Chapter 87 Participation to non-participation

When it was very late at night, Chunyi came to Yueyang Palace. At this time, I was still lying on the pear wood chair, I didn’t want to do anything, I didn’t want to eat anything, I just wanted to lie quietly, thinking about those things that I once had. past and future events. Chun Yi walked to my side lightly, and he took off his bright yellow brocade robe, which was still covered with some flakes of snow.I got up and greeted him: "Your Majesty, is it snowing again?" Chunyi nodded lightly, and flicked his sleeves: "Yes, it only stopped for a while. The little snow on my skirt fell from the yard just now."

He walked to the front of the case, saw some ink stains on the stacked rice paper, took it over to look at it, and praised: "Meier's words are good, but this word is a bit depressing. You should not make such a depressing sentence when you are ill. Besides, I I have been with you all the time, how can I complain that the good dream was yesterday? It’s the time of youth, how can it be that time has passed away like water.” I hurried over to take off the rice paper, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine is free and doing nothing, writing for fun, don't take it seriously."

Chun Yi smiled: "Mei'er, poems can be expressed from the bottom of one's heart. They are based on what is in one's heart, what is in one's mind, and what is in one's heart. How can it be written for fun? Don't worry, I don't blame you. Maybe it's my recent past." I was too busy here, and I left you out in the cold." I shook my head lightly: "No, Your Majesty, just looking at this Xueyue, I feel emotional." Chunyi looked out of the window and meditated, and said lightly: "There are countless ups and downs in a hundred generations...Since ancient times, the moon has remained...I love these two sentences the most. The ups and downs are countless, and the moon is still bright. It is well written."

I smiled: "Yes, there are countless ups and downs, and the moon is still bright." Smelling the quiet fragrance of wintersweet, I saw a branch of wintersweet in the ancient blue porcelain vase on the case table, and the twig was covered with wax-like petals, and asked in surprise: "Your majesty, you broke it for my concubine." Is it?" Chunyi smiled and said softly: "I just folded it in the yard just now. I folded it to send lovesickness, so that Mei'er could smell the fragrance and fall asleep." "My concubine thanked the emperor." I saluted him.

There was a short silence between each other, just facing the window sill, although it was night, the gray night sky and crystal white snow set off the night very brightly, I could clearly see the snow petals flying outside the window, curly like goose feathers, Falling west and east, or hanging plum branches quietly, or floating into bamboo leaves, or being involved in heavy curtains.Lost in the hazy smog, there are still unknown birds on the branches, not afraid of the severe cold, as if they are expecting something, but there is nothing to expect. Chunyi sighed softly: "It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but the suffering of the people still needs to be relieved by me, the emperor."

I was shocked. I said these words during the day, but the meaning was different.I said in a deep voice, "Yes, the rise and fall of the people is suffering, and the auspicious snow is flying, but it can't solve the suffering in the world, but the emperor can, you are the god in the hearts of the people in the brilliant world." Chunyi looked at me and asked, "Do you know what?" I smiled lightly: "It seems that the emperor has something on his mind that he can't let go of, and the concubine also understands a thing or two." I didn't tell Chun Yi what I knew, these private inquiries made him laugh at me for being troublesome.Besides, concubines in the harem cannot participate in politics. Although this is not participating in politics, it is still a matter of the court and has nothing to do with me.Chun Yi wanted to tell me and he would naturally say so, but I would only annoy him if I asked.

Chunyi sighed: "It's been less than a few months since the supreme ruler of the Jianghu has been rampant this time, and his power is growing day by day. If such a disturbance occurs, the world will be in chaos and people's hearts will be floating. There are waves of rivers and lakes in the pass, the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the rebels in the court; King, he wants to annex the Central Plains again, and it seems that the time for bloody battles is coming." Chun Yi is obviously more worried today than before. In the past, he was full of confidence and felt that everything was under his control. Odds are good.But one thing, I know very well, if Chu Xianmo is really Chu Yu, and he is determined to fight Chun Yi, then this war must be the most brilliant and cruelest in history.If these two men from different backgrounds are really fighting each other, should I be in the middle of it, should I look at each other with cold eyes?

There was a cool breeze blowing outside the window, the snowflakes danced wildly, and the fragrance was blowing. I said softly, "Your Majesty, do you think it's the wind, the snow, or the flowers, people, or heart?" Thinking back to the day when I snuggled into his arms and smelled the smell of Buddha, I decided so resolutely that he would not become a demon and would not change. Am I wrong?Are my feelings all wrong? Chunyi was silent, looking out of the window with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Meiqing asked well, is it the wind, or the snow, or the flowers, people, or the heart? Although everything is moving, the heart is still. Yes, although people are still, their hearts are moving. This is the difference between people and things. At this time, it must be the heart that is moving so that they can't be calm."

I put my hand out of the window, and a few snowflakes fell on my palm, which instantly melted due to the heat, and there was only a slight coolness, but it made me feel comfortable.Can't help sighing softly: "Your Majesty, in such a snowy night and a good night, and in such a season that requires mutual support, why are there always so many disputes? , isn't it good?" Chunyi gently brushed the hair on my forehead, and said in a low voice: "Fool, if it is like this, how can there be killing disputes, how can there be ups and downs, how can there be vicissitudes of life?"

I said in relief: "That's right, no song can't be made without joys and sorrows, no book can't be made without tears, no success or failure can't make a fight, it's like this from generation to generation, and it's the same in life. The courtiers and concubines should face it with a very peaceful mind, Your Majesty." Woolen cloth?" "Of course I have to go forward bravely, with an invincible momentum, and eradicate these people one by one, so that I can restore the prosperity of Daqi Qingming, and my people's life in peace." He raised his hands and said hurriedly, his confidence doubled. In the blink of an eye, he regained the domineering spirit of Ling Ran.However, he was secretly worried that the appearance of Chu Xianmo would change everything, and the storm at that time might be unpredictable.I want to stop all this, if he is Chu Yu, I am willing to try.Not for Chunyi, not for Chuyu, not for Daqi, not for the common people in the world, I just want to give it a try.

I looked at Chun Yi with admiring eyes: "The concubine will support you silently, believing that everything is temporary, and when they understand, they will sincerely support the emperor, because you are a kind and wise king." The corners of Chunyi's mouth lightly lifted, and he squeezed out a sneer: "Meiqing doesn't know that sometimes in history, there is no need for benevolent and wise kings, but for the kind of ruthless and domineering kings. They have left deep-rooted memories for the world. And those so-called benevolent and wise monarchs, in the end, are just unknown, leaving a tepid name in history." I asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you care about this name?" Chunyi was silent, and after a while, he smiled lightly: "If you say you don't care, it's a lie. Although it's a false name, you only want these things in life. If you don't want anything, living is tantamount to nothingness. Love and hate Enmity, joys and sorrows, a perfect life is only when you have tasted it all, what do you think?" I nodded and smiled: "Yes, what the emperor said is right. Even ordinary people are like this, let alone the emperor. No matter how mediocre the emperor will be, his name will be recorded in the history books, let alone a wise emperor like the emperor, who is courageous, resourceful, and kind. " Chun Yi laughed loudly: "Hehe, what Meier said warms my heart, but although I care about it, I won't force it, I only do what I should do, and it doesn't matter what I leave in the history books. It's important." Chun Yiyuan is an open-minded and sincere person, today's words further confirm this point, he candidly stated what he wants, and he can accept what the world will give in the future.Even so, there will still be a lot of tangled emotions. I praised: "Your majesty is so open-minded, which makes my concubines admire. The world cannot be without desires and demands, even Buddhas and immortals. If it is true that there is no desires and desires, there will be no soul in existence. You say immortals Does the Buddha have a soul?" Chunyi smiled and said: "You have stumped me. I believe there are some. Immortals and Buddhas have no souls. How to save people? To take charge of everything? I am the Son of Heaven, and the world belongs to me alone, but I still have something to do." I got it." What Chun Yi said, I actually understand that what they can't get is people's hearts.Chunyi can get everything in the world and people in the world, but there will still be betrayal and infidelity among these people.The same is true for Buddhas and immortals. Not all people believe in Buddhas and immortals, and there are demons to contend with them.Since ancient times, countless immortals have been relegated to the mortal world because of the world. Could it be that they have not cultivated to the realm?Therefore, there are no absolutes in the world, everything is specious, false and true.Participating here and there, the taste of the world is the same, it is better not to participate, and to look at each other with cold eyes. I was immersed in my own thoughts, Chunyi called softly: "Meier, are you thinking deeply again?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I didn't think deeply, I was just thinking about what the emperor said." Chunyi looked at me with his deep eyes, which were so clear and sharp under the candlelight.He said in a low voice, "Mei Qing, sometimes your silence can penetrate people's hearts better than words." "Pierce through the heart?" I asked puzzled. "Yes, you can penetrate people's hearts. Your wisdom and intelligence are enough to penetrate people's hearts. You have insight into human affairs and world affairs. You know everything, but you don't say it, and you never say it." I smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, are you admiring the concubine, or are you criticizing the concubine?" "Of course I appreciate it." He blurted out. "But can the concubine really do it? The concubine can't. Maybe the concubine knows a lot, understands a lot, but just understands. I ask myself that I can't penetrate people's hearts. At most, I only know some superficial things. Because many people even their own I can’t even understand it in my heart, so how can I let others understand it?” There was a trace of helplessness in my tone, I felt that I couldn’t get rid of it, how could I penetrate others, how could I know others.I can't understand Chuyu thoroughly, nor can I understand Chunyi clearly, nor can I understand Chunzhen deeply.There are also many women in the harem, I can't really understand. Chunyi smiled: "It is very rare to be able to know so much. If you have a thorough understanding of human affairs, it will be meaningless. Mei'er never takes the initiative to guess anything, I like you so casually. Even if it is for me, You can do the same." "If it is true, the concubine will not be like this." "in this way?" "Well, so." We looked at each other and smiled. Chunyi hugged me and asked in a low voice, "Meier, tell me about tomorrow, what will happen tomorrow?" I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just now, my concubine was also asking what will happen tomorrow, and the emperor came. The concubine thinks that tomorrow will be warm and sunny, and the sky will be clear after the snow, which will wake up all sleeping things. How much more will I freeze?" Thick ice will melt one day, and the snow will melt very quickly. Just like the political affairs handled by the emperor, but the accumulation has been deeper in recent months, and the time is still relatively shallow, so it can still be dealt with. Handy." Chunyi happily kissed my forehead, and said with a smile: "Meiqing said auspiciously, that those ices will be melted smoothly, and Daqi will be restored to me." I nodded and agreed: "It will definitely be possible, I believe in the emperor." Chun Yi hugged my waist tightly, and said softly: "As long as Meier is with me, no matter how much ice there is, I won't be afraid." I leaned against him and murmured: "The concubine has always been with the emperor and will not leave." I didn't have to never leave, nor did I say forever, I couldn't bear such a heavy word in my heart, I just wanted to cuddle lightly. The snowflakes are still flying, as if they are going to bloom with all their passion, but I firmly believe that there will be sunshine tomorrow, tomorrow.
