Chapter 53 Return to the old place, bitter, sour and sweet

Guan Suiyuan is the place where the prince lives. It occupies a large area. There are three entrances in the main courtyard, and there are also things across the courtyard. In addition to the servants and servants, there are still armored guards in the yard. However, because of the arrival of the eldest princess, they have avoided it and entered all the way, but there are no idle people.

For this place, the scenery should be very familiar.

Originally, I thought that I had been married with him in those two years, but I was indifferent and didn't remember those boring details.

However, as he repeated step by step, although he did not dare to look around the familiar vegetation and pavilions, his eyes kept drooping.

When you bypass the landscape and stone screen and set foot on the Lianyue Bridge across Furongtang, you don't need to raise your eyes, you will know the half-court cold plums planted around the pond. Although at this time, there are no enchanting branches, but blue leaves are sparse. The picture that suddenly appears in your mind is the beginning of the snow, the silver makeup is wrapped, the red and proud black, and the cold fragrance is around him. She is side by side.

Bin scenery, what I like most is Ling Han's proud plum, perhaps because I envy them. Every winter, the heavy snow flies, but it is the most difficult time for me, but they can bloom brilliantly in the cold.

It turns out that he remembers his favorite Fangfei.

At that time, his body had actually improved. Whenever the weather was slightly sunny, he would accompany her to come to the forest court to enjoy plum blossoms. When he was tired of walking, it was convenient for him to sit in the teahouse. He personally fried tea with ancient methods. Sometimes the two of them didn't say anything, and sometimes he would talk about something about the past.

There is a banquet hall in the vestibule, just a hundred steps away, sitting on Bai Yuji, but it is closed all year round.

The son of the world is weak and has never been powerless to entertain guests, so the banquet hall is empty.

At this time, he remembered that one day, which seemed to be the middle of summer, suddenly asked people to set up a banquet hall. Hundreds of pots of jade and osmanthus were like snow, filled the hall, but there was only one table of delicious food. The two sat quietly. He said that day was his birthday.

Yuanqing in July of eight years, which was the first birthday she spent with him.

In the fragrance, he kissed her forehead, but in her memory, she did not respond, even if it was just a smile.

Through Merlin and walking in the red corridor, I remembered one night.

Is it spring or autumn?

With no sleep that night, she quietly left his side, crept into clothes, and unconsciously went to the forecourt, looking at the moon alone, sad and standing quietly for a long time.

I don't know when he came behind her, I don't know how long he was silent with her, and I don't know what kind of mood he was standing in the red gallery and looking at her sad under the moonlight.

It was not until he saw her crying and squatting down in pain that he couldn't help approaching her and hugged her in his arms.

Binjing, I'm sorry...

In his memory, his voice was low and hoarse, and the pain was no less than her, but at that time, she pushed him away indifferently and turned away.

Why are these memories so clear?

In this life, the banquet hall is still closed, as indifferent as in her memory.

She knew that the prince's living was actually in the atrium, entering from the arch moon gate next to the banquet hall.

That year, she got married and first arrived at Guan Suiyuan. Only when she saw the green bamboo in the atrium did she feel a little happy. She loved bamboo, so the boudoir where she lived was full of green. She didn't expect that she could also see green bamboo in Guan Suiyuan. Although at that time, it was still low, it was a new plant at first sight. Casually asked why the son planted bamboo?

knew that since the Empress Dowager gave her marriage, the son immediately ordered the transplant of plum trees in the atrium.

At that time, she listened and left it behind in an instant. She never thought that he was for her...

At that time, he already knew her preferences.

But when it was celebrated for ten years, the Lantern Festival, the green bamboo was still weak, and it was not as strong as the green garden.

Their lives ended suddenly that day and there was no future.

But at this time, when entering the atrium...

As far as you can see, the poles are green, and the thin leaves are lush. In the summer breeze, the sun is cut like broken gold.

A turbulent pain hit her face like a tide, suppressing her chest so much that she stopped her slow pace in dismay. Along the way, all the depression and coercion almost disintegrated at this moment. Fortunately, the sun was so hot that it dried the corners of her eyes in time. No Tears.

"Ah... This place is no different from Lvqingyuan." Behind her was Qiu Yue who sighed in a low voice. She misunderstood the scenery and thought that her stop was all because of surprise.

But it reminded the scenery, and then I was alert from the turbulent mood, biting my lips and struggling to go in.

Everything is like a dream.

It seems that it is not from the beginning, but ten years after the celebration, the green bamboo will one day be lush in front of us, but she and him are cold and have no soul.

Things are human, and they should be.

But why did she not intersect with him in the past time, but the plum red here still became the greenqing?

It is upright and green, but slightly uneven. It seems that it is not planted at the same time, highlighting the natural scenery. This green bamboo obviously took a long time to grow into such a situation, and even covered the row of main rooms tightly and walked dozens of steps forward to faintly see a corner of the eaves.

Walking through the narrow road between the forest, you can see clear canals surrounding it, and pavilions among them, or dotted with simple lake stones, which makes people forget that they are in the deep royal palace at this time, as if walking between the mountains and rivers.

"In a few years, the bamboo is getting greener and greener." The eldest princess said to Mother Xie.

"Although the son went to Yizhou, he repeatedly told the old slaves to take care of this bamboo forest, so over the years, some have been planted one after another." Mother Xie's answer happened to confirm the speculation of the scenery. This courtyard has indeed gone through a lot of cold and heat.

"Most of the gardens in Beijing pay attention to the open style, but the layout of Guan Suiyuan imitates the elegance and freshness of the south." The eldest princess only chatted with Mother Xie along the way and did not inquire about the situation of the prince, and Mother Xie didn't seem to have much worry. Except for mentioning earlier, the eldest princess heard that the eldest princess was coming and wanted to welcome her in person, but because she was better, she gave up under the persuasion of Mother Xie.

After that, the two never talked about the son's illness.

When approaching the main room, the scenery suppressed those obscure emotions again, and many worries about the world's son could not be suppressed.

Therefore, when I saw a teenager in a green shirt, he walked down the steps slowly, saluted steadily, and apologized: "It's just a minor illness. I don't want to alarm my aunt to come against the day. It's really a sin." Elegant as usual, or as handsome, how can it be like a patient?

The tight strings in my heart couldn't help but relax, and Ijing couldn't help looking at Yu Yu more carefully.

This time, she will not avoid it again.

However, he found that although the prince's look was not as scary as the old princess described, his face seemed to be a little paler than usual, and his eyebrows seemed to be dark.

Of course, the eldest princess picked up Yu Yu, took his arm, and also looked at him.

Yu Yu smiled and raised his eyes, which contrasted a pair of ink eyes with a clear pool and the slightly flushed eyes of the scenery.

I was slightly stunned.

He clearly understood the girl's forced self-restraint mood, and seemed to be a little anxious and sad.

Why are you so concerned? In the teenager's heart, he couldn't help but feel a kind of sadness that he didn't dare to delve into.

"I didn't want to shock my fifth sister. It's really a sin." With a shallow smile, he was used to being indifferent, but he held the etiquette.

Entering the main hall, Yu Yu naturally asked the eldest princess to sit on the main seat, and invited the scenery to sit on the west side, and then asked the ribbed tea.

When the eldest princess saw that he really didn't look like a patient, she was really relieved and smiled, "I was surprised to hear that you were in danger. I just saw my second sister-in-law, and she was also very worried. How come she seemed to be better when she saw Qi'er herself, but she still looked worse."

Yu Yu smiled faintly and said, "I'm so tired that the elders are worried. In fact, my aunt also knows that I have always been weak. A few days ago, I also felt slightly uncomfortable and dizzy and weak. It seemed that I had a heatstroke. That day, my grandmother called me to Rongxi Hall. Originally, it was the third cousin of the Duke of Zhen to greet me. My grandmother thought of me and my third cousin Su Before we met, this made me say good. It was also because I was greedy for cheapness. I didn't ride on my shoulder. I suffered some inflammation along the way, which caused the old disease. After all, there was no big obstacle. It was eased after two days of rest.

So it is.

While the eldest princess suddenly realized, the stone in Ying's heart also fell to the ground unconsciously - in front of herself, a person who "doesn't know the inside story" and many servants, Yu Yu explained the "etiology" in a few words. If she really didn't know the inside story, she would believe it and would not think of other reasons.

It is clear that the general's wife can't help it, and the old princess doesn't know that Yu Yu has already recovered, so she wants to match the marriage between the prince and Xie Sanniang. Although the prince has arrangements, he plans to use the Empress Dowager's "imble" to find famous doctors in the near future to teach Qinggu to be born, enter the palace, and cure his "old disease" by the way, but there is really no time now. .

If the empress dowager is "sick", it will inevitably lead to the panic of the Wenwu Dynasty and the aristocratic family. In this case, if the eldest princess holds a birthday banquet again, she will be disrespectful to the empress dowager.

Although the eldest princess is not a whole life this year, due to the death of the old Duke of the State, the people of Wei's mansion mourned for three years. At the beginning of the year, the emperor sympathized with his aunt and paid special attention to the birthday of the eldest princess. The Empress Dowager also specially told the Duke of Wei: "Although it is not a full life, the Duke of the State has not been a banquet for three years, and the Duke of the Shangyuan again. Deeply affectionate, now that he has let go, Shangyuan will inevitably feel depressed, so he might as well hold a banquet on her birthday this year, so as to ease the depression in the house. The royal family attaches so much importance that the nobles are certainly waiting for the eldest princess's birthday banquet.

Therefore, even if the Empress Dowager suffers from illness, she will inevitably wait until after July.

Yu Yu wanted to solve the urgent need before he committed the "old disease".

But he wants to hide it from everyone. Of course, he can't just pretend and don't know what to take to make him so thrilling.

"You child, you are always a steady person, knowing that you are weak, but you are still so careless." Naturally, the eldest princess also thought of this, so she scolded: "The second sister-in-law is most worried about your body. If you feel uncomfortable, why force it?" You have to learn a lesson in the future and never be so careless.

This is to remind Yu Yu that he can no longer use this bitter meat trick in the future.

And beautiful scenery saw the dark color of Yu's eyebrows and was very worried, but the full of concern did not know how to express it for a moment. After all, it was just a sentence: "It will be threefu, and the heat will become heavier and heavier. Brother Yuan is not in good health. You have to raise it carefully."

Yu Yu looked at the beautiful scenery and saw that she slightly raised a pair of Yingqiu eyes. It was difficult to hide her concern. The sourness in her heart was heavier, but it was also mixed with a relieved joy. Complex emotions were entangled in her heart, and only a faint but real smile.

Unexpectedly, there was a lack of words.

The eldest princess did not pay attention to the emotions between the two children, but only followed Yijing's words and said, "That's right. Although there is no obstacle at present, it is reasonable to stay in bed to rest. Since the Duke of Zhen also knows that you have had an old disease, it seems that someone will come to visit. If you don't have the energy to socialize, just leave it to your second aunt. Don't worry about it. Those false gifts are exhausted.

This is to remind Yu Yu that the general's wife may not give up and let him continue to "recuperate" and mind his own business.

Yu Yu smiled and said, "That day, because of the old disease, he looked at the dangerous situation, but he shocked his cousin of the Xie family. The son of the Duke of Zhen also paid great attention to it. Yesterday, he sent someone to ask. His father only said that he had suffered heatstroke and was easy to teach the son peace of mind."

The more he wants to seal, the more the prince of Zhen will feel that it is strange. He will definitely not believe that Yu is just as simple as suffering from heatstroke.

The eldest princess nodded secretly and secretly said that the little Xie's plan was going to fail.

However, the beautiful scenery was eye-opening. In my heart, I admired my grandmother and Yu Yu. They talked with each other and did not avoid others. These words were just a few scenes in the ears of people who didn't know the inside story, and I didn't know the meaning of them. However, for Yu Yu, the explanation has been explained enough to let my grandmother know the inside story. , the emperor has achieved the purpose of avoiding people's ears, and it is honest and wise.

Yijing is carefully digesting the knowledge between these words, but she heard her grandmother say, "Well, since I know you are unimped, I am also at peace and will no longer delay your recuperation." After saying that, he stood up.

The two juniors also got up immediately. Yu Yu first bowed: "I remember the teachings, and I will take good care of them. I will wait for my aunt and grandmother's birthday, and then come to celebrate my birthday."

Yijing said, "Grandmother...granddaughter still has a request."

The girl spoke gently and crisply, and the eldest princess and Yu Yu were stunned.

"At the teacher's banquet, the sixth sister got a letter from Brother Yu. I was really envious. I had wanted to find an opportunity to ask Brother Yu for a picture of ink treasure. Since the sixth sister got your words, I don't know if Brother Yuan can give me a painting?" The girl's face is smiling, and she seems to be charming and full of expectations.

The eldest princess shook her head and smiled: "You will be greedy. Only your son is sick now. How can you work hard?"

In fact, Meijing also had a sudden thought. Because of some words, I felt really uncomfortable in my heart and wanted to ask him face to face. Then I found an excuse. After blurted out, I also felt a little abrupt. At this time, I just felt shy: "Naturally, I dare not bother my brother. I just want an old work."

"Let's allow her. My granddaughter is also a person who likes calligraphy and painting. I'm afraid that she will coveted Sha Tingke's paintings early." The eldest princess laughed.

Of course, Yu will not refuse: "What's the difficulty? Please ask the fifth sister to move to the studio. Although I have many old works, they are only painted casually. It's really not a masterpiece. If the fifth sister looks good at, she will give it to each other."

Before meeting, the young man and the my fair lady stood face to face, like a pair of wall people. The eldest princess couldn't help but feel a trace of hesitation in her expression, but looking at the beautiful scenery, she was not big enough, and her eyebrows were still childish, behaved, generous, and did not twist and delicately, and then smiled.

How did you think of that meaning in the year of cardamom...

The eldest princess ignored it: "You have to see An Jin later. The little sisters have to kill for a while, and I can't wait for you... Anyway, Qiu Yue and Xia Ke will follow you, but don't delay too late." Qiu Yue and Xia Ke were also told to take good care of them. When they returned home, they still took a sedan chair and did not walk in the heat. Only then were sent out of Guan Suiyuan by Mother Xie.

"Five sister, please." After witnessing the eldest princess leave, Yu Yu leaned slightly and raised his right arm slightly, pointing to the second room on the side of the hall, which was his studio.

Today, he was originally "recupied" in the courtyard, wearing only a round-neck plain white arrow sleeve robe. When he heard that the eldest princess came to visit, he put on a green gauze open-breasted long coat to meet the guests. Between his behavior, he saw that the green gauze sleeves were slightly raised, showing more elegant.

Bing was slightly blessed, said a thank you, and followed him into the studio.

The ribbed and Qiu Yue and Xia Ke naturally followed slowly and followed the waiter.

The layout in the studio is like a familiar memory, but it is slightly different.

At this time, there was no green bamboo picture scroll on the wall.

I clearly remember that he likes to draw bamboo the most. Although the scenery was also a little confused in those years, why does he prefer to draw bamboo when he loves plums?

However, she never asked, and he never explained.

The studio contains the fragrance of paper and ink, but it is still the same. The spacious red sandalwood painting under the window is still simple and calm, without carvings.

"Brother Yuan also likes green bamboo?" Yingqiang suppressed the sourness and complexity in his heart. While looking around the picture scroll on the wall, he seemed to ask casually, "I just entered the vestibule, but when I saw the plum trees in my eyes, I thought that my brother only liked the cold plums, but I didn't expect him to enter the atrium, and the green bamboo was lush as far as I could see."

Yu's eyebrows jumped slightly and calmed down for a moment: "Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum is the four kings respected by Yake. Although I am not talented, I also like elegance."

"But this mural is full of mountains, rivers and plants. Why is there only a lack of bamboo among the four kings?" The girl looked back, her eyes were clear, and she seemed to be curious before asking.

The teenager smiled lightly: "In the earlier question, there was a word 'ye'. I think she likes Lv Qingjun, right?"

Since Qiuyue entered this studio, she was full of curiosity. At this time, she couldn't help saying more when she heard this question: "The courtyard where Wu Niang lives is called Lvqingyuan. Naturally, she likes green bamboo."

It's not that she doesn't know the rules. It's all because beautiful scenery and the Erlang of the king of Chu are close to each other. Qiu Yue often come to the king of Chu's mansion with beautiful scenery. Although it is the first time to come to Guan Suiyuan, she has no strange feelings about the prince in her heart. What's more, she is smart and secretly senses that the fifth mother treats the prince differently, even more than Yu Erlang... With that subtle feeling, Qiu Yue couldn't find the right words, and only subconsciously did not regard the prince of Chu as an outsider.

Yijing glanced at Qiuyue and was quite helpless - this girl was used to being naughty with Yuzhou, and she was not so light in front of the world.

Yu Yu didn't mind, but smiled indifferently: "So it is. Unfortunately, in my mind, among the four gentlemen, only the bamboo king is the most elegant. My brush power is limited. I'm afraid of staining the height of bamboo, and I have never dared to paint."

This is obviously a perfunctory statement.

Yi Jing's heart was astringent. In her previous life, she was perfunctory with him, but she didn't know that this perfunctory words were originally so hurtful.

If Sha Tinke still dares not draw bamboo, today's Dalong, I'm afraid few people dare to paint bamboo.

For a while, the questions in my heart were suppressed by two perfunctory words, and it seemed that they could no longer be asked.

"I like that landscape very much. I don't know if Brother Yuan can give up his love?" Ying raised her finger and looked at the long scroll on the east wall.

On the painting, there are stretches of green mountains, falling waterfalls, and a few cold plum blossoms. One side of the courtyard is silent in the secluded valley and the depths of plum blossoms.

Yu looked up and said, "That's the real scene. The painting is Mingshan Academy." But he was not reluctant to give up. He took a few steps, took off the roll and handed it to the scenery.

The slender eyelids and clear ink eyes stared at the girl so quietly, with a faint smile on the corners of her lips.

"This... Brother Yuan must have missed the time in the college very much, and it was recorded in pen and ink..." Yi Jing deeply regretted that he had chosen such a painting, and he was a little annoyed and guilty.

"It doesn't matter, but anything worth remembering is bound to be unforgettable, and there is no need to record it on paper to remind." The teenager lowered his eyes and had long black eyelashes, which covered the sudden dark emotions in his eyes.

The words rgurgled and fell into her ears. The scenery took over the long scroll and suddenly felt that the palm of her hand was unbearable, which made her almost cry.

Close your eyes slightly and calm down the mixed taste. After a few breaths in silence, the scenery said, "Another day, thank you for today's gift. I hope you don't think the gift is shallow." Finally, I didn't dare to stay here anymore. In this place full of bitter memories, I was blessed: "Brother, take care, and I'll leave."

He hurried away, and when he passed through the lush green bamboo forest, he stopped and looked back.

Naturally, I have never seen it. In the window of the studio, in the bamboo shadow, the young man's dark eyes have been stained with fog.
