He nodded, with tears shining brightly in the corners of his eyes, and kissed my forehead. After devouring the novel www. for a long time, he regretted: "I just pity Fu Jieyu, she is also a good woman."
I was silently lost in thought, "What's more pitiful is that she was so favored that the emperor didn't even sigh after her death. After all, in the eyes of the emperor, Fu Jieyu and I are just shadows." I suppressed my thoughts,
He lowered his head and forced a smile and said: "Then Yiri, you are so good at writing a seven-card machine, which makes me very sad. I also played a seven-card machine, how can I punish you?"
I pondered for a while and whispered: "Seven pieces of paper. Spring silkworms spin all their silk. Don't teach me how to cut Luo Qi easily. Cut it for no reason. Fairy Luan and colorful phoenix, divided into two kinds of clothes."
Xuan Qing hurriedly covered my mouth and laughed and cursed: "You are so cruel. I just said, 'I'm just afraid of being cut lightly', but you have 'cut it for no reason, Xianluan Caifeng, divided into two parts'"
Yi'. I really deserve a slap in the mouth, are you deliberately trying to curse me?"
I saw that his expression changed drastically. He was different from the past, so I laughed and said, "I'm just playing with poetry. I can't take it seriously." I thought about it and said, "I don't take it seriously, and you can't take it seriously either."
Xuanqing nodded vigorously, stroked my long hair, and said: "Of course I am not serious, how dare I." He smiled slightly, "Actually, I just entered the palace that day, and I was afraid that you would worry about me, so I really wanted to write
What can I give you? However, I have a thousand words and I don’t know what to write at the moment. I happened to meet Xu Wanyi..." Seeing my confusion, he explained: "She is a woman who was drafted into the palace four years ago, although she is not a stunning beauty.
, but she is quite untalented, but it’s a pity that the emperor doesn’t like her very much. I met her by chance at Taiye Pond that day, and I heard her compose a song called “Four Zhang Ji”, which was quite touching.”
"Four machines?"
"That's right," he chanted with his hands behind his back, "four machines. The mandarin ducks want to fly together. It's a pity that the old man turns gray first. The spring waves are green and the grass is deep, and in the depths of the dawn cold, each other is bathed in red clothes."
"Mandarin ducks want to fly together. It's a pity that the old man turns gray first." I murmured carefully and tasted it with my heart. Almost the moment Xuan Qing chanted it, I was moved by the deep sadness in this word. My heart felt like it was soaked in endless water.
In the autumn water, no matter how you look at it, you can't see through it, and you can't expect it to be normal.
I sincerely praised: "The writing is so good, the listener will feel sad beyond words. Such a talent is really amazing." I asked: "Is she not favored?"
Xuan Qing thought carefully and said: "That doesn't count, it's just an ordinary favor. Besides, Fu Jieyu is the only one who is good at favoring her this year. Even Chang Guifei and An Guifei were left out in the cold, not to mention Xu Wanyi."
Perhaps, she really loves Xuan Ling. Because of her love, she is so sad and self-pitying, which makes people unable to bear to appreciate her heart. However, how can she understand, just like I didn't understand at that time, where is the supreme king?
Is it something we, as concubines, can admire? After all, it’s just asking for sorrow.
I was curious for a moment, "What is the name of this Xu Wanyi?"
He was startled and laughed, "How do I know that?" He thought attentively and said: "I think I heard the emperor call her name once, it seemed... Yan Yi? I don't remember much. I only heard this
When the emperor's brother was ill, she knelt in the Tongming Hall day and night to pray for him, and he also collapsed."
Xu Yanyi? I seem to have heard of this name before.
I was thinking hard, and Xuanqing patted me on the shoulder and asked with concern: "What are you thinking about?"
I looked back and smiled, "I was thinking, when you came just now, I was about to play with you on the nine-card machine, but you interrupted me."
Xuan Qing smiled and said: "Then, it's He Yiyi right now. This won't trouble you."
There are two old and curved trees beside me. They have grown so long that they are tied together like two twins. My heart moved and I smiled and said: "Nine Zhang Ji. Sweet hearts and clever minds. The branches of the acacia tree are connected...
"
I lowered my head and thought endlessly. Xuanqing's eyes were wild and gentle as water, and she said softly: "Under the double-headed flower, where the two hearts are concentric, a pair of transformed children."
I looked up at him and couldn't help but hold his hand. His arm was warm and strong, as if it could withstand everything. My heart was filled with joy and peace, and I just felt that life was like this. It was good to have his affection and persistence.
This is already very good.
The top of the mountain was silent, as quiet as if all the sounds were sighing together. The warm wind blew past the blossoms of the trees beside them, and the flowers fell to the ground, making a soft "plop" and "plop" sound.
I raised my head and saw a bird fluttering its wings and flying freely. I suddenly laughed and said, "I have always heard that there are jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, but I have lived here for many years and have never seen one except civet cats."
Xuanqing pinched my nose and laughed so hard, "Silly girl. Lingyun Peak, Ganlu Peak, and Piaomiao Peak are all famous mountains. In the ancient temples, even the royal family and nobles come to burn incense and pay homage. How can there be jackals, tigers, and leopards?"
"
I was embarrassed and touched my nose, "I just wanted to take a look. It's inevitable to be a little bored when you stay in the house all the time."
Xuan Qing said: "If you want to watch the tiger and beast show, I know a female animal tamer in the palace. Next time I invite her to come to the Qingliang Terrace to perform for you."
I said deliberately: "Isn't the female animal tamer very old?"
He still didn't understand, so he said: "I'm only sixteen or seventeen years old."
I chuckled and said in a long voice: "Oh, no wonder. I was just thinking, if you are not a young girl, how can you know each other?"
Xuanqing pinched my nose hard and sneered: "I am quite jealous, but I am just jealous for no reason. How can I say good things to you?"
I laughed so much that I fell into his arms and said softly: "I know you don't know how to do it, so I'm joking with you like this. If you were really romantic, I wouldn't even care about you." He just smiled and hugged you tightly.
Live with me.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I accidentally looked back and saw Huanbi standing three feet behind me, looking up at the floating clouds in the sky, silently. I didn’t know when she came over or how long she had been here, but I just felt like being watched by her
I was very embarrassed to have gone away from the intimacy we just had.
However, Huanbi looked indifferent and only said: "Dinner is ready. Miss and the prince can go and have it together."
At that time, the twilight was like a wandering halo, with clusters of bright red and white autumn rhododendrons on the cliffs, scattered like clouds falling from the sky. A rhododendron was slanted on the edge of the bun held by the pine trees.
, the water-red petals reflected her delicate skin, which was particularly beautiful. Xuanqing occasionally noticed it and praised: "Although Huanbi likes to wear blue, a red azalea on her hairpin is particularly beautiful."
Huanbi blushed unconsciously, touched the delicate flowers in her hair, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
I hesitated to speak, but in the end I didn't say anything. The petals of the autumn azalea are too weak and timid, so they are not suitable for wearing hairpins. Besides, they are such unlucky flowers.
However, Huanbi's appearance seemed to be very fond of her, and she was also very impressed by Xuanqing's casual praise.
Xuan Qing took my hand and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go back together."
The cuckoos are singing in my ears, and the autumn day is like a new year, as if a day has never passed. In such a quiet and beautiful time, I almost forgot that the cuckoos are birds that weep at farewell.
Two days later, Huanbi brought a large number of books from nowhere. They were all ancient books of some age. They were very elegantly bound and had no trace of insects or mildew. They must have been owned by people from the scholarly generation.
books.
I wondered: "Why did you bring so many books? Where did they come from?"
She thought for a moment and then said: "My servant was brave and begged the prince privately. Today he specially sent A Jin to deliver it."
I smiled and said, "It's enough for me to have a few books to relieve my boredom. Qing Qing is very discerning. The few books he brought are concise and comprehensive, with endless aftertaste. Reading them in your leisure time is the best. Why do you ask him for so many books?"
?”
Huanbi just pursed her lips and said, "Miss, can you teach me how to read?"
I casually flipped through the books she brought. Most of them were "The Book of Songs", "Chu Song", Tang poetry and Song poetry, and even more biased "Four-Six Parallel Couples" and "Northern and Southern Romance". I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Bi was personally allowed by her father to accompany me to study in the study. Therefore, among the maids in the palace, she was the best at being able to read and write. But my mother said that she was a maid after all, and it was rare for her to become a top scholar in reading.
Huanbi had a quiet temperament and preferred female red needlework, so she gradually put off studying. Although she could read and write, she was still unable to recite poems and compose poems.
I was even more surprised, "Don't you always like to put more effort into poetry and books? Why are you so good at it and now you want to learn it again?"
Huanbi's face was slightly embarrassed, but it soon became normal. She smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be better for me to know more about poems and books? Miss has always loved these. If I know more about this, I can spend more time with you to relieve my boredom." She revealed her face.
With a narrow smile, she said, "The young lady is now accompanied by the prince, and she is like a couple of gods and immortals. Don't you need a slave to accompany you for this reason?"
I was speechless for a moment by what she said. I really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Suddenly I remembered what happened a few days ago.
Did you hear it from behind?"
Huanbi's face turned slightly red, just like the autumn rhododendron she wore on her temples, and said: "Since the young lady has guessed it, I can't hide it any more. The young lady and the prince know so much, and they can answer each other fluently all day long, but the servant doesn't understand anything."
, and when I heard that the poems written by Miss and Prince He were so good, I just felt like I was stuck there like a piece of wood, I was really ashamed and embarrassed."
I was slightly relieved and said with a smile: "If you are willing to learn more, that would be great. As long as you are willing, I will definitely be willing to teach you. But..." I felt a little sad: "There are many girls in the family.
After reading the poems, I will understand more, but I am afraid I will also feel more sad."
Huanbi looked out the window, her expression unusually calm, as calm as the waves in the water. She just smiled and said, "It's better than being ignorant."
She showed such a bit of sadness without concealment. I saw a beautiful cuckoo on her temples, and I was secretly a little shocked. After Xuanqing praised her beautiful cuckoo hairpin, she kept it in her hair every day.
, in addition to the ordinary hairpin, she didn’t even use pearls. She only wore an autumn rhododendron, whether it was red or pink, and she wore it all over.
It's not that I haven't been vaguely aware of some of her secret thoughts. However, Xuanqing will naturally not pay attention to her and will not taint her. Then, why don't I allow her to have such a small thought? Accompany her.
Looking at me, her life is already lonely and desolate.
Besides, how could I open my mouth to her? Her secret thoughts did not hinder my relationship with Qing. Out of compassion for myself and others, I ended up keeping silent.
Because of this silence, a faint melancholy expression appeared on the center of my eyebrows without even noticing it. Even though I knew that Xuanqing only respected Huanbi because of me. However, Huanbi's thoughts, I could no longer understand.
I pretended not to know, but in the end I understood.
But I don't intend to mention it to Xuanqing. If he is clear about it, he will definitely be embarrassed with me. If we are embarrassed, even Huanbi will feel uncomfortable. Since she has no intention of entrusting her affection to Xuanqing,
I can only ignore it.
It was so depressing, and time flew by. In the deep autumn, the red maples were in full bloom like the most beautiful brocade. But it was Ah Jin who came driving a carriage and said happily: "The prince said that we are staying in the house."
I'm bored, I'm here to pick up my wife to enjoy the autumn, please get in the car."
I said it carelessly last time, but he took it to heart. The sky and earth outside were filled with flowers, and even the air was sweet. I couldn't help but feel moved, so I changed my clothes and got in the car. Naturally, Huanbi followed and packed a bag of clothes.
He jumped into the car and said to Jin Xi: "I'm going to serve the young lady on a spring outing, so you can stay."
Jin Xi naturally had no objection and just looked at me deeply. I understood, but remained calm.
Huanbi and I covered our faces with white gauze and traveled to the world in autumn. We saw the wealth and prosperity in the capital, the bells ringing, and the food, as if we were reborn. Xuanqing wore a green robe and a small hat, dressed like a scholar.
No matter how careful I was, I went to Langyuan, a sparsely visited area outside Kyoto, and I smelled that there was very good Xiangfei Bamboo there.
Thousands of bamboo poles are planted, with green shadows and bamboo poles. There are dots of tears on the bamboo poles, some are purple, some are snow-white, some are as red as blood, and some are like tear stains.
"A mottled bamboo sheds a thousand tears." I sighed: "It's so touching when I see it."
Huanbi stretched out her hand to touch it and said, "It's really like tears."
Xuanqing smiled slightly and said: "Emperor E's daughter Ying shed tears for Shun's death. Concubine Xiang's deep affection is evident."
The green and green dress complemented the Xiang Fei bamboo, and the pair of emerald rings on her ears made her face fairer. She whispered: "Shun is so lucky. He has a pair of sisters, Emperor E and Nvying, by his side. Fortunately for them.
They are sisters who can live in such harmony and become a good story."
My heart skipped a beat, as if some secret nerve had been stirred, causing a slight pain.
Xuan Qing smiled indifferently and said: "The deep affection of Empress E and Nv Ying is really amazing. But Shun's blessing is not available to everyone. For us mortals, if we have a person who can stay with us until we grow old, it will be our wish."
That's enough." As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with affection, and he only looked at me deeply.
Huanbi dimmed slightly, then smiled with relief and said: "With these words from the young master, I can feel relieved for my eldest sister. I hope that the young master can protect my eldest sister throughout his life as he said."
I never expected Huanbi's words. However, this is the best result. Whether she is sincere or fake, I will always remember her words forever. She has such a deep heart, why should I
She also has to worry about the autumn rhododendron on her temples.
In this way, we relaxed and happily visited Lang Garden, and returned home happily while it was still early.
