Nianyun never imagined that Li Chun would send such a large plate of fresh lychees.

It is rare that there is such a time in this palace once in a while, and Li Chun will give it to her, and she knows this kind of intention.

Lychee is a very rare fruit, but Yang Guifei's experience is there, but if she shows a little liking, Li Chun is afraid that she will try to find it next time, and I don't know how many people in the court will use this matter to criticize and write at that time.

For this reason, she can't make a mistake.

Nian Yun frowned, looked at the plate of fresh and fragrant fruits, and took two steps back, "Qixi, take it out, this palace can't eat this thing." ”

Qixi was very surprised, "This is a treasure from the south......"

Nianyun said: "This palace knows that this lychee is produced in Lingnan, which is very rare, and the taste is also sweet and delicious, but unfortunately this palace has no mouth." When I was young, I ate it once, but I had a rash and fever all over my body, and I almost lost my life. I won't eat it in this palace, and you have thanked Your Majesty for your kindness in this palace. ”

Qixi had to respond, Nian Yun saw that several people in this room looked at the lychee with a little stunned, and he had never seen this rare thing before, so he smiled and said: "Each of you should take a few to eat, it is indeed rare." ”

Lychee is such a rare thing, they have only heard of it, where have they really eaten it? Hearing what the concubine said, Xi Zizi each took two or three from Qixi's hands, and the purple and red shell of the lychee was peeled off, and he was still reluctant to throw it away, so he took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

Nianyun said with a smile: "Don't look at it, this lychee is rare precisely because it is difficult to keep fresh, and at night, the color of the shell will be all black, and the color and fragrance will be completely lost." ”

Qixi also ate two or three of them, and said with a smile: "The predecessors said, 'It is sold without jade teeth, although it is elixir', it is really not comparable to ordinary fruits." ”

The green pothos threw the two lychee shells she had peeled off at Qixi and said with a smile: "If you have to pretend to be a scholar, you can understand your words, and I don't know where to get it." ”

Seven Joy smiled silently. After a room full of people eating and eating, and laughing enough, Nianyun said: "This big plate, there are many more, Qixi, while it is fresh, you should take it back to Your Majesty." However, this thing is on fire when eaten, and His Majesty is asked not to eat more. ”

Qixi had to take the plate back to Zichen Hall to resume his life, His Majesty heard that Nianyun couldn't eat lychees, and sighed three times in a pity, but he didn't eat again, but ordered someone to give all the remaining lychees to the concubines in the harem, and even Liufu, Qixi and others also rewarded some.

His Majesty had been thinking about Nianyun before, and he didn't have time to eat, so he didn't know what he remembered, and he didn't eat any of this small basket from outside.

The matter in front of him was almost dealt with, and he went to Penglai Palace, it was late, the heat dissipated a little, and the moonlight of Qing Lingling poured down, which was very pleasant.

During the meal, Nianyun said: "Today, Nianyun has failed His Majesty's good intentions, and I really don't want to go." It's just that this lychee is also a precious thing, why hasn't Your Majesty tasted any of it? ”

Li Chun looked at her gently, with a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "You can't eat it, I'm afraid that after I eat it, I will have the smell of lychees on my body, which will not be good for you." ”

This allergy is just a momentary nonsense she is, but looking at Li Chun's look, he may not know her thoughts. Since the concubines have set an example in this way, he, His Majesty the Emperor, simply sang with his wife. No matter how precious it is, it's just a bite or two to eat, where can it be a pity if you don't eat it?

Li Chun had dinner in Penglai Palace, so he was obsessed with Yun's hand and looked at the moonlight outside the window, "If you really feel that you have lived up to my good intentions, such a good night, it is better to accompany me to the edge of the Taiye Pool for a walk." ”

Nian Yun nodded with a smile, such a summer night should indeed not live up to the beautiful scenery.

In the middle of summer, Daming Palace is the best place in this Taiye Pool, the breeze comes slowly, the water waves are not prosperous, the heat in the day is blown away, bringing a trace of comfortable coolness. It is no wonder that before Empress Zetian and Gaozong moved to the palace, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong all came to Daming Palace in the summer to escape the summer.

The two walked hand in hand by the Taiye Pool and didn't talk much. As long as he is still by her side, as long as this quiet moonlight is shared by him, God will treat her well, and there is no need for too many words to express it.

Nianyun and he didn't wear tall shoes, only a light summer gauze and a pair of simple embroidered shoes, walking on the path paved with bluestone slabs by the Taiye Pool, the wind blew up the clothes, and they were about to fly.

After walking for a while, I came to the back of a rockery, and suddenly I heard that there seemed to be a few palace people in front of me, deliberately lowering their voices and whispering, but they seemed to be very excited and excited, chattering non-stop.

Li Chun frowned slightly, and wanted to scold, but Nianyun suddenly heard that they seemed to be talking about Penglai Palace, so he grabbed him.

The two of them stopped, and only a young and delicate voice was heard: "...... Why not, I heard people say that there is a palace man surnamed Zheng living in the side hall of Penglai Palace, who is pregnant for four or five months, and his belly is so big! ”

Another older one said: "Could it be that the concubine Niangniang recommended the palace people around her to Your Majesty in order to consolidate her favor?" ”

Another one listened to a slightly hoarse voice and said: "What, you don't know, where is the dragon species of His Majesty conceived by the people of Zheng Palace, I heard that it is Guo Yuma, I guess, Guo Yuma often goes in and out of Penglai Palace, it is a private meeting with the palace people around the concubine, and do such a thing that messes up the palace, tsk......"

The young man from earlier said, "Is there such a thing? Doesn't that mean that the concubine is fornicating in the Penglai Palace, why didn't the lady simply send the people from the palace to serve in Shengping Mansion......"

"Who knows ...... this kind of thing"

A few people didn't know what they thought of, so they covered their mouths and laughed quietly.

Li Chun heard it clearly in the dark behind the rockery, and was furious, came out from behind the rockery, and said sharply: "Shut up!" ”

These little palace maids are just idle at night on the edge of the Taiye Pool to cool off, and privately talk about some secrets in the palace to relieve boredom, where did they think that His Majesty and the noble concubine Niangniang were also stepping on the moonlight to go out for a walk, and when they were frightened, their faces were as earthy, and several people knelt there, and their bodies trembled like chaff.

Liufu was following from a distance, but when he heard His Majesty Long Yan being furious, he hurriedly ran over with small steps, pointed to a few people on the ground, and scolded: "A group of things that don't know whether they are dead or alive, no one has taught the rules when they entered the palace, and their tongues are all scourges, so they are all pulled down and cut clean!" ”

Nian Yun stood behind Li Chun, but found that in addition to these palace people who were chewing the root of their tongues in the vicinity, there seemed to be some people hiding among the stones and tree shadows, and when they heard His Majesty's anger, they didn't dare to run away immediately, so they had to huddle in a shadow, praying that they would not be noticed.

It was night in the palace, and many palace maids and eunuchs went to this liquid pool to cool off, and these palace maids were too unlucky to hit the muzzle of the gun. But since they dare to say it here, it can be seen that these gossips have already spread in the palace.

Her majesty had obviously noticed that there were probably more than a few people around the pool. If such a rumor spreads, if it spreads outside the palace, Guo Yan's reputation will definitely be greatly affected, and those counselors will definitely talk about it when they turn around, which is a headache to think about.

And if Guo Yan has the reputation of being a filthy palace, he often goes in and out of Penglai Palace, and Nianyun will definitely be affected.

Li Chun's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, with the pride of dominating the world, even in the dim moonlight. For a while, all the people didn't dare to come out, only hearing the subtle rustling of the wind blowing through the willow branches, and the sudden heartbeat of the palace people kneeling on the ground.

Li Chun looked around, and there was unquestionable majesty in his voice: "Someone in the palace is pregnant with my dragon seed, what's the matter, do I still have to report to you people one by one?" ”

What did he say?

Nian Yun suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears, almost suspecting that his ears were delusional. What does he mean to tell everyone that Zheng Qiaoqiao, who is pregnant in Penglai Palace, is pregnant with his dragon species?

How could he admit this?

Nian Yun subconsciously wanted to pull his sleeve, Li Chun had already taken a step ahead of her and held her hand tightly, and an invisible force came from her thick palm, making her slowly relax.

Li Chun glanced at the people kneeling underground again, and said clearly word by word: "The people of Zheng Palace in Penglai Hall are pregnant with my dragon seed in their wombs, if you let me know that there are people in the palace talking about this matter, you will be killed!" ”

Luofu hurriedly looked at the people kneeling on the ground, "Did you hear it clearly?" ”

Who can dare to say that they have not heard it, this is admitted by His Majesty himself. Li Chun coldly ordered again: "Today, these people were sent to the Yeting Palace to cut their tongues to set an example." ”

After such a fuss, where did Li Chun still have the interest of stepping on the moon, he took Nianyun's hand and walked straight to Penglai Palace.

When he entered the Penglai Palace, he saw that there was still anger on his face, and Nianyun also stood behind him with his head down and didn't dare to make a sound. After all, this matter started because of the third brother, and His Majesty did not dispose of him, which was already an extrajudicial favor.

Li Chun suddenly sighed, turned around, took Nianyun in his arms, let her lean on his shoulder, and said softly: "Nianyun, it was I who was thoughtless and made you feel wronged." ”

Nian Yun's brain was a little unable to turn for a while, and he didn't know what to say, no matter how strange this matter was, it couldn't be blamed on His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Concubine ......"

Li Chun hugged her and stroked her brocade-like black hair, "This Daming Palace is mine, the world is mine, my woman is wronged, it is my fault, you don't have to complain about me." ”

How could she blame him? Nian Yun felt stable in his arms, calmed his mind, and said: "But Your Majesty, it is a matter of royal blood, Your Majesty recognized this child like this, and ...... when the time comes."

Li Chun said: "You don't need to say it, I didn't think about it before, and you have already made it clear to me, but I haven't been able to make proper arrangements." Guo San refused to recognize him, but he was the blood of the Guo family in the end. It's your nephew, it's my nephew, so why don't I give him the identity of a prince, or if I leave my son to my mother in the future, who would dare to question me? ”

Waiting for the child to be born, although she has the status of a prince, His Majesty will not give Zheng Qiaoqiao a title, so she can only be a lowly palace person. In this way, the prince under Li Chun's knees has both elders and grandchildren, and the position of the crown prince will not be able to take the turn of this child anyway, so it might as well be.

Waiting for the child to grow up, or give him a decent mansion, or give him a small fief to live, and let him be a peaceful prince for the rest of his life, in the end, it can be regarded as preserving a little blood of the Guo family.
