Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

Concubine Yu's concubine day was on the first day of March.The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the concubine's robes and crowns to the Yonghe Palace long ago. "The bun is more suitable for a palace. The lotus face is tender and the body is red and fragrant. The eyebrows do not need to be open and painted, and the sky teaches people to have long sideburns. Laying leaning on the appearance of the country, marrying someone, and having a lover. When we were young, we should not be negative. time." Concubine Yu hummed softly, her singing voice was swaying and full of emotion, echoing under the vermilion walls of Yonghe Palace, winding endlessly.

That singing sound directly aroused the deep pain in the emperor's heart.Almost at the same instant, Concubine Yu heard the emperor's roar: "What are you singing?" Concubine Yu was so shocked that the ivory and jade comb in her hand fell to the ground, she hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "The emperor forgives the sin! The emperor forgives the sin!" The emperor shouted: "Where did you learn these things? A Mongolian woman, what libretto do you learn?" Concubine Yu panicked and said: "The emperor forgives the crime. The concubine just saw that the emperor likes to listen to concubine Ling sing Kunqu opera, and the lyrics are elegant, so she learned this song from Nanfu. Concubine, concubine..."

She reasoned nonchalantly, and the face being carefully groomed was exposed in front of the emperor's eyes with ignorance and panic, and also revealed the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and slightly loose skin brought about by her real age. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, the traces of early aging are no match for the many handsome faces in the palace.What's more, such a face with new make-up is half pretty. The emperor sternly shouted: "Why are we so young, don't miss the good times! I am nearly fifty years old, but you are also an old woman in thirty. Could it be that you have been wronged by marrying me?" Concubine Yu was panicked and looked up When she raised her face to argue, the emperor spat hard on her face, "It's fine for others to want to be a young man, since you are already thirty years old, I see that several empresses of the Qing Dynasty were born in Borziji Te Shi is exceptionally gracious to you, but you are so shameless and delusional!"

Li Yu knelt beside him and persuaded, "The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down." The emperor was so angry that his throat was gasping, and he lifted his feet and left, leaving Concubine Yu limp on the ground, crying. The emperor rushed out of the Yonghe Palace angrily, just when he met Ruyi outside the palace, he was slightly taken aback: "Why is the queen here?" Ruyi's eyes were half filled with emotion and emotion: "The concubine came from the teahouse and chose some melon slices from Lu'an as a tribute, which the emperor likes to drink. Who knew that when I passed the Yonghe Palace, I heard someone singing "Good Times" inside. ", and stopped before I knew it."

At the moment when the memory was involved, the lines of the emperor's face gradually softened, and he said slowly: "This song was your favorite song back then." Ruyi nodded slightly, with tears streaming down her face: "When the concubine first married the emperor, the emperor taught it to the concubine. The eyebrows do not need to be painted openly, the heavens teach the temples to grow. So when the concubine draws her eyebrows, I always remember the scene when the emperor drew eyebrows for his concubines." There was a spring breeze blowing gently on the face, and the pictures in my memory always had a light pink apricot color, misty, and it was the best time.She said sadly: "It turns out that Concubine Yu can also sing now."

The emperor's face darkened, and he said coldly: "She is not worthy!" He stretched out his hand to guide her forward, "I have only taught you this song, and no one is worthy to sing it except you." Ruyi smiled lightly: "We were young when we were young, and the concubine and the emperor did not disappoint in such a good time." There is a warm color in the emperor's eyes, lush and green, so moist and gentle.She knows that at this moment, this warmth is only for her, no one else, even if they are getting old and fading, he and her will still have a memory after all.Inviolable.

There was a faint cry of grief coming from behind, that sadness almost broke through the red wall, but was firmly trapped. Ruyi didn't care, but asked gently, "Your Majesty, my concubine has prepared lunch in the palace, can you invite the Emperor to go with me?" The emperor naturally agreed, and Ruyi walked side by side with him, with a determined smile on his lips. This meal is refreshing and simple, with fresh and green seasonal vegetables, served with wild duck soup that is not greasy, and a few plates of pasta. The emperor laughed at Ruyi: "The spring river plumbing duck is a prophet, the dishes are just in line with the spring season, the most suitable way to preserve one's health. It is only enough to serve with soup and rice, how can you eat with rice rolls and millet? Is the queen even stingy with a bowl of rice?"

Ruyi was a little embarrassed, retreated from the crowd, and then said in a low voice: "The concubine thinks that the rice eaten by the emperor is useless, so she makes her own decisions." She sighed softly, and said on her knees, "Your Majesty, all the concubines are incompetent, if it weren't for Yongqi, I'm afraid that both the courtiers and the emperor are ignorant." As she spoke, she clapped her hands twice, and Yong Qi came in and said, "Huang Ama, Wanan, Queen Mother." The emperor looked at him: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Yongqi knelt down and said, "Huang Ama, last year there was no rain in the southeast, which affected the harvest. The imperial court once sent people to provide relief and rice. Now that there is a shortage of grain in spring, my minister specially asked someone to fetch some rice grains distributed by the imperial court from the southeast." Come, I want to send it to the palace to be cooked in the imperial dining room, and to eat with Huang Ama is also to understand the sufferings of the people. Unexpectedly, the cook who made rice in the imperial dining room hesitated, and my son and minister became suspicious, so they asked people to taste Huang Ama's old days. The Oden rice I ate was fine."

The emperor was dumbfounded: "Since you are all right, what do you want to say?" Yong Qi kowtowed and said: "All the eunuchs who tasted the food for Huang Ama, so they will be fine after eating this rice. My son thought that Huang Ama should be very careful when eating and drinking, and specially invited the imperial doctor to see it. The imperial rice used by Zhihuang Ama was bribed by the cook to add a cold medicine." The emperor was shocked: "What cold medicine?" Yong Qi blushed: "For this reason, my minister has already invited the imperial doctor Qi Luqi to come." After he finished speaking, he kowtowed and left.

Qi Lu waited outside, already trembling with trepidation, came in and said clearly: "The so-called cold medicine is specially used for women to eliminate dissidents and please their husbands. It is used by women before going to bed. If they take it unknowingly, they will always feel sore, weak and tired, and their limbs will be weak, and they will not be able to relax. Obsessed." There were layers of red waves on the emperor's face, it was the blood in his heart, and he rushed up with a dark red, and he couldn't hide it. Such an embarrassing dispute in the harem was unintentionally uncovered by his beloved son. , revealing the filth and unbearableness under the golden powder of prosperity.How not to embarrass him and add to the annoyance. The blue veins on the emperor's forehead throbbed, throbbing, and throbbing, extremely strong: "Who did it?" Ruyi said quietly: "Concubine Yu. Yongqi said that the cook has already been recruited." The emperor was very concerned: "Poisonous or not?" "Non-toxic." Qi Lu hurriedly said, "The emperor was not feeling well a few days ago, it was because of this cold medicine. It is colorless and tasteless when mixed with rice, it is enough." He knelt down hastily, "My minister It's useless, if you can't detect it earlier, so the emperor uses more stones, it's all because of the incompetence of the humble minister." The emperor's brows twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not for you to know about it. If it wasn't for Yongqi's pure filial piety, I'm afraid you wouldn't know about it." Ruyi was unhappy: "It's also because the courtiers and concubines are useless and they don't take care of the six palaces properly, which makes Kegui and others feel wronged for nothing!" Qi Lu seemed to want to get rid of the futility of using the medicine a few days ago, and added another sentence: "The emperor's dragon body was originally healthy, but it was only after being deliberately drugged that it became mentally fatigued and could not handle the government affairs with peace of mind. If the medicine is stopped, the slightest The minister will gradually increase the temperature and tonic medicine, and it will be safe." The emperor sent Qi Lu down, blushing: "The bitch is stupid, it's unbearable to fight for favor like this." Ruyi said with tears in her eyes, "It's medicine that's three-point poisonous. Even though Concubine Yu is just trying to win favor, she's doing so lowly that she doesn't hesitate to take the emperor's dragon body as light. It's really unbearable." The emperor clenched his palms tightly and snorted coldly: "Concubine Yu?" Ruyi persuaded slowly: "Today is the day when Concubine Yu becomes a concubine, and the emperor's word of mouth has already spread throughout the six palaces, so don't hurt the body of the dragon because of a moment of anger. Besides, the news of this matter will really damage the emperor's reputation. !" The emperor stood in awe for a moment, only to hear his breathing getting heavier and heavier: "My will has been made, and it is impossible to turn around! But Borzigit is arrogant and frivolous, with sinister intentions, how can he be worthy of serving me as a concubine? Li Yu, Biography According to my will, the concubine remains the same, but I don't want to see this lowly maid again. Tell the respect room to take off her green head card, and she will not be allowed to sleep, and she will be confined in her own palace, and she will not come out without purpose! It's just the Concubine Yu of this Forbidden City, not my Concubine Yu!" Concubine Yu's sudden fall from favor certainly caused controversy.However, whoever is willing to pursue the truth has no way of knowing the truth.Rumors are always more colorful than the truth, absurd and base, flowing from this person's tongue to that person's tongue, always gaining uncertain pleasure, adding oil and vinegar, hot and fragrant.The cook has already confessed the truth, and Concubine Yu has long since denied it.It's just that Concubine Yu is confined to the palace and never sees the sun again. Such a talent for a while, the favorite concubine from a prominent family can also be dismissed lightly. The queen has been doing this for a long time, and she really has a lot of hard work in her heart. What is really worrying is that there is only one pregnant woman in the harem, Yan Wan.However, there are many concubines who have given birth to the emperor's heirs, so it is not a serious worry.With a biological child and a successor in hand, Ruyi is not in a panic, as long as she is alive, it is not too difficult. Instead, what made her heart flutter was a woman that Zhaohui wanted to bring back to deal with after the cold part of Tianshan Mountain retreated steadily. Han's fragrant see you. And the emperor, after hearing this, just sneered: "It's just a mere woman, and it deserves such solemnity! Absurd!" Many years later, Ruyi recalled the day when she first met Xiangjian, it was just after March, and the weather was faintly restless and rippling with spring.According to the twenty-four flower letters according to the seasons, Ruyi watched the Jingzhe with her fingers, waiting for peach blossoms first, Ditang second, and roses third.Hailan stood beside her, counting the spring flowers with a smile, and then the spring equinox, waiting for crabapple first, pear blossom second, and magnolia third. It was just an ordinary day.The so-called celebration banquet is no different from every royal banquet.The song is still so emotional, and the dance is still so lingering.Every day is golden dust, flying in the sun, dyeing the darkness into dazzling gold, empty and busy.Day after day, I got used to this kind of invariability, like stroking a long red wall, groping all the way, after a slight pause, there is still such endless red depression. Until, until, Xiangjian enters the palace. All the indifference and repetition in the Forbidden City came to an abrupt end because of her. The singing, dancing and drinking on that day were still unbelievably kitsch, and even every movement of the dancer was as rigid and rigid as a puppet, from the queen mother to the prince Fujin.The smiles are so just right and in line with the standard.Even the young concubines were also contaminated by the dull atmosphere of the palace walls and halls, and they looked quite well-behaved and lifeless. It was the high-spirited Zhaohui who broke the stagnation of drinking in the palace.Naturally, he is qualified for this. As a hero who pacified the Han tribe, he raised his glass and congratulated: "Your Majesty, the pacification of the chaos in the borderlands is a result of the emperor's plan. Huichen is just following the order and following the same steps. Han Qi Yelang is arrogant, and after all, he is vulnerable. I don't dare to take credit for it. It's just that I'm returning to Beijing this time. I got a treasure from Hanbu and dedicated it to the emperor." Yan Wan smirked lightly, not paying attention: "It's just a woman, even if it is a symbol of conquering the Hanbu, there is no need to be so serious!" Lu Yun never liked Yan Wan, so she couldn't help agreeing: "What Concubine Ling said is absolutely true. How unlucky is this husband's daughter! Bringing her into the palace, even if it's just to offer a prisoner, is too unlucky!" Ruyi and Hailan looked at each other, knowing that it would not be a simple woman who could make Zhaohui so grandiose, so in her imagination, she had already outlined a fierce and stubborn image. And Xiang Jian, at that moment, slowly walked into the eyes.Her snow-colored skirt is as light as smoke, like a snow lotus, clear and pure, blooming on the top of the ice and snow mountain.The dazzling demeanor made her forget how to breathe for a moment.It was later that Ruyi found out that she was not trying to attract others' attention by dressing up like this, but was mourning for her unmarried husband.Ruyi wanted to bring back some details of the thrilling beauty that day for her in her memory, but she couldn't remember it anymore.In my impression, there was a scorching sun across the hall, but Xiang Jian quietly walked out of the dazzling light and shadow, as if there was no one else around. There was no trace of makeup on her almost pale face, and she was a little haggard due to excessive sadness and the turbulent journey.The long hair is lightly tied, and that kind of casual and unadorned roughness can't erase the slightest bit of her beauty, but it shows her real beauty that people dare not look directly at. At that moment, she clearly and unmistakably heard a heavy sigh from the entire Forbidden City.She couldn't understand it better than that, it was the self-knowledge of all harem women and the lament of an uncertain future. And the sighs of all the men are from the bottom of their hearts.Because everyone understands that once such a woman falls into the eyes of the emperor, there will be no chance for anyone else to touch her. Ruyi's thoughts turned slowly, but she couldn't take her eyes off at all, until Yan Wan who was close to her held her hand tightly. This sudden closeness made Ruyi feel deeply uncomfortable, she tried her best to sit upright, but she heard Yan Wan's almost wailing grief: "Empress Empress, this kind of prodigal and enchanting slut must not enter the palace. " For Yan Wan's words, he gritted his teeth, with the vigilance of sharpening the roots of his teeth.Ruyi pushed her hand away calmly, wanted to speak, but couldn't help looking at the emperor. Dumbfounded was his only expression.Only the agitation of Adam's apple hinted at his fanatical and absolute desire, Ruyi almost sighed silently. That is impossible. Zhaohui was triumphant, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Han Qi's fiancée—Yixiangjian." The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Xiangjian? Is she already a wife?" Zhaohui hurriedly said: "The queen mother let me report. Xiangjian's father is Hanbu Taiji Ati, who has the same surname as Hanqi. Xiangjian Baiyou has a marriage contract with Hanqi, but because his father has always disliked Hanqi Stupid and ambitious, so I have never promised to marry, and I have been procrastinating until now, and Han Qi has also threatened that the day of success will be the time of marriage." Seeing that she couldn't bear it, Xiangjian gritted her teeth and said, "Although my father doesn't like Hanqi, I have a marriage contract with him since childhood. I don't understand tribal affairs, but Hanqi treats me with affection, but I understand it better than anyone else. Although I am not married, I have a marriage contract, and I am also a widow. Now that Han Qi is dead, how can my relationship with him be settled?!" Zhaohui thought she had heard her cold words too much, so she didn't think she was disobedient, she still smiled and said, "Xiangjian is the number one beauty in the Han tribe, famous in Tianshan Mountain. And because of her name Xiangjian, she loves Zaohua, The jade face is not close, and the fragrance is striking, so it is called "Xiangfei", and it is deeply respected by the Ministry of Tianshan, and it is almost like a god." The Empress Dowager awarded her head slightly, counting the eighteen pink emerald tourmaline rosary beads the size of her thumb in her hand, and the small red gold amulet dangling from the evil rosary beads wobbled uncomfortably.The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and said softly: "I thought that a beautiful woman would be a beauty if she smiled, but I don't think that a real beauty is also a national beauty if she gets angry. I feel sorry for you, let alone a young man!" Hai Lan's gaze was extremely indifferent, it was the calm ancient well, calmly reflecting Xiangjian's peerless appearance, she lightly waved an ivory fan with embroidery and cut flowers in her hand, and the apricot tassels swayed slowly. On the cuffs of her lake-colored pear blossoms and double butterflies: "I have lived my whole life, and I have never seen such a beauty. When the imperial concubine Shujia and Concubine Shu were together, they were really beautiful. It's dusty." Luyun was slightly jealous, and felt ashamed: "Alas! Alas! Fortunately, those two left early, and Concubine Shu is fine. If Imperial Concubine Shujia is still here, what she cherishes and is most proud of is her appearance, but You mustn't die of anger!" Lu Yun's words were not false.The emperor knows how to appreciate the beauty of women in the world. The concubines in the palace, with every muscle and face, are all extremely beautiful, especially Jin Yuyan and Yihuan are the most outstanding.The beauty of Yuyan is the sunshine in midsummer, aggressive and relentless; the beauty of Yihuan is a round of red color reflected in Zhuge Qihu, which is clear and clean.However, in front of Xiangmian who came from the world, the beauty and beauty of their life all overwhelmed the smeared fish eyes under the shadow of pearls. Zhao Hui was quite embarrassed: "Your Majesty! Han Qi died, Xiang Jian invited himself into the palace to atone for the crime with his body!" Concubine Ying was the most impatient, glaring at Shang Zhaohui's flattering and smug smile, she tried her best to restrain her voice: "If you are a slave, how can you serve your majesty!" Xiang Jian neither bowed down nor saluted.Standing there, ecstatic, without a hint of a smile; "I never said the fate you imposed on me when I invited myself into the palace to pay for my crimes with my own body! I am willing to come here today, but you took the money from my people." My life is threatened, and I am required to accept your various arrangements as a captive." The emperor turned a deaf ear to her, just stared at her fixedly, and asked in a daze, "Are you cold?" Everyone was shocked, how could they dare to answer.Xiangjian gave the emperor a disdainful look_ and remained silent, Zhaohui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Xiangjian has accepted my father's order, and has the intention of reconciling with me in the Qing Dynasty. On behalf of Hanbu, Ati would like to ask the emperor for forgiveness, and hope that he will not be angry with those people in Hanbu who yearn for peace. But Ati loves this woman very much. Therefore, if you send a girl to become rich, I hope that she can dance with her to calm down the fighting. All arrangements are for the emperor to decide." The emperor was overjoyed and murmured, "Can you dance?" Xiang Jian's face was the clear and still water under the full fifteenth month, calm and composed, and said: "Yes. Han Qi loves my dancing posture the most, so he has invited dancers from all departments to teach him. In order to live up to his love, my dancing is natural. not bad." The emperor paid attention to the kind-looking queen mother, and said respectfully: "Zhaohui pacified the Hanbu and got a beautiful woman. Would the empress dowager be willing to watch her dance?" The Empress Dowager smiled peacefully at each other: "I once heard that the wife of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty once paid attention to the people's city, and then to the country. Ai's family is willing to watch the dance." "My dance is for my father, for your so-called captives who are living in my tribe. But please let them go, allow them to return to their hometown, and don't suffer from leaving their hometown." Zhao Hui sneered and said, "You speak the truth. If you can't amaze the emperor with a single dance, all your words will be in vain!" Xiangjian bit her lower lip, showing stubbornness in her distress and annoyance.She suddenly turned around, her skirt fluttering like huge butterfly wings, Ling Bo swayed her fragrant shadow with small steps, grabbed the sword worn by Ling Yunche with her hand, and walked straight out. This shock was no small matter, the timid concubine screamed out, and the guards panicked and stopped in front of the emperor.The emperor suddenly shouted: "Don't hurt her! Don't!" Xiangjian smiled awe-inspiringly, raised his sword and danced, and his shadow moved, like a silver sword.The sword dancer is as light as a swallow, and his white clothes are raised lightly, like a cloud of snow shadows flying.Where she dances and swims, she is not like the smoked willows in the south of the Yangtze River, but the Populus euphratica in the desert, soft and unbreakable.For a moment, the beaded and splendid melody also lost its color, and stopped unconsciously, only where her bare hands were caressing lightly, and if she didn't look closely, she thought that the clear halo of the full moon passed by Zhuge Qihu and suddenly avoided it. A wind slowly penetrated through the gate of the palace, blowing her robes, fluttering gracefully, lightly like spring clouds, making people and gods seize it. Ruyi glanced at the spot, and all the men present were dazzled and fascinated by it.And women, if they don't hold back the complex expressions of jealousy, envy and self-ashamedness on their faces for years, they will become small and gloomy gray mustards in front of XiangMei. All the happy together, how can it be compared to Xiangjian Qingcheng's dance. Just when the mind was swaying, a "dang" sound was suddenly heard, as if it was a sharp and piercing clamor when metal collided.In desperation, Ruyi grabbed the emperor's arm and called out, "Your majesty!" Ling Yunche stood up to protect Ruyi and the emperor, and said calmly: "Xiang saw my aunt and daughter-in-law dancing so engrossedly, I forgot that there are no weapons three feet in front of the emperor." Ruyi's heartbeat lost its rhythm, and when she looked down, it turned out that Ling Yunche had used an empty sword to push away the long sword in Xiangjian's hand, but Yu Xiangjian was staring at the emperor with a look of loneliness and resentment that had failed. He dropped his hand in frustration.
