Chapter III

Wen Yang slept in the palace all night yesterday, but he didn't sleep comfortably and steadily.

Although the things in the palace are of course the best, in her heart, the moire gold silk quilt is not as good as the fragrant flower quilt made by Aunt He at home. She couldn't sleep tossing and turning, and her father went back alone, and the thought that she was going to stay here alone for seven days made her feel very uncomfortable.

She really couldn't calm down, and the unfamiliar environment made her feel uneasy.

It's okay, it's okay, it's only seven days, and I can still see my eldest sister, and it's gone soon......

She comforted herself over and over again, calming herself down, but she still felt a little irritable.

The candles in the dormitory are dazzling, and they still feel dazzling even after extinguishing the two.

In the second half of the night, the palace maid saw that she hadn't slept yet, so she lit a soothing incense, and she gradually fell asleep with sleepiness.

The next morning, Wen Yang heard the palace maids whispering, and quietly approached for a day to realize that it was snowing heavily last night, and Concubine Rong accidentally suffered from the cold, and the emperor punished a few people who were waiting in a fit of anger.

The emperor's love for Concubine Rong is something that everyone in the palace knows. I heard that the concubine had only been in the palace for a year, and the emperor promoted her from Jiazi to concubine despite the obstruction of the queen mother and the empress dowager, and was promoted to concubine when she had just given birth to a princess and gave her a title.

One of the palace maids whispered, "Tsk! What is a thousand pampered in one! How can we have that life! ”

Wen Yang listened on the sidelines as if he didn't understand.

Forget it, what does it have to do with yourself?

The palace maid was ordered to dress her up, but the palace maid talked a lot, and she praised Wenyang for being good-looking. Wen Yang was born white, but she didn't pay attention to those, she just used a white jade hairpin to roll up her hair on weekdays, and her face was not powdered, and her appearance was pure and cute. But after the palace maids surrounded her and dressed her carefully, she looked even more delicate like a villain on a painting screen.

The palace maid exclaimed, "The girl is really good-looking, and her eyebrows and eyes are really similar to the crown princess." I wonder how old the girl is this year? ”

Wen Yang smiled and replied, "Just turned 16." ”

A jasper gold hairpin was pulled into her bun, and the palace maid had a smile on her face, and continued, "I remember that the crown princess was married to the prince at the same age as a girl, and I happened to enter the palace that year, and I was honored to serve the princess for a while, but I didn't expect to have this opportunity to serve the princess's sister today." ”

The meaning of these words is too obvious, but she is the younger sister of the crown princess, and she wants to take this opportunity to be courteous. Although Wen Yang is simple, she is no less intelligent than her sister. She just smiled and said nothing more.

The palace maid saw that she didn't buy it, so she could only laugh and laugh.

She was happy in her heart, thinking that she could go to the eldest sister after finishing it, but she didn't expect that before she stepped out of the palace, someone came to spread the news that the princess had something to do, and it was inconvenient to accompany her.

It's frustrating, but if you think about it, Yang can understand it.

Fortunately, Wen Jin also thought that Wen Yang might find it boring alone, so he called her little father-in-law, who was about the same age as her, to lead her around the palace.

At the moment, she can't see the eldest sister, but if she has the opportunity to see this imperial city, she is also willing, so she gladly accepts.

The little father-in-law led her to see many places along the way, from the Thousand Carp Pond to the Rite Hall, and from the Red Leaf Building to the Circular Corridor......

When I walked to the Ten Thousand Gardens, I saw those flowers blooming as brilliantly as spring flowers.

She had never known that the flowers in the Winter Palace could bloom so well. She has always had little understanding of flowers and plants, and thought that this little father-in-law could explain more to her, but this little father-in-law didn't say anything else from beginning to end, only knew to say something like "girl be careful of the steps" and "girl pay attention to her feet", which was really boring, and made her want to see the scenery all gone.

"Little father-in-law...... "What kind of flowers are they?" she asked, pointing to the clump of red flowers that were blooming just right?" Why does it bloom so well in winter? ”

The little father-in-law lowered his head and looked embarrassed.

"This ...... This...... Minion...... I don't know...... Presumably...... Be...... Be...... The Son of Heaven is near...... The earth is thick...... Probably ......"

She looked at the little father-in-law in front of her, who was taller than her but had his head down, and his embarrassed appearance was so cute that she couldn't help but tease him.

"My little father-in-law is so cute!"

As soon as he heard it, where could he resist such praise, and after staying in the palace for a long time, he felt that every seemingly simple word was something in the words, and his legs were numb and shaking, and he didn't know what to do.

"The minion knows his mistake!"

She laughed out loud and quipped, "Why can't you even talk properly?" Could it be that you have a stutter? ”

His face turned even redder when he heard this, and he waved his hand in embarrassment, "No...... No...... I...... It's just that...... Just ......"

Wen Yang understood everything, so he explained to him, "I'm just teasing you, don't be nervous, but it's not fun to hang out like this, why don't you take me to the most fun place in the palace?" ”

He thought about it carefully, what is interesting and fun? …… The days in the palace are just day after day, where is the fun?

But...... He remembered his favorite place to go in his free time, and he thought it was funny, and he didn't know what others thought, but he agreed.

He led her away, and the two of them walked through several long corridors, passing by several long streets of palace gates, the road became more and more remote, and even became cold, and the people became more and more scarce, until in the end only the two of them were left. It took a while to walk along this long street before I came to the so-called "fun place".

The little father-in-law stood in front of a palace door and pushed open the vermilion palace door, which was beginning to fade a little.

"Where is this?" Wen Yang asked.

The courtyard in front of him was incompatible with the rest of the palace, and a palace gate separated the rest of the palace. It's like an ordinary person's yard, and there are many flowers and plants in the yard that can't be named, but winter is coming, and the flowers are dilapidated, which is completely different from the scene I saw before. Although it looks like a farmhouse yard, it still can't hide the desolate atmosphere.

The little father-in-law said, "Here...... Interesting place......"

Interesting? Where's the fun?

She didn't ask, and he led her into the house.

When I opened the door, I didn't expect that there were a wall full of medicine cabinets and a pair of tables and chairs in this room, and nothing else. The room should not be small, but the medicine cabinet takes up a large area, and there are tables and chairs, which makes it a little more crowded.

The air was filled with the smell of medicine, and the house was cleaned up.

She was very surprised, and wondered, why did this little father-in-law get so many medicinal herbs? What is the use of these herbs?

She could see that this medicine cabinet was not a new object for a long time, there were many thin cracks on it, but it was well protected, and each small cabinet was pasted with a note in red and black letters, and the names of medicinal herbs were written. Some cabinets don't have notes, but when you open them, you can see that they contain rolled books.

"Little father-in-law, are you making all these medicines?"

"Back girl, most of them are ...... made by me"

"You seem to ...... Very interested in medicinal herbs......"

The little father-in-law smiled and looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "It's just a hobby of mine......"

She asked, "But how did you get these things?" ”

Naturally, she said the medicine cabinets.

Is it allowed to be occupied by subordinates in the palace?

The little father-in-law bowed his head and was silent, he obviously couldn't answer the question.

Wen Yang smiled, "If you can't say it, don't say it." "There's no need to do things you don't like and say things you don't like in order to satisfy other people's curiosity.

"Thank you girl for understanding......"

She pulled out a book, sat down on the chair, and teased as she flipped through it, "Why did my little father-in-law bring me here?" I don't think many people can know about this 'interesting place', can you trust me so much, if I tell someone about this place secretly, you may be punished for it, won't you have to cry to death? ”

The little father-in-law also drew a book, sat down opposite her, and said unhurriedly: "I first met the girl, and people like me think that the girl is smart and simple, and when the girl asks me where the interesting place is, I can only think of this, but I never thought that the girl would tell anyone about this place......"

Wen Yang smiled, it is a rare thing to be trusted, and it is worth being happy. Looking at the little father-in-law in front of him who looked like a jade-faced child, she looked the same age as him, Wen Yang was more intelligent and clever, and he was more calm and calm.

She has a doubt from just now to now, seeing that he doesn't look like a eunuch serving people in the palace, but has a temperament that ordinary people don't have......

But there are some issues that are forbidden to a person and cannot be talked about arbitrarily.

"How old is the little father-in-law? What is your name? She asked.

He blushed and started again, and said at a loss: "I...... I ......"

It seems that he is not nervous when it comes to the things he likes, but when the girl asks about anything else, he is speechless.

"Your name is 'Gan Meng'?"

"Girl...... How do you know ......? ’

She pointed to his waist card, "I've seen it a long time ago!" "Isn't the waist card in the palace used to register the name in case others can't call it name?

The grade is different, and the material of the waist card is naturally different, there are ordinary wood, there are mahogany, there are ores, and there are also jade ...... The little father-in-law is made of red almond wood, and it seems that he is not an ordinary person, at least not an ordinary eunuch.

"My name is Wen Yang, if you have the fate to say goodbye in the future, you don't need to call me 'girl' anymore, I will also remember that your name is 'Gan Meng', and you don't need to call you your little father-in-law anymore!"

"This ...... ...... would offend the girl by being unruly."

She waved her hand, "No, no, it's that I'm not used to being called 'girl', we are friends, and there is not so much etiquette between friends." ”

Gan Meng was also very happy, "I can be with ...... Miss Wen Yang is a friend...... Gan Meng's three lives are fortunate. ”

"Huh? Get rid of the girl. ”

Wen ...... Yang......? He was not used to being called like this, but it was too late to be happy to be friends with such a delicate and intelligent and polite nobleman, and it was good to be straightforward and honest.

Gan Meng asked her, "Auntie...... How many days does Wen Yang want to stay in the palace? ”

"Seven days, last night I was bored with the tedious etiquette in the palace and couldn't sleep, although I wanted to see my eldest sister more, but I thought that I would stay here for seven days, as long as a year, but today I know Gan Meng, I feel that seven days is not enough."

Gan Mengdao, "The crown princess seems to be busy these days, maybe...... Can't be idle......"

"But if Wen Yang doesn't dislike it, I can lead you to play these days, originally I didn't have much affairs in the palace, and the crown princess specially ordered you to take care of you......"

"Can't you see your eldest sister? Did she say she wanted to see me? ”

Gan Meng shook his head and said, "The crown princess didn't mention it, but I will definitely come to see you!" ”

Wen Yang smiled, but there was some loneliness hidden in his smile.

Thinking of the days when he was a child, he lived with his eldest sister, although there was still a second brother Wen Jue at home, but the second brother was a man after all, and his mind was not as delicate as the eldest sister who was a daughter, and many words could not be said to the second brother.

The eldest sister taught her to read and write early, and women were not allowed to enter the hall, but the eldest sister was no worse than those boys. In her heart, the eldest sister is not only an older sister, but also a role model, but also a mother-like existence......

She will always remember that when her sister was 17 years old, their family traveled to Jiangnan together, and when she was intoxicated by the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, her sister sat alone in a flat boat and walked on the blue waves, the wind of early spring lifted the hem of her dress and skirt, she held a magnolia in her hand, her skin was white and snowy, and her eyebrows were indifferent, as if all the distractions in the world had nothing to do with her, and she was like a fairy.

She can see God, and others can see God.

That man was the crown prince.

She originally thought that the eldest sister would naturally not accept the prince's pursuit, and those who could get the eldest sister must have a family background, appearance, and talent, and they must be one in a thousand. Although the prince's status is precious, he can't be counted among the others, but he didn't expect that in just half a year, the eldest sister entered the prince's mansion......

But now that we have been separated for too long, what is it...... How many students have been divided......
