On the third day after this, I often received my honor at Fang Chunyi. www. On the ninth day of the 12th month of the 13th year of Qianyuan, I often received a good life in Fang's family, and the beauty Shi family became a nobleman, and was given the title of "Kang". My momentum also increased with the rise of the ship, and gradually became close to Concubine Hua.

He called himself sick, and Chun'er and Shi Meiren both moved out of Tangli Palace to avoid illness. After my health was well, Xuan Ling had no intention to let them move back. I lived in the huge Tangli Palace and it would not be good for a long time. Now both of them have been promoted to the throne, and Chun'er has a simple personality, so I thought about letting Chun'er move back to the West Side Hall to facilitate the care. As for Shi Meiren, I really don't have much affection for her. In addition, after she fell out of favor, she was promoted again and was awarded the honor of the title. She was complacent for a while and became increasingly eager to come to worship. She was really annoyed.

So I went back to the queen and asked Chun'er to move in with me. Originally, Xuan Ling often stayed in Tangli Palace. Chun'er's move in meant that she would have more opportunities to meet the emperor, which made many envys red.

Xuan Ling loves Chun'er and is not childish, and is not restrained. Although she doesn't favor her often, she doesn't seriously restrict her by the palace rules. The queen, Feng Shuyi and others have always like Chun'er, but now she is lucky to be promoted, so she is happy for her. Xuan Ling only lets her behave without being out of line. She has made Ling Rong a little cold for a moment.

However, Ling Rong didn't seem to care about how much favor he favored. Apart from the regret of Meizhuang's confinement, the relationship between us was even better.

This peaceful situation lasted for dozens of days. Seeing Xuanqing again was the last day of the 13th year of Qianyuan, New Year's Eve. This day was the day for the palace to have a banquet.

Last year's day was the day when I met Xuan Ling in the true sense. In order to avoid him running to the Yongxiang covered with ice and snow at night. Thinking of this festival, my lips, which were stained with wine, smiled unconsciously.

What months did Xuanqing travel around Shu? It was the time when I and Xuanling were in love with Yan Wan. Even though Xuanling was indifferent to Meizhuang, he was still very good to me.

Xuanqing had just returned from Shu. The bright eyebrows and eyes were filled with the dust of the Bashan and Shu River and the tiredness that had not been washed by the storm of the smoky and storm of Kyoto, and his peaceful conversation turned into a touch of gentleness between his lips and teeth. At this moment, he held wine in his arms, sat beside the empress dowager and talked to everyone about the scenery in Shu, the ancient plank road in Jiange Zitong, Li Bing's Dujiangyan, the steep Qinling Mountains, the Shu Road in the blue sky, the spectacular stone carvings of Thousand Buddha Rocks, Du Fu's Huanhua Residence...

That is the plot of my fantasy thoughts in the book. His mouth is very refreshing, and he talks in a leisurely manner that makes people feel immersed in the scene.

Everyone was attracted by his narratives, and even forgot to move the food and drinks. But I was not attentive and occasionally I heard a few words, but I remembered the sentences depicted in the book, comparing his description of the real scenery.

In fact, he sat next to the empress dowager, far away from me, a place of wealth and wealth for selling financial jade. His experiences were a sudden clear stream of women in the palace, which was much different from the life of the boudoir in the past and the intrigue today.

Although the empress dowager was quite interested in hearing it, she saw that the chronic disease of tears had repeatedly occurred since the beginning of winter, and her vision became more and more blurred. Xuan Ling was so anxious that she repeatedly ordered the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital to accompany the Imperial Palace in the Yining Palace. Poor Wen Shichu had just finished the treatment of the Duke of the National Guard and rushed to the Empress dowager to serve in the harem. The empress dowager was not convenient for a long time, so she went back after watching the fireworks.

The Empress Dowager was less restrained as soon as she left. Xuan Ling summoned me to sit beside him and said, "You like to listen to these things the most. I'm afraid I can't hear clearly because I was so far away just now. Why don't you let Lao Liu say it again." As she said that, she glanced at Xuan Qing with a smile: "Are you willing?"

Xuan Qing looked at me slightly and smiled and said, "The emperor wants to make a beautiful woman smile, but why are you stingy with me?"

But I waved my hand, "I can hear it clearly just now. I won't have to repeat it again. The prince should continue to talk about it."

Xuanqing sat down calmly, talking about the scene of staying in Bashan because of the autumn rain, "Originally, the autumn rain was lingering for more than ten days, and I couldn't help but feel depressed. I didn't expect that the night rain in Bashan was such a beautiful scenery, but I asked me to linger for several days for this scene." He said quietly: "The 'Hongchun Xiaoyu' in Emei seemed to be raining but not raining, and the green wet clothes; the drizzle of Li River was like a light fog and light cage, and the rain in Jiazhou was coming, and the lake was coming, and the rain in Xizi was rippling and beautiful, and the mountains were misty and strange. Only the night rain in Bashan was like the hearts of old friends, wandering around the windows, if you didn't talk about the sorrow of parting, you would relieve your sorrows."

I smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty is looking at the rain and cutting candles under the west window to find the feelings of the ancients."

His eyes remained on me for a moment, and then he smiled calmly: "It is a pleasure to cut the candle in the west window together. What's the fun of Xiao Wang alone? It's better to sleep in the rain and have a clear dream."

I nodded, "The prince is so elegant. I am afraid that I can't appreciate the fun of Yishan saying, "Why should I cut the candle in the west window together, but talk about the night rain in Bashan."

He slightly restrained his smile, "Yishan Mountain has brocade serts to miss, and Xiaowang also has poems and wine to relieve his worries." His eyes sternly shook, and he said, "Xiaowang doesn't understand how to cut the west window together, but he can enter the dream of imitating Zhuangsheng's dream of a butterfly."

I raised my sleeves and covered my lips and smiled at Xuan Ling. Xuan Ling said, "Zhuang Sheng was confused about the butterfly. Is it because Zhuang Sheng was confused about the butterfly, or the butterfly deliberately wanted to confused about Zhuang Sheng?"

I lowered my head slightly, then raised my eyes and smiled, with a light look in my eyes, "Maybe the butterfly didn't mean to enter Zhuangsheng's dream."

Xuanqing didn't look at me and said, "Maybe Zhuang Sheng wanted to dream of a butterfly."

Xuan Ling looked at him with interest: "What do you say?"

Xuanqing only said to it in one sentence, "I think about it in the sun and dream about it at night."

Xuan Ling couldn't help but hold his palm and laughed: "It turns out that Zhuang Sheng misses the butterfly."

Xuanqing just smiled faintly, as if it was nothing to do with him, "A beautiful lady is a gentleman. Perhaps the butterfly is the lady in Zhuang Sheng's mind. What do the emperor think?"

Xuan Ling drank a glass of wine, "I have read history papers since I was a child, and my father always said you are not creative." He said to me: "You are the best at poetry and books, what do you think?"

I just smiled to the greatest extent, "Butterflies are Zhuang Sheng's ideal, and ladies are requested by gentlemen." I chanted softly, "The doves are singing in the river island. But I can't find them, and I toss and turn." I smiled slightly: "Ideals are not as steadfast as reality can hold them in my hands."

His expression was a moment of embarrassment and depression, and soon it was just as usual. My heart was beating "dongdong", for fear that if a word was lost, it would backfire.

I just want to remind him, that's it. Perhaps he doesn't need my reminder at all. He is so smart that everything can be understood from my tone. But if I don't do this, I will never be completely at ease in my heart.

Now I am very good to Xuan Ling, even if I am just one of the women he loves. However, his heart towards me is not frivolous.

I just hope to live my own life in the palace safely.

I clearly understand that his life is completely different from mine. My destiny has been arranged to be one of the many women in the harem; my years are to live well in this team of beautiful women in the vermilion palace; and my life is just to continue this long journey, until I am exhausted, until I am abandoned by fate, until I am finally overwhelmed by the new beauty. There are always two roads waiting for me, to be favored, or to lose favor.

And he, his life is too wonderful, as if a long scroll of beautiful flowers, has just revealed a corner, and there are too many unknowns and possibilities, far beyond my ability to compare with.

Moreover, there are too many wars in my life. For such an accident, especially a beautiful accident, it is too dangerous, I would rather stay away from it.

Safety is the most important thing to me.

The queen and Jing smiled: "There should be the first in the harem of Concubine Zhen Jie, and only she can answer the Six Kings in a smooth manner. If I change to this palace, I will be speechless."

Feng Shuyi also laughed, "Take it seriously, I can't understand what the prince and Jieyu sister are talking about. What are the butterfly, Zhuangsheng, and lady, I really listen to it in a mess."

Xuan Ling's hand gently held my hand under the desk and said, "They are talking about "Zhuangzi" and "Book of Songs."

I smiled at him gently, "The Emperor is wise."

The queen looked to the palace maid behind her and said, "The emperor and the prince, Zhen Jieyu must have a dry mouth after talking for a long time. Go and fill the wine prepared by Zhen Jieyu."

The palace maid went up to pour wine as she said. The glass was flawless jade, and the wine was clear and clear.

I first respect Xuanling, then the queen, and then I respect Xuanqing. Xuanqing was not in a hurry to drink, so I looked at it carefully, sniffed gently, and turned to the queen.

"It's osmanthus wine." Xuan Ling said, "I and Jieyu picked the newly bloomed osmanthus flowers this autumn and made this wine."

Xuan Ling used such an intimate tone to me in front of me. I felt a little embarrassed. I felt a few sharp eyes coming from behind, so I slowly said: "Take glutinous rice to make wine. The wine will turn into the first blooming osmanthus stamens, drain the dew and soak the wine, and add a little honey. The mouth is sweet and sweet, but not intoxicating." I used this to relieve the embarrassment, "The method is simple, and this wine will not hurt your body. If the prince likes it, you can brew it yourself."

Cao Jieyu, who was under the seat, suddenly smiled Ning Mei and said, "The sweet osmanthus wine at the family banquet is very good, but the princes are here. It would be better if they were treated with Maotai, Huiquan, Daqu or Western Regions wines, and it would be better. It must be more flavorful." The implication is that the wine I prepared neglected the kings and wives and could not reflect the demeanor that the royal family should have.

Some people's eyes secretly felt sarcasm and contempt, just waiting to see my good show. I just smiled as usual, and said: "The war in the southwest has not yet been settled. Since the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have started to make frugality to supply military supplies, the harem should advance and retreat with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and use the osmanthus wine made by the Emperor to replace the precious wine seeds, which not only shows the emperor's frugality, but also shows that the royal family has a close relationship."

Cao Jieyu smiled humbly: "My sister is really considerate and considerate."

I smiled and said, "My sister is too rewarded. If you are considerate and considerate, how can my sister be as good as my sister?" I suddenly looked at Princess He of Runan and said, "The prince is very capable of killing the enemy for the country on the battlefield. It is really the pride of my Great Zhou. I believe that the osmanthus wine sent by my concubine should have arrived."

He bowed and said, "Thank you, Concubine Jie. The wine has arrived. The prince gives away all the soldiers. All the generals are grateful to the emperor and Concubine Jie for their concern for the soldiers, and their morale has increased greatly."

I said, "I'm sorry, the princess has to worry. The cold and bitter border areas are so cold that this wine will not intoxicate and delay war, but it can increase the warmth and drive away the cold. The fragrance of osmanthus in August will also relieve the pain of the soldiers' homesickness."

He said: "That's right."

Xuanqing suddenly said, "To respect the emperor, heaven is wise, and to respect the soldiers, bravely killing the enemy, I hope you all drink this cup together." As he said that, he stood up and raised his head and drank it all, wiped the wine traces from his lips with his sleeves, and shouted: "Good wine!" As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere was greatly relaxed and became harmonious again.

When I saw the opportunity, the queen showed her. Queen Yingying stood up and raised her glass: "I will lead all the sisters in the harem to congratulate the emperor on his blessings and longevity, and the country is peaceful and prosperous."

So I drank and chatted again, which was very lively.

He took the time to give Xuanqing a grateful glance and thanked him for helping me. He just smiled lightly and drank his wine on his own.

My ear near Xuanling said in my ear: "When will I order you to send wine to comfort the generals?"

I looked back and smiled at him: "The emperor is busy with national affairs. Do you not allow me to share my worries for the emperor?" I paused slightly, my voice becoming lower and lower, almost inaudible. "The morale of the army needs to be determined by the emperor, and the gifts will naturally be given by the emperor. There is no need to pretend to others."

He maintained a calm expression on the surface, but the corners of his mouth still raised unconsciously, showing a satisfied smile. His hands under the desk were intertwined with my ten fingers.

As if the April wind blows gently in my heart, I tremble slightly, my face is full of a crimson smile and my head is low.

However, it was not finished. Concubine Tian suddenly said, "It is natural that Sister Jieyu advocates frugality. But I heard that my sister has a pair of jade shoes made of Shu brocade and decorated with jewelry, which is extremely luxurious. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to see it?"

Xuan Ling glanced at her and said slowly: "I remember that I once gave you jewelry, which is also precious and luxurious."

Before he finished speaking, Chun'er, who had just finished eating the pastry, clapped her hands and said, "That was given to her by the emperor who liked Sister Jieyu. Of course, the more expensive and luxurious the better. Since the emperor liked it, what's wrong with it? Your Majesty, do you think?"

Chun'er was innocent and said without any restraint. My face changed so anxiously. For a moment, everyone was stunned, but there was no better reason than this to block others' mouths. Thanks to Chun'er, the only one, that others would never say such words.

Xuan Ling looked at Chun'er lovingly, "I like you the most and say whatever you say." Chun'er was naturally happy when she heard this.

The face of Concubine Tian was blue and white, and she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. But Chun'er wanted to ask: "Concubine Tian, ​​don't you?"

Concubine Tian was in the forefront of the emperor, and Chun'er's position was above her, so it was difficult to have an attack, so she had to say, "Fang Liangyuan said it well."

I looked at Chun'er with a angrily voice and hinted that she should not say more, but she didn't care. She just smiled at me and buried her head in her delicacies.

I had to smile bitterly. This Chun'er really had no way to do anything to her, but Xuan Ling still spoiled her like this. But she didn't know the taboos like this, and was afraid that there would be no benefit for her.

I shook my head secretly.

But Chun'er seemed to have never listened to my advice. With Xuan Ling's love and my protection, she was not afraid of anything and would not think of being afraid.

After the family banquet, the concubines disperse in turn. Xuanling stayed alone in Yiyuan Hall, on the first day of tomorrow. What awaited him was the cumbersome ceremony of worshiping the heavens and the etiquette of the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager.

It was late at night, and the snow outside the warm pavilion was still rinsing. I curled up in the soft and thick brocade quilt, and the slight breathing sound of Jinxi's sleep slowly came into his ears. The quiet night was too quiet, but it made people feel restless.

The pair of candles under the west window are still bright and bright. Xuan Ling and I used to cut candles here to appreciate the stars. Why should we cut candles in the west window together? I suddenly remembered that the person who had just talked to me about the night rain in Bashan at the dinner party was Xuanqing.
