I slowly got up, but because I had been kneeling for too long, my legs went numb, and I almost fell down, and when Chen stood up, he staggered and fell towards me, and when she touched him, he fell forward, and he almost fell to the ground. I took a deep breath, and tried to support himself with my arms, and although the floor was covered with a brocade blanket, it didn't hurt to fall to the ground like this, but it would have been too unbecoming.
My arm rose into the air, but my body remained tilted at an angle. I looked to the side and saw that Yang Liang had extended an arm to block me. He exerted a little force and I was able to stand up steadily.
Although it was just a few small movements, there were already a few sighs from the crowd. My face flushed red and I hurriedly pushed away Yang Liang's arm. Even though I avoided the embarrassment of falling to the ground, the embarrassment of being helped up by Yang Liang made me even more embarrassed.
The Crown Princess was about to flare up, but the Queen acted like she didn't see him. She held her sleeves and walked out of the hall slowly.
The Queen has left, and the Crown Princess feels that there is no longer any need to mock me. She gave a light snort, glared at me, then lifted her skirt, crossed the threshold, and followed the Queen out.
Chen kept apologizing to me, but when I realized that she had also knelt for a long time, unintentionally, and that she had fallen down herself, I didn't criticize her too harshly, but only taught her to be more careful in the future.
The group of people led by the empress walked towards the Cool Spring Pavilion.
On the left side was a gathering of peach blossoms, and on the right side was a clear pool. Although the clear pool was very small and could not compare to the beauty of the Golden Unicorn Pool, the goldfish swimming in the pond were still a scene from the Imperial Palace. In addition, there were lush greenery and lush greenery in Qinliangzhai, which, coupled with the sparse amount of human smoke, made it even more secluded and secluded. It was indeed a good place to take shelter from the summer heat.
The group of people slowly walked over on the wooden bridge over the Clear White Pool. The scenery on the way made one feel completely at ease, and the empress's anger was also lifted by quite a bit. She even praised,
"After all these years, I didn't come to the Cool Breeze Temple. I didn't expect to miss such a beautiful scenery. If I could put down my burden, I would have definitely robbed Master Su's Cool Breeze Temple of its longevity."
Yang Liang smiled and said, "If Imperial Mother wants to live, is there a need to rob? I, your son, would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. "
The Crown Princess didn't agree. She looked at the Queen with flattery and said,
"My daughter-in-law thought that although the scenery here was quiet and serene, it was too petty. The Queen Mother's Yongan Palace could be called noble and elegant, while the precious gold and jade could be said to be compatible with the Queen Mother's identity." The meaning in her words was that if the empress came here, she would lose her own price.
The empress was displeased and stopped in her tracks. She looked at the crown prince's consort and sighed. However, she didn't say a word and continued on her way. Yang Liang, however, could not bear to listen. He turned to the Crown Princess and said,
"Sister Huang only knows luxury, looks like nothing, and is not interested in anything. The most unwelcome person in the Cool Breeze House is someone who doesn't like anything. Sister Huang, please go back!"
"You –" With the empress's presence, the crown prince's wife restrained her anger and looked eagerly at the empress. She was probably attracted by the treasure Yang Liang was talking about and wanted to see what it was.
However, Yang Liang was stuck on the bridge, so the bridge was narrow and the princess had to stop.
Yang Liang had never been a mean person. The empress didn't understand why he was so abnormal today, but in the end, the Cool Breeze Temple was his residence. He wouldn't allow the Crown Princess to enter, so the empress didn't say much and only said:
"You've already been out for half a day. I'm sure you're busy with matters in the Eastern Palace. You should go back and help the crown prince."
"Yes." Since the Queen had spoken, the Crown Princess couldn't do anything about it. She reluctantly led the maids away.
After the princess had left, the atmosphere was much better. After crossing the small bridge, Yang Liang's Cathedral appeared in front of him, this is the first time I have been here, but I have seen a few two-story pavilions covered in blue bricks and green tiles under a huge tree. The buildings were extremely simple, yet there was also an indescribable sense of tranquility and elegance. As he entered, he only saw three to four palace maids come forth to pay their respects. Other than them, there was no one else present.
If this situation was known, no one would believe that this was the prince's residence, and it would be even more simple and unsophisticated than Yang Guang's Jin Mansion. The Queen's eyes were misty as she said:
"Yun'er, your palace is so simple and unsophisticated, how could it not have the appearance of a prince? Why didn't you say so earlier? Mother will send some people over right away."
"No need mother, this son loves peace and quiet. If there are too many people, it will disturb this son and wife. Besides, this child doesn't always live here. Isn't there still Duke Han's estate outside the palace? Although this place is simple, it is still a place of pleasure. It does not necessarily require a group of servants and women to reveal their identity.
When the Queen heard this, she gave a slight nod of her head in approval. She seemed to have forgotten about the matter with the Crown Princess. In my heart, I secretly praised Yang Liang's sharp thinking. In that case, the Empress probably wouldn't pursue the matter with the Warm Jade.
Yang Liang helped the empress up the wooden stairs towards the attic, and opened a room decorated with simple decorations. The sweet scent of books and ink greeted them, it was none other than Yang Liang's study. Yang Liang was happy and quiet, especially in his study. He didn't allow anyone to enter his study, so all of the maids were blocked outside the door. He only invited the empress and I into the study.
The only thing that showed his status was a row of bookshelves on the east side, which were close to the wall. The bookshelves were made from the rare and precious Golden Silk Sauna Wood, and from the looks of it, it had been used for a long time.
The bookshelves were filled with books, and to the south was a large window, allowing one to see the scenery of the Peach Blossom Garden. When the window was opened, a faint fragrance would waft into the study, filling it with the fragrance of cyan peaches.
On the other side, the whole wall was covered by a clean white silk. The room was swept clean and was clean and refined.
"Yun'er, what treasure do you have to offer? Take it out for me to see." At this moment, the empress's mood was calm, and she smiled. Her smile made me feel that the room was filled with warmth and the atmosphere was harmonious. Thus, she curiously looked at Yang Liang, not knowing what treasure was so precious that the empress would personally visit.
Yang Liang lifted up his green robe and knelt in front of the empress, and said:
"Please bestow a punishment upon me, mother. I actually have no treasure to offer. I just wish to invite mother to take a look at a few paintings."
The Queen was slightly startled before she smiled amiably and said,
"Who in the palace doesn't know that you are hard to find? To be able to see your calligraphy treasure, and even more so one of those treasures, it can't be considered as deceiving me. Why don't you show it to me?"
"Yes." Yang Liang stood up and walked over to the white silk. With a tug of his hand, the white silk slipped off and a wall of calligraphy and paintings appeared before us.
My face froze.
The empress's smile froze.
A total of sixteen paintings were hung on the wall in order, including four paintings in spring, four paintings in summer, four paintings in autumn and four paintings in winter. Each painting depicted a beautiful woman, either happy or displeased, worried or worried.
I looked at them one by one. There was a painting called "Green Peach Concealment". I ate it and was mocked by Yang Liang. In order to deceive him, I remembered it with a mischievous look and the smile on my face was actually like a living person walking into the painting.
There was also a picture of a "handsome young man". It was a picture of me secretly leaving the palace dressed as a woman to send Lijun away. After escaping, I leaned against a peach tree.
Another "Ying in the Moon", my face as enchanted as a dream is vividly painted, dressed in white, ten slender fingers brushing on the light and ethereal Xi, the sleeves of which dance lightly, like an immortal.
"Golden Qilin Water Warm" depicts the playful look I had when I was playing by the Golden Qilin Lake, the water droplets that splattered all over my face, the big pink lotus that I was holding in my hand, and the innocent smile.
After seeing all of these pictures, the last one depicted me unconscious in the Residence of Duke Han due to a severe illness.
All of these paintings were actually my growth records from the age of nine until I entered the palace four years ago!
