After taking a bath, Jiang Yulin was refreshed. changed into a plain white shirt and entered the palace. There were a lot of things in his hand.

After passing the gate of the Liang Palace, we went to the Ganquan Palace.

The vermilion gate of Ganquan Palace is tightly closed, and green weeds grow on the stone brick pavement at the entrance, and few people come at a glance.

Jiang Yulin knocked lightly on the door, and a woman's coughing sound came from behind the door. A crack opened in the heavy palace door, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a palace maid led Jiang Yulin in.

"Gongzi of the Jiang family, you are here this year. Speaking of which, I haven't seen it for many years, and the longer it gets, the higher it gets. Cough... Ahem..."

"Aunt Luo, you haven't changed at all!" Jiang Yulin followed the door with a grin.

"The old cough really hasn't changed at all."

Jiang Yulin looked around restlessly, the fiery red maple bloomed all over the courtyard, and an osmanthus flower in the corner exuded a shallow fragrance.

Jiang Yulin took a deep breath and was refreshed. He had always felt that Ganquan Palace was a good place. This is the palace of Empress Yuchi during her lifetime, and every grass and tree is built according to her preferences, unlike this gorgeous Liang Palace, which is cold and lifeless.

Stepping on the road, follow behind the palace maid Aunt Luo. Jiang Yulin suddenly remembered that Aunt Luo seemed to have been in this palace for ten years.

"Aunt Luo, it's time for you to go out of the palace and live. For example, marry a reliable man and start a family. Two or three more children, Cheng Huan's knees. It's too lonely to live alone in Ganquan Palace. ”

The two of them walked through the courtyard, and the afternoon sun stretched the shadows of the building, making it seem that time had been long. Aunt Luo chuckled, lowered her head, and stroked the broken hair on her forehead: "The master is a great favor to the slave, and helping the master take care of her residence before her death is what the slave should do." Besides, the deceased is gone, but the living still need to remember, and there is always a place to see things and think about people. ”

"But..."

Jiang Yulin was about to say something, but Aunt Luo took the things in his hand and interrupted him.

"What good things did you bring this time for Aunt Luo to see?"

Jiang Yulin smiled: "How do I know, it was all prepared by my mother." It's just some of the things that my aunt loved to use when she was alive. When the time comes, I'll have to bother Aunt Luo to burn it. ”

Aunt Luo looked at him, smiled, and helped him unpack his bags on his shoulders. When I opened it, I saw that there were all kinds of things that women were used to. Madame Chiang had always had a good relationship with her sister, and every year she would send all sorts of things on her death.

As she cleaned up, she coughed uncontrollably twice.

Jiang Yulin had nothing to do, so he looked at the busy middle-aged woman. On the meticulously combed hair, a silver-white magnolia flower was hairpinned. Pairs of white jade earrings hung on the ears. Dressed in a black dress, calm and solemn.

Aunt Luo's face is soft and gentle, and the years are really tolerant to her, as long as there are shallow wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. A smile as soft as a full moon makes people feel like a spring breeze. Such a woman poured all her youth into this palace, and the years to come were still here until she died.

But this is her own choice of life, as an outsider, he has no position to influence her. Moreover, she also volunteered.

Aunt Luo is the dowry girl of Queen Yuchi, and after the death of Queen Yuchi, she has been in this Ganquan Palace and is unwilling to leave the palace. The Ganquan Palace has been kept in its original appearance.

After that, Jiang Yulin and Aunt Luo put incense in front of Empress Yuchi's tablet and made a sacrifice.

Before leaving, Jiang Yulin stood at the door: "Aunt Luo, I'll go by myself." No need to send it. ”

Aunt Luo smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not troublesome." ”

The orange-red sunset on the horizon stained the clouds, and flocks of birds flew overhead.

"The weather is getting cooler, and Aunt Luo must remember to wear more clothes. Besides, if you have lung disease, it's best to find an imperial doctor to help you see it. ”

"Thank you! Say hello to your mother on my behalf. ”

"That's nature!"

Jiang Yulin made another gesture, said goodbye to Aunt Luo, and calmly walked out of Ganquan Palace.

After finishing the errand given to him by his mother, Jiang Yulin also felt relaxed.

It's better to go to a friend, Lord Yu, and have a drink. I haven't been in Shengjing for too long, and I don't know if the warbler Yanyan next to him has changed a batch. Thinking of this, Jiang Yulin curled the corners of his mouth.

The footsteps briskly turned a section of the palace wall, and was suddenly stopped by a petite figure.

"Jiang Yulin! Didn't you come to me when you came to the palace? ”

It turned out to be Princess Qingyuan. She grabbed Jiang Yulin's sleeve and didn't let him leave. Staring at innocent eyes, question him.

Jiang Yulin was taken aback: "I'm scared to death!" Qingyuan! How did you pop out of nowhere! "Jiang Yulin and the three brothers and sisters of the royal family grew up together, and they did not stick to court etiquette, so they could call Qing Yuan by their names.

"I heard that you returned to the palace today, so I guessed that you must have come to Ganquan Palace. How? Is this leaving? Qing Yuan's little hand still refused to let go.

Jiang Yulin remained silent and slowly pulled his sleeves out of Qing Yuan's hand. Immediately, Qing Yuan raised his pink little mouth.

"Yes, I'm going to go to your brother Yu for a drink later. I won't stay long, I'll play with you next time. ”

Jiang Yulin scratched Princess Qingyuan's little nose, smiled evilly, and planned to leave.

"Don't go!" But Qingyuan's stubborn little hand grabbed the corner of Jiang Yulin's clothes again. This time, I was a little angry.

Qing Yuan is the emperor's favorite princess, and Jiang Yulin doesn't want to annoy her. It's better to coax it.

He bent down and moved closer to her with a frown: "Xiao Qingyuan, what's wrong?" ”

Qing Yuan squirmed, and looked like a little daughter: "I haven't seen you for many years, so you can stay with me for a while." Tomorrow, you can go to Brother Yu for a drink. ”

"Spend a little more time with you? Not at this time, I'll come back to the palace tomorrow to look for you, okay! ”

Qing Yuan didn't buy it, and stomped his feet with his petite figure: "No!" I, Qingyuan, order you in the name of the princess, you must accompany me today! ”

Jiang Yulin didn't have anything to do with her, but he didn't feel annoying: "Then you say, what am I going to do with you?" ”

When Qing Yuan heard that Jiang Yulin seemed to agree, he smiled, revealing two neat rows of white teeth: "Go to Ganquan Palace!" ”

"To Ganquan Palace?! I just came out of there, why did I go in again! ”

Qing Yuan made a silent motion, pulled Jiang Yulin aside, and looked around again. After making sure that there was no one else, he continued: "Let's go to Ganquan Palace, when Emperor Hui is coming, he will definitely go there to sit and miss Empress Yuchi." ”

Jiang Yulin was puzzled: "What does that have to do with us?" ”

Qing Yuan didn't think so: "People have always said that my father is in love, and he only loves Empress Yuchi as a woman." Don't you want to know what the relationship between them is like? Why should they love each other like this? ”

Being said by Qing Yuan, Jiang Yulin did have some interest.
