Chapter 12: The Peach Tree
Recently, I have a thing in my heart, I brought from Kunlun that the peach tree branch planted in the Wangshui Pavilion has sprouted branches, I think that there is also a peach orchard in the heavenly palace, it is because I pondered to transplant it over, I strayed into the peach orchard that day, the peach orchard is not guarded by the immortal guard, I also later learned that the peach orchard is a new boundary opened up after Rong He ascended the throne, and each peach tree was planted by his own hands.
When I knew about this, I felt that Rong He was really a good match for me, I was a bird who grew up eating peaches, and my name was also quite related to peaches. When I was digging out the branches of the peach tree and preparing to go to the peach orchard, I happened to meet Siya Shenjun on the way.
After I got drunk in his palace that day, I still ran into him for the first time in these days, and when he saw that I was still the same hanger, he laughed at me as soon as he opened his mouth: "Have you fallen out of favor, why did the emperor start letting you do these hard work?"
I was in a very good mood, but when I heard his words, I became angry: "I thought that we had reconciled the last time we drank and enjoyed the flowers together! I don't want you to be so stingy and still talk so thorny!"
He said: "I also said that we would enjoy the flowers together, and you would be drunk before the epiphany bloomed, which is not considered to be the same appreciation, right?"
I thought about it too, and then I remembered Rong He hugging me again, but I didn't know anything at the time, and now I met my boss Ye Shenjun, and I said to him with curious and gossipy eyes: "Did Rong Hexian come to take me back that day, what did he say when he came?"
It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said this, he gave me a blank look: "I'm a night fairy, I said that I trusted your blessing, and let the Emperor of Heaven come to my remote place, the Emperor of Heaven only thought that I was drunk with you, and gave me a good meal!"
After listening to it, although I felt that Si Ye Shenjun was quite pitiful, so I smiled and saluted him, and I not only felt happy to see Rong He, but I also felt very happy to hear others talk about him.
When he saw that I was smiling, he said, "Don't laugh, you're smiling a little bit." Then he asked, "Where are you going with this peach tree?"
I said, "I'm going to transplant this little tree into the peach orchard, and I won't talk to you more." With that, I saluted and left, leaving him behind me and watching my back disappear around the corner of the road.
I last time here after a rain peaches grow very well, one by one oily and slippery, I found a remote area, dug a pit, carefully buried the roots in it, and then used soil to protect the roots tightly, I kicked a gourd in my arms, the gourd contained the water of the Tianhe River, after watering the water I also talked to it for a while, stood up and prepared to leave, only to find that Rong He was behind me, I don't know how long I looked at me.
I said happily: "Rong Hexian, why are you here." ”
The smile on his face remained unchanged: "I didn't see you when I returned to Chonghua Palace, and I probed your breath, so I came to look for you." ”
I said, "You are busy with affairs, so it is easy to get free, why don't you rest in the temple and wait for me to come back." ”
His smile was less than two points and said: "If I am alone in the palace, Zhiyu will always not leave in front of me, and it will be very noisy." ”
I suddenly remembered the peach tree I had transplanted, so I stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and pulled him to the peach tree and said: "This is the peach branch I brought from Kunlun, I planted it in the Wangshui Pavilion before, but now I don't go back for a long time, I can't rest assured, I know that this peach orchard is yours, borrow your place for a use, let it grow up here." ”
Rong He looked at the small tree and said, "When it grows up and blooms the first handful of peach blossoms, can Ah Yu come and enjoy it with me?"
I looked at my peach tree with him: "Then I'll cut a peach blossom and go back and insert it in that glass bottle in your dormitory, okay?"
When I was about to let go of my grip on his sleeve, he grabbed me with his backhand, his palm dry and warm, just strong enough not to hurt me, but not to let me break free easily. I heard the sound of the wind in my ears, and the sound of my own heartbeat, Rong He didn't speak, but I felt what eternity, soul, and love were from the peace at this moment, but in the next moment, I didn't think about anything anymore, only felt the temperature of Rong He's palm.
On the way back, we walked side by side, I wanted to ask for a few peaches to come back, but the atmosphere at that time was too unsuitable for me to open my mouth to Rong He, how could I be with others in one second, and the next second I was thinking about other people's peaches.
After we entered the hall, Zhiyu was waiting in the hall, her face could not hide the joy, she placed a golden silk birdcage in front of her, and covered the cage with a dark handkerchief, she walked over happily, and saluted Rong He: "I heard that my cousin seems to like firebirds, I asked my father to search for some time in the lower realm, and found one, and I came to present it to my cousin." ”
So saying, she lifted the dark veil, and a young bird covered in red was in the cage of golden wire, and when it saw a little light, it spewed a flame from its beak, which startled me a lot.
Rong He was a little surprised and said: "This firebird is hard to find, you have a heart." ”
The first time I saw a bird that could spit fire from its mouth, I was very curious, Zhiyu got Rong He's praise, overjoyed, followed Rong He into the hall, found a place to hang the bird cage, I also followed her to see the young bird, Rong He still sat in front of the bookcase, Zhiyu placed the firebird, and went to Rong He's desk, as if he wanted to help him study ink, Rong He interrupted her with words: "This little thing about serving ink doesn't bother my cousin." ”
Zhiyu didn't feel embarrassed, so he said: "It's the beginning of autumn now, I see that the lotus should be the last handful, I'll go pick two with morning dew, and cook porridge for my cousin tomorrow, Zhiyu retreated first." ”
After Zhiyu left, Rong He saw that I was still studying the firebird with great interest, and he didn't mean to go to him at all, so he called me: "Ah Yu, come here." ”
Although I had been looking at the firebird just now, I had heard a little bit of what they said, so I moved a small stool to sit down next to Rong He and asked him, "Rong Hexian, Princess Zhiyu seems to like she loves you very much." ”
He looked at me twice, but did not answer my words, but only said, "It's good for you to study ink for me." ”
Then I gave him an hour of ink, he looked at the bamboo slips beside him, until I fell asleep, he put down his chores, and looked at my sleeping face intently, as if thoughtful, after a while, he picked me up and put me on the bed, and then sat on the edge of the couch and looked at me.
The sky was getting dark, the pearls in the hall were lit up, and the immortal attendants closed the door for Rong He.
I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up, I found that I was not in my room, and when I looked closely, I found that this was Rong He's bedroom, and I slept in his bed.
I got off the bed and saw Rong He sitting on the bookcase, with his right hand on his head as if he was asleep, and in front of him there was a brocade box that seemed to be a foot long carved rosewood.
The action of my getting up woke Rong He, and when he saw me standing not far from him, he first closed the brocade box in front of him, and then asked me, "When did you wake up?"
That Huahui instantly closed with the brocade box, I watched his movements, there was something strange in my heart, I didn't have time to think about what it was like, Rong He had already put away the brocade box and walked to me, and asked, "But do you feel hungry?"
I put my hands on my stomach and said, "I'm hungry." ”
He opened the door of the temple and went out, and came back after a while, followed by an immortal attendant, and the jade plate in the immortal attendant's hand contained three immortal peaches.
It turned out that he knew that I wanted to ask him for peaches, and I was a little moved: "How do you know that I want to eat peaches?" ”
He pushed the jade plate in front of me: "When you came out of Taoyuan today, your longing was written on your face, which was hard to ignore. ”
I pursed my lips, feeling a little embarrassed: "So my expression is so obvious?"
He smiled, "It's really obvious, Gardenia. ”
