Chapter 010: Wai Xin
Li Xuan'er met her brother today, and she found that her brother was not like before, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he didn't understand anything. Perhaps, because now he has a Zheng Hao by his side.
Meeting Yang Huaixin on the martial arts field surprised her a little, which was many years earlier than the two met in their previous lives.
She wants to become friends with him as soon as possible, so that she will have one more helper in the palace.
"Guess who, princess, I just saw outside?"
Mu Lan came back with a wooden box with a handle, and she went to the imperial dining room early this morning to order a flower cake. The Holy Authority stipulates that if each temple wants to eat meals and pastries other than those arranged in the palace, it must pay for it at its own expense and order it from the imperial kitchen.
"Who do you see? It's so mysterious. ”
The princess picked up a piece of translucent flower cake and took a bite on the red bean paste, which was sweet and soft, mixed with the fragrance of bean and glutinous rice, and also had the unique fragrance of cane sugar paddle.
"The servant saw Zhao Heyi! He was following behind Concubine Yuan, nodding his head and walking all the way to Chang'an Palace. ”
The princess asked strangely, "Isn't it not half a month yet?" And he came back from the Imperial Horse Warden? ”
"Yes, the servant is also very strange. However, I heard them say in the imperial dining room that this time the Queen Mother appointed Concubine Yuan to be in charge of the Shengshang's Birthday Festival, and Concubine Yuan was very busy inside and out, probably for this reason, so she called Zhao Heyi back, right? ”
"It's possible. Isn't Birthday three days away? There are a lot of people coming from inside and outside the palace, and I heard that there are still many officials from outside Beijing coming back. When the time comes, it will be lively. ”
The princess saw that there were several plates of the flower dumplings in the wooden box, and asked Mu Xiang to send some to the mother and Shuang'er.
She pointed to the last plate in the box and said, "Wrap this separately, and after a while, I'll walk around the palace and take it with me to eat." ”
Li Xuan'er really went to the garden.
The harem of Daming Palace is too big, there are mountains and rivers, and some palaces are far apart. Just like the Lin De Palace, it is obviously not far to the north of the Chenghuan Palace, but because it is built on a dirt mountain, it is not close to walking.
"Let's go, let's go up to the Lin De Hall for a walk."
"That's going up the mountain, there should be a lot of palace people on it, these days, the mountain is arranging the Lin De Temple, and the saint is going to feast guests there. I don't know, let's go up at this time, it's inconvenient? ”
Mu Lan is really well-informed.
"What's so inconvenient about that? I don't believe it, is there anything else in the harem that won't let me go? ”
Mu Lan also smiled: "That's it, since Zhao Heyi was cleaned up by the princess once, where are the people now, when they see the people in our Chenghuan Palace, they are all polite." ”
The master and servant went up the mountain, and it was the time for dinner in the palace. Along the way, I didn't meet a single person. In summer, it gets dark late, and the slanting sun shines on the slope, half of which is hot and half cool.
The three halls of the Lin De Hall depend on each other, the bucket arches are stacked, and they are scattered and orderly. Supported by these bucket arches, the eaves stretch outwards and rise high like the wings of a giant bird.
In the past, Li Xuan'er thought it was too flamboyant, but under this bloody sun, she liked its spirit.
There were several forbidden army guards standing in front of the hall, Li Xuan'er looked carefully, it was not Yang Huaixin, and she was slightly disappointed.
"We will not enter the main hall, but go around to the west gallery."
Under the stairs leading to the west corridor, there are also two guards standing guard, going up the stairs, and going up from the west corridor, it is the adjacent building that can lead to the apse, which is where Li Xuan'er wants to go.
"Princess, please stop, the Lin De Hall has been arranged, and you are not allowed to enter without permission."
There was only one adult princess in the Holy Heaven, and although the guards recognized her as a princess, they did not dare to let her in.
"I'm just curious, I want to go up and have a look, isn't that okay?"
The guard still stopped the princess from going upstairs, and there was not even a smile on her face. They are Jin Wuwei, and it is true that they are more lucrative, but it is a small matter to lose their jobs. If you lose the guy who eats, that's a big deal.
"What's going on?"
There was an inquiring voice behind the princess, and as soon as she turned around, she heard Yang Huaixin saying, "The last general will see Princess Wanshou!" ”
"Vice General Yang, this princess wanted to go to the neighboring building to watch the sunset, but they didn't let me go up." The princess said aggrievedly.
Princess Wanshou has just turned fifteen and is in her early five feet tall, but she is thinner than ordinary women. She didn't wear heavy makeup, she only loosely pulled a bun with clouds, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, her mouth fat was slightly fragrant, and her skin was not powdered white, nothing gorgeous, but it made people dare not look at it directly.
Yang Huaixin looked up at the sky, it was the sunset that filled the sky, and the colors were beautiful.
He turned his face to the guard and said, "I will accompany the princess up, and I will only go to the neighboring building, not the inner hall." If you ask for sin, you will have your own deputy to take care of it. ”
Although Yang Huaixin is only the deputy general of Yulinwei, they are eunuchs' personal guards, and they have always been superior in the guards, and they have more convenience than ordinary guards to get close to the harem, so they are responsible for the patrol of the harem.
This also means that on the premise of not colliding with the nobles, there is no place where they can't go.
"Princess, please."
The princess smiled at him, lifted her skirt, and followed him upstairs.
There is a large terrace outside the adjacent building, and at this time, the terrace is sprinkled with golden light. Looking down from here, you can see that outside the palace wall of Daming Palace, there are not only the splendid Taiji Palace, but also the distant mountains and mountains.
"It's so beautiful!"
Li Xuan'er opened her arms, and her wide-sleeved bamboo green peacock Luo dress flew in the wind with light gauze curtains.
Yang Huaixin's face showed an imperceptible smile, he was glad that he had turned into the Lin De Palace, otherwise, not only would the princess miss such a colorful sunset, but he would also miss such a delicate princess.
"Vice General Yang, you see that this sunset is like fire, will one day, this Daming Palace also be burned by a fire?"
Yang Huaixin replied firmly: "Unless it is, the 180,000 forbidden troops are all dead." ”
The princess looked at him, and her eyes showed sadness that he couldn't understand: The forbidden army is like a sati, a wave hits, and it will collapse into an army, do you know? She turned her eyes away and said with a smile:
"Vice Admiral Yang, give you a taste of this."
Yang Huaixin hesitated a little, and took the snack that the princess took out of the handbag, which was the transparent flower cake that Mu Lan had brought out before.
He took it in his hand and looked at it, but he had never seen it before. The flower cake was not big, he wrapped it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
"The filling inside is red bean paste, is it fragrant?"
"Red Bean...... Sand? I knew it was sweet...... I thought it was wrapped in syrup......"
The princess covered her mouth and laughed, blooming like a spring flower. She stuffed the small cloth bag into Yang Huaixin's hand: "It's all for you, you can taste another one and see if it's red bean paste inside." ”
Yang Huaixin took out another piece, took a bite carefully, and grinned: "This taste is really red beans, delicious!" ”
Although the time to meet you is wrong, these words of your praise are exactly the same as in your previous life.
The princess smiled and pointed to the inside of the adjacent building:
"Let's go inside."
