Seeing that Sui Yan was okay, Jun Jingxing didn't stay any longer, he left after telling him a few words.
Jun Jingxing lowered his head and followed the palace servants out of the East Palace with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, but as he walked, he felt that something was wrong, he looked at the unfamiliar scene around him, and smiled tentatively: "Father-in-law, this doesn't seem to be going out of the palace. the way."
The palace man tilted his head and smiled at him, and said lightly: "Yin Gongzi, my highness, please come over and talk."
Jun Jingxing's pupils shrank.
Sui Yan was so frightened by Jun Jingxing that he didn't sit in the rattan rocking chair leisurely. He invited a palace servant and said, "Which side of the imperial garden is the plum tree blooming?"
Although it was already February, the capital was still frozen and snowy, and only Meilin could enjoy the scenery in the Imperial Garden, and the snow in other places was similar.
The palace servants hurriedly took him there.
Suiyan got Duan Mingchong's guarantee that he would eat and wait until he died, and he immediately started to do his best. Go to the Merlin in the north of the Imperial Garden.
The past few days have been clear skies, the snow in the imperial garden has melted a lot, the pavilions are beautiful and small, the branches of ancient locust pines and cypresses are covered with snow, a large plum forest is in full swing, like a sea of flowers, and a few begonias are competing to bloom first. , but added a bit of spring to the surrounding Leng Su.
The palace servants put the small snacks brought by Sui Yan on the carved stone table of the pavilion one by one, and there was a table full of everything. If Duan Mingchong was here, and he saw these folks who didn't know how to eat, he might not know what to eat. Let people throw it all out.
Sitting on the padded stone bench, Sui Yan said casually to the palace servant next to him while peeling pine nuts: "Is no one here in the imperial garden on weekdays? It's deserted."
Gong Ren said: "On weekdays, a few princes and empresses would come over to enjoy the view, but the fifth prince was sick these days, so..."
He laughed dryly and said nothing more.
Sui Yan nodded clearly and said, "Does His Highness usually come here?"
Gong Ren said: "His Royal Highness likes Hongmei and Haitang very much, and will come as soon as he has time. It's just that things have been busy these days, and I haven't come to see it since the new year."
Sui Yan nibbled on the pine nuts thoughtfully, and then asked, "How long is this plum grove blooming?"
"Around mid-February, the plum blossoms will fall."
Sui Yan said "Oh" and stared at the red plum blossoms on the branches.
After a while, he finally finished eating a handful of pine nuts in his hand, patted the dirt on his hands, and said casually, "Go and find me a pair of scissors."
The palace servant shook for a while, and boldly raised his head and glanced at Sui Yan, and found that his eyes had been stuck on the few begonia and plum trees.
Probably thinking of his plan, the palace servants persuaded hard: "Little Marquis, this... the flowers in the imperial garden cannot be picked at will."
Sui Yan looked at him blankly: "What did you say?"
The palace man repeated it again.
Suiyan: "What? Speak louder!"
Palace staff: "..."
Sui Yan muttered, "I can't hear you."
The palace servant whispered: "Yes, the servant will go now."
This time Sui Yan heard clearly: "That's good, hurry up and find something sharper."
Palace staff: "..."
The people in the East Palace were instructed by Duan Mingchong on the second day of Suiyan's stay. No matter what Suiyan ordered, they should obey.
Suiyan nibbled on pine nuts for a while, and finally waited for the scissors. He stood up and jumped twice, shook the pine nut skin off his clothes, took off his cloak, and threw his head on the palace servants who were serving him.
He wore a purple robe and had a slender waist. He climbed the ladder that the palace servants found for him, climbed to a high place, and cut it up.
Outside the Imperial Garden, Song Xian and Duan Zhisu were coming back.
Song Xian hesitated along the way, he was not someone who couldn't hold back, at this time he looked at the person left and right, and said solemnly to Duan Zhi in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, I heard that the fifth prince doesn't seem to be very good. All right."
Duan Zhisu turned his head to look at him, and kept walking: "What?"
Song Xian said: "I don't know what happened a few days ago, but he suddenly became able to move again, but his mind was a little crazy, and he looked around for things like he was stunned."
"Looking for what?"
"I don't know," Song Xian said, "It's precisely because I don't know that things are even more strange, Duanxi... People like the fifth prince, although they are not very respectable behind the scenes, they are still princes anyway, so crazy like that. The embarrassed appearance, the emperor felt that he couldn't hold his face when he saw it..."
Duan Zhisu stopped.
Song Xian whispered: "Everyone is now saying that the fifth prince seems to be falling out of favor."
Duan Zhisu chuckled lightly, his eyes full of light irony: "Father has spoiled him for so many years, it's time to wipe his eyes to see what kind of virtue he is."
Song Xian hesitated.
Duan Zhisu said, "Is there anything else?"
Song Xian's voice became even lower: "I also heard that... the fifth prince was fine before, but after Wanggui went to see him once, he started to go crazy."
Duan Zhisu's eyes moved slightly: "Forgot to go home?"
"Well, the people of the Fifth Highness are madly saying that the little Marquis secretly poisoned the Fifth Prince, and Niangniang Ning washes her face with tears every day. It is rumored that even the emperor seems to believe it," Song Xian saw Duan Zhi's solemn face. Looking a little worried, he hurriedly said, "However, the crown prince tried his best to make sure he didn't go home, because he almost quarreled with the second prince about this matter, and he kept the news so tightly that he didn't let the matter reach his ears. When I came to Duan Xichen, I had no grievances and no grudges, and secondly, there was no evidence, when I forgot to return, many palace people were there to guard, he did nothing at all, and the emperor could not do anything with him."
Duan Zhisu was a little stunned: "Prince..."
The two of them were talking, and they passed by the hanging flower gate when they suddenly heard a series of exclamations in the distance.
Duan Zhisu looked up and saw a shadowy purple figure in the distance, as well as a faint cry.
"Little, little Marquis! If you cut it again, the tree will be bald, and the emperor will blame him for seeing it!"
The palace servant looked down at Sui Yan holding the scissors and clicking, and was so anxious that he almost cried.
Sui Yan stepped on the ladder, holding a bright and dripping flower branch in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I will cut another branch, and people will definitely not see it."
His field of vision was too narrow at the top, so he couldn't see it, but as long as the people below looked up, they could see a bare branch, as if it had been gnawed by a sheep, which was horrible to see.
The palace servant who was serving Sui Yan was about to cry, and he didn't listen to any persuasion. In such a cold day, cold sweat was pouring out.
Duan Zhisu and Song Xian turned into the imperial garden, and when they looked closely, their faces turned green.
Sui Yan didn't know someone was coming, so he secretly rubbed and trimmed the branches to look good, and said to himself, "Put them all in the vase in the side hall. Duan Mingchong likes plum blossoms so much, he will definitely stay for a few more days."
He was muttering when a voice came from the side.
"Forgot to return?"
Sui Yan looked down and directly met Duan Zhisu and Song Xian who were looking up at him under the tree.
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan was stunned, and the flower in his mouth suddenly fell.
Song Xian's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are really brave, and you dare to cut flowers in the imperial garden."
Sui Yan blinked, quickly hid the scissors behind his back, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, Chonghui, it's such a coincidence that you all come to enjoy the flowers."
Duan Zhisu's face was complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Song Xian glanced angrily at the flowers and branches in the ground, which made his headache even worse: "Sui Wanggui, there are hundreds of plum trees in this plum forest, why did you choose the only one of the hardest cinnabar plum trees to grow? "
Suiyan said: "Oh, the only one, then I have good eyesight."
Song Xian: "..."
Duan Zhisu couldn't listen anymore, so he said helplessly, "Come down and talk first, be careful you fall."
Sui Yan made an "oh" sound and slowly climbed down on the ladder.
Song Xian said yin and yang strangely on the side: "Don't fall down, I won't pick you up anyway."
Sui Yan glared at him, just as he was about to say that he would not fall, suddenly his foot slipped, he stepped in the air, and fell directly from the ladder.
"Watch out!"
Crowzui Song Xian was startled, just now he was still talking nonsense about not picking up Sui Yan, but at this time he instinctively took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand towards Sui Yan who fell.
In the next instant, Sui Yan rubbed his fingertips and fell straight down.
Song Xian: "..."
Sui Yan: "Ah—"
Duan Zhisu: "…"
Fortunately, Sui Yanzai had already descended a few floors of the ladder, and he didn't fall hard when he hit the ground. He just clutched his elbow that hit the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Song Xian felt very guilty, and quickly reached out to help him up.
Sui Yan almost looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.
Song Xian hurriedly said: "It's not my fault, you fell down because you didn't step on it firmly."
Sui Yan looked at him shyly and said coldly, "Do you still want me to cry again?"
Song Xian: "..."
Song Xian said quietly: "You still have the face to mention this, I was almost killed by your brother last time, you said why you are so thick-skinned, you are a sixteen in the spring, and you pretend to be shameless. Cry and pretend to be pitiful."
Suiyan pinched him and threatened: "It was obviously you who distracted me by talking to me, and now you dare to shirk the responsibility?! Say one more word, and I'll cry to you right away."
Song Xian: "..."
Song Xian looked at him in disbelief: "What's the use of crying now, your brother is not here, you go to the street to ask, I, Song Chonghui, are so old, besides General Sui, who else have you ever been afraid of?"
Sui Yan didn't know whether it was pain or anger, and stared at him fiercely, tears filling his eyelashes and shaking.
Duan Zhisu coughed heavily and interrupted the confrontation between the two: "Okay, don't make trouble, did Wanggui's hand touch, or I'll take you back to see the doctor."
Suiyan didn't feel any guilt towards Duan Zhisu, and he didn't feel uncomfortable getting along with him. He covered his sore arm, stepped on Song Chonghui's instep, and stomped him until he screamed, only to relieve his anger.
Only then did Sui Yan have time to bow his head to Duan Zhisu, and Duan Zhisu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be more polite.
Sui Yan ignored Duan Zhisu's words, trotted under the tree, picked up the flower branches on the ground and hugged them in his arms, and asked the servants to send him back to the East Palace, exhorting: "Run quickly, run quickly, don't let people see ."
The palace servant wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to obey the order and ran away.
Seeing him leave, Sui Yan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Song Xian, and hummed, "Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
Duan Zhisu is not a person who can go around talking, and only Song Xian, who likes to talk all over the place, can spread this matter out.
Song Xian jumped on the spot for a while, and the pain on the back of his feet subsided. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Why can't you forgive me, now that General Sui is not here, even if you want to sue, no one will do it. You decide."
Sui Yan looked at him faintly: "That's what you said."
It's not that I want to complain.
Song Xian saw his small eyes full of calculations, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
The author has something to say: Sui Yan: I lost.
Song Xian: I'll take it.
- No, no more.
Suiyan: Waste! ! ! ! ! [Breaking sound]
If this is the crown prince, he will definitely be able to take it, steadily.
