Zhong Lishuo, who followed Prince Su He, saw her queen once again. Every day after that, as long as she appeared on the West Palace campus with Prince Su He, she would always see that figure haunting her dreams every night. The days passed so gradually, and the most splendid season of late spring came.
Hundreds of flowers were dazzling, the ying sings were crisp, and the entire palace was overwhelmed by gorgeous flowers. The cherry blossoms in the East Palace have already bloomed at this moment, and those pink petals protruded out of the palace wall, forming an eye-catching flower sea.
Outside the palace wall, there is a more vast pink ocean. Every time this season, young teenagers will join hands to go out on the grassy slope on the bank of the cool water, whispering softly under the sky of cherry blossoms.
After being with Prince Su He for half a month, Zhong Lishuo and Xu Renli ushered in their first break. Xu Renli, who had been invited a long time ago, called friends and friends, and went out to play very briskly this day. For Zhong Lishuo, who happened to be fifteen on this day, she could only eat fast at home, burn incense, and recite sutras.
Zhong Lishuo, who originally wanted to go home and have a look, received a message from his father that he was going to take Mrs. Le Zheng on an outing on this day and let her figure it out for herself. Zhong Lishuo thought for a moment, then decided to stay in the palace where the prince lived to complete the day's schoolwork.
She got up early in the morning to practice martial arts with the prince as usual, and had breakfast with the prince. However, the eldest princess and the waiter had already told her to prepare a vegetarian meal for her on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so she still ate a vegetarian meal today.
After breakfast, Zhong Lishuo returned to his residence, burned incense and copied scriptures. When I stopped writing, it was already the time when the bright spring light enveloped the branches. She put down the pen, stretched her waist, and set her eyes on the lonely cherry tree in the yard.
A unique cherry tree is blooming, and I don't know what the large cherry forest in the East Palace is like.
Thinking so, she stomped out the door and walked towards the backyard of the palace where the flowers were blooming.
The lush greenery spreads across the narrow cobblestone path. Zhong Lishuo looked at the flowers that were so full that their heads were almost bowed down, and walked through the rockery step by step, walking out.
Passing through a rockery, Zhong Lishuo vaguely heard a child's cry. She couldn't help walking closer to the crying, and finally found a piece of clothing behind a tall rockery. Zhong Lishuo paused, recognized who the corner of the shirt belonged to, and called out tentatively, "Prince?"
The sound of the child's sobbing disappeared, the corner of the clothes in Zhong Lishuo's eyes soon disappeared, and the sound of staggering footsteps sounded, Zhong Lishuo took a step forward, and happened to collide with the prince who was running around wiping his tears.
Zhong Lishuo reacted very quickly, reaching out and wrapping the child's swaying shoulders. She lowered her eyes and looked at the young man wearing a jade crown, but her eyes were attracted by the Tao Xun he was holding in his hands.
It was an extremely ordinary looking Tao Xun, with a dark body and no decorative patterns, but was held in his arms by the young prince like a treasure. Zhong Lishuo took a closer look and found that Tao Xun's side bottom had broken a corner. Tao Xun was held in his arms by the prince, and the broken pieces were tightly held by the prince.
Zhong Lishuo looked at Tao Xun and instantly understood why the prince was crying.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the prince Su He, who had his head down and did not dare to look at her, his face was full of tears, and asked warmly, "Is the prince sad because of this Tao Xun?"
Su He nodded, shook his head again, and said dully after a while, "This is what my grandma gave me." Zhong Lishuo asked him in elegant words, and he replied to Zhong Lishuo in elegant words.
The sad look on the young boy's face really made Zhong Lishuo feel distressed. Zhong Lishuo squatted down, set his eyes on Tao Xun, who was hugging Su He tightly, and said warmly, "Your son is very sad, how did it get broken?"
"It's the waiter... I accidentally knocked it down." Su He slapped him, aggrieved face, and almost cried again.
Zhong Lishuo stretched out his hand, wiped his tears, and said warmly, "Did the prince scold them?"
Su He shook his head. He thought that it was just someone else accidentally broke it. It was a bit too much to scold him, but after all, it was something that Grandma left him. It made him very sad when it was broken, so he had to hide here and cry alone. .
He looked at Zhong Lishuo and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Ah Su, I didn't curse or get angry, I was just sad. Don't tell Teacher Lan Dan about this, okay? If he knew I was crying again, he would scold me."
Lan Dan has always been strict with him, and the most unbearable thing is the appearance of a man who is flirting with him in front of him. He was worried that Zhong Lishuo would tell Lan Dan about this, and even called out his brother to please him. Zhong Lishuo was not a brother, but he couldn't explain it to him now, so he had to laugh it off.
She stretched out her hand, stroked Su He's head lightly, and said, "I won't tell Lan Dan, Shizi, don't be sad. It's good to cry when you're sad, but crying too much hurts your body and mind."
Su He nodded and stopped crying. Zhong Lishuo looked at Tao Xun in his arms and said, "Can you let me see what's wrong with your son?"
Su He hesitated for a while and handed Tao Xun over. Zhong Lishuo took a look at it and knew what he knew, so he said to him, "If the prince trusts me, can you fix it with me?"
"Can my brother fix it?" Su He's eyes lit up.
Zhong Lishuo nodded, got up and took the prince's hand, and said, "Yes, please ask the prince to come with me."
She led Su He through the beautiful spring garden and returned to her yard. Zhong Lishuo instructed the waiter to fetch the materials for repairing the pottery, and after mixing the ingredients, he dipped it for Su He little by little.
Su He stood beside her, his eyes unblinking, watching her glue the pieces together, fill in the uneven areas, and finally tie the straw rope, and after a while, dry it on the stove.
"It's repaired!" Su He looked at the repaired damage and exclaimed in amazement, "Brother is amazing!"
Seeing his excited appearance, Zhong Lishuo said, "It's almost there, Shizi wait a moment."
As she spoke, she brought the black paint, and slowly marked the damaged areas, filling in the traces one by one. After the two of them had done all this, the excited Su He wanted to reach for it. However, Zhong Lishuo shook his head, picked up Tao Xun, put it on the desk, and said to the prince, "It will take some time for the lacquer ink to dry in the shade, and the prince will be able to pick it up in a while."
"Okay, Tao Xun has also been repaired, the prince should not cry any more." Zhong Lishuo lowered his eyes, looked at the child's tender face, and thought, no matter how hard you cry, it won't help. Because the dead can never come back.
Su He nodded and said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you."
Zhong Lishuo glanced at him and set his eyes on the splendid garden. He turned his head and said to the prince, "Today the prince has encountered an unhappy thing. Why don't you enjoy the scenery with me later, how about a better mood?"
"Brother want to take me out to play?" Su He's eyes lit up and asked expectantly.
Zhong Lishuo nodded and said, "Yeah. You don't need to call me brother, just call me Asu. I'm the son's companion. If you call me like that, Teacher Lan Dan will scold me."
Su He nodded, he liked Zhong Lishuo the most on weekdays, but because Tao Xun felt a little closer to her, he thought about Zhong Lishuo as his own little prince, and said, "You are right, you They are my partners and can call each other by name. I won't call you brother, can you call me Su He?"
Zhong Lishuo bowed his head and replied, "Okay, it's only time for you and me."
"Yeah." Su He agreed to the agreement, and said to Zhong Lishuo, "Where will Ah Su take me to play?"
"It's in the palace." Zhong Lishuo's eyes fell on the East Palace not far away, thinking that if he brought Prince Su He, he would definitely be able to enter the backyard of the ownerless East Palace to enjoy the extremely beautiful cherry blossoms.
"However, we can't go until the prince has eaten lunch." Zhong Lishuo said, after having lunch together, the two sneaked away the guards and came to the East Palace.
The East Palace, which has no owner, is still so beautiful under the care of the palace staff. Su He took the token and got Tongtong. In fact, the ownerless East Palace at this time has become a place for many people in the palace to enjoy cherry blossoms.
Zhong Lishuo, who got the chance, once again saw the most beautiful cherry blossoms in his memory.
This afternoon, Zhong Lishuo took Su He's hand and strolled under the cherry tree, telling him a little story about Taiyimen. In the Zhaohui Hall not far from the East Palace, Xuan Jingchen, who had dealt with government affairs, turned his attention to the faintly visible pink ocean after having lunch.
"Are the cherry blossoms in the East Palace blooming so lushly?" Xuan Jingchen said casually, and fell into the ears of the waiter An who was waiting beside him.
Attendant An bowed his head, replied yes, and said, "As early as yesterday, the cherry blossoms in the East Palace were blooming very well. Recently, many palace people have gone to the backyard of the East Palace to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Your Majesty, the government has been so busy these days. If you go to the East Palace for a walk, how about a cherry blossom viewing activity?"
Magistrate An knew that every year when the cherry blossoms in the East Palace were in full bloom, His Majesty would visit the East Palace. Haven't been there yet this year, and it's almost time.
Xuan Jingchen thought about it for a while and agreed with the proposal of Attendant An. She put down the red pen, put political affairs aside, and said, "Let's go then."
Xuan Jingchen got up and took the Servant An to the blossoming cherry forest.
The cherry blossoms in the East Palace are in full bloom, and each one is in full swing. Xuan Jingchen took Officer An and walked through the colorful cherry blossom forest, and walked towards the largest cherry tree in the cherry blossom forest.
The flowers were fascinated, and as the distance got closer, the voice of the young man's conversation entered his ears. Xuan Jingchen walked through the layers of cherry blossoms, and two people, one big and one small, entered his eyes.
The young man in a green shirt sat on the mixed-color blanket on the ground, looking intently at the young boy kneeling in front of her, speaking slowly.
Above their heads, a tall cherry tree covered the sky and the sun, with branches hanging down, blooming like a waterfall of cherry blossoms.
These cherry blossoms, which represent the enthusiasm and nobleness, have all become the foil for the young people under the tree at this moment. The young man wearing a green shirt and wearing a bun, his thin and tall body caught all the eyes of Xuan Jingchen.
The chaotic cherry blossoms were flying, and in the sea of cherry blossoms, Xuan Jingchen seemed to fall into a dream.
