Chapter 565: The Old Man

A few days later, Lu Yi's letter was even more funny, with a peach blossom between the two pages of letterhead.

It can be seen that the peach blossoms have only been picked for a long time, they should have been carefully flattened, sandwiched in the letter, the petals have not withered, and there is a little faint fragrance on them.

Liu Yan was reluctant to remove the peach petals from the letter paper - it would not be a complete flower, and the petals would be damaged.

Liu Yan pressed the peach blossom into the book, and she thought that maybe the flower could be made into a bookmark.

Speaking of making bookmarks...... In the past, Ozu was the best at this, and sometimes he was careful and made people think he was more like a girl.

He will use flowers and plants to make bookmarks, be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and compose poems.

Liu Yan occasionally has a little trance, and when she sits in the study, she often feels that there is another person waiting silently to accompany her.

It's just that when I look back, I can't see anyone anymore.

No one in Anhe Palace mentioned him, which was a common thing in the palace. The people who have already gone, especially the eunuchs and palace people, are so cheap that they are not worth mentioning. The old is gone, and the new is coming again, just like the flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, blooming and thanking again and again.

"Princess?" Longan brought the tea and handed it over: "The princess wants to write?" Let the lotus seeds grind the ink, right? ”

"No, put the paper away."

Gui Yuan lightly packed up the paper and books.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Gui Yuan also remembered the little eunuch who used to be on duty in the study.

When Ozu was there, Guiyuan didn't like him very much.

Gui Yuan felt at the time that it was because Ozu was from outside, and he overwhelmed them as soon as he came, and he was too arrogant and couldn't be a man. Moreover, Gui Yuan couldn't see through what he was thinking.

It wasn't until a long time after Ozu's death that Guiyuan understood a little, and although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed a little jealous of him at the time.

They are all slaves, but Ozu doesn't look like a slave at all. He's so talentedβ€”

Gui Yuan remembers that once she came to the study to fetch a book for the princess, and saw Ozu sitting on the stone steps outside the door of the study, with a book lying horizontally on his lap, and he was holding one hand on the book, looking at the bamboo planted in the courtyard.

That handsome appearance and quiet expression made Gui Yuan lose his mind for a moment.

This person really doesn't look like a subordinate, and Gui Yuan has never seen a eunuch with the same posture and temperament as him.

It's a pity.

It's a pity that he died. But Gui Yuan felt that this seemed inevitable.

He's too good for others to tolerate him.

He didn't look like a eunuch in the first place, he stayed in the palace, doing errands to serve people, a year, ten years? What's the point of a few decades like this?

That person was born in the wrong place and came to the wrong place, so he left early, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

The princess probably thought the same way.

In the afternoon, the princess rested, and Gui Yuan asked him to bring the bean soup to him and ask him about it.

"Why is it that at this time, the princess's mansion has not moved?"

According to the old practice of the previous princesses, the princess's mansion should have chosen a place a long time ago, and then began to plan and repair. The emperor is not a person who likes to be extravagant and profligate, and the princes and princesses did not build new mansions when they got married, but directly used those mansions left by the previous dynasty to repair and renovate them. The fourth princess should be no exception this time.

If you really want to build a princess mansion from scratch, I'm afraid it won't be able to build it in a year or two. Even if you choose a house to repair and restructure, it will take at least half a year, right? If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will delay the princess's big event.

Doutang smiled bitterly: "My good sister, can I not care about such a big thing?" But this matter was stuck in the emperor's place, and the emperor was not satisfied with the few mansions that were picked out. ”

"How dare they be so perfunctory?"

Doutang hurriedly said: "No, no, where do they dare, no one dares to perfunctory our princess." I have inquired, in fact, the houses are good, better than the houses selected by the third princess and the fifth princess, the construction time is not long, and the house is not old at all. Spacious and generous, nothing was wrong with it. ”

Gui Yuan asked, "Then how can the emperor be dissatisfied?" ”

The bean soup spread his hands: "The emperor values our princess, and he can find fault with those houses." Either the location is not good, or the place is not big enough, and everyone can find faults. He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I was thinking that the emperor was reluctant to marry his daughter. ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Although Gui Yuan didn't let the bean soup talk nonsense, she thought so herself.

The emperor is reluctant to marry the princess out of the palace, so when he sees these houses, he doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he will find fault with it first.

But the wedding date has been set, and this matter can't be delayed forever.

Dou Tang smiled and said: "Let's not be in a hurry here, anyway, the emperor and the mother are both sage, and they must know better than us." ”

That's just as well.

Most of the emperor is also impulsive, and he can't keep being angry.

The bean soup looked at Longan and seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated a little and didn't speak.

"Sister Guiyuan still has something to order?"

"It's not a command." Gui Yuan hesitated slightly: "Do you remember Ozu?" ”

The bean soup was also stunned.

This person...... It's not easy to forget.

"Remember, why did you mention him?"

"It's nothing," said Guiyuan, "I just remembered it by accident...... It's a pity that he's a man. ”

Doutang also said: "It's a pity." ”

"I remember that he is a relative of Eunuch Hu over there in the Library Pavilion, do you recognize that Eunuch Hu?"

"I know, I've seen it more than once."

"Is Eunuch Hu still on an errand in the Library Pavilion?"

Doutang said, "I heard that he is out of the palace." ”

"Out of the palace?"

Gui Yuan remembered that eunuch Hu...... Forty, right? However, the work is light and well-maintained, and he looks like he is in his thirties, this age cannot be regarded as young, but it cannot be regarded as old, and there is no reason to be sent out of the palace now.

"I went back to the palace and released a group of people, and he seems to have returned to his hometown." The library is a secluded and unpopular place, and most people don't care about it. The news of the bean soup is wider than that of ordinary people, and because of the previous Ozu incident, he and Eunuch Hu are also acquaintances, otherwise he would not have paid attention to remembering this news.

"Maybe I'm not in good health," Doutang didn't inquire much at the time, after all, he didn't have much friendship with Eunuch Hu, and he usually had no contact: "If my sister wants to ask, I'll find someone to inquire." ”

Gui Yuan said, "It's okay, I'll just ask." ”

She is not familiar with Eunuch Hu, it doesn't matter to her whether she returns to her hometown to retire or not, Gui Yuan can't bother with this person.

She's got a lot to do.

Speaking of the princess's mansion, Lu Yi also told Liu Yan about it.

He and Liu Yan are not blind marriages, the two are quite familiar, what kind of style Liu Yan likes, Lu Yi has a rough idea in his heart.
