Chapter 23: The Heart

To meet here today, it is naturally not a chance encounter, but Liulang did it intentionally, he deliberately waited on the way to the West Palace in Chunjin Pavilion, and walked around the corner, Yang Yanzhao avoided the road, looked at it from a distance, and was a little stunned, she wore a palace dress today, sitting on the high-end step, there were many servants beside her, and the flowers were full of flowers, noble and elegant, which made people feel a little afraid.

Seeing him here, Qing Xuan hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Chai Xiyun, waiting for the master to speak, Yang Yanzhao had retreated to the side at this time and saluted, Chai Xiyun expected him to venture into the palace, there must be something to discuss, and then whispered a word to Qing Xuan, and then continued to move forward.

Bu stopped in the hexagonal pavilion, Chai Xiyun only said that Bu Bao was uncomfortable, and wanted to stop to breathe, although the people around him have been serving since childhood, but in the inner court to meet with foreign ministers in private, it can still be concealed, Chai Xiyun and only said to Qing Xuan and Wanqin, Yuqin accompanied her to the rockery, stayed in the bright place to stare at people, and Qing Xuan stayed in front of the pavilion, just in case.

Chai Xiyun carefully turned into the depths of the rockery, and crashed into a sturdy embrace, and when she reacted, her hands had been tightly fixed by Yang Yanzhao, and the bodies of the two could only be touched between the sizes.

"What's wrong with me?" Yang Yanzhao got closer, and Chai Xiyun hurriedly raised his hand against his body, "You stand up, just say there." ”

Chai Xiyun's face was full of shyness, her breath was unstable, and a trace of her hair also dispersed when she was struggling, Yang Yanzhao looked at her, the corners of her mouth slowly pulled a thick smile, raised her hand lightly to help her pin the hair behind her ear, and said in a low voice, "The county lord is dressed in the palace today, which makes Liulang a little stunned." ”

Chai Xiyun raised his eyes and asked.

Liulang lowered his head and laughed, raised his eyes and coaxed, "It's good-looking, the county lord looks good in anything, but the palace clothes have a bit of majesty, which makes people fearful." ”

"I'm afraid, you dare to mess around." Chai Xiyun scolded again, and Yang Yanzhao hurriedly smiled, "Then I am indeed thinking about Jun and Nianjun, so I can't help it!" ”

Chai Xiyun smiled, then moved closer and asked, "Is the injury better?" How did you get into the palace today? ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thanks to the help of the Gao family brother today." Yang Yanzhao responded one by one.

"Cousin?" Chai Xiyun asked rhetorically, and then laughed again, "You have the ability, let the little marquis of the dynasty use it for you." ”

"The county lord laughed, and the elder brother of the Gao family also saw our friendship and was willing to make it happen." Yang Yanzhao said, then reached out to hold her jade wrist, and carefully put on an arm hidden in her sleeve, "I begged the fourth sister-in-law in the family to help me buy it, saying that it is a new product in Beijing, I didn't understand these pearl and cui hairpin rings, and they are not as precious as the stone inkstone." ”

"Duanshi inkstone?" Chai Xiyun couldn't help but be stunned, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know." ”

"Hmm" Yang Yanzhao raised his eyebrows and said sideways, "I also know that the pearl hairpin ornaments of the eldest prince of Pan, and the treasures of the paintings and ink treasures were sent to the Nanqing Palace one after another, and the sister specially invited you to meet her younger brother." ”

Yang Yanzhao's tone was indescribably sour, Chai Xiyun only heard his eyebrows, and Lang Ran chuckled, "I said how could you venture into the palace today, it turned out that I got the news that Concubine Shu wanted to invite me, and I heard this meaning, I knew that the Pan brothers would also come today." ”

Yang Yanzhao turned around and said slowly, "I was eating wine with my friends in the "Drunken Taoyuan" yesterday, but it happened that the Pan brothers were also there, they mentioned this matter, and the words and words were all you, it was simply blasphemy, their kind of frequent visitors to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, singing every night, and the concubines were in groups, when I thought that you were being remembered by that kind of person, I was bored in my heart, and I had to ask my brother to take me into the palace today. ”

Yang Yanzhao said indignantly, his forehead was slightly exposed because of anxiety, Chai Xiyun only felt that the general who was very young also had this puffing appearance, and he suddenly felt funny, but he was also happy, and lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Pan Long did send a lot of things, but I scattered them to the girls, that inkstone, Princess Pingning used it well, so I gave it to her, as long as it is not something you sent, I will not keep it myself." ”

"What did you say, you didn't stay." Yang Yanzhao turned around, his face was full of surprise, and asked, "What will happen to you about the things I sent." ”

"What you give, I will make it like a treasure, so that I can take it alive." Chai Xiyun's face was flushed, his eyes drooped, his dense eyelashes were on his eyelids, leaving a thin layer of shadows, his lips moved lightly, and he spit out this heart-wrenching sentence, Rao is heart and stone heart also softened by three points, not to mention that the person in charge of Liulang grabbed her hand in a panic, put it in front of his arms, and then said, "Me too, your things, I take them carefully, the day before yesterday was so dangerous, I also hid "Pingbiance" before fighting, just because it is something you cherish, I also cherish it." ”

His hands were as warm as jade, and they were very powerful, Chai Xiyun couldn't struggle, but he was also a little relieved because of this generosity, and suddenly raised his eyes, and was receiving Liulang's warm gaze.

"County Lord, County Lord, it's time to go." The low voice of the piano urges.

"This is coming" Chai Xiyun responded, and turned to Yang Yanzhao and said, "You and I are of the same heart, why should you risk entering the palace, even if Pan Long is very thoughtful about me, I will never have any friendship, I am only one person in my heart, you leave the palace early, okay, I'll go." ”

Chai Xiyun pulled out his hand and hurriedly walked out of the rockery, Liulang secretly laughed for a long time, and about a quarter of an hour later, Fang walked out of the rockery.

The West Palace was originally an excellent palace for repair, the Empress Dowager Fu Zhao returned to the palace and lived here, concentrating on worshiping the Buddha, when Zhao Kuangyin was in power, he left the rules, when he served his mother, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, and he respected the will, so although he was a member of the former dynasty, he lived a decent and stable life in the palace.

Chai Xiyun got off the car at the palace gate, and without waiting for the female envoy to report, he hurried into the inner palace, and the attendants on both sides were busy saluting, Chai Xiyun did not arrive in front of the steps, and a flowery grandmother greeted the door, and said with a smile in her mouth, "Listen to it, you know that it is Your Highness, and the mother has been looking forward to it for a long time." While speaking, this person had reached out and helped Chai Xiyun into the inner palace, and Chai Xiyun also smiled and said, "I have delayed something, Mama Sheng, is my aunt worshipping the Buddha?" ”

"I just came out of the Buddha hall, I ate some white fungus soup, and I'm resting in the inner room at the moment!" Mama Sheng answered, and took Chai Xiyun inside.

Sheng Mama is the old man of the first Zhou, originally the marriage of Queen Xuanyi, after Queen Xuanyi went, she followed Xiao Fuhou, that is, today's Queen Mother Zhou, the world returned to Zhao, the Queen Mother Zhou and her son went out to live in Fangzhou, and only brought Sheng Mama and Pei Mama two dedicated, the rest of the loyal servants including Chai Xiyun's nurse Xiang stayed in the palace in order to take care of Chai Xiyun, and then several younger maids were assigned to each palace, and two older grandmothers went two years ago, Chai Xiyun grew older, and the head of the palace around him was also proper and stable, let Xiang Nanniang also follow the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Chai Xiyun turned to the inner palace, but saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes sitting on the couch in the dark room, dressed in ink-colored regular clothes, with a beautiful phoenix-shaped pattern hooked with gold threads on the outer shirt, and the dragon and phoenix hairpin ring turned her hair into a high bun, with an otherworldly calm on her face, and she had a graceful and luxurious bearing.

"Say hello to my aunt" Chai Xiyun smiled and gave a salute, the Empress Dowager Zhou hurriedly put the ancient books on the side of the case, got up and took Chai Xiyun in her arms, and complained, "As soon as you leave for more than a month, you are crazy outside the palace!" Let me see. As she spoke, Empress Dowager Zhou picked up Chai Xiyun's cheek, looked at it for a moment and said, "It's ruddy, it's hard for this child to bother to take care of you." ”

"I brought some pastries and fruits for my aunt, which are refreshing and not greasy, and my aunt will taste them later." Chai Xiyun turned around and ordered Qing Xuan to put food on the table.

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled slowly, "There is nothing in the palace, and you still need to bring any pastries from the Nanqing Palace." ”

"Isn't it better for my daughter to do it herself than in the palace." Chai Xiyun smiled, and fiddled with the pastries in the box, between the movements, the Empress Dowager Zhou only felt a burst of aroma, and couldn't help asking, "It's so fragrant!" This is what spices are used, and the smell is so strong. ”

"Auntie, don't mention it, I came out of Concubine Pan Shu, she didn't invite me to choose what kind of bead powder makeup, and the fat powder in that room was mixed with all kinds of spices, but it smoked me bad." Chai Xiyun was disgusted, so she took off her coat, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help laughing, reached out to help her straighten out her inner dress, only to hear Chai Xiyun say again, "I have repeatedly rejected the people of the Pan family in the Nanqing Palace, thinking that I will go back to the palace this time to ask you for peace, and it is not good to refute Concubine Pan's face, so I responded." ”

"You have always done things well, and this should be the case, just go wash after you finish talking in a while." Then he asked again, "I can see Xiuping, what do you think?" ”

Chai Xiyun was slightly stunned, then put down the pastry, and sat on the bed with the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was slightly puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, it's not satisfactory?" ”

Chai Xiyun shook his head, sat down on the steps covered with a brocade carpet in front of the couch, and thought for a moment before speaking, "Auntie, my daughter asked you a word, what did you say about this woman's life." ”

"What a woman wants in her life is nothing more than the love of husband and wife..."At this point, Empress Dowager Zhou understood what she meant, and then said, "Okay, don't sell it to me, Xu Gongzi, you are not satisfied, or you have a crush on someone." ”

"My aunt is really smart, and my daughter can't hide anything from you." Chai Xiyun smiled lightly, hugged his knees with his arms, and said slowly, "Xu Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, and the Xu family and the Fu family are world friends, so they are the most suitable people, but there is a Yang Liugongzi who is like a tree in the wind and elegant and profound, and no matter how handsome Xu Gongzi is, he can't get into the eyes of his daughter." ”

"Yang Liugongzi?" Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be surprised, and the two old ladies serving beside her couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and Empress Dowager Zhou hurriedly asked, "Isn't it the Liulang of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion." ”

"Exactly," Chai Xiyun nodded.

Empress Dowager Zhou simply pulled her clothes and sat on the steps, and asked carefully, "When did you and him happen?" Chai Xiyun was a little embarrassed, only leaned sideways on the shoulder of the Empress Dowager Zhou, did not answer, the Empress Dowager Zhou smiled lightly, caressed Chai Xiyun's hair lovingly, and said, "In the end, if you are really happy, I will naturally not stop you, as long as he is sincere to you and can hurt you." As for your uncle! You're going to complain, but it's okay, I'll go talk to him. ”

"Thank you, auntie" Chai Xiyun raised her hand to wrap her arms around the body of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and said with a little coquettishness, "Auntie always thinks properly for her daughter." Chai Xiyun leaned on her and stopped for a long time, Fang called "Auntie" again, Empress Dowager Zhou responded gently, and Chai Xiyun then said, "You have to accompany Yun'er well." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou laughed slowly, "Silly child, my aunt will always leave you one day, so I have to hand you over to a person who is proper and reliable, and puts you on the tip of my heart, so that I can leave with peace of mind and go to see your father and queen mother." At this point, Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes became a little darker, Chai Xiyun tightened the ring, and said softly, "No, my aunt wants to accompany me for the rest of my life, and when Yun'er is gray-haired, I can still rely on my aunt's shoulder to be coquettish." ”

"Girl, when you are gray-haired, what will that aunt be old!" Empress Dowager Zhou quipped, and everyone laughed, but suddenly an exclamation came, "Ah! What's wrong with the county lord's neck? ”
