Chapter 126: A Dream Rises and Falls

Previous Chapter

It snowed heavily in Mobei, and the whistling and cold north wind cracked the delicate face, while the dead grass that rolled into clumps drifted into the sky with the wind and was gradually buried in the snow. Sea buckthorn is hung with ice crystals, as if blooming spring flowers, the south of the river is warm, the north is cold, and the weather is completely different in one day.

In the palace, Qi Yue and her youngest daughter sat around the brazier to teach their daughter to read, and Miao Wu stood aside with a few books to watch this warm picture.

The little county lord pouted and refused to learn, thinking that there were too many strokes, Qi Yue just pretended to be stern and urged, and Miao Wu looked at the father and daughter with a soft smile, but she was also happy. Miao Wu has been here for a few days, but she has also adapted to the days here.

Although Saibei is desolate, it is also a good place to escape from the world. Miao Wu tossed and turned for a long time before Qi Yue's palace, and relayed Chu Xi's words. Qi Yue was very worried, and decided to ignore Qi Han's opposition, and when the weather was warmer, he would return to Beijing to report on work and visit relatives.

The fire in the brazier was burning, and the little county lord was holding a book and reading it intermittently, Qi Yue just looked at it gently, and Miao Wu also stood aside with a smile.

The door rang sharply for a while, and then it was slammed open outside, and the servant hurriedly reported in the snow: "Lord, Beijing is in an emergency!" As he spoke, he handed in the letter despite the snow on his body.

Qi Yue took it with a frown, tore open the letter, glanced at it, his face changed abruptly, and handed the letter to Miao Wu behind him. Miao Wu was just wondering what was going on, and just took it, and after reading it, she was cold all over her body as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and the book she was still holding in her hand fell straight into the brazier.

The flames swept through the pages, and the tongue of fire rose a few feet high, so frightened that the little county lord covered his eyes and hid behind Qi Yue. In the middle of the night, tears slipped down Miao Wu's eyes, and she walked to the door in a daze, opened the door, knelt in the direction of the imperial capital in the snow, and said softly: "Miao Wu, send the girl." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times in the snow.

The little county lord stared at the big round eyes and wanted to go out to stop Miao Wu, but Qi Yue grabbed the little county lord and said in a hoarse voice: "Qing, don't disturb your aunt." ”

The little county lord pouted and said, "But my aunt will be very cold," Qi Yue just smiled faintly, but the little girl observed her words and asked softly, "Father is also sad, what happened?" The father said to listen to his daughter. ”

Qi Yue gently hugged the little county lord and said with a reluctant smile: "A confidant and friend of my father has passed away. ”

The little county lord picked Qi Yue's mouth, a small ghost, and said seriously: "Father, don't laugh hard, it looks very awkward," said with a frown, and muttered, "Is it dead?" ”

The little girl jumped out of Qi Yue's arms as she spoke, and also trotted to Miao Wu's side, a small group, knelt down in the direction of Kyoto, kowtowed three heads, and said tenderly and seriously: "Ling'er kowtows to the aunt who went to say goodbye." ”

Miao Wu looked at the little Qingling beside her, so she cried and hugged Qingling and cried loudly. The cold wind in Saibei can't withstand this sad cry, and the heavier the snow, the colder the heart.

Not far away from the lonely country, Queen Qingge also learned the news of the death of the imperial concubine from the mouth of the king of the lonely country, Qingge was stunned for a long time, and then smiled sadly: "I...... Before I go...... Please take care of yourself, but I didn't expect that we would never see each other again......"

The king naturally couldn't understand Qingge's feelings, but just looked at Qingge's sad face, and somewhat knew the weight of this imperial concubine in Qingge's heart, so he gently hugged Qingge and said, "The widow doesn't know the relationship between you and this imperial concubine, but the queen has to take care of her body." ”

Qingge smiled and nodded, watching the king leave, before he sat down on the ground and cried in a low voice. The palace maid didn't know what was wrong with the queen, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Qingge didn't hear all this, and just cried bitterly. The girl who said her name for the first time, the girl who practiced calligraphy with the kite, and the girl who deceived herself with the tenth master, all married away with her, and there was no possibility of goodbye.

Qingge cried, and said in a sad voice: "Girl, you lied to me, you said you would see you again......"

The snow was still falling outside, as if it was going to be ten days and ten nights, and the crying inside the house was also low and deep, as if it was about to cry all the tears of this life......

Spanning thousands of miles, in a small place in the northwest, Fu Yue calmly listened to his subordinates report the news of the Qi Dynasty, and when he heard the death of the imperial concubine, his figure shook unconsciously. The subordinate hurriedly asked, "...... Are you okay? ”

Fu Yue just said lightly: "You go down first, I want to stay by myself for a while." ”

The subordinates hurriedly retreated, Fu Yue covered his chest, let out a long breath, and sat down quietly with an expressionless face. Her heart was so sad, but she would never cry again, and the time she cried to Chuxi was the last time she cried. Now that she is in a high position, she can't cry and can't cry.

The bottom of her eyes was dry, and Fu Yue blamed herself and said to herself: "I must have hurt Chu Xi, and I left the root of the disease in her heart." ”

Fu Yue still remembered the lotus flowers in the palace, the last pain she felt in the hot weather, and Qi Yue, and Qi Yue's personable and nervous appearance.

Fu Yue just closed his eyes quietly and didn't move, and some subordinates outside the house didn't understand it, just stayed outside, waiting for Fu Yue to pass them on.

And then to the south, all the way south, to the southernmost place, where the seasons are like spring, and it is the season of ploughing. The fields are full of men and women.

A few women guessed the newly moved family, and one said, "I heard that they are court officials!" ”

The other scoffed and said, "Who are you fooling, this?" It's just a letter like you that has never seen the world! The great officials do not stay in that good place to enjoy the blessings, come to us to do something! ”

One said: "Maybe it's a raid?" Convicted? ”

Several people retorted to her and said: "Nonsense, if you are guilty, you will be killed a long time ago!" ”

A few people were discussing, but they saw the son of the family passing by with a hoe, and greeted them: "Hello ladies and sisters, in Xia Wang Nai Halberd, the first time I came here, I want to ask my father and fellow villagers to take care of me." ”

A few people smiled awkwardly, and Wang Naiji asked with a smile: "I don't know what a few ladies are talking about?" Can you let me listen to it below? ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, pushing, one reluctantly smiled: "A few of us pulled the tongue of our wives, saying that the emperor's imperial concubine is gone, the emperor is very sad, tell the world, you see, this may be a beautiful person!" The emperor will never forget! ”

Wang Naiji was stunned, and asked again: "The imperial concubine is gone?" Is that true? ”

Another said: "There are notices everywhere, and the queen is posthumously crowned, which can be regarded as blessed!" ”

Wang Naiji hurriedly turned his head and left with a hoe, and several people chattered behind him: "I'm not the son of a big family yet, and I left before I worked!" So just starve to death! ”

Wang Naizheng hurriedly returned home, and saw that Wang Naizheng was stroking the kite, so he put down the hoe and sat next to Wang Naizheng, but he didn't know what to say. Wang Naizheng played "Liang Zhu" played by Chu Xi many years ago, and she wrote it down after playing it once. Although Wang Naiji didn't know the twists and turns in the story of this song, he could still hear the slightest sadness and helplessness, so he said softly: "The first day is gone." ”

Wang Naizheng smiled faintly and said, "I know." ”

Wang Naiji looked at Wang Naizheng and saw that his heart was like a kither that stopped water, so he had nothing to say, just sat quietly on the side, listened to the bleak song, and sighed softly.

After a while, two lines of tears slipped down Wang Naizheng's eyes, and he said lightly: "Brother, Chu Xi actually went, do you believe it?" ”

Wang Naiji sighed, smiled lightly, and said: "Although Chu Xi is the imperial concubine, I will say something disrespectful, she is the most eccentric, I would like to believe that she is living freely in which place." ”

Wang Naizheng turned around, looked at Wang Naizheng and smiled lightly: "Brother, do you think so too?" ”

Wang Naiji looked at Wang Naizheng and smiled faintly. Wang Naizheng also smiled, and he felt at ease with the kite, but he changed the elegant tune, and it was no longer a miserable feeling, Wang Naizheng looked at Wang Naizheng and sighed secretly in his heart: It can only be such a comfort to the kite, I hope she can come out as soon as possible and be better to herself.

The four seasons are like the warm wind of spring blowing quietly, and the sound of the guzheng is tinkling, like the sound of heaven, floating in the air......

The notices are all over the world, and Yuyu also learned about it from others, and Yuyu, who has long been married to a woman, is still in pain. The four brothers live in a remote countryside, and they do their duty as farmers, and Xiang'er and Lin'er also marry in a village not far away, and their lives are very leisurely.

Yuyu picked a time to go to see these palace people who were together in the past, but he didn't tell them the news that Chu Xi had gone, and the emperor was far away, and it was difficult to know such big news in such a remote place. Yuyu thought, let them think that the girl is still alive and healthy, or the royal concubine who is rumored to have regained her favor in the streets and alleys.

All love and hatred have finally come to an end, and the origin and extinction are just a dream.

Many years later, the leaked versions of the story are not the same, but there is still such a legend in Lingxian County, which is said to have a royal concubine who favored the harem.

According to the Manuscript of the History of Qi,

Rui Di Han, the son of Empress Chen, the former name is regretful and the latter is Han. Talented and beautiful, brave champion of the three armies, independent of the world, handsome, like an immortal. Fine poetry, tonal rhythm, good at riding and shooting, and resisting the enemy for thousands of miles. Repeatedly retreated from the enemy, banned pirates, and had outstanding military achievements, which others could not match. In the forty-eighth year of Fengde, he married the grandson of the deposed prime minister, and was later deposed due to misfortune. After marrying Ming Yi again, Ming Yi was the latter, whose name was Chu Xi, his family background was unknown, he was described as clear and beautiful, and he was especially good at stroking the kite. In the third year of Chongde, the emperor mourned very much, and the six palaces were abolished. In the twenty-first year of Chongde, the emperor collapsed, and the queen was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the sycamore was planted all over. The emperor has no children, and he inherits the throne with the son of the five kings Qi Yue.
