When I woke up early in the morning, it was raining. At first, it was just pattering like cow hair, but then it became heavier and heavier, and gradually it became a heavy rain. It was raining like pillars, and countless water splashed along the tiles on the eaves of the palace.
When I came down, I hit the eaves and made the metal ring. Swallowing novel www. The fresh air of the vegetation between heaven and earth was filled with water vapor, and there was a refreshing cold fragrance.
The rain became heavier in the afternoon. I took a look at the sky and said softly: "Liu Zhu, take your umbrella and go out with me."
Liu Zhu looked surprised and said: "Miss, such a heavy rain can't go anywhere."
Jingqing came up and persuaded: "Where are you going, little master? It's getting worse with such heavy rain hitting your upper body."
Jinxi also advised: "It's better to wait until the rain has subsided before going out."
I just said, "Come back when you go" and ignored their advice. Liu Zhu said helplessly: "Our young lady's temper has always been like this, so she always says what she says." She had to take a big umbrella and carefully help me out.
When I walked to the swing, there was no one around. I could only hear the sound of rain on the ground in the sparse shadows of apricot flowers. I lowered my head and looked at my embroidered shoes and skirt corners that were wet by the rain, and sighed slightly. It turned out that he had not come.
It's funny to think about it myself. Why did the majestic prince come to the palace to do this without staying in the palace to enjoy the rain and recite poems when it rained heavily? Maybe he just made a joke yesterday, and I was the only one who took it seriously; or maybe he sincerely invited me to join him.
I was appreciating the score, but it was inconvenient to enter the palace due to the weather. After thinking about it for a while, he was still in the future. It was quite chilly in the wind and rain, Liu Zhu stood next to me and whispered: "Miss, why don't we go back first."
I stared at the dense water curtain in front of me, which was like a thousand threads woven together. I was just silent. Liu Zhu didn't dare to speak anymore. I turned my head slightly and saw her shoulder that was soaked by the rain. My body was trembling slightly, and I felt oily.
However, Sheng Sheng took pity and said: "It's hard for you, let's go back first."
Liu Zhu hurriedly said "yes" and supported me all the way back. When Jinxi saw us coming back, he hurriedly cooked a thick dose of ginger soup for us to drink. I asked Liu Zhu to go down and change clothes immediately.
On a boring rainy night, I sat in the warm pavilion and played the piano. I was playing the song "Yulinlin". Listening to the sound of rain splashing outside the window, I felt a little dazed and my gestures became slow. Huanbi came in with fresh fruits and played
Said aside: "Is the lady playing "The Highness of the Mountain"?"
I came back to my senses and said, "Why did my ears not heal after entering the palace? This is "Yu Linlin"."
Huanbi said in surprise: "Miss, listen to it yourself, but "Yulinlin"?"
I was shocked, why didn't I know that the song I believed Ma Youjian was playing was "The Highness of the Mountain"? I called Liu Zhu in and asked, "How was the song I just played?"
Liu Zhu said: "Miss, are you talking about the song "The Highness of the Mountain" just now? It didn't sound better than other songs before, but I feel sour after listening to it today."
My heart felt cold, and it took me a long time to say: "Go and light a candle of sandalwood."
Liu Zhu answered "Yes", and Huan Bi said in a low voice: "Spring is not the time to light sandalwood. Are you upset, Miss?"
I glanced at her and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep."
I lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Sandalwood is the scent of calming the mind and meditating. I know, how can I not be upset? The mountains are high, and the moonrise is small. The moon is so small, how bright it is! I am thinking about something.
It's a long way. When I don't see you for a day, my heart becomes quiet. The sound of the piano has always revealed my heart, but I have something on my mind, and I can't let it go after I don't see you for a day? This is such a terrible and dangerous thing for me!
He is the King of Qinghe and I am a nobleman of Wan. There has never been any intersection between us, even though I am just a nobleman who lives in seclusion and has no favors. I understand that after I was recorded in the Yunyi Palace, I was destined to be a nobleman in my life.
That emperor's woman whose face I had never seen clearly. It was totally harmful and unhelpful for me to treat the men next to me like this, especially the emperor's younger brother. I turned over and sat up from the bed with a "huh", and watched quietly.
The small dancing flames on the red candle burning in the flower candlestick beside the bed. I thought to myself, from this moment on, while I can still keep a distance from him, I can no longer see him.
Now that I had made up my mind, I didn't go to the swing set for three or five days in a row. Meizhuang also didn't come for a few days in a row. He said that the emperor had been caught in the rain a few days ago and suffered some wind and cold, so he wanted to go to attend him. I
Knowing that the emperor was not feeling well, King Qinghe would definitely go to the palace to investigate, and he would not even step out of the palace gate for fear of encountering him again.
However, I felt uncomfortable in my heart. I was depressed for a few days. I heard that the emperor's illness was cured and the princes and ministers who visited him had gone home. Then I felt free to go outside to relax.
I live in seclusion in Tangli Palace on weekdays, wearing only the most homely simple clothes, and only a few simple pearls on my head, far away from the fancy clothes. Before going out, I still feel nervous, as if I have been looking forward to it all week.
I was afraid that I would meet him again. He sat in front of the bronze mirror again, picked out an emerald hairpin and inserted it into it. He also picked up a handful of silver screw pins and inserted them into a half-moon shape on his bun. He held up a pair in his hand.
I wanted to wear dotted earrings. I turned my head and saw Chang'e flying to the moon with the pattern on the edge of the bronze mirror. I thought of the ancient poem "Looking at the blue sea and blue sky, where is my heart every night?", my heart suddenly froze slightly, and my gestures also changed.
Slowed down. As soon as I let go of my hand, the pair of dotted earrings fell on the dressing table, spinning slowly, with a faint pearlescent light. I felt quite disappointed in my heart, and I felt that I was very stupid to decorate like this. I have always been "female"
"He looks like someone who pleases himself", but I should not regard him as someone who pleases himself.
Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, you have always thought of yourself as smart, but you can't even see through this? When you ask yourself this question, it makes you even more sad. I have seen through it, but even though I have seen through it, I still can't control myself.
What's wrong with me? I'm so abnormal. I'm just a man you meet by chance but not available. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. Finally, I was bored and walked out alone. When Liu Zhu saw me alone, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Come out and wait.
After the spring rain, the flowers and leaves grew more prosperous, and the stamens bloomed all night. The apricot blossoms on the tree did not wither and fall after the heavy rain, but bloomed more colorfully, like the morning glow shadow condensed on the tree. It was just a spring scene.
No thanks, but the person from that day has disappeared.
I felt sad. When Liu Zhu saw the hesitant look on my face, he said, "I'd recommend Miss to swing on the swing for a while to relax her muscles and bones."
I don't know if Liu Zhu was absent-minded, but she moved her gestures very slowly, and then swayed slowly for a few times. Suddenly, she heard a woman behind her scolding her harshly: "Who is on the swing! Why can't I come over when I see Mrs. Yu!"
I was unhappy when I heard someone talking to me like this, so I resisted getting off the swing and turned around to take a look. I saw a slender woman wearing a palace concubine's uniform and pearls on her hair standing under the tree, her face full of arrogance.
A person who looked like a palace maid next to me pointed at me and called out: "If you don't come here yet, I'm talking about you." I was immediately angry, but I still tried my best to hold it back, keeping the smile on my face, and just stood there unable to pass. Liu Zhu frowned and said:
"My young master is from Wangui, Tangli Palace."
The palace maid showed a timid look in her eyes and looked at me for a few times. Seeing that I was wearing simple clothes, she seemed not to believe her. She just looked at Madam Yu. Madam Yu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Is there anyone like Wan Guiren in the palace? I have never
heard about it."
The palace maid seemed to be trying her best to remember something, and said for a long time: "Reporting to my young master, there is a noble person living in Tangli Palace, but he has a stubborn illness and rarely goes out."
Madam Yu narrowed her eyes, came closer and said, "How do you do, Mr. Wan Gui?" Her expression was very disrespectful, and she nodded slightly in salute, without even bending her knees.
I smiled lightly and said, "Hello, Mrs. Yu. Why are you so excited to walk around these corners?"
Mrs. Yu's eyes flashed, and she said contemptuously: "My sister has to serve the emperor, how can I be as free as my elder sister?" After a pause, she added: "My sister has something to advise her. Since she is suffering from a serious illness, it is better to go out less.
So as not to infect others and become more offensive." After saying that, I smiled triumphantly and started to leave. I was already extremely angry in my heart, having been humiliated by her for no reason, Liu Zhu was so annoyed that even his eyebrows stood up.
My thoughts changed and I said loudly: "Thank you sister for reminding me. As a sister, I know it well. But I also have something to tell my sister."
She said "Oh", stopped and looked at me proudly: "I wonder what your sister has to say?"
I said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor always likes women with good etiquette. I want to tell my sister that the ceremony that my sister just made to me was very bad. She must be not familiar with the etiquette in the palace. How about this, I let me
The maid Liu Zhu will show you." She said and glanced at Liu Zhu.
Liu Zhu understood immediately and said to Mrs. Yu Fu Yifu: "Please take a look, little master." After saying that, he knelt down and saluted me, lowered his head and said: "Sister, Mrs. Yu of Hongni Pavilion, please see Wan Noble, Wan Noble is good.
"
I said with a smile: "I have often heard the sisters in the palace praise my sister Yu for being smart. I must have learned how to do it. Please follow the example Liu Zhu demonstrated just now and salute me again."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu was already so angry that her mouth and nose were twisted, and she said sternly: "You, a noble person who has no favor in the palace, how dare you let me, the young master, bow to you respectfully? You are worthy of it!"
The maid next to her hurriedly pulled off her sleeve and said: "My lord, she... Wan Guiren's status is indeed higher than yours, why not..."
Mrs. Yu became angry and slapped the palace maid in the face. The palace maid's face suddenly swelled up and she took two steps back. She cursed: "You eat things that crawl inside and outside! Being timid is useless at all."
." He sneered at me again: "Don't you really think that your status can determine your status? Whoever the emperor favors will be respected. Otherwise, no matter how high your status is, it will just be a humble body! Not to mention your status.
You are only two levels above me, why do you dare to instruct me?"
I was about to open my mouth when a familiar voice not far away said coldly: "What if I ordered you to pay homage to Mr. Wangui?"
When I heard the sound and looked over, I saw that face that looked so familiar, and my heart suddenly became confused, like a cold and fever illness in my childhood. My face was cold for a while, then hot for a while, alternating with each other suddenly, and I couldn't help but stare.
Looking at him, I don't know what to do. It seems that I don't believe it, but I can't help but believe that there is no one else in the world who dares to call himself "I" except him.
Madam Yu's expression suddenly changed, she hurriedly knelt on the ground with the palace maid, and said respectfully: "Hail, Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded and did not ask her to get up. She asked cautiously: "Why is the emperor here?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you here?"
Mrs. Yu timidly said: "I heard that the emperor likes to come here to relax recently. I think the scenery must be beautiful, so I came to take a look."
The emperor smiled, his tone slightly sarcastic, and said: "It shows that you are not honest, what you said is not entirely true."
Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, Mrs. Yu did not think deeply and said in a charming voice: "I just want to spend more time with the emperor."
The emperor's voice was stern. Although he was still smiling, his eyes were cold: "How come you know my whereabouts very well?"
Madam Yu saw something was wrong, her body trembled, and she immediately bowed her head and said nothing.
He smiled at me, and I just stared at him blankly without saying anything. I pushed my arm in a hurry, and then I came to my senses. I knelt down towards him in confusion and said, "Your Majesty.
My concubine, Mrs. Zhen from Tangli Palace, has come to see the emperor. May the emperor be blessed." Liu Zhu also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
He helped me up and said kindly: "Your body has not recovered yet, why bother to perform such a big ceremony." Then he leaned close to my ear and whispered: "I broke the appointment that day, and it was not intentional."
I blushed and said, "I don't dare."
"I've been here waiting for you every day these past few days, why don't you go out?"
I said anxiously: "Your Majesty." I glanced at Madam Yu, hinting that there were others present.
He called Liu Zhu to stand up and said: "How can I support your mistress? She is weak." He suppressed his smile and looked at Mrs. Yu who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to express her anger. He said slowly: "Your boss
The problem has not been corrected. It seems that the punishment I gave you last time was too light."
Madam Yu heard the conversation between me and the emperor, and the sweat had already trickled down her forehead. Now she heard the emperor's tone of voice that contained severe punishment. She hurriedly knelt down and took two steps forward, grabbed the corner of the emperor's robe and cried: "Your Majesty.
, I know I was wrong. I was confused and confused today and that’s why I bumped into your sister. I am willing to apologize to Mr. Wan, and I also ask the emperor to forgive me this time."
The emperor looked at her with disgust and did not answer. Madam Yu, seeing that something was wrong, quickly took off her hairpin and earrings, knelt down in front of me, kowtowed and cried: "My sister made a big mistake today, and I dare not beg for your forgiveness. But please."
Your Majesty, for the sake of serving the Emperor together with me, please forgive me."
I glanced at Madam Yu, who was disheveled and crying, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy. I pushed away Liu Zhu's hand and walked up to the emperor and said softly: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no greater good. I think Madam Yu really knows her mistakes."
Please forgive her this time."
The emperor glanced at her and said, "Since Lady Wan is interceding for you in person, I can't help but flatter her too much. It's just that you refuse to change despite repeated admonitions. It's really abominable!" The emperor walked a few feet away, clapped his hands, and showed a few dense bushes.
A Huangmen chamberlain in his fifties and a dozen or so Yulin guards walked out from behind the tree. They came forward to say hello and saluted me. The emperor frowned and said, "I knew you were following me. That's all, Li Chang, here's my message."
The decree has been passed, and Mrs. Yu will be demoted to Changyi, and she will move out of Hongni Pavilion on the same day!" Li Chang lowered his head and said "yes", and was about to turn around to go down. The emperor glanced at the trembling Madam Yu and said: "Wait a minute. Yu Changyi
, didn't you say that Wan Guiren's status is only two levels higher than yours? Li Chang, passed the decree to the Sixth Palace, and Jin Guiren Zhen's family was Wan's concubine."
Li Chang was startled, with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, Wan... I'm afraid... it's against the rules to be granted the title of Jin before the young master goes to bed."
The emperor's expression changed, and there was a chill in his words: "You are doing your job better and better now. You have to ask more about my orders."
Li Chang was shocked, kowtowed twice, confessed his crime, and went to deliver the order.
The emperor looked at me with a smile: "Why are you so happy? You even forgot to thank me."
I knelt down and said seriously: "I have done nothing for the country, I am helpless in the dragon vein, and I have not yet slept with you. I really dare not accept the emperor's grace."
The emperor smiled and said: "Kneel down at every turn and don't worry about tiring yourself. Since I said you can do it, you must do it."
I was so moved that the emperor didn't even look at Mrs. Yu. He only looked at the frightened palace maid next to Mrs. Yu, and said in a cold tone: "You are a bastard, just do hard labor in the Department of Punishment!" The two of them quickly thanked her and supported her.
