When it comes to Luoyang, the first reaction of people is often to think of peonies. This is not surprising. Since ancient times, there has been a legend that "Luoyang's peonies are the best in the world". Peonies have almost become synonymous with Luoyang, and the best place to see peonies is
The place is undoubtedly the Imperial Garden three miles outside the east gate of Luoyang City. Of course, that place is not an ordinary place. Normally, not to mention ordinary people, even the dignitaries of the court rarely enter the garden unless they
But there are exceptions, that is, during festivals, the imperial garden is always open for a few days to allow people all over the city to travel and have fun together. The Double Ninth Festival is such an important day.
It was late autumn, and the peonies had already lost all their leaves, leaving only countless dead branches. The gorgeous peonies were naturally invisible, but chrysanthemums were blooming all over the garden, yellow, purple, and red.
The dazzling scenery turned into a bright and boundless beauty. When people walked through it, their eyes were filled with gorgeous flowers, bursts of fragrance, and a unique taste. However, Li Xian obviously did not have this leisurely mood. Although people followed the crowd and walked through the sea of flowers, their eyes rarely dropped.
Instead of sitting on the flowers, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Li Xian came in plainclothes early in the morning, but he didn't come here for the chrysanthemums. In fact, Li Xian had never been very fond of flowers and plants. Whether it was a rich peony or a proud winter plum, under Li Xian
In Xian's eyes, there is not much difference. As for chrysanthemums, Li Xian does have a slight preference. Of course, this is not because Li Xian wants to imitate Tao Yuanming's self-admiration, nor is it because of the beauty of chrysanthemums when they are in full bloom.
It’s for someone who likes chrysanthemums—Zhao Qiong!
Qiong'er, where are you? Li Xian has walked around the garden several times, but he has never found Zhao Qiong's figure. He can't help but become a little anxious with anticipation, wishing that the garden would be filled with irrelevant people.
All of them were about to go out, but this was just a thought. Li Xian didn’t dare to do such an outrageous thing. Apart from being patient and continuing to look for it, Li Xian had no other good ideas.
.
Searching, searching again, and searching again, as time went by, more and more tourists came to the garden, and Li Xian became more upset, but he had no choice but to frown.
Looking around in the crowd, the way he looked around naturally attracted countless surprised looks. If Li Xian hadn't been so masculine and had a face full of righteousness, he would have been regarded as a climber.
The disciple came to see him. Even so, he was often looked down upon by others. Of course, he also attracted the envious looks of some young women. However, Li Xian had no intention of paying attention to the looks of others at this time. Others
Regardless of resentment or envy, Li Xian didn't care at all. He only had one thought in his mind - to find Zhao Qiong!
Damn it, this shabby garden is such a big deal, it’s boring! Li Xian walked around for a few times, and his physical strength was not in danger, but his mood was very high, and he felt quite frustrated, but what could he do? After all,
The storm at White Horse Temple had just passed, and Li Xianshi could not make any big move at this time. Let alone proposing marriage to Zhao Shaoyin's family, it was not appropriate to even go to his house. Inadvertently, he had no place to attract the censor.
If the charge of colluding with foreign ministers is impeached, the fun will be great. In fact, Li Xian came here today just because he wanted to secretly meet Zhao Qiong, but God didn't give him the face.
Li Xian could only do nothing but look at the sun, but the beauty was still nowhere to be seen. The last trace of luck in Li Xian's heart was completely gone, and he stamped his feet angrily and sulked
He walked towards the Yanbo Haomiao Pavilion occupied by his own palace.
"Miss, look, this chrysanthemum bush is green. It's so rare."
"Silly girl, this is the Green Heart Jade, but it's just a low-quality jade. However, the silver phoenix and feather flower next to it is well-shaped, pure white and not dazzling. It should be ranked as a high-quality jade."
"Wow, it's true."
…
Just as Li Xian was walking sadly, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind. As soon as he heard it, Li Xian froze instantly, his steps suddenly stopped, and his whole body was so stiff that he felt like he was covered with a thick layer of laughter.
The plaster is average.
It's her, it's really her, Qiong'er, my Qiong'er, you're here after all, are you okay? A voice wildly shouted, roared, and roared in Li Xian's heart, a strong wave of
Impulse surged rapidly in Li Xian's heart, but his body refused to obey him. No matter how anxious Li Xian was, he could not turn back. His whole body actually stood like a wooden and clay sculpture in the wind.
"Silly girl, don't look at it. The chrysanthemums here are all below the top grade. The really good chrysanthemums are all by the lake at the back. Let's go and see if they are okay?" Just when Li Xian was in a daze, Zhao Qiong's voice came out.
Passed it over again.
Don't go, no, Qiong'er, don't go!
What a nightmare feels like, that is, you can feel, hear, and see, but your brain can't control your body. At this moment, Li Xian was in such a state, but when he heard that Zhao Qiong was leaving, Li Xian's heart changed.
There was a sudden pain, and a stream of heat burst out from the Dantian, traveling along the meridians and straight into the mind like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds.
"Buzz..."
Under the agitation of Qi, Li Xian felt a roar in his brain, his tall body suddenly shook, and the extremely uncomfortable feeling of restraint was instantly broken. Amidst the sound of creaking bones, Li Xian finally
With great difficulty, he turned around and finally saw the lovely person he had longed for, and his eyes instantly became hazy.
"you you……"
Zhao Qiong is a proud and free and easy girl. She is proud because she has the capital of pride. Not to mention that she is the only daughter of Zhao Mingquan, Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture. She has been the one cared for by the whole family since she was a child.
With his extraordinary appearance, Zhao Qiong has the ability to ignore most people. As for being free and easy, that is because Zhao Qiong does not have too many desires and will not be shaken by external things. However, at this time, he was
When the strange man not far in front of her looked at him like this, Zhao Qiong suddenly felt flustered for no reason. She wanted to scold him, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out. She even whispered
Can't come up with a complete sentence.
"Qiong'er, my Qiong'er."
Looking at Zhao Qiong's exquisite face that he was so familiar with, Li Xian felt so much emotion, sadness, and excitement all intertwined together, but he couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his throat and a stream of blood.
It surged up and trickled down the corners of the mouth, forming a poignant and beautiful portrait.
"You, who are you? How do you know, how do you know the nickname of the slave family, you, you..."
Clearly feeling the deep affection in Li Xian's soft call, Zhao Qiong couldn't help but panic a little more. When she saw the blood dripping from the corner of Li Xian's mouth, Zhao Qiong's heart tightened instantly and hurt for no reason.
, couldn’t help but asked in a low voice.
"me……"
Seeing Zhao Qiong and Liu Ye's eyebrows frowning slightly, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little confused. He moved his lips and tried to explain, but for a while he didn't know where to start. He just stared at it blankly.
Zhao Qiong lowered her head in panic, her pretty face flushed to the base of her ears, but she couldn't bring herself to scold the other party for being rude. She just felt her heart beating like a deer.
"Hey, why are you like this? You're so careful. I'm going to report to the police. Humph, Miss, let's go!"
Zhao Qiong could endure Li Xian's attention and courtesy, but that didn't mean that others could too. At least the little maid next to her couldn't bear it any longer. She angrily stopped in front of Zhao Qiong and gave Li Xian a rude look.
He scolded him, took Zhao Qiong's hand, and left.
"Joan..."
Seeing that Zhao Qiong was about to leave, Li Xian immediately became anxious and opened his mouth to call out. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the maid raising her little fist in annoyance and shaking it at Li Xian, fuming.
He scolded angrily: "You disciple, don't pester my young lady. If you continue to pester me, be careful. My master will catch you and slap some boards on you so that you know how powerful you are!"
Disciple? Who? Me? Damn it, your master dares to hit us, I will choke you, you are right! Li Xian was made dumbfounded by the maid’s threatening words, but it’s not good
She was just like a little maid, so she had no choice but to shrug her shoulders with a grimace. Then she looked at the direction the two girls were going. Her heart moved and she couldn't help but smile. She stopped talking and watched the two girls walk out.
After a certain distance, he followed up slowly with the help of the crowd.
"Miss, who is that person? You are so brave. You dare to look at the lady like this. You are so shameless. Humph, if there weren't so many people here, I would not be able to spare him. No matter what, I would have to have someone deal with him."
That's it." The little maid dragged Zhao Qiong and ran for a certain distance. She looked back quickly and didn't see Li Xian coming up with the general. Then she stuck out her tongue, took a big breath, wrinkled her little nose, and reluctantly
He snorted and said something harsh.
"Um."
Zhao Qiong made a noncommittal sound, obviously absent-minded, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her silver teeth bit her red lips, her heart was full of doubts and puzzlements - Zhao Qiong was very sure that the young man must know her.
He was also convinced that the other party had deep feelings for him. This kind of feeling could never be the so-called love at first sight, but a true feeling of sharing hardships together. But the problem was that Zhao Qiong had searched through his memory and could not find the slightest impression of this person.
In other words, Zhao Qiong was convinced that this was definitely the first time she had met the other person. The reason was very simple. That person's handsomeness and handsomeness made him stand out everywhere. As long as he had seen him once, he would definitely not
Maybe I forgot.
Yingting? Handsome? Oh, this is all making you think! When Zhao Qiong thought of Li Xian’s masculine and handsome face, her face instantly turned red again, and she looked back guiltily, but she couldn’t
When I discovered Li Xian's figure, I couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, but immediately a strong sense of loss came to my heart. For a while, I didn't know whether I should look forward to Li Xian's reappearance.
"stop!"
Just when Zhao Qiong was feeling self-pity and conflict, a loud shout suddenly exploded, instantly frightening Zhao Qiong so much that her face turned pale...
