In the past few days, the prince often went to worship Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was busy with state affairs, so he often sent the confessor back to the prince euphemistically, telling him not to come to worship every day. The prince returned to his palace with an indifferent expression. Yesterday, I wanted to ask my father for permission to follow him to Zhengguoqu to check the water conservancy facilities, but when I arrived at the front hall, my father had already led a large group of civil and military officials to leave first. The prince had to go back to the prince's palace again. On this day, Liu Ying stayed in the palace and had nothing to do, and there was nothing to do, and there was no good partner to accompany him, because he was the prince, he was high, and no one dared to play with him among the palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom were restricted by those palace rules and the so-called etiquette of respect and inferiority. At this moment, he wished that someone would come over and talk to him, run and play with him, he thought so, and laughed out loud when he thought about it.

The Anshe man who was waiting for Liu Ying next to him, that is, An Delu, he was loyal to the prince, and he looked at the prince smirking a little in front of the window, knowing what he was longing for again. He also knew that the prince was very lonely, in addition to going to the queen and the emperor every day to say goodbye, after coming back, he was playing with swords, blowing songs, looking at bamboo slips, and then he liked to plant some flowers, although it was autumn now, but he liked flowers, very much.

"You see, the flowers in the courtyard have quietly withered." Liu Ying raised her right hand and pointed to the falling flowers outside the window, turned her head and said to the Anshe people.

The Anshe people looked in the direction he pointed, and also walked in front of the window, and there were proud chrysanthemums standing in the courtyard, except for the chrysanthemums, all the other flowers were indeed all withered, and the Anshe people smiled and said, "Not all flowers fall into the soil, aren't chrysanthemums blooming alone?" There are no rivals, only she blooms gorgeously, silent and beautiful. ”

The corners of Liu Ying's mouth raised a long-lost smile, and she looked back at the Anshe people, her good-looking eyes revealed a childlike purity, "The Anshe people look at it much more carefully than me, I only see other flowers, but I don't see that the chrysanthemum is the time to release her beauty at this time." After a pause, he said, "It's late autumn, but fortunately, the plum blossoms are about to bloom." ”

Looking out the window, the sky is blue, from time to time a few birds fly south, and the solemn buildings in the distance are even more majestic and magnificent against the blue sky and daylight.

"Anshe, help me get the sword, I want to play two tricks." Liu Ying suddenly had the interest to play with the sword, it was rare for the prince to be happy, and the Anshe people were also happy, and hurriedly went to the pavilion to take out the prince's favorite Xuantian sword.

Liu Ying took the sword and flew into the courtyard, took the sword in his hand and cut through the blue sky, sometimes a flying step splashed countless red on the ground, sometimes bent down to come to a drunken dance of the ethereal lotus shadow, sometimes alone in the air to pick the light, sometimes the hero scattered flowers to cover the sky, the swordsmanship is deep and no one can understand, only feel that the body is light, the hair gently swings with his body, occasionally the hair is ethereal to cover the eyes, a bright turn falls on the platform, the hair returns to its place with his landing, coveting behind him.

The Ansha people also nodded their heads again and again.

After a while, Liu Ying stood in front of Ansheren, "What? ”

Anshe people bowed and raised their hands, and praised with a smile, "The prince's body is as light as a swallow, his swordsmanship is natural, and his moves are ethereal, which is indeed very good." ”

Liu Ying smiled, put away the sword and handed it back to the Ansheren, who put the sword back in its place. But he was still bored, so he walked around the yard for a while, tidying up the plum blossoms that were about to bloom in the courtyard. As soon as she was fiddling with the branches, Liu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, a smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and said excitedly to An Delu, "Why don't you accompany me to Shanglin Yuan, I heard that there are also a lot of chrysanthemums there, all colors, much more than here, and then it's not bad to ride a horse." ”

As he spoke, he was going to pull Anshe people to follow him, but An Delu seemed to have some scruples, and comforted, "Your Highness, the emperor is leading the ministers to inspect the water conservancy, and you can go riding horses and enjoying the flowers at your leisure, which is not appropriate." ”

Liu Ying immediately lost a smile on her face, stopped there and didn't speak, and said suddenly after a long time, "My father doesn't seem to want to take me there, I have looked for my father, and when I arrived at the front hall, he was already gone." Liu Ying was obviously a little lost, lowered her head and didn't want to raise it again.

An Delu's mouth opened in surprise, blaming himself for saying the wrong thing, it turned out that the prince had already followed the emperor to Zheng Guoqu to inspect the water conservancy, but he was just a step late, and then thought of the emperor in the middle of dealing with the entire Weishui matter, he really didn't want the prince to interfere, and it was not appropriate for the prince to chase him alone. An Delu felt that he had misunderstood the prince, so he sighed on the spot, went to the prince's side and gently stroked the prince's back to show comfort, and said, "The minister will accompany you to Shanglin Yuan for a walk." ”

The crown prince Liu Ying looked up at the Anshe people for a long time, and finally had a smile of comfort.

The two walked slowly, Shanglin Yuan was on the south bank of Weishui, northwest of Changle Palace, out of the prince's palace, the two of them went to the north. Liu Ying felt fortunate to have such an entourage who could talk, and others would not dare to talk to him so closely, firstly, the queen would not allow it, and secondly, the status was different. Anshe people are already in their fifties, originally Liangdi people, in the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang led the army from Pingcheng to withdraw to Guanzhong on the way, Anshe people took refuge in Liu Bang, Liu Bang followed him back to Chang'an as Zhongjuan, and then transferred the Anshe people to the prince to use, until now. Anshe people care for the little prince Liu Ying like a father.

Liu Ying walked with him for a while, looked up and saw a towering pavilion, still the four corners of the outward, the pavilion around the pavilion standing a big tree that has already fallen leaves, there is a wooden fence at the end, take a closer look, the pavilion is written on the 'Qiyuan Pavilion', he looked again, the pavilion is connected to the pavilion of Changle Palace, no wonder, Changle Palace is so big, when is there an extra pavilion here?

He didn't seem to have walked down the road, so he looked a little curious, tilted his head sideways and continued to approach the pavilion, with Andreu following closely.

There are stone benches, a few cases and tea in the pavilion, it seems that someone will come here every day to sit, Liu Ying found a seat and sat down, he wants to rest here for a while before going to Shanglin Yuan.

Liu Ying was very happy and curious, and said, "I have walked to Changle Palace several times, but I haven't seen an extra pavilion here, but it is indeed a good place to drink tea and chat." Liu Ying stretched out her head and looked around at the beautiful scenery and said to An Delu.

An Delu nodded, he knew who had just established the pavilion, "Your Highness, this pavilion was built by the queen mother's order, saying that it is quiet and peaceful here, no one disturbs it, and it is a good place to meditate." ”

Liu Ying curled her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, "It turned out to be the queen mother, yes, I can also come here to meditate in the future." ”

When they were talking energetically, a dark-colored brown woman in the distance ran in the distance, hurriedly covering her face, as if crying sadly. Liu Ying got up when she heard the sound, wanted to stop her and ask what was going on, standing in the pavilion and preparing to comfort this person, but this female palace person quickly ran over, because she bowed her head and cried sadly, she didn't see anyone in the pavilion, just when she passed by Liu Ying, she felt someone, but she didn't stop, but just said "dodge" in a rough voice and panicked with some anger, and pushed Liu Ying aside from the pavilion at once, and ran away in a hurry without looking at it.

Liu Ying, who was pushed aside, watched her run away in a hurry, only feeling so familiar, it was the familiar figure and her familiar taste, he was very curious about her, he didn't pay much attention to himself falling to the ground, but he thought hard that the woman seemed to have seen it, and muttered, "It seems that I have seen it somewhere, why can't I remember it?" Liu Ying knocked on her head, but she still couldn't remember.

An Delu, who was standing next to him, looked at everything that happened just now, he was very angry, no one dared to be so rude to the prince, An Delu didn't have time to reprimand the female palace person, he saw her running away in a hurry like a gust of wind, An Delu pointed at the woman angrily and embarrassedly said: "She, she, she ......" She has run away.

An Delu looked at Liu Ying again, he was looking at the female palace people who had gone away.

I don't know if I remembered the carelessness just now, or if I was subjected to some force, but the palace maid who had already gone away looked back at him hurriedly, and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at it, Liu Ying laughed, full of surprise, "It turned out to be her." ”

She is Jing Ting, that day, Jing Tian also met Liu Ying with a heavy heart, but like today, they still did not see each other's faces directly, just left a vague impression and a sense of déjà vu.

An Delu helped Liu Ying up, looked at the woman's back, and Liu Ying patted the dust on her body. He was about to leave with An Delu to go to Shanglin Yuan, and inadvertently a shiny thing came into view, Liu Ying bent down to pick it up, but it was a small and delicate earring, he knew that it must have been accidentally dropped by the woman just now, he raised his eyebrows, curled his mouth, and then carefully put the earring into his sleeve, and looked at the direction she went away, he felt that they would meet again.
