Chapter 179: The Peach Tree

An Wei sent Ling Qingyun home.

On the way, he asked Ling Qingyun: "Are you afraid today?" ”

Ling Qingyun smiled, and her eyebrows deepened: "I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of the palace, I grew up there." ”

If it was a normal family, it would be her sister's home, which would be her home.

It's just a pity that now she can't say that.

It was the Forbidden Palace, the most honorable place in the whole world, and she was not qualified to say that it was her home.

An Wei was silent and took her hand.

"I'm just sorry I can't look around." Ling Qingyun said slowly, "My sister once planted a peach tree in the southwest corner of the Imperial Garden.

It was a hundred-year-old peach dug from the courtyard of my hometown, and only three peaches were produced every year. Before it was ripe, my sister would take it off and put it on the bedside until it was rotten.

Last year, there was a great drought, and I don't know if I died. If they die, they will not know where they will be lost."

An Wei was silent for a moment, then put her shoulder around her and let her lean against him. His shoulders are broad, warm, and steady.

Ling Qingyun closed her eyes slightly.

"I'll take you there later." An Wei suddenly opened his mouth and said to Ling Qingyun cautiously, "I told the official family to let you go to the palace and take a look around." ”

Ling Qingyun closed her eyes and buried her head in front of his chest.

"Actually, when I was young, I only regarded my sister and the official family as relatives. I also want to meet him, but I'm afraid of him," Ling Qingyun sighed softly.

She wasn't sure now.

She wasn't sure if the official family was a murderer, she wasn't sure if the official family who kept saying that they loved her sister was sincere, and she wasn't sure if the official family who treated her like a little sister was perfunctory.

Therefore, she didn't dare to cling to herself.

Since ancient times, emperors have no true feelings.

An Wei was silent.

He didn't really want Ling Qingyun to meet with the official family. Even if he tried to restrain himself, he just couldn't help Ling Qingyun from meeting others. He has not yet developed extreme self-confidence and tolerance.

He sent Ling Qingyun to his home, and also went to the main courtyard to meet Jing's family.

Then, Ling Qingyun and An Wei came out of the main courtyard. She went back to her own courtyard, and he went out.

Ling Qingyun still sent An Wei to the door of the hanging flowers.

"Let's go back." An Wei said to Ling Qingyun.

Ling Qingyun nodded, turned around and walked back.

An Wei suddenly remembered something, and when she saw that Ling Qingyun hadn't gone far, she called out to her: "Nine hey! ”

Ling Qingyun stopped.

Her clear eyes were slightly condensed, and she looked at him puzzled. Especially his "hey", which made her feel a little sad inexplicably.

Since then, he has been so clear?

"What's wrong?" She held back her sadness and asked him.

"Didn't you say that there is a peach tree planted by your sister in the Imperial Garden? In which direction, what does it look like, I'll go tomorrow to see if it's dead.

If I could, I'll dig it up for you. "Ann Wai Road.

The cloud-like sunset fell on An Wei's face, removing the coldness of his eyebrows and adding a graceful temperament.

His eyes, against the slanting sun, were scorching and deep, looking at her quietly.

Ling Qingyun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She even said and made a comparison, telling An Eaves about the appearance and location of the peach trees that Lu Xuan had planted.

An Wei nodded: "I'll help you see it tomorrow." ”

Ling Qingyun smiled and said, "Thank you, An Lang!" ”

An eaves bowed, and then he really left.

Ling Qingyun didn't move, and her ears still remembered his "hey", which really embarrassed her. However, he is still very good to her, why bother?

Ling Qingyun looked at his back in the distance, silent, and didn't move for a long time.

He walked very fast, the hem of his straight coat under the soft armor slightly raised, and the slanting sun stretched his shadow very long and isolated. His back was straight, and his steps were resolute when he walked out, without hesitation.

Ling Qingyun sighed slowly for a long time before turning around and going back to the house.

The next day, Shi Ting arrived at Ling's house.

He sent a lot of gifts: "I was supposed to come over for the Duanyang Festival, but I didn't come back until the afternoon because a friend made an appointment to go out of the city to fight the siege." ”

Jing's they were very happy and stayed in Shiting to eat.

"Entered the palace yesterday?" Shi Ting asked Ling Qingyun in a low voice, "Have you seen the Queen Mother?" ”

Ling Qingyun didn't want to pay attention to him.

She developed a sense of distrust of him. Shi Ting made her feel that her past was dirty.

Ling Qingyun actually rarely regrets it, what she does is what she does, what she is wrong is wrong, there is nothing worth justifying and regretting, and she doesn't blame anyone.

However, Shi Ting repeatedly made her unable to look back.

He made her past more and more unbearable.

He once said that Lu Yu was the woman he loved deeply, and Ling Qingyun felt cold when he thought about it.

"Don't talk to me." Ling Qingyun said coldly, got up and entered the warm pavilion, ignoring the stone court.

Shi Ting let out a chuckle behind her, as if mocking and laughing at herself.

Ling Qingyun ignored it.

Shi Ting stayed at Ling's house for a whole day.

He and Ling Qingcheng were in the outer courtyard, and they didn't know what to say, so they talked all day. Ling Qingcheng liked him very much, and even Ling Qingtong trusted him.

Just like Chen Qiniang, who is so shrewd, she also thinks that Shi Ting is a good person.

Shi Ting was honest to everyone in the Ling family.

Ling Qingyun was the only one who avoided him.

In the middle of the afternoon, An Wei went to the Forbidden Palace, and when he came back to reply to Ling Qingyun, he saw Shi Ting in Ling's house.

An Canopy's footsteps paused slightly.

At the banquet on April 15, after An Wei lost his temper and left, the three of them did not officially meet.

Many of the things agreed upon before have been delayed.

An Wei's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were sharp and indifferent, and he quietly swept past Shi Ting.

"Second brother, are you here?" Ling Qingcheng felt that something was wrong with these two people, and greeted An Wei with a smile.

An Wei bowed his head and said to Ling Qingcheng: "I'll go first." Then, he glanced at Shi Ting, "Shi Gongzi, don't go, I have something to tell you." ”

Shi Ting smiled, politely and gently, and said, "Lord An can be as calm as possible." ”

An Wei went to the inner courtyard, first went to pay a salute to the Jing family, and then went to find Ling Qingyun.

"The peach tree is still there." An Wei told Sù Ling Qingyun, "Last year's drought, the official family let people dig it out and raise it deliberately. After the beginning of spring this year, it was moved back to the Imperial Garden. ”

After that, An Wei paused, and stopped talking a little.

"Anything else?" Ling Qingyun's heart was a little uneasy.

"The official said that the peach tree was very weird. After Lu Jiuniang died, she only bore two peaches; Then, when the queen died, one was born; It wasn't until last year that two more "Aneaves Road" trees began to be planted.

Ling Qingyun was slightly stunned.

The reason why Lu Xuan likes the peach tree very much is not because it looks good and the fruit is sweet, but because it has been years for a long time, and Lu Xuan's mother said: "When my mother was a child, she played with her sisters, fell and was cut by a stone, and when she helped the tree, she wiped the blood of a tree."

Then, the peach tree bears one peach every year. until I married your father and gave birth to your eldest brother, and it bore two trees; When your sister was born, four trees were planted that year. However, it has only borne three trees this year."

That year, my mother died.

Lu Xuan told Lu Yu about this once, only once. At that time, Lu Yu was young, and he was not afraid of heaven and earth.

She thought it was a coincidence.

now

Perhaps, this is another coincidence, right?

She couldn't think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this world was terrible, not what she thought.

Ling Qingyun didn't want to become chattering.

That peach tree was by no means a prophecy tree for the fate of their brother and sister.

"Can you dig it up?" Ling Qingyun asked An Wei.

An Wei shook his head: "The official family regards it as a treasure, and there are three palace maids who take turns to guard it, and there can be no mistakes."

Last time, Feng Guifei wanted to pick peaches, but the palace maid didn't let her, so Feng Guifei asked someone to break in, and the official family was furious, saying that they would abolish Feng Guifei, and drove Feng Guifei back to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, so that she could continue to be a female official. ”

Ling Qingyun sighed.

The official family still cares about Lu Xuan very much.

She was both relieved and sad.

"Then forget it." Ling Qingyun's voice was a little hoarse, "Forget it." ”

An Wei couldn't bear it.

"I want to think about it." An Wei said, "I may be able to get there." ”

"Don't do it, leave it to the official family." Ling Qingyun sighed, "In this world, I am not the only one who misses my sister. ”

An eaves groaned.

After a few words, An Wei went out.

He made an appointment with Shi Ting, and the two discussed things in private.

"Second brother and Zhongzhou are really strange." Ling Qingcheng muttered behind his back, "The two of them seem to be both good and hate each other, I don't know why. ”

After thinking about it, Ling Qingcheng didn't quite understand, so he didn't think much about it.

The next day, on the seventh day of the fifth month, Ling Qingyun got up early and prepared to discuss with her mother today about going to Taiyuan Mansion.

She couldn't afford to delay.

She tried her best to convince her mother to leave by the end of the month so that she could return in July.

Unexpectedly, the county lord of Yuanyang gave Ling Qingyun an invitation and asked her to go to the painting boat.

"Does she think I'm stupid?" When Ling Qingyun saw this invitation, she couldn't cry or laugh.

The county lord of Yuanyang had no kindness towards Ling Qingyun, it was already obvious. The painting boat is on the water, if the county lord of Yuanyang sends someone to push Ling Qingyun down, it can be said that Ling Qingyun has fallen into the water, and no one can explain it.

Why did she think Ling Qingyun was willing to go?

Ling Qingyun immediately refused.

Unexpectedly, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the county lord of Yuanyang used the name of Princess Hanshan to post to Jing's family, Chen Qiniang, and Ling Qingyun.

"What is this county lord going to do?" When Jing thought of that outing, he was full of disgust with the county lord of Yuanyang.

The county lord of Yuanyang openly spoke ill of Ling Qingyun in front of Xiao Jing's family.

If it weren't for the close relationship between the Jing family and the Xiao Jing sisters, the Jing family would only be worried that the Xiao Jing family would look at Ling Qingyun differently.

"Mother, this is under the post of the eldest princess." Chen Qiniang hesitated, "What can I do about this?" ”

If you don't go, won't you despise the eldest princess?

Malinger?

You can't all three of your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fall ill, right?

"Mother, I'll go." Ling Qingyun finally said, "Sister-in-law can't go, she is pregnant and not very comfortable; You're old again, and you're just afraid of seasickness, so I'll go by myself. ”

In this way, it is impossible to advance or retreat.

The dignity of the eldest princess is really crushing!

No wonder the county lord of Yuanyang didn't take Ling Qingyun in his eyes, she probably thought that a little trick could kill Ling Qingyun, right?

"Mother, I'll go." Seeing her mother hesitate, Ling Qingyun said again.

At this time, don't anger the Queen Mother and the Lord of Yuanyang too much. In case the county lord of Yuanyang is unhappy and asks the queen mother to recruit Ling Qingyun to the palace, Ling Qingyun really has no way out.

Her sister-in-law is pregnant, and her mother is old, and if any of them "fall into the water", it is very dangerous.

Only Ling Qingyun is young and in good health.

Besides, who said she just went alone?

She can take the stone garden or the eaves there.

If Ling Qingyun retreats step by step, it will only force the county lord of Yuanyang to use more ruthless moves, and it will even threaten Ling Qingyun's family.

So, Ling Qingyun replied to the post and agreed to go to the painting boat with the main tour of Yuanyang County.

At the same time, she sued An Wei and Shi Ting about this matter.
