After a day of tossing, Yan Bing asked Zhao Er to go back to his home to take care of the moving matters, and made an appointment to send someone to pick him up and move his family to Tongshun City early tomorrow morning.
As for herself, she dragged her tired body to the east gate of the capital, asked for a stagecoach, and rushed back...
Others proposed marriage, which required at least three or four days of work, but she had done it all in one day today. She was a little drowsy while sitting on the horse, and even almost fell off the horse several times.
This group of secret guards were on tenterhooks all the way, and in the end they simply circled around her and ran after her.
Pedestrians on the road only saw the dust flying in the distance, and they looked curiously sideways, and saw more than twenty Black Brocade Guards, walking at a fast and neat pace, surrounded by a horse, galloping past in front of them, and on the horse's back,
There was also a girl lying snoring with her eyes closed...
Along the way, if the horse slows down, someone will nudge the horse's butt from behind. If it goes astray, someone in front will pull the reins.
When they arrived at the city gate, everyone dispersed, leaving only one leader, who gently pushed Yan Bing awake, then bowed and flew away.
Yan Bing rubbed his sore eyes and yawned, only to realize that he had arrived at Tongshun City. He couldn't help but smile. He turned over and dismounted, performed Qing Kung Fu, returned to the Duke's Mansion, opened the door, and said to Lingyue.
He said: "It's all done!" Then he got into the bed and fell asleep...
Lingyue looked at Yan Bing who fell into a deep sleep instantly with a puzzled look on her face, then smiled and gently helped her take off her skirt...
A night of silence.
Early next morning.
Yan Bing stretched and sat up from the bed. He glanced at Lingyue who was still sleeping soundly next to him. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he pinched her mouth for a while, and poked her nostrils with his little finger. It was not fun.
She was very happy until Lingyue turned over instinctively and slapped Yan Bing's chest with her right hand. Yan Bing climbed out of bed with a look of pain...
Damn it...
I almost didn't give me a shot to vomit blood...
Yan Bing complained while rubbing his chest.
It was originally flat...
What should I do if I get dented this time...
He took a look at his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Apart from a clear palm print in the middle of his chest, it seemed like nothing major happened.
After getting dressed, I took Qingxuan and prepared to go to the backyard.
But as soon as he left the room, he saw the cunning eunuch who announced the decree last time standing in the front yard, smiling at him.
Could it be...that the bounty has come down!!??
Thinking of this, Yan Bing hurriedly put on a business smile, walked up to him, and said politely: "Why did Eunuch Lin come so early? It's really hard work! Please come in quickly and I'll teach someone to make a pot of heat for Eunuch Lin."
Tea warms you up."
"No! No need! Duke Ding has killed this old slave," Lin Wanquan bowed, with a smile on his face. After standing up, he said softly: "Besides, Your Majesty summoned Duke Ding to the palace for a banquet, and the carriages and horses are still waiting outside.
I'm waiting...if it's later...I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the luncheon..."
Attending a banquet??
If you give me money, I will give you money; if you don’t give me money, I won’t give you money!
What kind of banquet are you going to for no apparent reason?
What a hassle...
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Lin Wanquan to wait outside. He went back to the house and put Qingxuan down. He tidied up his hair and clothes. Before going out, he asked a few guards to go to the capital to pick up Zhao Er's family.
, and then he was helped by Eunuch Lin to get into the carriage.
For Yan Bing, apart from chatting along the way, there were all kinds of financial inducements, trying to get something out of Lin Wanquan's mouth, but no matter how she asked, the old fox just smiled and said nothing, and finally got angry with Yan Bing.
I didn't even want to talk anymore.
After sitting for a while, I felt bored, so I opened the curtain and took a look, and suddenly I realized something was wrong...
Why did the carriage enter the palace through Xuanwu Gate!??
Go in here... and you'll find the harem!!!
Although she is now a girl...
But I still have the feeling of a tiger joining a flock of sheep.
My heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Emperor Xuansi...you are still careless!!
I will take this opportunity to have a good cup of tea with your harem beauties!!
Thinking of this, Yan Bing smiled mischievously and never lowered the curtains in his hands...
After looking for a long time, I saw nothing but a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I simply snorted and lowered the curtains again.
It's so well hidden...
Boring!
As time passed, the carriage drove for a while, then suddenly swayed and stopped.
Eunuch Lin outside the car whispered: "Mr. Dingguo, we have arrived. Please get out of the car and move to the corner tower of the Imperial Garden."
Royal Garden!?
Yan Bing suddenly became interested again. This is the place where concubines appear most often in costume dramas!!
Without saying anything, he turned over and got out of the car.
She is not that old-fashioned, but she is simply curious about how different the aesthetics of ancient palaces are from those of modern times!
It is said that in the Tang and Song dynasties, abundance was considered the beauty, while in the Ming and Qing dynasties, petiteness was the pride. So what would happen here...?
After Yan Bing got out of the car, he looked around, and in the end he was only left with greater disappointment...
Not to mention the concubines, there was not even a palace maid in the huge imperial garden. The grass was all yellow and the flowers were all withered branches. Except for dozens of twelfth lunar month plum blossoms that were blooming very beautifully, even the interior of the imperial garden was full of flowers.
The lake has been covered with a thick layer of ice...
Yan Bing then slapped his forehead and suddenly realized...
Damn it! Winter!!!
She practiced martial arts and didn't feel cold, so she forgot about the seasons. But for ordinary people, this is the twelfth lunar month of winter. No wonder everyone is huddled in the room and no one comes out. Hahaha, I actually forgot about this.
.
Eunuch Lin, who was beside "Ding Guo Gong", stepped forward and bowed, raised his hand and said: "If you keep going along this stone path, you will see the turret of the Imperial Garden. Please take a moment in the building."
Sit down, I need to return to the main hall first to report back to His Majesty."
Yan Bing nodded. At this time, Emperor Xuansi should still be in the morning court. It was normal for him to wait. He put his hands behind his back and walked forward along the stone path. Although there were no flowers and plants to see, this
The rockery with strange rocks in the garden really interested her.
Walking and looking all the way, after a while, I saw a small three-story building at the end. There was also a plaque hanging on it with the two characters "Corner Tower" written on it.
…………
I really thought turret refers to the building in the corner...
It turns out that’s really what my name is...
It’s really easy to understand, vulgar and elegant at the same time!
Yan Bing smiled bitterly and pushed the door open. There was no one in the building. There was only a round table, incense stands and potted plants all over the room, which was very simple and elegant.
But Yan Bing was not a simple and elegant person who admired flowers, so he went straight up the steps to the second floor.
I saw that the second floor was filled with pots of flower clusters, and the pungent aroma was stronger than that on the first floor, making people's brains ache.
It seems that this turret is mainly used as a "greenhouse" for the potted plants in the Imperial Garden to spend the winter...
I figured it out in my mind, so I went straight to the third floor.
As soon as I came out of the stairs, I instantly had the illusion that I had wandered into a tropical rainforest. I saw that the third floor was full of various dwarf trees planted in pots. They were lush and green, and the temperature and humidity were obviously good.
It is completely different from the previous two floors.
At least it doesn’t have that intoxicating floral fragrance anymore…
Yan Bing slowly walked to the window, raised his hands, pushed open the window, leaned his chin in front of the window sill, and looked at the panoramic view of the entire imperial garden. After looking at it for a while, he felt that it was not interesting, and thought about what if he would expose Xuan again.
Emperor Si had to pay for the flowers and plants in his house that were frozen to death, so he raised his hand and closed the window. At this moment, the sound of footsteps in the distance came to his ears...
