Chapter 7 Hearing the Past Sigh Number 2

Yu Guo? Yongrui in March of the fourth year? Lize Palace

Qu Wan'er combed her flowing black hair in the rainbow mirror, and a beautiful face was reflected in the mirror: the starry eyes under Han Yan's eyebrows, Qiong's nose was secluded, and her half-opened lips were like a vermilion cherry picked from the branches of the April morning, but they were soaked in red rose tea until midnight, and the indescribable soft fragrance. The graceful chin is now facing the sunlight through the window lattice, and there is a touch of pride in the light breeze, which makes the fragrance blooming on the table lose its color. The dresser smiled.

She has always been conceited and beautiful, and before entering the palace, she was the first beauty in her hometown of Huaiyu Township. The villagers all said that this girl couldn't be buried in this small place, so she had to marry a rich young master in the city. Naturally, the father and mother also pinned their hopes on their daughter. Especially in the countryside, the father who is a langzhong, has insisted on teaching himself to recognize some words and etiquette for several years, and only hopes to be able to promise a large family in the future. But Qu Wan'er didn't think so. Big family? Rich young master? With their sinking fish and goose appearance, even if they marry a prince or a big official in the court, it is also their blessing! It's a pity that I was born in this remote mountain village, how can I have the opportunity to meet any big people?

Qu Wan'er didn't expect that at the age of seventeen, she was favored by the god of luck. That year, one of Qu Wan'er's fellow villagers went to Beijing to visit a distant relative, Gong Qihua, who had just been promoted to a member of the household department, and wanted to climb the relationship, so he revealed Qu Wan'er's beauty. That Gong Qihua had the heart to select folk beauties for the emperor who had just ascended the throne, and when he heard that there was such a peerless beauty, he made a special trip to Huaiyu Township, saw Qu Wan'er, and was amazed and immediately decided to take her into the palace. When parting, it was in Mengxia April, the mountains were full of rhododendrons and fire, and the whole sky was red, and Qu Wan'er, who was dressed in cloth, jumped on the sedan chair in the eyes of her father and mother, but she caught a glimpse of a pair of gloomy eyes in the distance before entering the sedan chair.

Qu Wan'er's heart twitched. Originally...... Brother Chen secretly came to see him off. I thought it was ...... I thought it was ...... He must have been hiding at home and couldn't bear to go out. In the past, the flower wall was like a brocade, and the stars were like a dream; Where the smoke rises, a rose is quietly inserted into the sideburns by someone...... The past is floating in front of me, but from the moment I entered the sedan chair, everything ...... It's all gone.

Qu Wan'er entered Beijing, moved the deep palace, and was soon named a "beauty" and was favored, and even Min Jieyu, who was deeply favored by the emperor before, was gradually left out in the cold. Qu Wan'er's whole family is also a great one, with countless awards, and they are in the limelight for a while. It's just that Qu Wan'er was born lowly, unlike other concubines in the palace who have been pampered since childhood, so she pays more attention to her appearance and clothing, and collects rare and exotic ornaments, so she doesn't know how much effort she has put into it.

At this moment, Qu Wan'er is wearing a lotus-colored wide-sleeved fine brocade shirt and a hundred butterflies wearing a patterned peacock skirt, the plum pattern palace is fluttering, and a peony hairpin is inserted obliquely between the happy buns, and the hairpin tail tassel hangs down, and the thin golden light is like water, which is refracted by the coral red beads at the ears, and the Shaoguang floats like a dream. The neck is hung with blue whale beads in the water, sparkling like a sea spring, and the vulgar dust disappears in the eyes of the eyes. The slender hand Dankou is newly blooming, and the jade bracelet and red ring are readily available; Just as he was about to get up, the close maid Cui Huan handed over a cicada-shaped object and reminded: "Is the master going to the garden to relax?" Yesterday I said that I was looking for the emperor's reward for the 'Rui Dragon Brain', don't forget it today. ”

Qu Wan'er took the "Rui Long Brain" and pinned it to her waist, turned her eyes to Cuihuan and said: "I recently learned a dance called 'Yi Fangjiao', this dance has to be danced in the flowers to see the good and bad, but although there are many flowers in our Lize Palace, they are all too small." So what about ......" paused slightly, and winked at Cuihuan: "I want to go to Tianxiangyuan to practice." ”

"Tianxiangyuan? The master is talking about the Tianxiang Garden of the Imperial Garden? ”

"Hmm. I heard that peonies are blooming there for a while. The weather is good today, so you can accompany me to take a look. ”

Cuihuan hesitated: "But the master deduced this morning that he was infected with the wind and cold and did not go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." If...... If you dance in Tianxiangyuan and be seen by others...... If it reaches the Queen Mother or the Emperor, I'm afraid it won't be good. ”

Qu Wan'er glanced sideways at Cuihuan and said, "What are you afraid of?" It's just past noon. The Queen Mother and other mothers have the habit of napping, and you don't know. Who would go to the garden in the sun? Even if it happened that a few palace maids and eunuchs saw it, what would they dare to break? It doesn't matter what. I'm all for the emperor, besides, there are so many women in this palace, and only I am willing to bother so much, do you go or not? ”

Cuihuan Nuonuo followed Qu Wan'er out of Lize Palace and went west to Tianxiang Garden. A huge piece of famous garden, clusters of clusters, containing green fragrance, delicate flowers and jade blossoms are scattered in a light cage, weaving one after another of the gorgeous satin brocade, in the end of March like a rainy spring light, solemnly and wantonly extended. Qu Wan'er sighed: "This spring is no worse than when the azaleas in Huaiyu Township are in full bloom. A pink butterfly fluttered its wings, Qu Wan'er danced suddenly, and when she saw that there was no one in the garden, she stretched her long sleeves and twisted her waist to dance, flying between Yao Huang Wei Zi and Zhao Fan Oubi. Cuihuan stood in the Xiaorui Pavilion in the garden to watch, there is no silk and bamboo match at the moment, but it is also seen that this dance is extraordinary: one is in Qu Wan'er's jade body is flexible, the appearance is gorgeous, the second is in its dancing posture, the style is enchanting, and the third is rippling in the spring waves between Gu Pan, attacking people's hearts. Dancing straight to the point that thousands of flowers are broken, thousands of leaves are silent, the sunlight is inadvertently reduced, and there is only one branch of the immortal flower demon dancing wildly in the heaven and earth, dancing out of the six reincarnations.

The more Cuihuan looked at it, the more frightened she became, and secretly thought: This dance is so charming, I don't know who taught it? I'm afraid that few people in the whole palace can jump. What would be the effect of this when paired with Tingle? Before she could finish her thoughts, Qu Wan'er had stopped dancing and beckoned and asked, "Cuihuan, you said this 'Yi Fangjiao', how did I dance?" ”

Cuihuan hurriedly approached and bowed down and said, "Since the slave maid entered the palace, I have never seen such a wonderful dance, it's just ...... Like no other in the world! But I don't know who taught this dance to his master? “

Qu Wan'er smiled mysteriously and said, "If you want to say that I learned to rely on Fangjiao, I really have to thank someone." She practiced hard in the deep palace every day, and before she left the school, she was given a head start by me. ”

Cuihuan said suspiciously: "Could it be...... Someone is dancing this too? Master...... Did the master learn secretly? “

"Hey, she can jump, naturally someone will see it. Someone will see it, then someone else can learn it. ”

Cuihuan seemed to understand something, and she didn't ask more with a smile. Qu Wan'er waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll jump for a while, and you will wait for me at the gate of the garden." There is any movement and a squeak. After Cuihuan left, Qu Wan'er started to practice from scratch, and gradually entered the best situation. The long sleeves swept by the wind, the flowers and leaves fluttered and fell, overflowing with color and streamers, and Qu Wan'er felt an inexplicable pleasure.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from behind: "Qu Meiren dances so well!" Qu Wan'er was startled, and when she turned around, she glanced back and saw a graceful woman staring at her, and she sighed in her heart, immediately retracted her figure, knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The concubine has seen the queen mother." ”

The person who came was the Empress Dowager Yu Guo. On the side, Cuihuan was trembling, and the frustration and fear on his face could not be hidden, thinking that he was warned by the Queen Mother not to report it first. The Queen Mother stared at Qu Wan'er, her eyes were as sharp as a sharp blade, slashing from Qu Wan'er's head to her feet, and said in a muffled voice: "Isn't Qu Meiren infected with the wind cold?" He also said that he would send an imperial doctor to take a look at you, but he couldn't find anyone. It's better that you don't rest in the palace, and you still dress like this to dance in Tianxiangyuan? ”

Qu Wan'er broke her head and didn't expect the Queen Mother to come to Tianxiangyuan during her lunch break, and said with bated breath: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubine ...... The concubine was indeed sick this morning, but she was ...... I just slept for most of the day and felt better. Concubines...... The concubine was depressed, so she came to this Tianxiangyuan to relax, so as not to ...... lest you ......"

The Queen Mother sneered: "I see that the dance you danced just now doesn't look like a patient at all." You stayed well in the palace, what are you bored about? Is it a bitter day to say goodbye to the mourning family? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare! Concubines...... It's just that...... The wind and cold have not healed, and I am a little depressed, so I dance and hope to ...... I hope to recover sooner, so that I can go to your old man's home to say goodbye. ”

The Queen Mother was furious: "Look at your dress, it's not the New Year's Festival, which lady in the harem is so swaggering like you?" I don't know moderation! ”

Qu Wan'er held back her tears and said, "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine will go back to the palace to change." ”

"Hmph. Tell me, what kind of dance did you just dance?"

"This dance...... This dance...... It's called 'Yi Fangjiao'"

"Yi Fangjiao......? Yi Fangjiao......? The Queen Mother muttered to herself, as if she remembered something, and said with a pale face: "Who taught you this dance?" ”

Qu Wan'er said tremblingly: "It was the concubine who secretly arranged it by herself, and no one taught her." ”

The Queen Mother shouted angrily: "Bold! Are you guilty? ”

Qu Wan'er's face was pale, and she kowtowed hurriedly and said, "The concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed, please show the queen mother." ”

"Phew, it's a girl from the mountains. This 'Yi Fangjiao' was originally a lewd song of the former dynasty and the harem, and the emperor of that country lost the country because of this dance! How did you learn such a bastard thing? ”

What the?! Qu Wan'er felt like she had been hit on the head when she heard this, and her eyes were black and she almost fainted. Looking up at the angry face of the Queen Mother, it seemed that he had caught a glimpse of the dancing shadow in the Shuming Palace, and his heart suddenly fell. Cold sweat trickled down: "Concubine...... Concubines...... I really don't know. The concubine did not dare to hide this matter. It's a concubine...... It was the concubine who was confused for a while, and bought the palace maid Yuzhi beside Min Jieyu and learned it from her. And she...... And she...... I saw Min Jieyu practicing hard in the palace day and night......"

The more Qu Wan'er spoke, the more she understood, and the more she hated it. She only said that she took advantage of the Lantern Festival party at the beginning of the year, went out in person, and secretly bought Yuzhi with her jade grape pendant when she saw the opportunity, and Min Jieyu controlled every move. In order to keep it as confidential as possible, even his personal maid did not disclose this matter. How did you expect that what you have learned and practiced so hard and want to be favored is a bane? At this time, he regretted and was ashamed, and in front of the Queen Mother, he didn't dare to hide anything, so he told his calculations. I have to examine myself with a handful of snot and tears, just to be able to wash away the sin of this lewd dance.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother still didn't believe it, and pulled Qu Wan'er back to Shouci Palace with a frosty face, and said, "According to you, it's Min Jieyu's misbehavior." Okay, pass on Min Jieyu and the palace maid Yuzhi. ”

*****

Min Jieyu Min Yuelian, as her name suggests, enters the Shouci Palace, is plain and elegant, with beautiful makeup, just like a white lotus that is slim and slim under the moon, silently sending incense. After listening to Qu Wan'er's identification, her face did not change, and she said lightly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine has never heard of 'Yi Fangjiao', nor has she practiced dancing privately in the palace. Concubines have never been good at singing and dancing, how can they play up their weaknesses and avoid their strengths and make people laugh? I don't know what Qu Meiren's intentions are in such words. Yuzhi also shouted wronged on the side, scolding herself for not knowing, and had no private dealings with Qu Meiren. What jade grape pendant, I don't know what to do. The Queen Mother went to Shuming Palace to search the palace, and searched inside and out for a long time, but did not see a pendant. Qu Wan'er just woke up to the fact that she had fallen into the Tao, and she couldn't argue for a while, and she wanted to catch Yuzhi and mash it, but at this moment, what was the use of crying hoarsely?

The queen mother frowned, and immediately instructed the queen Kong Yueying to summon all the concubines and female officials in the harem to interrogate one by one, but no one knew the source of this "Yi Fangjiao". Forced Qu Wan'er to ask, Qu Wan'er still pointed the finger at Min Jieyu. However, Min Jieyu is a beautiful girl, she is the daughter of a Confucian Min Guyan, and after entering the palace, she is known for her talent and virtue. And Yuzhi was Min Jieyu's personal maid before entering the palace, and she has always been loyal, if you want to say that the seller seeks glory, there is no evidence and there is no way to convict. This master and servant are immovable, and the other is swearing, how can Qu Wan'er have the right to justify? In addition, Cuihuan can't say why, everyone in the palace tends to believe that Qu Wan'er learned some obscene ways before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she relied on this favor, and wanted to take the opportunity to frame Min Jieyu. One by one, they are inevitably quietly resentful.

The Queen Mother shook her long sleeves and said coldly: "The beauty Qu Wan'er, who danced lewdly before studying privately, still refuses to explain the reason, and must be severely punished to correct the palace discipline." Come on, give me twenty boards. ”
