Chapter 67: Qionghua

In April, the spring is strong, I leaned alone under the beauty screen to read Cong Mian's letter, I slowly put down the letter, Cong Mian guarded the tomb for Yuli, and went to visit Yuli every day, talking, in order to relieve the guilt in my heart. I know Yuli's love for Cong Mian in my heart, but she is too stupid, and I am sorry for her.

The pink butterfly flew in from the window at some point, and danced in the room, probably following the scent of irises burning in the room, this iris was the fragrance of Cong Mian's body that day, so I guessed that he must have liked this flower, so I replaced all the incense burners in the room with this spice, which is Aiwu and Wu.

Looking at these butterflies, thinking that the scenery of the Imperial Garden must be better, I took the hibiscus to the Imperial Garden, now is the time when the Imperial Garden is full of flowers, competing for beauty, it would be a pity not to watch.

Coincidentally, Lan Guiren was still dressed in a gorgeous outfit, and her fiery thin lips opened slightly: "Sister, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, I hope my sister will become a man in one fell swoop." ”

Wan Er smiled, took Lan Guiren's hand and said: "Borrow your auspicious words, but the time you enter the palace is not a day or two, and there should be movement, lick a younger brother or sister for the child in my womb." ”

Lan Guiren, who was originally a free and uninhibited person, suddenly became shy and bowed his head: "Sister, don't make fun of me." ”

I took Lan Guiren's hand and walked in the palace alley, but I didn't see the green calyx walking over. The green calyx coughed sharply before he came to him, and I knew it was the green calyx when I heard the voice, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a clever nobleman, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

I blessed my body and gave a salute, and the corner of the green calyx smiled contemptuously, looked at my abdomen, and said, "I don't dare to let you salute, your body is now a hundred times more precious than us people." ”

I didn't say anything, I was used to the indifference and unfriendliness of the green calyx to me, and Lan Guiren was straightforward: "If you don't have a golden person, you don't need to envy Sister Jin." ”

Hearing this, the green calyx's eyes were gloomy, and the corners of the sleeves embroidered with Ruiyun hung down, I frowned and pinched Lan Guiren's arm and signaled her not to speak, it cannot be denied that I still have sympathy for the green calyx.

Since I was pregnant, I can better understand the pain of the green calyx, a male fetus that is almost full-term is aborted like this, and I also feel that she is also a poor woman, even if she stabbed me with a hairpin in the incense hall that day, I don't resent her in my heart, after all, I am the indirect murderer who caused her to lose her child.

I broke the embarrassing stalemate, looked at the intersection in front of me, and said as gently as possible: "I won't go with the noble man, we will go to the Imperial Garden, I know that the noble man is allergic to flowers, so I won't leave you." ”

"Why don't you go, I'm going to go with you." The green calyx said coldly and stubbornly.

Walking on the road of flowers and stones, because the green calyx followed behind me and Lan Guiren did not speak, I only looked down at the pattern of flowers and birds on the stone road, only to see the Taihu Lake stone rockery on the side of the north palace wall after the Shunzhen Gate, the strange stone in the garden, the beautiful trees are verdant, the ancient cypress vines, the garden is dotted to make the whole garden look interesting, which undoubtedly arouses the sense of comfort in the heart.

Walked into the garden and smelled a strong fragrance, carefully distinguish to know that it was the original osmanthus fragrance, the peony in the glass flower bed opened just right, there were two people sitting in the Wanchun Pavilion in front of it and could vaguely identify it was the letter of the noble concubine and the Qing noble, because of the distance between them did not go to the salute.

The green calyx smelled the fragrance of osmanthus and covered her nose in disgust, looked at the two people in the pavilion and said sarcastically at the corners of her mouth: "She came early enough, who knows if the emperor can come." ”

Hearing the words of the green calyx, I remembered that Yongyan also loves to come to the nourishment of this imperial garden, located in the southwest corner of the imperial garden, and will definitely pass through here, since the Qing nobles were drunk by Yongyan in the Qiancui Garden, Yongyan has not summoned her for a month since then, presumably the Qing nobles must be here to attract Yongyan.

I and the Lan Guiren only cared about watching the peony flowers in the altar, the butterflies were flying in the garden, I took off a peony hairpin on the Lan Guiren's hair bun, and looked at the Lan Guiren with approval, the Lan Guiren's makeup was already gorgeous and more charming with this peony flower.

The green calyx greeted behind me, and I turned around to find that Xin Guifei and Qing Guiren were already behind me, "Guifei Niangniang." I stepped forward and saluted.

Concubine Xin glanced at me gently, and smiled: "It's all my own sisters, don't be polite, Jin promised, we haven't seen each other for many days, and we should talk about it well." ”

I nodded and said yes, Qing Guiren, who was standing next to Concubine Xin, looked at me unnaturally, the corners of my mouth raised lightly and smiled at her, and Qing Guiren's eyes looked away unnaturally to avoid my gaze.

Sure enough, Yongyan's figure came from Shunzhenmen, from far to near, and the father-in-law behind him followed closely, Yongyan's face was comfortable, the corners of his mouth were raised, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood today, and he was not bothered by government affairs.

Everyone was busy to greet them, and Yongyan flicked his sleeves and waved his hand: "It's all free." Yongyan walked up to me and took me with his left hand and Lan Guiren with his right hand, patted my hand, and said, "I was just going to see you, but Xiao Anzi said that you came here here." ”

I nodded with a smile, and Lan Guiren helped Yongyan coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are so biased, you only know how to go to your sister's place, and you don't come to see me." ”

Yongyan looked at the peony flower on Lan Guiren's head, his eyes lit up, and said, "This flower is good, it is quite suitable for you." Yongyan walked to the glass flower bed and picked a white and full Qionghua hairpin on my head, and muttered: "Qionghua is a famous flower in my country. Zhang Wen of the Song Dynasty described it in "Qiong Hua Fu": "Li is beautiful in jasmine, smiling roses in the mortal, but narcissus can be and its leisure, and Jiangmei seems to be the same as its clear and gentle, this flower is only worthy of you." ”

I lowered my eyebrows and said, "The emperor has praised it, how can the concubines be worthy of its cleanliness and elegance." ”

Green Calyx snorted coldly on the side, Yongyan frowned when he heard this, and Green Calyx bowed his head in interest and was silent. I sighed in my heart: It would be nice if I could really be like this Qionghua, but fate is too tricky.

Qing Guiren walked to Yongyan with small steps and said slowly: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, this Qionghua was originally unique to Yangzhou, and it is a precious flower and tree that is unique in other places. ”

I let out a puzzled "oh" and pondered: "But as far as the concubines know, when Emperor Yang of Sui arrived in Yangzhou, Qionghua had been destroyed in an ice rain, and then uprisings broke out in various places, the regime of the Sui Dynasty collapsed, and Emperor Yang of Sui died in Yangzhou. ”

I paused, looked at the Qing noble, and then his tone became heavy: "I don't know what the Qing nobleman did with this tyrant on the emperor's premise, the emperor just made a hairpin for me, and the Qing nobleman doesn't need to insinuate about the emperor." ”

Yongyan understood my words, displeasure flashed across his face, Qing Guiren wanted to please Yongyan to show off his literary talents, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, Yongyan frowned and looked at Qing Guiren, Xin Guifei smiled and pulled Qing Guiren behind him and retreated.

I held a Qionghua in my hand and murmured: "Qionghua is not a flower, it is a symbol of being oppressed and poor, the flower dies and the Sui Palace is extinguished, it is not afraid of power, it loves and hates clearly, it has spirit and affection, and it is a symbol of beautiful things." ”

Yongyan gently stroked my sideburns and hair, bit my ear and whispered in my ear: "In my mind, you are like this Qionghua." ”
