Following Concubine De's instructions, Grandma Zhang stood up on tiptoes to reach the flower branches. Because she was too short, she jumped up and grabbed the cherry branches. She jumped and swung around, causing the petals to shake off a lot.
Seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom being so destroyed, Xuanzong stared at the fallen petals with a gloomy expression.
He had gone to great lengths to plant this cherry orchard, but before the fish had a chance to appreciate it, it was so abused.
Feeling Xuanzong's simmering anger, Li Sixu tugged on his sleeves, raised her little head and shook her head.
Xuanzong pulled her back and looked away from Concubine De's servant who was folding flowers: "She ruined the flowers I planted for you and Yu'er. Aren't you angry?"
"My father's wishes were spoiled, and I was very angry. I just thought about the Fourth Emperor's brother who had just entered the Chongwen Hall, so I had to hold it back."
Xuanzong looked at her unexpectedly: "You and Yan'er are really good friends."
"My son thought that Xu Shi had just returned to the palace from Luoyang. The fourth emperor's temperament was a bit sensitive and he had low self-esteem, and it was only then that Empress Dowager De returned her favor. If she offends the father again, the emperor's brother would be ostracized in the Chongwen Hall."
Li Sixu said understandingly: "The clusters of flowers in the cherry blossom garden of Ganlu Palace are the father's feelings for his children and his mother and concubines. It is better for the children and concubines to receive such love from their father than in the Ming Dynasty." The other empresses and brothers and sisters in the palace are even more lucky. Concubine De doesn’t know that this garden was planted by her father for Sisi and concubine Mu, so the few branches she had people break off are treated as parting of her love.”
"Those few cherry blossoms are gone, but my father's beloved son felt it!"
The little man who was holding his sleeves and shaking his eyes was particularly clear and bright when he said these words. Xuanzong only felt that a person with such a pair of bright eyes had a particularly pure mind.
Once again he was touched by his little princess.
Xuanzong looked at her lovingly and smiled: "You take into account the overall situation in everything. You are worthy of being my daughter. You have the mind and courage that a princess of the Tang Dynasty should have."
Since the cherry orchard was planted, the gate of Ganlu Hall has been kept closed except for the gardeners who take care of the cherry orchard.
Although he didn't know how the master and servant of Concubine De entered the cherry garden, Xuanzong said to Li Sixu: "Father, I promise you that this is the last time Concubine De will enter the cherry garden."
Li Sixu thought there was only so much she could do without breaking up and making the situation too ugly.
This was her response to the Fourth Emperor brother sincerely giving her the kitten. If Concubine De dared to provoke her next time, it would be difficult for her to ensure that she had the courage and ambition to be a Princess of the Tang Dynasty.
It was also a coincidence that the original master and servant of Concubine De broke off a few flowers and left, so the turmoil finally subsided.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhang had already regarded the Manna Palace as her master's possession, and she greedily wanted to break a few more branches. The little eunuch who happened to be guarding the entrance of the Manna Palace led the summoned Yu Jieyu into the cherry tree. Garden, come to this viewing tower.
Yu Jieyu fell in love with the cherry blossoms in the garden and was amazed all the way.
When we arrived at the cherry orchard near the Scenic View Building, we saw Grandma Zhang plucking cherry blossoms. She pulled the branches down roughly, and the petals fell. land.
Yu Jieyu felt it was a pity: "Be gentle, don't pull it!"
Nanny Zhang was startled, and when she saw Yu Jieyu clearly, she leaned close to Concubine De and whispered softly.
"Your Majesty, this is the stupid concubine of that little thing in Linglongju."
Concubine De naturally knew that the person who suddenly appeared in the cherry garden was Yu Jieyu, the concubine of the tenth princess. When she had just returned to the palace to pay greetings to the queen, Yu Jieyu was still in Yuzhen Temple and had not returned to the palace.
Later, after she returned to the palace, she was ignored by Xuanzong. She rarely went out of Penglai Pavilion and never saw the favored Jieyu.
Now she was standing in front of her, and maybe it was reflected by the cherry blossoms blooming behind her. Concubine De actually felt that Yu Jieyu, who gave birth to the tenth princess, was still the same as when she first entered the palace.
Time seems to have sealed away her beauty.
Although she has such a big tenth princess, Yu Jieyu, who is standing among the flowers and holding a rabbit, still looks like an innocent and charming girl.
Originally, she had nothing to do with Yu Jieyu, and Concubine De didn't want to embarrass her.
Aunt Pianzhang reminded her in her ear: "Your Majesty, except for the entourage she brings with her, there is no one around at the moment."
Concubine De suddenly came to her senses and remembered that his Yan'er had been humiliated by Li Sixu.
As a concubine, she took the initiative to let Yan'er get close to the tenth princess. Unfortunately, the little princess who was favored by the emperor looked down on her Yan'er and not only ignored her, but also humiliated her in every possible way.
In this case, Yu Jieyu couldn't blame her now that she bumped into her hand.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of De Fei's mouth: "According to Yu Jieyu, if you can't pull it, how should you fold the flowers?"
Yu Jieyu stuffed the rabbit to Nanny Wei who was following her. She reached a cherry blossom branch with her tiptoes, fixed the branch and folded it down. Only a few petals fell to the ground, and the branch was already folded in her hand. .
"Fold it this way so you won't lose the flower buds."
She happily handed the flower in her hand to Concubine De: "This flower is so beautiful, I give it to you!"
However, Concubine De did not pick up the flower she had folded. She focused her gaze on Yu Jieyu: "Of course you, a fool like you, are good at folding flowers. It's a pity that you didn't learn the rules well."
Concubine De stared at Yu Jieyu's master and servant with gloomy eyes: "The master doesn't know that you have to bow and kneel when you see me, and the slave doesn't know to remind you that since you don't know the rules, I must teach the slave for you. .”
Concubine De winked at Aunt Zhang, who pulled Yu Jieyu's flowers and stepped on the ground, then grabbed Aunt Wei who was hugging the rabbit.
"Kneel down, my wife will teach you the rules today."
Grandma Wei was holding the rabbit and couldn't free her hands, so she was suddenly pulled and fell to the ground.
The change in front of her happened so suddenly that Yu Jieyu didn't even care that the rabbit had let go after Nanny Wei fell down. She was so anxious that she stood in front of Nanny Wei: "Bad woman, you can't bully her."
"You guys are so bad, Yu'er broke off flowers and gave them to you, but you're still so mean!"
"The cherry blossoms in this Manna Palace were planted by the Emperor for me. It's interesting for you to break off my things and give them to me."
Concubine De told Nanny Zhang: "Since the master must stand in front of the slave, Nanny Zhang, please teach Yu Jieyu the rules for me."
Xuanzong believed that Concubine De's domineering temperament should change after being imprisoned in Luoyang Palace for a year.
He went to Penglai Pavilion once and saw that Concubine De was gentle and graceful. She was indeed different from before, so he asked her to assist the queen in hosting this Qujiang Banquet.
For the sake of the fourth prince, he gave her the dignity she deserved.
It's a pity that I still looked away after all.
Concubine De, who became as gentle as water in front of him, had a completely different look behind her back.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang was about to pounce on his fish, Xuanzong's face was extremely gloomy. He leaned against the railing of the viewing tower and spoke: "Who is Concubine De going to teach you about the rules? I want to ask, when did I say that? Did I plant the cherry blossoms in Ganlu Hall for you?"
