Chapter 21 Weiyang Palace

Every year on the fourth day of March, the courtiers and ministers began to change into Luoyi.The begonias in Tianlu Pavilion in Weiyang Palace are in full bloom, and the palace usually holds a banquet in Tianlu Pavilion on this day, the specific size depends on the emperor's order.

And this time the Begonia Banquet coincided with the return of Changle Princess Xiao Ziyi to the court, so the emperor decided to hold a large Begonia Banquet and invite guests to Tianlu Pavilion.

Therefore, Xiao Ziyi stepped out of Changle Palace for the first time and came to Weiyang Palace without any refusal.

The word Weiyang comes from the Book of Songs: "How is the night? Ye Weiyang".Weiyang means unfinished and undeep. It matches Changle and is built next to each other.

Weiyang Palace is about 28 miles long and built on a high platform.Using the terrain of Longshou Mountain as the apse, it is higher than Chang'an City.The area to the south of Weiyang Palace is the imperial garden. The main gate of Weiyang Palace faces north, and there is a magnificent North Tower, and on the east side of it and the passage between Changle Palace, there is an East Tower.The front hall is about fifty feet long from east to west, surrounded by 43 terrace halls and [-] palaces.The decoration of Weiyang Palace is extremely luxurious. Each hall uses fragrant wood as the rafters and apricot wood as the beams and columns. The doors are carved with golden patterns, the facades are decorated with jade, and the rafters are used as pillars.The windows are blue, and the hall steps are red.The wall belts are all made of gold, occasionally mixed with rare jade, and the breeze blows slowly, and the exquisite sound floats for several miles.

Xiao Ziyi tried her best not to look so surprised.She originally thought that Changle Palace was already very luxurious, but she didn't expect Weiyang Palace to be even more exaggerated.It's not like she hasn't seen palaces like the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Forbidden City in modern times.It's just that the grandness is grand, not the delicate and elegant feeling of Weiyang Palace.

Following the eunuch who led the way, Xiao Ziyi first went to the Xuande Hall next to Tianlu Pavilion to meet the emperor and empress, but did not find the empress dowager.Xiao Ziyi was not surprised either. She had asked Xiao Zhan a long time ago and learned that the Empress Dowager lived in Jianzhang Palace outside Chang'an City.Jianzhang Palace is on the west side of Weiyang Palace.The empress dowager rests here on weekdays, and generally does not attend various banquets. The emperor often travels between the two palaces by chariot.

The emperor must have just come to court, and the court clothes have not been changed yet, and his face still has that lukewarm attitude towards Xiao Zi.In contrast, the queen's enthusiastic attitude simply made Xiao Ziyi at a loss.Fortunately, she doesn't have to speak, just use a smile to deal with it.

Fortunately, not long after being held back by the queen, Xiao Zhan jumped out at the right time and grabbed Xiao Ziyi to run towards Tianlu Pavilion.The two of them are at best two children who have not grown up in the eyes of others, so no one has any opinion on their rash behavior.

Tianlu Pavilion is located on the west side of Weiyang Palace. At this time, because the emperor and empress have not yet arrived, and the Begonia Banquet has not yet started, the royal garden in the pavilion is bustling with people.The defense between men and women in the Zhou Dynasty was not very strict, so there were people in twos and threes among the flowers in the imperial garden.

The begonias in Tianlu Pavilion are Xifu Begonias. Ordinary Begonias are scentless and tasteless, but Xifu Begonias are both fragrant and beautiful, which is the top grade among Begonias.Clusters of four to seven blossom upwards.The unopened flower buds are bright red, like rouge, and the blooming flowers gradually change to pink, like dawn and bright clouds. In the morning sun, the begonias stand tall in the wind, and the flowers are bright and charming.

Amidst the heavy fragrance of the flowers, Xiao Ziyi was still blaming Ruozhu for dressing her up a little too grandly this morning, but compared to other beautiful female relatives, she was still far behind.

Xiao Ziyi saw Xiao Zhan dragging her back and forth among the flowers in the imperial garden, as if looking for someone, so she couldn't help squeezing his hand, and asked what was going on.

Xiao Zhan turned around and said with a smile: "Auntie, before the banquet starts, Zhan'er will take you to meet someone, Zhan'er likes him very much!"

What?to meet someone?Could it be that super genius child Xiao Ce?Xiao Ziyi couldn't think of who Xiao Zhan would bring her to meet. After all, they hadn't been together for long, and she hadn't heard him often mentioning anyone in front of her.

Not long after Xiao Zhan led her away, he stopped and said softly, "Ah, brother Yueli is actually chatting with someone, it's really rare!"

Xiao Ziyi followed Xiao Zhan's gaze, and saw two tall and straight figures standing under the blooming crabapple tree not far away.One is dressed in white Shengxue, the other is dressed in blue, their faces are hidden under the flowers, only Xiao Zhan can see the faces of the two handsome guys from the angle of Xiao Zhan.Xiao Ziyi wanted to see the real face of the handsome guy, so she had to take a few steps forward or squat down to the same height as Xiao Zhan, but unfortunately she didn't want to choose either method.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't intend to bother Brother Yueli, Xiao Ziyi followed him and stood by the side to wait.I thought to myself, it's strange, no matter where you look at the two people over there, they must be adults.She thought Xiao Zhan was going to take her to meet a child who was about the same age as Xiao Zhan.

However, this kid actually called that person's elder brother and her aunt. Isn't it just a generation longer?Xiao Ziyi was thinking depressedly while looking carefully.

One of these two people was still wearing a blue official uniform. She didn't know how high the grade of this official uniform was, but it should be a foreign minister.It's just that I don't know which one is the elder brother Yueli that Xiao Zhan is talking about.

At this time, the rising sun in spring had already slowly risen, shining warmly on Xiao Ziyi's face through the flower branches above her head, making her drowsy after standing for a while.Before dawn today, Ruo Zhu dug her out of the bed, and pressed her on the chair to draw left and right.I really saw that she couldn't speak, and couldn't make a sound to protest!

Xiao Ziyi looked at Xiao Zhan's adoring expression and looked at the two people not far away, feeling uncomfortable.snort!Zhan'er is hers!You can only face her with this expression!Xiao Ziyi pricked up her ears unhappily, wanting to hear what they were talking about, but due to the distance, she could only hear a little vague sound.

Even more upset!Just when Xiao Ziyi was about to stretch out her hand to push Xiao Zhan, a clear dialogue suddenly appeared in her ear.

"Yueli, is there anything else you need? I'll go get busy now." A voice as delicate as porcelain came, and Xiao Ziyi almost cried out in fright.Because the voice was so clear that it seemed to be speaking in her ears. In fact, after she listened carefully, she realized that it should be the conversation between the two people standing opposite her.

faint!Why did she suddenly become Shunfenger?Xiao Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Qi Mo had said when he came here that his body should have internal energy, and it should be because of the Qidu powder that sealed the internal energy.Is it because of recovery?

"Hey! You are so fickle! You haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and when you meet, you want to leave. Don't you know that many people are queuing up to see me?" A deliberately sweet male voice When it was heard, Xiao Ziyi's body was successfully covered with goose bumps.

Khan, is this person Tan Yueli whom Xiao Zhan admires?
Did you make a mistake?
