Chapter 251: Sycamore

"Actually, this matter is not as important as you think, who cares so much about the identity of the third princess?" After a pause, Li Shanggong continued: "Actually, it is you who cares most about the identity of the third princess. ”

Li Shanggong is actually not the first time to persuade her.

But never before has it been said so clearly.

After all, not everyone likes to hear the truth, and many times people see through it but don't say it, and it's rare to be confused.

"After several princesses were placed in Dongyuan, the queen chose Shang Gong to take care of her, in fact, at that time, the palace was also in ruins, and the number of people in Shang Palace was not large, you may not be able to compete with me, why did you go to the position next to the third princess as soon as you came up?"

Chen Shanggong was speechless when asked.

"You didn't think you could compete in the first place? So pick an easy spot to run to? ”

Chen Shanggong didn't speak, but his expression was very clear and he could see that Li Shanggong was right.

"I'm afraid of offending people, I'm afraid of being anxious with others, I'm afraid of others holding grudges, but in this world, unless I don't do anything, someone will definitely hold a grudge. If you just want to hide, you can't hide, and others won't be soft because you dodge. Besides, the third princess herself is not afraid, but you are always afraid of this and that, after a long time, I am afraid that you will gradually become separated from the princess. ”

Chen Shanggong was shocked.

She relies on the third princess, and if the third princess doesn't wait to see her, her position will be replaced at any time.

"The third princess is going to get married soon, how you go in the future, you can see for yourself." Li Shanggong can persuade her, but he can't live for her. If Chen Shanggong can't figure it out, then she will definitely have a crying day in the future.

Chen Shanggong was in a hurry when he came, but when he left, his steps were staggering, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

Li Shanggong held on to the pillar and watched her go away, the palace road under the scorching sun was empty, and the stone slabs reflected the sunlight and pierced people's eyes.

Turning around, Li Shanggong listened to Gui Yuan say that the princess had gone out.

"At this time?" Li Shanggong asked: "Did the princess go to Yilan Palace?" ”

Gui Yuan shook his head: "The princess has gone to Wutong Garden." ”

Li Shanggong was a little worried: "Could it be that the princess's homework has gone wrong again?" ”

Liu Yan's homework didn't go wrong, she actually borrowed Mr. Cheng as a cover.

She wants to go out, and Gui Yuan must ask, so she has to say where to go.

So she said to go to Mr. Cheng's.

Because compared to other places, Wutong Garden is farther away.

You can stay outside a little longer.

Ginkgo followed the princess closely, and seeing that there was no palace wall eaves tile to shade the sun when she got out of the Fuhua Gate, she hurriedly propped up the silk umbrella to cover the princess's head.

She didn't dare to say much, remembering what Gui Yuan had taught her. If you don't know if you can get to the point, you can just keep your mouth shut.

Liu Yan raised his head, the cover of the silk umbrella was painted with a peony, when the umbrella was opened, the peony suddenly bloomed, and the red flower was golden, which was particularly rich and bright. Illuminated by the sun, this peony seems to come to life.

An umbrella shadow on the ground covered the figure and slowly moved forward.

The East Garden is a large place, with few people, and there are even fewer people in the afternoon. Ginkgo also saw it, the princess said that she was going to Wutong Garden, but in fact, most of them came out to walk around and relax.

It's just that this time for distraction is a little strange. The sun was shining overhead, and it was hot, and the flowers and trees in the garden were wilting, and there was nothing to see.

If you want to relax, it's better to come in the morning, or in the evening.

Compared with longan, Ginkgo is not as thoughtful and capable as Longan, and sometimes she is a little irritable, but she is also obedient, unlike Guiyuan, who always thinks about persuading "the princess can't be like this" and "the princess can't be like that". Just like now, when the princess walks in the garden with the sun on her back, she follows.

But Ginkgo biloba still has to say what should be said.

"Princess, go out from this corner gate, close to Wutong Garden, let's go over?"

Liu Yan stopped.

Although she said that she lived in Dongyuan, the Dongyuan place was so big, she really hadn't visited it all. For example, she didn't know that there was a shortcut to the Sycamore Garden.

Yin Xing whispered: "Princess, your foot injury is good, it's not short when we come out, if your foot hurts again when you turn around, won't you have to be nagged by Imperial Doctor Feng again?" ”

"At this time, Mr. Cheng is eighty percent asleep, right?"

Ginkgo smiled and said, "It shouldn't be, let's go and take a look, if Mr. Cheng is not free, let's rest and drink a cup of tea and leave." ”

There are two words in the Sycamore Garden, and the natural sycamore trees are indispensable. I don't know how many years these trees have grown, and the canopy is like a big umbrella, blocking the sun tightly. As soon as I walked into the shade of the tree from outside, I suddenly felt a chill in my face.

There is also a small pond in the Sycamore Garden, and you can smell the faint fragrance of aquatic flowers from afar.

Dou Tang hurriedly followed, and his voice unconsciously lowered in such a quiet place: "Princess, the slave maid should go and report first." ”

"No need, if Mr. Cheng is still sleeping, isn't it disturbing people's dreams when you go like this? Let's rest and go. ”

Ginkgo helped Liu Yan to sit down on the stone bench by the pond, the wind blew the dense sycamore leaves above his head, and Ginkgo said sincerely: "Mr. Cheng is really quiet here." ”

But if she wants to choose Ginkgo, she definitely doesn't like to live in a place like Wutong Garden. It's so deserted in the middle of the day, wait for the sun to go down, and wait until the evening, what kind of deserted place will it be? In addition to Mr. Cheng, there are only a few people who serve in Wutong Yuan, and they don't do anything at all. At night, it was as quiet as a cemetery, and when the wind blew again, the leaves of the trees in the courtyard sounded...... If she lived here, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

The bean soup came out quickly: "Princess, Mr. Cheng is painting, please go in and have tea." ”

Liu Yan didn't plan to go in, but now that he has come, and Mr. Cheng knows about it, he can't pass through the door.

Mr. Cheng is indeed painting, and the scenery in the courtyard outside the window is painted. The courtyard was deep and empty, and the palace walls and cornices behind the shade of the trees were as far away as a mountain.

When Liu Yan came in, Mr. Cheng was almost finished painting, put down his pen and washed his hands, and Moyun came in with two cups of tea.

This tea is also light blue, I don't know if it's really so green with tea, or if it is dyed green by the sycamores all over the yard.

"Why did the princess come here at this time?" Mr. Cheng asked, "But what's the matter?" ”

Liu Yan shook his head and smelled the smell of tea, which was a little teay, but even stronger was the fragrance of lotus leaves, and it was a little sweet and silky when he tasted it.

"When I went out for a walk, I came to Mr. before I knew it, and I wanted to take a break and beg for tea by the way."

Mr. Cheng smiled and quietly drank tea.

Liu Yan remembered something, and took advantage of the fact that he was free at this time, and there was no one in front of him, so he asked.

"Mr. Cheng, when the fifth princess was grounded, were you the one who sent her food and clothes?"
