In a blink of an eye, it was the end of March.

The originally quiet Jiangdu Palace suddenly became lively again these days. Shang Ruyi saw the maids and eunuchs busy working as if they were preparing something, so he asked the maids serving him.

One of them said: "Back to Madam, the Cold Food Festival will be in a few days, and Your Majesty will celebrate it in the palace."

"Cold Food Festival, celebration?"

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "It should be a sacrifice, right?"

The palace maid laughed awkwardly and shook her head.

The Cold Food Festival has been a day for worshiping ancestors since ancient times. Few people would celebrate anything on this day. Shang Ruyi didn't know what Chu Yang's intention was in arranging this. Just at this time, Eunuch Yu came with people.

He saluted Shang Ruyi and then said: "Madam, Your Majesty is waiting for Madam in the inner palace. Please move."

Shang Ruyi asked: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Yu said, "Your Majesty has arranged some things at the back. Madam, please come over and take a look."

Wang Shaoji added: "There is just one thing for which I need to ask your Majesty for permission."

Eunuch Yu said: "Your Majesty specially asked craftsmen from the south to make these flowers. One flower costs two cents of silver."

Chu Yang looked at her coldly and said, "Have you forgotten that I once said that all things are created for people to use. If they are not used, then they are born without any meaning."

All the scenery he created are breathtakingly beautiful.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly quickened her pace. When she passed the Aquarius Gate, the scene in front of her immediately made her open her eyes wide in shock.

Just when they were about to reach the garden that day, they heard a sweet silver bell ringing in the distance.

Shang Ruyi said: "Nothing happened because the palace door was closed. But if the palace door is opened -"

And at that time, she also advised him - anything should be used in moderation.

"...!"

"..."

"..."

Eunuch Yu, who had been standing aside, broke out in a cold sweat at this time.

Chu Yang glanced at him, but before he said anything, Wang Shaoji had already said with a smile: "Young Madam Yuwen is worrying too much. You are also living in the palace these days, has anything unexpected happened?"

Shang Ruyi wanted to say something else, but Chu Yang already said coldly: "Okay."

Wang Shaoji immediately said: "Does the young lady mean that there will be rebels appearing in the Jiangdu Palace at the feet of the emperor?"

She said it was an invitation, but in fact she had no position to refuse, so she got up and followed Eunuch Yu. But on the way, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but asked: "Eunuch Yu, I heard that His Majesty is celebrating the Cold Food Festival. What are you celebrating?

?”

Of course she didn't forget that this was the first time the two of them met. Seeing Chu Yang's extravagant behavior, she couldn't help but tried to admonish him, but she was rebutted by him.

"..."

Chu Yang seemed very satisfied with her "discourtesy". He reached out and grabbed Shang Ruyi's wrist and led her into this picturesque scenery.

But at this time, looking into Chu Yang's eyes, she could not speak these familiar words.

Can’t the inner palace door be closed?

"..."

"..."

It's very beautiful...

Chu Yang glanced at Shang Ruyi coldly, but didn't say anything. He only looked up at Wang Shaoji, thought for a while, and said: "The inner palace door does not need to be closed, but the Guangming Gate should be closed on time."

She said: "This is -"

Wang Shaoji's brows frowned slightly.

Shang Ruyi looked up and was startled again, because she discovered that there was a huge net made of gold thread hanging above the garden.

And above their heads, there were constant and melodious ringing sounds.

Wang Shaoji's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately leaned forward and saluted: "Yes."

And at this moment, the familiar, disgusting voice sounded from the side: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Upon hearing the word "rebel", Chu Yang's face immediately darkened.

The further you go, the more you can see some beautiful spring scenes made of yarn and silk, or in other words, made of silver. For example, there are several trees by the roadside, which are also covered with red ribbons, and the wind keeps blowing.

Flying like a laurel tree in the moon palace.

Both of them lowered their heads and closed their mouths.

"I originally wanted to go out to the palace for an outing, but the people below said that the weather outside the city has been bad recently, so I asked people to move all these scenery to the palace."

"you--"

But Shang Ruyi on the side couldn't help but frown.

He stood under the tree and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the round silver bell above his head. As the bell trembled slightly, the golden wire net also trembled. All the bells rang together, like a hundred birds chirping, which was pleasant to the ear.

"However, there is only a net, which looks unlucky."

"landscape?"

Of course she knew that what Chu Yang couldn't hear the most now was the word "rebel". In fact, no one was allowed to mention the fall of Dongdu anymore. When Wang Shaoji brought it up like this, she immediately said: "Of course I am not this

mean."

Seeing this situation, Chu Yang showed a proud smile on his face.

He nodded and said, "Okay, you did this well."

Shang Ruyi frowned, didn't say anything more, and just continued walking forward.

Chu Yang's brows immediately knitted together.

He smiled and said: "This is the scenery that Jiangnan should have."

"Pretty?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him silently, trying to say something but stopping.

When I came here before, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo. I don’t know why, but now it is the sound of ringing.

Shang Ruyi's heart also sank.

Then he said: "It's not a celebration, it's just that your Majesty plans to go out and visit the garden on that day. But it's not very safe outside recently, so your Majesty doesn't plan to leave the palace, so he just goes for an outing in the palace, so he specially arranged some scenery.

"

When I took a closer look, I realized that the flowers were actually made of yarn. They were so lifelike that they couldn't be identified without looking carefully.

The huge garden was covered with a thick carpet as always, but this time the carpet was dark green, and it looked like soft grass all over the ground. However, the garden was not as clear as before, but instead there were many

Many screens divide this garden into countless winding roads; the silk screens are embroidered with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and there are also beautiful maids. Looking around, it seems that there are many people in this garden.

It’s like enjoying the spring while outing.

She thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, if you can't close the palace door, will something happen?"

However, who can know what such beautiful scenery will look like in the end?

It's not that she doesn't know how much money is spent in the palace. Her daily meals alone are enough to feed several families, but such waste is still limited. If the entire Jiangdu Palace is really decorated like this, the money spent will be huge.

Dare to imagine.

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, and turned around to see Wang Shaoji appearing at the door of the garden again. When Eunuch Yu saw him, he still sighed and could only salute respectfully.

"..."

Shang Ruyi was a little dizzy and walked all the way to the tree. Looking at the white jade-like flowers blooming on it and the golden wire mesh covering his head, he couldn't help but asked softly: "Your Majesty, why are you making such a big tree here?"

Open a net?"

"On the day of the Cold Food Festival, we will come here for an outing and enjoy the spring."

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.

"That is, if the bead curtain is hung, the palace door must not be closed, otherwise, there will be no beautiful scenery with the candlelight shining at all."

Wang Shaoji said: "Wei Chen has asked people to work overnight to make twenty pairs of bead curtains. On the day of the Cold Food Festival, they will also be hung on the palace gates around the garden. Under the moonlight, the pearls will shine, adding to the brilliance.

"

"I also had people work all night to make these thousands of silver bells. With these things, those birds will not dare to come down."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned around and saw Chu Yang walking out from behind the screen and looking at him with a smile.

Chu Yang said: "I asked people to prepare a lot of flowers, but there are also a lot of birds here. Two days ago, they were pecked and took away a lot of them, so I asked people to hang a net here."

Chu Yang nodded when he heard the words: "That makes sense. Then you can pass on the order and wait until the night of the Cold Food Festival. The inner palace door does not need to be closed."

There are countless silver bells hanging on the net. When the wind blows, the bells immediately make a sweet tinkling sound, like the laughter of these women on an outing.

When Chu Yang heard this, his eyes lit up.
