It felt uncomfortable to be stared at.

I felt that I was not a person, but a piece of meat, and I was being weighed by these people, and they were thinking about how to eat her.

Staying with these people again, Liu Yan was afraid that he couldn't help but flip the table.

The table in Yilan Hall can't be lifted, so she can only come out by herself.

Gui Yuan fastened the cloak for her, and said softly: "It's really stuffy inside, so many people are wearing fat powder and oil, and the incense on their bodies, the slaves and maids feel that this nose is about to be smoked." ”

It's sunny outside, blue, and it's rare to see such a sunny day in winter.

The winter sun is not dazzling, and it shines slightly warm on the face.

All the leaves that should have fallen have fallen, and those that do not fall are still green.

Liu Yan didn't actually go far, she was standing outside the palace wall of Yilan Palace, separated by a wall, the hustle and bustle in the wall and the lonely emptiness outside the wall seemed to be two completely different worlds.

"Princess, shall we go back first?"

Liu Yan thought for a while: "I don't have anything to do when I go back." "There is no one to accompany you, and it is not interesting to stay alone in Anhe Palace.

Dou Tang answered smartly: "No, it's half a day away from lunch, where does the princess want to go?" I heard that the conservatory on the north side of the Imperial Garden grows camellias and peonies that bloom in winter, do you want to go and enjoy the flowers? ”

Liu Yan's head shook like a wave drum.

Maybe because there have been too many invitations to enjoy flowers with ulterior motives recently, she just wants to shake her head when she hears the word flower viewing now.

Doutang immediately changed his proposal: "I heard that a palace opera was arranged this afternoon, and eighty percent of the people in the Music Department have already set up the stage at this time, do you want to go there to see it?" ”

Dou Tang originally thought that this proposal was nine out of ten, after all, palace opera is not usually something that can be watched if you want to watch it, even if the princess wants to listen to it, at most two or three people will be called to sing a fold, and she will not set up a stage just for her, and the music department will not go out to make the princess happy.

Liu Yan still shook his head.

"Well, I heard that there are two big parrots in Xiyuan, and they can talk a lot."

Liu Yan himself said: "Xiyuan is too far, go to Jinxiu Pavilion to find a book to read." ”

The bean soup hurriedly responded: "Yes." "I'm going to pass the walk.

"It's not far, just walk over."

As soon as she passed the word, it was inevitable that the teacher would move the crowd, and let people know that she had slipped away.

Longan actually didn't agree.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the princess going to the Splendid Pavilion, but - Ozu was originally on an errand in the Splendid Pavilion, and later returned to the Splendid Pavilion when he became seriously ill and died there.

The princess hasn't been to the Splendid Pavilion for a long time, and I'm afraid it's because of this that she has a pimple in her heart.

If you want to change to usual, you will go, but now that the New Year is a good day, it is inevitable to think of unhappy things when you go there, and it is a little unlucky.

Gui Yuan persuaded: "Princess, it's rare to have leisure these days during the New Year, and if you are tired of writing and studying, the princess should also take a good rest." ”

"It doesn't matter, just go around."

Longan is not easy to persuade anymore.

The Splendid Pavilion is colder and quieter than the other places. It's like this all year round, and very few people come here. In order to prevent fire, there are no trees planted here in the Splendid Pavilion, and it is empty.

The eunuch who greeted him was born, Liu Yan had never seen it before.

"Isn't Grandpa Hu on an errand here?"

"Father-in-law Hu is not in good health, a while ago he was even more sick and couldn't get up, he really couldn't support the errand, last month he was a little sick, so he invited himself back to his hometown to care for the elderly, and Father-in-law Li was generous, and he was allowed to leave the palace."

"Really?" Liu Yan didn't mean to ask, so he just asked this sentence.

Gui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay if the surname Hu is not there, otherwise the princess will inevitably mention Ozu when he sees him.

An old eunuch like this actually has nowhere to go when he leaves the palace, saying that he is returning to his hometown, but he usually does not really go back. In the final analysis, eunuchs are even more cheap than palace maids, and people who can struggle to survive will never send their children to be eunuchs. Eunuchs generally have no relatives outside the palace, and they are physically disabled, even if they return to their hometowns, they can't enter the ancestral graves, and they don't have the face to see their ancestors when they die.

If you have some savings in your hand, you can still live a peaceful birthday for two years after leaving the palace, and find someone to handle the aftermath. Most of those who don't have money in their hands die of old age.

The Splendid Pavilion is extremely quiet, and the new books will soon become the same smell as the old books, old, quiet, as if frozen time.

Liu Yan stood at the door and was slightly distracted.

There was a low table by the door, and a thin little eunuch knelt beside it, probably because he was panicked at first sight, and he was clutching a brush to sweep the ashes.

Gui Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart, and after a closer look, he realized that it was not Ozu.

It may be about the same age, but this little eunuch has narrow shoulders and is very thin.

Liu Yan walked closer, stretched out his hand and turned the book over to look at the cover: "Is this tinkering?" ”

The little eunuch stammered and couldn't say a whole sentence, but the person on the side replied for him: "These books have been stored for a long time, and some of them have worms, so they have to be cleaned up." ”

Liu Yan nodded: "Today's New Year...... You too can rest. ”

Gui Yuan hung his head.

The princess must have remembered Ozu.

Although Ozu has gone, Gui Yuan sometimes has an illusion that he is still there.

Every time the princess was writing, painting, or reading, Gui Yuan always felt that there was still such a person standing there in the study, as if he could still see him when he turned his head.

Maybe the princess feels this way too.

Sometimes, the princess would stop in the middle of writing, sit there in a daze, and only after a while would she re-dip herself in ink and continue to write backwards.

Liu Yan took two books at random, and then ordered the people on duty in the Splendid Pavilion today to reward each person with an extra month's monthly allowance, and add two more dishes to them at noon.

The reward is reasonable, neither too much nor too little.

Slaves and maids elsewhere always have to get more rewards for the New Year, but the Splendid Pavilion is too remote, and the good things that are rewarded are always not their turn. If the princess gives too much, others will inevitably look sideways. Besides, if you really give too much, the people of the Splendid Pavilion will not stutter, and the reward may not really fall into their own hands.

It's just a month's worth of rewards, plus two dishes, which are neither thin nor thick, so it's the New Year, adding some festivity.

However, after coming out of the Splendid Pavilion, a eunuch came over panting, saying that the queen mother asked her to find the princess.

"It's not yet lunch," Gui Yuan asked the princess, "What is the reason why Niangniang is looking for our princess now?" ”

She asked, and the eunuch who came to look for someone didn't dare not answer, but to be honest, he was just an errand runner, and he couldn't say why: "It was ordered by Sister Yingluo, and she only said that if she saw the princess, please ask the princess to come over quickly, and I don't know why the slave and maid are there." ”

Empress Cao should know that Liu Yan came out to hide, and she shouldn't let people come to look for her if she has nothing to do.
