Chapter 52 I want to look for the bright moon in the mountain

The dead are silent, and the living are happy. No one's death can change the journey of others. If there is grief, it will fade slowly with the circulation of the annual rings.If there is fear, it will gradually be forgotten as time goes by. Soon, the concubines in the harem forgot about Lan Zhaorong's death, forgot about her ghost's wandering, and even forgot that there was such a person. Those who have been included in the roster of "Mingyue Mountain Villa" are making sufficient preparations for this summer vacation.And those who have not entered the roster can spend their days leisurely in the palace with peace of mind. As long as they keep their duties, they will have a fixed salary every month. Their life is only a few tens of years, and they are peaceful and have no regrets.

I can't avoid going to Mingyue Mountain Villa, and I am full of yearning.Even more yearning than others, in this palace, I always have nightmares, every time I am on the verge of perfection. Fortunately, the night has an end, otherwise I would have died long ago. Pack your bags. In fact, I don’t have a bag, but a few silk chiffon skirts and a plain piano.There are not many things in the world that I love. I am afraid of getting tired when I love them. At night, watching the water lilies stretching slowly, the green willows outside the window, and the sound of cicadas, on a whim, I couldn't help but pluck the strings again. I think this is probably the last time I play the piano before I go to Mingyue Villa. When I come back , it must be almost autumn cool.

"Han's first beauty, the shade of willows hangs green, the sound of cicadas pierces the green gauze. Lightly frowning and looking at the shadows, slowly touching the strings, and pity the hairpin flowers on the temples. Sighing secretly, complaining about the mountains and mountains, and the wild geese flattening the sand. Swallowing sadly, Yueguan Mountain, tired of Hakkas... Thinking of the tenderness of the spring breeze, the rain stops and the clouds stay, and I take it back to soak in the lingering clouds. The smoke from the stove is thin, the garden pool pavilion, and the moon is cooking tea. Looking at the window, the meaning is hard to get, the sky is swaying and the stars are slanting .Only a secret promise in the heart, lingering on the red thread, flowing to the end of the world..."

A piece of "Long Lovesickness Slowly" flows in the cool night. I love piano poems. It is so heartfelt and heartfelt. I have a dream tonight, and the dream is in Zijin City. A mighty group of people, lined up neatly, sitting in chariots, bright yellow, majestic and noble, extremely luxuriously laid out, starting from the magnificent red gold main gate, a beautiful long dragon stretches ten miles from the imperial street to the palace gate. . Passing through Jinling City, the people in the city were so crowded that they knelt on the ground, shouting long live, the strength of the people alone was enough to swallow mountains and rivers.I finally understand why the heroes of the past dynasties have to fight for the country at all costs. The people in the world will kneel at your feet and become your people. The heroism and generosity of the world and all things are inspiring.

The carriage drove past Jinling City, and the people outside the city also kowtowed one after another, until they reached the mountain path, the surroundings were silent, except for the sound of the wind, the singing of birds, the murmur of running water and brooks, there were hardly any people. Along the way, the boats and vehicles were tiring, and they passed several states and counties before arriving at Mingyue Mountain Villa.Mingyue Villa is actually not far away, it is just 30 miles outside of Huaxu City, on a beautiful mountain, there is a palace on the mountain that is the same as the building in Zijin City, smaller than that, and there are still some cleaning maids staying inside. The inner prison and guards of the Royal Forest Army.

They have their palaces, but there is no Yueyang Palace. Chunyi arranged me in a very elegant courtyard. The location is actually the former Yueyang Palace. The furnishings inside are also very similar. Zhuyun Garden was changed to Yueyang Palace, in order to give me a friendly feeling and also give him a sense of familiarity. The red walls of the rich gate, stepping into the courtyard, you can see the flowers surrounded by bamboos, the plantains are sparsely rolled, the begonias are raging, and the peonies are fragrant.There is also a quiet pond in the courtyard, with rockery standing in the pond, gurgling water, lotus lotus stretching, carp wearing stalks, carefree and unrestrained.

The main hall was also changed to Meiyun Hall, with the same decoration as Yueyang Palace in Zijin City.Most of the previous court maids and internal eunuchs did not bring them, they only brought Qiuxi, Yanping and red paper, as well as the head of the internal eunuch Liu Kuigui, Xiao Xingzi, and Xiao Yuanzi.The maids and inner eunuchs of Zhuyun Garden here have saluted me, and after I got acquainted with the environment a little bit, I went to the Nuan Pavilion to rest. Concubine Wu and Xie Ronghua live in a palace very close to me, they still live in Lingque Palace and Pianran Palace, so do Concubine Yun and Concubine Xu Gui.This time the Empress Dowager did not come, she said that she was getting old and was not feeling well, but in fact the Empress Dowager was not too old, probably because she didn't want to be exhausted, so it was better to live in the palace for peace of mind.The queen also insisted on refusing to accompany her at the beginning, but she couldn't withstand Chunyi's request and came anyway. She was weak and brought several imperial doctors from the palace with her.

That night the emperor held a banquet in Qianqing Palace, just like Zijin City, the banquet was held outside the main hall.The accompanying concubines, as well as some princes and ministers were all present, and the gorgeous scene was not inferior to Zijin City. I saw Chunzhen, the Prince of Youling who was sitting with me. I hadn't seen him since I met him at the Snowy Night in Shanglin Garden during the night banquet of Qianqing Palace.Until I was poisoned, he hired a detox doctor for me, and he never rewarded him face to face.I have always wanted to find a chance, but I have to be very cautious in every move in the harem, and if I make a mistake, I will be caught.That encounter with him on a snowy night was almost used by Lan Zhaorong as an excuse, but fortunately Concubine Wu came to my rescue.

I had a momentary exchange of eyes with him, he is still the same as before, personable, poetic and elegant, with a jade flute on his waist, he is worthy of the title of the jade flute prince.However, my body has never recovered well after being poisoned, and I was haunted by nightmares, and I was haggard and thinner. I think he must feel a little regretful. Chunyi ordered me to sit next to him, and there was everything that one could expect from food and wine. Everyone toasted and celebrated together, and it was extremely joyful. With the sound of gongs and drums on the stage, the troupe used all their abilities to please the emperor, leaping and leaping on the stage, presenting a scene of prosperity for the country and the people.

I have always disliked this lively scene, and in addition to the exhaustion of traveling and traveling in recent days, I feel very tired.After persisting for a while, I really felt exhausted, so I leaned into Chunyi's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, this concubine has some headaches, and I want to retire first and go back to Yueyang Palace to rest." Chunyi's face changed from the joy just now to tense: "What's the matter? Is Mei'er not feeling well? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to treat you?" I postponed: "Going back to the emperor, it's okay, but I'm a little tired, there's been a lot of trouble here, and my concubine wants to go back and rest first."

Chunyi nodded and agreed: "Okay, how about I accompany you back first?" "No need, the emperor is indispensable here, and it is enough for the concubines to be accompanied by Qiuxi." "Then I will arrange a car for you. You have never been here before, you are unfamiliar." "It's really unnecessary. Did the emperor forget that the location here is the same as that of Zijin City, besides, there are Xiao Xingzi and the others leading the way. This place is very close to Yueyang Palace, and the concubine can just walk there. Take advantage of this summer night to blow the wind." The cool breeze will make you feel much more comfortable.” I insisted on taking a walk. Chunyi showed a worried look on his face: "I'm still not at ease." I smiled: "It's really all right, when we arrive at Yueyang Palace, the concubine ordered someone to come over and pass on the message." "Okay, be careful all the way." I got up, left my seat quietly, and walked to Shanglin Garden alone. Everything is really familiar, there is almost no difference from Zijin City, the former emperor actually designed the palace to be the same as the main palace, which shows that he is also a very rigorous and nostalgic person.After Chunyi ascended the throne, he ordered people to decorate the place like the palace in Zijin City. Mingyue Villa was built next to the mountain and lived near the water. Walking in Shanglin Garden unknowingly, the summer heat fades away, the cool breeze is like water, refreshing, the clear waves in the lake are sparkling, the moonlight casts clear shadows, and you lean on the bridge to see the scenery. I looked at Xiao Xingzi and a few small eunuchs following behind, it was a rare and cool moonlit night, and I didn't want them to disturb my interest by following.So he called out, "Little Xingzi." "What are your orders, Ma'am?" "You take them back to Yueyang Palace first, I want to enjoy the cool and enjoy the scenery here." Xiao Xingzi's face showed embarrassment: "But... Your Majesty..." "Go, as long as Qiuxi stays with me." "Yes, the slave obeys." After they left, I felt a lot more relaxed. Carrying the autumn osmanthus, I walked all the way through the smooth and quiet path, passing Yujing Lake, Cuiping Bridge, Crescent Bridge, and Feiyun Bridge. Even the names of these bridges are exactly the same. I really admire their long-term love. This scene is so similar to that snowy night last year, with bright fireworks blooming in the sky, a kind of extremely magnificent beauty, which makes people startled. It wasn't until the flames gradually subsided that I felt the coolness and tranquility of the summer night.The cicadas sang, the lotus blossoms in the center of the lake bloomed lightly, my figure was stretched slender under the moonlight, and I could still see the swaying shadow of the hosta. There was a shadow superimposed on my shadow, and I was shocked. It was a slender man, a very familiar figure.
