Chapter 22: Flower Viewing
In the study of the palace, Shen Li held a brush in his hand and wrote down the word "Mu". He had practiced this character for a long time, and he often wrote it, and as the last stroke fell, he frowned slightly, and rubbed the paper a little irritably.
There was a knock on the door, and after he answered, a man dressed in black walked in.
"How's it going?"
Yu Luo walked to the desk and stood still, glanced at the white paper with the word "Mu" written on the table one after another, and bowed his head and replied: "Imperial Doctor Chen said that the wound is a little deep, but the bleeding has stopped and is fine. In the past few days, let the princess refrain from moving her hands to prevent the wound from cracking, and in addition, she should avoid eating and not getting wet. ”
Hearing this, Shen Li's frowning eyebrows stretched slightly. As if unconsciously sighing, he muttered, "What nonsense." ”
Seeing this, Yuluo couldn't help but call him. It was rare that he had always been cold-hearted, and he took the initiative to say something, but as soon as the word prince came out, he was interrupted by Shen Li's outstretched hand.
"I'm tired, you don't have to say anything, just step back first. ”
The words choked in his throat and swallowed raw, and Yuluo bowed his head in amusement. As soon as he moved, he suddenly remembered something. opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, the Seventh Lord came here again just now. It seems that he should have brought some kind of medicine to the princess. ”
Shen Li snorted coldly, looking displeased. "My seventh brother is becoming more and more rude. It's getting late, and he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion!"
Yuluo shook his head and replied, "He didn't enter the princess's house, so he left after taking the medicine to the princess's personal maid outside." ”
When Shen Li heard this, his face was even worse. "It seems that my seventh brother is really devoted to her. ”
The atmosphere is a little tense, and Yuluo is not stupid. Knowing that Shen Li's mood was already very bad, this topic had to be talked about at this time, God knows what would happen. So he hurriedly retired and walked out of the study.

The next day, Muyan's small courtyard welcomed its first guest early.
Feng Ziying is already petite and cute, and her smile is even more delicate and cute. As soon as Mu Yan saw her, she was in a very good mood. After pulling her to have breakfast together, the two of them chatted with each other.
"Sister, I see that since you moved back to the palace, except for the time when you entered the palace with the prince, it seems that you have never been out of this courtyard, right?"
"Uh......"
Mu Yan was a little ashamed of what he said, and simply admitted that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "Ouch, I'm lazy! This palace is so big, I'm afraid that after I go out, I won't know where the way back is!"
"Hey!"
Feng Ziying was amused, and stood up abruptly and pulled Mu Yan's uninjured hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk today. How boring it is to stay in the yard all day! Sister, don't worry, when you're done shopping, I promise to send you back safely!"
Mu Yan looked at Feng Ziying's sparkling eyes, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to resist. So I had to nod and go with her.
Speaking of which, the Ruiwang Mansion is indeed very large, and the structure and shape of the courtyard are similar, so it is difficult to distinguish which is which. Mu Yan is a road idiot in modern times, living in a city for more than a year, and often taking the wrong bus. Thinking about the bus and the platform signs, she can make mistakes, how can she distinguish between the yard and the road that look similar?
So, it's not that she likes to bask in the sun. It's this place where there is no TV, no computer or even no electricity, and she is afraid of getting lost when she goes out, so she can only stay in the yard and bask in the sun. What I said to Hongluan, I was afraid of being embarrassed. And I don't know if the original owner of this body is a road idiot? If not, she has to think about explaining for a long time. In the end, it's not as comfortable as not to mention.
Now that it's okay, led by Feng Ziying, she can finally come out for a walk. Sure enough, the body is much more comfortable!
Thinking so, the two of them had already arrived at the garden of the palace. Originally, I thought it was very beautiful when I saw that large sea of flowers, but unexpectedly, because of the appearance of a person, this beauty was greatly reduced.
"Yo, what is the wind that has brought our noble princess here?"
Fang Biling said, but her eyes fell on Feng Ziying, who was standing beside Mu Yan. After glaring at her fiercely, he said sarcastically: "Tsk, everyone says Sister Feng is stupid, I see, in fact, you are not stupid at all." Lo and behold, this is known to be flattering. ”
When Feng Ziying heard this, she subconsciously shrank back, as if she was very afraid of her. Mu Yan saw it in his eyes, stepped forward without a trace, smiled slightly, and met Fang Biling's eyes.
"It seems that my gift of meeting with the knife was for nothing, and you forgot the pain so quickly?
When Fang Biling heard this, she subconsciously took a step back, and the two maids behind her supported her, but she was thrown away irritably.
"Mu Yan, I didn't mess with you this time, if you dare to scare me, the prince will not protect you!"
Mu Yan smiled sincerely. "It's not up to you to say whether the prince is covering up or not. Besides, you just had a trouble with him yesterday, and now you want to make trouble again, do you still think he will be good-natured with you? If you really don't mess with me, you should say less, and it is better to keep your mouth shut. Obediently enjoy your flowers and drink your tea. ”
"You-"
Fang Biling and Mu Yan fought for several rounds, all of which ended in failure. In terms of decisiveness and wisdom, she is not an opponent, and in terms of the battle of words, she is not an opponent. So in the end, she could only stomp her feet helplessly, and vented her anger on the poor and innocent maid.
Mu Yan ignored her, and when she got cheap, she naturally had to sell well. The interested ones didn't quarrel with Fang Biling anymore, pulled Feng Ziying over, and enjoyed the flowers happily with her.
Fang Biling was unwilling, and after glancing at the two of them, she picked a flower casually, and said to the maid behind her, "Do you know what kind of flower this is?"
The two maids both shook their heads, and Fang Biling suddenly looked even more nervous.
"Those who are born on land are called wood hibiscus, and those who are born on water are called water hibiscus. Water hibiscus is a lotus, also known as hibiscus. And this flower is the wood hibiscus. The one that has white petals is called white hibiscus. The flower color is pink, and it is called pink hibiscus. It has big red flowers, and the flowers are large and double-petaled, which resemble peonies, and are called red hibiscus. ”
After Fang Biling said this, she glanced at Mu Yan and Feng Ziying again. The tone was so tricky: "This flower appreciation, it also depends on whether that person will appreciate it." If you don't understand anything, the flowers will be wasted. ”
Mu Yan sighed lightly, patted Feng Ziying's hand, and walked to a place to pick a wood hibiscus. After that, he walked back to Feng Ziying's side and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a story." Five generations later, Shu Emperor Meng Chang had a concubine named Mrs. Hua Rui, who was not only charming and charming, but also loved flowers. One year, she went to the flower market, and among the flowers, she saw clusters of hibiscus flowers rolling in the sky like colorful clouds, and she especially liked it. In order to please the concubine, Meng Chang also issued an edict to let people plant hibiscus in the city, which bloomed in autumn and was like splendor. In October of the following year, Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui climbed the city tower together, and watched the red hibiscus flowers that were as bright as the morning glow for dozens of miles. ”
Feng Ziying listened attentively, and Fang Biling lost her voice. Mu Yan smiled and continued: "Later, Hou Shu perished, and Lady Hua Rui was plundered into the harem by Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Mrs. Hua Rui often misses Meng Chang and secretly treasures his portrait to express her longing. After Zhao Kuangyin found out, he forced her to hand over the portrait. But Madame Hua Rui resolutely refused, and Zhao Kuangyin killed her in a fit of rage. Later generations admired Mrs. Hua Rui's unswerving loyalty to love and respected her as the god of hibiscus flowers, so this hibiscus flower is also known as the love flower. ”
