Surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, Xuanzong took Li Sixu and stood at the door of the Manna Palace next to Taiye Lake. Eunuch Gao ordered the young eunuch to open the door of the Manna Palace.
Xuanzong stopped him: "Bring me a piece of red silk!"
Li Sixu looked at Xuanzong in confusion. She didn't understand why she wanted red silk when she was brought to see the cherry blossoms.
Looking at her ignorant appearance, Xuanzong laughed: "Of course I will cover your eyes with red silk."
"Forget it, my little Shi can't wait any longer."
Just when Eunuch Gao was about to send people to find red silk, Xuanzong decided to do the next best thing: "Use a veil. First, use the veil to cover my little princess's eyes."
One handkerchief was not enough, so Eunuch Gao confiscated the handkerchiefs of the accompanying maids and tied several handkerchiefs together to block Li Sixu's eyes.
In this way, her father gave the order to open the door of the Manna Palace.
Being led by her father into the Manna Palace, the corners of Li Sixu's mouth twitched.
childish!
I told her in the Imperial Study that I would take her to the Manna Hall to see the cherry blossoms, but now I was covering her eyes with a handkerchief. What was going on?
It's such a childish old trick, but she still wants to indulge in it and cooperate with her father.
Being led by Xuanzong, Li Sixu's voice was full of joy: "Father, I can smell the fragrance of flowers. It is the breeze that brings it to the tip of my nose."
Xuanzong was in a great mood!
He asked Li Sixu: "What else?"
"Also, I felt the water vapor coming towards my face. I guessed that there must be water here."
Li Sixu looked forward to it: "It must be beautiful with flowers and water. Can I take off the veil and have a look?"
"It's not time yet!"
Xuanzong rejected her and led her forward.
Feeling that the road had become smoother, Li Sixu lowered her head and saw the wooden bridge under her feet through the gap in the veil.
Her father must have held her hand and turned from the pebble path in the garden to the wooden bridge, but the wooden bridge seemed a bit long.
Li Sixu urged: "Where are you going, father? Are you here?"
"Coming!"
Xuanzong led her to the end of the wooden bridge, then climbed up the steps.
When he reached a high place and felt the breeze blowing against his face, he took off the veil that covered Li Sixu's eyes.
Touching his father's smile, Li Sixu realized that he was standing in a viewing building next to the lake. Leaning on the railing and looking, a dazzling sea of cherry blossoms came into Li Sixu's eyes.
The winding wooden bridge shuttles between the sea of flowers, the breeze blows slowly, and the fallen petals fall into the lake near the water. The scenery is beautiful.
Li Sixu knew that she was following her father to see the cherry blossoms, but she didn't know that it was such a huge cherry orchard.
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful. I like it so much."
There is such a cherry blossom garden in the palace?
Li Sixu was shocked: "Father, does the Manna Palace hide such a large cherry orchard?"
"Among my children, you are the smartest and cleverest. It turns out that you can be stupid sometimes."
Xuanzong smiled and patted her shoulder: "This cherry garden was prepared by my father for you and Yu'er. After you went to Yuzhen Temple, you cruelly left me alone in the palace, and you were so happy to miss Shu that you didn't want to go back to the palace. , in order to keep you, I had no choice but to build this cherry orchard in Ganlu Hall."
When he saw Li Sixu, he was touched and surprised at the same time.
Xuanzong laughed loudly: "I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to spend a lot of money to transplant these cherry trees from outside the palace."
"When you and Yu'er were still in Yuzhen Temple, I had already asked people to make preparations. I was also afraid that the cherry blossoms that had just been transplanted would not bloom. Gao Lishi asked people to recruit the best gardener to enter the palace, and finally let me The little princess saw this cherry garden."
Xuanzong hugged his little princess and scratched her little nose: "With such a cherry garden, do Xiao Shi and Yu'er want to abandon me and always think about running out of the palace?"
Li Sixu admitted that he was moved by the old tricks of the man in front of him.
In such a short period of time, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build a cherry blossom garden in the palace and make the newly transplanted cherry blossoms bloom brilliantly.
What's more important is that her father was busy with court affairs during this period, and was also involved in the restless affairs of his Uncle Qi.
Despite this, he still quietly did all this for her and his mother-in-law without disturbing the various palaces and gardens in the palace. It is hard to imagine how he could do it.
When the man in front of you dotes on someone, he dotes on him with all his strength!
Although Li Sixu wanted to go out of the palace to Yuzhen Temple to find out Yaoyao's life experience, but as the emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he built a cherry orchard and said not to leave him alone in the palace, but Li Sixu still felt soft-hearted. .
"Okay, Sisi promised father not to go to Yuzhen Temple yet."
Li Sixu put her arms around his warm neck, and then lay on his shoulders: "Then father, you must be good from now on, treat your mother and concubine well, and don't bully Sisi and mother and concubine."
"Silly girl, how could I be willing to bully you and Yu'er?"
Feeling that his little princess was even more attached to him, Xuanzong felt that planting this cherry orchard was worth it.
He held Li Sixu in his arms and said warmly: "Yu'er has a pure mind, and you think about me in everything. You are the little fairy given to me by God. It's too late to protect you. I will not let you mother and daughter suffer."
The emperor's promise cannot be trusted, right?
She knows it can't be trusted!
But things in the world are unpredictable, and it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
At least at this moment, the man in front of her was sincere in his promise to her and her mother-in-law. Li Sixu decided to believe him for once, and her little hands around his neck tightened.
Because she had a silly mother-in-law, Li Sixu was just a little adult in Xuanzong's eyes. Looking at the little person acting coquettishly in his arms, it turned out that she also had such a delicate and soft side.
Xuanzong felt sorry for her even more!
After holding her in his arms and getting up, Xuanzong wanted to ask Eunuch Gao, who was following Yingyuan, if Yu Jieyu was here, but a sudden laughter disturbed the tenderness between father and daughter.
"Mother, the flowers in the garden are blooming better today."
Li Sixu followed Xuanzong who stood up and looked down from a high place. He saw Concubine De being supported by a woman and walking under the cherry trees in the viewing tower. The woman who made a sudden laugh was the woman who was supporting Concubine De. son.
"Yeah, it drives better."
Concubine De's master and servant obviously didn't notice anyone on the viewing floor. She sighed leisurely: "Mommy, the flowers are blooming so well, why do you think there is no movement from the Emperor's side?"
"I can't wait to move into the Manna Palace!"
"Perhaps we have to wait a little longer. I think the cherry blossoms in this garden will bloom best in two days."
Aunt Zhang flattered Concubine De and said, "If your Majesty feels that it is too much trouble to come here from Penglai Hall to enjoy the flowers every day, can I please help your Majesty collect some flowers and put them in the vase?"
"That's fine. The emperor planted this cherry blossom garden for me. I'll cut off a few more branches and put them in vases."
