Chapter Twenty-Nine: Blossom Viewing Party
Yanran refused to participate, since she was designed by Concubine Jing'an to fall into the water last year, she has developed a phobia of this kind of gathering of women in the palace, and she no longer wants to take risks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But Minglang was begging and cheating, and he had to take her with him, and he said that he hadn't taken her to any public meetings so far, and he was so sorry for her. She really couldn't shirk it, so she had to agree.
On this morning, the weather was fine, the Imperial City Garden was dressed up, all kinds of flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance hit people. The willows are breezing, the birds are dancing, and the scenery is romantic in the depths of spring. In the middle of a lawn in the garden, a stream of clear water flows by. Seven-colored curtains were hung over the lawn and pond to shield from the sun and allow light to breathe. There are two rows of tables in the curtain, which are full of fresh melons and fruits, sweet and attractive. The four concubines were dressed up in flowers, and took their respective maids to enjoy the flowers, see the scenery, laugh, and eat melons and fruits in the tent.
After a while, the emperor appeared in a light blue robe, with the dim purse still hanging from his waist. followed by Yanran in a pink dress. Minglang's original face was white, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, lined with this green grass and flowers, soft and sunny, it was really handsome and handsome, clear as jade. He originally came with Yanran's hand, but Yanran refused to be led by him, and deliberately fell a few steps behind. Although her clothes are simple, her complexion is bright, like a lotus flower. The two walked one after the other, and the fourth concubine hurriedly met them, and fell to the ground with a coquettish voice. Minglang was in a very good mood, and with a flick of his hand, all four of them stood up straight. Then the four concubines consciously saluted Yan Ran, and Yan Ran stepped forward to pull up the four of them, and smiled for a while.
Yan Ran is the first time to see Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu. The virtuous concubine is graceful and dignified, and the concubine is delicate and elegant, but her face is not very good, I think it is because she has just come out of the cold palace. Concubine Xian smiled and said to Yan Ran: "It's our rudeness, the county lord has been back for many days, but he hasn't visited, you must not be surprised." ”
Yan Ran said a few polite words, and then took Concubine Shu's hand: "Niangniang should take care of her body." What kind of medicine do you usually use? ”
Concubine Shu knew that this county lord was proficient in pharmacology, so she let her pull the pulse, bowed slightly and said: "This body and bones are nothing, but I didn't give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor, and I was uneasy. On weekdays, I only eat some bird's nest ginseng and other things to maintain it. ”
As soon as Yanran took the pulse, she knew that she was suffering from qi and blood deficiency, so she said: "The bird's nest is okay, the ginseng can be stopped, use more red dates and wolfberry stew to drink, and walk around the garden if you have nothing to do, and it will naturally get better." ”
When the concubine saw that she was serious, she thanked her happily and asked the maids around her to remember the instructions of the county lord.
Concubine Lu Wan'er came over, although she was pregnant, she was not pregnant because of her petite body. She smiled and took Yanran's hand: "County Lord, we once had a relationship, do you remember?" ”
Yanran smiled: "Why don't you remember?" Your Emperor was chased through the streets, and you were one of the chasers! ”
Behind him, Minglang looked at them with a smile, full of joy.
Lu Wan'er blushed and said, "Sister, let's go over there and talk, don't let the emperor listen!" "Let's just pull Yanran and run. Yanran was worried about her pregnancy, so she had to run with her, and when she turned around, she saw that Minglang was still standing in place and looking at her.
Lu Wan'er pulled Yanran to the edge of the tent and said, "Sister, the emperor really likes you, don't you consider joining us?" ”
She has always spoken so straightforwardly, and she is not afraid to sting others.
"I'm already married, don't say that!"
Lu Wan'er looked at her in surprise with a look of pity: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Sister, you know what? Although the emperor has the four of us, his heart is not in us, and the nest fights we have made are only pitifully trying to attract his attention, even if he glances at us, we are satisfied. But he really only has you in his heart! ”
Yan Ran shook off her hand: "I'll go over there and take a look, I'm missing!" ”
"Sister!" Lu Wan'er stopped her, "Since your heart is not here, then how can you appease him?" His heart is empty, and someone always needs to fill it, have you considered this? ”
Yan Ran slowly understood what she meant: "Are you willing to make up for it?" ”
Lu Wan'er nodded: "I really love him, not because of his status, but because of him as a person." I wish I had a place in his heart. Sister, can you help me? ”
Yan Ran looked at her longing eyes and shook her head resolutely: "I can't help you." Niangniang, emotional matters are too complicated, you can only fight for it yourself. I can't control anybody else's. I'm sorry! ”
Lu Wan'er slowly retracted her expression and looked at her silently without speaking. Yanran turned around and walked slowly to the edge of the pool.
On the other side of the pool, there were a few maids throwing stones to play at this time, and Qinglian Momei was also among them, and when she saw her master coming, she wanted to go around and accompany her. Yanran waved her hand and let them continue playing. Like the pond of the Tsukizhao Imperial Palace, this pond is also home to koi fish, chasing and playing under the lotus leaves. The handmaidens play a game farther than who throws the stones. They are raised in the deep boudoir on weekdays, and an individual is delicate and timid, and they can't go far, so you blame me and I laugh at you, and after a while, except for Lu Wan'er, the other three concubines were also attracted and joined the game of throwing stones together. Because there were so many people, the stones flew towards the pool like rain, and the attendants gave them pebbles one by one, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
As he was watching, he couldn't help but catch up with a pebble as big as an egg "whooshing" and flew towards his face. Yan Ran was caught off guard, but her body reacted instinctively, and she leaned back suddenly, narrowly avoiding the stones, but suddenly a person rushed behind her: "County Lord be careful!" His hands pushed her diagonally, and she was crooked again, and she was about to fall into the water. Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts, and immediately tried her best to shake her body, and tried her best to resolve the power of leaning back and oblique pushing, but she always lost her balance under her feet, and staggered into the pool water to stabilize her body, and her feet to her calves were completely submerged in the water.
Qinglian Momei screamed, and Lu Wan'er behind her also covered her mouth and shouted: "County Lord, County Lord I'm sorry!" I didn't mean to! ”
"Girl!" Another shout came. Minglang was peeling grapes on the table and wanted to leave them for her to eat, when he suddenly heard the noise here, stood up and saw Yanran in the pond, and immediately rushed over. A handful lifted her out of the water.
The two guards of wind and rain also jumped down from their respective invisible trees at this time, and when they saw that Minglang had already taken out the princess, they stopped.
Minglang looked at the eye-catching pebble behind him, his face was pale, and he shouted: "Come on, tie up all these sluts!" ”
The four concubines were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, we are wronged!" ”
Ming Lang shouted: "Such a big stone, if it wasn't premeditated, this kind of accident would never have happened!" Find out, all over the house! ”
His face was fierce, his voice was cold, the fourth concubine had never seen him like this, and he couldn't help but lose his face with fright, trembling and unable to speak anymore.
The first time he brought her out, he expected her to smile happily and find a sense of existence, but he didn't expect the fourth concubine to point the finger at her. Today's cobblestone accident may have other, more unpredictable accidents tomorrow. He couldn't even give her a minimum of safety, which made him deeply angry.
Yan Ran was shocked and immediately said, "Don't blame them, it's really an accident!" ”
Minglang stared into her eyes: "Was it really an accident?" ”
Yan Ran nodded resolutely: "It's normal to throw stones and lose your head, and Concubine De just wants to remind me." I accidentally stepped into the water myself, why do you mess with weirdos! ”
He looked at her silently, knowing exactly what she was thinking. She doesn't have a sense of existence here at all, she's just an outsider, so she wants to be peaceful. After a long pause, he sighed. The chamberlain had already brought a stool, he sat down and put her on his lap, reached out and took off the wet shoes and socks on her feet, wrung out her wet trousers, rolled them up slightly, and said to Qinglian: "Go and get a pair of clean shoes for the county lord!" ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Yanran was ashamed and annoyed, her body was about to go to the ground, and she said angrily: "Without shoes, how can you come down?" Don't move! After that, he covered her legs with the hem of his clothes, reached out to cover her **** snow-white feet, and used the heat in his hands to drive away the cold for her, while casting his eyes on the kneeling fourth concubine.
The fourth concubine watched in amazement as he rolled up her trousers, took off her shoes and covered her feet, and took a breath of cold air in her heart. They knew that he was hiding her in his heart, but they could no longer imagine that he could spoil her like this, and their faces suddenly changed, and they were afraid after regretting it, and their eyes looked at her with other meanings.
"From today onwards, they will stay in their own palaces and repent, and they are not allowed to go out for half a month!" His cold voice came. She could forgive them, but he knew the purpose of each of them, so he had to be punished as a warning.
"The concubine obeys!" After the four concubines thanked them aggrievedly, they each withdrew with their maids, and a flower-viewing party ended hastily.
After a while, Qinglian brought clean shoes, and Minglang put them on for her personally. That's when she stood up.
Minglang also stood up and said, "You are still kind!" This must be something that some of them have bad intentions and are deliberately trying to target you. Why don't you let me look it up? ”
"They are your concubines, what if you find out? Is it to close the cold palace again? Minglang, you are their God, you should treat them well, so that they will not be jealous and hurt each other, if your mind is not on them, there will be more and more such things! ”
Minglang put his hands behind him and said slowly: "You said that if you want me to be your sky, I will only be your sky, as for them, I have long been disappointed." There was a dark tide in his eyes: "I admired them, and even tried to love them, but soon found out that they all just wanted to monopolize me and then seek the benefit of their mother's family." All four of them are like that! It seems that I am surrounded by pearls, but in fact, my heart is in the desert, and none of them can give me what I want. Girl, do you understand the loneliness and pain! ”
"What do you want?" (To be continued.) )
