Fanwai (2) The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl
An Shao did not return to the East Palace at the first time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He first arranged for his subordinates to settle the army, and then went to Zhu Tiantai to deliver the sword, in order to wash away the killing spirit brought by the war. Immediately entered the palace to face the saint and report the situation of the expedition.
The emperor is a little old, and when he hears his son's exploits, he is naturally overjoyed. Coupled with the praise of the ministers of the court, the emperor gave An Shao a lot of imperial jewels at once.
After seeing his father, An Shao was going to Fengyi Hall to ask his mother for peace. After this series of ceremonies, it was almost noon. An Shao rode his horse and rushed to the East Palace.
Xiu'er, I'll be able to see you!
An Shao rode straight into the East Palace, and the guards immediately opened all the gates. He saw Jiang Ran and his concubines kneeling outside the Maori Hall to greet him, he reined in his horse and asked Jiang Ran, "Where is Xiu'er?"
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine sent someone to invite Sister Ming before, but she was not in the Linglong Palace, and the concubine had already been searched for." ā
"What, not in the Linglong Palace?" An Shao couldn't wait for Jiang Ran to say anything more, pulled the reins, and hurried to the Linglong Palace.
Xiu'er is not in the Linglong Palace? The carriage on the street suddenly appeared in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more confused it became, how to explain all this?
The Linglong Palace is a garden-style palace, and since An Shao moved into the East Palace, he sent people to build the Linglong Palace as a shelter for Mingxiu.
After getting off the horse, An Shao saw that the palace maids at the door were busy, and the palace maids immediately knelt down when they saw the prince, and they were just about to shout "Wanfu Jin'an" but were stopped by An Shao. An Shao's attendant eunuch Qi De hurriedly came, and when he saw that the prince was unwilling to alarm the people in the hall, he sent all the palace maids in the Linglong Hall out of the situation.
An Shao slowly approached the Linglong Palace, bypassing the zigzag corridor, and suddenly heard a strange female voice, this voice was soft but a little lazy, it would not be Xiu'er's voice nor Xiao Chuan's.
According to legend, the Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother of Heaven, and she is ingenious and can weave colorful clouds with a pair of dexterous hands. There is an orphan in the mortal world called Cowherd, although he is hardworking, he has always lived a poor life......"
Xiao Chuan's voice suddenly sounded: "Are the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl never reunited?"
"Nope. With the help of the old cow, the cowherd carried his children in a basket and chased them to the sky. When the queen mother saw the cowherd chasing after her, she used the golden hairpin on her head to draw a big river between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, which is the Milky Way. The surging Milky Way mercilessly separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both banks, and they could only cry and look at each other across the river. Later, when the Queen Mother saw that they were crying very sadly, she was moved by compassion and ordered the magpie to send a message to them to see each other every seven days. Who knew that the magpie had misspoken, saying that they would meet once a year on the seventh day of July. So the queen mother punished the magpie for building a bridge with the cowherd and the weaver girl. Every year on the evening of July 7, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the bridge made of magpies. ā
An Shao quietly listened to the story told by this soft voice. An Shao has already determined that the person in this must not be Xiu'er, and Xiu'er, nine times out of ten, did not marry into the East Palace.
A wave of anger rushed straight to his heart, An Shao rushed through the door, and he was a little flustered after seeing the picturesque person sitting by the window.
This isn't the girl you see on the streets? How could she be here?
But anger soon drowned out reason, An Shao's heart was full of his Xiu'er, if she didn't marry into the East Palace, where would she go?
The more the woman in front of her looked, the more hateful she felt, if it weren't for her, wouldn't Xiu'er have disappeared?
"Come on, Concubine Ming doesn't know the etiquette, offends the prince, cane twenty, and is grounded in the Linglong Palace!" When An Shao finished saying this, the anger in his heart calmed down a little.
Seeing that the guards pulled An Ruolan away, An Shao also left the Linglong Palace, he didn't even think about going straight to the Xunlan Hall to visit Concubine Li. In the entire East Palace, one of An Shao's favorite women is Mingxiu, and the other is Concubine Li. And at this time, only Concubine Li can comfort herself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. Concubine Li's delicate voice warmed An Shao's heart, and An Shao's cold face finally showed a smile, "How is Concubine Ai recently?"
"The concubines miss His Highness day and night, and they can't sleep well. Concubine Li's aggrieved voice made An Shao very useful.
An Shao sat at the table, and I held Concubine Li's hand: "These days, I've worked hard for you." ā
"His Royal Highness has been fighting on the battlefield for several months, but the concubines can't do anything, and they dare not say that they are hard. Concubine Li's eyes rolled, and she asked tentatively: "I heard that His Royal Highness just got angry in the Linglong Palace, what's wrong?"
As soon as An Shao heard this, he began to get angry again, "I don't want her to be so rude, this palace grounded her." ā
Concubine Li got up and sat on An Shao, and said with a smile: "Your Highness really feels sorry for Sister Ming, offending the prince is a big crime to kill your head." ā
An Shao heard the meaning of Concubine Li's words, "What does Concubine Ai want to do with her?"
"It's not appropriate to dispose of the word, His Royal Highness and Sister Ming's newlywed Yan'er. Sister Ming's Linglong Hall is too luxurious, I am afraid that she will not repent of such a grounding, and she will always suffer a little before she will know that His Royal Highness is good to her. ā
Aifei continued. ā
"I heard that there is a place called Banglou a kilometer away from the East Palace, although the place is remote, the meaning is known to the world. If His Royal Highness is willing to let Sister Ming live in Banglou, firstly, it can make Sister Ming have a longer memory, and secondly, it will also remind Sister Ming's sincerity. ā
An Shao didn't expect anything that was sincere or insincere, whether it was to drive that woman to Bang Lou, Linglong Hall couldn't let people like her be defiled.
"That's very good, just do it according to the concubine's proposal. ā
