Chapter 721 Dream Garden
"Your Highness, this is not Zhuangzi's business."
Madam Huang couldn't help but smile. She had heard of it in the palace that there was a lotus garden in Jizhou. The lotus garden was built on the water and was famous for its lotus flowers.
It is said that the builder of the Lotus Garden was a famous scholar from the previous dynasty. This famous scholar loved lotus flowers very much. After building the Lotus Garden, he specially made a lotus jade pendant as a token.
The person who gets this jade pendant in the future will be the owner of the Heyuan Garden.
Although that was the matter of the previous dynasty, Madam Huang believed that Murong Jun gave the jade pendant to Murong Hui, it would be equivalent to giving her the entire Heyuan.
"Don't say that quickly, my uncle-in-law only promised to give me a jade pendant."
Murong Hui shook her head quickly and reminded Madam Huang.
"I understand that this jade pendant itself is of great value and is also considered a good thing."
Madam Huang still smiled, helped Murong Hui and walked towards the study room.
Murong Hui pulled the cloak on her body, but she felt a little cold. This year's autumn seemed to be coming earlier, but it was just September that Murong Hui could already feel the chill.
"What's wrong with Your Highness in recent days? Why don't you ask an imperial physician to come and have a look later."
When Madam Huang saw Murong Hui like this, her face immediately became much ugly and she said worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is getting colder and I'm not used to it. It'll be better in a few days."
Murong Hui didn't care because she didn't feel any discomfort except for occasionally feeling cold.
Madam Huang shook her head in disagreement, and wanted to continue to persuade Murong Hui. Before she could speak, she saw several noble girls appearing in front of her and were walking up the study room.
After experiencing a series of things, several people learned a lot of lessons. After seeing Murong Hui, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed. They didn't say anything in their hearts, at least they were always respectful on their faces.
"Everyone gets up, since you have encountered it, just go with me."
Murong Hui didn't feel anything when she saw them. After she got up, she chatted symbolically for a few words and then went to the study room.
"Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor has given you the Heyuan?"
As soon as he got off school, Gao Ziyue came over with excitement, but Xu Qing couldn't even hold him in her arms.
Murong Hui was stunned at first, then handed the jade pendant to Gao Ziyue and said, "It's not the case. Your Majesty just gave me a lotus-shaped jade pendant and did not mention any lotus garden."
Murong Hui deliberately raised the volume just to let everyone around him hear it.
Gao Ziyue couldn't help but be stunned: "Every time they said that, I really thought the emperor was going to give you the entire lotus garden."
Gao Ziyue was still a little disappointed. She didn't think so much. She always felt that with Murong Hui's temperament, if Heyuan really became hers, they would have the opportunity to stay in Heyuan for a few days in the future.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, this is not a good thing. It's better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."
Xu Qing said it very briefly, but Murong Hui understood it. She felt that someone was using this to create rumors.
Originally, Murong Jun just gave her a jade pendant casually, and didn't think too much. If others thought that she was insatiable and wanted not only the jade pendant, but also the Heyuan, it would only arouse Murong Jun's disgust.
"It's just a farmhouse, how could anyone mind so much?"
"Your Highness quickly goes to Fengyi Palace, and I will tell you the rest when you come back."
Xu Qing looked anxious and pulled Murong Hui and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Although Murong Hui didn't know what she meant, she knew it by looking at Xu Qing's appearance. She must have known something that had something to do with Heyuan.
"Your Highness, I will accompany you in."
When she walked to the gate of Fengyi Palace, Xu Qing let her go. She stood aside and obviously had no plans to leave. She wanted to wait for the result of this matter. Seeing this, Madam Huang did not insist, but helped Murong Hui to walk towards Fengyi Palace.
"Let's go back first, there's still a archery class in the afternoon."
Murong Hui smiled and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder before turning around and walking towards Fengyi Palace.
Xu Qing looked at her back and almost cried. She thought to herself, Your Highness is so simple that she is so angry that she can still laugh.
Murong Hui didn't know this at all. She walked into Fengyi Palace slowly, but was not in a hurry to talk about this to Lin Yingxue.
She knew very well about the news about Fengyi Palace, and it was always faster than the place next to her.
Since these things have been known to everyone in the palace, she has no idea.
"Hui'er, why did you come here at this time?"
Lin Yingxue put down the red pen in her hand and looked at Murong Hui with a smile.
"Auntie, Huier came here to return the jade pendant. I heard that this is a token, Huier dared not accept it."
Murong Hui gave Lin Yingxue the jade pendant, and the bun's face wrinkled into a ball.
"No need to listen to those rumors. Since this jade pendant has been given to you, how can I take it back? Today I will take the initiative to give you that lotus garden."
After saying that, Lin Yingxue threw the land deed to Murong Hui regardless of the disapproval expression of the nanny beside her.
"My aunt Jizhou is so far from Beijing, and it's really hard to manage a Zhuangzi. Huier doesn't want it. She's too worried about so many things."
Murong Hui shook her head with annoyance, and the nanny beside her looked shocked.
People who ask for such a place can't come, but Murong Hui doesn't want it, which really opened her eyes.
But then I thought about it, Murong Hui was a sky-high princess after all, a royal relative and noble family. She has been piled up with gold and jade since she was a child. She had seen any good things, so she naturally wouldn't care about a farm.
What's more, Murong Hui was only nine years old, so she wouldn't understand the meaning of Zhuangzi at all, so she couldn't say that this Zhuangzi was not as precious as her imperial village in her eyes.
Lin Yingxue was afraid that she thought so, so she didn't explain much. Instead, she smiled and forced the land deed to Murong Hui and said, "This Zhuangziquan regarded it as the dowry I bought for you."
Murong Hui nodded in confusion, but unexpectedly this was the result. After chatting for a few words, she was driven back to the East Side Palace by Lin Yingxue for dinner.
After Murong Hui walked out of Fengyi Palace, she was still in a dizzy state.
Seeing her expression, Xu Qing thought Lin Yingxue was angry with Murong Hui, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She walked forward quickly, originally trying to comfort Murong Hui for a few words, but she saw the land deed in Murong Hui's hand.
She froze and looked at the deed and was even more shocked.
Once upon a time, she heard that although Princess Linghui was not born by the Empress, she was very favored and the Empress was never stingy with the benefits.
But I didn't expect that the Empress would be so generous. Such a good farm can be regarded as rare in a century, and she is willing to give it to others just like that.
"What's rare about this farm?"
Seeing Xu Qing's chin dropping, Murong Hui became more curious and asked quickly.
Gao Ziyue, who was beside him, was also a little confused, so she looked at Xu Qing.
"Your Highness wants to spend a meal, how about we chat while eating?"
Seeing that both of them were curious, Xu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least the storm had passed.
After the three of them returned to the East Parting Hall, Murong Hui asked Mama Zhang to go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes. The three of them gathered at the table, and Xu Qing told the story of Heyuan to the two.
"Even if Sister Xu doesn't say it, I'll probably guess what kind of love this is a story."
Gao Ziyue picked up a piece of Dongpo pork, and she ate it all over the mouth, and couldn't help but speak in her mouth.
Xu Qing nodded and then seriously talked about the version she knew.
The owner of the Heyuan Garden and his wife built this Heyuan Garden together. The couple lived in harmony and were a couple that everyone envied.
However, one day his wife was seriously ill, and the owner of Heyuan hired a famous doctor but still failed to cure his wife's illness.
After his wife passed away, she told the owner of Heyuan that she would transform into a lotus and protect you for the rest of her life.
The owner of Heyuan was in pain and closed the Heyuan and refused to do anything. Until one day his eldest son went to visit him, he suddenly saw a woman next to the owner of Heyuan.
The woman's appearance is exactly the same as her wife back then. The two of them traveled to the lake together, which was very happy.
The eldest son of the owner of Heyuan didn't care, thinking that his father had just found someone with a similar appearance.
But after going there more times later, he realized that the woman was transformed by his mother and did not look similar at all.
"This is a myth, but it's quite sad and not happy at all."
Gao Ziyue put the last piece of Dongpo pork into her bowl, shook her head while eating.
"The key point is that this story represents the life and death of the couple. If the rumors that the emperor rewarded Heyuan to His Highness will be revealed, don't you think it's weird?"
Xu Qing sighed. This was what he was most worried about, so he couldn't wait to ask Murong Hui to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give the jade pendant to Lin Yingxue.
"This story is fake when you hear it, it's so mysterious."
Murong Hui shook her head, not believing such a crappy story.
The basic travel notes and stories in the collection of stories that Zhao Yu gave her are much more exciting than this one.
"But most people believed it and gave the lotus garden an alias, called Simeng Garden."
Xu Qing smiled bitterly. She actually didn't believe this, because this story was told by her deceased mother.
When her mother told her about this, she was still holding her younger brother in her arms. She looked full of longing and full of expectations for her future life.
However, after a few years, she passed away, and her father quickly reopened her strings and completely forgot her mother.
Xu Qing couldn't help feeling a little sad when she thought of this, so she picked up the cup and drank two large cups in a row.
Both of them realized that she was in a bad mood and hurriedly advised her not to drink anymore. They made do with a meal and took her out to ride a horse to relax.
Xu Qing doesn't ride very well on weekdays, and she is always a little cautious when riding a horse.
Today, she became more and more free and easy, and rode her horse and ran three laps in a row to drive Murong Hui over.
It was not until dusk that the three of them left the horse farm. Murong Hui was really tired, so she didn't stay in Ningcui Palace for long before returning to the East Parting Hall.
Qingyue had been waiting in the small living room for a long time. When she saw Murong Hui come back, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Your Highness, I have found out that Princess Rouhe did go to Jizhou. After hearing the palace servants who served her, she also specially visited the Lotus Garden."
Qingyue didn't continue to talk, but Murong Hui had already guessed that Rouhe must have asked Murong Jun for this jade pendant, but Murong Jun probably didn't give it to her.
Otherwise, she would not have gone to her to vent her anger as soon as she returned to the palace.
The only one in the palace who can make her angry is Murong Hui, and the other few are things she can't mess with.
