Chapter 239: A Chance Encounter with Flowers
In the heavy garden, it is the season when the peony is in full bloom; All kinds of colorful peonies, with huge flowers, thick petals, red like fire, like the sun in summer, with fire-like enthusiasm; Yellow is like shining gold, which makes people love it all the more; Pink like the sunset on the horizon, full of mystery; The white color is like the snow in winter, and the holy breeze blows, and the faint fragrance comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed.
Gao Jin walked among the flowers with his hands in his hands, and Zhang Concubine was supported by the palace people, such a stunning scenery made people can't help but put their bodies and minds into it.
The concubines who enjoy the flowers in the garden occasionally pass by in the distance, because of the distance, they all ignore each other, but they have the heart to peep at each other, Zhang Concubine is naturally a proud state, or from time to time to say two jokes with Gao Jin.
At this time, two beauties not far away were also admiring the garden, just passing by Gao Jin and Zhang Concubine, the two beauties owed them a debt, and then left with envy and jealousy.
Concubine Zhang glanced at the two beauties passing by, the pride on her face was even better, she inadvertently saw a black peony in full bloom, open in the colors, it seemed that everyone was distinct, she was full of smiles and pointed to the flowers in front of her, and said, "King Liang, look, that black peony, how dazzling it is by the colorful light." β
Gao Jin followed her finger and looked, the black flowers are indeed relatively difficult to see, occasionally seen, but there are a few differences, he asked with curiosity, "What, does the concubine love this black alone?" β
"The concubine is not the only one, but she is very envious of the uniqueness of its color, and she yearns for the dazzling color of its color." Concubine Zhang's faint smile was tinged with a hint of gloom, the women in the deep palace, who doesn't want to live a unique and dazzling life, she is just hinting at Gao Jin with some emotion.
Gao Jin glanced at Concubine Zhang from the bottom of his eyes, and showed a gloomy smile thoughtfully, he walked to the flowers, picked a black peony casually, looked at it in front of him, and said meaningfully, "Unique is indeed enviable, but dazzling, may not be worthy of everyone's yearning, what is plain is true, health is real, and contentment is always happy." β
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he handed the flower in his hand to Concubine Zhang, who hinted that he gave her dazzling capital, and he wanted to remind her that she should be content.
Zhang Concubine smiled and took Gao Jin's flowers, Gao Jin turned around and walked forward, Zhang Concubine looked at the flowers in her hand, she liked black peonies, she wanted to hint at Gao Jin, but he fought back, she followed Gao Jin with displeasure.
Lin Xuan'er and Miao Ji walked side by side in the garden, admiring the colorful peonies, and it was rare to be so happy; With the breeze and the slight Buddha, the warm sun is shining, bathed in the faint fragrance of flowers, even if it is not as good as the fairyland of the world, it is comparable to the beautiful picture of the picture.
Gao Jin and Concubine Zhang turned a corner, and just happened to bump into Lin Xuan'er and Miao Ji here, and Lin Xuan'er was leaning over to smell the fragrance of peonies, even if the garden was full of flowers, she still couldn't match her with a smile, Gao Jin actually looked a little distracted.
Concubine Zhang on the side looked at Gao Jin's eyes, and the scene of Lin Xuan'er being one and the same was deeply pierced in her eyes, and then looked at Gao Jin, who was already fascinated, she turned the displeasure in her heart into anger, although it was just sulking.
Miao Ji had already found that Gao Jin and Concubine Zhang were not far away, but she didn't immediately come forward to salute, and stood in a daze, as if waiting for Lin Xuan'er's reaction.
Lin Xuan'er enjoyed the flowers, absorbing the comfort brought by the fragrance of flowers, Chongyuan was her favorite place when she was a child, that is, she didn't remember the name of the garden here, after more than ten years, it was like a past, she seemed to be immersed in her childhood again.
Lin Xuan'er stopped in front of a snow-white blooming peony bush, stretched out her jade hand, the white jade hand, blended into the flowers, but she didn't pick the flowers for a long time; She looked at the delicate petals, the delicate color, is exactly what she loves, although there is only a short bloom, but she does not want to take away the most beautiful years of the flower when the flower is in full bloom.
Lin Xuan'er gave up picking the flowers, and when she got up, she inadvertently glanced at Gao Jin, who was looking at her not far away, the two looked at each other, she instinctively faded the smile on her face, and Gao Jin seemed to retract his eyes and did not leave, he had always felt sorry for her for the events of that night.
Lin Xuan'er knew that Gao Jin's heart was different, and she was not guilty, but she had already met, if she turned a blind eye, it seemed a little narrow-minded, she thought, and glanced at Miao Ji on the side, after all, between Miao Ji and Gao Jin, there is far more than just an estrangement.
Lin Xuan'er just received Miao Ji's eyes, Miao Ji seemed to be waiting for her, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards Gao Jin together.
"The concubine sees King Liang." Lin Xuan'er and Miao Ji owed themselves together.
Gao Jin glanced at the two of them, nodded, and Concubine Zhang on the side stepped forward and said, "The concubines see the queen and the concubine." β
"Concubine Zhang is pregnant, so there is no need to be polite in the future, and we must ensure that the heir of the king is alive." Miao Ji had a faint smile on her face, and her momentum did not lose her previous demeanor, although Gao Jin did not wait to see her, she was still the queen above ten thousand people under one person, and she had to remind Gao Jin all the time that he took away her child.
"Thank you for the queen's love, the concubines must remember." Concubine Zhang gestured, and her face with a smile was mixed with a hint of pride, Miao Ji and Qin Feng's matter, she faintly heard about it, there are people with the title of queen, she is not afraid of her, but the surface is still passable.
The corners of Miaoji's mouth hooked, and then her eyes drooped expressionlessly, if she didn't have a hatred for Gao Jin, she wouldn't have paid attention to irrelevant people.
Concubine Zhang is pregnant, Lin Xuan'er was going to congratulate, since she met here, she naturally had to congratulate, she said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Zhang is pregnant, this palace has not yet gone to congratulate, I don't want to meet here, it is really rare, this palace is here, congratulations to Concubine Zhang, give birth to the heir as soon as possible, and add blessings to Beiliang." β
Concubine Zhang was naturally happy, she bowed her head and said, "The concubine thanks Concubine Xuan for the little prince's auspicious words, but unfortunately, the concubine is not as blessed as Concubine Xuan, and the first child adds a pair of dragons and phoenixes to King Liang, and the concubine is really envious." β
Concubine Zhang was originally a compliment, but it aroused a moment of embarrassment, the smile on Lin Xuan'er's face froze for a moment, and Gao Jin's face was even darker.
Miao Ji knew the inside story, and she said in a timely manner: "The blessing is that the blessing comes, and Concubine Zhang has time to pray for the blessing of the prince's heir, so why envy others." β
"What the mother said is very true." Concubine Zhang seemed to realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and she simply didn't dwell on this topic.
Miao Ji hooked the corners of her mouth lukewarmly, the topic had already been taken, and she didn't want to say any more, and she had no words to talk about.
"Since we're all enjoying the flowers, let's take a walk together." Gao Jin threw down his lukewarm words, and walked in front by himself, originally he had no intention of appreciating the flowers, but now he had no intention of doing so, he just wanted to look at Lin Xuan'er more, at least he could get closer to her.
With Gao Jin in power, the three of them immediately followed, but they were in the mood to enjoy the flowers, but they no longer intended to think about the flowers, but to think about them.
Song Jingran has been looking for an opportunity to contact Qin Feng, and he was invited twice, but he was politely rejected by Qin Feng, but today, he received Qin Feng's invitation, and the place where he met was to enjoy the wine and flowers in Chongyuan.
Buried in the peony bush, a delicate pavilion, carved with the essence of the peony pavilion three big characters. Two men in the pavilion were singing about wine, chanting poems about flowers, and occasionally there was a man's hearty laughter, these two were Song Jingran and Qin Feng.
Because Qin Feng has the right to leave the palace at any time, it is also Gao Jin's permission to haunt the palace.
Gao Jin wandered in the park unintentionally, and was about to find an excuse to leave, when suddenly a man's pleasant laughter attracted him, not because of the pleasant ear, but because of familiarity, he walked away with curiosity.
Gao Jin walked not far away, although the laughter had disappeared, he no longer had to distinguish, in the pavilion among the peonies, the figures of the two men, he was very familiar; Song Jingran approached Qin Feng, it was originally his intention, but after learning that Song Jingran had contact with Miao Ji, he no longer had the heart to let Song Jingran contact Qin Feng, and he even had the heart to start confused, Song Jingran's intentions.
At this time, Lin Xuan'er and the others also came over, obviously they also saw the people in the pavilion, and Song Jingran and Qin Feng seemed to be talking very happily, and they didn't seem to notice their appearance, or maybe the flowers were interfering with their vision, after all, they were sitting in the pavilion, far less clear than the angle from which they were standing.
"King Liang is tired, I don't know if I want to take a rest." Miao Ji deliberately doubled the volume, she didn't hide it at all, she was reminding Song Jingran and Qin Feng.
Gao Jin glanced at Miao Ji without lust, and her reminder made him even more suspicious of the connection between her and Qin Feng and Song Jingran.
Song Jingran and Qin Feng were naturally reminded, the two glanced at each other, and immediately got up and walked.
The two of them arched their hands together and said, "See King Liang." β
The corners of Gao Jin's mouth hooked, "What, the two of you are also here to enjoy the flowers?" β
"Back to King Liang, I heard that the peony in Chongyuan is blooming very well, General Qin specially invited Song to come to watch, and it is a coincidence to meet King Liang here." Because Gao Jin was not exempt from courtesy, Song Jingran still gestured with his hand, he didn't realize Gao Jin's strangeness, but it was the person he met by chance that made his throbbing heart surging again.
"Song Dashao doesn't have to be polite." Gao Jin said with a smile: "It seems that this year's peony has not been in vain to survive the harsh winter. β
"What King Liang said is extremely true, if you don't suffer from the severe cold, how can you usher in the bloom at this time." Song Jingran was a little unsure of the meaning of Gao Jin's yin and yang weird words, but he still behaved naturally.
Gao Jin smiled, glanced at Song Jingran and Qin Feng, and glanced at Lin Xuan'er and Miaoji behind him, no matter which pair he was, he seemed to be redundant, and there was an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart, but the matter was still clear, and he couldn't do anything unclear.
Concubine Zhang on the side gave Gao Jin an excuse to escape from his inner anger, he hugged Concubine Zhang and said with a smile: "Concubine Zhang is pregnant, it is not suitable to walk around for a long time, the lonely king will send Concubine Zhang back to the palace for the time being, and you will wait for yourself." β
