Chunman Palace

Chapter 76

The three springs are beautiful, and the imperial garden is already picturesque.Lin Qingyu looked at the fragrant and bright red outside the Yaohua Pavilion, and was quite interested, so she called Lingqiao to dress herself up and go to the imperial garden to enjoy the spring scenery.

"What are you doing?" Xuan Yin's voice came from the door just as he was about to leave.

Lin Qingyu heard the voice, raised a smile and bowed to the people: "The concubine sees the emperor."

Before she could fully salute, Xuan Yin held her hand, his eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze: "What are you doing with these vain courtesy? From now on, in private, Qing'er doesn't have to abide by these rules in front of me."

Lin Qingyu moved her eyelashes slightly, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "But in private, the emperor is still the emperor of this holy dynasty, and my concubines dare not."

Xuan Yin took her hand, raised his eyebrows like a sword, and said in a serious voice: "Since you didn't dare, why did you dare to leave me alone?"

Lin Qingyu tilted her head in doubt, and thought for a while before she understood the meaning of these words: It turns out that Xuan Yin had already seen her intention to play hard to get, and she did what she did earlier on purpose?

Seeing that the trick was seen through, she couldn't help but blushed, her gaze fell as if dodging, and she said shyly: "Your Majesty has a really good memory, I remember everything for so long."

Xuan Yin put his hand on the back of Lin Qingyu's, and with affection in his eyes, he said solemnly: "Actually, I dote on you more than Qing'er thinks I dote on you, but you are not confident."

Lin Qingyu's smile gradually faded when she heard the words, she fixed the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and asked carefully: "Then, does the emperor love his concubines very much?"

"Naturally." Xuan Yin touched her cheek and said emotionally: "I have never loved a woman so much."

favorite?What is the love for?Do you like poetry, books, singing and dancing, or beauties?The extra word has a completely different meaning.Sure enough, the emperor still didn't fully put his heart on her, not completely emotional.

Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, raised her eyes to look at the person, then lowered her eyes as if shy and stopped talking.

Xuan Yin raised his hand to caress the water hibiscus hairpin on his temple, and asked: "Why, you are dressed so beautifully today, what are you going to do?"

"I heard that the flowers in the imperial garden are all in bloom, and this concubine is going to enjoy the spring scenery."

"Then I will go with you." Xuan Yin took her hand without any explanation, with tenderness in his eyes, he said with a smile: "It is for this reason that I came to find you, Qing'er and I are worthy of a tacit understanding."

Lin Qingyu didn't take it seriously, it was a good time to appreciate the spring, and Xuan Yin ran to her every other day, it was just a coincidence, how did it become a connection?
She smiled, and stroked the silver jade hairpin on her forehead with her hand. The body of the hairpin was as cold as snow, just like Xuan Yin's chest that day, that kind of coldness would be unforgettable until death.

The imperial garden is in full bloom in spring, with sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, beautiful women standing in it, and the sound of Xiao.

I saw the apricot blossoms flying, and the pink and white petals fell on the woman's hair and dress like spring rain, and covered her sleeves, but the woman still played Xiaoqu quietly, like a fairy in the apricot forest, which was touching.

Between the flowers and shadows, the woman's beautiful face is looming, Xuan Yin watched from a distance, already fascinated, and pulled Lin Qingyu to the apricot tree.

"Yue'er? Is that you, Yue'er?" Xuan Yin's voice was full of expectation and longing.

Lin Qingyu was stunned by the name, which newcomer's name was "Yue'er"?How could the emperor fall in love with him so much.

He stepped into the youth, and smiled warmly: "Yue'er, it really is you."

"Concubine Mu Pingting, see the emperor." The woman's voice was solemn and rusty, and Xuan Yin felt a chill in his heart.

Xuan Yin let go of Lin Qingyu's hand, turned to support Mu Pingting, and said softly, "It's not that I said, you don't need to make these empty gifts with me."

Mu Pingting's smile was alienated and cold: "The concubine is afraid and dare not violate the palace rules."

Xuan Yin saw it in his heart and felt sad.The woman he once loved the most is now as indifferent as a stranger with him. It's like throwing a basin of ice and snow on him, sober and cold.

He couldn't help frowning, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yue'er, are you separated from me?"

Mu Pingting's tone was still calm, she took a few steps back, and saluted: "I don't dare, but I just feel cold recently, I really don't dare to show my sickness to the emperor, so I will take my leave first."

Just as she was about to turn around, Xuan Yin stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Your Majesty?!" She struggled in fright, but was hugged even tighter by Xuan Yin, she couldn't help saying annoyedly: "The Emperor really violated the palace rules, and there are still people watching! What if the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager find out..."

Xuan Yin was a little excited and said: "I am the rule, I want to spoil the woman I like, who dares to discuss it?" He said sullenly: "If you don't back down, I will see who dares to spread this matter."

"Yes." Li Qiao waved his hands down, and led the palace people back.

Lin Qingyu was stunned, Xuan Yin didn't go to Xuanji Palace often before, why did it seem like he had been haunted by dreams for a long time when they met each other now?What did Xuan Yin think of him before?Since he likes Mu Pingting, why didn't he come to Xuanji Palace, instead he had to wait for the "meeting and hate late" after many days.

Sure enough, I couldn't ask for it, and I thought about it.

Even if this is not the case, she is still somewhat inferior to Mu Pingting.

Seeing this, Mu Pingting stopped struggling, just sighed, and declined: "Your Majesty, if the concubine transmits her sickness to the emperor, it will be bad. How about letting sister Qingyu accompany the concubine instead?"

After hearing this, Xuan Yin hugged him even tighter.

"I'm not afraid of any illness, Yue'er, I just want you to be by my side." Xuan Yin glanced at Lin Qingyu and said: "Qing'er, go and enjoy the flowers by yourself first, I'll see you later. "

"Yes, the concubine is resigning." Lin Qingyu looked at the couple under the tree with a sense of loss, and left frustrated.

Mo'er followed behind her, and after a long time said: "Don't be discouraged, my lord, the emperor may have not seen Concubine Jin for a long time, that's why he is like this..."

Lin Qingyu interrupted her: "Go back first." She looked at the peach blossoms in full bloom in the distance, and said, "I want to be alone."

"Yes…"

The peach blossoms are scorching, enchanting and hurt the eyes.The fragrance of the flowers flowed into my heart with the wind, warm and intoxicating. Lin Qingyu leaned against the peach tree, picked up a peach blossom that had fallen on the ground, raised her finger to wipe off the soil, and slowly closed it in the palm of her hand.

The jade white dress is as transparent as a jade plate, and the beautiful petals are flying all over the sky, gently falling on her hair, and the warm spring breeze blows the face with a faint fragrance of flowers, wanting to make people drunk.

In a trance, she seemed to see that night when the sky was full of fireflies, and also saw Xuan Yin's cold and tender eyes towards her.

The illusory love, elusive, hard to see through, false and beautiful, makes people almost believe it is true.

Pamper and pet, but there is only pet, no love.

What she was looking for seemed to have been obtained, but it seemed that she had never obtained it.Xuan Yin is indeed by her side most of the time these days, which makes her hopeless heart gradually give birth to some expectations, and she also fantasizes whether Xuan Yin really treats her wholeheartedly, loves her sincerely, and is a unique feeling.

But it was wrong after all.

The emperor's love has always been fading and loving, what is she asking for extravagantly.

Even if Xuan Yin treats her and Mu Pingting like that, is he willing to show a little sincerity?It's just that if Xuan Yin is willing now, she will still think it's fake, and she won't believe it.

She looked at the mottled tree trunk, her eyes were warm and crystal clear, her vision was blurred by tears, and her eye sockets kept spinning.She felt sad for herself, felt worthless, and couldn't help thinking: Is all this just for power and her own wealth?If this is the case, her love is too cheap.

She raised her head, not wanting to cry for that man, but tears slowly fell down her cheeks along the corners of her eyes.

"My lord, this is a belt I made with my own hands, I hope you can accept it."

A woman's soft voice came to her ears, and Lin Qingyu hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, wondering who was so bold to give and receive in private in a place like the Royal Garden.

"My lord? If you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement. Then this belt..." The voice seemed to come from behind the peach tree she was leaning against.

Curiously, she walked around the peach tree, and saw a maid beside the Begonia flower putting the belt in Zeyu's arms.

In broad daylight, the world is bright and clear, so bold.

Lin Qingyu covered her mouth and almost exclaimed.She was shocked by the court lady's bold behavior, but also admired her courage.

Zeyu stepped back indifferently, leaving the court lady in vain. His eyes were stern, and his voice was short and sharp: "No need."

The court lady still didn't give up, she continued to beg her, "Lord Zezu, I have absolutely no other intentions, I just admire you, and want to see the heroic gesture of him wearing this belt!"

Zeyu's face darkened, and he refused in a deep voice: "...No need."

Seeing that this method would not work, the court lady frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "There are gentlemen who are as sharp as sharpening, as sharp as grinding, as gentle as jade." After she finished speaking, she looked at Zezu with affection.

Then he turned his head and left without saying a word.

Lin Qingyu was holding back her laughter, and she didn't know where to find these poems written by Zou Zou. She even used the poems from the pre-Qin period in the "Book of Songs". Fortunately, she managed to come up with this sentence, but unfortunately she didn't. It is suitable for use on Zezuo.

"Qi Ao" was originally used to praise the gentleman's self-cultivation, and it is not wrong to put it on Zeyu, but the sentence "gentle and moist as jade" is really superfluous, gentle and docile... Is Zeyu such a person?Could it be that she misunderstood Zezu's temperament before.

"Okay! I thought Master Zeyou was a trustworthy person, but I didn't expect to be so heartless and ungrateful!" The court lady failed to show her love, and became angry from embarrassment. She quickly walked up to Zeyou, stood on tiptoe and pouted her lips.

In almost a second, the lips of the two will meet.

Fortunately, the ratio is very high.

Fortunately, Ze Zu reacted quickly, so the court lady only caught the air.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyu suddenly held her breath, her face almost turning green.

Although she is not from a famous family, she is much more free than those officials and ladies, but the family rules are quite strict, and her words and deeds are also restrained. She has never seen such a... bold and presumptuous woman.

If the emperor saw this court lady's actions today, wouldn't it be harming herself and herself?

Lin Qingyu thought for a moment, shook the flower branch with her hand to make a sound, and walked straight towards the two of them.

The maid wanted to run away when she saw someone, but Lin Qingyu immediately stopped her.

"Slaves, slaves and maidservants refer to the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and the nobles of the Qing Dynasty are blessed and safe."

Lin Qingyu cut to the chase and said, "I've seen what happened just now."

"Ah?" The maid raised her head in horror, and tremblingly said: "Please don't make this matter public! This servant is begging you."

Lin Qingyu frowned and said, "You were originally afraid of spreading the word, so why did you do such an outrageous thing just now! This is the imperial garden, not to mention the emperor, if someone else sees you today, you will know the consequences of the crime you have received privately. ?”

The palace maid suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy, without the aura that she just ignored her: "I know my mistake! I know my mistake! From now on, I will not dare to disturb Master Zeyi."

Lin Qingyu sighed: "Forget it, go back to work, remember to follow the rules when doing things in the future, and don't make big mistakes."

"My servant, I would like to thank you nobleman Qing." The palace maid responded in a condescending manner, and immediately ran away.

Lin Qingyu watched her go away, and laughed jokingly: "I thought she was a courageous woman, but I didn't want to be so unintimidated, otherwise I would really be suitable for Lord Zeyi!"

Zeyu looked at her in confusion: "Master Qing...why do you think so?"

Afraid of annoying people, Lin Qingyu hurriedly explained: "It's just a joke, Lord Zeyi, please don't take it to heart."

Then he said seriously, "I know."

Lin Qingyu took out the porcelain bottle from her bosom, and said, "Master Zezu entrusted the emperor with ordering this ointment before, and thank you here."

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." He looked at the porcelain bottle, and said after a long time, "Isn't the medicine used up?"

"Run out."

Zeyu looked at the man in puzzlement, and said, "Then why do you still keep the bottle?"

Lin Qingyu explained with a smile: "Your Majesty Zezu doesn't know something, I have a habit since I was a child, that is to collect things with special meanings and emotions, put the heavier ones next to the body, and put the shallower ones in the drawer. "

Zeyu was startled, his stern face like an iceberg was a little moved, and the sharpness between his brows and eyes seemed soft under his ignorance. After a while, he asked slowly, "Do you take this thing seriously?"

Lin Qingyu nodded.

Ze Zu was puzzled and said: "Then you have filled several cabinets with things since you were young."

Lin Qingyu's heart was amused by this stupid look, and his smile became even brighter.

"...Why did Qing nobleman laugh so much?"

Lin Qingyu held back her smile, and said seriously: "If you say it out loud, you will be laughed at by adults. In fact, since I was a child, I haven't received many things with such sincerity."

"Sincerely?" Zezu hugged his arms in a half-understanding manner, his eyes were ignorant, "Then just now, that court lady was also a gift from the heart?"

"Perhaps." With a slight smile in Lin Qingyu's eyes, he looked at him firmly and said, "Sincere heart is a very precious thing, but people only have one sincerity. If it is placed on others, it may not be precious." gone."

"..."

Then he was silent for a while, then walked away.

She rubbed the porcelain vase in her hand, her eyes darkened.

I don't know if you understand it.It's just her sincerity, but I don't know where it was placed?Or maybe, she has been in this deep palace for a long time, and her sincerity has long been consumed by endless calculations.
