Chapter 8 8. Destroy the world
Penglai Hall of Daming Palace.
The palace pavilion is on the three-story palace foundation, where the queen lives.
Huang Zixia followed the palace servants who led the way, together with Wang Ruo, Suqi and several maids of the Wang family, went up the white jade steps and entered the gate of the Nine Palaces.
Facing it is a huge 12-fan floor-to-ceiling screen of agarwood, on which are carved 12 flower gods, facing the Queen Mother in the clouds of fairy flowers, facing the Kunlun Mountains.She followed Wang Ruo to stop in front of the screen, stood with her head bowed, and there was no sound around her.
She stood there thinking about what Wang Ruomeng had said in her previous talk.Feng Niang, it seems that it must be Feng Yiniang, but what does the blood in her mouth mean?
Just as she was thinking, a piece of scarlet silk brocade clothes in front of her eyes dragged across the thick Persian carpet on the ground, and the people around her were already saluting one after another, not even daring to lift their heads.
She knew that it must be the queen who came, so she also bowed and looked down at the Yunxia pattern on the queen's clothes.
Surrounded by the maids, Queen Wang walked behind the screen, sat on the colored glass and seven treasures agarwood couch, and held a secret-colored porcelain teacup to ponder for a long time before speaking.Her voice was as clear as a flowing spring, slowly and calmly: "Ah Ruo, you don't seem to be in a good mood. There are only seven days until the wedding, why don't you have the joy of being out of the court soon?"
Wang Ruo sat sideways on the couch with her, and said in a low voice: "Because of some trivial matters, I have been worrying too much recently, and I have troubled the queen to ask."
Queen Wang looked at her for a long time, only holding her hand, but did not speak.Huang Zixia quietly raised her head, glanced at Queen Wang's face, and saw that although her face still had the usual indifference and alienation of the superiors, there was a kind of homely tenderness in her eyes.
This pair of cousins did not look alike, and there was a difference in age of more than ten years, but their relationship seemed to be really good.
"The capital is so big, there are so many idlers, and there are so many different things, why do you bother to think too much?" Queen Wang lightly held Wang Ruo's right hand, and folded it in her own palms, as gentle as a baby bird.Huang Zixia watched, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. She was slightly startled when she heard the Queen ask, "Who is the person sent by the Prince Kui's Palace to accompany the Princess?"
Suqi and Huang Zixia hurriedly said, "It's the slaves."
The queen looked at them, and looked at Huang Zixia intentionally, but only stayed for a moment, and then said: "The princess is young, and you need to take care of her when you come to the palace in the future."
"Yes." They quickly agreed.
Wang Ruo said: "Chong Gu and Aunt Suqi have done their best to me, and I have been taken care of by them in recent days."
"Well, if there's anything you don't like, tell me." Queen Wang said, she took Wang Ruo's hand and stood up and said, "Seven days later is the day you leave the cabinet. I have prepared something for you. You Go to the inner hall and have a look."
A group of people were waiting outside, the inner hall was deep and wide, and their voices were low and inaudible.After a while, several female officials accompanied by Queen Wang came out, and invited everyone to have dinner in the small outer hall.
The meals in the palace were different from those in the outside, they were made extremely carefully, but tasted bland, Huang Zixia put down his chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.The girl beside her, Xianyun, quickly nudged her with her elbow and asked, "Eunuch Yang, let's go to the gate of the hall to have a look, okay? It seems that you can overlook the entire Taiye Pond here, and I heard that many people will never see it in their lifetime." the scenery."
Although Huang Zixia is now an eunuch, he has had a lot of contacts in the Wang family, and he has also become acquainted with Xianyun for the first time.Xianyun is chattering and noisy, and people who are too familiar with her don't like her, so they want to drag her away.
She didn't want to eat such a meal anymore, so she and Xianyun walked to the door, stood by the railing outside the hall, and looked towards the north.
The weather is fine today, and the Taiye Pool not far away is dotted with sparkles. The islands in the center of the lake are like Penglai fairy islands, faintly dotted in the shimmering water waves of Taiye Pool.
"It's so beautiful, no wonder they all say that the imperial palace is the most beautiful place in the world." Xianyun opened his hands, as if he wanted to gather the beautiful scenery in his arms.
Huang Zixia looked down at the thousand-story building below, and said, "Yes, it's really beautiful."
It's just too solemn and gorgeous, but it doesn't look like the world, but like an untouchable Qionglou Yuyu, without the smell of fireworks in the world.
They were watching, when Yan Ling, the female official beside the Queen, came over and said, "The Queen has asked people to open the side hall, and the Princess needs to rest first. If you want to see the scenery in the palace, you can go to the Taiye Pond nearby to enjoy it." Now, don't go far away."
When Xianyun heard that he could go down to play, he immediately asked happily: "Really? That's great!"
Yanling then turned around and called an older court lady named Yaoyue, and asked her to take them to the Taiye Pond for a walk.Huang Zixia and Xianyun followed Yaoyue to the Taiye Pond, and as soon as they boarded the Tangmu boat, they heard someone shouting on the water: "Concubine Zhao is here, everyone in front stay out of the way!"
They looked up and saw a painting boat coming from the water, and an old man Huangmen stood at the bow, shouting at them with arrogance.
They hurriedly got off the Tangmu boat, and stood by the pier waiting for Concubine Zhao to land.
When the boat docked, several eunuchs and maids went ashore first, and then a girl with a round face and almond eyes came down. When Huang Zixia saw her, she was a little surprised, it turned out to be Princess Qile.I also remembered what was said in the capital, that in order to marry Concubine Zhao, Princess Qi Le went to Concubine Zhao's side to copy scriptures every day.Recently, I heard that she fell ill because of Princess Kui's affairs, unexpectedly she came to the palace again today to accompany Princess Zhao.
The Huangmen who just shouted out helped Taifei Zhao from the cabin.Concubine Zhao is a very gentle and charming person. When she smiles, there are fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. Her eyes are slightly tired, but the corners of her mouth are always raised.
Entered the palace at the age of thirteen, gave birth at the age of fifteen, became a concubine at the age of twenty-four, and even had her own palace in the Daming Palace. Much better than nature.
Huang Zixia and Xianyun hurried forward to pay their respects.Concubine Zhao heard that she was from Prince Kui's mansion, she looked at Huang Zixia and Xianyun with a smile, and after asking their names, she looked at Huang Zixia carefully and asked, "Are you the little eunuch Yang Chonggu who broke the 'Four Plans' of the capital? "
"Yes." Huang Zixia lowered her head and said.
"Well, he's a nice person and good-looking. King Kui always looks at people." She said, and asked again: "Are you accompanying Princess Kui into the palace today? Coincidentally, since I'm here, I'll go and see too. Miss Wang, from now on she will also belong to the royal family."
Concubine Zhao was full of laughter and led the people to the Penglai Hall.Huang Zixia waited for the group of people behind her to pass by, and was about to follow, when someone pulled her sleeves suddenly, and a woman beside her smiled and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Yang, we meet again."
She turned her head to look, and it turned out to be a woman holding a pipa in her arms. She has a round face, and she is a very beautiful and neat woman.
Huang Zixia recognized her as Jinnu, the musician who played the pipa next to Zhaowang Li last time, and quickly nodded to her.She covered her mouth with a smile, and said quietly: "Concubine Zhao wanted to listen to pipa music today, Lord Zhao asked me to come over."
Concubine Zhao is the biological mother of Zhao Wang Li, and Huang Zixia also knows it.While talking, they had already entered the gate of Penglai Hall, and Queen Wang came out to greet Concubine Zhao in person.
Standing at the bottom of the steps, Huang Zixia saw the queen leading Wang Ruo down the steps surrounded by all the ladies and gentlemen.
Queen Wang was condescending, looking down at Huang Zixia and the others below.The Penglai Hall is next to the Taiye Pool, when the water wind comes suddenly, the corners of the queen's skirts are rolled up, and the seven-fold gauze dress is like a crimson peony blooming in the wind, half covering her peerless grace, ethereal and gorgeous, Almost turned into a fairy and flew away.
Among all the beautiful clothes and flower-like faces, only Queen Wang's face is as bright as a bright moon, as if it can illuminate the spring in front of her. Even Wang Ruo, who is much younger than her behind her, can't take away the slightest brilliance from her.
Huang Zixia couldn't help forgetting the etiquette, just staring at her, unable to look away.She just felt that she was low in the dust, and she was ashamed of herself in front of the king and queen looking down on her.
She heard Jin Nu beside her softly "ah", very low, suppressed in her throat, almost inaudible.
Empress Wang glanced over them carelessly, and greeted Concubine Zhao directly: "Concubine Zhao is here, and my concubines are far away to welcome you."
"Hey, I don't like your vain gifts. Now you are the lord of the first palace. As an old woman, I have to rely on you to give me my salary and silk during the festivals." Concubine Zhao joked with a smile, and took the prince with her. The Queen's hand, walked towards the hall.
Concubine Zhao and Queen Wang laughed at Yan Yan, and Huang Zixia followed the crowd to the Penglai Hall.On the foundation of the three-story white marble hall, inside the Zhumen, the concubine and the queen sat on it. The concubine looked at Wang Ruo carefully, asked and talked with her, and smiled happily from time to time.Princess Qile stood beside them, with a gloomy face that was originally pleasant, but she didn't avoid going outside the hall, just stood motionless, like a wooden man.
There are sorrows and joys in the hall, but a group of people outside the hall just don't know it, standing quietly outside.Because Huang Zixia and the others were not close servants, they all waited outside.
Huang Zixia stood outside the hall, looking at Jin Nu's face beside him, drops of sweat slowly slipping down his face, even the powder makeup was almost stained.
She asked quietly: "What's the matter?"
"I... seem to be very hot." She said, her throat was a little hoarse.
Huang Zixia looked at the bright spring sun at this time, and felt that the wind was coming, and it didn't seem very hot, so she took out her handkerchief and handed it to her.
When Jin Nu took it, his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Jin Nu wiped the cold sweat off her face. Seeing Huang Zixia's strange expression, she forced a smile again and said, "It's nothing... Maybe it's my old problem. I... just go back and take a rest."
Huang Zixia nodded, looking up at Biyuntian above her head.
Jin Nu hesitated for a long time, then asked her in a low voice: "The one in red must be... Queen Wang?"
"Yes." Huang Zixia nodded in response.
"Then...the one behind her...is Princess Kui?"
Huang Zixia nodded again, and looked at her seriously, trying to see something from her face.
But on Jinnu's face, there was only a dazed and tranced expression. After a long time, she muttered in a low voice: "Impossible... If this is the case, how could it be possible that Princess Kui is her..."
Huang Zixia keenly felt that there must be something inside this, but Jinnu is just a pipa girl who came to the capital for the first time, so how could she know about this?
She was about to ask, when Yan Ling, the female officer next to the queen, came out and asked, "Which one is Jin Nu?"
"It's me..." Jin Nu hurriedly responded with his pipa in his arms.
"The concubine is calling you." Yan Ling said, then glanced at Huang Zixia again, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go in and serve Princess Kui?"
Huang Zixia quickly agreed, but Jin Nu hesitated for a moment, and took Huang Zixia's hand.Huang Zixia felt that her hands were covered with cold sweat and felt weak.
She knew that Jin Nu was unable to hold the pipa, so she helped her carry her and led her into the hall.
After Jinnu saluted, Huang Zixia put the pipa in her arms and handed her the jade dial before walking towards Wang Ruo.
She saw that Wang Ruo's face was as pale as a damaged flower, but her eyes kept staring at the ground, as if she didn't dare to face anyone in front of her, including a little pipa girl Jinnu.
Huang Zixia sighed softly in her heart, and stood behind her with a restrained expression.
Next to Princess Qile, she could clearly feel the gloomy aura emanating from Princess Qile, which made her involuntarily turn her head to take a look, only to see Princess Qile's resentful eyes were falling on Wang Ruo's. On his body, it was as if his gaze could be turned into a sharp blade, cutting Wang Ruo to death.
Seeing Huang Zixia looking at her, Princess Qi Le not only did not look away, but stared at her provocatively. The kind of righteous hatred made Huang Zixia admire her so much that she had to look away.
Concubine Zhao smiled to Queen Wang: "This is a new pipa girl in the teaching workshop. Her pipa skills are unmatched in the world. King Zhao loves her pipa the most. She said that in time, she will become a national player."
"Really? You are a national player at such a young age. Is it true that you have amazing skills?" Queen Wang smiled, her eyes casually sweeping at Jin Nu who was sitting on the lower side.
Jinnu hugged the pipa tightly, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Jinnu dare not be. Jinnu is not good at learning, no matter how strong she is, she is no better than my master. She is the real national player."
Empress Wang seemed to be interested now, she glanced at her a few times, but she didn't ask any questions.Concubine Zhao smiled and asked, "Which master is your master?"
"Her old man is a pipa enshrined in Yunshao Garden in Yangzhou, and her name is Mei Wanzhi. I don't know if everyone here has heard of her name? I am her only disciple."
Mei Wanzhi, Huang Zixia had never heard of this name, but when she heard the five words Yangzhou Yunshaoyuan, she felt a slight movement in her heart, thinking of Chen Nianniang and Feng Yiniang.They are also from Yunshaoyuan in Yangzhou——and this female pipa Jinnu is also from Yunshaoyuan, which is a bit of a coincidence.
Everyone didn't respond to this name, only Concubine Zhao seemed to like her very much, and said with a smile: "That must be because of your extraordinary talent, that's why your master favored you."
"Exactly, I was only five years old at the time, and my hometown was hit by a flood. My parents took me to the outskirts of Yangzhou. The family was dying of hunger, so they had to put me in a grass bid and sell me..." Jinnu hugged his pipa tightly, Jing Jing said, "At that time, my master happened to be passing by. She occasionally opened the curtain on the oil-walled car and opened the curtain. When she saw my hand, she called to stop. She came down and took my hand, and looked at it carefully. Once, before I saw my face, I asked someone to give money to my parents and bought me. My master said to me, Jinnu, your hands are born to play the pipa. You, just for this one thing."
Everyone's eyes naturally fell on her hands.I saw a pair of white and well-proportioned hands, with extremely long fingers, which even seemed a little bigger in a woman's hand, but Jin Nu smiled, crossed the pipa in his arms, gently pressed the neck of the pipa with his left hand, and gently pressed the neck of the pipa with his right hand. Pass the pipa strings with a jade dial.
At this moment, her hands suddenly stopped trembling, and her face also flushed slightly.With a movement of her fingers, the speed at which she plucked the strings made it impossible to see her hands clearly, and the gurgling music poured out, like big beads and small beads falling into the hall, but the beads were distinct and distinct. There are different ones, some are round, some are light, some are transparent, and some are soft. Thousands of feelings surge in an instant. On the high platform and in the hall, there is a faint echo, which is especially moving.
At the end of the song, everyone was immersed in it for a long time, unable to control themselves, even Wang Ruo took a long time to let out a sigh of relief.
Concubine Zhao looked at Queen Wang with a smile, and asked, "How is it?"
Only then did Huang Zixia realize that among the people in the hall, only the Empress Wang had a calm expression. At this time, she heard Zhao Taifei's question, and she said perfunctorily: "It's really good."
Huang Zixia remembered what others said, that the emperor loved extravagant banquets, while the empress Wang was quiet and indifferent, and had no interest in singing, dancing and banquets. It seemed to be true.
Jin Nu put down the pipa, stood up and bowed to the hall, saying: "Back then, the master said that my pipa is only endlessly prosperous, not lonely and lonely. This must be the limit of my skills in this life."
Queen Wang said: "You are young and beautiful now, and you are in the midst of the bustling capital, it's a good thing if you don't realize it."
Concubine Zhao said with a smile: "The empress is right, if you have experienced great sorrow and suffering, how can you understand loneliness? So it's good that the little girl doesn't know in this life!"
Jinnu saluted again and was about to step back. Concubine Zhao said again: "There is nothing to do today, why don't you tell me about your master, but you are still in Yangzhou now? Since she has such a good skill, when will she come to the palace to play for me?" A pipa?"
Jin Nu forced a smile and said, "My master has passed away."
Concubine Zhao said regretfully: "Unfortunately, I like the pipa the most, and I once called the descendants of the Cao family into the palace, but unfortunately the Cao family has already withered talent. From your tone, your master must have amazing skills? "
Jin Nu replied: "Yes. My master's pipa is unmatched by anyone in the world. If the concubine is interested, I will tell the concubine a story about my master's past."
Empress Wang showed an impatient expression on her face, she turned her head and asked Wang Ruo in a low voice, "How are you? Do you want to take a rest?"
Wang Ruo shook his head and said, "I'll just lie down when I go back, why don't you listen."
Princess Qi Le was beside her and said in a strange way: "That's right, it's better for the princess to stay in a place with many people, so as not to..."
In case of anything, she didn't say anything, but everyone knew it, even Concubine Zhao glanced at her, but luckily she didn't speak anymore.
Sitting on the stool, Jinnu held his pipa and said: "Sixteen years ago, in the prosperity of Yangzhou, master and five sisters jointly created Yunshao Garden, known as the six daughters of Yunshao. Later, my master married A man gave birth to a daughter, just as the first emperor ordered the world to be unified, and the other five of the six daughters of Yunshao were ordered to go to Beijing. Only my master had just given birth, so he was confinement at home.
"Every winter solstice day, the Jiangdu Palace is opened, and men, women, and children from all walks of life pour in to dance together. It is an annual event in Yangzhou. Before singing and dancing, the most prestigious band in Yangzhou must be selected to perform and dance.
"At that time, there was another band in Yangzhou called Jinli Garden. Because everyone said 'Yangzhou prospers in Yunshao', they were not angry, so they specially recruited 36 Persian orchids to come to Yangzhou. That year, as usual, Yunshao The maikos in Shaoyuan danced in the main hall of Jiangdu Palace. Just before the first dance was over, there was a sudden sound of music from the opposite pavilion. Among the thirty-six orchids, twelve orchids played Twenty-four maikos sang and danced together with konghou, or playing the shengxiao and pipe flute. The Persians were barefooted in tulle, with charming waists, blond hair and blue eyes, and whirled like the wind. One after another flocked there, vying to see the beauty of orchids, and the scene was chaotic and noisy.
"At that time, the group of dancers in Yunshaoyuan also panicked and stood on the stage with their hands down. I was at a loss. I was only eight years old at the time. The child was handed over to me, and when I walked to the door, I saw that the crowd was disturbing, and they all flocked to the other side. The thirty-six Hu Jisheng were busy, their waists were soft, and they were all over the place. Everyone applauded, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic for a moment. But on their side, it was deserted, only a few spectators were packing their things and preparing to go there.
"When my master saw the scene, he walked up to a pipa player in a few steps, took the pipa from her hand, sat on the chair by the hall, and raised his hand to play the pipa along with the tune of Tage.
"Only a pipa came out, and the clear sound resounded throughout the Jiangdu Palace. The birds were startled, and the mountains and ravines were echoing; Can't keep up with the beat; half of the song is not finished, none of the twelve orchids in Persia can make a tune, and all the harps and sheng pipes are dumb. In the entire Jiangdu Palace, only the sound of the pipa can be heard echoing, like a rain of flowers and pearls pouring out. Before the end of the song, the winter solstice set and snow fell, and the snowflakes flew with the sound of the pipa, as if the smoke and dust of the world were sent straight to the nine heavens by the music. Listening to that piece of pipa in the falling snow, no one can breathe loudly to disturb the music."
Hearing Jinnu's description, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, even Concubine Zhao couldn't help but clapped her hands and said, "It's really a miracle!"
Huang Zixia also secretly imagined the situation of that day in her heart, and she couldn't help being fascinated, feeling shocked for a long time in her heart.
"Yeah, for the rest of my life, maybe I won't hear that pipa that day again," Jin Nu smiled, and his expression was full of yearning, "The song is over, and it turns back and forth, and my master will play it again." A song. At this time, the sound of the pipa is no longer as high and loud as before, but has become bright and clear, as if urging the limbs and bones of the tourists, making people want to move. The Yunshaoyuan maikos in the hall recovered and immediately lined up as usual , lead the dance and dance. The tourists in the palace were fascinated for a while, and joined hands in the snow with the music, and began to dance and dance all night long. After that, Yangzhou left a legend that Mei Wan sent a pipa to a hundred demon dances. "
"I don't believe it," Princess Qi Le suddenly interrupted her, and said, "How can there be such a miraculous pipa in the world, you must be lying."
Jin Nu smiled and looked down at the ground, but didn't speak.
"Perhaps it will beautify it in memory as time goes by." Queen Wang said lightly, and then turned her head to tell Chang Ling, the female officer behind her, "Let the people from Neijiaofang bring a Neifu Pipa and give it to Miss Jinnu."
Jin Nu quickly thanked him, and said: "My pipa is called 'Autumn Dew and Frost'. It was a gift from my master back then. I have been used to it for so many years, and I am afraid I can't replace it."
Queen Wang said: "Then let the inner government send jade dials, pipa strings and rosin powder, etc. These should be useful."
Jin Nu thank you again.Concubine Zhao waved her hand and said: "Okay, now that I have met Princess Kui, I should go back to rest. Princess, please take care of yourself, your big day will be in a few days, and I will send someone to drink the wedding wine. "
"Thank you, Concubine." Wang Ruoying bowed down.
Concubine Zhao left with a group of people.Chang Ling signaled Jin Nu to go back first, and the gift from the palace would be sent to her later.
Huang Zixia also got up with Wang Ruo, and went to the side hall with her to rest.
When going down the steps, Princess Qi Le said in a voice that Wang Ruo could just hear: "Beauty is not uncommon. I think the appearance of this pipa girl is even more beautiful than some ladies."
Wang Ruo knew that she was mocking him, but she remained calm, while Jin Nu, who had been in a trance, suddenly smiled coldly and said: "The princess is joking, and it's not my turn to talk about beauty, my master That’s the real beauty of the world.”
"Your master?" Princess Qi Le didn't pay her any attention, and just said, "In today's world, except for the empress, who dares to call the word 'Qing Shi'?"
"The princess is right." Jinnu didn't care about being robbed, and turned to look at Huang Zixia with a smile, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon, and said, "Eunuch Yang, do you still remember the last time I treated you?" What did you say? I know that there are many girls who admire Prince Kui, for example—several sisters in Yangzhou City and Jiaofang. It would be great if Eunuch could let Prince Kui come to the Jiaofang more.”
Huang Zixia only nodded with a slight smile and did not speak.
It wasn't until she was gone that Princess Qi Le jumped up violently: "She...she mentions Jiaofang sisters to admire...what does she want to say when she admires King Kui?"
Huang Zixia kept silent, thinking in her heart, you can compare the pipa girl to Princess Kui, why can't she compare you to the Jiaofang sisters?
Looking at Jin Nuyona's leaving figure, she felt a little relieved for a moment, and was also a little worried that she would offend Princess Qile.
Wang Ruo went to the side hall to rest.Huang Zixia, Suqi, Xianyun, Ran Yun and others sat outside, afraid of disturbing Wang Ruo. Suqi and the long-aged female officer looked at the new palace flower style.In the afternoon of spring day, Huang Zixia didn't sleep well last night and was falling asleep.Suddenly there was a golden bell knocking from behind the screen in the inner hall, followed by a bird song, and then there was Wang Ruo's exclamation from the inner hall. Huang Zixia suddenly realized that when she jumped up, she found that Suqi and Changling had left the palace flower and ran to the inner hall.She hurried in and saw Wang Ruo shivering curled up on the couch, a strand of temple hair cut off on the bedding. Chang Ling pointed to the window and said in panic, "Over there... I saw the assassin escape through the window over there!" Huang Zixia immediately ran to the window to have a look, only to find that there was no one behind the Dianji. She immediately looked under the window and above the eaves of the bucket arch to see if the assassin was hiding here, but she didn't find anyone hiding.She was stunned, there was nowhere to hide as far as she could see in such a big place, if Chang Ling saw the assassin jumping over the wall, she would definitely not be able to escape from her sight. But, in such an instant, where did the assassin go? She looked back at Wang Ruo hesitantly, and saw that she was sitting sideways on the bed with her quilt in her arms, the half-dark sunset was shining on her face, and the broken strands at her temples had spread out, hanging half-length but not short. Her sideburns were not gathered together, casting a thin shadow on her cheeks, making her look even more dim. Queen Wang came over from the main hall, and after listening to them explain the process, she was suddenly furious: "In this Daming Palace, an assassin broke into the palace in broad daylight, intending to harm the princess! What are the people in the Imperial Forest Army doing!" A group of people were all silent and did not dare to answer. "I'm going to have an audience with the emperor. This matter is no small matter." Queen Wang said, she took a few steps to the entrance of the hall, then turned her head and glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "If this matter spreads, it will be a rumor that has already been raging in the capital. It will definitely intensify. Pass my order and strictly order everyone in the palace to silence the outside world. Yongqing, you go to the palace to inform King Kui immediately, and let him enter the palace immediately." Yongqing, the great eunuch of Penglai Palace, hurriedly responded and rushed out all the way. After the queen left, a group of people comforted Wang Ruo, Xianyun thanked Dade: "The queen is really thoughtful, she cares so much for the princess, she will definitely keep the princess safe and sound." Wang Ruo, however, seemed to be terrified, and just sat there in a daze without making a sound. Soon, the emperor's decree came down. Concubine Kui first lived in the Yongchun Palace of Daming Palace. The inner court mobilized a hundred Imperial Forest Army, led by Wang Yun, the right captain of the Imperial Forest Army; "That's great. There are two hundred people here, and there are three thousand imperial guards guarding the Daming Palace day and night. It's impossible for any suspicious person to hide." All the maids said happily.Wang Ruo forced a smile on his face.
Yongchun Hall is a small hall located in the southeast corner of Daming Palace. It was originally used as a warehouse in the palace, so the walls are extremely high and thick. It should be regarded as the most rigorous building in the palace. Not far from the east and south of the hall is the outer palace wall, which is more than five feet high, without a palace gate.There is a turret above the palace wall, and the guards are always patrolling, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to enter from here. The west side is the key point of protection, because it is close to the gate of Miyagi, if outsiders come in, it must be in this direction.However, the design of Yongchun Hall is strict, with a three-person-high wall on the west side, and only one corner gate is opened. Now there are two hundred people, so in addition to ordering the corner gate to be deadlocked and no one is allowed to enter or exit, four people were sent inside and outside the corner gate. Guarding, can be said to be impenetrable. The north faces the inner palace, but it is also strictly guarded. In addition to the double palace gates being closed, heavy troops are also stationed.Another point is that even those who are on patrol are not allowed to enter or leave after the door is locked at night, so as not to mix in the patrol team. According to the specific deployment, there are three lines of defense surrounding Wang Ruo - the innermost one is the palace ladies and eunuchs in the inner hall and the left and right attics, keeping an eye on Wang Ruo all the time.The second is the thirty people in the outer hall, scattered in the corridors and pavilions of the outer hall, and people entering and leaving the inner hall and attic can be seen at any time.There are 30 people on the inside of the palace wall, and 30 people patrolling outside the palace wall.A group of ninety people, two shifts.The other two classes each have eight team leaders, two in charge of the leader, a total of 200 people. The Yongchun Hall, which is not large in shape, is always guarded by a hundred people, almost feeling like it is not able to get through. "The palace has been strictly searched, and no one has sneaked in. Please rest assured, Wangfei!" The two leaders of the Imperial Guard Army and the Palace Army reported to Wang Ruo and Wang Yun. Wang Yun nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Wang Ruo, and said, "I believe that my sister is safe now. It's getting late at night, so go to rest early. I'm in the front hall. If you need anything, you can find me." Wang Ruo and Huang Zixia escorted him to the door and watched him leave. Huang Zixia stood at the gate of the hall, looking at the guards scattered among the verandas and rockery outside, the surrounding formation made her see the birdcage in the hands of the mysterious man in Xianyou Temple.However, who would have thought that a purple bamboo birdcage that looks densely woven has an unknown mechanism, and it only needs a small movement to turn things around and steal dragons and phoenixes. And Wang Ruo was like the little bird in the cage, sitting alone in the hall, watching the maids lighting up the lamps, looking thoughtful. Huang Zixia walked up to her and asked, "What is the princess looking at?" Wang Ruo slowly withdrew his eyes from the lamp, looked up at her, and there was a faint flickering light in his tearful eyes: "Chonggu, I..." Her throat was choked, slightly hoarse, and her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "I feel like I have had a dream of floating life for the past month... I have a situation that I never imagined in my dreams, but everything All of a sudden, it will be turned into a dream again, like a fleeting spring lantern, which will be extinguished in a blink of an eye." Huang Zixia could hear the endless sadness in her voice, and there seemed to be a deeper layer of sorrow hidden in the sadness. The wind passed by the gate of the palace slowly, and the palace lanterns rotated slowly in the wind, bright and dark. The wind blows, the spring lights are dark, and the rain passes by, and the fleeting years hurt.Huang Zixia looked at Wang Ruo's drooping face. Such a young girl in her prime felt as if she was facing an abyss and walking on thin ice. Although she knew that Feng Yiniang's death might be related to her, and she didn't know what kind of soul existed in this seemingly delicate girl's heart, Huang Zixia still unknowingly felt a little pity, and comforted her in a low voice: "Princess Relax, now in the Daming Palace, there are so many soldiers guarding it tightly, not even a small bug can fly in, it is absolutely impossible for mistakes to happen." Wang Ruo nodded, but still looked preoccupied. Huang Zixia didn't know how to comfort her, and felt that the queen seemed to be taking too much of it, which actually doubled Wang Ruo's pressure.Just as he was thinking about comforting Wang Ruo, when he looked up, he saw Li Shubai appearing in the bright light outside. He walked to the gate of the hall and took a look inside. Xianyun Ranyun hurriedly saluted, Suqi stood up with Wang Ruo and saluted him. Under the light, she saw that the moment Wang Ruo's eyes looked at Li Shubai, they glowed like pearls with an unusually moving brilliance.However, her expression was shy and slightly sad. Under the reflection of a palace lantern, she was half happy and half sad, and even a smile couldn't hide the faint sadness between her brows. Li Shubai glanced at her, nodded to her, but didn't speak, only signaled Huang Zixia to come out. Huang Zixia bowed to Wang Ruo and went out, and together with Li Shubai walked along the green brick floor of the atrium, through the rockery, to the veranda of the front hall.It is only five zhang away from the inner hall where Wang Ruo is, and all the movements over there can be seen clearly. Li Shubai looked over there and asked, "What are you planning to do tonight?" "Suqi, Xianyun, and Ran Yun accompanied the concubine to sleep in the left pavilion of the inner hall, and Anfu and the others slept in the right pavilion. There is only one hall in the middle, so we can take care of anything at any time." "Well, I don't believe that in the Daming Palace, which is guarded by heavy troops and watched by everyone, something big will happen." Li Shubai said, frowning slightly, "It's just a few days away from the day when the concubine is accepted. A posture, it seems that this matter is a bit troublesome." Huang Zixia was still thinking about what the so-called trouble was, only to hear Li Shubai say lightly: "Originally, I should have taken out that gengtie in these two days, after all, time is tight." There was no emotion in his voice, as plain as talking about today's weather, without hesitation or disgust, but even more ruthless. Huang Zixia thought about Wang Ruo's faint and confused expression, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Could it be that the prince wants to reveal the truth at the moment when the princess is registered? If this is the case, the empress and the Wang family may not look good." "I'll settle it privately. How could I not give Langya Wang's face." Huang Zixia didn't know what to say, but when she turned her head, she saw Wang Ruo coming from the inner hall.The cool night breeze blew her hair from her sleeves. She was wearing a yellow shirt, with only a fairy bun tied loosely on her head, and a leaf-veined dew hairpin stuck on her temples.She led Ran Yun through the rockery in the garden and walked towards them. Her figure is plump and slim, she is half a head taller than ordinary women, and when she walks, her posture is like flying on the water, graceful and moving. When she came in front of them, she bowed profusely and said softly, "I have seen Prince Kui." Li Shubai nodded, motioning for her to get up. She got up and looked up at Li Shubai, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, my lord, for asking me personally. Wang Ruo is very grateful. I imagine that the Daming Palace is heavily guarded, and there are so many royal troops and imperial guards guarding it day and night, so nothing will go wrong. Your lord can be sympathetic." .” She said such words, but looked up at Li Shubai with her eyes wide open, showing a sad and frightened expression like a frightened deer, and even a kind of reluctant nostalgia.Huang Zixia could imagine how sad and disappointed she would be if Li Shubai really listened to her and left at this moment. Fortunately, Li Shubai only smiled slightly, and said to her: "It's definitely the case, don't worry. You go to rest first, and you can live in peace in the palace from tomorrow." "Yes." Wang Ruo bent down and bowed down. Thick and long eyelashes covered her eyes, and a light flashed in her eyes like water waves. For a moment, Huang Zixia thought it was a tear. She stood up and walked towards the inner hall without saying anything else. Li Shubai and Huang Zixia watched as she circled the rockery in the night wind and returned to the palace slowly but without stopping.When she walked to the entrance of the hall, she seemed to be in a daze, and kicked her foot on the threshold. Ran Yun hurriedly supported her and helped her straighten her skirt. Li Shubai looked away and said, "Since there are so many guards, then I'll go back home, and you will pay more attention here." "Okay." Huang Zixia agreed, but her eyes were still on the side of the inner hall.只见闲云提着食盒出来，一路向着后面小厨房去了，冉云提着灯出来照着外面，一边轻声说着什么。 黄梓瑕便隔着假山大声问：“你们在找什么？” 冉云将手拢在口边，大声说：“王妃那支叶脉凝露簪不见了！” 黄梓瑕便朝李舒白摆一下手，说：“我去帮她们找找。” 李舒白目送她快步走过庭院，一言不发。 黄梓瑕穿过假山时，一眼看到地上的一点金色，金制镂空的叶脉形状，上面缀着露珠般的两颗珍珠，正是刚刚插在王若鬓边的那一支叶脉簪。 她捡起来，快步走到冉云身边，递给她。 冉云接过，两人走到殿门口时，正遇上提着食盒回来的闲云。她苦恼地打开食盒给她们看：“小膳房的厨娘已经被遣走了，只在柜子中找到几块酥饼，你们晚上吃不？” “吃吃吃，就知道吃，你看看自己腰身多少了？”冉云嘲讽地问。 闲云还嘴：“哼，当年杨贵妃珠圆玉润，倾国倾城呢。” “就你还跟杨贵妃比？再说了，她是百年前的人了，如今早不时兴胖美人了！看看咱王妃的腰身，才叫好看呢！” 黄梓瑕站在殿内，听左阁毫无声响，不由得快步走到阁门口，向内看去。 小阁之内，一张垂流苏雕海棠的矮床上缂丝锦被尚叠得整整齐齐；一架空空的镶嵌螺钿雕花榻静静放置在窗下；一张漫天花雨撒金地毯上，陈设着一个矮几两个锦垫；一架四季花卉紫檀衣柜排在墙角。 宫灯光辉如水银泻地般冰凉明亮，照彻整个小阁，没有人影。 刚刚在这么多人的注视下走进左阁的王若，不过短短一刹那，就无声无息消失在阁内，仿佛一缕青烟飘散在空气中。 在身后一干人愣怔之际，黄梓瑕已经大步上前，打开衣柜看了里面一眼，又俯身看向床底，最后转到榻后，打开紧闭的窗户，看向外面，正看到面向着小阁窗户笔直站立的两名守卫。 她抬头，看见前殿的李舒白，正和身边的王蕴说着什么，似乎是眼角余光注意到她这边的动静，他的目光转过来，看了她一眼。 她朝他招手，示意他出事了。 李舒白与王蕴快步穿过庭院走过来，看了一眼空无一人的阁内，立即指挥众人在大殿和左右阁内寻找。然而雍淳殿就这么大的地方，一会儿工夫所有角落都搜遍了，王若毫无影迹。 只听得外面脚步声急促，皇后身边的女官长龄带着素绮匆匆进来，问：“出什么事了？” 待看见殿内的李舒白，她又赶紧行礼，目光探寻地望着闲云和冉云，闲云忙低声说道：“王妃……不知去哪儿了。” 长龄大惊，说：“我正奉了皇后命和素绮一起给王妃清点了宫花和衣衫送来呢，怎么……这短短几时，这么多人，怎么就……” 王蕴说道：“你先去回禀皇后吧，我这边再命人将雍淳殿搜寻一番，若找着人了，定会及早报知皇后。” “你们留几个帮忙找人，我赶紧先回蓬莱殿。”长龄说着，示意身后几个捧着衣服的宫女赶紧把东西放下，只带了两三个人先赶回去了。 王蕴吩咐下去，雍淳殿中这么多人几乎把每一寸草皮、每一块青砖、每一根木头都翻来覆去查了十余次，却没有发现任何蛛丝马迹。 真的和预言中的一样，王若消失在大婚之前，而且，是在这样的重兵保卫中，大明宫之内。
Wang Ruo went to the side hall to rest.Huang Zixia, Suqi, Xianyun, Ran Yun and others sat outside, afraid of disturbing Wang Ruo. Suqi and the long-aged female officer looked at the new palace flower style.In the afternoon of spring day, Huang Zixia didn't sleep well last night and was falling asleep.Suddenly there was a golden bell knocking from behind the screen in the inner hall, followed by a bird song, and then there was Wang Ruo's exclamation from the inner hall. Huang Zixia suddenly realized that when she jumped up, she found that Suqi and Changling had left the palace flower and ran to the inner hall.She hurried in and saw Wang Ruo shivering curled up on the couch, a strand of temple hair cut off on the bedding. Chang Ling pointed to the window and said in panic, "Over there... I saw the assassin escape through the window over there!" Huang Zixia immediately ran to the window to have a look, only to find that there was no one behind the Dianji. She immediately looked under the window and above the eaves of the bucket arch to see if the assassin was hiding here, but she didn't find anyone hiding.She was stunned, there was nowhere to hide as far as she could see in such a big place, if Chang Ling saw the assassin jumping over the wall, she would definitely not be able to escape from her sight. But, in such an instant, where did the assassin go? She looked back at Wang Ruo hesitantly, and saw that she was sitting sideways on the bed with her quilt in her arms, the half-dark sunset was shining on her face, and the broken strands at her temples had spread out, hanging half-length but not short. Her sideburns were not gathered together, casting a thin shadow on her cheeks, making her look even more dim. Queen Wang came over from the main hall, and after listening to them explain the process, she was suddenly furious: "In this Daming Palace, an assassin broke into the palace in broad daylight, intending to harm the princess! What are the people in the Imperial Forest Army doing!" A group of people were all silent and did not dare to answer. "I'm going to have an audience with the emperor. This matter is no small matter." Queen Wang said, she took a few steps to the entrance of the hall, then turned her head and glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "If this matter spreads, it will be a rumor that has already been raging in the capital. It will definitely intensify. Pass my order and strictly order everyone in the palace to silence the outside world. Yongqing, you go to the palace to inform King Kui immediately, and let him enter the palace immediately." Yongqing, the great eunuch of Penglai Palace, hurriedly responded and rushed out all the way. After the queen left, a group of people comforted Wang Ruo, Xianyun thanked Dade: "The queen is really thoughtful, she cares so much for the princess, she will definitely keep the princess safe and sound." Wang Ruo, however, seemed to be terrified, and just sat there in a daze without making a sound. Soon, the emperor's decree came down. Concubine Kui first lived in the Yongchun Palace of Daming Palace. The inner court mobilized a hundred Imperial Forest Army, led by Wang Yun, the right captain of the Imperial Forest Army; "That's great. There are two hundred people here, and there are three thousand imperial guards guarding the Daming Palace day and night. It's impossible for any suspicious person to hide." All the maids said happily.Wang Ruo forced a smile on his face.
Yongchun Hall is a small hall located in the southeast corner of Daming Palace. It was originally used as a warehouse in the palace, so the walls are extremely high and thick. It should be regarded as the most rigorous building in the palace. Not far from the east and south of the hall is the outer palace wall, which is more than five feet high, without a palace gate.There is a turret above the palace wall, and the guards are always patrolling, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to enter from here. The west side is the key point of protection, because it is close to the gate of Miyagi, if outsiders come in, it must be in this direction.However, the design of Yongchun Hall is strict, with a three-person-high wall on the west side, and only one corner gate is opened. Now there are two hundred people, so in addition to ordering the corner gate to be deadlocked and no one is allowed to enter or exit, four people were sent inside and outside the corner gate. Guarding, can be said to be impenetrable. The north faces the inner palace, but it is also strictly guarded. In addition to the double palace gates being closed, heavy troops are also stationed.Another point is that even those who are on patrol are not allowed to enter or leave after the door is locked at night, so as not to mix in the patrol team. According to the specific deployment, there are three lines of defense surrounding Wang Ruo - the innermost one is the palace ladies and eunuchs in the inner hall and the left and right attics, keeping an eye on Wang Ruo all the time.The second is the thirty people in the outer hall, scattered in the corridors and pavilions of the outer hall, and people entering and leaving the inner hall and attic can be seen at any time.There are 30 people on the inside of the palace wall, and 30 people patrolling outside the palace wall.A group of ninety people, two shifts.The other two classes each have eight team leaders, two in charge of the leader, a total of 200 people. The Yongchun Hall, which is not large in shape, is always guarded by a hundred people, almost feeling like it is not able to get through. "The palace has been strictly searched, and no one has sneaked in. Please rest assured, Wangfei!" The two leaders of the Imperial Guard Army and the Palace Army reported to Wang Ruo and Wang Yun. Wang Yun nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Wang Ruo, and said, "I believe that my sister is safe now. It's getting late at night, so go to rest early. I'm in the front hall. If you need anything, you can find me." Wang Ruo and Huang Zixia escorted him to the door and watched him leave. Huang Zixia stood at the gate of the hall, looking at the guards scattered among the verandas and rockery outside, the surrounding formation made her see the birdcage in the hands of the mysterious man in Xianyou Temple.However, who would have thought that a purple bamboo birdcage that looks densely woven has an unknown mechanism, and it only needs a small movement to turn things around and steal dragons and phoenixes. And Wang Ruo was like the little bird in the cage, sitting alone in the hall, watching the maids lighting up the lamps, looking thoughtful. Huang Zixia walked up to her and asked, "What is the princess looking at?" Wang Ruo slowly withdrew his eyes from the lamp, looked up at her, and there was a faint flickering light in his tearful eyes: "Chonggu, I..." Her throat was choked, slightly hoarse, and her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "I feel like I have had a dream of floating life for the past month...
