This day is the eighth day of the first month of June, Concubine Li as usual, after dinner, she was accompanied by Chun Tao to the back garden for a walk, the fragrance of flowers is full of flowers, especially the colorful moon flowers are in full bloom, the breeze is blowing, and the sweet fragrance is refreshing.

After walking for a while, Concubine Li felt a little tired, so she stopped leaning on the white marble railing.

"Chun Tao, go cut some of that Yueji back and insert it into the bottle, the palace will rest for a while!"

"No! Chun Tao will go and cut some back. Chun Tao said and walked towards the place where the scissors were placed.

Knowing that Concubine Li loves flowers, she often cuts some flowers back, so Chun Tao hid scissors under the piers in the back garden.

Just as Chun Tao turned around, Concubine Li glanced at it, there was no one around, and quickly blocked the flower-shaped pillar on the white marble railing with her wide sleeves, turned slightly, took out an object from under the half-section of the base, hid it in the sleeve at a fast speed, and restored the base to its original state.

It's fast, it's just a blink of an eye.

Just after all this was done, suddenly a crisp clog sound came from far and near.

Concubine Li raised her eyes and saw Concubine Yang walking towards this side surrounded by a group of maidservants.

This is the personality difference between people, some people are born like to be high-profile, like the feeling of being held by the stars, and some people like to be low-key, like to be alone, like to be quiet, and even quiet is a little mysterious, Concubine Li is the latter.

Concubine Li hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Say hello to Sister Yang Fei!"

"Excuse me! Concubine Li's sister is also enjoying the shade here! ”

Concubine Yang said, her eyes looked around, as if there was someone hidden in the back garden that was gradually darkening, and seeing that Concubine Li was alone, she said with curiosity and exaggeration: "I have always known that Sister Concubine Li likes to be quiet, why don't you bring a few more people in the back garden this big night!" ”

"Thank you Sister Yang for your concern, the concubine brought the spring peach out, isn't that."

Jiang Li said and pointed not far away, Yang Fei looked sideways, and saw Chun Tao carrying a pair of scissors coming out from under the bridge pier.

Chun Tao heard the sound of talking, and saw that it was Concubine Yang, so she quickly put down the scissors and asked for peace.

Jiang Li stared at Concubine Yang's eyes, and Concubine Yang seemed to be a little weak and didn't dare to look at her at all.

"Huh! Why did my sister still let people carry the scissors out, what is this going on? ”

Concubine Yang looked at Chun Tao with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li giggled and said: "Sister I like flowers, seeing that the moon season in this garden is blooming beautifully, especially the fragrance of this flower, which makes people smell very comfortable, so I deliberately asked Chun Tao to cut a few branches back and insert them at the head of the bed, so that my sister smiled, and let Chun Tao cut a few branches for my sister to take back, it should be a good night's dream!" ”

"Haha, I see! My sister is really Yaxing! However, your habit of going out without people is not good, in case you ......"

Concubine Yang didn't seem to give up without looking for someone, and her eyes kept shooting at the hidden places in the depths of the forest and the heels of the walls in the garden.

Hum! I'm afraid it's not so kind! In case what, in case there is a wild man, you can have an article to do, right? Jiang Li secretly cursed in her heart, but smiled sweetly on her face.

"Thank you, sister, for your pity! It's just that this garden is also the king's back garden, the Praetorian Guards are heavily guarded, and I don't dare to hide the deadly villains, so don't worry, sister! ”

Concubine Yang noticed that Jiang Li was already on guard, and she really didn't find any figure, so she pretended to take Jiang Li's hand and pretend to be affectionate.

"Where did my sister go, Bengong is just worried that the flowers and trees in this garden will grow lushly, what if there is a worm or snake, my sister is so weak, and I scare my sister when I come out!"

"It's still my sister who will hurt people, look at the careless person of the concubine, I didn't expect these at all, thank you sister for reminding me, next time I go out, let the slaves and maids bring a sickle, and see what insects and snakes dare to come out and make a mistake."

Jiang Li smiled sweetly at Concubine Yang, estimating that hiding a knife in her smile was her mood at the moment.

At this time, Chun Tao cut a large handful of moon flowers, and Jiang Li asked her to divide it into two parts and handed one to Concubine Yang's maidservant.

"Is my sister still wandering around the garden? My sister came early, and her feet hurt a little, so I won't disturb my sister's garden Yaxing! ”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she was blessed and left the back garden with Chun Tao in her arms.

"Okay, sister, watch out for the steps!"

When Jiang Li walked away, Concubine Yang came to the railing that Jiang Li was leaning on just now, looked up and down carefully, and couldn't see a flaw, she shook her head, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, it seemed that she was thinking too much.

When she returned to the dormitory, Jiang Li sent out the slaves and maids in the house, asked Chun Tao to find a container to arrange flowers, and when there was no one, she quickly took out a small note from her sleeve, glanced at it hurriedly, and then put the note into the candle flame and lit it, and threw it into the incense burner after it turned into ashes.

Jiang Li recalled the words on the note in her mind: "Fire in July, clothes in September." Under the light moon fragrance wind swing, leaning on the dry people than pear blossoms. ”

I quickly came to the conclusion that on the evening of the ninth day of the seventh month, the swing frame next to the lilac tree will not be the ninth day of the seventh month tomorrow!

The next day, when the sun was setting and the last touch of gold disappeared into the sky, Jiang Li took her personal maid Chun Tao and Xia He for a walk as usual.

The hazy orange palace lamps have been lit up, and they have also attracted countless moths and small insects to fly around the lights, and some of them have rushed directly to the flames, and every morning, the ground under the palace lamps is a piece of residual flowers.

With the crisp sound of clogs, Jiang Li walked under a palace lamp, but her eyes never left the lamp, silently looking at the flying moths, feeling as if she was one of them, knowing that she would be injured completely, but she couldn't resist the scorching temperature and beautiful light brought by the flames.

Seeing Concubine Li go north, Xia He asked softly, "Niangniang, aren't we going to the back garden today?" ”

Concubine Li smiled slightly, and did not answer, but Chun Taoxin was straightforward, and said in a volume that could only be heard by the three of them: "Lest you go to the back garden and run into someone again, which is a little annoying." ”

"How many times have I told you, use more eyes and less mouth, you just like to do the opposite."

Concubine Li's face was calm, as quiet as water, more like talking to herself, and the three of them walked towards the lotus pond in the west.

At this time, it is the willow tip on the moon, the lotus flowers in the pond bloom in a thousand postures against the background of the green lotus leaves, some small lotus only show sharp corners, some have already shown their beauty, the unique fragrance drifts with the wind, the light yellow pollen is like the paint in the hands of the painter, smeared in the lotus leaves, and also sprinkled into the water, the red, yellow and white tricolor koi fish play in the water, scramble to eat the pollen that falls, so that the round lotus leaves nod frequently, as if welcoming the arrival of the watchers.

The three of them walked along the pond to watch the fish play in the water, Chun Tao and Xia He knew that Jiang Li liked to eat lotus seeds, and every year when the lotus pod was ripe, they would let people pick it, and they had a soft spot for the faint fragrance and sweetness.

Today, I saw that there were some ripe lotus pods, so I wanted to pick them, but most of the lotus pods were born in the middle of the water, and the arms were not long enough.

Concubine Li said: "You two pay attention to safety, go to the front of the palace to see the lilacs, and wait to eat the lotus seeds you picked." ”

"Okay, Niangniang only needs to wait for a while, and there will be green crispy and sweet lotus seeds to eat!"

Coaxing the master to be happy, it is also a time when the feeling of being a slave is not yet glorious, not to mention how fun it is to pick lotus, Chun Tao and Xia He immersed themselves in lotus picking and did not look back.

Jiang Lilian moved lightly, floating like a lotus fairy, and soon came to the swing frame under the lilac tree.

The beautiful low lilacs are growing vigorously, almost covering the way they came, and the lilacs are in full bloom and blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing and fragrant.

The moon stars are scarce, the breeze is light, the petals are flying, the dark fragrance is blowing, and the leaves are rustling.

Under the moonlight, the deep or shallow petals spread all over the ground, like a glowing purple carpet, and the beauty is unbearable to step on.

Jiang Li gently brushed the light purple petals on the swing frame and held them in her hand, and then raised her hand to watch them fall from the sky.

However, gently falling at the same time as the petals, there was also a masked man in black.
