Chapter 30: Candle Tears (8)

In the end, even though Gu Xiang always felt that it was very inappropriate for Qi Ying to go together, even though Gu Duan was unwilling to travel out of the palace with Mu Yi, and even though Qi Xuan felt that it was very troublesome to go out with the black cat and Gu Duan, in the end, nothing changed.

Two months later, three people and one cat took their packed luggage, two fast horses and a carriage drove out of Shengjing City and headed for the southeast coast.

When twilight fell, the lights in the Qianyuan Hall were not extinguished, and Gu Xiang was still lying in front of the desk to deal with the twists. In the past three years, he has been focusing most of his energy on state affairs, and he can rest assured that he can hand it over to Gu Duan when he sees that the prosperous world is stable.

Most of them are divided into two categories, one is that this year's autumn harvest is very good, and the people are praising the emperor's merits and suggesting that the emperor go south to inspect; The other is that the three-year filial piety period has expired, and the emperor now has no heirs, and the position of the middle palace is high. It is recommended that the emperor be elected in the world, and those who have both ability and political integrity should be accepted as the queen, and the descendants will be reproduced, and the royal bloodline has been continued.

Gu Xiang put down his pen after annotating a piece of music, closed his eyes, which were already a little sore, and gently rubbed his temples.

The official flag came in from outside the door and said softly: "Your Majesty, the chief guard came to ask, Ying Jieyu is climbing over the wall again, do you want to let her out." ”

Gu Xiang's hand paused and nodded, "Let her go, protect her." ”

"Yes." After receiving the answer, Guan Qi stepped back and told the chief guard what he said.

Since Princess Zhaoyang left the palace with King Ji two years ago, Ying Jieyu has wanted to climb over the wall and leave the palace from time to time. When I first found out, everyone was frightened, but the emperor had a flat face and told him: I can't give them what they want, and I can't lock them up here for the rest of my life. Let her flip it, remember not to let others find out, and protect her.

Three years ago, Guan Qi felt that the chief eunuch beside the emperor was not a good errand, and at this time, Guan Qi felt that the emperor was not a good errand. The emperor seems to attach great importance to the heirs, and only cares about whether the river is stable and whether the people are happy. By the way, the emperor also attaches great importance to the affairs of Lord Wang of the Ministry of War, and whenever a letter from Lord Wang comes, the emperor always puts aside all the twists and turns and reads the letter first.

Bu Niannian walked in the bustling night market with a sugar gourd in his hand, and he didn't know how many times he wanted to thank Princess Zhaoyang, if she hadn't told her where to climb the wall, she would not have been suffocated in the palace in the past few years.

Looking at the brightly lit shop, Bu Niannian secretly calculated in his heart what to buy. Although the emperor has not come to the harem over the years, he has come to the harem from time to time as a reward, so she has a little bit of a small treasury.

Hey, I have to go back early, otherwise my sister will find out and be preached again.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: The three-year filial piety period of the first emperor has expired, and during this period, everyone in the harem of Zhenguan is dedicated to filial piety, diligence and thrift. When getting along, they are also humble and polite, quiet and gentle, dignified and generous. I am very happy, so Jin Ying Jieyu is Ying Zhaoyi. Each gave ten horses of cloud brocade, three boxes of pearl incense powder, a coral collar, and a pair of green heads. Wangke does his best, Roujiaweize. Chin this. ”

After the official flag read the holy decree, he said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Niangniang, please accept the decree." ”

Bu Niannian got up to answer the order, and asked curiously: "Is it only me who has been promoted, or have all three of them been promoted?" ”

"It's all promoted, and the minions will come to you first." The official flag turned sideways to reveal the little eunuch holding a sandalwood tray behind him, and said: "The slave has retired first, I have to go to Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace before lunch, and Niangniang will go to congratulate in the afternoon." ”

"I'm tired." Bu Niannian had a flash of inspiration, pulled the official flag and whispered: "Father-in-law of the official banner, will the emperor come to the harem recently?" ”

Guan Qi was stunned for a moment, but when he thought of this Ying Zhaoyi's special situation, after thinking about it, he still said: "The emperor has been in a good mood recently, and sometimes he goes to Luofeng Garden for a walk. If the mother has a heart, it will be a good day in three days. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for the point." Bu Niannian took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into the official banner's hand, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

After the official flag left, Bu Niannian took Feihua to the bedroom and began to plan the big scene of heroes and beauties meeting. It's so hard to be creative and undeliberate.

Feihua who was forced to participate: Zhaoyi, you have a lot to worry about.

The Maple Garden is at the rear of the Imperial Garden, at the end of the entire Imperial Palace. The first queen loved maple leaves, and the first emperor planted a mountain full of maple trees, and every autumn, the falling maple dyed the whole mountain red.

The weather on this day was good, the autumn was crisp, the sky was bright, but there was no scorching daylight, and the breeze blew from time to time, blowing off the red maples.

Bu Niannian repeatedly told the woman in front of him: "Sister, do you remember? You'll start dancing after I climb the tree, even if the emperor comes, I'll let these maple leaves fall while you're dancing. ”

Then she couldn't stop talking, intoxicated by the imaginary scene and couldn't extricate herself: "When the time comes, the flowers are colorful, the beautiful scenery is beautiful, and then I meet a beautiful woman in white and dance, and from then on, I fell in love at first sight, and joined hands with white heads." Oh my God, this is simply the scene of the script. ”

Feihua beside him shook Bu Niannian's shoulder: "Niangniang, wake up." ”

Mei Yan nervously pinched her water sleeve and said, "Nian Nian, is this really good?" ”

Bu Niannian said very confidently: "Sister, rest assured, I guarantee that nothing goes wrong." Then patted Feihua's shoulder and motioned her to squat down, climbed up the tree, and said to Mei Yan through the thick leaves: "I'm ready to start, sister, don't tell Sister Qing, otherwise I'll be finished." ”

Gu Xiang stood not far away, looked at the woman dancing under a huge maple tree in front of him, and asked, "Do you know who this is?" ”

The woman in white danced under the maple tree, the water sleeves were lightly raised, the red maple fell from time to time, and the stunning beauty was nothing more than that.

The official flag tried hard to identify who this was, and finally came up with an answer: "Your Majesty, this is the Zhaoyi of Changle Palace." ”

A hint of coolness crossed the official's heart, why was Jue Zhaoyi here, wasn't it Ying Zhaoyi who inquired that day?

The two stood in place and watched Mei Yan dance, and when the dance was over, Gu Xiang wanted to leave, but was unexpectedly discovered.

"The concubines see the emperor." Mei Yan's gentle and soft voice came from behind him, and Gu Xiang had to walk towards Mei Yan.

Seeing that Mei Yan was only wearing a thin dance dress, Gu Xiang took off the cloak on her body and put it on her, "Although it's autumn, it's also cooling, don't wear it so thinly anymore, get cold carefully,"

Don't wear such thin clothes anymore, does the emperor mean that I should stop thinking like this?

Mei Yan forcibly suppressed the new sourness, and said softly: "Emperor Xie cares, and the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”

Bu Niannian stood on the branch of the tree and listened intently to the conversation between the two below, but unexpectedly, Mei Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, so that she had to change her posture and lie on the trunk of the tree to hear clearly. As soon as he carefully lifted his feet and prepared to change his posture, he turned his head to see Qing Yu walking quickly here with the palace people, and he was distracted, and he couldn't care about his feet.

Before falling, Bu Niannian only had time to remind out loud: "Sister, get out of the way!" ”

Your sister and I fell.
