Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 51 Qionghua dark fragrance ([-])

Ni Tingxuan lifted the curtain and entered the corner room where the guards usually rested, and Mu Qinghan suddenly stuffed the things in his hands into his arms.Ni Tingxuan was taken aback, but he didn't see it clearly even after blinking, it seemed to be a piece of paper or something.

"What are you doing? What are you hiding? Could it be that you accepted the love letter from that little maid?" He asked jokingly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing happen." Mu Qinghan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Ni Tingxuan couldn't help being puzzled, just now he was just talking casually, he knew the temperament of his friends best, and he was never taboo on such topics.

"Just now you..." He was about to ask.

Mu Qinghan interrupted him: "It's nothing, I'm going out to patrol." As he spoke, he raised his sword and was about to walk out.

"Wait," Ni Tingxuan grabbed him and asked, "Qinghan, are you alright?" Thinking of Mu Qinghan's actions just now, he just felt indescribably suspicious. It looks like a sunny day, but in fact it is a dark tide. They are just little guards, and they must not be involved in these incidents.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Mu Qinghan forced a smile, broke free from Ni Tingxuan's hand, turned and walked out.

Ni Tingxuan didn't know what to say behind his back. These days, his friends have obviously been depressed. First, he lost his position as the commander of the guards because of the Tianxiangyuan assassin, and then there was another incident at home, and he was forced by the Shi family to call off the marriage. I heard that Mrs. Mu had fallen ill from anger.However, Shi Qian, the commander of the guards, is their immediate boss, and he can't see him when he looks up. Although Mu Qinghan is very popular among the guards, there are many guards who complain secretly for him.However, under Shi Qian's deliberate manipulation, the assigned errands have become more and more idle, making the originally cheerful personality more and more taciturn recently.

Ni Tingxuan looked anxious, but he was originally not good at words, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

Now that his fiancée has entered the palace again, she has been conferred the title of Jade Concubine as soon as she enters the palace. She is just around the corner, so don't have any unreasonable thoughts at this time.

The warm wind brings warmth, and now the gardens in the palace are thriving, with many flowers blooming, and the wind is blowing out fragrance, competing for splendor.Accompanied by the embellishment of fountains, lakes and rockeries everywhere, it is beautiful and elegant.

Thousands of weeping willows spit out fresh green, the fresh and tender branches and leaves stretch out, and the green jade-like flexibility sways gently with the wind, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

A gust of spring breeze blew, and little white catkins drifted by with the wind, like light snowflakes in winter. Mu Qinghan stood distractedly by the bank of the blue wave pool, looking at the magnificent scene of water and sky.

From this side, you can see the pavilions and pavilions on the opposite side. It is the newly renovated Shuyu Palace. The originally gorgeous and exquisite palace room is even more radiant after some new decorations. Even from the distant Bibochi This side can also feel the rich and peaceful royal style.

What are you thinking about?He looked down into the water.

You are just a little guard, why bother to think so much.

As for Shi Rouer, he only remembers that little girl who happened to visit Shi's house when he was young, and he hadn't seen that pink and jade girl for many years, and the appearance in his mind gradually faded away. fade.

Maybe for so many years, I have already been used to having a fiancée subconsciously, although when it comes to feelings, there is really nothing, except for the humiliation these days.

On that day, people from the Shi family came to the door, and their words were very polite, but the meaning could not be clearer. Now I am just a small guard, without any outstanding fame, even the deputy commander. They have lost their positions, and the young ladies in their family are doing better and better now, even Mrs. Dingguo of the Wang family is full of praise.I hope that the Mu family will forgive me for the sake of their past friendship. While talking, they presented a long gift list and the betrothal gift when they got engaged.

Now that the woman looked down on her, although Mu Qinghan was angry, she didn't delay, and immediately signed the divorce papers.

It's just that the mother was so angry that she lost her temper on the spot, and the future man and the gift were expelled from the house, and then fell ill.

When he saw the grown-up Shi Rou'er at the dinner that day, he could barely recognize her. To him, this fiancee was like a stranger.

But that green figure was still deeply engraved in the bottom of his heart, pulling his heartstrings, as eye-catching and eye-catching as the fresh green in early spring, growing stronger and spreading day by day.

She is so beautiful in green, just like the color of early spring.

Her smile is really bright and moving, and her dancing posture is like a fairy.

Although those bright and moving smiles, those graceful dancing postures are not for him, but for the Daqi Emperor sitting in the middle, for the golden figure and the bright dragon crown.

What does this letter mean now?

Tonight, at Zishi, I will go to the Qionghua Garden by the Bibo Pool to meet and ask for something.

Mu Qinghan wandered back and forth in a distracted state of mind, and the letter paper exuding a faint fragrance was unconsciously kneaded and deformed by him.

Qionghua Garden happened to be the garden that he was in charge of when he patrolled the night at night. It was located in the depths of the imperial garden, and the scenery was not outstanding among the gardens in the harem. It was rarely favored by concubines, and it was even less crowded at night.

What should I do myself?
When the lights are on, the palace at night is even more magnificent. The cold moonlight travels through the complex and overlapping countless pavilions, turns around the clusters of flower branches, and passes through the gently swaying willows, reflecting the gorgeous and hazy palace gauze. curtain.

A bright night pearl is inlaid on the window grille carved with the pattern of fairies flying to the sky. The white light diffuses in this blurred night, thick light and light shadow interweave and scattered.

Shi Rou'er was leaning on the soft couch, staring at the bead for a moment, then suddenly got up and said: "Hongxian, prepare my makeup for me, I'm going to Xifu Palace to visit Concubine Ni Gui."

"Niang Niang, at this time?" Hong Xian became confused.

"Do you still remember that inexplicable letter?" Shi Rou'er smiled, "I don't think that Mu Qinghan would have the guts to ask the concubine out privately, I think it's probably Ni Guifei's hands and feet this time. gone."

"Last time I plotted against Lian Jieyu in her palace and let her be punished for no reason. I must be very angry. Now I want to use such incidents to block and frame me. Besides her, the palace Who else in the world has such power, who can send the letter into my dressing box without anyone noticing?"

"Then why did the empress go to visit Concubine Ni Gui tonight?" Hong Xian asked puzzled.

"Huh, since this letter was delivered, the design and layout of Mu Qinghan's place must be indispensable, and it may be necessary to stay in the palace. Why don't you go visit Ni Guifei and let the imperial concubine to prove how good I am?" Innocent and self-confident," Shi Rou'er laughed, "Everyone's life will be long in the future, how can we not move around?"

Mu Qinghan walked through the shade of sycamore trees and weeping willows, and the faint fragrance of flowers fell on his shoulders.He walked into the most remote corner of the garden, where the cold moonlight shone on the stone tables and benches.

Because there has been no concubine for a long time, a faint layer of dust has accumulated on the stone table, just like Mu Qinghan's mood now, he can't even explain why he came here, and his reason is clearly reminding him not to get involved in this place. In the turbulent waves that you can see clearly, don't stay here, just let time flow as usual.However, when the footsteps of the watchman passed by here, the sound of only his footsteps made him walk in here by accident.

Sure enough, there was no figure in the empty and lonely garden, only the vibrant flowers and trees beside it, with a few drops of pure and crystal dew, which slipped from the green leaves from time to time and dripped onto the weeds that persistently spread from the bricks.

A long time has passed since the agreed time.Mu Qinghan walked into the stone bench and wanted to sit down, but suddenly something unexpected fell into his eyes.

It was a goose-yellow brocade handkerchief, left on the stone bench beside him, in the lonely dark blue and silver-gray colors, it was particularly eye-catching.That delicate color is like the thinnest flower, which makes people feel affectionate.

Mu Qinghan reached out to pick up the brocade handkerchief. The beautifully embroidered gold thread roses on it were obviously belongings of the imperial concubine. On one corner of the brocade handkerchief, the dark golden silk thread embroidered a jade character like a magnolia flower.

Is it her?Did she really come here?Mu Qinghan shook her head, maybe it was just her wishful thinking.This Fang Jinpa just didn't know which concubine accidentally dropped it.
