This day seems to be the most relaxing day for Shang Ruyi in the more than half a year since he agreed to get married, got married, and then experienced all the ups and downs.
Enjoyment is inherently relaxing.
Chu Yang first took her to visit the entire Jiangdu Palace.
The old palace was built extremely luxuriously because of the extravagance and indulgence of its owner. However, unlike the grand palaces in Xijing and Dongdu, Jiangdu Palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with cornices and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. , all of which reveal delicacy and dexterity. Following the deliberate painting on certain pavilions and pavilions, coupled with the meticulous carvings of southern craftsmen, they are as gorgeous as a heavenly palace.
When Chu Yang sent people to rebuild Jiangdu Palace, he added his almost unbridled imagination to the exquisite scenery. For example, two tall buildings were erected in the winding path leading to the secluded place, and in the tall buildings, there were A flying corridor connects them.
When they stood on the corridor, overlooking most of Jiangdu Palace, a group of chaffinches even flew past them deftly.
As the sparrow flew by, a gust of wind blew across his face, and Shang Ruyi immediately smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.
She whispered: "It smells so good."
Chu Yang, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "What kind of fragrance?"
Although the fragrance was fleeting, it seemed to linger on the tip of her nose. Shang Ruyi sniffed and whispered, "It seems like...peach blossoms."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pink peach blossom came into view.
She was stunned when she saw Chu Yang holding the peach branch in his hand and bringing the flower to her with a smile: "When I just climbed up the stairs, I saw the peach blossoms blooming below, so I broke one and gave it to you."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was still a little stunned, but Chu Yang's fingertips had already twisted the peach branch and gently turned it. The peach blossom immediately turned gently on Shang Ruyi's face, and the petals brushed against her skin. At this time, it seemed as if it was brushed by his fingertips.
That itchy feeling made Shang Ruyi's heart tremble slightly.
His clothes were stained red by her blood before, so he changed into this snow-white robe. It was still a wide-sleeved robe, spotless, and matched with his handsome and graceful appearance, and the silk-like silk hanging down on his shoulders. The long, shiny black hair is also fluttering in the wind, like a loose fairy.
At this moment, the Sanxian held the peach blossom and smiled at her: "There is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River."
"...Let's talk about giving a spring."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but took the spring branch, looked at the delicate red flowers, and then looked at his handsome face like an immortal behind the flowers, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Yang smiled so hard that his eyes curled up.
He turned his head again, holding on to the fence in front of him, squinting his eyes slightly as if enjoying the fragrance of flowers in the wind, while Shang Ruyi held the spring branch in his hand, but just looked at him.
Chu Yang suddenly said: "Are you hungry?"
"ah?"
Shang Ruyi still couldn't come to his senses. Isn't the person in front of him a loose immortal? Why did he suddenly ask her if she was hungry?
But the next moment, she immediately felt empty in her stomach, and seemed to be really hungry. After thinking about it again, I remembered that when she got up in the morning, she only ate one or two bites of food, and then she was busy coming to see him, and even accompanied him to visit most of Jiangdu Palace. It was almost evening now, and that little food was long gone. The consumption is gone. ….
Strange, why couldn't I feel it just now?
Seeing her stunned for a moment and then nodding unconsciously, Chu Yang smiled, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to dinner."
Shang Ruyi was a little dizzy as he led him down the corridor in a hurry.
After a while, they returned to the courtyard.
The difference from before was that there were two low tables placed under the flower tree. The tables were already filled with exquisite wine and food. As soon as they approached, they could smell the fragrance. Chu Yang took her and sat down. He raised his chopsticks and started eating.
Most of these dishes are commonly used these days, such as sunflower chopped meat, three sets of duck, crispy eel, and a dish that looks shiny and red, with countless meat strips as big as petals, which is particularly attractive.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but ask: "What kind of dish is this?"
Chu Yang said: "Exquisite tongue."
Shang Ruyi had never heard of it before: "Linglongtongue? What is it?"
Eunuch Yu, who was serving wine at the side, said: "Madam, you are just the tongue of a grass flower and a bird."
"Grainbird?"
Shang Ruyi was startled, and when he took a closer look, he saw that those thin strips of meat were not tongues! I don’t know what method the chef used to cook it, but every tongue was crystal clear and shiny, and exuded a rich aroma. However, although this plate is not many, the tongues are so small that there must be at least several hundred tongues to make such a plate.
Therefore, for just one dish, you have to catch hundreds of grass sparrows.
I don’t know how much manpower was spent...
Just thinking about it, her heart sank, but then she couldn't help but blame herself - she had already decided that on this day, just this day, she would live up to the scenery here, so why did she have to worry so much?
So, she smiled and said, "I know."
Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said softly: "Madam, please use it."
After saying that, he withdrew.
Shang Ruyi picked up the chopsticks and silently picked up the food and drank. However, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, she did not pick up a piece of her attractive-looking exquisite tongue.
Chu Yang glanced at it lightly and didn't say much.
At this time, a burst of elegant music suddenly sounded. Shang Ruyi immediately raised his head, but the musician was nowhere to be seen. If he listened carefully, he found that the music was coming from outside the wall of the courtyard. It was faintly visible and absent, filling the space. The silence at this moment did not disturb them too much; as the music began to play, a group of red dancers also walked in from outside the Aquarius Door. They went up the corridor and danced to the music.
Shang Ruyi watched and listened, then looked back at Chu Yang: "This-"
"Like it?"
Chu Yang looked at her with a smile: "How can we go on an outing in the garden without singing and dancing to add to the fun?"
"..."
"Although your food and clothing are all arranged by me these days, in order to let you rest, there is nothing for you to entertain yourself. Today, I will provide you with everything."
After saying that, he asked again: "Do you like it?"
Shang Ruyi looked at him for a while and nodded: "I like it."
The smile on Chu Yang's face deepened, he lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Shang Ruyi still looked at him, then looked at the peach blossom that had just been placed on the side of the table, as well as the dancing girls around, and the melancholy sound lingering in her ears. After a long silence, she also picked up the wine glass and put I drank the daughter's red wine that had been stored for thirty years in one gulp. ….
The sweet wine burned all the way down with a burning sensation, and she swallowed back the words she shouldn't have spoken.
And this was the first time she knew that she was such a good drinker.
It was also the first time she knew that wine could not drown sorrows...
Because, even after drinking a lot of wine, she still clearly felt the constant pain in her heart. In fact, the more beautiful the scenery in front of her and the louder the singing and dancing, the more intense the pain she felt in her heart.
Finally, dinner was finished.
It's getting dark too.
Shang Ruyi thought that he could finally be freed from the pain in his chest that seemed to last forever, but when he saw Chu Yang stood up, he waved his hand and said, "Stand down."
Immediately, the surrounding drums and music dimmed, and the dancers also retreated one after another.
There were almost only the two of them left in the entire courtyard. Shang Ruyi also stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty wants to——"
Before she finished speaking, she stopped.
Is this really the end of today?
But what about the Imperial Guards and Wang Shaoji? I received the warning handkerchief, but nothing strange has happened until now. Could it be that the warning was really wrong? still--
Just when she was a little confused, Chu Yang reached out and grabbed her wrist again.
This time, the temperature of his hand was a little hot, and even the force was a little uncontrollable, causing her wrist to hurt.
"His Majesty?"
Shang Ruyi was shocked, but before she could say anything, Chu Yang had already pulled her through
Go out through the Aquarius Gate.
By this time, the sky had darkened, and there was no Eunuch Yu leading anyone to illuminate the front with a lantern, but they could still walk without any hindrance, because the glazed lanterns they saw hanging under the eaves when they came were all lit up at this moment. !
Shang Ruyi opened his eyes in surprise - when were these lights turned on?
It was lit when they were completely unaware. Walking at this moment was like walking into a picture that had been prepared for her.
Shang Ruyi was so stupidly held by Chu Yang and walked all the way. When the two finally boarded the Guangming Hall, stood on the Danqi and looked back, Shang Ruyi immediately opened his eyes in shock.
The entire Jiangdu Palace was illuminated by countless glazed lamps.
These glazed lanterns are of various shapes and colours, and the light they emit is either red or blue, clear or misty, as free and gorgeous as elves at night. And the Jiangdu Palace, outlined elegantly by these bright lights, looks like a The entire crystal clear Crystal Palace shines in the night and is so beautiful.
Shang Ruyi was so shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him that he was speechless. Unknowingly, tears welled up in his eyes, and the glazed lights were dazzled by his tears.
"Pretty?"
Chu Yang's gentle voice rang in her ears again. Ruyi didn't even dare to raise her head to look at him, she just lowered her head and said "hmm".
But Chu Yang smiled again: "It's not over yet."
Not finished yet?
Shang Ruyi was stunned, ignoring the tears filling his eyes, and immediately raised his head to ask him, but before he could speak, he heard a muffled sound above his head, like thunder in spring.
She hurriedly turned her head and felt another burst of dazzling light in front of her eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes, he saw a gorgeous firework blooming above the light hall.
"This is--"
She wanted to say something, but she had no time to speak. One after another, fireworks bloomed overhead, red, yellow, purple, and blue. Thousands of fiery trees and silver flowers illuminated the dark Jiangdu night like daylight.
Shang Ruyi was completely stunned.
People often call too beautiful moments a dream come true, but at this moment she felt like a dream butterfly——
Otherwise, how could life be so gorgeous and perfect?
Just when she was so surprised that she didn't know whether she was in a dream or something else, Chu Yang's voice sounded in her ears.
"Like it?"
She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Chu Yang's voice again amidst the popping sound of fireworks: "Do you like -?".
