Chapter 28: Favorite Maple Grove Night
In the kneeling salute of everyone, Ma Huanting, who was wearing a red brocade long skirt, got off the carriage with the false support of the attendants.
Qi Xuanyu, who was wrapped over there with only a pair of eyes, also got out of the carriage with the support of Father-in-law Mu.
"Xuanyu, are you okay?" Ma Huanting came to Qi Xuan's side in a few steps, stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve.
Seeing Ma Huanting like this, Qi Xuanyu slowly took off her towel and smiled at her: "Xuanyu is fine." Sister don't worry. ”
"Let's go!" Qi Xuanyu really understands her mind too well, at this moment she just wants Qi Xuanyu to show her face and let everyone in the palace see how glorious her concubine is.
She can't forget the palace people who followed her father to the palace three years ago, and those palace people who pointed at her.
That time, her two younger sisters were paired with the pony master, and she was the only one. In order not to be embarrassed, without the summons of her father, she basically went out behind closed doors.
This time, she wanted to make everyone who had laughed at her regret saying that about her in the first place.
At this time, the sunset was just right, and the brilliance of the blush shone on her and Qi Xuanyu, not to mention how beautiful it was.
From the surprised and envious eyes of the palace people alone, she knew that she would encounter a lot of jealousy when she walked with Qi Xuanyu. And that's just the palace. When she returned to the palace, she led him from the gate of the palace to her father's glorious palace. When the time comes, Qi Xuanyu will also be dressed in red satin. Her sisters would surely go crazy with jealousy, too.
In the beautiful reverie and the attention of the palace people, Ma Huanting led Qi Xuanyu until she walked to the front of the Red Leaf Hall before stopping.
"Xuanyu." Ma Huanting was in a good mood: "The Red Maple Hall is the highest, and there is a maple viewing platform on it, and you can see the red maple all over the mountains and fields when you lie on the bed, so you can live here." ”
"Thank you, sister." Qi Xuanyu smiled with a smile in his eyes: "I have never been out of the palace, and there is only a small maple forest in the palace." The appearance of autumn leaves all over the mountains must be beautiful. ”
"Let's go!" Ma Wanting said with a smile: "While the sun is setting, let's go and have a look!" ”
Ma Huanting led Qi Xuanyu and climbed to the top floor of the Red Maple Hall in one breath. At this moment, the sunset is about to end, and a soft low light dyes the maple forest orange.
Qi Xuanyu panted and said, "It's so beautiful! Sister, can we stay here for a few more days? ”
"Yes!" Ma Wanting couldn't help but say proudly when she saw Qi Xuanyu's amazement: "If you like it, we will come here every autumn in the future." ”
"Okay!" Qi Xuanyu was still panting: "My mother loved red leaves the most when she was alive!" There is a way to see the beautiful scenery of the world, and I love the maple forest at night. The red maple in the palace was planted by my father for my mother's concubine. If she had lived until now and saw such a large maple forest, she would definitely not want to leave. ”
"Really?" Qi Xuanyu has been telling her about her mother's concubine, and she must be sincere to her.
"yes!" Qi Xuanyu turned her head to look at Ma Huanting and sighed faintly: "It's a pity that my mother is gone, and the maple forest is also destroyed." They don't even leave me with a single thought. ”
"Your mother's concubine ......" Ma Huanting remembered the last time Qi Xuanyu cried and said that his mother was hated by others, and she must have been killed. He has been pretending not to know for so many years, so he knows the murderer of his mother: "But who killed him?" If you want to avenge your mother, just tell me. ”
Qi Xuanyu turned his gaze to Fenglin: "My mother said that as long as I live well, it's fine." They're huge......"
Qi Xuanyu's simple words, Ma Huanting could think of Qi Xuanyu's loneliness in the palace over the years, and she became more and more distressed: "Don't be afraid, there is me!" When we get married, your mother will be my mother. I will surely seek justice for her and let the wicked receive the punishment they deserve. ”
"Xuanyu thanked my sister for my mother."
It was already dark when I came down from the maple viewing platform.
The two faced each other and had a delicate dinner.
The two talked happily during the whole process.
After the meal, Ma Huanting said with a smile: "Xuanyu's red maple hall is not only convenient for appreciating the maple trees, but also the best for bathing in the hot spring. This soup spring comes from the underground, not to mention that it can also go to all kinds of diseases, and it is the most suitable for you to soak. At that time, my father was also optimistic about the soup spring here, so he built a palace here. You must be tired from the rush of the day. Later, let the palace people serve you, soak in the hot spring and then go to bed. I live in the Hongxia Hall next door to you, and you can call me at any time. ”
"Okay." Qi Xuanyu nodded and smiled: "It's late at night, my sister should rest as soon as possible." Let's watch the sunrise in the maple forest tomorrow, okay? ”
"Okay!" Ma Wanting got up and smiled: "I'll come to you tomorrow to see." ”
As soon as Ma Huanting walked outside the hall, she saw Dongfang Qiyang trotting all the way over: "Your Highness!" The old man has figured it out! The old man deserves to come out! ”
"Really?" Ma Wanting suddenly came to her senses: "Then Mr. Lao has a few more plans." Speaking of this, Ma Huanting changed her words again: "No! Don't take the same medicine, can you improve on it? Let the medicine cure his illness and don't want him to lose his life! ”
"No way!" Dongfang Qiyang shook his head: "The old man said that it can be matched, but it is not so easy, and the medicinal materials in it are all rare things, and they are not ordinary medicinal materials that can be used." One of them alone is the Soul Restoration Grass, which is only available in the mountains and rivers of our northern Chu Prefecture. The rest of the herbs are all over the place, and they have to be picked according to the season. It's just to collect all these medicinal materials, and it won't work for a year and a half......"
Hearing Dongfang Qi say this, Ma Huanting's heart was cold again, and it was ten days away from Quzhou to return to the imperial city, and Qi Xuanyu only had two pairs of medicines, if he had a cough and asthma during the wedding, her sisters would definitely laugh at her again.
"Your Highness, don't be too anxious!" Dongfang Qiyang said again: "I have sent letters to a few of my old friends, let them find them for me." If it's fast, it should be able to get it together in half a month. At present, the closest to me is the Soul Restoration Grass in Fengzhou, if Your Highness can be trusted, the old man will go immediately. ”
"Wait!" Hearing that Dongfang Qiyang was leaving, Ma Huanting suddenly disagreed: "Since there is still half a month left." Sir, let's stay. Besides, this time we happened to pass through the south of Fengzhou, so it was better to take a detour to the mountains and rivers in the north to accompany Mr. to find it. Beichuan and the Great Zhou Linzhou Prefecture are adjacent to each other, and they have always been a place of contention between the two countries. At present, although it is owned by my Da Chu, but Da Zhou's ambition to occupy Fengzhou has never changed, and Mr. will go alone, and Wan Ting is not at ease. It's better for Mr. to stay and think about the prescription to improve the cure without reducing the life expectancy. ”
"Okay!" Dongfang Qiyang exhaled: "It's just that this one is a bit difficult." Medicine, a little deviation, may become poison. Your Royal Highness, these days, if King Yu is fine, the old man wants to retreat and develop medicinal materials, and the idle people should not come to disturb the old man. ”
"Yes! Ma Wanting hurriedly saluted and said, "Please leave everything to Mr." ”
