It's hard to be the king of rebirth

On the seventh day of March, the feeling of spring is getting stronger, and the peaches, plums and apricots in the imperial garden are full of flowers.

The emperor invited all the princes into the palace to enjoy the flowers and drink in the garden.

Zhou Xu came early, and the other princes hadn't arrived yet. The emperor was discussing with Lord He Xiangye on the management of the flood in the Yellow River in the imperial study, so he didn't have time to greet him.

Zhou Xu was also happy to relax, and Eunuch Hai led him to the Wanchun Pavilion and treated him to a cup of good tea.The gentle breeze blew, and the maids successively brought more than a dozen colorful snacks such as mille-feuille cake, short cheese, yam cake, auspicious fruit, ruyi cake, pine nut candy, etc. Zhou Xu, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, was already growling. Eyes are straight.

Send away the spoiled Mr. Hai, and leave behind a few charming maids to wait on. Drink tea, eat a piece of snacks, and joke with the maids. The tea is green and fragrant, the pastries are loose and waxy, the beauties are sweet and sweet Zhou Xu felt that it was always spring when the flowers were colorful.

Too much sweets, teeth sour, and too much tea, Zhou Xu thought: This virtuous king grew up in the palace, so he naturally knows where the hut is. It would be unreasonable to ask the maids where it is convenient?After thinking about it again, Zhou Xu used the excuse that he ate too much and wanted to go for a walk to digest food, so he looked for a convenient place in the garden alone.

Zhou Xu walked through a few corridors, turned around a few low rockery walls, and found a quiet and deserted place, so he was convenient in the grass.The steps are tight when entering the door, and the steps are loose when going out. The spring breeze is blowing and the body and mind are comfortable. Zhou Xu walks slowly.As he walked, he saw a hall here and a courtyard there, with carved beams and painted buildings looking up, and winding corridors in front of him, he walked farther and farther, gradually lost his way, but he was not in a hurry, he simply regarded it as a spring outing.

After about half a cup of tea, he passed through the Moon Gate and came to a courtyard. Compared with other courtyards in the palace that were brightly painted and blooming with brocades, this place looked bleak and cold. Shaded by bamboo, it is extremely cold.

There is such a place in the palace?Zhou Xu thought in surprise, it was eerie.He saw the door of a room on the left side of the courtyard was ajar, and he was curious, so he opened the door and entered.The furnishings in the house are complete. Although there is no smoke and fire of permanent residents, it can be seen that someone comes to clean it from time to time.

Look at this place is weird, didn't you break into the cold palace?I often heard Mr. Shu say that the Lenggong is a gloomy place where innocent souls gather, and those concubines and concubines who are unhappy and cannot die wander here, and they come to claim their lives after crying incessantly in the middle of the night.The more Zhou Xu thought about it, the more frightened she became. Feeling the wind blowing, she turned around and wanted to leave.

He had just stepped out of the house when suddenly there was a ding sound behind him, as if someone wanted to stop his footsteps.He couldn't help looking back, only to see a piece of jade fell to the ground.Zhou Xu felt that this piece of jade looked familiar, so he picked it up and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, but he didn't remember where he had seen it before. Seeing that this thing was spiritual, he simply did not stop doing it, and put it Wipe the jade on his clothes, put it in his arms, leave this ghost place first, and think about it slowly when he goes back.

After leaving the yard, Zhou Xu noticed the dilapidated plaque on the yard, engraved with the words: Su Yuezhai.

After walking 200 meters to the east, there is a lake.Tired from walking, Zhou Xu sat by the lake to rest for a while, enjoying the breeze.

There was only a plop, and a splash of water splashed across the lake.

Depend on!Look at the splash, the fish in this lake are so big?Let's catch two another day, Zhou Xu began to think about whether steamed or braised is better, and suddenly...

"Not good - not good - not good -" a court lady on the other side of the lake yelled.

"Concubine Jing threw herself into the lake—it's not good—Concubine Jing committed suicide—"

Zhou Xu didn't think much about it, and before taking off his clothes, he jumped into the lake like a fish, and swam with all his strength to the place where the water splashed on the other side of the lake.

Although it was already spring, the lake surface was still ice that had just melted, and the lake water was still bitingly cold.

After finally swimming to the splashing place, Zhou Xu dived into the water, searched for more than ten seconds, and finally found a woman who was splashing in the water.Zhou Xu picked her up and pumped her up, and the concubine Jing who was choking on the water ordered Zhou Xu to be pulled. This kind of momentum of grabbing the straw made Zhou Xu wonder if she really wanted to jump into the lake, and the person who fell into the water was very sad. , Zhou Xu took a lot of effort to pull her up, and when she stood up, she was stunned.

Grandma, the depth of this lake only reaches Zhou Xu's chest...

Zhou Xu picked up Concubine Jing and walked to the shore, and all the maids surrounded her crying.The noise caused him a headache, his body was drenched and extremely cold, and when the wind blew, Zhou Xu's upper and lower teeth kept chattering and creaking.

Why is your concubine Jing crying when she is not dead?Zhou Xu rolled his eyes.

"Hey, it's terrible, King Xian! Concubine Jing! Hey, hello!" Mr. Hai appeared out of nowhere, crawled to Zhou Xu, and looked at Concubine Jing lying on the ground for a while. Looking at Zhou Xu, who was soaked in water, his eyes rolled around, and finally he knelt down with a plop: "The slave is negligent, the slave deserves to die, no... didn't protect the empress and the prince well." He stood up again after a thump, and directed the maids and eunuchs who had made a mess of porridge to put them away. The empress carried it away and called someone to bring dry clothes for Zhou Xu to change.

Heh, Eunuch Hai didn't forget to do the face-to-face things at this time.

"You're wet, be careful not to catch a cold." The emperor appeared behind Zhou Xu at some point, and put a fox fur cloak on Zhou Xu's body, saying, "First keep out the wind, and hurry up and change clothes with me."

Zhou Xu changed out of his soaked clothes and took a hot bath in Yuqiong Pond.

The water in Yuqiong Pond is said to be hot spring water introduced into the ground, exuding a faint sulfur smell, which has the effect of warding off cold.

Several young eunuchs came in with a plate of ham stewed elbows, a pot of flower carvings, and two cups, placed them on the steps made of jade by the pool, and then retreated.

"Is the water in this Yuqiong Pond still comfortable?" The Emperor poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile, "You have been tossing around for a long time before, and soaking in this hot pool is easy to consume, so eat some when you are hungry."

"Very good. I used to eat sweets in the garden, but now I want something salty." Then he sat on the steps next to the emperor, half of his body still soaked in the pool water, and he couldn't wait to pick up the pig with his chopsticks. Elbow to eat.The elbow meat was crispy and soft, and Zhou Xu couldn't help marveling at the skill of the imperial chef.

"Can it suit Hengzhi's appetite?"

"It's so good! It's so good! Brother Huang, it's so delicious that I almost forgot who my ancestor is."...Oops, isn't that scolding those who are too emperor, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Huang, who is too emperor? head the most.

The emperor burst out laughing: "Heng Zhi became more and more outspoken, it seems that he is really hungry."

Zhou Xu sneered: "...my brother won't dare next time."

"By the way, Brother Emperor, how is Concubine Jing?" Zhou Xu changed the subject.

"She should wake up after this torment." The emperor took a sip of the Huadiao wine, and said, "It's you, Heng, what are you messing with her, the water in that pool can't drown her."

"Brother Huang, I don't know. At that time, Concubine Jing's aura was about to rush to her death. I didn't think much about jumping in because I was anxious, and I didn't expect the water to be so shallow." Zhou Xu chewed his elbow and said.

"Oh? Hengzhi, don't you know how deep the water in Luhu Lake is?" The emperor stared at Zhou Xu with his eyes bent.

Zhou Xu smacked his tongue secretly. How could King Xian not know how deep the lake is when he grew up in the palace?

The emperor smiled without saying a word, and poured himself another cup of Huadiao.

In the afternoon, the emperor, King Jin, King Zong, King Fu, and King De jointly enjoyed the fish in the Imperial Garden. Zhou Xu was still soaking in the pool, and ate half a duck with eight treasures, a bowl of fresh bamboo shoot soup, and a plate of vinegar. Chicken, a few bad duck feet, after drinking and eating, I had another meal with the four princes and emperors in the evening.

Among the four princes, only Jin Wang Zong Wang is older than Xian Wang and is the emperor's uncle.The rest of Fu Wangde are usually eleven or twelve-year-old children, and they can't talk together when they drink and eat together, and they all speak official dialect.King Jin likes to raise rare and exotic animals. He has a group of maned wolves, snow foxes, pandas, crocodiles, sloths and even elephants in captivity. King Zong also has a collection habit. At noon, wei, shen, unitary, xin, and hai twelve hours, the beauties of the twelve zodiac signs of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig are said to be beautiful. In the past and present, the lotus is ashamed of its beauty; Fu Wangde and Wang Du are still eleven or twelve-year-old dolls, well-behaved and not much to say.

The princes left after a meal of wine. The emperor probably didn't have enough to drink, so he kept Zhou Xu behind and said, "Heng Zhi, you haven't had a drink with me for a long time. Continue to accompany me tonight."

Seeing that Zhou Xu nodded in agreement, he sent someone to inform the people in the Palace of the Xianwang that the Xianwang was staying in the palace tonight.

Zhou Xu gradually realized that the emperor was also a man of temperament, so he was no longer as restrained as before. Seeing that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight, he held a wine jar and said, "Brother emperor, why don't we go up to the roof to drink? It's a little cold." Then he pointed to a pavilion in the middle of the lake not far away.

The emperor nodded and said: "It's unique, the wine is hot, and it won't be cold after drinking."

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhou Xu snorted, put his arm around the wine jar and the emperor's waist with the other, and said, "Brother Huang, hold on tight to my hand."

With just a swipe, he jumped onto the roof of the attic. Sure enough, the high place was extremely cold, but the lake and moonlight made it more open and clear.

Zhou Xu waited for the emperor to stand firm before letting go. The emperor was still dumbfounded, obviously surprised by Zhou Xu's sudden flight.

"Brother Huang, I was too proud just now, I offended you." Zhou Xu bowed his hands to the emperor like a quack to express his apology.

The emperor smiled suddenly: "It's just that I didn't expect you to have such a hand, Hengzhi, but I saved Eunuch Hai and went to move the ladder." Then he sat down: "We used to drink like this before, but that You were a bit shorter than me at that time, let alone carry me to the roof, then I can lift you up with one hand." Thinking of the past, the emperor's eyes softened a lot.

"It's a pity that my brother doesn't remember much about the past..." I thought that the emperor must be bullying me because I can't remember lying, and there is only two or three years of age difference between the wise king and the emperor.

"It's fine if you don't remember." The emperor sat down on the ridge of the roof, opened the wine jar and said, "It also saves a lot of trouble." After speaking, he took a sip by himself, then turned around and handed the wine jar to Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu took a sip from the wine jar, it was gentle and sweet, and it was a high-quality rice wine, but for Zhou Xu, the rice wine was too mild and not strong enough, so he couldn't help but took two more sips.

"Hengzhi, don't drink so hard, I won't be able to get off when I get drunk later."

"Don't worry, Brother Huang, I won't get drunk at this point." He took another sip

"That's right, Heng'er, you are different now." As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Zhou Xu, half-closed his eyes and said, "Did you go to Lying Su Yue Zhai today?"

The voice was biting, and Zhou Xu had goosebumps all over his body.
