Chapter 3 People go to the empty fragrance

There was not a trace of wind, and the scorching sun outside the window scorched the earth unscrupulously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The books in the info garden are all listlessly blowing leaves. Wang Jingluo stood by the window of the study, squinting at the leaves that did not move, and was silent for a long time.

On the table lay the small box that Ling Huan gave to Han Yanjiang at that time. The box had been opened, and a parchment map had unfolded on the desk.

"Your Majesty, is this a gesture?" Han Yanjiang asked hesitantly.

"Show goodwill?" Wang Jingluo smiled bitterly: "It's just a return gift." He turned his head to look at the map on the table, walked over and said, "Besides, these six states and counties were originally my Daming." It's just that last time they took advantage of the chaos. ”

"Then ......" Han Yanjiang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wang Jingluo.

"Since they sent it back, let's put it away!" After speaking, put away the map, put it aside, and said to Han Yanjiang: "You go there in a few days and settle this matter." As for the appointment of officials, you can just come to me before you leave. ”

"Yes!" Han Yanjiang clenched his fists and took the order.

"Hmm......" Wang Jingluo looked at Han Yanjiang, wanting to ask if Qinmei was okay, but he didn't know how to speak.

"That'...... What are those girls like now?" asked Wang Jingluo.

"Oh, the minister is about to return this matter to His Majesty. Han Yanjiang replied: "The girls have all been arranged. He thought for a moment and continued: "I heard Ling Huan say that Miss Qinmei was arranged near the Empress Dowager of Qi's dormitory. I think the Empress Dowager of Qi likes her very much. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Jingluo frowned without saying a word, looking at the paperweight on the table.

"When the minister left, he asked Ling Huan to help take care of Miss Qinmei in Qi State. Han Yanjiang glanced at Emperor Mingjing, who was frowning, and continued, "He agreed." ”

Wang Jing nodded after a while and said, "Okay, okay...... It's good to say yes......" After saying that, he closed his eyes and sighed.

In fact, until now, he has not been able to make up his mind. If he is not seen all the time, perhaps, nothing will happen. However, providence made people, and God destined him to see Qinmei...... He often dreamed of this fairy-like girl, she stood under the magnolia tree, and she stroked the zither to him. If one day, he didn't drag Mu En to the palace music workshop, if he didn't follow the sound of the piano that day...... Maybe he won't be so entangled now.

When he thought of this girl, he seemed to smell the fragrance of orchids at that time. It's just a pity that the flowers in the small courtyard are still gone, and the tea is cold and fragrant......

"Your Majesty......" Gonggong An whispered in Wang Jingluo's ear: "Lord Mu is here." ”

"Hmm......" Wang Jingluo slowly opened his eyes, as if he wanted to reminisce about the fragrance of orchids that had been absent from the previous breath. "Xuan!"

Accompanied by Begonia, Qinmei walked to the Queen Mother's bedroom, and shortly after the lunch break, Gonggong Guo came to report, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to listen to Qinmei Fuzheng and let her go over. Qin Mei didn't dare to slack off, so she asked Guo Gonggong to go back first, dress up a little, and set off with Begonia. Since Qinmei lived not far from the Queen Mother's bedroom, it didn't take long for her to arrive.

"Xiao Luzi, you let Miss Qinmei rest for a while, just mourn the family here. "The Queen Mother heard that someone was reporting that Qinmei was coming, so she asked Gonggong Guo to entertain Qinmei first. He closed his eyes and asked the winter melon monk to give him an injection.

Hearing that Qinmei was coming, the winter melon monk's hand shook without a trace, but fortunately, he immediately retracted his thoughts and gave the queen mother a needle with peace of mind.

At the end of the needle, the Queen Mother rested for a while, called Qinmei, and introduced him to the winter melon monk who was bowing his head to clean up the silver needle: "Miss Qinmei, this is the master of winter melon." ”

The winter melon originally wanted not to attract Qinmei's attention, but it seems that this noodle has to be seen. He put away the silver needle in his hand, turned around, and said to Qin Meiheshi: "Poor monk winter melon, I have seen a female benefactor. ”

Qin Mei smiled and said, "I have long heard that there is a monk in the palace who has a wonderful hand for rejuvenation, and he must be the master of winter melon." ”

The winter melon monk hurriedly nodded and said: "Amitabha Buddha ...... 'wonderful hand rejuvenation', and the poor monk will never dare to be it." The poor monk is only doing his best. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned the palace maid to lift the kite, and then said: "Master Winter Melon is a great virtue. Qin Mei praises you, you just take it. After speaking, he thought about it, and said to the winter melon monk: "Master, why don't you go a little slower and then leave, how about listening to the Qinmei girl stroking the kite with the mourning family?"

The winter melon monk originally wanted to refuse, but for the monks, it was okay not to listen to such a beautiful voice. However, for some reason, he was thinking of confession, but he nodded and said, "Amitabha...... It is better for a poor monk to be respectful than to obey his fate. ”

Looking at Begonia tying a paddle to Qinmei who was sitting on the Zhengqian, the Queen Mother quipped: "Qinmei, Begonia is not lazy with you, right?"

Haitang heard the Queen Mother quip, pouted and said, "The Queen Mother ......"

Qin Mei looked at the Queen Mother's smiling crooked eyebrows, and replied: "Speaking of Begonia, Qin Mei also wants to thank the Queen Mother for her grace." She looked at Haitang and said, "Haitang is ingenious, saving Qinmei a lot of thought." After speaking, he wanted to stand up and salute the Queen Mother to thank him, but he was hurriedly called by the Queen Mother: "Okay, okay!

The winter melon monk sat upright, plucked the rosary between his fingers, and closed his eyes slightly, showing the demeanor of a high-ranking monk. In fact, he secretly looked at Qin Mei through his slightly open eyes. His eyes smeared back and forth over the temples that Qin Mei skillfully coiled. He quietly felt the subtle aura emanating from the cloud-like hair. And this trace of the breath that he captured was similar to the breath he felt in King Qi's bedroom that day. He sighed softly. It's time to come, and it's still here......

was sighing, but saw Qin Mei's body stroking the qin turned slightly, and drew a line on the strings of the zither from high to low. And it's just this turn...... The winter melon monk saw clearly the hairpin between the Qinmei buns. Startled, he took a breath of cold air.

But think about it carefully, since Qinmei has appeared here, that hairpin ...... I guess that's to be expected.

Contrary to the winter melon monk's concern, Qin Mei did not care too much about the winter melon monk. Her fingers slenderly searched her memory for the scores she had memorized countless times before. Today's performance for the Queen Mother is "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". At the end of the song, the Queen Mother stroked her palms and smiled: "It's really good!

Qin Mei stood up and thanked him.

"What's this song called?"

"Spring River Flower Moonlight Night"

"Who did it, and why have the mourners never heard of it?"

“…… A friend of Qinmei created it before his death, and it was not reported. ”

"By the way......" The Queen Mother put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Qinmei, Your Majesty asked you to prepare a song to receive the envoys, can you prepare it properly?"

Qin Mei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, you are ready." ”

"Well......" The Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's good! These envoys are all coming to our Qi country to send a big wedding gift to Your Majesty, and we must treat each other with courtesy......

…………

Qin Mei doesn't remember how she left the Queen Mother's bedroom. The mind is hovering with the words "big wedding gift...... "Big wedding gift" right now, King Qi is getting married. There will be a queen. When she thought about it, she immediately laughed at herself and said, isn't she also a congratulatory gift? Isn't it also the reason why Wang Jingluo dragged the "congratulatory gift", draped it on her body, and sent it to the palace of Qi State?

When she thought of King Qi getting married, it was like a fish sting in her throat, and she was at a loss for the kind of sadness and torture that she couldn't spit out or swallow. In her worldview, if two people want to be together, isn't it "a pair of pairs, a lifetime......"? He's about to have a wife. So how is she going to deal with herself? How should their souls be attributed? She is just a dancing girl, a dancing girl, how to get close to the high emperor? Although in this world, it is very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is very common for the emperor's harem to have three thousand...... Perhaps, what is not ordinary, is just her idea of "a pair of pairs". At that moment, she began to regret her gamble with Haotian. She had less than two and a half years left to complete the near-"unfinishable" task.

"Female donor, please stay" The winter melon monk looked at Qin Mei, who walked past him, but did not say anything, and called out gently.

He left the Empress Dowager's dormitory earlier than Qin Mei. In order to be able to intercept Qinmei halfway and solve the doubts in his heart. Unexpectedly, after Qinmei came out, he was like a wandering spirit, confused and unclear

Hearing the call of the winter melon, it was Begonia who glanced back at the winter melon, gently patted Qin Mei's shoulder, pointed to the winter melon monk behind the side suspiciously, and then looked at Qin Mei and shrugged his shoulders.

Qin Mei was frightened by this shot of the begonia. The soul returned to its shell. She looked in the direction of Begonia's finger and saw the monk she had seen in the Queen Mother's bedroom just now. When he was wondering what the monk was looking for him, the monk walked towards him.

"Amitabha...... Miss Qinmei, can you take a step to speak?" asked the winter melon monk with his hands folded and asked softly.

"Huh?" Qin Mei was a little confused. What is this monk going to say to herself? She looked at Haitang suspiciously, and replied, "I don't know what the master wants to say to Qinmei?"

The winter melon monk also raised his eyes to look at the begonia, and then looked at the hairpin on Qin Mei's head, thought about it, and said to Qin Mei: "Amitabha." The poor monk wanted to talk to the female benefactor about an old man. ”

"Old man?" Qin Mei looked at the winter melon monk inexplicably. She has never seen this monk before, and the "old man" from the monk can be said?

"I think, the master is mistaken, Qin Mei first came to Qi country, what kind of 'old man' will he have with the master?" After speaking, he planned to turn around and take Haitang back quickly.

"It's the old man. Seeing that Qin Mei was about to turn around and leave, the winter melon monk was not in a hurry at all. He smiled and said aloud: "The poor monk wants to talk to the girl about the old man who gave the girl hairpin." (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
