Yu Xi hesitated again in her heart, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and then sat down the steps beside Pingyao.

"Sister Pingyao, how long have you been sitting here?"

Pingyao raised his head slightly, his eyes stopped in front of her forehead, and he smiled sideways: "It's been a while." ”

Under the moon, the two of them were dressed in light-colored palace clothes, sitting on the jade steps, speechless for a while, looking at the empty corner of the palace in a daze.

The emperor has always liked to be plain and empty, and he doesn't even let the extra flowers and plants be placed, so the courtyard has always been empty. The flowers and branches worn by the other palaces are colorful and colorful, and the emperor never says much. In the Qianyang Palace, you can only wear plain clothes. If it weren't for the bad luck of white, they almost all asked to wear white clothes.

Yuxi sighed and said: "There are no flowers and plants planted in this courtyard, and it looks a little lifeless." ”

Pingyao said with a smile: "If you can get some beautiful flowers and plant them in this yard, I think the master will also agree." ”

Yu Xi's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Really? Before Pingyao could answer, he lowered his head and said, "Let's talk about it later." ”

Pingyao smiled sideways, and under the moonlight, Yuxi couldn't help but be shocked. Usually look at Pingyao is also beautiful, today under the moonlight, there is some indescribable grace and nobility, and then look at her when she is not smiling, the corners of the lips are also slightly raised arc, the heart said, Sister Pingyao is still born with diamond lips, in the future, will be rich.

"Sister Pingyao," Yu Xi raised her head and asked, "Can you tell me the story of the two concubines and the Queen Mother?" ”

Pingyao's eyes flickered, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, "These are the most taboo in the palace, I said, it is a capital crime." If you hear it, it's also a capital offense. Now, do you still want to ask? ”

Yu Xi sighed and said with a smile: "Sister, do you like Mr. Wang's ornaments?" He was a jade carver for the royal court, and his works have been passed down to the world. ”

Pingyao nodded, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "It's better to start with Emperor Yanxi first." ”

The moonlight is quiet, and the story slowly unfolds with her peaceful words.

The ancestors of Moqing had a rule that the emperors of the Moqing Dynasty needed to travel away from home when they were young in order to inherit the unification. When Emperor Yanxi was a teenager, he met a medical woman. This person has long knee-length hair and is accustomed to plain clothes, which is said to be stunning. At that time, the unification of Kyushu was only a year or two, and the old emperor wanted to consolidate his power through marriage. And the successive emperors of the Moqing family all had their own romance, and their talents and martial arts were outstanding, and at that time, the forces of all parties were hot, and they each sent lobbyists to propose marriage. Later, the old emperor waited for the prince to come back, so he decreed that a princess of Reims should be designated as the future emperor. Seven days after the decree was given, the prince was finally urged back by a dozen secret decrees.

Yu Xi smiled and asked, "Is he going to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Pingyao smiled: "Yes and no." He's coming back to get married. “

Yu Xi smiled: "Is it for the medicine girl?" “

Pingyao didn't answer, but continued: "The old emperor trapped Emperor Yanxi in the palace, and he had no choice but to marry the princess and ascend the throne. In the second year of the wedding, there was a little prince, who was later Emperor Yonghe. Since Emperor Yanxi had a little prince, it seems that he has forgotten about the medicine girl. In those years, the days were peaceful, and after seven or eight years, the woman suddenly appeared in the camp of the big tent. She was joined by three other men. That night, the three men split Kyushu into four. After Emperor Yanxi's edict announced to the world, he couldn't afford to get sick. Half a year later, I went. On the day of the funeral, the woman and Emperor Shang of Xuanbei came hand in hand, stood on top of the temple, and despised everyone. Since then, Emperor Yonghe has hated Xuanbei. ”

Yu Xi raised her head and suddenly asked, "Sister, how do you know that woman is stunning?" ”

Pingyao said with a smile: "There are portraits of her in the palace before, so I have naturally seen them." ”

Yu Xi sighed and continued to ask: "That woman later got along with the monk emperor?" ”

Pingyao shook his head and smiled: "Where? Emperor Shang married the sister of the current Queen Mother, the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Hua, not her. The woman never appeared again, and she disappeared nowhere. ”

Yu Xi looked at her sideways and listened to her continue: "After Emperor Yanxi went, the Queen Mother learned the previous lesson. When he arrived at Emperor Yonghe, he first entered two concubines in the palace, which are now Duanqin Concubine and Fuyi Concubine. The Queen Mother wanted to draft a draft girl, but she didn't know what was going on with Emperor Yonghe, so she refused. It is said that the man of the Moqing family is cold by nature, and he is extremely cold about emotions, and I don't think so. Fortunately, the two advanced concubines and the queen mother who entered the palace later have their own origins, and they both have a son, but they get along extremely harmoniously. ”

Yu Xi smiled, crossed his fingers and said: "The eldest prince Mo Qing Xuanyin is twenty-three years old this year, the second prince Mo Qing Jinnuo is twenty years old, and our emperor is eighteen years old this year." According to this calculation, it was Concubine Duanqin who entered the palace first? ”

Pingyao glanced at her, and Yuxi knew that she was going to blame again, so she beat her legs a few times and stood up. "Sister Pingyao, I asked you to tell me about the three mothers, but you told me all the stories of the love rivals of the queen mother, this is a bit off-topic, right?"

Pingyao stretched his legs, raised his head and smiled deliberately: "Really? So what do you want to hear? ”

"For example, how did a boy meet a girl? Why did you fall in love at first sight, and also, which lady did the emperor like the most? Yuxi stretched in the courtyard and said.

"Oh, I see, you want to hear this."

Yuxi sat down again, and listened to Pingyao continue: "The first emperor married Duanqin Princess, the two have known each other since childhood, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and it is a matter of course. The first emperor married the concubine who was clothed, but it took some thought. This is indeed the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman. ”

Yu Xi raised her eyebrows, wanting to hear the following.

"It was a rainy day, and the twilight smoke stained the willows. A pair of swallows hovered back and forth in the air. ”

Hearing this, Yu Xi felt very interesting, and couldn't help laughing, "Sister Pingyao, have you started telling stories?" ”

Pingyao Zhengse said: "What I said was the scene at that time, don't interrupt me." ”

Yuxi nodded again and again, and the sound of Pingyao like water, flowing with the moonlight, meticulously depicted the scene of the day.

A bright girl leaned on the side of the stone bridge, holding a tender willow in her hand, glanced at the chess game on the wall, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the willow branch in her hand was gently raised, "Go up to three grids, fall down." "After five squares, the abandoned son does not need it." "The previous square, eat."

This girl is the only young lady in General Cai's mansion, Cai Fuyi. At that time, she stood alone three feet away, playing against seven people, commanding and calm. The seven men were gradually defeated and dejected. Hand all the gambling money to the family members who accompanied her.

The girl took the gambling money and was about to leave. I only heard one person smile faintly: "Miss, can you play a game with Zaixia?" ”
