Chapter 3 The courtyard is deep

In the autumn of the thirty-ninth year of Jiahua

It's another year of cold silence, and another year of autumn.

It has been a year since Zhu Ran came to the palace, but he feels that he does not belong to this huge palace, whether it is his mind or body. Prosperity and solemnity, illustriousness and dignity make her breathless.

The small house birds on the eaves are also chirping in response to the occasion, and the Ruixin Mansion is happily busy up and down, and at this moment only the floating courtyard may be lonely. Because their prince returned from the victory in Mobei, Longyan was happy, and Zhu Heyu was named the prince. If a year ago, Zhu Heyu was just a prince who was not favored by the emperor, and he entered the people's eyes because of his outstanding achievements in three years of training outside the Saiwai and entered the central body of the imperial court, then now he has undoubtedly become a high-ranking person who everyone wants to climb. At this time, Zhu Ran secretly admired his father Zhu Changjun's vision in his heart. Stuffing himself into Zhu Heyu's mansion when he was not yet powerful is undoubtedly the right investment now. It's a pity that Zhu Ran won't go to Zhu Heyu for the sake of Zhuchang County.

Floating Joy Courtyard, floating joy, a moment of pleasure, a lifetime of delay. This is the name Zhu Heyu gave when he left, I don't know if it was reminding her or himself, it was just right to describe her and him, dewy love.

After dinner, Zhu Ran sat at the door and looked at the sky. The sky is far away, I feel like I can't see the edge, and the air is also stretching, "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, I say... Do I say that autumn is better than spring? Zhu Ran asked himself. The wild geese flying south flew into the word "one" in the sky for a while, and the word "person" for a while, and gradually flew out of people's sight, and Zhu Ran felt that his thoughts also flew far, far away.........

"Brother Lu, can you not go", the woman prayed with tears.

The young man took her hand, his eyes were full of burning and pain, and it took a lot of effort before he said, "Ran'er, wait for me, I will definitely come back to marry you!" At last he let go of the woman's hand.

Seeing him dressed in purple and a white horse, he was gradually moving away, still chic, but she couldn't anymore.

Zhu Ran looked at his back, looking at him without blinking, and couldn't bear to leave him, but the man never looked back.

The afterglow of the sky slowly disappeared, and the cold of autumn soaked the whole body, and the heart became cold.

She reassured herself that maybe he would come back, and he made her wait for him. He once said that the sea is dry and rotten, and his true feelings for her remain unchanged.

Lasting...... Zhu Ran's nose was so sour, and the tears couldn't be stopped, flowing down her face, mouth, and heart, it was really bitter, very bitter.

"Madam, why are you crying?" Ruoyi walked over from the house with a cloak, saw that Zhuran's face was full of tears, and asked with concern.

Zhu Ran hurriedly wiped away her tears, Zhu Heyu returned from a great victory, but she cried in the yard and spread to other people's ears, not knowing what would happen.

"I'm fine." Zhu Ran forced a smile.

"It's cold, Madame, pay attention to your body and be careful of catching a cold." If you follow the way of concern.

"Well, help me get up, say hello to the prince tomorrow morning, and now it's time to prepare."

Early the next morning, Shui Xin and Ruoyi began to be busy.

"Madame, which dress are you wearing today?"

A year has passed, and Shui Xin's title of Zhuran has changed from Miss to Mrs.

Zhu Ran looked at the bronze mirror and listened absentmindedly, what she was wearing, how much would Zhu Heyu care about. What's more, a woman is a person who pleases herself, he is not her lover, so what does it matter what she wears.

Ruoyi next to him has always done things safely, and said to Zhu Ran with a smile when he saw this: "Madam, look at this peach-pink ring-shaped skirt, it is neither too gaudy, nor discolored, it is lining your skin, and it looks festive." ”

Looking at this bright peach pink, Zhu Ran fell into memories again......

I remember that it was the second week of coming to Fuzhong, and Zhu Heyu seemed to have forgotten her, and she hadn't been here since the night of drunkenness. Zhu Ran is also happy, she really hopes that Zhu Heyu will forget her, just as if she has never been here, his mansion is so big, as long as she keeps to herself, he will not pay attention, just let her live like this for the rest of her life.

Thinking like this, Shui Xin happily ran in.

"Miss, guess what I found in the south room?" Seeing that Zhu Ran didn't speak, Shui Xin shook Zhu Ran's arm and said coquettishly: "Miss, guess what!" ”

"What can you find, you will know to run around in a day, and I won't bring you if I knew it earlier." Seeing Shui Xin's eagerness, Zhu Ran deliberately didn't say anything.

Shui Xin stuck out his tongue, he couldn't help it, "It's a peach orchard, the peach blossoms in the garden are blooming brightly." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Ran answered quietly.

Seeing that his young lady was not as happy as she imagined, Shui Xin continued: "Miss, don't you like peach blossoms the most, I'll take you to see it!" ”

Shui Xin tugged at Zhu Ran's sleeve and was about to leave.

"This is not a bamboo mansion, you can't talk or do things too casually." Zhu Ran said to Shui Xin. Shui Xin is her personal maid, two years younger than her, the two have grown up together since childhood, and Zhuran has always regarded her as a younger sister. The more I cared, the more I was afraid that she would make a mistake.

"Miss, I looked, there's no one there, you can go! It's beautiful! Shui Xin still pulled her away as if she hadn't heard Zhu Ran's words.

She couldn't stand the water, not to mention that she really wanted to see it. He walked towards the south by the water xin.

"Here it is!" Shui Xin excitedly pointed to the peach orchard in front.

Zhu Ran looked at the situation, a fragrant flower, flowers growing in clusters on the branches, and they were about to bend the peach branches, and they were so luxuriant that they were about to overflow. She already likes peach blossoms, and when she sees such a scene, she unconsciously walks inside.

After the early dynasty, Zhu Heyu was also strolling in the peach orchard, his mind was full of all kinds of things about him and Du Yuyan, and he was depressed. Just thinking about it, when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhu Ran with his back to him, peach-pink clothes, and small figure, which made him think it was Du Yuyan, and he lost his mind.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, you... Are you here? Zhu Heyu called excitedly and affectionately. Zhu Ran was in a trance, and when he heard the voice, he turned around and met his eyes.

For a moment, and then furious, Zhu Heyu grabbed Zhu Ran's neck, and asked in a cold voice, "Who asked you to come here?" ”

Zhu Ran's neck was pinched by him, and he suddenly didn't react for a while.

"Who told you to come here!" Zhu Heyu increased his strength and asked word by word.

"Minister... Concubine... See here... The garden is full of... Peach blossoms, attracted to... Come over" Zhu Ran's face turned red, his eyes looked at him stubbornly, he didn't struggle, but he pinched his neck, and his voice was still intermittent.

Looking at her appearance, Zhu Heyu held back his anger and let go of her.

"Ahem... Cough... cough" Zhu Ran coughed violently, touching his neck with bursts of pain.

"In the future, you are not allowed to wear peach-pink clothes, and you are not allowed to come to this peach forest!"

After speaking, Zhu Heyu left without a meteor. The lingering sound without temperature echoed in this lively peach orchard, extremely discordant.

Touching the distinct finger marks on his neck, Zhu Ran really thought that he was going to strangle himself just now. A burst of grievances was finally blown away by the breeze, Zhu Ran took a deep breath, and smiled at Shui Xin who was standing aside: "It's okay, let's go back." ”

"Well... Okay..."Shui Xin was frightened and staggered after Zhuzhu......

"Madam" saw that Zhuran had not squeaked, and Ruoyi called her softly.

Zhu Ran came back to his senses, found that his hand was still touching his neck, cleared his throat and said, "Well, go and bring that light cyan one, didn't you say before to put away the peach-pink skirt, I won't wear this in the future." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Ruoyi saw that Zhuran's face was very bad, so he responded carefully.

———

On the way to Qingfeng Residence, pass by the gardens of the palace. The autumn wind swept away, and everything withered, but the road was so cleaned that there was no yellow leaf, but chrysanthemums of various colors were placed.

Yes, autumn is the time to enjoy chrysanthemums. Looking at the chrysanthemums of different colors, there is no feeling of being proudly frosty, but it is a little more involuntarily.

Bending down to pick up the yellow chrysanthemum that fell under his feet, Zhu Ran smiled bitterly, maybe he was not the only one who lived so hard in this magnificent mansion.
