Chapter 744 Gardenia

The thin velvet hair on the hairline looks like golden thread in the sun. Li Yueji's skin is very white, and her ears are glowing with a color, giving people the illusion of crystal clearness.

The palace lady whispered to the ear: Empress Li is beautiful and should have been favored by the government.

The palace lady paused and said in a low voice: I have something to say, no matter what, the empress must be favored first...

Li Yueji said: How to be favored?

The palace lady said calmly: Take the initiative to lure the official family and get favor from the official family before she dares to have a small personality.

After hearing this, Li Yueji was angry and laughed: When did I say I wanted to compete for favor?

The palace lady was so choked by a word that she couldn't speak, and looked at her with some disappointment.The eunuch next to him stopped talking.

Li Yueji saw it and ignored them. She saw a lot of people like this in Xiazhou.

For example, the subordinates of civil and military officials encouraged the climb to climb to a high place. The so-called loyalty is nothing more than treating the master as a profit.

She looked up at the sun in the sky, and the strong sunlight made her eyes blur. There seemed to be a black shadow in the dazzling light.He wears a tall crown, stands on the high hill, holding a bow and arrow in his hand...

Li Yueji was stunned and remembered the man's indulgence and forgiveness of him. He stretched out his hand to cover the door for him, fearing that he would be hurt at all... Maybe he was just considering the pros and cons of stabilizing Xiazhou?

But Li Yueji is more willing to believe that there are other reasons.

...In the secret room where files are stored on the west side of Jinxiang Hall, the sunlight penetrates through a small window with a very high position. The only small ventilation hole is the sunlight is very conspicuous in the quiet and closed hut, and the fine dust dances lightly inside.

Very quiet.

Guo Shao, who was covered in disheveled clothes and lying on the couch with a quilt, pressing his eyes, still in his dream, his eyelids were moving and his expression was very nervous.

His eyes flashed through the fog, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing came from his ears, fighting for the emperor... The bloody shouts were like in his ears, swords and swords, and blood was like rain.

Then, a beautiful and sad face bent down again and said to him who was sleeping: The things I reserved in the end are gone, and I don’t know what else can give you in the future...

Guo Shao sat up suddenly and hurriedly opened his eyes to look, but the familiar face in front of him disappeared.

This is a quiet and small house, very quiet, he is the only one.

Guo Shao looked around and made sure that there was no one here. Only then did he remember where he was and why he was here.

The woman who lingered with him when she woke up, and the woman who whispered intimately with him in her dreams, were all gone.

He reached out and wiped his face hard, rubbed his eyes, exhale a long breath, and got up to tidy up his clothes.

When I walked out of the secret room, a slow sound of bells and drums came from outside, and came from the Xuande Gate Tower in the distance... The hour of You was here.

Guo Shao felt that he would no longer go to the study in the West Palace, so he walked around the hall of Yangde Hall, not knowing what he should do.

It seems that there are many things, but I don’t know where to do it.

So many brothers died not for him to enjoy supreme power and glory alone!

However, it is absolutely impossible to achieve something with just a passion. Ignoring reality brings only war and meaningless fight and depravity.

Guo Shao suddenly felt a mess in his heart.

When he walked out, the eunuch Wang Zhong bowed and said, "Official family, the imperial carriage is ready."

Guo Shao waved his hand and said nothing.Wang Zhong bent down and said: Look.He might not know what Guo Shao means, but he just needs to follow him silently.

Walking out of the building complex through a door behind Jinxiang Hall, you will be on a tall base.

While Guo Shao walked down the stone steps, he counted the number of stone steps.

It has been here for several years, and he really doesn't know how many levels it takes to get to the top.

The central axis avenue is bare, but there are some fruit trees planted further away, and it is blooming this season.

From a distance, the flowers are like brocade and very gorgeous.

Guo Shao felt a little confused and empty, but he could confirm that he felt that most of the things on this land were beautiful.

He bent down and picked up a small white petal that was blown by the wind on the road, with fine water droplets on it, which were stained with some sand and dust.

Guo Shao put this little thing in his rough palm and looked carefully, as if confirming the reality and then threw it on the ground.

Walking into Xuanyou Gate, a group of palace men surrounded by Huang Umbrella's carriage just followed behind.

After all, the emperor likes to take a car and walks when he likes to walk. No one will have time to ask him why he doesn’t want to walk if he has a car.

Inside Xuanyou Gate, the first large building complex is Wansui Hall.

However, Guo Shao did not reach the steps of Wansui Hall. He remembered that Lu Lan lived in a small courtyard to the west.

The fragrant memories of various plants in the courtyard came into Guo Shao's mind and aroused his interest.

I will take the opportunity to see Miss Lu and see what she will plant in spring.Guo Shao told Wang Zhong.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai and Miss Lu came to greet each other, which made Guo Shao feel a little uncomfortable... He almost forgot about Bai's living here!

Madam Lu had joy on her face, and Bai's eyes flashed a little, as if they were a little embarrassed.Some things, even if they pass, are difficult to remove once signs are left.

Bai seemed to be back in Youzhou Guo Shao pressed herself under her... The powerful impact... the many postures that make people love and hate... She subconsciously merged her legs tightly...

Guo Shao looked at Bai Shi intentionally or unintentionally, and then he entered a hall with them, pretending to be relaxed and laughed: What kind of grass leaves does Mrs. Lu use to treat me today?

Lu Lan asked: Your Majesty has any discomfort recently?

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: I was a little upset, panicked and at a loss.

Lu Lan smiled and said: Your Majesty, wait, the water has not yet opened.

Guo Shao couldn't leave Bai's side, so he deliberately said: Is Mrs. Bai accustomed to living here?

Bai lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: Thanks to Your Majesty’s rescue, it is the best thing to be able to reunite with his little girl.

Lu Lan also said seriously: I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness.

Guo Shao said: Don’t care.He said again, as soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a very familiar fragrance, but for a moment I forgot what it was... I have rarely paid attention to this in recent years.

Gardenia.Lu Lan whispered softly, the one you can smell it at once must be the gardenia.

Guo Shao slapped his thigh and suddenly said: Yes!I just wondered why I was so familiar with it, something very common.

Yes.Lu Lan laughed and got up and went to make tea.

Soon, Lu Lan brought a crystal glass cup over.

Guo Shao looked down and saw that the water in the glass cup was as clear as a mirror, with white petals floating on it. The water was still very hot, and a wisp of white smoke floated up apart, and the water vapor was also filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Lu Lan said: Gardenia has the effect of clearing heat and calming the spirit.

oh?It turns out that there is a wonderful use.Guo Shao took it up.

Lu Lan said softly again: Your Majesty, be slower, be careful to be hot.

Guo Shao's eyes swept across Bai's face inadvertently and smiled at Lu Lan and said: I understand.After saying that, he blew a breath and took a sip.

It is sweet and bitter, and it seems that it is filled with honey when it smells.

He has seen a lot of gardenias. They are not rare things at all, but it is really the first time to drink them in water like this.

Lu Lan murmured: This kind of flower will grow buds from the beginning of winter and will not bloom until the next summer.More than half of Huayin is brewing that bloom...

Guo Shao put down the water cup and looked at her silently.She was petite and was originally just an ordinary lady from a doctor's family, but at this time the skin on her face seemed to be as fragrant as a flower.

Lu Lan glanced at him and whispered: It was a long time, dull and quiet, but it could bring surprises at the moment of blooming.

Guo Shao thought something.

At this moment, Mrs. Bai stood up and said, "I'll prepare some wine and food."

Guo Shao wanted to say that there was no need, but this sentence did not mean that he was polite... because staying for supper was the holy family.He nodded in agreement.

I don’t know how to repay Your Majesty’s kindness… Lu Lan murmured, after thinking about it, only, only...

Her face turned red suddenly, and she placed her hands on the collar on her chest. Your Majesty came in with me and I had something to say to you.

Guo Shao sat there, looking embarrassed, looking at the door where Bai had just left, he always felt something was wrong; he seemed to have seen this scene somewhere.

He hurriedly said: No need, I mean...

But Lu Lan bit her red lips and looked at her: Do you think of your Majesty?

Guo Shao's face twitched slightly. He looked at the plump and soft place where her hands were placed. He thought hard for a moment and said kindly: Miss Lu doesn't need to repay you. You are already good to me. Don't be able to repay your kindness anymore.

Lu Lan whispered: Different, my treatment is my duty, and Your Majesty also gave me a reward far exceeding the medical fee.But you specially rescued my mother from the Khitans...

Guo Shao sighed slightly and said warmly: You really don’t have to think so. Madam Lu is enough to me. Don’t have this intention anymore.Sometimes, it's so good that I can't bear it.

The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was frozen in the air.Lu Lan suddenly smiled and said: Is it because there are too many beauties that I can’t bear it?

When Guo Shao heard this, he didn't know what was funny and couldn't help laughing out loud.The two looked at each other and the atmosphere melted suddenly.

He picked up the glass cup and waited for a while. The water temperature had dropped a lot. He took a big sip and it was still the same smell, sweet and bitter, and very fragrant.However, if you don’t add honey, the water soaked in the flowers should be bitter.

Lu Lan's voice sounded like a sound in his ears, very gentle: Your Majesty is really hard to understand. I often wonder, how do you fight on the battlefield like a gentle person?

Guo Shao thought to himself, I was not born as an ancient martial artist. At the beginning, I was a job of making a living. I was not a typical hero of this era.But this little lady in front of me is really suitable to be a palace lady?

He smiled and said: Because I haven't fought for many years, I'll only look at the results from behind.

Lu Lan tilted his head and thought: Your Majesty seems to make sense.

There was still light white smoke floating on the water, and the fragrance of flowers did not dissipate in the quaint room.
