Eastward Flow

Chapter 46

Zhong Lisuo, who followed the son of Su He, just met her queen again.From then on, every day, as long as she appeared on the West Palace school field with Su Heshizi, she would always see that figure that lingered in her dreams every night.The days passed by gradually, and came to the most brilliant season at the end of spring.

Hundreds of flowers dazzled, the crowing of Yingying was crisp and clear, and the entire imperial palace was flooded with bright flowers.The cherry blossoms in the East Palace have already bloomed at this moment, and those pink petals stick out of the palace wall, forming an eye-catching flower sea.

Outside the palace wall, there is a vast pink ocean.Whenever this season, young teenagers will join hands to go outing on the grassy slopes by the banks of Liangshui, whispering whispers under the cherry blossoms all over the sky.

After being with Prince Su He for half a month, Zhong Lisuo and Xu Renli ushered in their first rest.Xu Renli, who had been invited long ago, called friends and friends, and went out to play very briskly this day.As for Zhong Lisuo, who happened to be on the fifteenth day, she could only eat vegetarian food, burn incense and chant scriptures at home.

Zhong Lisuo, who originally wanted to go home and have a look, received a message from his father that he would take Mrs. Lezheng for an outing on this day, and let her figure it out.Zhong Lisuo thought for a moment, then decided to stay in the palace where the son lived to finish his schoolwork for the day.

She and Shi Zi got up early to practice martial arts as usual, and had breakfast with Shi Zi.However, the eldest princess had already ordered the waiter to prepare vegetarian food for her on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so she still ate vegetarian food today.

After breakfast, Zhong Lisuo returned to his residence, burning incense and copying scriptures.By the time I stopped writing, it was already the time when the bright spring light shrouded the branches.She put down her pen, stretched her waist, and cast her eyes on the lonely cherry tree in the yard.

A single beautiful cherry tree is in full bloom, and I don't know what the big cherry forest in the East Palace is like.

Thinking so, she stomped out the door and walked towards the backyard full of flowers in the palace.

The lush greenery covered the narrow cobblestone path, Zhong Lisuo looked at the plump flowers that were almost drooping, walked through the rockery step by step, and walked outside.

Passing through a rockery, Zhong Lisuo heard a faint cry of a child.She couldn't help but move her footsteps closer to the crying sound, and finally found a piece of clothing behind a tall rockery.Zhong Lisuo paused, recognized who the corner of the clothes belonged to, and called out tentatively, "Your Majesty?"

The sound of the child's sobbing disappeared, and the corner of the clothes in Zhonglisuo's eyes quickly disappeared, and the sound of staggering footsteps sounded, Zhonglisuo took a step forward, just in time to collide with the eldest son who was running around wiping his tears.

Zhong lisuo reacted very quickly, reaching out to wrap his arms around the child's shaking shoulders.She lowered her eyes and looked at the young man wearing a jade crown, but her gaze was attracted by the Tao Xun he was holding in his hand.

It was an extremely ordinary-looking pottery xun, with a pitch-black body and no decorative patterns, but it was held in the arms of the young prince as if it were a treasure.Zhong lisuo took a closer look and found that Tao Xun's side bottom had broken a corner.Tao Xun was held in the arms of the prince, and the broken pieces were held tightly in the hands of the prince.

Zhong Lisuo looked at Tao Xun and instantly understood why Shizi was crying.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the crown prince Su He who was afraid to look at her with his head down, and his face was full of tears, and asked softly, "Is the crown prince sad because of this Tao Xun?"

Su He nodded, then shook his head, and after a while he said sullenly, "This is from my mother." Zhong Lisuo asked him in polite words, and he replied in polite words.

The sad look on the young boy's face really made Zhong Lisuo feel distressed.Zhong Lisuo squatted down, set his eyes on the Tao Xun that Su He was hugging tightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty is very sad, how did you break it?"

"It was the waiter... who accidentally broke it." Su He twitched, with an aggrieved face, and almost cried again.

Zhong Lisuo reached out to wipe his tears, and said softly, "Did your son scold them?"

Su He shook his head. He thought that it was just someone who accidentally broke it. It was too much to scold, but after all, it was something left to him by his mother. It made him very sad when it broke, so he had to hide here alone and cry. .

He looked at Zhong Lisuo and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Ah Su, I didn't curse or get angry, I was just sad. Don't tell Teacher Lan Dan about this, okay? If he knows that I'm crying again, he will scold me."

Lan Dan has always been strict with him, the most unbearable thing is the appearance of a man twitching in front of him.He was worried that Zhonglisuo would tell Lan Dan about it, so he even yelled out his fawning brother.Zhong Lisuo is not an elder brother, but now he has no way to explain it to him, so he can only laugh it off.

She stretched out her hand, caressed Su He's head, and said, "I won't tell Lan Dan. Don't be sad, my son. Although it is good to cry when you are sad, but crying too much will hurt your soul and your body."

Su He nodded and stopped crying.Zhong Lisuo looked at Tao Xun in his arms, and said, "Could my son show me how bad it has become?"

Su He hesitated for a while, then handed Tao Xun over.Zhong Lisuo looked at the general idea and knew it, so he said to him: "If the son trusts me, can you repair it with me?"

"Can brother fix it?" Su He's eyes lit up.

Zhong Lisuo nodded, got up and took Shizi's hand, and said, "If you can, please come with me, Shizi."

She led Su He through the garden in full spring and returned to her yard.Zhong Lisuo ordered the servants to fetch the materials for repairing the pottery, and after mixing the materials, he dipped them for Su He bit by bit.

Su He stood beside her, without blinking his eyes, watching her glue the pieces together, fill in the uneven places, and finally tie the straw rope, and after a while it dried on the stove.

"It's been repaired!" Su He looked at the repaired damage and exclaimed, "Brother is amazing!"

Seeing his excited appearance, Zhong Lisuo said, "It's almost there, son, wait a moment."

As she spoke, she took black paint and slowly painted the damaged places, filling up the traces one by one.After the two of them finished all this, the excited Su He wanted to reach out for it.Zhong Lisuo shook his head, picked up the Tao Xun, put it on the desk, and said to the prince, "It will take a while for the lacquer ink to dry in the shade, and the prince will take it in a while."

"Okay, Tao Xun has also been repaired, my son, don't cry anymore." Zhong Lisuo lowered his eyes, looked at the child's immature face, and thought, no matter how hard he cried, it would not help.Because what is dead can never come back.

Su He nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Thank you."

Zhong Lisuo glanced at him, then set his eyes on the splendid garden, turned his head and said to the prince, "The prince encountered an unhappy thing today, why don't you enjoy the scenery with me later, how about a better mood?"

"Will brother take me out to play?" Su He asked expectantly, his eyes brightened.

Zhong Lisuo nodded, and said, "Well, Shizi doesn't need to call me brother, just call me Asu, I'm Shizi's companion, if you call me that, Teacher Lan Dan will scold me."

Su He nodded. On weekdays, he liked Zhong Lisuo the most. Because of Tao Xun, he felt a little closer to her. After thinking for a moment, he completely regarded Zhong Lisuo as his own son, and said, "You are right, you It's my partner, we can call each other by name. I don't call you brother, can you call me Suhe?"

Zhong Lisuo bowed his head and replied, "Okay, it's only for you and me."

"Yeah." Su He agreed to the agreement, and said to Zhong Lisuo, "Then where will Ah Su take me to play?"

"It's in the palace." Zhong Lisuo's eyes fell on the East Palace not far away, thinking that if he brought Su He's son with him, he would definitely be able to enter the backyard of the ownerless East Palace to enjoy the extremely beautiful cherry blossoms.

"However, you can't go until the son has lunch." Zhong Lisuo said, after lunch together, the two of them secretly drove away the guards and came to the East Palace.

The East Palace, where there is no owner, is still so beautiful under the care of the palace staff.Su He took the token and got Tong Tongxing.In fact, the East Palace, which has no owner at this time, has become a place for many people in the palace to enjoy cherry blossoms.

Zhong Lisuo, who got the chance, once again saw the most beautiful cherry blossom in his memory.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhong Lisuo took Su He's hand, strolled under the cherry blossom forest, and told him a little story about Taiyimen.In Zhaohui Hall not far from the East Palace, Xuan Jingchen, who finished handling government affairs, cast his eyes on the faintly visible pink ocean after lunch.

"Are the cherry blossoms in the East Palace blooming so lushly?" Xuan Jingchen said casually, and it fell into the ears of Officer An who was waiting beside him.

Minister An bowed his head, answered yes, and said: "As early as yesterday, the cherry blossoms in the East Palace were in full bloom. Recently, many palace people went to the backyard of the East Palace to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Your Majesty, the political affairs are so busy these days. If you go to the Eastern Palace, how about enjoying the cherry blossoms?"

Officer An knew that His Majesty would visit the East Palace every year when the cherry blossoms in the East Palace were in full bloom.Haven't been there this year, and it's about time.

Xuan Jingchen thought for a while, and agreed to Minister An's proposal.She put down her vermilion pen, put political affairs aside, and said, "Then let's go."

Xuan Jingchen got up and took Officer An to the blossoming cherry forest.

The cherry blossoms in Donggong are in full bloom, and each plant is in full bloom.Xuan Jingchen led An Shiguan through the colorful cherry blossom forest, and walked towards the largest cherry tree in the cherry blossom forest.

Dazzling, as the distance got closer, the voices of young people talking came into their ears.Xuan Jingchen walked through layers of cherry blossoms, and two people, one big and one small, broke into his eyes.

The young man in a green shirt sat on the mixed-color blanket on the floor, focused his eyes on the young boy kneeling in front of her, and spoke in a slow voice.

Above their heads, a tall cherry blossom covered the sky and the sun, and its flower branches hung down, blooming like a waterfall of cherry blossoms.

These cherry blossoms, which represent enthusiasm and nobility, all became the foil for the young people under the tree at this moment.The young man in a green shirt and tied in a bun, his thin and tall body caught all of Xuan Jingchen's eyes.

The chaotic cherry blossoms were flying, and Xuan Jingchen seemed to be in a dream in the sea of ​​cherry blossoms.
