Chapter 40: Spring Dawn in the Snow Mountains
When I woke up again, I was soaked in hot water, and Qingge saw that I was awake, and said in surprise: "Chuxi, are you awake?" As he spoke, he brought some side dishes and porridge to the high table next to the wooden barrel, and said, "You fainted on your knees, and the queen mother sent you back." ”
I soaked in the water and picked up the porridge bowl, but I saw Qingge holding the waist card again and said, "The queen also sent the waist card and asked you to take it." ”
I put down the bowl and picked up the waist card, thinking that there were still many things I didn't understand...... I thought about it and laughed again, what I don't understand is better than not understanding it for the rest of my life.
Qingge took a big bath towel, I dried myself, got dressed, returned to the inner room, suddenly saw that my wound was fine, and asked Qingge: "Qingge, why did I feel that the wound broke open in a trance yesterday, and there was blood flowing out?" ”
Qingge dusted the bed with a smile and said, "It was probably cold yesterday, and you were in a trance." ”
I nodded and climbed into the quilt, nestled in the quilt, and thought that I was probably too sad and distressed...... He shook his head again, and thought in denial: How can my heart hurt?
……
After I was punished for kneeling, Qi Yue sent medicine a few times, Qi Min came to see me a few times, but Ah Han never appeared.
It's just that it's also approaching, and I don't really care about it, but it's my first New Year here, and for some reason I'm always looking forward to it, just like I was looking forward to the New Year when I was a child.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family banquet in the palace was another overcrowded banquet. I have evolved from the original joy to the current disgust of going to this kind of restrained place, but there is no way, as the crown princess, I still have to go.
There is nothing new in the feast, and it is a "friendship" activity in the palace, I have seen the directors of each family many times, and I am really tired, but I have to be perfunctory.
It's just that when it was time for me again, I brought a zither and played a song of spring dawn in the snowy mountains in a very perfunctory manner.
It's a beautiful and joyful piece that suits it to be played in this atmosphere, starting with a single note of the introduction, followed by finger shakes, arpeggios, and scratches, and I ended casually.
Everyone's praise is endless, and I also replied with a respectful smile, but I don't want to hear someone say to the emperor in a loud voice: "Father, today there is a master of the Zheng in Beijing, who can do songs that ordinary people can't, and his skills are outstanding, and he is known as 'Jingzhong Road Chuxi'. ”
I've been lazy to deal with it, but I didn't expect someone to mention me, I was so frightened that I immediately woke up, and looking at the past, Ah Han who was sitting far away, Qi Yue who was playing with a wine glass, and Qi Qing who pretended to be playing with a chopstick were all a little surprised, and I also looked at the person who spoke.
The speaker was Qi Yi, the eldest prince who had never had anything to do with him, I looked at him, stood up and said humbly: "The prince praised it falsely, although the concubine body is said to be a master like Chuxi on Jingzhong Road, but it is really a concubine with poor skills, and she can't get into the hall of elegance." ”
Qi Yi looked at me, showed a sly smile, and then turned to the same steady as ever and said, "This king just admires the crown princess's piano skills. ”
I smiled and returned the salute, and then after three rounds of drinking, no one noticed me, and I kept thinking about what Qi Yi meant.
Just thinking about it, Qi Min next to me handed me a glass of wine, I came back to my senses, took it, and said without emotion: "Xiexie." I waited for a drink, but realized that it was flower dew, and I looked back at Qi Min in surprise.
Qi Min joked: "Concubine Ai's drinking is average, let's drink this." ”
As soon as I thought of the amount of wine, I remembered Ah Han, so I smiled unnaturally, lowered my head and ate by myself, but Qi Min said, "I'll take you to see the fireworks in a while." ”
I raised my head in surprise and looked at Qi Min with a frown.
Qi Min smiled lightly and said, "Eat slowly." ”
I didn't speak, the moment I turned around, I met Ah Han's eyes, Ah Han's eyes were full of guilt, I was wondering what was going on, and I was kicked hard under the table by Qi Min.
I looked back at Qi Min indignantly, gave him a blank look, lowered my head and ate to myself.
……
After the palace banquet, everyone followed the emperor there to watch the fireworks, but I quietly slipped back to Chenji Palace.
Along the way, there were very few people in the palace, and most of them went to see the fireworks. I walked back, still starry sky, I stood on the road and looked at the starry sky, and sighed in my heart: Sure enough, in ancient times, such starry sky is really rare.
I was watching, but I heard someone ask me, "What are you looking at?" ”
I looked back and saw that it was Qi Min, so I was not restrained and said, "Look at the stars." ”
Qi Min came up to me and said, "Stars? You can watch it at any time, go, I'll take you to see the fireworks. ”
I obediently followed him, and Qi Min said with a smile in front of me: "Yun'er, you are rarely so obedient!" ”
I muttered in the back: "I don't want to save your face for the New Year." ”
Qi Min smiled heavily in front: "It seems that the Chinese New Year is a good time." ”
I jumped and followed behind, and soon arrived at the stargazing platform of the palace, which was the place where Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night.
Qi Min led me all the way to the high pavilion, in the cool night, I stood on the top of the high pavilion, looking at the lights of the palace, the lively palace lights, I smiled and said: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." ”
Qi Min pursed his lips and smiled: "It's another export chapter." ”
I looked at Qi Min noncommittally, but Qi Min raised his hand and pointed outside, and as I turned around, the fireworks burst out in an instant.
I have seen many people cry in front of an exclusive fireworks, originally sneered, but now to myself, to be honest, I am still very moved, that indescribable feeling, like a flower that has been planted in my heart for a long time and thought that it will not sprout again sprouts overnight and grows into a delicate flower, full of the sound of gentle petals touching each other......
One after another, the fireworks are fleeting, but they are gorgeous and beautiful......
