Chapter 183 (1/2)
The peach blossoms of Qi are no different from those of Qin. If you have to say two differences, the color of red peach blossoms of Qi is more pure. It blooms earlier. Xue ronghua walks under branches full of flowers. The hairpin on the bun accidentally touched the branch. A few petals will fall down and fly into her arms.
Xue ronghua's eyes were full of burning peach blossoms. The peach forest in the imperial garden of the state of Qi opened for about ten miles. Every mile of the road was full of red peach blossoms. She walked for a long time. Pink or white peach blossoms are rarely seen.
I always think of Chu Zong song when I'm bored. He should be in Kyoto by this time. Xue ronghua reached out and folded a peach blossom. He didn't know whether Li xuse gave birth to a pair of princesses or a pair of princes. What's more, I don't know Zhao Jieyu's position in the palace and whether it will pose a bad threat to Li xuse. After thinking about it, the most anxious thing is the relationship between Chu Zongge and the emperor. It took almost half a year to go out of the house. Did the emperor have any other opinion on him.
”Who is it and where is it?”
Xue ronghua's fingertips trembled and shook off several petals. She looked behind her in surprise. A bright yellow figure stood under a tree with white peach blossoms in full bloom.
How did you meet Meng Qianzhong here. Xue ronghua quickly lowered his head for fear that he would recognize himself. ”See the emperor for your servant.”
Meng Qianzhong put his hands behind him and walked slowly over. ”Raise your face and show me.”
Xue ronghua's heart stagnated and raised his face.
A white peach petal fell between her eyebrows. Then he gently shook down. Meng Qianchong moved in his heart and reached out to catch the petals.
”Why does your voice sound so familiar? Which Palace are you from?”
Xue ronghua gritted his teeth, ”Zhong... Zhong Cui palace.”
Meng Qianchong's eyes flashed a surprise. ”You're Rosie, aren't you?”
Xue ronghua was stunned, ”I'm not...”
”Aren't you?” Meng Qianchong touched his chin. ”Get up and talk first. Who are you?”
”The maidservant is Xue ronghua, the female official around imperial concubine Chen.”
Meng Qianchong frowned, ”isn't the female officer around imperial concubine Chen Rosie?”
”So is the slave. The slave came with the princess from the state of Qin,” Xue ronghua thought for a moment, and it was better to increase his identity. ”The slave is the prospective Princess of Duanwang.”
”Oh,” Meng Qianchong said with a meaningful smile, ”the prospective Princess of Duanwang has become a female official in my palace.”
Xue ronghua smiled but said nothing. She quietly looked at Meng Qianchong. He was still as fierce as he was many years ago, but there was more vicissitudes and fatigue between his eyebrows. The imperial court without loyal ministers and good generals seemed difficult to deal with. His temples had been dyed white with a few strands of hair.
Meng Qian glanced at her again. ”Are you the one I saw at the gate of Huayang palace with your imperial concubine that day?”
It turned out that he was interested in Rosie for this reason. He mistook her for Rosie. Xue ronghua replied without hesitation, ”it's a slave.”
Meng Qianzhong sneered, ”it seems that I recognize the wrong person.”
”It was the maidservant who offended the emperor and the imperial concubine that day,” Xue ronghua saluted Yingying. ”Please forgive me.”
”It doesn't matter. I said it didn't matter that day,” Meng Qianchong curved his lips. ”I wonder if the prospective princess has time. Can you follow me around the peach forest?”
Xue ronghua didn't want to tangle with him, but considering the good opportunity to spy on his ideas at this time, he gladly agreed.
”Do you like red peach blossoms?” Meng Qianzhong nunuzui said to the peach blossom branch in her hand. ”The imperial concubine also likes red peach blossoms.”
”In fact, maidservants prefer white peach blossoms,” Xue ronghua smiled. ”White peach blossoms are more fresh and pleasant than red peach blossoms.”
Meng Qianzhong looked at her with great interest. ”There were many white peach blossoms in the palace before, but there are not many now.”
That's because Su Rushuang knew that empress Mu liked white peach blossoms best, so she cut them off. Xue ronghua sighed softly in his heart, ”the red peach blossom is better than the empress in the palace.”
They walked in the garden for a while. Meng Qianzhong looked at Xue ronghua's steps and asked strangely, ”you seem to be familiar with the route in the palace, as if you have lived here for a long time.”
Xue ronghua looked down and smiled. ”In her spare time, I often explore the way in the palace, get familiar with the routes of various places, and be ready to go out to play with imperial concubine Chen.”
”Very thoughtful. How's Princess Chen's fetus? I haven't seen her for a long time. I hope she won't blame me.”
”Imperial concubine Chen doesn't have one. Her fetal appearance is very stable, and her appetite is much better after some conditioning. During the day, she and the palace maid make a belly pocket for the child and talk with the child at night,” Xue ronghua couldn't help laughing. ”We all say that imperial concubine Chen will give birth to a prince who is very good at eating.”
Meng Qianzhong looked at her smiling, and the corners of his lips couldn't help cocking up. ”I'm relieved to have you take care of me. I'll come to Zhaoyun hall to see concubine Chen tomorrow night and have dinner by the way.”
”Yes, the maidservant will tell her when she goes back.”
Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows. ”Why are you still the prospective Princess of Duan Wang? If Duan Wang leaves an unmarried fiancee in the state of Qi, he is not afraid of anything wrong. You are not afraid that he will marry a new princess in the state of Qin?”
Xue ronghua smiled and said, ”no, the maidservant and Duanwang both have each other in their hearts, and they are the only one of each other in the world. They will never make any mistakes.”
”It sounds beautiful,” Meng Qianzhong's eyes gradually deepened. ”I'm a lot older for you.”
”What the maidservant said is just something that children love,” Xue ronghua pursed his lips. ”The emperor will be happy after listening to the picture.”
