Chapter 52: The Backyard
"July 15 is the birthday of King Dingnan, and I may stay until that day, so you can stay here with peace of mind for this half month." Tian Qi ignored the salivating wolf light of the girl in front of him, said with a wooden face, and then muttered for a while before adding, "I will arrange for you to go back afterwards." ”
"Okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Tang Lu'er came back to her senses, subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, hehe, and then remembered her purpose for entering the palace. So I thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but say tentatively: "By the way, during the day in the Phoenix Terrace, it's the first time I've seen that kind of incense fight, has Brother Seven seen such a grand event before, I don't know how many days the fight incense will last?" I heard that today's most eye-catching incense products are made of spices such as natural treasures, and I don't know what novelty will be able to surpass next. ”
Tian Qi glanced at her, his eyes were faint, he didn't say anything, but that look always made people feel as if he knew everything. Tang Lu'er was inexplicably weak in her heart when she was stared at by this gaze, so the expression on her face became more and more innocent, thinking that anyway, she didn't mention the blood vine flower just now, he just suspected that he couldn't suspect anything.
"There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, not necessarily safe, these days, you remember to be more careful." Tian Qi ignored her words, gave an instruction, and was about to turn around and leave. Tang Lu'er was in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve and said, "Eh, Seventh Brother, you are leaving!" ”
Because there was still a railing between the two, Tang Luer couldn't cross it for a while, so the action of pulling someone's sleeve was a little too strong, so she pulled this time, didn't pull the person over, but knocked herself over with her head and face. Fortunately, Tian Qi reacted quickly enough, and as soon as he raised his palm, he pressed against her head and stabilized her action of pounce.
"You." Tian Qiyi sighed, "It's too late, it's not appropriate for me to stay here for too long, if you have anything, go to the retreat garden to find me after dawn." ”
After he finished speaking, he left, Tang Lu'er could only look at the back that was getting farther and farther away, and he didn't know what he came here for, could it be just to come and see her? Belch...... Not really, tsk, one by one they are mysterious, not tired!
Tang Lu'er sighed, then looked up at the sky, at a forty-five degree angle.
You can't rashly inquire about the blood vine flower, this is what Mrs. Tang specially passed to her, but it made her feel more and more confused. Since there are people who can use the blood vine flower to make incense, although they don't publicize it with great fanfare, she doesn't see anyone who shy away from it, but why can't she inquire about this thing?
It's not too much to be curious about such a rare thing, or is there something unsightly hidden here?
Tang Lu'er scratched her head, slowly recalling the scene when she was in Phoenix Terrace during the day, but after thinking about it for a while, not only did she not figure out why, but she was smoky and fell asleep by the cool night breeze.
However, if there is anything abnormal, it is that the powerful people who participated in the Phoenix Terrace Douxiang Meeting during the day do not seem to know much about the Blood Vine Flower, and only a few have heard of its name. And it's all because the blood vine flower in the Dingnan Palace's mansion has been coveted, but in the end it was not stolen, so I heard about it, in fact, most people have never even heard of its name before. And the perfumer named Fang Zheng, when he communicated with everyone at that time, did not focus on the effect of the blood vine flower, but only brought it in a few sentences, and now in retrospect, he seemed to have deliberately avoided it at that time.
But it doesn't mean anything, and it's not surprising that something is rare and not known to the world; And it is normal for people who know not to want others to know more than themselves.
Grandma, grandma, you are a Shenma person, you are hiding it, the palace is so big, I saw a lot of guards on the way in the afternoon, you can do it!
Early the next morning, after Tang Lu'er got up, Feiyan served her to wash her face, comb her hair, get dressed, and led the two little maids to bring her a plate of abalone snail wrapped in honey, a plate of two-color fragrant lotus root, a plate of plum shortbread, a plate of amber honey, a bowl of black plum cheese noodles, and a cage of crab roe xiaolongbao, which was full of tables. And as soon as I sat down, there was a maid next to me who first held a warm rose tea, and then a maid handed a towel that was hot, cold, dry and wet. Two or three maids served her from beginning to end After eating this exquisite breakfast, they not only cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but also washed their hands and rinsed their mouths.
This morning, Tang Lu'er was so moved that she was full of inner cows, isn't this what she always thought she should really live after crossing over! It's not easy, the great god of crossing has finally begun to notice her!
It's just that this good thing came a little suddenly, and it made her, a dirt bun, a little indigestion both physically and psychologically.
Tang Lu'er touched her stomach that was a little bulging, stood up and walked a few steps in the house, then asked Feiyan casually, Mrs. Liu took such good care of her, did she need to go over and say thank you?
Feiyan only smiled: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, Mrs. Liu said, she has been feeling a little unwell in the past few days, and she will come to see the girl in person in two days." ”
Another person who was still holding the pipa and half covering his face, Tang Lu'er quietly burped, and if he was not careful, he would eat too much, so he had to take a walk to digest it, so he just went to the retreat garden now to take a look.
After coming out of the Jade Pavilion and walking with Feiyan for a long time, Tang Lu'er realized that the location of the Jade Pavilion was not ordinary. It is estimated that when Mrs. Liu lived in Cuiyuxuan before, she was not very favored, but now she is not only promoted, but also takes care of the arrangement of guests in the palace, and she is also a woman with means. It's just that the other party hasn't shown up for a long time, and it seems to be a bit mysterious, and I don't know what's in it.
Tang Lu'er walked and pondered while enjoying the beautiful scenery in this palace.
It is now a summer day with lush flowers and plants, and the king of Dingnan has always been a lover of flowers, so along the way, what Tang Luer saw, in addition to the exquisite layout of landscapes, bamboos, halls, pavilions and bridges, is the purple and red flowers. Not to mention the flower beds on both sides of the road, even in the stone crevices at some corners, you can see a few unknown flowers emerging from them, and there are several butterflies dancing around, which is so lively that people are dazzled.
After looking at so many flowers, a thought suddenly occurred in her heart, in this flowery palace, someone must take care of these flowers and plants...... It's just that as soon as this thought appeared, it was cut off by Tang Lu'er, unless she really wanted to find death, she still had to stay obediently, her few catties and taels were not enough for others to give a look.
After bypassing several rockeries, passing through the cave gate for several months, and crossing a stone arch bridge, I suddenly ran into a beautiful woman who walked out of it with an angry face. I saw that the other party was wearing a long dress with a hundred birds and phoenix patterns, a smoky red tulle shawl on his shoulders, a spiritual snake bun on his head, a golden step in his hair, a bright moon pearl in his ears, and a large silk flower that had been deformed and almost fake in his hand.
After "Mrs. Wen" looked at this beauty, Feiyan hurriedly stopped and bowed her knees.
Na Liren was stunned, and when she saw that it was Feiyan, the anger in her eyes became even stronger, but when she was about to smash the fake flower in her hand on Feiyan's face to vent her anger, she suddenly saw Tang Lu'er following Feiyan.
"Who brought it?" Mrs. Wen raised the corners of her eyes, and she spoke with a bit of domineering.
"Mrs. Huiwen, this is Miss Tang, who entered the mansion yesterday." Feiyan said softly, but she was a little worried when she spoke, she didn't expect to meet Mrs. Wen here, she knew that she had just taken a detour. In the backyard of this palace, except for Princess Dingnan, Mrs. Wen's status is the highest. But he never thought that a few years after Liu Xiuyuan left, as soon as she came back, she was put on the position of lady by the prince, and she was listed as the left and right wife of the king of Dingnan along with Mrs. Wen. This incident not only caused an uproar in this backyard, but also directly caused Mrs. Wen's jealousy. Some time ago, the subordinates who followed Mrs. Liu were not less troubled by the people around Mrs. Wen, but now they directly ran into Mrs. Wen, and they didn't know what would happen to the other party.
"Oh, it's that prince who takes a fancy to the girl outside, hmph, it's really intentional, before the prince has spoken, she hurriedly arranged someone to take over her place in Cuiyuxuan, it's really virtuous and virtuous!" As she spoke, Mrs. Wen pushed Feiyan away, and then looked Tang Lu'er up and down several times.
When Tang Lu'er heard that, she was suddenly a little dumbfounded, what did this woman just say?
"Since you're here, let's come in, it just so happens that the sisters are comparing flowers, and let me see what you are capable of." After Mrs. Wen looked at Tang Lu'er, she suppressed the anger in her heart and gave an order, and then she couldn't help whether Tang Lu'er and Feiyan were willing or not, so she motioned to the grandmothers who followed her to come forward and ask for someone.
