The rain was not heavy, but the ground was also wet, not to mention the muddy ground on which Liu Qiqiao fell, because people had walked through it before, and it became muddy. Princess Chun was busy asking people to caress Liu Qiqiao.
A court lady hurriedly walked over, and together with Lan Xiang, helped Liu Qiqiao up.
Behind the skirt, the place where he was sitting was stained by mud and water. Liu Qiqiao looked at her embarrassed, unavoidably a little anxious. Before the banquet started, he soiled his clothes. After a while, it is impossible to wear such a dirty clothes. Clothes, are you going to face saint
Princess Chun was also anxious, and said to the court lady: "Fu Auntie, go to the side hall over there, take care of it!"
The court lady took her order and asked Liu Qiqiao to go over. Shen Xiurong watched Liu Qiqiao go. She was too busy to follow. Princess Chun stopped her: "Yes, let Qiqiao go alone, her maid. Then, don’t go there. If you walk and fall, it will also get dirty, it’s not good!"
Liu Qiqiao turned around in the rain curtain in front, and said to Shen Xiurong, "Xiurong, you will accompany the princess, I will be back when I go!"
Seeing this, Shen Xiurong stopped. Seeing the palace lady holding an umbrella, Lan Xiang also took an umbrella, opened it, and stood under the umbrella with Liu Qiqiao, and walked away with the palace lady.
Shen Xiurong watched them disappear into the rain. Princess Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the rain comes fast and goes fast. I'm afraid it will stop before they come back!"
Hearing what Princess Chun said, Shen Xiurong turned her head back, and dealt with the princess with tactful energy.
Liu Qiqiao, the master and servant, followed the palace lady through the imperial garden. Fortunately, it was not far away, and saw a small palace. The palace lady smiled and said, "Just here, let's go in!"
The three of them walked in.
Someone greeted them, and the palace lady explained their intentions to them, and the man invited them in. Several palace ladies stood under the porch, looking at them curiously.
The palace lady asked Liu Qiqiao to take off her outer skirt. Liu Qiqiao took off the skirt with the help of Lan Xiang and handed it over to the palace lady. Someone held a plain white skirt and asked Liu Qiqiao to put it on temporarily.
Liu Qiqiao put it on, standing in this hall, and asked the lady who brought the skirt: "What is this yard?"
The palace lady smiled and said: "This is a side hall of Zhong Cui Palace. It was originally used by the draft girls who entered the palace draft during the draft. Now there have been no drafts for three or four years, so it has been vacant."
Liu Qiqiao nodded, looking at this hall with the same curiosity as Lan Xiang.
The palace lady looked at the curious look of their master and servant, and smiled: "If you want to see, you might as well take an umbrella and stroll around in the yard. I told them to wash the skirt carefully, and then dry it. It will take a while!"
Liu Qiqiao agreed, and looked at Lan Xiang. Lan Xiang was like listening to a story. He had heard about talent show before, but now that he is here, he is naturally a little bit excited, slightly a little bit excited. Nodded towards Liu Qiqiao.
Liu Qiqiao smiled clearly, and then said to the palace lady: "So, then let's go out and have a look first!"
The palace lady picked up a slightly larger umbrella and handed it to them: "Walking out from this hall, on the left is the imperial garden we just walked over, and on the right is a nursery where many exotic flowers and grasses are planted. Somewhat to watch!"
Listening to her saying this, Liu Qiqiao's master and servant chose to walk to the right.
Sure enough, I turned around the long corridor and saw a large nursery. Shen's Mansion also has a flower nursery that specializes in flowers, but it is not as big as this one. This nursery is very large. As the palace lady said, in addition to some common varieties, there are Many strange flowers and weeds that their masters and servants did not recognize and could not call their names.
They walked in, one side was a window, the window was half open at this time, the screens were moon-white, rain was slanting in, there was heavy rain outside, and there was a light rain inside, and the flowers that could not be named, exude their own. Fragrant, the two masters and servants, if they strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring, a little startled.
It’s so beautiful here. Both of them thought this in their hearts. They walked a few steps further, but didn’t want the flower garden to be bigger than what they saw at first glance. Inside, a small pond was dug to plant all kinds of plants. Aquatic plants, except for water lilies, Liu Qiqiao couldn't even call those flowers and plants by their names.
"How much effort is needed for this, in the palace after all, they are all rare things that can't be seen outside!" Lan Xiang exclaimed.
Liu Qiqiao nodded, and at this moment, they all heard the flute.
As soon as the flute rang, Lan Xiang felt that Qing was better, but Liu Qiqiao was stunned.
She hoped that she had heard it wrong, but the more she listened, the more frightened she was. She guessed who was playing the flute.
Liu Qiqiao wanted to go inside again, but at this moment, she stopped. She turned her head back and said to Lan Xiang, "Let's go back!"
Lan Xiang was a little puzzled: "Go back now, there is still a big deal here, shall we stop shopping?"
Liu Qiqiao shook his head: "Let's go!"
She took the lead and just took a step, but she heard someone say: "Now that I'm here, why don't you meet? Could it be, Liu Qiye, you still have a grudge against me..."
At this time, Lan Xiang was also surprised: "Auntie, he calls you Liu Qiye..."
Liu Qiqiao was a little startled, and subconsciously wanted to go out, but he heard that person say: "Liu Qiye, long time no see, so please come over, but you just avoid it? Are you afraid of me? Ruo selfless in my heart Why should he be so taboo?"
Liu Qiqiao paused, Lan Xiang hesitantly pulled Liu Qiqiao's sleeve: "Auntie?"
Liu Qiqiao shook his head to her: "No matter, Lan Xiang, you go to the door and wait for me. I'll go in for a while, then he will come out!"
When Lan Xiang heard her say this, she looked at her worriedly, and was not relieved, so she let her in alone.
"It's okay, you can go out!" Liu Qiqiao finished speaking, tidying up his clothes, then turned around and walked in.
Lan Xiang didn't dare to resist the master's order, so she turned her head one step at a time, looking at Liu Qiqiao with concern while walking outside.
Liu Qiqiao walked inward along the tall and sparsely sparsely flowers and leaves.
This flower garden looks chaotic, but it is actually arranged in a patchwork manner according to their respective varieties and various habits of the flowers.
This piece is a mandala from the south, big flowers, various colors, single petals, double petals, scented, Liu Qiqiao bypassed them, and further inside, there are clusters of rose , Next to the big peony, with more color and scale, Liu Qiqiao walked away while admiring the flowers.
The pond is not big, but when I walked around, I saw a big rock standing on this side of it. Someone was sitting here. Hearing footsteps, he slowly stood up and turned around.
Liu Qiqiao has forgotten how long it has been since he has seen Lin Pingmo, but it feels like it has been a long time. The last time I was in a hurry, when I saw it in the hunting ground, I never saw it again.
However, his rewards, his gifts, have been sent to her.
She learned about him only in the mouths of others. That day, he followed Princess Chun into the palace. The emperor recognized him at a glance, and then grabbed his hand and didn’t let it go. The father and son were reunited, Ben It was overjoyed, but he has always been happy and angered, but he looked like the sick and old emperor, and he was so touched that he cried bitterly.
Liu Qiqiao also thought about what Lin Pingmo is now, who is called Ling Tianmo, the twelfth prince, he finally changed back to this identity.
Now, she finally saw him.
He stood there with his eyes deep in the deep pond beside him. He also wore a white gown. Liu Qiqiao was startled. It seemed that he had never worn this color before.
In the past, he always wore the house clothes in the Shen's store, or a dark robe, such a white, in her memory, he had never seen him wear it.
After all I entered the royal family, such a simple white robe, but I can see that it is expensive silk and satin, and there is no decoration at all. It is amazingly plain, and there seems to be a faint embroidered pattern on the front of the coat, but it is not far away. Not close, can't see clearly.
Only then did Liu Qiqiao remember the identity of the two people, and now they have changed each one. He is a respected person, and she is humble, so she went down with great blessings: "The female daughter Liu Qiqiao has seen the twelve princes!"
Lin Pingmo looked at Liu Qiqiao in front of him, his eyes darkened a little when he saw her saluting so virtuously, and he snorted coldly in his nose: "You don't have to deliberately make this alienation gesture!"
He was so cynic, and he didn’t see Liu Qiqiao responding. She was still half bowing her knees, and she was still saluting. He wanted to get angry and ignore her, so he watched how long she could hold on like this, but he couldn’t bear it. He still felt sorry for her. With a badly injured body, he said angrily: "Okay, get up!"
Nowadays, when he said this, he also had a certain style, as Liu Qiqiao thought, he straightened up.
Lin Pingmo stood there, with a jade flute in his hand, gently scratching the flowers in front of him, the branches and leaves were broken by him, he said for a long time: "You come closer, let me take a look... "
Hearing this, Liu Qiqiao took a few steps forward, Lin Pingmo disgusted with her small steps, he stood up, walked around the boulder, and walked towards her.
The corners of the white robe fell into Liu Qiqiao's drooping eyebrows. Under the white robe, there were the shoes that she had made. She closed her eyes, and there was a slight pain in her heart, short, but could not be ignored. .
Liu Qiqiao, who was making shoes, might not have thought of it. Later, when he put them on, they would meet in this way.
"Are you going to keep your head down like this? You weren't such a personality before, Qiqiao, when would you be afraid? I guess you are thinking about how to leave me now. You have never been afraid. Why lower your head!" Lin Pingmo said.
Liu Qiqiao blessed his body again: "Qiqiao dare not!"
Lin Pingmo snorted coldly, "Then look up, Liu Qiqiao!"
Liu Qiqiao raised his head slightly, trying not to fall on Lin Pingmo in front of him.
"Qiqiao!" But Lin Pingmo could not be as calm as her. He entered the palace. During this period of time, he walked on thin ice. Yes, others could not see it, but his heart was completely desolate. He didn't know the palace. Here, how many people looked at him in the dark, waiting for him, he didn’t know what it was. When he was most helpless, he sat on the roof of the palace all night and would often think of her. Come.
He knows her injury, and it is getting better every day. He knows that she will slowly forget herself in her heart. He can't forgive. The sentence she said before he fell unconscious in his arms: "I don't owe you anymore. …"
Such anxious separation, regardless of whether he wants to separate from her...
He dreamed of many nightmares in his dreams. Only by dreaming of her can he be peaceful. She is a magic weapon for him to calm down.
Those counsellors, discussing in his house every day annoyed him. He would think of her at that time. He didn't know what she would look like when he entered the palace.
"Qiqiao..." He stretched out his hand, but when he was about to touch her cheek, she flinched and avoided him.
Lin Pingmo looked at his lost hand with a trace of stunnedness. He turned to look at Liu Qiqiao, who just turned his eyes to him.
Her eyes were full of begging light, as if coaxing the child to make him obedient. Lin Pingmo didn't care, stretched out his hand again and squeezed her chin. He wanted to do this since the moment he saw her. Why, she kept avoiding him, so, would she still hide? I can only look at him: "Qiqiao..."
Liu Qiqiao looked at him, she was speechless, didn't he know how strong his hands were? His handprints were immediately printed on her cheeks. Maybe she would leave bruises. She was a little scared, afraid of leaving any inexplicable marks. She didn't want to see him, just didn't want him like this, "Prince please let go..." She said, word by word, spit out from her red lips.
