Volume I: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 102: Attention Garden

The top pavilion of Wangchun Pavilion is spread with warm blankets, and the room is full of large and small plum bottles, the plum fragrance is overflowing, light and far away.

In the pavilion, there is a large tooth bed, the brocade quilt is thick, and the stove next to it is burned with sandalwood charcoal in advance, which is full of warmth.

Qingxi bit her lip and looked around, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going back to Chaolan Yuan tonight?"

Xiao Yizheng took her hand with a smile and walked to the railing: "It's almost time." ”

Qingxi frowned slightly, remembering the wedding night, he took himself to Wangchun Pavilion for the first time, and also said, "It's almost time", and then she saw the warmth in the distance and the fire behind her, what will she see today?

As soon as Xiao Yizheng's words fell, the bells of the entire Shangdu City temple rang in unison, and it was the first day of the first lunar month.

The bell rings along with fireworks rising in the distance.

Xiao Yizheng wrapped his arms around Qingxi's waist from behind, put his cheek close to her ear, and said softly: "I ordered someone to set off the fireworks of Jinzhou in the Attention Garden, and it is the most gorgeous to see here." ”

Qingxi's eyes were all deeply attracted by the neon clouds blooming with the wind in the distance, and the dark blue night sky flashed with thousands of purples and reds, instantly brightening over the stars, and instantly returning to calm; The cycle repeats itself.

"The old year is as you wish, may the new year be even greater." Xiao Yizheng muttered in Qingxi's ear.

Qingxi closed her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"What did you wish for?" Xiao Yizheng asked with a smile.

Qingxi opened his eyes and looked at him sideways, with a puddle of autumn water in his eyes, which made people willing to indulge in it. She smiled coquettishly, "I won't tell you." ”

"Then I'll find out for myself." Xiao Yizheng kissed her on the lips as he spoke.

The two are tender like water, their hearts are rippling, and they kiss on the fireworks and starry Chinese New Year's Eve.

This night in the Wangchun Pavilion is destined to be as warm as spring.

The two entered the palace on the first day of the first month to ask for peace; The second year of junior high school returned to Lingfu for reunion. In the third year of junior high school, he directly took a carriage, left Zhao Xin and Moon Shadow, and went to the Garden of Attention.

Located in the eastern suburbs of Shangdu, the Garden of Attention is different from the Hengwang Mansion in that it occupies a large area and there are no dwellings around, so it is a quiet place that is rarely visited.

"There are not many attendants left behind in the Mind Garden, I sent someone to deliver the news a few years ago, after all, it will take a few days for the Lord to go, and it is estimated that this time will be ready properly."

"Have you not been back in a long time?" Qingxi asked.

Xiao Yizheng nodded: "It's been a year or two." ”

"Tell me about your time in the garden when you were a child." Qingxi held her cheeks and was curious.

Xiao Yizheng smiled: "What do you want to hear?" ”

"Hmm......" Qingxi rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking seriously. I want to hear everything. This is her answer after thinking about it.

Xiao Yizheng sighed lightly: "It will take a lifetime to tell you." ”

"Then I'll spend my whole life listening." Qingxi blinked his eyes wide and answered without thinking.

Xiao Yizheng smiled dotingly, and her eyebrows melted warmly in her eyes. Slowly talking about the story of the past.

From digging birds' eggs in the garden and falling from a tree to catching fish in a lake and almost drowning; From picking poisonous mushrooms in the back mountain to uncovering the tiles in the upper house, he almost let bird feces fall on the emperor's head; From studying gunpowder and almost burning down the study to secretly practicing archery, an arrow almost pierced Zhongbo's heart......

And so he told the story.

Qingxi kept his eyes open and listened with his ears pricked up, and asked in conclusion: "It's a miracle that you have grown up like this to where you are today!" ”

Xiao Yizheng laughed. "Heroes see the same thing."

"Doesn't my father and mother care about you?"

Xiao Yizheng recalled a little and said firmly: "My father wants to discipline, but he has to listen to his mother in the garden." My mother thought it was good for me to do that, just don't hurt others. ”

Qingxi frowned and said softly: "Mother has a special temperament, but it reminds me of my grandfather." When I was a child, my brother was so stubborn, and sometimes he took me to make trouble, and my grandmother always gritted her teeth and hated and worried. My grandfather was always kind and said, "What's wrong with such a nature?" ”

"So, my grandfather must like me too, right?" Xiao Yizheng asked Qingxi expectantly, as if he cared about the answer to this question.

Qingxi pretended to be mysterious and smiled but did not answer. She thought that Xiao Yizheng would get to the bottom of it, but who knew that he was leisurely

You Zai shook his head and affirmed himself: "Just look at Lizhi and know that my grandfather will definitely like me." ”

Qingxi couldn't help but laugh: "Even if you don't like it, you can't return the goods." ”

Xiao Yizheng was stunned and said with a wry smile: "You can press this sentence on me all over the world." I also hope that the princess will carry my goods with her and not lose them. ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the carriage had already driven into the Garden of Attention.

Qingxi's first image of this garden is exquisite grandeur.

At the entrance is a rockery group, through the small round arch, suddenly open, in front of the name of the Shenxin Moon Lake.

This Shenxin Lake is probably three times the size of the Taiye Pond in the palace, and you can completely boat on the lake and enjoy the scenery.

It is not an exaggeration to say this, because on the other side of Shenxin Lake is a patchwork of pavilions and pavilions, shaded by flowers and trees, and behind the pavilions is a hill that is not too high but also undulating.

If it is spring, it is a faint green mountain and a long green water.

"Would you rather go by boat or wander around?" Xiao Yizheng asked.

Only then did Qingxi realize that a long corridor had been built around the left side of Shenxin Lake, and on the back side was a dense forest, with a winding path leading to the opposite bank.

She thought about it, saw that there was no one around, then boldly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and said crisply: "If you are not tired, I will let you carry me over." ”

She smiled brightly, and her eyes were full of brilliance.

Xiao Yizheng leaned his face over without saying a word, "You kiss me, and I will carry you over." ”

At this time, two attendants hurriedly walked from the depths of the cloister.

Seeing this, Qingxi hurriedly wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held by Xiao Yizheng, "But there is no such reason, you teased me first, so you want to withdraw?" ”

"Someone's coming!" Qingxi Nunu mouth, reminded him.

"So what?" Xiao Yizheng half-squatted down and waved his hand: "Madam, come up." ”

Qingxi bit his lip lightly, a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he took the initiative to provoke him, and he was responsible for it to the end, so he couldn't care about being shy and leaned down.

The person who came was supposed to serve the master, but from a distance, he saw the prince walking into the dense forest with the princess on his back, looking at each other, thinking about whether to follow or not.

"Why don't we go back? Your Highness is much more familiar with this garden than we are, and every time you come, you don't like people to follow you, so don't be bored. "One of them.

Another person thinks about it and agrees.

So, the two unreliable attendants ran away so passively.

Xiao Yizheng carried Qingxi on his back and swayed leisurely in the forest.

It's winter, and only the pines and cypresses are standing tall in the forest, and the rest of the flowers and plants are dormant.

"After the beginning of spring, this forest is full of peaches and plums, and the swallows are chirping, which is better than the imperial garden in the palace." Xiao Yizheng said as he walked.

Qingxi lay on his back, pressed his ear, and said softly: "If you make a good pot of tea and touch a song of water and mountains are high, wouldn't you be a fairy." ”

"Yes, when my mother was here, she lived the life of a fairy in your mouth. She often cooks tea here. That Taixuanqin was my mother's favorite, and it was also given to the queen by my mother when she was dying. ”

"I see. I'm still thinking about why you said it was my mother's relic, and why it was with the queen, and why the queen gave it to me in the first place. ”

Xiao Yizheng looked at the soft stone path under his feet and bowed slightly. "Taixuanqin is not something that anyone can control, your piano skills are not inferior to your mother."

"I have never met my mother, but I feel so close to her."

Qingxi took a deep breath of the forest air, raised her eyes and looked around, she had been walking for a long time, she had always had a strange feeling, as if this forest was as familiar as she had been here.

She frowned slightly, trying to figure out why.

"Xu is because you grew up in Jiangnan with your mother, one side of the water and the other side of the people, this sentence is quite reasonable." Xiao Yizheng said with a smile.

Qingxi's mind flashed, and he hurriedly spoke: "Chengzhan, do you remember that I mentioned Sujiang Yulan Valley to you?" ”

Xiao Yizheng was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised by her tone at this time and the sudden mention of Yulan Valley.

"Remember, you said that in the spring, there are many Xinyi flowers."

"Yes, Magnolia Valley, this forest

The structure is very similar to the Magnolia Valley. ”

Xiao Yizheng paused and stopped. "You mean it's like Magnolia Valley?"

"Yes" Qingxi cut to the chase.

She has often gone to play in Magnolia Valley since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the road in Magnolia Valley, and she will never remember wrong.

Xiao Yizheng frowned, lifted her body up, and continued to walk forward.

"This garden was specially built by my father for my mother. My mother grew up in Jiangnan, and Xu Shi also went to Yulan Valley. She misses her homeland. He said slowly.

The two fell silent for a while. The atmosphere changed in an instant.

After a while, Qingxi hesitated to speak, and his tone was solemn: "You, don't you think there are too many coincidences in some things?" ”

Xiao Yizheng walked silently and did not speak.

"Chengzhan, I'm a little flustered. You say, will the secret behind the mother be related to the Ling family and the Su Jiang Chen family? Qingxi increased the force in his hand, and pressed his body closer to Xiao Yizheng.

"Don't be cranky." Xiao Yizheng said in a deep voice.

He could feel the nervousness and trepidation of the person behind him, and even the obvious increase in his heartbeat was transmitted through physical contact.

"Ah Heng, the marriage between you and me can be said to have been facilitated by my father. My father only had a deep affection for us. No matter what happens, no matter what kind of secrets are behind it, we are still us, I will protect you, I will protect the Ling family, and nothing will change. ”

Qingxi rested her head on his shoulder and smiled slightly. "Well, the sky is falling, and it's up to you."

"That's right." Xiao Yizheng's tone became relaxed; "I'm bringing you here to relax, don't bother yourself. Today there is wine, today is drunk, tomorrow is sad, tomorrow is sad. ”

The two walked for half an hour before they came out of the forest.
