Hongde Longqiu stretched out. Last night he and his sixth brother discussed the matter of military deployment until late at night. Concubine Yue woke him up early in the morning. After comforting him, he and Xiao Zhao came to the Imperial Garden. There was no need for him today.
In the morning, he could take some time off. He stood by Kangding Lake, looking at the lake surface swaying slightly in the wind. He suddenly found that he was not as obsessed with Yue Fei recently as before. Now all he could think about was that
Where is the owner of the curlers hiding?
After finishing the last action, Meng Xinzhu walked into the pavilion while turning her neck. She picked up the book on the stone table. She glanced at the place where she hid the medicine and couldn't help but smile. Yesterday's imperial army did not search the pond because they would not
Some people think that medicinal materials should be hidden in water, but her thinking is different from theirs. It is the unexpected that can achieve the best results.
Ru'er came to the pavilion with tea and said, "Madam, Eunuch Chen brought a fish today, what flavor do you want to eat?"
Meng Xinzhu looked at her and smiled, "Any taste is fine, why do you think of making fish to eat today?" In the past few days since she came, the Zhuyuan has basically served vegetarian dishes, and this is the first time that meat dishes are served.
"Mother, have you forgotten?" Ru'er blinked, "Today is your birthday!"
Meng Xinzhu was stunned. Today is the birthday of Concubine Zhu! She looked at the magnolia tree, and the magnolia flowers had begun to wither. She looked back at Ru'er who was looking at her, "Yes, today is my birthday."
, in a blink of an eye, I’m another year older.”
"My Majesty, from what you said, why are you getting old again? My Majesty, you are getting younger and younger recently, your smiles are getting more and more, and you are becoming more and more beautiful."
Meng Xinzhu smiled slightly, said a few more words to Ru'er, and then let her go down. Meng Xinzhu put down her book, walked to the magnolia tree, picked up a petal of a flower, "Sister Zhu Fei, today I celebrate your birthday."
Hongde Longqiu ascended the throne at the age of seventeen and has been the emperor for twelve years. His diligence has been recognized by everyone. It is the first time that he got up early in the morning and went to the imperial garden without doing anything like today.
, Eunuch Ming and Xiao Zhao followed him quietly.
Xiao Zhao knew that the emperor was currently worried about the use of troops in the northwest, and was also thinking about the mysterious woman. He only regretted that he was incompetent and could not catch the woman earlier. This was the first time in his life that he felt frustrated. He was really eager to catch her now.
He came to that woman not only because the emperor wanted her, but he also wanted to see the true appearance of this person and see what kind of person he was defeated by.
After lunch, Hongde and Longqiu went to the palace wall where he met the woman the night before. He looked at the place where he kissed her, smiled, and continued walking in the direction of her escape. How long did he walk?
Long Qiu didn't know anymore, but he suddenly stopped and looked around, and realized that it was already dark, and the place he was in was so strange. He had never been there before. It turned out that there was such a place in the palace.
.
"What palace is here?"
"Go back to the emperor," Eunuch Ming stepped forward and responded, "If you go any further, you will be in the cold palace."
"Leng Palace?" Hongde Longqiu frowned. He had walked so far today and reached the most remote part of the palace. He shook his head, waved his hand, "Go back..." He suddenly stopped, and he heard bursts of
The sound of the piano was accompanied by singing, and he couldn't hear it clearly because it was too far away, but the deep sadness in the music was so gripping that he couldn't help but search for the sound.
The most taboo thing in the palace is to worship privately. Once discovered, it will definitely lead to death. Meng Xinzhu has seen this a lot from TV dramas, so after dark, she ordered Eunuch Chen to go to the palace gate and burn it under the magnolia tree.
With a stick of incense, I also brought out the piano left by the Bamboo Concubine. In the book, there is a treasure jade offering sacrifices to Qingwen, and in the play, there is a treasure jade worshiping Daiyu. Now I am also following the example of the ancients, using flowers instead of people to offer sacrifices to the departed Bamboo Concubine.
previous piece:
"When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity them when the red color disappears and the fragrance disappears?"
The soft hairspring ties the floating spring pavilion, and the fallen catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtains.
Three hundred and sixty days a year, wind, sword, frost and sword force each other;
How long can the bright beauty last? It’s hard to find it once you’re wandering.”
Hongde Longqiu walked to the gate of Zhuyuan and saw that the palace door was closed tightly. From inside came the faint sound of the piano and the sad singing:
"Flowers are easy to see when they bloom but hard to find when they are gone. I worry about killing and burying flowers in front of the steps.
I secretly shed tears while hoeing flowers alone, and sprinkled the empty branches with traces of blood.
May I have wings under my wings and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky.
The end of the sky! Where is the fragrant hill?
It is not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, but a cup of pure soil to cover up the wind;
It is better to come and go clean again than to be filthy and fall into ditches."
Hongde Longqiu could no longer stand and flew over the wall. Xiao Zhao also flew in, while Ming Gonggong stood quietly outside the door. Hongde Longqiu fell to the ground silently and saw clearly three people standing by the pond.
Judging from the clothes, they should be eunuchs and palace maids, and a woman in white is sitting under a magnolia tree with her back to him, playing the piano. It seems that the singing comes from her mouth.
Meng Xinzhu played another passage and then sang:
"If you die now, you will be buried. I don't know when you will be buried."
People who are buried with flowers today are laughing like idiots. Do you know who they will be buried with next year?
The end of the sky! Where is the fragrant hill?
Look at the spring flowers gradually falling, it is the time when the beauty dies of old age,
Once the spring is gone, the beauty will grow old, and the flowers will fall and people will die without knowing it!"
Hongde Longqiu secretly sighed in his heart, it was such a good song and lyrics. Looking at the petals scattered around the woman, he couldn't help but smile. Although this woman was sentimental, she was really talented. She actually used a few scattered petals to
, pouring out his frustrations, and composing such a sad and sad song. His concubine Yue was the most skilled singer and dancer in the palace, but she could not sing with such graceful diction.
A good song with sonorous music. Why did he only meet such a talented person today?
"Sister Zhu Fei," Meng Xinzhu put her hands on the piano, looked up at the starry sky, and said silently in her heart, "Although this song "The Burial of Flowers" is not about the life of people in the palace, I think it is very suitable for you today.
I sing this song as a sacrifice on your birthday. I hope you can hear it. The past is gone and cannot be traced back. I hope you can forget all the unhappiness in this life and live happily where you are now."
Eunuch Chen and others heard the sadness in the song, and Ru'er stepped forward and said softly: "Empress, today is your birthday. You should be happy. Why do you think about sad things? Didn't you say that you have forgotten all the unhappiness in the past?
, live every day happily.”
Meng Xinzhu turned to look at her, Ru'er, Ru'er, how did you know that I was singing for your true wife. "Ru'er, this palace is not for myself. Today is a life sacrifice for a good sister. There are many taboos in the palace.
, I can only burn incense and sing a song to comfort the spirits in heaven."
