Chapter 580: The Parable of the Elephant
Qingqi Garden, Yongqing Changchun, Heyun Zhai.
At this time, it is the lotus full pond, there are a few flowers have opened, most of them are still budding to be released, the lotus leaves are more lovely, the green lotus leaves stand in the water, and some lotus leaves have crystal water droplets rolling. The eyes are full of blue, and in the distance it seems to be connected with the sky. The color of the lotus leaf is so beautiful, the near is turquoise and green, the farther is dark green, and there are some new leaves with a little tender yellow in the middle, the breeze blows, the lotus leaves roll, just like the ocean of lotus leaves. The lotus leaves of Tiantian, layer by layer with the wind, under the backdrop of the lotus leaves, the lotus flowers stand in a variety of postures, standing with a smile, and are shy; Tender stamens condensation, full of dripping, fragrant, refreshing! Some of the petals were all unfolded, revealing small yellow lotus flowers; Some have only opened two or three petals, like pseudo-shy girls who dare to show their faces. Some are still buds, like a pair of hands tightly together. Some petals have withered, fallen, floating on the water, lotus flowers exude a fresh and elegant fragrance, attracting colorful butterflies to fly, frolicking in the meantime, pleasing to the eye. At this time, it is after the rain, and the sunlight is projected on the surface of the pool, reflecting the overlapping waves, like unfolding a colorful ink painting. The lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond look like countless sails on the blue waves from a distance, which is very beautiful. The lotus flowers in the pond are green and beautiful. A few lively little fish swam past the lotus leaves, for fear of breaking the quiet picture. The dragonfly flew over, as if to tell the joy of early morning flight. The little fish swam slowly, as if telling the good dreams of last night. And the lovely little rain and dew are like the stars in the blue sky, and like the pearls in the blue sea. The lotus flowers in the water are so beautiful and moving, and the purple is elegant and romantic. Yellow's warmth and elegance. The liveliness of the powder is pretty. The purity and immaculate whiteness make the scenery of Heyun Zhai like a fairyland.
And it is the place where this fairyland-like place is where the Empress of the Orut clan rests.
"Jing'er, hand the silk thread here."
Behind the staggered wisps of silk is the beautiful face of Jingyi's imperial concubine Fu Yin.
The five-colored silk threads of gold and silver slid through her white fingers, and shimmered with dazzling brilliance on the plain white sleeves, as if to reflect the scorching bright color into her pupils. The owner of the pupil, the beautiful and dignified Zheyi Jiashun Empress Erut, looked at the brocade quilt used by the child in front of her, and seemed to be attracted by the exquisite dragon, phoenix and lotus pattern on it.
"My sister is really good at crafting...... My sister is ashamed of herself, and she is not as good as ...... "Arut? Bao Yin said softly.
"Sister, don't say that, shame my sister." Fu Yin smiled, and his gaze fell on the slightly pale face of the Empress of the Erut clan, "My sister has seen those silk handkerchiefs embroidered by my sister, but they are not comparable to my sister's stupid kung fu. This time, my sister made a fool of herself in front of her sister, but she just wanted to show some kindness. ”
"These days, thanks to my sister accompanying me, otherwise, I really don't know how to live these days......" Empress Arut Erut said softly. Shed tears.
When Fu Yin saw Empress Erut crying, she knew that she remembered her long-dead husband, Emperor Tongzhi. Hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, came to the side of the Empress of the Erut clan, and comforted him softly.
"Sister must not always be sad, the days to come will be long......" Fu Yin took the hand of the Empress of the Erut clan and said softly, "You don't think about yourself, but you have to think about that child, right?" ……”
"What my sister said is, look at me, as she spoke, tears came out, making my sister worried......" Empress Arut Erut realized her gaffe, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled, "Come, I'll embroider with my sister......"
Seeing that the Empress of the Erut clan wanted to embroider with herself, the Fuyin clan nodded happily, and the Empress of the Erut clan took the needle and thread from the palace maid, and embroidered the dragon and phoenix patterns on the children's brocade quilt with the Fuyi clan.
"It's still my sister who embroiders well, like the eyes of this phoenix, I always embroider badly, I have no spirit, my sister embroidered this phoenix eye in a few clicks, it's really wonderful." Fu Yin looked at the phoenix head embroidered by the queen of the Erut clan, and couldn't help but admire, "I can't think of a phoenix like a ......."
"Hehe, if you think about what the eyes of the ancestors look like, what these phoenix eyes look like, you will know." Empress Erut chuckled.
Fu Yin recalled the eyes of the Empress Dowager Renxi, and couldn't help but nod in surprise.
While the two were talking, they were embroidering patterns, and the palace maids were helping on the side, and the Heyun Zhai was filled with a warm and cheerful air for a while.
"By the way, sister, do you know who the ancestor asked us to help make these children's clothes?" Erut asked again.
"There are two children in the garden, haven't you heard of it?" Fu Yin said with a smile, "The two ancestors saw the two wives of the first-class Guiyi Baron Lin Yiqing and their children, and they liked it very much, and left them to live in the palace for a long time. ”
"Baron of the First Class...... Lin Yiqing...... It's Lin Wenxiang's twin brother, right? The Erut clan asked softly as if he remembered something.
"What my sister said is exact, listening to the people below, he is indeed exactly the same as his brother, but he is more heroic than his brother, and he seems to be slightly inferior in style." A look of regret flashed in Fu Yin's eyes, as if he regretted that he was not able to see Lin Yiqing.
"His child, it must be very cute......" Erut seemed to think of his child, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, although it disappeared quickly, but it was still seen by the meticulous Fu Yin.
"I only heard that the two children are sisters and brothers, what do they look like, I haven't seen them yet." Fu Yin wanted to divert the topic, and said with a smile.
"These two children are so blessed, they are in the palace, and they are accompanied by their own mothers......" Erut let out a faint sigh.
Fu Yin was trying to persuade the Erut clan when he suddenly heard the sound of birdsong in the sky.
The Fu Yin clan and the Erut clan raised their heads in unison, looked at the sky outside the window, and saw a large flock of white cranes circling and flying.
"Where did these cranes come from?" Orut said softly.
Fu Yin was also amazed, she had lived in the garden for a long time, but it was also the first time she had seen so many white cranes.
There are many beautiful scenery in Qingqi Garden. There are also many strange birds and beasts. There are also cranes among them. But the number is not very large, and a large group of cranes like this appeared at the same time, which can be said to have never been seen since the rebuilding of Qingqi Garden.
A large flock of cranes flew and chirped in the sky, and in a short time, several cranes descended, some landed on the eaves of the temple, and some landed in the garden. Some fell into the lake.
The two cranes flew down in the lotus pond, and the Erut clan and the Fu Yin clan were amazed, and each put down the work in their hands, and walked out of the house with several palace maids and came to the lotus pond.
When the two cranes saw a few women coming, they just spread their wings and chirped a few times, and they didn't seem to be afraid of people.
The Erut clan and the Fu Yin clan were surprised when they saw a few little eunuchs walking over quickly.
"The master of the queen, the master of the imperial concubine. The slave was ordered by the two queen mothers to invite the queen master and the imperial concubine master to come over. Enjoy the auspicious vision. The little eunuch saluted the Erut clan and the Fuyin clan and said respectfully.
"Enjoying the auspicious vision?" The Erut clan and the Fu Yin clan glanced at each other, each in a strange way.
"Yes! The queen master, the imperial concubine, is really auspicious! The little eunuch said overjoyed, "In the garden, there is a white deer!" And a large flock of cranes - yo! Have you seen it, the queen master and the imperial concubine master have also descended cranes here! What a good omen! ”
As soon as the little eunuch's words fell, the two cranes screamed, flew up, and after a while, they met with the cranes soaring in the sky, and kept circling and chirping.
"Two masters, please go! The two ancestors are still waiting! The little eunuch urged.
The Erut clan and the Fu Yin clan immediately set off, went on the shoulder, and soon came to Chunfangzhai, where the Empress Dowager Rentai and the Empress Dowager Renxi were.
After getting off his shoulder, Fu Yin was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A group of white sika deer are leisurely eating flowers and plants back and forth in the garden.
Among this group of white deer, the leader is a tall male deer, its head and horns are dense and straight, the body is strong, standing on a large rock, turning its head to look around, although it has seen a large group of people not far away looking at it, but there is not the slightest fear.
"You two came just in time! Come and see this day deer! Empress Dowager Renxi said with a smile when she saw the arrival of the Erut clan and the Fuyin clan.
It was obviously the first time she had seen this white deer, and her eyes were full of surprise, and she stared at the deer, and when she found that there were several fawns among the deer, she thought of her child, and her face could not help but show sadness.
"The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian and the general of Fuzhou jointly reported, saying that a hundred cranes were coming from Fuzhou, and there were white deer who spit out in public, saying that Wuqu had returned to its position and the world was peaceful." Empress Dowager Renxi smiled and said to Empress Dowager Rentai, "Although they say that at least a thousand people can see this elephant, I always can't believe it in my heart, and I always think that someone made it, but now this same elephant is now in the garden, but we can't help but believe it." ”
"This white deer is really rare, and there have never been so many cranes flying in this garden." Empress Dowager Rentai looked up at the white crane flying in the sky, and her eyes were full of surprise, "According to the records of ancient books, it is really auspicious, but this deer spits out people's words......" Her eyes fell on the white deer again, "I don't know if it can speak......"
As soon as Empress Dowager Rentai finished speaking, a low roar suddenly came from the grass.
The concubines who watched the vision were all shocked, they all heard it, it was the roar of the beast!
How can there be beasts here?
The deer also seemed to feel the danger, and the fawns ran to their mother's side, while the leader of the white deer, who was standing on the boulder, ran down the boulder and walked in front of the deer, looking at the grass vigilantly.
Just when the concubines were in doubt, they saw a rustling sound in the grass, and a small white shadow jumped out.
It was a small snow-white leopard.
"It's ...... White tiger? Empress Dowager Renxi exclaimed.
The little leopard seemed to understand her, and was unhappy that she had mistaken her identity, turned his head, glared at herd, and then pounced on the deer.
The leader of the white deer rushed suddenly, lowered his head, aimed at the little leopard with his long pointed horns, and stabbed forward, the little leopard was very excited, and jumped away in a flash, and the leader of the white deer stabbed in the air.
See the white deer and the "white tiger" fighting. The concubines and the eunuchs and palace maids all let out a burst of exclamations.
"Quick...... Call the guards! Protect the Queen Mother and all the mothers......"
Li Jintai has not finished speaking. gave the Empress Dowager Renxi a hard shout to stop.
"Wait! See what's going on! ”
Li Jintai hurriedly stopped. He peeked at the Empress Dowager Renxi and found that the Empress Dowager Renxi was staring at the scene of the two beasts fighting, with a solemn look on her face.
The little leopard tried to pounce on the young deer in the herd several times, but all of them were forced back by the white deer leader with long horns, which was obviously enraged, and roared loudly at the white deer leader, but the white deer leader was unmoved, and kept his head down. Hold your horns at it and don't let him get closer.
The little leopard dodged and jumped on a boulder, condescending to the leader of the white deer, the leader of the white deer turned around and was about to use his antlers to face it, but saw the little leopard suddenly jumped up from the boulder, jumped over the head of the leader of the white deer, and pounced into the herd of deer.
When the deer arrived, they scattered, and the little leopard pounced on a young deer, and the young deer saw that it could not dodge, so it was about to pounce on the young leopard. But I saw a doe jump out from the side and hit the baby leopard. Although it had no horns on the top of its head, its blow was so powerful that the little leopard flew out in a daze and fell to the side, and the young deer took the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, the leader of the white deer lowered his head and rushed over, stabbing the little leopard with his antlers, and the little leopard was about to stab the antlers, but he rolled cleverly and dodged.
Although the little leopard dodged the attack of the white deer leader and was unharmed, it was obviously startled and lost the fierce aura just now, it glared at the white deer leader unwillingly, roared, dodged and jumped into the grass, and disappeared in an instant.
The leader of the white deer did not chase after him, but strutted back to the boulder.
"This ...... Where did this 'white tiger' come from? It took a long time for the Empress Dowager Rentai to come back to her senses and asked in surprise.
"According to the ancient books, the white tiger is also a rui beast, but these two rui beasts are fighting, is it a metaphor for something? ......" Empress Dowager Renxi's imagination seemed to be stimulated by the scene just now, and she muttered to herself.
The leader of the white deer seemed to understand something, jumped down from the boulder, and came to the front of the Empress Dowager Renxi in a few steps.
Seeing Bailu coming, the concubines were startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, only the two queen mothers were still standing in place, not moving.
"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, the image of the right talent, the national fortune of the great cadres for a hundred years, is in it." Bailu opened his mouth and said.
Hearing Bailu speak seriously, the Empress Dowager Renxi and the Empress Dowager Rentai all changed color on their faces.
"Great Dry ...... How about the 100-year national fortune? Empress Dowager Renxi asked calmly.
"Although there are swords and soldiers, and the martial arts are in place, they can all be calmed down one by one, and the world of Zhongxing peace can appear." Bailu said, turning back to the herd.
"That'...... How long can I last? Empress Dowager Rentai asked.
Bailu glanced back at her, but didn't say anything, but turned around and leisurely ate flowers and plants with the other Bailu.
Empress Dowager Rentai turned her head to look at Empress Dowager Renxi, and Renxi also looked at her at this time, and the two of them each saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
"You ...... Did you hear it all? As if he couldn't believe his ears, Renxi turned to the Empress of the Erut Clan and the Imperial Concubine of the Fuyin Clan and asked.
"Back to the words of the ancestors, just now...... I did hear ......," Fu Yin nodded repeatedly.
"Back to the words of my ancestors, I also heard them clearly...... What Lu'er said is our great national fortune......" The Erut clan replied with a pale face.
Renxi and Rentai turned their gaze to a few eunuchs, and Li Jintai quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "The minions also heard it!" Hear me clearly! The day of peace in my great work can appear! This is really a good omen for the protection of the emperor! The minions congratulated their ancestors! ”
Hearing so many people say that they heard Bailu's mouth, the Empress Dowager Renxi breathed a sigh of relief, and was sure that it was not her sanity that was wrong.
It's just that such an auspicious vision is really terrifying......
Thinking of the congratulatory auspicious excerpt on the Fuzhou side a month ago, the Empress Dowager Renxi couldn't help but believe it.
After all, almost the same vision happened right in front of you!
Empress Dowager Renxi once again set her eyes on the leader of Bailu who had not gone far, and she hoped that it would be able to speak again and give herself some other "divine revelations", but this time Bailu refused to speak anymore, but concentrated on eating flowers and plants.
"Blackie! …… You're back! What do you think? Didn't get caught, did you? Are you hurt? ”
In a small forest, a girl in animal skin hugged the white leopard that threw herself into her arms, and kissed it affectionately.
"Silence! Beware of discoveries! A man's voice sounded, and the girl was startled, hugged the little leopard tightly, and looked around, but did not see where the man was.
"Let's go!" The voice urged.
The girl put down the little leopard, and the little leopard raised its head, sniffed in the air alertly, and ran in one direction, and the girl immediately took a big stride and followed it. After a while, the figures of a man and a leopard disappeared.
"I can't imagine that this task of pretending to be a ghost can only end perfectly thanks to her." Looking at the direction in which the girl's figure disappeared, Kigakure Takeemon laughed lowly and said to a ninja beside him.
"I can only say that the people of Qianguo are too superstitious, and they will believe such things." The ninja smiled and whispered.
"Hehe, don't laugh at the Qianguo people, Japan is actually the same, but the way it behaves is different." Kigakure Takeemon said with a smile, "We laugh at Qianguo, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps." (To be continued......)
PS: I watched the UYIKU video today, and the only reflection that this incident gives us is: How many times have girls asked us to go shopping, saying that they wanted to try on clothes, and we were really stupid to play with our mobile phones outside? One step forward is happiness, one step back is loneliness!
