Chapter 1140 Yingting Garden
The pupils suddenly condensed, and Yuwen Xuanyin stepped forward again.
"Imperial Dao Jue" unexpectedly backfired. Although he didn't understand the internal cause, he also knew not to act rashly, so he switched to other methods.
The crystal giant hammer changed again in his hand. A crystal clear meteor hammer was drawn out with dazzling brilliance, and the hammer head pointed directly at Li Chuyi's head.
But...
"enough."
Yuwen Tailuo's voice came at just this moment, and the hand holding the chain trembled violently. Yuwen Xuanyin finally did not dare to disobey his order. The chain hit the ground with a hammer head, and Li Chuyi's sword blocked it. Empty.
Looking at each other, the two of them turned to look at Yuwen Tailuo.
Yuwen Tailuo looked satisfied, clapped gently and said with a smile: "Yes, you two are both very good. I am very pleased."
Rolling his eyes, the Yaizhen sword was still in its sheath, and the little fat man was filled with nausea.
After working desperately for a long time just to make the old emperor "happy", he almost died without a diaphragm.
"Thank you, Father!"
Yuwen Xuanyin didn't dare to be as indifferent as him, so he immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Nodding lightly, Emperor Yanling turned his head and looked to the left and right.
"Do you have any objections to my decision?"
The courtiers didn't dare to have objections, so they quickly bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "My emperor is wise!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Emperor Yanling looked at Mu Fangli again.
"What's the Master's will?"
Mu Fangli said nothing, his smile said everything. He looked at Li Chuyi with eyes full of relief and pride.
All the princes and princesses sighed secretly when they saw this. Knowing that the eldest prince's promotion to the crown prince was already a certainty, they all felt mixed emotions in their hearts.
"In that case, let's stop here today. Dear ladies, if you have nothing else to do, please retreat."
"Farewell to my emperor!"
All the ministers knelt on the ground, but Yuwen Tailuo did not leave directly, but waved to Li Chuyi.
"You come with me."
Glancing at Yuwen Xuanyin, who had an ugly face, the little fat man nodded and raised his heels. When he passed by Mu Fangli, he was stopped by the latter.
"I'll go with you."
"Mu Tianshi, I know you cherish your grandson, but he is also my child. I haven't seen him for many years, and today I finally have a chance to be alone. Tianshi, you won't even give me this chance, right?"
The tone was joking, but the eyes were serious. Emperor Yanling looked at Mu Fangli intently.
Frowning tightly, he saw Li Chuyi gently nodding towards him. Mu Fangli hesitated for a moment and stopped stopping him. He patted Li Chuyi on the shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you outside. Let's go back together later." "
Emperor Yanling laughed dumbly: "Why do I feel that the Heavenly Master looks at me like a tiger and a leopard? Can I still eat him?"
Mu Fangli looked at him indifferently: "As for the emperor, I just cherish my grandson and am afraid that he will get lost when he first comes here. You also know how big the imperial capital is."
After they looked at each other thoughtfully for a moment, Emperor Yanling smiled slightly and looked away, waving to Li Chuyi.
"Let's go, follow me to Yingting Garden."
The words were meant for Li Chuyi, and even more so for Mu Fangli. Li Chuyi didn't know where Yingting Garden was when he entered the palace for the first time.
When Mu Fangli heard this, his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of reminiscence and complexity in his expression. Finally, he sighed softly, shook his head and said nothing.
Amidst the greetings from everyone, Li Chuyi slowly left with Emperor Yanling. Apart from the palace maids and eunuchs, there were only two people who followed - General Xiong and Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen still had the expressionless look on his face, but General Xiong changed his previous coldness and looked at Li Chuyi's back with slightly excited eyes.
Li Chuyi was very uncomfortable with his eyes. He turned around and glared several times but failed to make him restrain himself. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and let him stare.
[This guy doesn’t like men, does he? Have you fallen in love with me? 】
With malicious speculation in his heart, the little fat man curled his lips secretly.
In recent days, his outlook on life has been distorted by the "different style" of the imperial capital. Now he feels that everything is possible.
After walking in circles for a long time, Li Chuyi couldn't be moved by the beautiful palace garden scenery at all, and his mood became worse and worse.
Looking up at the imperial chariot in front of him, he felt a million regrets. If he had known that the road was so long and General Xiong was so weird, why would he refuse the old emperor's invitation and follow on two legs?
Feeling sorry for myself, finally, Yingting Garden arrived.
A transparent thin curtain shrouded the surroundings, sealing the entire garden. Through the thin curtain, one could clearly see the pavilions, water pavilions, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers inside, but there was no sound at all, as if it was just a silent illusion.
After stepping off the imperial chariot, Yuwen Tailuo personally stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lightly press the thin curtain. The thin curtain disappeared instantly, and in an instant, a cool water vapor that penetrated the heart and lungs hit his face. Unable to help but take a deep breath, Li Chu suddenly felt his mind clearing up, and his whole body involuntarily became emptier.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Li Chu forced himself to wake up, and made a gesture in front of him with fearful eyes, firmly isolating the cool water vapor from his body.
He suspected that he was under a spell or an illusion.
"Don't be afraid. The air here is blended with the essence of the three elements of earth, wood, and water. It has a very good nourishing effect on the inside and outside of people. It is not caused by illusion."
Seeing through Li Chuyi's caution, Emperor Yanling comforted him warmly.
But Li Chuyi still looked suspicious, and Emperor Yanling had no choice but to sigh and said: "Do you know the name of this place?"
Li Chu nodded: "Yingtingyuan, you just said it."
"Then do you know why you chose this name?"
"Where do I know where to go!" The little fat man looked at him speechlessly.
Smiling indifferently, Yuwen Tailuo looked at Li Chuyi seriously: "The reason why this place is called Yingting Garden is because this is a gift from me to Queen Ying."
"Queen Ying?"
Li Chuyi seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Nodding seriously, Yuwen Tailuo's eyes showed melancholy: "I only have one queen, that is my first wife Mu Xueling. Child, Queen Ying is your mother!"
The defense disappeared instantly, and Li Chuyi stared at Yingting Garden in a daze, his heart beating non-stop. Even if there were really bad things here, he was unwilling to resist. This was another place where his mother lived, and he didn't want to have the slightest estrangement.
Seeing him like this, Yuwen Tailuo's eyes became more complicated, and he stepped forward and patted his shoulder. This time he didn't dodge and let him touch him.
"Come on, come in and sit with me."
Nodding silently, Li Chuyi followed slowly.
General Xiong and Elder Wen also wanted to follow, but Emperor Yanling waved his hand to stop them.
"You all stay outside. I want to be alone with him for a while."
The two looked at each other, then bowed and agreed. The other palace maids and eunuchs naturally did not dare to disobey, and followed them to stand silently outside the garden.
Passing through the low flowers, stepping on the fragrant grass, and strolling for a long time on the exquisite waterway bridge, an elegant water pavilion came into view.
The octagonal water pavilion has white pillars and green tops. If you look closely, you will find that there is no gap in the entire water pavilion. It is actually carved from a piece of top-quality jade. The two ends of the original stone are green and gradually turn white. The green color of the two ends of the carving into water meets the natural top and base. The former is in harmony with the scenery, and the latter is interesting with the water.
The white in the middle is carved into pavilion pillars and railings, with long gauze on it drifting in the wind, blurring the scenery in the pavilion, making people want to explore it.
Walking closer, looking up, the three characters "Lingxin Pavilion" are in the middle.
"This is written by your mother, and the name is also chosen by her."
Seeing Li Chuyi staring at it carefully, Yuwen Tailuo introduced in a gentle voice: "'The waterside pavilion and stone platform are burning fragrant wood, and the sun reflects the golden shadows, which are not real'. Your mother said that the five elements here lack gold, which damages the spiritual charm and fairy taste, so she gave it this name."
Looking at him, Li Chuyi nodded and said nothing, but sighed softly in his heart.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the name chosen by his mother is very meaningful, which makes him have to think more.
If I remember correctly, the "Dust Heart Sword Art" in Ye Zhichen's three unique skills has a set of matching swordsmanship, called "Spirit Heart Sword Art", which was created by Ye Zhichen specifically for Mu Xueling. No one knows about this except him and Mu Xueling.
Later, Mu Xueling passed away, and Ye Zhichen finally perfected the "Spirit Heart Sword Art" in great sorrow. Unfortunately, there was no one to give it to, so it has been sealed in his heart since then.
Until Li Chuyi came, Fang Junnan became a disciple of Ye Zhichen with his help. His bumpy relationship with Liu Mingxiu deeply touched Ye Zhichen, and the "Spirit Heart Sword Art" was finally seen again and passed on to Liu Mingxiu by Ye Zhichen, complementing the "Dust Heart Sword Art" passed on to Fang Junnan.
Ye Zhichen used Fang and Liu to make up for his regrets in the past, but he didn't know that Mu Xueling, who was in the palace, was also the same. Aren't the two words "Lingxin" the homophones of the two words "Lingxin"?
And the word "Xing", according to the little fat man's guess, the "gold" on the left half is not to make up for the five elements at all, but refers to the sword, Ye Zhichen's sword!
If his guess is right, then Mu Xueling really took great pains. She loved Ye Zhichen but had to marry him into the palace. In order to avoid Yuwen Tailuo's suspicion, she even made up a theory of the five elements.
Yingting Garden lacks gold in the five elements?
That's easy!
Just move some gold objects in, or build some gold bridges and gold railings, why bother with the name?
It seems that Yuwen Tailuo doesn't know yet, and Li Chuyi doesn't plan to tell him.
In his heart, Ye Zhichen is the best destination for his mother. Even if he doesn't exist after marrying Ye Zhichen, he doesn't want to see Mu Xueling die at such a young age.
Yuwen Tailuo certainly didn't know this. He thought that Li Chuyi's silence was silently tasting, and he also accompanied her with full of thoughts.
After a long time, he patted Li Chuyi to signal him to go in. The two of them opened the curtain and walked into the pavilion, and sat down at the exquisite pure white jade table in the middle.
As expected, all the things in the pavilion were carved from the same handle, not added later.
The moment they sat down, a pot of fragrant tea and a few snacks appeared on the stone table. Without anyone urging them, the teapot floated up in front of the two people. The mouth of the pot tilted and the tea fell in an arc. When it was about to spill onto the table, a delicate teacup appeared below, and the tea fell steadily into it without spilling a drop.
The little fat man was stunned.
Not to mention, at this moment he really felt like he was in a fairy cave.
Pavilions and waterside pavilions, vast smoke and waves, exotic flowers and plants, fragrant winds, birds, beasts, insects and fish appearing from time to time, plus hot tea and snacks that you don’t have to prepare yourself, here you just need to rest comfortably, what else is this like the life of a fairy?
Of course, if there were more meat in the snacks, it would be even better.
