Detecting fragrance and ugly concubine

'9: not like a flower

The palace has returned to its former calm.

The flowers in spring are really blooming. Where there is soil in the imperial palace, there will be traces of flowers, some are specially planted, and some are wild, each of which has its own beauty.

Women are like flowers, and women naturally love flowers very much, and one after another they put themselves into the ranks of enjoying flowers.

In the entire harem, except for Wen Xuanwu who was still lying on the bed resting bored, no one could not walk without being attracted by flowers.

On this day, Zhenliang and four maids were enjoying various flowers in the largest garden of the palace.

For flowers, copper leaves are the best. She can clearly name each flower, and knows its growth cycle and habits.

After inquiring, Zhenliang found out that Tongye's parents were flower farmers, so she knew so much about flowers.

Just when everyone was admiring a certain flower, suddenly, Tongye's explanation stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at her in surprise.

Tongye pointed at the figure not far away, except for Zhenliang, the others all changed color slightly.

The garden is full of women admiring flowers, but there appears a man who seems unable to blend in with the scenery.

He is none other than Nangong Lie.

The other women who were admiring the flowers in the garden saw Nangong Lie almost at the same time, all of them smiled like a flower, and walked towards Nangong Lie in unison, calling out one after another, "" emperor--"

Seeing so many women swarming towards Nangong Lie, Zhen Liang felt annoyed, and finally summed it up in two words—disgusting.

Not noticing that Nangong Lie didn't even look at those women, Zhenliang turned his back and said, "This side is not pretty, let's go over there and have a look."

This posture is to pretend that she didn't see Nangong Lie at all.

The four girls looked at each other angrily, and said in unison, "Aren't you going to salute the emperor?"

Hearing this, Zhenliang couldn't relieve the pent-up air in his heart, and said coldly, "I only saw a group of women, but I didn't see any emperor."

After finishing speaking, Zhenliang walked towards the depths of the garden, thinking that it would be best to go to a place where this group of people could not be seen, so that she would feel better.

The four girls looked at Zhenliang's back striding away in fear, and Nangong Lie's deep eyes that fell on Zhenliang from the beginning to the end, all of them had a bad feeling that something was wrong.

Although it is an inevitable choice for these slaves to kneel and salute when they see the emperor, they can't leave their master to salute together, can they?

Jin Ye, Copper Ye, and Iron Ye all turned their eyes to Yin Ye asking for help, and Yin Ye pouted hard, saying, "Follow up with the empress first, and then adapt to the situation."

Everyone is willing to obey Yinye's words.

So, the four girls tacitly chased after Zhenliang's back.

While chasing, Tie Ye couldn't help muttering, "It's fine if the emperor didn't see the empress, but from the beginning to the end, the emperor clearly only had the empress in his eyes, but the empress deliberately pretended to be stupid and ignored her. Do we have to follow the empress?" Pretending to be stupid and ignoring? Wouldn’t this harm the empress?”

Yinye smiled and replied, "If the empress is so easily persecuted by us, the emperor will not keep staring at our empress."

These words are really profound, it's a pity that the other three girls didn't understand.

Nangong Lie saw Zhenliang ignore him and go away, his handsome face was as dark as ink, and there were all kinds of beautiful women standing in front of him, but he couldn't accommodate them in his eyes and heart.

"Let's all leave."

Nangong Lie spit out these four words, walked out of the encirclement of women, and stood in an open place with his hands behind his back, Zhen Liang was about to be seen in his eyes.

After the women behind looked at each other, one after another reluctantly left, the emperor did not let them retreat, but let them go, no doubt wanting to walk alone in the garden, they all understand, no one dares Stay disturbed.

The sharp-eyed person found Zhenliang's distant figure, and he couldn't help showing his teeth and claws to guide everyone to look together, and everyone's eyes turned red with anger.

Zhenliang walked away on purpose, and everyone also thought that Zhenliang walked away on purpose, but Zhenliang's deliberate intention was completely different from what everyone thought was intentional.

Everyone thought that Zhenliang had long expected that the emperor loved to enjoy the flowers alone, so he pretended not to see him and walked away, hoping to meet the emperor again after they all left...

After the group of annoying women disappeared, Nangong Lie walked towards the depths of the garden.

The person he wants to see can never escape.

Zhenliang walked until she couldn't see Nangong Lie when she looked back, then stopped and continued to enjoy the flowers, asking Tongye what kind of flower this is, and asking everyone if this flower is the most beautiful?

The girls were not in the mood to admire the flowers any longer, and looked behind them from time to time, for fear that the emperor would suddenly appear.

Sure enough, as they expected, the figure of the emperor appeared as they looked around.

Yinye coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the other three girls, she made some gestures, and everyone followed suit silently.

Maliang stood in front of a cluster of pink and white flowers, leaned slightly, closed her eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers.

When the fragrance of flowers hit her nostrils, the corners of Zhenliang's mouth opened into a bright smile.

In just such a short time, she has deliberately forgotten Nangong Lie. In her opinion, no matter whether Nangong Lie saw her or not, she must be entangled by other women at this time, and she has no time or heart to care about her actions. .

After smelling the fragrance of the flowers enough, Zhenliang stood up straight and asked like every time before, "What's the name of this flower?"

What she asked was naturally Tongye, or other girls who occasionally knew flowers.

What answered her was a deep male voice, "Ruthless."

Zhen Liang was startled by the sudden voice, Xun Sheng met Shang Nangong Lie's cold eyes, and couldn't figure out for a while whether he was scolding her for being ruthless, or that the flower's name was ruthless.

"The concubine participates in—"

"Exemption."

Zhenliang's etiquette was terminated by Nangong Lie after the third word. In Nangong Lie's view, there are too many worldly things between him and Zhenliang. If etiquette is used to restrict each other, she will feel more about him. hair difficult.

Nangong Lie let go of the hands that had been placed behind his back all the time, one hand naturally held the other hand of Zhenliang, and held it firmly in the palm.

"Will you walk with me?"

Zhenliang quietly rolled his eyes, he has already held her hand without her consent, why ask her opinion?Does she dare to say no?

However, Zhenliang has to admit that Nangong Lie's hands are wide and warm, and his little hands are under his wraps, and there is a sincere sense of stability, as if the sky is falling and there is no need to be afraid.

Zhenliang couldn't help thinking quietly, how wonderful would it be if this broad hand only held her hand in this life?

Then, Zhenliang laughed at himself in his heart, how could he have the ridiculous idea of ​​dominating a generation of emperors?Except impossible, still impossible.

Zhenliang followed Nangong Lie's footsteps and walked casually for a while. Even though Zhenliang was full of curiosity about those unfamiliar flowers, even if Nangong Lie knew, she didn't want to ask him.

So, the two just walked casually in the garden hand in hand, but it was so weird that they didn't communicate.

Zhen Liang accidentally looked around the entire garden, and suddenly found that, except for Nan Gonglie, the rest of the people in the park had disappeared, especially her four maids, who had disappeared at some point.

From Zhenliang's point of view, those four maids were providing her and Nangong Lie with a space to spend alone, but the other concubines were definitely not so generous, and they probably wished they could walk hand in hand with Nangong Lie.

Glancing secretly at their connected hands, Zhenliang didn't know what the purpose was, and suddenly asked, "Why doesn't the emperor hold hands with other concubines? Why did he choose concubines? Or, the emperor has already held hands with other concubines?" The concubine passed by hand in hand?"

The meaning contained here is quite complicated, Nangong Lie heard it, it seems to have a hint of curiosity, and even a faint smell of vinegar.

Of course, he is not sure if it is real vinegar or fake vinegar, but he would rather treat it as real vinegar.

Nangong Lie pressed his thin lips tightly, and it took a long time before he said, "What do you think?"

Zhenliang rolled her eyes and said, "How does the concubine know? Does the emperor think that the concubine's face is ugly, so it's ridiculous to appear here to enjoy the flowers?"

Well, it's not that Zhenliang is sensitive by nature, but in front of Nangong Lie, she is prone to be sensitive, because in front of other concubines, no matter how sarcastic their eyes are at her, she can proudly pretend that she didn't see it at all. Take it to heart.

If you care about a person, you will care about how a person feels about yourself.

Zhenliang didn't realize at all that to a certain extent, she cared more and more about how Nangong Lie felt towards her.

Nangong Lie stopped, held Zhenliang's hand and rubbed his fingers lightly, and asked, "Don't you think it's ridiculous for me to accompany a woman to enjoy flowers here?"

The haze in Zhenliang's heart suddenly dissipated in his words.

He was undoubtedly answering her veiledly, that is, he never held the hand of other women, and he didn't think it was ridiculous that she was admiring the flowers.

As for why he chose to hold hands with her to enjoy the flowers, it seemed more like a choice that didn't need any reason.

As soon as Zhenliang was in a good mood, she smiled at Nangong Lie and said, "Few men would say that they love flowers or appreciate flowers, but men like to watch women love women, especially beautiful women. Women are like flowers. Meng, indirectly speaking, men like to admire flowers, and even more like to take flowers for themselves."

The corner of Nangong Lie's mouth curled up slightly, "You mean, I can't be exempt."

Zhenliang thought of those women who swarmed up just now, and said sarcastically, "The emperor is the most qualified person in the world to appreciate and love flowers, and he is also the man who has many flowers in this world."

Nangong Lie pursed his lips and said, "I only love one kind of flower."

Without thinking too much, Zhenliang blurted out and asked, "Which kind of flower?"

Nangong Lie looked at Zhenliang deeply, but instead of answering, he asked, "What kind of flower do you think you look like?"

This problem is that Zhenliang has never thought about it in modern times, let alone now?

Zhenliang looked at all the beautiful flowers in the garden, and laughed at herself, "I don't have the qualifications to be like flowers."

Nangong Lie clenched Zhenliang's little hand, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said, "I used to think I didn't love flowers, but now, I'm deeply in love with a kind of flower."

Masuzu didn't ask any questions this time, but cast curious eyes on his pretty side face.

Nangong Lie gently opened his thin lips and said, "It's not like a flower."
