Chapter 112: Donglin Garden

Donglin Garden is located in the east of the outer city, close to the suburbs of Beijing, it is rumored that the mother of the country likes flowers, the founding ancestor set the capital of the capital after this place is zoned here as the royal garden, and send special people from all over the country to transport the flowers of the four seasons, supplemented by special people to take care of carefully, to ensure that you can see the grand occasion of different colors all year round.

And this move is also one of the few things that the saint has done today, and in the early days of preparation, it was criticized a lot, but after the completion of this Donglin Garden, the people who have seen it are all amazed.

Over time, it was said that Donglin Garden is the first garden in the world, which attracted countless literati and ink writers, but the royal gardens are generally not open to the public, which makes this royal garden more and more outrageous, so that countless literati are proud to enter Donglin Garden once.

Shen Ling'er took Nie Yun and walked quickly all the way to the east of the city, and it only took ten minutes to come to the gate of the garden.

This time, the tall and mighty Imperial Forest Army did not stop Nie Yun with an iron halberd, but asked Nie Yun if he had an invitation in a gentle tone.

After all, His Majesty held a banquet of heroes this time, and all the talents from all walks of life who have been successful in their respective fields under the age of thirty have been here, although the age in front of him seems to be a little younger, but it is always right to be careful.

Nie Yun took out the gold-inlaid invitation that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it over, and then the Imperial Forest Army carefully checked and checked it for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then respectfully returned the invitation to Nie Yun.

"Nie Yun... Elder, please come in. ”

The Forester waved his hand as he spoke.

Da!

I saw that the Royal Forest Army behind him was suddenly divided into two columns, and the iron halberd in his hand was erected on the solid bluestone ground with a neat crisp sound.

Worthy of being the guard of the Son of Heaven, Nie Yun nodded silently, and then walked towards the interior of the garden with Shen Ling'er.

As soon as I walked into Donglin Garden, a refreshing plum fragrance came to my nose, and when I looked at it, the garden was white and swayed slightly in the cold wind, quietly blooming.

It would be nice if it snowed a little at this time, and it would be quieter. Nie Yun sighed secretly in his heart.

Because of the Qionghua banquet, at this time, Donglin Yuan is not full of people, but the small chatter and laughter continues, although His Majesty the Emperor has not yet arrived, but everyone has spontaneously started to socialize, after all, those who can come to this Qionghua banquet, in a sense, are all talents personally recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, and there is always some benefit to building a good relationship in advance.

"My lord, can you show me your invitation card and let me see it?" A maid Tingting, who was standing at the door and was in charge of entertaining, walked over, half-squatted down and saluted Nie Yun Yingying: "I'll lead you into the seat." ”

"Absolutely." Nie Yun smiled slightly and handed over the gold-inlaid invitation.

The palace maid carefully checked the golden invitation card in her hand, and then the smile on her face became even worse, and her jade arm stretched out lightly: "Elder Nie Yun, please follow me." ”

Nie Yun nodded slightly, and slowly followed with Shen Ling'er.

"Now in the depths of winter, the plum blossoms in the Donglin Garden are in full bloom, and the position of the adults is a good place to enjoy the plum blossoms." The palace maid said with a smile as she led Nie Yun through the winding corridor.

"Uh... That's good. Facing the conversation of the palace maid, Nie Yun was obviously a little uncomfortable, so he could only deal with it casually, but Shen Ling'er obviously didn't think so, and didn't admit it:

"Sister, I heard that this Donglin Garden was specially built by His Majesty for the queen's mother, is it true?"

"A lot of people have asked that." The palace maid smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Although this matter is strictly speaking, it is a private matter of His Majesty, but His Majesty has not thought of hiding anything, so it is not a secret." ”

"Wow, the queen is so happy." Shen Ling'er's beautiful eyes were shining.

"Yes, Your Majesty really loves the queen." The palace maid still maintained that friendly smile, but the trace of envy in her eyes was real.

When His Majesty built Donglin Yuan, he had just opened the country, and it was a time when a hundred wastes were waiting to be rebuilt, but with a wave of his hand, he simply suppressed all the objections, and made such a move to work hard and hurt money, just to win the queen's smile.

Even the maid herself felt that this was quite a bit of the famous faint monarch of the ancient Zhou Dynasty who smiled for the Pomeranians, and the taste of the princes of the Beacon Opera, let alone others.

What's more, during that time, the situation was initially decided, the society was still unstable, and with the help of some well-intentioned people, rumors spread for a while. Like what died Da Yue, and the tone of Da Qian, came again, abounded.

However, the emperor only punished those with ulterior motives, and accepted the verbal criticism of the literati and writers.

It is only in recent years that no one has gradually used this matter to attack His Majesty the Emperor.

Because he has used more than ten years of hard work to govern and sealed everyone's mouths with this unprecedented prosperous era!

With the wisdom and martial arts of this founding ancestor, wouldn't he know that forcibly preparing for the construction of Donglin Yuan would cause opposition from the court, social unrest, and even spurning by historians?

Of course he knew, but he didn't care, he just wanted his queen to be happy, but he didn't want to be ashamed of the country he had laid down, the soldiers who supported him, and the people who helped and worshiped him, so he gave up almost all of his rest time in the past ten years to create a prosperous world for all those who believed in him!

A mediocre emperor who does not love the country but loves beauty, a hard-working and honest founding ancestor, the two emperors who should be incompatible are perfectly integrated in this great Qiansheng ancestor, which makes people not only not feel a little abrupt, but instead produce a kind of admiration from the heart.

"Then why did Your Majesty marry so many concubines?" Shen Ling'er tilted her head slightly, her white jade fingers on the side of her red lips, innocent and innocent.

“... Slaves and maids don't have much to say about these things. The smile on the face of the palace maid stiffened slightly, and then said: "Slave, I can only tell you that after His Majesty established the Great Cadre, he never accepted any concubines. ”

"That..."

Seeing that Shen Ling'er looked like she didn't know what to do and was about to continue asking, Nie Yun hurriedly pulled Shen Ling'er's sleeve, ignored Shen Ling'er's ruddy mouth, and smiled awkwardly at the palace maid:

"The apprentice is not sensible, don't take it to heart, girl."

"Apprentice?" The palace maid's tone rose slightly, but she instantly realized her gaffe, and hurriedly coughed lightly: "Ahem, it doesn't matter, the adult apprentice is very cute." ”

While the two were talking, they had unconsciously passed through the winding corridor and came to a desk, Nie Yun looked around slightly, the desk was divided into two columns, his desk was neither too far in front nor too far behind, and in the center of the two rows of desks was a vacant singing and dancing venue, not far below was the murmuring river that had not yet frozen, and in the distance was the plum fragrance forest.

"My lord, this is your place, if nothing else, the slave will go first." The palace maid squatted down slightly.

"Okay."

As Nie Yun nodded lightly and the palace maid turned around, Shen Ling'er finally couldn't hold it back, and her small mouth pursed slightly.

"Your Majesty loves the queen so much, why do you want to marry so many concubines."

"You can inquire about the emperor's private affairs casually, you don't want to die, other people's maids still want it." Nie Yun shook his head helplessly: "And you ask me, I ask who to go, I am not a roundworm in a human stomach." ”

"Then does Master think that His Majesty loves the queen?" Shen Ling'er's mouth deflated slightly, and then asked.

"It's love." Nie Yun replied without thinking too much.

If you don't love a king of great talent, how can he do such an irrational and mediocre act?

"Then the master thinks, does Your Majesty love other concubines?"

"..."A few black lines popped out of Nie Yun's head, how do I know...

Shen Ling'er didn't listen to Nie Yun's response, and still said to herself: "If Your Majesty loves the queen, then why would he marry someone else, isn't love one-on-one?" ”

Seeing that the girl in front of him was about to fall into adolescent love troubles, the corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly, but he still felt that he should have this obligation to protect a girl's beautiful fantasy of love... Although he himself does not understand very well.

As soon as he thought of this, Nie Yun coughed lightly: "Ling'er, you must know that a founding emperor needs to unite all forces, or deepen the connection between himself and his subordinates, and harmony is a good way." ”

"You mean Your Majesty married those concubines for this?" Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up slightly.

Ahem, I didn't say that, you guessed it yourself. Nie Yun said secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a meaningful smile.

Shen Ling'er seemed to think of something, and her eyes darkened again: "Eh, no, isn't that right, doesn't Your Majesty love the country and the beauty more?" ”

"Uh... Maybe the queen mother knew that Her Majesty had great ambitions, and..." Nie Yun's eyes blinked, looking indescribable.

"O~"

Seeing Shen Ling'er's eyes shining, she nodded suddenly with realization, and then suddenly laughed inexplicably... The corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly, I didn't say anything, it was all Ling'er's own thoughts...

Just as Nie Yun was secretly slandering himself, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Elder Nie Yun, you're here."

Nie Yun turned his head to look, and the person who came was wearing a dark red robe, tall and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked like he was about thirty years old.

"Elder Qigu." Nie Yun was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "You are here too." ”

"Hey, don't mention it, I was thinking that I was just thirty this year, and I was already the oldest batch at this Qionghua banquet, and I didn't want to come." Elder Qi Gu spread his hands helplessly: "But Elder Shen Dan said that you may not necessarily go, then our Alchemist Association will have no other people in the town, so he pushed me over." ”

“... What kind of venue does His Majesty want to hold the Qionghua Banquet? Nie Yun scratched his head a little embarrassed, and decisively changed the topic.

"Hey, you don't understand this, do you?" Elder Qi Gu smiled and waved his hand: "Your Majesty's prosperous era is not only the prosperity of the people, living and working in peace and contentment, he wants the people of the world to know that his prosperous era is a prosperous life from all walks of life, and it is a grand occasion that has never appeared before. ”

"And our Alchemist Association can't go backwards after more than ten years."
