In the spring, everything recovers, the plants and trees are growing buds one after another, the crape myrtle tree is still the same as before, the old monk is still standing up to the still dry tangled branches, let the red dust and purple willows fly wildly, unmoved.

But in the spring of six years ago, the crape myrtle tree suddenly woke up a few months early, sprouted rapidly, gave birth to leaves, pulled out slender branches, and the buds hung on the branches one after another.

The fragrance of crape myrtle fills the garden, and before you know it, the sun begins to set in the west, and suddenly the clouds in the west become gorgeous and colorful, purple, rose, and golden...... The beauty produced by mixing together is really indescribable, the sunset climbs over the courtyard wall and casts on the crape myrtle tree, the glow is shining, and the palace is full of spring.

The crape myrtle buds in the palace are in a variety of forms, and the prince's mansion at this time is very busy from morning to night.

It's been a day, the palace people are coming in and out of the inner hall, basins of blood and water are brought out of the inner hall, the prince is shocked to see, the princess's screams continue, and the prince has no patience to wait. Regardless of the taboo, he rushed to the delivery room, and was begged for mercy by Mama Zhao and Wen Po, blocking the prince from entering the delivery room. Mama Zhao trembled her legs; "Lord Wang, you are a golden body, and you can't see blood."

The prince lost his usual stability, and said hurriedly: "You tell this king, why is the pain so bad from the early morning attack to now, and the princess is not alive, it is not that you are not attentive." ”

Wen Po was so frightened that she kowtowed: "Lord, the old slave doesn't dare, lend a hundred dares to the old slave, and the old slave doesn't dare to serve the princess inconsiderately!" In fact, it is very hard for women to give birth to children, and it is not yet time, when the time comes, the melons will naturally ripen, and the old slave will use his life to guarantee that the princess will give birth to a little prince or a little princess without incident, please wait for the good news outside the hall with peace of mind. ”

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the princess Jiren has her own natural appearance, and the slave also asks the prince to take care of his body, but you haven't entered a drop of water for a day."

The big housekeeper Fu Bo came over and looked worriedly at the figure of his prince pacing back and forth for a day, and comforted worriedly. The meals on the table next to him have been changed for the fourth time, but the prince didn't even take a look, how can this work?!

"Withdraw, it's all a day, where can this king eat! Pull it down, don't prepare anymore! ”

waved his hand irritably, the prince, who had always been calm and calm, was anxious at this time, and his resolute face was full of worry.

The prince turned around and walked straight out of the hall, and Fu Bo hurriedly followed.

The prince crossed the carved threshold and stopped at the cloister, only to see the crape myrtle trees on both sides of the path leading to the outside of Qixuan Hall were vibrant. In particular, a crape myrtle tree bonsai in the courtyard is unique, it has grown dense leaves, and after two steps, I am even more surprised to find that there are flower bones, small and tender, neatly arranged on slender branches, stretching down obliquely. Look closely, even the middle of a red flower slightly smiling face, white, purple, rouge, peach flower bones tightly around it, forming a garland shape, very chic, from a distance like many butterflies around the flowers are dancing,

The prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and he squatted down and looked at the "smiling face" silently.

Fu Bo also discovered the vision and said happily: "Congratulations to the prince, the crape myrtle blooms early, which is a good omen."

When crape myrtle flowers are in full bloom, they are prosperous, which means that the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the crape myrtle tree is known as the "national tree", which is the favorite tree of the emperor's relatives and princes and nobles, and the crape myrtle is known as the "national flower". The prince planted the crape myrtle tree as a mascot, but he never saw the crape myrtle flowers budding in May.

Usually when spring arrives, the crape myrtle tree grows into tender green leaves, which look like four large green umbrellas blocking out the sunlight from a distance. A gust of wind blows gently, and the leaves of the crape myrtle tree ripple as if dancing. Another gust of wind blows, and the leaves dance more cheerfully and beautifully.

Summer is coming, the crape myrtle tree has a small stamen, the stamen is green with red, after a month, the small stamens become a delicate flower, no one will believe that within a month, an inconspicuous stamens will become a generous and elegant flower, this flower is called crape myrtle flower.

Crape myrtle is a summer flower, usually the crape myrtle tree blooms in August, the Ming Dynasty Xue Hui's poem vividly describes the characteristics of crape myrtle: "Crape myrtle blooms the longest, rotten ten years." Summer is more than autumn, new flowers continue to branch, Chu Yun lightly covers Ran, and Shu brocade is broken. Lying under the window of the mountain, it is still worthy of this phoenix pond. "But this year, it was in May ahead of schedule, and the crape myrtle buds also showed signs of flowering. The vision is astonishing.

"Look, Lord, the crape myrtle is blooming." The prince looked at the housekeeper's hand, and it was strange that the crape myrtle flowers in the courtyard opened in an instant.

The crape myrtle tree is full of small flowers that crowd the branches, and the branches that grow diagonally upwards fall out of the arc, contrasting with the green leaves below, and the crape myrtle tree blooms. The greenish, oval leaves are dotted with clusters of petite, pale pink crape myrtle flowers. The crape myrtle flowers in the courtyard are blooming under the shroud of the glow and clouds. The crape myrtle tree is like a fairy descending to earth, the pale pink flowers are like streamers in the hands of fairies, and the pale yellow stamens are like decorations on the fairy's body. The crape myrtle flowers in the sunset are so beautiful!

Fu Bo was pleasantly surprised: "Look, Lord Wang, this plate of crape myrtle flowers is even more interesting, the old slave has lived this age, and he has never seen such a gorgeous crape myrtle flower." ”

The prince lowered his eyes and took a closer look, the red flower in the middle of the crape myrtle tree in the courtyard bloomed in the wind, blooming a red flower as big as the mouth of the cup, and there was a pale yellow stamen hidden in the flower, like a shy girl's ruddy face, white, purple, rouge, and peach flowers surrounded it, looking from afar, the gorgeous and colorful crape myrtle flowers were all over the small tree, like a curtain full of crystals, it was really beautiful!

The prince was surprised! Turning his eyes to the housekeeper: "Take this bonsai to the house and plant it well, and at the same time don't let the house chew the root of the tongue, you know what to do." ”

"Lord, I understand, the old slave knows what to do." The housekeeper solemnly saluted the prince, and then withdrew to arrange the security matters in the house.

Suddenly, a baby's cry of "Wow......" broke the silence of the palace.

"Prince, prince, born, princess born!" The sound of running footsteps behind him was accompanied by a shout of surprise that interrupted the prince's contemplation.

The prince hurriedly turned around, and the housekeeper Fu Bo had already run in front of him.

"Congratulations to the prince, the princess has given birth, the mother and son are safe, and she is a little county lord!"

Hearing the good news from the housekeeper, the prince couldn't wait to rush to the inner hall before he could answer.

Seeing that the prince was so excited, the housekeeper was also excited.

God bless, the princess has finally overcome the difficulties and successfully gave birth to the little princess!

In the inner hall, behind the screen, in the Ayaluo tent, a fairy-looking woman, at this time her sideburns were messy, a pink hibiscus face was pale and bloodless, a few strands of green silk were wet and stuck to her forehead with sweat, her beautiful eyes were closed, and her plump lips were covered with deep tooth marks, dried with traces of blood.

"Concubine Jing."

The prince stepped forward distressedly, gently held the woman's Rouyi on the bed, and called softly.

Seeing this scene, Wen Po, who had just finished cleaning the baby and came out of the back room with swaddling clothes, stepped forward to give the baby girl in her arms, and said with a smile:

"The prince is relieved, the princess is fine, the princess is blessed with a high star, and she gave birth to the county lord smoothly, but now she is just too tired and asleep."

Hearing Wen Po speak, the prince turned around and saw the swaddling clothes in Wen Po's arms, and quickly got up and took the baby girl with a happy face, this is his daughter, he wants to take a good look.

"Congratulations to the prince! Congratulations to the Lord! It's a beautiful little princess! ”

Wen Po hunched her waist and squeezed out a sneer: "Congratulations to the prince, the county lord is born with a fragrant body, and he must be a rich and noble person." ”

"Lord, let me see." At this time, the prince looked at the baby girl in his arms, with a pampered face, Lang Lang smiled and carefully handed the swaddling clothes to the princess who had just woken up and took a nap.

"Look at this little elf, how pretty! When you grow up, you must be as beautiful as you! The prince couldn't help laughing.

The princess was holding the baby girl in her arms, her tired big eyes were clear and shining, what a pink-carved child! The little face as white as jade, the pink and watery spirit, the long and curled eyelashes, the small nose, and the red little mouth, this is their county lord!

"What name did the prince give to the county lord?"

The prince looked at the baby girl who seemed to be sleeping sweetly, lowered his head, and gently kissed the baby's tender pink cheeks.

Their daughter, he will definitely protect it well, and he will protect it for the rest of his life! The prince swore secretly in his heart!

Raising his face, the prince's bright eyes looked at Concubine Jing: "Princess, the crape myrtle flowers in the courtyard are blooming." The garden is full of fragrance, and our daughter was born with a beautiful appearance, elegant and vulgar fairy, so she took the name crape myrtle, okay? ”

Hearing the prince's words, the princess's eyes suddenly lit up, and the crape myrtle flowers really bloomed! This is auspicious!

A faint fragrance of purple flowers came out from the county lord, and the house was full of incense, the prince and princess were overjoyed, and the princess couldn't help but chant with joy: "The clean body and self-love are full of red, and the dazzling roulette wheel hangs on the spike peak." There is a master in the hundred days of loneliness, and the coquettish leader is heroic. ”

"Good! Our county lord is called Nan Ziwei. ”
