Mount Putuo looks like a flower, mainly because there is a somewhat concave basin in the middle of the top of the mountain, just like the center of a mandala flower.
The world is full of beauty in April, but the top of the mountain still looks like an early spring scene.
New greenery is blooming, butterflies are dancing on flower tips, and birds are singing gracefully, creating a meandering scenery.
The most eye-catching thing is the courtyard with white walls and golden doors among the lush green bamboos. Although it is not big, it is very unique, with cloud-phoenix pillars, flowing cornices, and a winding verandah below.
However, guards in yellow robes with knives can be seen everywhere on the verandah, which seems a bit incompatible with this tranquility.
Under a pear tree in the courtyard, a man and woman in brocade clothes were sitting at a small stone table, leisurely sipping fragrant tea.
The man's face is like a crown jade, warm and moist moonlight, and his carved facial features are calm and majestic. The woman's eyes are like the moon, her lips are like cherry blossoms, her long eyebrows are like willows, and her black hair is like a waterfall.
What a beautiful couple!
"My beloved, are you happy here?" The man placed the tea cup on the stone table and gently held the woman's hand. His black eyes were bright and extremely gentle.
"As long as there is an emperor, all my concubines are happy!" The woman blushed, her eyes flashed, and the shy smile with her head lowered made all things in the world lose their color.
"Haha~" the man smiled happily, and gently kissed the woman's soft and boneless hand, "My beloved concubine really knows how to make me happy!"
At this time, a guard walked in quickly and was about to salute. The man waved his sleeves and said, "This is not a palace, so there is no need to be formal!"
"Yes!" The guard bowed, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince wants to see you!"
"Oh?" Leng Qiyi was startled, then smiled lightly, "Is the fourth brother alone?"
"No, it's two people!"
Two people? Leng Qiyi's eyes narrowed and he was about to speak when he heard the guard continue to say, "It is the fourth prince and the guard who have been here these two days who lead Ye Feng."
"Oh!" Leng Qiyi's eyes darkened again, and he waved his hand towards the guard, "Explain it!"
*******************************
Leng Qisu walked into the courtyard and saw Leng Qiyi hugging a stunning woman, Lang Qingconcubine, from a distance.
The woman's skin was as good as snow and her features were as beautiful as picturesque. She was the newly appointed Concubine Li and the daughter of Prime Minister Fan. However, although her face was frail and I felt pity for her, there was no trace of illness at all.
Leng Qisu's eyes flashed slightly and he saluted the two of them. Leng Qiyi waved to him and pointed to the stone bench beside him, "Fourth brother, come and try the Yuqian Longjing treasured by Divine Doctor Yun."
As he spoke, he ordered the attendant beside him, "Give Fourth Brother a tea cup."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Leng Qisu pursed his lips, walked over, lifted the corner of his robe, and sat down.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he knew that in a war without smoke, whoever loses his composure would lose first.
Whether it's acting or playing tricks, he's happy to accompany you.
"I heard from Commander Ye in Fourth Brother's Mansion that Fourth Brother came here with his Fourth Sister-in-law to seek medical treatment. Why can't he see Fourth Sister-in-law?" Leng Qiyi smiled warmly, like a warm spring breeze, while speaking, he pointed at the quilt. The attendant had already filled the cup with tea and made a gesture of invitation.
Leng Qisu nodded, picked up the tea cup, twisted the lid with one hand, flicked the tea surface back and forth twice, took a small sip, put it down, and then looked at him with a smile, "In response to the emperor's words, Zhuang'er's body She felt unwell and it was not suitable to run up and down the mountain, so my brother let her rest at the foot of the mountain while he went there by himself."
"Oh! That's true, fourth brother still feels sorry for people!"
"Why not, Your Majesty?"
Leng Qisu smiled brightly and cast a deep look at the woman beside Leng Qiyi with his black eyes. "As a noble emperor, why don't you go to great lengths to travel across mountains and rivers to seek medical treatment for your loved one?"
Hearing this, Leng Qiyi laughed loudly, and Bai Bi's big hands hugged the woman in his arms tighter, "Yes, what the fourth brother said is true. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty! I am the fourth brother. Too!"
Leng Qisu also smiled along with him but said nothing.
"But, has Fourth Brother ever heard of, 'Tender Hometown, Tomb of Heroes'? Fourth Brother is not afraid that his life will be ruined by a woman?" Leng Qiyi suddenly changed the subject, looked at his face with a smile, and looked at him with eyes. The color is deep.
Leng Qisu was startled for a moment, and then he smiled lightly, "A mistake is not a mistake, my brother's life is just like this. I don't have any big ambitions. Being able to enjoy the scenery with the woman I love is just that. A kind of happiness. But the Emperor, who is burdened with huge responsibilities and cares about the people, cannot indulge in it!"
"Haha" Leng Qiyi laughed loudly again, seeming to be very happy, "What? Fourth brother, are you admonishing me? Or are you scolding me?"
"I don't dare for my brother's sake!" Leng Qisu humbly lowered his head and clasped his fists.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!" Leng Qiyi smiled, not angry, slowly suppressed his smile, and said seriously, "Didn't the fourth brother come to find medicine for the fourth sister-in-law? But that miracle doctor is very strange. He said that he must see his fourth sister-in-law before he can prepare the medicine! It’s useless for me to say anything, and I can’t use my status as the emperor to pressure him. After all, what he said makes sense. How can anyone prepare the medicine without taking his pulse? What if the medicine is wrong? What should I do? Fourth brother said, right?"
The corners of Leng Qisu's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of coldness, so she understood the meaning of his words.
He pursed his lips and was about to say something when he saw a guard running in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, when my subordinates were looking for the mountain, they saw a woman sneaking around and acting very suspiciously. I asked her what she was doing. Since I couldn’t find out, my subordinates were afraid that she had bad intentions towards the emperor, so they captured her and waited for the emperor to punish her!”
