Princess's Mansion·Small Building
"Little Princess, it's late, you can get up."
A maid knocked on the door. Listening to the sound, the little princess woke up with a lazy face. As soon as she woke up, she straightened up and said: "Come in."
The maid went in, dressed and washed her face. After fussing for a while, she brought in a cup of bird's nest for the little princess as a snack. According to the imperial doctor's instructions, she will take a nap at noon and eat a little.
The lazy little princess took a spoon and drank. The sky was a bit cloudy in the afternoon, and occasionally the sun shined through the clouds. The maid looked at her expression and said, "Princess, you have been feeling much better recently."
"Yes." The little princess sat blankly and looked out the window.
"Princess, what are you looking at?" The maid asked when she saw the little princess staring blankly at the door.
"I don't know where Brother Pei is now?" The little princess murmured unconsciously. After hearing this, the maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Princess Princess, Pei Zhenjun's martial arts and Taoism are extraordinary. Why are you worried about Zhenjun? As long as your body can support you, Okay, just wait for True Lord to come back."
"Yes." The little princess listened and responded softly. Suddenly, there was a whistle. The tune was gentle, affectionate and sad, and went straight into the heart. Just listening, the little princess closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes. At that moment, he showed a happy expression: "It's Brother Pei, he's back."
The little princess stood up, walked to the desk, put her hand on the piano, and started playing for a while, echoing the sound of the flute.
The maiden listened blankly to the music of the piano and the flurry, and was mesmerized for a moment. After the music was played, the little princess stood up, picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out.
The verandah is winding, and the winding path leads to a quiet place. In front of you is a bluestone path with lush pines and cypresses. If it is summer, it can block out the sun. The path in front turns around, turns to the cobblestone path, and enters the flower hall.
There was a human voice in the flower hall, but someone was talking. It was Pei Ziyun: "I don't want to take the beauty hidden in the golden house. It is a bit ominous, but it is still okay to raise it in the garden."
Just listen to the eldest princess smiling: "How many beauties do you want to hide in such a big garden? For example, Lin Xuyu, a famous concubine in the capital recently, is intelligent by nature, good at reading, and can comment on poetry. She has always been in love with you. Maybe you can See."
The little princess slowed down her pace and listened attentively, but she heard Pei Ziyun say: "Out of man's nature, when seeing the beauty of Minghui, he feels a sense of loss and is reluctant to let go."
"But I'm only one person, how can I tell how much affection I have?"
"I already have Ye Su'er and Qi Qianye. Now that I think about it, I feel that it is difficult to repay the kindness of the beauty. If we divide them further, how will we be different from passers-by?"
"Although there is a pearl, why meet it too late? It is better not to see it."
After hearing this, the eldest princess paused obviously and said: "The Xiao Le you just made seems to have this kind of intention. What name did you give it?"
The little princess went over and saw the eldest princess's forehead dotted with cinnabar and her pair of red and phoenix eyes, which were thoughtful. She then listened to Pei Ziyun's reply: "The title of this song is Love is Not Tired, or Love Is Hard to Leave."
After hearing this, the little princess staggered, and before she knew it, her eyes were red. She immediately alerted the people inside who were looking at the scroll. They looked over, and the little princess quickly saluted: "I have seen my mother."
Wiping the corners of his eyes again, he stepped forward and looked at the picture carefully: "This painting is really good. Who painted it? It's just... not like the human world..."
The little princess was just trying to hide it at first, so she went to see the painting. When she saw it, she couldn't help but be surprised. The scroll depicts a garden, and its elegance is so elegance that it makes people moved - it's like the legendary Peach Blossom Land, which can only be seen in a dream. gorgeous chapter.
"This is divided into East Garden and West Garden."
"You are surrounded by mountains and rivers without leaving the city, but you can enjoy the forests and springs in the busy city." Pei Ziyun smiled lightly.
The little princess is a noble daughter, so she naturally has a lot of influence. If you look carefully, you can see rockeries, trees, pavilions, ponds and bridges, condensed into the natural world, harmoniously kneaded together, making every mountain, water, grass and tree in the garden All can produce profound artistic conception.
Watching the little princess looking at the paintings, the eldest princess did not interrupt, but said: "Uncle Zhongqin is dead, what do you think?"
Pei Ziyun said calmly: "To me, it is good that he is dead."
"Your attitude has caused many people to think that you are suspicious, and they are writing to ask for a closer investigation. I'm afraid this is not good for you."
"But the prince still made the distinction for you." The eldest princess stared at Pei Ziyun and said. Pei Ziyun's heart moved and he nodded slightly: "I am a Taoist and have no intention of courting. So what if I am slandered? But the prince has always defended me, and I am very grateful. All."
The little princess came over after reading it: "Mom, look, there are poems on it."
"You are good at calligraphy and he is good at poetry. You two are a perfect match for each other. That's it." The eldest princess put her finger on the little princess's forehead. The little princess raised her head and said, "Of course."
At this moment, someone reported: "The prince has arrived!"
When he was startled, he saw that the prince had come in. Seeing that Pei Ziyun was about to fall down and bow, the prince took a step forward and hurriedly supported him with both hands, saying: "True King, please rise!"
Then he looked at Pei Ziyun and said, "I heard that King Lu led an army of ten thousand people to encircle and suppress him. I am really worried about him. He looks good now, but he is a little thinner!"
With that said, he pulled Pei Ziyun inside: "What poems were you talking about just now?"
"Brother Prince, you are talking about my garden!" the little princess said quickly, leading the prince to look at him. The prince had thick eyebrows and dark circles under his eyes. He looked a little tired, but his expression was better than before. Pei Ziyun looked at it silently, thinking in his heart Thinking: "The green energy is complete, the purple energy is already there, the prince's actual authority has been expanded several times."
The prince looked at the scroll and said silently: "
On the leap day of the new autumn, the magpie bridge is once again on the road, and the world begs for cleverness twice. The railing is turned diagonally and the jade rope is lowered. I ask begging, how many secrets are there
Female companions in the boudoir, beautiful gatherings on the horizon, praying for many things. It is said that gods are nothing, even if they exist, they should also grow old. "
After reading it, the prince laughed and pointed at Pei Ziyun: "This is a wonderful word, but you are a Taoist and you dare to say that the theory of gods is nothing. You should fight it."
After laughing, he looked at the picture scroll and frowned again. After a long time, he looked at Pei Ziyun with an inexplicable expression: "Looking at these two gardens alone, they are both unprecedented and wonderful, but they are different. How different they are. But I can’t tell, could you tell me a little bit about it?”
"The art of gardening is originally a small way, but since the prince asked, I will give you a brief explanation."
"The core of the so-called gardens is to show their beauty through mountains and rivers. Being in them allows people to enjoy the artistic conception and cultivate their temperament. Each one is different according to different needs."
"Prince, you also know that there are many beautiful places in the world, but it is not easy to see them." Pei Ziyun leaned forward and said calmly: "So the garden is to collect the natural yin and yang of creation and combine them into one furnace."
"The whole garden is a small world."
"The key is that the layout is not cumbersome and there is no extra foot."
“The single scene is beautiful, dangerous, and strange, and it is integrated with the architectural layout. Each scene changes with each step, and the transition is not stiff, so that noble people can receive the spirit of nature without leaving the courtyard.”
"I observe the way of gardens in the world, and those who can reach perfection can only come from this place."
"This is indeed a thorough investigation. What about the West Garden?" The prince paused and then said, "There seems to be a difference."
"As I said just now, both gardens are in this realm, but the realm of the East Garden emphasizes the creation of nature. Although it was created by humans, it is like the creation of heaven."
"And the West Garden is the quintessence of humanistic artistic conception. Although it also uses mountains and rivers to create forests, the main theme is not nature, but the beauty of human artistic conception."
"People have feelings of joy and sorrow, detachment, contemplation, and mystery, and gardens use themes to make people feel infected and understand their moods as soon as they enter."
"Of course the two are not completely separate, but they are inextricably intertwined (not my typo). They are both, but each has its own emphasis."
"What you said can be described as one garden, one earth, one water, one state of mind." The prince's expression was complicated, as if he was missing something: "I didn't expect that besides poetry, literature, and paintings, you are also excellent. This garden design is even more wonderful. How many talents do you have?" Not shown?"
"Taoists value carefree mountains and forests, and they have something in common with this garden. I have a small opinion, just to relieve the prince's fatigue - Your Majesty, please!"
After they were seated in the palace, tea was served. The prince took a sip, looked at Pei Ziyun and said, "You have been traveling for business and have received good news one after another. It has been really hard on you these days."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun leaned forward and said: "Your Highness, this is what I should do."
"Okay." The prince praised him for a moment, but then his face darkened again: "If everyone is as good as you, how many people are unwilling to contribute to the country is really hateful."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table. When he saw it, Pei Ziyun sighed in his heart. When he is in a high position, people change. This is actually a natural principle. He became an earthly immortal and a true king. But back then, he was It is also different when a scholar lifts a person, but it goes without saying.
The prince changed the topic and said: "It's been very hard for you, but the state affairs are busy, but there is one thing I want you to do!"
"Your Highness, please speak." Pei Ziyun nodded and said. The prince smiled and seemed a little thirsty. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After thinking about it, he asked: "King Lu is attacking Chenzhou. The matter is urgent. Your Majesty wants you to take over." Commander, what do you think?"
If he were an ordinary minister, he would just issue the edict, but Pei Ziyun was a Taoist and an Earth Immortal, so he would have to come over and ask questions first. If he didn't obey the edict, the situation would be embarrassing.
After hearing what the prince said, Pei Ziyun was silent for a moment. Should he agree or not
After thinking about it like this, I thought about my mission. Now that the monsters are hiding in the army more and more, my mission is getting more and more arduous. It is difficult for an individual to do it. I can only use the power of the court. If I refuse now, that is They all turned against each other.
Besides, he controls a large army, attracts the attention of the world, and his reputation can also be absorbed and transformed. However, after this expedition ends, I am afraid that it will be a showdown with the imperial court. But by then, I am afraid that things will be different again. Such thoughts flashed through my mind. First, he said: "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have orders, and I accept them."
The prince's eyes have always been fixed on Pei Ziyun. Although the emperor is afraid of Pei Ziyun, the prince has achieved his current status through Pei Ziyun's plan. He believes in Pei Ziyun a lot, and both the government and the public have put their own stamp on Pei Ziyun. With Pei Ziyun leading the army, his status will be improved. Much more stable.
Listening at this time, he took a long breath and smiled: "I knew you wouldn't refuse, so come with me to the palace today to meet the Holy Spirit and make a decision as soon as possible, lest King Lu, a rebellious minister and traitor, cause trouble to the people."
