Chapter 1265 Farewell Gift
In the next few days, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and the hot sun completely turned into a big fireball hanging on Chang'an City, scorching the yellow land and drying everyone's heart.
Similarly, there are some things going on in full swing.
For example, Shang Ruyi, as the Princess of Qin who was about to leave Chang'an, naturally wanted to say goodbye to the ladies she had with here. Therefore, like the King of Qin who had been relocating personnel in the army and began to prepare for related matters to go to Luoyang, she also ran out day by day and almost didn't have home.
And on this day, she entered the palace.
The scenery in the inner court was even better than what they saw on Yuwen Cheng’s birthday last time. The flowers were clustered with bees and butterflies were flying. Shang Ruyi walked all the way, feeling like she was walking in an old painting.
Then, along the familiar path, she came to Shicui Hall.
When the two eunuchs guarding the gate saw her coming, one immediately went in to report, and the other led Shang Ruyi slowly into it. Shang Ruyi smiled and looked at this simple and clean palace. Compared to the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming along the way, the scenery here is much simpler. There are only a few trees in the courtyard, but it was midsummer, and the shade of green trees was more useful than flowers. The large shade of trees made people feel comfortable and cool as soon as they entered.
Shang Ruyi walked past a willow tree and just watched the green silk flying in front of her, the main entrance of the hall in front had already opened, and Tao Wanyin came out from inside.
"The Princess Qin."
"Tao Jieyu."
When the two met, Tao Wanyin welcomed her into Shicui Hall with a smile.
It is cooler here than outside. A huge ice plate is placed in the corner of the wall, probably because Tao Wanyin is weak in nature and cannot bear the coldness. There are some fruits and melons on the table, and the air emits a faint fruit fragrance, which is more refreshing than the fragrance of flowers.
Shang Ruyi said, "Jie Yu is a beautiful scenery here."
"What a good scenery,"
Tao Wanyin led her to sit down and said lightly, "No one appreciates it."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at her lowered eyes with a faint look. Then she seemed to understand something, but she did not speak immediately. Instead, she turned her head and signaled Tusheer behind her to put the boxes of gifts she brought with her on the table, and smiled and said, "Jie Yu also knows that we are about to go to Luoyang. There is nothing to give when we are leaving. Please don't dislike these boxes of things."
Tao Wanyin frowned slightly.
Shang Ruyi seemed not to see her expression, and pointed to one of the boxes and said, "This is the best bird's nest, and it is best for a woman to eat... My father often stays up late to review memorials. If he uses rock candy, it is the most nourishing thing; there is also this box of Sichuan Qiong. When I was young, I heard a prescription. Soaking Sichuan Qiong wine can relieve the storm of the head. If the father is suffering from the head, he may try it..."
Tao Wanyin listened quietly to what she said. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes kept flashing.
Finally, she asked Qiaoshu to put away several boxes of gifts and whispered, "Thank you, Princess Qin."
"Where."
After Qiaoshu packed the gift, he sent two cups of tea to the two. The tea was leisurely, and a light smoke rose from the cup and slowly dissipated between the two bright eyes, but the eyes of the two were extremely clear.
In the end, Tao Wanyin spoke first: "Princess, are you really going to Luoyang?"
Shang Ruyi smiled faintly.
Seeing her like this, Tao Wanyin's heart sank.
Although she has always been acquainted with Shang Ruyi, has received favors from each other, and has secretly helped each other, both sides have always had clear grudges and are not bound too deeply, so she rarely directly asks about what the King of Qin did in the court, and will not discuss these major events with Shang Ruyi. But since the last time, in order to help the King of Qin stay Shen Tu Tai and Pei Xingyuan, her clan brother Tao He took advantage of his chance to be sick to apply for transfer to Luoyang for Pei Xingyuan's retention. This is almost obvious that he is going to stand by the King of Qin. He originally thought that the King of Qin could continue to expand his power in the court through the victory after overwhelming the emperor. When his great cause is achieved, the Tao family who participated in this matter would naturally be able to wait for corresponding returns.
But now, Yuwen Ye is going to be "exposed" from Chang'an.
As a result, the Tao family's previous sacrifice was almost in vain. Even Shang Ruyi had guessed that Tao Wanyin's words just said "no one appreciates" should mean that Yu Wenyuan was dissatisfied with Tao He's participation in this matter, and he also indulged her for some of her life.
Now, looking at Shang Ruyi's smiling and silent appearance, Tao Wanyin felt heavy in her heart, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked softly: "Your Highness Qin is really going to Luoyang?"
Shang Ruyi said, "We actually don't want to leave either."
“…”
"But the imperial edict has been issued. If the King of Qin and I don't leave, we will resist the edict. It is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if he is the emperor's own son, he will not dare."
Tao Wanyin frowned slightly, but said nothing.
At this time, a whistling sound came from outside. Shang Ruyi turned her head and saw a gust of wind blowing in the courtyard. The green silk trees were swaying in the air, just like the annoying mood in everyone's hearts at this moment. Tao Wanyin was about to say something, but the wind slammed the door and closed it.
Tao Wanyin waved his hand, and Qiaoshu immediately pushed open the door.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Shang Ruyi suddenly smiled and said, "There is no wind at all these days, why did the wind suddenly rise today?"
Tao Wanyin didn't know why her topic turned to the weather and said lightly: "It would be great if there was a rain."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It is indeed a good thing to have a long drought and rain. By the way, I will have to go back after sitting for a while. I am not at home, and Yuan Qian is always running around outside. If the wind is blown or rains, it will be bad."
“…”
"Your Majesty's most distressed is this grandson. If he is sick, I will be scolded."
Tao Wanyin looked at her smiling eyes in silence and said, "Yes."
After that, the two of them talked for a short time, and Shang Ruyi really got up and left. Tao Wanyin only sent her to the door and came back. He immediately asked Qiaoshu to open the box of bird's nest that Shang Ruyi had just sent, took a cup to the kitchen and boiled it with rock candy, and then sent it to the emperor.
Qiaoshu said in a little embarrassedly: "Concubine Jie, the emperor hasn't come to our place for several days. Is it useful to send a bowl of bird's nest?"
Tao Wanyin smiled faintly and said, "I just don't dare to enjoy such a good thing alone."
“…”
"By the way, if you send it over, the emperor asked who has been here today, so there is no need to hide it. Just say that Princess Qin said goodbye to me today."
Qiaoshu blinked, as if he felt something, and said, "I understand."
There is still a later
