"It's spring again, the flowers are blooming so beautifully, but, a hundred flowers are vibrant, how much spring is buried, spring, is the battle of flowers, and **, it is a woman's deception." She stood quietly by the flowers, her expression gloomy, as if a light veil covered her eyes, and sighed softly.

"Miss, what's the matter, being called by the master this morning is like a different person, I didn't eat a few bites of lunch and ordered to withdraw, in the past, I should have been in the room to play the piano, but today I was stunned here, Ping'er, do you know what happened in the morning, Miss is like this, I am really going to die." "Where do I know, Yun'er, you are Miss's personal girl, you don't know, I followed Madame all day, and I went with you to buy things this morning, I don't know, or let's ask Zixiang, I heard that Mrs. Yu and she were also there in the morning with the master."

Not far away, two girls stood behind the rockery, looking at her and whispering.

She was still standing there, surrounded only by the chirping of birds, and no one approached here, even the two girls, who could only watch from afar. A girl with a tea fruit walked up to her, saluted, and said a few more words to her, and she nodded slowly. Yahuan left with the tea fruit and walked to the rockery. "Zixiang, come here." Yun'er shouted Zixiang turned her head, saw the two people in front of her, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun'er, what's the matter, the old lady is still waiting for me to deliver the tea fruit." ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask you something, it won't be long before I have to serve Mrs. later, and you will say that I want you to help you when it is late, and if it is too late, you come over quickly." Ping'er hurriedly said and glanced at her again. Purple Spice couldn't refuse, but Ping'er was Madame's personal girl, so she couldn't afford to offend, so she walked quickly in front of them.

"Let me ask you, what did the master ask the young lady to do this morning." "Sister Yun'er, Sister Ping'er, don't you know yet?" Zixiang said.

Yun'er and Ping'er looked puzzled: "What do you know, I just want to know why Miss is like this, so you tell us quickly." ”

"That's right." Zixiang thought for a while and said, "This morning, I accompanied Mrs. Yu to the front hall to ask the lord for peace, and suddenly a father-in-law came to the door, saying that there was an edict from the Internal Affairs Office, and the two sisters were not there, so the lord told me to find the young lady, and the young lady came to the front hall, and the father-in-law did not read the edict, but handed the edict to the young lady, and asked the young lady to keep it, but the young lady did not reach out to take it, so the old man asked me to collect it for the young lady first, I was illiterate, and I didn't know what was written on it, and the man also said to the old man that some young ladies were selected. The future is immeasurable or something, the lord also asked Steward Li to reward him with some silver, and then I figured out that it was the edict of the draft, and the young lady is now a show girl to be selected, and it is time to enter the palace, I am afraid that the young lady will be reluctant to do so, the two sisters don't have to worry, if it's okay, I'll go first, the old lady is still waiting. Ping'er beckoned, and Zixiang left with the tea fruit. Yun'er looked at the sky and muttered out of concentration: "Xiunu, that is, the young lady is about to marry the emperor, which many people can't look forward to." ”

Ping'er frowned, raised her hand and shook it in front of Yun'er's eyes: "Hey, you're quite happy, but Miss is not happy, so you still don't go to persuade you." ”

Yun'er didn't say anything, secretly rejoicing, the Fu family is about to have an imperial concubine, even if it is a subordinate, she is happy in her heart.

She shook her head and turned around, her eyes calmed, the lotus step moved slightly, suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and looked around, and muttered: "Yun'er, where did you go again." ”

"Yun'er, Miss is looking for you, are you still happy, hurry up, I have to serve Madame too." Yun'er hurriedly came back to her senses, ran over with a smoke, and saluted: "Miss, the slave is here." ”

"Well, my father and mother are over there, and they are calling me over, let's go." Her voice was ethereal. "Yes." Yun'er replied.

She turned and walked forward, Yun'er following behind.

Her name is Qizheng, the daughter of the Fu family, and her father is a cabinet scholar. She and her eldest brother Fu Qi and second sister Fu Qishu were born to the wife of the main room, the third sister Fu Qiqin, and the fourth son Fu Yan, who died young, were born to the concubine Li. The Fu family is a famous family in Pingjing, Fu Renxian is an official in the court, he is valued by the first emperor, the official residence is a product, the daughter of the Qin family is Qishu, and she was married by the first emperor, married to the fourth son of the first emperor, and Prince Yu Qixun. And Qizheng, she is the youngest one, and she is also the one who cannot escape the fate of the daughter of the official family.

"Miss, are you still worried about the draft?" Yun'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Qizheng walking without strength.

Qizheng shook his head and said slowly: "I know that I can't escape such a fate, it's useless to worry, it's useless to complain, but if I want to resign myself to fate, I feel sorry and pathetic." ”

Yun'er pouted: "Yun'er doesn't have much knowledge, Yun'er doesn't understand what Miss said, it's just that Yun'er doesn't want to see Miss like this, Miss entered the palace, she became a master, she glorified her ancestors, Miss lived happily, Yun'er was relieved, why is Miss like this?" ”

Qi Zheng looked up at the sky, it was blue, there was not a trace of clouds, and occasionally a bird or two flew by

"Brocade clothes and jade food, gorgeous and rich, then I would rather be like them, carefree flying in their own sky, not dominated by others, no matter how big the Fu family is, no matter how big the palace is, it is just a golden silk birdcage, can't fly out, it's tantamount to a cage, no matter how much delicacies from the mountains and seas can't compare to the millet fragrance of the common people."

"Qizheng." A voice came, Qi Zheng withdrew her eyes, saw the person who came, and owed: "Auntie is well"

Yun'er also saluted: "Lady Jade." ”

"Don't be polite, the old lady saw that you hadn't come over yet, so she asked me to come and see, what's wrong, what are you looking at." With that, Li also looked up at the sky.

"It's nothing, I just smell the chirping of birds, and I can't help but look up, Auntie, let's go over quickly, so as not to wait for my father and mother." Qi Zheng changed a smile and hung on the two eyes.

Li turned around, leading the way in front of him, and Qi Zheng followed behind. Li Shi suddenly slowed down his pace and turned his head slightly: "Zheng'er, wait a minute, you will be happy when you see the old lady, so that they don't worry about you, you are a filial child, what your aunt means, you understand." ”

"Qizheng understands, aunt rest assured." She nodded. Continue to follow Lee's way. After walking for a while, near the edge of the pool, the willow trees rippled with silk, the Qi Zheng looked up, the emerald pool water was rippling, and the koi in the pool were playing, carefree, so comfortable. Crossing the curved bridge and walking into the small pavilion near the water, Qin and Fu Renxian were drinking tea inside, Zixiang, Ping'er and a few other girls stood aside and waited, Li stepped forward and bowed, and Qi Zheng also saluted: "Dad, mother." ”

"Five girls, come and sit." Qin Shi held the tea cup, carried the tea lid, and said lightly. Qi Zheng stepped forward and sat down beside Qin, squeezing a smile on her cheeks.

Qin put down the teacup, turned his eyes to look at Qizheng, and saw that Qizheng was carefree, took his daughter's hand, patted it, and said with a smile: "Mother was worried that you had wronged yourself because of entering the palace, but now when I see it, I let go a lot." He glanced at Ping'er again: "Ping'er, serve tea to Miss." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Ping'er leaned and left to prepare tea

"You can sit down." Fu Renxian glanced at the Li family. Li sat down next to the zither.

"It's okay if you're fine, even if there is something, the matter of the draft can't be changed, Zheng'er, although you don't want to enter the palace, people like us can't hide, Dad wants you to ......" Fu Renxian suddenly spoke, and before he finished speaking, he paused.

"My daughter knows that the Fu family is grateful to the emperor, and it is also appropriate for a daughter to enter the palace to serve the emperor, and the father and mother don't have to worry about their daughter, and entering the palace is not necessarily a bad thing." Qizheng didn't know where she got the courage to say this, just to ease her father's heart.

Fu Renxian listened to his daughter's words and nodded slowly: "If you can think like this, my father can rest assured, this is an edict, and I will hand it over to you to collect, and on the day of the draft, you will take it with you." ”

Zixiang on the side held the edict and handed it to Qizheng, who got up and took it with both hands before sitting down. Qin suddenly held his daughter's left hand, Qi Zheng looked at it, Niang's eyes moistened, Niang has always been so strong, this edict touched the softness of Niang's heart, Qi Zheng smiled comfortingly at Niang, and held the lacquered gold booklet tightly in her right hand, like holding the handle of a needle, pricking her hand painfully, Qi Zheng put the edict on her lap, reached out and patted Qin's hand.

Qin slowly let go of her hand, Qi Zheng realized that what her mother said just now was the same ......as her laughter, she knew in her heart that if she had more points here, Qin would not give up a point, and how could she not feel pain in her heart.

"Father, mother, if there is nothing else, my daughter will go back to the room to play the qin, and my daughter has composed a new song, and I want to get it done before entering the palace." Qi Zheng lowered his head lightly.

"Yes, let's go." Fu Renxian said

Qi Zheng saluted and left. Out of the small pavilion, Qi Zheng did not go back to the room, she bypassed the curved bridge, walked to a pavilion on the rockery and sat down alone, alone, looking at the flowers in the distance'**, what kind of place is that, how many bloody grievances are behind the singing and dancing, smiling like flowers, covering up the sinister hearts of people. They are lonely and self-appreciative, looking forward to the morning and dusk looking forward to the difficult to recognize the king's face, what they can't guess is the emperor's heart, only, the lonely lamp on the cold wall, and the tears are thousands. A man thought quietly.

"Fifth sister" A familiar voice sounded in Qizheng's ears, "What are you thinking?" ”

Qizheng looked back: "Brother, don't you know, someone from the Internal Affairs Office came in the morning." Her voice was extremely low, and I was afraid that even Fu Qi felt unfamiliar.

"I know, you're about to enter the palace, what's the matter, aren't you happy?" Fu Qi smiled, walked over to Qizheng and sat down.

Qizheng looked at his brother's eyes: "Should I be happy, if I go in that place, I can't get out again, there are countless women there, not one of them, why did you choose me." ”

"You, how to say it, of course I don't want you to go to that kind of place, intrigue is not for you, as soon as you see a poor person, your kind nature comes out, and I don't know what kind of trap you will encounter when you go there, but I don't worry about you." Qi Zheng saw that Fu Qi said very easily, and was puzzled, Fu Qi saw her like this, and stretched out his hand to the garden in front of him: "How is our Fu family's garden, and what about the Fu Mansion." ”

Qi Zheng glanced around: "Pavilions, small bridges, pavilions, ordinary nothing." ”

Fu Qi didn't seem to get a satisfactory answer, and sighed: "No wonder you can't see the things in it, I forgot it, you haven't even stepped out of the mansion a few times, in your eyes, the ordinary Fu family is already heaven in the eyes of others, and there are a few families in the capital who can have this garden." ”

Although he didn't understand it, Qizheng also understood the meaning of his words: "After entering the palace, with my identity, others will probably give three points, and who will come to harm me." Dad is a first-class scholar, if it is only this, there are a few families that can compete with the Fu family, but the power of the Qin and Fu families has to make them afraid, if you add Prince Yu...... The forces involved by me alone are enough to form a protective net, but I don't want to talk about this family background, in the eyes of others, I will just be reincarnated, or my father married a good family, married the prime minister's daughter and married the princess's daughter, even if I want to stammer, I am not convinced, why should I be discouraged. She thought about it.

"I understand my brother's words." Qi Zheng said lightly.

"Well, it's good that you understand, my father and mother are still over there, I'll go over and take a look, you can go back to the room quickly." Fu Qi left with a smile.

Watching Fu Qi leave, Qi Zheng lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to see a peach tree below full of peach blossoms, she got up and walked there, looked at the branches covered with peach blossoms, and stroked the flower surface with her fingers, 'No matter how many flowers there are, you can't be like this, listen to the arrangement of God, bloom in your own place'. "Peach Blossom is still smiling in the spring breeze" read softly, since there is no escape, only to face it bravely, obey the destiny of heaven, even if you can't stand out and it's difficult to win the favor, at least, you can still be yourself. ”

Qi Zheng took a deep breath and hurried back to the room.

glanced at the piano in front of the window, walked to the desk and sat down, looked at the unfinished piano score on the desk, picked up the pen and continued to write, looked up and looked around, and shook his head: "Maybe this is the only thing I can take away." ”

As everyone knows, this piano score written in her spare time took away everything that should belong to her......
