Chapter 102: Cold Palace

"Are the flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden?"

"Some of the early spring flowers have bloomed, and most of them have not bloomed." Xinghong put a fox fur cloak on Lan Xiaoyou, although it has already started spring, but the weather in early spring is still cold, "Merlin's plum blossoms are still blooming, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Okay, let's go." Lan Xiao replied. For plum blossoms, she is not as popular as others, but she also appreciates them, just like appreciating peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, osmanthus and other flowers.

Taoxin put down the embroidery work in his hand and instructed the palace maid on the side to prepare pastries and tea and keep warm in a box with charcoal. The palace is so big, and when the master is tired of walking and resting, they will serve tea and pastries.

"Taoxin, you guard Fengyi Palace, if something comes to me to deal with, you send a little eunuch with fast legs to find me." Lan Xiaoyu commanded before going out.

"Yes." Tao Xin answered. Now she has the demeanor of a big palace maid, which makes Lan Xiaoyou more at ease.

Lan Xiaoyou didn't bring too many people, only Xinghong, Quan Tianfu, two palace maids with neat legs and feet, and the little eunuch left Fengyi Palace.

The flowers in the garden are just as Xinghong said, only a few flowers that are not afraid of the cold have broken the flower bones, and there is still a few days before they are fully opened, and most of the other flowers have not even hit the flower bones. But a patch of green in the sun is much better than a bare patch in winter.

Bypassing the Imperial Garden, Lan Xiaoyou and his party walked most of the harem and came to the Plum Garden. The plum garden is in a corner of the harem, and the number of plum trees in it is more than that of Zhuangzi, the wife of Guogong Shen. In particular, the number of red plums is the largest, and the red and gorgeous one is like a red glow from a distance.

A pavilion was built in the plum forest for flower appreciation, and when she walked into the pavilion, the little palace maid quickly spread a thick velvet blanket on the stone bench with her hands and feet, and put hot tea and pastries on the table, and served it very intimately.

Lan Xiaoyou felt that she was about to be abandoned after coming to ancient times, and now if she travels back to modern times, I'm afraid she won't even be able to do housework, right? But fortunately, she can also draw talismans, and there are cleaning charms and the like in the charms, and when the time comes, you can use the cleaning charm to clean the house and wash clothes or something, as for cooking...... As long as you have money, five-star takeaway can also be bought.

After eating a piece of pastry, taking a sip of tea, facing the plum blossoms in the garden, Lan Xiaoyou was not in the mood to compose poetry, but her level of poetry was not high.

"Quan Tianfu, pick two red plums, take one back to Fengyi Palace, and send one to the Queen Mother after inserting the bottle."

"Yes." Quan Tianfu immediately took the little eunuch to choose Hongmei.

Lan Xiaoyou's gaze circled around the entire garden twice, and finally cast it in one direction. The plum blossoms over there are not the best, but there are not many of them, and they are quite withering, which makes Xinghong wonder if there is a problem with her master's vision.

Lan Xiaoyou's vision is naturally no problem, she doesn't see plum blossoms, but buildings not far from the plum garden. Most of the building was blocked by Merlin, with only a few corners of the eaves exposed, and a few broken tiles were laid on it.

Xinghong also saw the corner, and said suspiciously: "What kind of palace is that?" ”

With her knowledge of the palace, she didn't know that there was a palace next to Merlin!

"Cold Palace." Lan Xiaoyou said, "That's the Cold Palace. Where the palace concubine who made the mistake lived. ”

Xinghong's eyes widened in surprise: "Where is the cold palace?" ”

The legendary cold palace!

"Is there anyone living in there?"

"Not now." Lan Xiaoyou said, "Among the palace concubines of the first emperor, many died, but none of them were beaten into the cold palace. ”

"Hasn't that been abandoned for a long time?"

"Hmm." In her previous life, she was not deserted, and she welcomed a new resident like her!

Lan Xiaoyou stood up and walked in the direction of the cold palace, Xinghong greeted Quan Tianfu, and he hurriedly followed with the two palace maids.

Lan Xiaoyou stood outside the gate of the cold palace with a complicated mood. Compared to the other buildings in the palace, the cold palace is really dilapidated, but it has completely preserved the general appearance of the palace. It is said that the cold palace was not originally a cold palace, but once an inner study prepared by Emperor Taizu for himself. After Taizu's death, there was a fire here that burned all the books collected by Emperor Taizu. After the repair, an unfavored palace concubine lived here. The palace concubine didn't know how to go crazy, and she was imprisoned in the palace and not allowed to be released. This place began to be deserted, until the crazy concubine died, and this place naturally became a cold palace.

The cold palace is very dilapidated, but although the palace gate is old, it is very intact. This door is made of solid wood, which is the same material as the pillars that support the palace, and is not easily eaten by insects and is difficult to decay.

"Mother, do you really want to go in?" Xinghong asked. This cold palace gave her a bad feeling, and it felt gloomy, as if there were ghosts hidden in it.

"Get in." After Lan Xiaoyou finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost blocking the road, and I don't know how many bugs or other creatures were hidden in the grass. As soon as the four of them walked by, they were startled by a mouse jumping from one end of the grass to the other, which frightened the two little palace maids with pale faces.

"You are waiting for this palace at the door." Lan Xiaoyou saw the reaction of the two little palace maids, gave an order, and walked into the grass by himself. She couldn't be more familiar with this grass, the weeds in this yard in her previous life were more dense than now, at that time she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping to leave the cold palace, so she slowly cleaned up the cold palace alone, and spent seven days pulling out some of the weeds and sorting out a road. Who knows, those weeds ended up being her rations. There was no one to give her food, so she had to eat grass to ensure that she would not starve to death.

Xinghong followed behind Lan Xiaoyu and did not stay at the door. She grew up in the countryside as a child, and ran wildly in the fields and mountains all day long, and saw so many rats and insects that she could not be frightened. For the two little palace maids, Xinghong gave a look of contempt.

Lan Xiaoyou walked step by step, to the place where she died in her previous life, where there were only weeds and bugs, and there were no traces of blood. But Lan Xiaoyou seemed to see the picture of his bright red staining the ground......

"Hehe......" Lan Xiaoyou couldn't help laughing, and then the laughter got louder and louder, and the crazy laughter startled the other three.

"Niangniang...... "Xinghong hugged Lan Xiaoyou worriedly, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lan Xiaoyou slowly stopped laughing, and his face became extremely cold: "Don't worry, this palace is fine, there is no gain or loss, and there is no possession of ghosts." ”

"Uh......" Xinghong shrunk her neck, and her thoughts were seen by her master. What's that, the master's behavior after entering the door is really abnormal, that's why she thinks about it! ...
