Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

April in the mountains is naturally pink and willow green, with infinite fragrance. Seeing the picturesque sky and clouds outside the house, I couldn't help laughing and said: "It's a pity to stay in the room with such a beautiful view." Then I asked: "Why don't you see Jinxi?" Huanbi smiled and said: "Miss, have you forgotten? Jinxi went out to pick some shepherd's purse, and said she was going to make wontons of shepherd's purse for dinner. I want some flour. It's fine for Miss to sit around, why don't you just go out and relax?" .”

I brushed my hair, got up and said, "That's fine. Flowers are blooming outside, so I'll pick some and put them in the vase." Huanbi Yingying said: "Exactly. The flowers bloom so well outside the house, it seems that our house is too deserted." So I went out.The splendor of spring is like a picture, as if the bright clouds condense the sky and the ground, brilliant and prosperous to the extreme.The flowers in the palace have always been pruned by skillful gardeners to conform to the etiquette and man-made postures, and the beauty is beautiful, after all, they have lost their natural postures.

And the flowers in the mountains, the branches and leaves are beautiful, stretching naturally, even a weed flower, vine leaves, are full of vitality, the world is infinitely free, even the occasional wind blows, it is a sweet and wanton wild smell . Looking from a distance, the plains and deserts below the mountain are full of green rice fields and golden rapeseed flowers, either green or yellow interlaced, like a large piece of colorful brocade curtains, stretching endlessly. The growth is so good, I smile, thinking it will be another bumper year. I walked on the path at will, or picked a few branches of wild cherry blossoms with white flowers, or picked a few small February blue flowers, or picked a slender green kite, and walked slowly while holding them in my arms. Pleasure suddenly enlightened.

At this time, the spring is just right, and the boundless spring is rushing to the body, it is like the season of stepping on the flowers and returning to the horseshoe fragrance, and the random flowers in the grass beside the road are gradually charming the eyes.A few warblers and swallows just flew over the eyebrows, or they were fighting for the warm tree, or they were holding the spring mud, and they flew away lightly.I couldn't bear to look at it for a while, lingering and looking back at the spring, even the ruthless green mountains and green waters felt like affectionate eyebrows and eyes, full of desire.

I walked freely, seeing that the other end of the sky was gradually turning red, the light was shrinking, and occasionally a few wisps of cooking smoke would rise up, and even my mood became open and peaceful, but I knew it was getting late, so I walked back slowly with a bouquet of flowers in my hand. When she returned to the meditation room, Jinxi had already returned, and she and Huanbi were busy by the stove.Their words came together with the warm and dry fragrance of broken wood that is unique to the stove and the unique sweetness of shepherd's purse, and they said with a smile: "My lady is coming back late, the prince has just been here."

I was slightly surprised, but also a little disappointed and said, "Why did you come here so suddenly?" Jinxi smiled and said: "Yes. I came in a hurry, and I went back in a hurry. It seems that I came here after finding a reason. At this time, I should go to the Anqi Temple of the concubine first." I said "oh", knowing that I missed it, I felt a little sad, and I didn't want them to see my displeasure, so I just found a bottle, arranged the flowers one by one, put them in, and raised them with clean water, Fang said : "Did the prince come and say something?"

Huanbi said: "When the lord came here, he asked the lady where she had gone. I said that she had gone to enjoy the spring. I wanted to go out to find it. But the lord said that the mountain is so big that I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while. And the lady went to enjoy the spring. Chun, I found it like this, I am afraid that the good interest in appreciating the spring will be gone. Later, the prince waited for a while, and Ah Jin came to remind him, so he had to leave. He didn't say anything, only wrote a few words and left it in the It's on the table, the young lady will know it when she sees it."

I didn't see him, but I knew he was waiting for me, so I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. It's not easy for him to come here. If I miss him like this, I don't know when the next time we will meet.A memo is nothing more than nothing. So I reached out and took a look.On the snow-white plain heart note, there are only a few words: It seems that there is a meandering spring water winding up to nourish the heart, and the whole heart is moistened and softened like this, and the most tender and bright Sanchun petals are born. He knows that it is very easy to find me in this mountain to enjoy the flowers, as long as he goes to the place where the flowers are flourishing, he can find him.

But he would rather wait here quietly than interrupt my joyful mood of admiring the flowers and spring. He is willing to wait like this, waiting for me to return early. His delicate heart, his plain and warm feelings, almost brought tears to my eyes. His love for me was so generous and patient. The flowers bloom on the rice paddies in the field, you can look at the flowers slowly without rushing back.Such words seemed to be whispering in my ear. The flowers on Moshang are in full bloom, and he is quietly waiting for me at the other end of the flowers. While waiting like this, there is a touch of lovesickness, a touch of anticipation, and a touch of loneliness.Just for me who is about to return from roaming.

Seeing my expression, Huanbi hurried forward and asked, "What's the matter, Miss?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "Nothing. Where is the prince's pigeon last time?" Huanbi said: "I'm eating millet outside, I'll bring it in." Then he turned around and brought the pigeon in. The snow-white pigeon still called "coo-coo".I took up a pen and wrote another one, writing: My mind was agitated, and I felt that this was not enough, so I wrote a few lines of small characters on the reverse side: "The mountain is Lang Meifeng, and the water is the wave of the king's eyes. If you want to ask Yiren where to go, you will always be in the eyes of Lang Jun. If you miss it this time, the next day When I meet you, I don’t know if it’s in a place full of flowers.”

After finishing writing, he smiled affectionately, carefully rolled it up and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's left foot, and smiled at Huanbi: "This pigeon must know the way to fly back." Huanbi laughed and said, "Ah Jin spent a lot of effort to teach it, so he must not be too stupid." I carried the pigeon outside the door, but saw the mountains looming behind the setting sun, and the dusk was getting darker. I raised my hand and let the pigeon out, like a heart, and it flew out. The next day, when the weather was sunny and windy, Xuan Qing's clothes were stained with the smell of spring flowers, and suddenly appeared in front of me. I was surprised and only smiled, "Why did you come here suddenly?" He was full of smiles, clung to my hand and said: "When I received your letter from Feige, I thought about it all night and couldn't figure out how to answer your letter, so I had to come in person." His eyebrows and eyes were refreshed , "It's a pity that you and I never met in the place where the flowers are blooming." What's the big deal, he came here with a lot of flowers. At that time, an old peach tree in the atrium was in full bloom, and the flowers were as brilliant as the clouds and the clouds. The wind blew past and the pink flowers filled the sky with golden sunshine. Under the window of the meditation room, he solemnly took out something from his sleeve. The thinly carved mandarin ducks form a pair of red paper, surrounded by a pattern of phoenixes connected end to end, which means reunion with white heads and phoenix flying.The background of the dark pattern of the double lotus, the clusters of flowers, is the meaning of many children, many blessings, and continuous love. Marriage Geng post. Xuanqing held my hand with his left hand, and wrote on the red paper stroke by stroke with his right hand: Xuan Qing Zhen Huan Lifetime covenant, forever knot. It seems to be engraved on paper, and the force of the pen seems to penetrate the back of the paper.Every word can be seen so clearly, but it seems that he didn't see clearly, his body is soft.My heart was agitated, like when my father took me to watch the tide when I was very young, the Qiantang tide was surging like ten thousand horses galloping, I couldn't tell the shock of joy, tears came out of my eyes, and there was a faint sadness in my heart. I covered his hand and said with tears: "I am the one abandoned by your emperor brother, and also a criminal woman. The future is unknown, why do you need to do this?" Xuanqing took me into his arms, the sleeves of the crimson gauze single robe slowly wiped my Buddhist robe and hanging hair, my tears fell on his robe, and were suddenly sucked away without a trace, I only felt a touch of heat , more like the temperature of his skin through the fabric. "Even if the future is uncertain, this is my most sincere heart." His words were choked with sobs: "Huan'er, in this world, I only want you." I laughed silently, put my hands on his neck, and looked at my figure in his eyes.Xuan Qing also remained silent, his eyes were fixed on my face, his pupils were as black as deep pools, bottomless, only my figure was radiating warmth, he just hugged me tightly in his arms.Outside the meditation room are peach blossoms blooming like clouds and brocades, pink and fragrant, condensed clouds and brocades, and spring is as deep as the sea.My face was pressed against his shoulder blades, and his arms were getting stronger and stronger, hugging me so tightly that the bones in his chest were squeezed one by one and hurting, as if we could never be together like this again in this life , In the midst of pain, I still feel joy. So joyful, the sky and the ground are full of the mud-gold pair of mandarin ducks... Necked together... Live up to the spring... Red lotus with double stalks... The petals are complicated, falling off layer by layer... Snow-white pistils, white like sheep Zhiyu's body... the copper curtain fell from the hook, and the bed curtain of white silk ink calligraphy and painting was blown up slightly by the wind... the phoenix was flying, fluffing its feathers. The pink peach blossoms were blown down by the spring breeze, one after another like a violent flower rain... The slender and white toes stretched out straight, almost unable to withstand the spring warmth in the tent, blooming like a spring breeze carrying Countless slightly trembling willow branches... The man's heavy and fragrant breathing... I looked up and saw the white jade Guanyin statue on the table, and I lowered my eyes, and neither did she... The Ganan wood prayer beads on the bedside were as dead as a snake As soon as I closed my eyes, I waved it off the bed, and the bones scattered all over the floor. ... I tiptoed to tidy up my clothes, Xuanqing closed his eyes lightly, breathed evenly, as if he was still in deep sleep, sleeping peacefully.I sat in front of the dressing table and opened the brocade multi-compartment dressing box that had been dusty for a long time. The glittering pearls, emeralds and jade tins had been placed by me for so long. It's not dazzling anymore.Everything in the box was my dowry when I entered the palace, and I brought it all out again.There are countless treasures and jewelry bestowed by Xuan Lingshuo in the palace for many years, all of which were left in the palace, even the golden rose hairpin that has always been loved was placed on the dressing table of Tangli Palace, shining golden and cold alone. luster. I will give up everything I can with Xuan Ling. Dressing up slowly and drawing meticulously, it has been a long time since I have put so much effort into it.Comb a simple and refreshing half-updo, the hair is fluffy like a cloud of green silk and pulled back, carefully tied up one by one, showing a half-updo with double buns hugging the face and vertebrae on the top of the head.An emerald seven-gold hairpin was slanted, with a strand of silver tassel hanging down thinly, and a bead hanging down, rustling on the temples, sliding smoothly and sliding back.A row of twelve light pink pearls, the size of a little finger, are arranged in the shape of a crescent and placed in the hair bun.There was a bunch of purple orchids on the window sill, which was fragrant and clear. My heart moved slightly, and I picked two or three bunches at random, and put them on the side of the bun. Open the gold-painted and painted dressing box, take out the rouge and gouache, make peach blossom makeup, and apply lip gloss.Under the lightly trimmed and gathered temples, the coral-colored blush stained the jade cheeks, like the dawn of dawn.Then draw the eyebrows with smoke, the color of Daisy hidden in the distant mountains, the eyes as bright as stars, the eyebrows are full, and the infinite affection flows in an instant.I can't help but sigh in my heart, all the decay and withering in the past have finally dissipated, and the person in the mirror is like a newborn, with a calm face and dimples from a smile. Choose a light purple embroidered Luo jacket, embroidered with light goose yellow flowers and leaves, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, delicate and lingering.Wearing a "half-sleeve" of jade-colored light smoke veil embroidered with peach leaves, and a moon-white soft satin pleated skirt, twirling lightly in the warm wind. Such a refreshing color, even the heart will be refreshing and quiet. I walked to the table, soaked up the ink softly with the brush, and continued after Xuanqing's words, "May the Qin and Se be in the palace, and the years will be quiet." As if in a dream, Xuanqing and I finally have today, There is even today.It can be regarded as living up to this life. A gentle voice called me: "Huan'er?" I turned around Yingying, and he said with surprise: "What's your makeup?" I looked at him with a smile, and there was a touch of infinite tenderness in my heart, "I used to go out of the palace to become a monk, and the last time I went to Beijing to dress up as an ordinary woman, it was just for convenience and expediency. Today, because of you, I redressed and re-entered the world. I bowed my head, lowly and shyly, "Actually, because of you, my heart has always been in this world." There was a sparkle in his eyes for a moment, and the hug came close to him soundlessly. I leaned on his arm, immersed in a vast ocean of happiness and joy.I hugged his arm, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You have tattoos on your arm, don't you?" The corners of his lips raised, with a wicked smile, he softly whispered in my ear: "Didn't you see it just now?" I blushed and just rolled up his sleeves.The tattoo on the right arm is exactly an iron chain, covered with tangled green vines and red bloodstains, the colors contrast brightly and are very eye-catching.Another pattern of a long sword stretches under it, and the tattoo technique is exquisite, as if there is a sharp sword energy faintly piercing it. Gently stroking my white fingertips, I asked, "Does it hurt when you stab it?" "It hurts," he smiled, "but just bear with it and it will be fine." I kissed his tattoo with my lips, and said vaguely: "Why do you want to tattoo such a pattern, does it have a special meaning?" "My body is full of the blood of the Baiyi tribe. Men of the Baiyi tribe have to get tattoos like this when they grow up." "Then... the Queen Mother doesn't object?" After all, the Queen Mother is Xuan Qing's adoptive mother. He smiled lightly, with a touch of elusive worry in his smile, and wrote lightly: "I am just an idle clan, and I am the most comfortable." He put down his sleeves, and his eyes fell on the red note on the table, "What was written?" Xuan Qing wrapped his arms around my waist, holding the red note with one hand to read.The gentle breath, bit by bit warm, brushed behind the ears and in the neck, causing a numb itching.His tone was as firm as a rock, and every word echoed in his ears: "Huan'er, I will definitely do what you wish." I looked at the peach blossoms that were blooming evilly and charmingly outside the window, and my heart felt sad: "I know it's just my wishful thinking, after all, it won't work." Xuanqing pulled my body, and put his fingers one by one. Into my fingers, ten fingers together, entangled close and lingering. "Believe me. When Brother Huang gradually forgets about you, I will ask Mrs. Jing'an to report your illness and death. If you change your name and surname, we will be together forever." His eyes are as gentle as spring water. It was possible, and finally it was possible.As if falling into a dream, I involuntarily let out a "huh".After such a long time, separated by the double eaves and walls of the harem, and separated by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, so many people, so many things, overlapping and complicated like past and present lives, dazed and unreal.At this moment, he was so determined, as if his feet fell from the clouds and finally stepped on the ground. His voice was like a dream: "Huan'er, do you remember Wen Yi's birthday that day? You stood barefoot in the spring, like a little white fox..." I hummed, but he didn't continue, why should I Will not remember, the first meeting that day. I chuckled and said, "That day you were extremely rude, you were a frivolous prodigal." He smiled and said, "You are so pretty and cute when you are playing in the water barefoot, but you are so stern and angry. I was thinking, how can there be such a boring woman." He looked at me quietly and said, "But a Turning around, I stepped into the hall, only to see you playing the white jade flute and composing the "Jinghong Dance", and then I realized that there are really people in this world who can be as graceful as a frightened bird." I sneered slightly, and shamed him with my fingers: "Where is there such a boaster, one is a white fox and the other is a frightened bird, and he is not ashamed?" I tiptoed to bite his earlobe, his eyebrows lightly raised, and he said vaguely: "Huan'er, don't you know me?" I closed my eyes and sighed softly, "I know." In this world, he is the only one who understands me best, and I also understand him best.It's just that right now, I don't want to think about it, and I don't want to let go of my will and emotion to think about it. I gently broke away from his embrace, pulled out a piece of his hair and pulled it out. He felt a little pain and wondered, "What are you doing?" The sunlight under the window twisted the two strands of hair together.Xuan Qing immediately understood my intentions, his eyes were burning like fire, and the corners of his eyes overflowed with tears, "You and I will be together forever." I smiled and said nothing, my face gradually became hot. Xuan Qing's kiss fell down with the scorching hot breath. -------------------------------------------------- --- Notes:
