Who remembers the youth here (above) [Tanabata custom Qi]

This seventh day of the seventh month is the Daughter's Day of the Southern Kingdom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if this harem of Qi is empty, it is still locked with a group of cardamom girls. In such a midsummer season, how can you live in the palace in peace?

The concubine, who has always been quite strict, rarely spoke, and asked the palaces to make fun of themselves. In less than night, laughter resounded everywhere in this surprisingly quiet palace.

Only one thing is different, and the silence is even more than ever.

――――――――――――――――――――――

When Mu Huayan first married me, she asked me as if she was angry, you are thinking about her, and you can remember it for a few years.

I don't remember how I answered her, or if I didn't answer the question at all, and I ran away.

"Why is the palace so lively?" I put down the fold in my hand, rubbed the corners of my forehead, laughed at myself, and how I criticized the fold, and I was so reminded of this stubble.

"Your Majesty forgot, today, it's the seventh day of July. ”

"July 7th. I stood up and looked at the nine-fold palace spread out under the imperial steps, and for the first time felt how lonely it was here.

This palace of diligence is like a lonely lamp in this wilderness, even if the lantern is carried out, there is still a dead silence around it.

It was raining outside the hall at this time, and I heard my cousin Li Sheng, who had been kind since childhood, and said with a smile: "You see, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are afraid that they have met, so they cry with joy." ”

"Crying with joy?" I shook my head, "I have to see you once a year, I am really happy? ”

"Go and get the umbrella over there, and fetch it for me. ”

Half an hour later, I walked alone in the Wanping market with a lantern, holding the twenty-four oil-paper umbrella painted with mountains and rivers painted in ink.

It was still raining in Wanping, and the market was more prosperous than before, and the glimmer of the lantern was like a firefly.

In fact, the first time I met her, it was not the rainy day that people said, my fate with her was longer than that year.

I was four years older than her, and when I first met her, I was only seven years old. The first time I saw her was on August 28 of that year, her birthday.

My mother, Empress Huiyi, died on March 13 of that year. Even if I am the concubine of the middle palace, the loss of my mother still means the loss of protection for a child born in the deep palace.

On August 24, I was still lying on the bed with red and swollen peanuts from eating crushed peanuts from the pastry. The arrival of my companions, Su Jia's Ajun and Wang's Asu, gave me a lot of comfort.

That year, Su Jun was only ten years old, and Wang Su, who was the same year as me, had only been under Yu Anqi's seat for less than a year. As children, the two of them mentioned the feast on August 28 many times during their conversations, and I was quite curious.

I knew that it was Su Jun's little sister that day, the girl who was said to be born in Sufu Hibiscus overnight. What surprised me even more was that Wang Su's little junior sister was actually the fourth lady of the Su family, Su Yan.

This is the first time in my life, when I heard her name, I smiled and said to Su Jun: "How did your daughter, who is loved by thousands of people, choose such a simple name?"

"My father doesn't want her to be beautiful all her life, he just wants her to be smiling forever. ”

Until the last few years of my life, I also felt very touched when I recalled Su Jun's expression at that time. His expression was still ignorant, but he was happy and proud.

On the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month, I was all right. At that time, I had a vague understanding that I could use the faint guilt and nostalgia in my father's heart for my mother to achieve my own wishes.

My father couldn't refuse, the seven-year-old boy who was holding his knees and had tears in his eyes because there was no one in the palace, so he allowed me to go to Su's house with Wang Su that day to see the excitement.

It was the first time in my life that I had left this Miyagi. Before leaving the palace city, it is the long river of Wan. In the third year of my ascension to the throne, Wanhe Xifang had the prosperous wind and flow of "Ten Miles of Rouge Lane", and the so-called Ten Miles of Qinhuai is the world's first-class gold cave in the hearts of men in the world, and it is a gentle township. Dongfang is more powerful and strong, and there are Wuyi Lane for six miles, all of which are inhabited by dignitaries. And Chenghou's Mansion is on that Wuyi Alley, where every inch of land is valuable.

When I first came to this mansion in the early morning of August 28, the tenth year of Xianli, I would not have known that this mansion, which was once the crown of Wanping's mansion garden, was burned down in the twenty-first year of Xianli, and a few years later, I will devote my private treasury to repair it, every grass and stone, just like that year.

In the same way, I would not have known that the handsome middle-aged man who smiled and saluted me, and who had a warm smile, would fall on the icy river beach on a rainy night ten years later because of me, and be stabbed thirteen times when he died, and his body would be covered in mud.

When I entered this house, the first thing I saw was the two very thin camphor trees in the corner, which appeared very abruptly in the elaborate landscaping, which looked quite funny.

And the two camphor trees, now in my private vault, are carved into two chests and filled with silk.

My meeting with her that day was actually more like a coincidence.

The little girl sitting on the rockery next to the lotus pond was wearing a pink dress embroidered with a large hibiscus flower.

I, who hadn't laughed for a long time, ran behind her, and wanted to roar to scare her, but who would have thought, but she spoke first and said, "Stinky Asu, I know it's you, don't pretend to be a ghost." ”

"I'm not Wang Su. By the time I said this, I had already vaguely guessed that this little girl was the protagonist of today's feast.

She let out a "huh" and turned her head. On her still fat face, she didn't smile like a four-year-old girl, but it really made me just want to grin with her.

Her eyes were still round at that time, and only the outline of the Su family's iconic phoenix eyes could be faintly seen. She rolled her dark eyes, looked at me secretly, and said hesitantly, "Are you, Fifth Highness?"

"Qi Lang. "I nodded my head and easily told her my name.

She nodded, and smiled sweetly: "Since Your Highness is here, what should you tell me?"

"Happy birthday, Miss Su Si. I was stunned for a moment, then I smiled and heard her laughter as crisp as a silver bell.

"Why are you sitting so high?" I saw her turn her head, still with her two short legs crossed, looking at the lotus pond.

"It's not high, Your Highness is delicate, I won't call you up. When I think about it, I only feel that this four-year-old girl is mentally mature and surprised me, "Oh, if Ah Su is here, I will pull him up." ”

I was suddenly very jealous of Wang Su, who was the same age as me, in his mouth, with a father, a mother and a master, and he played with her so happily.

To this day, I am still curious why the **** sat alone on the rockery, on her birthday. And I chose to get close to her just because, at that moment, I felt that she was as lonely as me.

In fact, to this day, I have somewhat understood that there always seems to be a connection between the people I should meet, and I can't be spared from meeting on a narrow road.

Later, I was sought back by the guards who came with me, and in a short time I was taken back to the palace.

This brief meeting only made me reminisce for a few days, and then I was pressed to the bottom of my heart with the heavy schoolwork in the imperial study.

Wang Su no longer served as my companion, and I heard that Yu Anqi began to take them to travel all over the world. I found that in the world's mouth, only Wang Su has a name and surname among Yu Anqi's disciples, and she has never been mentioned.

I only occasionally look at the increasingly silent Su Jun, and I will remember, does she also have a pair of phoenix eyes like this? )
