1902 Gardenia
Putting down the fold, Chu Chengqian stretched his muscles and bones, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and closed his eyes comfortably.
Chang Hai'an, who was waiting on the side, looked at the emperor's good mood, and asked softly, "I don't know why the emperor is so happy?" ”
Chu Chengqian opened his eyes, turned his head to Chang Hai'an and said, "How do you know that this emperor is happy?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the emperor can't see himself, but the slave has been waiting, and the smile on the emperor's face has not stopped!" Chang Haian replied,
"Oh...... Hehe...... The emperor was indeed in a good mood, the border war was a great victory, and Zhang Tai, the governor of the two rivers, came to say that this year's crops in Anhui, Jiangxi and other places were bumper, and the treasury reserves were full...... is so peaceful and peaceful, you say, which one of these piles is not worthy of the emperor's happiness? Chu Chengqian said.
"Isn't this thanks to the emperor's rule of the country, my Dajin Dynasty can be so prosperous and strong!" Chang Haian said.
"Chang Hai'an, you, don't say such useless compliments...... Bendi doesn't know you yet! Chu Chengqian pretended to blame.
"Yes, yes, the emperor taught ......" Chang Hai said, "But no matter how happy the emperor is, he has to have lunch, it's noon......"
Chu Chengqian glanced at the rest of the folds and said, "That's it, it's not too late to look at this fold after lunch...... Lunch moved to Shoumiao Palace, the emperor has not been to accompany the emperor for a few days. Thinking of the Queen Mother, Chu Chengqian's head hurt faintly, and the Queen Mother has been secretly handing over the news in the past few days, just hoping that Chu Chengqian will go to Dexing Palace to walk around more. But Chu Chengqian's mood was not smooth, so he didn't hear the Queen Mother's words, so he hid if he could, it was rare for Chu Chengqian to be in a good mood today, if he dragged the Queen Mother again, I am afraid it would not be appropriate...... Therefore, Chu Chengqian was ready to go to Shoumiao Palace for lunch.
"Huh......" Chang Haian bent down in response, and then raised his voice and said: "Move to the ...... of Shoumiao Palace"
When Chu Chengqian and his entourage arrived at the Imperial Garden, they heard a burst of women's laughter from a distance...... Getting closer, Chu Chengqian found that the source of this laughter turned out to be Xia Yezi.
Xia Yezi wore a pale white palace dress, which was elegant but a little more dusty, ink-like green silk, simply a flowing cloud bun, and a simple and generous hairpin on his head. Xia Yezi's outfit is very different from the riding costume she wore when I first saw her on the grassland, but it is miraculously commensurate. Chu Chengqian's ghost made the god stop, raised his hand to stop Chang Hai'an's words that he was about to exit, and then hid behind the rockery around the corner, Xia Yezi's voice was not small and could reach Chu Chengqian's ears.
"Little master, little master said that the lotus leaf people are like lotus flowers as their name suggests, so what kind of flower does the little master think he looks like?" Lotus Yexin asked Xia Yezi directly.
"Ahem! Needless to say, our little master is the most like a peony and looks the best! Lotus Xiang glanced at the lotus leaf with disdain, such a simple question still needs to be said......
"Just your mouth! Our little master's temperament is obviously like a plum blossom! Lotus Ye did not show weakness and replied.
"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel...... is the same as the enemy, forget it in his own palace, what kind of system will it be seen by others when it comes out! Xia Yezi heard the conversation between the two of them, and felt funny in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be angry and blamed them.
"Little master, the slave doesn't dare......" Hearing Xia Yezi's words, Lianye lowered her head and said. Lotus Blossom also stopped talking.
"Actually, whether it's a peony or a plum blossom, it's not what this palace likes...... Although the peony is gorgeous, it is too squeamish, and it looks vulgar if it is too gorgeous. Plum blossoms are good, but they are lonely, and there is a sense of sadness when they think about it, so this palace doesn't like ......"
"What does the little lord like?" Lianye asked again.
Xia Yezi left the pool and walked forward, stretched out his hand to pluck a flower, and continued: "If you want to say that you like it, this gardenia is the favorite in this garden...... Although a flower is small, there are many buds on a branch, and then another one is opened, endlessly, and this gardenia likes sunlight and is dry, no matter what conditions can survive, and has been gently persistent...... "Just like myself, I came to the capital from the grassland, and left the place where I have been growing, although there are aunts and sisters in the imperial palace, but after all, the deep palace is sinister, and everything can only rely on myself, and live strongly...... Xia Yezi hopes that she will be like this gardenia, and she will be at peace with what she encounters......
"Little Lord ......" has been laughing at the lotus leaves and lotus lotus incense fighting on the side of Hong Bing, and held Xia Yezi's hand, Hong Bing, who grew up together since childhood, knows why Xia Yezi likes gardenias, and also knows Xia Yezi's inner thoughts at this time.
Xia Yezi glanced at Hong Bing, she knew, all her thoughts, Hong Bing understood......
After sorting out his mood, Xia Yezi said: "It's not too early, after a while, the sun will come down, before the sun comes down, let's go back to the palace...... In the past few days, I have been tossed by the water and soil and all kinds of miscellaneous things, and my spirit is not very good, and I have been strong in the past two days, and the palace is going back to rest and rest......"
"Yes, little master...... "Lianye was also afraid that she would stay too long, and Xia Yezi's body couldn't stand it, so she answered and helped Xia Yezi to walk back.
Chu Chengqian looked at the back of Xia Yezi who was gradually disappearing, and remembered what Xia Yezi had just said. Gardenia......
After meeting in Shoumiao Palace since returning to the palace, although Chu Chengqian named Xia Yezi as the Qing concubine, he never went to Dexing Palace to see Xia Yezi once, although he was still angry that Xia Yezi replaced Lu Tao into the palace, and he was also angry that the Queen Mother married Xia Yezi for himself, but after all, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. So I kept hanging Xia Yezi, thinking that as long as I didn't spoil her, she wouldn't be able to give birth to anything big...... But just when I listened to Xia Yezi in the imperial garden, I didn't want to enter the palace, but since I didn't want to enter the palace, why did I accept the queen mother's decree in the first place? Why did he replace Lu Tao in the palace? Summer leaves...... What kind of person are you? What exactly do you mean......
Chu Chengqian's heart instantly had a lot of question marks, and he was also more curious about the reason why Xia Yezi entered the palace......
"Emperor, Concubine Qing has already gone far......" Seeing Chu Chengqian's distraction at Xia Yezi's back, An Changhai reminded softly, "Emperor, I'm afraid the Shoumiao Palace is ready......"
Chu Chengqian then remembered that the purpose of his coming out was to go to Shoumiao Palace, so he settled down and temporarily let go of his curiosity about Xia Yezi, Xia Yezi ...... We're going to have a long way to go.
"An Changhai, let's go......" Chu Chengqian walked out from behind the rockery and said.
