The reborn woman returns

Chapter 38

Royal Garden

There are a few slender bamboos planted in the corner of the wall. The slender bamboo leaves sway slightly with the wind and make a slight rustling sound. The lush temples on both sides of the road are blooming quietly, with an intoxicating fragrance, which looks like a light yellow color from a distance. It is full of brilliance, and a quiet picture is paved with flowers and colorful butterflies.But this is not the most beautiful scenery in the imperial garden.The most eye-catching thing in the imperial garden must be the red peony beside the west gazebo. The red color is surrounded by layers of petals that seem to be endless. Soft and charming.But this beautiful and somewhat frightening scene didn't seem to enter the eyes of the people who arrived.

"Princess, that Mrs. Ru Su was so rude just now, why should the princess be polite to her?" Su Yan was still full of anger until now, it was obviously her own post, and when the princess arrived, she But she kept silent, only knew how to toss her flowers, and didn't pay much attention to the princess.

Huo Hanyan walked to the west gazebo and turned to stare at her with a smile on her face. The few silver spring flowers embroidered on the water green pleated skirt added some beauty, and she gathered the milky white shawl on her shoulders.Smilingly comforting her little maid, she patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't be angry, there will never be a next time. Even if there is a next time, why don't we go?"

Seeing the princess's nonchalant expression, Su Yan could only get angry to himself, twisting the handkerchief secretly, burying Mrs. Su in his heart.Realizing that Su Yan hadn't completely let go of it, Huo Hanyan couldn't help sighing, if he had known this before, he would have gone without Su Yan, that person was feeling awkward today.Looking at the beautiful peony with full eyes, I remembered that the place where I live now is a bit too plain, so I changed the subject casually. "Su Yan, you see that the peonies in the Royal Garden are blooming very well, and they are not worse than those in the Liufang Pavilion. Why don't we pick two peonies and put them back to meet the occasion."

"Well, okay. Princess, let's pick the red one, which is the same as the one in our palace." Su Yan pointed to the extremely beautiful and graceful peonies that had been blooming behind Huo Hanyan. "Princess, the one behind you is the most beautiful."

Huo Hanyan turned around and picked off a gorgeous peony not far away. Seeing the petals moving gently with the wind, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, thinking of the peony in Minghui Hall in the palace. It must be so in full bloom, I can't help but feel homesick.But now that Princess Dehui has not been buried yet, the Empress Dowager's mood is also very low, and she dare not mention the words of returning home.

A little girl in pink happened to pass by in the distance, seeing Huo Hanyan holding a peony in her hand, she smiled coquettishly and said to the people beside her, "Sister Chen, look at that sister over there is really pretty."

"Walk well, don't break the rules by looking east and west." The slightly older woman said hurriedly.In the inner courtyard of the palace, there is no freedom of movement at all, and I am always careful to pay attention to my words and deeds, fearing that if I make a mistake, I will cause trouble and hurt my family.

Huo Hanyan was immersed in homesick thoughts when a sharp female voice suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of everyone in the courtyard.

"You guys are so brave, how dare you pick the carmine carefully cultivated by my mother!" The plain maid from the courtyard, carrying a small bucket, hurried over and looked at the peony in Su Yan's hand with anger and said sharply. "Which palace are you from?"

Due to the death of the princess, Huo Hanyan's clothes these days are very clean, and there are only two jade hairpins carved with hibiscus on her hair.Therefore, the court lady did not think of her on the emperor.In the past, women who entered the palace, who were not full of jewels and emeralds, dressed in gold and silver, were magnificent, they thought they were just family members of concubines who were not favored by concubines.Recently, the emperor saw that the harem was quite deserted, and the family members of the concubines were given a special gift to visit the palace. The court ladies in plain clothes glanced at them unobtrusively, and secretly mocked. They all ran to this imperial garden to catch up with the emperor by chance, really shameless.

"Presumptuous!" Su Yan immediately scolded, this court lady dared to yell in front of the princess. "Who gave you the guts to face my house..."

Huo Hanyan saw the maid looking at her with contempt in her eyes, and a peach-colored figure walking towards him not far away, so she stopped Su Yan with her hand to continue speaking.She wants to see which great god is visiting the imperial garden today.

Sure enough, after a while, a charming and enchanting figure appeared, wearing a golden peony walker on his head, and his ironed clothes fluttered with the breeze, outlining his charming figure, his apricot-faced and peach-cheeked face was full of arrogance, his eyes Leaving Huo Hanyan aside, she looked at the maid carrying the bucket. "Yo~ Who is yelling here? Why are you so unruly?"

"My servant pays homage to Empress Xiuyi." The maid put down the wooden barrel, folded her hands on the lower right side, and lowered her eyes. "It was the servants who reprimanded them when they saw them taking the 'carmine' cultivated by the mother without authorization. Please forgive me!"

Zeng Xiuyi glanced at the court lady in Su Yi who was standing aside respectfully.With a raised eyebrow, he sneered and reached out to support Bu Yao on his head. "Which lord's family are the two of you?"

Huo Hanyan nodded slightly to Su Yan, and after Su Yan understood what he meant, she greeted the person in front of her with courtesy and blessings; "My servant Su Yan has seen Xiu Yi." Regardless of the posture of the person in front of him, the rules in this palace are also necessary, otherwise It will only come down to the truth.

"En." Zeng Xiuyi agreed in disgust, then stared at Huo Hanyan, motionless.

Seeing this situation, Huo Hanyan couldn't help chuckling, why?Is this waiting for him to salute her?Except for the empress dowager, the empress and the fourth concubine in the palace, the others didn't need to salute by themselves, so they said nonchalantly, "It's my fault for picking the peonies that Empress Xiuyi cultivated, and I will make amends someday." A few days ago, I heard from people in the palace that the emperor had conferred on a beautiful woman a while ago to perform ritual repairs, and she was quite favored.When I saw it today, I was no longer quite favored, but proud of being favored.

"Hmph!" Seeing her like this, Zeng Xiuyi snorted softly and slapped the maid beside her who was supporting her, and took two steps forward.He sneered, "Apologize? This is a treasure brought from Huo Wang's mansion, can you afford it? Bring it here!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, flattened it, and signaled Huo Hanyan to give her the peony in his hand.

Huo Hanyan sneered in her heart when she heard the words, but she didn't show it at all, and handed the peony over.When he touched Zeng Xiuyi, Peony fell to the ground with a flick of his wrist.Shrugged and said, "I'm really sorry."
