The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 18
At the other end, Yan Qing followed Ranqiu through the nine-curved corridor, and walked to a round arched door, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Yan Qing couldn't help but stop, stopped Ranqiu and asked: "Aunt Ranqiu, I heard that there are peonies that bloom all year round in the small garden of Kunwu Palace, but is it true?"

Ran Qiu smiled kindly: "Of course it's true, General Yan wants to see it?"

Yan Qing smiled embarrassedly: "I'll trouble my aunt to lead the way."

Ran Qiu saw the dark color on Yan Qing's sleeves, and thought that just some tea on the sleeves would not be a hindrance, and if you walk through the small garden, you can also reach the side hall, just go a little further.

It was not easy to dampen Yan Qing's interest at the moment, so he took Yan Qing to detour from the small garden.

The small garden of Kunwu Palace is ingeniously designed. There is only a two-person-high flower fence between the side hall and the fence. There is an artificial lake outside the flower fence. A long corridor on the lake connects the nine-curved corridor and the side hall.

From the other end of the promenade, through the specially arranged flower fence, you can vaguely see the competing flowers in the garden. On a sunny day, the scattered light and shadow hit the lake through the flower fence, which is another beautiful scene.

Through the sparse flower hedges in the garden, you can clearly see the scene in the corridor of the side hall.

Such a design was specially constructed by the empress dowager by skilled craftsmen in order to show off to Princess Jingshu.

By setting up a banquet of flowers, the noble ladies sat in the garden, and at the other end of the promenade, a poetry banquet was held to entertain talented men and women, and the noble ladies looked at each other.

Such a favorable location, if you don't make good use of it, you will really be ashamed of the wisdom of your ancestors.

Yan Qing admired the flowers along the way, stepping on the steps, counting the time in his mind, just when he just came out of the small garden, he happened to bump into Concubine Li Gui appearing sneakily in front of the side hall.

Yan Qing didn't even need to hint, Ran Qiu took a step back almost subconsciously, avoiding Concubine Li Gui's vigilant gaze.

"Isn't the imperial concubine not attending the banquet because she was unwell? Why did you come to the side hall at this moment?"

Yan Qing sounded suspiciously, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the banquet, and we will arrange it now?"

Ran Qiu suddenly noticed the sneaky figure of Concubine Li Gui, and her attention was all there. Yan Qing suddenly spoke behind her, which startled her, and followed Yan Qing's words: "Big, probably."

Yan Qing glanced down at Ran Qiu's absent-mindedness, and a smile flashed quickly in Ru Mo's eyes, and walked a few steps towards the small garden, saying: "Since the imperial concubine has something to do in the side hall, it's not easy for me to go Excuse me. It will not be too late to change clothes after the empress leaves."

At this time, Ran Qiu was thinking about how Li Guifei came to the side hall, and because of Yan Qing's fright just now, she felt an inexplicable guilty conscience in front of Yan Qing, and she didn't feel guilty for a while. There was nothing wrong with it, and I didn't mention asking Yan Qing to change clothes in another place, just let Yan Qing admire the flowers in the small garden, but glanced at the side hall from time to time.

After about half a stick of incense, Yan Qing saw Wen Zhemao walking along the corridor from a distance through the fence.

Yan Qing curled his lips calmly, hooked a flower, turned his head and asked Ranqiu softly: "Auntie, can you recognize what kind of flower this is?"

Ran Qiuben was still paying attention to the side hall, and was startled by Yan Qing's call, and turned his head suddenly, but happened to see Wen Zhemao at the other end of the corridor, and was shocked again.

"Aunt Ranqiu?"

Yan Qing yelled again pretending to be puzzled, Ran Qiu shuddered, quickly turned away and walked towards Yan Qing, but looked at the people in the corridor through the fence from time to time.

When Wen Zhemao came over, he happened to see Ranqiu walking towards the small garden from the other end of the corridor. He glanced at the small garden and vaguely saw a figure. He thought it was Yan Linger who sent Ranqiu away.

Xin Dao, this woman is not completely brainless!
Then without thinking too much, taking advantage of the gap that Ran Qiu left, he quickly entered the side hall.

But he didn't want his every move to fall into the two pairs of eyes behind the flower fence.

"The one who just entered was His Royal Highness King Su?"

Yan Qing asked as if he was dazzled, but in fact he kept hinting to Ranqiu, affirming that Wen Zhemao's thoughts about the person who just entered in her heart were Wen Zhemao's thoughts, "The imperial concubine and empress seem to be still inside. Wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

"Is it because the imperial concubine has something to tell His Royal Highness Su, and it is inconvenient for His Royal Highness to leave the banquet for too long, so the two of you made an appointment in the side hall?"

Yan Qing guessed suspiciously, kept drawing Ranqiu's thoughts, and then said something to cover up, "Is it something about the banquet?"

Ran Qiu listened to Yan Qing's questions, and her heart beat like a drum. Regarding Yan Qing's words, she just pretended that she was born in the frontier and didn't understand these rules, and didn't think much about them.

Let me ask, if you don't really understand etiquette, how can you say that the concubine asked the prince to discuss the schedule of the palace banquet?

But if it wasn't for this reason, the lonely man and widow had an appointment in the side hall, and Ran Qiu could think of the secrets in it with his toes.

Ranqiu thought she had caught Li Guifei's handle, and was thinking about how to withdraw and go back to report to the queen, then she heard Yan Qing say again: "Aunt Ranqiu, did you hear any strange voice?"

When Ran Qiu heard the words, she focused her attention, and some small voices from the side hall immediately floated into her ears.

Unable to stay any longer, Ran Qiu hurriedly said to Yan Qing: "Little General, it is inconvenient for someone in the side hall to change clothes. It is also indecent for the little general to wear dirty clothes. Why don't you change clothes with the servant girl in the side hall."

Yan Qing glanced lightly across the side hall of Kunwu Palace, knowing that his goal had been achieved, he said to Ranqiu: "Then I will trouble you, aunt."

Ran Qiu said politely, and quickly took Yan Qing to the side hall of the next palace to change clothes, and quickly returned to the banquet.

At the banquet, after Yan Qing left with Ran Qiu for half an hour, Wang Shuyu, who had had a good conversation with Yan Qing before, couldn't help but slightly frowned.

It's just changing clothes, it's been too long.

In addition, it was really boring to sit in the banquet, so Wang Shuyu excused that the banquet was too boring and wanted to go out to get some air and leave, planning to look for Yan Qing.

There were a large number of people at the banquet, and the lights and shadows were blurred between the toasts. The departure of a few people was not enough to attract the attention of too many people, except those who were already paying attention to these people.

Seeing that Yan Qing hadn't returned for a long time, Meng Shulan who was talking to the emperor became a little absent-minded.

Seeing Meng Shulan's gaze drifting down from time to time, the emperor coughed lightly: "You are going to the western border. The journey is long and the responsibility is heavy. You must be careful. I know you have high expectations for that girl of the Yan family, but the frontier is poor. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and as a woman on the battlefield of the barracks, she has to bear many things that men don't have to bear."

Meng Shulan was silent, rubbing the handsome seal in her hand, with complicated emotions.

"Just like Elder Sister, you value friendship the most. I know you don't like it in your heart, but I don't think you don't understand how many open and covert fights there are in this position."

The emperor's eyes fell back to the singing and dancing in the hall, but he said to Meng Shulan, "If you really think about her, take this position firmly. Or, do you want her to die in a political struggle one day, on the battlefield .”

Meng Shulan's heart tightened, she paused for a moment while rubbing the handsome seal, and said in a deep voice, "My nephew knows..."

"what!"

Before Meng Shulan finished speaking, she suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the side hall!
