In this kind of late autumn season, Hanxiang Pavilion can be called the most beautiful place in the entire Darong harem.

And the origin of the name of this Hanxiang Pavilion is derived from the more than a dozen tall laurel trees planted in the pavilion.

Trees like this, which mostly grow in the south, are extremely rare in the north, and the varieties of these laurel trees in the Hanxiang Pavilion are even rarer.

Its gray-brown trunk is thick and straight, several feet high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, elegant posture, and evergreen in all seasons.

The real peculiarity of these laurel trees is that although their flowering period is short, less than a month, they are in full bloom in the late autumn season of this northern country.

When the flowers bloom, the rich fragrance wafts around with the cold autumn wind, hence the name Hanxiang.

At this time, September has not passed, and it is in flowering. I saw the light and faint tender yellow flowers hanging all over the branches, the breeze blowing, the flowers fell like rain, and the fragrance floated for ten miles.

The people in the palace couldn't help but be fascinated by this fragrant aroma, and they were eager to see the wonderful beauty of the flowers in full bloom.

How could it be that the Queen Mother has a strict order, and no one is allowed to step into this Hanxiang Pavilion for half a step.

Those who want to see the osmanthus are disappointed, and they can't help but whisper in private.

At this time in previous years, Hanxiang Pavilion can also let people sneak in to have a look, and by the way, pick up some osmanthus flowers to make wine or make delicious snacks. Why is it suddenly so strict this year, even if you look inward, you will be immediately driven away by the guards guarding the door?

As a result, there is no impermeable wall in the end. Soon, an astonishing news spread through the palace.

It turned out that at some point, a stunning woman with the appearance of a heavenly man had lived in the Hanxiang Pavilion. And she is the future queen chosen by the Queen Mother for His Majesty the Emperor of Darong.

Although this unconfirmed news was quickly suppressed by the Queen Mother with an iron fist, it was not further spread outside the palace. But in doing so, it has made those in the know more convinced of this statement.

Before the current Rong Emperor Yu Wengang ascended the throne, he was the fourth prince of the Rong State. Because he concentrated on martial arts and led troops outside all the year round, the back house in the house was empty, with only one concubine and two concubines.

And that concubine unfortunately died of illness two years ago. Yu Wengang has never married a new princess.

Until she ascended the throne, the queen mother was in charge and selected a group of noble-born, virtuous and dignified girls, and enriched the harem for the new emperor.

But maybe among these girls, there is no one who really makes the Queen Mother very fond of her, so the highest ranking among them is just a concubine.

And the position of queen of the main palace has been vacant.

Now, this Xiangjun girl who looks like a heavenly fragrance suddenly appeared, and she was also arranged by the Queen Mother to live in Hanxiang Pavilion, the most secluded and charming place in this harem. And the most critical point is that this Hanxiang Pavilion is also next to the Kunning Palace where the Queen Mother lives.

From this point of view, the news about the queen's choice should not be groundless.

The people in the palace were shocked and curious, and they all wanted to know what the origin of this Xiangjun girl who seemed to have fallen from the sky.

It's a pity that no one can say a reason for this. Even the eldest palace maid Ziwei girl, who had been waiting by the Queen Mother's side, didn't know the secret.

At this moment, this crape myrtle girl was standing in the Hanxiang Pavilion, in a very hidden and secluded corner, looking at the mysterious woman who was sitting quietly by the pool with her extremely delicate eyes.

Hua Xiangjun has been sitting by the pool for a long time.

After a few days of recuperation, her body has gradually recovered, and she can walk around the back garden of this Hanxiang Pavilion for a while without help.

And what she likes most is to sit under the willow tree by the small pond in the back garden, and spend half a day quietly.

It was early afternoon at the moment, and the warm autumn sun shone on her slightly pale face, adding a bit of delicate and fleeting feeling, which made people can't help but give birth to a kind of pity and pity.

Looking at the fish swimming and playing in the clear water, Hua Xiangjun's thoughts unconsciously flew back to the abyss not long ago

At that time, she had just arrived from Jingyang, and she was tired of driving and riding all the way, which made her already weak body quite unbearable.

And as soon as she arrived in Chongyuan, she immediately cast the "Golden Needle Tribulation" on the great patriarch with the most serious poison attack. As a result, because of the huge loss of mind, she fainted just after the injection.

For a few days, she was groggy all over, and Uncle Qing had been using internal strength to help her recover. And Cui'er was also busy serving her, and she was even more worried about her meal.

She didn't like meat in the first place, but now that she was unwell, it was even more difficult for her to eat those fishy things. However, the weak body needs nourishment, and only eating some vegetables and fruits is not the way.

One day, at dinner time, a bowl of steaming fish soup appeared on the table.

This bowl of fish soup exudes a rich aroma, and the milky white soup is topped with a few green green onions, which is very appetizing.

She couldn't help but take a small sip, and found that it tasted unusually delicious, without a trace of nasty fishy smell.

As a result, before she knew it, she had drunk all the fish soup in the bowl, and even ate some of the fish in the bowl.

Seeing this, everyone else at the table couldn't help but smile.

She also smiled at them and said, "This fish soup tastes so delicious!"

Cui'er grinned and said, "It's still Brother Xiaofeng's craftsmanship!"

When Lu Yuanfeng heard this, he was a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, and did not squeak.

"Sister Xiangjun, what do you think of the taste of that fish?" Liu Yifei on the side asked a little eagerly.

She smiled again and said, "The meat of this fish is smooth and melts in the mouth, and the taste is also delicious. It's the first time I've tasted such delicious fish!"

When Liu Yifei heard this, his face suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but show off his merits triumphantly.

"Sister Xiangjun, this kind of fish is only available here, and it is only available in this season. Moreover, this is still Princess Qingping's favorite fish in the past. I caught it in the creek where she used to catch fish!"

Lu Yuanfeng suddenly glanced up at him, and an inexplicable smile flashed on his cold face.

Cui'er, who has always been tricky and quick-mouthed, shook her little head and asked: "Brother Xiaofei, the stream where Princess Qingping caught fish back then was outside the city, so why did it take two hours to go back and forth." But how did you do it when you only went out for half an hour and then you came back with these fish?"

"This"

Liu Yifei's white and beautiful face immediately flashed a suspicious ochre, "With my light skills"

At this time, Uncle Qing couldn't help but snort on the side and said, "Yes, with your light skills, half an hour is just enough to go back and forth to the fishing market!"

So, the dinner ended with everyone's laughter and Liu Yifei's hugging of the head......

A faint smile appeared on Hua Xiangjun's flower-like face.

She still sat in the warm autumn day, staring at the crystal clear pool in front of her, but there was a deep sadness hidden in her sparkling eyes.

And these bright eyes, which were shining with faint tears, were like a bottomless well, which could suck the eyes and even souls of all those who saw them into it.

At this moment, there was a person who had just been sucked out of his soul, standing on the other side of the pond in a daze, staring at this beautiful woman who seemed to belong to the mortal world at all.
