I woke up and slept, mostly in a drowsy state.WWW.tsxsw.COM However, after three or five days of this, my spirit gradually improved. I heard from Huanbi that Xuanqing's illness was getting worse.
I had a high fever all day long.
When I asked Wen Shichu why Xuanqing became so ill, he was just vague and couldn't explain clearly. I didn't have the strength to tell him the difference, so I had to take care of myself first.
I took medicine this day and felt better, so I leaned on the bed and closed my eyes to rest. Huanbi sat next to me, picking herbs in front of the light. With no one around, I asked all the doubts I had been having for many days.
came out: "Why did the prince suddenly become so ill?"
The worry on the Huanbi face was like the hoarfrost covering the withered grass in the morning. It was also a sallow color. He frowned and said, "Master Wen just said that he didn't take a good rest after catching the wind and cold a few days ago. The young lady is ill."
After those days and nights, I didn't eat or sleep well, so as soon as my body relaxed, my illness became as fierce as a tiger. So I couldn't control it for a while."
I pondered for a moment and then asked: "Then how did the prince get the cold?"
Huanbi lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Master Wen already said that when he was there that day, the prince came to the Zen room to see the young lady and he wore less clothes. It happened to be cold that day..."
I smiled slightly, then suppressed my smile, and just stared at her and said: "That's Mr. Wen's statement. I want to listen to your truth." I said in a sweet voice: "Huanbi, Wen Shichu certainly has a reason to hide it from me. Then
What about you, do you want to hide it from me too?"
Huanbi twirled the corner of her clothes, bit her lip and looked at me, hesitatingly saying, "Miss, do you really want to know?"
The thin fragrant mist floats out from the incense burner with blue and white branches, and spreads lightly in the air, filling the air with a light scent of bergamot. This smell makes people feel clear and clear.
It was as if I was still in a trance, and there was a cold body hugging me. The body was as cold as ice and snow, allowing me to get a touch of coolness and comfort in the hot twilight. I calmed down and said: "
nature."
Huanbi's face was slightly rippled, and she seemed to be in a daze, and said slowly: "That day, the young lady had a high fever. She was so hot that she started talking nonsense. Jinxi and I brought some snow water and applied it.
No amount of cold towels were of any use. Even the cold water was of no use. Jin Xi hurriedly asked me to invite Mr. Wen, but at that time Mr. Wen was summoned to the palace to diagnose and treat Hu Deyi, so naturally he could not enter the palace to invite him.
, I had no choice but to come back. I was so anxious that I could only cry. It happened that the prince took Ah Jin back to Qingliangtai and saw me at the bottom of the mountain. We went to the meditation room together. Seeing the young lady like this, Ah Jin immediately rode to invite the lady from Qingliangtai.
The doctor came, but it happened to snow heavily and blocked the mountain road, so the doctor couldn't come. The young lady's face was red with fever, her breath was short, and we were almost scared to death." Huanbi paused for a moment.
Pausing, he added: "Actually, Miss's condition is a high fever. There is no doctor to diagnose and treat her, and there is no medicine to reduce the fever. So..." Her face turned red and she hesitated to speak.
She was so coy, but I knew it in my heart, and my face felt like it was on fire.
In my dizzy state, the person holding me with a cold body was Xuan Qing.
Huanbi pulled the silk in her hand and said, again and again, in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "The prince only wore close-fitting clothes and lay on the ice and snow. After his body was completely cold, he hugged the young lady again. He repeated this many times, making the young lady's body cold.
The high fever subsided. Later, the snow stopped, and the prince carried the young lady up to the cooling terrace. In addition, the young lady remained drowsy, so the prince almost took care of her with Mr. Wen. After such hard work, his body was made of iron.
Yeah, I can't bear it anymore." Huanbi saw me bowing my head in silence, blushing so much that I was bleeding, so she hurriedly defended: "Don't worry, miss, she was wearing clothes at that time."
I composed my thoughts, slowly sat up and said, "Huanbi, go get my coat and accompany me to see the prince."
Huanbi said anxiously: "Miss's body is not fully recovered yet. Could it be that she caught the wind and cold again when she went out? It can't be broken off."
I coughed twice, waved my hands and said, "If it doesn't work out, the prince has been very kind to me. Now that he is ill, I have to go and see him. You know my temper, so there is no need to persuade him."
Seeing that I insisted on going, Huanbi couldn't persuade me any more, so she had to find a big woolen dress and come out to put it on for me. She tied up my hair, hugged me and put it in my arms, and supported me all the way to the green fields.
Go to the hall.
The place where I live is not close to the road to Green Field Hall. I am weak and have to walk and rest for a long time. Green Field Hall has a very ancient feel. When Ah Jin saw me, he lowered his head and said, "Madam, come here."
Now, the prince is still asleep."
I nodded lightly and said softly: "I'll go in and take a look, and I'll come out later." Then I asked, "Has the concubine been here?"
Ah Jin shook his head: "Why did you come back? The concubine will never be able to leave Anqiguan in this life. The prince is still hiding the fact that he is not feeling well."
I nodded, "Let's keep it a secret for now so that the concubine will not be anxious."
The green field hall was sparse and bright, with only a few golden teak furniture on display, besides books, and various famous swords and weapons hung on the walls. I felt a little relieved in my heart, because there really was no trace of a woman at all.
He fell into a deep sleep, and his face looked haggard and fragmented as if he were ill. He was dressed in plain white pajamas, with a plain undulating willow leaf pattern on his collar. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and even in his sleep, he did not look happy.
The sunlight was as thin as gauze, a little pink in color, and white with mist. It shone on his face through the curtains, and there was a slight soft light. The light was as if there was a lamp burning in his body.
His big sandalwood bed was dark and dark, making people feel more and more like a dream dressed in white.
I approached him gently. I had some vague memories during my illness, as if a drop of his tears fell on my face a long time ago, and that warm touch; again this time, his cold body lying in the ice and snow
, come and cool my burning sick body. The memories of cold and heat are entangled in my heart and melt away. Because of his existence, the first flower blooms in the heart that has been deserted for a long time.
I sat down in front of his bed, gently stretched out my hand, pressed his curled eyebrows, and gently stretched them. I always wanted to see his smile, sincere and cunning, which warmed my cold and desolate mind.
.
I turned away, and there was a pot of asparagus on the long table under the window. Its leaves were like layers of green feathers and green clouds, slender and beautiful. I thought it was probably a ruthless plant that could be so green all year round and never wither or wither.
.
And humans are not vegetation.
I just sat quietly, watching his sleeping face silently, with infinite peace in my heart. I just felt that it was good to be so quiet, so quiet.
When he woke up, it was already an hour later.
The moment his eyes opened, surprise burst out like a burning cloud, illuminating his entire face that was darkened by illness. He struggled to get up and said, "You're here, are you okay?"
I smiled and said, "I can get up to see you now. Have you agreed?"
He shook my hand and said, "It's still so cold." Then he asked, "How long have you been here?"
I retracted my hand, "It's only for an hour. I see you're sleeping so well, so I don't want to wake you up." I asked him, "Qing, do you want to drink some water?"
He could hardly believe it. He was stunned for a moment and murmured: "What did you call me?"
I stood up slowly, made a cup of white chrysanthemum tea and handed it to him, with a slight smile on my lips: "Qing, can I call you this?"
"Yes, of course!" He sat up suddenly, a smile spread across his handsome and handsome face, and held my hand tightly, "Huan'er, I never dreamed of it."
This time, I did not retract my hand. I only said softly: "Things in this world are often unexpected." I put the tea to his mouth and said, "Rinse your throat first."
He took a sip of water and didn't rush to drink it. He just kept it in his mouth and looked at me quietly with infinite affection in his eyes.
His low tone was like gentle and bright light, "You are wearing white clothes today."
I lowered my head and saw that I was wearing a moon-white brocade long dress with delicate pear blossoms embroidered with light silver-white thread. I was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I have never worn such clothes since I entered Ganlu Temple.
." I said in a low voice: "Aunt Mo gave this to me. I just took it and put it on. I didn't know that you were also wearing white."
His thick palm was pressed against the back of my hand, and even the touch of the palm prints was warm and winding. He said, "I always believe that there is a connection between hearts."
There was a biting cold wind outside the window, roaring like a dragon with a heavy chill. The room was as warm as spring, and I looked at him with a smile, and my heart was filled with peace and joy.
After a long time, I was about to ask someone to come in and help him wash up, but I heard commotion outside. Ah Jin hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and your concubine, Hu Deyi is here."
Xuan Ling! I suddenly heard this name, and my heart was shocked. It seemed like countless thunder and lightning flashed in the sky together with a crash. Xuan Qing also changed his color slightly and said, "Why is the emperor here?"
Ah Jin winked at me hard, and I stood up in confusion and said, "I'll go out and avoid it."
Ah Jin said anxiously: "They are coming in outside, and they are going to run into them when they go out!"
Xuan Qing immediately calmed down and said, "There is a screen behind my couch. Let's take shelter behind the screen first."
Without saying anything, I immediately hid behind the screen. Just as I stood firm, I could faintly hear the sound of pearls pattering, the faint fragrance of rouge, and a loud male voice said: "Sixth brother, no one has come to deal with my illness."
Let’s talk about poetry and painting.”
That voice is still familiar. Hearing it so suddenly and unpreparedly almost froze my body. It was so cold, as if it was the last time I met him in Tangli Palace. That kind of coldness and determination like a knife edge, in my heart.
It captured all my consciousness in an instant. I held on to the screen tightly, feeling sore and had a headache.
But it was Ah Jin who supported Xuan Qing and saluted: "Long live your Majesty, Jin An."
Xuan Ling held him down and said with a smile: "Since you are sick, why should you follow the etiquette?"
Concubine Jing's voice was familiar. After greeting Xuan Qing, it was a very delicate and sweet female voice, "My lord, please be well."
Xuan Qing coughed twice and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is in a good mood today. Even Hu Deyi came out with him. But why did he think of coming to my brother's place?"
Xuan Ling said: "It's rare that the snow has melted, and the weather is good today. It's boring for them to be bored in the palace all day. I heard that you were sick, so I came out to see you." He looked at Xuan Qing carefully, "There are still people there.
Although he looks sick, he is still in good spirits and is as rosy as a person who feels refreshed during a happy event." Then he turned to Hu Deyi and said, "Yunrong, you are so restrained now. You used to call me 'Sixth Cousin' when I saw you, but now you are down."
No more words were spoken."
Hu Deyi covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Your Majesty is making fun of me for being ignorant. Now that I am the Emperor's concubine, I naturally put this first. When meeting the Sixth Prince, I must abide by the etiquette of a monarch and a minister. How can I just call him "Biao" first?
Where's my brother?"
Concubine Jing smiled and said: "Sister Hu is so sensible, and the emperor still said that she is restrained. It is really unfair to my sister."
Suddenly a little childish voice said softly and sweetly: "I heard that the Sixth Emperor's Uncle was ill, and Longyue came here to pay his respects."
The soft voice hit my ears, and my body suddenly shook. All my heart and soul were attracted by that small voice, and I couldn't help but look outside. The screen was made of four primrose wood carvings, and it was surrounded by
It is five inches wide and carved and hollowed out.
I carefully covered the corner of my clothes and looked around. Wherever I looked, I saw a child of about two years old. He was held in the arms of the concubine, and he had two round temples, each decorated with two pearls.
Wearing a pink water brocade cotton flower jacket, she has a small face with sweet white melon seeds and a pair of big black eyes, as black and bright as two black mercury balls.
I just glanced at it, and it was as if all the blood in my body rushed to my heart. Even though I had never seen the portrait of Hazy Moon, I knew she must be my daughter at this glance. Her facial features, eyes, mouth, and nose were all perfect.
Like me, only the outline of his jaw is very similar to Xuan Ling's.
I only heard my own heart, thumping, thumping, thumping, beating faster than the last, and my heart almost jumped out of its cavity. Haoyue, this is Haoyue that I have been thinking about day and night. My heart felt hot,
Almost cried.
Haoyue, I really want to hug my Haoyue. She is so cute.
However, I couldn't go out, how could I go out? I pressed against the screen, trying my best to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of my eyes.
Over there, Xuanqing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Longyue is here, do you want my uncle to give me a hug?" I knew what Xuanqing meant. From his position, I could best see Longyue.
Longyue said with a smile: "The emperor's uncle is sick. It's not good for Longyue to disturb the emperor." As she said this, Tianyue rubbed her left and right in Jingfei's arms without a moment's peace.
Xuan Ling laughed and said: "This girl is so clever. She knows you are sick and refuses to be hugged by you. She also finds a way to pretend to be sensible and says she is afraid of disturbing you. This cleverness is exactly the same as that of her mother-in-law.
"
As soon as Xuan Ling finished speaking, everyone was quiet for a moment. The person Xuan Ling was referring to was naturally not Concubine Jing. However, Hu Deyi smiled sweetly and said: "Yes. Speaking of which, even though Sister Jing Fei is usually silent, but
There is nothing to say about being clever and intelligent, otherwise how can you say that you are as wise as you are foolish. Only the emperor knows that my sister is so smart and generous, so he loves me and Emperor Longyue so much."
Hu Deyi's soft words relieved the embarrassment. Xuan Ling held up her hands and smiled and said: "It's Yunrong who can speak after all." He squeezed her shoulders.
Hu Deyi became more affectionate and said: "Yes. Yunrong is the emperor's concubine and the emperor's cousin. She is closer to her than others, so she naturally understands the emperor better."
Concubine Jing smiled lightly and said: "Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for the emperor to dote on sister Hu so much. I heard that he will give sister Ronghua the position after the new year."
Hu Deyi smiled and said: "Sister Jingfei is joking. Sister Jingfei has the Emperor Princess Longyue. Naturally, mothers are more noble than daughters, and the emperor loves her very much."
Concubine Jing smiled and said: "My sister is He Di Ji. Di Ji is very cute at a young age. She really looks like my sister. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
While Concubine Jing was chatting and joking with Hu Deyi, my eyes fell on Hu Deyi, the so-called new favorite of Xuan Ling. She was of noble birth in the palace and was surpassed only by the queen. I saw her face with an oval pink face, and her big rectangular eyes that were full of attention.
, with pink face and red lips, and a very petite figure. Her upper body is a rose purple satin and water-red brocade jacket, which is embroidered with dense patterns. The skirt is inlaid with real pearls and emerald collars, and she wears a gold-rimmed pipa-breasted outer jacket, tied with a pink clouds brocade ribbon and lotus root.
In the silk satin skirt, the whole person is like a gorgeous peach smiling in the spring breeze, very delicate and charming. On the spring bun, a golden eight-treasure hairpin shines dazzlingly, and is also embellished with countless pearls and jade, creating a ball of jewels. The whole body is luxurious and elegant,
Shengsheng compares herself to the concubine beside her who is wearing a sapphire blue brocade dress embroidered with plum blossoms and plum blossoms.
However, Hu Deyi, who is so wealthy and beautiful, also has her shortcomings. Concubine Jing must be aware of them, so she can smile so calmly.
Xuan Ling was asking about the cause of Xuan Qing's illness and how the treatment was going. Xuan Qing only answered politely.
Come on, there is no one who can even talk to me about poetry and poetry. If she were still here back then..." Xuan Ling's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stopped talking and did not say any more.
I really wanted to take a look at his expression at this moment, but Xuan Qing's body was blocking it, and I could only see the corners of his bright yellow clothes. With such bright yellow, I just took one look, and already felt cold and dazzling, and soon
Lower your head.
Xuan Qing said: "When Emperor Chunyuan's sister-in-law came to the palace, it was common for the emperor's brother and his sister-in-law to talk about poetry and poetry together, and sing songs together. At that time, my brother was only five or six years old, and he had just learned about people, so he was always very envious in his heart.
"
Xuan Ling was silently lost in thought for a moment and said with emotion: "Later on, only Mrs. Zhen was able to say a few words to me. It's a pity that she was too unteachable."
At that time, Longyue was playing with a hydrangea. When she heard this, she asked curiously: "Mother, who is the Zhen family?"
Concubine Jing was in a dilemma and couldn't say anything for a moment, so she only looked at Xuan Ling. Xuan Ling hugged Long Yue, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "A person you don't know. Don't ask, ask your mother to hug her."
Bar."
My heart suddenly choked up. Longyue, she never knew that a mother like me existed. She had so many mothers and concubines, and her father had so many concubines, but he deliberately hid it from her and did not let her
Know that I exist.
My biological daughter, when she asked about me, I was just a stranger. Even if I passed by her one day, I would still be just a stranger. For the rest of my life, we could only be strangers.
Hu Deyi said jovially: "It turns out that the emperor has always disliked us for being stupid and unable to speak. Sister Jingfei has a good spirit, but I am going to be angry."
Xuan Ling scratched her nose and said with a smile: "You are stingy and love to act coquettishly." Then he said to Xuan Qing: "This is my first time coming to your cooling table. I have always heard that it is very good. Now I see that it is indeed exquisite.
.It would be better to build it on the top of the mountain, where you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and the infinite scenery."
Xuan Qing smiled and said: "Brother, if you like it, just come and sit here often."
Xuan Ling sighed: "How can such good fortune come out so often? It's so difficult to go out of the palace, and the eyes of many officials are staring at it." Then he laughed and said: "Your cooling table is good, but it is still missing.
A mistress. Last time, I and the Queen Mother both liked the young lady from Peiguo’s family, but you refused in every possible way, so I had to give up. It’s just that you are not young, and it’s time for you to become a concubine.”
Xuan Qing smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about it. If there is someone you like, I will definitely regard her as the mistress of Qingliangtai and love her for the rest of my life."
Xuan Ling said: "It's okay if you have your own idea. You have to be cautious about life-long matters. The most anxious time has passed, so just be more discerning and make a good choice." He half-joked, "If you like it,
The next show girls will also select a few good ones for you to keep."
Xuan Qing just smiled faintly: "Brother Huang, you are joking."
Xuan Ling yawned and said, "It's getting late, and I have a memorial to read when I get back. Sixth brother, please take good care of yourself."
Xuan Qing hurriedly struggled to get up, but Xuan Ling held him down and said with a smile: "No need, it's important that you recover from your illness." So he took Concubine Jing and Hu Deyi with him, and the group meandered away.
After a while, I heard that they were far away.
Xuanqing came over to hold my hand and said softly: "He has left."
I whispered "Hmm", and finally couldn't hold back the tears for a long time, and rolled down my eyes. He gently patted my back and comforted me in a low voice: "Even if the emperor refuses to admit it, you are still confused after all."
Yue’s mother, no one can change this.”
The weakness and sadness in my heart are entangled and entangled, like silk threads, twisting around my heart, so tight that I can hardly breathe.
After a moment, I raised my head, broke away from his arms, slowly shook my head and said, "It's okay if Haoyue doesn't know, a mother like me will be a shame to her."
Xuan Qing frowned and said: "Nonsense! It is her greatest pride to have a mother like you who always thinks about her."
I sighed: "It doesn't matter if you know it or not, as long as she lives well, I can feel a little at ease."
I wiped away my tears and called him again, "Your Majesty..."
He was stunned, "Huan'er, why don't you call me by my name?"
I lowered my head, looked at the pot of gleaming green asparagus, and said calmly: "I just called the prince by his name. It was indeed a disgrace. I made mistakes occasionally, so please forgive me. Please do as before."
Call me the same."
I deliberately re-clarified the difference between me and him. In fact, the difference between me and him is more than just an abyss.
My life has finally escaped the life of the palace, so how can I get involved with him from the palace again? I can't help it, and I can't let it happen again.
Xuan Qing's astonishment and shock did not subside, and he became even more deeply puzzled, asking: "Is it because of the emperor brother?"
I shook my head, holding the small hand stove in my arms, absorbing some warmth to support my strength, "The emperor's unexpected arrival just made me sober. I was confused for a moment, and that's why I offended the prince regardless of his dignity."
He frowned and smiled bitterly: "He has never been to the Qingliangtai, and I didn't expect him to come so suddenly. But he came here unexpectedly, but for me and you..."
"Things in the world are often unexpected." I slowly lowered my head, carefully hiding the tears in the corners of my eyes, and there was no warmth in my voice.
He still smiled, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "It wasn't like this when you said this just now."
This sentence is what I just said, with warm warmth and expectation. What came alive with my body was my heart that had been dusty for a long time. However, Xuan Ling's sudden arrival made me aware of this season.
It was freezing cold. At this moment, I was in a completely different state of mind.
My fingers clenched the snow-like dress, as if I was holding a handful of cold snow in my hands, "Since the prince believes in telepathy, he must understand my thoughts at this moment. Why do I need to say more words."
My indifference once again built a strong wall for me to resist his care and tenderness.
I would rather live in such indifference.
Xuan Ling, he always pours cold water on me to wake up my sweet dreams, making me feel chilled to the bone.
Xuan Qing's mouth was full of bitterness, "I almost hate Brother Huang, if he doesn't come..."
My tone was deathly desolate, as cold as the mountain wind whistling at this time of year. No matter how bright the sun shines, it always fails to warm it. I interrupted him, "Whether he comes or not, some dreams have to be awakened eventually."
." When I saw him standing barefoot on the ground, I felt distressed and said, "Your Majesty is not well yet, so you should have a good rest. Mo Chou will leave first."
I straightened my clothes and left reservedly. Xuanqing's voice was filled with deep melancholy and determination, "I know that just for a moment, the wind in your heart was blowing towards me. Even for that short moment, I was very happy.
.I will wait for you, waiting for the wind in your heart to blow to me again. As long as you are willing, I will always walk beside you, and you can see me as long as you turn your head."
I stopped, my heart softened, and I almost shed tears, but then I said, "Does Your Majesty care about my cousin Hu Deyi?"
He was surprised: "What?"
I said quietly: "If the prince cares, please remind Hu Deyi not to show that she knows the emperor well when talking to anyone in the palace. At least, the emperor will be very disgusted, which is very detrimental to her status in the palace."
Xuan Qing was stunned for a moment and then said: "I will try to remind her."
I said calmly: "With Hu Deyi's temperament, he may not be able to listen to the prince's advice. The prince just does his best." After that, he turned around and left.
Xuanqing called Huanbi in and said: "Your current residence is really inconvenient. I have ordered people to clean the Xiaoxian Mansion for you to live in. If you... Madam, if you are free, go and see if you like it."
I leaned forward and said, "I'm really sorry that Your Majesty bothered me so much when he was ill. In fact, I don't have to live anywhere."
His face was as white as his pajamas, and he said, "Go and see if you like it."
How should I resist his grand affection? I was speechless, I just bowed my head deeply and walked out slowly.
The sun was shining brightly outside the hall, and such good sunshine in winter is really rare. The moment the sun shone on me, I almost felt like I was in another world, as if everything just now was a dream. Huanbi held her steady
I went back, heated up the medicine and gave it to me to drink. When the bitterness of the herbs hit the tip of my tongue, I felt like I was back to reality. Huanbi said softly: "The emperor has just arrived."
"Um."
Huanbi asked cautiously: "Has the lady seen him?"
The bitterness of the concoction lingered on the tip of the tongue, lingering, "I didn't see it."
Huanbi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "That's good. I just saw the emperor entering the Green Field Hall. I was really sweating. Fortunately, I didn't see him." After Huanbi finished speaking, he took a candied plum.
He put it in my mouth and said, "The medicine is too bitter. Miss, please eat a prune to remove the bitter taste."
I held the plum in my mouth, remained silent for a moment, and said vaguely: "If you don't see it intentionally, you will never see it."
Huanbi wanted to say more, "Then the concubine I'm holding is our Longyue Emperor Ji..."
I leaned down tiredly and fell asleep, "Huanbi, I'm tired." I just wanted to have a good sleep, so deep that I wouldn't feel anything.
Xuan Ling, am I so unable to escape my life with him?
Huanbi didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she covered me with a quilt and quietly left.
