Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Spring Encounter

As the days got warmer, I gradually reduced the frequency and amount of medicine I took because I was always peaceful, and my body became looser.Liu Zhu said to me privately: "Miss often takes that medicine and lays down in the house, her face is much paler, she should also walk in the sun, her complexion will be better." In spring, the scenery of Shanglin Garden is the best. The pear blossoms and crabapple in Tangli Palace have only grown leaves and no flower buds have emerged. Many flowers in Shanglin Garden have bloomed. The famous flowers are full of fragrance, and Jiamu It is thriving, and the flying springs and clear water are glistening, beautiful and beautiful, just like in a painting, which is quite lovable.The palace likes to plant magnolia, crabapple, peony, osmanthus, green bamboo, plantain, plum blossom, and orchid eight products.Tangli Palace is located in the southwest corner of Shanglin Garden. It is a place where few people walk around, and the surrounding area is also rarely visited by people.So I only walked around Tangli and no one bothered me.

Not far from Tangli Palace is Taiye Pool.The blue waves of Taiye Pool are like an hectare, and the waves are shimmering. From a distance, the water and the sky are all the same color of lake blue and green, and the reflections give off light.There are several islands scattered in the pool, and towering and beautiful pavilions and pavilions are widely built on the islands, and there are more exotic flowers and plants, which have a unique flavor.The scenery of Taiye Lake in March and April is just right, the weeping willows and willows along the bank are full of flowers, and the branches and leaves are stretched out with a little light yellow and emerald green, like the eyebrows carefully painted by the court ladies, and thousands of green jade silk ribbons are dancing with the wind. Ji's Yao skirt fluttered lightly, and even Huanbi smiled when she saw it: "The green jade makeup is as tall as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons are hanging down. It turned out to be such a beautiful scene. There are so many willow trees, which are really only found in the palace." Atmospheric." The new willows and flowers, the cool wind blowing by the pool are all dyed with lush green water vapor and flower fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed, like being in the morning dew and morning light.

I stayed a few times and liked it very much. After returning, I ordered Xiao Lianzi and Xiao Yunzi to say that they had set up a swing on the tree.Xiao Yunzi was quick-witted, and specially drew wisteria and duruo to twine on the swing, and opened small purple fragrant flowers with soft branches and leaves, and the fragrance should be far away.When blowing with the wind, the fragrant wind is thin, like in the clouds. The weather in this afternoon was excellent, the sky was as clear as a pool of still water, the sun was as bright as gold, and the light and white catkins were flying all over the sky, fluttering and falling with the wind.I sat alone on the swing, kicking the fallen flowers on the soft grass with one foot.Liu Zhu nudged the swing frame and joked with me.The warm breeze blew slightly, like a hand slowly stirring the dense apricot blossoms beside me, and the petals, as thin as silk, fell on me little by little, as soft as my mother's fingers touching my cheek when I was a child.

I can't help but look up at the flowers. The flowers are very clustered, crowded together until they are pink for a long time, and only one star can be seen in the blue sky. "In the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, play the flute until dawn", as if the predecessors wrote it like this.I suddenly became interested, and turned my head to tell Liu Zhu: "Go and get my flute." Liu Zhu responded and went, and I was alone on the swing for a while, and suddenly there was a shadow behind me at some point, and I was bluffing. After a jump, he quickly jumped off the swing and turned to look.But I saw a young man standing behind me, wearing a sea-green bat uniform and a red gold hairpin crown on his head. What is the identity.

I couldn't help but blushed, and I bent my knees for a blessing. I didn't know what to call it, so I had to maintain the posture of saluting.After a long silence, his face was already burning like fire, and his knees were also slightly sore, so he could only ask in embarrassment: "I don't know how to call you?" The man was silent, I didn't dare to raise my head, and asked again in a low voice, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he gave a soft "Oh" and said softly, "Please get up." I slightly raised my eyes to pay attention to his clothes, he seemed to have noticed it, and said: "I am... King Qinghe."

Knowing that it is Qinghe Prince Xuanling, I am even more embarrassed. It seems inappropriate for a concubine to meet the prince alone.So he took two steps back, bowed slightly and said: "The nobleman of Gongguan behind the concubine, Mrs. Zhen, has seen the prince." He thought for a while, "Are you the sick nobleman?" Immediately, I felt that something was wrong, and my heart was full of doubts, and I asked: "How does the prince know about the trivial matters in the inner palace?" He was slightly taken aback, and immediately smiled and said: "I heard Huang...sister-in-law mentioned that on New Year's Eve, brother Huang asked a question, and I happened to be by." Only then did I feel relieved.

He asked kindly: "Is your body feeling better? The spring cold is still there, why don't you wear more clothes?" "My lord, don't worry, I'm much better now." Just as I was about to say goodbye, Liu Zhu came over with a flute in his hand, and was also surprised to see a strange man beside me, so I hurriedly said, "I haven't seen King Qinghe yet." Zhu hurriedly knelt down to meet Li. He caught a glimpse of the emerald-colored flute, and asked with a smile, "Do you know how to play the flute?" I nodded slightly, "It's boring in the boudoir, it's just for entertainment."

"Can you play a song to listen to it?" He felt a little abrupt, and said again: "This king really likes the flute." I hesitated for a moment, and said: "I am not proficient in flute art, I'm afraid it will be insulting to the listener." He raised his eyes to look at the sky and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful in spring, if you have the sound of flute as a companion, you can't live up to this garden full of willows, flowers and flowers. Please don't refuse me, my lord." I couldn't refuse it, so I had to step back a foot away, concentrating on thinking for a while, and carefully blew a set in response to the scenery in front of me, "Where is the jade flute, the sky is like water, and the Qionghua is as white as ice overnight."

The green silk flicked the mandarin ducks low, thinking of peach leaves, and called for crossing at that time.I will wait for the sad eyes and the spring breeze, and I will stay even less leaning on the railing. Jinling Road, Yingyingyanyanwu.Counting the tide, knowing people is the hardest.The fragrant grass in the manting can't return, the sun is setting, and the boat is moving, where is it going? When I was young, my aunt who lived in the south of the Yangtze River taught me to play this song with Xun.At the end of the song, King Qinghe remained silent, just in a trance. I was silent for a moment, and called softly: "My lord." Only then did he regain his senses.I whispered: "My concubine has made a fool of herself, please don't blame me."

He looked at me and said: "You play very well, but just now when you played the sentence 'Manting Fangcao can't return', the sound of the flute was slightly stagnant, not smooth, with a feeling of whimpering. But homesick?" I was slightly embarrassed by his confession, and said with a blushing face, "I have heard people say, 'There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu', I didn't expect the prince to be so good at hearing." He was slightly stunned, and smiled slightly: "This king has not heard such a good flute sound for a long time. Since... Queen Chunyuan passed away, no one's flute sound can move... this king's ears. "Although he is not far away from me, that voice seems to come from the sky, which is very emotional.

I took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise. It's just that my concubine dares to compare with Queen Chunyuan." I bowed, "It's getting late, my concubine has to go back to the palace first. Please go ahead, my lord." He nodded and smiled, and left. Liu Zhu helped me walk back to the palace through flowers and willows, and then I sat down in the Yingxin Hall. I immediately called Jingqing: "Go and find out, has King Qinghe entered the palace today? Where is he now?" Jingqing I agreed to go out. Liu Zhu asked suspiciously: "Miss, do you think that the one who tasted the flute with you today is not the King of Qinghe?" I said, "It's good to be a little more careful." Jingqing went there for half a day, and came back to report: "I have entered the palace today, and now I am tasting paintings with the emperor in the Emperor's Yiyuan Hall." I nodded secretly, and went to eat in peace. After a day, I still went to the swing to kill time.The air in the spring morning is very fresh, with the misty moisture of the lake, the freshness of the soft willows on both sides of the river and the fragrance of the first blooming flowers, which make people feel vigorous.The wisteria and duruo on the swing rope are still stained with crystal clear dew that has not been exposed by the sun. When the swing swings lightly, it coolly falls on the face and shoulders, like light raindrops.There was an early warbler perched on a tree and twittered happily.This is the best time to enjoy the morning light. Suddenly, someone stretched out his hand and pushed my swing vigorously, and the shaking of the swing increased immediately. I was startled, and hurriedly grasped the swing rope with both hands.The swing flew forward and flew high, and the wind brushed against my cheeks forcefully, taking my skirt and flying against the wind like a huge butterfly.I laughed loudly: "Liu Zhu, you narrow-minded girl, you are playing tricks behind my back!" I giggled: "Push it higher! Liu Zhu, higher!" Swinging backwards, I passed a person's figure quickly, and I could see more and more clearly, I screamed: "My lord!" Who is it if it's not the king of Qinghe, I can't help but feel panic in my heart.As soon as he loosened his grip, he wanted to fall off the swing. King Qinghe raised his arms, looked at me with a smile and said, "If you are afraid, come down." I felt ashamed and annoyed in my heart, and I was even more dissatisfied. I clenched the rope tightly and said loudly: "My lord, just push the swing, I'm not afraid!" Smiling all over his eyes, he approached the swing and pushed it forward even harder.I can only hear the whistling of the wind in my ears, and the hair on my temples is swaying back and forth.The more frightened I was, the harder I tried to keep my eyes open and not allow myself to close them, until my eyes were as round as apricots.The swing flew straight to the old apricot tree with luxuriant flowers. I was so naughty that I stretched out my feet to kick the apricot blossoms that bloomed like icy warm clouds. When it rustled down, the warbler on the tree "di" was startled and flew into the air, stirring up the flowing and bright sunshine all over the sky. The petals were falling like rain, and one of them flew over and hit my eyes.As soon as I felt the pain, I stretched out my hand to rub it involuntarily, and as soon as my hand loosened, I fell straight down from the swing. I was so terrified in my heart that I closed my eyes tightly in fear, and said to myself, "My life is over!" It didn't hurt very much when it landed, but I didn't dare to open my eyes, I felt that my forehead was hot and cold, but it was someone's breath, gently blowing, like the morning wind that was cold but warm in this season.Quiet and silent, with the softness of falling flowers on the skirt of the clothes.Opening his eyes secretly, he saw a pair of jet-black pupils head-on, as warm as black jade, with a slight smile.I didn't turn my head, because only at that moment, I found my face in those pupils.For the first time, I saw myself in the eyes of others.I can't take my eyes off, I only see myself in other people's eyes.With a slight movement of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of King Qinghe's face like a spring breeze, his pupils staring at me with a smile, and then realized that I fell into his arms, panicked, and hurriedly jumped down to the ground, so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground. Going down, the voice is like a mosquito: "I have seen the prince." He chuckled: "Why are you ashamed now? Didn't you not be afraid just now? You are still like a hero among women." I bowed my head deeply, and said in a low voice: "I am disrespectful. I don't know that the prince likes to stand quietly behind people." He said loudly: "This is the king's fault." He stretched out his hand to help me: "I didn't come here by accident. When I walked nearby, I remembered the sound of the nobleman's flute, so I asked someone to fetch it again, hoping to meet you again." Your lord, let me listen to you again." He handed me a Lantian jade flute, the whole body was pure white, faintly visible light purple dark patterns on the flute pipe, and a dark red gold thread wrapped around the flute tail. Ruyi knot, what a jade flute! I took it, "I don't know what the lord wants to hear?" "You can choose the one you like to play." After calming down, I picked up a set to blow: From the eastern suburbs to Xiaoxing Piaoya.Baodili, spring also.Liu raised her smokey eyes, Hua Yun showed her face, and gradually felt green and red.Decorate the terraces and pavilions.Yun Shengong and Danqing are priceless. Don't have a Yao rank test.The bridegroom, the trip is picturesque.The wind in the apricot garden is fine, the waves of peach blossoms are warm, and the feathers of Jingxi are scaled.All over Jiumo, Xiangjiang Youye.Sudden Xiangchen, Baoan Jiaoma. "Liu Chuxin" was originally a song praising the beauty of the spring garden, the prosperity and peace, and the tune is very bright. He was really happy when he heard it, and said with a smile on his mouth: "The wind in the apricot garden is fine? It's apricot again. You like apricot blossom very much." Is it?" I looked up at the tree Fangfei and said: "The apricot blossoms are crystal clear when they are in full bloom, and light red when they are in bud. It is not as gorgeous as peach blossoms, nor as cold as plum blossoms. It is as warm and moist as a shy girl, very gentle." His His eyes stayed on me: "People are like flowers, and flowers are like people. Only people with character and tact will like flowers with character and tact." I pondered for a while: "But I dare not like Xinghua." "Oh?" He raised his eyelids and asked with great interest, "Let's hear it." "Although the apricot blossom is beautiful, the apricots it bears are extremely sour, and the almonds are even more bitter. What's the point if everything you do is good at the beginning and bad at the end? It's not as good as pines and cypresses, which are green all the year round. .” He raised his eyebrows, "Really... I've never heard of such an opinion, it's really fresh and unique." He said with a smile: "The concubine spoke nonsense, which made the prince laugh. I hope the prince will stop scaring the concubine after listening to this song." He clapped his palms and laughed: "I was the one who was rude today. I have two music scores, and I will bring them with you tomorrow afternoon, and you can appreciate them together. I hope that the nobleman will definitely come." His smile is so beautiful, like the dazzling golden light piercing through the flowing clouds and thick fog and hovering over the spring scenery of the garden, I couldn't refuse it. After walking away for two steps, I remembered something, then turned around and said: "I have something to ask, please allow me, my lord." "you say." "It's inappropriate for a concubine to meet the prince, please don't let others know, so as not to damage each other's reputation." "Oh, since it is pure reputation, who can be bad?" I shook my head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. The concubine and the Majesty are aboveboard, although they say 'everything is impossible to tell others', but there are many people in the harem, and everyone's words make money. In the end, it's nothing but gossip." He frowned slightly, but agreed very readily. -------------------------------------------------- --- Notes:
