The queen is alluring

Chapter 25

Walking out of the majestic and towering overlapping palaces, after stepping out of the vermilion thick harem gate, there is a walking chariot at the foot of the bluestone road steps, and five servants in black gauze robes and tripod hats are waiting under the tree. Qing, all of them had slightly different complexions, and immediately kowtowed: "The slave's internal supervisor, Li Fanwu, see Miss Wan'er, the slave is honored by the Queen Mother's order, and once again sends the young lady out of the palace respectfully."

Bi Zhu led Yun Qing forward, opened the curtain of the chariot, and said, "Miss Wan'er, please get on the chariot."

Yun Qing glanced expressionlessly at the nameless servant, but didn't speak, and stepped onto the chariot with her skirt in her little hand.The sedan chair curtain fell, and Li Fanwu sang loudly: "Get up the chariot", and then the chariot was lifted, and walked slowly towards the main entrance of Fengluan in the harem on the east side of the imperial garden.

The main entrance of Fengluan is the vermilion gate to enter the harem. Except for the concubines and concubines of the third rank and above, other women and palace eunuchs must enter through the small gate on the west side, so this road is always empty and no one passes by.

After walking for a while, the chariot has shuttled into the imperial garden, surrounded by cicadas and birds, and the scenery is dismal.Even through the bead curtains and tulle, you can still see Loulan carvings everywhere, beautiful peonies, black pebble roads spreading from quiet pavilions, unique arch bridges, green lakes, lotus ponds and Furong lakes, blue waves and bright reds. match each other.

The Qixi Festival is not very interesting for those maids who come and go every five years, but it is also fresh and lively. Therefore, you can see frolicking birds and fluttering green butterflies on the garden terrace from time to time, and the lotus flowers in the fish pond. , there are even a few palace ladies playing in the water and writing inscriptions on the red leaves, laughing and playing.

Suddenly, the chariot stopped.

"Miss Wan'er, the chariot of His Royal Highness King Shou is ahead," Bizhu said slowly, lifting the curtain of the chariot.

Yun Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and only built a bright yellow chariot in front of the chariot. The beaded curtain on the chariot swayed, and the gauze curtain was lifted by the wind. Accompanied by a suppressed intermittent coughing sound.

When the bright yellow chariot passed by the walking chariot, the people on the chariot unintentionally glanced this way, and then a hoarse voice sounded: "Stop!"

Several servants in black hurriedly stopped the chariot, opened the gauze curtain embroidered with gold silk, and said nervously, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Ling Yeyun pinched a snow-white silk handkerchief to his lips, coughed twice, and then waved his hand to signal the servant to step back, while he himself got out of the chariot and walked towards Yunqing's chariot.Then, when he saw a petite bright red figure in the chariot, he was taken aback, and the cough became more intense.

Under the scorching sun, Ling Yeyun was dressed in a moon-white nine-python gown, her hair was tied with a purple jade and gold crown, and bright yellow jade pearl necklaces hung down on both sides of her hair.He walked toward the cloud with the sun behind his back, and the totem of the golden embroidered python enveloped him like an indifferent god in the sun.The depressive cough gradually rose and fell, covering up the chirping of cicadas and birds in the depths of the garden, making people feel unspeakably distressed.

Longevity King Ling Yeyun walked up to Yun Qing's chariot, and he committed himself to look into the sedan chair. Even though he was holding a silk handkerchief and couldn't cough lightly, he was still so graceful, gentle and indifferent.

When he saw Yun Qing, his eyes flickered with surprise and unprecedented gloom, and he asked anxiously: "It's really you..." Then, he seemed to realize that his tone was serious, so he turned and let go With a soft voice, he said, "Why did Wan'er enter the palace today?"

Yun Qing looked at Ling Yeyun's slightly pale handsome face and the haggard hidden between his brows and eyes with doubts in his heart, opened his lips, raised his delicate and lovely face, and said with a sweet smile: "So it's Brother Yun, he's in great shape ? Today's Qixi Festival, the queen mother ordered my brother to send me into the palace."

Ling Yeyun's eyes were dim, but he smiled lightly, as if he was absent-minded, and said: "It's all over, since the queen mother let you enter the palace, why are you leaving now? Or... are you going somewhere else?" ?”

Yun Qing shook his head, tilted his head and said, "It's been all morning, and my brother is still waiting outside the palace."

"It's like this..." Vaguely, I heard Ling Yeyun breathe a sigh of relief, and then I saw that his gloomy expression eased a little, and a weak and relieved smile appeared on his slightly dry, knife-thin lips, and he said softly: "It turns out that General Leng escorted Wan'er, so Brother Yun can rest assured. Today's weather is hot and dull, and it is indeed time to leave the palace, so as not to suffer from the heat."

Yun Qing nodded obediently and obediently, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun is coughing again, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise Wan'er will feel distressed."

Ling Yeyun slightly confirmed, his eyes suddenly softened, he looked at Yun Qing dotingly, and reached out to touch her head.

But for some reason, that white and slender hand stopped suddenly when it was about to touch Yun Qingke's small face. Ling Yeyun's face paused, and he withdrew his hand stiffly, and coughed like a broken one. There was a slight tremor, which subsided after a while.When she raised her head again, she smiled apologetically at Yun Qing, and said in a low voice, "Next time you enter the palace, don't wear such gorgeous clothes...it's too dazzling."

Yun Qing was slightly stunned, but Ling Yeyun had already put down the curtain, and his voice was slightly hoarse, and he ordered the servant, "It's hot now, take a basin of ice cubes from the king's chariot Come and put it in Miss Wan'er's walking carriage, so that Miss Wan'er won't suffer from the heat, and later, the imperial driver will go to Jianzhang Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, hurry up and go."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of broken coughing.Ling Yeyun seemed to be trying to suppress something, through the car curtain, he waved his hand to the servant.

"Yes" the waiter and Bizhu answered together, then Bizhu took a golden basin of ice from a waiter who handed it a golden basin, turned around and carefully lifted the curtain, and placed it in Yunqing's walking carriage, After clapping their hands, the walking chariot was lifted up again, and they continued to move forward unsteadily.

The walking chariot passed by Ling Yeyun, and within a short distance, he heard a burst of severe and broken coughing, followed by the sounds of several servants exclaiming in panic and handing out spittoons and changing handkerchiefs.

Yun Qing raised her brows tightly, but her heart tightened for a while.When the chariot passed through the imperial garden, Yun Qing slowly opened the bead curtain and gauze cover beside the window, and looked behind her, only to see the chariot in the garden still parked in place, and the moon-white figure Then, like a rickety old man, being supported by a few servants, he kept coughing, covering his lips and coughing...

Out of the harem, in front of the towering vermilion palace gate, about twenty soldiers in blue armor stood guard with swords, a sweaty horse with beautiful gray and black long mane, and a black robe and armor in the cold war sky, with a heroic appearance. Standing coolly in the wind.Seeing the chariot coming out, he immediately jumped off the horse and strode towards it.

When Bizhu and the two nuns saw Leng Zhantian, they were stupefied at first, and then they came back to their senses and kowtowed to the ground: "Your servant sees General Leng."
