Chenguang returned to the post house of Feng Yingguo, and as soon as he got off the carriage, Si Qi came up and whispered:

"Your Royal Highness, a eunuch came to the palace of Cangqiu Kingdom, saying that Empress Dowager Gu invited His Royal Highness to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers."

Chenguang pondered for a moment and smiled.

The chief eunuch who came out of the palace was very polite, and smiled at Chenguang and relayed the words of the Empress Dowager Gu, saying that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming well this year, and he invited His Royal Highness Lord Feng to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers.

Chenguang agreed.

The imperial garden of Cangqiu Country has the most peonies, and a large peony garden is newly planted this year, which is the favorite flower of the Empress Dowager Gu. The large peonies bloom in the sun, and the flowers are full of flowers, which are beautiful.

Empress Dowager Gu wore a grass-green dark flower butterfly pattern clean-faced stand-up collar palace dress, below which was a brocade folded branch peony sprinkled flower skirt that dragged the floor, holding a rose purple flower Bixia Russell Aya, and her long black hair was curled into a chic bun, and she wore a set of gilt intarsia head, and a half-moon water ripple belt was tied around her waist, and there was also a brocade sachet with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, which was as beautiful as the autumn moon and more beautiful than spring flowers.

For a widow who has just lost her husband and is the queen mother of a country, her dress is too gaudy, the colors are bright, bright and moving, and the grief of the widow cannot be seen at all. Now at this time, she has not even passed the mourning period, and at this time, she is dressed so freely and casually, it can be seen that the court of Cangqiu Country is indeed covered by her Gu family, and she does not need to care about the eyes of others at all.

She is dressed very young, although she is not old, and she is beautiful and beautiful, but there are very few women in this world who are over thirty years old like her, who still regard herself as a bride in her early twenties, and her clothes are piercing and bright.

When Chenguang arrived at the Imperial Garden, Empress Dowager Gu was sitting in the peony bush and listening to the play with relish.

Not far from where she sits, the small opera troupe raised in the palace is babbling and singing among the flowers, the sound of the piano is tactful, and the sound of the flute is melodious.

It is a unique opera in Cangqiu country, using the ancient dialect of Cangqiu country, when singing, no matter whether the person in the play is male or female, the singing tone is very soft, and the words are usually turned back and turned, and the voice is very long. When singing, the voice is very low, rarely high-pitched, usually whimpering, and occasionally feels like crying.

Empress Dowager Gu loves to listen to dramas, Chenguang looked at the drama being staged in the distance, although they are all dressed as women, but in the play, they are a man and a woman, the love is lingering, it is difficult to give up, Chenguang wants to meet with herself, Empress Dowager Gu is still watching this kind of play, it seems that she really likes to watch love dramas.

The eunuch who led the way took two steps faster to report when he approached, and the palace maid reported to the Empress Dowager Gu who was immersed in the play.

was interrupted to watch the play, Empress Dowager Gu was a little displeased, listened to the palace maid's report and looked out of the flowers, and saw Chenguang standing there, only then did she turn her anger into joy, and looked at Chenguang with a pleasant face.

Chenguang was led by the palace maid and came to the Empress Dowager Gu's seat, where the other chair by the table was empty, covered with soft animal skins. Morning Light glanced at the round table in front of her, which included a few delicate snacks and a flask.

Drinking in the blue sky and daytime, Empress Dowager Gu is not an ordinary woman.

"The first day I saw the phoenix lord I felt that the phoenix lord was beautiful, such a beautiful person must love flowers, today's peony garden is full of peonies, I want to enjoy the flowers when I suddenly remembered the phoenix lord, so I took the liberty of sending someone to invite the phoenix lord, did not disturb the phoenix lord, right?" Empress Dowager Gu's attitude when she spoke was quite polite, she sat on the chair and looked at the morning light with a smile.

Although Chenguang is said to be the lord of the phoenix, after all, he is not the monarch, and her identity as the queen mother is still a little different, if you calculate it carefully, it is still a generation away, and the queen mother Gu did not stand up to greet her, maybe she felt that her identity was more noble, maybe she wanted to test Chenguang's attitude.

"No, I was in a panic in the post house, thanks to the Empress Dowager Gu inviting me to enjoy the flowers, I have a place to go and come out." Chenguang didn't care at all, and under the silent invitation of Empress Dowager Gu, he sat down on the empty chair with a smile.

"How could Lord Feng be so idle, didn't he go to Butterfly Valley at the invitation of Emperor Chiyang before." Empress Dowager Gu said with a smile.

Chenguang's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't swim in the lake after a trip in vain." ”

The smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Gu's lips was deep, and she said: "Yes, the lake over there in Butterfly Valley is the best, the water is clear and the mountains are beautiful, this season is the most suitable for swimming in the lake, and it will not be suitable if the weather is hot for a while." ”

"Yes." The morning light watch replied approvingly.

Empress Dowager Gu smiled, looked at the wine jug on the table, and said, "This is a three-flavor wine brewed in the palace, which tastes more mellow than the wine of any country, Lord Feng tastes it?" ”

"I understand the kindness of Empress Dowager Gu, I am not in good health, and I can't drink." Chenguang smiled and excused himself.

Empress Dowager Gu's expression was slightly disappointed, and she glanced at Chenguang with sympathetic eyes:

"Lord Feng is not very old, and his body is so weak at such a young age, it is really distressing."

Morning Light smiled.

Empress Dowager Gu has survived in the harem for too long, even if she has now escaped from the deceit of the harem, holds power, and is supreme, but she can occasionally see a trace of the shadow of a harem woman in her conversation, this is probably a habit, habit has been deeply engraved in her bones, she can't realize it, and she can't change it.

Empress Dowager Gu looked at the morning light intently, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Lord Feng is really beautiful, worthy of being a beauty living in rumors, and the flowers will be overshadowed when they see you." ”

Chenguang laughed: "Empress Dowager Gu is a beauty, Empress Dowager Gu said this, I dare not be ashamed." ”

Whether it was hypocrisy or hypocrisy, when such words came out of her mouth, Empress Dowager Gu's heart was still very useful, and her smile was a little deeper than just now.

Chenguang hooked his lips, withdrew his gaze from her face, looked at the babbling and singing troupe in the distance, and asked with a smile:

"Empress Dowager Gu likes to listen to dramas?"

Empress Dowager Gu's mood rose a little, probably because she really liked to listen to the play, she stared at the stage, and introduced to Chenguang with great interest: "This is the most famous play in many plays, "The Story of the Bright Moon", the Phoenix Lord also takes a look, maybe he will like it, if the Phoenix Lord likes it, I will send the Feng Master a troupe when I go back." ”

Chenguang smiled but didn't answer.

She followed the Empress Dowager Gu and listened to the play quietly, although she couldn't understand a word of the dialect of Cangqiu Kingdom, the two people on the stage were greasy and crooked, humming and chirping, she still watched quietly, as if she really came to enjoy the flowers and watch the play and enjoy a good time with the Empress Dowager Gu.

…… It's really a ghost who is enjoying a good time, whether it's for Chenguang or for Empress Dowager Gu.
