Shen Gong Ji

Chapter 40

I felt that the ambiguous atmosphere was a little dangerous, so I wanted to avoid his contact, but before I could do anything, he got up suddenly, turned around as if nothing happened just now, and brushed my lock of hair Put it in his arms, "Go back first, it will be the Weiwei Festival in a few days. As usual, Huang Yafu will go to the Dahuang Temple to pay homage to the late emperor. Afterwards, he will go to the Yanyu Pavilion near the temple for lunch. Then you and I'll just serve him tea."

I quickly thanked him, but he turned his face and smiled slightly, "Don't thank me too early. I will only help you here. Whether you can make Huang Yafu like it depends on your own ability."

"I won't let you down," I said to him, and to myself.

Never fail again this time!

The Weiwei Picking Festival is a big or small festival.Every April is the season when weeds are ripe. On the fourth day of April, neighbors will give each other the weeds they have picked. Those who receive the gifts will get good luck for a year.This custom evolved later, and gifts are no longer limited to Wei Cai, but can be extended to anything.The recipients of gifts are not necessarily neighbors, anyone who is important to him can receive gifts.

There will be no special banquets in the palace on this day, but the guests and hosts will set up banquets in the Zihuan Garden by themselves, and everyone will play with each other and give gifts to each other.It is said that Huang Yafu and the first emperor made love on the day of the Weiwei Festival, so even after the death of the first emperor, every day he would go to the Dahuang Temple to see his tablet, pray for him, and add incense offerings .According to what Uncle Jin said, the former emperor once betrayed him, which caused him to suffer a lot of loneliness, but now he still can't forget the little emperor's father, and he can't see that this emperor's father is so cold, severe, and even a little cruel. It is a seed of infatuation.

Until now, he is still guarding this country for the little emperor and his father, isn't he?Although somewhat arbitrary.

And that Fengyu Pavilion is the most luxurious and prosperous restaurant in the imperial city.Half of this prosperity is due to Huang Yafu.It is said that before the first emperor became the prince, Huang Yafu liked to drink here with him the most.So every time after worshiping, Huang Yafu always revisited his old place, probably because he wanted to get back the feeling of the past?

When he dined in Yanyu Building, he often did not stay with the palace servants, only the noble young master dined with him, and at the same time was responsible for pouring tea and wine for him.This time he wants to give me this task, I have to say that he gave me an excellent opportunity.If I fail again this time, it will be too unreasonable.

On the day of the Weiwei Picking Festival, I put on a gorgeous emerald gauze shirt with a lotus pattern embroidered with silver thread.The chopped-cropped hair was hidden in a bun and a gorgeous emerald headpiece adorned it.Uncle Jin said that Huang Yafu doesn't like people who dress too plainly, because it reminds him of Du Qian.

In the early morning, I took Du Ruo and Qian Yi out, first went to Dayu Palace to meet the noble young master, and then sat on the same carriage with him.It was a large carriage with gorgeous dragon patterns, it could accommodate ten people inside, and it was pulled by four horses in front.But there are only me and your son in the spacious carriage.He sat in the innermost seat and I sat on the side.The cushion under the buttocks is filled with soft duck down, which will not feel uncomfortable even if it is bumped.

Ouyang Qi is wearing an ermine-painted gold peony shirt today. The heavy clothes conceal his figure, but from the appearance of him seen in Yaowu Field, he actually has some muscles. Although he looks thin and tall, he is full of energy force.After he sat down, he looked me over carefully from top to bottom, and nodded slightly, "It looks very attractive."

Alluring? ?What the hell is this to describe...

The frame swayed and drove out of Zihuan Garden, and drove towards Jiuluanmen along the long palace road.That was the main entrance of the Palace of Majesty. I only had a glimpse of it when I entered the palace, but I was never qualified to pass there.

At the end of the palace road is a tall gatehouse, paved with golden glazed tiles, with three layers of cornices stacked on top of each other, and a white marble flying phoenix picture embossed on the vermilion wall.Walking through this door, the eyes suddenly opened up.The square, which can be described as vast, is spread out, and the white marble floor is as flat as a piece of white silk covering the earth, bending with the arc of the sky.The vermilion palace wall in the distance forms a thick line, and there are continuous pavilions behind it, like a forest composed of pagodas. The golden spire on the spire and the auspicious beast squatting at the foot of the palace tower are silent, bathing in a demure manner With the brilliant light of dawn.

To the north is the Guiyuan Hall, where the little emperor goes to court every day. It stands high above hundreds of white jade stairs, and a relief phoenix path spreads all the way to the main entrance of the hall along with the trend of the stairs.There are many guardrails on both sides, guarding the solemn guards.The main hall has three floors. The three-story glazed golden roof seems to be paved with gold. A long row of huge red lacquer pillars bears the weight of the eaves. All the dignified palace gates are tightly closed. Officials have already arrived one after another.

There is a Wing Palace on each side of Guiyuan Hall, which is also high above the white jade platform, like wings extending from the main hall, flying resolutely into the blue sky.Every time they went to court, the officials walked along the long road beside the Wing Palace to the Guiyuan Hall in the center. Under the domineering momentum of the palace, they were as small as two teams of ants moving slowly.

I lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the center of Yan State's power.Behind this palace is the palace where the little emperor handles the dignitaries, and behind it is the Weiyang Palace, the little emperor's bedroom.

Is he sleeping now?Still got up?

Looking at the unsettlingly vast grounds all around, as well as the extremely distant and huge Guiyuan Hall, I felt that no matter how I walked, I was so far away from the people behind this palace.

Huang Yafu's frame also arrived. It is said that in order to come back on time, the step of getting out of the car was omitted. The two mighty motorcades were directly merged together. Huang Yafu's motorcade was in front and Ouyang Qi's was behind. , heading for the main gate of Jiuluanmen.

I kept the curtain of the car lifted and watched the car slowly passing through the long doorway. The different breath of the outside world has come to my face. It seems to be a taste of freedom rising slowly under the sun. The smell is so special. Made my whole body tremble.

This is the first time I have walked out of the Majestic Palace after entering Yongxiang through the side door.

It has been a year, and I have been living in the huge palace gate behind me, struggling, trying to climb up, but falling harder and harder every time.I almost forgot that there is a boundless world outside this palace gate.

I looked outside almost greedily, and the acacia trees on both sides of the road had blossomed again, unchanged from a year ago.The light pink fluff is decorated among the leaves and stretched towards my cheeks. I reached out and picked one, and sniffed it in my nose.The light fragrance is different from the strong one in the palace, with a simple and lively atmosphere.

"Is it the first time to leave the palace?" Ouyang Qi asked suddenly.When I turned around, he was smiling at me, a gentle smile.

Well, my stupid face that has never seen the world is seen again...

I always seem to lose face in front of him...

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be a year so soon..."

"It's only been a year." He leaned on the pillow beside him, resting his chin with his hands, his expression was a little lazy and lonely, "the days are still long."

I looked at him, and suddenly felt that a person like him locked in a deep palace, isn't he also a bird in a cage?

His swordsmanship is superb, his aura is dignified and intimidating, if he was in the outside world, he might have broken out of his own world, right?

I suddenly remembered what Duan Xihe had said to me.If I want, he can help me out of the palace.

I rejected him at that time, but now, I suddenly began to doubt the correctness of my decision.

If there is no chance to go back, do I really want to stay in this deep palace for the rest of my life?Am I really going to intrigue with those trapped soulless people to fight for the "favor" of the little emperor?

However, I was really unwilling in my heart.I can't just forget everything and act like nothing happened.

Too many things have happened this year, I have never been an indifferent person, I can't just let go...

I don't want to just run away...running away means that I have surrendered.

what should I do?

The Dahuang Temple is located in the sixth palace wall of Lujing. It is a beautiful temple with a clean body and a white-haired statue of the Dahuang God.The spiritual tablets and portraits of Emperor Yan of all dynasties are enshrined in the shrine. I am not qualified to enter there, so I have to wait in the car.After waiting for about three or four hours, Huang Yafu and Noble Young Master walked out slowly, Ouyang Qi got into the carriage, and the carriage and horses started moving again.The Yanyu Building is inside the fifth palace wall, which already belongs to the market area, where all the famous shops are gathered, besides the bustling market, there are also rich people's houses.

Today, because Huang Yafu is going to go out in the morning, the streets are under martial law, and there is no one there.But the numerous pavilions are still telling the daily bustle and bustle.I had no choice but to face the empty street, imagining the scene of people coming and going.

The Yanyu Tower is a very tall building, with seven floors. When you go up to the highest floor, you can even look over the city wall to the Banyue River winding outside Lujing City.That wide and gentle water surface is like a long silver-white satin, meandering from the end of the rice paddies, flowing to the boundless sky.It is said that when the first emperor was still the third prince, he and his father sat on the window seat, facing the boats coming and going on the vast river, and the sunset was settling in the distance of the water, so peaceful and quiet that one could hear The slow sound of the sun rising and the moon setting.

All the staff in the restaurant greeted and waited carefully, and welcomed Huang Yafu to the highest floor.He still had to sit in the seat where he and the first emperor used to sit, I don't know if it was to recapture the time that had passed.

I was led into a tea room to prepare tea for Huang Yafu.At this time, Xieci came over and told me that Huang Yafu had already taken the seat, and everyone had already stepped down, so I can go in.

Holding two celadon teacups and a pot of freshly brewed tea, my palms were slightly sweaty.Walking up the wooden stairs to the top floor, I found that there was no one on the top floor, only Ouyang Qi and Huang Yafu were sitting in front of an ordinary wooden table facing the window.

Huang Yafu was wearing a black robe today, but his usually majestic face was somewhat tired.But with such a lack of hostility, he vaguely has the gorgeous charm described by Uncle Jin. If you look closely, his outline, eyebrows and eyes are indeed very handsome.

I was still very nervous, but your young master had noticed me and gave me a wink.

I walked carefully with my tea in my hand.When he was about five steps away from the table, he stopped, raised the case to his forehead, and said respectfully, "Your servant sees Huang Yafu. All blessings, Huang Yafu."

Ouyang Zhaoyue's slightly closed eyes opened, and once again shot out a piercing majesty, and pressed his head towards me, "Who is this?"

Your son replied, "His name is Yang Juntian, and he is a talented person. I think he is a smart person, so I brought him out."

"Yang Juntian? Is it the one who painted at the Grand Picture Banquet, and later entered the Zihuan Garden?"

"It was him."

"Yeah." Huang Yafu hummed briefly, but couldn't tell what mood he was in.I took this opportunity to go forward, filled the two teacups with tea respectively, and presented them first to Huang Yafu, and then to your noble son.

Huang Yafu took a sip of tea, but suddenly opened his eyes, his face showed surprise for a while.

"This……"

As soon as my heart tightened, I felt that gaze pressing on me again, and I couldn't move, "Who made this tea?!"

This question is so harsh.I panicked, and quickly knelt down, "I made it up to you. You deserve to die!"

Your son also looked at Huang Yafu in surprise, a little confused.

I couldn't hear the following for a long time, so I looked up anxiously.

Ouyang Zhaoyue stared blankly at the teacup in front of him for a while, his originally clear eyes showed a bit of confusion, as if through the light green tea, stretching to the depths of memory, "You...why do you want to be in the tea cup? Put acacia flowers in it?"

When I heard this question, I knew I was doing the right thing.

I heard from Uncle Jin before that the first emperor had just met Huang Yafu, and the two had gone to enjoy flowers together.The first emperor picked several Albizia juliensis from the tree and put them in the bag.Later, when the two went to drink tea, the first emperor sprinkled the flowers in the teapot and brewed them together with the tea leaves.At that time, Huang Yafu laughed at him for throwing things into the tea.The first emperor said that although Albizia juliensis is bright in color, its taste is sweet and elegant.Use it to make tea, and the refreshing fragrance can blend with the tea fragrance, making people forget all their troubles after a sip.After Huang Yafu took a sip, he really liked it very much.

From then on, every time the two went to drink tea together, the first emperor would always pick a few Albizia juliensis flowers and put them in his sleeves.

That's why I picked those Albizia juliensis flowers when I left the palace.Sure enough, Huang Yafu couldn't forget this taste.

With the bottom line in my heart, I was not so nervous. I replied, "The fragrance of Albizia julibrissin is light and elegant. Mixing it with the fragrance of tea has the effect of forgetting worries and relieving fatigue. Seeing that Huang Yafu works day and night, Then I thought about this idea. If Huang Yafu doesn't like it, I will go to soak again. I also ask Huang Yafu to forgive me."
