1100. Chapter 1100 Leaving the Palace
In the afternoon, the sun penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground. Although the weather was a little cool after the rain, the sun was still strong and the ground dried out in a short time.
Ye Zhen left the palace in this afternoon, and Mo Rongzhan half-hugged her in his arms without feeling too warm, lowering his head to kiss her cheek from time to time.
"Hot!" Ye Zhen's back was sweating, and she pushed Mo Rongzhan away in disgust, "I'm not going anywhere, why don't we see each other again? There's no need to be so lingering, if you really can't bear to let me go to Chengde Villa, then Let’s go back to the palace.”
She was really a little angry. Since he had made up his mind to isolate her from the chaos of Kyoto, he decisively let her go to Chengde Villa to do what he wanted to do, and then pick her back up. Does it make her feel better to be so reluctant to leave?
If it weren't for his amnesia, she would have fallen out with him long ago, right?
Mo Rongzhan let go of her and looked at her helplessly, "Yaoyao, I can't bear to leave you."
Ye Zhen took the fan and shook it gently, "I know you asked me to go to Chengde Villa to protect me."
"I know what you are thinking. You think you can protect yourself and face the difficulties and dangers with me. I just don't dare to take risks..." Mo Rongzhan gently pressed her earlobe, in case a second one appeared. Where is Qi Ruoshui?
"Then I'll wait for you at Chengde Villa." Ye Zhen hugged his neck, "Waiting for you to give me a clean and safe world."
A smile appeared in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, and he kissed her pink lips without saying a word.
The carriage left Kyoto leisurely. Ye Zhen fell asleep in Mo Rongzhan's arms. When she woke up, she was almost at Chengde Villa.
The golden crow fell in the west, the setting sun shone on the entire mountain peak, and the mountain-style villa was already looming. Ye Zhen raised the curtains, and she said with emotion, "I often came here when I was a child, with my brother..."
Murong Zhan followed her gaze and looked towards the plain in the distance, "Are you coming with your father to ride horses?"
Ye Zhen looked back at him with a smile, "How do you know?"
"This is the best place for horseback riding. I should have come here often before." This place gave him a familiar feeling.
"That was our Ye family's old Zhuangzi. There were hot springs in the Zhuangzi. My grandmother loved to take us here. She said that soaking in the hot springs can make people's skin whiter. I also have my own small yard with a hot spring pool behind it. ..." Ye Zhen recalled the past days, feeling warm and missing in her heart.
Mo Rongzhan's rough fingertips gently scratched the back of her neck, "She is so white and smooth...is it all because she often soaks in hot springs?"
Ye Zhen shuddered and turned back to glare at him, "I'm talking to you seriously."
"Am I doing something improper?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile.
"That's my favorite Zhuangzi, but you gave it to Lu Lingzhi." Ye Zhen snorted displeasedly. Although Zhuangzi had taken it back and gave it to her again, she still felt very unhappy.
Murong Zhan coughed lightly, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I will build you a bigger village."
The corners of Ye Zhen's mouth curled up, but she snorted, "Who cares?"
"I will come to accompany you often." Murong Zhan whispered.
"Do you know where I saw you for the first time after becoming Lu Yaoyao?" Getting closer to Chengde Villa, Ye Zhen also remembered the past.
Murong Zhan smiled and said, "Here?"
Ye Zhen pointed to Zhuangzi who was down the mountain on the other side, "When I met you in the hot spring pool, I really wanted to kick you to death."
"I saw you in the hot spring pool?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows, "To be kicked by you, I must be fascinated..."
"The second time I saw you outside the Chengde Villa, you looked at me as if you wanted to kill me." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I should have been thinking about how to stay away from you, not about revenge. of."
Mo Rongzhan smiled lowly and kissed her for a long time, "Fortunately, I didn't let you go."
Ye Zhen sighed, the relationship between her and him was probably destined, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself at Chengde Villa and won't let you worry."
"Okay." Mo Rongzhan's dark eyes were filled with a smile.
"We're here." Ye Zhen said that they had arrived at Chengde Villa. Murong Zhan couldn't let anyone know that he was seeing her off in person, so he had to go back before tomorrow morning.
Murong Zhan rubbed her palms and let the carriage continue to walk into the villa. The carriage did not stop until it reached the backyard. Murong Zhan hugged Ye Zhen and got out of the car. There was already a green-glazed soft sedan waiting next to her.
"You go to the house to rest first, I will find you in a moment." Murong Zhan whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "Aren't you going back to the palace? Aren't you afraid that people will know you are here?"
Murong Zhan kissed her cheek, "Everyone here belongs to me, no one in Kyoto will know that I have been here."
"What are you going to do?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I have something to tell you." Mo Rongzhan said quietly and asked the palace servants to send Ye Zhen to the east first.
Chengde Villa occupies a very large area. Every year during the autumn hunting season, the emperor would bring people to live here for more than a month. There are two gardens at the front and back, each with a different style of yard. Ye Zhen’s yard is located on the The West Garden is also where the spring is located.
This was not Ye Zhen's first visit to Chengde Villa, but she had never visited it all before. She sat on a soft sedan and looked at the surrounding scenery. This time she could finally take a leisurely tour of this large villa.
"Is the scenery over the East Garden the same as here?" Ye Zhen asked a palace maid who had been walking beside her.
"Back to your Majesty, the courtyard in the East Garden is larger than that in the West Garden. It was where the concubines lived in the past." The palace maid replied in a low voice. Although she said it tactfully, the meaning was still expressed.
Every year when the emperor comes to hunt in autumn, he will definitely bring many concubines to serve him. These people should all live in the East Garden. Even if the emperor does not bring his concubines, the people in the villa will definitely arrange for the women to wait for the emperor in the east garden. favor.
Ye Zhen just smiled faintly and didn't ask any more questions.
"This is..." Ye Zhen was confused about the place called Daohuayuan. This didn't seem to be the courtyard where she lived before. She used to live next door to the Queen Mother's Spring Courtyard. She seemed to have never heard of a place called Daohuayuan. .
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has ordered the two courtyards of autumn and winter to be opened up, and the original Daohua Courtyard has been enlarged. I hope your Majesty will be comfortable living here." The palace maid continued to reply.
Ye Zhen glanced sideways at her, "Does the Emperor want you to stay with me and serve me?"
In addition to Hong Ling and Hong Ying, there were two more unfamiliar palace maids behind her. Ye Zhen remembered what Mo Rongzhan once said. This should be his arrangement.
"Back to your Majesty, my name is Dong He. Your Majesty has asked me to serve you well."
"My name is Xia He..." Another maid followed and saluted.
They were indeed sent by the emperor to the queen's side to protect her with their lives.
