Chapter 117
Prince Duan's power in the court and clan should not be underestimated. The Bai family has been loyal and good for generations, and there is another noble concubine who is likely to ascend to the throne. The marriage between Prince Duan and General Bai's mansion is a win-win thing. Ning didn't understand why Prince Duan didn't immediately agree to the Bai family's invitation to marry someone. Wasn't he afraid that Concubine Rong would become an enemy of him after she became a queen?
Old Madam Bai snorted, frowned and said, "Even Prince Chun went to find a matchmaker in person, but Prince Duan didn't nod. It seems that he wants to hang up my daughter and sell her!"

Bi Ning also felt the same way, this marriage will eventually come true, Prince Duan didn't agree to it outright, it was just to raise the value of his daughter, he was thinking whether to let this matter go first, and wait for a while. Invite someone who is more important than Princess Jin to propose marriage, and Old Madam Bai said: "In this case, then my wife will go to propose marriage in person, and it will be enough to give their family face!"

"Grandmother wants to propose marriage in person?" Bi Ning was startled when he heard the words, that is, ordinary people would invite a matchmaker first to propose marriage, and wait for the matchmaker to give the promise before going to propose marriage. What is afraid is that if the woman does not agree, the man Convenience will lose face and become the laughing stock of others. Now that Prince Duan's mansion has not nodded, Mrs. Bai will go to propose marriage in person. This is enough for Prince Duan's mansion. Where is the face of the Bai family?
"Don't worry, Prince Duan is not stupid, and I forgive him for not rejecting this marriage!" Mrs. Bai knew what Bi Ning was thinking, and said firmly.

"But Xiaoliu's side..." Bi Ning never forgot that Bai Xiaoliu's side never let go, if Prince Duan agreed, wouldn't it be even more difficult for Bai Xiaoliu to refuse to obey.

"Unless he wants to piss me off, he must agree to this marriage!" Mrs. Bai said without any room for negotiation.

Bi Ning looked at Mrs. Bai's unquestionable appearance, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Bai had already said this, and Bai Xiaoliu was a filial person, so he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to disobey , Thinking of this, I feel relieved.

There is no rainy season in the north, and the sun is always high in the sky, making people feel warm and irritated.

"Has the emperor left?" Jin Liu asked lazily after turning over on the imperial concubine chair.

"Miss, why did you wake up after only a short sleep?" Bixi was sitting on a chair beside her, helping Xiaohong embroider a shoe upper made of beaded flowers, she raised her head and asked when she heard the sound.

"I didn't sleep at all. I was bored in Ninghe Palace all day long. I couldn't walk anywhere. I either slept or ate. I'm not a pig. How can I sleep so much?" Jin Liu said angrily.

She has been in the palace for five or six days today, these days she is either accompanying Murong Shengxue or staying alone in the house without going anywhere, especially when the emperor comes now, she is even more bored by herself Not even a little sound can come out in the house.

"Hehe..." A burst of low laughter came in from outside the door, before the laughter fell, Xiaohong opened the curtain and walked in.

"Sister Xiaohong, why are you here?" Bixi hurriedly got up to give up her seat.

"The emperor is gone?" Jin Liu also sat up from the imperial concubine chair, and asked with a smile: "Is your empress going to take me to the imperial garden? They say that the imperial garden in spring is the most beautiful. I will enter the palace." It’s been a few days and I haven’t seen it yet!”

Xiao Hong sat down on the seat vacated by Tourmaline, then shook her head and said: "The emperor is taking a nap, how could he leave so fast!"

"Ah?" Jin Liu's face collapsed in disappointment, and she was about to fall asleep.

"Miss San!" Xiaohong hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her, and said to Bixi with a smile: "Look at those who bore our Miss San, you really let the empress guess."

Tourmaline glanced at Jin Liu on the imperial concubine chair, and asked, "Is there anything you can tell Miss Hong to bring to our young lady?"

"Exactly!" Xiaohong nodded, and said: "I am afraid that the emperor will not leave until dinner time. The empress said that if the third lady feels bored, let the servants take the third lady to the imperial garden!"

"Forget it then!" Jin Liu shook her head and said, she had already found out where the Imperial Garden was, if she was allowed to go by herself, she would have wandered around a few times, so why bother here Waiting for Concubine Ning to go together?

The imperial garden is the place where the concubines of the harem entertain and play. She doesn't want to bump into any nobleman without knowing it. Concubine Ning is now in favor, and although the other concubines in the palace don't say it, they are They must be dissatisfied, they can't help Concubine Ning, but Bao Buqi will attack her.

Xiaohong laughed again when she heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty knew that Miss San would have such concerns, so she let the slaves come over."

"What do you mean?" Jin Liu looked at Xiao Hong and asked.

"Everyone in the palace has the habit of taking a nap. It's just after lunch. The masters of the palaces may have already fallen asleep in their rooms. No one will go to the imperial garden. Third Miss, just rest assured. Go!" Xiaohong said with a smile. "Just don't play too late and come back."

Jin Liu hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, she knew that people in the palace had to take a nap on weekdays, but she was not sure if there would be anyone in the Imperial Garden, she was relieved after hearing Xiao Hong's words, and smiled at Tourmaline Said: "That's it, let's go around, go back early, so that the empress can rest assured!"

The Royal Garden is actually not far from Ninghe Palace, at least it is much closer to the palace gate. Jin Liu had already inquired about the route, and walked leisurely with the tourmaline. As Xiaohong said, there were no people along the way. Occasionally, when meeting one or two young maids, they also lowered their heads and rushed forward, as if rushing back to take a nap.

Seeing this scene, Jin Liu felt relieved, even the court ladies had to take a nap, could it be possible that those delicate and expensive nobles would come out to enjoy the flowers at noon?

In just a cup of tea, Jinliu and Tourmaline came to the Imperial Garden. Spring is the most brilliant season for the flowers in the Imperial Garden. As soon as you enter the gate of the Imperial Garden, the late-blooming winter jasmine will make your eyes shine. , hanging down from the rockery, a yellow piece, caressed by the wind, exudes a faint fragrance, and going forward, peonies, roses, gardenias, roses, blooming in competition, a stream surrounded by strange rocks I don’t know where to go It flows through here, and the sound of the gurgling stream is as sweet as silver bells. There are a few willow trees with strange shapes planted beside them. The tender green branches hang down on the water, and gently swing with the current. There are a few small fish naughty around the branches. Pecking.

There are patches of azaleas on the hillside in the distance, and the whole mountain turns bright red from a distance. The small pavilion on the mountainside seems to be submerged in the sea of ​​azaleas.

"As expected of a royal garden, there are so many flowers, and they bloom so well." Tourmaline followed Jin Liu to the imperial garden and said happily after walking a few steps, then suddenly pointed her hand and said in surprise: "Miss, look This flower turned out to be black!"

Jin Liu looked in the direction of Tourmaline's finger, and sure enough, he saw a black flower among the flowers. There were five or six flowers in bloom, and each flower was as big as a palm, which was really eye-catching. Jin Liu walked over and carefully looked under the black flower. Hesitating for a moment, he said: "This should be a peony flower! I've heard that there are black peony flowers!"

"It turns out that this is the black peony." Bixi widened her eyes when she heard the words, and said, "I heard that this flower is very expensive, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it in the palace!"

"This is the imperial palace, naturally there are other things that you can't see." Jin Liu said disapprovingly, seeing that the tourmaline was still bending over to look at the black peonies, she didn't call her, and walked forward a few steps at a leisurely pace. From time to time, there are small fish jumping up in the creek, stepping on a strange rock and leaning over to look at the small fish in the creek. When I look up, I see that there is a swing frame under the hillside full of rhododendrons. I am very happy. He hurriedly greeted Tourmaline and walked over there.

The hillside full of rhododendrons is not far away. Jinliu and Tourmaline walked around the garden for a long time before reaching it. Sure enough, they saw a swing frame on a green grassy field, and a carved rosewood board that was as thick as a finger. The hemp rope was hung and tied to the shelf, and the swing swayed slightly when the breeze blew.

"There's a swing, Miss, let's go up, and the servants will push it." Tourmaline said with a smile on her face, her face was flushed by the sun.

"Yeah!" Jin Liu responded, sat on it happily, was pushed from behind by tourmaline, and swayed high, smelling the fragrance of green grass, feeling the warm wind blowing on his face so pleasant, finally felt that this In the palace, there was finally some fun to speak of, "Put in a little more force!" Jin Liu happily urged.

"It's already swinging very high, Miss, hurry up!" Tourma said cautiously.

"What is this? I used to go to the playground to play the jumping machine..." Jin Liu opened his mouth happily for a while, but before he finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words.

"Jumping machine?" Bixi heard it clearly and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense! You need to push harder!" Jin Liu hurriedly said, laughing.

"Oh!" Tourmaline responded without doubt, and she pushed even harder until she heard Jin Liu's joyful laughter. Do you have a panoramic view of the Imperial Garden?"

"Oh! Hurry up... let me down!" Unexpectedly, Jin Liu yelled and said in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Tourma was startled, and hurried forward to grab the hemp rope that was about to swing past her eyes, and asked nervously, "What's wrong, miss?"

"Someone is here!" Jin Liu hurriedly said.

The tourmaline was startled, she raised her head and took a look in front, and she saw a court lady walking towards this side surrounded by two noble ladies, one of them was familiar, she looked like she had seen it before, wait for her to see clearly Startled, she hurriedly helped Jin Liu off the swing, and asked nervously: "Miss, it seems to be Princess Bining, and there is no doubt that Concubine Rong is with her, let's hurry up!" After pulling Jin Liu, he wanted to go in the opposite direction.

"Why run away after letting them see it? Isn't it clear that people will choose our gift?" Jin Liu grabbed her hand and said, that is to say, Jin Liu was also very depressed, didn't he say Will there be no one in the Royal Garden at noon?Why did someone come when they came, and Concubine Rong and Bi Ning?
It's just that running away is definitely not an option. Seeing the nobles in the palace turn around and leave instead of being polite, that's their fault. At this time, we can't let people get caught up in the conversation and make a fuss about it!

"Then what should we do?" After thinking about it, Bixi understood why Jin Liu didn't run away, seeing Concubine Rong and Bixi getting closer, she asked anxiously.

"Let's play by ear, anyway, Concubine Ning asked us to come to the Imperial Garden. We have done nothing wrong, and they can't do anything to us!" Jin Liu said calmly, she really didn't want to cause trouble in the palace, but when things came to an end She was never afraid when she was young, and she was not at fault in the first place, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
