Xizichun Pavilion is a special palace in Xiyuan. It used to be the dormitory of a concubine of Emperor Renzong.

Because it is built facing the canal, the outside of the museum is surrounded by clear streams all the year round. There is a Feixian Bridge lying on it. It is like a dream, making people feel like they have entered a fairyland on earth.

The main building in the museum, "Yifeng Building", is surrounded by peonies, with more than [-] varieties, all of which are tributed by Yizhou.There is also a very interesting story about peonies. According to legend, a certain concubine of the former dynasty liked to live in a pavilion. When viewing peonies, she suddenly expressed emotion: "Although peonies are expensive and the king of flowers, it is a pity that the buildings are tall and the flowers are low. Clear." This sentence was said casually, but the emperor took it seriously, and immediately ordered the florist to plant twelve peonies as tall as the tower, otherwise the florist's life would be in danger.In the end, an astute florist successfully grafted peonies on the toon tree, making the fantasy of peonies as tall as buildings become a reality.This method was used when the Yifeng Building was built. Those who are lucky enough to live in this building can appreciate the beauty and beauty of peonies at close range as long as they open the windows.

There is a poem from the predecessors: "Only Xizi is the only one in the past, and the peony is the only one in the world." It is the origin of the name of Xizichun Pavilion.

After Lianzhen recovered from her injuries, she chose an auspicious day and moved into this palace from Wanfang Qinghe.Although Baozhen, Hengbo and the others knew that her life was safe, they stayed here every day and couldn't see her. Extremely weeping.When Yin Lianzhen got up from the palace, she only brought four or five people with her. Most of the maids and eunuchs serving here were strangers, and they met their new masters one by one, so there is no need to repeat them.

Lianzhen's daily life is on the Yifeng Building. There are five houses on it, one of which is the main room, which contains a throne, a large red sandalwood case, palm fans and glass screens. On the backrest and in the front of the hands, there are Khotan sapphires inlaid with the eight treasures. Beside the seat are two large jade plates with inlaid gold inlaid flowers and leaves for holding fruits and smelling the fragrance, and four red gold carved incense burners for incense. Separated by rosewood doors, the front is a place to play chess and drink tea, which is a place for nourishing the mind, and the back is a large study room. The front of the east suite is a dressing room, and the back is a bedroom. Each house is very spacious, with each The luxurious furnishings and exquisite utensils are dizzying.

Hengbo led the way with a smile, introduced each one to Lianzhen, and finally passed through the dressing room, facing a glass screen with dotted kingfisher and flowers, and behind the screen, there was a six-foot-wide agarwood phoenix bed. , the bed was hung with precious gold silk gauze curtains, covered with rhinoceros ivory mats, and phoenix quilts. Lianzhen was already dazzled at this time, and she stood there for a while, then slowly sat down on the bed, stretched out her hands and touched it. , sighed: "Emperor Renzong didn't know how much he favored that Concubine Xu, and he built such a place to live with her."

Baozhen said: "Why not? I never dreamed that there is such a beautiful place in the world. It really opened my eyes!"

Hengbo laughed and said: "Since Concubine Xu, no one has ever lived in this Yifeng Tower. The later queens did not want to live in the place where the concubine lived, and the later concubines, no matter how happy they are, there is no one to be with them." Concubine Xu Gui is shoulder to shoulder, and according to the servants, only the master is worthy to live here."

Lianzhen sighed for a while, and let them wait for her to change her clothes. After sitting for a while, she asked Hengbo: "It's been a month or two since you moved here, is the cook here okay?"

Baozhen replied quickly: "Master, the chef is very skilled, and the cakes he makes are especially delicate and delicious. The servants think that they are one or two points better than those in the palace."

Hengbo laughed and said: "Baozhen is telling the truth, if master doesn't believe it, just look at her face and waist."

Baozhen Buyi said: "Aunt Hengbo knows how to tease me. At that time, the master had an accident, and she was sad and anxious. She couldn't eat for many days, but she only gained weight recently."

Hengbo said: "Master is a person with profound blessings. After going through this catastrophe, he will be safe and happy in the future, and everything will go smoothly."

"Auntie is right, the master is blessed, and as slaves, we can also enjoy a little bit of blessing." Baozhen was full of joy, with infinite longing in her eyes: "If I can live in this Xizichun Pavilion for a long time in this life, I will be happy." I have nothing else to ask for." He said again: "But there is only one bad thing, there are so many people up and down here, all of them are like logs, and when you ask them what to say, they all have the same smiling faces, I don't know. , I don’t know, I’m so anxious.”

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hengbo glanced at her, saw no one around, and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager never likes people to talk too much. I heard that the maids who are serving as servants in Xiyuan this time have been carefully screened. The manager and manager Wang personally selected them, if they were like you who didn’t know what to say, and came as soon as they opened their mouths, they wouldn’t know where they were dispatched, and you dare to complain to the master.”

Baozhen said: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, today is a happy day, aunt, don't just focus on training me." She only looked at Lianzhen with pitiful eyes.

"Baozhen, you should listen to Hengbo more. You have been in the palace for so long, and you should be more mature." Lianzhen suddenly thought of Zhurui when she said this, and felt uncomfortable. She sighed softly and said to Hengbo Said: "You go and call the chief cook, I have something to say."

Hengbo was puzzled: "Master, what do you want to eat for lunch? I just ordered the servant to order it. Why bother to ask yourself."

Lian Zhen said: "I'm going to entertain the Empress Dowager at noon today, how can I rest assured if I don't personally ask?"

"Ah?" Hengbo got busy: "The queen mother promised to come?"

Lian Zhen smiled slightly, nodded, and Heng Bo hurriedly said: "Your maidservant will go down and summon, and also tell the others to get ready."

By noon, everything was ready.Lian Zhen sat in front of the dressing table, tidied the hairpin and ring hair accessories by herself, drank tea for a while, became anxious, and turned her head to tell: "Bao Zhen, the Queen Mother is about to come at this time, you go outside to see Take a look."

Baozhen agreed to go down, and after a while, she came up again and said: "Master, just now, Director Gao sent a father-in-law here, saying that the Empress Dowager is still discussing matters with the cabinet ministers, and she won't be here today, so let the master do what he wants."

Lian Zhen said "Oh", although she was disappointed in her heart, she couldn't express it. She just lowered her head and thought silently. There is no way to deal with government affairs, which cannot be compared with the past.”

Lian Zhen said: "Since that's the case, you can send someone to invite Master Rui here, let us sisters get together."

Baozhen said: "Yes."

Su Yun was very happy to see someone from Lianzhen coming to invite her. She hurriedly dressed up and came over, and smiled as soon as she met: "What a wonderful place! This Yifeng Tower is actually made of peonies. You can smell the fragrance of flowers from far away, and only someone as beautiful as my sister is worthy of living here."

Lian Zhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Is your Ming He Xuan very bad?"

"It's not bad, but compared to the Xizichun Pavilion, it pales in comparison."

The two joked about it, and Lian Zhen ordered Chuan Shan to move the tables and chairs and place the cups and plates.Su Yun said: "It's better not to let them serve you, we sisters can talk freely."

Lian Zhen agreed with a smile, Su Yun saw that all the servants in the palace had retreated, and took a small jade cup, poured a cup of Baihua wine, and said to Lian Zhen with a smile: "Today, I want to make an exception to respect you This first cup of wine is for the sake of making your life auspicious, and turning danger into good luck."

Lian Zhen said: "Thank you, but I can't drink wine now, I can only use tea instead."

"This is up to you." Su Yun drank, poured another cup, held the cup in both hands, suddenly got up, bowed down, Lian Zhen was shocked, and also got up from her seat: "Yun'er, you. ...why are you doing this?"

Su Yun said: "My sister has taken care of me for the past two years. I don't say anything, but I really feel deeply. I take this opportunity to offer you a second cup." She drank it in one gulp.

Lian Zhen quickly helped her up: "What are you talking about? Get up quickly!"

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and Su Yun said seriously: "Lian Zhen, when I first met you in the palace, I only felt that we were destined for each other. It wasn't until today that I realized that you are still the rare one in my destiny." My lord."

Lian Zhen said: "Yun'er, your words and deeds are very abnormal today, it scares me a little."

Su Yun shook his head: "Lianzhen, do you remember that the late emperor died suddenly, the empress passed away, Mu Feiyu, Li Fei and others were all buried, one after another, I am worried all the time I spent my time in fear, always thinking in my heart, I don’t know what kind of miserable end I will end up in in the future.”

Lian Zhen said: "How can I not remember? Well, there is no need to mention those things again."

Su Yun said: "But looking back now, since then, my life has been much easier. I have not been sent to any nunnery to lose my hair, nor have I been imprisoned and free. I don't need to invite favors or fight. I still have a noble position and enjoy the glory. I also have you by my side at all times. This time I am staying in Xiyuan, only the two of us have the honor to accompany you, Lian Zhen, I know it is because of you, the empress dowager treats you like no one else can compare."

Lian Zhen was stunned: "Yun'er, why do you say such things? The queen mother treats us, so...that's the same."

"On the surface, there is no difference, but in fact it is not. Think about it carefully. When you first entered the palace, she took care of you, and you were injured this time. You can live in this Yifeng Tower... I don't know. I know how to say it, but I know that I can have today because of your light."

Lian Zhen could only smile wryly: "Yun'er, you think too much, the queen mother is actually...in fact...well, as long as she is a person who keeps her duty, she will not make things difficult."

Su Yun glanced at her, and said a little more cautiously: "At the beginning, I only felt that the Queen Mother was quiet and indifferent, and did not contend with the world. It was not until I saw her methods... that I realized that she was reserved. Now, I am completely at ease, and I am really satisfied if I can live my life in peace and stability like this."

"Yun'er, don't think about it anymore. I believe that the queen mother will treat everyone kindly, not only us, but also those who stay in the palace." Lian Zhen said: "I will share weal and woe with you in whatever happens in the future. , our sisterhood, will never change."

Su Yun was grateful and moved, and nodded vigorously: "En!"

Lian Zhen picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat quickly. If you don't eat any more, the food will be cold."

There is a gentle breeze outside the window, the branches are shaking and the leaves are moving, and thousands of peonies are competing to bloom in full bloom. The flowers are huge and full, overlapping one after another. The top-quality jasper is green and verdant, and the purple is like purple air coming from the east, which is very spectacular. . . . . .Looking around, there are beautiful flower clusters, fragrant mist, indescribably beautiful postures, jade bones and fairy makeup.

Lian Zhen was holding a cup of honeysuckle tea in her hand, leaning against the window in a daze, frowning slightly, smiling at the corners of her mouth, and sighing softly, without even noticing that someone walked behind her.

Binglun stood there for a long time, and finally couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this place okay?"

Lian Zhen was slightly startled, turned around, put down the teacup, suddenly lowered her head, and fell into her arms.Binglun was a little surprised, and a smile followed her lips: "What were you thinking just now?"

Her voice was so low that she could barely hear: "I miss you."

The smile at the corner of her mouth deepened, and she wrapped her hands lightly around her slender waist, and suddenly said softly: "Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms."

Lian Zhen immediately remembered that the last time was also this season, she personally picked a peony, put it on her temples, and recited these two lines of poems to praise her beauty, thinking about it, she became insane .

The two were immersed in tenderness, for a long time, Binglun said: "I have some important matters to discuss with the cabinet ministers today, so I didn't come here at noon, have you waited for a long time?"

"Not at all." Lian Zhen raised her head and said worriedly, "Is there something wrong with the court? Is it related to the flood in Jingzhou last time?"

"No." Binglun let go of her and said, "Vuluo Khan of Tuyuhun is about to submit a letter of surrender to me."

This is almost the first time she has taken the initiative to bring up affairs related to the government in front of her. Lian Zhen was startled at first, and then showed her face and said: "Isn't this a very good thing? After fighting for so long, it can finally be over. Fighting After all, it is suffering for the people.”

Binglun smiled faintly, sat down on the chair, and found a jade bowl on the table containing peeled green walnuts, poured thick grape juice on it, so she picked up a spoon and took a bite, Lianzhen smiled He tried to stop it: "Hey, this is what I left over. If you want to eat it, I will ask them to make another bowl and send it over."

"It's okay again, don't bother anymore."

Lian Zhen was very sweet in her heart, and sat down beside her: "Actually, you don't need to explain, I know you must not be able to leave, so you didn't come here."

"Even as I am now, in the supreme position, holding the power of life and death, many things are still not satisfactory." Binglun stopped talking, put down the bowl, sighed softly, and said with a smile: "But you Rest assured, one day, we will have more time together."

"I'll wait for you." Lian Zhen's brows and eyes were full of joy, and she pouted again: "But...but can you spend more time with me today?"

"Huh? How do you want me to accompany you?" As soon as the words came out, I felt that the tone was frivolous, and I didn't feel secretly regretful. Since the New Year's purse incident, the two have become increasingly estranged. When they are together, they are also solemn and courteous, and there are occasional intimate acts, but they are only on point.

Binglun felt slightly embarrassed, and when she went to see Lian Zhen, she saw her bowed her head and said nothing, suddenly she felt a little thirsty in her throat, and called softly: "Lian Zhen."

"Ah."

Lian Zhen was infinitely shy, raised her head slightly, the tenderness and affection contained in a pair of clear star pupils were enough to make one melt.

"Lian'er..." Binglun stood up, grabbed Lianzhen's right wrist with her left hand, and kissed her scorching lips without hesitation. The breath lightly hit her cheeks, the roots of her ears, and wherever she passed by, a shudder was aroused, and her body gradually softened. She supported the armrest of the nanmu chair beside her with one hand, but Binglun had already let go of her, and wrapped her hand around her waist, slightly With great effort, he untied the ribbon, and the silver-red gauze robe fell to the ground without a sound. . . . . .

The breeze outside was still blowing the flowers and leaves, making a rustling sound, and the aroma in the air seemed to be more intense.
