Chapter 9: Wu Meiniang's Secret

Five days have passed, but Tang Jun still has not heard from him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shang Shang sent the little palace maid Fu'er who followed him to inquire about the prince's East Palace for a few days, but the news that he got back was still that Li Jing was still in a coma. And Tang Jun disappeared after Harrier Eagle brought back a news of a return trip.

For some reason, as soon as he heard the news, Shang Shang had an ominous premonition in his heart, Tang Jun's disappearance must be related to Gao Yang, but even if the evidence is conclusive? With Gao Yang's status and favor, Li Shimin will never ask Gao Yang for his guilt!

After thinking about it, the merchant really couldn't think of anything he could help, so he sighed, sat back in the room, and plucked the strings on the piano platform for a while.

"Susle!" Fu'er's call came from outside the door.

Since the merchant got the edict of entering the Luoyang Palace as an internal official, because he really couldn't enter the palace with green sleeves, he had to arrange her in the kitchen, usually help the brothers to do some business, and when she was transferred to the Chang'an Taiji Palace, the palace arranged a little palace maid Fu'er to serve her with her, which is also a benefit for high-ranking female officials.

Shang Shang got up and opened the door of the house, a little strange what Fu'er told her to do at this time. In the past few days, the snow has stopped falling and stopping, and all the concubines have also taken shelter from the cold in their bedrooms, so that those of them who serve can also take the opportunity to hide and be lazy.

"Susle! Wei Guifei, Cui Zhaorong and Wang Zhaorong enjoyed the plum blossoms in one place, saying that they wanted Su Sile's good resignation, and sent Sister Chunzhu to invite them outside. ”

At the door opening, Fu'er led a pretty woman in a thick brocade robe to stand outside the door, and the merchant raised his eyes to see that it was Chunzhu, the palace maid beside Wei Guifei.

"Niangniang suddenly had this interest, but there is Lao Su Sile!" Chunzhu smiled, looking happy, humbled in his mouth, and bowed down towards Shang Shangfu.

"Su Lanxin, how can she be called, she just needs to call a little palace maid to say it, and she actually works with Miss Chunzhu to go out in person!"

The merchant turned sideways and refused to accept Chunzhu's salute, while reaching out to Chunzhu, Chunzhu did not refuse, and stood up straight with the merchant's hand, with a smile on his face.

"Chunzhu girl, wait a minute, Lan Xin will bring the zither strings."

turned around and entered the house, put the zither he had just been fiddling with in the zither bag and handed it to Fu'er to hold in his arms, turned around and closed the door of the house, and then followed Chunzhu to Wei Guifei's bedroom.

Wei Guifei's dormitory Ruixi Hall is close to the Yilan Hall of the martial arts, except for the Zhaoyang Hall where the late Empress Changsun lived, this Ruixi Hall is the largest one among the concubines' bedrooms. Different from the delicate and small of the Yilan Palace, the Ruixi Hall appears more magnificent, the glazed tile roof of the hall covered with snow under the sun reflects the dazzling silver light, making the whole Ruixi Hall look glorious, making people dare not look directly, the intricate twining pattern on the heavy hanging curtain is silently luxurious, showing the nobility of the master of the hall.

Before they got closer, there were already voices and laughter in the hall.

"Sister Wei's embroidered handkerchief is really beautiful, such a beautiful pattern, my sister has never seen it! I don't know if my sister can also draw a trick down, and Gai Ming'er will do the same? A crisp female voice grinned, and there was some flattery in her words, but it was not conspicuous, but it was comfortable to listen to.

"If you like it, this veil will be given to you, so why bother to make it." Wei Guifei's soft and gentle voice then sounded. This Cui Zhaorong has a lively temperament, but the thoughts in those words are too obvious, in the end, the time spent in the palace is too short!

"Then my sister will thank you sister!" Cui Zhaorong hurriedly handed the veil to the palace maid who followed him to put it away, turned his head and frowned slightly to look outside the door, but asked again: "Then why hasn't Su Sile arrived yet?" Don't you know that it was her sister who called her? ”

"There is still some distance to Changyin Garden, and the road is slippery in snowy weather, so it is also possible to slow down." Wei Guifei picked up a cloud cake on the table and put it in her mouth, her expression was indifferent.

"I've heard Su Sle for a long time, but I don't know if it's true?"

A light voice with some arrogance sounded, hearing this voice, Shang Shang suddenly felt a burst of amusement, no matter whether she was famous or not, she couldn't be offended, right?

"I forgot in this palace, Wang Zhaorong was also famous when he was in Jinzhong, but I don't know if this Su Sile in our palace can get into Wang Zhaorong's eyes?"

Wei Guifei's tone was light, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

This Wang Zhaorong has always relied on his family background and appearance, and never takes others in his eyes, even when he visits concubines with higher positions than her, he often holds a shelf and offends many people in the palace.

When Chunzhu led the merchant to the outside of the hall, he heard Wei Guifei's words that seemed to be light and serious.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although the family of scholars still occupied a large part of the positions in the court, unfortunately, the positions that could really grasp the lifeblood of the country in these positions had long since disappeared from the shadow of the children of these families, and were replaced by the children of the poor families who were not famous, and the family of scholars was gradually fading out of the political circle of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination system that began to be implemented in the Sui Dynasty and further improved in the Tang Dynasty accelerated the decline of the scholar family.

"Si Le Su Lanxin knocked on the concubine Niangniang, Cui Zhaorong, and Wang Zhaorong."

Chunzhu led the merchant into the door, and then walked to the side of Wei Guifei and stood down, and the merchant stood down and bowed to the three people in the main seat.

In order to look low-key, the merchant did not deliberately put on makeup, but simply pulled a high bun, inserted a tortoiseshell flat comb, and inserted a lake bead hairpin into the bun.

Except for Concubine Wei, the two Zhaorong present looked curiously at this Su Sile who had countless legends in the palace.

It turns out that the famous song "My Motherland" was sung by this woman who looks soft and weak?

Wang Zhaorong had to admit that he was still a little surprised, he originally thought that the person who would sing such a tune must be a woman with a heroic posture and no eyebrows, but only when she knew that the real person was in front of her that she was a bewitching beauty, although she didn't deliberately dress up, but the natural charm of Gu Pan still made Wang Zhaorong jealous.

"You're the Susle who sings about my homeland, right?" Unlike Wang Zhaorong's expressionless face, Cui Zhaorong stood up and walked to Shangshang's side and looked around her for a while.

"I didn't expect it to be such a beauty!" Cui Zhaorong's age is only the same as that of Shang Shang, his crisp voice is like Huang Ying'er out of the valley, and there is still some childishness in his words and deeds, which is far less calm than Wang Zhaorong.

"Get up! The main palace is also on a whim. remembered that you sang well, and Cui Zhaorong and Wang Zhaorong were here today, so I called you over. ”

Wei Guifei put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the merchant with a smile.

The status of merchants in the palace has always been relatively transcendent, of course, this is also a blessing thanks to Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, even if Wei Guifei, a person like the Sixth Palace, does not dare to give her a look.

"Thank you, concubine! Cui Zhaorong praised! Su Lanxin didn't dare to be ashamed! The merchant politely humbled a few words, then sat down on the spring stool sent by the little palace maids, and motioned for Fu'er to put the zither on the piano platform in front of him.

"I don't know what song Niangniang and the two Zhaorong want to hear?" Shang Shang adjusted the sound of the zither twice and asked out loud.

Wei Guifei was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard the businessman's question, but she woke up in an instant, and said with a smile: "This palace can't think of it at this time!" No matter what the tune is, you just have to sing it, these two Zhaorong here are from big families, if you have any questions, you can ask them for a lesson or two! ”

"Yes!" The merchant agreed softly and thought about it, "In the past few days, the snow has stopped and the wind has stopped, but the red plum blossoms are blooming just right, so Lan Xin sang a song of Yongmei and relieved the boredom with the three nobles." ”

Raised his hand and wiped the strings twice, and the sound of the water-like zither sounded in the hall, sometimes soothing like a spring, sometimes as urgent as a waterfall, and gradually overflowing like a tide.

After a prelude, the merchant began to sing: "I am afraid that I will be late for sleep, and I am afraid that the ice will not be able to enter." Pretending to be a small red peach and apricot color, there is still a lonely thin snow frost posture. The cold heart is not willing to follow the spring state, and the wine faints on the jade skin for no reason. The poet didn't know that Meg was there, and he looked at the green leaves and green branches. ”

This poem is from Su Shi's red plum. Shang Shang has always liked Su Shi's words very much, and felt that his words were very different from the general beautiful style of words, but had a heroic meaning, and it was very refreshing to read because of the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, but he still remembers it.

The sound of the zheng, the merchant and the merchant, with the meaning of the word, suddenly high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched, sometimes like a woman in white dancing gently, sometimes like an iron horse soldier fencing and singing, suddenly hurried and slow, as if resentful, the hearts of all the people in the hall trembled, thinking of the branches and tender stamens piled with snow, they were all stupid for a while!

After the merchant and the merchant finished singing, they slowly slowed down the rhyme, rested their hands, and when they raised their eyes, they saw that the three people in the hall were stunned and couldn't make a sound.

After a long time, I heard Wei Guifei take a long breath and chuckle: "That's it!" I knew that I would call you to come, and this palace is waiting for March and doesn't know the taste of meat! ”

Hearing Wei Guifei's voice, Cui Zhaorong and Wang Zhaorong woke up like a dream, and both of them had some embarrassing flushes on their faces, but Wang Zhaorong was shocked in his heart, this Su Sile had such a unique skill, how could he not be included in the palace by the emperor?

At this time, she had no jealousy at all, although she was famous in Jinzhong, but compared with Su Lanxin, it was simply a difference. If my motherland can still be said to be a slang song in the market, it is absolutely impossible to write this song Yongmei without years of text immersion, not to mention the Zheng song that complements each other, any one of them is taken out, and she Wang Zhaorong can't beat the horse!

"! It's getting late, do you want to see if you're going to eat here or ——? Chunzhu, who was beside Wei Guifei, looked at the sky and leaned into her ear and whispered.

Seeing that when they got the meal, Wang Zhaorong and Cui Zhaorong finally came back to their senses, and after listening to Chunzhu's whispering, they were also interested, and the two of them hurriedly stood up and said to Wei Guifei Yifu: "My sisters have been bothering for a long time, and they have hindered my sister's rest, so I will retire." ”

Wei Guifei saw that the two of them had been shocked by the talents of the merchants, and knew that they didn't dare to make waves in the palace for the time being, so she didn't care about herself, the beauties selected by these two families had not been in the palace for a long time, and it was enough to knock on the side, and she didn't want to be too obvious, so she smiled and ordered Chunzhu to send off the guests.

Shang Shang saw that the two Zhaorong were gone, and there was no need for him to keep them, so he also got up and retired, and Wei Guifei smiled and let the other palace maid give her a reward and let her go. Now that she has achieved her goal, she will not be stingy with rewards.

The merchant took Fu'er all the way back to Changyin Garden, thinking that he was used as a gun and couldn't help but laugh, looked at the Royal Garden nearby, remembered the red plum he sang, and suddenly became interested, thinking of going to the Royal Garden to fold two plums back to the house and insert a bottle, and it was not in vain that he sang her.

"Fu'er, you go back to get dinner first! I'll go to the Imperial Garden and fold two plums. The merchant waved his hand and ordered Fu'er to go back first, but he turned to the side of the fork in the road and headed for the Imperial Garden.

It was freezing cold, and there were no people in the garden, only a tree with dead branches and snow piled up, which formed a strong contrast with the prosperity and prosperity in spring. A white and vast scene, seeing that people's hearts are empty, and the coldness in the air seems to penetrate into the heart, cold to the heart and lungs.

The merchant suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a few red plum trees in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden, and it must be in full bloom at this time.

is going around a peach forest full of snow and leaves, while moving forward, I suddenly heard a voice from the forest next to the road, and I couldn't help but be surprised, at this time, all the palaces are going to pass the meal, except for her who is just about to rush back to eat, who will be here?

"And what do you want me to do?" A low female voice sounded, and there was shyness, forbearance, attachment, and many complicated things in her voice.

"Mei Niang! I don't want you to do it, it's just that I'm in a difficult situation right now, and we're afraid we won't be able to. Another male voice faintly came.

A look of surprise flashed in Shang Shang's eyes, and he subconsciously shrank behind the tree, and stretched his head out of the tree to look into the forest.

A figure in an apricot yellow shirt was hidden behind a tree, only a slender and powerful hand stretched out on the shoulder of Wu Meiniang, who was hanging her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was crying.

"But how can you let me stay alone in this deep palace! Even if you only allow me to have a tomorrow, even if you only coax me! ”

"Mei Niang! I can't coax you! The man behind the tree laughed miserably: "In all dynasties, for this position, I have always been full of bones, how can I keep my whole body out?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man took a half step forward, and a handsome face immediately appeared in front of the businessman, with a pair of beautiful eyebrows frowning slightly, a pale complexion, and a miserable look on his face!

When Shang Shang heard this, he was already shocked when he suddenly saw this person again, and a pair of jade white hands tightly covered his mouth.

This man in the forest turned out to be him?
