The weather was getting warmer, and because I had always been peaceful, I gradually reduced the frequency and amount of medicine I took, and my body became more relaxed. www. Liu Zhu said to me privately: "Miss often takes that medicine and lies in the room.
My face looks a lot paler, and I think I should take a walk in the sun to look better."
In spring, Shanglin Garden has the best scenery. The pear blossoms and crabapples in Tangli Palace only have leaves and no flower buds. Many flowers in Shanglin Garden have already bloomed. The famous flowers are fragrant in the wind, and the beautiful trees are beautiful.
It is prosperous, coupled with the clear water of Feiquan, it is strange and beautiful, just like in the painting, which is quite lovable. The palace likes to plant magnolia, crabapple, peony, osmanthus, green bamboo, plantain, plum blossom and orchid eight grades, the homophonic name is
: The Yutang is rich and honorable, and the bamboo is a sign of peace. It is called "Shanglin Bafang", which shows the palace's auspiciousness. Tangli Palace is located in the southwest corner of Shanglin Garden. It is a place where few people walk around, and few people come to the surrounding area. So I only stayed in Tangli Palace.
When I walked around the pear, no one came to disturb me.
Not far from Tangli Palace is Taiye Pond. Taiye Pond is a vast expanse of blue waves with shimmering light. From a distance, the water and sky are all the same blue and green, reflecting light. There are several islands scattered in the pool.
Shangguang has built majestic and beautiful pavilions and pavilions, as well as exotic flowers and plants, giving it a unique flavor. In March and April, the scenery of Taiye Lake is just right, with weeping poplars and green willows along the bank, and the branches and leaves spread out with a bit of fresh goose yellow and emerald green.
, like the black eyebrows carefully painted by the palace maids, thousands of green jade silk ribbons fluttered in the wind like a dancing girl's Yao skirt. Even Huanbi laughed when she saw it: "The green jade makeup is as tall as a tree, with thousands of green jade silk ribbons fluttering in the wind like a dancing girl's Yao skirt."
The green silk ribbon hangs down. It turns out to be such a beautiful scenery. There are so many willow trees, and it is really the atmosphere that only exists in the palace." The new willow flowers, and the cool breeze blowing by the pool are all dyed with the lush green water vapor and floral fragrance, which makes people feel
My mind is rippling, as if I was in the morning dew and morning light.
I stayed a few times and liked it very much. When I returned, I asked Xiao Yunzi, the little Lianzi, to build a swing on the tree. Xiao Yunzi was smart and specially attracted wisteria and Du Ruo to twine around the swing, which bloomed with tiny purple fragrant flowers.
The branches and leaves are soft, and the fragrance should be far away. When the wind blows, the fragrance will be thin, as if in the clouds.
The weather was excellent that afternoon. The sky was as clear as a pool of still water, and the sun was as bright as gold. Light and white catkins were flying all over the sky, blowing and falling with the wind. I sat alone on the swing, stepping lightly one foot at a time.
Kick the fallen flowers that have fallen on the soft grass. Liu Zhu gently pushes the swing frame and tells me jokes. The warm breeze blows slightly, like a hand slowly stirring the side of the body.
The dense apricot blossoms on that tree, with petals as thin as silk, fell on me bit by bit, as gently as my mother’s fingers caressing my cheek when I was a child.
I couldn't help but look up at the flowers. They were so crowded together that they turned pink for a long time. Only a star of blue sky could be seen among the dense clusters. "In the sparse shadow of the apricot blossoms, I played the flute until dawn."
, the predecessors seemed to have written like this. I suddenly became interested, turned around and told Liu Zhu: "Go and get my flute." Liu Zhu responded and left. I swung on the swing alone for a while, and suddenly I didn't know when I was behind me.
There was a shadow. I was startled. I jumped off the swing and turned around to look. I saw a young man standing behind me. He was wearing sea-green casual clothes, a red gold hairpin crown on his head, and a long body.
, Feng Shen is bright, and his face is extremely handsome. He only looked at me with bright eyes, but he couldn't tell who he was.
I couldn't help but blush on my face, and I knelt down for a blessing. I didn't know what to call it, so I had to keep the posture of saluting. After a long silence, my face was as hot as fire, and my knees were slightly sore, so I had to ask in embarrassment: "
I don’t know what to call you, your honorable master?”
The man didn't say anything. I didn't dare to raise my head and asked again in a low voice. He seemed to have just woken up from a dream, softly said "oh" and said softly: "Please get up."
I raised my eyes slightly to pay attention to the color of his clothes. He seemed to notice it and said, "I am...King Qinghe."
Now that I knew it was Xuanling, King of Qinghe, I felt even more embarrassed. It seemed inappropriate for the concubine to meet the prince alone. So I took two steps back, bowed slightly and said, "The noble lady Zhen from the palace behind me has met the prince."
He thought for a moment and said, "Are you the noble man who is sick?"
I immediately realized something was wrong, and doubts arose in my mind, so I asked, "How does the prince know about the trivial matters in the inner palace?"
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "I heard the emperor's sister-in-law mentioned that on New Year's Eve, the emperor asked me, and I happened to be around." I felt relieved.
He asked pleasantly: "Are you feeling better? The spring cold is still here, why don't you wear more clothes?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trouble. I'm much better now." Just as he was about to say goodbye, Liu Zhu came over with a flute in hand. He was surprised to see a strange man beside him. I quickly said, "I haven't seen King Qinghe yet." Liu Zhu came over.
Zhu hurriedly knelt down to meet Li.
He caught a glimpse of the green flute and asked with a smile: "Can you play the flute?"
I nodded slightly, "I'm bored in the boudoir, just for fun."
"Can I play a piece of music to listen to it?" He felt a little abrupt and said, "I really love playing the flute."
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not good at playing the flute. I'm afraid it will be humiliating to Qing Ting."
He raised his eyes to the sky and said with a smile: "With such a beautiful spring scenery, if it is accompanied by the sound of flute, it will not be considered as a failure to live up to this garden full of green willows and red flowers. Please don't refuse me."
I couldn't resist, so I had to step back a foot away, thought for a while, and carefully played "Apricot Blossom Sky Shadow" 1 in response to the scenery in front of me, "Where is the jade flute and the sky is like water, and the Qionghua is as white as ice all night
”.
The green silk is blowing low at Yuanyang Pu, thinking of the peach leaves, calling for the ferry at that time. I will leave my sad eyes and the spring breeze to go; I will be less likely to lean against the railing.
On Jinling Road, orioles sing and swallows dance. Counting the tide, I know that people are suffering the most. The grass in the pond is full of grass and I can't return. At dusk, I have to move my boat to where?
When I was a child, my aunt who lived in the south of the Yangtze River taught me to play this song with a xun. It was very light and lofty. Now I play it with a flute, which alleviates the melancholy in the song. It is quite like the flowing snow returning to the wind, and it is beautiful and graceful. At the end of the song,
King Qinghe remained silent, just lost in thought.
I was silent for a moment and softly called: "Your Majesty." Then he turned around. I whispered: "I have shamed myself, please don't blame me."
He looked at me and said: "You played very well, but when you played the line 'The grass in the tingle will never return', the sound of the flute was slightly stagnant, not smooth, and had a whimpering feeling. But do you miss home?"
I felt slightly embarrassed when he revealed what was on my mind, and said with a red face: "I once heard someone say, 'If there is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang will take care of it.' I didn't expect the prince to have such a good ear."
He was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "I haven't heard such a good flute sound for a long time. Since... Queen Chunyuan passed away, no one's flute sound can impress... my king's ears." He
Although it was not far from me, the voice was as faint as coming from the sky, and it was very emotional.
I took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. But how dare I compare myself to Queen Chunyuan." I bowed and said, "It's getting late, so I'm going back to the palace first. Your Majesty, please excuse me."
He nodded and walked away.
Liu Zhu supported me all the way back to the palace through flowers and willows, and then sat down in Yingxin Hall. I immediately called Jingqing: "Go and find out, has King Qinghe entered the palace today? Where is he now?" Jingqing
I agreed and went out.
Liu Zhu asked suspiciously: "Miss, you think the one who is playing the flute with you today is not King Qinghe?"
I said: "It's good to be more careful."
Jingqing went away for half a day and came back to report: "I entered the palace today, and now I am appraising paintings with the emperor in the Yiyuan Hall." I nodded secretly and went to have my meal with confidence.
A day later, I still went to spend time on the swing. The air in the spring morning was very fresh, with the moisture of the lake, the freshness of the soft willows on both sides and the fragrance of the first blooming flowers, which made people feel energetic. The swing
The wisteria and rhododendrons on the rope were still stained with crystal dew that had not been washed away by the sun. When the swing swung gently, it fell coolly on the face and shoulders, like bursts of light raindrops. There was a morning warbler perched on the tree.
The dripping chirps are very cheerful. If you want to enjoy the morning light, this is the best time.
Suddenly I felt someone reach out and push my swing hard, and the swing of the swing immediately increased. I was startled and hurriedly clenched the swing rope with both hands. The swing flew forward high, and the wind blew hard across my cheeks.
My skirt fluttered in the wind like a huge butterfly. I laughed loudly: "Liu Zhu, you narrow-minded girl, you are causing trouble behind my back!" I giggled: "Push it higher! Liu Zhu
, a little higher!" As soon as I finished speaking, the swing swung backwards quickly, passing a person's figure quickly. The farther back I saw, the clearer I could see. I screamed: "Your Majesty!" Who else could it be if he wasn't King Qinghe?
, such a loss of etiquette made me feel very frightened. As soon as I loosened my grip, I was about to fall off the swing.
King Qinghe raised his arms, looked at me with a smile and said, "If you are afraid, come down."
I felt ashamed and annoyed in my heart, and I was even more dissatisfied. I tightened my grip on the rope and said loudly: "Your Majesty, just push the swing, I'm not afraid!"
With a smile on his face, he approached the swing and pushed it forward harder. I could hear the wind whistling in my ears, causing my hair on my temples to sway back and forth. The more scared I became, the more I tried to open my eyes.
I kept my eyes open and refused to close them. My eyes were as round as apricots. The swing flew straight to the old apricot tree with lush flowers. I was so naughty that I stretched out my feet to kick the warm clouds that bloomed like icy ribbons.
As soon as I stretched out my feet, the apricot blossoms began to rustle down like a violent storm. The orioles on the tree were so startled that they flew into the air with a "tick" sound, stirring up the bright sunshine that filled the sky.
The petals were falling like rain, and one flew over and hit my eyes. When I felt the pain, I couldn't help but reach out to rub it. When my hands loosened, an unstable figure fell straight down from the swing. I was horrified.
, so scared that he closed his eyes tightly and secretly said, "My life is at stake!"
It didn't hurt much when I landed, but I didn't dare to open my eyes. I felt cool and hot on my forehead, but whose breath was blowing lightly, like the morning breeze that turns cold but warm in this season. It was quiet and there were fallen flowers.
soft and soft on the lapel. I secretly opened my eyes, and saw a pair of dark pupils, as warm as ink jade, with a gentle smile. I didn't turn my head, because only at that moment, I was in that pair of eyes.
I found my own face in my pupils. For the first time, I saw myself in the eyes of others. I couldn't move my eyes away, only looking at myself in the eyes of others. My eyes moved slightly, and I caught a glimpse of the face of King Qinghe, whose eyes were like a spring breeze.
Tong stared at me with a smile, and then realized that I had fallen into his arms. She panicked and hurriedly jumped down to the ground. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and burrow down. She said in a voice like a mosquito, "I've seen the prince."
He chuckled: "Why are you so embarrassed now? Weren't you not afraid just now? You are still like a hero among women."
I bowed my head deeply and said in a low voice: "I have lost my dignity. I didn't know that the prince likes to stand quietly behind people."
He said loudly: "It's my fault." He stretched out his hand to help me: "I came here accidentally. When I walked nearby, I recalled the sound of the nobleman's flute that day, so I asked someone to fetch the flute again, hoping to meet him.
Your Excellency, please let me listen to you again." He handed me a Lantian jade flute. It was completely white, and faintly visible light purple dark lines could be seen on the flute tube. The tail of the flute was decorated with a deep red gold thread.
Ruyi knot, what a pipe of jade flute!
I took it and said, "I wonder what the prince wants to hear?"
"You can choose the music you like."
I calmed down and picked up a set of "Liu Chuxin" 2 to play:
In the eastern suburbs, I look up to Xiaoxing. In Baodi, spring has arrived. The willows are raising their smoke eyes, and the flowers are showing their faces, gradually becoming more and more green and red. Decorating the terraces and pavilions, using magic skills, the paintings are priceless.
Don't wait for the test of Yao's order. The bridegroom's journey is picturesque. The breeze in the apricot garden is gentle, the peach blossoms are warm, and the feathers of the competition are moving and their scales are turning. All over the nine streets, the generals are wandering around. There is a sudden fragrance of dust, and the horses are proud of their precious saddles.
"Liu Chuxin" was originally a song that praised the beauty of the spring garden and the peace of the prosperous age. It had a very lively melody. He was really happy after listening to it. He said with a smile on his lips: "The wind is gentle in the apricot garden? It's apricot again. You like apricot flowers very much."
What?"
I looked up at the tree and said, "The apricot blossoms are crystal clear when they are in full bloom, and slightly red when they are in bud. They are not as gorgeous as peach blossoms, nor are they as cold as winter plums. They are as gentle and gentle as a shy girl, and are very gentle." His.
His eyes lingered on me: "People are like flowers, and flowers are like people. Only people with gentle character will like flowers with gentle character."
I pondered for a moment: "But I don't dare to like Xinghua."
"Oh?" He raised his eyelids and asked with interest, "Tell me about it."
"Although apricot flowers are beautiful, the apricots they produce are extremely sour, and the almonds are even more bitter. What's the point of doing things for people if they all start well but end badly? It's not as good as pines and cypresses, which are green all year round and have no flowers or fruits.
.”
He raised his eyebrows, "I've never heard of such an idea before. It's so fresh and unique."
He said with a smile: "I talked nonsense and made the prince laugh. I hope that after listening to this song, the prince will not scare me again."
He clapped his hands and laughed: "I was the one who was abrupt today. I have two music scores. I will bring them to you tomorrow afternoon to appreciate them together. I hope you will come."
His smile was so beautiful, like the dazzling golden light that cut through the flowing clouds and thick fog and hovered over the spring scenery of the garden, I couldn't refuse. I was stunned for a moment and said softly: "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful."
After taking two steps away, he remembered something, turned around and said, "I have something to ask of you, please grant me your permission."
"you say."
"It is inappropriate for me to meet with the prince. I also ask the prince not to let anyone know about it, so as not to damage our reputation."
"Oh, if you have a good reputation, who can harm it?"
I shook my head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. I am aboveboard with you. Although I say, 'No matter what you say, you should tell others,' but there are many people in the harem talking about each other, and everyone's talk is worth the money. In the end, it will only cause trouble."
He frowned slightly, but agreed readily.
