King's man

In Yufeng Garden, Chu Xi stood in front of the court, watching the autumn wind blow.Spring has passed, and her spring has passed.When she first entered the palace, she was indeed favored. The emperor was lucky every day, and the rewards continued, and everyone in the palace was also very attentive.At that time, the tree was still full of purple flowers, and the purple flowers bloomed under the sky, so beautiful that it almost made her cry.What awe and joy filled her heart at that time!She looked up at the tree in the courtyard, it was a jacaranda tree with thick arms.Its original dark green leaves have turned yellow.Everything will change, just like the emperor's favor.Not long after, he returned to the actor's side.Now, the emperor seldom comes to Yu Fengyuan.Leave her alone, with these flowers blooming and falling.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, and a few yellow leaves in early autumn fell quietly.Chu Xi's petite figure and her light purple clothes gave off a faint sadness in the autumn wind.

The courtyard door opened, and Chu Xi saw Lin Mei walking in alluringly. "What is she here for?" Chu Xi was thinking in her heart, but Lin Mei said first: "It's getting cold, I'm still used to seeing my sister!" Chu Xi replied, "Everything is fine, please worry about my sister." Said At that time, Lin Mei was brought into the room, and he ordered Liuxue to serve the seat and tea with dew, and the etiquette was thorough.

Lin Mei looked Chu Xi up and down, but saw that she was wearing a purple gauze skirt, which was a light purple, which looked very soft; her complexion was a kind of crescent white, very elegant, and her eyebrows were clear. Shallow, with watery pupils and a little red lips, I feel sorry for her.According to Lin Mei's previous style, she must say a few ironic words that Chu Xi won the emperor's favor and made everyone in the harem envious. In fact, everyone knew that this oiran had fallen out of favor.But she didn't say it.The woman in front of her is so weak and courteous to her, so she doesn't get bored.She rarely said kindly, "Sister, what is missing here, tell me, I will help if I can!"

After hearing this, Chu Xi raised her eyes to look at Lin Mei, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister, I don't need anything." But she was thinking in her heart, since she entered the palace, she always heard people say that Concubine Mei is a powerful person, why is she so kind today? .

Lin Mei also smiled along with it: "Little sister entered the palace not long ago, and there are some things that I still don't understand. I have also suffered from this. That Qingping, although he is just an actor, is the most important person in front of the emperor. My sister doesn't want it." Go and provoke him." Having said that, it made people feel heartbroken.Even Chu Xi couldn't help nodding, "What my sister said is true. I don't come out of Yu Fengyuan every day, so I probably won't be able to get in touch with him."

"Little sister doesn't know something. If you don't mess with him, I'm afraid he will come to you again. I still remember when the emperor asked for his opinion at the flower feast, and I clearly heard him talking about Li Xi. After Lin Mei finished speaking, seeing that Chu Xi was still looking at her with a look of reluctance in her eyes, she couldn't help but sighed. "I've always been a straight-hearted person, but now I understand that we are just pawns for the emperor and ministers, and their political chips. The emperor doesn't like beauties, but chooses concubines because the ministers need the crown prince."

After hearing this, Chu Xi was shocked physically and mentally, and his internal organs were as strong as the cold wind.Looking back on the process of entering the palace, it was actually a conspiracy.The feeling of disillusionment made her almost breathless.Before she could think deeply, Lin Mei's sympathetic gaze made her quickly adjust her demeanor, "My sister is willing to tell me this, I am very grateful, next time I will definitely visit my sister in Meixia Garden."

Lin Mei knew the weight of what she said. She carefully looked at Chu Xi's expression, and found it interesting that she could still maintain her composure under such circumstances.She couldn't help laughing and said, "My sister doesn't have to worry about it. I will add a prince to the emperor next year, and life will be easier in the future."

Chu Xi wanted to ask the emperor why no one in the palace had given birth to a prince or princess for the emperor after he had been on the throne for so long, and she was afraid of speaking abruptly, so she didn't ask.Lin Mei had already got up to leave. "I hit it off with my younger sister, so you can visit Meixia Garden when you have time."

Chu Xi got up and was about to send her away, but saw her standing still again, "I heard that my sister loves flowers, and there is also a flower house, can I visit it?" Chu Xi smiled after hearing this, showing a look of joy, "It's rare that my sister has Interested, come here." He said, leading Lin Mei to a side room.The room is very bright, and the sun shines in through the screen window. Several pots of cannas are standing in the sun. The big red flowers are as gorgeous as a burning fire, so proud and ostentatiously beautiful.This kind of red flower is exactly what Lin Mei wanted, she smiled unconsciously, "You really have a heart, I think this canna is very beautiful!" She looked away reluctantly, there are big hydrangeas elsewhere, a pot Green, one pot of purple, and two pots of white. There are several pots of begonias in the back of the sun, placed on exquisite carved wooden frames, with crimson flowers, dark green leaves, and autumn rhyme of begonias; near the door there is a jasmine plant, white The flowers are bright and clean, and the fragrance is striking.In addition, there were many exotic flowers and plants that Lin Mei didn't know, and they were fragrant.Lin Mei's eyes turned around, but she still returned to the pot of cannas. The red flowers are really attractive.She couldn't help admiring again and again. "Since my sister likes it, I'll give it to you." Chu Xi smiled.

"Then am I not the one who is loved by others?" Lin Mei also laughed.

"My sister is bright and charming, but the canna is as red as fire, which is perfect for my sister!" While saying that, Chu Xi ordered Liu Xue to bring two pots of cannas, and sent them to Meixia Garden with Lin Mei.

The setting sun gradually sinks to the west, drowning in the horizon of the western sky.Chu Xi was wearing a thin gauze, feeling slightly cold.Ning Lu took a brocade blouse and put it on with her.Chu Xi was still contemplating her loss.She was lost in a conspiracy, a trap she accidentally fell into, from beginning to end.Those beautiful fantasies of hers are just an unrealistic dream, how can it be!So what is the song "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky"?What's the point of even winning the oiran?Without the emperor's love, I am so insignificant, just like dust.Suddenly want to go home.The green bamboo in my hometown is green and fresh in the morning, the apricot blossoms in my hometown are soft and lingering in the drizzle, the small river in my hometown is clear and clear in the sun, and the white walls and blue tiles in my hometown are kind and warm beside the stone path.The maids at home are also so cute, always calling her "Miss, your sachet!" "Miss, be careful of the water!" "Miss, this dress is so beautiful on you!"There is also my father, who dotes on her so much, gives her the best, and obeys her whatever she wants. Her mother, with those kind eyebrows, always looks at her with loving eyes, sometimes , her soft hands will help her comb her hair.Chu Xi imitated her mother, raised her hand to pick up her hair, the blue hair was soft and soft, and slipped gently from her fingers.Tears slid down his cheeks gently.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner!" Ning Lu reminded carefully.Since this oiran entered the palace, she and Liu Xue were assigned to serve her in Yu Feng Yuan.They didn't expect anything, but Concubine Chu has such a gentle personality, never lost her temper with them, and often rewarded them with things.To meet such a good master, what extravagance do you have?Seeing the emperor pampering her, they were equally happy in their hearts, and seeing her sad, they also couldn't bear it.

Chu Xi wiped away the tears with an embroidered handkerchief, and looked up at the dew beside her. This maid was two years older than her, and she was very clean, with two thin willow-leaf eyebrows and a little red lips. A pair of eyes, as clear as dew.Weidao heard people say that she looks like him in private, but now it seems that she really looks like him.

Seeing that Concubine Chu was looking at her all the time, but she didn't intend to get up, Ning Lu tried to persuade her again: "Your Majesty is weak and weak, you should take some supplements." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to help her.Chu Xi felt quite relieved, she had to admit that the imperial palace was many times better than the family after all, so she said that these two first-class maids satisfied her very much.

Chu Xi didn't have an appetite at all, so she ate something carelessly, and asked Liu Xuening Lu to hold the lamp to accompany her to the greenhouse.Liuxue and Ninglu are already used to it. Their mothers love flowers, and they always go to the greenhouse every day before going to bed.The glazed lamp illuminated the room all over, one pot after another, one flower after another, red and white, so delicate and beautiful in the night.When the light shines on a broad-leaved plant, Chu Xi stands still and stares.Two buds are hidden between the leaves, and one has already opened, with silky calyx, light yellow stamens, and white feathery petals, one by one, arranged into a huge flower.That kind of whiteness is so pure and radiant in the dark night, and its beauty is moving.Chu Xi stared at it for a long time, she raised her hand, her slender fingers gently touched the white petals, her movements were so cautious, as if she was afraid of hurting the flower.The night was dark, and the room was silent. Liuxue and Condensation were infected by the atmosphere, and they were silent.Chu Xi just stood there quietly, like a flower in the dark night.Looking at it day by day, the epiphyllum I was waiting for finally bloomed.she thought.But the blooming of epiphyllum is so gorgeous, but so short-lived.People say that it is short-lived, only for Wei Tuo.Have you waited year after year just to see the one you love?Is that person who loves you too worthy of your waiting?She felt sorry for the flower, and suddenly felt sorry for herself. "Ninglu, it's getting cold, it's time to add some clothes to keep warm." Finally she said quietly.At the door of the greenhouse, before leaving, he looked back at the Epiphyllum.

The maple leaves turn red and fall, and the grass turns yellow and withers.Although the weather was getting colder, Qingping was very at ease; the whole palace also showed a rare sense of peace.This year's winter came later than in previous years, but it also came quickly.It was originally a crisp autumn weather, but suddenly there was a strong northerly wind overnight, and it snowed the next day.Qingping looked at the snowy branches all over the trees, and wondered whether the plum blossoms in Meixue Palace had already bloomed, regardless of the wind and cold weather, she approved the coir raincoat and went outside.Qingping went out and found that the snow was falling slightly.The snow on the ground has accumulated a thick layer, and it is soft and silent when stepped on, leaving a string of footprints, which are clear and abrupt on the white ground.The string of footprints grew farther and farther, meandering west, to Meixue Palace.Just as Qingping was about to knock on the door, she heard a burst of laughter from the courtyard, and then heard Lan Ling's voice, "It's so cold, sister, the snow is falling into your neck!" "Come here, let me help you look." Yes Du Jinghong was responding. "Sister's hands are so warm!" "Ah!" Du Jinghong exclaimed, "What are you doing, girl!" "Sister, warm me up," Lan Ling said sweetly.Then the laughter of the two chased and continued.I don't know what game the two are playing, they are laughing so happily.When I opened the door, I saw a tree of fiery red plum blossoms. Under the plum blossoms, Du Jinghong and Lanling were wearing the same blue clothes. Standing together, the blue also blended into one piece.Du Jinghong wrapped her arms around Lan Ling's shoulders, and was helping her straighten the collar at the back of her neck with her hands, while Lan Ling stood obediently in Du Jinghong's arms, and even reached out to hug her waist.Snowflakes are flying all over the sky behind them, and plum blossoms are flaming above their heads.That picture is beautiful and warm.

The intimate posture of the two made Qingping hesitate for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.Before he had time to think about it, Du Jinghong had already seen him. She let go of the blue bell, and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Qingping is so happy every day!" Even though this face has been seen countless times, it is still as stunning as the first time I saw it.Qingping felt slightly dizzy, almost suspected that she was in a dream, but he didn't even hear what Du Jinghong said.I don't know what to reply, just laugh.

But Lanling jumped to the front, and said with a smile, "Brother Qingping, my sister taught me the piano score you came to see last time!" Qingping turned to look at Lanling, the ice blue dress It was also suitable for her, her complexion was like snow, her round eyes and red lips were exceptionally delicate and beautiful. "I learned it so quickly, it really is Bingxue's intelligence!" Qingping followed her words.After speaking, she saw a shy blush spread over Lan Ling's cheeks, and she retreated to Du Jinghong's side, holding her arm with her hand, "It's my sister who taught me well!"

It was the first time Qingping saw a shy expression on Lanling, and found it quite interesting.He has grown into a big girl, but he has never noticed it.Yes, the master of ceremonies is preparing for her coming-of-age ceremony, which will be in the next year.At this time, he found that Du Jinghong was looking at him with probing eyes. He said, "I came to see if the plum blossoms here have bloomed, and it is not disappointing." On the branches, some have already opened, five red petals, quietly in the snow, and a layer of white snow has accumulated in the center of the flower, which is as beautiful as the person opposite.He remembered that on the day of the flower viewing banquet, she also had such a plum blossom on her forehead, and she was startled, red, is she the flower god in charge of the plum blossom?No, no beautiful flower can compare to her.Qingping stared deeply at the plum blossom, not daring to take another look at the person under the blossom.

Du Jinghong also looked up at the flower.The plum blossoms are fiery red and extremely bright, so they are naturally lovable.But the flower has no heart.Flowers only bloom for themselves, and those who love flowers can only sigh that they have no chance.She didn't understand Qingping's frequent visits.And that clean young man who is now the king above ten thousand people. "Come back, son! I'll ask Nuan Yu to cut some branches and send them to you." She said lightly.

The snow has stopped.Qingping didn't want to go back to the Hall of Cultivating Heart.He walked into the imperial garden aimlessly.The plants and trees in the imperial garden have long since withered, and are covered with a layer of snow. Looking around, it is a vast expanse of whiteness and incomparably empty.His heart, like this world, is empty.The Wuxiu Mountain in the distance is hidden in the clouds and mist, and it looks so vague between the white earth and the silver-gray sky.so lonely.It seems that along with the surrounding fog, it has become nothingness that can only be seen but cannot be grasped.

Qingping stepped on the frozen snow, creaking.But he seemed to be walking on cotton under his feet, vacant.Physically and mentally at a loss.I can't even keep a little secret thought in my heart.In the past, he always wanted to understand her, to explore her secrets, maybe one day he could open her heart, but now he realized that it would never be possible.He never had the chance and never will.Shocked, even calling this name has a thrilling power.It just makes people dream, but it just can't.

He finally saw her secret.Mojing, this word that used to only appear in rumors to him, now has life, it is so vivid and active in front of his eyes: a beautiful woman, facing another beauty in the bronze mirror, staring affectionately .The beauty of the other party is reflected in the eyes.The slender index finger stretched forward carefully, not touching that face.Only fingertips touch, silently trembling.Gu Ying felt sorry for herself and hated seeing each other late.Longing for ear and temple to grind together, accompany day and night.

With the transformation of light and shadow, the word becomes a picture of Jinghong and Lanling embracing each other intimately.The blue clothes of the two people are connected together, their eyes meet and smile at each other, and then the two of them fuse together and become a whole.

Du Jinghong is a mirror grinder.She doesn't like men, both the emperor and him are just bystanders.The emperor must know this secret.Qingping thought.He must know.So I kept avoiding talking about her.What he didn't want to talk about was the past between him and her.What was it like?It made him feel like a stick in his throat, and he couldn't be relieved for a long time.He wanted to know, but suddenly he was afraid of knowing, as if the past was as heavy as this secret.

The world is still a vast expanse of whiteness.The branches were bent by the snow, looking overwhelmed, as if they would break at any time.In fact, Xuezhi is still very beautiful.In fact, isn't that beautiful?He could only fantasize about his beautiful body, with its undulating posture, which fits the exquisite curve of another woman exactly.The entanglement of black hair, the touch of fair skin, the interlocking of slender fingers, the kiss of rouge lips.

He felt ashamed again at once.I can't even divert the thoughts in my heart to avoid such thoughts.Qingping became angry with herself, her footsteps changed rapidly, and her feet stepped heavily on the snow.It wasn't until he saw the woman in red in the distance that he stopped.In the boundless white snow field, the woman in the red dress is dazzling, and the woman in the red dress is petite and dancing.She raised her water sleeves, and the red color spread out in the air, as if intending to cut through the sky and the earth.The red dress was flying, but the woman stopped suddenly, turned around and saw him, turned her head again, and walked away gracefully, as weak as the wind.
