It doesn't hurt that there is no snow on the winter solstice, and the warm wine pear tang jade is fragrant.

Plum blossoms do not know that the fragrance is short, and the acacia is longer than the love silk.

After the sea and sky return, the blue birds and flying fish should be in pairs.

For Jun Juan, but the temples have been changed, and today I will draw a rouge makeup.

Yanmen Pass is in flames, and Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is still prosperous and calm. However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and in some unknown places, stormy waves are quietly brewing and happening.

Chang'an has not snowed for many days, whether it is a towering palace or a folk alley, it can't help but look lonely. When the winter solstice arrived, it finally began to be lively, and many celebrations and sacrifices were held inside and outside Chang'an City.

The winter solstice has been celebrated for a long time. In the distant Western Zhou Dynasty, a sage named Ji Dan brought his younger brother Ji Zheng to Luoshui, and after sacrifices, divination and "phase houses", he used the method of "Tugui Surveying" to measure "in the world", and began to build the first national central city in Chinese history - Luoyi in this "soil" land.

With the method of "Tugui Surveying", Ji Dan and Ji Zheng measured and found the longest day of the "sun shadow" in the year at the same time, so Confucius's idols, the great statesman Zhou Gong, Zhao Gong and the great scientist Ji Dan and Ji Zheng, set this day as the first of the 24 solar terms in China that lasted for thousands of years - the winter solstice! And take this day as the beginning of the new year of the new dynasty.

Therefore, although the winter solstice began to enter the "number nine" cold, it was the beginning of yang energy and the beginning of hope, and it was the earliest solar term set and the first of the twenty-four solar terms in ancient times.

A thousand years have passed, and it has been passed to the Han Dynasty, although it is not so grand, but relatively speaking, it is still a very important day. Both inside and outside the palace, the festivities begin early in the morning. When some lively voices came in over the high palace wall, a woman named Su Xi was looking at the mirror and carefully drawing red makeup.

Next to the small building in the backyard of Jianzhang Palace, a few plum blossoms are just right, but unfortunately there is no snow against the background, and it seems that even the delicate color has been reduced a little.

Princess Suxi gently swept a strand of green silk hanging down through her bun, and the face in the mirror, cardamom years, was incredibly beautiful. I feel joy in my heart but there is a slight loneliness, even though the fragrance is peerless, the person I like is far away from the world, and I haven't seen it for a long time.

The deep palace is ninefold, and it is rare to be free. In the past, he could also find an excuse to follow the crown prince Liu Ju out of the palace once in a while, but since this year, the emperor has become increasingly strict with the prince's learning requirements, and he has rarely been able to go out of the palace freely to play, especially when he returned from the army to Liaodong this time, and achieved a huge reputation, he also began to take on more responsibilities. Not only did the emperor and the subordinate officials and professors of the East Palace watch it closely, but even Mrs. Wei told him several times a day to study seriously and become a qualified prince.

Under such circumstances, Princess Suxi's desire to leave the palace once naturally became a luxury. What she is looking forward to now is that on the winter solstice today, it would be great if Lingzhi could follow Mrs. Su into the palace to see her.

On several important festivals every year, they will come to Jianzhang Palace as guests, and the winter solstice is no exception. Mrs. Wei doesn't have many friends in the palace, in addition to being accompanied by her younger brother and sister, Su Xi has only had Lingzhi as a good sister in recent years.

For Ganoderma lucidum, Su Xi's heart is actually very complicated. She has long passed the age of cardamom first blooming, and her children have gradually understood. What kind of relationship Yuan Zhao and Lingzhi have, she knows it clearly in her heart. As those carefree years faded away, they all grew up after all, and some worries and sorrows secretly grew up in their hearts.

The person that Brother Yuan likes should be Ganoderma lucidum, right? I shouldn't have been tempted by him in the first place! But if you want to bury the feelings in your heart for this, Su Xi asked herself if she couldn't do it anyway. Since the Huns and relatives that year, he rescued her in the midst of thousands of troops, she has nothing else to belong to!

Whenever she thought of this, Su Xi was a little irritable and a little uneasy. Such emotions can't be told to anyone, my sister Yunxi is still young, my mother Mrs. Wei is ashamed to speak, only my younger brother Liu Ju knows a little bit of her thoughts, but she can't talk about it. Fortunately, the future is still far away, the years are long, there are still many opportunities to see each other, and there will always be a way to do everything!

Although he knew that this was just his own self-comfort, Su Xi would still imagine a happy future with peace of mind. Slowly combing her mood and killing time like this, but when it was late afternoon, Lingzhi and Mrs. Su did not come to Jianzhang Palace, which couldn't help but make her feel a little strange. I sent the maids of the palace to the front to inquire several times, but there was no news.

Mrs. Wei is not in Jianzhang Palace, and she thinks she is going to manage the sacrificial activities in the palace. Although she has not officially taken the position of the middle palace now, many things have been in her hands in the past few years, and it is even more of a responsibility now.

There is no wind and no snow, and the palace is quiet. There was a faint sound of silk and bamboo coming from a distance, and the sound came from the direction of Soyu Palace, which was separated by two palaces. Princess Suxi knew that it was the residence of Madame Li, the most favored lady in the palace. She was a little silent in her heart, presumably her father was over there again at this time, right? The affairs in the harem have been taken care of by his mother in recent years, which inevitably distracts him from taking care of the emperor. The number of times my father came to Jianzhang Palace was also a little lazy. However, Mrs. Li is at the age of flamboyance, and it is not surprising that she has won the emperor's favor when she is both beautiful in color and art.

Princess Suxi's guess was not wrong at all, Emperor Liu Che was at Li Wanyu in the Jade Palace at the moment. After he left the morning court, he finished all kinds of temple worship activities in the morning, his spirit was tired, and his body was slack, so he came to Shuyu Palace to relax and rest a little.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor coming, Mrs. Li naturally received her with a smile and greeted her warmly, and personally prepared all kinds of exquisite dishes, with warm sake and tactful accompaniment. It turned out that she was not only talented, but also a good cook, which won the emperor's favor.

Li Wanyu was born extremely beautiful, at this time she was in the best years of a woman, and her background was only a small rich family of commoners, once she was elected to Weiyang Palace, and she was favored by the emperor in one body, which can be described as flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix. Therefore, there is no surprise that she has something else in mind.

Emperor Liu Che was half lying comfortably on the beauty couch, smiling and tasting the delicious food that the jade hands sandwiched for him, and his heart was comfortable and satisfied. Here, he could feel a sense of visceral relaxation. The beauty in front of him gave him a full range of services, which could meet any of his requirements, and the bewitching style was ecstatic, which was a feeling he couldn't experience in other palaces.

Li Wanyu was charming and bright-eyed, seeing that the emperor waved her hand slightly, knowing that he didn't want to eat anymore, she instructed the palace maid to clean up a few cases again, and serve all kinds of rare fruits and tea.

In front of the hall where the splendid velvet carpet was laid, there was already a silk and bamboo orchestra sounding. It is not a secret that the emperor is good at fancy clothes and food, which is not a secret inside and outside the court, and all parts of the palace will naturally do what he likes in order to please him. This kind of thing, as a monarch and emperor, whether virtuous or stupid, is difficult to avoid.

Since Li Wanyu is proficient in this, the level of the music team in the Yuyu Palace is naturally extremely high. When various instruments are played, today it is a new song and a new word that is newly composed.

Several palace makeup women danced in the court. I saw a man in a white gauze robe, alone in the case, waving a five-stringed piano, his demeanor was dashing, and he sang loudly in his mouth.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. If you look at the city, you will not know the city, and then you will not know the city, and it will be difficult for the beauty to get ......! ”

Singing several times in a row, the music follows each other, resounding inside and outside the Jade Palace, which is very pleasant to the ear. Emperor Liu Che's head rested on Mrs. Li's bent jade arm, glanced at the jade figure behind him, gently stroked her soft palm, and smiled.

"Is this song about Qing? Hehe! Li Yannian is not modest, and he wrote words to praise his sister. ”

Although there is an element of banter in the words, the meaning of cronies in them is obvious.

Unexpectedly, Li Wanyu's expression moved slightly, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes looked at Li Yannian, who was playing the piano and singing, as if nothing had happened, and then there was a hint of coquettishness in her words.

"Your Majesty, Hugh is about to say so. The concubine body is so good! What's more, what people are thinking about in this word is someone else...... ”

Her soft and charming attitude fell in the eyes of Emperor Liu Che, but he, a lustful man, was very useful in his heart. I couldn't help laughing a few times, holding her arm, feeling the softness, but there was a tone of disbelief in my mouth.

"I don't believe that in this world, except for Wanqing, where can there be such a peerless beauty!"

"Your Majesty, the concubines are absolutely not cheating, this matter is true. The origin of this song, but the concubines know a little about it. When he left the palace the day before yesterday, he accidentally met a stunning beauty in Chang'an City, and he fell in love with it at first sight. After coming back, I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I felt that I wrote this lyrics and music, and this is the first time I played it in front of His Majesty today. ”

Hearing what she said in detail, and then looking at Li Yannian's focused and affectionate appearance at Fuqin, the emperor couldn't help but believe a little in his heart. However, he didn't take it seriously, in his opinion, not only was it not abrupt, but it could be regarded as a romantic affair. Of course, the reason why he thinks this way is because the Li family sisters and brothers are being favored.

Li Wanyu observed the words and saw that the emperor's face was pleasant, so she whispered in her ear: "Yannian has been dependent on her concubines since she was a child, and she has grown older, but she has not met a person who is in love. It's rare for him to have a woman he loves...... Your Majesty, the concubine has a reluctant request and wants Your Majesty to fulfill it. ”

The emperor laughed and nodded, of course he knew what his favorite beauty wanted to say, this was indeed a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. Don't say that Li Yannian looks like a talented person who serves thoughtfully in the palace, and seeing that the future is immeasurable, he only won the sacred heart with Li Wanyu's Long's favor, no matter whose woman the Li family fancies, there is no problem if he wants to receive it.

When Li Yannian heard that his sister asked the emperor for his own answer, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned over to thank him. Since he has the emperor's endorsement, in this way, even if he causes a big disaster for this, he is not afraid of ......!
