The white hemp internal order that intended to abolish the Son of Heaven and the Emperor Taishang to return to the Daming Palace tore apart the only remaining father-son love between the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty.

Before Li Chun took action against Xingqing Palace, Nian Yun decided to go to Xingqing Palace first.

In the past, when he rode through Dongshi with Guo Yan, he also saw the layers of cornices and glazed tiles in Xingqing Palace through the palace wall, and curiously guessed the owner inside.

This time, she was the hostess of Daming Palace, and walked in with a swagger with her entourage.

Xingqing Palace, Taiji Palace, and Daming Palace are not in one place, but are alone in the position near the Chunming Gate, the west gate of Chang'an City.

However, from Daming Palace to Xingqing Palace, you don't have to go through the streets of the city. In the past, Emperor Xuanzong specially built a sandwich road under the city wall for the convenience of travel, which can not only go directly to Xingqing Palace from Daming Palace, but also go south to Qujiang Pond to visit spring.

Xingqing Palace was the residence of Emperor Xuanzong before he ascended the throne. Because Emperor Xuanzong did not like the solemnity of Taiji Palace and was not satisfied with the pattern of Daming Palace, he expanded and renovated his former mansion and became the place where he received ministers, dealt with court affairs, and lived daily, and changed its name to Xingqing Palace.

Later, Emperor Suzong ascended the throne, and Xuanzong still lived in Xingqing Palace as Emperor Tai.

Later, the rebels of An Lushan and Shi Siming invaded Chang'an City and entered Xingqing Palace, which was quite damaged. In the following dynasties, the decaying Xingqing Palace became a cold palace, but the queen mother, concubine and others of the previous dynasty moved over to live in seclusion.

The Mingyi Gate, the palace gate of Xingqing Palace, is only guarded by a few old sergeants, and it is a little slack.

Nian Yun took the jade plate of Penglai Palace and showed it to the sergeant, and their eyes were a little surprised when they looked at her.

For the nobles in the palace, Xingqing Palace is full of people who have been forgotten by the times, and there is no day to turn over, and they no longer have the intention to dress up, with bad luck on their bodies, like outdated small-toed shoes and narrow clothes, so they have to be placed in the corner of the treasury to mold and rot.

Unexpectedly, the graceful concubine Niangniang would come in person to come to this deserted and withered Xingqing Palace.

Entering the Mingyi Gate, there is a large hall facing the lake, called Changqing Palace. The Changqing Hall is not inhabited, but it is only a place for the concubines to take a rest when they walk, and the layout is a little simple.

The hall was quiet, except for an old eunuch who dozed off with a whisk. Nianyun walked in, and the old eunuch was awakened, and her beautiful face and gorgeous clothes illuminated his eyes, making him stunned.

He quickly rubbed his eyes and fell to his knees, but he didn't know what to call it.

Luluo stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, please ask father-in-law to lead the way, the noble concubine is going to see the emperor." ”

The old eunuch came back to his senses, and stubbornly knelt down and kowtowed, "The old slave participates in the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Nianyun nodded slightly, and the green pothos helped him up again, and then he bowed down and said, "Niangniang, please come with the old slave." ”

In front of him was a small lake, the old eunuch staggered, pointed to the lake with a whisk, and said: "This is the dragon pool, in the past there were nine dragon heads here, and there were mechanisms installed at the bottom, which can spray water day and night." The water column is more than a zhang high, the water is misty, and you can look at the rainbow against the sun. If you catch up with the rainy weather, it will be white, and it will be like a fairyland! At that time, Concubine Yang liked to ask people to hold a small boat and dance behind the mist. Looking at it from afar, it's as ...... as the Limbo fairy."

Nian Yun looked in the direction he was pointing, and only saw something on the water in the distance, and he couldn't see it clearly, let alone spray water.

The old eunuch sighed: "It's a pity, it was destroyed during the war, and there is only a dragon head left over there, and it can't spray water!" ”

led them past a pavilion, and the old eunuch pointed to the pavilion and said, "Niangniang is afraid that I don't know, this is the Agarwood Pavilion." In the past, Emperor Xuanzong took Concubine Yang to enjoy the flowers there, and Li Hanlin drank happily and wrote a poem, which was inscribed on the pillar over there. ”

The Li Hanlin he said was Li Bai, the "poet immortal" who was famous all over the world, and the Du Gong Department also respected him very much. When Nianyun looked at it, there were indeed four lines of poetry on the pillar, which were probably carved by the craftsman according to the handwriting at that time.

Famous flowers love each other, and the king looks at it with a smile. Explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, and the agarwood pavilion leans on the railing in the north.

It's a pity that a generation of poets and immortals came to a bad end, and Concubine Yang, who had been loved by thousands of people, also died in that war. Even this pavilion is mottled with vermilion lacquer, and the eyes are full of withered grass and dead poplars.

The whole Xingqing Palace is lonely, these old eunuchs have a hard time, and when they see new people and things, they have to take the risk of annoying the nobles to lose their heads, and they don't want to blame him, but they only sigh slightly in their hearts.

I walked around the dragon pond for most of the circle, and only then did I come to a door with "Datong Gate" written on it. Further on, there is another big hall, which is the Datong hall. There is a small courtyard next to the Datong Hall.

The old eunuch said again: "That courtyard is the Hanlin Academy, where Emperor Xuanzong summoned the Hanlin scholars, and the old slave was fortunate to see Li Hanlin a few times in the past!" ”

Nian Yun glanced at the dilapidated courtyard and asked, "I don't know how much my father-in-law is noble?" ”

When the old eunuch heard her ask, he was a little flattered, and replied respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, the old slave was born in the twenty-third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the palace entered in the first month of the second year of Tianbao, and he served Emperor Xuanzong in the last Yuan Dynasty, and he is seventy-one this year. ”

Nianyun nodded and followed him on. Passing through the Datong Palace, it is a bluestone paved road, and there is a courtyard in front.

The old eunuch pointed to the courtyard and said, "That is the Xingqing Palace, and the Emperor Taishang lives in that palace." After thinking about it, he muttered to himself again, "Once upon a time, Emperor Xuanzong also lived there. ”

The green pothos thanked the old eunuch and rewarded him with a jade wrench. It had not been such a reward for decades, and the old eunuch knelt down and kowtowed to her back, sobbing in gratitude.

After decades of living in a cold palace and deserted courtyard, Nian Yun felt worried when he looked at it, and walked into the courtyard quickly.

The Xingqing Hall was also very deserted, and there was not even a palace maid who had been informed.

Nian Yun stepped in, this Xingqing Palace was too quiet, his head was on the white marble floor tiles, and the footsteps seemed to have an echo.

I walked into the main hall until I saw a clear figure in the corner of the main hall, wearing a plain robe, with almost white hair, reclining on an Arhat bed.

Nian Yun remembered that when he was in the East Palace, although he was not in good health, his hair was extremely well-raised, and there was hardly a trace of gray hair. But after a few months, does he already look like an old man?

There was a small table on the Luohan bed, and a lot of rice paper was spread on it, and a few sheets also fell on the ground. He was holding a pen and didn't know what he was writing.

Nianyun didn't want to disturb him, and when he put the pen down, he said softly: "Nianyun...... I've seen the Emperor. ”

Li Yu raised his head and saw that it was her, he was a little surprised, but he seemed to be happy, and laughed: "Nianyun, it's you, you're here!" ”

He stretched out his hand to her, "Come, come and read what I wrote." I always feel that words need to be accompanied by paintings, but I can't draw well. Nianyun, do you know how to draw? ”

Nian Yun walked over. She thought he was writing something important, but when she got closer, she realized that what was spread out on his desk was just a copy of "Li Taibai Collection", and what he was writing was the song "Qingping Le".

A branch of red dew condenses incense, **Wushan is in vain. By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.

He wrote only on half a sheet of paper, a beautiful and ethereal official script, leaving half a blank.

His official writing is very good, in the past, when the first emperor was there, whenever there was a big banquet and other scenes, the ministers offered poems, and the first emperor asked him to write and transcribe.

The hand that has written countless poems to praise the saints and has criticized the excerpts of official documents for more than 20 years as the crown prince is now just writing these idle miscellaneous poems.

Nian Yun was slightly stunned. She thought that Li Yu would guess her intention at the first time, or question her, but he didn't. He was just reading poetry and writing, and he asked her if she could draw.

She hadn't let anyone pass it on before she came, so he wouldn't have shown her a pretense.

Will such an emperor really plan to return to Daming Palace on white linen?

Li Yu said: "I once heard Liangdi say that you are the best at drawing shoes. ”

She woke up from her stunned and laughed, but she didn't hear his slip of the tongue, she was no longer "Liangdi", she should be Queen Taishang.

"I'll try it, but I haven't touched the pen for a long time, I'm afraid it's rusty."

Once upon a time in Yuezhou, she had learned a few white strokes from her aunt.

She took the pen he handed over, thought for a while, and concentrated on the pen, but with a few brushes, she outlined the outline of the Agarwood Pavilion, and the back of a woman stood against the railing, as if looking at the hibiscus flowers in the dragon pool. I also drew one or two peach blossoms in a corner of the pavilion, as if the whole spring poked into the picture from that corner.

Li Yu couldn't help but clap his hands and laughed: "The painting is excellent!" ”

Nianyun put down the pen and said with a smile: "Let my father see and laugh." ”

She used the title of "father", just because she suddenly felt that the title of "Emperor Taishang" was a bit prickly.

Li Yu looked at the poem and painting, and smiled slightly: "Chun'er's vision is good, you are an all-rounder." ”

Nian Yun bent his knees slightly, "Father praises falsely." After looking down and thinking about it, I always felt that Li Yu really didn't care about the government now, and he almost forgot the purpose of his trip for a while.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Yu had already seen the clue, put down the rice paper, and asked, "You should have something to talk to me about?" ”

Nianyun pondered again and again, and said, "Does my father know a scholar named Luo Lingze?" ”

Li Yu thought for a while, "I don't have an impression. What happened? ”

Nian Yun didn't obediently avoid looking directly at Tianyan, and the two eyes always fell on his face, but he didn't see anything, so he had to continue to ask: "So these days, father, is there still a white hemp life flowing out?" ”

Li Yu was suddenly very surprised, and said: "What does the affairs of the court have to do with me now, how can there still be white hemp inner life flowing out?" ”
