At the beginning of the day after the snow, it was a sunny and good day. The breath of spring quietly and silently enveloped Luoyang City, and the spring of the third year of Yongxi is coming. It seems that because the weather is warm and the air is clear, the winter haze in the Wei Palace is gradually cleansed, and there is fresh air in the palace forbidden.

Gao Cheng in the middle of the service went straight into the forbidden garden as if no one was around. He was dressed in the official uniform of the Great Wei, with a neat crown and belt, and strode towards Cuiyun Pavilion. Cui Jishu followed behind him and also struggled forward. Whenever the officials saw the high servants, they saluted from afar. The eunuchs and palace maids bowed in silence. Cui Jishu couldn't help but be in a trance when he looked at Gao Cheng's upright and cold back. Once upon a time, Shizi was still a little boy who laughed and scolded him, but now it is no longer time, and now it is not what it used to be.

Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue is the emperor's new favorite, and the Son of Heaven does not shy away from living with her in the palace Cuiyun Pavilion. Queen Gao Changjun's Jiaofang Hall has long been crowded, and the queen is dedicated to chanting the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, and she doesn't seem to take grace to heart. But it hurt the other palace concubines. Although the queen governs the harem very strictly, no one dares to talk nonsense, but after all, there are many people who have grievances, and the Wei Palace is full of ominous atmosphere.

Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue is extremely conservative, and he will not omit it when he asks the queen about Anding Province.

When I woke up early this morning, I felt that the sunlight outside was shining directly on the window, and the bright light that came in was several times stronger than usual. I asked someone to go out and take a look, and it was really a rare good weather. Sitting in front of the delicately carved and quite chic grape-patterned bronze mirror, watching Qian Yuan comb her hair into a flying fairy bun and insert a golden step, but suddenly saw Emperor Yuan Xiu sitting not far behind her with a thoughtful look from the mirror. Yuan Mingyue originally thought that Yuan Xiu was sitting behind her and watching her make up, but she was a little frustrated at this time.

Yuan Mingyue stood up, looked at the figure of the lotus-colored blouse and the madder skirt in the mirror, and was very satisfied, so she turned around and walked in front of Yuan Xiu and shouted, "Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Xiu seemed to be frightened, and suddenly raised his head, but stared at Yuan Mingyue, neither speaking nor moving for a long time. looked at Yuan Mingyue as if he didn't know him.

Yuan Mingyue saw that he was looking directly at him, so focused, so she walked to him, knelt down, fell on his knees, and laughed in a low voice, "The concubine will go to the Jiaofang Palace to greet the queen, and she will go back when she goes." ”

Yuan Xiu didn't speak, just raised his right hand and gently stroked Yuan Mingyue, hair, and cheeks on his lap...... His eyes were confused, and he suddenly asked, "If one day, Lone leaves this Luoyang Palace, are you willing to stay by Lone's side?" ”

"Leave Luoyang?" Yuan Mingyue was stunned, slowly raised her head, and looked up at Yuan Xiu in confusion. Yuan Xiu didn't answer, and fell into deep thought again. "No matter where Your Majesty is, the concubine will definitely be with you and will never leave." Yuan Mingyue shook Yuan Xiu's hand and replied resolutely.

Yuan Xiu's heart shook, as if he had great courage, he also held Yuan Mingyue's hand tightly, only then did he look at her intently, and said for a long time, "Lone will not let you suffer half a grievance." Seeing that Yuan Mingyue seemed to be still thinking about what he said just now, she helped her up, walked hand in hand to the door, and smiled softly, "Go ahead." After all, the queen is presiding over the feed, and she can't be rude to her. ”

Yuan Mingyue didn't speak again, she had many feelings in her heart, she just smiled and bowed, and went out with Qian Qian and the others.

In the Jiaofang Palace, the spring breeze warms up, and the cold in the middle of winter gradually fades away. Ruoyun looked through the heavy gauze tents in the hall and saw the queen Gao Changjun who was buried in writing scriptures. There was no one in the hall, she walked to the queen's side lightly, knelt down and whispered softly, "Your Highness, Zuo Zhaoyi has just come out of Cuiyun Pavilion, and she wants to greet the queen from the garden to the Jiaofang Palace, but she was delayed in watching the flowers by Luochuan." ”

Gao Changjun didn't raise his head, his mind was still on the scriptures, and he seemed to be casually saying, "Zuo Zhaoyi is playful, don't worry about her." ”

If the clouds are silent.

Gao Changjun saw that she was still not leaving, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The crown of the prince seems to be in order, and he also went to the inner garden." Ruoyun thought about it while saying.

Gao Changjun looked at the scripture he had just written, and looked at it for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about him." ”

There are large spring flowers in the sun of Luochuan. I don't know what's going on, maybe it's just in season, and suddenly it all bloomed overnight. The ice has just melted, and the garden is still only a few faint shades of goose yellow and light green, and the vitality is not vigorous. Luoshui has just thawed, the water is murmuring, this large area of golden, lined with clear flowing water, makes the frozen snow cover the forbidden garden for a winter add some rare interest.

Gao Cheng was followed by Cui Jishu, and among the attendants of the general consul of the court, there was also the Huangmen squire who would be in the position sooner or later, so naturally no one dared to stop him. Cui Jishu's eyes were sharp, and before he reached the Yin of Luochuan, he blurted out, "Shizi, there are people under the tree." "Subconsciously stopped.

Gao Cheng continued to walk forward, he wanted to cross the bridge.

"The son of the world, as if the lord is a concubine, do you want to avoid it?" Cui Jishu hurriedly followed up and asked.

Gao Cheng stopped to take a closer look.

Not far from the other side, there is a figure mixed with lotus and madder under the large golden spring flowers, climbing the flower branches. A little farther away from her were a few palace maids. Gao Cheng recognized at a glance that it was the former princess of the plains, and the current Zuo Zhaoyi, Yuan Mingyue. It was a surprise to him to meet here.

Yuan Mingyue looked almost unchanged, but the tips of her eyes and eyebrows were no longer as clear and clear as before. Gao Cheng couldn't help but walk onto the bridge, standing on a high place and looking at Yuan Mingyue, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw for the first time in front of Yongning Temple a few years ago. Later, he was also extremely tempted, and even wanted to marry her, which was a feeling that no one except Yuan Mingyue had ever given him. Sun Teng, who also wanted to marry Princess Pingyuan, is now willing to be a cronie, and even Yuan Mingyue finally married another woman, which has become a big obstacle between his sister, Empress Gao Changjun and Emperor Yuan Xiu. Thinking of the day when he saw his sister's light makeup and plain clothes in the Jiaofang Palace, and that kind of coldness, Gao Cheng felt another taste in his heart.

When Yuan Mingyue was in high spirits, she suddenly saw Qian Yuan giving her a look, as if she wanted to tell her something. She let go of the flower branch and looked at the calamus in bewilderment. saw her quickly glance behind her, and quickly lowered her head again. The palace maids were also silent. Who else in this palace could scare them like that? Yuan Mingyue thought that the queen was coming, and slowly turned around without hurrying.

It's actually Gao Cheng in the waiter! Of course, it is him, the most feared important minister in the Great Wei Dynasty and the palace. The queen has always ruled leniently and strictly, how could it make the palace attendants so frightened?

Gao Cheng didn't speak, and watched Yuan Mingyue slowly approach. Cui Jishu behind him stood still, and the palace maids behind Yuan Mingyue didn't dare to move. Yuan Mingyue watched Gao Cheng slowly approach her, trespassing in the Forbidden Garden was still like this, and she didn't know what kind of domineering it was in the court. This is no longer the humble boy who saved her from the horse's hooves.

"The high-ranking servant trespassed into the forbidden garden, and you trespassed." Yuan Mingyue stared at him and said coldly.

Gao Cheng still didn't speak, getting closer and closer, and looked at Yuan Mingyue carefully and calmly. This is no longer the timid and weak princess of the plains, but she is still so infatuated and stubborn. She watched him approach, feeling the immense pressure of the tiger, leopard and lion-like beast approaching. He also saw that she was trembling on her body, but she just looked up.

"Gao Shizhong, this is the Lord's Zuo Zhaoyi!" Suddenly shouting loudly, interrupting the quiet and tense atmosphere.

Gao Cheng crossed Yuan Mingyue and glanced at the calamity. His eyes were fierce, and he was like a sword in his body, and he hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.

"Your Royal Highness, it was the lower official who asked to marry first, and the princess should have been the bride of the lower official." Gao Cheng's eyes were blank when he turned around again. When he asked to marry Princess Pingyuan, it was before his wedding ceremony with Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua. And he really wants it.

"You have trespassed on the high servant again, Qian Yuan has just told the high servant that now I am the lord's Zuo Zhaoyi, and the high servant is the courtier, do you still know the etiquette?" Yuan Mingyue looked at each other indifferently. In fact, even she herself didn't know in her heart whether she was resentful of this high-ranking servant who was powerful in Dawei? Is it hate?

"It was the Lord and His Highness who first messed up the patriarchal rites, and they still want to accuse me? The world is not a world of one person, not a world of one family and one surname, the virtuous live in the royal way, and the powerful live in the domineering, where does it come from? Gao Cheng replied to Yuan Mingyue with a heartfelt expression.

The rite of patriarchy, these are the words that make Yuan Mingyue the most ashamed. Unexpectedly, she suddenly said it from Gao Cheng's mouth, and her face suddenly turned bloody. Finally, he finally made up his mind and said, "It is also a well-known thing that Gao Shizhong went away to Jiankang back then, so why did he come to ridicule me?" ”

Gao Cheng heard her suddenly mention the secret affair between him and his mother-in-law Zheng Dache when he was young, and couldn't help but grab Yuan Mingyue's left arm fiercely, and dragged her to him, and whispered lightly, "Since the princess even knows this, why don't you fulfill my infatuation with His Royal Highness today?" ”

Yuan Mingyue saw that his eyes were blood-red, burning and staring, and his heavy and warm breath almost sprayed on her face, lest he want to break free on a whim.

Gao Cheng has a large force and holds it tightly. No matter how Yuan Mingyue struggled, he didn't move. There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, with the naughtiness of a little boy, the more Yuan Mingyue was eager to break free, the more interesting he felt.

"Let go of the high waiter." Qiang Qi rushed up and said angrily.

"Don't be rude to the waiter." Cui Jishu also stepped forward.

Gao Cheng didn't seem to hear it. Yuan Mingyue's hair was chaotic and slanted, and she was already in a good posture, but at this time her face was red and sweaty. To no avail, he had to stop, and said angrily, "It's the rudeness of the senior servants that comes first." ”

"Really?" Gao Cheng smiled, "What if I'm more rude?" He leaned close to Yuan Mingyue's cheek and smelled the faint fragrance on her body, which was really a little ape-like. He finally let go, Yuan Mingyue turned around and wanted to escape, he had already reached in front of her and grabbed her, and quickly fished her back. The other hand pulled the hair on the back of her head and pulled her closer, and said with a smile in her ear, "Since Your Highness thinks that I am rude and offensive, and do not do to others what you do not want, why do you always offend others and ask for something that is not your own?" ”

Yuan Mingyue screamed in pain, and tears came down. Qian Qian came up and pulled Gao Cheng's hand hard, Gao Cheng didn't look at it, and kicked her out with a flying kick.

"Don't all step down yet!" Cui Jishu shouted at the palace maids who were in a mess and didn't know what to do. On the other hand, he whispered to Gao Cheng, "Please stop the prince, after all, it is in the inner garden, which will damage the reputation of the prince." ”

Gao Cheng's child had not taken off his heart, and he was debauched for a while, and after listening to Cui Jishu's reminder, he let go of Yuan Mingyue.

The palace maids over there lifted the potato. Cui Jishu shouted, "Stand down, all step down." ”

"Lone is also here, do you want to retreat?" Suddenly, Yuan Xiu's voice came from behind the spring flowers.
