In the afternoon, the sun penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground. Although the weather was cool after the rain, the sun was still strong, and the ground dried up in a short time.
Ye Zhen left the palace in such an afternoon, and Mo Rongzhan hugged her halfway in his arms, bowing his head and kissing her cheek from time to time.
"Hot!" Ye Zhen's back was sweating, and she pushed Mo Rongzhan away in disgust, "Aren't I going somewhere, don't I see you in the future? There's no need to be so lingering, if you really don't want me to go to Chengde Villa, then Let's go back to the palace."
She was really angry. Now that he had made up his mind to keep her out of the turmoil of the capital, he let her go to Chengde Mountain Villa decisively, do what he wanted to do, and then pick her up again. Does it make her feel good to be so reluctant
If it wasn't for the sake of his amnesia, she would have turned against him long ago, okay
Murong Zhan let go of her, and looked down at her helplessly, "Yaoyao, I can't bear to part with you."
Ye Zhen took the fan and shook it gently, "I know, you sent me to Chengde Villa to protect me."
"I know what you think. You think you can protect yourself and face those difficulties and dangers with me. I just don't dare to take risks..." Mo Rongzhan pressed her earlobe lightly, in case there was a second Qi What about Ruoshui
"Then I'll wait for you at Chengde Villa." Ye Zhen put her arms around his neck, "Wait until you give me a clean and safe world."
A smile floated in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, and he kissed her pink lips without saying a word.
The carriage left the capital unhurriedly, Ye Zhen fell asleep in Murong Zhan's arms, and when she woke up, she was almost at Chengde Villa.
The golden sky is falling in the west, the setting sun is shining on the entire mountain peak, and the Xieshan-style villa is already looming, Ye Zhen raised the curtains, and she said with emotion, "I used to come here when I was young, and my brother..."
Murong Zhan followed her gaze to the plain in the distance, "Come ride with your father?"
Ye Zhen looked back at him with a smile, "How do you know?"
"This is the most suitable place for riding horses. I should have come here often." This place gave him a familiar feeling.
"That's the old Zhuangzi of our Ye family. There are hot springs in the Zhuangzi. My grandmother likes to bring us here, saying that soaking in the hot springs can make people's skin fairer. I also have my own small yard, and there is a hot spring pool in the back. ..." Ye Zhen recalled the past days, feeling warm and missing in her heart.
Mo Rongzhan's rough fingertips lightly brushed the back of her neck, "So fair and smooth... Is it all because of frequent soaking in hot springs?"
Ye Zhen shuddered, and turned to stare at him, "I'm telling you the truth."
"Are I doing something unscrupulous?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile.
"That's my favorite Zhuangzi, but you gave it to Lu Lingzhi." Ye Zhen snorted displeasedly, even though Zhuangzi has taken it back and given it back to her, she still feels very upset.
Mo Rongzhan coughed lightly, put his arm around her shoulder and said, "I will build you a bigger villa."
The corners of Ye Zhen's mouth turned up, but she hummed, "Who cares?"
"I will come to accompany you often." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
"Do you know where I saw you for the first time after I became Lu Yaoyao?" Getting closer to Chengde Villa, Ye Zhen also remembered the past.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and said, "Here?"
Ye Zhen pointed to Zhuangzi at the bottom of the mountain on the other side, "I met you in the hot spring pool, and I really wanted to kick you to death."
"I saw you in the hot spring pool at that time?" Murong Zhan raised his eyebrows, "To be kicked by you must be fascinated..."
"The second time I saw you outside the gate of Chengde Mountain Villa, you looked at me like you were going to kill me." Ye Zhen smiled, "I should have thought about how to stay away from you, not revenge of."
Mo Rongzhan smiled lowly, and kissed her for a long time, "Fortunately, I didn't let you go."
Ye Zhen sighed, the relationship between her and him was probably destined, "Don't worry, I will stay in Chengde Villa well and won't worry you."
"Okay." Mo Rongzhan's deep, dark eyes were stained with a smile.
"It's here." Ye Zhen said, they have arrived at Chengde Mountain Villa, Murong Zhan can't let people know that he sent her off personally, so he must go back before tomorrow morning.
Murong Zhan rubbed her palms, and let the carriage continue to walk into the villa. It didn't stop until it reached the backyard. Murong Zhan got out of the carriage with Ye Zhen in his arms, and there was already a green-glazed soft sedan waiting beside him.
"You go to the house to rest first, I will look for you in a while." Murong Zhan whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "Aren't you going back to the palace? Aren't you afraid that people will know you're here?"
Murong Zhan kissed her on the cheek, "This is all my people, no one in Kyoto will know that I have been here."
"What are you going to do?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I have something to tell you." Mo Rongzhan said softly, and asked the palace servants to send Ye Zhen to the east first.
Chengde Mountain Villa occupies a very large area. Every year during the autumn hunting, the emperor will bring people to live here for more than a month. There are two gardens, the front and the back, and each garden has a different style of yard. Ye Zhen's yard is located in West Garden is also where the spring is located.
It's not the first time for Ye Zhen to come to Chengde Mountain Villa, but she hasn't traveled all over here before. She sat on the soft sedan and looked at the surrounding scenery. This time, she can finally take a leisurely stroll around this big mountain villa.
"Is the scenery over there in the East Garden the same as this side?" Ye Zhen asked a maid who had been walking beside her.
"Master Hui, there are more courtyards in the East Garden than in the West Garden, where the concubines used to live." The maid replied in a low voice, although the words were tactful, but the meaning was still expressed.
Every year when the emperor comes to the autumn hunt, he will definitely bring many concubines to serve him. These people will all live in the East Garden. Even if the emperor does not bring concubines, the people in the villa will definitely arrange women to wait for the emperor in the East Garden. favorite.
Ye Zhen just smiled lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
"This is..." Ye Zhen asked suspiciously about this place called Daohuayuan. This didn't seem to be the courtyard where she lived before. She used to live next to the Empress Dowager's Chunyuan. It seemed that she had never heard of a place called Daohuayuan.
"Your Majesty, the emperor ordered to open up the two courtyards in autumn and winter, and expand the original Daohua Courtyard. I hope your empress can live comfortably here." The maid continued to reply.
Ye Zhen glanced at her sideways, "Does the emperor want you to stay by my side to serve?"
In addition to Hongling and Hongying, there were two more face-to-face maids behind her, Ye Zhen remembered what Mo Rongzhan had said, this must be his arrangement.
"Go back to your empress, this servant is called Dong He, the emperor asked this servant to serve you well."
"My servant's name is Xia He..." Another court lady followed suit.
They were indeed sent by the emperor to the empress's side to protect the empress with their lives.
