Ning Gu

On the first day of April in the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the chariot of the emperor returned from the palace on Xianshan Mountain, and went to Juheng before entering Chongque.

One day, the emperor drew up a decree, allowing Wang Luqi of a different surname to go out of the palace and build a mansion, and a mansion in Taiping Lane, West of the city, was allocated.It will be repaired when the filial piety of Yongguo Gong expires.According to his will, he can temporarily live in Juheng Garden.

("Yuan Shu Living History")

The golden crow was about to fall, and the sun was shining at the end of the sky. Luan Ling and the carriage slowly walked into Juheng Garden, envious of getting off the horse, and lured Lu Qi to jump off the carriage.

The old slave found a small stool, Zhao Zuo lifted his robe and got off the frame, then turned around and stretched his hand into the frame.

Xie Ling probed around, frowned, and hesitated a bit.

"No problem. Your garden is invisible to other people's eyes."

Hearing this, Xie Ling bowed his waist and took a step, and got off the frame.Before entering Fufeng just now, I heard Lu Qi talk about this Juheng Garden all the way.

It is said that he wanted to come when he was young, but his father and Xianzhi didn't allow it. Later, he moved to Chongque, and he rarely came here. He only came every year on his birthday and asked for grace.

Listening to Lu Qi's words, Xie Ling felt that Zhao Zuo's hands around his waist tightened a bit.I don't know if I was afraid that he would run away or what.

But he probably won't leave now, at least for the next five days, he still needs this person by his side, this person is the Ninth Five Supreme, and the benefits that can be given to him are naturally not what ordinary people can give.

As for Brother Huixuan's first seven, he would go back no matter what.

His back is Zhaoxing and Huixuan...he will never forget, and dare not forget.

But now someone stabbed him severely in the back, how could he not swallow the hatred of this knife.

A group of people followed Xianzhi's footsteps to the depths of the garden.The cloister and curved bridge are on this pool of spring water, and a few freshly bloomed plain flowers are blocked by the jade sill, which is much more plain than the peonies blooming on the supporting wall in spring.

Lu Qi even grabbed the corner of Xianzhi's clothes, as if he was afraid that he would go astray.

It is true to say that the Xiushi stones in the garden are piled up by the lake. If you look around, the "Yunqi" hall is on the other side of the lake. But this winding road, there is only one way to go. If you are in the depths of the flowers, you will get lost. Road, but I don't know where to go to the garden.

People who know this geomantic omen can tell the twists and turns of it. Those who built this garden like Xie Wuling are not as good. Whenever you ask how to design such a complicated garden, the person with blue ribbon apricot fir will only tell you : "How do I know? I told that friend what kind of flowers and plants I will plant, and he returned my garden drawings."

The wind and lotus in the pool just show their horns, and the fish swim from shallow to deep.Xie Ling followed You Yu with his eyes, and his pace slowed unconsciously.

"It's getting dark, let's go again." Zhao Zuo also slowed down two steps, gathered Xie Ling's sleeves, and said in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"Those who want to come to Dali Temple should still be here at this moment. At night, I'll lure them first, Lu Qi, and then bring Master in." Hearing the sound, Xian Zhi turned around and added, then looked at Lu Qi and urged, " Take less than two lanterns."

Xianzhi knew that Lu Qi was afraid of the dark, and when he was walking at night, he always liked to cling to him, but one day he stopped climbing, and Xianzhi asked Lu Qi out of curiosity, but Lu Qi said, "If you hold a few more lanterns, you don't have to do it anymore." I was afraid, so naturally I wouldn't climb him.

However, Duke Yong's mansion was set on fire and turned into ruins, and there were too many lamps at night, so I don't know what words will be spread in the streets and alleys.

When Lu Qi heard that he was told to save him from bringing two lanterns, he immediately gave him an envious look, but only after that, he nodded his head in agreement.Xianzhi received Lu Qi's glance, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Qi caught the hesitation in his eyes. For some reason, there was a happy look on his brows. He coughed twice, restrained his emotions, and raised his hand to pat Lu Qi's back : "Don't be afraid."

When it was late at night, Lu Qi and Xie Ling held a lantern alone, and followed Xianzhi to the Yongguo Palace.

According to his plan, Xianzhi took a step ahead and sent away the two guards guarding the gate of the ruined palace of Yongguo Gongfu.

"Lord Xinling." The two guards bowed their heads to the young man in fine clothes and jade crowns in salute.

"Yeah." Xianzhi responded, "I'll take this trip for my father."

Before Zhao Zuo ascended the throne in this dynasty, it was rumored in the streets and alleys that Yong Guogong was Emperor Zuo who had touched Ni Lin.

Originally, he deserved his life, but perhaps Emperor Zuo complied with his old friend's request, and he also thought that Duke Yong was already insane, and he didn't kill them all when he was the prince.

However, those who have good deeds have visited this Yongguo Gong's mansion. The red walls are glazed, the blue tiles and the eaves are so overhanging. Even though the mansion is less manned, it is a bit desolate, but it is still magnificent compared to the other places. Strolling around in the mansion, strolling in the courtyard, except for the lingering opera robe in his arms, and talking to himself with love, he couldn't tell that he was crazy.

How much of this is true or not, no one knows, but looking at the weeds that grew outside the Duke’s mansion, and the attitude of Emperor Zuo slowly returning to Fufeng from the palace after getting into the water with the Duke’s mansion, it is possible that Duke Yong is indeed the emperor. Zuo people who don't like it.

Now even when he came to the Duke of Yong's mansion, he was entrusted to Lord Xinling to do it for him, so it was reasonable to think about it.The guard accepted the courtesy and turned sideways to make way.

Xianzhi was not in a hurry to enter the door, he saw the lotus petals embroidered by the guards' lapels, and he felt relieved, raised his hand and pointed to a deep alleyway: "Oh, by the way, Uncle Shihuang told you to go there." Watch over there."

The two guards answered "yes" and left.In another deep alley, two people in black clothes barely walked.

"Are they so obedient?" Xie Ling looked at the two people who were leaving, and said when he got close to Xianzhi.

"That's right? Xianzhi is amazing." Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, handed the lantern in his hand to Xianzhi, and immediately grabbed Xianzhi's robe.Follow behind him and go into the ruins.

Seeing his innocent appearance, Xie Ling didn't know what to do, he pursed his lips and smiled, and raised his eyes to meet Shang Xianzhi's helpless eyes.

Xian Zhi held the lamp, walked inside, and explained: "They belong to Uncle Shi Huang. So..."

"Shi, Xuancheng?" Xie Ling frowned.

"Exactly."

The three of them stepped into the mansion, and a smell of charcoal came over their nostrils, which made Lu Qi frowned, and groped for a long time in the baggage behind him.He found the three wet handkerchiefs that Xie Ling put in, and handed them out one by one.

The three of them covered their mouths and noses and walked a few steps in. The moonlight was shining brightly on the ruins, and they could see several pillars isolated by the wind.

Xie Ling looked at the desolate scene of broken trees around him, but for some reason, the feeling of suffocation hit his throat again.The two old scabs next to the chain bones also hurt a little.

It's probably a psychological effect, maybe this old scab is related to this place.

Xie Ling withdrew his gaze, and took a long time to answer: "Shi is also a romantic, four-bedroom concubine, where is she now?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Xianzhi turned his head and raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xie Ling with a meaningful look.

Xie Ling suddenly realized: "He, it's still him."

The two of them were having a riddle-like conversation, which made Lu Qi a little puzzled. Lu Qi gently tugged at Xianzhi's sleeve and asked, "What did you say?"

"Royal secrets." Xie Ling pursed his lips, put his finger in front of his mouth, hissed, and answered him.

The unethical relationship between Xuancheng Lord and Princess Yuanbao at the beginning has been passed back and forth for a long time in this place where rumors spread faster than anything else.In the end, the lord of Xuancheng married a concubine with four concubines, and Yuan Bao went out of the palace to stand and pray for blessings.

However, the twists and turns between these two people can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"That's when I saw them, it was at your father's banquet." Xie Ling led them to a courtyard without knowing why he was so familiar with this mansion, as if he had been here many times.

And sometimes, the body remembers more things than the mind remembers.

Xianzhi followed his steps, while leading Lu Qi who was afraid of the dark, he said with a smile, "Master, that's where I met Xianzhi, Master, forgot?"

"Don't dare to forget, dare not forget..." Xie Ling turned his head, waved his hands and smiled, no different from Xie Wuling back then.

That banquet was the reception banquet organized by Zhao Zuo for Yong Guogong.

At that time, the only princes who went out to build the palace were Zhao Zuo and Yong Guogong, and the sisters in the Kuang Palace were still young, so the only way to go out of the palace was to use this banquet as an excuse.

Therefore, whenever there is any excuse for holding a banquet, these princes and princesses in the palace will spare no effort to encourage the two to have a banquet.

Zhao Zuo was like this, and under Yuan Bao's soft and hard paving, he agreed to her. When Yong Guogong came back, he would hold a banquet to welcome Yong Guogong.

It was midsummer, and the heat was severe.

Xie Wuling managed to arrange a couch under the apricot tree in his courtyard. The apricot blossoms had already bloomed, and Kazuki was lush and lush, just to avoid the heat.

This square courtyard is in the west corner of Yongguo Duke's Mansion, it was chosen by Xie Wuling himself, it is not very good, but considering that there are flowers and trees, it is considered good for Xie Wuling.

"Mr. Xie Yun, don't sleep, don't sleep," Xie Wuling got up on the couch, put his hands behind his head, and was about to take a nap, so he called the little boy to call him, "Isn't this a banquet for the Duke of the Kingdom? The villain came to ask, has Mr. Lang tidied up?"

"Going so early? Don't wait for noon?" Xie Wuling was used to it in Zhaoxing, he only went to the hall to look for food in time for dinner, even if he had a banquet in Yangzhou, he also followed his temperament, and he didn't arrive until noon.

It may be that there are many rules in Fufeng City, Xie Wuling found an excuse, got up and untied the low blue ribbon, tied it on his wrist, then tied the black silk, pulled the long and thin rope, and tied the blue silk high When he came, he took off the blue ribbon on his wrist, wrapped it around the head rope, and tied a knot.

The man looked more languid than before, and he was much more energetic. His peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, his eyebrows were raised, and he said, "Let's go."
