Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

When the emperor traveled, he did so with great fanfare, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Wen Yuan was not used to being followed by so many people, so Li Zhao asked them to guard the gate of the Imperial Garden, and then took Eunuch Zhou and Ling'er into the Imperial Garden.

The emperor and the imperial concubine walked side by side. Wen Yuan walked slowly, so Li Zhao slowed down to match her pace.

The hairpin on Wen Yuan's head swayed gently, and her demeanor was dignified and elegant, simply like a textbook example.

In modern costume dramas, some actors always swing their hairpins all over the screen, and their temperament has nothing to do with noble ladies. Unlike Wen Yuan, her temperament comes from her bones and is natural.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, the fragrance of various flowers hits you as soon as you enter the door.

In modern times, spring is a good time for outings.

Invite three or five friends, bring a canopy tent, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, set up a barbecue grill, drink fine wine and eat delicious food, listen to music and play games, indulge yourself, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, shout loudly when you want to shout, and release it freely to the mountains and rivers.

Once upon a time, the four of them had experienced such a time.

Although the materials were incomplete, they were in the wilderness, and the stones on the ground hurt their buttocks, their happiness was real.

In the past, the four hearts were tied tightly with the same rope.

Now, he has fine clothes, delicious food, wealth and power, but the rope has loosened, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted and covered with scars.

In the garden, birds are singing overhead and butterflies are fluttering around, busy spreading pollen.

Ji Xingyao and Eunuch Zhou followed closely behind their two masters. She leaned over to Eunuch Zhou's ear and said:

"Eunuch Zhou, did you see that? Our queen has been smiling all day long."

Eunuch Zhou laughed along, "Yes, yes."

"The Empress has been cooped up in Yonghe Palace all day. She must have been feeling suffocated. She always feels bloated in the chest and has difficulty breathing."

When Eunuch Zhou heard this, he was shocked. He asked hurriedly, "Is there such a thing? Can you summon the imperial physician?"

"Of course I have. The imperial physician said it's a heart disease. Heart disease is difficult to cure, and medicine is useless. I think if Your Majesty can walk around the Imperial Garden more often, the heart disease may be cured without treatment."

"Well... the Emperor is very busy with official duties, I'm afraid he can't spare time to accompany the Empress every day."

Ji Xingyao covered her mouth and laughed: "We have the servant and Li Ma to accompany us. We have been serving the queen for so long, isn't the father-in-law still worried?"

However, His Majesty did not lift the ban on the concubine.

Eunuch Zhou pulled his face back and didn't respond.

"Your Majesty, if you're in a good mood, your appetite will be good, and if your appetite is good, the baby in your belly will naturally be good, right, Eunuch Zhou?"

"Yes Yes."

Ji Xingyao kept whispering in Eunuch Zhou's ear: "Look at our queen's bearing and demeanor. I have never seen anyone more noble than her in the whole world."

Eunuch Zhou's forehead was covered with sweat. Ji Xingyao was almost saying the words "Mother of the World".

He simply shut up, pretended to be busy, and took two quick steps forward to distance himself from her.

Ji Xingyao knew when to stop and shut up, then slowly followed behind to admire the flowers.

As the sun grew higher, Li Zhao was afraid that Wen Yuan would be sunburned, so he took her to Ningxiang Pavilion to rest.

Ningxiang Pavilion, as the name suggests, can condense fragrance.

This is the best viewing spot in the entire imperial garden. Bright yellow gauze curtains are hung around the pavilion. When the spring breeze blows, the gauze curtains sway gently like graceful dancers.

Wen Yuan hasn't left Yonghe Palace for a long time. It's a rare opportunity for him to come out, so it would be a lie to say that he is unhappy.

The more people lack something, the more they desire it.

Freedom has become Wen Yuan's obsession.

The beauty of the Imperial Garden made her smell the scent of freedom. The desire to break free from the cage was surging, clamoring at the bottom of the well, desperate to grow wings and fly away.

She took a deep breath, trying to remember the fragrance and beauty of the moment.

Li Zhao, who was sitting opposite her, kept looking at her.

Wen Yuan was already extremely beautiful, and she dressed up specially today. She was so beautiful that Li Zhao's heart fluttered up and down with the corners of her mouth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel very happy today."

Wen Yuan had a bright red peony flower inserted in her hair, which echoed the golden double hairpins on her head.

Li Zhao picked this peony himself and put it on Wen Yuan's head.

"I am happy too." Li Zhao's eyes were full of affection, gentle and loving.

Eunuch Zhou looked at the peony and thought that peonies come in many colors, but the emperor had chosen bright red.

Doesn’t it mean that the emperor and empress are of one mind?

Eunuch Zhou was shocked, but did not show it on his face.

Just when the emperor and the imperial concubine showed signs of breaking the ice, an inopportune voice broke this "beautiful" scene.

"Brother Emperor, are you also in the Imperial Garden?"

Amire was wearing a refreshing southern Xinjiang spring outfit, with a well-made animal skin belt around her waist, which made her waist look slender.

Her acting in this "chance encounter" was so poor that even Ji Xingyao felt embarrassed for her.

However, Ji Xingyao welcomed Amire's arrival with open arms and legs.

As for love rivals, there must be a head-on conflict to deepen the hostility.

No matter which side Li Zhao favors, the conflict between the two will only deepen.

From a distance, Ji Xingyao saw that Li Zhao's eyes had turned dark and his expression had obviously darkened.

"Why is the princess here? Isn't she here to listen to the opera?"

Amire walked straight into Ningxiang Pavilion, ignoring Wen Yuan. His deep blue eyes were fixed on Li Zhao. "Without the Emperor, what's the point of me listening alone? Without the Emperor to explain, how can I understand the meaning of the song? Emperor, will you accompany me back to Mingyue Palace to listen to the opera?"

Ji Xingyao raised his eyebrows: Amire is here to snatch people away.

Well done!

Wen Yuan still sat upright, not showing any sign of annoyance at all because of Amire's arrival.

She smiled and looked at Li Zhao indifferently.

"I am accompanying the Imperial Concubine to visit the Imperial Garden. When we have some free time in the afternoon, we will go to the Mingyue Palace."

This is the step that Li Zhao handed to Amire.

Unfortunately, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang did not understand the profoundness of the Han language. In her understanding, the emperor had to choose between the two and chose the imperial concubine instead of her.

"But, clearly, the Emperor used to be with me at this time every day."

Amire felt aggrieved, and after saying this, he glared at Wen Yuan fiercely.

"Amire!" Li Zhao concealed the gentleness on his face, and his low voice carried a warning.

Amire was frightened by Li Zhao and shrank his shoulders, looking at him in disbelief.

How could the emperor brother, who has always been tolerant, yell at her like that?

And in front of the imperial concubine!

Amire bit his lower lip, leaving a tooth mark: "Emperor brother?"

Wen Yuan had seen enough of the opera. She stroked the peony on her head and gently advised, "Your Majesty, I can stroll around the Imperial Garden on my own. You can go to Mingyue Palace to listen to the opera."

He is well-educated, gentle and pleasant, which makes Amire's unreasonable behavior even more unreasonable in contrast.

"Eunuch Zhou, send Princess Amire back to the palace."

Ji Xingyao sneered. After all, the royal heir was more important. Li Zhao had to choose between the two and chose Wen Yuan.
