Long Yu led the head in, "The eldest princess's thoughts may be difficult to realize in Zhong Cui Palace. ”

Princess Rongshou followed behind and asked, "Why?" ”

Longyu chuckled, "Bengong also said that Bengong doesn't like those flowers and plants, there are still a few flowers in the yard, Bengong doesn't know the name, as early as when he entered the Zhongcui Palace, someone came to move away," said, and casually pointed to a few blue hydrangeas outside the eaves, "Bengong only looked at these plants and it was a little more pleasing to the eye, as if it didn't attract mosquitoes, and the color was even more novel." ”

As far as the eye can see, the corolla as big as a ball is composed of many small blue flowers, the fat and wide green leaves are green and stretched, as if a wide palm will hold the hydrangea flowers, a gust of wind blows and the wind shakes the branches, and the indigo of the full plant flows slowly with the wind, like a blue enchantress with a skirt, standing by the water, looking forward to the brilliance. Blue hydrangeas have always been rare, not to mention such a rich indigo, I couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, the slave asks more, is the hydrangea that Zhong Cui Palace will raise always be such a color?" ”

Longyu glanced back at me, and then smiled proudly, "That's natural, what this palace wants has always been the most special, unlike ordinary people, everything is considered good." After speaking, Longyu paused lightly, turned around and looked me up and down, and sneered before continuing to walk inside.

I shook my head behind me and sighed softly.

Princess Rongshou showed a slight puzzle on her face, and whispered: "Why have I never seen hydrangeas of this color?" ”

I hurriedly drove up and asked, "What did Princess Celestia say?" ”

Princess Rongshou frowned and shook her head, "It's nothing. ”

Then Longyu took out a silk to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and sighed, "It's too hot this day, this palace wants to enter Zhongcui Palace to change clothes, didn't the eldest princess say that she wants to find mint, try your luck, this palace will not accompany you," said, his eyes swept to my face lightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, a strange smile appeared, and said coldly to me, "I think that Concubine Zhen also doesn't want to be under the same roof with this palace, two by two, this palace is not happy, you are not happy, why don't you accompany the eldest princess to find mint in the courtyard for this palace, Fortunately, I experienced the difficulties of the world under the scorching sun, and I felt grateful for it, so that I would be more dedicated to serving the emperor in the future. ”

I leaned over and said, "Yes, follow the teachings of my mother." ”

Longyu quietly walked in and closed the window door tightly, and watched a row of palace maids and eunuchs move a few buckets of ice into the ear room, and made two basins of well water, followed by tea cups and snacks, and knew that the main hall must be extremely cool and leisurely, no better than the gold and stone flowing outside, and the summer fumigation. Princess Rongshou looked left and right, pulled me and walked to the backyard, cared for a long time, and said hatefully: "I'm really angry, all the good flowers and plants have been trampled by her!" There is only a pile of rubble left in the good Zhongcui Palace! ”

I sighed, "Forget it, it's come to this, and I can only accept the reality, after all, the past is in the past," I said, I lowered my eyes and poked a few more glances on the ground, and said regretfully, "Almost all the exotic flowers and plants have been transplanted, and they won't grow mint anymore." ”

Princess Rongshou's shoulders trembled slightly, "The only place I miss in the Forbidden City is gone, and too many memories sealed in Zhongcui Palace are all gone at once." ”

I sighed softly, like falling rain, glanced at her sideways, and comforted her softly: "Maybe God is telling us to look forward, don't always linger in the past, and continue to live well is to live up to the sustenance and nostalgia." ”

Princess Rongshou's hands were cold and damp with sweat, and she held my hand tightly and whispered, "Have you noticed those hydrangeas in the front yard just now?" ”

I nodded, and said, "I was also about to ask the eldest princess, have you seen hydrangeas of this color in Zhongcui Palace a few days ago?" ”

Princess Rongshou thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No." ”

I asked, "Celestia sure?" ”

She let out an "um" and affirmed, "I'm sure." ”

I took a deep breath and frowned, "That's weird. ”

She asked, "How?" ”

I raised my eyebrows, held her hand, raised my feet and walked towards the outside of Zhong Cui Palace, came out, and walked a few more steps before I was willing to say: "Blue hydrangeas are rare, not to mention such a rich indigo, if it has always been such a color, there is nothing to say, but if it is slowly formed such a color later, then there must be an article in it." ”

Princess Rongshou's eyes flashed with an unspeakable sense of sorrow, "To be honest, I also think this thing is a little strange," and after a while, she added, "Zhong Cui Palace has not been inhabited since the death of the Empress Dowager Dong, until the Empress Dowager has moved in again." ”

I was excited, "Could it be that the eldest princess suspects that there is something related to the queen mother here?" ”

Princess Rongshou shook her head, "I suspect that the matter here has something to do with the Empress Dowager Dong." ”

I looked at Princess Rongshou and thought about it secretly, and the more I thought about it, the creepy I felt!

She said dejectedly: "The Empress Dowager Dong's body has always been tough and healthy, and when I heard that the Empress Dowager Dong passed away suddenly, I was suspicious in my heart, and I only hated myself for not knowing where to start." ”

I asked, "Since you are suspicious and often enter the palace, you haven't asked the emperor later?" ”

She lowered her eyes, "I asked, but the emperor was too young and controlled by Lafayette at that time, where did he know anything?" With a sigh, he said, "At first, it was the first emperor, and then the empress dowager, they left me one after another, but I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't even figure out the real cause of their death," she looked at me with a clear water in her eyes, "Isn't it ridiculous?" With a slight sigh, he continued: "This is the emperor's family. ”

One sentence expresses infinite sorrow, I know that the unjust souls in the Forbidden City are not only Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Dowager Ci'an, there have been, there are now, and there will be in the future, even Zai Xiang can't escape. In fact, think about it, Princess Rongshou is also quite pitiful, but many things are so helpless, although history is not human can be recovered, but some things can still be planned, I comforted softly: "The geese have left traces, where they have passed, there must be traces, no murderer can escape the shackles of the truth, the truth will be late, but it will come eventually." ”

Princess Rongshou looked at me and said softly, "Did you find anything relevant in it?" ”

I nodded, "Naturally, but not entirely sure," and after a while, I stared at her, my voice quiet and silent, "I also hope that Princess Celestia will tell me the truth." ”

Her eyes twinkled, "What words?" ”

I looked at her and asked slowly, "The eldest princess often enters the palace and deliberately approaches Lafayette because of the first emperor and the empress dowager?" ”

Her eyebrows jumped suddenly, she was silent for a while, then nodded and said earnestly, "Yes." I didn't expect her to say a "yes" so frankly, without any explanation, and I began to admire her a little sincerely.

I asked again, "What about Concubine Yu?" ”

She lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly, "No," she added, "I am sincere to Niangniang, I want to protect her, I don't want her to die like the Empress Dowager and the first emperor in the end." ”

I smiled lightly and pursed my lips, "I think that Concubine Yu Niangniang should know some inside information for a long time in the palace, so we might as well ask Concubine Yu Niangniang." ”

Princess Rongshou looked at me, "Haven't you already discovered the relevance of it?" ”

After a short silence, I said softly: "It is precisely because of the relevance of it that I have to ask Concubine Yu about some past things, otherwise I can't deduce, let alone be sure." ”

Princess Rongshou grabbed my sleeve and said anxiously: "Then you tell me about it first." ”

I shook my head, "No," and added, "I have to listen to what Concubine Yu has to say first." ”

She glared at me with a sad gaze, "Don't you believe me?" ”

I said in a low voice: "No," my eyes looked at her deeply, infinitely earnest, "In this Forbidden City, except for Zaiyan, the person I trust the most now is you," after a breath, I said again, "Eldest princess, you don't understand, there are some things that we can't say clearly, anyway, everything will be known when we go to Chuxiu Palace." ”
