1. A dream in the deep palace
Halfway through the hour, Xia Li woke up from her sleep again. Since entering this deep palace, her life has changed dramatically.
"It's just an unlit candlestick that has fallen, and there is no need for the mother to panic." When the maid of the night watchman saw this, she hurriedly came over and said.
Xia Li looked at the fallen candlestick in a daze when she heard this, and didn't say a word.
"Mother, let's continue to rest. Tomorrow, the slave maid will let people stew some supplements to replenish your body and suppress the shock. Lately, you've been waking up in the middle of the night, so you need to take care of it. The maid on the side continued to speak.
"Well, Bengong knows, Luo'er, you're tired, go down and rest." Xia Li said and lay back on the bed.
The maid who called her a fallen child served her and then closed the door and left.
For the last few days, Xia Li would dream that a woman with a similar face to her would call her name and ask her to avenge herself. But when she asked who the woman was, she would always hear her lament softly: "If the dream is shattered, the deep palace will not be returned, and the wife should not intend to provoke Qunfang." Don't mess with the red dust, and the next life is not as good as a smile. ”
Xia Li clearly felt the woman's grievances from the poem, who is she? She is just a Zhaoyi who has just entered the palace, and she has never even seen Long Yan, so why did the woman find her?
Xia Li thought, suddenly got up and walked to the dresser and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel some emotion in her heart. As the emperor's concubine, it is really sad that she has not even seen the emperor's face these days when she entered the palace.
In fact, in Xia Li's heart, she didn't want to enter the palace, nor did she want to become the emperor's concubine, she was just a woman, a young woman who was only fifteen.
Fifteen years old is the youth of a woman, with a beautiful face and a youthful atmosphere. Of course, he must be full of fantasies about his future husband, and so is Xia Li.
I still remember that three months before entering the palace, Xia Li went to the largest "Baohua Temple" in Beijing to pray for blessings. That day is the first day of the new year, the whole "Baohua Temple" is lively, more are some good men and women pray for blessings and signs, Xia Li took the girl Luo'er, knelt in the main hall, burned incense and prayed, looked at the golden statue of the Bodhisattva, Xia Li kowtowed: "Believer Xia Li, burn incense and pray here today, one may the Bodhisattva bless the safety and health of the believer's parents, and the other may the Bodhisattva bless the believer's wish to be fulfilled, and she can avoid the draft." Three wishes that the Bodhisattva will bless the believer in this life, 'I wish to have a lover, and the white head will not be separated.' After praying, he buckled his head three more times before Luo'er helped himself up, but as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he was stopped by a warlock.
"Girl, stay and stay, the poor road has words to give." The warlock had a goatee, a thin face, a tall man, and a staff in his left hand and a bell in his right hand, blocking Xia Li's path.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my young lady's way? Luo'er was already clever, seeing that this Jianghu warlock stopped the young lady, she hurriedly stepped forward.
"The poor road law is called 'worry-free', the girl must not be surprised, the poor road passes through here, just saw the girl, pinch your fingers, the girl and the poor road have had a three-life fate, and the girl must have encountered a major event in life at this time, so the poor road dared to ask the girl to stay a few steps and listen to the poor road." This warlock called Worry-Free seemed to be reasonable, and Xia Li looked at him. Luo'er couldn't help but say: "Miss, I don't know where he came from, he is lying to us here, Miss don't care, let's go." ”
"Luo'er, don't be impatient." Xia Li looked at this warlock, and for some reason he had to believe his words, so he comforted Luo'er. "Master Worry-free, may I ask what the master has to say!"
"Teaching? The girl's second words were bad, and Poor Dao just wanted to say a few words to the girl. Carefree smiled.
"Okay, then Master, please speak." Xia Li nodded.
"On a moonlit night in the spring river, the flute is in the heart of wind and rain. There are beauties in the country, little by little. ”
"Master, I don't know what this means?" Xia Li was a little confused.
"The girl just needs to remember these few words, you don't need to understand it now, it's just that the poor way knows that the girl has a big event now, but life is impermanent, and the girl thinks about things, but she is afraid of difficulties, so the girl should be prepared." Master Sanssouci said slowly.
"The little woman really can't understand what the master said." Xia Li didn't know what to say, this person who called himself Master Wuwu might just be a warlock, but for some reason Xia Li felt that he had a sense of closeness to this master, was it really as he said, there was a three-life relationship between them, so ...... But this master speaks in a slurred manner, and people can't understand whether they should believe it or not.
"The so-called heavenly machine cannot be revealed, girl, some things are already doomed, and there is no way to change them, so the girl can only resign herself to fate, but the poor road has to tell the girl that some things are in her own hands, so if there is really one day, then the girl must seize the opportunity, don't hesitate!" Master Sanssouci has some mysterious Tao.
"Master, I also know that the world is impermanent, life is impermanent, since the master knows what the little girl is thinking in her heart, then please ask the master for guidance." Xia Li thought about it for a while, things in the world are like this, maybe it's really fate! I'd rather believe it than believe it, since this worry-free statement knows what I think in my heart, it's better to ask him how to solve it.
"Life is a mystery, you and I are in it, I can't see clearly, so don't worry, girl, what you think in your heart can't be realized, but you are a nobleman, and the glory and wealth of your life are not here, but in a circle. Girls have to grasp it. "Master Sanssouci is unhurried again.
"Circles? Master, what does this mean? What circle? Xia Li said.
"Huh...... Girl, you and I will see you again in the future, and today I am done with all my words and farewell. Master Sanssouci smiled, raised his hand, ignored Xia Li, turned around and sang loudly. The road to Kyushu is long, ethereal like flying clouds, see me on the road, sigh my years, don't think about cultivating immortals like the road. Look at the empty road, sigh empty road. It's a bit of a mystery about life and death, but in fact, the country is empty. ”
"Miss, this Taoist priest is so strange! What is he talking about inexplicably! Luo'er looked at the carefree master who was far away.
"Luo'er, go back! Don't tell anyone about today's events. Xia Li sighed and said to Luo'er.
"Yes!" When Luo'er saw that Miss said so, she should claim that it was.
"Alas!" Coming back from the memories and looking out the window at the misty night, Xia Li couldn't help but sigh, "That's it." Xia Li shook her head.
In ten days, it will be the birthday of Concubine Mei, the most favored concubine in the palace. The emperor also specially prepared a birthday banquet for her. Concubine De arranged for herself and several low-ranking concubines to dance for Concubine Mei at the banquet, which was all to give them a chance to win the grace of the saints. It takes a lot of physical strength to practice dancing every day, but now I really have to raise my spirit, so as not to be picked on.
Thinking so, Xia Li quickly fell asleep.
In the dream, the woman's body reappeared, humming a little song in her mouth, different from the hatred and anger on her face before, as if she had suddenly become a simple girl, so cheerful and carefree. :
