Chapter 90: The Garden

Seeing that Yan Qingge's eyes didn't seem to be very good, Shui Ying asked puzzledly, "Sister Qingge, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Qingge rubbed his eyes and said, "In the spring and summer evaluation of the academy, I got all the best. But it seems that I have read too many books, and these days I always feel that my eyes are blurry, and I have to get to a very close place to see things clearly. ”

Shui Ying worried: "You have a bad eye for reading, you can't fight like this in the future." After you go back, you ask Lang Zhong to grab some medicine to eat, and come back quickly, don't study these days. ”

Yan Qingge learned from Le Xuan's appearance and said, "Definitely! I'd rather go three days without meat than go a day without studying. Industry is good at diligence and ridiculous, and if you don't read the book, you will be rusty......"

Ling Xiao covered his forehead and said to Shui Ying in distress: "Look, it's just that after taking the academy's full honor evaluation, he has completely become a nerd." ”

Shui Ying laughed: "I just care about listening to Sister Qingge talk about going to school, what about you?" ”

Ling Xiao said: "I'm still the same, I like to ride a horse and practice martial arts the most." ”

Fortunately, Ling Xiao and Shui Ying diverted the topic, Yan Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, she learned Lexuan for a while, but after studying for a long time, she would inevitably reveal her stuffing, and it was better to bluff people if she didn't say anything.

The three of them sat for two quarters of an hour, and the grandmother behind Shui Ying quietly retreated, not knowing where she went.

The palace rules are strict, and the two of them entered the palace today, and they only had to stay for an hour and a half, and they had to go out after a while, and they couldn't even eat lunch here.

Yan Qingge looked at the time, there was still half an hour before she could go back, she felt that today's task was well accomplished.

The court was full of secrets, but there were also no secrets everywhere. Her performance today must soon reach the ears of the queen and the rest of the well-intentioned people, and the truth that the Yan family's concubine is a short-sighted nerd will definitely make these people reconsider the candidate for the crown princess.

When Yan Qingge just felt relieved, the grandmother walked in from the main entrance, gave a standard salute to Shui Ying, and said, "Shui girl, the queen mother heard that you have a playmate here, and she wants to meet the three girls." ”

In terms of qualifications, it is impossible for Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao to meet the queen, but it is different if the queen comes to summon her in person.

Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao looked at each other, and they both felt the incredulity in each other's eyes.

Shui Ying was also shocked when she heard the queen's summons. She has been in the palace for two months, and she has been staying in the Water Concubine Palace, and since she entered the palace gate, she has not stepped out of Yaohua Palace for half a foot. For more than two months, if the queen wanted to see her, she would have been summoned a long time ago, but now she doesn't know what's going on.

Shui Ying looked at the clothes and jewelry on her body to see that there was nothing wrong, and then nodded to Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao and said, "Then let's go." ”

Mama led the way in front, and without saying a word, she led the three girls towards Fengzao Palace.

The palace was very large, and after walking straight for a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at Fengzao Palace.

Fengzao Palace is extraordinary, not only the house is tall and magnificent, but also the yard is planted with two tall plane trees that soar to the sky and take off, and the thick ones need to be hugged by two people to surround them. For the sake of safety in the palace, it is rare to plant such a tall tree, and this tree is rare.

The palace maid who led the way from Fengzao Palace saw the amazed eyes of Ling Xiao and Yan Qingge, and explained with a smile: "This sycamore has been planted for a hundred years, it is really a good tree, it has thundered over the years, and it has never split them." Fengzao Palace has always been the residence of the queen, which can be seen to be blessed by the phoenix of the queen's mother. ”

Yan Qingge didn't squeak, and walked into the main hall of Fengzao Palace with the face of "non-scholars should not approach".

On the high throne of Fengzao Palace, the queen was wearing an apricot-colored robe and was waiting for them. When Sanxiao saw her, he immediately saluted her.

The queen has beautiful eyebrows, is in her early thirties, and her personality looks very amiable. She smiled and said, "No courtesy, come on, move the chair over, and ask the three girls to sit closer to me, so that I can be closer to them." ”

After Yan Qingge entered the main hall, she pretended to be short-sighted, her eyes were hazy and narrowed, as if she was trying very hard to look at the surrounding arrangements, but she showed a blank and distressed expression, as if she couldn't see anything, causing her to be very anxious.

The three girls sat down in front of the queen, and the queen was the first to say to Yan Qingge: "You are Yan Qingge, right?" ”

Yan Qingge nodded and said, "Yes!" The queen has good eyesight. ”

The queen smiled: "You are exactly the same as your mother Le Roulong, how can I not recognize you." When your mother and I were studying at Bailu Academy, we lived in the same courtyard and were close friends. ”

Yan Qingge hurriedly threw a respectful smile: "That's the blessing of the mothers of the people's daughters." ”

The queen turned her face and asked Shui Ying if she was used to living in the palace, and said a few words to Ling Xiao. Listening to her words, I knew that she had investigated the situation of several girls.

A few of them are just small miscellaneous fish, and the queen has to find out their way before summoning them. This made Yan Qingge even more determined to not marry the prince, and it was too tiring to be the queen.

Fortunately, although the queen called her, she didn't specifically pull her to talk, but talked more to Shui Ying, and comforted Ling Xiao, saying that her father and brother had made military achievements this year, and when the war calmed down, they would definitely be added to the ranks.

The queen's speech was gentle and measured, Yan Qingge originally planned to sell the fool, but after staying with her for half an hour, she also felt that the spring breeze was blowing, and she was faintly ashamed of her careful thoughts that she couldn't see people.

After leaving Fengzao Palace, Yan Qingge walked back with Shui Ying and Ling Xiao.

When Empress Fang Cai asked, Yan Qingge kept dragging his hobby to reading, and created an old-fashioned nerd image.

Ling Xiao felt that Yan Qingge was a little strange today, but she thought that Yan Qingge was nervous when she entered the palace for the first time. Shui Ying also thinks that today's Yan Qingge is weird, but she sometimes doesn't meet Yan Qingge, thinking that the two haven't seen each other for too long, and Yan Qingge will always have some changes.

Yes, they didn't say anything about Yan Qingge's outrageous performance today.

Before leaving Fengzao Palace, the queen gave them a reward, which meant that Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao had to eat in the palace before leaving.

On the way back, the mama who led the way asked, "There are two ways to go back, one is the road when you came, and the other is to pass by the Imperial Garden, I wonder if the three girls want to pass through the Imperial Garden." ”

Shui Ying has been here for a long time, and she hasn't been to the Imperial Garden once. But she was not very interested, before she left, the Yun family specially instructed her, so that she must be honest in the palace, and when her father and brother come home, they can come out, she had better be a deaf and dumb person without legs, just survive this time, don't have an accident at this time, otherwise there will be no one to rescue her.

Ling Xiao said excitedly: "Really? Can we go to the Imperial Garden? ”

The mamma nodded, and led them down the other path.

In a short time, the three girls arrived in the Imperial Garden.

The garden was full of beautiful flowers, but Yan Qingge's sharp eyes found that most of these flowers were newly transplanted, and the roots could still see fresh loose soil that was not very strong. Moreover, every flower here is in full bloom just right, and not a single one is a broken willow.

In order to let the nobles in the palace enjoy the flowers, the people who manage this imperial garden have really put a lot of thought into it. They should first raise the flowers in other places to be beautiful and strong, and then choose the ones that bloom just right and transplant them, and then replace them with new ones after the flowering period has passed. Except for the royal family, there is no place where the courtyard can withstand such a toss.

Yan Qingge couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.

Are the people in the palace any different from this flower? Those beautiful women were selected one after another, and they often ended up only with a red face and a pre-old grace, and they never even got the emperor's favor, which was worse than these flowers.

It's a place where you can never see tears, decay, withering, and all the negativity on the bright side. But are the people here really happy?

Just like these plants with bright flowers in front of them, after they were removed, because they broke the ground twice in a short period of time, they basically only died.

Yan Qingge didn't say a word, but he didn't have any intention of appreciating the flowers. Shui Ying is also a nose and nose, and she is not here to enjoy the flowers. Only Ling Xiao was elated.

On the other side of the road, a group of women in palace costumes walked over, all dressed as palace maids, they were in a hurry, and two of them whispered: "Fifth prince, you be careful, run slowly, don't stumble and trip." ”

Yan Qingge was strange for a while, she only saw that group of palace maids, where was the prince in their mouths?

At this moment, behind a row of tall roses, a small fleshy figure emerged, and he giggled and trotted down the road. It was the row of tall roses that blocked his figure.

This child is only two or three years old, Yuxue is cute, and a pair of black eyes look like two pills of black jade have been raised in mercury. Yan Qingge knew that this child must be the fifth prince.

She brushed her thoughts, responded to the memories before her rebirth, and then looked at the eyes of the five princes, with a little unconscious pity.

The fifth prince Yuanli is where the concubine is waiting, and he has a compatriot brother, who is the second prince Yuanzhen. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Yuan Zhen and the foreign family Ning Wangfu rebelled, after the incident, Yuan Zhen and the Hou family of Ning Wangfu, and his mother concubine, a total of hundreds of people, were cut in the city together.

Yuan Li was only twelve years old at the time, and he was still a minor, and he was exiled to the bitter cold Northland. According to folk legends, in the first year of his first year, his legs were frozen because he couldn't bear the cold, and he became a paralyzed man, and he didn't live to be 20 years old, and died alone at the border.

In less than ten years, Yuan Li will be lowered from the high crown prince to a prisoner. Yan Qingge looked at such a small meat dumpling at the moment, and felt quite unbearable.

Yuan Li ran and ran, and when he saw Yan Qingge and a few people standing in front of him, he stopped, and saw that Yan Qingge and the others were not wearing palace clothes, so he said crisply: "Hey, what a few strange sisters." You look different from my palace maids. ”

The palace maids guessed that Yan Qingge and the others must be guests, and hurriedly said to Yuan Li: "Fifth prince, this is the female family who came to the palace from outside, not the palace maid." ”

"Oh, where are you?" Yuan Li asked with a steady look.

Yan Qingge, Shui Ying, and Ling Xiao saluted the young Yuan Li, and reported their names one by one.

Yuan Li tilted his head and pointed at them and said, "This is Sister Yan, this is Sister Ling, and this is Sister Shui, I recognize them all." Yuanli is now going to go to the concubine for dinner, and several sisters remember to come to Yuanli to play. ”

"Little Reiko, who do you want to play with you?" Suddenly, a playful naughty teenager's voice sounded behind everyone.
