Chapter 22: The White Jade Courtyard
Ye Liuyun is not an official or a prince, but he can enter and leave the palace at will, even the royal study, play chess with the emperor, and have meals. These are benefits that even those princes do not have. Anyone who sees him must address him respectfully.
Mr. Ye! If he doesn’t want you to notice him, he can hide in the crowd. Even if you pass by him, you won’t pay attention to him. If he wants you to pay attention to him, even if he is with the princes, whoever
It's impossible to ignore the brilliance in him.
"Miss! Miss!" Qingqing looked at Qiu Liyue and said nothing for a long time, thinking that she was worried about the recent rumors.
Seeing Qingqing's worried look, Qiu Liyue curled up her lips and said, "Okay, go tell those three girls that you don't have to go out today. By the way, whose post did you receive in the mansion today? Forget it, you go directly.
Tell the second lady that I want to go out with her today, I think she will be very happy."
During these days, Qiu Lixing often invited her to attend banquets, but she politely refused them all. Today, she took the initiative to send them to her door. I think Qiu Lixing would be very happy.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to Yun Ruo that he sent her to Ting Yuxuan. Not to mention that Xin'er only had to lift her leg to climb out of the wall. After getting the key to the south corner door, it was extremely convenient for Youyou and Zijin to get in and out.
, I have been out every day for the past month, and I have not been discovered even once.
Qiu Lixing was overjoyed when she learned that Qiu Liyue wanted to attend today's banquet with her, because the person hosting the banquet today was none other than Princess Lixia, her friend she had worked so hard to make, and Princess Lixia had a special arrangement today.
.
Princess Lixia is the daughter of the current emperor's elder sister, Princess Minghui. She is usually aloof and has a very high vision. Princess Minghui is very fond of her. Therefore, although she has been in the hairpin for two years, she has not yet recruited a county horse.
"Sister, where do you think Princess Lixia will hold today's banquet?" Qiu Lixing could not help but show off excitedly as soon as she got on the carriage.
"Where is it located?"
Qiu Lixing pretended to smile mysteriously, and then said slowly, "Sister, do you know about Baiyu Mountain in the south of the city?" Then, before Qiu Liyue could speak, she continued, "There is a White Jade Villa on Baiyu Mountain, but
It is a royal place, and ordinary people cannot enter it casually. Princess Lixia specially held a banquet in that white jade courtyard today and invited me to visit. It is said that there is a hot spring in this white jade courtyard, so there is
The flowers, plants and fruits grown there ripen earlier than in the outside world. Although it is only April, there are already many fresh fruits available for picking."
"Then Princess Lixia is hosting a fruit banquet today?" Qiu Liyue asked pretending not to know. An Xiaoman and Ji had already mentioned Baiyu Courtyard to her that day, but she didn't expect that she
There is also a chance to go and have a look.
"No! I heard from Princess Lixia that although it is only April now, the beautiful cherry blossoms planted around the hot springs are now in full bloom, and what is even more rare is that the seven-color pansy trees carefully cultivated by Princess Minghui are also in bloom.
Flower, it is said that there are only a handful of pansy flowers in the world that can bloom." Qiu Lixing was very proud of being able to learn so much information in advance, so Qiu Liyue asked, and she said
heap.
After saying that, he couldn't hide his proud glance at Qiu Liyue, "When we arrive at Baiyu Courtyard in a while, I will introduce Princess Lixia to my sister."
On the official road leading to the top of Baiyu Mountain, carriages were circling up one after another. From time to time, young gentlemen in gorgeous clothes passed by on horseback. It can be seen that Princess Lixia indeed invited a lot of people today.
People come to admire this rare seven-color pansy in the world.
When Qiu Liyue arrived at Baiyu Courtyard, there were already carriages gathered at the door. As soon as a few people got off the carriage, a maid came up to greet Qiu Lixing in a familiar manner, and then led a few people to the Courtyard.
Although this White Jade Villa is called a Villa, it is completely different from the usual Villas. It only uses white stones from Baiyu Mountain to surround a courtyard. There are no carved beams or painted buildings in the courtyard, but some pavilions and pavilions built along the mountain and terrain.
, if it were called White Jade Garden, it would be more appropriate.
As soon as she stepped into the White Jade Courtyard, Qiu Liyue was immediately enveloped by the overwhelming beauty of cherry blossoms. Looking around, there was a sea of flowers everywhere, a vast expanse of flowers.
The blooming period of this beautiful cherry blossom is in May. Although this place is on the edge of the hot spring, it borrows the light of the hot spring. Therefore, the beautiful cherry blossom here blooms a month in advance. And this beautiful cherry blossom is different from
Other flowers have a very long flowering period. The beautiful cherry blossoms in the outside world can bloom from May to November, but the beautiful cherry blossoms in Baiyu Villa can bloom from April to December.
The beauty cherry trees are densely bushed, and the flowers are colorful, including white, red, blue, snow-green, and pink. Walking along the path among the flowers is like walking on the clouds in the sea of flowers.
There was a look of surprise on the young lady's face.
"I have met Princess Lixia!" Qiu Lixing saluted a woman in bright clothes, and then looked at Qiu Liyue, "Sister, this is Princess Lixia. Princess Lixia, this is my sister Qiu Li
moon."
"I have met Princess Lixia!" Qiu Liyue blessed Princess Lixia in accordance with the ceremony.
"Humph!" Princess Lixia just glanced at Qiu Liyue, snorted coldly, pulled Qiu Lixing and left.
Seeing the cloud-like skirt floating away from her eyes, Qiu Liyue's dark eyes couldn't help but flash, Princess Lixia was very hostile to her!
"Why did you bring her here?" Princess Lixia complained to Qiu Lixing a little dissatisfied.
Qiu Lixing whispered with an embarrassed look on her face, "I can't help it. After all, she is my sister. She threatens and begs me. I have rejected her several times. If I reject her again this time, I will
I’m afraid I’ll cause some trouble.”
Princess Lixia's bright eyes flashed with a hint of calculation, she glanced at Qiu Lixing who looked aggrieved and said, "Don't worry, I will vent my anger for you later."
Qiu Lixing held back the joy in her heart and said cautiously, "Isn't this bad?"
"You are just too soft-hearted, that's why she keeps bullying you..."
Among the clusters of beautiful cherry blossoms, there were some brocade stools and round tables with pineapple flowers and trees placed in twos and threes. When the acquaintances of the wealthy ladies and young gentlemen got tired of admiring the scenery, they gathered together to comment on the beautiful scenery.
It's just that wherever Qiu Liyue goes, she is mostly greeted with disgusted looks. This shows that Qiu Lixing has worked hard in the past month.
"Liyue! Come here!" A loud shout attracted the attention of all the ladies.
