Chapter 166: Cooking Wine and Talking About Heroes
Bai Qiqian only now fully understands the loneliness in the deep palace.
How many times, as long as she closed her eyes, Ye Liyuan's peerless and proud figure would appear in front of her, leaving her speechless.
I obviously told myself not to think about him again.
However, I can't help myself.
When Concubine Yun came to visit her, she was very surprised: "Fuyao, why have you lost so much weight after not seeing me for a few days?"
Bai Qiqian touched her cheek. It turned out that she had really lost a lot of weight in the past few days. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful eyes were dyed with a touch of sadness. She stared at Concubine Yun, not knowing what was going on.
What to think about.
Concubine Yun frowned: "Fuyao, I have never seen you look so decadent."
No matter how big things happened in the past, her eyes always showed a lingering confidence.
Concubine Yun took a sip of tea and sighed quietly.
Thinking of the past, Bai Qiqian was suddenly startled and looked away: "Yunran, you are right, I shouldn't continue to be so decadent." The vow she made back then came to mind. In this life, she will live a happy life.
All people admire him.
Bai Qiqian raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Ziyuan, bring me my lyre."
Ziyuan returned to the main hall, took Bai Qiqian's lyre, handed it to her, and then stood aside obediently.
With delicate jade hands, she plucked the strings and adjusted the sound.
Recalling the first time she played the song Phoenix Seeking Phoenix at a banquet, she amazed everyone.
Even Ye Liyuan's eyes were full of disbelief. At that time, he must not have thought that he was also proficient in music.
Ye Liyuan's musical attainments were so high that no one in the entire Jinhui Dynasty could match him. However, he seldom played, and now it seems that he is probably the only one with good music skills.
Bai Qiqian ordered: "Yun Ran, why don't we learn from the ancients and discuss heroes over wine."
Concubine Yun's eyes shone with a frightening light, and she clapped her hands and praised: "Okay, I have been silent in this palace for a long time, but I rarely have this kind of passion. Today, I will accompany you for a while!"
Bai Qiqian laughed: "Ziyuan, put on the stove and serve the sweet-scented osmanthus brew."
Ziyuan responded and stepped back. After a while, two palace maids came over with their hands full, one of them was holding a small gilded stove, and the other was carrying a food box.
Yunran stood up, took the wine bottle from Ziyuan's hand, and said softly: "Let me do it."
Ziyuan smiled broadly: "Concubine Yun, I'd better leave these matters to my servant."
After saying that, Ziyuan lit the stove, and there was an exquisite basin placed on the stove. She added half of the water in it, and then placed the wine pot in the basin.
Bai Qiqian pondered for a moment and said softly: "I will sing a song and see which hero you think of. Do you think this is good?"
Yunran smiled and her dimples bloomed: "It's all up to you."
Huanwen's charming voice came: "Auntie, this is naturally good. Concubine Yun can listen to you sing songs, play the piano, and tell stories. How can this be bad?"
Concubine Yun laughed: "Huanhan, do you mean that I took advantage of your aunt?"
Huanwan stuck out her tongue: "Ms. Yunfei, you said this yourself, Huanhua didn't say it."
Bai Qi smiled lightly and said: "Huanwan, you are such a weird little girl, if you do this again, Concubine Yun will ignore you in the future."
Huanwan pouted her little mouth and rubbed herself into Yunran's arms: "Concubine Yunhan loves Huanhua so much, how could she not care about her?"
Yunran touched Hanhan's head: "Huanhan, be good, let's listen to Fuyao play the piano."
The jade hand gently plucked the strings, and Bai Qiqian opened his mouth to sing: "A smile will captivate a city, and another smile will captivate a country. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked. The enemy's country is destroyed, and the adviser is dead. How do you know that this man has the palm of his hand?"
."
Concubine Yun thought for a moment: "One smile can captivate a city, and another smile can captivate a country. It reminds me of Mei Si."
Huanwen quickly said: "Auntie, I also know Meisi. She is a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people, and she is the most favored harem. According to legend, the emperor sent eight hundred miles of letters to remind him that the country was in trouble. The soldiers guarding the border were working day and night, non-stop.
I came here just to let Mei Si see the sight of thousands of troops and make her smile."
Concubine Yun also sighed: "Hurry up for the documents from hundreds of miles away, and return thousands of miles away from the world of mortals."
Ziyuan filled the glass with wine and handed it to Concubine Yun and Bai Qiqian: "Your Majesty, if the emperor had some sense of propriety, he would not do such ridiculous things."
Bai Qiqian raised a glass and drank with Concubine Yun: "Zi Yuan is right, the fault is not with the beauty, but with the emperor."
Huanwen opened her innocent eyes: "Auntie, why is it not the fault of the beauty? The Taifu once told me that if the evil concubine hadn't caused trouble in the harem, the country would not have been destroyed."
Bai Qiqian drank the warm wine and said slowly: "It's just that the emperor is ignorant and ignorant."
Concubine Yun took a sip of wine and said: "The enemy's country was destroyed, and the advisers were killed. Their achievements shocked the lord, and they were executed by the king, countless of them."
Bai Qi smiled faintly, plucked the strings of the piano, and sang: "The emperors will not be reunited, and the world will turn into dust and earth. The princes will go to the west, but Yao Mu will not be seen. The travelers have not returned, and the success or failure will be left in the history books."
The princes, generals and prime ministers are just mediocre, how can their fate depend on God’s help?”
Concubine Yun clapped her hands: "Princes, generals, and ministers are just mediocre. How can their fate depend on God's help? These words are really good."
Ziyuan sighed at the side: "My dear, I am reminded of a reckless hero in history. When the world was in conflict, he rose up in rebellion and killed the tyrant."
Concubine Yun laughed loudly and said: "Ziyuan, are you talking about Zhao Qiming?"
Ziyuan nodded: "Yes, it's Zhao Qiming. I like what he said very much. Princes and generals have a lot to do with Xiang Ning."
After that, he filled up the glasses for Bai Qiqian and Yun Fei.
Bai Qiqian said slowly: "The emperor will not be reunited, and the world will turn into dust and dirt. Long live the king, but this long live, can it really be long lived? Infinite mountains and rivers, how many emperors and generals have been buried. In the end, it is all in vain.
"
Concubine Yun smiled: "The king is destined to live a long and prosperous life. These are just beautiful expectations."
Bai Qiqian stared at the scenery in the distance: "You are right, this is just a beautiful expectation. If you really live a long and prosperous life, it will be..."
Before he finished speaking, Huanhan rushed to answer: "That must be the turtle of ten thousand years."
Concubine Yun couldn't hold it back for a moment, the drink in her mouth spurted out, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Huanwen's face turned red with embarrassment: "Concubine Yun, I'm not wrong. That's what my aunt said, a thousand-year-old bastard, a ten-thousand-year turtle."
Concubine Yun joked: "Fuyao, do you still teach Huanwan these things on weekdays?"
Bai Qiqian said with some embarrassment: "I just talk about it on weekdays, who would have thought that this ghost girl would actually learn it."
Huanwan made a face.
Bai Qiqian looked at Huanwan lovingly, with a smile in her eyes: "There are thousands of enemies in Western Chu, and the overlord Wu Zui sinks his boat and breaks his cauldron. Chu songs are rising from all sides, but what can be done, the soul is broken, Wujiang provokes the new dew. Hongmen goes to the banquet
On Chencang Ferry, strong winds are blowing, clouds are flying, and it is bitter at high places. Drinking poisonous wine by oneself is comparable to the humiliation of the crotch, so how can we talk about wealth and rank?"
After hearing Bai Qiqian's lyrics, everyone fell into silence.
Bai Qiqian said in a low voice: "The overlord of Western Chu, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, fought with all his strength, how heroic and ambitious he was. Unfortunately, he was defeated later, and his beloved woman committed suicide in front of him. He fled to Wujiang River, facing the vast river,
In the end, he committed suicide. Even his mount sank into the river."
Concubine Yun thought thoughtfully: "Overlord of Western Chu? I have never heard of this character."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "This is just a character I saw in a novel, and I felt emotional for a moment."
Ziyuan asked curiously: "Empress, please tell us his story."
Bai Qiqian worked up her emotions and roughly told the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.
Tears fell from Concubine Yun's eyes: "It is unbelievable that a man as strong as the Overlord of Western Chu could have such tenderness. However, this kind of emotion probably only exists in novels and scripts, and it probably won't exist in reality."
How could Concubine Yun know that these were all things that really happened in Bai Qiqian's original time and space?
Bai Qiqian said quietly: "How many men in the world can be like Xiang Yu?"
There is a touch of sadness in the air.
Huanwan was the first to break the silence: "Auntie, what is the Hongmen Banquet?"
Bai Qiqian explained: "This is also a plot in the novel script. It is about Liu Bang taking all his confidants to a banquet. The Hongmen Banquet is actually a banquet of life and death."
Liu Bang was finally able to win over Xiang Yu, and the main reason was just six words: knowing how to advance and retreat, knowing gains and losses.
Concubine Yun picked up the wine glass: "Fuyao, do you like the Overlord of Western Chu or Liu Bang?"
Bai Qiqian drank all the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "I neither like the Overlord of Western Chu nor Liu Bang."
Yun Ran covered his mouth and laughed, and said with great interest: "If it were me, I would rather be Yu Concubine and accompany the Overlord of Western Chu."
Bai Qiqian whispered: "I just want to be Fuyao, and I just want to be by Ye Liyuan's side."
The low voice, like a murmuring sigh, floated in the air, and finally fell into his heart.
Not far away, the light white figure swayed gently, with an indescribable sadness in its eyes. The thin lips wriggled for a moment, and in the end it was just a deep sigh. Who could have known that he only wanted to be her in this life?
Her husband is by her side.
However, his Qianqian has already faded away and disappeared with the wind.
The wind blows, and the surrounding leaves rustle, like a lover talking.
The petals of some flowers in the garden were blown off by the wind and scattered everywhere. Ye Liyuan stretched out his palm, and a pale pink petal fell from his palm.
There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, which made his heart sad.
Ye Liyuan just stood here quietly, lost in his own memories.
Little did he know that behind him, the woman whose face was very similar to Bai Qiqian's, had a light of resentment in her eyes. She was grabbing a corner of her clothes with both hands, as if it was her enemy and wanted to
