The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 16

While speaking, he walked around a green lotus seat and walked into the small garden.

I have to say that although the other garden in the Hou Mansion is not too big, it is indeed exquisite and lovely.

Nan'an County is rich in water sources, and the entire small garden also starts from the water.

Drainage and planting trees, covered bridges and small platforms, and the places where the road should be walked are all made of skillful pine wood tenon and tenon.Many common but lovely flowers and plants compete and scatter from the water in the small garden. Even if it is only early spring at this moment, you can see the abundant grass and green tapestry, and the beautiful trees are verdant.The water in the garden is gurgling slowly, following the footsteps of the guests to the depths of the courtyard.

Yuqian looked around, a little puzzled.

Except for the boy leading the way, no one followed them.How can the Marquis of Guang'an rest assured that he is the eagle dog of Duke Qi's mansion?

Boyi seemed to understand the doubt in Yu Qiansi's shallow eyes.

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "The Duke of Qi's mansion is really powerful, and the Marquis of Guang'an also wants to sell it to you."

Yu Qiansi understood the meaning behind Bo Yi's words, and said, "If I saw him for the first time today, I might believe it."

That night I made a scene in the mourning hall, Yu Feng wished he could devour flesh and blood, and tore me apart.

"That's wrong." Boyi smiled coldly: "The relationship between the saint and the young prince should be good."

Yu Qiansi squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at Bo Yi, "I've never been too lazy to think about court affairs."

If you want to set me up, dream.

Bo Yi raised his hand and picked a blade of grass beside the road, playing with it casually, and said, "I just want to say, after all, the saint also has the blood of Duke Qi's family. Regardless of their identities as monarchs and ministers, they are also cousins."

The pavilion is like a cover, and the fine sunlight squeezes through the lush branches and leaves, reflecting Yu Qiansi's whole body mottled lightly, and Boyi can only smell the fragrance.

The grass plants in this other garden are indeed extraordinarily lush.

He paused, and continued: "The sage has been on the throne for a long time, and there is no more trouble. They are now putting on airs, how can they care about the Cheng family's affection? They are just looking for a good reason to try to decentralize power That's all. Now that the saints rely heavily on the Duke of Qi's mansion, they just can't steal the meat, so they are impatient. The reason they frown at you that day is because there are so many people in the hall, they have to do it. But today, there is no one else, so naturally they want to ask you Be nice."

Yu Qiansi disagreed with this very much, and retorted: "Yesterday, the princess made a big fuss at the funeral. If he stops me today and doesn't let me investigate, it will make people suspicious, and people will think that they are from the Guang'an Hou Mansion. There is a problem. But if the door is really opened for me to investigate the death of the old lady, they will lose face even more in the Marquis of Guang'an. Now I have given him a step up, using the case of the housekeeper to let me investigate in a fair manner, and wait for the matter of the housekeeper After the truth comes out, everything will be easy to talk about later.”

As for what Bo Yi said, she didn't bother to bother about the relationship between the court and the court.

While talking, the two looked up and saw Yu Anning stopped in front of a small courtyard, waiting for them to go.Boyi shrugged, casually threw away the blade of grass in his hand, and didn't answer any more.Yu Qiansi also had a serious look on her face.

Turning around the last corridor, the group stopped outside the Fengting Garden where the old lady lived.

The young man didn't dare to wait for a long time in the inner courtyard. Seeing that the person had been delivered, he saluted and left.

Yu Anning stood at the gate of Fengting Garden, with her back to the two of them, her eyes moist.

With her thin back, it seems that she has nothing to do with the name of flying and domineering at the moment, but only makes people feel thin and pathetic.

"Princess, my condolences."

After all, Yuqiansi couldn't hold back, and first spoke softly to comfort her.

Yuqiansi is born with a beautiful and lovable skin. In the past, her sharp teeth and sharp mouth made it impossible to ignore her beauty, let alone at this moment she intends to be pleasing.

Hearing Yu Qiansi's soft tone for the first time, Boyi looked sideways.But the woman's downcast eyes and heart-wrenching appearance were indeed very bewildering, and she couldn't help but coldly snorted: She was indeed like a rakshasa, ever-changing and good at seducing.

Yu Anning smiled lightly, feeling warm in her heart, pushed open the door, and walked in with the two of them.

Walking through the corridor and passing the wind pavilion, Yu Qiansi and Bo Yi noticed something strange in the courtyard.

This Fengting Pavilion stands in the middle of Fengting Garden, which implies the name of "Fengting".Just looking around, the exuberant spring seems to have rested outside the yard. In the huge yard, there are only some green flower stalks that have been cut off in the middle, and none of the flowers and trees are complete.

According to Lin Shen, the old lady liked to take care of flowers and plants since she was a child, and the unique scenery along the way just now was all written by the old lady.Why is there such a scene in my own yard.

Yu Anning seemed to understand their thoughts, and was a little embarrassed.

He explained: "This garden was supposed to be more beautiful than the small garden you saw outside. After my grandmother left, I ordered them to cut out all the spring scenery in the garden, and collect all the decorations that my grandmother loved in this yard. Wake up, I was buried with my grandmother yesterday morning."

No wonder.Yu Qiansi looked around, but found something strange.

"Why are the colors and textures of these soils different? But what is there to say?"

The nearby flower stalks are sparse and uneven, unable to cover the soil in the garden, and you can see the different colors of the scattered soil bags at a glance.

Boyi laughed at Yu Qiansi's ignorance, and pointed out: "The small piece of black is peat soil, the fluffy one is leaf humus, and the one with small stones is the most common garden soil. That, is landslide."

Boyi is like a treasure, and he swears in his heart: Is this like a god in judging cases?Now he is a little suspicious that Yu Qiansi's name is exaggerated.

Yuqiansi squinted her eyes to cover the dangerous light inside, and said lightly, "I didn't know that Weiran Academy also taught gardening skills in addition to horseback riding and archery?"

Boyi choked, knowing that he was getting carried away, so he stopped talking.

Yu Qiansi snorted coldly and only asked one question.

"It's just a small garden, does it need so many different soil materials piled together?"

She is not a person with shallow knowledge, but she has never encountered so many different soil materials in just an inch square around the pavilion.Such maintenance is not something that can be dealt with with extra effort.

Bo Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he looked into the garden again, not feeling as complacent as before, and thinking a little more.

"That's true. The soil quality is different, and the distance between flowers is not too large. Watering and composting is troublesome. Growing flowers like this is indeed a bit too cumbersome."

Yu Anning stepped forward to identify them: "Freesia, Lishi, Phnom Penh Daphne, Baijie, Yuetao"

Yuqiansi listened carefully, and it was indeed common flowers and plants in ordinary gardens, she suddenly realized.

You can always feel the breeze in the wind pavilion. The flowering periods of these flowers are different, and all of them are fragrant.I'm afraid it's really suitable for people in the pavilion to feel the pleasant fragrance all year round.

Boyi rubbed his nose, a little annoyed: "No wonder, so many flowers mixed together, no wonder the taste is so sweet."

From the moment I stepped into the pavilion, I could smell a vaguely greasy fragrance, and I couldn't find the source of the fragrance, which made people feel bored.

fragrance?

Yu Anning was a little confused.

"My lord, ah, what does Mr. Uncle mean by this? The flowers in the garden have been gone for four or five days, and even the gauze curtains in the pavilion are gone. Where does the fragrance come from?"

Maybe it was a long wait, but a nun greeted her from the main room.Hearing their conversation in the wind pavilion just in time, his feet froze, and seeing Yu Anning's back, his footsteps were messy, full of worry.

She took a few steps forward and said with concern: "Princess, you are back! Master Hou didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Yu Anning turned her head to see Sister Cuizhu, her slightly gloomy face suddenly lit up, and she felt much more at ease.

Quickly introduced: "This is Sister Cuizhu, who is personally served by my grandmother and is responsible for her food and daily life."

Yesterday, thanks to Nanny Cuizhu and his son Wutong, he was able to escape from the mansion and go to the capital to seek advice.

But also because of this, Cuizhu was startled and worried, for fear that something might happen to the princess.Just now when the people below reported that she not only came back safely, but also brought people to offer incense, she felt relieved.But after waiting for a while, no one came, worried that something might have gone wrong, so he came to meet him.

"Mommy, don't worry. This is the famous Yusi Yin I mentioned before."

Cuizhu quickly saluted, and Yuqian nodded in greeting.

"Please ask the princess to take us around the courtyard and point out the situation that day."

Cuizhu was a little absent-minded from the beginning, and she was a little apprehensive when she heard the words. She bowed deeply to Yuqiansi and asked, "Did you really suspect that there is something wrong with the old lady's matter?"
