It's all open, and it's all purple and red, and it's full of dazzling.
There are also all kinds of colorful butterflies fluttering among the flowers, staging the entanglement/lingering story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
Su Shanyun stood among the flowers, looking at them with obsessive eyes.
So beautiful, so warm.
Looking at them, I thought of myself and Yan Jinxuan.
She gently plucked a calendula and a lily of the valley and pinned it to her bun, believing that she must be beautiful at this moment.
It's a pity that Yan Jinxuan is not there.
She began to miss him again.
As soon as she thought of him, she couldn't help but feel tenderness and sweetness all over her body, and she couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms immediately.
"Shanyun, come and see, there is a very large calendula here." Zhou Zhou beckoned to Su Shanyun, and at the same time beckoned to the others.
Everyone trotted over with their skirts in their hands.
Sure enough, it was a marigold, nearly twice the size of a human face, and it bloomed brightly in the scorching sun.
"Ah, this one must have been changed by the flower demon." The second princess exclaimed. I couldn't help but lean over and put my face on it and smell it.
"Is there really such a thing as a flower demon?" The crown princess asked with a smile.
As the interest came, the crown princess was also happy to find some topics to play.
"I don't know, but I once heard the queen tell a story about the flower demon, and I was particularly impressed." The second princess said with a smile.
"Really? Can the Queen tell us about that too? The crown princess hurriedly took Queen Kuang's hand and said.
"Then Bengong will talk about another one, that is what Bengong heard from others when he was young." Empress Kuang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." The crowd was immediately interested.
Empress Kuang told the story as she walked forward slowly.
"Once upon a time, there was a scholar who said goodbye to his parents and went to Beijing to take the exam after studying hard for 18 years, and it only took half a day before it rained heavily, and he had to run into an abandoned house to escape the rain. There was a small yard in the house, and there was a hibiscus tree planted in the yard, which was the season when the hibiscus was in bloom. So the trees are full of flowers. One of them blooms big and bright. The scholar liked it very much, and looked at it for a long time. The rain stopped, and the scholar was about to go on the road, but he was reluctant to let the flower go. So he took it off and took it on the road. In the evening. The scholar offered the flower in a vase provided by the hotel. Night. The scholar suddenly felt the strong aroma in the room, and hurriedly opened his eyes to look, and suddenly saw a woman with a beautiful color and fragrance standing timidly beside him. He was taken aback. Busy asking the other party's origins. The woman said that she was the flower soul of the hibiscus, and that she was willing to marry the scholar because of the love of the scholar. The scholar hurriedly looked at the vase and found that the flowers in the vase were indeed gone, so he believed her words, and the two became husband and wife. ”
"And then?" The crown princess asked.
The woman changed back to the shape of a flower during the day and continued on her way with the scholar. Every night, she becomes a woman again, and she is entangled with this scholar. The scholar's love for her deepened, so he had the desire to marry her. Later, this scholar was even in the top three, and after returning to his hometown, he married this woman. Empress Kuang said.
"Anything else?" Zhou Zhou asked.
The woman bore the man a son the following year of marriage, and died shortly thereafter. The man buried her on the hillside behind the house. Soon after, a sapling of a hibiscus tree grew on her grave. The man was so pleased that he visited it every day. This hibiscus blooms beautifully the following year. From then on, the man did not remarry, and regarded this hibiscus as his lover, and often spoke to it. Later, when he was thirty years old, he also died, and on his deathbed entrusted his son to bury him with the woman. ”
"What a beautiful story!" The second princess said.
"There are stories about cornflowers, geraniums, roses, cyclamen, jacarandas, poppies, begonias, sky, daisies, peonies, and five-colored plums, and I'll tell you them all another day." Empress Kuang said with a smile.
"Great." The second imperial concubine jumped up.
Everyone followed Queen Kuang and continued to walk towards the depths of the sea of flowers.
"There is a clear spring not far ahead, we can fill a few bottles of the spring and go back to make tea or wine to eat." Empress Kuang said, and then asked the palace maids who came with her to take out the bottles that had been prepared. So they all went there.
Everyone watched and chatted, and before they knew it, they had reached the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking down at the scenery near and far, Su Shanyun had a lot of thoughts.
Thinking of the poignancy of his past life, and then comparing the happiness of the present, he not only sighed - it is good to be alive, as long as life is there, there are infinite possibilities.
Empress Kuang walked up to her side and said, "Shanyun, let's talk." ”
"Okay." Su Shanyun replied warmly.
"Thank you very much for the last time!" Empress Kuang looked at her and said in a serious tone.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture." Su Shanyun hurriedly waved his hand.
"Do you always know good and bad?" Empress Kuang asked curiously.
"No, that's a very accidental situation, and I'm no different from everyone else." Su Shanyun said busily.
She actually didn't have the ability to predict the future, it was just because she kept the memories of her previous life, but of course she couldn't tell Queen Kuang directly.
"Anyway, it was you who saved Bengu's life this time, and Bengu will remember it. In the future, if you need Hongu's help, just say that Hongu will do its best. ”
"Thank you, Queen!"
"You're welcome, let's talk about it, we are also destined." Empress Kuang held Su Shanyun's hand and said.
The sun is getting hotter, and noon is approaching.
The group began to descend the mountain.
At noon, everyone had a meal at the Xiyingmen Food Hall.
Since Empress Kuang sent someone to charter the venue in advance, they could eat very relaxed.
"It's rare to be happy, everyone takes turns to perform on stage today, right?" Empress Kuang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then I'll dance." The crown princess should be kind.
"I dance too." The second princess said.
So the two performed a double butterfly dance for everyone.
Zhou Zhou took Xiao to play "Butterfly Love Flower" for everyone.
Su Shanyun shirked and didn't dare to be ugly.
In the end, I couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm and invited, and timidly played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for everyone.
"Queen, it is said that the "Lingbo Dance" you danced back then amazed the entire palace, can you also give us a paragraph today?" The crown princess wasted no time in asking.
Empress Kuang waved her hand again and again: "That was more than ten years ago, and the palace is now almost forgetting even the footwork." ”
"How much do you remember, can you give us a little bit?" The crown princess said again.
"Yes, the queen will give us a feast for our eyes." The second princess also pulled her and said.
Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Queen Kuang's heart softened, and she had to smile and say, "Okay, okay, then the palace will rely on memory for a while." ”
With that, he took off his cloak and walked slowly to the stage. (To be continued......)
