Chapter 20 Kite Mistakes

Since I had this child in my belly, the novelty and prosperity of life always made me happy and amazed. I have nothing to do in a quiet day, and I always like to put my hands on my lower abdomen, gently and cautiously, for fear that the weight of my hands would also press on him. Devour novel www. Gradually develop such a habitual posture, half of it is care and half of it is protection.

The spring sunshine shines into the house from the bright cloud-silk window screen that is as thin as a cicada's wing. The window screen is as thin as ice, as if it has condensed countless golden lights. The bright light in the palace looks particularly wide and spacious. The sunlight shines slowly on the few newly blooming light red peach blossoms inserted in the beauty goblet of Ru kiln on the table. The fresh color is fascinating.

I used a few colors of pastries on the table and picked up a book to read.

Chunerba hugged her hands and looked out at the endless spring scenery outside the window. After watching for a long time, she suddenly pouted and muttered: "There are walls on all sides, so there is nothing good to look at."

Seeing me sitting in silence, she said with great enthusiasm: "Today's sun is so good. Should I accompany me to fly kites? I left two beautiful kites for my sister's birthday two days ago."

I put the book down and said with a smile: "Your temperament can never be quiet and you will never be at peace. I heard that I had smashed an enamel screen that the emperor admired yesterday when I was 'Catching Qi'1' in your own place."

Chun'er stuck out her tongue, "The emperor won't blame me." She laughed and twisted her legs and said, "It's okay for my sister to go out to relax, and it's too lazy to be with others all the time. I wonder if my little nephew will be a lazy guy when he goes to the field?"

I couldn't help laughing, looking at the fact that it was spring and Jingming outside the window, and said, "Okay, I'm still bored all day long." The spring scenery is like a painting, and I don't want to stroll in it, but my wounds are afraid of dust. In addition, Du Liangdi's incident made me feel scared, so I called people to follow me, took the veil and covered my face before going out together.

I chose an empty place in Shanglinyuan. Chun'er's kite flew very well, and it flew very high without the help of the little insulator. I think I was used to this skill at home when I was young. Above the lush grass, I could only hear her crisp laughter clattering like a wind chime swaying lightly between the eaves. She saw the kite flying high, laughing and shouting, very proud.

She was naturally proud. She was the youngest among the favored concubines. Xuanling has always been indulged in her. In addition, I am pregnant and should not serve Xuanling often. Xuanling often stays with her because of being close. Recently, Xuanling also said that when Chun'er turns 16, she will be appointed as a concubine.

I looked up at the kite that was already a little black in the clear sky. I remembered the afternoon of childhood spring. I was so bored that I almost dozed off at home. My head was shaking like pecking rice. My brother suddenly reached into half of my head from outside the window of the boudoir and said with a smile: "Sister, let's sneak out of the house to fly kites?"

The spring breeze greens the willows year after year. When I was a child, I always flew away from my fingers at an incredible speed. It seemed that I just flew a kite with my brother, dyed a few nails with the phoenix flowers in the courtyard, and secretly took a nap under the nose of Master Sissi. Under the grape trellis, counting the magpies and watching the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have passed the Chinese Valentine's Day. These carefree years have passed quietly.

Now, I am about to become a mother. I looked at Chun'er with a smile. Among the concubines in the harem, she was so bright, like a bright sunshine in the spring. And I gradually endured it into a bright moon. Even if it was clear, it belonged to the night and was obscure.

I stroked my slightly bulging belly with my hands, which was actually very inconspicuous. It would be great if my child was as lively and bright as Chun'er, but it would be fine. It would be fine. The emperor is fine, but if it is a prince, innocence is absolutely not suitable.

With a smile on my face, I suddenly heard Chun'er exclaiming, and the kite in her hand was broken, and the kite was rushing out from afar. Chun'er was anxious and was about to go and search. I hurried to Xiaolizi: "Follow up with your little master and help her find the kite."

Xiao Lizi agreed to "yes" and wanted to follow me. Chun'er stomped her feet and pouted and shouted, "Don't follow one! Sister, they will only get in the way." Chun'er is just a child's character, but she is also very good at getting angry, so several palace servants had to stop and hesitate when they looked at me. I saw that the kite was not far away, and I couldn't persuade her, so I had to follow her. Seeing that she pulled her feet and left, I told a few small internal supervisors to follow her far away.

Willows are planted all over the Taiye Pool. At this time, the willow branches are covered with tender yellow and tender green leaves, and even the air is furnished into smoke. The thin willows hang in. The calm lake surface is stirred by the breeze. Willow catkins fly like snow, and a green peach blossom reflects the edge of the pool. The wind blows down the broken red and falls into the blue waves, and the rippling water is filled with fragrance. A palace maid rows a boat and plays happily. She breaks willow branches and makes a garland and wears it on her head. The laughter comes from afar. I feel tired after looking at it for a while, so I sit and rest on the feldstones under the peach tree.

The spring is so intoxicating, but I don’t know how many thrilling there are in this intoxicating person. I suddenly remembered the danger of enjoying flowers in the queen’s harem, and the hands that pushed me out behind me.

Afterwards, I had an open and secret investigation, but I couldn't find out the traces of that person. No wonder, I was in a panic at that time, and who would pay attention to which hands behind me pushed me into danger.

However, I didn't really know who it was. Afterwards, I remembered that the fragrance in the belt was familiar to me, but she forgot such details. However, I was so patient and unreliable. One reason was that there was no conclusive evidence, and the other reason was that this person might be of great use to me in the future.

My afterglow suddenly rolled up and touched a cherry-red floating shadow. Before I could speak, Jinxi beside me respectfully greeted me: "Good Concubine Cao Jie." Her eyes turned slightly, and she was facing the deep and narrow eyes.

Cao Qinmo only wore a silver-white inner suit outlined with treasure-like patterns, and a layer of translucent light cherry red crepes on the outside. He held a moon-white handkerchief in his hand. Yingying smiled and asked me to her: "Guin Guan Guan Jin'an."

I reached out to help her: "Sister Cao get up, why should I be so polite?"

She smiled and her eyebrows were clean. In fact, her appearance was just a middle-class posture, but her smile added a gentle look. Such a simple but bright costume color also made her feel touching. She smiled and said, "I don't want to meet the noble concubine here."

I sat down with her and signaled that Jinxi and others to stay away from home and not be allowed to hear us. I smiled and said, "I'm not unfamiliar with me, so I'd better call my sister."

She saw me sitting alone with her with everyone, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "My sister hasn't seemed to go out since she was pregnant, so she was extra careful. Why don't she let everyone go now?"

My eyes were slightly fond, and I chuckled, "Sister Cao is joking, why would I be worried? If my sister is with me, I will naturally be my sister's fault. Of course, my sister will take care of her with all her strength. Besides..." I smiled slightly, and my eyes seemed to sweep over her unintentionally, "No one will push me here."

Cao Jieyu was slightly stunned, but she didn't change her color at all. She smiled like a flower and said, "Sister is really good at joking. Who dares to push you? I'm afraid you don't dare to stretch out your finger?" She said in surprise: "Was my sister pushed me when?" She stroked her hand to her chest and said in a frightened manner: "Is it true that sister doesn't know, did you tell the emperor?"

She was so waterless. For a moment, I thought I was suspicious of the wrong person. However, I was sure that I gave the things that Xuan Ling admired me to her privately. How dare she give them to others? I would not smell the smell of honey fragrance.

Thinking of this, I didn't agree. I just said casually, like gossiping, "Is Emperor Wen Yi in good health recently?"

She immediately became alert, like a female bird protecting her chicks, and said, "The Concubine is worried, Wen Yi just had a little cough, it's okay."

I said unintentionally: "Yes. As long as I don't encounter any mistakes in cassava flour or something, the princess's daughter's body will definitely be fine."

Her expression suddenly shook, no longer as calm as before, and said embarrassedly: "The emperor has dealt with Xiao Tang who made the wrong cassava flour. I think this will never happen again."

I smiled and said, "I hope this is the case. Now I am about to become a mother, and I can especially understand the mood of being a mother. It is very difficult for Sister Cao to raise the Emperor. I heard that my sister was still having a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to the Emperor, which was extremely dangerous."

She was slightly moved: "It is indeed very difficult to be a mother. You have to worry about her at all times. If she feels a little uncomfortable, I will feel as uncomfortable as if I am heartbroken and would rather bear the pain for her."

I nodded and looked at her eyes straight, "Sister Cao is a very smart person, so he naturally knows how to raise the princess. This doesn't require my sister to say too much. Just my sister reminds her that it's good to get someone's blessing, but it depends on who is it? Otherwise, if you suffer from it, you will be unable to say it."

She was stunned, with a little displeasure and said, "Sister is stupid, I don't understand what the noble sister said."

I brushed the fallen flowers on my body with a handkerchief and slowly laughed: "Sister doesn't understand, my sister doesn't understand even more. But my sister understands the same thing. Empress Hua searched for the chrysanthemum hall that day, but someone could go with the flow. Although it was not for helping me, I also received her love." Seeing her face change drastically, I smiled more relaxed: "My sister also knows one thing, and having sex with tigers will not end up being a good person, and abandoning darkness and turning to light is the best way to protect herself and others - my sister naturally knows how to choose good birds and trees to live on."

Her expression was gloomy and sunny. After several changes, it was still as usual, "Is it light or dark or unknown?" She was silent for a moment, as if hesitating, and finally revealed a few words: "Go and take a look." She said and left in a hurry.

I heard it for no reason. Seeing the sun setting, I suddenly remembered that after so long, no one of the people who went to pick up kites with Chun'er was back. At that time, the setting sun was like fire, shining on the green peach tree like blood squirting. I felt ominous in my heart, and immediately ordered people to search everywhere.

Chun'er was found soon.

At night, Jinxi came back to report with unconcealed sadness and shock. I was shocked when she heard her heavy steps, but she did not have the worst plan - at most, she had made a mistake and was beaten by a concubine.

However, after silence, Jinxi was still in a sad silence, and the side hall where Chun'er lived next to her had already heard the depressed cry and sadness of the palace servants.

I fell heavily on the chair.

Jinxi only said one sentence, "Fang Liangyuan drowned in Taiye Pool. When she found it, she was still holding a broken kite in her hand."

I was almost stunned, and there was a warm liquid on my cheeks that kept rolling down, so sour and hard to say. How could I believe it? Chun'er, who was still jumping happily in the afternoon, has become a cold and lifeless corpse drowned in the Taili pond. Chun'er, she is only fifteen years old! How could I believe it? How could I accept it?

Not long ago, she was still flying kites in Shanglinyuan; she was playing "Catching Qi" and smashing the screen; she was still waiting to be named a concubine when she was sixteen years old; she was still eating the exquisite pastries I prepared for her and telling jokes; she also told me that she wanted to be the concubine of my child in her belly, and the jade pendant that was settling for her was still there, but she suddenly disappeared...

Seeing that my face was wrong, Jinxi hurriedly pushed me in panic, but I still refused to believe it. Until it was said that Chun'er's body had been put into Yannian Hall, I was as thorny as I cried out "wow", pushed the person away and ran out.

Seeing that I couldn't stop me, Jinxi hurriedly called people. I rushed to the door of the hall. Xiao Yunziheng knelt in front of me to block the way, and said in a hurry: "Empress! Empress! You can't go! The emperor said that you are a man with a body who can't stand this and went to Yannian Palace! Empress!"

While speaking, Jinxi had already chased me out and hugged my legs desperately and shouted: "Empress thinks twice. If you go like this, you will only be shocked. Please consider the flesh and blood in your belly. You really can't see this!"

The night wind hurt my eyes, and I burst into tears. They carried me back to the bedroom. I didn't say anything anymore, but just held the mutton fat jade pendant given by Chun'er and kept crying silently. Xuan Ling got the news and hurried to comfort me and not allow me to go out. He was also sad and sighed. I couldn't sleep repeatedly, regretted not to go out with her, and shouldn't indulge her to pick up the kite alone and let the inner supervisor follow him from afar. Xuan Ling couldn't, so he had to ask the imperial doctor to give me some sleeping medicine to stop.

Xuan Ling promised to be extremely mournful and honored, and pronounced Chun'er as a concubine, and ordered the funeral to be managed according to the rituals of noble concubines.

He reluctantly calmed down and went to Yannian Palace to guard Chun'er despite Xuan Ling's dissuasion. The snow-white spiritual banners in the dim hall fluttered, and the smell of incense and candles was silently filled with people. No matter how bright the candle fire was, it had a more gloomy atmosphere. The palace servants in Chun'er's palace were lying on the ground and burning paper money for her. Several palace concubines who were lower than Chun'er were crying silently.

When I saw the snow-white spiritual curtain, my heart felt sorrowful, and tears had already flowed down. I took the incense and candle to offer it, waved to several palace concubines and said, "You are tired too, let's go down first."

They were not familiar with Chun'er, and they couldn't help but feel jealous when they saw her young man being favored. They just had to be ordered to guard the spiritual throne. They wanted to leave with a word. After hearing what I said, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Chun'er's body was kept in the spiritual tent. Because of the swelling after soaking in the water, there was no painful expression on her face, as if she was asleep on weekdays.

I felt very sad and bit the silk and sobbed. Late at night, there was a quiet sound around me besides crying. Suddenly, a figure walked up to me, holding the corner of my robe, kowtowed with grief: "Please make the decision for my lady."

I looked closely and saw who was not the maid Cui Yu who brought to the palace by Chun'er. I hurriedly pulled her up and said, "What's going on? Tell me slowly!"

Cuiyu refused to get up, and no one looked around and said boldly: "If you go back to the queen, my lady will be killed!"

Chun'er died suddenly, and I had a great doubt in my heart and said to Cuiyu: "This is not something I said randomly."

Cuiyu's eyes widened, she suppressed her grief and anger, and kowtowed twice and said, "My lady grew up by the lake since she was a child. She is very familiar with water and will never drown. I really think the lady's death is strange!"

Originally, Chun'er was so sad that she died of sudden death. She gradually calmed down and became more clear-minded. She felt that there were too many wrong things in the middle. She summoned her to ask Chun'er's internal supervisor that day. They all said that Chun'er ran too fast after picking up the kite. After passing Zhichun Pavilion, she disappeared and could not find her everywhere. It was not until later that she found her in Taiye Pool.

Everyone said that she was in trouble. Now it seems really suspicious. I suddenly remembered Cao Jieyu's words similar to reminder. The white candle fire in front of me shook, and I felt a cold war in my heart - she knew something!

Perhaps, her appearance in Shanglinyuan was just to hold back my steps and prevent me from discovering that Chun'er had not returned so quickly.

I felt very hatred in my heart, and I was so proud that I could not ask anything even if I asked Cao Jieyu.

He forced himself to hold down the fanatical hatred and asked Cuiyu: "Do you have any evidence?"

Cui Yu's eyes turned red in an instant, but she was unwilling to give up and said angrily: "No."

I was sad, and under my sadness, I felt wronged and unwilling for Chun'er. She was only fifteen years old, as young as a flower bud, and I should have been laughing at her parents' carefree and carefree.

I was silent for a while, trying to suppress the sorrow and hatred in my heart, helped Cui Yu up, took a breath and said: "Now, you must not speak nonsense without any evidence. You come to my palace to serve you first, and let's wait for the opportunity." Cui Yu didn't say anything in tears, and she was helpless after all.

Outside the hall is endless darkness late at night, and even a bright moon of half a moon cannot illuminate the heavy darkness and the sadness of death. The huge harem is as quiet as a tomb, with the bone-eating coldness, and the chill accumulated by countless unjust souls. Even the two immortal palace lanterns outside the Yannian Hall are like phosphorus fire, and are the ghost's eyes. A sharp hatred appears in my eyes, looking at Chun'er's body and saying, "If your lady is really harmed, I will definitely avenge her and will never let her die in vain!"

On the day of the funeral, the queen and the concubines of each palace came to Yannian Hall. I endured my grief and took the dress that had been prepared long ago to change the dead Chun'er.

When the queen saw me changing my clothes for Chun'er, she stood beside me and kept crying. She sighed and said softly: "Fang Liangyuan entered the palace with only a few years now? She is in her good years and is very pity for the emperor. Why did she go there suddenly? It's really a pity!"

Concubine Hua also sighed: "It's a pity that she is so young!"

Concubine Hua, Concubine Xu, Concubine Jing, Concubine Cao Jie and others were wiped away their tears. I had stopped crying and looked coldly at Concubine Hua who was standing far away while wiping tears while wiping away tears, feeling indescribable boredom and hatred.

At this time, Xuan Ling's decree arrived, which was the Ministry of Rites, and copied it to the six palaces: "The Liangyuan Fang family is yi Fan Yuxiu, four virtues are prepared, and she respects the teachings of Suzao, and shows the appearance of Henghuang. Now that he has passed away, I am grateful to him. He is particularly respectful to Chongli, and to show his virtuousness and wisdom all day long, so he posthumously named Chunpin... All the deeds are like the rituals of noble concubines. 2" and ordered the coffin to be moved to Taifeiling seven days later with the previous Concubine De, and the Concubine Xian and several concubines who died early were buried together.

This man has passed away, and all Xuan Ling can do is this. There are constant low-key palace concubines whispering, celebrating Chun'er: It's not in vain to be so mournful after death! But for me, I would rather Chun'er have no such false reputation and status as long as she lives well.

In a trance, as if she was still in my palace, she suddenly pointed to the crabapple tree, tilted her head and smiled, "Sister, can I go and break a flower?" It was so lively and friendly.

I knew it was her, so I turned my eyes and looked at Hua Fei and clenched my fingers. This was the living life that died beside me. If there were any hands and feet that caused Chun'er to die, I would definitely get it all back!
