In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful, the state affairs are stable, and the people are healthy, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of the Three Realms of Man, Demon and Immortal, and the Tang King is grateful to the knights of the Three Realms.

So after so many years, although the imperial city is still heavily guarded, it has long since turned away all people who have nothing to do with the imperial court as it did back then.

The bell tower is not far from the imperial city, which was originally the most noisy and prosperous place in Chang'an, and when the New Year comes, it will be even more lively here.

It is difficult to get Chang'an, the bell tower bids farewell to the fairy of love, and the first thing is to go to meet the king.

The imperial city is also full of festive red lanterns, and the palace people are busy preparing for the New Year's banquet, only the harem garden is as quiet as ever.

In a corner of the garden, Zhao Meiren came to visit the flowers she had carefully cultivated, and it was almost Valentine's Day, and the roses in front of her were blooming beautifully.

In this long deep palace, in addition to intrigue, more often you need to relieve those lonely emotions, but on such a special day, if you can't see him, the sadness in your heart will naturally be stronger than usual.

After seeing the king, getting a license, under the leadership of the little eunuch, the husband and wife decided to go to the harem garden for a walk, and it didn't take long to meet Zhao Meiren, who had just picked roses and was about to return to the palace.

"Sister Zhao."

"I've seen the mother."

"Girl, you haven't been in Beijing for a few years, and you entered the palace today to meet Your Majesty, right?"

"Yes, since I'm here, I naturally want to meet him, and I just happened to come to visit my sister."

In this way, the white-clothed son next to Xiaozhen is Xiaoji's husband.

Originally, Xiaozhen often came to the palace to visit her, and this was the first time she entered the palace after getting married, but she would often write letters to tell her all the beautiful scenery she had traveled with her husband.

"Sister, the roses you planted this year look more colorful than in previous years, what kind of novelty snacks are you going to make with this basket of petals?"

Xiao Zhen has always liked those delicate dim sum, and in her opinion, these fresh petals are used as dim sum if they are not used in medicine.

"It's just to make some rose tea."

Zhao Meiren said and smiled softly.

At this time, several butterflies flew by, attracting Xiaoji's attention, and she also flapped her wings and chased after her.

"The lady has always liked butterflies, which makes the lady smile."

"Where, Xiaozhen was born with such a simple temperament, which is also a good thing, and you can be regarded as blessed."

Looking at Xiao Zhen, who was chasing butterflies not far away, Xiao Yu also smiled softly.

"By the way, it will be Valentine's Day in two days, and the roses I have here are also blooming just right, although they are not valuable, but they are also in response to the solar terms.

Zhao Meiren said, and asked the palace maid beside her to cut a few blooming roses.

"Where did the mother say, this flower is carefully cultivated by the mother with fairy dew, and it will bloom in February, which is the best in the flower, thanks to the love of the mother, and I am grateful."

"Childe is polite, it's not an uncommon thing, I have a low position, and I have nothing to do in this deep palace all day long, so I fiddle with flowers and plants, and make some snacks and spices."

Although Zhao Meiren was smiling, there was some sadness in her smile.

Even if she thinks about it every day and looks forward to it, it is just a void after all, and he may not be able to remember that in this deep palace, there is a Zhao beauty who planted a garden of roses for him.

In such a situation, Xiaoyu didn't know how to reply, so she was just silent.

"Mother, the rose you want."

The maid who had gone to pick roses came back with a bundle of roses in her hand.

"This year's talent is matched with a beautiful woman, and heaven and earth are the matchmaker for flowers."

Although there were not many roses, they were beautiful together, and there were crystal dew drops hanging on the petals.

Xiaoyu took the bouquet of roses, a little distracted.

"Husband, how about we plant some flowers and plants in the yard?"

"Okay, what does the lady want to plant?"

"Is it good to plant roses, let's go to Sister Ruoning to ask for some Yaochi fairy dew, and the flowers will bloom longer."

"The lady has always disliked too bright colors, why would she want to plant roses?"

"I ...... It's just that I suddenly remembered the roses planted by Sister Zhao, as well as the rose dew she blended. ”

"I see."

But in the end, no roses were planted in the small courtyard, but peach branches outside the bamboo fence reached into the courtyard.

"Childe?"

Hearing Zhao Meiren's voice, Xiaoyu came back to his senses.

"Childe seems to have something on his mind?"

"Let the lady smile, but I suddenly remembered that the lady had said that she wanted to plant a rose in the courtyard, but finally gave up."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhao Meiren was a little surprised, Xiaozhen in her impression should prefer elegant flowers.

"Maybe it's because of the rose dew given by the mother, every time I see it, the lady will remember the roses planted by the mother, she often says that only the mother in this world can make such a unique fragrance."

"That's the case, then bring some more, I transferred some more to offer to the ladies a few days ago, but I don't need so much, it's useless to put it away."

Zhao Meiren smiled again as she spoke, but this time it was bright.

Acquaintance with Xiaozhen was a matter before entering the palace, I never thought that she had followed her mother to learn the craft since she was a child, and she had not won the favor of the king in the deep palace over the years, but she was remembered by Xiaozhen.

"Xiaoyu thanked the mother for the generous gift."

"You're welcome, Xiaozhen is married to you, I'm very relieved."

"Xie Niangniang's compliment."

"Xiaozhen is pure by nature and simple-minded, and it has not changed since I first met her. After entering the palace, I heard that she was married to a wife, and I was worried that she would be deceived, but today I see my son, gentle and elegant, polite, and indeed a person worthy of entrusting her for life, I am really happy for her. ”

"It is a blessing for a lady to be friends with her mother."

As the two were talking, the butterfly flew away, and Xiaoji, who was chasing the butterfly, also returned.

"Sister, what are you talking about with your husband?"

"We're talking about the rose you wanted to plant."

"Borrow the roses planted by the mother, and wish the lady a smile."

Xiaoyu held the bouquet of roses in front of Xiaozhen and smiled dotingly.

"Thank you, sister, thank you, husband."

Xiao Zhen took the bouquet of roses and looked at Xiao Yu and smiled happily.

"Since you and I are sisters, why bother to say thank you, you can be so cherished by your son, but it makes me so envious."

"Sister is in this palace, raising flowers and fragrances is no longer forced for livelihood, and it should be better than before."

"Alas, the people of the world can enjoy all the glory and wealth in this palace, but they can stay alone in this deep palace every day, and they can't think about it, and they can't see it, so how can they not be sentimental. I'd rather be like you, with someone to be around, even if life is a little dull, but at ease. ”

Zhao Meiren said, sad again, there is indeed fine clothes and jade food in this deep palace, but there is no freedom and happiness of ordinary people, this is what I look forward to every day, but it is just a thought.

"That's it, let's not talk about this, the New Year is approaching, it's a festive day, I guess you still have some places to visit, I won't delay you."

"Sister, I will come to see you often in the future."

There is light in Xiaoyu's eyes, clear and bright, which is what attracts Xiaoyu to her.

"You, let's go out for a walk with your husband, there are countless beautiful scenery in this world, and I have nothing to do with them, so I have to ask you to go and see it for me. Don't worry about me, I'm fine in the palace. ”

"That, my sister is precious, I will often write to my sister."

"Okay."

"Xiaozhen is greedy for fun, and I ask my son to take care of him."

"Don't worry, then we'll leave first."

"Sister Zhao, see you in the future."

Watching the husband and wife talk and laugh and drift apart, the thoughts and sadness in Zhao Meiren's heart deepened a little, she looked at the huge palace, and didn't know when she would be looking forward to you.
