The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Later, Tao Anran rarely left the mansion, but he could also hear Liang Wang's voice was very loud.On the contrary, Xiao Jingyu went to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites on time every day in a peaceful manner, and was busy in the study when he was resting, or sat around and chatted with him.

Although Tao Anran feels that such a stable life is not bad.But in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jingyu's sense of existence has become lower.

After the chilly early spring, in the warm spring of March, all kinds of flowers are rushing to open.The fragrant garden outside the palace is already full of spring scenery.Emperor Jinde held a flower viewing banquet and invited all his ministers and their families to enjoy the flowers in Fangyuan and have fun with everyone.

It is said to be viewing flowers, but in fact, everyone is taking this opportunity to gather the younger generations who have reached the age of the family and have not yet married to look at each other.In this way, not only the adults can communicate with each other, but also the juniors can meet more people.

Since it was a flower viewing banquet, Tao Anran, as the concubine of Zhenbei, would naturally not be absent.And it was off that day, so the husband and wife took a carriage to Fangyuan together.

Fangyuan covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It imitates the small bridges and flowing water buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, complete with strange rocks, pines and cypresses.Flowers of various colors collected from all over the country are planted here and there.Flowers bloom all year round.It's just that a hundred flowers bloom in spring, and the scenery is especially beautiful.So almost every spring, Emperor Jinde would go to Fangyuan to enjoy flowers with his ministers.

However, it was about having fun together, Emperor Jinde also knew that if he was with his courtiers, it would inevitably make people tremble and lose their elegance.So he allowed people to go to Fangyuan without paying special visits, just to enjoy the flowers.Fangyuan has a large area, and it will not be too late to enjoy the spring together if we can meet each other.

Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu entered Fangyuan, and they didn't meet anyone at first.They leisurely appreciate the spring scenery.

Peach and plum branches, pink and white flowers bloom, bees and butterflies dance lightly.The spring breeze blows, and the fallen petals are colorful.

Walking on the path of petals, Tao Anran said to Xiao Jingyu: "My lord, the scenery here is really beautiful. The garden is full of fragrance, no wonder it is called Fangyuan."

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "We have just entered the garden, and there will be more flowers behind."

Tao Anran was full of anticipation, and after turning the corner, he saw a large field of open peonies, which was really beautiful and heavenly.But probably because the peonies bloom so beautifully, many people have already gathered together to enjoy the peonies.

If you look carefully, they are all female relatives, colorful and beautiful.They couldn't help being a little cautious when they saw the visitor.And there are also people who don't know each other.Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu looked at each other, nodded slightly to them, then walked straight along the path and left the peony garden.

However, there are many flowers and plants in Fangyuan. After passing the peony garden, I saw a row of graceful magnolias in a blink of an eye.The white magnolias stand in the spring like graceful fairies, each with its own style.

And there are stone tables and benches placed next to it for tourists to rest.The two immediately decided to stop here and admire for a while.The two quietly admired the beautiful scenery, enjoyed the warm spring sun, and looked at each other occasionally, feeling very happy.

And not far away, a group of people came.It is Mrs. and Miss Dingyuan Houfu.

Mrs. Shen asked her daughter beside her as she walked, "Yun'e, what do you think of the son of Li Shilang's family? Mother thinks he is handsome and has a simple family relationship, so he is a good match."

Shen Yun'e deliberately refused, but she still said tactfully: "Mother, you only see him as good-looking, but you don't know his character. How can I answer you like this?"

Mrs. Shen replied: "You can take a look first. If you like it, mother will send someone to inquire about his character. Yun'e, originally mother also wanted to keep you for two more years, but now it is different from the past. There is only you as a prostitute. Well, you still have to settle for a family as soon as possible. I don’t want to be able to find a family of high-ranking officials and nobles, but at least you have to be innocent and treat you well. In this way, you will be considered married. You can live a good life. Then your father and I can rest assured."

Shen Yun'e couldn't help being moved, she understands this truth.When she was away from the palace, she had met King Liang twice.She knew what was going on.And she also heard from her father that Liang Wang seemed to have the intention of wooing him.So in order to avoid being involved in this turmoil, she had to get engaged early.

It's just that she is not reconciled in her heart.But looking at her parents' distressed faces, she couldn't make up her mind.At this time, she couldn't help but think of Princess Zhenbei, if she encountered such a situation, she didn't know how to deal with it.

Just as Shen Yun'e thought of something, she glanced away from the corner of her eyes and found Princess Zhenbei sitting not far away.And next to him is King Zhenbei.She hastily interrupted her mother, and motioned to her the prince and princess sitting over there.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly took someone to salute and say hello.

"I have seen the prince and princess."

Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu turned around and looked back when they heard footsteps.Tao Anran didn't know anyone, so he didn't speak.But Xiao Jingyu seemed to know someone, and quickly said: "So it's Madam Dingyuan Hou, Madam Shen is very polite."

It was only then that Tao Anran knew that this woman was Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, so the lady next to her was Shen Yun'e?Tao Anran looked intently, just as Shen Yun'e was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and Shen Yun'e said with a smile: "Before I had dinner with the princess in Taibai Building, I agreed to treat the little girl, but I didn't expect the princess to spend money. It's really Yun'e's fault."

Tao Anran looked at Shen Yun'e's attire today, the chrysanthemum-pattern top was paired with a silver-pattern embroidered butterfly skirt, and a soft fur brocade cape was covering the outside, and her hair was combed into a double ring bun.The whole person looks like a delicate and beautiful young lady.How can you tell that it is the handsome young man from before.

After listening to her words, Tao Anran smiled and said: "I invited you to Taibailou, and you have invited me after ordering food and dining with me. I just paid for it."

Mrs. Shen seemed to know about this, she quickly said: "I have heard from Yun'e that the prince and concubine once saved her, but we have never come to thank her, it is really our fault. Even Yun'e wanted to treat the princess to eat It's a simple meal, and the princess paid for it, so I really don't know what to do."

Xiao Jingyu replied: "Madam Shen doesn't have to worry about this matter. It was a coincidence that she rescued Miss Shen at the beginning. Even if it was someone else, I'm afraid they would help. Miss Shen wanted to treat the princess to dinner, and the princess also ate very happily. That's enough. Leave it alone."

Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter, but before she could decide what to say, she heard the king of Zhenbei ask, "Why are there only Mrs. Shen and Miss, not Ding Yuanhou?"

Shen Yun'e quickly replied: "My father occasionally feels cold and unwell, so only the youngest daughter and mother came to Fangyuan this time."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, and then said: "The magnolias are in full bloom here, Mrs. Shen and Ms. Shen can enjoy the scenery here. The princess and I have already seen the magnolias, and we are going elsewhere. Let me take my leave first."

Tao Anran also hurriedly prepared to go to other places to enjoy flowers together with Xiao Jingyu.

Madam Shen saw that King Zhenbei and his concubine avoided suspicion, and when she felt at ease, she also reminded: "In the tea garden in front, there are two luxuriant [-]th scholars, which attracted many people to watch. Mrs. Rong Guogong is also there Enjoy the flowers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyu replied, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for letting me know. We won't bother you any more. Let's leave."

After leaving the range of the magnolia flower, Tao Anran asked softly: "Who is Mrs. Rong Guogong? The prince seems to want to see her very much."

It was only then that Xiao Jingyu remembered that he hadn't introduced him to the concubine, so he explained as he walked: "Mr. Rong was the important minister who founded the court. The old lady is even more senior. When she was a princess, she exchanged handkerchiefs with my grandmother. Because she doesn't have a daughter, she regards my mother as her own daughter. She hugged me when I was a child. Then something happened, and she spent all day copying scriptures and chanting Buddha in the mansion, ignoring trivial matters. I didn't expect to see you again today To the old lady."

As soon as Tao Anran heard it, she knew that the old lady must have treated Xiao Jingyu well in the past, and she was a close elder.

They didn't go far, and when they arrived at the tea garden, they saw a group of people gathered together.I don't know who has sharp eyesight, saw them first, and then shouted out.

"Zhenbei King and Princess are here!"

The crowd immediately separated into two halves, and everyone hurriedly saluted them.Tao Anran saw the old lady surrounded by the crowd at a glance.

Xiao Jingyu also saw it, and quickly stepped forward two steps and shouted: "Madam, how are you doing recently?"

The old lady is old and looks kind and kind, but her eyes don't seem to be very good.She squinted her eyes at Xiao Jingyu, looked at it for a while, and then asked half-believingly, "Is it Your Highness?"

Hearing this long-lost address, Xiao Jingyu responded with a smile: "It's Jingyu, who came to say hello to the old lady."

The old lady got an affirmative answer, took Xiao Jingyu's hand, and sighed: "I said why you look so familiar. You are so tall. Son, you and your mother really look alike."

The old lady's last words were a little choked up, full of emotion.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu quickly pulled the concubine over and said, "Old lady, you don't have to feel sorry, Jingyu has married now. Presumably the spirit of the queen mother will rest in peace in heaven. Look, this is my concubine Tao Anran."

Tao Anran hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the old lady. I wish the old lady well."

The old lady noticed Tao Anran, quickly took his hand and put it together with Xiao Jingyu's, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "It's really a good match. At first glance, they are both talented and handsome, a natural match."

The people next to him also said some kind words with wit.

After hearing these words, the old lady was happier than Tao Anran and the others.She held the two of them tightly, with gentle eyes, looked at them carefully, and talked to them.

The old lady smiled and asked, "How long have you been married? When are you going to give birth to a fat baby?"

Tao Anran blushed and bowed her head in silence, she was really unable to resist.

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "I will tell you first when I have a happy event in the future."

The old lady smiled and said: "Then you have to hurry up, I still want to see you give birth to more fat babies! I don't know if I can wait until that day?"

Xiao Jingyu replied: "Old lady, don't worry, you will be able to see it after a long life."

The old lady laughed, and seeing that everyone was watching, she hurriedly said, "Don't surround yourself with me, look at these eighteen bachelors, how beautiful they are."

Then she turned her head and asked Tao Anran, "Do you like the Eighteen Scholars? If you like it, I will go tell the emperor, dig it up, and plant it in the palace."

Tao Anran quickly refused, "No need, thank you, old lady."

Good camellias will grow here.Wouldn't it be a pity if there was no work to be done when moving to the palace.

The old lady was not angry when she was rejected, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you don't like camellias, I'll give you a few beautiful orchids soon. It's just that I didn't bring any suitable gifts for you today, so you can accept this bracelet as a meeting gift." .I hope you don't dislike it."

As he spoke, he took off the bracelet and wrapped it around Tao Anran's wrist.When Tao Anran saw that the beads on the bracelet were full and smooth, it was the owner's favorite, and it had been moist for a long time.

Tao Anran was about to take it off and refuse, when Xiao Jingyu held down her hand.Tao Anran immediately understood the meaning, and replied: "Thank you for the gift, old lady, I like it very much."

The old lady seemed satisfied, and said, "Just like it."
