Chapter 247: I was young then
Chapter 247 was young at that time
In the corner of the royal garden of the palace, Lin Weiyuan walked step by step, bypassing the layers of rockeries and shrubs, and finally came to the front.
This is a tall rockery, standing in the corner of the imperial garden, because there is a crooked neck tree on the mountain, there are often palace maids and eunuchs hanging here, so it is rumored to be scary, usually few people come here, let alone climb this rockery.
Because of this, almost no one knows that the height of this rockery is much higher than the wall of the Imperial Garden.
Outside the wall of the imperial garden, between the palace wall and the palace wall, there is only a palace road three zhang wide.
Standing on this rockery, without any help, you can see the most prosperous street of the royal city outside the palace.
Lin Weiyuan has only been here once, and that was many years ago.
At that time, as the eldest son of the general's palace, he accompanied his parents to the palace banquet for the first time, and he went to the imperial garden to relax during the banquet, and accidentally walked here, which was his first and last visit.
That day, he saw a faint figure on the high rockery, and he thought that the palace maid who couldn't think of it was going to commit suicide, so he rushed up to save people without thinking too much.
In the hazy moonlight, he saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old, dressed in gorgeous costumes, standing under the hibiscus tree, touching the trunk with one hand, standing on tiptoe, looking up longingly.
She was too focused, her body swaying, and she was a little unsteady.
He hurried over and grabbed her shoulders while reproaching her.
"Oh, be careful not to fall, there are rocks underneath, and if you don't die, you'll be broken. If you fall ugly, who will marry you when you grow up in the future!"
The little girl was startled, lowered her head in embarrassment and shame, grabbed her dress, and kicked a stone on the ground on her toes.
"I, just...... Want to see ...... Look outside...... How to celebrate the New Year's ......"
"How is the New Year's Festival outside?" he laughed when he heard this, and was a little annoyed.
If you don't need to accompany your parents to the palace dinner. At this time of the year, it was the time when he and his friends from the neighboring mansion were chasing and fighting all over the streets.
He let go of her shoulders and stood under the tree with her, he didn't need to step on his feet to see the lights of thousands of houses outside, and the children chasing and playing with lanterns in the streets and alleys.
So he told her full of memories, "...... We will light lanterns...... There are rice cakes to eat...... There is a New Year's money...... A group of young boys dare to play wrestling in new clothes...... When lighting firecrackers, turn sideways and bow your head...... Eat sugar gourd on a snowy day, your tongue can stick to it......"
He said it seriously, she listened carefully, her eyes sparkling and her eyes full of longing.
He said it for a long, long time, and she listened attentively.
Finally, they waved goodbye, and agreed that they would meet here the following year, and that they would continue to tell her about things outside the palace.
It's a pity that the two children were hot for a long time, and when they left, they forgot to ask each other's identities.
Unexpectedly, the next year, the Xiqin Kingdom invaded, and he fought with his father in the year of the weak crown, and since then for ten years, he has never entered the royal city for half a step.
Until that day, when he followed his father as a young general and entered the palace to worship the king, he recognized at a glance the pretty and noble woman who was dressed in a gorgeous dress and stood nobly and reservedly half a step behind the lord.
It's her, it turns out that she's a princess!
His gaze crossed everything in between, obsessed with hers.
She sensed it, and looked at him, and the two met their eyes, and he noticed the curiosity and deep longing in her gaze.
