The two chatted all the way into the garden behind the house.

The garden is very large, attracting living water from outside the house, enclosing a pool of turquoise lakes, planted with weeping willows and peach trees on the edge of the lake, lined with surrounding mountains and rocks, quite a bit of paradise taste.

However, it seems that it has not been taken care of seriously for many years, although it is clean and tidy, the flowers and plants do not grow very well, and some places are empty, thinking that the flowers have been removed after they have died, and no new ones have been planted.

The trees around the garden are luxuriant, such as acacia, podocarpus, boxwood, and cypress. A large bamboo forest in the west, phoenix tail, Nantian, Xiangfei, a large flower hall, one side faces the water, and the other side is reflected in the bamboo shadow and secluded fence.

Sima Yulou said with a smile: "There have been no banquets in the house for many years, my mother has no heart to take care of this garden, and the gardeners are not very careful. ”

Jin Yi was happy, when he was in the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, except for raising some potted flowers in the courtyard of Fu Jinxuan, the garden behind the mansion was never there. In the Changfeng Marquis Mansion, I really want to plant flowers seriously, but I know that it is not a place to live for a long time after all.

Now there is such a big garden waiting for herself to take care of, I can't help but feel a little excited, she already loves plants and flowers, at this time my heart is already thinking about it, the entrance of the garden is planted with a few Xifu begonias, there are orchids in the shade under the rockery, and some jasper plums are planted in the south next to the Lingxi Building, and in winter, you can enjoy the plum and snow upstairs, and plant some woods near the Qinxin Building where the concubine lives, and the fragrance can float to the building when the flowers bloom, and the concubine will like it......

Sima Yulou watched her walk around the garden with great interest, while discussing with Qiao Wei, the smile on her face was extremely bright when she said she was happy.

Jin Yi walked back, pointed to the flower hall by the lake and said to him: "When the garden is tidied up, you can hold a banquet in that flower hall in the future." ”

On the way back to Lingxi Tower together, Jin Yi said that the concubine invited the guests to come to the mansion for a banquet in a few days, and asked Sima Yulou, "Mother has been in retreat for many years, and now she looks at her old man's meaning, is to re-associate with the family in the city, is it because you are now a prince, right?" ”

Sima Yulou didn't answer her question, but just smiled and said, "Although my mother didn't go out of the house before, she was also deaf and clear-sighted, and she knew everything in the city in detail. ”

Jin Yi didn't ask again, but she had some doubts in her heart. In the past, the rumors about the concubine seemed to say that she was at odds with the old prince, and it was not easy for her to ask Sima Yulou about this matter, but she felt that the concubine seemed to have been worried, whether it was worried that the old prince's power would harm the present, or there was another hidden secret, Jin Yi couldn't guess.

Sima Yulou even told himself about Wu Xuanzhi, Jin Yi didn't think that he would hide his mother's thoughts from him, only maybe he didn't even know about it.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and put these thoughts away, unwilling to speculate on other people's thoughts in everything like she did with Xu and Qin Jinxiu in the past. No matter what, now that he is one with Xiaolou as a husband and wife, he has both prosperity and loss, as long as he tries his best to help him and do his wife's duty, it is enough.

Since the wedding date with him was set, Jin Yi rarely thought about Yekang.

In the past, I wanted to come to Jianye, I wanted to find out the truth about the destruction of the country, and I wanted to go into the palace to see Aunt Yu Ke and ask her why she didn't intercede with the emperor when Yekang was destroyed, even if it was to keep Yekang's royal city afterwards and not let it become a ruin.

But since he had seen the queen twice in the palace, Jin Yi suddenly felt that even if Yekang Wangcheng was not deserted, what could it do? Now there are only two royal bloodlines left in the world, whether it is the prince or his own children in the future, the eyes are only light purple, maybe in a few generations, the purple in the eyes will completely fade, and the bloodline of the Yekang royal family will disappear forever, and the Yekang royal city in the desert will become barren sooner or later.

Sima Yulou saw that she was depressed, and knew that she was thinking of Yekang again, and said softly: "I look at the emperor's attitude, it doesn't seem to be different from Yekang, once I talked to him about things in the Western Regions, he took the initiative to mention it, saying that the queen was a little homesick......"

Jin Yi suddenly looked up at him, his eyes full of doubt.

He smiled and continued: "At that time, you always suspected that I didn't let you enter the palace, because you had crooked thoughts, so you didn't tell you. …… In short, the emperor's attitude towards Yekang is quite ambiguous, and this matter still has to be investigated from Wei Yuanhou. ”

Speaking of this, he silently stared into the distance, thoughtful.

Jin Yi sighed softly, in fact, she also understood that it was impossible to ask the queen rashly about this matter, Weiyuan Hou was far away in the northwest, and it was not something she could do lightly to track him down, she didn't want Sima Yulou to worry about this, and her tone was a little more relaxed, "Let's not talk about this today, let's go back, I haven't taken a good look at Lingxi Tower." ”

Sima Yulou lowered his head to look at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, he reached out to caress the soft green silk on her sideburns, and suddenly stepped forward and kissed her round earlobe.

Jin Yi looked at Qiao Wei and Qian Mo in the distance in a panic, her pink cheeks were blushing, she stretched out her hand and pushed him, and said in a voice like a gnat: "If you mess around again tonight, I won't let you enter the house." ”

Sima Yulou's eyes were as bright as stars, full of smiles, "On the second day of the wedding, I won't let my husband enter the house, although my mother won't say anything if she knows, Yun Hui will definitely stumble on you again." ”

Jin Yi pursed her lips and glanced at him, "Then I'll send those two beautiful maids to your room." ”

Sima Yulou looked at her smiling face, and his laughter became clear, "I only have you in my eyes, what do you have to worry about?" ”

The corners of Jinyi's lips curled upward, and the blush on his cheeks was slightly flushed, pulling him to turn around and walk out of the garden.

Qiao Wei and Qian Mo were standing far away before, they were embarrassed to turn back, and only pretended to study the flowers and plants on the ground, and then saw that the two of them were gone, so they hurriedly chased after them and followed behind.

The garden is located in the southernmost part of the palace, and the courtyard of the inner palace is in the middle of the garden and the outer palace, with a total of 12 pavilion courtyards.

The concubine's Qinxin Building is a wooden building on the first and a half floors, the upper half floor makes an attic, there is a small Buddhist hall next to the building, and many phoenix tails are planted in the garden, which looks quiet and elegant, next to the back garden.

The Rufang Pavilion where Yun Hui now lives is close to the east of Qinxin Building, connected by a hand-copying verandah, which is the place where Yun Hui has lived since childhood, the courtyard of Sanjin, two tall Fu Banyan trees are planted in front of the door, full of small fans like pink velvet flowers.

From time to time, there were people dressed in stewards in front of the garden gate, thinking that they were coming to her to report the matter, but the two only looked at it from a distance, and did not go over, and turned their heads back to the Lingxi Tower. (To be continued.) )
