Records of the King of Xin'an County

In the early morning of the next day, after being washed and washed by the maid, Li Hui went to the inner hall to greet Yan Shi.

Prince Pu's Mansion is the Prince's Mansion, with a total of three roads and seven entrances, spacious and majestic, with extraordinary bearing.When it was built that year, it was repeatedly participated by the censor because it was over-regulated and too gorgeous and exquisite.Although Li Xin has already removed all the excesses, no matter from the slender owl kisses on the eaves, the many lifelike literary and historical stories carved on the window lattices, or the undulating scroll-like towers and pavilions, or The garden with five steps, one scenery and ten steps and one change can roughly infer the grand occasion of this mansion at that time.

At that time, how many romantic figures entered and exited this mansion?How many of them really admire Grandpa's talent?How many people come here just to win future glory and wealth?Where are these people now?Will they regret their original choice?And will he really blame the two "culprits" for what happened to him?

Li Hui stopped suddenly and looked around at the silent and empty palaces and silent towers and pavilions.Right now, there are only five masters in Prince Pu's Mansion, Li Tai and Yan live in the middle road, Li Xin and Zhou live in the east road, and he lives alone in the west road.Because he was the only one in the huge West Road palace complex, and there were not many servants serving him, it seemed empty.When walking in it, you can feel a bit of silence.

At this moment, laughter came from outside the courtyard wall, and horses neighing and cows mooing could also be heard.The breath of fireworks in the world rushed over with the bustle, making the empty palace a little more popular.Li Hui listened carefully, and asked Zhang Fu's mother beside him: "It's still early, and the gate of the workshop has not been opened, why is it suddenly lively outside?"

"Isn't it Shangsi today? Who doesn't want to go for a walk by the water? Hurry up and occupy a suitable sightseeing place while it's still early?" Zhang Fu's mother smiled kindly, "We people in Tang Dynasty always like to play. Enjoy the scenery, every festival, the whole city rushes out, and there is a lot of traffic everywhere. Such a bustling scene is really hard to see in Junzhou."

Li Hui was also looking forward to the rumored Qujiang Pond, so he continued to walk towards the inner hall with a smile on his face.When he and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, accompanied Mrs. Yan to have court food in the inner hall, some servants came to report in a hurry, saying that the carriage of Princess Changning had arrived.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly wanted to get up to meet the guests, but Mrs. Yan pressed her down angrily: "What's the hurry? Use up the morning food well, and don't get up so suddenly next time." While speaking, her brows stretched, and the corners of her mouth held gentleness. How can she see the slightest bit of displeasure brought to her by the sudden visit from the Yan family yesterday?

Zhou's face blushed, and she nodded lightly: "Then there will be Lao Sanlang, who will bring Yue Niang in."

Li Hui is by no means a young man who doesn't know anything about personnel and affairs. What else does he not understand when he sees this?However, counting the days, it was still a few years before his nephew Li Qiao was born.Is this child also a change in this world?Or, he once thought that his elder brother's blood was too weak, and he only had an only child under his knees, but he didn't know what they had experienced in Chang'an at all?

"Congratulations sister-in-law, let my little nephew learn martial arts with me in the future, maybe I can play with him." This is what the little guy hoped he could do when he talked with Li Qiao in the previous life .Unfortunately, in the end he still disappointed him and left him in the cold world.After saying a lot of congratulatory words, Li Hui still felt a little sad in his heart, so he got up to meet his little cousin.

Princess Changning dressed up very pretty, wearing six gowns of goose yellow Yuezhou satin, embroidered with clusters of smart butterflies and flowers, and her movements were as graceful as flying.A bunch of jade hairpins in the shape of crabapple flowers are wrapped around the double bun, and there are a few apricot flowers on the hairpin, which makes the skin look like it can be broken by blowing bombs, and Yuxue is lovely.She also looked at her cousin carefully, and found that he was wearing a light blue robe with round neck and wide sleeves embroidered with orchid grass pattern, with a jade belt on his waist and a jade pendant. Wan Wan: "Brother's color is too plain."

"Today is left for you little ladies to compete for beauty. I am a gentleman, what do I do with such bright clothes?" Li Hui laughed.Because the inner hall was using the court food, it was inconvenient to receive guests, so he simply took Changning Princess to visit Li Tai.

After resting in bed for many days, his diet remained the same. His Highness Prince Pu's figure seemed to be a little fatter again, his skin was smooth and his complexion was rosy, and he did not look like a patient at all.In fact, apart from drinking medicinal soup on a regular basis every day, asking the imperial doctor to check his pulse from time to time, and then being bedridden, there is nothing unusual about him.

Visiting the third generation father who only met once or twice, Princess Changning is not afraid of strangers at all.She smiled and talked about today's itinerary with him, and she learned the words vividly: "Grandfather said that every year on the Shangsi Festival, he would order people to open the Furong Garden, so that officials, family members and ordinary people can come in and enjoy it. This time since we all If you want to go, half of the garden will be separated, and your family will arrange a feast at will, and it will be quieter and more comfortable."

Furong Garden is the most famous forbidden garden of the royal family.According to legend, it is full of various forests of flowers and trees, and there are canals and lakes dotted like pearls and jade belts. Towers, pavilions and pavilions are dotted with unique scenery all year round.Whenever a flower tree is in full bloom, it is like being immersed in a sea of ​​flowers, with a vigorous vitality that is rarely seen elsewhere.It is located on the bank of Qujiang Pool. It is rumored that one view of Qujiang Pool is overlooking Furong Garden.

In the past, the sage gave this garden to Li Tai, and asked him to hold literary meetings, recite poems and Fu, write and paint in it.As a result, talented scholars from inside and outside Chang'an City came here one after another, gathering and singing there almost every day.Later, he invited some of the most talented among them to participate in the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi", which was so popular that almost everyone in the whole Chang'an city knew about it.

Now it is not what it used to be, the Furong Garden that belonged to him has become the garden of Prince Li Kun.However, Li Kun not only allowed the new Jinshi to enter the Furong Garden for a banquet every year, which spread the good reputation of Jinshi "Furong Banquet", but also opened the garden to everyone regularly, which won many praises.

His Royal Highness Prince Pu looked at his innocent and lovely little niece, and his mood was extremely complicated: "You guys are going to the Lotus Garden..."

Seeing his nostalgic face, Li Hui said, "Grandpa, why don't you go together too? Recently, I always feel that Grandpa is a bit listless. He must have been recuperating at home, but it's too boring. After enjoying the scenery of Furong Garden, maybe Grandpa How about a spring of literary thinking?" Recently, His Royal Highness Pu was busy recuperating from his illness, and he even put down the calligraphy and painting that he had to practice every day. Some can't stand it anymore.

"You're right, I should go outside for a while, otherwise people will think I'm afraid of those assassins!" Li Tai's eyes lit up.

"King Pu fell ill from being frightened by the assassin" has long been spread throughout Chang'an along with the brotherhood of Tian family father and son.Up to now, it is meaningless to go out to clarify.Although Li Hui thought so in his heart, there was still a smile on his face: "That child, let someone prepare one or two. I didn't expect Grandpa to go before, and the carriage, steps, eaves, and food have to be prepared quickly."

"Why do you care about this? Let your mother arrange it." Li Tai tremblingly wanted to sit up, struggled a few times, and almost fell down again.Li Hui hurriedly supported him, exhausted all his strength, until a little sweat oozes from his forehead, and then helped him up.

His Royal Highness Pu took advantage of the opportunity to hold his son in his arms and patted it until he found that the little niece standing beside him seemed dumbfounded, so Lao Huai relievedly let go of the youngest son.

Li Hui slightly adjusted the clothes that had been crumpled by his grandfather, and turned his head with a stiff face.Princess Changning looked at him, then at Li Tai, and finally couldn't help but said: "Brother and Father III are really close."

What's with this envious tone? !If you were an adult man, would you be willing to let your grandpa treat you like this? !Children, wake up!Have you forgotten how you watched the scene where the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren hugged and cried loudly? !

"..." Amidst Li Tai's proud laughter, Li Hui took his little cousin out and said earnestly: "Everyone has different temperaments, and the way of getting close is also different. My grandfather is just like my grandfather." You don’t care about small details, so you don’t care about other people’s eyes, and you can laugh and cry freely. I can also see that your grandfather also loves you very much, but men and women are different, and it’s inconvenient to behave so casually.”

"Brother, don't worry, I understand." Princess Changning said earnestly like a young adult, "Grandfather, needless to say, used to hug me before I was three years old. One or two years ago, Auntie often hugged me too. But now , she thinks that when I get older, I have to abide by all kinds of etiquette, and we are a little stranger to each other. After returning to the palace, I will tell my mother that it’s okay to hug once in a while! Just keep it out of sight!”

Hearing this, Li Hui smiled slightly and patted her little head lightly.

Princess Changning couldn't help but pouted: "Brother, I'm already eight years old, don't treat me like a child!" But, having said that, her eyes were full of unmistakable joy.

After half an hour, the gate of Prince Pu's Mansion burst open.The prince, county king, prince concubine, and the princess' ceremonial guards were all combined, and there were nearly hundreds of people, all the way to the southeast.

Because I came out a bit late, there were not as many pedestrians on the street as I imagined.However, with a little attention, we can see that the places everyone wants to go to are roughly similar, either Qujiang Pond or Bashui, Longshouqu and other places outside Chang'an City.The Shangsi Festival originated from the old custom of 祓禊, which requires people to wash the dirt by the water, so people play along the water one after another.Coincidentally, it is late spring at this time, flowers are blooming everywhere, green shades are everywhere, and the scenery by the water adds to the willows, which makes the people of Datang who always like to play linger and forget to return.

Li Hui rode his horse and walked slowly. Princess Changning was lying by the window, asking him a few words from time to time.If he couldn't answer, she didn't care, she just smiled and said that she would write it down, and let Grandpa and Grandma explain her doubts for her when she went back.

As the elder brother, King Xin'an suddenly felt a little incompetent.Isn't the so-called elder brother the most trustworthy person?He can't even answer these trivial questions, what does he look like?Therefore, he secretly made up his mind that he must study hard and get to know Chang'an, the capital of Kyoto quickly, in case of emergencies.

The royal guard of honor is majestic and majestic, and ordinary people will naturally stay away from it, and the journey is extremely smooth.However, just near Dayefang, a motorcade on the side of the road suddenly sent a young man over to say hello.

After Li Hui rode close to him, the young man dismounted immediately and crossed his hands towards him as a sign of respect: "This is Yan Jiabalang, ordered by his grandmother, to come to greet the two kings and concubines, and princesses."

Yan family?Li Hui raised his eyebrows, without looking back, he knew how ugly his mother's face must be now.

He clearly remembered that the Yan family lived in Lifang in the northeast, and if they wanted to go to Qujiang Pond or Furong Garden, they would never pass through here.Could it be that they couldn't make a visit yesterday, but they actually made a special trip to wait here today?

This kind of perseverance is enough to make people feel a little admirable while feeling uncomfortable.
