"The emperor came to our Penglai Palace twice during this period, and asked the empress to assist the queen in hosting the Qujiang Banquet. This time, the emperor not only took the empress to attend the Qujiang Banquet, but as soon as the empress returned to the palace, the reward was sent to Penglai The emperor also gave the fourth prince a set of four treasures of the study, which is the emperor’s intention to value us, the fourth prince."
The master is back in favor, and Aunt Zhang is also arrogant: "Previously, the empress and the fourth prince wanted to win over that little guy Linglongju, but she didn't know what to do. Now that the empress has returned to his favor, our fourth prince is also highly valued by the emperor. She is no longer the one who can reach out to him. Affordable.”
"The Emperor indeed values our Yan'er, and this inkstone is the best Duan Inkstone."
Concubine De was proud and proud: "Although this child Yan'er is silent, when his father was testing his knowledge, he answered questions fluently. After all, this concubine has gained face."
"Who says it's not the case? Our fourth prince is so outstanding, nothing can compare to the movies of some snobbish little girl."
Aunt Zhang approached Concubine De in a flattering manner and said, "Is it possible that your Majesty thinks that this is the only happy event that can't happen? I know a big secret, and there are good things to come for your Majesty in the future."
Concubine De looked at Aunt Zhang, what good thing did she mean?
Madam Zhang said mysteriously: "If you want to know, you have to follow me."
After returning to the palace from Luoyang, Concubine De stayed in the Penglai Palace and did not move around much. She helped the queen with the Qujiang Banquet a few days ago, and today she followed the emperor and empress out of the palace. Concubine De was very tired.
After hearing that Aunt Zhang said she wanted to take a trip, Concubine De was too lazy to move, but she couldn't stand it. Aunt Zhang repeatedly promised that the place she was going to was not far away, and promised to give her a surprise, so Concubine De had to cheer up and follow Aunt Zhang. Grandma left the Penglai Hall.
Going around a path by Taiye Lake, Grandma Zhang took her to the Ganlu Hall adjacent to the Penglai Hall.
Concubine De was confused: "Why did you bring me here? No one has lived in the Manna Palace for a long time."
"Your Majesty, you will know as soon as you follow the old slave!"
The gate of the Manlu Hall was closed tightly. Aunt Zhang took Concubine De around to a small door on the left. They opened the small door and entered the back of the Manlu Hall. After passing through a bush, their eyes suddenly opened up.
Clusters of cherry blossoms just hit Concubine De's sight.
Concubine De was still marveling at the fact that the Ganlu Hall, which had not been occupied for a long time, could hide such a beautiful cherry blossom garden.
Grandma Zhang looked like she was asking for credit: "I have found out clearly that the cherry trees in this garden were moved from other places at a great cost. The flowers are blooming in spring these days, and the flowers in this cherry garden are in bud. , in a few days, the garden will be full of flowers blooming, that will be called beautiful!"
"Your Majesty planted such a cherry orchard for your Majesty without saying a word. Why don't you love your Majesty?"
With a smile on her face, Nanny Zhang said, "The emperor didn't come to see your empress before, it must be because he was busy with court affairs."
The cherry blossom garden in Ganlu Hall is next to Taiye Pond. Now the clusters of flowers are blooming, and it is already so beautiful. What kind of beauty will it be like in a few days when the flowers bloom?
When the breeze blows, the petals fall into the lake. What kind of artistic conception is it?
The emperor actually kept silent and prepared such a big surprise for her return to the palace.
Concubine De's face was filled with joy: "How did I know that the emperor had prepared this for me?"
"Needless to say, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received orders from the Emperor and has begun to repair the Manna Hall and transplant these cherry trees before the Queen returned to the palace. Who doesn't know that except for the eldest princess who is a Taoist, the only person in the palace who likes cherry blossoms is I’m a queen.”
Did it turn out that the emperor had already begun preparations before she returned to the palace?
Concubine De was convinced that the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the Ganlu Hall and plant a garden full of cherry blossoms to welcome her back to the palace.
She actually showed a bit of shyness that only a girl can have on her face, and told Nanny Zhang: "Although the palace stipulates that only concubines above the rank of concubine can live in the main palace, except for Wu Jieyu, the emperor has not said that he will give the Manna Palace to me. Your Majesty, it’s better for Grandma and I to pretend that we don’t know anything about this matter.”
"Old slave, please keep calm!"
Aunt Zhang whispered: "My dear, just wait, I will spend the next few days..."
The master and servant of Concubine De, who had already regarded the Manlu Palace as a treasure, came to the Manlu Palace to enjoy the flowers for two days in a row. Li Sixu, who did not know that there was actually a cherry blossom garden in the palace, made a fuss in front of Xuanzong about bringing in the fish Jieyu. Go to Yuzhen Temple to stay for a while.
"Father, can you promise me your son?"
Li Sixu tugged on Xuanzong's sleeves and shook them in the imperial study: "Sisi promised Aunt Yuzhen that the flowers in Yuying Garden have bloomed and that she will go to Guanli to stay for a while. My father also wants to make a promise to my son. People of faith, right?”
"If I don't let you leave the palace and go to Yuzhen Temple, I will be the one who makes you break your promise."
Xuanzong put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "You always want to run out of the palace and let me tell you what you are good at. You even know how to dig a hole for your father."
Li Sixu had the audacity to lie on Xuanzong's lap, supporting her chin with her hands and looking pitiful: "Does the father really have the heart to prevent his son from leaving the palace? He will be sad, and he cannot leave the palace. Yuzhen’s heart aches when she watches the cherry blossoms.”
The little man lying on his lap looked at him with clear and translucent eyes, and a hint of innocence.
Xuanzong was helpless when he met her eyes, but thinking that the flowers in Ganlu Hall were not in their best bloom yet, he was not bewitched by his little princess after all.
"I have acted it out for you. I don't know who you copied this scoundrel look from. Yu'er is not like you."
Xuanzong helplessly found an excuse: "Your Aunt Yuzhen and Tailecheng went to Luoyang for a spring trip and won't return to Chang'an for a while. You went to Yuzhen Temple and couldn't see her."
"Why did my aunt suddenly go to Luoyang..."
Li Sixu murmured and lost her voice. She was stunned by this sudden news. She couldn't take her mother out of the palace to Yuzhen Temple. How could she secretly inquire about Yaoyao's life experience by going to Yuzhen Temple.
She looked disappointed!
Eunuch Gao, who had no idea what the princess was doing in the royal study, came in to report it.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Tai Lecheng is here. He said that he wants to invite the Pope to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet."
As soon as Eunuch Gao finished speaking, Li Sixu looked at Xuanzong with a half-smile but not a smile: "Father said, who did Sisi follow with that rogue look?"
The slap in the face came so quickly!
"This Tai Le Cheng has come at the right time."
Faced with Li Sixu's inquiring expression, Xuanzong, who loved elegant music, was no longer interested in discussing the music. He coughed in disguise and waved to Eunuch Gao.
"Tell him for me and let him make his own decision. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."
When Eunuch Gao was about to go out to deliver a message, Xuanzong called out to him: "Send someone to Linglongju to summon Yu Jieyu to Ganlu Hall for me."
Eunuch Gao got the order and went to do things. Li Sixu looked at Xuanzong in confusion.
Xuanzong put down the book and took her hand: "You can see the cherry blossoms in the palace without leaving the palace to go to Yuzhen Temple. It's not the time when the flowers are blooming at their best. My father had thought about it in a few days." You and your mother-in-law are surprised that you insist on leaving the palace, so I have to take you to the Manna Palace first."
