Chapter 32: If only it was first seen
The peach color is full of rain, and the willow green is more with spring smoke. In a blink of an eye, it is already April, the cold winter has gone, and the spring swallow has returned. The peach blossoms are blooming, and the weeping willows by the pond are graceful.
I washed up and dressed up in the morning, served Yongyan to wear bright yellow home-style clothes, and tied the Jinlan amber sachet I sewed with my own hands to Yongyan's waist, Yongyan rested here with me, and I changed his clothes with my own hands every time.
I sat in front of the bronze mirror, with a crimson sandalwood light mouth, only a little bit, it was full, Yongyan looked at me behind me, in the mirror my small mouth slightly open teeth to see faintly revealing a soft lilac tongue.
Yongyan gently hugged my shoulders and said, "I just like Yu Jue's delicate appearance, kind-heartedness, and arouse my pity." ”
I put down the Shen Tan in my hand, smiled and revealed two delicate pear vortexes, and said, "But the emperor can't just pity his concubines." ”
Yongyan pinched my nose and said, "I smell the vinegar smell in Qiancui Garden. ”
I picked up the pen and wanted the thrush, Yongyan snatched it from my hand, I looked at Yongyan puzzled, Yongyan rolled up his sleeves and said: "I heard that there are ten music in the boudoir among the people, and one of them is the thrush." ”
"The emperor doesn't want to learn 'Zhang Chang thrush', if the emperor is Zhang Jingzhao, the concubine is not Mrs. Zhang, the concubine is just a concubine" My eyes drooped, and I couldn't hide the smile on my face.
Yongyan said: "Yujue, don't move, otherwise I will draw your eyebrows crookedly." I turned around, and Yongyan put the green daisy on his brow, gently, as if he were painting an orchid on a porcelain.
I opened my eyes and saw Yongyan's focused gaze, a light red flew up his cheeks, I had never looked at his face carefully, the bridge of his nose was straight, his resolute face, and his eyes became tender.
"The Son of Heaven loves Shen Yang affectionately, and he was also a thrush back then." I joked Yongyan. I looked at myself in the mirror with eyebrows like distant mountains, and secretly said in my heart: "How many eyebrows have been drawn in this man's life." ”
The green calyx came in to serve tea and happened to see this scene, and quietly retreated with interest. Subsequently, the whole palace spread the news that Yongyan painted a thrush for me, and it became various versions.
During the Han Dynasty, Jingzhao Yin Zhangchang and his wife were very affectionate, and they painted their eyebrows every day before going to court. In Chang'an City, it is rumored that Zhang Jingzhao's thrush skills are skillful, and his wife's eyebrows are as continuous as Daishan, and they are charming
Later, there were good people to spread the gossip to the ears of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, one morning in the court, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked about this matter in front of the ministers, Zhang Chang calmly replied: "The joy of the boudoir is more than the thrush." ”
Meaning: There is something more sinister in the boudoir, as long as I, as a courtier, do my duty faithfully, and privately paint my wife's eyebrows for fun, what will hinder you? For a while, Emperor Xuan of Han was speechless and had no choice but to give up.
Later, "Zhang Chang's thrush" was rumored to be a beautiful talk through the ages, and Zhang Chang also got the nickname of "Thrush Taishou".
Now it is said in private that Yongyan is the "Thrush Emperor", and the women in the palace are envied by everyone.
I only cared about embroidering the baby's small clothes in my hand, and didn't notice Fufeng coming in, Fufeng stood next to me and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Niangniang, Concubine Jian wants to see you." ”
It's been a long time since the weather outside is warm, and it's time to go out and walk around. The mild sunlight made the whole person lazy, and the blue sky occasionally passed a few swallows.
I walked on the way to Changchun Palace, and it was only a little more than a month, and Changchun Palace had become desolate.
Concubine Jian stood in front of the window and looked at the swallows coming and going in the garden outside the window, she had never seen Concubine Jian so lonely and calm.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Concubine Jian turned around, her eyes were hollow, without any makeup, and she said: "If you are unwell, you can't see Niangniang, I hope Niangniang forgives me." ”
I looked at the food on the table that had already cooled, and said with some pity: "This palace has seen that you have lost weight, it has been six months, why are you thinner than before." ”
She staggered up to me and said, "You don't hate me very much, just like I hate you, I'm almost going to kill you,"
The arrogant and ruthless Concubine Jian in the past has now become such a situation, I don't have a feeling of schadenfreude, but pity, "I never hated you, and you don't hate me anymore, right?" In fact, what I say is just a sentence, and I can't help myself. ”
A trace of tears flashed in Concubine Jian's eyes, and she said, "I'll tell you a very long story."
When I was two years old, I was adopted by the Guan family, and they treated me like their own daughter, named Guan Yanxin, and the Guan family changed, and I entered the Xin Zheku as a slave.
I was only 10 years old at the time, and I had to do a lot of work that I couldn't bear to avoid being beaten, scolded, and bullied. I met him when I thought I was going to die of old age in the Sinjarch Curry for the rest of my life.
I was only fourteen years old, and everyone said that I was born beautiful, and my adoptive mother taught me to dance the Wide-sleeved Liuxian Dance since I was a child. That year, I was punished to kneel by the pool of liquid and had not eaten for a day.
I tasted the coldness of the people in the palace, and when there was no one at night, I danced the wide-sleeved Liuxian Dance by the Taiye Lake, and I didn't know that his eyes were staring at me all the time.
He said that his name was Yongyan, and he was the master of the Forbidden City, and he said that he liked the way I danced, and just like that, the next day it was spread in the palace that the emperor had taken a fancy to Xin Zheku's slave and maid and agreed to it.
I became the legendary Jane and promised, and the emperor blessed me for a few days, just like you did before, and after a few days he sealed me as a permanent presence.
I have to protect myself in the harem, and my holy favor comes too much and too quickly, so naturally many people are jealous, and I deal with it carefully.
I know that I must only continue to become stronger, in order to stop being bullied, I am pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, I want to protect my child, there are so many women in the palace who can't give birth to children, so many miscarriages, I'm afraid.
Since I was pregnant with the dragon fetus, the emperor loves me even more, I accidentally slipped and crashed on the dresser that day, only Rong Concubine and Liuchun were present, I just took this opportunity to get rid of Rong Concubine who shared favor with me.
I wanted to kill Concubine Rong, but it was as simple as pinching an ant to death, but I thought she was crazy and let her go.
Concubine Shu entered the palace early, we were in Changchun Palace together, she had a son, every time the emperor came, I would be invited by her in the name of the sixth elder brother, flying in front of me all day long, even the sixth elder brother was taught by Concubine Shu at a young age.
Until you appeared, all my favors in the past four years were taken away by you, I was very jealous in my heart, I am not afraid of being like a concubine, I am not afraid of the queen, I am only afraid of you.
In the past four years, I have become accustomed to the emperor's favor, he is my life, my all, I can't live without him, he said that I am the most beautiful woman in his heart. ”
My tears have already flowed silently, I have the same experience as Concubine Jian, and now, because we understand, we tolerate each other.
I opened my mouth and said, "What about the fight between you and me, there are so many women in the harem, how many women will enter the palace every three years, can you kill them all?" ”
"I've lived eighteen years, and I can't be more sober than these few days." She lowered her eyebrows and said, "What kind of glory, wealth, fame and fortune is just a cloud of smoke." ”
I looked at her hair, and I said sympathetically: "I'll comb your hair, and after combing your hair, you can eat the food, you have to think about the child in your womb." ”
She sat down, her hair full of green silk hanging down to her waist, and I took the comb and combed it gently, "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." She read softly, "When the emperor first saw me, she said that my clear eyes, like jade, are so simple, and he has also painted my eyebrows, and he said, forever only for me to paint." ”
Ruthless is the most emperor's family, Yongyan's promise is like a bright meteor flashing, and only she believes in him deeply.
I saw the black mole behind her ear, and I asked incredulously, "I remember that at the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve, you said that you don't like peanuts, do you never eat peanuts?" ”
Concubine Jian nodded lightly, "I never eat peanuts,"
My tears fell, Concubine Jian was adopted by the Guan family when she was two years old, and Eniang said that Yu Jue never eats peanuts, isn't this just the will of God, Concubine Jian is the real Jade Jue!
It turns out that we all live in this Forbidden City as someone else, she falls in love with a person who can't be loved, and I am favored but not in love with that man, we are all victims of this prosperity.
My tears fell on her face, I covered my mouth that almost cried, stumbled out of the Changchun Palace, I held on to the wall with my hand, and cried: "Why, God why is this, she is Yujue." ”
She's not some heinous bad person, it's just that the flames of jealousy have completely ruined her sanity, Yongyan is an indispensable part of her life for her, and she can't tolerate anyone snatching him away.
Cruelty and viciousness are not in her nature, but they are the price she must pay - for her love.
