358 Pavilion
Royal Palace.
In the warm spring of March, the flowers in the Royal Garden are in brilliant purples and reds.
The Queen and Yang Jinxin walked half a step apart among the flowers and willows.
The Queen pointed in front of her casually, and a palace maid immediately walked over and took the opened bowl.
Peonies with large green stamens and white petals were cut out, placed on a jade plate, and presented respectfully.
Arrive in front of the Queen.
Green peonies are rare, and those with green pistils and white petals are even more rare.
If you put it outside, you can't buy it with a thousand taels of silver. Whoever gets it will not take good care of it.
. Even the Wuxing Marquis Mansion, or the former Xingguo Gongfu, or the Dachang Princess Mansion are also rare.
Such treasures of green stamens, not to mention the ease of cutting out the flowers that are blooming just right.
That pot of peony, without the most beautiful flower in bloom, suddenly became much duller.
The Queen picked up the green peony flower, put it between her two fingers and turned it slightly, and said with a faint smile: "You
Look, being a queen is really good. No one would dare to cut such a beautiful flower if you want.
What should I say in front of me?"
"The empress is naturally the most noble. No matter how many flowers there are in this garden, the empress will always be the most noble."
The person who cut the flowers." Yang Jinxin said with a smile.
It will be the day of the draft soon. It won’t take half a month. There are many more beautiful flowers in this imperial garden.
Is she as charming and passionate as my son? Yang Jinxin said this just to comfort and flatter the Queen.
meaning.
The empress heard the words, turned around and gently inserted the green peony into Yang Jinxin's bun.
. She took a half step back to take a look, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful." After saying that, she shook her head slightly.
He shook his head, snorted slightly, and said: "Second sister, why do you say such a thing? How could I be here?"
What do you mean? If there is someone who can protect the flowers from being cut, I will leave it to her."
In the future, there may be someone who is favored and dares to compete with the Queen. She may not use the name of her love of flowers to argue with the Queen who loves to cut flowers for the sake of face. But what the Queen meant just now is
The clouds are calm and the wind is light, which makes the contenders even more boring.
Even if I give it to her, so what? The Queen was stunned in her heart, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Yang Jinxin's smile was a little uncomfortable.
The two of them were tired from walking, so they took steps up a stacked gentle slope and entered a small and exquisite pavilion up there.
The warm breeze blows slowly, and it is very comfortable to sit high and look into the distance.
After the palace maid served cakes and tea, she stood outside the pavilion.
The Queen took a sip of the fragrant soup and looked around for a while to admire the exquisite spring weather. Then she cast her phoenix eyes on Yang Jinxin and asked: "Second sister is here today. Do you have something to say to me? Look at your appearance.
Lost in spirit."
Yang Jin panicked, but lowered his head.
This obviously has something to say.
The Empress waved her hand and asked Aunt Liuyun who was standing behind her to step back. She asked, "What is it? Third Aunt has been worrying about your marriage recently, saying that she has found several good talents... Look at you like this
, is it because of my marriage?"
Yang Jinxin glanced at the Queen quickly, lowered her head, bit her lip and refused to speak for a while.
The Queen was not in a hurry, picked up the tea and sipped it carefully.
When I was in a boudoir, I always had worries of one kind or another. But after I got married, looking back, those worries seemed so interesting and ridiculous.
Yang Jinxin finally raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Empress, if you had a choice back then... would you still enter the palace?"
A glimmer of light flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she said calmly: "What's the use of always looking back on the things that have been determined?"
Back then, when the imperial edict came out, all her plans were too late. She had no choice.
Yang Jinxin pursed her lips, was silent for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Empress, who is he? Are your identities and his identities so different? If not, haven't you thought about fighting for it?"
It was full of unwillingness.
The queen's eyes turned cold.
After a long while, she swallowed the slightly bitter tea in her mouth and said calmly: "You have the person you like? And it's not from the right family?"
If Yang Jinxin hadn't seen that she was really distressed at this time, the Queen would have reprimanded her sharply. Those past events, everyone just wanted to forget them and treat them as if they never happened, but Yang Jinxin kept mentioning them without mercy!
Yang Jinxin hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly explained the interaction between herself and Liu Shenzhi: "...I originally thought very well. After that night, it was the last memory. I will have no regrets in the future. Which one of him
He really returned to the clan, returned to the Liu family, and became the eldest son of the Liu family. I heard that this autumn, he will end. He has his eldest brother as a friend, and now he has the strong support of Mr. Liu behind him, so winning the imperial examination is almost inevitable.
…”
With the title of Juren, one can legitimately enter the official career.
The Liu family has been a famous family for decades, and the eldest son of the Liu family is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of Marquis Wuxing. With her previous confession of her feelings, if Liu Shen came to propose marriage before, what excuse would Wuxing Marquis have for not accepting the offer?
"Isn't this great?" the Queen said lightly.
"But my mother said..." Yang Jinxin felt frightened every time she thought of Mrs. Wu Xinghou's analysis of her - in such an environment, a pack of wolves was definitely looking around, and as long as there was the slightest chance, they would kill her.
Torn to pieces!
She is really scared!
She always felt that she was extremely brave, especially after what she did that night. She was undoubtedly proud of her courage - which noble lady could face her own feelings and make some actions like her?
What!
But after hearing Mrs. Wu Xinghou's words, she realized that she was not brave at all.
For so many days, she didn't even dare to see him.
"So this is why you are so worried." The Queen smiled softly.
Isn’t this girl’s thoughts very interesting?
When you don't get what you want, you think about it all day long; when you see your wish coming true, you still think about it all day long and feel miserable.
There is always hope for her... The Queen sighed, her voice softened, and she said to Yang Jinxin: "Let me ask you... Do you think that your cousin Wei Wei will marry the person she likes even if she harms another person?
Is the choice right or wrong? Look, she was married
She was a step-mother, with her eldest son and daughter, and there were two good concubines before her who had given birth to children and had meritorious service... She was a noble daughter of the Duke of the country, and she was in such an environment, and she had such a crush on her.
People treat her lightly, do you think she feels aggrieved?"
Naturally, it is aggrieved.
Yang Jinxin thought like this.
"But look, what is Wei Wei doing now? She put away her former coquettishness, learned to be a housekeeper, learned to communicate, learned to be gentle and virtuous... just because she felt that it was all worth it. She felt that it was worth it, and her heart
Without resentment, I feel happy."
"What about you? Jin'er, do you think it's worth it?" The Queen looked at Yang Jinxin and said, "Don't he know how nervous you are in the Liu family's inner house? If he knows, he can feel sorry for your suffering. Besides, after he becomes an official,
If you want to escape from the Liu family's inner house, all you have to do is find a job abroad. Do you think he can't help himself as to what kind of position he will have in the future?"
The queen sneered lightly.
With the Yang family as the Yue family, official positions below the sixth rank are not up to him to choose!
From the Queen's point of view, Yang Jinxin had obviously gone too far and lost her head! It was so funny to watch!
The third aunt is really... She has nothing to do but plan a dowry and the manpower for her daughter. Why are she scaring her daughter? Isn't it fun to see her daughter confused and uneasy?
The Empress thought again and understood Mrs. Wu Xinghou's painstaking efforts: Who would have thought that Yang Jinxin, who had always acted in a measured manner, could do something as bold as traveling with her foreign husband! Even if she covered her face, what would it matter?
use!
If by any chance that person had bad intentions and publicized this matter, if Liu Shenzhi's background hadn't happened to come from such a background, the daughter of the Marquis of Wuxing might have really wanted to marry a doctor!
She is so courageous and acts so recklessly. She can only be scared by being hot-headed and completely disregarding the consequences!
Yang Jinxin's eyes widened, and her jade-like cheeks were stained with crimson. She opened her mouth several times, and finally said nothing in shame. She lowered her head deeply, revealing a graceful curve of her neck.
Such a wonderful scenery, with its gleaming luster, actually outshone the flowers blooming around it.
Is this the beauty of a young woman? The Empress stared at Yang Jinxin, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her eyes became trance-like.
There was a time when she was so beautiful...
The Empress suddenly felt a little unmotivated, and said to Yang Jinxin: "I am tired, so I will go back first. Think about it carefully. You used to be smart, how come you have become a confused person now? It really is love.
Harming people...haha."
The empress stood up, and Yang Jinxin's face turned pale when she heard this, with a bit of embarrassment in her eyes, and she stood up in panic.
The Empress waved her hand to signal Yang Jinxin not to follow her at this time, and left first, leaving several palace maids standing guard outside the pavilion.
Watching the empress go away, she saw that the imperial garden was very quiet and no one came to disturb her. She was in a trance. She was about to sit down and take care of herself when she suddenly saw all the maids standing outside the pavilion kneeling down silently. She raised her head and
He took a quick look and saw a tall figure wearing bright yellow uniforms walking slowly into the hall. Without thinking too much, he walked around the seats in the pavilion and knelt on the ground.
"My daughter has met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity." Yang Jinxin said respectfully.
At this time, the black boots embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragon pattern had stopped on the ground in front of her, less than a foot away from her; the rich smell of dragon's birth fragrance quickly overcame the fragrance of spring flowers, filling the air domineeringly.
The entire pavilion was filled.
Yang Jinxin only felt that she was enveloped by the fragrance. Her mouth was dry, her heart was pounding, and she had difficulty breathing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
