Chapter 169: Plum Garden

There are only people living in Kunning Palace and Cining Palace in the harem of Nuoda, and the little palace maids who come out dare not stop outside, and there is often no one on the road, and they faintly hear the voice coming from the cold palace, which is very cautious.

The plum blossoms in the back garden are still delicate, and in previous years it was the favorite place of the concubines, but this year no one appreciated it.

The little palace maids who took care of the garden were shivering in the snow, and today's heavy snow had dropped a lot of plum blossoms, and some of the flower branches looked very ruined, and they were pulled diagonally.

Their job is to cut off these broken flower branches one by one, and then put away the excessive and scattered petals all over the ground, which will not affect the interest of the girls.

But there are only two ladies in the entire harem, and they don't like to go out, and no one comes anyway, so the little palace maids discussed it and went back lazily.

Half an hour later, two people came from the snow.

One of them, dressed as a palace maid, stopped at the entrance of the garden with a lamp in his hand, and let out a "Huh? Puzzled, and then looked left and right: "Where are the palace maids who guard the garden?" ”

The whole garden was empty, and some of the lanterns on the road were extinguished.

The woman behind the palace maid smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, it's so cold, and no one comes, they probably all went back to their rooms to rest." ”

The woman who spoke wore a phoenix on her head, wore a luxurious dress with heavy overlaps, and wore a fox fur coat, which was the only lady of King Sheng, Mrs. Yan.

She has always liked simplicity, and she dressed so ceremoniously today because King Sheng invited the ministers to a banquet, and she had to participate. But she really didn't like that kind of atmosphere, and seeing that the banquet was going on for more than half of the time, she brought a personal palace maid out to breathe.

I have long heard that the plum blossoms in the back garden of the palace are very beautiful, and hundreds of plum trees are competing to bloom, which is not much worse than the purple and red in spring.

When she was thirteen years old, she was finally able to follow her father to a state banquet, but she slipped halfway through, just to sneak to this back garden to have a look. It's a pity that he took a fork in the road, and he was arrested before he could find it.

How could she wander around the palace at will, her father was afraid that she would make trouble, so before the banquet began, he ordered someone to send her home.

Walking slowly inside, the plum blossoms are indeed very vigorous, but the flower branches are a little messy, some of the plum blossoms on the top have been knocked off, leaving only an empty calyx, and some have lost a few petals, which looks very weird.

With a light sigh, Mrs. Yan picked up the broken petals on the ground one by one, picked up a handful but felt that it was useless, and the broken flowers could not be put back. Spread your hands and let the petals drift away in the wind.

"Mother, is it cold?"

Lian Ning, who was holding the lamp, was a little anxious, and came out in a hurry and forgot to bring the stove.

Mrs. Yan shook her head, and at this time, a man hurriedly walked over, dressed in bright yellow clothes to show his identity, and the palace maid hurriedly retreated to the side.

Chu Jingcheng put Mrs. Yan's hands in her hands, "Why is it so cold, Lian Ning"

Mrs. Yan grabbed Chu Jingcheng and said, "It's nothing, I picked up plum blossoms just now." ”

Chu Jingcheng looked at the remnants of plums all over the ground, and his face darkened, "Why is it so messy, where are all the people?" ”

Lian Ning knelt on the ground and said, "Slaves and maids go and call them." ”

Mrs. Yan hurriedly said, "Don't go, you get up first." ”

Then he pulled Chu Jingcheng to the side, "I'll just come out to relax, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, we still have a banquet, of course the palace ladies have to steal half a day." ”

Seeing that Chu Jingcheng's face was still not good, Mrs. Yan changed the topic and said, "The dinner is over?" ”

Chu Jingcheng nodded, in fact, it was still a little close, but it was also the end, and it would be good to let the father-in-law announce the end in a while.

The cold wind was a little cold, and Chu Jingye hugged her into his arms.

Mrs. Yan leaned on his chest, looked at the plum blossoms and said, "I followed my father to the palace at the age of thirteen, and I ran away to see the plum blossoms. Who knew that the plum blossom didn't see it, but it touched you. ”

Chu Jingcheng smiled, "Then I really thank God for not letting you find plum blossoms and let you meet me." ”

Mrs. Yan nestled in Chu Jingcheng's arms and smiled sweetly: "But what I want to see more is plum blossoms." ”

That year, she took a fork in the road and almost broke into Kunning Palace by mistake.

Because there were also a few plum trees planted in Kunning Palace, the fragrance wafted to the outside of the wall, she did not go to the main entrance, I didn't know that this was the palace wall of Kunning Palace, and thought that this was the plum garden, so she climbed the wall to climb in to see.

They were all about to climb up, when a boy below said, "What are you doing?" ”

She fell off in shock, and her ass was about to break in half.

She rubbed her ass and stood up, seeing that the little boy was dressed as a prince. There are many emperors and princes, and there are several of them of the same age, and she can't tell which prince it is.

The prince in front of her had a serious face, as if she had done something heinous. The people in the palace are like this, there are too many rules, why don't you just climb the wall to see the plum blossoms, and you don't climb the wall of your house.

At that time, she didn't know that this was actually the wall of his house, the bedroom of his mother, Empress Wen.

Although it's nothing to climb the wall, she is the daughter of a dignified country, and it makes people laugh when it spreads.

Before coming, my father was instructed by a thousand times, and the emperor allowed officials above the third grade to bring their families this time, and everyone else brought their sons, only the father brought his daughter, which will inevitably attract attention, but there can be no mistakes.

"What's your name?" The prince began to ask for guilt.

"My name is ......"

"Huh!" She looked behind the prince with a surprised expression, and took advantage of the prince's turn to slip away.

Fortunately, she had good legs and feet, and she ran fast, and as soon as she ran out of that place, she was caught by her father's people.

A few years later, she broke into King Sheng's mansion with a long whip, only to learn that King Sheng was the prince she met by chance.

A cool breeze blew, Mrs. Yan shrunk her shoulders, and Chu Jing admitted: "It's cold, do you want to go back?" ”

Mrs. Yan said: "It's a little cold, this palace is too deserted on weekdays, and I don't even have anyone to talk to." Heard...... The daughter of Mrs. Sima's family, Xiuwai Huizhong"

Chu Jingcheng's face turned cold and interrupted her: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Oh, everyone knows this, no one in Qianning City knows that Mrs. Sima's family has a daughter who is captivating the country and the city."

"Did the queen mother tell you something?"

I don't know if it was because of the cold wind or what, the woman in her arms trembled slightly and didn't speak.

Sima Taifu is an important minister in the court, Zhang Taiwei is gone, Han Xiangguo does not support King Sheng, and only Sima Taifu can be relied on among the three princes.

Sima Taifu broke up with King Han because of his daughter's affairs before, but Sima Taifu is extremely deep and cunning, if Chu Jing can marry his daughter, Sima Taifu will naturally be loyal to King Sheng.

Wen Yantian is exactly this calculation, and Mrs. Sima does not object, and even took the initiative to mention his daughter at the dinner tonight.

Mrs. Yan nodded lightly and let Chu Jing walk back with her in her arms. (To be continued.) )
