King's man

The winter in the entire imperial palace, like being hidden by snow, passed away silently and silently.Even Concubine Mei, who has always been ostentatious, is rarely at peace.But there is one thing that breaks this frozen time, like the face-changing of Sichuan opera, it turns into spring in an instant.The queen is pregnant.This incident was spread all over the imperial palace, and then swept across the entire capital with the spring breeze, awakening the vitality of this country and this land.The return of spring.

A pool of spring water in Yunyin Lake is wrinkled by the spring breeze, sparkling in the morning sun, and the water flowers are bright and dazzling where the water and light meet. , then flashes.One after another, like the sound of wind chimes ringing.Wuxiu Mountain by the lake is looming in the clouds and mist, and the birdsong is melodious when it is hidden, and the green hills are now green.The two golden brocades in the Hall of Xiuxin practiced their voices happily in the morning sun.One sings "Drizzle and slanting wind makes morning cold, light smoke and sparse willows beautify the clear beach", while the other does not pick it up, as if extremely unconvinced, singing to itself "White sand embankment in the shade of green willows, only shallow grass has no horseshoes" , with a fresh and bright voice, raised his head to the sun, and looked at the blue sky with his eyes, very proud.All of this should be in line with the joy of Lanxiang Palace.

All the concubines in the harem rushed to Lanxiang Palace to congratulate, and the courtyard was overcrowded for a while, and there was endless noise and laughter.The Eternal Light Palace has been quiet since Emperor Xihe came to the throne, and this time it was bustling like it hadn't been in a long time, and everyone in the palace felt even more lively.Amidst the flowers, Chen Huilan was wearing a hematoxylin-colored long dress and sitting under the hibiscus tree in front of the hall. The fresh green hibiscus leaves spread above her head, and the rising sun cast bright spots on her forehead and nose through the branches and leaves. Looking up at the laughing crowd in the courtyard, his expression was gentle and serene, his eyes were gentle and filled with hope.

For a moment, Mingxin handed the gift to Mo He and went straight to Chen Huilan, "My maidservant congratulates the Empress Dowager first!" Then she saluted, and was supported by the Empress. I have been looking forward to children and grandchildren for a long time, and I am very happy to hear the news that my empress is happy. I was going to visit my empress in person today. After drinking a bowl of soup in the morning, the clinker probably got cold, so I felt a little uncomfortable. That's why I couldn't come. The empress dowager Let me bring supplements for nourishing the body and preventing miscarriage, and also said that the empress can take care of it with peace of mind, and you can tell the imperial dining room what you want to eat, and you don't have to worry about other things!"

Empress Chen heard Ming Xin finished a series of words neatly, and replied, "It's my concubine's disrespect, I should have gone to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Mingxin smiled knowingly, her eyes were clear, "Since the Empress Dowager has ordered, the empress does not need to be polite. The servants are also looking forward to the early birth of the dragon son! The empress rests, and the servants are leaving." Chen Huilan smiled, "Miss, go slowly!" Yan Bi looked at Ming Xin's disappearing figure, and felt that this girl was really cute. The Queen Mother had always kept the Buddha aloof from the world, so it was rare that Ming Xin was so smart and could always take care of her.I also saw Mo He Suju and Nuan Yu Yingxiu, who were busy and orderly in the courtyard, all of them were beautiful and outstanding, and I deeply felt that every woman has her beauty and love.Thinking of this in his heart, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Qingping just left the Hall of Cultivating Heart, on the way to Lanxiang Palace.Walking halfway, I saw that the cherry blossoms in the high wall on the right were about to bloom. They were a little pink, lying on the branches, and I always felt delicate and soft.Can't help but look a few more times.When I continued walking, I remembered that the cherry blossoms were from Yueying Garden.Yueying Garden is the closest to Lanxiang Palace.Sure enough, he soon reached the gate of Lanxiang Palace.Just as he was about to go in, he saw Nuan Yu coming out of the courtyard.Before Qingping could speak, Nuan Yu said first, "I didn't expect Mr. Qingping to join in the fun!" Qingping lowered her head and smiled.Before coming here, I thought that I might meet her here, but Nuanyu was alone, which showed that she didn't like to join in the fun after all, so she seemed ridiculous. "I don't know how the imperial concubine is doing these days?" Nuan Yu asked, remembering the last time she took the wind to wash away the dust, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Our empress is busy. Concubine Lan asks her to learn the piano all day long, but she teaches it well. Use your heart!" After speaking, he didn't stay any longer and walked away.

When Qingping entered the courtyard of Lanxiang Palace, Chen Huilan had already moved back into the palace.He handed over the gifts he brought to Su Ju, and followed Mo He into the main hall.In the main hall, Empress Chen held a blue and white porcelain bowl in her hand. The bowl looked like medicine, and Qingping guessed it was probably for miscarriage.But seeing her pick it up and drink it lightly, she rinsed her mouth again.There is a sense of calmness in the prudent action.What was rare was that Concubine Yu was there, sitting on the empress' right side, sipping a cup of tea carefully.Her lips are full and her fingers are slender.At this time, seeing Qingping coming in, she got up to make a resignation. "Seeing that my sister is in good spirits, my sister is happy for her. Take care of my sister, I will leave first!" Although it was a scene, Yu Wanying's lips were smiling and her eyes were shining, but she said it very sincerely.Yan Bi turned around and left, the moment she turned around, she finally took a look at Qingping.This glance seemed to contain words, but it seemed hesitant to speak.But she seemed to be very happy.Qingping was secretly surprised.

Qingping thought it was a surprise that she failed to meet Du Jinghong, but met Yu Wanying during this trip.I also saw that the queen's face was ruddy and her cheeks were plump. She also seemed to be smiling when she was quiet, with a clear glow like a full moon.In a good mood, I walked away with light steps and windy legs.She had already passed by, she shouldn't have heard it, but Qingping just heard the voices of the maids whispering inside the wall:

"She is also really strange. She doesn't want to get pregnant, but she cares so much about the queen's pregnancy!"

"That's right. Originally, she should be the first to conceive in this palace. Back then, the emperor favored her. If she hadn't drunk that kind of medicine privately, why would she be here today!"

"What's strange, she must have regretted it. What woman doesn't have a dream of being a husband and a child, and growing old!" The last person who spoke was an elderly voice, with an understatement, but there were a few traces of it. Vicissitudes.There was silence.Everyone is immersed in their own thoughts.In this silence, Qingping felt that her eyes were full of desolation.

After being stunned for a moment, Qingping continued to walk back to the Hall of Cultivating Heart.Along the way, they couldn't stop thinking about it. Concubine Yu was the only one who was favored in this palace. They said that she took the contraceptive pill privately, and now she regrets it.It turned out that her fall out of favor stemmed from this.After all, what was she thinking?She glanced at herself in the queen's hall, what did she want to say to him?You should go see her.

Qingping will not have time to go to Yueying Garden in the future.Because there will be a banquet in the palace for the next three days, and the ministers will celebrate together.The assistant prime minister really had a good time, he was refreshed from the inside out, and his body became more rigid; the sadness in the uncle Guo's heart was hidden behind the laughter on the face, and it was hard to see clearly; Dongwang has always been calm, this time He also bears the brunt of congratulating each other with heavy gifts, and the expression of joy is extremely strong, and there is nothing else.Qingping never saw Murongsu during this feast.Just wondering, his gift arrived.People say that the disease has not yet arrived.

The emperor celebrated with great fanfare at the Water Banquet, while giving Lanxiang Palace a steady stream of rewards.However, in Lanxiang Palace, his figure has not arrived for a long time.The queen mother has also come to comfort her.He didn't wait until Yang Xian.There is a little drop-like shadow floating in the large expanse of brilliance.In fact, she has already forgiven.

"My brother has seen the empress!" Chen Wensheng escaped from the banquet and went to Lanxiang Palace to visit Chen Huilan. "Come in and sit down," Chen Huilan said, pulling Chen Wensheng to sit beside her.Seeing her younger brother at this time, she felt very kind. "Sister, you don't know how much the emperor attaches importance to this child, he is always in high spirits during the banquet!" After speaking, he moved closer, just looked at Chen Huilan and smiled.Chen Huilan understood, "What else can you tell me?" Chen Wensheng smiled and said, "Because the emperor is in a good mood, my sister will also give me some kind words in front of him!" After hearing this, Chen Huilan replied: "Just a younger brother like you, Of course I will do my best." But he was thinking in his heart that it would be better if he had a chance to meet the emperor first.When Chen Wensheng saw this, he was overjoyed, "It's better to be a sister. Father let you have a healthy life, and you don't have to worry about other things." After speaking, he still went, completely unaware that he had already worried about the queen.

Before the banquet was over, Qing Ping had a few drinks with her, and she avoided the banquet with the cherry blossoms in mind.Choose a path to the east.Qingping noticed the shadow that moved with her, looked up, the night sky was quiet and clear like water, a full moon stood in the sky, the bright moonlight radiated thousands of miles, reflecting the whole world as clear as water.The moon shines on the deep wall, leaving a shadow on the road, half of the road is dark and half bright, stretching far away.Qingping and his shadow are also going away on this road.

The palace gate of Yueyingyuan was closed tightly, and it was extremely quiet.Qingping raised her hand to knock on the door, the voice was very clear, a little hasty, only three or two times, and then hesitated, after a moment of silence, she felt even colder.The emperor held a banquet, and all the second-class and lower maids in the harem were on duty, so Qingping buckled a few times before seeing anyone come to open it.When the door opened, it was Yingxiu who was standing inside the door.Seeing that it was Qingping who came, she immediately turned her face away, stood stiffly for a moment, then reluctantly moved to let him in, still closed the door, got up and went back into the hall.Never said a word.Qingping stood there in a daze for a long while, watching her figure gradually fade away in the moonlight, it seemed a bit bitter.Watching the figure from the back enter the hall, break away from the white moonlight, and bathe in the yellow candlelight, Qingping came back to her senses.In fact, at that moment, he thought of those smiling crescent eyes under the bright sunshine, brighter than the sun and warmer than candlelight.He looks away.

Yueyingyuan is not big.When Qingping shifted her gaze to another place, she saw the cherry blossoms at a glance.He was taken aback.It has only been two days, and it has already bloomed so prosperously, as if I have been waiting for a thousand years for this blooming; and it seems to be carefully prepared for a thousand years.The white dots are tangled into flowers, clustered into branches, and branches are blooming into pieces, blooming in the night sky and stretching under the moonlight.Kazuki's light and slender petals stretched out, and Kazuki's pure and soft brilliance, so light, so beautiful, so prosperous!Qingping's whole heart trembled, and she couldn't look away for a moment.

"This flower is the most delicate, one side is just open, and the other side has already drifted away. If you come two days later, you won't be able to see it." The voice of the voice was mellow and pleasant.When Yu Wanying's voice sounded, Qingping didn't realize when she was behind her.He turned his head and saw that she was also looking up at the cherry tree.The moonlight shone on her face, making her complexion clearer and more beautiful.Willow leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, exquisite nose, slender chin, soft and beautiful beyond description.It could be seen that she hadn't slept yet and her makeup was still on.The blue silk is lightly drawn, only a purple jade lotus flower is worn on the left temple, and a string of pearls hangs below, falling to the ear.The earlobes have very small piercings and are not decorated.

Qingping turned her head, still facing Sakura.In fact, Yu Wanying was still a few steps away from him, and the moonlight was so bright that she could see it so clearly, as if she was right beside her. "This tree must be decades old, right? The flowers should bloom year after year." He opened his mouth, still talking about the tree flowers.

"I don't know how long it will be. It will be there when I come." Yu Wanying said, she walked a few steps closer to the tree, and a branch of flowers stretched out across her head.Qingping thought she would reach out to touch the flower branch, but she didn't.She just stood quietly, letting the flower look beautiful on top of her head.Qingping couldn't help but want to pluck one and put it on her temples.He walked over and chose a cherry blossom with five petals between his fingers, glittering and dotted. He looked at the cherry blossom, fearing that it would melt like snow.He raised his hand, touched the hair between his fingers, and placed the flower on the blue hair.Black hair, pink and white flowers, relatively safe.Yu Wanying was frightened, she turned her head to look at him, the flower also seemed to be frightened, it fell from the bun, slid across her beautiful forehead, reddish cheeks, and landed on her collar.In an instant, it seemed to blend with her plain silver clothes, making it almost impossible to find.

Startled, Yu Wanying looked at him bewilderedly.After such a long time, I still feel in a trance, thinking that he is that person.

There used to be a person who gave her temple hairpins under the cherry tree.It was a spring morning.He stayed here overnight, and after getting up in the morning to wash up, he saw her standing under the cherry blossom tree, so he came over and hugged her. "Yakko, even your name is the same as this flower. It's so beautiful! Only the name of this flower is worthy of you." He whispered in her ear. "It's because His Majesty loves his concubines, that's why he said that." She responded, trembling slightly in his arms. "Cold?" he asked, hugging her tighter.She was even more guilty, she shouldn't be thinking of another person in his arms. "Wait a minute!" He let go of his arms, said happily, stretched out his hand to pick two flowers, carefully placed them on her hair bun, then turned his head to look, thinking it was right, looked at her with a smile.This emperor, who has power over the world and manages every day, also has such a childlike side.she thinks.My heart is soft, and I can't help being a little moved.She used to hate him, but he didn't know anything, and he was always so kind to her. Gradually, his kindness moved her a little, but the more he was moved, the more sad she was.Why is it not that person who is by my side?She wished so much that he was the one who made hairpins for her and hugged her.Murong Su.The people around her didn't know what she was thinking, so they held her hand and led her back indoors. "Chunhan, let's go back!" he said.He was so kind to her, and she felt guilty again.With a gentle smile, he covered up the worry on his brows, and let him go.Who is by his side now?Will he think of her too?Walking to the door, she looked back at the cherry tree and the morning light behind the cherry blossoms.

"You're still thinking about him." Qingping's voice brushed away her memories.

"Never have to think about it. It's there." She turned away.

"It's because of him that you don't want to have children, right?" Qing Ping regretted her rashness as soon as she said that.Seeing her figure stop at the falling sound, she wanted to turn around, but she didn't.Just over half.Qingping could only see her silhouette.But see her looking at the high deep wall.He followed her gaze and saw the moon shadow of cherry blossoms cast on the wall.And her shadows, Niao Na and Ping Ting.The bun is sideways, and the hanging beads are clearly reflected on the hairline.He saw a bead-shaped light shadow slipping past, just passing by the string of bead shadows, the drop shadows seemed to be pierced up and connected into a line, and in an instant, it turned away and dripped.Another drop, repeating the process.He saw a petal of cherry blossoms falling, drifting past her bun and disappearing, a little flying shadow reappeared, passed by the string of pearl shadows, connected into a line, deviated again, and fell off.

Qingping felt uncontrollable sentimentality in her heart.The moon is still so bright and bright. It has been shining for thousands of years, and it has also illuminated Qianjiang.The moon is in charge of the changes of the tides, and it also controls the emotions of life, right?The wild wolf howls at the moon, the mermaid streams pearls at the moon, and the poet sings to the moon.If it weren't for the moon, the flowers will be blooming in Mingming spring, so why is my heart so sad.Qiuping, who used to smile warmly in the sun, and Su Xiaoxiao, who was free and easy in other people's legends, melted into the shadows on the wall with countless figures.Little cherry blossoms dance among the fixed figures.Why are good things always short-lived?Why do beautiful women always look like this flower, the most beautiful, but also the easiest to haggard?

The two people in the courtyard stood alone, unaware that there was another person walking outside the courtyard.After drinking, Yang Xian wanted to take advantage of his drunkenness to see the Queen, but when he passed by the Moon Cherry Garden, he saw a bustling cherry blossom tree in the wall, revealing a bright white brilliance under the moonlight, he stopped unconsciously, and was amazed by the beauty of this quiet night arrive.Think of the old days.Yingzi, he used to call her by her name.Is that cherry-like woman still standing under the tree?Yang Xian thought about this in his mind, and suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard, "I've been guilty of him all these years." The voice was soft and sweet, and it made people sink.Hearing the all-too-familiar voice, Yang Xian froze there, let alone being able to move.is her.

"Now that the queen is pregnant, I'm really relieved. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay what I owe him in this life. I hope you can stay with him well." The voice sounded and ended.There was a long silence and no answer.

Yang Xian was hesitant to go to Lanxiang Miyamoto after drinking, but he also took possession of her after drinking that day and made her pregnant, so she felt resentful?The queen's matter was not settled yet, and hearing Concubine Yu's heartfelt feelings, she moved to the door, pushed the door open and entered.He never imagined that it was Qingping who was talking to Yu Wanying.

Qingping and Yu Wanying were also startled when they saw Yang Xian who pushed the door open.Yu Wanying took a deep look at him, turned around and left without saying a word.
