Chapter 129 confidant of the middle of Yueyang Palace

The days will not stop passing because of my darkness. This seemingly long time is actually just a passing cloud, and it doesn't need much time to pass away. Everything came too fast, except that I was prepared for this summer, and the rest, those things that I didn't ask in my heart, have answers in a hurry.When everything settled down, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Chunyi told me that the day for the painting fan to enter the palace had been fixed, and I felt like I was in a dream. The fifth day of May in the third year of Xuanqian, Duanyang Festival, is also the day when painting fans enter the palace.

On this day, I thought of the prosperous scenery of Jinling City and the Chuchuan River in previous years, Liuyinhuawu, so many Li people, using various noisy ways to honor their ancestors, and the Chuchuan River with hundreds of boats and thousands of sails, galloping magnificently The picture scroll makes people enjoy the peace and prosperity.The poet named Qu Zi praised the river flowing eastward, and his heroic soul often reincarnated with the sun and the moon.On this day, Jinling City can see the wormwood hanging high on the eaves of the people's houses, the fragrance of rice dumplings floating in the long alleys of black clothes, and the realgar shochu in the wine shops in the street, not only to commemorate the passionate loyal soul, It also expresses the smooth weather in the prosperous age, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Early in the morning, everyone in Yueyang Palace was well prepared, just waiting for Huafan to arrive. They knew that my relationship with Huafan was extraordinary, and Huafan's arrival would naturally be their master, so they dared not neglect. I don't know what kind of feeling is in Huafan's heart at this time. When I entered the palace, I only thought that once I entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and it was impossible to escape.I don't know whether it's right or wrong for what I've done. Since things are like this, whether it's right or wrong, it's all over.

I asked Hong Jian to change into a more plain dress for me. Seeing the painting fan, I don’t want to be too eye-catching, but I know that she must be extremely bright today. She wears the most beautiful clothes on weekdays. This is her On the first day of entering the palace, one must dress extra. Because the painting fan entered the palace in the name of my sister, I specifically begged Chunyi not to be extravagant, and only let her come quietly. On the one hand, I am blind, and I cannot properly receive him; on the other hand, extravagance will cause trouble. Concubine Yun and Concubine Xu Gui entered the cold palace because of the gossip of those concubines in the harem, but I gained power and brought my sisters into the palace.

Hong Jian helped me to Meiyun Hall and waited for Huafan's arrival. After about an hour, I heard Xiao Xingzi hurriedly reported: "Madam, Huafan girl has arrived at the gate of Yueyang Palace." "Hurry up to welcome you." I said happily, holding Hong Jian's hand tightly, and smiling at her. After a while, I heard thin footsteps coming slowly from the courtyard to the main hall, and there was a sound of Yingying clanging. I imagined that the painting fan was surrounded by the maids and eunuchs of Yueyang Palace. "My maidservant sees Empress Zhaoyi, and may Empress Zhaoyi have a long life and peace." It was the voice of the fan, so familiar, she was saluting me, only in front of me, so close.

"Sister, please get up quickly." I stood up quickly, stretched out my hands, and immediately clenched the hand of the painting fan with me. She helped me sit down and stood beside me. "My sister is tired all the way, it's better to sit beside me." I held on to her hand and motioned for her to do it. "Sister..." Her words were choked with sobs, maybe it was because of the sadness in her heart when she saw me blind for a while. I smiled: "Sister, it really doesn't matter, it's been a while, I'm used to it, and I'm very happy to see my sister coming, so you don't have to be sad."

"Okay, now I'm entering the palace just to accompany my sister and tide over the difficulties together, looking forward to your early recovery." The two of us sat under the Meiyun Hall for a while, had some refreshments, and then went back to the Nuan Pavilion to chat and rest. In the Qiushui Pavilion, I sat on the chair with the painting fan, holding my hands tightly, with the joy of reuniting after a long absence, and the infinite emotion of entering the palace together now. I whispered: "Sister, I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, but I did it anyway, maybe it's too late, I should have found a chance to let you come when I first entered the palace, but..." My words choked up, and for a while, I didn't know how to tell her the contradiction in my heart.

She held my hand tightly and sighed softly: "Sister, I understand everything, I understand everything, you don't need to say anything more. Whether it is right or wrong, I will come. I can't ignore my sister when she is blind. Besides, it’s the same everywhere in this world, I can adapt to it, no matter what happens in the future, my sister doesn’t have to be surprised, let alone feel guilty, because I’ve never regretted the journey I’ve taken.” Painting a fan, a few words made my heart feel a lot better. She is as calm and free as before, and life has worn away her edges and corners, making her more and more gentle and peaceful.

I smiled lightly: "I have never regretted the road I have traveled. If I miss it, I will never do it again. It seems that sister, we still have many similarities, but my temperament is not as calm as yours." "You're wrong. I'm stuck in the depths of the world, which is called vulgarity, but my sister is really calm. Although I can see through many things, I will still fight, while my sister can see through, but she refuses to fight." , This is the difference between you and me. I may not force what does not belong to me, but I must fight for what belongs to me." The familiar painting fan was in front of my eyes again, and I could almost imagine her saying The expression on the words, although the words are firm, but the expression must still be so graceful, gentle and easy-going.

I nodded slightly: "Sister, you can live in my Yueyang Palace with peace of mind first, and everything in the future will follow the fate. We are not the kind of people who like to calculate, and the things that are calculated by the tricks are often in vain in the end. It is better to be indifferent and follow the fate." , what belongs to me will surely come.” "Sister, I know, you don't need to worry about me. Although I admire Qingyun, I never force it. What's more, my sister is blind now, and I don't have the heart to worry about myself. After so many years, how can I be so in the future?" How much do you care about it? In Yingxue Tower for so many years, even though she has become a singing girl, every year she is an oiran, and she also wins all the flowers, flowers, willows and greens. Of course, it can't be compared with the harem, and it also has a different charm. Sister, what do you think?" Hua Fan In a few simple words, she expressed her thoughts, so frank and clear, I really admire her.

After being silent for a while, I casually picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and asked slightly: "Sister, these days, you are outside the palace, do you have any news about Chu Yu?" "Chu Yu? Is my sister talking about Chu Xianmo?" Hua Fan was surprised at first, but then asked me in a low voice. I nodded slightly: "Yes, it's him." "There has never been any news about him. Since that snowy night, I have never seen him again, and the name Chu Xianmo has disappeared from the world for a long time, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with him. He is a legendary figure. Comes and goes like the wind, so everyone doesn’t feel bad, and can accept it calmly.” The painting fan stopped for a while, and then asked: “What? Is my sister looking for him?” "No, I won't look for him. It's also because I haven't heard from him for a long time. I'm closed in the palace. My sister has a lot of experience outside the palace, so I thought of asking." I denied the reason why I wanted to ask Chuyu. I didn't want to tell him. Painting fan, although I didn't look for him, I was waiting for his appearance, because only he can save my eyes. "Sister, you don't need to worry about anything right now. You don't need to think about it. You just wait for your eyes to be cured. Apart from this, nothing else matters. I am new to the palace, and I am not familiar with everything, but there are some things that can still be done." Helping my younger sister to come up with a solution together is better than being alone and helpless, although the emperor loves you, he can't bother him with everything." Huashan said sincerely, every word and every word is ironic to my heart. I nodded slightly: "Sister, you are tired all the way, rest for a while. A few days ago, I ordered someone to tidy up the East side hall for you. I will ask Hong Jian to take you there." With Chunyi's consent, I placed the painting fan in the east The supporting hall, the East and West supporting halls on both sides of the main hall were originally occupied by other concubines, but in order to keep me clean, Chunyi originally owned the Yueyang Palace by myself.Now with the arrival of the painting fan, she is allowed to live in the East Side Hall. Although she does not live as a concubine and young master, the relationship is also extraordinary. "Okay, then I'll take my leave first, tidy up, and see you later." After speaking, the painting fan left gently with the red note. At lunch time, because of the painting fan's arrival, I ordered Qiuxi to send someone to summon Wufei, Xie Ronghua and Gu Wanyi, because they had a relationship with the painting fan at Cuimei Temple that day, and now they are in the palace. It can be regarded as an old friend. Everyone gathered around the table lively, and I ordered Qiuxi to take out the white jade wine glass and bring a few bottles of high-quality Zhuyeqing, and we all drank and ate vegetables together.When we were at Miyue Ferry, Huashan and I tasted Zhuyeqing in this way, and later I tasted it with Wufei and the others. Hearing the sound of pouring wine, the fragrance of green bamboo leaves wafted to the nostrils. I hadn't drank for a long time, so I felt slanderous. "Only in Sister Mei's place can there be such elegance. Although I know that to taste bamboo leaf green, I have to use white jade cups, which will have a different effect of clear and emerald green, but I have never tried this in Lingque Palace." Xie Ronghua finished with us. One cup, murmured. "It's the same for me. I'm not so excited when I return to Pianran Palace. This Zhuyeqing is not so happy without sister Mei." Concubine Wu also laughed. "I've always thought so. No matter what the future holds, Sister Mei will always be so elegant and vulgar in my heart." Gu Wanyi sat on my left side and gently held my hand. "It's been a few years, but if you don't taste the green bamboo leaves, look at the cup, it's so green, it seems like you're back in the past." Hua Fan said with emotion. I sighed softly: "I can only smell the fragrance of emerald green, but I can't see that cup of clear green." Xie Ronghua hurriedly changed the subject, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Today is the first day for the fan girl to enter the palace, everyone should be happy." "It's time to be happy. I couldn't be happier to get rid of the black-hearted person and usher in Huashan Sister again." Concubine Wu smiled and reminded Concubine Yun and Xu Guibin that they were in Shuangli at the moment. Yuan was punished, in fact, I really don't want to bring it up, but it's just inconvenient to say anything. He only smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, let's have a few drinks to our heart's content." He raised his glass and drank with a smile, the fresh and cold aroma of the wine mellowed into his heart. After lunch and chatting a few times, they left together, leaving only me and Huafan in Yueyang Palace. Sitting quietly, Hua Fan said softly: "Sister, did Concubine Yun really fall into the cold palace?" I nodded: "Yes, I didn't use any tricks. It's just that the incident was revealed and the emperor was furious, so he locked her in, and Xu Guifei who was with her went with her." "It's your own fault, you can't blame others." Hua Fan squeezed out these few words, it's your own fault, I also heard this word in Chunyi, it seems that Concubine Yun really has her own fault, and I can't blame me. Afterwards, I started with the death of Ruyi who was next to Concubine Wu, and later related to the matter of me falling on the swing. What the concubine did, and the emperor was extremely angry when he heard about it, so he put them in the cold palace.In the end, Huashan got an answer that was consistent with mine, that is, Concubine Yun is not the only one behind it, there must be someone else, and this person has hidden himself very deeply, and has a great relationship with my poisoning incident. associated. "Sister, we don't need to worry about finding out who this person is now. After a long time, she will still take action, so we will just wait and see." Hua Fan said confidently. I nodded and said: "Okay, now that my sister is here, I have more people to discuss with, and I will wait and see what happens in the future. In fact, these things are very common in the harem. They only hurt myself and the people around me. You have to guard against it." "For some reason, I always feel that my coming to the palace will bring even greater waves to the harem. I don't know if I overestimated myself, or if I was really doomed." Hua Fan said slightly. "Sister, don't think too much, do whatever you want." I comforted in a low voice. There are already cicadas chirping on the branches. Although there is a cool breeze, it is mixed with a little heat in summer. I tell myself that no matter what, the arrival of the painting fan will make me feel more at ease.How long will this summer be?
