Chapter 118: Birthday (II)

Xingzhao looked back at Empress Fang for advice.

Queen Fang smiled and teased her: "The little lady also has a caring handkerchief." I haven't seen each other today. It is estimated that Huanyi wants to wish you a birthday in person, take Lianyu with you, don't walk by the water, don't go deep in the grass, the heat is heavy, there are mosquitoes, snakes and rats carefully, remember to come back early" and told Lianyu: "Take care of the girl, Huanyi is a demure, but she can't do anything out of the ordinary." I'm afraid that there are still the second and fourth children around him, and the second child is a lawless person, so I'm afraid that he will take advantage of his birthday to pull the little lady to join in the fun. If the two princes are also there, hurry up and let Ah Yu come back first. ”

I was happy and not at ease, and I brought some feelings about the beginning of a girl in my family.

Empress Fang, such a resolute and intelligent person, can now think about things off the rails - no matter how much the second prince does as he pleases, he can't use the name of Huanyi to fake the holy decree!

Besides, she is not Min Jirou

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled, blessed himself out of the Fengyi Palace, went back to the Guiyi Pavilion to change his clothes again, thought about it, and took a cinnabar red peace charm pressed on the bottom of the case - the six princes went far away, and Huan Yi and Concubine Shu were not very at ease. simply gave Huanyi the peace charm that Dingguo Temple begged for, so that she also had a comfort in her heart.

The night dissolved, and the narrow palace road quietly leaned forward, stretching deep, Xingzhao thought about it, the past and present lives were combined, and she hadn't seen much of the palace at night. Qi Wan walked in front with a sheep's horn, and there were two rows of Han brick lampstands in front of the red wall glazed tiles, which was about the reason why the lamp was dark, and Xingzhao and his party walked next to the lamp. It didn't cast a shadow on the brick floor. On the contrary, the shimmering light stretched the humble lampstand long. It looks like a tower, and from another angle, it looks like a wild goose spreading its wings.

The palace pays attention to "white and bright nights", as soon as the sky is dark, the palace people become light-hearted when they walk, Xingzhao suddenly remembered that one night she went to the main hall, Queen Fang took the book and read it under the lamp, Jiang Mingying turned her back and made several unpredictable gestures towards Jasper. Who knew that the little girl shrunk her shoulders and looked at her dumbfounded, and after a while, she shook her head at Jiang Mingying and said that she didn't understand, so angry that Aunt Jiang, who had always been calm and quiet, almost went crazy.

The corners of Xingzhao's mouth bent, the life of Fengyi Hall was full and happy, and after thinking about it again, he realized how difficult it was for Queen Fang, who lived in the peaceful and dignified Fengyi Palace, to laugh in the face of the concubine who was dissatisfied with her husband's house, to laugh in the face of the son born in the concubine room, and even in the face of the situation that she had no children under her knees, she not only had to laugh but also generously reward the woman who could add Ding to her husband

I don't know what's going on in my head. At the foot of the foot, I unconsciously passed the Yangui Gate, and turned left to arrive at the Taiye Pool. It's the height of summer. There is a slight cicada chirping sound one after another in the ears, the warm and clear light can make people see the road under their feet, under the moonlight, the liquid pool is like a cardamom young and soft little lady, but also like a bewitching Yan Ji hiding behind the pipa, the pond is full of hibiscus, the wide leaves are spread on the water surface, the green is like a piece of jade without flaws, or the pink or hot or green lotus flowers emerge unevenly, with buds, shy to hide in the moonlight like water.

The softness of this pool is all made of gold.

Raising such a pool of water and flowers is estimated to cost a lot of money in a day.

The lotus was originally raised in a large pond in Tongzhou, and in early summer, the seedlings were brought to the imperial city with the basin. The water is the water from the Lishan Mountain, and the bamboo poles dozens of meters long are split in half and connected together to transport the water from the southwest of Dingjing to the imperial city. The palace people have to get up every day on the third watch, and when the sky is bright, they have to come over to take care of it

As Xingzhao said, she is a layman, and she only thinks that the things in this rich pile are good-looking.

It is no wonder that those who are shrunk on the ground want to climb high, but those who have already climbed to the mountainside want to reach the top

Xingzhao smiled, the days were free, and his mind was thinking about something all day long.

Smiled and shook his head, turned the corner and saw the Chunlan Pavilion, which was shining with a shimmering light, Xingzhao sped up his steps and walked forward, while lowering his head and borrowing the light skirt to go up the stairs, he said with a smile: "The road is difficult at night, whether Princess Huanyi goes to the Rosewood Pavilion, or Ah Yu goes to Chonghua Palace, why do you think of making an appointment with Zaitai"

The words were stuck in his throat, and Xingzhao raised his head and looked at the young man who was sitting in the middle of the pavilion in amazement.

The complexion is fair, the peach eyes are misty, and the lips are thin but habitually tight

The young man who sat in the warm light, holding the cup in one hand, and his eyebrows were light

It's the Six Princes!

"Aren't you in Liaodong!"

The little lady rushed out, her voice was sharp and weak, and she couldn't startle the palace people waiting in the palace road, but she scared the cicadas stuck on the trees enough - the cicada chirped neatly, paused for a moment, and then sounded neatly one after another.

Xingzhao rarely lost his temper once, and he came back to his senses in an instant, first stretched his head out of the pavilion, looked around, and hurriedly instructed Lianyu, "Take Qiwan to look outside!" Put the lights out first! He also violently explained to a soft-looking and tall palace man who followed behind the six princes, "I'm tired of extinguishing the lights first!" There are many mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats in the summer, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no moths coming to fight the fire after a while! ”

A series of movements were fast and accurate, and Qi Wan moved the fastest, pinching his back and walking outside in a daze. The palace man who followed behind the sixth prince was a little disapproving, bent his knees curly, and said softly with a smile: "The county lord of Wenyang is too worried."

"Jade, you go out first." The young man's soft and hoarse voice interrupted his words categorically, and then raised his head to look at the little lady standing upright in front of him, and smiled: "Leave a lamp." The black light can't attract moths, but it can attract other strange things. ”

The palace man named Jade listened to the instructions of the six princes, raised his eyebrows and left the lamp, and Zhao Xing was blessed, and looked at the afterglow invisibly, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

Xingzhao suddenly remembered the time when the six princes sent medicine - it was also in the name of Huanyi! It was daytime, and some people watched, but now it was the dead of night, and people were about after dusk. The defense of men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as serious as that of the previous dynasty, and the reputation of women can be treated harshly.

Empress Fang was worried that the second prince would do whatever he wanted, but she didn't expect to escape from the second child's hand, but jumped into the pit of the sixth child!

Xingzhao took a step back, lowered his eyelids, bent his knees, and calmly counted the salutes first: "The sixth prince is fine." After thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, and said: "Lord Duan is fine." ”

Fu Guo didn't wait for the six princes to speak, so he smiled and said softly: "It was originally invited by Princess Huanyi, but I didn't know that the prince was also admiring the moon in Chunlan Pavilion. The courtiers are disturbed a lot, and I want to come to Princess Huanyi who is still waiting for the courtiers outside."

The sixth prince propped his hands on the stone table, got up slowly, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister should accompany the mother concubine to study in Chonghua Palace, and today is cautious." ”

Xingzhao's eyes were fixed on the few bright green bricks under his feet, she could see her own shadow, and she could also see the shadow of the six princes who walked over slowly with firm steps, she couldn't think of why the six princes were invited, the suffering of the previous life and the frustration of this life told her to be vigilant and inspect the province at all times, from sending medicine to appeasement, from relieving the siege to making a night appointment, Xingzhao couldn't think of how the attitude of the six princes suddenly transitioned from the alienation and politeness of the previous life to the cordial familiarity of the present.

Looking down, she could catch a glimpse of her own hands that were too small to hold Yu Jue, and she had heard that some men especially liked naΓ―ve little ladies

Or is there something she is plotting for, the relationship between Concubine Shu and Queen Fang is close enough, if Queen Fang intends to support the concubine, the candidate can only be him, and he doesn't need to rely on his in-laws to get closer

Or is he playing with the idea of the He family?

It's a pity that he pressed the wrong chip.

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled, his heart gradually sank, and he said softly: "You just came back from Liaodong, right?" In the past, the news in the palace was like having wings, and it was not used to run, but to fly to various palaces. I didn't hear you go back to the palace in Fengyi Palace, did you say it was strange? ”

A small beast with thorns on its body is not at all as gentle as it seems in the past, and when it encounters the unknowable, the edges and corners of its body that are usually well hidden will emerge.

This was the first thought that flashed through the mind of the six princes.

He quietly looked at the little lady's appearance, is it that the seven or eight-year-old little lady has grown up very fast, it seems that he has grown a lot taller than when he went to Liaodong. It used to be up to his shoulder, but now it's almost up to his nose. The face is very good, the big apricot eyes are shiny, ruddy and shiny, it is because Fang Qi is back, with support, it is like a heart falling back into the stomach.

The six princes didn't speak for a long time, the sheep's horn palace lamp was lightly rested on the stone bench by the jade, the light was just enough to reach the chin of the six princes, Xingzhao raised his head and saw a circle of black green under the eyes of the six princes in the bright and dark light.

"I just came back from Liaodong."

The voice of the sixth prince was clear and calm, and his voice was deep, but it was as steady as a horizontal line outlined by a ruler, without any waves.

"You entered the capital at three o'clock, and came out of the Yiyuan Hall at three o'clock, and before the Chonghua Palace had time, I first called a small palace person to go to the Fengyi Palace to call you out."

Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, was the current black green because he was driven out quickly?

After the sixth prince finished speaking, he thought about it and leaned down and asked, "I heard that General Fang has returned from the northwest?" Xingjing also captured Tuoheqi? ”

The old name was used in the words, and the central government could no longer be called a general, and the six princes really entered the palace as soon as they entered Beijing, and came to Chunlan Pavilion as soon as they came out of the Yiyuan Palace.

The words jumped from the east to the west in an instant, Xingzhao found that he couldn't control the rhythm of the six princes, the six princes squatted down, and a face suddenly appeared in front of her, Xingzhao involuntarily stepped back again, nodding absentmindedly, while correcting him: "It's Fang Dudu." On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the emperor promoted his uncle to become the governor of the right army, and his brother became famous and famous" (to be continued......)
