The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 84
Now he has everything, but he can never see the sweet and eccentric An Ning in his memory.

The wings are full, but the beauty is gone, this is probably the most depressing thing in the world.

Murong Shen withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip slowly.

Li Yu was still reading a book with a sad face on the side. Although Murong Jin wanted to go out very much, she still stayed with her loyally. The guards were all guarding outside the door.

It's just that there are two girls missing, and the atmosphere in the room instantly becomes a little different.

Murong Shen's gaze sank, and he looked out of the window again.

……

"Zhaoqing, I didn't expect it to be very fun in this mountain." Outside the bamboo house, Lin Xirong held the hem of her skirt in one hand and Ye Zhaoqing in the other. The wild duck smiled from ear to ear: "This is not such a beautiful scenery in the capital!"

"Miss Xiangfu, you are so interested in a duck." Ye Zhaoqing smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I really don't know what to tell me about you."

"Aren't you curious?" Lin Xirong turned her head to look at her with great interest, and said, "Zhaoqing, why do you always give me the feeling that you have traveled many places, and you always know more than I do. "

Ye Zhaoqing's heart was moved when he heard the words, he glanced at Lin Xirong and said, "I'm an orphan girl who is not welcomed by the Marquis Mansion. My father and mother don't love me. The place I stay most often is the Jokhang Temple. What kind of experience can I have?"

"I can't say, but I just think you know more than I do." Lin Xirong tilted her head and thought for a while, then said.

Ye Zhaoqing laughed when he heard the words: "Probably because I often listen to Buddhist scriptures in the Jokhang Temple! Those masters who lectured on the scriptures would occasionally talk about what they saw and heard when they traveled abroad. I remembered it when I was curious. Living."

"Really? Then I'll go to the Jokhang Temple to listen to the scriptures!" Lin Xirong immediately said with great interest when he heard this: "We boudoir girls are restricted by their status and cannot travel freely at all. We can't compare with those Scholars and officials are knowledgeable, otherwise, why would there be a saying that women have long hair and short knowledge? Since you can’t go there in person, it’s good to listen to other people’s stories.”

Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Are you sure you want to do this? I listened to the scriptures in the Jokhang Temple, it was a last resort, but my grandmother sent someone to watch in the Jokhang Temple! You are different, Lin Xiang and his wife are so loving You, as well as Mrs. Lin, wish you could melt in the palm of your hand, how could you be willing to go to such a place?"

"But, I also want to learn more?" Lin Xirong said a little sadly when she heard the words, she knew that what Ye Zhaoqing was telling was the truth, and it was simply impossible for her to go to the Jokhang Temple.

"There are so many ways, why bother?" Ye Zhaoqing smiled and said, "The time I lived in the Jokhang Temple was the most boring and boring experience. I don't want to go there. Are you sure you want to go?"

Hearing what she said, a lot of scenes of monks chanting scriptures with their eyes closed suddenly appeared in Lin Xirong's mind, as well as the plates of vegetarian dishes that didn't even have oil residue, and scriptures that he couldn't understand, filling the sky. The scent of incense ash, she immediately shook her head: "Then I'm not going! I want to know, just listen to you!"

"That's okay." Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile when he heard the words: "Amitabha, you finally think about it!"

Lin Xirong burst out laughing when she heard that she actually recited the Buddha's name like those elderly ladies.

But with a smile, she suddenly felt melancholy again: "Such opportunities must be running out. In seven days, you will marry into the palace, and we won't be able to see each other often in the future."

"It's nothing, when the time comes, I'll send someone to announce you to the palace, won't that be enough?" Ye Zhaoqing comforted with a smile: "It's just that after all, you won't be as free as you are outside."

The imperial palace full of intrigues, the concubine Rong who is smiling but not smiling, and a lot of opponents who can't tell in secret, thinking of these, Ye Zhaoqing suddenly regretted, she didn't know whether the words she just said were right or not. wrong.

"Okay! I'll definitely go then!" Lin Xirong became excited when she heard the words. She nodded repeatedly and said, "At that time, let's see how you, the crown princess, order the side concubines in the harem. Think about that scene. Mighty and domineering!"

"You won't be able to see this for a while." Ye Zhaoqing smiled and said, "For the time being, Concubine Rong has no plans to accept a side concubine for His Highness."

Lin Xirong was stunned when she heard the words: "Why?"

"It's hard to say." Ye Zhaoqing sighed and said, "It's not for me anyway. Well, let's not talk about this, we have played here long enough, let's go for a walk in the woods?"

"Okay!" Lin Xirong immediately agreed, she could see that Ye Zhaoqing didn't want to continue this topic, so she wisely shut up.

However, walking on the cobblestone path in the forest, she couldn't help but said after all: "Zhaoqing, in fact, I think Concubine Rong is very kind to you. It’s a good thing! You have to hurry up and get pregnant with a dragon heir as soon as possible..."

"Xi Rong, maybe if my mother is still here, it's just you nagging?" Ye Zhaoqing's head grew dizzy after hearing this: "Look at you, how can a beautiful girl look like an old woman?" What? If Murong Jin sees you like this, he must be full of helplessness, right?"

Lin Xirong couldn't help but blushed when she heard the words, and said coquettishly, "Zhaoqing, you're making fun of me again!"

"Okay, I'm not kidding you." Ye Zhaoqing smiled, and changed the topic: "By the way, why didn't Linger follow you when you went out this time?"

Lin Xirong's complexion couldn't help changing when she heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Zhaoqing, and said in a low voice: "Zhaoqing, I called her over to ask before we left, but Linger said that she still has to prepare for her marriage." Yi, I won’t come. I didn’t force her.”

"Your mother agreed to her marriage with that Xu Zhao?" Ye Zhaoqing asked.

Lin Xirong nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Zhaoqing laughed when he heard the words: "So, I have to prepare a gift for her, after all, a master and a servant."

"Zhaoqing, don't be sad." Seeing this, Lin Xirong said worriedly: "I'm also angry with Ling'er. You treat her well, but she won't even see you! When you enter the palace in the future, even more There is no chance, why is this girl so hard-hearted?"

Ye Zhaoqing shook his head when he heard the words and said: "Don't say that, she doesn't want to come, maybe it's because she doesn't want to see me, maybe it's because of guilt or maybe it's because of the guilt in her heart, that girl has a good heart, but she just can't live with love, take care of her more in the future Some, I'm counting on you."

"Don't worry." Lin Xirong nodded immediately after hearing the words: "I will definitely take care of her." He said, hesitantly said: "It's just that I really can't understand Linger's face, and now she is only allowed to work in our courtyard." I'm a third-class maid who does some cleaning and other work on weekdays, but the monthly money is given according to the big maid's share, Zhaoqing, you don't blame me, do you?"

"How come, you are willing to take care of her more, I am already very satisfied." Ye Zhaoqing said: "Liu'er doesn't need to be given a title with me, she is the only girl by my side, all the benefits are hers. " Said, laughed.

Lin Xirong frowned slightly when she heard the words: "That girl Liu'er has a bit of a temper, and she is also careless in doing things. If there is anything wrong, you can punish her severely! Don't worry about my face!" After saying that, she paused Said: "By the way, why didn't that girl come today?"

"She was frightened last night, I let her rest in the room." Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile: "That girl misses you so much, you should go see her when you go back."

"That can't be done!" Lin Xirong immediately shook her head: "She is your girl now, and she only thinks of you in her heart. How can she keep thinking of me? I won't go to see her!"

Ye Zhaoqing raised his brows, approached Lin Xirong and said with a smile, "I heard that Liu'er is the most capable girl by your side, so why don't you just take a look at her?"

"No!" Lin Xirong replied decisively.

Hearing the words, Ye Zhaoqing could only sigh and said, "Okay, then I will take Liu'er to see you when I go back."

Lin Xirong: "..."

Well, she really didn't understand where Ye Zhaoqing's stubbornness came from.But the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

After being so frightened last night, was that girl Liu Er frightened?
Yes, go check it out.

Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help laughing himself.

"Roar--"

At this moment, in the forest not far from the two of them, there was a sound of a tiger howling suddenly, accompanied by the earth trembling and the mountains shaking. Lin Xirong's legs gave way and she immediately fell down.

"Xi Rong!" Ye Zhaoqing quickly stretched out his hand and pulled her up from the ground, and the two turned their heads to look in the direction of the roaring tiger, but the forest was dense and they couldn't see anything.

Ye Zhaoqing's face sank like water, she turned her head to look at Lin Xirong who was frightened, and regretted taking her out like this, but this is not the time to regret.

"Stay here, I'll go ahead and have a look!" Ye Zhaoqing said.

Lin Xirong immediately became nervous when she heard the words, she grabbed Ye Zhaoqing's hand and said, "Don't go! The tiger's temper is the most capricious. Last time Huahua seemed to take good care of you, but today it may not recognize you! Too It's dangerous, don't go!"

"No, I have to go!" Ye Zhaoqing shook his head and said, "Huahua must be in danger, otherwise it wouldn't bark so fast! I can't let it go!"

"Zhaoqing!" Lin Xirong said anxiously: "Don't go, this forest is the domain of Master Taifu, and Huahua is his domesticated beast, he will not let anything happen!"

"But Murong Shen isn't here at the moment." Ye Zhaoqing said in a deep voice, "It didn't take a moment to come here from the wooden house, it's too late!" She said, she slowly pushed Lin Xirong away from holding her finger, and said firmly: "Xi Rong, you go back, go back to the wooden house, and tell Murong Shen to come quickly!"

"Zhaoqing!" Lin Xirong wanted to persuade her again, but Ye Zhaoqing said first, "Xirong! I beg you! Is it done?"

Seeing her serious face, Lin Xirong felt a little speechless for a moment.

"Go! Time is running out!" Ye Zhaoqing urged.

"Then, be careful yourself..." Lin Xirong had no choice but to give a few instructions, reluctantly cast a glance at Ye Zhaoqing, turned around and ran towards the way she came, because she was tripped by her skirt because she was walking too fast for a moment.

But the next moment, she got up from the ground and walked even faster!
Ye Zhaoqing took a fixed look at her, then turned around abruptly and ran towards the direction where Huahua was screaming!
She didn't see that there were two figures flashing away on the treetop beside her.

Ye Zhaoqing walked quickly, turned around a dense tree shade, and the scene in front of her immediately surprised her.

I saw that nets had already been cast in the clearing in the forest. In the densely packed fishing nets, there was a fierce tiger that could not stop neighing and struggling. Who else could it be?

And controlling the fishing net is a group of guards holding daggers and long swords. The blades in their hands shone brightly in the sun, and Ye Zhaoqing was terrified when he saw it.

"What are you doing? Why are you catching it?" Ye Zhaoqing walked over immediately and shouted loudly: "This is the taming beast of the current Tai Tuo, don't you know?"

When she shouted like this, all the guards turned their heads in unison.

"Where did the yellow-haired girl come from? How dare you meddle in your own business?" A long-faced guard at the head walked over with a dark face and said, "Get out!"

Ye Zhaoqing stood there as steady as Mount Tai, and the aura exuded from his whole body made these people secretly surprised, but they still didn't pay attention to her.

"You'd better leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." When the leader saw Ye Zhaoqing ignore his words, a sneer appeared on his face.

"I just want to ask you, do you know who tamed this beast?" Ye Zhaoqing asked word by word.

As soon as this remark came out, the guards were stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Isn't it Murong Shen's? So what? We are sent by the third prince! Our prince wants to eat tiger gallbladder, but There is only one fierce tiger around the capital, we can only come and catch it back! Even the emperor didn't say anything, so what's the use of Murong Shen coming?"

"Third Prince??" Ye Zhaoqing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then a round-headed young man appeared in his mind. Both the father and the current emperor like him very much.

After so many years, I didn't expect him to still be so popular.

However, today's matter doesn't look like what he did at all, does it?
Ye Zhaoqing was puzzled, and immediately asked: "You are not lying, are you? You deliberately acted wildly here under the banner of the third prince. Don't you really fear that Master Taifu will arrest you all?"

"Hahaha!" The guards sneered again: "Of course we belong to the Third Prince! We have tokens to prove it!"

As soon as the words finished, the leader immediately took out a glittering golden jade tablet from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Zhaoqing.

Under the golden sunlight, a word on the jade pendant glowed brightly, somewhat hurting Ye Zhaoqing's eyes.

The single name of the Three Princes is a Chengzi, so the jade tablet has a Chengzi.

"It turned out to be true..." Ye Zhaoqing murmured.

"Look at you, you are also a smart person. Now that you have confirmed it, please leave! Don't delay our work." The leader saw that Ye Zhaoqing was gorgeously dressed, not like a woman from an ordinary family, and had a beautiful appearance, so he immediately became polite Not a lot.

However, Ye Zhaoqing stood there but did not leave: "Tiger meat is not tasty, it is sour and astringent, what's more, this tiger is old, at least seven or eight years old, you can take this tiger back and give it to three people." The lord is on a business, are you afraid that he will peel your skin in a fit of rage?"

As soon as this statement came out, all the guards were stunned.

"Girl, I'm afraid you don't understand." The leading guard said: "Our lord wants this tiger not just for meat, look how smooth the fur is, it can be peeled off to make a cloak or a blanket. And its gall can also be used as medicine, our lord has countless courtesses all year round, and it is precisely the tiger gall that is needed to nourish the body."

As soon as this remark came out, all the guards immediately burst out laughing, and some even had the courage to look Ye Zhaoqing up and down a few times and said: "Little girl, you won't understand all these feelings! Hahaha!"

If Lin Xirong was here, hearing these slanderous words, she would have blushed with anger, turned around and left.

But Ye Zhaoqing stood there with a calm face, and when the guards had laughed enough, she said: "You don't have to have tiger gallbladder to nourish the kidney, like mutton, in fact, the effect of nourishing the kidney is the best, and there is also yam, It has a flat taste and a sweet taste, and is a "top-grade" medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of nourishing the lungs and spleen, and can nourish the kidney and replenish essence. Eat it often. Bass, also known as perch, perch, flat in nature and sweet in taste, can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, but also nourish the liver and kidney, and benefit the muscles and bones. Chestnuts, warm in nature and sweet in taste, can eliminate..."

"Stop! You're a little girl, how can you understand this?" After Ye Zhaoqing's long speech, he was dumbfounded by these guards.Everyone looked at him like a ghost, and some couldn't help but take a few steps back.

With this movement, the dormant Huahua in the fishing net instantly waited for an opportunity to move!It opened its bloody mouth wide and roared at the guard!

"My god!" When the guard turned around, he saw a bloody mouth that seemed to swallow his whole head. His legs softened in fright, and he fell to the ground with the fishing net line in his hand. It fell off.

In an instant, a gap was opened in the originally tightly sealed fishing net.

Hua Hua is so fine, he jumped out of the fishing net when he saw the right time!

"Quick! Stop it!" At this moment, the guards no longer cared about chatting with Ye Zhaoqing, and hurriedly waved the big net in their hands vigorously, trying to cover it again.

But Huahua didn't love to fight at all, as soon as she escaped from the net, she flew out like flying!It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"You little girl, who the hell are you!"

The leading guard saw that the beast that everyone had worked so hard to capture was released so easily, he was furious, and kicked the guard who couldn't hold the fishing net line firmly on the belly, making him roll his eyes .

But he didn't let Ye Zhaoqing go. After putting down the guards, he turned his head to look at Ye Zhaoqing sinisterly and said, "Because of you, the tiger ran away. In order not to make the third prince angry, we had no choice but to take you back." It's time for business!" As he spoke, he looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down a few times, and said with some disdain: "Although you can't compare with the stunning beauty in our lord's mansion, you are still better than the girl, come and catch her here!"

As soon as he gave an order, a group of guards who had seen Ye Zhaoqing's displeasure for a long time rushed over ferociously!
But at this moment, there was a loud voice in the woods: "I will see if any of you dare to touch her!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop, and then they saw clearly behind Ye Zhaoqing that there was an extra person at some point, dressed in a purple robe, who was it if it wasn't Li Yu?
Because of hurrying on the road, there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was still panting slightly, but Li Yu didn't care about it at all. He looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down several times to make sure that she was unscathed, Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"What are you going to do to this princess?" Li Yu turned his head and said coldly.

"Mother, Crown Princess?" The group of guards on the opposite side were all dumbfounded.

Damn!They can be regarded as kicking the iron plate!
This Li Yu has always been protective, now that they want to arrest the Crown Princess, how could he spare them?God!What a fleeting time!

"Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." The leading guard flattered his face: "You guys don't even know that she is Miss Ye! She ran in suddenly, and it was very easy for the little ones to be captured." The ferocious beasts were let go, and the little ones had no choice but to..."

"Bullshit!" Li Yu took a step forward and kicked the leading guard fiercely, knocking him to the ground: "Who told you to catch Huahua here? Don't you know it was domesticated by Master Bengong?" ?”

"Your Highness! Misunderstanding!" The leading guard kept complaining, but he didn't dare to push the matter to the Third Prince, he just said: "I really don't know, little one!"

"It's strange if you don't know." Ye Zhaoqing said coldly: "I stopped it just now, and these people kept saying that they came here to catch flowers under the order of the third prince! They also said that they would use its tiger gallbladder to make medicine. Its fur is made into a cloak, and I told them plainly that it was domesticated by the Tai Tuo, but they didn't pay attention to the Tai Tuo at all."

When Li Yu heard it, his expression sank immediately: "Is this the case?"

"Your Highness! This is blood spitting! How dare you little ones!" The leading guard did not expect Ye Zhaoqing to expose him to his face, and immediately hated him secretly, but he didn't show it at all, he just kept begging: "The third prince is just I ordered the little ones to capture the beasts and go back, but did not specify to capture the tamed tigers of the Tai Tuo, this is all a misunderstanding..."

Ye Zhaoqing sneered when he heard the words: "You really know how to argue!" Then, he turned his head and glanced at Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, let someone search him. He has a token of the Third Prince, which can prove that Everything I just said is true."

Li Yu waved his hand when he heard the words, a hidden guard suddenly jumped out of the forest, stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the leader.

He still wanted to resist, but Qiao Yu slammed his fist hard on his face, and blood spurted out all over his face.

Qiao Yu unceremoniously reached out and groped on him, and found the jade pendant that Ye Zhaoqing had mentioned in a short while.
