Remembrance Hibiscus GL

From spring to summer, the weather is getting hotter.On this day, Binglun held a banquet in the Linqing Pavilion beside Biyi Lake for Huo Ling, king of Yong.

The sun is blue, the sky is blue, the breeze is blowing, there is a lake of fresh lotus in front of me, and the young leaves are like rolls, like countless emerald tins. With this feeling, one can be intoxicated without wine, not to mention that the altar of rose dew has already drunk sixty-seven out of ten.

"When the song is against the jade wine, sit and drink the golden pot." Huo Ling leaned back in the chair, tapped the edge of the table with his fingers, already a little bit drunk, and said with a smile: "Living like this is only a day for gods."

The little maidservant in Tsing Yi held the sapphire jug with Ganoderma lucidum pattern, stepped forward lightly, and filled the golden cup with wine again.Binglun's eyes were still clear, and there was a slight smile on his lips: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, my cousin has held several positions and has no leisure for a moment. I specially invite you here today to tell you to relax."

Huo Ling said: "It's thanks to the Eldest Princess for her compassion. I haven't drunk alcohol for a long time. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. When I come to your residence, I dare to drink like this."

Binglun slowly put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, and Fang Shi turned to the main topic: "In addition to treating you to a drink, I also prepared a gift, and I want you to take it back."

"I don't dare to take it seriously." Huo Ling said with a smile: "How can you reach out and take it when you are full?"

Binglun's eyes became more playful: "Is this a gift? I don't need anyone to take it."

Nodding his head slightly, Gao Xian understood, and gave the door a quick wink. After a while, the door was gently pushed open. Wang Youxing led two women in Chinese clothes in, walked to the table, bowed slightly to Binglun and Huo Ling respectively, and immediately Stepping back to one side, the two women bowed prostratingly: "My servant, see Your Royal Highness, Princess Chang, and His Royal Highness King Yong."

Huo Ling couldn't help being startled, Binglun smiled and said: "Get up, let the prince take a good look at you."

"This..." Huo Ling stood up from his chair in a panic after hearing these words: "Could the eldest princess be joking with me?"

He knew that Huo Ze had always been hated by Binglun because of his flirtatious lust and many concubines, and after Binglun came to rule the court, he rewarded his capable ministers a lot, but they were nothing more than gold and silver, his mansion and farm, and never rewarded Ji The concubine and maidservant now want to give him two beauties as presents for no reason, and she was so frightened that most of her wine sobered up.

Binglun said: "Don't be surprised, cousin, sit down and talk."

Huo Ling saw that she was smiling unabated and her eyes were very gentle. He sat down again, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and only looked at her.

Binglun said: "I heard in a daze yesterday that my aunt was lying in bed with an illness a few days ago. It wasn't really a serious illness, but a long-standing heart disease. Is it true?"

"This......"

Huo Ling hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He and Princess Tian were a young couple with a deep love. They once gave birth to a son, and they regarded each other like a pearl. Who would have thought that he died of illness at the age of eight, and Tian has been in love ever since. No more children. Over the years, although Huo Ling occasionally thought of taking a concubine, one was in the vortex of power struggle and had no time to take care of it, and the other was that he couldn't bear to hurt Yuan's wife, so he kept procrastinating.But his parents were so anxious about this matter that they angered their daughter-in-law. Especially after Huo Lin ascended the throne, their family became a royal family, and Huo Ling was even named a prince. It's a big deal, the two elders tried to persuade Huo Ling frequently, but failed, they were very angry, one of them ran into the palace to sue Huo Lin for his son's disobedience, while the other was sick in bed.How Huo Lin is willing to take care of such housework, I can't laugh or cry, and then I mentioned something to Binglun intentionally or unintentionally, Binglun has always admired Huo Ling's devotion to emotion, and I don't want to take care of it. to facilitate this.

She took a sip of water, and said slowly: "My cousin loves the princess deeply, and he has always been the same for many years. I respect him deeply, but the matter of children and heirs cannot be ignored. If things go on like this, the family will not be harmonious, and the turmoil will continue. What annoyance, maybe I will be a villain with my sister-in-law to solve this problem for you. How about taking these two girls back today and taking them as concubines?"

Huo Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "The eldest princess expressed her kindness, but she was disrespectful, so I will thank you here first."

"I hope that in the future, you will respect and love the princess as before, and at the same time treat the two of them kindly."

At this time, Huo Ling was sure that she was sincere, and relaxed, and said quickly, "Yes, it's natural."

"Then I'm relieved." Binglun waved his hand, Wang Youxing led Qing Zhi and Du Ruo to retreat, Binglun continued: "As for thanking you, there is no need to thank you, you can do me a favor, it's fine Return the favor."

Huo Ling was surprised: "What's the matter? You just take orders, and I will obey everything."

"It's not such a big deal." Bing Lun said, "There are two maidservants in my mansion. They used to serve me in the palace and they were very capable. Now that they are old, I intend to let them go out of the mansion, but I am worried that as their servants, even if they can marry into a respectable husband's family, they will inevitably be looked down upon."

Huo Ling said with a smile: "You worry too much about this. Who has the courage to look down on the people who serve you? As long as you open your mouth, even princes and nobles can be married."

Binglun also smiled: "Marriage is a matter of your affection and my wish. How can you use power to overwhelm others? Besides, it's not convenient for me to personally come forward for this matter. I thought about it. They can get married in a prosperous way, and they can have a backer in the future."

Huo Ling said straightforwardly: "Okay! There will be two more younger sisters all of a sudden, but the joy comes from heaven, so why not do it!" He also said: "Since I am my younger sister, the marriage of the two of them will be on my shoulders. I will find a good son-in-law for them, so you don't have to worry about it."

After the two things were done together, Binglun was in a good mood, made a "please" gesture, and said: "You can drink a few more glasses, and you must come home with a lot of fun today."

When the banquet was over, Bingshenshui went to Cuiwei Hall, and it happened that Lian Zhen also came back from Prince Wei's Mansion, saw her come in, got up, twisted a hot towel for her, and brought hot tea over.

Binglun wiped her face without drinking tea, and asked with a smile, "When did you come back? Why are you sitting alone in the room?" He leaned forward, looked at her face carefully, and said, "Why are your eye circles red? "

Lian really made a forced smile, and covered it up: "Maybe when I got off the sedan chair, I was blinded by the wind and sand, and my eyes were rubbed red."

What kind of person Binglun is, she instantly understood the reason, knowing that she must have gone to Prince Wei's Mansion to meet Shen Wenying and Su Yun, met Zong Zhao, and thought of Zong Xu, so she felt sad again.At the moment, he just didn't know, and his tone was very brisk, and told her today that Huo Ling recognized Hengbo and Baozhen as righteous sisters, and the three of them were sworn brothers, and then said: "I discussed it with my cousin, after Tao Zhijian Yuan's wife died of illness, He and Hengbo can make a perfect pair. Although he is slightly disabled now, he is a good man who stands upright. Hengbo followed him. It was her good fortune. My cousin also said that he was in the guard camp One of his generals, named Xu Cunzhi, is a handsome young man, comes from a famous family, and has an excellent future, he will personally come forward to facilitate his marriage with Baozhen."

Lian really heard it, and she was really happy, and said: "No wonder when I came back, I saw Hengbo and Baozhen, both of them were downcast, swaying and silent, I didn't pay attention to it, so it turns out There is such a reason." Before the words were finished, he turned worried again: "But Tao Zhijian is already a loyal and brave man, and that Xu Cunzhi is the son of a famous family, how can Hengbo and the others be suitable for them? I want you to choose two for them. For husbands and sons-in-law who are well-off and reliable, I will buy more dowry for them at that time, if they are too prominent, they will be wronged when they marry."

Binglun said: "They are people who went out of my house, and now they are the righteous sisters of the prince. Although they are not serious princesses, their identities are different from the past. Who dares to wrong them? Besides, Tao Zhijian is hand in hand, and Xu Cunzhi is Huo Ling. Subordinate, you worry too much."

"Binglun..." Lianzhen saw that she was so thoughtful and full of gratitude, it seemed that her heart was stuck in her heart, it was hard to describe, leaning on her shoulder, she could only feel the faint smell of wine in her breath, she couldn't help asking softly : "Did you drink a lot today?"

"Well, it's rare for my cousin to be so happy that I drank a few more drinks with him."

Lian Zhen lightly rubbed her cheeks, feeling hot, said: "I'll tell them to order the kitchen to make hangover soup."

"No, I don't want to drink either. I just feel sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

Lian Zhen said angrily: "How can that be done? I just drank wine, but I'm not allowed to sleep." Holding her hand, she was forced to sit down on the kang, and at the same time called someone to go to the kitchen to deliver a message.

After a while, the maid brought the hangover soup on a tray, and Lian Zhen served Binglun to drink it, and was afraid that she would sleep too much, so she kept chatting with her about interesting things.

Binglun managed to pull himself together, because she was sad because she missed her just now, and wanted to make her happy, he said: "I've been bored at home lately, why don't I take you out for a stroll at night? I don't even have dinner at home. There is a restaurant named 'Hexingju', the dishes and dim sum are not bad, would you like to try it?"

A smile appeared on Lianzhen's face: "Okay, I've heard Sakura talk about Hexingju, saying that it's an old store that has been around for hundreds of years. I have to go and see it."

While speaking, her brows and eyes became more and more gloomy. Lianzhen saw that she was extremely sleepy, so she got up and helped her to the inner room, let him lie down on the bed, removed her coat, shoes and socks, and took the quilt to cover her again. Binglun whispered Whispering, Lian Zhen's ear was close to her lips, only then did she hear what she said, "Lian Zhen, don't leave me." His hand still held her hand and did not let go.Lian Zhen was sweet in her heart, but somehow found it funny, she said softly: "Fool." So she lay down on her side with her clothes on, and in an instant, the sound of even and long breathing came from her ears.

Lian Zhen raised her head and kissed her softly on the cheek, she got closer and closed her eyes, but Juesi was by her side, everything in the world was already satisfactory, there was nothing left to ask for, and the bottom of her heart was peaceful and peaceful, That little bit of gloom has already dissipated into the invisible without knowing it.

The wheels rattled and crushed the streets paved with bluestone slabs.

Lian Zhen held Bing Lun's arm, her eyes flashed with joy, it was just years of deep palace life that allowed her to maintain a dignified demeanor. After a long time, she finally couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice: "Why? It's been so long?"

Bing Lun raised the curtain, looked outside, and said with a smile, "Turn right ahead, cross another street, and you'll be there."

Lianzhen was surprised and said: "You have been in the palace for so many years, how come you are still so familiar with the outside?"

"I grew up here. It can be said that there are thousands of streets and alleys in Beijing, and I am familiar with each one. Although there will be some changes after all these years, the pattern will not change."

When she said this, her tone was extremely flat, Lian really couldn't help but glanced at her, wanted to say something, hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything.

The noise outside gradually increased, the silk and bamboo orchestral music became more prosperous, the whole street was brightly lit, like daytime, and even the moonlight was overshadowed by it, the carriage finally stopped in front of a magnificent three-story high-rise building in the middle of the street.

The guards at the side of the carriage dismounted quickly and stopped the waiters from the restaurant with gestures. One pulled the bridle and the other moved the horse stool. Chengying and Huaying had already got off the other carriage, and the waiter Binglun got out of the carriage. , Bingshen turned around, stretched out her hand again, Lian Zhen also supported her, and got out of the car slowly.

Although the guy was well-informed, he glanced at them from afar and was very surprised. He applauded in his heart: "Where did this fairy-like figure come from!" He forgot to say hello until a guard came over and said: "I want the Yichun Pavilion in the backyard, I booked it during the day."

The clerk hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" Guessing that the two women were dignified, he didn't dare to look at them, so he quickly picked up a lantern to lead the way.

When you come to the backyard, you feel as if you have entered the garden of some rich and noble family. There are several exquisite small buildings standing in it. The noise of the noise gradually fades away, and the music of silk and bamboo is still heard, but it is different from what you heard before, and it looks very elegant.

Several guards checked the upstairs and downstairs, and checked all the tableware before retreating downstairs, Chengying and Huaying accompanied them upstairs.As soon as the two were seated, they brought hot towels and fragrant tea, followed by various dried and fresh fruits, candied fruit and snacks.Binglun ordered food, and after hearing from the waiter that there was 20-year-old Nuerhong in the store, he ordered a pot.

When they were young, seeing that the food and wine were ready, Cheng Ying and Hua Ying bowed out and went to the next door to have dinner.

Lian Zhen hadn't eaten out for many years, and when she saw the table full of dishes, she felt very cordial. Seeing her staring at the bowl of "Clear Lotus and Jade Shoot Soup", Binglun scooped a bowl for her and said, "Try it, it's better than eating it." How about the lotus leaf soup in the palace?" Lian Zhen took a sip, savored it carefully, took another sip, and said with a smile: "It's fresh and sweet, with a pleasant aftertaste, it seems to taste better than usual. "

Binglun said: "That's because you are tired of eating." Picking up the black silver pot, each poured a cup.

Lian Zhen tasted the bad fish fillet again, and praised: "It tastes really good." Seeing Binglun drinking, he also took a sip along with it. It was a bit spicy and bitter, so he put it down and ate the food with great interest.

The ice wheel only moved slightly, then put down the chopsticks, Lian Zhen said: "Why don't you eat?"

Binglun said: "I like watching you eat."

Lian Zhen said: "Did you come here often before?"

"Ah."

Lian Zhen also put down her chopsticks: "Do you remember something unhappy?"

"I just came out of the mansion and came here, thinking of many things." Binglun said: "I'm not happy or unhappy, but I feel tired. I often feel tired recently, as if I have done everything in my life. Suddenly When I relax, I don’t have any interest in anything, except for you—only when I’m by your side, can I feel that I’m alive and have joy.”

Lian Zhen was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Binglun, have you ever thought that we can go to another place together and start a new life?"

"Where are you going?" Binglun was startled, then shook his head: "With my current status, it is impossible to live in seclusion anywhere."

"We can try, you are so smart, can't you still do such a small thing?" Lian Zhen said: "For us, the capital has too many painful pasts and too many bad memories, Binglun, I hope we To change the environment, I hope there are other things besides me that make you happy, and I hope you can enjoy life.”

Binglun sighed, and said: "Even if I want to leave, Huo Rin will not let me go. The new dynasty has just been established, and the world is initially settled. He will keep me in the capital, by his side."

Lian Zhen was speechless, and after a while, she asked in a low voice: "Does he know about my relationship with you?"

"Yeah." Binglun said, "He knows."

Lianzhen stopped talking, and Binglun approached her: "Why, aren't you happy?" Lifting her chin, she said softly: "We are the most beautiful existence when we are beside each other. Those bad pasts have passed away. It won't affect us anymore."

Lian Zhen said: "I still think it's better for you to change places."

"You are by my side, everything is good." Binglun turned his head, picked up a red water chestnut from the table, and said: "This is a fresh food from your hometown, I will peel it for you to eat."
