Zhaozong was concentrating, and suddenly there was a faint fragrance from his nose, and when he looked up, Li Lin didn't know when he came in, holding a large bouquet of blooming peach blossoms in his arms, and smiling beside the file. The human face is like a flower, and it is truly beautiful.

Zhaozong stopped writing and smiled: "You girl, when you came in, I didn't even notice it." ”

Li Lin sneered while inserting the peach blossoms into the vase: "Father only has these boring folds in his eyes, and he can't help but live up to a little spring." Saying goes. There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches. If the father doesn't go to the garden, these flowers will feel wronged. ”

Zhaozong said with a smile: "It's very boring to watch the excerpts for a long time, so let's accompany me to the garden for a walk." ”

Li Lin said with a smile: "My daughter is grateful for those flowers." ”

Zhaozong smiled and stepped into court.

The new willows are shady, the peaches and plums are fragrant, and the spring is really full of spring.

Zhaozong sighed: "I remember that it was still snowy a few days ago, and I didn't think of a few days, but I didn't realize that it was spring. ”

Li Lin said with a smile: "Speaking of scenery, although the imperial garden is good, it is a royal garden, and the beautiful scenery piled up is not as natural as the natural charm." My daughter remembered that a few years ago, she went to Luoyang and saw peonies planted in front of every house, which was really the best peony in Luoyang. ”

Zhaozong said with a smile: "The most is the true national color of the peony, and the capital moves when the flowers bloom." At that time, Emperor Zetian deprecated the peony out of Beijing, so Chang'an was not as prosperous as the eastern capital. If Lin'er likes it, I will ask people to enjoy more in the imperial garden. ”

Li Lin smiled: "Actually, there is no need to bother. When it comes to appreciating peonies, there is a good place in Chang'an City. ”

Zhaozong looked sideways: "Huguo Temple? ”

Li Lin shook his head and smiled: "If it is a peach blossom, the countdown to Huguo Temple is the best, when it comes to peonies, my daughter is not convinced." ”

Zhaozong smiled: "In this way, I have to listen to you." ”

Li Lin folded a peach blossom in her hand, thoughtfully: "Last summer, my daughter went to the Ten Princes' Mansion to visit the royal brother, and happened to pass by Xinghua Lane, but saw a garden that was very exquisite. I heard that there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted in it, especially peonies, which are very rare and rare to be admired, but they have no chance to see them. Li Lin sighed, looking very regretful.

Zhaozong pondered: "You're talking about the Qi Palace." The king of Qi in the previous dynasty was beheaded because of his participation in the rebellion, and the house was empty for many years. I heard that King Qi favored the princess, and flowers were planted all over the house, so as to smile with a red face. ”

Li Lin smiled and said: "My daughter fell in love at first sight, please give it to the princess's mansion." ”

Zhaozong looked at Li Lin and confirmed that she was not joking.

Li Lin restrained her smile: "My daughter is serious." ”

Zhaozong frowned: "This house is unlucky, I will choose another treasure land to build a princess's mansion for you." ”

Li Lin said coquettishly: "My daughter likes this place. ”

Zhaozong shook his head and said: "This mansion has been in disrepair for many years and is dilapidated, how can it be a princess's mansion!" ”

Li Lin knelt down and said: "It's just more wild grass, and a little repair is a gorgeous mansion." The daughter loves Yusi, and asks the father and the emperor to invite the daughter. ”

Zhaozong was helpless: "I promise you to be." ”

Li Lin was overjoyed: "Thank you, father." ”

Zhaozong said: "I have allocated a sum of silver to repair it, maybe it is really a beautiful princess's mansion." ”

Rushuang secretly wondered beside him: Xinghua Lane again?

Two

Qingming, Xiao Zhou Mountain. The bamboo forest is verdant, and the weeds are like weaving.

Li Lin stood in front of a new grave, silent.

Although it is a tomb, it is extremely exquisitely repaired, and it is obvious that the owner has put a lot of thought into it.

The blue bricks are paved with green jade, and the good green jade stone incense case is followed by the rising tomb, and there is a stele in front of the tomb: "The tomb of the beloved wife Shen's Qingluo".

Li Lin gently touched the tombstone.

The neat regular script is a font she is familiar with.

If the guess is correct, what is buried in this grave should be just a few clothes. As for Shen Qingluo, who disappeared, it was a whole unbearable previous life.

Behind the tombstone, there is an inscription:

"Spring comes and goes, people go and have no return, the morning light is extinguished, and dreams are like a cloud. A delicate word, a thousand years of eternal nostalgia, flying souls are searching, and fragrant bones are buried in the dust. The barren fog is dark, who is the neighbor? The spring gate is forever hidden, and there is no morning in the long night. The flowers in late autumn are broken, and the spring laurel is folded. Zhao Se stayed in vain, Qin Xiao was forever, sad and sad to part, and painful to lose my wife. ”

A sneering sneer appeared on Li Lin's lips.

A well-dressed mound, no matter how beautifully repaired, could not erase the sins he committed. A beautiful piece of writing, even if it seems sincere, can hardly hide his hypocrite.

All of this is just for the world to see.

Li Lin bent down and lightly lit a stick of incense.

It's not so much about hanging on oneself as it is about saying goodbye to the past.

Since then, there has only been Li Lin in this world.

Rushuang said softly: "Princess, this place is desolate and not suitable for a long time. ”

Li Lin let out a noncommittal "um" and threw the burned fragrance into the distance.

The incense ashes disappear, as if the soul is scattered.

After walking a long way, she glanced back at the lonely grave.

Bleak and lonely. It was his sad past life.

At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes.

Qingluo, if there is a spirit, please help me avenge you.

Li Lin, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked lightly and hurriedly, looking like an ethereal light mist, walking among the weeds with dewdrops.

If it weren't for the blue sky and white day, it would really be suspicious that people had encountered ghosts.

Therefore, Nanyun, who was walking towards him, couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

A black veiled girl dressed in a pale white skirt with a wide skirt falling behind her, hiding a patch of grass. Her eyes, clear as water, and the cold light shone brightly, quickly glanced at him, and then hurriedly moved away.

Nagumo was stunned.

This is the ancestral tomb of the Nan family, what this woman did?

Li Lin was only concerned about walking, but she stepped on a stone unexpectedly, her body was crooked, and she almost fell.

Rushuang exclaimed.

Nanyun took a step forward and instinctively reached out to hold: "Girl, be careful!" ”

As soon as Li Lin's hand touched his arm, he quickly dodged as if he had knocked down a coal.

Nagumo was a little embarrassed.

"Offended, girl, don't blame." Nanyun said softly.

Through a thin layer of black veil, her crystal skin is faintly visible. It is unbelievable that such a woman suddenly appeared in front of her like a fallout from the sky.

There is no one in the wilderness, only lonely graves.

For a moment, Nanyun felt a chill in his heart: Could it be that he met a ghost?

"Are you a human or a ghost?" He couldn't help but blurt out.

Rushuang chirped: "You are the ghost!" ”

Li Lin frowned slightly.

It is said that the road is narrow. Sure enough.

She didn't expect to meet Nagumo here.

"Sometimes, people are ghosts." She coldly shook off a sentence and walked straight past him.

Nagumo watched her master and servant walk away as if in a dream.

The grass is green, and in a blink of an eye, there is nowhere to find it.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is bright, and it's hard to believe that you meet ghosts in the daytime.

So, is it a fairy?

Rushuang said softly: "Princess, do you know this person?" ”

Li Lin didn't speak.

Is he alone, carrying a bamboo basket, to pay tribute to his father, or his deceased wife?

Suddenly, she wanted to know the answer.

Three

Princess Mansion in Xinghua Lane.

Li Lin stood in the small pavilion and looked out from the railing.

"The villain is the official responsible for repairing the princess's mansion, if there is anything inexhaustible, please ask the princess for guidance." An official bowed beside him.

"According to the princess, the garden has been built to the edge of the wall." The housekeeper Chen Gong is fair.

Li Lin pointed into the distance: "The garden should be as wide as possible, and it should be expanded all the way to the wall." Oh, Grandpa Chen, who is the other side of the wall? ”

Chen Gonggong said: "That private house, the owner's surname is Nan, and it is a big family. ”

The official said: "Princess, Your Majesty has a decree that the expansion of the princess's mansion should not disturb the people, let alone encroach on the people's houses." ”

Li Lin smiled and said: "This palace has no intention of encroaching on private houses, don't misunderstand." ”

Official Nono.

Li Lin squinted her eyes and looked towards the sunny place.

A tall building is majestic, and many craftsmen are busy painting the doors and windows.

"When will it be finished?" Li Lin said slowly: "Is it in time for the peony season?" ”

The official nodded and said, "Don't worry, princess, it will be completed in less than half a month." As the saying goes, climb high and look far away, at that time, the princess will stand in the tall building, and the spring color of the garden can be seen at a glance. ”

Li Lin smiled with satisfaction: "You did a good job." In front of my father, this palace will definitely speak well for you. ”

"Thank you, princess." The official owed: "It's just that there is still a name missing in this building, please consider the princess." ”

"'Phoenix'." Li Lin blurted out.

Chen Gonggong praised: "Good name." The princess is the proud daughter of the sky, the dragon and the phoenix among the people, and she is really a veritable phoenix. ”

Li Lin smiled slightly: "Everyone wants to be a phoenix, but not everyone has such qualifications." ”

"Yes." Officials chimed in.

Li Lin said slowly: "The so-called phoenix was originally a humble bird, so it was not afraid of life and death, and threw itself into the fire in order to experience hardships, be reborn in the fire, grow beautiful feathers, be reborn, and eventually become an immortal bird." Since then, no more suffering has been able to overwhelm her. ”

The officials listened attentively.

Chen Gonggong said: "The slave heard that this is the 'nirvana' of Buddhism and the road to enlightenment. ”

Li Lin's voice was bleak and beautiful: "What you said is right. ”

Four

On the day the princess moved, the carriages and horses of Xinghua Lane spread across the entire street.

Royal wealth is naturally endless luxury. Just Zhaozong's reward loaded a full twelve carts.

Li Lin looked around the glorious hall and sighed, "It's too luxurious." ”

The chief manager, Gonggong Chen, presented a stack of gift lists: "Princess, this is a gift list, please take a look at the princess." ”

Li Lin waved her hand lazily: "I'm too lazy to watch." Tell me who they are. ”

Chen Gonggong said: "In addition to the royal family, there are also celebrities in Beijing, who are nothing more than admiring the princess and making friends." ”

Li Lin admired a coral next to the desk without raising her head: "The master of ceremonies wrote a thank you note for me and put the gift into the warehouse." ”

Gonggong Chen said with a smile: "Other gifts, nothing more than gold and jade jewelry, although precious, there is nothing unusual, there is only one gift, but it is unique, the princess must be seen." ”

Li Lin smiled: "What kind of gift?" ”

Gonggong Chen waved his hand, and the attendant handed over a long piano case.

The piano case opened, and Li Lin's eyes lit up.

A black guqin appeared in front of him, and the most strange thing was the scorched black trace at the end of the piano.

"Scorched Tail!" Li Lin exclaimed.

The legendary four famous pianos, headed by Cai Yi, are the Jiaowei piano made by Cai Yi.

There are Wu people burning tung for salary, Cai Yi happened to pass by, heard the sound of fire, knew its good wood, hurriedly put out the fire to save it, cut it for the piano, its sound is beautiful, become a world-famous piano, because of its scorched tail, also known as Jiaotong.

The attendant carefully placed the guqin on the table.

Li Lin gently stroked the strings, and the sound of pearls and jade immediately filled the hall.

The mountains and flowing water, the Kunshan jade is broken, just like the moonlight, scattered in the world.

Gonggong Chen bowed: "Princess Hexi is also named Qin." This piano is comparable to 'Green Qi'. ”

Li Lin sighed: "Since ancient times, wealth has been born of royalty, and it is really good." The famous piano in the world is enough, how can it be expected to become a pair. ”

She stood up slowly: "Cast it with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao." This thing is too precious to accept it, so let's return it to the owner. ”

Gonggong Chen frowned and said, "This is difficult. The person who gave the gift did not leave a name. ”

Li Lin pondered for a long time.

The princess of Allure is in the boudoir, who does not want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to the famous family in the capital, "Jiaowei" is not easy to get, and it will inevitably cost thousands of gold to get it, so as to dedicate it to her, nothing more than to capture her heart. She didn't leave her name, just to get her interested.

This person, sooner or later, will show up.

"Let's send it to the storeroom." Li Lin said softly: "It's enough for me to have 'Luqi'. ”

It is a real "green qi", not a fake.

thought that at the beginning, she regarded the piano given by Nanyun as a treasure, but it was just a fake that others disliked.

Her heart tingled.

"Grandpa Chen, take me to see the Phoenix Tower." Li Lin said slowly.

"Princess, please." Gonggong Chen smiled and said, "I believe that the princess will be satisfied." Legend has it that the layout of this building was built according to the structure of King Teng's Pavilion. ”

Li Lin smiled: "What this princess likes is just a far-sighted and far-reaching artistic conception, as for the pattern, I don't care." As she walked, she said casually: "The princess will inevitably harass the neighbors when she moves, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you personally choose some gifts and send people to the neighbors to show friendship." ”

Chen Gonggong bowed down and said: "The public is sympathetic to the people, and the neighbors are fortunate." ”

Through the hall and corridor, not long after, come to the Phoenix Building.

Li Lin went upstairs and looked into the distance, smiling slightly: "It's the same as I imagined." ”

Rushuang Ruyi said in surprise: "I can see so far away." You see, the large yellow rape flowers in the distance are so beautiful! ”

Chen Gonggong smiled: "That's the vegetable garden in the west. ”

Li Lin's gaze stayed in the distance: "Who's next door?" ”

The houses are continuous, the courtyard is deep, and everything is the way it was.

"Oh, it's Nanzhai." Chen Gonggong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank the people, in order to expand our garden, they gave us a piece of their own woodland." ”

Li Lin said: "Aren't you bullying people according to the situation? ”

Gonggong Chen smiled: "The slave doesn't dare." When the Nan Xianggong heard that the princess was going to expand the garden, he didn't take a penny, saying that he had a relationship with the princess in Luoyang a few years ago, and he was willing to give it to him, and he had the right to be a congratulatory gift. So gracious, but irreverent. ”

Li Lin frowned: "Really?" How Hongu doesn't remember. ”

Gonggong Chen smiled: "If he hadn't mentioned it again and again, the old slave would have almost forgotten." A few years ago, the princess traveled to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and met Nan Xianggong on the street. ”

Li Lin thought hard. Yes, back then, Nanyun bought a piano from Luoyang.

"And then?" She said nonchalantly.

"It's ridiculous that the 'green qi' he bought with a lot of money is a fake. If it weren't for the princess's outspokenness, he would have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life. Chen Gonggong smiled: "What a nerd." However, he was not unlucky, married the daughter of Shen Wanjin, a wealthy man in the capital, and got half of the Shen family's family business. ”

Li Lin thought silently, it turns out that there is such a story in this.

Li Lin smiled slightly: "It seems that there is such a thing." ”

"That being the case, I deserve to be grateful." She looked at it from afar: "In a few days, when the peony is in full bloom, please bring him to the house to enjoy the flowers." ”

Gonggong Chen sighed: "Presumably he is not in the mood. I heard that Nan Xianggong's wife unfortunately passed away, leaving behind his young son, which is really pitiful. ”

Ruyi interjected: "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence, she and the princess fell into the water on the same day, but not as lucky as the princess." ”

Chen Gonggong reprimanded: "What nonsense! How dare you compare it to a princess! The princess is blessed with the gods, and naturally there is nothing to do. ”

Ruyi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "The slave and maid lost their words, and the crime deserves death." ”

Li Lin smiled and said, "I heard that his second lady is the first beauty in the capital. ”

Gonggong Chen said flatteringly: "What kind of beauty is she, but she has a false name, and in front of the princess of Allure, she is not even worthy of carrying shoes!" ”

"This palace really wants to meet this second lady." Li Lin took off a beaded chain from her wrist: "Add this turquoise bead chain to the gift and tell Nanyun that this is for the second lady." ”
