Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Golden Wind and Jade Dew (Part 2)

My mood calmed down a little, and when I looked up and saw his concerned eyes, my heart suddenly relaxed, and my whole body was relieved. However, I still have someone I care about, so I asked: "Then..." He knew my intentions, and said with a smile: "Concubine Jing is very good, and so is Obscure Moon. Concubine Jing treats Obscure Moon as her own, and Obscure Moon is also very attached to her, and the bond between mother and daughter is very deep." I was very comforted in my heart, and I didn't feel the wine dimples rounded up, "That's very good, I am very relieved to have Concubine Jing's love and care."

Xuanqing said: "Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan are currently in charge of the Six Palaces. Concubine Jing is calm and sensible. Concubine Jing can't leave her for almost a moment. And..." He deliberately accentuated the words, "Luoyue is the emperor, not the concubine. Prince, and so young." I nodded, my heart was so agitated that it was hard to say, two lines of tears slowly fell from my eyes, and slid to the corner of my mouth, I didn't feel bitter, only sweet.Xuan Qing has already made it very clear that Obscure Moon is the Di Ji and will never threaten anyone's status, and Concubine Jing has the right to assist the Six Palaces, and others dare not easily touch her.Besides, Concubine Jing regards Ozuyue as her own, and always keeps her by her side, which shows that Concubine Jing is determined to protect her with all her strength.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Then her father..." "Very good." His eyes are gentle and understanding, like the brilliance of the bright moon, which makes people feel at ease, "with the word Wanwan, the imperial brother and the queen mother naturally regard her as the apple of their eye, not to mention the obscuring moon itself is very flattering." like." My tears finally came out of my eyes, he gently wiped away the tears for me, my tears also penetrated into the fine texture of the skin between his fingers softly, he said: "Everyone is fine, you just need to love yourself."

I threw myself into his arms, nodded lightly but firmly, choked up and said, "Yes. I want to take good care of myself because of you, and also because of everyone who makes me care about and love me." I looked up at him and said in a low voice: "Qing, thank you. You always bring me news about Ozuki. As a mother, I owe her too much." Qing's gestures were quiet and tender, and she said softly: "You have planned too much for her. She will live well in the palace. As a mother, you have done your best." The vast river is endless. He and I went boating on the river, stopped the oars, and let the boat float on its own.The bells of Ganlu Temple echoed in the distant sky, so far away, the Sanskrit sound entered the ears, and it became a lingering sound, lingering like silk.The sky is vast and endless, and the sky is full of countless stars pouring into the river, bright as diamonds, green water plants swaying in the water, there is a lush and vigorous breath of the river, the paddles stop and the boat stops, like boating between the bright Milky Way, the distance is endless.He held my hand firmly, and I lay quietly on his lap.Because it is a practice with hair, the long hair is scattered casually, without any makeup.His simple clothes have the soft and fitting texture of worn materials, and they stick tightly to my skin.

It's just so quiet and relative. His voice is like a wind chime between the eaves in March, the wind rings softly, soft and pleasant.The hair was blown into my eyes by the wind, and I pushed it away time and time again.He laughed softly: "Su Xi doesn't comb his hair, and the silk hair is covered by his shoulders." I lazily turned my head to one side, and said mildly, "Wan Shenlang is on his lap, where is he not pitiful?" I looked up at him and let out a chuckle.His chin has a freshly scraped green color, like the gleam of morning light before sunrise. He smiled brightly and cheerfully. He held me in his arms, and his fingers sympathetically passed through my slightly shiny blue hair like flowing waves, and said: "No wonder women in the world cherish their hair so much. A head full of blue hair is also full of emotions. head."

I got naughty for a moment, and pulled a hair on his forehead with all my strength.Suddenly, he let out an "ouch", frowned in pain, and said, "What?" I smiled at it, and said: "Didn't you just say that a head full of blue hair is also full of emotions? Qinglang has so many hairs, I will help you pull out some troubles and thoughts, so that you will worry less, isn't it good?" He laughed loudly and pinched my nose with two fingers.The small boat was too small, and I had nowhere to hide, so he had to pinch my nose to finish. He said: "Who said that I am emotionally troubled. You just pulled out all my hair, and I will treat you the same."

I spat lightly and said, "I'm not ashamed." Before I finished speaking, I laughed and fell into his arms.In his arms, there is always such a clean and fragrant breath, like Du Ruo's freshness. He untied the gauze bag tied around his waist, released the fireflies in the bag one by one and held them in my palm, and asked, "Do you like it?" The beautiful fireflies exude a cool bluish light, like cold stars.I was pleasantly surprised: "The sky is already full of stars, I dare not be more greedy." The sound of running water is gurgling, as gentle as a lover's whisper.I watched greedily, but finally couldn't bear it, so I let go of my hand and released all the fireflies, watching them flying around me.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I reached into his arms, and the little Jinying fell firmly in the palm of my hand.The weaving method of lock-embroidered yarn, silver tassels, and tortoiseshell beads have a soft luster under the moonlight. Presumably because he has kept it intact all these years, Jinying doesn't look old at all.I opened it carefully, and said, "It's an old thing, do you still keep it close to your body like this?" He looked at Jinying softly and earnestly, and said: "Although it is an old thing, if I didn't have it by my side these years, I'm afraid my heart would not be so peaceful." There are a few pieces of Du Ruo's hair in Jinying as usual. The petals, the dried flowers still have a sweet fragrance, and my little statue is quietly placed in the fragrance. He said softly: "The people in the mountains are fragrant, and only flowers like Du Ruo can match your little statue." .”

I lightly stroked the small red portrait with my fingers, and there was a hint of lingering between my fingers, and I said, "This is what I used to be." I personally cut this small portrait for me on the New Year's Eve of the year I first entered the palace, as a blessing.His handwork is excellent and the cut is lifelike. I thought of something, and I couldn't help being curious: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you, but I always forgot—how did you get this little statue." I thought about it, "I met you in Yimeiyuan that day. The person, not you."

He nodded, "Of course it wasn't me." He told me slowly, "Brother Huang left the banquet to relax and walked to the Plum Garden to meet you. I didn't know. I just saw him leave with drunkenness. I also heard that I went to Yimei Garden, so I was worried, so I rushed over with Li Chang to have a look." His voice was slightly lower, "The plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are the best in the palace. When the queen enters the palace, she is most cherished by the emperor's brother. The precious plum blossoms in the Yimei Garden were all planted by the emperor himself with Empress Chunyuan for her to enjoy in winter. That's why I heard that the emperor's brother left the banquet halfway When I went to Yimei Garden, I didn’t feel at ease to go there myself.”

I lowered my head slightly and sighed, "All these antecedents all started from Empress Chunyuan." I smiled wryly, "It turns out that from the very beginning, I have never escaped her shadow." He gently comforted: "Actually, you and her are not very similar." I nodded, "Just talk." "By the time we arrived at Yimei Garden, the emperor's brother had already come out, and he only ordered Li Zhang to find a maid in Yimei Garden as soon as possible, so I knew something must have happened. Li Chang helped the emperor to go away, and went into Yimei Garden to have a look. I remembered that the emperor said that the maid had talked to him through the flower tree, so I went to the most blooming flowers and the deepest footprints under the snow. Looking for it, I found your little portrait hanging on a tree branch, and I thought it should be left by the maid." I covered my lips and smiled lightly, "How do you know that the maid, the later Mrs. Miaoyin Yu, is not the person on the miniature. Have you ever seen Mrs. Miaoyin?" "I've seen it," he chuckled, "As soon as I saw her, I knew she wasn't the person the emperor was looking for." "Although the small portrait is cut lifelike, it is not a living person after all, and it is not possible to tell who it is at a glance." He nodded, "Naturally, I didn't know she wasn't you just because of the portrait." His eyebrows raised slightly, quite proudly, "Do you know how I knew?" I deliberately ignored him, "Speak as you like, and if you don't like to talk, I don't want to listen." He laughed, "Because of the footprints. The footprints I saw on the snow that day were much smaller than the feet of Mrs. Miaoyin. And the emperor once told me that the court lady who talked to him knew some poetry Wen. And Mrs. Miaoyin was born as a court lady who planted flowers, so she doesn't seem like someone who can say the words "Against the wind is like a solution, and it is easy not to destroy it". Since it is not her, I made up my mind and hid this small statue." "Why hide?" "Ms. Miaoyin competed for favor everywhere afterwards, which further confirmed my guess. If she is really the court lady who talked to the emperor that night, since she wanted to avoid it, how could she always cause trouble after becoming the emperor's concubine. It can be seen that she is definitely not the same person " He laughed: "Since the maid who talked to the emperor claimed to be a maid from Yimei Garden, although she may not be, she must be a woman from this palace. Naturally, she knew about Mrs. Miaoyin's impostor, but she kept silent. I thought it was interesting, it would be a pity if you just treat the emperor's favor as nothing, regard the imperial power and wealth as floating clouds, and are good at interpreting poetry and prose." I couldn't help laughing and said: "I understand, you intend to hide her and become your concubine Ji." There was a deep smile rippling in Qing's eyes, and he said: "I don't think so. I just think that if possible, I can be a confidant with her and sing poetry. If she is reduced to working hard in the palace, or One day I followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Miaoyin, and had to compete with a woman like her for favor and concubine Hua, that day was really hard. I always feel that such a woman should not be buried in the palace." I smiled bitterly, turned my head away in panic and said, "Unfortunately, no matter how I tried to escape, I couldn't escape my own life after all." Looking back on the past, he said calmly: "That's why you lost your son and fell out of favor that day, and you were left out in the cold. But that day I saw you wearing plain clothes appearing in the plum garden to pray for the emperor's blessing. In my heart, Brother Huang, I don't care about it." I smiled indifferently, "I always thought it was because he was moved by my heart that time, but I didn't know that it was because of Empress Chunyuan." He said: "You are willing to turn around to please him, brother Huang is naturally happy. Although there is a little scheming, but in his eyes, it will only be pitiful and cute, and you have chosen to be in Yimeiyuan by mistake. So you The subsequent favor is already obvious." I lowered my head and said slowly, "I actually don't know the reason for leaning on the plum garden." I smiled coldly, then turned my head and said, "So from the beginning, it was because of her." He nodded, "I know. It's just that it doesn't matter now, it doesn't matter anymore." Xuan Qing's expression gradually became a little sad, like the evening face of a petal wetted by the wet night dew, more like the thin and curved moonlight on the horizon , as cold as autumn frost, "I saw you washing your feet by the spring in the Taiping Palace for the first time, and when I heard you read the sentence 'If life is just like the first time I saw it, what is the west wind and the sad painting fan', I knew it, you It must be the woman on the small portrait. Although the small portrait is not a real person, I really have the feeling that it must be you. It's a pity... When I first saw you, you were already the most favored Zhen Wanyi by the emperor's side .” Zhen Wanyi, indeed.In the Taiping Palace that year, I was the most favored little master Wanyi. I tried my best not to think about the past incidents related to Xuan Ling that made me unhappy, so I just smiled and said: "You were so reckless back then, you didn't avoid me when you saw me barefoot, and you dared to ask me my boudoir name, you really are a libertine." He held my hand and said with a shy smile: "I was really reckless that day, but I have never seen a woman singing barefoot in the palace. I just want to know your name, so although I know No, I still asked the exit." I smiled and shamed him, scraped his face with my fingers and said: "A woman's bare feet are the most precious, and she can only be seen by her husband during the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but you are looking at it for nothing. The name is also from the husband's family." Dali, how can you ask?!" He laughed and put his arms around my shoulders, and said: "Thinking about it, it's true. It can be seen that the fate between you and me has been determined early, otherwise how could I ask such a question, and how could you be by my side today." I was so ashamed that I spat: "How do I know such a person? It's just bad luck." He didn't answer, just said: "I wanted to return the little statue to the maid when I found her, but from the moment I saw you, I knew that I would never give up this little statue again." Ken is out." I understood his intentions, and said in a low voice: "I know, because I am the emperor's man, so the only thing you can keep is this small portrait." "During those days when I could only look at you from afar, all I could keep was this small portrait." He nodded, and there was obvious joy and joy in the sadness like a floating cloud, "I always thought that in this life , the only thing that can be kept is the small portrait." My hand stayed in his palm, silently feeling the warmth from his palm, and said softly: "No." He said "um", and I said: "When I was in the palace, I regarded you as a bosom friend .It's just that I'm afraid of my own heart." "So, are you still afraid?" His shoulders are solid and steady, I leaned on him, heard his heartbeat deep in my ears, and said firmly: "As long as you are here, I will not be afraid of anything." His gaze has the power to calm people, I can clearly see my own figure in his eyes, no matter how bright the sky is full of stars, it is not as bright as the persistent light in his eyes. Fireflies are flying around, shining brightly like shooting stars.I tilted my head slightly, his warm and clean breath wrapped around his kisses and covered it all over.
