Chapter Twenty-Eight: Concubine Shu Yuede

Early the next morning, Mo Yu woke up from her sleep and lifted the curtain as usual, but was startled when she was in sight, and knelt down in a room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Say hello to Concubine Li, I wish Niangniang a healthy phoenix."

Mo Yu hadn't changed from the fright just now, and was blessed by a room full of people. Only then did I remember that she is now the concubine of the emperor of Zhou, she is already married, and she is already living in her husband's house. There was no one around, and she didn't even know when the emperor left. "Get up!"

How beautiful the word is, how can she afford it!

In the palace, the rules are different from those in the Kifu. There are people waiting for you every step of the way, and I am like a person who can't take care of myself. After washing, she sat in front of the mirror, and Yunshang curled her hair. Looking at the heavy bun, she really didn't want to toss. "Yunshang, can it be simpler?"

"It's not right, Concubine Li."

Whose voice is this? Mo Yu looked at the person who spoke, it was a grandmother of about forty. When did there be another grandmother in this temple? "Who is this?"

Mama dressed and saluted, "Concubine Li, the old slave is Mama Sun." Today is the first day of being the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family, and the queen mother is afraid that you will not adapt to the rules of the palace, so she sent an old slave to serve. ”

It means that when the service is over, she will go back to where she came from! It's pretty much the same, she doesn't like an old man following him all day long. Mo Yu bowed slightly, "There is the Empress Dowager Lao." ”

Mama Sun stood up, walked behind Moyu, took the comb in Yunshang's hand, and said, "Niangniang, you have to go to see the Queen Mother today, so you are dressed up generously and decently." Then you have to go to Shuyue Palace to meet Concubine De Niangniang, as well as the Shufei Niangniang of Yuehua Palace, these two Niangniang's grades are higher than you. ”

After the emperor was not established, the four concubines of Guide Shuxian only had Concubine De and Concubine Shu, Concubine De was the daughter of Prime Minister Wang Pu, most of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were their horse heads, and Concubine Shu was the daughter of Fan Ai, the general of Zhenguo, who was in charge of half of the army of the Zhou State. One article and one martial arts, the bowl of water in the emperor's harem is very balanced.

After everything was ready, Mo Yu took Yunshang and the two palace maids to the Ciming Palace.

The last time I came to Ciming Palace, it was my mother-in-law's daughter-in-law, and now I am a daughter-in-law to meet my mother-in-law. What a quick transition!

The Ciming Hall has not changed much, only a flower has been changed under the window. Mo Yu came to the Queen Mother and knelt down to salute. "The concubine visits the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an."

The Queen Mother smiled and gave her a hand. "Quick, get up, come to the mourners."

Mo Yu sat beside the Queen Mother as she said, silently letting the Queen Mother look at her.

The Queen Mother asked: "Are you still used to living in the palace, is the emperor good to you?" ”

What if she says it badly? Moyu bowed her head and replied one by one: "It's all good, the emperor is good for the concubines, and Mama Sun takes good care of them." ”

The Queen Mother patted Moyu's hand and said, "That's good, what is missing, tell the mourning family, this will be your home in the future, don't be afraid." ”

"Yes."

At this time, there was a voice outside the hall, "Concubine De Niangniang has arrived." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Mo Yu with a smile and said, "Yo, she has caught up, and you don't need to go to her palace to ask for peace in a while." ”

As he finished speaking, he saw a woman wearing a Feiyun oblique bun and a colorful dark flower cloud brocade palace costume come in, walked in front of the Queen Mother, and bowed. "Concubines see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." Then he raised his head, looked at Mo Yu who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "This is Concubine Li, a person who is more Peugeot, and he deserves the word Li." ”

"Concubines, see Concubine De Niangniang." Concubine De's position is higher than that of Moyu, and she naturally has to salute like Concubine De.

Concubine De hurriedly walked up to her, helped her up, and said, "How can you make this big gift, this will cost my life." ”

"As it should be."

"Alright, alright." He smiled and beckoned to them, saying, "Xiao Anzi, sit down." ”

Originally, Moyu and the Queen Mother sat together, but now that Concubine De came, the Queen Mother said to sit down, and Moyu naturally walked down, thanked her, and sat down with the permission of the Queen Mother.

Concubine De naturally sat on the main seat with the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Just looking at the portrait, I feel that she is a person who is as beautiful as a flower, and after seeing a real person, I feel that Concubine Li is clean and refined, like a fairy!" ”

"Concubine De has won the award, Concubine De Niangniang has an outstanding demeanor, grace and luxury, and the concubine is ashamed of herself."

Women like to be praised by others, from ancient times to the present, without exception, Concubine De's face is smiling like a flower.

"I heard here before that the Queen Mother said that you play the flute well. Originally, the concubine didn't believe it, but later, the emperor asked Xiao Mazi to find a person who played the flute everywhere in the palace, and that person was probably your sister! ”

She first called Moyu her sister, but Moyu didn't dare to call her her sister for granted. "Concubine De said that she laughed, and the concubine only knows some small tunes in the countryside, and she can't be on the stage."

"How can you say that you can't get on the stage, otherwise how could the emperor look for you?"

The implication is that Mo Yu said that the tune he played couldn't be on the stage, so the emperor listened to some things that couldn't be on the stage, what was the emperor? Mo Yu was shocked, this concubine can be in charge of the harem, it is really not simple, it seems to be approachable and amiable, but two or three sentences can kill people invisibly.

Mo Yu hurriedly got up and knelt down, "What Concubine De taught is that the concubine lost her words, please forgive the Queen Mother, please forgive Concubine De Niangniang." ”

Concubine De got up and helped Mo Yu up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and then immediately disappeared. "What is my sister doing, it's just a joke between sisters, why take it seriously!"

Joking about the emperor, or in front of the queen mother, she is really bold enough. Mo Yu sneered in her heart, not laughing at Concubine De, but laughing at herself. After reading so many books in vain, it's just a matter of paper, and people want to trap her, but it's just a matter of two sentences.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but she didn't dare to get up, so she still knelt with her head bowed. The Queen Mother saw that it was almost over, so she said, "Okay, Mo'er, get up quickly!" He turned his head and said angrily to Concubine De: "You are also very good, what are you doing to scare her?" ”

Concubine De didn't care, "The Queen Mother is not strange, the concubine is so cute that she saw Concubine Li's sister, so she couldn't help but tease, hehe!" Sister, I didn't scare you! ”

What if she said, "You scared the hell out of me"! "No, it's the concubine who doesn't know how to joke."

"Well, you're here today, so feast your ears! Mo'er, maybe play a song for the mourning family today? The Queen Mother hurriedly diverted the topic.

Concubine De said with a little coquettishness: "Queen Mother, the concubine heard that Concubine Li's sister was here, so she rushed to listen to the first flute music. The queen joked with me again, saying that you want to listen to the piano. ”

"Okay, I didn't say it's just playing the piano! Now, Mo'er is here, let her decide for herself, see if she wants to play the piano or the flute. ”

Mo Yu really felt that it was really tiring to deal with this kind of thing, didn't she know if she was playing as a palace maid? Even Yunshang behind her could hear that she was playing tricks on her mother. What to say let her make her own decisions, sitting in front of her, one is the emperor's mother, the current queen mother, and the other is Concubine De, one of the four concubines, is in charge of the seal, does she have a choice? Whatever you choose is wrong.

"Queen Mother, do you think this is good, I will play the piano first, and then play the flute. I heard that there is a pipa in the Empress Dowager's palace that Loulan Kingdom paid tribute to the Han Dynasty, I wonder if the Empress Dowager can let the concubine pluck one or two strings? ”

"Oh, Concubine Li is still proficient in pipa?" The Queen Mother asked incredulously.

"It's not proficient, it's just a little learned. Although he is not good at learning, out of curiosity, he still wants to see his true face. ”

As if she had found a bosom friend, the Queen Mother happily instructed: "Xiao Anzi, bring that pipa, the mourning family will not listen to the piano today." ”

Xiao Anzi hurriedly went to get the pipa according to the order, and Mo Yu sat down, and when she saw Concubine De's pale face, she didn't speak. pretended to be confused and said: "I heard that Concubine De is good at dancing, and a phoenix dance for nine days back then can be described as a sensation in the whole city." Moyu regretted that she was born at the wrong time and could not see the demeanor of Concubine De. ”

The Phoenix Dance Nine Days is the most proud dance of Concubine De, seeing Mo Yu praise it like this, she was naturally proud, and even her face returned to normal, and she held her head high and said: "I still miss it at that time, the emperor chose a concubine because of this Phoenix Dance Nine Days." ”

Suddenly, she was overjoyed, as soon as Concubine Li said this, she had an idea, if the emperor saw this dance again, would he spoil her again like he did at the beginning! It's just that now that I'm older, my body has long been out of shape, and with neglect of practice, I'm afraid it will take some time to practice back to the previous situation.

At this time, Xiao Anzi happened to take a pipa in and handed it to Moyu. Mo Yu took it, adjusted his sitting posture, and looked at it carefully, the body of the piano was made of old mahogany, and the panel was also painted with the patterns on the Dunhuang murals, which was lifelike. I plucked the strings, and the sound of "bang" was very crisp and bright.

Seeing what he loved, Moyu didn't forget to thank him, "It's really a good pipa." Thank you Queen Mother for your appreciation. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "Concubine Li, the mourning family is not just for you to see. Among the pipa songs, it is the best in "Overlord Reloading", can today's mourning family have that blessing to listen to? ”

"Moyu obeys the will of the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother wants to listen to the tune, who dares to disobey?

The sound of "scream" sounded, as if the general ordered the troops out of the battle, the soldiers fought bravely with the sound of the drum to kill the enemy, and then the Han army shook the heart of the Chu Jun army with a song "Embattled", and finally the soldiers died, the grain and grass have been decided, and Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself. There is not only the dull and tragic spirit of "pulling out the mountains and covering the world", but also the helplessness and desolation of "Yu Ji Yu Ji Nai Ruohe".

The overlord unloaded his armor, and the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu ended with Liu Bang's victory. If Xiang Yu had enough grain and grass back then, it might not be Liu Bang who established the Han Dynasty. But no matter who wins or loses, the most innocent is the woman who regrets the world and Xiang Yu regrets for the rest of her life - Yu Ji. The woman who once said that "Han Zhi has landed, embattled, the king is exhausted, and the concubine He Qingsheng", who understands the despair and pain in her heart!

Mo Yu sighed secretly in her heart, whether it was Yu Ji in the troubled times or Yang Yuhuan in the peaceful world, their fate has never been determined by themselves. Shame and trouble, but who has asked them, who exactly have they wok?

The last aftermath was overwhelming, Moyu withdrew his hand, and the song ended.

"Sure enough, it's a famous song! It is enough for the mourning family to hear this again in this life. The Queen Mother looked out the window, with confusion in her eyes, as if she was looking at a certain place and was not, probably recalling something! She has had a lot of stories in her life! "The mourning family is old, this pipa, the mourning family can't play it, and keeping it is just dust, give it to you!"

Mo Yu was flattered, and suddenly received such a heavy reward, which always felt that it was not a good thing. "Queen Mother, this pipa must be your heart's love, such a heavy gift, the concubine deserves it."

"The love of the heart? It's just a dead thing. Love, just stay in the bottom of the heart, if the pipa does not sound for a long time, that love will slowly fade with time, only if it often sounds its own voice, love will have life. ”

I don't know why, Moyu has an illusion that the Queen Mother seems to be talking about this pipa, but it doesn't seem to be. Father-in-law An beside him smiled and said: "Concubine Li, this pipa is like the queen mother's mind, you must put it away, and when you have time, you can also bring it to play a song or two for the queen mother." ”

"Thank you for the reward."

"Look at me, I forgot what I was talking about, Mo'er hasn't played the flute yet, I'm afraid Concubine De is in a hurry!"

Concubine De smiled awkwardly. She didn't understand the pipa, so it was naturally boring to listen to, but she still said respectfully: "Sister Lifei's pipa song is also fascinating to listen to, and the concubine is so blessed today." ”

A palace maid took the jade flute and handed it to Moyu, who took it and asked, "I don't know what song Concubine De wants to hear?" ”

Concubine De said casually: "Hey, I'm not very good at music theory, my sister can pick a blow that I'm good at." ”

That's not good! Mo Yu looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment, but saw that the Queen Mother nodded slightly at her, and she had no choice but to obey.

At that time, Concubine De danced the phoenix dance for nine days, which was to enjoy the sound of drums. Mo Yu opened his lips and turned the drum music of the nine days of the phoenix dance into a flute sound. When Concubine De heard the familiar tune, she seemed to be in the scene of dancing the phoenix dance for nine days, and she was overwhelmed.

Good memories are always pleasant, and Concubine De is no exception. A song of phoenix dance for nine days, blowing out the momentum of the dance, smart. The last coda is crisp and neat, like a drum beating that stops abruptly. Concubine De opened her eyes, smiled at the Mo Yu in front of her, and said, "Sister Concubine Li is really talented and clever!" ”

"Concubine De has won the award."

The Queen Mother also agreed. "It's a pity that you've lived in the country all these years."

This was said ambiguously, but Moyu knew what the Queen Mother meant. Because the Queen Mother's eyes at this moment are very similar to the look in her eyes when she saw the old lady for the last time yesterday, it is a look of regret.

But Concubine De didn't know, because she said, "Isn't it! If Concubine Li's sister lives in the capital, with her talent, I am afraid that she will already be famous all over the world. ”

"Concubine De has won the award."

Concubine De is a little stupid, every time she praises something, Concubine Li has nothing to say except "I have won the award". It made her feel like she was singing a one-man show.

The three of them chatted a little more, and it was almost noon, and after the Queen Mother left the two of them to eat, she shirked the need to rest and drove them out. When she arrived at the gate of Ciming Palace, Concubine De said that she was going to Concubine Ning to see Princess Jingde, who was cold, and Moyu had to take Yunshang back to Yuxian Palace, and she had to go to Concubine Shu's Yuehua Palace in the afternoon to ask for peace!

After Concubine Li and Concubine De left, only the Queen Mother and Father-in-law An were left in the palace, the Queen Mother supported her forehead, very tired, Father-in-law An walked behind her and gently massaged her with two fingers. The Queen Mother closed her eyes in enjoyment and said quietly: "I gave it to Concubine Li, are you unhappy?" ”

Father-in-law An kept his fingers and said, "The Queen Mother must have your consideration when she does this." ”

"This time you guessed wrong, the mourning family didn't think about anything, just gave it to her. Because in this palace, there is still her who can play this pipa. ”

"It's all to blame on the old slave, if the old slave can still play this pipa, the queen mother won't send it out."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "We are all old, and our fingers are not as flexible as when we were young, and it is normal that we can't move." And to press it to the bottom of the box to cover the dust, it is better to find a master for it and realize its value. I don't know if the mourning family is blessed, and I can listen to it once or twice. ”

"If the Queen Mother likes it, she can wear Concubine Li to play at any time."

"Concubine Li is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch, let's let her play the piano, she said to play the pipa. Her heart is not easy to control! ”

Gonggong An smiled, rubbed it gently from his temples to his neck, and said, "No matter how difficult it is to control, she is also in the palace now, and she still can't escape from the palm of your hand of the Queen Mother." ”

"I hope so!"
