King's Pretty Lady

Chapter 146 Entering Huawang Mansion

Qingran decided to leave the palace, but she didn't intend to sneak out of the palace. She might want to experience the artistic conception of going out from the palace again, and she didn't mean to leave completely.

Early in the morning, she was waiting for Feng Nian in the Yulong Palace. After Feng Nian went down to court, she went to the imperial study to read the memorial, and when she wanted to go to the Chaofeng Palace at noon, the reincarnation reminded her that she had arrived in her bedroom. She couldn't help being happy, but also curious. , there must be something to say.

Qing Ran helped him change the court clothes, and served him to have lunch together. He didn't ask her and didn't mention it. After the meal was over, Feng Nian led her to the garden for a walk to digest the food, and then asked her.

"What are you looking for?"

"The concubine wants to leave the palace for a walk!"

Feng Nian was not surprised, but only asked: "Like my classmates, do you miss those people in Love City?"

This was actually news that made him unhappy, what he wanted was for Qingran to stay by his side and be obedient like today, but only now did he realize that she was obedient for a while in the hope that he would allow her to leave.

"It's not as far as going to Love City, it's Li Palace, just walk outside the city."

Hearing what she said, Feng Nian took his hand, told Gengsheng to prepare a cloth, and carried the two of them to the Wangxing Pavilion. He didn't speak all the way, and Qing Ran said: "It turns out that Green Goose also has a Wangxing Pavilion. .”

"You want to go back there?"

"No, Your Majesty, as I said, I just want to walk around that street." She pointed to the bustling streets of the capital in the distance.

Feng Nian did not agree, he said: "Now the country of Yueli is called Love City, the country of Cixia is called Yelu Realm, and the country of Green Goose is called Sun and Moon Capital, they are all at the foot of Motuo, and they are part of Motuo Jiangshan. The original Green Goose?"

"I...Chen Qie didn't know that it had been renamed." She had indeed forgotten it, but she just remembered the old things and didn't want to make him suspicious.

Finally, he got back to business: "Why do you want to leave?"

"Go and have a look, come back!"

"The queen mother also told my father to go out of the palace to have a look around, and then come back to the palace. After all, she regards the palace as her home, but she came back twice, and neither time was voluntary."

"I'm not as bold as my godmother. I just want to go to the city to see if the people in Li are living in hardship."

"Oh, private visit on Weibo?"

She knew that he was laughing at herself, so Qingran gave up and said: "Actually, I have never been to Wangxing Pavilion, and now I can see the entire capital from here, so I don't think there is any need to insist on going out of the palace." , the emperor's concubine is just nagging."

She took the initiative to admit her mistake, and did not avoid speaking. Feng Nian thought it was a good sign, and thought about it early the next day, but Qing Ran already had such thoughts. After making a bad impression, if I don't follow her once, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the future, or I can use this time to fulfill her and let myself test her.

So three days after the incident, Qing Ran didn't mention the matter of going out of the palace again, and said that she was unwell, and told them not to come to pay her respects, but the emperor ordered someone to bring in a set of casual clothes.

If the clothes were in the queen's closet, compared to them, they were indeed casual clothes, very low-key, but Qingran forgot that if they went out on the street and stood with those ordinary people, people would glance at her. Recognize that she is not a girl from an ordinary family.

"Your Majesty, I really haven't thought about it, you also have the idea of ​​going out of the palace." Yun Xin was afraid that Ai'er's experience would also come to her.

"Just go out for a walk and come back before dark." She never thought that after three days the emperor still remembered that he himself figured it out and was willing to let her out of the palace.

"If you dress like this, you can't let those ordinary people bully you."

"Didn't the emperor ask you to take two more court ladies and four eunuchs out with me?" After Qingran finished dressing up, Feng Nian was cautious. Men's clothes were not allowed to appear in front of her. She thought it was an obvious arrangement With so many people, I don't know how many people have secretly sent to follow me, so what are you afraid of!

"But they all have to pretend to be ordinary people, how can you be wronged like this, ma'am?"

"Auntie, what you said is making a joke of me." She was not allowed to say any more, and asked them to leave the palace as soon as they were ready, or they would have to turn back when the time came before they stepped out of the palace gate.

In the hall of Chaofeng Hall, Feng Nian was seriously looking at the memorial, and Gengsheng was serving at the side. When they came out, Feng Nian raised his head and looked at each of them before nodding. Qing Ran knew that he was going to wait for her to come back here. , but I don't know what kind of taste is surging in my heart, neither sweet nor bitter.

Leaving the palace, the two carriages went south for a while and then stopped, Yun Xin asked: "If you want to come to Prince Hua, you can just invite the emperor directly, why do you need to do this?"

"Feng Nian will definitely refuse, but he has no reason to refuse, I won't make things difficult for him, so you can rest assured now, aunt?"

"Of course, don't worry, Huawang's mansion is still in front of the royal family, surrounded by heavily guarded soldiers, so the slaves don't have to worry about the safety of the empress. Otherwise, relying on us, it's okay to serve, but it's not okay to fight with others." Yun Xin let go When you calm down, you can speak easily.

Qing Ran got out of the car and entered the palace, accompanied by Yun Xin and two maids, and someone inside came to report: "See the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"Get up and talk."

"Yes, if you want to go back to your mother, the prince is resting in the courtyard. Because he caught a cold a few days ago, he asked the servants to come over and answer. The prince said that it is inconvenient to see your mother."

"During this period of time, many people avoided seeing me."

The maid knelt down and said, "My lord, forgive me."

"It's okay, I will walk around in the palace, if I can find the emperor's uncle, I will talk to him, if I can't find it, I will go back to the palace."

Everyone in the house knelt down, not daring to speak.

I once heard my mother mention the beauty of King Hua’s Mansion. It’s a paradise-like place that’s more beautiful than the imperial palace. Now it’s a bit depressed, but rockery, small bridges, pavilions, and winding corridors can be seen everywhere. I can see a stream flowing everywhere, but I don’t know where it comes from and where it goes. In every courtyard full of green shade, a few paintings and the Four Treasures of the Study are hung at will, showing that their owners have poetic and artistic qualities. It is extremely high, and it can make people stop to write poems and paintings at any time.

Going deep, passing through two intersecting rockeries, you can see another fairyland. In summer, the sun is hidden, and only a few beams of direct light can be seen on the lake. With this beam of light, you can see the lake. There were layers of fog, either thin or thick, or gathered or scattered, but after the fog lightened, you could see a small building in the lake, and there was the sound of waterwheels. If the wind blows, you can hear it from the small building. The sound of wind chimes and diabolos - this is a wonderful scene.

A bamboo raft was parked by the lake, which was old and rotten, as if the owner hadn't used it for a long time, and it looked extremely lonely.

Qingran wanted to return from the intersecting rockery, but when he passed through, he saw another small courtyard, a tree that stretched to the sky, and some unknown flowers planted beside the flowerbed, which looked very arrogant.

The small courtyard is simple and quiet, without too many decorations, Qing Ran only glanced at it before walking back, trying to find the courtyard that the maid just mentioned.

"Ma'am, are you tired? Sit down and have a rest?" Yun Xin followed beside her, and Qing Ran was still not satisfied. She walked out of the rockery to a stone road, and chose to go down, but she came to a dark place with a faint light. It comes from the circular patio in the middle, but the patio is full of trees, so the sunlight can’t get in. It’s different from the one by the lake, it’s quite depressing here, and Qing Ran obediently followed Yun Xin to leave here.

The more Yun Xin walked, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she felt that she shouldn't come here.

But Qingran still wanted to see what he could see when he walked up the stone road, and there was indeed something hidden in the sky. The place he arrived at was a circular road made of red wood two meters wide, surrounded by the patio he saw just now. This mahogany place sits randomly, and all you see are the tops of the trees, and you feel happy in your heart.

Suddenly, out of sight blocked by the trees, she heard the sound of the piano, Qing Ran asked Yun Xin to wait here, and she said, "I think, this is the courtyard."

She still found Hualan City.

Walking on this circular corridor, it is close to the sky, and everything is cleaned, but the free leaves still fall down regardless.

Every time he took a step, Qingran was sure that he had come to the right place.

With white hair, dressed in purple, elegant face, without a trace of oldness, there was some doubt in the eyes of the person who saw the visitor, and he said after a long time: "Is it Xiao Qingran?"

"It's me, Uncle Emperor, I'm here to see you."

I heard from my mother that the emperor's uncle wanted to marry her as a "Phoenix Girl" and then gain the world. He was not seeking imperial power, but Xiang Xichu.

So the emperor couldn't blame him much back then, he also loved a woman with all his heart, but he didn't know that things were right and people were wrong.

Hua Lancheng smiled gently, and turned his head to the treetop: "Why, do you want to come to my place for a walk?"

He didn't want to ask about the court affairs, he just stayed here, living in the past, Qingran didn't know a few things about the court in detail, and some of them were just trivial things, so she didn't want to mention them to him, just He said: "I asked the emperor for leave, and when I left the palace, I entered and didn't know where to go. The carriage stopped at the emperor's uncle. Ran'er is not filial. I just thought of visiting you today."

Feng Nian and Hong Luan have a tacit secret, they are afraid that Hua Lancheng's old illness will relapse, so they show him Qing Yan who looks very much like a godmother.

But how could Qing Yan step into here.

"Where's Ankang? But married to your brother?" He asked.

Qingran was also on guard, so she just nodded and didn't want to continue the topic, she just mentioned: "The imperial uncle's mansion is really nice, I just walked through it, I don't know if I've finished it, every place is called I am amazed."

"The people in the house, why don't you ask them to help you guide the way."

"My sudden visit has already frightened them. If I ask them to lead the way again, it will be a sin if there is something wrong."

Hua Lancheng then stroked the qin again, and asked in the qin: "Why is Feng Nian so willing to let you come to my place?"

"He didn't know about it before I left the palace...but he should know about it now." Qingran said this, causing Hua Lancheng to think of things that happened a long time ago.

He nodded to show he understood.

When the sun was westward, she got up and left, returning to the palace.

Sitting in Chaofeng Hall, Feng Nian let out a steady breath before reading the memorial in her hand.
