Chapter 15: Chance Encounters (I)
Speaking of which, even if Ming Shiyun wanted to say more, she would definitely be blocked back, so she had to sigh and let go of these for the time being, but Tang Wanyi's matter was always in her heart, and it was bound to be difficult to calm down for a while, and both of them were clear about this.
"It seems like the wind is going to rise, mother, I'll go get a cloak for you, or I'll catch a cold in a while." After thinking for a while, it was almost time for Lu Rui to come over, even if she left, it didn't matter, Tang Wanyi first found an excuse to leave, so that Ming Shiyun had room to think alone, and it also saved the embarrassment of the two of them.
"Well, there you go." Nodding casually, Ming Shiyun understood what she meant, so she let her go naturally, after such a conversation, it is indeed not appropriate for them to get along alone, at least let the two of them calm down, so that they can be in the mood to face it well.
It's April, and the air is full of herbs. After Tang Wanyi left, Ming Shiyun also got up and left the pavilion a little, sitting alone under a flourishing cherry tree, a corner of the rainbow-colored imperial garden, full of fresh eyes, vibrant, swaying, quiet and distant, as if time also resides here and no longer passes forward. Only a gust of wind passed, and the flowers rained one after another, like a cherry snow, covering the shoulders, arms, and knees.
Looking up, the eyes flutter in the sky, the sky is blue, the clouds are quiet, and the sun is shining. Ming Shiyun couldn't help but close her eyes slightly, leaning lightly on the rough trunk of the tree, and letting her thoughts drift. It's almost Qingming time, is there a swaying drizzle on the bluestone pavement of the Great Qi harem, and is there a palace person with broken souls in the rain curtain? This year's trip should still be in the Begong Deer Garden, those who are lucky enough to go, will they walk on the warbler grass embankment? The royal sisters who are stepping on the little golden lotus and holding Su Meipa on their sleeves, will they hide under the eaves of the flowing water and peek at the royal brothers who can play uncontrollably? Soaked in the drizzle of Jiangnan spring, I once remembered the water and clouds looking at the sky from afar, and the little misty color at the junction of heaven and water, although there is a very light melancholy, but it is also extremely beautiful.
Ming Shiyun, who put all her thoughts on homesickness, didn't pay attention to her surroundings, but Xiao Yingzhe, who happened to wander into the imperial garden, found the beautiful woman sitting under the cherry blossom tree almost at first glance, like an elf in the flowers, and the chase of her eyes became more and more unbridled unconsciously.
Walking gently in the direction of Ming Shiyun, Xiao Yingzhe also had some doubts in his heart, he had never seen this woman, but judging from the clothes and accessories she was wearing and her current state, she should be a palace concubine, but such an outstanding-looking palace concubine should never be nameless, but why has he never seen it?
Carefully recalling the harem concubines, the steps that were getting closer and closer had a slight sexual taste, and when Ming Shiyun finally noticed that someone was approaching and turned her head, the distance between the two was already the closest limit within the range of politeness.
Gu Pan graceful, pink Dai Yanran, square peach and plum, difficult to describe, glamorous, magnificent, dazzling like spring, fairy and jade...... In an instant, Xiao Yingzhe couldn't wait to use all the beautiful words he could think of to describe such a gorgeous demeanor, although he still looked a little naïve, but this innocent temperament brought by petite and immature can be perfectly integrated with those seductive and enchanting, which is simply a temptation that no man can refuse.
"You...... Big, bold! Who are you? How dare you stare at Hongu so presumptuously? The soft and beautiful voice like a warbler's cry trembled slightly, Ming Shiyun didn't expect to see such a young man looking at herself so presumptuously as soon as she turned around, although he was dressed in royal clothes, it seemed that he was not an ordinary courtier, but there were so many royal heirs in the Wei Kingdom, and she only knew a little about the palace concubines, where could she guess Xiao Yingzhe's identity?
"Hongu?" Xiao Yingzhe gently repeated the self-proclaimed statement of Shiyun, smiled slightly, and then understood her identity, "It turned out to be Jue Zhaorong, and the son-in-law Xiao Yingzhe...... Say hello to Concubine Jue. ”
The last sound was slow and soft, and he deliberately leaned a little closer before slowly spitting it out, which was an undisguised ridicule, although there was no laughter in the voice, there was a smile in the words.
Ming Shiyun was speechless for a while, and she wanted to reprimand him for being bold and presumptuous, and she was indeed asking for peace to herself, but if she wanted to respond to him with the gift of a mother, she felt as if she was being ridiculed. What made her most at a loss was that Ming Shiyun didn't even know what Xiao Yingzhe was laughing at herself? Because she is younger than him, has she become his mother? But in the harem, this is not an uncommon thing, and what is there to laugh at? So is it because she was taken back to the palace by King Wei and given to live in Fenghua Palace, but King Wei stayed in Changquan Palace for two days in a row, and didn't even look at her? But he was a prince, and he seemed to be very wise, how could he know so quickly about Chengen in the harem, and laugh at her for such a woman's affairs?
In the midst of the chaos of thoughts, Xiao Yingzhe's natural imperial oppressive temperament made her feel irresistible, Ming Shiyun unconsciously took two steps back, but was tripped by the roots of the cherry tree exposed to the soil, her body was unstable, and she didn't realize that the exclamation came out, and she was almost about to staggering and falling.
