Qingchuan History

Chapter 378
"Your Highness shouldn't have said those words."

There was some disturbance by the imperial garden, and they broke up unhappy.Chai Yinuo went out of the palace alone with the royal bottle in her arms, Ji Wanling went to Wanlan Palace, Shen Ji escorted Gu Chunfeng back to Linghua Palace, and seeing that they were approaching the gate, she finally couldn't help but speak out.

It was May, and the peonies were blooming, yellow, white, red and purple, and the garden was full of fresh fragrance.Gu Chunfeng walked away shaking a big pink and white flower, and didn't look at him when he heard the words, looking around and responding casually:

"What?"

Shen Ji coughed, "I don't communicate with each other forever. Can I talk again?"

Gu Chunfeng continued to shake the peony, and the delicate and complicated petals trembled in the air.Shen Ji watched silently, very afraid that if she shook it a few more times, the branches and petals would flutter and fall to the ground.

"It's just the truth, what can't I say? At that time, she blamed the sky and blamed Brother Jiu, even Chai Yinuo."

She stopped, and Shen Ji hurriedly stopped too.

"Don't stop." Gu Chunfeng pouted, "I'm waiting for you. Come up."

Shen Ji blinked, looked around, stepped forward hesitantly, "Your Highness, it's against the rules."

Gu Chunfeng stared, "It's against the rules to stand together and talk. Just now at the Jianting Pavilion——"

"Chenna," Shen Ji hurriedly interjected, afraid that she would say what she was going to do next, "Guiding His Highness to practice arrows, it's different."

"I let you finish everything." Gu Chunfeng rolled his eyes silently, "I want to ask you," lowered his voice again,
"It is rumored that Chai Yinuo should be the last one to mop up the troops when they evacuate. Then it should be Chai Yinuo who led the small team across the canyon road on the fourth day of May." Her voice was lower and she was rarely nervous, "Really? "

Shen Ji kept his voice serious.half an hour:
"I'm not there, so I can't answer."

"I know you're not there." Gu Chunfeng rolled his eyes again, "But the cause and effect of these things, they always reported when they came back? I remember that when my father asked questions, I always asked Brother Jiu to listen together. You follow Brother Jiu all the year round. Clear? The third brother had an accident at Fengting Pass, and since then, the palace has been in chaos for several years."

Dingzong collapsed again, and the young Gu Xinglang came to the throne, and rumors spread all over the place.It's this chaos.

Shen Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her.

Dingzong, aunt, big flower perfume orchid.

There was no wave on Gu Chunfeng's face, he just let out a deep breath, and lowered his shaking Shaoyao hand,

"Brother Nine is disturbed by rumors, and everyone is silent about the Fengting Pass. I believe in Brother Nine, but I dare not say anything, let alone ask more questions."

The flying bird sang, and landed on a tall Melaleuca tree nearby.Melaleuca japonica has many flowering periods throughout the year, and the white spikes bloom all over the tree, just like piled snow.

The day when the pavilion was closed was also a snowy day.

May snow day.

"Your Highness is right." Shen Ji said in a deep voice, "True or false, when the clouds bloom and the moon shines. All kinds of rumors, before the truth comes out, will only add weight to the rumors, and there will be no discussion. necessary."

"But Chai Yinuo should be true. That's why Ji Wanling has complained about him for many years." Gu Chunfeng pouted, "Chai Yinuo is also innocent. The marching and combat arrangements are discussed by the generals and the third brother makes decisions. It was a mistake that the third brother was the one who fell down in the end."

She paused, her eyes darkened,

"As the Gu family, I naturally hope that the third brother will return safely. But should Chai Yinuo deserve to die? She blames Chai Yinuo for this, and she just wants to say that he should be the one who fell down in the first place—"

"Your Highness."

"Inexplicable." She stopped there, raised her hand, and looked carefully at the peony in her hand, "The battle at Fengting Pass was inexplicable, and the things that followed were even more inexplicable, but the ghost lingered, chasing after her life until now."

Pursue life until now.Shen Ji roughly understood what she meant.Last year, he chased after Shangguan Xie's life.

Is there still life to chase?The indescribable battle of closing Tingguan is like a curse.

"The peony is so pretty." Gu Chunfeng murmured, "Such a plump big flower, so perfect, it must be called Jiangli."

Shen Ji was startled, "Huh?"

"The peony is also called Jiangli, and I only know it has bloomed recently, my sister-in-law said." She held the twig and shook it gently, and three or two pink and white soft petals finally fell down.

"Then Your Highness," he stammered, "let me pick it up."

Gu Chunfeng was inexplicable, "You are a big man, you just follow me, do you want me to pick it myself?" Just passing by the peony garden, she saw the beauty in her hand, so she asked him to pick it.

"Your Highness," Shen Ji coughed again, "Return this flower to the minister." He reached out to take it.

"Why?" Gu Chunfeng subconsciously.What do you pay for her flowers?

Shen Ji was quite embarrassed, and held back a sentence for a while:
"It's a bad idea."

Chunfeng blinked for a moment, and suddenly reacted, his cheeks flushed.

"Take it, take it." She stretched out her hand and handed the flower to him, then turned her face away and muttered:
"It's just a flower, hypocritical to death."

Shen Ji's face was also red, but because of his dark complexion, he looked like a pig's liver.

Ah Yi was waiting not far away, she couldn't bear to look directly at her, and she was afraid that the palace people would see her gossip, so she hurried up, and said something nonsense about the time for dinner, Baba helped Chunfeng to leave.

Shen Ji took the pink and white peony, neither kept nor threw it away.There is still warmth from Gu Chunfeng's palm on the thin rod.

After being dazed for a moment, he finally took a step, and went to the Wanlan Palace in such a ridiculous way.

A tall general, holding a branch of pink flowers, walked steadily, and his face was even more stable and dignified.The palace people saw it and looked at it secretly, but they only dared to snigger and dare not comment.

When Ruan Xueyin saw Shen Ji from a distance, it was this strange scene.

"Mrs. Pei."

"Master Shen." Ruan Xueyin nodded, and glanced at the flower branch in his hand, "Is this going back to the Lantern Hall?"

With a branch of fresh peonies.

For Gu Xinglang?

She shuddered.

"Yes." Shen Ji replied, vaguely felt that the other party's eyes were on his right hand, and he was a little at a loss, "Well, I took His Highness Chunfeng to the arrow pavilion to practice archery in the afternoon, and I just sent His Highness back."

He was busy explaining, the hand holding the peony rose and fell subconsciously, and the pink and white petals trembled.

Ruan Xueyin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and looked at the peony with a three-point smile in her eyes, "But the flowers haven't been sent out yet?"

"Husband, madam."

Shen Ji is reticent, but it's not that he can't speak, let alone stutter.

Naturally, my heart is ups and downs, and it is inconvenient and unwilling to explain to others.

"Go." Ruan Xueyin didn't force it, and after saying this, she wanted to leave.

"Go back to Madam," but heard him speak again.

Ruan Xueyin stopped.

"Your highness just said that Shaoyao's alias is Jiangli. I feel bad."

So didn't send it out?Or did Chunfeng confiscate it because of this?

Ruan Xueyin laughed, nodded and said:
"Yes, there is this nickname. But Shaoyao also has good intentions. Especially,"

It is especially suitable for mutual gift between men and women who like each other.

Unable to say it in broad daylight, she changed her words,

"There is a song "Qin Wei" in the "Book of Songs", which talks about the turbulent water in spring. The Qin and Wei rivers are full of tourists. The girl invites the boy to enjoy the spring water together. The boy replied that he has already enjoyed it. The girl said you would Come with me to see it again. The young man stayed together, and the two played and played by the river. When they parted, they made a pact to give a peony, which is this sentence:

Weishi and the woman, Yiqi joked with each other and gave them a spoonful of medicine. (Note)"

Shen Ji bowed his head and listened quietly, as if he was comprehending.

Ruan Xueyin smiled again: "That's why peony is also called sentimental flower, because it has been traditionally given as a keepsake since ancient times. As for the name Jiangli, I always think it means that it has a short flowering period and it is just at the turn of spring and summer."

She stared intently at the big flower in his hand,

"In the rainy season, peonies are seen, and in the beginning of summer, peonies are seen. Peonies bloom only in May. Summer begins and spring will leave. For some reason, the folks call it the flower god of May."

The thin rod was slightly softened by the heat of the palm.Those petals hanging down to the ground are not as energetic as when they were just picked, wilting and exuding fragrance in the soft sunlight.

"I understand. Thank you, madam."

The sun is softer.

Evening has come.

People in Linghua Palace are going back and forth to prepare dinner.A young maid came back from the outside quickly, and was about to enter the gate, stopped suddenly, and raised her voice:
"Which one of you picked such a large bunch of peonies and put them at the door? Don't take them in. If you don't touch the water for a long time, you will lose. You are blind to such beautiful flowers!"

　Thank you cclevana for rewarding 2333
