Main Chapter 69: Light Beauty Tears
After Shangguan Qing was punished, she never left Chengde Palace for a long time, and she was obedient every day, and Rui Ji asked her to go east and never go west. In this way, Shangguan Qing's life was relatively peaceful.
The dull and boring days are like a long and endless winter night, and Shangguan Qing feels that it has been a year before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The palace held a large family banquet, and all the concubines in each palace burned incense and bathed early, dressed exquisitely, and dressed up to attend.
Rui Ji settled down on this matter early. Two months ago, I found a dancer who taught dance and taught Shangguan Qing to dance hand in hand. Just to be able to win the first prize on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and please the happiness of Guan Zeming.
Things went smoothly, that night, Shangguan Qing held a long sword, his posture was graceful, and he danced a song "Chen En's Broken Sword Song", the military drum in the hands of the musician rumbled, and the wind music was excited, Shangguan Zeming looked at the red eyes, and was very pleased, praised Shangguan Qing fiercely, and rewarded Rui Ji with a lot of things, Rui Ji was naturally out of the limelight, and her mood was a lot happier.
On the main hall, sheng songs are everywhere, and everyone drinks and has fun, so peaceful and lively. Shangguan Qing only felt disgusted when he saw them, so he asked Rui Ji to take leave, and went back to Chengde Palace to rest first on the grounds of physical discomfort. Rui Ji was happy today, and even agreed.
Several maids escorted Shangguan Qing to the side hall of Chengde Palace, and after serving her to freshen up, they both retreated and went to play on their own.
Shangguan Qing saw that there was no movement outside the house, so he took advantage of the moonlight to get dressed, sneaked to the small kitchen, loaded a lot of things, and then ran to the Ximing Hall in the north.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, Shangguan Qing's heart is about to jump out of his throat, there is no bright light along the way, only the moonlight illuminates the road, especially when passing through the small bamboo forest, Shangguan Qing feels that as long as he stops, something behind him will pull him into the darkness and strangle him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Shangguan Qing finally saw the dilapidated temple door, and a rickety yellow lantern hung from the door. Shangguan Qing hurriedly pushed the door in, and ran wildly again, and then arrived at the small courtyard where Shangguan Chen lived.
There are a few bright palace lamps in the small courtyard, still full of flowers, the water is murmuring, and in the grass pavilion built in the innermost, there is a straight white figure sitting with his back to himself, plucking the strings back and forth.
Shangguan Chen felt that there was a gaze staring straight at him behind him, and immediately turned his head to look, only to see a short figure, holding a large brocade cloth bag in his hand, panting and looking at himself, those big round eyes seemed to be shining at the moment.
"So late? What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of not being able to see the road clearly and falling? ”
When Shangguan Qing saw the man, he only felt warm in his heart, so he walked in, gently put the bag in his hand on the table, and then took out the Jinpa in his arms, wiped his hands, and then opened it and slowly took out the things
"I brought you a lot of delicious snacks, this is rose cake, my favorite food, but fragrant, and this, Jin Ju tea cake, soft and glutinous, not greasy at all, very refreshing and this ......"
Shangguan Chen watched the little girl carefully take out the snacks in the bag one by one and put them neatly on the plate on the table. kept introducing him in his mouth, and a warm current flowed in his heart, and he smiled
"Okay, I see? It's just that these pastries are so heavy, you can take a few pieces, why take so much? I can't finish it. ”
"Except for the snacks I like to eat, I
It seems that there is nothing else to like anymore that can be given to others. If you get more points, you will feel happier in your heart. ”
Shangguan Chenqingqing picked up a piece of the rose cake that Shangguan Qing said was her favorite, and it was really sweet and delicious, and the rose was full of fragrance.
"In other words, you give other people a pastry!"
"Not really! Only the people I like can eat the snacks I give, and those who don't like it, I don't even want to give him a look! ”
Shangguan Qing said it simply, quite fiercely, and with her soft and cute appearance, people really couldn't help but want to pinch two handfuls.
Of course, Shangguan Chen really did it, Shangguan Qing watched the big brother on the opposite side stretch out his slender hand and slowly extend it towards him, and then gently and softly landed on the top of his head, Shangguan Qing seemed to be a kitten that had been smoothed and immediately took the initiative to cater to that hand.
Heaven and earth here are really in harmony, Shangguan Qing tilted his head and watched Shangguan Chen push the brewed tea in front of him.
I ran for a long time just now, and I ate a lot of dry snacks, I was indeed quite thirsty, Shangguan Qing was not polite, he took the teacup and poured it into his mouth, took a sip of it, and then his eyes lit up
"This tea??"
"I saw that you couldn't get used to drinking the tea last time, and I changed some of the Mengding nectar before the rain, the taste is pure and the entrance is light and sweet, do you like it?"
Shangguan Qing nodded hurriedly
"I like it, I like the tea I drank last time, I like everything you have here!"
Shangguan Chen looked at Shangguan Qing and smiled stupidly, and his heart was also happy and happy, after so many Mid-Autumn festivals, this year is really the most joyful.
"Do you have a tune you'd like to hear?"
"I want to hear about it last time! I only listened to one paragraph that day, and I thought it sounded good. ”
Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows, pushed the wheelchair with both hands, and then crossed the table and came to the table where the guqin was placed on the side.
The slender and lubricated five fingers gently plucked it, like a drop of translucent and round water falling from the sky, breaking a pool of clear and calm lake water. Shangguan Chen immediately plucked the seven slender strings with both hands.
The melodious and ethereal sound of the piano gradually sounded, at first it was like talking, whispering, like a murmuring stream, like a spring breeze, like a newlywed little daughter singing softly, gentle like water. Suddenly, the sound of the piano is high, like the surging water of the mountains, like the iron horse glacier, stepping through thousands of rivers and mountains, undulating and agitating, and then falling vertically on the top of the mountain, hitting the raised stones, hitting a wave, splashing in the sky!
Just when it was exciting, the sound of the piano seemed to turn halfway, like a drizzly night, and the rain hit the plantains, dripping. It seems to be covered with a miserable mist, which makes people unable to move it and appreciate the true face. It is like a white-haired old woman sitting in the dim light, hanging her head and sighing, sighing about the past, lively and smart, youthful and beautiful. Smiling eyes ask the spring breeze, with red flowers on the sideburns. What is like today's old and yellow, no one cares, alone in the idle house, there is no one beside him, alas!
Finally, the note slowly deepened, and then abruptly stopped, leaving only the lingering sound to linger and circulate.
Shangguan Qing only felt that his eyes were sore, as if he had had a dream, and now he had just woken up from the big dream, experienced the cycle of life and death, and was a melancholy thing for a lifetime.
"What tune is this tune, I listened to the first half of it that day, I thought it was good, but now that I have listened to it all, how do I feel sad
It's miserable, it's very desolate. ”
Shangguan Chen handed over a handkerchief, and then gently stroked a delicate Xifu begonia carved next to the piano twice
"This song is called "Ask the East Wind", it is written by Qi Lian, a great genius of the previous dynasty, it is said that it was written by his mother Cen, who was as beautiful as a flower when she was young, a fair lady, thousands of people begged, painted and wrote poems, Zhu Cui Huaguang carried box by box to the house, just for the Pomeranian people to smile."
Later, the Cen family fell in love with the eldest son of the Rong family at that time, and for a time a romantic story spread, the talented and beautiful woman, the golden and stone good fate, the day the two got married, the firecrackers were shocking, the silver money was like rice, the street soup porridge, the sky was celebrated, and the people were happy. After the two got married, they also raised their eyebrows and lived happily. Over the decades, Cen has given birth to several children, with loose skin and decrepit age. The Qi family gradually became estranged, and accepted several young and beautiful concubines, the Cen family's marriage room was empty, and later the children were older. This courtyard over time, the number of people is scarce, and then only the Cen family is left, sitting alone in front of the window to cut red candles, whispering to the moon in the middle of the night, only hating the young at the time, did not see the man's heart clearly, and now he knows when he is old, but unfortunately it is too late, and the young man is not there. ”
Shangguan Qing listened attentively, and all the scenes came to mind one by one, but after listening to it, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said unsatisfied
"You are a man who stands up to the sky, what are you doing to learn these boudoir grievances for no reason!"
Shangguan Chen looked at the little girl's indignant expression and laughed
"Hahahaha, what kind of resentment song are you! Qi Lian was at the trough of his career at that time, he failed the exam repeatedly, and finally was recommended by others, and became a nameless little official, just because of his outstanding talent and jealousy, so he was excluded, and finally was impeached and insulted. ”
"Before leaving, the ink pen swayed, did "Ask the East Wind", it looked like writing his old mother's boudoir life, but in fact, he ridiculed that he was born in the wrong era, and was excluded by a group of uninformed and unsympathetic rabble, and now he recognizes it, if he has a big dream, he used to be enthusiastic, and he always thought that he was an iron-blooded soldier, and he painted the country with a pen, and now he woke up, just as the east wind blows, and he lives again."
Shangguan Qing nodded, thinking that this Qi Lian is really a majestic person, although his career is not smooth, but he does not want to stick to the world, and he does not want to talk more with the rabble villain. It's just that...... Shangguan Chen listens to this kind of music, does he really no longer care about the hatred of being abandoned over the years, and just treat it as a big dream and live a new life? ?
Shangguan Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, he was a little happy, he was unwilling to have these, although he was born in the royal family, he would inevitably live a lonely life, but the other princes and princesses at least had a loving mother, the two of them...... I really don't know what I did wrong in my last life, I was reincarnated in Rui Ji's belly in this life!
"Big brother, it's getting late, I should go back! You also rested earlier, now that it is autumn, the weather is cold, take care of your body, I will bring you a small stove another day, and hold it in my arms to warm up. ”
Shangguan Qing said, he was already one step ahead, ran out of the grass pavilion like a cunning rabbit, and disappeared outside the house.
Shangguan Chen looked at the figure that disappeared in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and then slowly shook his head, closed his eyes and pondered, you, you, when will you understand the truth......
