Chapter 14: Willows Outside the Wall

I finally understand, this is the mansion of the Xie Governor in Jiangnan, the Lord of the Xie Governor's Mansion and the Zhongguo Gong are young, and the two have studied together. After answering my strange question, Mrs. Xie sighed and said, "Good boy, scared and stupid." ”

I was lying on the bed in a certain wing of Xie's house, my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and in a trance I seemed to see a beam of light. When I opened my eyes again, it was Buyue Yunzhi who came to call me. Ting Yun and Yuan Chu came, and the imperial dining room also sent breakfast.

"You say, will Your Majesty listen to Xu Tang?" Yuan Chu muttered as he chewed something.

"If he doesn't listen to Su Tang's words, then there will be no way." Ting Yun pouted. Yes, if the queen mother came forward and Li Jingheng didn't take any measures for the face of the queen's family and the queen's mother, it would undoubtedly be tempting for Song Shujue. Thinking about it, I took a sip of tea and nodded slowly.

I was going to go early after eating, but it rained outside, and I was delayed for a while. When we arrived at Luanqi Pavilion, Sutang was taking a lunch break. The palace maids watched the tea for us, served snacks and went to the door. There are only three of us left in the main hall of the Luanqi Pavilion, which is twice the size of my Fu'an Palace. Yuan Chu once mentioned to me that she was a little afraid of Sutang when she entered the palace. I asked her why, but she couldn't answer, only said, "Maybe her aura is too strong to deter me." ”

Later, she gradually became less and less far away, at least now she sat in Luanqi Pavilion and did not talk to me about strange topics in order to relieve her tension.

"Xian Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang, Hui Niangniang." A girl dressed as a palace daughter came from the side hall and blessed us. I know her, she is a little palace maid who is related to an old lady next to Sutang in Lang's palace, and she has come to my palace to deliver things.

Ting Yun put down the fruit in his hand and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lang Wu?" ”

Hearing this, the little palace maid hurriedly shook her head and said, "Niangniang misunderstood, I am here to pass the word." Our mother asked me to tell the three mothers that the Song nobles were at peace with her, and told the ladies not to embarrass the queen for her. ”

"This ...... How reassuring is this, this is the first child in the palace. Yuan Chu muttered.

I asked, "What else does your mother say?" ”

The little palace maid replied to me: "Niangniang also said that the three maidens don't have to go to Shou'an Palace, everything will be fine." ”

Ting Yun pouted: "Don't let us worry, don't let us care, don't let us see her." ”

The little palace maid waved her hand again and again to explain: "The concubine Niangniang, our Niangniang, has no such intention." ”

Ting Yun ignored her, pinched a plum cake and said to herself, "Who knows." ”

Yuan Chu played a round and said: "Maybe I'm just afraid that we are worried." Since Sister Lang said so, let's go back first and don't disturb the queen. ”

I nodded, Buyue came to help me, I looked out the window, the rain had stopped. "I thought that the rain had stopped, so I went to the garden to see the scenery after the rain, and the small kitchen made red dates and horseshoe cakes, if you want to eat them, I will ask Yunzhi to send them to you." I say.

Ting Yun seemed to be still sulking, but when he heard that the jujube cake was again, he raised his hand and snorted, "Send me some." ”

The long street is cool after the rain, and there is still standing water on the stone slabs. I remember that when I entered the palace, some willow trees were planted in the courtyard of the garden, but then for some reason they were gone, and there was not a single one left. I once asked Li Jingheng why he got all the willow trees away, and he said, "It's ugly." ”

I really want to say a few words to him, how beautiful and graceful the willow tree is, how many literati and sang about it in ancient times? I also compare it to a beautiful woman! I don't understand the customs, I don't understand the customs.

I argued with him for a long time, and at last he agreed to plant one outside the palace, and I could see it from the castle tower.

I disagree with him on the matter of the "willow tree", but I have to admire him for his attainments in the vegetation of the garden. The garden in this palace was rebuilt by him in the garden that had not been taken care of for a long time by the first emperor. There was no decoration in the garden during the first emperor's time, and some beautiful flowers were placed on the stone slabs. I heard Ting Yun say that when she came to the palace to play when she was a child, she just didn't like the gardens in the palace.

This time, I deliberately only called Buyue to follow, and not only do I often have temporary thoughts about this matter, but I also like fewer people to follow.

I said to Buyue, "I don't know what happened to that willow tree." ”

Bu Yue tilted her head and recalled for a moment and said: "The front is the city tower, and it is the garden to go to the corner tower after the city tower, why don't you go along the way to take a look?" ”

It's good to think about it, since I think of the lonely willow tree, and I happened to come to the castle tower, it's good to go up and take a look.

The sky after the rain is surprisingly blue, and there is a sun with no temperature hidden in the clouds. The steps of the castle tower were a little steep, but they were very narrow, and Buyue had to hold me behind me so that I would not lose my balance and fall.

The view from the castle tower is excellent, overlooking the mountains and forests, and the few birds dotted in the middle are just right, just like the landscape paintings of the painters.

"Look, mother! The willow branches are green! It's greener than the Hu Yu that comes in! "Buyue is the first time to go up to the city tower, she used to hear me about the willow tree outside the palace, so she always wanted to go up to the city tower to see. I fell on the wall as high as my shoulder, and the willow tree was growing well, much greener than the other trees next to me that I couldn't name. "Such a good tree, how good it is to put it in the palace, but it can only be planted outside the palace." I muttered regretfully.

"The willow tree gives birth to catkins, don't be allergic to someone in the palace." An unfamiliar male voice came from behind me. I turned my head to see that it was a man dressed as a bearded man. Although he is dressed as a Hu person, his face is clean, his body is not magnificent, and he is tall and strong. It's not so much a Hu person, but more likely to be a leather-clad son. I took two steps back, and Buyue also stepped forward to block in front of me and asked for me, "Who?" ”

"Zhilan, it's my brother." The man tore off the fake beard that was braided into a short twist on his chin, and his face, which originally had a hint of frontier flavor, was only left with a noble temperament. The jaw and neck were beautifully divided, and I unconsciously ignored what he was saying to me.

Probably sensing my wandering, he reached out and snapped his fingers very loudly. "Little Zhilan, don't you remember me? You forgot about your own brother? ”

I fixed my mind and stared at his face, and he said he was my own brother? Are you kidding? I'm an orphan raised by my grandmother! Where did this cheap brother run out of? Changjun can't do whatever he wants, right? I shook my head resolutely and said, "I don't know you." ”
