Chapter Twenty-Eight: Drunken Begonias in Xifu

Day 2.

Flooding new lotus, light swallow dancing wind, garden trees are thick, the garden is long in summer, and it is still a warm wind.

Zhaoyun crouched in front of the table behind the window, holding a book of the geography of the five continents, and read it carefully.

This history book records the changes of five continents and six countries in the past 100 years.

According to legend, after Fu Yu ruled the water, the land was divided into nine continents: Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Jing, Yang, Henan, Liang, and Yong.

The Houjiang River flooded, and the four continents of Hebei, Xu, Jing, and Henan were submerged, leaving only the other five continents.

North of Yanzhou, it is a country that traces back to the north; Qingzhou is the east, and it is the country of Donglai; to the west of Yangzhou, it is the Western Vu Kingdom; To the south of Liangzhou, Nanyue and Cangwu are each small countries.

Yunqiguo, located in Yongzhou, is in the middle of the six continents, and has unique geographical advantages.

The six nations had each occupied one side and had nothing to do with each other. But later, Beisu was not satisfied with the status quo and successively sent troops to attack Donglai and Xiwu.

At that time, the two countries were still outnumbered and the people were weak, and the north went back to win a great victory and became the largest country in the five continents.

However, Beisu was still not satisfied with the status quo and attacked Yunqiguo, but was restrained by Yunqi's unique geographical advantages, and was defeated and retreated by General Xiao, and has been cultivating and recuperating in the past few years.

However, the Western Wu Kingdom took advantage of this opportunity to quickly forge weapons, recruit troops, and develop in an instant within a few years, becoming the second largest country in the five continents.

Zhaoyun took his eyes off the book and looked at the verdant bamboo forest outside Xuan's window.

Where should she go?

The reflection of the green bamboo's eyes showed a slight dazedness, but soon, the blank color dissipated in an instant, leaving only a firm color.

"Princess, didn't the palace maid of Cheng'en Palace yesterday say that Mu Guifei invited the princess over today, do you want to go?" Biluo, who was waiting on the side, reminded softly.

Not long ago, she broke Murong Ruo's trick and tripped her into the water, making her a big ugly. Would it be good to invite her over now?

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhaoyun's face.

He changed his shirt with a narrow-sleeved stand-up collar embroidered with bamboo, and a moon-white dark pleated skirt underneath.

used a jasper hairpin to pull a flying bun at will, and then used Daizi snails to add long eyebrows like smoke, which suddenly showed a sense of fierceness.

Take Biluo and go to Cheng'en Palace.

Cheng'en Palace is not far from Zhaoyun Palace, and a cup of tea will arrive.

At the flower viewing banquet that day, Murong Ruo and Guo Yun'er were both canonized as concubines. Although they are both concubines, they are still a head lower than Guo Yun'er. Cheng'en Palace is also far from being as grand as Zhongcui Palace.

There are patches of begonias planted everywhere in the palace, and Zhaoyun walked along the road, and saw a large number of Xifu begonias in the West Altar. Zhaoyun unconsciously leaned closer to take a closer look.

When the begonia flowers in Xifu are not opened, the buds are red and bright, like rouge. Now after opening, it gradually turns pink, like a dawn sky.

This tree is pretty, fragrant and gorgeous, and it is the top grade in begonias.

"It seems that Princess Zhaoyun is very interested in Begonia." A clear, soft voice came from not far away.

Zhaoyun looked over, and Murong Ruo was wearing a violet scattered flower Ruyi skirt, along the cobblestone path, and came in style.

Now it seems that she is a bright beauty, just like this begonia. It's a pity that they are not fellow travelers.

The concubine is a concubine, and the etiquette should be saluted to Zhaoyun.

I saw her hands loosely clenched into fists and made a blessing salute. Zhaoyun didn't say anything, and bowed slightly at her.

"Concubine Mu sent a palace maid yesterday, what is the so-called matter of inviting me to come?" Zhaoyun glanced at her and asked with a smile.

"Since I entered the palace, I haven't invited the princess to come and sit, it's Rong Ruo's faux pas." He said sorry words, but there was no apology in his tone.

"Mu Guifei, I think-we don't seem to have such a deep friendship!" Zhao Yunwan'er, with a cold in his words, "I think, even you may hate me......"

The trace of smile maintained on Murong Ruomingyan's face instantly became extremely stiff.

"Princess Zhaoyun is really joking, why do I hate you?" Murong Ruo smirked to hide his embarrassment.

It's a pity that Zhaoyun didn't buy her account at all, and said bluntly: "Not long ago, on the shore of Qinshui Lake, you wanted to calculate me, but you didn't expect that in the end, it was yourself who calculated. Mu Guifei, am I right? ”

The smile that Murong Ruo forcibly squeezed out instantly froze on that bright face. The peach cheeks bulged slightly, and he almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.

Zhaoyun saw her way of holding back her anger, and burst out laughing.

People are under the begonia tree, at this time a gust of fragrant wind blows, and the petals fall with the wind, like a rain of flowers.

"Princess Zhaoyun, you're thinking too much." Murong Ruo took advantage of the petals falling, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said with a smile, "That time I fell into the water was just an accident, not like Zhaoyun thought. ”

It seems that this Murong Ruo is even more powerful than she imagined.

Zhaoyun stretched out his plain white hand and gently picked up the begonia petals that fell on one shoulder, unconsciously.

"That might be really me thinking too much."

"That's right, it must be Sister Zhaoyun who thinks too much." Murong Ruo sneered, "Since I entered the palace, this is the first time that Sister Zhaoyun has come to me. We've been talking outside for so long, you should be thirsty too, hurry up and get a cup of tea inside and talk again. ”

also smiled and said to Biluo on the side: "I have a lot to talk about with your master, you go back first, and I will send someone to send your princess back later." ”

Biluo looked at Zhaoyun inquiringly, Zhaoyun nodded in agreement, and she bowed and slowly left.

Now that even the title has become so affectionate, she doesn't think she knows her well. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

also drove Biluo away, there is another conspiracy.

Zhaoyun thought to himself in his heart, but he still nodded, and followed her quietly, watching the begonia flowers bloom along the path.

When I walked to the door of the inner hall of Cheng'en Palace, a faint fragrance came to my nose. Zhaoyun instantly frowned slightly and stopped in front of the door.

"Sister Zhaoyun, please!" Murong Ruo on the side made a gesture of please enter.

Zhaoyun glanced at her obliquely, only to see the smile on her face, and the terrible thoughts that flashed in her heart became more and more determined.

When it was too late, Zhaoyun stretched out his hand and pushed Murong Ruo in from behind. He quickly closed the door and locked it.

Dare to light a drunken begonia on the incense burner in the house, trying to lure her into the game?

Want to hurt her? No way!

Suddenly, a fierce knock on the door sounded from inside the door.

"Princess Zhaoyun, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!" Murong Ruo shouted in fear.

"I have no grievances with you, why do you want to hurt me repeatedly? He even wanted to ruin my name. ”

"All of this was done by Duke An Zhi for me, not what I thought!" Murong Ruo patted on the door while trying to explain.

"Even though it wasn't your intention, you did it, so it's no one else's fault." Zhao Yunqiang was ruthless and said coldly through the door.

"If you plant the cause yourself, you can only eat the fruit well." Leaving this sentence, Zhaoyun coldly glanced at the locked red lacquered wooden door, turned around and left firmly.

"Zhaoyun, don't go...... Don't leave! I was wrong! Really wrong! Murong Ruo's voice was still ringing behind him.

"You femme fatale! Let me out! ”

“……”

"You slut, let me out!"

“……”

"I'm out, I won't let you go!"

Zhaoyun ignored the shouting and scolding from behind him and left Cheng'en Palace directly.

Seeing that there was no hope of going out, Murong Ruo slowly slid down the door and fell to the ground, and a few tears also slid down his face.

There is only remorse and anger in my heart.

Was she wrong?

No, she didn't. She just wants to use An Zhi's power to regain her holy grace.

But why, did things always go in the opposite direction she expected? Why does she always suffer the consequences of her own evil? Why?

Wisps of light smoke slowly emerged from the purple-gold hollowed-out incense burner, gradually filling the entire empty inner hall.

Bursts of heat, like waves, came from the depths of the flesh until they swept through every part of the limbs.

In addition to the heat, it is still hot! Every part of the body is like a blazing flame. She just wanted to find a cool place to completely alleviate this discomfort that was worse than death.

Gradually, she lost the last shred of her sanity, and frantically tugged at her clothes until the last moment of blurred vision......
