Chang Anqing

Chapter 182 The First Meeting of Meiyuan
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Chang'an City ushered in a warm winter sun that had not been seen for a long time. The gentle breeze seemed to reduce the bone-chilling chill a lot, and the melodious singing of kingfishers could be heard vaguely. It seems that even the feeling of spring has become much stronger unconsciously.

The inside of the Lizheng Hall is peaceful, and the ladies in brand-new dresses are either standing respectfully on the corridor and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, or carefully collecting the rain and dew flowers in front of the hall. In order to be warm, Niannu gently opened the soft curtain, and saw Empress Yang sitting on the bed with huanghuali open-carved dragon and animal patterns under the window, with her left hand lightly resting on the leading pillow, looking at the front with a smile on her face. Li Sui, who was sitting, had a rare comfortable and relaxed expression.

"Who knew that Mrs. Wen San was also a formidable person. She was not afraid of the enemy army in the city at all. After receiving the dusty red-tasseled pear flower spear handed over by the maid, she led a group of ladies on horseback to beat the drums to meet the enemy—"

As the girl spoke vividly, Empress Yang became more and more interested. At this moment, she couldn't help but leaned forward, and said with emotion in her eyes: "This lady Wen San is also a character who does not give way to women, which is really enviable. , it would be good if I could live this freely once in this life.”

While talking, Empress Yang saw Nian Nu coming in, smiled and pointed to Li Sui who was sitting on the brocade stick nearby, and said: "You came at the right time, your princess just said that Mrs. Wen San is guarding Wuliguan."

Nian Nu stepped forward with a smile. In order to make Empress Yang happy these days, their princesses have thought of many ways, and even exchanged many folk dialect books from the market. Finally, the previous heavy haze has been wiped away.

Seeing Empress Yang's relaxed expression, Jiamo, who was listening enthralled, also smiled and said: "My servant also thinks that the folk tales book is no worse than the one in our palace, so it would be more interesting to let them perform in a repertoire in the pear garden. .”

Empress Yang smiled and nodded when she heard the words, Li Sui also took advantage of this to pick up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but from Niannu's eyes, hesitant to speak and stop looking over while talking and laughing, he understood something, so when he put down the teacup , also pretending to be lazy and said: "After listening to this, sister is tired, why don't you go in and have a rest?"

Seeing this, Empress Yang glanced at Li Sui who had been talking for more than half an hour. Although she wanted to listen to it, she also knew how tired she was, so she nodded and said, "Go and rest too—"

After finishing speaking, Empress Yang supported Jiamo's hand to stand up, and said, "Order the small kitchen to make another mutton warming pot to keep it warm."

Hearing that Empress Yang ordered the dining room to add what she likes to eat, Li Sui smiled and helped Empress Yang into the inner room to rest together with Jiamo.

"My sister really knows everything about my thoughts."

After serving Empress Yang to sleep, Li Sui and Nian Nu quietly retreated out together. When the two walked outside the hall, Nian Nu said in a low voice: "Princess, Your Majesty just finished meeting with the courtiers, and now he is going to Meiyuan to relax."

Hearing Nian Nu's words, Li Sui gradually stopped, and saw Nian Nu continue to hang his head from the side of his eyes and said: "Also, you asked the slave to stare at the Yeting Palace, coincidentally, the color screen is also there at this moment. "

After the voice fell, Li Sui knew that the time had come.

Although she knew that in her previous life, Jiang Lihua would be promoted to concubine by Emperor Yuan Cheng because of a chance meeting in Meiyuan, but she didn't know when exactly. Even if she knew, after decades, she would have forgotten all about it. clean.

Therefore, she can only take the simplest method and wait for the rabbit.

As long as you guard these two people, you will always know.

Now, it's coming.

"Secretly reveal His Majesty's whereabouts to Ling Qidian, and then go—"

Hearing Li Sui's order, although Nian Nu was surprised, he retreated comprehendingly without asking anything.

And here, Emperor Yuan Cheng, who came out of the pile of documents, was in a rare leisurely mood. He was slowly heading towards the plum garden. People are pleasing to the eye.Looking at the plum blossoms that were as red as a beautiful face, Emperor Yuan Cheng's expression eased a lot. Just as he was walking towards the plum garden step by step, a breeze blew by gently, carrying the faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the wind, blowing Coming face to face, it seems that the feet are also much lighter.

"Saint, come here, servant, don't hurt your hand—"

In the silence, seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng in a black mink cloak stretch out his hand, and was about to pick a red plum that was in full bloom, Chengde, who followed behind him, hurried forward to help.

"I will do it myself."

However, Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't agree, he just put him there with an indifferent sentence.

Under the warm light, Emperor Yuan Cheng's slender fingers landed on the beautiful plum blossom branch, and turned his hand gently, and he heard the flower branch suddenly break, and it was pinched firmly in Emperor Yuan Cheng's hand.While flipping his fingers, Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were calm and absorbed, and after a while, he said softly: "Miss Yu can't visit the spring these days, choose some plum blossoms and put them in a vase, her mood will be better."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng talking to him and talking to himself, Chengde's eyes were a little silent. When he saw the guilt and pain in Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes, he couldn't help but speak out to comfort him. Said: "Your highness will be happy to see what you send the sage."

The words were still in his ears, Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled and stopped talking, but it was a bit more complicated bitterness and depression.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Cheng personally selected the red plums for Empress Yang, Chengde didn't say much, but followed carefully, holding the bouquet handed by Emperor Yuan Cheng as if it were a treasure.

"51, 52, 53—"

"Wow, the color screen is amazing!"

Just as Emperor Yuan Cheng's master and servant were gradually walking towards the depths of Meiyuan, women's laughter and noise gradually came from beside his ears, which caused Emperor Yuan Cheng to stop and listen to the direction, and followed curiously at his feet, heading towards the northwest corner of Meiyuan. As it gets closer, the laughter becomes clearer and clearer, like a house sparrow oriole on a tile eaves, although it is complicated, it is very pleasant.

Faintly, even Emperor Yuan Cheng's original low mood seemed to be swept away by it a lot.

Following Yuan Chengdi step by step to the northwest corner of the plum garden, Chengde vaguely saw a few little maids kicking shuttlecocks together in the intertwined plum forest. Because they were far away and covered by plum blossoms, the maids did not see them. , still laughing and clapping at the moment.

Chengde thought that Emperor Yuan Cheng was already in a bad mood due to the loss of his son in the middle palace, but at this moment, those maids who don't know the heights of heaven and earth dare to get into trouble at this time, and are having fun, so he frowned and said: "There is a lot of noise in the Forbidden Palace!" , Disturbed the saint, if you really don't know how to behave, the slaves will go and teach them—"

However, just as Chengde Fang took a step, he was blocked by Emperor Yuan Cheng's outstretched hand.

"It's okay."

Emperor Yuan Cheng uttered two words lightly, without the slightest emotion, and walked towards the group of maids curiously step by step. When he reached the last red plum, Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was hidden behind the plum blossom, could see clearly.

Several women in low-grade plain clothes and skirts were clapping their hands and counting around a woman who was also dressed up and kicking shuttlecocks. With bursts of exclamations and laughter, the woman in the startled bun kicked and kicked the shuttlecock again and again. After more than [-] of them, she didn't show any fatigue at all, on the contrary, she was as light as a swallow flying on a beam, and a shuttlecock with colorful feathers was as light as nothing under her feet.

Just like that, amidst the red plums and white snow, Emperor Yuan Cheng stared blankly at the woman who smiled like an autumn moon, spinning, leaning over, or leaping up, her posture was as graceful as a startled bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming, and she moved a Shuttlecock kicked a thousand tricks.

Faintly, the beautiful and peerless woman in front of him was imprinted in Emperor Yuan Cheng's mind bit by bit, but gradually overlapped with another figure bit by bit, appearing in front of his eyes, which made him unable to recover for a long time.
