Outside the cave next to the Yujing Pavilion in Duixiu Mountain, Cheng Enzheng took out the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, he didn't hear what Rong Lu said, and before he came back to his senses, Rong Lu dropped a sentence, and the person went in the direction of the sound of the qin: "I'll come when I go, you guard for a while." ”

Cheng En was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't break in, Lord Su said that we are not allowed to walk around, and it is terrible to be held by other guards without a warrant......" Before the words were finished, Rong Lu had already disappeared, Cheng En was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and scolded secretly: "Damn this stinky boy, you are Lao Tzu's disaster star, Amitabha Buddha, Bodhisattva bless, don't go wrong." ”

Rong Lu followed the sound of the piano and turned around the Duxiu Mountain, through a rockery and strange stones, and went around to the front of the Yujing Pavilion, but in the distance, he saw two palace women in the pavilion, in the curling sandalwood smoke, a palace woman was stroking the pipa, and another palace woman was standing behind her to serve. It turned out that this was not the sound of the piano but the sound of the pipa, Rong Lu was a person with incomplete five tones, and he could never distinguish the sound of the instrument, but the sound of the pipa was ethereal and soft, and the melody was very familiar, and he still heard that this was indeed the class song "Cape No. 7" in his previous life.

At this moment, the sky has darkened, and Rong Lu can't see it clearly when he is far away, and his mind is full of question marks, who is this woman? Why this song? Is it a coincidence, or is she also a time-traveler?

Since occupying the body of Rong Lu, he has been getting by in a mess, and he wanted to create a career, but after the royal prelude called himself a slave, his self-esteem of the Han people in his previous life has never been able to restrain himself, and he began to feel that it was inappropriate to help the Manchus kill the Han people for his own selfish desires, so he has always looked like he has been getting by after entering the palace.

Fortunately, Rong Lu's family is good, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he is on an errand in the palace, which is not a hard job, Rong Lu enjoys the aristocratic life of the second generation of officials, but there is a lack of someone around him who can speak.

He never figured out why he took pictures at the Pada Rock that day, and after waking up, he passed through and possessed other people's bodies, but he couldn't tell anyone else about this secret, for fear of being treated as crazy, so he kept it in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly heard the familiar melody of his previous life, how could he not be excited?

His heart was beating suddenly, Rong Lu's legs felt a little trembling, and he wanted to see clearly after taking a few steps, but suddenly two imperial guards passed in front of him, and Rong Lu had to shrink behind a rockery and peek from afar. I saw the appearance of the woman in the palace costume in the pavilion and then the lantern lit by the woman behind her became clearer and clearer, and when she saw the appearance of the woman who stroked the pipa, Rong Lu couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said in his heart: "How could it be her?!" ”

This woman's appearance is familiar to Rong Lu's mind, she is Yehnara. Xingzhen, whose father is the four-grade Taoist Yehenara. Hui Zheng, who lives in Chochai Hutong. In fact, most of the Manchurians have some kinship around the bend, and the two families of Ronglu and Xingzhen are both from the capital banner, and they often have some contacts, and this Xingzhen and Ronglu have known each other since childhood.

Rong Lu knew that this Xingzhen was the later Empress Dowager Cixi, but she hadn't been zaijian since she entered the palace the year before last, so she didn't expect to meet here at this time, how could she play this song?

Xingzhen is in Rong Lu's impression, she looks very beautiful, but she is a competitive woman, because she is two years older than Rong Lu, so Rong Lu has always called Xingzhen her sister. After recalling it, he couldn't see that Xingzhen would be a person who had crossed over, Rong Lu began to be a little discouraged, maybe this piece was just occasionally the same melody.

At this time, the sound of the pipa stopped abruptly, Rong Lu came back to his senses and looked, only to see that after the two women said a few words in the pavilion, the woman behind Xingzhen was her palace maid, so she packed her belongings and accompanied Xingzhen to get up and leave. Rong Lu was a little panicked in her heart, although she couldn't be sure if she was the one who crossed over, but the tune was so familiar, even if she wasn't, someone must have taught her, should she go forward and ask clearly? But the palace guards are strictly ruled, not allowed to peep at the women in the palace, let alone talk to them, unless there is an emperor's warrant, otherwise being caught is a disaster of death.

After hesitating again and again, Ronglu mustered up the courage to take an adventure, maybe she knew Xingzhen in the past, and she would miss some old love?

Before he took a step in his legs and feet, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, but when he looked back, it was Seung Eun who threw himself with a stone not far away. Rong Lu said angrily: "What are you doing here?" When she turned her head again, Xingzhen and the palace maid had already disappeared into the darkness, and only the red dots of the lantern were hazy.

Cheng En touched it and said, "Hurry up and go back, the people in the cave are going to come out to order." What are you looking at? It's pitch black, there's nothing, let's go, let's go. Rong Lu saw that Xingzhen had gone away, so he had to go back with Chengen, but while walking, he thought that he didn't know if he could zaijian Xingzhen, and he must ask clearly next time he saw him.

After three days, whenever Rong Lu was on duty, he took the excuse to go to the Yujing Pavilion to see, but he couldn't zaijian to Xingzhen to play here, every time he returned disappointed, Rong Lu was a little gloomy, Cheng En laughed at whether he was hooked by the female ghost in the palace.

These days Ronglu began to inquire about Xingzhen's situation, the palace is a very strange place, this is the most secret place, but it is also the most secret place, some news as long as you are familiar with it, silver feet can be heard, but some news can not be heard until death. Rong Lu found out from the mouths of several messengers and other guards that Xingzhen's situation was not good, although he was named a Lan nobleman after entering the palace at first, he was unable to serve for a long time, and finally waited until the time of the waiter, and encountered the long-haired thief who captured Changsha, Xianfeng was in an extremely bad mood, and the little lord of Lan Guiren seemed to be not very good at coaxing the master to be happy, and after he hated the sacred heart, he was like being beaten into the cold palace, and no one paid attention to it.

At this time, Xianfeng liked the new nobles who entered the palace, and it is said that they were extremely favored, and the rest of the concubines were not comparable. After the Lan nobles completely fell out of favor, the palace was sneered at and treated coldly, and even the monthly supply was often in short supply, and the people in the Chu Xiu palace of the Lan nobles were bullied everywhere, and their lives were very bad.

Rong Lu is a little strange, it stands to reason that this Cixi is a very tricky person, even if she failed to win favor at first, she will not fall to such a point, and the long-haired thief actually captured Changsha, which is very different from the original history, Rong Lu guessed that someone must have instigated the wings of the butterfly effect.

With more and more doubts in his heart, Rong Lu wanted to zaijian Xingzhen even more, every time he went to the palace to enter the value, he was the fastest runner.

Finally, on the fourth day, Rong Lu and the others entered the duty after dusk again, and the sound of the pipa sounded again in the Yujing Pavilion, but this time it was not the familiar melody of the later generations, but the babbling Peking Opera singing.

Rong Lu couldn't understand what he was singing, and he was even more disappointed. On the side, Cheng En listened to this tune and cheered: "The singing tune of Kunban in this palace is not bad, and the flower tune of this peach blossom fan is sung in a mellow tone, which is really good." ”

It turned out that this was not the Peking Opera that Rong Lu thought, but the traditional drama from Kunshan, Suzhou-Kunqu Opera, which is one of the oldest operas in China and a treasure in the traditional culture and art of the Chinese people. The people of the Ming Dynasty called the Southern Opera a legend, after the Ming Dynasty, the form of miscellaneous opera gradually declined, and the legendary music dominated the drama world, and the miscellaneous opera music was also incorporated, and the name was changed to Kunqu Opera. Known for its elegant lyrics, beautiful lines, and delicate performances, it is known as the "ancestor of a hundred operas", and this Kunqu opera sung in the northern style is the ancestor of Peking Opera later.

Rong Lu didn't have time to listen to Cheng En's comments on Kunqu Opera, so he found an excuse to slip away and follow the sound of singing.

At this time, it was getting late, Rong Lu walked closer through the darkness, and the pavilion was really Xingzhen and the palace maid, the palace maid was twenty-seven or eight years old, and her appearance was also very cute, Xingzhen played the pipa and sang, the palace maid did not look at the southeast path, and the two women did not notice that anyone was approaching.

Rong Lu got closer, but he didn't know how to ask for a while, and when he was hesitating, Xingzhen suddenly stopped, sighed lightly, and said: "Aunt Kang, it seems that the news given by Xiao Anzi is not accurate, and the emperor will not pass by here today." ”

Rong Lu was slightly stunned when he heard this, stopped and hid behind a big tree, listening to what the two girls continued, Aunt Kang sighed and said: "It's no wonder, Xiao Anzi is not a big eunuch, he can only be regarded as a close confidant under Peng Youyi, and there is not much news that can be heard, and the emperor often makes a temporary decision, maybe he will go elsewhere." ”

Xingzhen's eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "I had no intention of coming out to fight for these, but I hate these people in the palace for forcing people too much, if they hadn't persecuted, Xiaoquanzi would not have hanged himself in the cell of the Jingshi room, and aunt, you could have gone out of the palace and gone home, but you were also made unable to leave the palace by these people, and even the seriously ill old mother Zuihou at home didn't see him." ”

Aunt Kang said with a sad face: "Little master, this palace is a place where people eat people, only by stepping on others can they get ahead, and it is not that there is no dispute with the world, there can be a pure land, and there is no paradise in this palace." Originally, it didn't matter if the minions were bullied, and the little master didn't have to live in peace. ”

Xingzhen raised her hand to interrupt her words, and said softly: "Aunt Kang, if it weren't for you and Xiaoquanzi in this palace, I would have died of illness a long time ago, if it weren't for your enlightenment, maybe I would still be a person waiting for death in a mess, and now I understand that I don't live for myself, and there are people around me who care about you and take care of you who need you to feed." I am now a Lan Guiren, no longer the little girl who has never seen the world back then, I know what kind of road I have to go, no matter what the price is, I don't want to be bullied, and I don't want the people around me to be bullied again, so I must fight for the emperor's favor again, no matter what means are used! ”

When Rong Lu heard this, his heart was cold, she was really still the vicious Cixi in history, maybe it was just her wishful thinking that she had crossed over like herself, and the song she heard that day might just be the same.

Just when Rong Lu was disheartened, Na Xingzhen suddenly smiled again: "Don't talk about this, since the emperor doesn't come here, then I won't play the Kunqu opera he likes, aunt, you like to listen to my Haijiao No. 7, then I'll play it to you again." ”

After hearing this sentence, Rong Lu thundered like five thunders, stood in place and opened his mouth wide for a long time, not only can he play this song, but also can accurately say the name of the song, who else can it be if he is not the person who crosses?
