In the spring, it is already the second year of Yongchang, Luoyang City is rare to have such a good weather, the spring breeze helps the weak willows, the bees and butterflies linger, and the spring rain of apricot blossoms. Overnight, the imperial garden is full of flowers, all kinds of delicate flowers are cloudy, and the flowers are gradually charming, and they are back to the same beauty as the Lin'an palace in the past.

On this day, the spring light was just right, and Chu Luo took Chang'an to watch the scenery in the garden.

There is a garden in the Imperial Garden called "Chuntang Garden", and thousands of begonias compete to open in that garden. Queen Li Shushen likes begonias, and this scene of begonias fits her preferences. Thinking like this, Chang'an felt a little distracted.

Chu Luo followed behind Chang'an, and when he saw that her expression was solemn and her eyes didn't know where to look, he smiled to himself, hugged her behind him, and said softly, "You like peach blossoms, can I also order someone to build you a peach garden another day?" ”

Chang'an seemed to like him so closely, and said with a slight smile, "There is already a peach forest in the Chonghua Palace, how can it be enough?" ”

Chu Luo's eyes were full of warmth, staring at Chang'an for a long time, then he suddenly turned around and took her hand, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and chuckled, "Let's go, accompany me to play a game of chess." ”

In the chess game, Chu Luo didn't care about the chess pieces, but looked at Chang'an.

Chang'an was thinking about the sunspot on the chessboard at this time, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Chu Luo looking at her with a smile, and said with a smile, "What does the emperor always look at me?" This game is going to be lost. ”

"What's the matter if you lose." Chu Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "The next game is the next one." ”

Chang An smiled, "The emperor is so inattentive in chess, no matter how many games he plays, he will lose." ”

Chu Luo chuckled, and suddenly grasped Chang'an's slender fingers holding Bai Zi, Bai Zi fell on the chessboard with a "click", he didn't realize it, and whispered to Chang'an, "I want to promote your father's official position and order him to enter Luoyang as a central official, but he refuses." ”

Chang'an was stunned, stared for a moment, and said with a smile, "There are so many children at home, he must not be at ease." ”

Chu Luo bowed slightly, and said softly, "Wouldn't it be better to let your mother, as well as Aunt Lan, move to Luoyang and happen to be with you?" ”

Chang An was dumbfounded, withdrew his hand from Chu Luo's clenched palm, and then landed Bai Zi firmly on the chessboard, and said indifferently, "They must also be unwilling." ”

Chang'an understands very well in his heart that his father can be promoted only because of her, there has always been a gap between his mother and father, and Aunt Lan is in the middle, can the three of them live separately in Luoyang? In addition, if her Shen clan steadily rose in the previous dynasty by virtue of her status in the harem, then she would also become the target of the harem.

"Then your elder brother, and the eldest brother, also refuse to enter the court as an official?" Chu Luo asked.

Chang'an was still smiling, but he didn't look up at him, "Changping is only fifteen years old this year, and the eldest brother has already married a wife and had children, and he is still waiting to take over his father's position in the future." After finishing speaking, Chang'an raised his head, and his tone became warm and soft, "If the emperor is for Chang'an's sake, there is no need to be like this, and if he falls into the words of the ministers of the previous dynasty, he will ......."

Before the words fell, only a "bang" was heard, and a tanuki cat stretched out its paws and flew onto the chessboard, accompanied by a burst of exclamations from everyone, and the chess pieces scattered in all directions.

"Master, be careful!" Before Chang'an could react, the cold smoke was already in front of her.

At this moment, a shadow flashed in front of him, and he quickly took the tanuki cat away.

Cheng Dehai protected himself in front of the emperor and shouted, "Bold! Dare to set on a cat to disturb the emperor and the virtuous concubine, what a crime! ”

The woman in front of her was startled, hugged the tanuki cat in her arms, and hurriedly knelt down and said to Chu Luo, "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine didn't mean to disturb the emperor and the virtuous concubine, it was this flower cat who was ignorant, and the concubine couldn't see it all of a sudden, so she ...... Just ......" she said this, she couldn't cry anymore, and only lowered her chin and said, "Please also ask the emperor to spare the concubine this time......

Chang'an Fang was taken aback, frowned and raised his head, and heard her call herself a "concubine", and couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Look up."

When the woman heard the Emperor's words, she had to raise her head slightly, and there were still a few tears of horror in the corners of her eyes. Chang'an looked at her and his heart trembled.

Before Chu Luo could speak, a palace maid trotted all the way over, knelt in front of Chu Luo and Chang'an at once, and said with a crying voice, "Please let the emperor and Concubine Xian calm their anger, my little master is not intentional, if you want to blame, blame the slave maid, it is the slave maid who did not take a good look at the cat, and the slave maid just put the cat in the arms of the little master, and it ran away...... All the mistakes are the slaves' faults, and please don't blame the little master......"

The palace maid was very emotional, but Chu Luo just didn't hear it, turned his head to look at the palace woman who was kneeling beside the tanuki and crying, thought for a moment, and said, "I look at you...... It's familiar. ”

The palace woman's eyebrows moved, she hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "The concubine is the beauty of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, the Zhong family." ”

"Zhong ......" Chu Luo thought carefully, and suddenly smiled, "It's the Zhong beauty who danced at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, right?"

Zhong Yuxiu was overjoyed when she heard this, and replied happily, "It's the concubine." ”

"That's it." Chu Luo waved his hand and looked at Chang'an Dao, "Fang Cai is frightened?" ”

There was a hint of displeasure on Chang'an's face, he glanced at Zhong Yuxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, and stretched out his hand to correct the golden jade step, which was already a little skewed, and Fang slowly said, "The concubine is fine." ”

"It's fine." He smiled.

Cheng Dehai looked flattering, smiled and said to Chu Luo, "Since the emperor and the mother are fine, then the slave can find someone to beat this flower cat to death, so as to save it from scaring the masters in the future." ”

Zhong Yuxiu was shocked when she heard this, and carefully handed the tanuki cat into the arms of her palace maid, and bowed to Chu Luo and Chang'an in a low voice, saying, "Please also ask the emperor to be merciful and spare Ah Ruan's life, and the concubine will definitely take more care of it in the future, and it will not be amazing again." ”

"Ah Ruan?" Chu Luo chuckled, "You still gave it a name." ”

Yuxiu lowered his head and saw that there was no anger in the emperor's tone, so he also became bold and said, "This cat was sent to the palace by my mother for the concubine to amuse, and the concubine gave it a name." ”

Chu Luo smiled faintly, and his tone was a little gentle, "Since it was sent by Mrs. Shangshu, then stay in your palace." ”

Yuxiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the palace maids to kowtow together, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

After speaking, she got up, smiled very brightly at Chu Luo, hugged the tanuki cat, and gradually disappeared in the sight of Chang'an and Chu Luo.

Chang'an, who had just witnessed this scene, had no intention of playing chess at this time, and looked at a chessboard that had been overturned, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. She took Han Yan's hand and said to Chu Luo in a warm voice, "Go back to the palace." ”
