily." ”
Puyu smiled and thanked her aunt for the reminder, but she was shocked in her heart, and she affirmed what she thought in her heart, Aunt Mu was not an ordinary aunt, and she had a lot to do with Concubine Zhen. Along the way, she noticed that she and Aunt Mu walked through the corridor, and the other aunts she met on the way would salute Aunt Mu, in addition, this Aunt Mu knew about the first emperor and Concubine Zhen.
She is a newcomer and has no relatives with her aunt, why did her aunt remind her? Could it be that her personality charm made her aunt happy, and then kindly reminded her? Puyu felt that she didn't even believe herself when she said this reason!
The aunt looked at Puyu silently, with a serious thinking look, knowing that she was speechless, and quickly changed the topic: "It's good for the little master to remember, the hour is not early, the little master please come with the slave." "The Queen Mother once said that the little master in front of her is very similar to the little master of her family. She hurried to the little master. Time has passed, she still firmly remembers the color of her little master, which is a kind of stunning beauty that is unforgettable after witnessing, but surprisingly soft and gentle, and this little master is smart and transparent, with a mediocre appearance, and the temperament is graceful, and she gets along with a kind of casual and free, such as immersed in the spring breeze warm and comfortable. She didn't feel like the little master of her family, and she couldn't help but be slightly disappointed in her heart.
Puyu smiled gently, the smile flowed in the clear eyes, the landscape was thick, it turned out that it was not for her, it should be for her master.
Could it be that Aunt Mu came here specifically for her? This speculation made Puyu feel that the mystery in front of her suddenly became clear. As Aunt Mu, she will not be reduced to receiving newcomers into the palace, and only this explanation is reasonable and smooth. If this is the case, the abnormality at the palace gate just now has also been properly explained.
That is, she must be brought into the palace by Aunt Mu, and if Aunt Mu has not arrived, she may have to wait.
Then the question arises again, how can she, who is so ordinary, have the ability to attract the attention of the aunt in front of her?
Puyu hooked the corners of her lips helplessly, it was really messy to cut and untidy!
There was a lot of fog in his mind, and he still followed Aunt Mu as usual, and as Aunt Mu bypassed the peach blossom forest, he finally stood in front of an elegant courtyard, called "Nanxiang Garden". The South Chambers are located at the south end of the Imperial Palace, the South Chambers are small but very delicate and quiet, and Puyu follows Aunt Mu into the West Hall Pure Jade Pavilion.
Puyu was let into the hall and sat in the main room, Linglong Ling stood on both sides, and a palace maid offered tea. Aunt Mu summoned a palace maid and a eunuch from outside the door, and introduced them one by one: "This is the servant Green Branch and Fubao who serve in the South Chamber."
Green Branch and Fu Bao asked Pu Yu for peace, Pu Yu looked at the young and unfamiliar appearance, and after Pu Yu asked Green Branch Fu Bao some ordinary questions, Aunt Mu found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Puyu lives in the west hall, so there should be one or several little masters in the garden, and asked, "I don't know which sister lives in this palace?"
Green Branch happily replied: "The South Wing Garden is narrow, only the West Hall Pure Jade Pavilion, and the East Hall Warm Heart Hall. Li Cairen from the Warm Heart Hall in the East Hall just moved in this morning, and he will come to meet the little master later. ”
Puyu smiled and nodded, and the green branch introduced the situation in the palace to Puyu again, the voice was a girl's unique cheerful and crisp, like a cheerful yellow warbler, Puyu listened carefully and couldn't bear to interrupt.
From the mouth of the green branch, it is roughly known that the current saint, who is her nominal husband Song Jin, has not been drafted for four years since he ascended the throne, and now it is the first time, and it is held very grandly.
At present, there are three masters in the palace, namely the queen and the queen, and the late concubine and Ning concubine, and the others are all small masters with low status. The queen mother has the eldest princess and the second princess, and the others are nowhere else.
The queen is He Yuying, the daughter of today's Prime Minister He Cheng, with beautiful eyebrows, talented, wide and generous, and has been with the emperor for eight years. And the late concubine Jiang Wanyue is very beautiful, proficient in music and rhythm, and is also deeply favored by the emperor. Ning Concubine is also a charming city, and she has been favored since she entered the palace.
Green Branch also emphasized that the emperor prefers women with beautiful faces. Puyu was happy in her heart, and bent her delicate willow eyebrows. Her face can barely be regarded as beautiful, I am afraid that she will not be able to enter Song Jin's eyes, which is exactly what she wants.
When it was time for lunch, Green Branch still spoke very cheerfully, looking like I still have a lot of stories to tell you, and the quiet Fu Bao couldn't help but remind: "It's time for the little lord to have lunch." ”
Green Zhi was shocked that he had spoken too much, so he immediately shut up, raised his eyes and carefully looked at Puyu's expression, only to see that she was smiling shallowly, the mountains and rivers were clear, and her good impression of Puyu was spontaneous.
Green Zhi volunteered to prepare lunch for Puyu, Lingyan was a little uneasy, because Puyu was a picky eater, two of the five flavors did not like sourness, could not taste spicy, and only sweet, bitter and salty were left to eat. I had to go with Midori to prepare lunch myself.
Puyu was tired from the morning and went back to the inner sanctum to rest immediately after lunch.
Unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar bed, after turning over countless times, it is still difficult to sleep peacefully, the spirit is extremely excited, and the inner irritability is so irritable that it cannot be calmed.
Puyu walked to the window, stretched out her hand and slowly pushed the window open, the window was full of spring, and the warm spring sunlight in the afternoon was slightly tilted, projecting on the crimson windowsill, reflecting a yellowish halo.
Puyu sighed lightly, everything in the palace is meticulously crafted, and the palace rules are even more rigorous. After living for half a day, I felt that my mother was right, she was free by nature, and she would not be used to it in the palace. Fortunately, she never planned to live here for a long time, she just had to wait patiently, and when she found Yan Xi, and when she waited for a long time, she had not been graced to live like a weed, and no one paid attention to her and no one cared, she would leave quietly with Linglong Lingjing.
Linglong was still some distance away from the door, and came to the door quietly, afraid of the noise to the people who took a nap at noon, her young lady slept lightly, and she was even more aware of the bed, Linglong was worried that she couldn't sleep, so she came to accompany her.
Pushing the door softly, the person who was supposed to take a nap was now sitting neatly dressed in front of the bronze mirror, his plain white fingers pinching the wooden comb, combing it to the end of his hair.
Puyu turned her back to Linglong, but this did not prevent Linglong from knowing how embarrassed and helpless her young lady's expression was at this moment. Her young lady's hands can draw stunning and self-inflammating pictures, and she can't even comb the simplest bun out of her acquaintances.
Yan Xi Gongzi once made an incisive evaluation: "Puyu's hands are as strange as her sweet and bitter taste, and she is so dexterous that she can't hold her hair."
Linglong walked forward quickly to take the wooden comb, put her hair in a simple bun, glanced at the painting tools that had been packed up on the next table, and asked, "Miss, are you going out?"
Puyu nodded, at this time, the spring breeze is warm, the sun is not dry, and the scorching peach blossoms are close at hand, it is a good time in the world, how can it be easily disappointed.
Linglong is a little uneasy, has always loved to paint like an obsessed lady will be completely forgetful when painting, to reach the realm of no one, if you meet the emperor or several other ladies in the middle of painting, then what can I do?
In a word, it is a prophecy. A few years later, Linglong wanted to strangle herself.
Puyu understood Linglong's careful thoughts, bent her eyebrows, smiled clearly, and said, "I have a sense of proportion, don't worry." "How could she be willing to put her parents Puchen and their sisters, in danger of their lives?
Puyu silently examines herself, is she too obsessed with painting every day, so that they misunderstand this?
Linglong knew that she couldn't stop Puyu, they had eaten and lived together for all these years, she and Lingling had already deeply understood the stubbornness of her young lady, and the ten cows that decided might not be able to pull it back, so she had to take a step back and ask for the second: "Miss, can I go out with you?" ”
Puyu was speechless, looking at Linglong quietly, Linglong raised the three fingers of her right hand with a vow, and said confidently: "I promise not to disturb Miss by talking, stay quietly by Miss's side, and see how beautiful the peach blossoms are in this palace." ”
Puyu took care of her own painting tools, did not give any words, and went out alone.
Linglong is impatient, she needs a very long time to paint, and her previous experience tells Puyu that if Linglong says this, she can believe half of it, and if Linglong ignores it.
If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.
Puyu walks in the peach blossom forest, the fragrance of peach blossoms permeates the entire forest, the pink petals disappear with the wind, like a pink spring rain, melodious lingering, incredibly beautiful, the pink petals fall into the blue grass, the stars are just right. Finding a bluestone table, Puyu happily put down the paper, ink, pen and inkstone in his hand, spread the drawing paper on the smooth bluestone table, and lifted the paintbrush.
The flowers pass away with the wind, and the footsteps slowly approach with time. Puyu had no idea that someone was waiting for her for a long time. After the painting was finished, the footsteps continued, Puyu turned around and saw him walking from under a peach blossom tree, white boots stepping on the peach blossom mud on a place, with a full fragrance, the pace was calm, and his expression was as usual, without the slightest embarrassment after peeping at others, like a hero who stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds to return.
Beautiful scenery, peach blossom beauty. Puyu didn't want to appreciate it, she just wanted to leave quickly, because she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Ignoring it, he turned around silently, lowered his head and continued to pack up his painting tools, and the edge of the table was a pair of silver-rimmed white boots and a dark white robe with a dark pattern.
