26. A chance encounter in the garden
One hundred and eighty days to Huaguo, sunny, sunny in summer, fresh air after rain, in Wanyuxuan nest for two and a half days should go out to bask in the sun. Xia Xingji.
Two days ago, in the imperial study, Emperor Jing threw down the music and got up to the window to look at the dark and dreary sky, the wind had damaged many potted flowers and trees, which was originally a sign of rain but it did not rain for two days. Emperor Jing rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "How is the investigation?" Su Kesa: "Back to Your Majesty, it is the prince who is taking advantage of the chaos to spread rumors." Emperor Jing sighed: "Except for him, no one else can do such a childish thing, chewing his tongue like a woman in the market." It seems that I am too tolerant of him, what did Qin Tianjian say? If there is no reasonable explanation, go back to your hometown to retire. β
In a certain period, every national dynasty has a place for divination, astrology, and communication with the heavens, there are priests in Xiliang, sorcerers in southern Xinjiang, national teachers in Northern Yan, and Qin Tianjian in China. Su Kesa said expressionlessly, "Prison Supervisor Qintian is saying that there is nothing abnormal, and the rain will come soon. Emperor Jing propped his hands in front of the window and looked carefully at the sky outside, as if to judge the credibility of the prisoner's words.
After a while, he turned around with a wave of his sleeves: "Proposed purpose, saying that I recently dreamed of the emperor, his old man was a little lonely alone in the imperial tomb, and his unhappy mood affected the celestial phenomena. I was worried about my father, I was restless all day long, I hated to go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany one or two, but when the emperor died, I trusted the society Ji Limin and me, how dare I bear it, I especially respect the prince for me to fulfill my wish, and I can't slack off when I go to the imperial mausoleum from now on. "Tweet"
Not to mention that Emperor Jing's holy decree was really timely, it rained every other day, starting from midnight until noon. This timely rain made the panicked harem in front of the dynasty, and the people who were talking about it shouted for Emperor Jing's grand event, and all the remarks were self-defeating. Because of the weather, on the afternoon of the third day of the concubine's overboard, Emperor Jing canceled Mengxue's coursework, and waited for the weather to improve before starting the class, and initially set a five-day rest period.
Xia Xing stretched his waist and stepped out of the door: "But it doesn't seem to be necessary now, because the sun is out today, and it is estimated that classes will resume tomorrow, and it is really a short time to relax." Bing Ning and Lu Wan followed closely behind: "Your Highness, where are we going?" Xia Xing said very arrogantly: "Of course I went to the Imperial Garden, I should go to the garden in such a good weather." Bingning: "γγγγγγ "It's true that the sun is shining right now, but a storm has just passed, and the flowers are withering in the garden.
Lu Wan opened her mouth and didn't speak, it was really bad to dampen the enthusiasm of this princess, it was rare that she didn't want to be lazy in Wan Yuxuan. When Xiao Dezi was first assigned, he followed Prince Xia Han, and he followed Princess Gu'an, and at that time, he was glad that he didn't take care of Xia Han, who was not in good health, but he didn't think that this princess was not worrying at all. Compared with the five princes and the second princess, they can be demons, and when they think of reporting the whereabouts of the prince and princess of Beiyan to Gonggong Su.
Xiao Dezi said very flat every time: "Prince Xia Han is very well-behaved, every time the slave recommends him to watch anything, he will watch anything, he will work hard in class and after class, because his body is weak, he rests very early every day, and he always gets sick every few daysγγγγγ And himself: "The Holy Spirit Princess doesn't learn the rules today and pretends to be sick, yesterday he pulled the five princes to skip class together, the day before yesterday I couldn't sleep and played the piano in the middle of the night, and I didn't go to class the next morningγγγγγ β
At that time, Gonggong Su looked at himself with very magical eyes and asked, "Didn't you recommend something to Princess Holy Spirit to guide her behavior or character?" His answer was: "When the slave recommended the princess to go out for a walk and go to the other palace, the princess asked me how I thought Wan Yuxuan's layout?" The slave and maid praised Wan Yuxuan in various ways, saying that His Majesty specially prepared it for the princess, and the princess said that since Wan Yuxuan had such a good scenery, why did she spend time going elsewhere? It is also said that wasting time is a waste of life, and let the slave and maid not make such unnutritious suggestions in the future. β
Then he looked at Father-in-law Su expectantly and asked, "Is this counted?" Father-in-law Su replied with a dark face: "Don't worry about her in the future, although I want to raise her rude, willful, ignorant and rude character, but she is too tormented." "Alas, the past is unbearable. In Lu Wan's own memories of wandering, she has already arrived at the Imperial Garden, the whole garden exudes a withered and desolate atmosphere, the flowers and branches are bare, the ground is yellow, and the best thing is that there is a touch of shadow in this poignant scene.
Bing Ning said in a low voice: "It's the evening charging instrument." Xia Xing nodded and walked over directly: "Is the evening charger also here to enjoy the scenery?" At the same time, Wan Chongyi also stood up after being reminded by the maid, turned around and saluted: "I have seen the Holy Spirit Princess, and the princess and concubine are not here to enjoy the scenery, but to collect flowers." β
"Oh? Flower? Saying that, Xia Xing looked down at the fallen flowers covered with soil, as if he saw Xia Xing's doubts, and Wan Chongyi explained: "The concubine takes flowers for incense making, not for bottle decoration, so the appearance is beautiful and ugly." And the flowers here have a kind of dilapidated beauty, which is very in line with the name of the incense to be made by the concubine. β
Xia Xing asked in passing, "What's your name?" Wan Chongyi looked at Xia Xing's eyes, and spit out three words: "Condensation incense!" He added: "The concubine heard that Prince Xia Han was unwell, and she wanted to visit, but His Majesty ordered that the palaces should not be disturbed, so she had to make a sachet to express her feelings." Saying that, he took the sachet from the maid's hand: "There is sandalwood offered here in front of the Buddha, which can calm the nerves and calm the air, I hope that my Buddha will bless His Royal Highness, I happened to meet the princess today, and asked the princess to transfer it on my behalf." Xia Xing took it and said, "This princess is a brother on behalf of the king, thank you for the evening charge." He handed it to Lu Wan.
Xia Xing raised his head and looked directly: "I heard that the evening charging instrument is the best at making incense, but I didn't expect the female celebrity to be so exquisite?" Wan Chongyi bowed her head slightly and smiled: "Princess Holy Spirit has won the award, and concubines and other idlers have to find some things to pass the time, and they usually don't have any hobbies, so they make incense and embroider some small things, but practice makes perfect." There will be many people in this palace, but the princess has never seen it. "It's very shy, polite, and simple, Xia Xing thought.
If Sand Slider hadn't said that she killed the palace people, and she didn't save her when she died, she really couldn't see it on the surface. Xia Xing smiled: "Oh? Idlers? If the idlers in the palace have such exquisite embroidery skills, they will not come to the evening to charge the instrument and you want to embroider, which shows that the talent of the instrument is obvious to all. The words pointed directly at the merciful nobleman who died tragically in the cold palace.
Wan Chongyi was very scared and said: "The concubine didn't expect that the noble person was that kind of person, the concubine saw her praising her show bag so much at that time, thinking that she really liked it, and sincerely wanted a pair, and said that she would give it to the concubine." Seeing that she was getting along with the concubine at that time, the concubine once envied their friendship, but she didn't expect to make a raft for people to use, and almost hurt the concubine, and the concubine was only to blame for not knowing people clearly. "I look annoyed that I was stupid.
Xia Xing nodded thoughtfully: "In this world, I am most afraid of not knowing people clearly." Wan Chongyi said sympathetically: "Actually, the pity is also a pitiful person, I was originally good with the concubine, and I had a companion in the palace, but in the end, I buried everything with my own hands, and I died in that place, and I was alone." "It looks like you pity her, why, you were almost affected by her."
"Alas, people die like lights go out, and the concubine is very angry at first, and now think about what is the need, it is not easy in this palace. In fact, the concubines can understand her thoughts, they are all newcomers, and the concubines entered the palace later than her, but why should they press her, their status is higher than her and more favored than her. Jealous, unwilling, heart higher than the sky but life thinner than paper, in the end only ended up with a thin face, even the end of the relatives, I can't think about it, I can't see clearly, how sad it is. β
Does it mean that the noble man did not put himself in the right position and took the blame for himself? Xia Xing smiled and shook his head: "Wan Chongyi still don't mention her, since the poor nobleman is no longer there, let everything go with her." If she knew that there were still people who understood her so much and missed her, I am afraid that she would be very uneasy to leave. By the way, in three days it will be the 'first seven', and I heard that the dead will come back on this day to say goodbye to their relatives and friends. β
Wan Chongyi froze for a moment, and soon smiled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Zi is silent and strange, it can be seen that the words of ghosts and gods are not true." Xia Xing tilted his head: "Oh, is it?" This princess doesn't believe in this at all, all the people who have passed away in Beiyan have returned to their original positions, and we are all happy that they can serve the gods. As for the reincarnation of humans and animals, I only heard it when I came to China, and I don't know if the first seven times the noble people don't come back, but the emperor has been dead for more than ten years and still gave His Majesty a dream, and Wan Chongyi doesn't believe it as a Huaguo? β
Wan Chongyi's face was a little pale: "Princess Holy Spirit, this is ......" "Oh, I also heard that I didn't see the light of day for these three days because of the injustice of the death of a noble person." Wan Chongyi barely calmed down: "This, didn't Your Majesty say that it was caused by the emperor, don't you have to guess and panic." "Yes, if it weren't for His Majesty coming out to refute the rumors, this princess would really be pitiful to the nobles, Wan Chongyi stayed in Lanling Palace and didn't go out, I don't know that it was spread all over the palace that day, saying that God can't stand it, this rain is the blood and tears of the nobles." With a flutter, the flower basket fell.
Wan Chongyi was so frightened that she turned back, it turned out that the maid Xiaolan let go of her hand and dropped the flower basket without being frightened, and the petals in the basket splashed out and scattered all over the ground. This woke Xiaolan up, looked at everyone looking at her, and muttered: "Slave maid ......" Wan Chongyi said angrily: "How to learn the rules, hairy, see how I will punish you when I go back." β
He turned to Xia Xing again and said, "It's really rude, Princess Holy Spirit smiled, and blamed me for my lax discipline, and I asked for forgiveness when I disturbed the princess." Xia Xing shook his head and said gently: "It's okay, this princess is not so weak, but she is the maid of the evening chargeγγγγγγ Don't be afraid, Princess Ben won't punish you. Wan Chongyi reluctantly smiled and said, "It's not early, and the concubine has been out for a while, so it's time to go back." β
