"The struggle in the harem is more intense than in the palace. The empress is now in a high and powerful position, so it is inevitable that some people will covet her. We should be more careful."
Concubine Yun smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
There was still 30% of the way to the fork in the road, so Li Luo turned around and said with a smile, "I wonder if the soil and water will not be suitable for me if I return to Zhuocheng this time?"
"It's not bad." Concubine Yun glanced at Li Luo, sighed quietly, and opened her red lips slightly. She didn't know what she wanted to say but stopped between her teeth.
Li Luo looked back at Chu Ying'er, who was still following a few feet away, and said harmoniously: "Why don't you bring more guards and maids with you?"
"What's the use of carrying it? I'm afraid the last thing you need to worry about now is meeting an assassin."
Li Luo touched the tip of his nose but did not answer.
Concubine Yun continued: "Your Majesty the Ninth Prince, don't blame me for being so pretentious. I have a shallow foundation in the inner garden of the palace. I only have the name of Virtuous Concubine, but I don't have the actual status of Virtuous Concubine. Even if I am not called Step by Step Jingxin, I am still called
It's time to walk on thin ice.
Although the Yizhou people have financial resources, they are beyond our reach and their identity is somewhat obscure, making it difficult for them to enter the court. I have no choice but to rely on His Highness the Ninth Prince's reputation to protect myself. Don't blame me."
Li Luo listened quietly, his thoughts unclear, and consoled him: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Your Majesty is favored by the Emperor. If anything happens, the Emperor will naturally not turn a deaf ear. A little attention should be able to avert the danger."
"I know that you have always acted like this, impartially. I just told you in advance. You should not respond. I will always be like this. At worst, I will pay you back in full in the future." Yun Feibei.
Teeth clenched lightly, and he spoke every word calmly and delicately.
Li Luo was slightly stunned and sighed secretly. He really couldn't help himself in the court.
When the fork in the road was approaching, both of them were silent. When they reached the parting point, Concubine Yun suddenly stopped. Li Luo had no choice but to stop with Concubine Yun and stand aside quietly.
Concubine Yun looked away and whispered: "What I said today is half true and half false, so be careful."
Li Luo responded, bowed, and quietly left. After taking three steps, he heard Concubine Yun calling from behind him: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince."
Li Luo turned around and looked at Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun's smile was as bright as a flower and as full as water, and she said sweetly: "Congratulations."
Li Luo smiled and saluted, saying: "Thank you very much." After saying that, he bowed to Chu Ying'er and drifted away without stopping.
At the beginning of the lanterns, in the west of the city, it is raining and the clouds are shining.
Li Luo looked carefully at this unique and elegant teahouse. Li Xuanxu sent people to inform him that this place was chosen as a gathering place for everyone. For a moment, he never imagined what kind of scene it would be.
The teahouse in front of you is not very luxurious, nor is it very big. In the west of the city where dragons and snakes are mixed, it is only middle-class at best.
It's quite elegant. There is another kind of loneliness amidst the hustle and bustle, a quietness that seems to be glitzy and misty. In a trance, it's like a string of raindrops accumulated on the tiles quietly sliding down and hitting the banana leaves, or maybe
It splashed on the bluestone beside the road steps, and a few more beads flew far away, falling into the puddles, making a tinkling sound, long and distant in the endless noise, covering the voices and laughter, quietly dripping.
In my heart, there is a different kind of loneliness in the quiet place.
The wooden beams and bamboo walls are simple yet exquisite, and the exquisiteness is also hidden in its clumsiness. Although it is not as majestic as the 33rd floor in the east of the city, it has its own artistic conception that cannot be found elsewhere.
As soon as he arrived in front of the building, palace guards came forward to greet him and sent Li off to the building. The huge Chaoyu Muyun Tower was completely surrounded by the palace guards. Although there were many passers-by, they only dared to sweep up.
He hurried away after just one glance, with no one stopping to visit.
Li Luo walked up the stairs. There were three floors in the teahouse. There were palace guards downstairs. Seeing Li Luo upstairs, they all said respectfully: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince."
Li Luo returned the greeting with a smile and waved his hands to signal everyone to help themselves. There were palace servants in the building who led the way and climbed to the third floor.
The third floor is divided into two halls. The one on the right is empty, and on the left is a pavilion. The two pavilions on the left and right are separated by screens and green trees, which is a painstaking effort.
The brocade curtains are slowly rising, and in the middle is a ten-foot-long wooden path. Although they are on the same floor, they are clearly separated and there is no need for others to disturb them.
On the left side of the pavilion is a book about the moon, and on the right side is a book about looking at the moon.
By the time Li Luo climbed up the stairs, people could already hear people chatting and laughing in the Yiyue Pavilion. Although there was no sound in the right pavilion, one could see the shadows of people inside. It seemed that the soldiers of the imperial army had been deployed everywhere to protect the safety of all the princes.
Li Luo raised his head and glanced at the words written on the plaque, then walked gently to the door. The palace guards pushed open the door. Li Luo looked into the room and saw that everyone had arrived, but he was the last one.
Seeing Li fall into the house, Li Xuanxu laughed and said: "Lao Jiu, I'm waiting for you, come and sit down."
Li Luo cupped his fists and saluted, and replied apologetically: "Brother, I have been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, I know you have a lot to do, so my brothers don't have to be polite."
"Brother Ninth, come and sit here." Li Xuanmin was very happy and stood up and pulled Li Luo over.
Li Luo smiled and patted Li Xuanmin on the shoulder, then sat down casually.
The pavilion is very spacious, with stoves all around. It is a cold night in early spring, but it is as warm as summer here, and I don't feel the slightest chill.
Li Xuanxu is sitting in the middle, the fourth prince Li Xuanying is on the left, and King Hui, who is just seen today, is on the right. On the left are the sixth prince, Prince Jing, Li Xuanke, the eighth prince, Prince Deng, Li Xuansi, and on the right, the seventh prince, Li Xuanci, Li Luo and the tenth son, Li Xuanmin.
Sitting together, I am accompanied by Princess Wuyang. She is dressed in a smart outfit tonight, and she does look somewhat charming and heroic.
The pavilions are simple but not complicated, and there are not too many calligraphy and painting decorations. The few paintings are extraordinary and echo the status and power of the people living in the hall.
Everything is designed to highlight the guest status in the pavilion. Unexpectedly, there is a suspicion that it is superfluous and overshadows the guest. The owner here really understands that the world is like a powerful person, and every horizontal and vertical line is unique.
The floor of the pavilion is covered with a gold silk embroidered carpet. The workmanship is extremely high-quality, and the silk threads are of various colors. The combination is quite decent, but it is not confusing. If it is said to be gorgeous, Yiyue Pavilion should be the most gorgeous.
There are skilled craftsmen working hard on the roof. It is different from ordinary pavilions. It is actually in the shape of a full moon. With the bright moon in the sky, sparse stars accompanying it, and light clouds, the layers are stacked and well-proportioned, as if you are in the night sky.
Below, with the sky as the curtain and the earth as the mat, the wild sky is low with trees, the wind is clear and the moon is close to people, there is a cave in the vast place, but in the wrong mind, it seems that I am in the cave. In a corner, there are endless things.
feel.
Meditation, leisurely thinking, and enlightenment complement each other, but the distinguished guests come one after another and return happily. I don't know how many people on this balcony have to take a leisurely look.
On the side near the door, there are several green leaves and green trees, surrounded by thin water under the trees, which is light and lively, with the meaning of emptiness and tranquility.
The water divides when it meets rocks and gathers when it meets swamps. There are subtle ripples on the water surface from time to time. I have not carefully checked whether there are a few fish wandering among them.
If there is, this water will become the world of fish, and this night, Yiyue Pavilion will be the world of all Dagan princes. (To be continued.)
