Longqing five years of spring.

After this cold winter, everything is gradually recovering, and the street market is once again noisy. Merchants from all over the world from the south to the north gather here, like a prosperous world.

Located not far from the Imperial Palace, the Horse Mansion seems quite quiet, probably because it is far away from the city and has few friends with the powerful, and it is rarely visited here.

As the younger sister of His Majesty today, Princess Ning'an is unusually low-key, and even has very little time to go out on weekdays.

It's not that she's afraid of anything, but it gives a sense that that's what she is. On weekdays, I plant flowers and plants in the garden, and enjoy the fish and landscapes.

After all, as the most favored princess of the first emperor, she is the only one who can stay in the Forbidden City, and she has enough prestige, even if the current queen is slightly inferior, but she doesn't seem to show it.

In fact, for this princess, the original emperor Zhu Zaiyuan was still quite jealous, after all, the other party was King Jing's faction back then, although the two were not in harmony later, but they were always far away from themselves.

So much so that the emperor often sent Jinyi guards to monitor, but after a long time, he lost interest.

The Horse Mansion is indeed very quiet, and the relationship with the courtiers has not been made friends over the years, and the relationship with the harem is also very dull, as if there are only two people in the Horse Mansion in this world, and even the horse who has always loved to have fun has gradually faded out of the wine shop teahouse.

From a distance, it seems that this Horse Mansion has not been renovated for some days, and there is always a gap compared to the luxury of those palace nobles who live outside the capital.

If it is compared with the imperial city on the side, it is even worse.

Behind the painted gate is a small and elegant courtyard, in which all kinds of rare things gather in the garden, but the flowers and grass also grow very well, and it can be seen that the owner of the garden really loves these livelihoods.

There are pavilions and pavilions in the garden, just like the royal garden style, elegant, do not lose the majestic and majestic. Although it is a little dilapidated, it is still difficult to hide the majesty.

In a pavilion in this garden, a woman wearing an ordinary brocade dress sat on the edge and looked at the fish swimming in the lake, and couldn't help but show a faint smile, and under the light of the early sun, it was a little tranquil.

Beside the woman, another man was dressed in coarse linen. He was shoveling dirt with a shovel, and it looked like he was planting these flowers and plants. He also muttered: "Speaking of Mr. Shen, this rose variety is strange...... But it's really gorgeous. ”

Listening to the man's words, the woman hurriedly spoke: "I have to say that this Mr. Shen does have some means...... Those peonies are going to die, but after his guidance, they are vigorous again......"

There was a little unconvincing in his words, but he was very admiring, and finally he had to laugh and stop talking.

The smile on the man's face never diminished, and he turned over the dirt as he lowered the flower seedlings into the pit. The mouth continued: "I have been living like this for a year, but I am also comfortable......"

The woman's body trembled slightly, as if she wanted to turn back, but she still didn't look back, but smiled faintly, and said, "Who would have thought that a dignified and famous horse would become a gardener here." ”

The man sighed in his heart. He had already been prepared for the other party to avoid this question like this, but he was still a little helpless, but he quickly recovered his expression and laughed: "Then who would have thought that the dignified Princess Ning'an would wear the clothes of ordinary people." ”

Princess Ning'an paused slightly. Then he glanced at the clothes on his body, couldn't help but smile, and said, "This dress is indeed comfortable to wear...... There is no royal distinction between ordinary people's families. ”

The man nodded, and then sighed: "The princess thinks like this, but it's rare......"

The woman was originally very dissatisfied with the man's repeated mention of these words before, but she was still angered by this sentence after all. She snorted lightly and said in a deep voice, "I've really had enough of this year...... Do you really think I want to live like this? ”

The man's grip on the shovel trembled slightly, and he continued to fill in the soil, but he did not realize that the water had submerged the surrounding area. He was silent for a long time before he whispered, "And so long has passed......"

"I will never forget ...... for the rest of my life" Princess Ning'an shouted, interrupting the man's words, and then seemed to feel that she was a little out of shape, so she said in a deep voice: "Li and I tell you that I will not stop, I will sit and eat in this garden all day and wait for death...... I won't. ”

The man's face was cloudy for a while, and his voice gradually deepened: "Mr. Zhang came over a few days ago...... But you said that you like to raise flowers in the garden, but you also enjoy it. ”

Princess Ning An suddenly sneered and said coldly: "Mr. Zhang is a member of the cabinet, and he came here just to visit you and me...... How many royal relatives can be left in the capital now...... Are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid. ”

Being scolded like this, Li He calmed down a lot, and after being silent for a long time, he smiled lightly: "I have said in the past, I will support you in whatever you want to do...... It's the same today. ”

Listening to Li He's words gradually eased, Princess Ning An suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart, after all, the other party was her husband, although it was given by the emperor to marry, but after all, it was also chosen by herself, and that feeling was always there.

Maybe Li He has no feelings for himself, because His Majesty gave him a marriage and chose it himself, he ruined his good future and became a concubine of the imperial court.

It's just that since they got married, they know each other very well. I can also feel that his heart is not here, but he is eager to be like an ordinary literati, to be born as a scholar, to enter the officialdom, and to serve the country in the future.

Instead of entering the royal family like this, he wants to stay away from officialdom and avoid suspicion, and even those friends who are now officials in the court in the past must stay away, which is really not what he likes.

But he endured it all after all, and gradually began to adapt to this life, and even gave himself some small surprises from time to time, even if he didn't like him that much, he was still very considerate.

So I felt more and more that what I had just said was a bit heavy, and I wanted to ease it up, but I didn't know where to start, and after being silent for a long time, I sighed bitterly and got up to leave.

Li He, who was still planting flowers and plants, sighed slightly, then got up and said lightly: "Mr. Shen can't save ......?"

Princess Ning An hesitated slightly, paused for a while, and then nodded, "Send someone to inform Miss Wu...... This dragged on in advance, and Shen Wuyan wanted to use us...... Let's just let Miss Wu say more good things to Meng Chong. ”

Li He's eyes changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Meng Chong is a high-arched person, and Gao Ge Lao has always been wary of you and me...... Last month, he also proposed that you and I move out of the capital, and I had to be suspicious. ”

Princess Ning'an nodded slightly and chuckled: "Gao Gong thinks that Meng Chong is his person, but Meng Chong may not be willing to be Gao Gong's person...... Gao Gong has always held a grudge against Miss Wu by His Majesty's side......"

"Miss Wu is by His Majesty's side to protect Meng Chong, so that Gao Gong will think that Miss Wu and Meng Chong are in the same group...... Chen Hong is an example. Li He's face changed slightly, and he suddenly showed appreciation for Princess Ning'an.

Princess Ning An didn't have the slightest hint of joy, and gradually became worried again: "These are actually all foreseen by Shen Wuyan...... He sat in prison and enjoyed his success......"

"Mr. Shen's side...... In fact, it doesn't seem to be an enemy now, so it's okay to wait and see first......" Li He sighed lightly, obviously agreeing with Princess Ning'an's words, the reason why he said this was really helpless.

Princess Ning'an nodded and responded, "Shen Wuyan will definitely stand on the prince's side...... When the emperor is a hundred years old, he is an enemy...... But now I don't know how long the emperor will last. ”

"I heard the imperial doctor in the palace say a few days ago that Your Majesty's body is very weak...... I think it's also the martial girl......" When he said this, Li He's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't continue.

Princess Ning'an frowned slightly, but she could also understand the meaning of Li He's words, so she didn't say any more, but remembered another thing, and hurriedly asked, "I heard that Meng Chong's godson killed Shen Wuyan's father-in-law in Suzhou. ”

"It does." Li He snorted coldly and said with great disdain: "Qi Yao's eunuch is indeed a little bold...... However, Shen Wuyan's trouble this time didn't seem to be so simple. ”

"The Criminal Department has never ordered whether to behead or not, I think it is Concubine Li and the queen who are Zhang Luo...... There seems to be some problems with this matter, but how will it ......" Princess Ning An rarely showed a hint of appreciation, and said: "I have to say, Qi Yao's move is indeed powerful, and it is not easy for Shen Wuyan to get out." ”

Li He smiled and didn't say much.

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor was a little unwell today, and all the concubines in the harem came to visit, but they were all blocked out, except for Concubine Li and the queen, only Miss Wu accompanied her on both sides.

And this is not a good thing for the high arch.

Gao Gong, who had been waiting outside the palace gate for two hours, kept walking around the hall, and muttered: "How can this matter be put aside...... You can't let go of a great opportunity. ”

Meng Chong, who was standing in front of the palace gate, also looked sad, looking at Gao Gong angrily, and didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until Concubine Li Guifei walked out of the palace with the crown prince and the queen one after another, Gao Gong immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Meng, if you go in to report it, you will say that I have something important to do." ”

"Your Majesty has said that he doesn't want to see anyone today...... Gao Ge Lao should go back quickly......" Before Meng Chong finished speaking, he looked at Meng Chong and was about to attack with anger on his face, so he hurriedly added: "If Ge Lao has anything important, you can tell me below...... Tell Your Majesty on behalf of the elder. ”

"Nope." Gao Gong snorted coldly, and then stepped forward and knocked Meng Chong aside, and broke into the palace like this. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
