Chapter 111

He and Yu, is not return.

The emperor suddenly thought of Empress Zhang, not seen her for a long time, did not take her out of the palace to stroll, do not know how she is trapped in the Chengqian Palace.

She is also a person who loves and cherishes flowers, never pin flowers, can not bear to fold the flowers in full bloom, just for a moment of good-looking hair.

The emperor is in a trance, happened to hear the king of Li and the king of Qi discuss the origin of this garden, then asked the British public: “This garden is twenty years ago to reward you for that?”

The Duke of England replied, “Exactly, Your Majesty has a good memory.”

“Such a beautiful garden, married off to the Yuhang Mansion, you also spare?”

“All of my old ministers were gifted by His Majesty, and now that the garden is under the name of the Yü Wang family, it is considered to be a return to the original family.”

“Haha, now I’ll see who dares to say you’re a roughneck, and your ability to speak is almost as good as the Chinese Minister’s.”

The emperor’s heart was very happy, and only then did the people dare to joke about it.

It wasn’t long before we arrived at the South Lake, where a boat driver and boatman were waiting on the boat.

Zhou Xian Yang was the first to step onto the boat, helping His Majesty and the Seventh Imperial Uncle to take their seats, followed by the rest of the imperial sons. There were many male guests, so they took six boats.

Rong Xiangmian accompanied the Empress Dowager and the Princess, and took another four boats to start the lake tour.

On the surface of the lake, the breeze is soothing, the water wave is slightly swinging, so cozy. Blue sky and white clouds reflecting a few pavilions and pavilions, the world’s best painter is also difficult to describe the scenery of the case.

The empress dowager took Rong Xiangmian’s hand and asked her to introduce herself one by one. If there is a very like, the boat will stop by the shore, each place has a water-friendly walkway, you can go up to visit.

Each house is prepared with snacks, as well as fruit tea placed in the well water to cool down, ready for enjoyment.

The empress dowager is too old to eat cold food, looking at the young girls eating, envy very much.

Rong Xiangmei sent a honey floating crisp naihua, the empress dowager smiled and said: “good exquisite, I am trying to eat this mouth, difficult for you to think.”

Princess ate sweet honeydew melon, said in passing praise: “Yu Wangfei really will do things. I originally thought, this hot day who stroll garden? No less than to stay two quarters of an hour on the home to go. Unexpectedly, they arranged so properly, and not tired and cool, what to have what.”

“Exactly.” Mrs. Yongxiang Hou laughed: “Wangfei is still a few years younger than me, but she is so sophisticated in her work.”

Rong Xiangshi could not help but say, “This is all the idea that Your Highness, and my father, mother, elder brother and sisters-in-law came up with together.”

“You, don’t be modest.” Sun Mingyue was originally very worried about Rong Xiangxian, but now she is relieved, and jokingly coaxes, “Next time the Yunwang Mansion hosts a banquet, I will definitely go to the Yulong Mansion to ask for advice.”

The people you a word I a word, lively chatting up.

The Princess asked someone to hand her a cup of fruit tea, “Don’t just greet us, have a cup yourself.”

Rong Xiangmian smiled and took it, just passed it to her lips, shocked to realize that it is not right. This fruit tea, actually through the silk of peach juice flavor.

She is allergic to peaches, in her last life, someone tried to poison her with this, causing her body to be red and swollen, difficulty breathing, fortunately, the doctor tried his best to rescue her, so she didn’t lose her life.

After that, she was particularly wary of the flavor. In this life, Yu Wang Fu and Jing Yi Yuan never had peaches, how could this fruit tea be mixed with peach juice?

In front of the crowd she was not able to think about it in detail, Zhen Ru, who was serving on the side, carried a tray and softly said, “Your maple dew drink, if you don’t drink it, it will get hot.”

Rong Xiangmian glanced at her, not moving to replace this one, signaling her to keep it. Resting for a moment, he continued to greet everyone as they rose.

Just like this, they stroll around the garden for a while and turn back to cruise.

After the boat passed under a bridge, it suddenly plunged into the depths of a large lotus flower. Lotus bushes specially left a gap between the boat.

It was the time of the year when the lotus flowers were in full bloom, the fluffy lotus leaves and brilliant lotus flowers were so close that they could be reached.

Princess Qing laughed: “Weekdays also enjoy the lotus, but never so close to enjoy playing, Yu Wangfei can really have feelings.”

Rong Xiangmian smiles, “This is the handiwork of a gentleman recommended by my sister, Guan Yue.”

Hearing her say this, many noble families began to inquire about this person, wanting to invite him to pen their own gardens.

The boat slowly went through the lotus bushes, a piece of pink lotus in full bloom, reflecting the pavilion on the water, extraordinarily nice.

“This pavilion, is it for enjoying flowers?” Empress Dowager’s wife was fond of it, Rong Xiangshi understood: “Exactly, Empress Dowager, let’s go up to the evening boat pavilion to sit down?”

The Empress Dowager immediately nodded her head. After all the people enjoy the lotus, and then stroll for half an hour, the boat from the lake on both sides of the shore, male and female guests, were led up to the Kun Yu Xuan and Feng Ming Xuan, where they dined.

Rong Xiangmian is greeting the guests, Feixue suddenly close to her side, seems to have something to say.

She found an excuse to go out, Fei Xue immediately reported back: “Just now Zhen Ru told me about the fruit tea is different, I have asked the kitchen to make fruit tea and on the tea of the people, they said that there is absolutely no problem with the stuff, the entire Wang Fu and Jing Yi Yuan are not peach. The only time it could have been mixed with peach juice was when it was placed in the well to cool, dripping in peach juice brought in by outsiders.”

Rong Xiangmian didn’t even need to guess who it was. Other than her family, who would know that she couldn’t eat peaches.

Fei Xue again led her to the vicinity of the wigwam, where Li Qingjia stood behind a rock and said, “Your Highness, there was just a person sneaking towards the kitchen, and let the slave girl catch him in the act. I heard from the people of the State Duke’s Mansion that it was one of the second class slaves under Madam, called Laifu, who was guarding the well and water tanks this day, but was carrying a flint on his body.”

This one set after another, Rong Xiangmian pressed back his anger: “I know. Do you know my sister-in-law’s accompanying room, mother Wen?”

“I know, she often comes to explain her errands these days.”

“You take this matter, tell mama Wen that the people of the State Duke’s House should let her take care of it, and tie him up and throw him in the firewood room. Then go about your business.”

Li Qing’s family promised to go, Rong Xiangmian returned to Feng Ming Xuan, the empress dowager was praising with Liu: “This daughter of yours, ah, is an extremely proper person. Knowing that I’m getting older, even the food is specially prepared a soft and chewy one.”

“This is all proper, being the granddaughter-in-law of the empress dowager, how can I not be dutiful and filial?” Liu took out her hostess’s style. Today in the capital in front of a group of noble families to get face, straight to call her some years ago, the British government family decline of the stifling are swept away.

Rong Xiangmian pondered, this time Yu Wang Fu and the Duke of State House arrangements, although the lady handed over to the sister-in-law to take care of, but in general also asked. She would never send someone to the kitchen alone. She would also not cause trouble, after all, today’s feast was related to the decency of the State Duke’s Mansion.

She glanced at Rong Xiangzhi, this time she would not tolerate any more, after the banquet, she would settle the score.

After lunch, the people moved to the nearby Qixia Pavilion. Sitting on the porch, opposite is a lotus flower lining the beauty of the evening boat pavilion. At one time, the water came from the sound of strings and bamboo.

The Empress Dowager reacted as soon as she heard it, “This is the Bihai Jie.”

“Mother’s ear is really good.” The eldest princess laughed.

Only to see that the two Yu-ling in full makeup had already placed themselves on the pavilion and started singing. As the plot unfolded, the youkai walked around the pavilion, down to the lotus pond, and onto the bridge. When they reached the most exciting part of the song, they had already come to the front. Even the hemline of the wind and throat breath sound, all seem to feel for people.

The Empress Dowager is very interested, to be a song sung, and immediately commented: “Although I have seen the play, but in the past are sung on the stage. Today, this Bihai record, but with this scene, not like a play, like a real na.”

The second play is even more lively, the clown laughing and cursing, making the audience laugh, and finally even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor into the play, full of what: “Today, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty driving Jing Yi Yuan, to be I went to dip the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings of the blessings, the tube than the gods worship Buddha hundred times ah!”

The Empress Dowager laughed heartily. The emperor saw the empress dowager rarely so happy, then immediately sent a decree to reward the theater troupe.

The crowd has never seen such a play before, some find it fresh and interesting, while others feel that King Yu and his wife are acting out of character and without rules. But His Majesty the Empress Dowager liked it, so she naturally complimented them.

After a few more plays, the garden tour continues. After half of the tour, the hundred theater troupe that was seen outside the Huan Yu gate appeared on stage.

The guests did not go ashore, so they sat on the boat and watched the performance on the shore. The boat moved slowly, from one program to another, so lively.

The emperor in earlier years had been in the fiefdom traveled around the world, seen the kind of walking the streets, no stage, go along with the hundreds of theater performances.

Just since the palace, the form of watching the hundreds of juggling is fixed. Fancy less, familiar faces, no great fun. At the moment, on the cruise ship with the children and grandchildren, not to mention how happy.

As usual, King Kai has no eyesight and complained: “Fourth brother, what do you think, let this kind of folk juggling troupe to perform, so that they can see the face of the dragon. In the future, they go to walk the river again, but also take to the father to perform over say mouth, is not the father and the grass people to see the same play ……”

Words have not finished, the emperor “hum” a sound, Kai Wang immediately realized that the wrong words, a moment the atmosphere is a little awkward. Zhou Xian Yang said: “This troupe is the second day of my marriage to the princess, by chance to watch outside the Huan Yu door, see even the king’s residence do not want to go back. I’m a rough man, I can’t think of that much, when I see something good, I naturally think of offering it to my father.”

When these words came out, the emperor instantly remembered the storm in Chongzheng Hall shortly after their wedding, subconsciously glanced at King Li, and saw him hanging his head.

For a while, the atmosphere in this boat was even heavier. King Kai’s seven year old child didn’t care about this. Hong Yi had never seen this kind of bustle before, holding a snack specially made for him, he forgot to eat it, his eyes went straight as he watched, pulling Zhou Xian Yang’s hand, “Fourth Uncle, that top pole man is so powerful, I want to go over and watch!”

Zhou Xian Yang let the boat dock and picked Hong Yi up, crossing one foot to the shore so that he could watch from a distance. King Kai watched from the boat, his heart tightened for fear that something might happen to his son.

The Emperor saw his nervousness and said, “Xian Yang is a stable man, don’t worry.”

King Kai was read his mind, and smiled sarcastically.

The Empress Dowager also saw the scene of uncle and nephew having fun together and smiled, “Xian Yang will definitely be a good father in the future.”

Consort Kai Wang picks up the conversation and asks, “Fourth sibling, don’t you want to hurry up and give King Yu a little son?”

Rong Xiangxian didn’t say anything and just smiled coyly. This sister-in-law, see her to urge to give birth to a child, there is no business to do, annoyed to death.

The Empress Dowager smiled on the side: “Princess Li you have to give your younger siblings a head start first.”

Li Wangfei smile for a moment, and then hmmm, no one place dead gouge out a glance of Kai Wangfei. Just know to fool around with her son, no business. Li Wang Fu now has two side consorts, one of them is already pregnant, Li Wang Consort was already unhappy in her heart, and it was only because Qi Wang Consort wanted to squeeze Rong Xiangmian, causing her to be pulled out again.

Hundred theater performance is very wonderful, soon these dark surges were cheered to cover up. The atmosphere of the guests was relaxed, and the emperor and empress dowager said that they would reward those who participated in the performance. Seeing that today’s trip came to an end, the string in Rong Xiangmian’s heart gradually loosened.

At this time, she suddenly heard a shriek sounded behind her, when she turned around, she only saw that Xiangqi was swaying at the edge of the boat, her body had already deviated outside of the boat, and she was about to fall into the water.

Why did she suddenly come up behind herself? Wouldn’t want to plant evidence, right?

Several thoughts flashed through Rong Xiangshi’s mind, while quickly reaching out to pull her arm and shouted out, “Sister!”

Unfortunately, Xiang Zhi’s entire body was outside the ship’s side, the sinking force was too great, Xiang Xiang saw’s center of gravity was unsteady, and even followed along and fell into the water.

At the moment of entering the water, his body was cold.

Rong Xiangmian originally water is general, panic foot cramp, choked several mouths of water.

She vaguely heard on the shore of a hundred theater noisy drums and music suddenly stopped, mixed with a few sounds of female relatives shouting for help.

The body continues to sink, Xiangmian has been unable to breathe, close to the time of suffocation, a familiar figure emerges from the blue water.
