Chapter 63: The Winding Path Leads to a Secluded Path
As he spoke, he passed through many pavilions and pavilions, and gradually, the place he passed became remote.
Compared to the rest of the palace, it began to be overgrown with weeds, apparently unpruned for a long time.
Many branches grow long, and the branches and forks are intertwined with each other, even blocking the sight of people in front of them, if it is not for the guidance of He Miao, I am afraid that if I tell Liu Xie the place, I am afraid that I will think that I am going the wrong way.
In addition, under the cover of weeds on the ground, the original road has long disappeared, which further highlights the inaccessibility of the place.
"Is there such a place in the palace?" Liu Xie saw the scene here, and the comparison with the palace he knew was too big, so that Liu Xie couldn't react.
"The palace is too big, and there are all kinds of corners, and it is impossible for His Majesty to go to all places, so there are many places like this in the palace, but most of them are places where eunuchs or concubines live that are not reused." Seeing Liu Xie's curious look, He Miao introduced to Liu Xie.
Hearing He Miao's introduction, Liu Xie couldn't help nodding, this is indeed the truth.
They all say that the palace is good, and they all say that the palace is magnificent, but who knows that there are places in the corners of this palace that are not more than mundane?
In such a place, the environment is not as good as the world, and it is also subject to various rules in the palace, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.
The winding path was quiet, Le Jin and He Miao broke off the weeds in front of them, or overwhelmed them aside, Liu Xie followed behind the two, but he didn't suffer much, and soon arrived in a courtyard covered with flowers and plants.
The branches and grass here are clearly traces of tidying up, and the sound of chatter and laughter can be heard from the courtyard from time to time, as if this is no longer a grassy palace, but like a paradise.
Liu Xie and his entourage walked closer, opened the firewood, and what greeted them was a courtyard, in which there was a small pavilion, under which three people were sitting, two were playing against each other, and one was watching.
At the same time, there was a person in the courtyard who was stroking the harp, and the sound of the harp pierced through the ear curtain.
With the sound of boiling water, a person was standing by the teapot and was about to lift the pot.
What a scene of life!
Seeing the situation in front of him, Liu Xie couldn't believe his eyes, is it really at this time?
The situation here is at the opposite end of the spectrum with the chaotic world in and outside the palace.
"Who are you?" At this time, a voice sounded from behind Liu Xie.
Liu Xie and the others looked back and saw that the owner of the voice was an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The young man is also dressed in eunuch clothes, and it is obvious that his parents must have sent him to the palace for a living, and he is also a poor person.
The young man's voice alarmed everyone in the courtyard, and several people who were originally busy with the matter at hand stopped at the same time, and all the voices stopped abruptly, and at the same time thought about Liu Xie's place and looked over.
"Brother Shuda!" At this time, the young man finally saw He Miao beside Liu Xie, and suddenly a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face, obviously very familiar with He Miao.
"Wu Yan boy!" Hearing the young man's scream, He Miao also responded with a smile.
At this time, everyone in the courtyard also stood up and came around, and when they saw that it was He Miao, everyone smiled and said, "General He Xiao is here!" ”
Looking at the people who were familiar with him, Liu Xie knew in his heart that the relationship between He Miao and them was really unusual.
Between the words, I saw one of the eunuchs with towering cheekbones looking at Liu Xiehe and Le Jin, and couldn't help but ask He Miao: "General He, who are these two?" ”
He Miao, who was almost carried away by the greetings, suddenly patted his head and introduced Liu Xie and the others: "I almost forgot about business!" This is His Royal Highness the King of Bohai who is personally enshrined by His Majesty today! This is His Royal Highness's bodyguard, Le Jin Le Wenqian. ”
"King of the Bohai Sea?" Hearing He Miao's introduction, everyone was startled at first, and then they all showed doubts, obviously they had never heard of the King of Bohai before.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little embarrassing, He Miao couldn't help but explain to everyone: "The King of Bohai was originally the second prince of His Majesty, who lived in Yongle Palace for a long time, and was just canonized as the King of Bohai a few days ago. ”
"It's actually the prince of Xie, and the slave has seen the prince of Xie!" Hearing Liu Xie's origin, several people finally suddenly realized and hurriedly saluted Liu Xie.
Everyone's previous reactions Liu Xie saw it in his eyes, after all, those who don't know are not guilty, and when they hear their title of King of Bohai at first glance, I am afraid that individuals will have some doubts more or less.
"You don't have to be polite." Liu Xie looked at everyone with a smile.
"Wouldn't that mean that the prince has become the crown prince? Alas..."At this moment, one of them suddenly said something, and everyone's faces changed.
Liu Xie saw that this person was tall and thin, with a serious face, and he should be a person who does not smile on weekdays.
Hearing the words of the tall and thin man, a round-faced eunuch hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and at the same time glanced at Liu Xie.
After the round-faced man reminded him, the master's face suddenly changed, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
If he was small and cared about this matter, Liu Xie would have been fighting for the throne with Liu Wei a long time ago, and it would be his turn to come to them with leisure and leisure, and Liu Xie just didn't care about this matter.
"It's okay, my brother can grow ten times longer, and it is natural to be named the prince, don't look at the orphan with such eyes, the lonely is not a person without bearing." There is an element of boasting in Liu Xie's words, but in such an atmosphere, no one thinks so, which just feels that Liu Xie's empathy is reflected.
The originally slightly embarrassing atmosphere was dissolved by Liu Xie's three or two sentences, and the eyes of several people looking at Liu Xie became different.
"Your Highness's bearing is extraordinary, we admire it!" I saw the tall and thin eunuch step forward and salute Liu Xie.
At this time, Liu Xie asked with some interest: "When I mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, I saw you sigh, I don't know why?" ”
The tall and thin eunuch was stunned by Liu Xie's question, and looked at the rest of the people, who also had different expressions.
I didn't understand what Liu Xie meant, and at the same time, I didn't know much about Liu Xie's temperament, so the tall and thin eunuch had no choice but to play Tai Chi and said: "It may be that Your Highness heard it wrong, I didn't sigh just now, if it is a sigh, it may be that the natural breathing is a little heavy." ”
"Oh? Is it? Liu Xie's face was noncommittal, obviously not agreeing with the statement of the tall and thin eunuch.
"Yes, yes." The tall and thin eunuch responded, trying to squeeze out a smile.
It may be that he usually doesn't laugh, but at this time, the tall and thin eunuch laughs really worse than crying, and his tone is a little unnatural.
