035 Journey south along the Yangtze River (1)

The Langyuan under construction has gradually taken shape. Ye Jiaoxi leaned against the red railing and looked quietly at the Langyuan not far away that was said to be built for her. The meaning in her eyes was unclear and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Orioles are singing all around. Although midsummer has not yet arrived, there is no trace of the coolness of early summer. Ye Jiaoxi is not wearing palace clothes, just casually wearing white clothes and gauze. The wind blowing on her face has warmed her up.

The black hair underneath is messy and wanton, but also extremely beautiful.

Zi Zhu behind her said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, you are a princess now. It is inevitable that servants will gossip if they see you dressed like this."

Ye Jiaoxi smiled lightly, "So what, I'm not in pain or itchy, they can say whatever they want, and besides, I'm not a real princess."

At this moment, Mu Ziling's voice was heard from behind, "It would be strange if you don't embarrass me completely with your behavior."

Zi Zhu hurriedly turned around, curtsied and pushed her aside, but Ye Jiaoxi said without looking back: "Then let me go. Anyway, it has been more than a month since the wedding, so you just said that the princess was sick and in bed, and then passed away

If you just say you died of illness within a few days, wouldn’t that be the end of it?”

Mu Ziling frowned slightly and said in a slightly cold voice, "Since you have promised to stay for three months, then it is March. One more day will not work, and one less day will not work."

"But I'm really bored. I stay in the house every day and can't go out. Apart from eating and sleeping, I can only go for a walk in the back garden. I have to wear uncomfortable clothes and a heavy headdress. Oh, it's really uncomfortable.

I know how those concubines of yours survived."

Mu Ziling walked slowly to Ye Jiaoxi's side, leaning on the red railing and looking at the Langyuan under construction, and said, "Do you like that Langyuan?"

Ye Jiaoxi was startled and didn't understand why he suddenly said this. She turned her head to look at him and said with a sweet smile: "You really built it for me?"

Mu Ziling nodded and smiled, "Otherwise for whom?"

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly felt in a trance. Although his words were playful, his smile was not as playful as usual. It was a mocking smile, as if he was pouring his heart out with tenderness, expressed in an extremely serious way.

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly remembered that day when she came out of the night banquet, she asked Mu Ziling: "Don't you often use those methods to make girls happy? Why do everyone say you are being unreasonable now? You don't even need to flatter Xiang Lin.

How about this?"

In the hazy night, she didn't see Mu Ziling's expression clearly, but she seemed to hear him smiling softly. For some reason, she felt that there was a trace of bitterness in the smile, but she didn't hear his answer for a long time.

After that, the Queen Mother called her, and after she dismissed the palace maid, she told her to be careful and leave early. However, after coming out of Cining Palace, she met Princess Rao. Seeing that she could not hide, she had no choice but to

Reluctantly saluting, Concubine Rao glanced at her with a cold expression and said: "The Seventh Princess is really capable. It is an eye-opener for me to have such a romantic person as the Seventh Prince fall under your pomegranate skirt.

"

Ye Jiaoxi felt a little headache, thought about it, and said: "As for the concubine, the prince left me and went to the concubine on the wedding night, and I was just a clown in front of the concubine." Although I went there that day.

When greeting her, she pressed Concubine Rao well, but she had a certain amount of restraint, and Ye Jiaoxi also understood that it would do no good to let Concubine Rao hold a grudge against her.

However, Concubine Rao snorted coldly, said "What a stupid head" and left her.

At that time, Ye Jiaoxi was very angry and felt a little baffled, but today when she looked at the built Langyuan, she couldn't help but think more about Mu Ziling's doting on her. This was for someone who pretended to be his bride.

It is indeed rare, and she also learned from Zizhu not long ago that Mu Ziling did not stay with any concubine during the period of indifference to her, but only rested in the study. However, she always felt that Mu Ziling's pampering was mixed

Unless he has other thoughts, he doesn't seem like such an infatuated person.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slight chill on his forehead. It turned out to be a gentle pat from Mu Ziling, and he said, "What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought that you are moved by me?"

Ye Jiaoxi said: "Don't be so self-righteous. I'm just thinking, do I have to stay in March? I'll eat your food and live your life. I actually have a very thin face, and I feel really bad for letting you suffer such a loss."

"How can you suffer when you are accompanied by a beautiful woman?"

Ye Jiaoxi chuckled, then sighed softly, "You are indeed used to wandering among flowers, and you have a whole set of methods to make women happy. But it's useless to me. It's too restrictive here. I

If you really can't stay here, just do it and let me go. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. Of course, if you ask me for anything, I will naturally go all out. After all, it's true that my senior brother kidnapped your bride.

I'm sorry for you."

"Don't think about it. You have to stay until March. If you feel bored, just go to Jiangnan with me."

"Ah? Jiangnan?" Ye Jiaoxi was surprised, "What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

"There are many bandits in the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have robbed official salt several times. The emperor ordered me to rectify them."

Ye Jiaoxi nodded, remembering what the Queen Mother said that night, knowing that Mu Zinan wanted to transfer him away from Kyoto, she couldn't help but give him a sympathetic look, but she heard Mu Ziling say: "You don't have to look at me like that, Jiangnan

It’s such a beautiful scenery, I can take the opportunity to have some leisure time, but you don’t want to go either?”

"Of course I'll go! I'm almost suffocated in the palace! But how long will I have to go? Can I not come back?"

Mu Ziling said: "I estimate that the problem of rogue bandits can be solved within a month. If the emperor gives permission, we can come back, so you still have to come back with me."

"What if the emperor doesn't agree? Maybe he plans to keep you in Jiangnan, so that you won't be an eyesore to him."

Mu Ziling glanced at her lightly and said, "This is not something you should worry about."

Ye Jiaoxi curled her lips and suddenly pointed to Langyuan and said: "Since it was built for me, should it be considered mine? Should you give me a house deed or something?"

Mu Ziling looked at her and shook his head and smiled: "This is in the palace, where is the house deed?"

"Then how can you prove that it's mine? In the future, when I leave the palace, won't this become yours again?"

Mu Ziling childishly tapped her folding fan on Ye Jiaoxi's forehead, "Don't pretend to be stupid. You know what I mean by building it for you, but you still say it's yours."

Ye Jiaoxi was dissatisfied and said: "Isn't it mine? Then why is it built for me?"

Mu Ziling looked at her and said, "If you stay in the palace, the entire palace will be yours."

Ye Jiaoxi turned her head sideways, her eyes flickered, and she stopped looking at him.

Mu Ziling didn't take it seriously and said, "I gave it a name, Liaoxi Garden, okay?"

"The moonrise is bright, and the people are outstanding?"

"It turns out you know. I thought you only knew about strangulation and warriors who are gone and never come back."

"Huh, I'm not illiterate."

Mu Ziling shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll leave for Jiangnan in three days. Don't forget to pack your bags. I still have documents to read, so I'll go back to the study first."

Ye Jiaoxi watched Mu Ziling's retreating back. He was dressed in black clothes today and seemed to have lost his usual cold style and blended into the warm colors of summer.

She murmured the poem:

The moon rises brightly, and the outstanding people and officials are there. The people are relaxed and graceful, and the hard work is quiet.

The moon is bright when it rises, and the outstanding people are happy. It is comfortable and sad, and the heart is tired.

When the moon rises and shines, the outstanding people are burnt. When Shu Yao is young, the hard work is miserable.
