Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Chapter 113

Full of trees and splendid red, ten thousand branch pill blossoms and spring melts.

The spring is beautiful and the warmth is strong. The Brilliant Blossom Banquet is set in the peach grove in the deepest part of the imperial garden. The fallen flowers flutter down one after another, and they are as fine as snow in midair. If they fall into the hair of any empress by chance, they will The side is more delicate than flowers, and the red lips are a little peachy.

After all, it was a family banquet in the palace, and there were not many rules. The queen did not put on airs, but took her seat early with Concubine Yi, and looked up at the group of Yan Yan who were talking and laughing on their faces, but secretly fighting for beauty. The imperial concubine couldn't help but shook her head, and sighed: "Even if they try their best here, His Majesty doesn't care to appreciate it at all. They really did nothing..."

"The deep palace is so lonely, maybe it's a kind of fun for them?"

Hua Rong casually glanced at those women, picked up a large peach blossom from the corner of the table, pinched it with her fingertips for a moment, then raised her hand, and gently pinned it to Gu Ying's ear, raising her eyebrows playfully Said: "It's quite suitable."

Gu Ying's health has always been poor, and her face is often pale and weak.But now, under the backdrop of the peach blossoms, her skin is whiter than snow, and her whole complexion has improved a lot. Even the eyes that looked at her in surprise seemed to be full of affection, which made Hua Rong's eyes darken slightly. Looking away, he smiled calmly and said, "Even the late emperor once praised that Gu Shibo is really good at picking names, and he really answered the phrase 'human face and peach blossoms reflect red'!"

——Gu Ying's small print is Taozhi'er.

More than 30 years ago, at the time of the handover of winter and spring, it was not yet the day when the peach blossoms were in full bloom; but strangely, on the day Gu Ying was born, all the peach trees in the Prince's Mansion of Huai Ling County bloomed, and the peach blossoms were full of flowers. Zhi Fangfei is like red rain, clustered and crowded on the treetops, it is really a rare phenomenon in a hundred years!

Therefore, the king of Huailing County called his daughter's small character "Taozhier", which not only commemorated this wonderful scene, but also took the elegance and tranquility from the phrase "the spring breeze on the little peach branch is early".Until later, when the matter spread, even the first emperor heard about it, so he never objected to Ming Yi's decision to marry Gu's daughter——

After all, originally, according to the status of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion, it was simply not enough for his daughter to be married as a crown princess.

"..."

After hearing Hua Rong's teasing, Gu Ying involuntarily raised her hand, touched the peach blossoms on her temples, shook her head and smiled, "Ayu, don't play tricks on me anymore."

"Okay, okay, it's all concubines talking too much," Hua Rong propped her chin with one hand, her brows crooked with a smile, "Speaking of which, I heard that Tan'er planted half a yard of peach trees in the princess mansion on purpose? Isn't it just for the sake of reconciliation? What is your mother's name!"

"You can talk about it with me, but you must never say it in front of His Majesty."

Seeing Hua Rong mentioning this incident, Gu Ying's smile couldn't help deepening, she covered the corners of her lips and sighed helplessly: "Otherwise, he's going to take this matter out again, and get angry with Tan'er seriously. Here we come!"

……

At the same time, Ming Tan, whom Gu Hua and his wife were talking about, had just crossed the small bridge leading to the Royal Garden with Lin Shurong.

"It's only been a few months, why does it seem like it's almost summer?" Ming Tan staggered down the bridge, reaching out his hand to fan the wind beside his head, while looking around with emotion, "Sure enough, it's still The imperial garden in spring is the most beautiful."

Recently, the weather is bright and flowers are in full bloom. Not only are crabapples and forsythias blooming on the branches, but even the bushes around are also colorful.For a single peony, there are many varieties such as Zhao Fen, Erqiao, Yuyihuang, Yulou Diancui, etc., which is a garden full of spring scenery that cannot be closed.

Miss Lin is an elegant and wonderful person, and she is very interested in facing the landscape of flowers, trees, and rivers. Now she follows Ming Tan around to appreciate the beauty of the imperial garden, and her expression is also very satisfied.

But in the next second, when her eyes swept over a big tree with branches as thick as two people hugging each other, she frowned suddenly, held Ming Tan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, then There are people around."

"Huh? Where?"

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction indicated by Lin Shurong's eyes, he saw a small cyan corner of his clothes protruding from behind the tree trunk, which was not as big as the palm of his hand, and it was hard to attract attention at first sight.

If Lin Shurong hadn't practiced martial arts for many years and had sharp eyes, I'm afraid he really wouldn't have been able to find the trace of this person!

The palace is heavily guarded, and there is a banquet today, and the inner guards come and go more frequently, how dare someone hide in the dark?Ming Tan suddenly became interested, raised his eyebrows high, made a booing gesture to Lin Shurong, walked lightly, and slowly approached the big tree.

Seeing her playfulness, Lin Shurong couldn't stop her, so he could only sigh softly, and let Ming Tan step forward to investigate.

Anyway, Ouchi's guards are not for nothing, and the people on the left and right will not be any dangerous people...

Ming Tan also understood this truth, so he dared to go forward alone, took a little step, and after making sure that he didn't even make the slight sound of stepping on the grass, he leaned on the trunk and looked out——

When her eyes came into contact with the person behind the tree, she was startled for a moment, squinted her eyes, and looked at the thin figure in front of her for a while, before confirming the identity of the person, Youyou said, "Oh, Brother Six? What are you doing here? Woolen cloth?"

As soon as the words fell, Ming Tan saw the man tremble violently. Obviously startled by the sudden voice behind him, he turned his head in horror, revealing a handsome young face. It was none other than the sixth prince Ming Ye.

"Nine, Nine Emperor Sisters?!"

Even though they had already hidden behind a tree, they were still caught on the spot. Ming Ye was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands, his face flushed visibly, and he said in a low voice: "I'm here, here..."

Hiding from her here, I don't want to say hello to her.

Social phobia is not uncommon, Ming Tan understands it very well.

In today's Tiancheng Dynasty, although the sixth prince Mingye is the same age as her and is the youngest pair of princes and princesses in the palace, Mingtan has never had much contact with each other. When the noble concubine was about to be imprisoned as Concubine Ning's accomplice, Ming Ye rushed out of the banquet to kowtow for her, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried.

He is a child who values ​​affection and righteousness.

Because of this move and the short-term cooperation with Song Guibi, Ming Tan has always had a good impression of the Sixth Brother, and his attitude at the moment is naturally gentle, and he is helping him find an excuse with a smile: "The sun is indeed a bit hot today, It's still cool under the tree. But now that the banquet is about to start, Brother Liu Huang shouldn't stay here for too long, why don't you join us in the banquet?"

Probably because his biological mother and concubine had been confined for a long time and had to live under the fence for more than half a year, Ming Ye's temperament was actually more restrained than Ming Zhao and Ming Wei's. He didn't meet her eyes... Even after hearing the other party's invitation to go with him, he subconsciously made a gesture of resistance, showing a very embarrassed expression.

However, he opened his mouth for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say the words of rejection, and finally he only said: "Then thank you Jiuhuangmei..."

This small face is crying, it seems that Ming Tan is not his imperial sister, but a monster who ran out of a page of Shan Hai Jing, which made the latter's face full of bewilderment, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned the page speechlessly. big white eyes.

What about the six emperor brothers?She no longer has the notorious reputation of being "violent and violent" and "doing evil" for a long time now, okay?

However, since Ming Ye has rejection written all over his body, Ming Tan has no reason to force others to attend the banquet together.She was about to wave her hand, but when she retracted her foreword, she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice from behind, softly saying: "My concubine greets the ninth princess."

Ming Tan paused, turned his head to look, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty Jing?"

——The person who came was none other than Ming Wei's mother and concubine, the nominal adoptive mother of the sixth prince, the quiet nobleman Qiao Danxin.

"Today's Zhuohua Banquet, Song promised not to be there, the sixth prince came with his concubine." Jing nobleman smiled and blessed himself, with a respectful attitude, and explained to Ming Tan the reason for his presence here, "But your majesty has not arrived yet, There were many concubines at the banquet, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was not used to staying there, so he said he wanted to come out for a walk... Seeing that the banquet was about to start, the concubines came out to look for him, but they did not expect to meet the Ninth Princess, you .”

The Burning Blossom Banquet has its own regulations, only concubines who are above the fifth rank are eligible to participate, and Song Xuying is certainly not included in this list.

And since Ming Ye has been adopted under the name of Noble Jing, this kind of occasion should be attended by the latter, otherwise wouldn't it embarrass Noble Jing?

Therefore, Ming Tan didn't think it was strange that Mr. Jing appeared here, he just nodded and asked politely: "Then the Seventh Sister is still waiting at the banquet?"

"Exactly." Nobleman Jing nodded gently, "Yi'er also specifically mentioned to my concubine that I would like to enjoy the flowers with His Highness and Miss Lin today."

Ming Tan squinted his eyes and smiled, just in time Lin Shurong also came to her side, greeted the sixth prince and nobleman Jing one by one, and reminded slowly: "Your Highness, it's getting late."

"Well, let's go ahead first. Empress and Sixth Brother don't miss the hour."

Ming Tan glanced at Ming Ye's slightly nervous expression, and was about to take his leave heartily, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Mrs. Jing.

"By the way, princess, please wait a moment!"

Mrs. Jing's tone sounded a little tense, but she still maintained a smile on her face, and said enthusiastically: "Yesterday, on a whim, I made some cakes with my concubine, and the taste is not bad... I don't know if the Ninth Princess and Miss Lin are here today. Do you have free time? Would you like to do yourself a favor and taste it in Ruilanxuan?"

"Oh? Pastry?"

Ming Tan stood still, turned to look at the other party, and did not answer immediately.

The invitation came really abruptly, and the eyes of nobleman Shangjing who seemed hesitant to speak, and Ming Ye's expression that became stiffer in an instant...

Ming Tan's heart skipped a beat, he pondered for a few seconds, then looked sideways at Lin Shurong.

She hadn't set foot in Rui Lanxuan for a long time, and she and Ming Hao mostly met in the Imperial Garden, Zangshu Pavilion and other places-and Mrs. Jing knew this habit, but suddenly sent an invitation today. Could it be that she had something to say to her and Qingqing? explain?

What will happen?

Mingtan pondered for a while where he and Jinggui could get together, but still couldn't figure it out; on the contrary, Lin Shurong beside him had an idea first, after thinking for a while, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and he blinked suggestively at the former .

The two have been together for many years, and they have a very good understanding. Ming Tan immediately understood the meaning of the other party, nodded slightly, and smiled at the nobleman: "Since this is the case, we must bother you and go to taste the skills of you and Ah Min. "

Jinggui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Of course I won't bother you!"

So after finalizing the matter, Ming Tan didn't stay any longer, turned around and left with Lin Shurong.

But behind them, Jing Guiren and Ming Ye were not in a hurry to go to the banquet, instead they stayed where they were for a long time.

The latter's expression was very tangled, he hesitated for a while, and then called out tentatively: "Ms. Jing..."

"Well," Jing Gui looked at him sideways, paused for a long time, and then sighed, "Just as His Highness thought... the concubine is ready to tell the whole story of 'that matter' to Princess Nine."

Her tone was downplaying, but Mingye's face changed drastically immediately, he grasped the nobleman's hand tightly, and shook his head in horror, "Mistress Jing, Mistress Jing, think twice! If the Nine Emperor Sisters know about this, it will not only be... "His voice was stuck in his throat, and he mumbled those words, and his tone was tinged with fear, "Your Majesty, it's the same, you will be killed!"

"But if the concubine doesn't tell her, there will be even greater disasters."

Jinggui pursed his lips tightly, held Ming Ye back, looked firmly into the other's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness the Sixth! Since you don't care about that seat, you shouldn't hide it! ——Thanks Ah Wei has been friends with the Ninth Princess for many years, and I told her that we still have a chance to survive, otherwise..."

She increased the strength in her hands, fixed her eyes on Ming Ye, and said word by word: "Could it be that you want to be the second Qianwang, and also want Song to agree to be the second Concubine Wan?!"

The effect of this questioning can be called a trump card, and it made Mingye shut his mouth tightly in an instant, and looked at Mrs. Jing in panic, even his lips turned pale, "No... I don't want to..."

"Then listen to Empress Jing!" Noble Jing let out a long breath, gritted his teeth, and his tone became more and more decisive.

"For your mother and concubine, but also for Ah Jun—we can no longer be obsessed with it, follow Xu Chenbi in the opposite direction, and go our own way and continue to make mistakes!"
