Chapter 63: Concubine Yang

Facing the warm spring sun, overlooking the bustling Chang'an Avenue in the distance, the bustling flow of people is surging like a tide, from time to time stirring into a carriage that is squeezed almost unable to walk, and the shouting in the mouth of the coachman who is driving the car is almost like reaching the ears, so clear and full of vitality. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Standing on a small building in the northwest corner of Changyin Garden, the merchant looked at the scenery in front of him with some sighs, although he couldn't leave the palace, but it was good to be able to see it like this, Chang'an! When will I be able to join the flow of people and be a leisurely and free person?

"Merchant!" Ruyi shouted from downstairs.

"I'm here." The merchant replied with a loud voice, patting the wrinkled garment leaning against the railing, and the merchant turned to look at the staircase.

Since the beginning of formal music and dance training, they have had a normal rest time, and they can also walk around the Changyin Garden when they are free, but they can't go out of the garden. After several expeditions by Shang Shang and Ruyi in the garden, this small building in the northwest corner of Changyin Garden has become a favorite place for Shang Shang. In her spare time, she always likes to stand on this floor and look at the scenery outside the imperial city.

I don't know what this small building is used for, since the merchant found this small building, I have never seen anyone come in, although all the furnishings in the house are clean and tidy, obviously someone cleans it regularly, but a room where no one lives, even if it is carved beams and paintings, magnificent, but always a little less popular, let people look empty.

"You're here again, I don't know what you're looking at upstairs every day? Is the crowd outside the palace so beautiful? Looking at it from such a distance, isn't it like a swarm of ants? Ruyi lifted the corner of her skirt and went upstairs, while muttering in her mouth, it has been three or four days since she entered the palace, except for training or training, except for Changyin Yuan, you can't go anywhere, it's really boring, where is there so comfortable in the workshop!

"I just don't have anything to do, take a look here, you don't have to come to me." Shang Shang smiled at Ruyi's stupid face, knowing that she was a little concerned about herself, and seeing that her mood was not high, she specially looked for it.

"Who has time to come to you? It's time to go for lunch. Ruyi replied loudly with some concealment, but there was a little blush on her face, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw that she was still a nineteen-year-old woman! It's not a city, likes and dislikes are so obvious!

In order to ensure the physical strength of these kabuki, the dining room in the palace still prepared three meals a day for them, although it is not necessarily a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the imperial kitchen in the palace is the imperial kitchen, many dishes are very exquisite, although it is mainly beef and mutton, but there is no peculiar smell at all, it melts in the mouth, but let the merchants be a little inspired, secretly pondering the new dishes, planning to go back to Luoyang to say that they will try it with Song Ma, so that the kitchen can have a few more attractive signature dishes.

"Let's go! If you don't leave, the food should be cold. The merchant took Ruyi and walked downstairs all the way to the dining hall.

Just turned the door of the cave for a month, I saw a line of palace beauties in front of me, when the head of a person in the shape of a na, between the actions like a weak willow wind, draped in the arm of the lotus lotus color cloak slowly fluttering, like smoke and fog, the high palace bun on a branch of beads swaying and shaking, even if the beauty between the eyebrows is far away, it is still dazzling.

Shang Shang and Ruyi were stunned for a while, looking at the palace clothes on this woman, it must be the main seat in the palace, but this Changyin Yuan has never had any nobles coming, and suddenly saw this beautiful woman in full costume, both of them were stunned in the local area, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that the person had arrived in front of him, the merchant came to his senses, pulled Ruyi and knelt down on the side of the path, bowed his head and made a respectful gesture, lest he do not do well and make a mistake and attract a beating.

The prince would rather bear the name of lust, but also get rid of two time bombs that may cause danger to ensure his own safety, if he is guilty of his own carelessness, it will be self-inflicted.

"Who's kneeling?" The palace beauty suddenly stopped when she walked in front of the two of them, glanced at the two of them, and asked out loud.

"The slave merchant (Ruyi) is the singer of Changyin Yuan." Shang Shang slightly tilted his head and glanced at Ruyi, and said in unison.

"It turned out to be the singer of the edict, get up." The palace beauties looked at the two of them with gentle expressions, without the arrogance of being in the top position.

"Have you ever thanked Concubine Yang?" The female officer who was waiting on the side shouted softly, her voice was not harsh, but it was full of reminders.

"Thank you for your grace!" Shang Shang and Ruyi thanked each other before they got up and stood aside, still bowing their heads.

"Raise your head and take a look at this palace." The soft female voice continued.

Shang Shang and Ruyi had to raise their heads, and when they looked directly, they found that although the woman in front of them was no longer young, she had been pampered and well-maintained for many years, and the charm between her eyebrows had not decreased at all, but she had a more mature charm than the young and immature little girl. The large palace flowers inserted in the high palace bun bloomed extremely brilliantly in the sun, which made this woman even more graceful and luxurious.

"It's two beautiful embryos." Concubine Yang smiled softly, "It's both a collision and a fate, why don't you two accompany the palace for a walk?" Although it is a question, the tone contains a faint coercion, which makes it impossible to shirk.

"Yes!" Shang Shang and Ruyi glanced at each other, not understanding what the two of them would make Concubine Yang, one of the four concubines, look at each other, but they didn't dare to ask out loud, so they had to follow behind Concubine Yang and walk forward silently all the way. In this situation, Concubine Yang didn't speak, the two of them categorically refused to speak, and it was not unreasonable for the disaster to come out of their mouths.

Looking at Concubine Yang's graceful back all the way, Shang Shang couldn't help but think of her origin, for the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, there are different opinions in history, and there are many speculations about why she became Li Shimin's concubine, but in her opinion, no matter what the result is, this woman is actually sad.

Born a princess, after growing up to be a concubine, she has never been out of this square inch of land in her life, which is actually an unimaginable thing for businessmen, and there is also the most virtuous woman in history---- the coercion of the eldest grandson queen, so full of forbearance and loneliness, she can survive!

Or, if you haven't tasted freedom, you can't imagine it, right? This may also be her only luck.

Unconsciously, Concubine Yang actually walked downstairs to the merchant view, this small building has no name, and the appearance is also a decent palace architectural style, and the copper bells under the tall cornices jingle in the wind.

Concubine Yang stretched out her hand to push open the carved wooden door that was closed, and stepped in lightly on her toes, as if she was afraid of waking up something.

Shang Shang looked at Concubine Yang who pushed open the door in some surprise, she never thought that this small building that she often came to see would be the place where Concubine Yang, one of the four concubines, would go, but what made her a little curious was why Concubine Yang would let this small building be buried in Changyin Garden, and become a place where Kabuki like her could come in at any time?

"Do you know that this little building is the only place in the palace where you can see outside?" Concubine Yang turned her face, looking a little happy, looking at the businessmen and Ruyi who were standing aside.

Concubine Yang looked at the stairs in front of her, lifted her skirt, and walked up the stairs, and Shang Shang and Ruyi hurriedly followed. As soon as she went upstairs, Concubine Yang paced to the side of the railing, looking at the busy Chang'an Street through the layers of palace walls, and the burning yearning in her eyes made the businessmen feel a little sad.

"Where did you two come from?" Concubine Yang's eyes kept staring at the flow of people outside the palace wall, but she asked.

"The slave maid was selected from Luoyang Yunshui Fang." Shang Shang replied softly, looking at this woman who longed for the outside, Shang Shang did not dare to raise his voice, for fear that it would disturb her peace.

"Luoyang?" Concubine Yang's eyes showed a dreamlike light, Luoyang! This place that she has appeared countless times in her dreams, when her father was still there, he also took her to live in the palace in Luoyang for a period of time, the peonies bloomed very well that year, and the smell of flowers could be smelled all over the city, and she was still a carefree child who didn't understand anything at that time. My favorite is to play in the peony bush with the palace people, and let those palace people look for her everywhere.

Every time her father sees her, he will always spoil and say that he has a good daughter who is better than a peony!

"Yunshuifang?" The light in Concubine Yang's eyes slowly weakened, those past times were always like dreams, making people want to chase after them, but the past is over after all.

"Is Aunt Yun okay?" Concubine Yang looked at the two young women in front of her with some hope, her father had called her into the palace to accompany her, and intended to make her a concubine, but in the end, due to the opposition of the courtiers, it was finally over, and she liked her quite a day that day, and I don't know how she is now?

The merchant is a little unclear, so Shen Luoyun's age must not let Concubine Yang call her aunt, so who is the aunt she is talking about?

If I thought about it for a long time, I remembered that the first owner of Yunshui Fang was rumored to be fortunate to be Emperor Yang, and Concubine Yang didn't mean it?

"The old owner is now no longer a director, and he moved to the east gate of Luoyang, and most of them worship Buddha at home on weekdays, and rarely go out." Ruyi replied tentatively, and she wasn't sure if Concubine Yang was asking the old owner.

"Yes! She's old too! Concubine Yang lowered her head a little lonely, and only raised it again after a while, looked at the merchant and said: "You two are very good, this palace likes it very much, stay in the palace, return to Luoyang, the two of you must visit your old owner for the palace." Let's just say that this palace is very worried about her. ”

The merchant and Ruyi hurriedly agreed, although the old owner has long been gone, but if it is an old man, he should be accommodating, right?

Seeing that Shang Shang and Ruyi had agreed, Concubine Yang didn't speak anymore, turned around and silently looked at the flow of people outside the palace wall, the light in her eyes was no longer hot, but there was some twilight and dull death, as if she had completely lost hope, and people felt chills in their hearts.

The female official on the side saw that Concubine Yang was no longer talking, so she beckoned to Shang Shang and Ruyi, and motioned for the two to follow her downstairs lightly, leaving Concubine Yang alone to stand on top of the tall building and look out against the railing.

"It's good that you know today's things, and you can do your best to do what Concubine Yang explained, but you need to remember that trouble comes from your mouth." As soon as she got downstairs, the female official explained to the two businessmen with a serious face.

Which of the two businessmen is not a human spirit, and immediately understood that some words should not be said nonsense, so they both nodded with a smile on their faces, and said in a low voice, Don't dare to talk nonsense, the female officer looked at the two of them, waved her hand and ordered the two to go.

Until the two of them walked far away on tiptoe with their skirts and feet, they could still see the fence of the two-story small building, and a lonely lotus-colored figure stood there alone, with a slightly raised head and distant eyes, like a still painting, which made people sad!

This chapter is made up for last night, and the cold is coming, and it's really irresistible! I beg your pardon.
