Chapter 22 A Sword Moves the Autumn Palace 1
"The frost falls and the sky is quiet, and the autumn events promote the west wind." In September, the weather is even cooler, and the autumn wind blows the blades of grass into a bright yellow, and also blows away the haze of August death. Princess Wensi's mansion gradually walked out of her grief and started a new life. In a blink of an eye, it is the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival. In order to soothe his mood, Situ Su made an appointment with Situ Xi the day before and took his cronies in their respective mansions out to climb the heights and look far away. The location was set at Mount Good Hope, north of the city.
Mount Good Hope is a hill on the outskirts of Beijing. Danzhang Cangyan, the scenery is very beautiful. On this day, the wind is light and cloudy, and it is appropriate to climb. Before going out, Huiyi inserted the bright red and spicy dogwood in a small cloth bag and tied it to everyone's arms. Ying Xian asked, only to know that this is called "dogwood sac", and it is used to ward off evil spirits. After everyone cleaned up, they left the house and drove into the mountain. However, after arriving, there was no trace of Situ Xi, so he stopped in front of the mountain and waited.
The sun is slowly rising...... Suddenly, the Luan bell rang, and Yingxian turned his head to look: the light flag followed the wind, and the jade took turns to smoke, but it was a guard of honor convoy that drove over. When they arrived at the mountain gate, the carriage stopped abruptly, and one person lifted the curtain and got dressed up, it was Situ Xi, who had not been seen for several days. A Lingzhi moire purple shirt is faintly bright, still handsome and dignified, as beautiful as jade, and there is a sense of joy and ease in his eyebrows. Yingxian's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. When Situ Xi saw Situ Su and Yingxian, he greeted him with a smile. walked up to Yingxian's side, and whispered to her: "I already know about the affairs of the imperial sister's mansion." Seeing that your complexion is okay, I am relieved. ”
Situ Xi entered the mountain this time, but he brought a lot of staff in the mansion and an eight-person escort team, but he didn't see Ji Linghuang. The leader of the entourage was a middle-aged scribe in his forties, with a clear face and an elegant demeanor, who immediately led the others over to salute Situ Su. When everyone walked by, Yingxian asked Situ Su, only to know that it was the chief of the palace, and his name was Wu Yiqing. I can't help but think: Why did the second prince take so many people on a trip?
Everyone entered the mountain gate, talked and laughed all the way, admired the leaves and watched the clouds, and climbed to the top of the mountain with all their might. Standing on the observation deck, overlooking the scenery under the mountain, you can see 10,000 acres of fertile land in the east, and the bustling market in the west. The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the heart is comfortable. Yingxian also suddenly felt that the boredom of the past few days was swept away, and she was about to stretch her body in the sun, but she heard Situ Xilang chanting:
"One is the Chongyang Ancient Platform, who sees chrysanthemums bloom when there is chaos.
It's ridiculous to steal gray hair, and it's sad to lock up gold.
It's a teenager who is old, and he doesn't have honor to know the barren mound.
Everyone clapped their hands and sang loudly, and the sun did not sink and did not return. ”
As soon as this ancient poem by Du Xunhe in the Tang Dynasty came out, Wu Yiqing came and said: "Your Royal Highness is young and has a long way to go. ”
Situ Xi glanced at Wu Yiqing and said with a smile: "You think it's decadence, but I think it's open-minded and happy." This person has lived for hundreds of generations, isn't it just 'a teenager who is old'? Shouldn't we 'never return before the sun sinks'! ”
Wu Yiqing bowed and said: "Your Highness is enlightened and transparent, and it is beyond our reach. It's just that...... It's just that in front of the emperor, you can't say anything like this. ”
Situ Xi snorted: "Why?" ”
Wu Yiqing's face was solemn: "The words of the king, when you have the realm of the world in mind, overlook the atmosphere of the common people, and focus on the national economy and people's livelihood, how can you sigh in vain about your personal time?" Zi said: 'Benefit from the interests of the people', even if you cultivate yourself, in the end it is 'cultivate yourself to appease the people'. If His Royal Highness can hold this thought for a long time, it will be a blessing for the emperor and the country. ”
Situ Xi frowned and said, "Zi said, Zi said." You always open your mouth and shut your mouth. Look at how many people in the whole world are really doing what they say? ”
Wu Yiqing's face changed suddenly, his sleeves trembled slightly, but he said in a deep voice: "Even if you don't do what you say, you have to say what you say."
As soon as he finished saying this, Situ Su came over and asked, "What are you talking about?" Everyone is tired, so why not find a place to sit. ”
It was noon, and the sun was shining, so everyone found a shady place to sit on the ground. The people of the princess's mansion gathered together, and the people of the prince's mansion gathered in another place, and each took out the prepared chongyang cake and chrysanthemum wine and drank it heartily. Yingxian knew that Situ Xi was deliberately traveling with the government officials during the festival, although she wanted to talk to Situ Xi, but she couldn't find any opportunity, so she had to chat with Situ Su, Huiyi, Xiao Guizi and others.
After three rounds of drinking, the people in the Xinwang Mansion were forgetful, and everyone in the Princess Mansion also got up to look for autumn, and only Situ Su and Yingxian were still sitting in place. Seeing this, Situ Xi walked over to Situ Su and sat down, leaned over and asked, "Three days later is the birthday of the eldest sister." This year, she is going to celebrate her birthday and invite us all back to the palace for a banquet. Sister Huang, can you receive a message? ”
Situ Su said indifferently: "I received it." However, I haven't been feeling well lately and don't want to go back to the palace specifically for her. When the time comes, let Yingxian go to the banquet on my behalf, and I will prepare a generous gift for her. ”
Situ Xi sighed: "I can't imagine that after so many years, the imperial sister still has a deep grudge against her. Do you really think your mother's death had anything to do with her? ”
The sunlight shone on Situ Su's face with cold incense, and there was a kind of trance-like sadness. I only heard her say: "The palace said that my mother accidentally injured her face when she was on a southern tour with her father, and took her to the folk for treatment on her own initiative, which left that permanent scar." Her father was also dissatisfied with her mother because of this, which caused her to die of depression. But my mother, who has always been a cautious and intelligent person, could act so recklessly, I have not been able to figure out for so many years. ”
"But the eldest sister was only seven or eight years old back then. Even if there is a hidden truth in this matter, I am afraid that the child is just being taken advantage of. Again...... Didn't that man also die of depression? ”
Ying Xian secretly thought when he heard this: The person the second prince said should be the queen. Could it be that he suspected that the eldest princess's scar was caused by the queen's order to be done by someone to blame Concubine Shen Hui? If that's the case, this queen is too ruthless.
"In any case, I don't want to congratulate her with a smile. Yingxian, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
"Yes." Yingxian agreed.
Situ Xi said with a pleasant face: "With Yingxian here, things are easy to say." By the way, Ling Huang will also go when the time comes. ”
Ying Xianqi said: "The eldest princess even invited him?" Also, why didn't he come today? ”
"He said that he had a little cold, so I wouldn't let him come, lest he not be able to enter the palace after three days. In fact, it was the eldest sister who said that she wanted me to bring the person with the highest martial arts in the house to the banquet. I don't know what kind of medicine she's selling in her gourd. However, if you want to say that martial arts are the highest, of course, it must be Ling Huang. ”
This eldest princess really doesn't play cards according to common sense...... Thinking that she would see Ji Linghuang again soon, or at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, Yingxian was nervous and expectant, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. However, remembering the farewell to Yueting, a heart sank again in an instant-yes, I don't know what he thinks, why should I be amorous?
Thinking of this, he raised his glass and smiled at Situ Xiwan'er, and said, "Your Highness, let's have a drink." ”
*****
The trip to Mount Good Hope came to an end in the southward sweep of two lines of autumn geese. Three days after the Chung Yeung Festival, September 12, is the 23rd birthday of Princess Situ Yan of Yuanxi. Early in the morning, Jingyangzhai was busy inside and out. The venue of the celebration was set in the chrysanthemum garden of the Imperial Brocade Garden. Yingxian arrived at Jingyangzhai first and met Yingxue. As soon as he saw his face, he apologized that Situ Su was unable to come, and offered the prepared congratulatory gifts, including Gu Kaizhi's "Picture Scroll of Benevolence and Wisdom of the Daughters" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Cai Xiang's "Suburban Burnt Post" of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a pair of superb jade Go. When the box was opened, the chess pieces were shining brightly, and the fingers were cold. Yingxue's lips pulled out a smile, like ripples in the autumn pond due to the wind, indifferent and vivid and distinct. The two had been separated for many days, and they couldn't help but greet each other for a while, chatting and chatting outside the window, but it was raining lightly. When the rain stopped, the sun wheel was about to turn to Tianyang, and Yingxue and Yingxian went hand in hand. Wanyun, Xiao Lizi and others were already taking care of the garden, and when they saw that the two of them were busy coming over to greet them, they introduced them into the chrysanthemum garden.
A stone path runs through it and splits the chrysanthemum garden into east and west. The chrysanthemums bloom in all directions, and all kinds of cranes, treasures, Shih Tzus, hydrangeas, etc. bloom in the silk-like sunshine. The gorse tongue is a heavy yellow thousand leaves, named because the tip of the leaf is like a bird's tongue. Leaning on the railing is a light purple thousand leaves, the flower head is inverted, delicate and leaning. Red shearling, as the name suggests, light red fine leaf down like scissors, white Luo umbrella is white leaves drooping like an umbrella. Luo Shanjin, the petals are red and yellow, and the reverse leaves are balls. is so gorgeous, not spring, but better than spring. What's even better is that the chrysanthemum bush has been staggered to set up the table for eating, one by one finely carved, people sit in front, surrounded by autumn flowers, full of bright colors, the fragrance is immersed in the heart, such as the illusion, like climbing the Yao platform.
Ying Xian walked for a while, and saw that Situ Xi and Ji Linghuang were already sitting in the west fence. When several people saw each other, Yingxue knelt on the ground and bowed. Situ Xi hurriedly helped Yingxue up, and said softly: "Sister Yingxue doesn't have to be polite. Yingxue got up slowly, but saw Situ Xi's bright eyes looking at herself, like stars shining in the sky, gems shining, with innate tenderness in her flowing eyes, and a smile on her lips, it was the spring breeze and willows. The heart jumped violently, and the white porcelain-like bright and delicate cheeks were silently flushed, and under the glow of the early sun after the rain, one point was too bright, and one point was too clear. The eyes condensed by the autumn water also naturally drooped, staring at the skirt of his primrose-colored cloud brocade thousand-folded skirt, motionless. The skirt is embroidered with orchid butterflies happy to meet and entangle the branches, looking forward to the whirlpool, the shade is just right. After a while, Fang raised his eyes and looked at it. She saw that Situ Xi was wearing a moon-white four-fold ruyi cloud-patterned brocade robe, as if the clear light dissolved and shrouded her body, leaning on the fence and standing among the rain-stained chrysanthemums, showing the quality of the dragon and the phoenix, handsome as the wind and the sea and the moon, which could not be collected.
Situ Xi turned his head to stare at Yingxian again. Yingxian is still wearing the lilac curved water pattern embroidered hibiscus flower double-layer brocade skirt she wore when she met Ji Linghuang last time. The pearl hangs down to the ear, the faint pearl light flows, one turn is the beautiful style, and then the turn is the elegant charm, just like the strange flower is born in the Ming Lake, every moment is still the fragrance of the vulgar. Situ Xi couldn't help but praise: "What a pair of sisters." When Yingxian heard this, he smiled playfully, and glanced at Ji Linghuang on the side out of the corner of his eye. His white clothes are still spotless, his clothes are ethereal, and his face is still a perfect blend of handsomeness and wisdom. In addition to Junyi and Yingrui, it is a clear and high blur that he can't figure out, suddenly it is a strong pine wind, and suddenly it is a faint lonely peak cloud. Silent, not angry, not smiling, but it is unavoidable.
The four of them stood opposite each other, no one spoke anymore, time seemed to be locked by a stone lock, and only the fragrance of chrysanthemums in the garden secretly flowed between heaven and earth. Silent, silent, suddenly, it was the crisp voice of the evening clouds from the entrance of the chrysanthemum garden: "Concubine Chen is here!" ”
