The biography of Xuanhe's imperial concubine

Chapter 222

In Lin'an in April, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the spring is bright and beautiful, and the flowers are blooming just right. Many famous families are holding spring banquets to enjoy the spring flowers. It is the busiest time.

In the back garden of Nanmu's house, two viburnum trees that existed at the beginning of the mansion are still luxuriant after a hundred years, with wide branches, graceful trees, chic and chic.When Qionghua blooms, the flower is as big as a jade basin, surrounded by eight large five-petal flowers, surrounded by a small white pearl-like flower in the middle, surrounded by a group of butterfly-like flower stamens, gently swaying under the breeze , It's like a butterfly playing with beads; it's like the eight immortals dancing, the immortals are graceful and fascinating.

Qionghua mostly grows in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, Lin'an is rare, and the scale is not enough. Among the most famous gardens in Lin'an City, there is the Qionghua Garden, which is famous for Qionghua. The Qionghua there is undoubtedly the best. There is a royal garden, which has never been accessible to ordinary people.

If you want to enjoy Qionghua, there are only Qionghua in Nanmu Mansion from famous families, and Nanmu Mansion has always been low-key, and even such flower viewing feasts are rare. Therefore, Nanmu Mansion The banquet held by the family is particularly lively, especially now that the second prince in the court has been demoted, and all members of the mother's family have been exiled. Dude, the fifth prince, he has a good character and temperament, but he is still young, and the emperor has clearly been reducing the power of the Ruolan family in recent years, while the name of the third prince, the prince, has already been prosperous day by day, and the position of the crown prince is stable. Frequently entering and leaving the court, the emperor is obviously gradually delegating power. Under such a situation, the crown prince's succession to the throne is obviously a certainty, and the Nanmu family, who in this Yuan Dynasty does not know that the prince regards the Nanmu family as relatives and loves them dearly. Indeed, the emperor is also at ease with the Nanmu family, and has no taboos. Under such circumstances, the power of the Nanmu family has long been growing, and it is indeed a first-class family in Dayuan today. However, it is the low-key of the Nanmu family that is commendable. And modesty, it was hard work today, Nanmu's family took the initiative to hold a banquet, and officials of all sizes in Lin'an City naturally rushed to attend.

Today is another sunny day, the weather is fine, and the occasion is unprecedented.

There are people coming and going in the back garden, and it is very lively, and the troupe that was invited early to add to the fun, the dishes and banquets are also varied and delicious, because this is the first time that Mrs. Li has served as the host since she was in charge The flower viewing party was held, so it was carefully prepared long in advance.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, delicious wine and delicacies, silk and brocade clothes, laughter and laughter, the excitement of the honorable family is all like this.

The curved corridor was gentle, and beside a quiet stone table, a young man in brocade robes with a bright blue satin weave pattern sighed boredly, resting his small white and round chin with his hands, "Oh, it's not interesting, they are all human, And those operas and so on are just the usual ones, I thought how interesting the banquet at the grandfather's house would be."

This brocade-robed young master with blue silk and satin patterns is none other than Changhua Princess Chuqin, Qin'er, who is only 8 years old and indistinguishable.

She heard about the bustle of her grandfather's house today and specifically begged the emperor to take her out secretly, but it turned out to be meaningless at all.

Chu Zhen, who was also dressed in a brocade robe with a bright blue satin weave pattern, is now a young man with a jade crown. He naturally had a gentle and amiable look towards the younger sister he had taken care of since childhood. He patted the little guy on the head. , laughed and said: "Brother Huang told you, you didn't believe it yourself, so you insisted on running out to see for yourself, how is it, are you disappointed?"

Today's third prince has already secured the position of crown prince, and his prestige is getting better day by day.And in recent years, with Emperor Ming Cheng taking his favorite concubine Xuan and the noble concubine out of the palace to play at every turn, he frequently supervised the country under his father's royal decree saying that he was in poor health.He began to have the power of an emperor more and more, and now what he said was also a promise in the court.Everyone in the world said that the prince is noble, lenient and benevolent, but this kind of prince has long been no longer contemptuous in front of the courtiers. Even though he has a gentle attitude, he is not angry and prestige is already an adjective given to the prince by the courtiers.

Such a prince, now only in front of his little sister, can he appear to be a bit of a young man.

Qin'er really hated her brother's complacent look, and was so shocked, "The emperor brother also told me that mother concubine and father emperor will definitely not leave the palace this year, why didn't I see that you were right." Thinking of this little Qin'er Not happy, her parents are always with the child, why her father and concubine would just throw her to the third brother, although the third brother treats her very well, but sometimes the third brother is busy I don't care about her, and why they don't take her when they go out, she also wants to go out, how can it be enough to go out of the palace, isn't this Nanmu Mansion just as boring, she also wants to go out of Lin'an, every time she knows what to do. She came back with a gift, wouldn't it be nice to take her there.I really don't like my father and mother.

The little man is really troubled by this.She didn't know that if she said that she wanted to leave the palace, the prince's brother would take her out of the palace. The princess is already blessed and unique.

Chu Zhen was choked speechless by his sister's words, yes, father and emperor took Xuan mother and concubine out of the palace three days ago, and this time I don't know how long it will take to go out again. This kind of person with unruly thoughts has long been dealt with cleanly. Politically, it can be reassuring, but even so, the father can't go out again not long after he came back. Thinking that 2 years ago, there were still people who wanted to take advantage of it. Rumors caused his father to have a grudge against his growing power as the crown prince, and he felt it was ridiculous. How could those smart people know that his father was afraid that he would be able to see the beautiful country in the eyes of the world, but he regarded it as The burden of responsibility is placed in his hands.
