I heard my brother is a tyrant
Chapter 51
Qingliang Hall was in court meeting, Chen Lianjiang saw the servant of Yuqianzhai appearing outside the hall out of the corner of his eyes, and went out quietly.
The servant lowered his voice and said a few words, Chen Lianjiang's complexion changed, he quickly ran to Xie Dan in small steps, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's people have gone to Yuqianzhai."
Xie Dan's face turned cold, but he wasn't in a hurry.If the Empress Dowager's people can do anything to An An today, then dozens of servants inside and outside Yuqianzhai should all be executed.He explained the matter in a few words coldly, then called back to the court, got up and left on his own, leaving behind a group of courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay.
The gate of Yuqianzhai was peaceful, Chang Shun stood by the gate, when he saw Xie Dan coming, he hurried forward to salute and report back.Xie Dan nodded and asked, "Where is the girl?"
"The girl didn't come out, I heard she was woken up, and she is currently dressing up."
Xie Dan hummed and stepped in.Enter from the gate of Yuqianzhai, pass through the courtyard planted with a few Albizia julibrissin trees, first Xie Dan's residence, pass by several houses with double eaves and green tiles, pass a moon gate and a small and elegant flower garden, bypass Chaoshou Going through the veranda, I entered another small courtyard.
There are several flower stands scattered high and low in the courtyard, with dozens of pots of peonies of various colors on the stands.The peonies in the capital should already be in bloom at this time of year. The temperature in the palace is cool, and the people in the flower and wooden house are meticulously tending to them, so the peonies in the courtyard are still in full bloom.
Yuqianzhai was originally supposed to be used as a palace, with a front hall and a backyard, a pavilion and a small flower garden in the middle, Xie Dan asked someone to make some changes, the place is actually not too spacious, but the two masters are willing to squeeze live.
When Xie Dan passed by the flower stand, his footsteps paused. Hearing the crisp laughter of the young girls in the room, he picked a pink and purple multi-colored peony, and walked in with his hands behind his back.
Ye Chu was sitting in front of the dressing table, holding a cup of stewed snow clams with longan roses in his hand, and several maidservants were surrounding her combing her hair.Seeing him coming in, Ye Chu turned around and smiled, "Brother, why are you back at this time?"
"Nothing to do ahead, come back to see you." Xie Dan walked behind her and looked at the little girl in the mirror.
"Brother, someone was making a noise at the door just now, which woke me up. I seemed to hear someone calling the empress dowager. I was startled. I thought the empress dowager had come to our house."
She originally wanted to go out to have a look, but was stopped by Chunjiang, who said that there were no empress dowagers outside, but a few strangers who didn't understand the rules and chatted, maybe they were doing some work in the garden.When Ye Chu heard that he was a stranger, and he had just woken up and hadn't combed his hair or face, he gave up the idea of going out and obediently sat in the room to wash and dress up.
Then Chunjiang sent a group of little maids to circle her around, discussing which clothes to wear today, which hair to comb, which pearl flower to wear and so on.
Xie Dan glanced at Chunjiang approvingly, reached out and put the peony flower in Ye Chu's side on the hanging servant girl, and said with a smile, "I think this looks better than the pearl flower."
Ye Chu shook his head and complained: "Brother, why did you pick my flower? There were only two peonies in that pot, and you still picked the bigger one."
Xie Dan said: "Isn't it grown in a flower pot for viewing, don't worry, there are still flower buds on it."
"But no one wears such a big flower. If I want to go out, everyone has to come to see me." She said in her mouth, stretched out her hand to insert the flower firmly, and asked casually, "Brother, the empress dowager is the emperor grandma, right?"
"correct."
"Honey?"
"Darling." Xie Dan smiled, "Why do you ask that?"
Ye Chu: "Because the emperor has many concubines."
"..." Xie Dan regretted asking such an extra question, and told her to have a good breakfast, then said he had something to do and left.
Xie Dan stood under the acacia tree in his courtyard and meditated for a while, when the servant came to report that the Empress Dowager invited him over.
When Xie Dan arrived at Funing Palace, as soon as he entered the door, he saw broken porcelain all over the floor. Both Chu Congchan and Wei Linbo were kneeling on the ground, shrunk like two quails in the cold wind on a hot day.
Seeing the emperor coming in, Wei Linbo secretly moved his knees to breathe a sigh of relief.She came to the Empress Dowager's Palace early in the morning to say hello, and the Empress Dowager told her to stay with Chu Congchan, saying that she wanted to meet someone together.Wei Linbo sat in the Funing Hall for a long time, wondering who he was going to see, who knew that Eunuch Liu was helped in by some of his subordinates, and as soon as he entered the door, he threw himself at the Empress Dowager's feet and wailed loudly, as if Like dead parents.
Only then did Wei Linbo realize that the person summoned by the Empress Dowager turned out to be Miss Ye.She thumped in her heart, and said in her heart, it's too bad.
Xie Dan calmly stepped over the broken teacup, bowed to say hello, then went to sit down on the chair and asked: "Who made the emperor's grandmother so angry, what happened? "
"The emperor really doesn't know? Why don't you go to Ai's house to play a show!" The empress dowager began to cry and complain, starting from Xie Dan's grandfather, pity her, a widowed old woman who lost her husband and son, and there is only this A grandson, orphans and widows depend on each other, but who knows that the grandson is so disobedient and unfilial.
"...you go, invite all the clan relatives to enter the palace, invite the senior ministers of the court to come, the Ai family wants them to be the masters of the Ai family, and the Ai family wants to ask them, Ai family is a widowed old woman, how can she live these days? To let people humiliate me so much, this is to be angry and mourn my family..."
The Empress Dowager burst into tears, Xie Dan listened quietly, and asked with a frown, "What happened?"
The Empress Dowager scolded: "Don't you know? Stop pretending to the Ai family!"
Xie Dan said: "I just heard about the grand court meeting in Qingliang Palace today. It's my fault that the emperor's grandmother is so angry. Please calm down first, and I will give you an explanation."
The empress dowager choked on his unhurried and careless appearance, and said angrily: "Then you should give the Ai family a good explanation, and the Ai family is waiting."
"It's all my fault, I apologized to the imperial grandmother." Xie Dan said, "So it was for An'an. Who told the imperial grandmother that there is such a person by my side?
"Why, do you still want to question Ai's family?"
"Of course not." Xie Dan smiled indifferently, "It's just that whoever told the emperor's grandmother about this matter should be shot! This person can't pass the word clearly. He provoked the relationship between our grandparents and made the emperor's grandmother so angry. Waiting for a person with sinister intentions, it is not too much to tear the corpse into thousands of pieces."
The empress dowager's heart trembled, she settled down, and still asked sternly: "Are you complaining about the Ai family? The Ai family is your own grandmother, and the Ai family just cares about you. You like a woman, and the Ai family can't wait to see you." Well, you just put her in the harem, and you keep her outside, in front of the imperial court, what's the proper way? The Ai family is looking forward to having a confidant by your side all day long, who will spread branches and leaves for the royal family and give the Ai family To give birth to a great-grandson, the Ai family called her here today because they just want to meet this woman, can the Ai family make things difficult for her?"
"The emperor's grandmother is my own grandmother. If you want to know about An An, just ask me. If you want to see An An, just tell me. I will bring her to see you. I will come to ask you every now and then. If you have something to say, the emperor grandma will just say it. What else is there for our grandparents to hide?"
Xie Dan paused in a casual tone, and then asked, "Who is pushing the emperor's grandmother? Everyone in the palace should know that I will not go to the Qingliang Palace today, and I must take advantage of this time to summon her. People don't know about this, let alone the people in the imperial grandmother's palace, which caused such a situation. Isn't this just trying to stir up discord between our grandparents and grandchildren? With such sinister intentions, the emperor's grandmother and my direct blood, don't be instigated by others .”
"Are you blaming the Ai family instead?" The Empress Dowager said, "No wonder that woman spoiled you so lawlessly that even the Ai family dared to treat them like this. Is there any Ai family in your eyes?"
"Grandmother is serious." Xie Dan said, "Grandmother doesn't know something. An An is not a girl raised outside. She is the daughter of my savior. She was brought by my side since she was a child, and she was raised by me alone. I raise a half-grown child who doesn't understand anything, and is ignorant and ignorant, so there's nothing wrong with it. It's all my fault that I didn't teach her well. If she makes mistakes, it's all my fault."
Xie Dan got up and left his seat, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "I plead guilty to the emperor's grandmother, and ask the emperor's grandmother to punish me!"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she fell on the back of the couch and almost didn't get up in one breath.
Seeing that something was wrong, the mother next to her quickly knelt down and said, "The Empress Dowager calms down, Your Majesty calms down! Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager also doesn't know the reason. I only heard that there is a beloved woman beside you. The Empress Dowager is very happy. I just want to meet you. Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is your direct grandson and has always been respectful and filial to you, why should you get angry with him over such a trivial matter."
The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, and for this sake, there is no point in crying and fussing. The Empress Dowager quickly calmed down. The emperor and the Empress Dowager sat upright indifferently, and the hall was deadly silent.
After a while, the Empress Dowager spoke again and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"What should I do?" Xie Dan asked.
The empress dowager said: "What does it look like for you to raise someone in front of the imperial court? It's against the rules! If you like her, you should give her a title, at least give her a title and put her in the harem. Raising her in the imperial court is a must. What a system!"
"Put An An in the harem?" Xie Dan smiled playfully and said softly, "Grandmother, An An is different, she is not my concubine, what kind of harem did she enter. An An was weak and timid since she was a child." She is weak and can't take care of herself. How dare I send her to the harem to worry about the emperor's grandmother, so I can only take care of her. She has been raised by my side for more than ten years. She is a young daughter, and she can't break many rules. system."
"Hey!" The Empress Dowager snorted and said, "Then someday you will bring it here for Ai's family to see, and Ai's family wants to see what kind of stunning beauty you are."
"The emperor's grandmother is destined, so I will bring her here some other day." Xie Dan said, "It's just that it may take some time, An'an is already weak, and after being so frightened today, the imperial doctor has been passed on. A few days will do."
Xie Dan came out of Funing Hall, smiled and instructed Chen Lianjiang: "Pass it down, the maids and guards of Yuqianzhai will be dedicated to their duties, and all servants will be rewarded for three months."
"Hey, I got it." Chen Lianjiang snickered, he had to tell someone to spread the news.Eunuch Chen murmured in his heart, why didn't the Qingliang Palace deliver such a good thing.
As soon as Xie Dan left, the Empress Dowager smashed the newly replaced teacup to pieces.
The mother persuaded: "The empress dowager calm down. However, a little girl is still a sick child after hearing this situation. You don't have to have a quarrel with the emperor because of a girl."
"Isn't there any rift between him and the Ai family? When did he really respect the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager was silent and said, "For some reason, the Ai family always feels uneasy."
Eunuch Liu knelt down and cried: "Empress Dowager, you are the master of this servant, is this beating for nothing?"
The nanny said: "Calm down, it will kill you to be beaten today, and you didn't hear what the emperor meant. If he asked you about the crime of sowing dissension and ineffectiveness today, what would you do?" How to die?"
"Get out!" The Empress Dowager waved back Eunuch Liu in a disturbed manner, and pushed away the idlers and others. She sat for a while and couldn't help complaining to her mother, "It's all you, why did you come up with such a bad idea? Didn't find out the details of that woman!"
Mammy bowed her head in grievance, the people in front of the imperial court were not so easy to arrange.
The Empress Dowager said: "Send someone to the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion to spread a message, telling them to be more careful for a while, ordering their children and grandchildren to study behind closed doors, be cautious in their words and deeds, and don't cause any trouble at this pass."
***
Ye Chu, who the emperor said was "weak and unable to take care of himself", was recuperating from his illness, and now he was wearing such a big peony flower on his head, and he rode a pony to find Han Jingshu to play with.
After Ye Yu returned to Beijing, Mrs. Xuan Pinghou was also reluctant to control Han Jingshu, and the key point was that she couldn't control Han Jingshu. After a few days of seeing each other, Han Jingshu became addicted to horse racing, and she was already familiar with the circle of princes and grandchildren.Now everyone in the circle knows not to easily agree to a horse race with the young daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, losing to her would be too embarrassing, but even if you win her by luck, it is not an honorable thing.
Ye Chu and Han Jingshu met on the road in Han's other courtyard, discussing where to go.It's hot and sunny, and the two of them should go back after playing for a while, so it's not easy to go far.
Looking down the mountain from this place, you can see an empty racecourse at the foot of the mountain. I heard that there is a May Poetry Festival in the past few days. Most of the noble ladies have gone, to show their talents here, and to elect the annual poet champion.
Han Jingshu was a little disappointed that there was no horse racing. After discussing it, the two decided to go to Yingshan Xiyuan to play.On the northwest side of the palace, a large garden was built, called Xiyuan, with lakes and mountains, which is relatively independent from the palace. The royal family can come here for summer viewing and relaxation, and the princes and nobles from nearby palaces and other courtyards can come to visit the garden. .
Ye Chu thought about it, then go and have a look.
After the two went there, they found that there seemed to be a lot of people today. The entrance road was crowded with cars and horses, and there were many princes and grandchildren and rich daughters. Ye Ling inquired a little, and heard that today's May Poetry Club will be held at Xicui Pavilion in Xiyuan held.
Ye Chu and Han Jingshu looked at each other and decided to come here, avoid the Xicui Pavilion, and go back after playing for a while.
They walked along the path of flowers, trees, mountains and rocks, and met a few noble ladies head-on. When they saw them, a group of people looked at Ye Chu one after another.Ye Chu suddenly lost interest in visiting the garden.
Several people were discussing in low voices whether she was the Lord of Jiayi County, and one of them, Wang Si, who had met a while ago, hurriedly told the people around him that this was not the Lord of Jiayi County, and that the Lord of Jiayi County was already at the Xicui Pavilion. up.
Wang Si said: "She should be a relative of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion. She may have a little relationship with the county magistrate, so there is a certain resemblance. Look at the child next to her, isn't she the granddaughter of Marquis Xuanping?"
Another noble woman said: "This woman doesn't dress like a small family. Look at the shirt on her body. Is it the light gauze from Jiangnan? And the peony flower on her head, it's not a peony of multiple colors." Everything."
Wang Si said: "I'm afraid the family has a lot of money. Anyway, I don't have any official positions. I dare not report to her when I ask her about her family. I think she may be a merchant girl, so she came to Xuanpinghou's mansion to climb high."
At this moment, a boy in white clothes ran over, ran up to Ye Chu and saluted shyly, "Young lady, the students here are polite."
Ye Chu turned his head to look at Ye Ling next to him, and asked with his eyes: What did he say?
The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, he looked quite refined, he spoke shyly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Which family is the girl from, I have never seen her before. Are you also here to participate in the poetry meeting?"
Ye Chu stopped, and slightly touched Ye Hui with his arm, Ye Hui said, "No, we are just visiting the garden at will, not participating in any poetry festival. Please don't disturb me, my lord."
The young man in white had a shy face, as if he didn't hear that he was being chased away, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, girl, is the Luocheng Brocade on your head?"
Ye Chu frowned, what did this man say?
The young man in white smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the pink and purple two colors must be Luocheng Brocade. This flower is very rare and rare, and it is hard to find for a thousand dollars. Wearing it on a girl's head is really like a flower, heavenly fragrance and national beauty. "
Ye Chu tilted her head and glanced at him, and realized that he meant the peony flower on her head.
At this time, Wang Si came over and said, "Miss Ye just picked such a precious and difficult-to-raise peony and put it on her head. She really has the heart to destroy the flower."
Ye Chu wanted to say that it wasn't me who picked it, but my brother. You have the ability to tell him to go, but when the words came to his lips, he asked with a smile: "What's the matter with you?"
The white-clothed boy couldn't help but burst out laughing, Wang Si choked up, stomped her feet angrily, turned around and left.
"Girl, don't be angry. Wearing this peony on your head will not disappoint its beauty." The white-clothed boy bowed and bowed, and said with a smile, "Under Weiqi, it turns out that the girl's surname is Ye."
The book boy next to him introduced loudly: "My son is a student of Taixue, and he is the son of the third wife of Duke Wei's mansion."
Ye Ling said: "I'm sorry, young master, my girl has no intention of getting acquainted with you, please don't bother me."
"I'm being rude." The boy said, "The students are not villains, and they have no malicious intentions. We are here today to participate in the May Poetry Festival. May we have the honor to invite girls to accompany us? The people who come are all sons of famous and scholarly families in Beijing. Miss, let’s enjoy the mountains together and make friends through poetry, even if you don’t want to write poetry, you can swim in the lake, Miss Ye, why don’t you go and play?”
Han Jingshu raised her voice and said: "My sister told you not to disturb, don't disturb, my sister doesn't like strangers the least, don't you understand?"
Ye Chu had completely lost interest in playing at the moment, she glanced at the young man with a bit of annoyance in her clear and lingering eyes, stretched out her hand and tore off the "Luocheng brocade" from his head, while complaining to Xie Dan, Turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the young man trotted after him, calling: "Miss Ye, Miss Ye..."
Just as Ye Hui was about to play tricks, a tall man suddenly rushed over from the side and ran straight towards the young man. The two of them collided heavily. The young man who was gentle and frail was knocked down all of a sudden. on the ground.
The book boy next to him was taken aback, and reacted to help him, cursing: "How do you walk, don't you have eyes?"
The other party didn't give way at all, and yelled: "How did he walk by himself, ran around, and I said he hit me first."
"Nonsense, it's obvious that you bumped into me suddenly, can you afford to hurt my young master?"
"Which eye of yours saw me hit him, he hit me today, and I was injured!"
The bumper was obviously well versed in the way of quarreling, and the two sides quarreled in a few words, attracting many people to watch.Ye Chu took the peony flower and left on his own.
She went all the way back to Yuqianzhai, ran into Xie Tan's study, pouted and threw the wilted flower on Xie Tan's desk.
"What's wrong?" Xie Dan asked.
Ye Chu walked over with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "This flower is called Luocheng Brocade, and it is worth thousands of gold."
"??" Xie Dan asked, "And then?"
Ye Chu: "You destroy flowers with your hands!"
Xie Dan laughed and said, "How do I know it's worth a thousand gold? There are so many flowers and plants in the garden, and I can still recognize them all. It just depends on how beautiful it is."
He picked up the flower and looked at it, then smiled and coaxed: "If it is really worth a thousand gold, wearing it on your head, isn't it better than keeping it in the yard and no one will see it?"
"I can't say no to you." The little girl snorted, "It's all your fault anyway."
The servant lowered his voice and said a few words, Chen Lianjiang's complexion changed, he quickly ran to Xie Dan in small steps, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's people have gone to Yuqianzhai."
Xie Dan's face turned cold, but he wasn't in a hurry.If the Empress Dowager's people can do anything to An An today, then dozens of servants inside and outside Yuqianzhai should all be executed.He explained the matter in a few words coldly, then called back to the court, got up and left on his own, leaving behind a group of courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay.
The gate of Yuqianzhai was peaceful, Chang Shun stood by the gate, when he saw Xie Dan coming, he hurried forward to salute and report back.Xie Dan nodded and asked, "Where is the girl?"
"The girl didn't come out, I heard she was woken up, and she is currently dressing up."
Xie Dan hummed and stepped in.Enter from the gate of Yuqianzhai, pass through the courtyard planted with a few Albizia julibrissin trees, first Xie Dan's residence, pass by several houses with double eaves and green tiles, pass a moon gate and a small and elegant flower garden, bypass Chaoshou Going through the veranda, I entered another small courtyard.

The Empress Dowager burst into tears, Xie Dan listened quietly, and asked with a frown, "What happened?"
The Empress Dowager scolded: "Don't you know? Stop pretending to the Ai family!"
Xie Dan said: "I just heard about the grand court meeting in Qingliang Palace today. It's my fault that the emperor's grandmother is so angry. Please calm down first, and I will give you an explanation."
The empress dowager choked on his unhurried and careless appearance, and said angrily: "Then you should give the Ai family a good explanation, and the Ai family is waiting."

"The emperor's grandmother is my own grandmother. If you want to know about An An, just ask me. If you want to see An An, just tell me. I will bring her to see you.

The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, and for this sake, there is no point in crying and fussing. The Empress Dowager quickly calmed down. The emperor and the Empress Dowager sat upright indifferently, and the hall was deadly silent.
After a while, the Empress Dowager spoke again and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"What should I do?" Xie Dan asked.
The empress dowager said: "What does it look like for you to raise someone in front of the imperial court? It's against the rules! If you like her, you should give her a title, at least give her a title and put her in the harem. Raising her in the imperial court is a must. What a system!"
"Put An An in the harem?" Xie Dan smiled playfully and said softly, "Grandmother, An An is different, she is not my concubine, what kind of harem did she enter. An An was weak and timid since she was a child." She is weak and can't take care of herself. How dare I send her to the harem to worry about the emperor's grandmother, so I can only take care of her. She has been raised by my side for more than ten years. She is a young daughter, and she can't break many rules. system."
"Hey!" The Empress Dowager snorted and said, "Then someday you will bring it here for Ai's family to see, and Ai's family wants to see what kind of stunning beauty you are."
"The emperor's grandmother is destined, so I will bring her here some other day." Xie Dan said, "It's just that it may take some time, An'an is already weak, and after being so frightened today, the imperial doctor has been passed on. A few days will do."
Xie Dan came out of Funing Hall, smiled and instructed Chen Lianjiang: "Pass it down, the maids and guards of Yuqianzhai will be dedicated to their duties, and all servants will be rewarded for three months."
"Hey, I got it." Chen Lianjiang snickered, he had to tell someone to spread the news.Eunuch Chen murmured in his heart, why didn't the Qingliang Palace deliver such a good thing.
As soon as Xie Dan left, the Empress Dowager smashed the newly replaced teacup to pieces.
The mother persuaded: "The empress dowager calm down. However, a little girl is still a sick child after hearing this situation. You don't have to have a quarrel with the emperor because of a girl."
"Isn't there any rift between him and the Ai family? When did he really respect the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager was silent and said, "For some reason, the Ai family always feels uneasy."
Eunuch Liu knelt down and cried: "Empress Dowager, you are the master of this servant, is this beating for nothing?"
The nanny said: "Calm down, it will kill you to be beaten today, and you didn't hear what the emperor meant. If he asked you about the crime of sowing dissension and ineffectiveness today, what would you do?" How to die?"
"Get out!" The Empress Dowager waved back Eunuch Liu in a disturbed manner, and pushed away the idlers and others. She sat for a while and couldn't help complaining to her mother, "It's all you, why did you come up with such a bad idea? Didn't find out the details of that woman!"
Mammy bowed her head in grievance, the people in front of the imperial court were not so easy to arrange.
The Empress Dowager said: "Send someone to the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion to spread a message, telling them to be more careful for a while, ordering their children and grandchildren to study behind closed doors, be cautious in their words and deeds, and don't cause any trouble at this pass."
***
Ye Chu, who the emperor said was "weak and unable to take care of himself", was recuperating from his illness, and now he was wearing such a big peony flower on his head, and he rode a pony to find Han Jingshu to play with.
After Ye Yu returned to Beijing, Mrs. Xuan Pinghou was also reluctant to control Han Jingshu, and the key point was that she couldn't control Han Jingshu. After a few days of seeing each other, Han Jingshu became addicted to horse racing, and she was already familiar with the circle of princes and grandchildren.Now everyone in the circle knows not to easily agree to a horse race with the young daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, losing to her would be too embarrassing, but even if you win her by luck, it is not an honorable thing.
Ye Chu and Han Jingshu met on the road in Han's other courtyard, discussing where to go.It's hot and sunny, and the two of them should go back after playing for a while, so it's not easy to go far.
Looking down the mountain from this place, you can see an empty racecourse at the foot of the mountain. I heard that there is a May Poetry Festival in the past few days. Most of the noble ladies have gone, to show their talents here, and to elect the annual poet champion.
Han Jingshu was a little disappointed that there was no horse racing. After discussing it, the two decided to go to Yingshan Xiyuan to play.On the northwest side of the palace, a large garden was built, called Xiyuan, with lakes and mountains, which is relatively independent from the palace. The royal family can come here for summer viewing and relaxation, and the princes and nobles from nearby palaces and other courtyards can come to visit the garden. .
Ye Chu thought about it, then go and have a look.
After the two went there, they found that there seemed to be a lot of people today. The entrance road was crowded with cars and horses, and there were many princes and grandchildren and rich daughters. Ye Ling inquired a little, and heard that today's May Poetry Club will be held at Xicui Pavilion in Xiyuan held.
Ye Chu and Han Jingshu looked at each other and decided to come here, avoid the Xicui Pavilion, and go back after playing for a while.
They walked along the path of flowers, trees, mountains and rocks, and met a few noble ladies head-on. When they saw them, a group of people looked at Ye Chu one after another.Ye Chu suddenly lost interest in visiting the garden.
Several people were discussing in low voices whether she was the Lord of Jiayi County, and one of them, Wang Si, who had met a while ago, hurriedly told the people around him that this was not the Lord of Jiayi County, and that the Lord of Jiayi County was already at the Xicui Pavilion. up.
Wang Si said: "She should be a relative of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion. She may have a little relationship with the county magistrate, so there is a certain resemblance. Look at the child next to her, isn't she the granddaughter of Marquis Xuanping?"
Another noble woman said: "This woman doesn't dress like a small family. Look at the shirt on her body. Is it the light gauze from Jiangnan? And the peony flower on her head, it's not a peony of multiple colors." Everything."
Wang Si said: "I'm afraid the family has a lot of money. Anyway, I don't have any official positions. I dare not report to her when I ask her about her family. I think she may be a merchant girl, so she came to Xuanpinghou's mansion to climb high."
At this moment, a boy in white clothes ran over, ran up to Ye Chu and saluted shyly, "Young lady, the students here are polite."
Ye Chu turned his head to look at Ye Ling next to him, and asked with his eyes: What did he say?
The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, he looked quite refined, he spoke shyly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Which family is the girl from, I have never seen her before. Are you also here to participate in the poetry meeting?"
Ye Chu stopped, and slightly touched Ye Hui with his arm, Ye Hui said, "No, we are just visiting the garden at will, not participating in any poetry festival. Please don't disturb me, my lord."
The young man in white had a shy face, as if he didn't hear that he was being chased away, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, girl, is the Luocheng Brocade on your head?"
Ye Chu frowned, what did this man say?
The young man in white smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the pink and purple two colors must be Luocheng Brocade. This flower is very rare and rare, and it is hard to find for a thousand dollars. Wearing it on a girl's head is really like a flower, heavenly fragrance and national beauty. "
Ye Chu tilted her head and glanced at him, and realized that he meant the peony flower on her head.
At this time, Wang Si came over and said, "Miss Ye just picked such a precious and difficult-to-raise peony and put it on her head. She really has the heart to destroy the flower."
Ye Chu wanted to say that it wasn't me who picked it, but my brother. You have the ability to tell him to go, but when the words came to his lips, he asked with a smile: "What's the matter with you?"
The white-clothed boy couldn't help but burst out laughing, Wang Si choked up, stomped her feet angrily, turned around and left.
"Girl, don't be angry. Wearing this peony on your head will not disappoint its beauty." The white-clothed boy bowed and bowed, and said with a smile, "Under Weiqi, it turns out that the girl's surname is Ye."
The book boy next to him introduced loudly: "My son is a student of Taixue, and he is the son of the third wife of Duke Wei's mansion."
Ye Ling said: "I'm sorry, young master, my girl has no intention of getting acquainted with you, please don't bother me."
"I'm being rude." The boy said, "The students are not villains, and they have no malicious intentions. We are here today to participate in the May Poetry Festival. May we have the honor to invite girls to accompany us? The people who come are all sons of famous and scholarly families in Beijing. Miss, let’s enjoy the mountains together and make friends through poetry, even if you don’t want to write poetry, you can swim in the lake, Miss Ye, why don’t you go and play?”
Han Jingshu raised her voice and said: "My sister told you not to disturb, don't disturb, my sister doesn't like strangers the least, don't you understand?"
Ye Chu had completely lost interest in playing at the moment, she glanced at the young man with a bit of annoyance in her clear and lingering eyes, stretched out her hand and tore off the "Luocheng brocade" from his head, while complaining to Xie Dan, Turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the young man trotted after him, calling: "Miss Ye, Miss Ye..."
Just as Ye Hui was about to play tricks, a tall man suddenly rushed over from the side and ran straight towards the young man. The two of them collided heavily. The young man who was gentle and frail was knocked down all of a sudden. on the ground.
The book boy next to him was taken aback, and reacted to help him, cursing: "How do you walk, don't you have eyes?"
The other party didn't give way at all, and yelled: "How did he walk by himself, ran around, and I said he hit me first."
"Nonsense, it's obvious that you bumped into me suddenly, can you afford to hurt my young master?"
"Which eye of yours saw me hit him, he hit me today, and I was injured!"
The bumper was obviously well versed in the way of quarreling, and the two sides quarreled in a few words, attracting many people to watch.Ye Chu took the peony flower and left on his own.
She went all the way back to Yuqianzhai, ran into Xie Tan's study, pouted and threw the wilted flower on Xie Tan's desk.
"What's wrong?" Xie Dan asked.
Ye Chu walked over with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "This flower is called Luocheng Brocade, and it is worth thousands of gold."
"??" Xie Dan asked, "And then?"
Ye Chu: "You destroy flowers with your hands!"
Xie Dan laughed and said, "How do I know it's worth a thousand gold? There are so many flowers and plants in the garden, and I can still recognize them all. It just depends on how beautiful it is."
He picked up the flower and looked at it, then smiled and coaxed: "If it is really worth a thousand gold, wearing it on your head, isn't it better than keeping it in the yard and no one will see it?"
"I can't say no to you." The little girl snorted, "It's all your fault anyway."
