6. Phoenix Terrace
Murong Fenghua has always loved a book. The title of the book is "Phoenix Terrace".
There are no amazing sentences in the book, only one sentence, which makes Murong Fenghua unforgettable.
"The phoenixes are in a pair, flying to the smoke and rain. And now, the phoenix is gone, and the phoenix is empty. ”
Every time he reads this sentence, Murong Fenghua always has an ethereal expression, and often remembers the woman he put on the tip of his heart, his Ah Zhuo.
Since going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to control the water, it has entered the rainy season.
Outside the curtains, the drizzle was lingering. It's like the outright lovesickness, lingering. Murong Fenghua leaned on the couch, suddenly startled, and muttered: "Ah Zhuo, Ah Zhuo." ”
But what responded to him was always a bleak courtyard.
Murong Fenghua shook his head and called, "Delu, change my clothes for me." ”
Delu was the great eunuch assigned to him by Emperor Shunhui. He stepped forward in a small step, chose a stone blue treasure flower carved silk brocade robe, and changed it for Murong Fenghua.
Murong Fenghua has a fair complexion and looks even more heroic. He took an oil-paper umbrella and wanted to pace out of the temple. Delu said: "Your Highness, it's still raining outside, where are you going?" ”
Murong Fenghua lowered his eyebrows: "I'll go and see the Queen Mother." Delu said no more.
In the past, the imperial garden was full of beauty, but now it is a little lifeless, and the spring that was originally in full bloom was wilted by the rain, and he lowered his head.
Through the drizzle and haze, a figure stood on the high platform in the distance. Murong Fenghua stared slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, Murong Fenghua thought of something and walked quickly towards the platform.
The people on the platform were dressed in chrysanthemum tops and wore a cloak of emerald brocade and feather, which was clearly the pattern of the Queen Mother.
Murong Fenghua's voice was warm: "Imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother on the stage turned around slightly, and seemed to tremble slightly. She stared at Murong Fenghua carefully, looking up and down, her eyes moist.
"Little wine?"
Murong Fenghua was moved when he heard this title.
I remember that when he was a child, his closest person was the imperial grandmother. Because the emperor's grandmother is the most kind, unlike the queen mother, she always asks him to memorize poems.
Once, he secretly tasted the Qingju wine in the Queen Mother's palace and was so drunk that he staggered. Later, the Queen Mother always jokingly called him "Little Wine".
"Little wine." Just like when he was a child, the old man with a kind face called him like this. Murong Fenghua's voice was slightly choked: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson is back." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but hug him and gently stroked him over and over again, "Little wine, little wine." ”
Murong Fenghua helped the Queen Mother and listened to the Queen Mother's words: "Little wine, why did you get separated from the imperial grandmother?" You used to call me Grandma. ”
Murong Fenghua's voice was deep, and his eyes were slightly red, "Grandma." ”
The Queen Mother replied again and again: "Eh, good boy, good boy." ”
The rain gently hit Murong Fenghua and the Queen Mother's faces, and the Queen Mother pulled Murong Fenghua, her eyes slightly closed: "Little Jiu'er, do you know what this platform is called?" ”
Murong Fenghua shook his head. The Queen Mother's voice was ethereal: "Phoenix Terrace." This platform has been there since the time of the ancestors. ”
Phoenix Terrace, Phoenix Terrace! Murong Fenghua's expression perked up, that scroll, could it be an object from the ancestor period?
The Queen Mother still closed her eyes and continued: "There was a sentence engraved on this platform about this platform. ”
Her voice was empty, as if hidden in the drizzle.
"That's a poem. The phoenix flutters its wings and flies to find the clear sky. Swimming on the riverside, the phoenix first came, and the phoenix was among them. The phoenixes are in a pair, flying to the smoke and rain. And now, the phoenix is gone, and the phoenix is empty. ”
Murong Fenghua's eyes were surprised, this poem, this platform, is it a coincidence or ......
The Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, "This poem, according to legend, is a prophecy made by a Taoist chief a long time ago, he once entered the palace, and what he said is still clearly remembered by the mourning family." ”
The Queen Mother's palms trembled slightly. "He said, the phoenix sings for nine days, the phoenix falls all over the world, whining and mourning, and the dragon's life is colorful."
Murong Fenghua chewed on this prophecy carefully, and his face was stained with a thin layer of doubt.
But the Queen Mother was silent.
Wearing the crane fur with chrysanthemum patterns again, the Queen Mother faced the rain and slowly left the stage.
Murong Fenghua looked at the back of the Queen Mother and closed his eyes.
What covered his eyes was the tiredness that he had only experienced in the palace for many days.
I don't know if Ah Zhuo is okay.
Phoenix Terrace is facing the past directly, which is Chonghua Palace.
Chonghua Palace is exquisite and small, not as atmospheric as Fengluan Palace, but it has always been a place for harem women to compete for.
It's better than a coincidence.
On the wall of Chonghua Palace, with twelve white jade pearls loosely embedded in the corners, every moonlit night, always hazy reveals a layer of light, plus there is a high pavilion in the palace, people stand in the pavilion, it is worthy of the same light as the moon, wonderful.
Xue Guifei was the most prosperous, and Emperor Shunhui pointed out Chonghua Palace to her.
At this time, the sky was slightly covered with a layer of gray, and the wind and rain became more and more rapid, and it was almost evening.
Xue Guifei lazily lay on the soft couch set up in the pavilion, and a tube of Zixiao was placed diagonally next to her.
She was thirty years old, but she was a cardamom woman.
The slender figure is wearing a Bixia Luo embroidered with gold luan, and the lotus blue swastika qu water weaving gold lianyan brocade skirt is set inside, holding the green Luo Cui soft yarn, and a peony is obliquely inserted next to the spirit snake bun.
No wonder Emperor Shunhui likes her so much. Such a look is unparalleled in the world.
"Agar, can the emperor come today?" Like the murmuring of jade water, the voice of the yellow oriole came quietly.
The palace maid called the agar didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Yu Niangniang, there is news from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the emperor has come up." ”
When Xue Guifei heard this, she laughed leisurely.
"Come on... Then come on. ”
She called agar, "Bring the alluring wealth for the palace, and also bring the green head." ”
Xue Guifei was originally the most vocal artist. At the beginning, a song of Peony Pavilion hooked the soul of many children in the capital. Among them, including Emperor Shunhui.
Later, when she entered the palace, she rarely sang.
The agar was very fast, but in the time of half a pillar of incense, it was taken in a hurry.
Xue Guifei gently stroked the cold dots of emerald on her head with her bare hand, and the blue lines on the blue background were the purest obsessions she had ever had, but after all, even the purest thing had to be contaminated with some filth.
She smiled coldly, and finally spoke.
"Put it on for me."
The sun had set, and the sunset was still a little bit old, and the light red shaded the clouds.
"The green mountains are red cries, and the tea is outside, and the tobacco is drunk and soft. Although the peony is good, how can he take the lead in the spring return, idle and contemplative, listen to the words of the shengsheng swallow as clear as a flicker, and listen to the sound of the warbler. ”
A kun tone, soft and soft.
Emperor Shunhui didn't know when he stood behind Xue Guifei, and his eyes were full of affection that he had never seen before.
"Fu'er."
When Xue Guifei heard this, she seemed to be frightened, and her body tilted to the ground. Emperor Shunhui let out a low snort, stepped forward quickly, and caught Xue Guifei.
Xue Guifei leaned on Emperor Shunhui's strong chest and blushed.
Emperor Shunhui hugged her carefully, and his voice was deep: "Such a big person, why are you so careless?" ”
Xue Guifei was half ashamed and half annoyed, and turned her head away, her voice muffled.
"The emperor is playing tricks on the concubines like this, and the concubines ignore the emperor."
When Emperor Shunhui heard this, he smiled lowly: "But you're annoyed?" Okay, okay, I'll make amends for you, don't be angry anymore, huh? ”
Xue Guifei's eyes were rolling, and her voice was already a little coquettish.
"The emperor is the worst."
Emperor Shunhui couldn't stand her so delicate, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help himself, and hugged the jade man in his arms into the room, picked off the tent curtains, and suddenly a room was full of spring.
But no one knew, Xue Guifei sighed softly.
After all, it was still in vain to wear this alluring wealth.
The red tent here is warm, but in the Fengluan Palace, it is deserted.
The queen sat at the table with a table full of delicacies in front of her. Today is the day when she first entered the palace, and it is the day that Emperor Shunhui will definitely come.
She looked at the window flowers in distraction. Didn't he come?
Chiyu couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to persuade: "Niangniang, listen to the news from Chonghua Palace, the emperor has already rested there, Niangniang still had dinner earlier, today, the emperor may not come." ”
The queen smiled softly and plucked the rice in front of her.
"How could I not know that he would not come tonight? However, it's just waiting for an unwarranted love. ”
The candles on the table jumped, reflecting the vicissitudes of the queen's face.
The queen smiled clearly, but she also smiled bitterly. She gently poured a glass of sake and drank it all in one gulp.
"I should have understood this unwarranted love."
The queen has never drunk alcohol, but now she drank it suddenly, and she drank so quickly, it didn't take long for her face to get slightly drunk.
Chiyu was extremely distressed in her heart, retreated, helped the queen to the bed, took off her shoes and socks for her, and wanted to retreat, but suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by the queen.
"Chiyu, talk to me." This time, she didn't call herself Hongu.
Chiyu knew when to talk about etiquette and when not to, so she sat down lightly and nodded heavily, "Okay." ”
