Chapter 22: The Imperial Garden

"The county lord has her own considerations, you don't have to be angry with the county lord."

"How dare I be angry with the county lord, I just hope that the county lord will see me pitiful and fulfill my wish."

"You said that you wouldn't be angry with the county lord, but you see that you are full of complaints, and you say that you are not angry!" Mei Zhi suddenly came back, standing at the door and facing Lan Xiang: "Is it a good thing for you to go to the Lin Mansion?" Which man of the Lin family is not rhetorical, the county lord is for your good, you are good, wolf-hearted dog-hearted! ”

Mei Zhi has always disliked the high-spirited Lanxiang, she has felt that Lanxiang is restless since she was a child, and she can't look down on her by pinching half of her eyes.

Lan Xiang opened her eyes and quibbled with Mei Zhi: "Mei Zhi, what do you mean by this, when did I complain about the county lord, the county lord treats us well, how Lan Xiang doesn't know, the county bishop teaches me to read and write, let me read, how grateful I am to the county lord." ”

"You've only been serving the county lord for a few years and you're in a hurry to get married, I don't know how to thank the county lord for repaying your kindness like this?"

"Alright." Ju Brew said to stop: "The county lord will wake up after a while, do you want to watch you talk so fast here?" How this matter depends on what the county lord says, what can you two argue with a word? ”

Mei Zhi turned his head and left, and Ju Brew didn't say anything about it, but looked at Lan Xiang and pushed the door out.

Xihe went to see Liu's mother in the morning and took Xiyue to the palace, Wudou stayed by Liu's mother's bedside, so it was Wang Er who drove today.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think that this carriage is shaking, and you don't need the villain to hurry up any longer."

"No, this speed is fine, I'm in a hurry to enter the palace."

"Okay!"

Xiyue sat in the carriage with Xihe, the carriage was bumpy, and the tassel hairpin on Xihe's forehead dangled and his face hurt.

"Princess, the slave maid will take off your hairpin, and get off the carriage and bring it back later."

"It's okay like this, it hurts to hit your face."

"The princess has always been like this, and she doesn't say anything when she is wronged, but it seems that we slaves are careless."

Xiyue has been with Xihe for a long time, knows Xihe's temper, and occasionally jokes with Xihe.

Xihe has never been in charge of the Yahuan in the courtyard, and he can still afford the responsibility of being in charge of the Yahuan in terms of ability, if Liu's mother really can't stand it, she will be able to pick it up if she says to pick it up.

"The girl in my room should be your most intimate, if you are still careless, I am afraid that the little girls in the agarwood restaurant should be dismissed."

Xihe covered his nose with his sleeve and chuckled, and it was difficult to hide his pleasure when he mentioned Sisi.

"Her Royal Highness the princess treats her subordinates well, even in the county lord's courtyard, the slave maid heard that the orchid in the county lord's courtyard is like a little master, wearing red and green!"

"Sisi is most accustomed to the ones in her room, and the rewards from time to time are written and worn, but she herself, the county lord is not like a county lord, but like a monkey who came from nowhere."

"Her Royal Highness the princess said with a smile, the county lord has been beautiful since he was a child, he is dressed whitely, and he has a good temper, and it is really a blessing for Xiyue to be able to serve in the princess's mansion."

"Alas, I don't know when the plaque of this princess's mansion will be removed."

Xihe suddenly sighed.

"Princess, don't say that, the plaque of our princess's mansion is given by His Majesty, how can you say that you will pick it up."

"Princess, it's here."

Wang Er's voice came from outside the door curtain, and he came to the root of this imperial city again.

Today is not a summons, and there is no sedan chair at the palace gate to pick it up, so he took out the waist card from his sleeve and showed it to the guards at the palace gate, and then he was let into the palace gate.

The imperial palace of the previous countries is called 'Taihang Palace', and the gate that Xi He entered is the south gate 'Wanchao Gate'.

The vermilion door slowly opened, and the wind blew through the crack in the door, blowing the hair on the sideburns, and then I suddenly remembered that I forgot to pin the hairpin back.

"Sunset, my hairpin."

"Eh, it's all the slave and maid, I forgot it."

Xiyue hurriedly took out a hairpin from her sleeve, and carefully pinned the broken hair of Xi and her sideburns.

At this hour, His Majesty should have just come down to the court to approve the folds in the Wolong Palace, so it is naturally inconvenient to disturb.

Today is not to find Your Majesty, it is said that the matter of giving marriage is a matchmaking for the pure concubine, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the matter of withdrawing from the marriage should also be discussed with the pure concubine.

Walk forward from the Wanchao Gate, turn left is the Imperial Garden, and go left from the Imperial Garden, which is the 'Yixiang Palace' of the pure concubine.

It's easy to say, but it's difficult to walk.

Although the summer morning is not as hot as the noon sun, I still sweat a little when I walk under the sun.

Walk for a while and stop for a while, when I arrived at the Imperial Garden, I saw a gazebo in front of me, Xi He stepped forward quickly, wanting to take a break and rest.

After walking so far, not a single palace person saw it, Xihe took out the handkerchief around his waist and wiped his sweat.

There were people in the pavilion standing with their hands in their hands, and when they got closer, they saw that it was the four princes.

Li Yuanche heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Princess Xi and the hot flushed face.

"Yuan Che has seen Princess Xi He."

"I've seen the Fourth Highness."

I didn't want to meet here, so the two of them saluted in a proper manner, and after a while, a palace person served a cup of tea.

Xihe hesitated.

"Princess, this tea is clean."

Li Yuanche's natural way Xi and doubts in his heart.

"I'm ashamed to say that since the incident with the antlers platform that day, I don't believe in this palace, and the Fourth Highness is not strange."

"Yuan Che understands what the princess thinks, this is the best dragon well before the rain, the water for making tea is the snow on the plum blossoms in winter, I let the green lotus save two big men, it is the most suitable to make tea in summer, the princess may wish to try it."

Xihe picked up the teacup on the table with his right hand, skimmed the tea leaves with the lid and smelled it.

"Well, it smells like this year's new tea, and you can smell the faint aroma of plum blossoms while being fresh, and it's really an excellent tea."

Take a shallow sip, the new tea is not as mellow as the old tea, but it has a sense of freshness.

"What happened to the princess entering the palace today?"

"It's not a big deal."

Xihe put the teacup on the table, casually picked up a plum and threw it into his mouth, and his sore teeth immediately fought.

"His Royal Highness still loves this salted plum, I am not blessed, but Sisi, I eat a lot of meat, and I need this plum to dissipate, I don't know if I can ask His Highness for some to take away."

"Of course, the county lord loves to eat, and this plum is a blessing" Li Yuanche glanced at the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch respectfully retreated to wrap the plums.

"The princess wants to go and meet the concubine?"

"Exactly."

"Coincidentally, the concubine is not empty at this time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Xiao Cairen is imprisoned in Luoying Palace, and the noble concubine should be in Luoying Palace at this hour every day."

"What is she doing in Luoying Palace?"

"Naturally, it's going to fall into the well."

Li Yuanche held a folding fan in his hand and held it on his chest.

Xihe also stood up and walked to Li Yuanche's side.

"This peony flower is a new variety cultivated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this flower is really good-looking, the previous varieties have been compared, this imperial garden can not be seen everywhere, but how bright and moving this peony blooms is also a day after all, we will not go up to spoil the day, maybe when, the palace will put out the peony before."

Xihe grabbed one casually, picked the petals and filled the sachet on his waist.

The little eunuch went and returned, holding a candied fruit wrapped in oiled paper in his hand and handing it to Ke Xiyue.

"Your Royal Highness, I'll go first."

"Princess, walk slowly."

Li Yuanche bent down slightly.

Xi took his clothes, turned around, and left with Xiyue.

Meow –

Out of the flowers came a white kitten, the kitten was pure white, but its eyes were different.

"Come on!"

Li Yuanche held the kitten on his lap and stroked it gently.

"Where did you roll around and get this dirty."

Gently pluck the acacia flowers that are stained in the bean hair.

There is only one place in the palace where an acacia tree is planted.

There are no hundred days of red flowers, and His Majesty Hehuan, who once fell in the Ying Palace, likes it the most, but when did the palace start to be full of peonies?

"Xiao Chang'an, your mother is asking me to help Xiao Cairen. She understands the principle of checks and balances, why doesn't Your Majesty understand, if Your Majesty lets her out, it's better for me to sell one, isn't it Xiao Chang'an? ”

Li Yuanche shook the little paw of the bean, as if to say to it, and seemed to talk to himself.

Douzi broke free of Li Yuanche's hand, deftly jumped onto the round table and yawned, and closed his eyes in a ball.
