Chapter 45: The New Moon
Is the time too thin or the finger seams too wide, as if overnight, I became Concubine Jin in a hurry, and I became Concubine Jin before I was in a hurry, and the eyebrows and eyes were no longer what they used to be
I seem to have forgotten that I am only nineteen years old, but I am already a concubine. Well, my experience has made me what I am today, and my mind is probably like that of a forty-year-old.
The Qiuwu Hall that had just entered the Zhongcui Palace startled a white pigeon with a "whoosh", which startled me and Rumian to take two steps back, and the white pigeon spread its wings and flew out of the Zhongcui Palace, until the sunlight in the sky was so dazzling that it was impossible to see.
"Sister, it's been a long time since you came to my Qiuwu Hall." Crescent Moon walked out of the room with a smile and a groan. A plain and elegant dress, with light makeup.
I looked at the finches hanging on the verandah and said, "When did the crescent moon start to like warblers, finches, and pigeons?" ”
And the crescent moon back to the inner room to sit, there is only a faint fragrance in the room, smelling from the heart of the comfort, there are only a few bronze flowers on the agarwood table, a few magnolia flowers are inserted, there is a brocade guqin on the case, the inner room is covered with a cypress bed, a white gauze tent, a blue silk curtain, extremely elegant.
Xinyue looked at me and just looked at her room and said, "I can't compare to my sister's place, where my sister's place is a place to live, it's a place to raise flowers." ”
"We don't like the ornate decorations, just simple and elegant, but I don't know anything." I took off my armor and gently held Crescent's slender hand.
"Sister, what's the matter, let's talk about it."
I thought for a moment before I slowly spoke: "You and I were selected together, entered the palace together, friendship is incomparable to others, I really treat you as a sister." ”
Xinyue nodded and said, "This is natural, and I treat you sincerely."
"Even the maids around me know to fight for everything they can, and you." I sighed, and then said: "My sister knows that you are a simple and kind woman, at first I thought you were young and had no quarrel with the world, but now it has been two years since you entered the palace, and now it seems that you must have some other reason." ”
Hearing this, the new moon got up and stood in front of the carved window, looking up at the blue sky, and the sunset fell on the new moon through the carved shadows, a cool and lonely body.
"The draft two years ago was a ruin in my life, and I didn't want to enter the palace." Crescent's tone was tinged with tactful sadness.
I remembered the day of the draft of the Tiyuan Palace, when the emperor picked the new moon because of me, and I remember the sad appearance of the new moon.
I didn't know how to answer, so I just said, "The new moon, when it comes, it will be safe." ”
Xinyue fiddled with the spider plant in the white jade basin in front of the windowsill, and said: "I know this in my heart, and I won't hide it from my sister, I am still a virgin." ”
I twitched my head, almost unable to believe what Xinyue said, "I know that the emperor has not favored you in the two years you have been in the palace, but how is this possible?"
Xinyue turned around and said, "Others gave Gonggong Liu money and property so that his brand could enter the emperor's eyes, and I didn't want the emperor to see me." ”
Crescent Moon glanced at the blue sky outside and said, "When I was fourteen years old, I rode a horse and ran on the grassland, and my equestrian skills were the best among the women of the Chahar tribe, and that year, I met him."
I seemed to see the vast grassland, the blue sky, the sound of horses' hooves on the green and shiny fertile meadows, the crescent moon running on the grassland, the spring breeze blowing the corners of the clothes, and the smile like the sun.
At that time, the young spring shirt was thin and carefree, and several men behind him were chasing after him on horseback, and one man shouted: "Girl, I will catch up with you immediately, and if I catch up, you will have to date me." ”
The man next to him said disdainfully, "Why are you," he said, whipping the horse.
Crescent Moon turned her face and said with a smile on her little pink face, "Are you fools turtles that can ride?" How slow it is. "The crescent moon is getting farther and farther away from them.
The new moon smiled proudly, and the spring breeze blew the hair on his face, making the hearts of the men not far away ripple, and he rode after him.
Crescent Moon listened to the sound of horses' hooves around her getting closer and closer, but she didn't expect to ride side by side with herself, and Crescent Moon turned her face and saw a face full of smiles, this face was the most beautiful face Crescent Moon had ever seen.
The man said, "Girl, what is your name, you should be a Manchu girl." ”
Xinyue Wan'er smiled, didn't pay attention to him, just glanced at him defiantly, the jade hand whipped the horse and ran faster, and the two of them rode until the edge of the sky, shaking off the few men behind.
After dismounting, the man playfully asked, "Beautiful girl, what is your name?" ”
"This girl's name is Crescent, Gege of the Chahar tribe, what about you?" Crescent Moon asked the man sitting on the horse with a small face.
The man pointed to the eagle flying in the sky and said, "I am the eagle, specially out to catch the little white rabbit." ”
"Then I'm not a little white rabbit, I really regret that I shouldn't have gone out today." Crescent Moon said solemnly.
The corner of the crescent moon's mouth bloomed with a flower that captivated the city and the country, because it was the man he had fallen in love with deeply, and now he was looking at the same sky, but separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
The memory is still so clear, when the crescent moon is alone in the grassland, the figure of the man can no longer be found, and he doesn't even know his name.
It wasn't until three years later that Crescent Moon met him in the Mulan Enclosure, and the vague appearance of his memory was finally pieced together, and the man shot Crescent Moon with an arrow, and fate finally came.
It's just that the emotions of those years fell into the dust with the rings of the year, he was the Mongolian prince Beizi, she was the concubine of the Qing Emperor, or the ravines that could not be crossed across thousands of mountains and rivers, and the two of them chose to still bury their feelings in their hearts.
He has not married her so far, and she guards him like jade.
The spring is still as promised, like the flow of water has taken away the beauty of flowers, and the love that has never been said is buried in the gentle grassland, as well as the sound of horses' hooves.
My tears fell to the ground one by one, and the new moon turned around and saw me in tears, and I choked up and said, "I can't help you." "If I hadn't pretended to faint in the Body Yuan Hall to attract Yongyan's attention, the kind Crescent Moon wouldn't have been chosen by Yongyan.
"I'm not as brave as you, and I'm deeply in love with a man. However, we are so close, but it is like being separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. "Only my last words were left in the empty room.
The crescent moon grinded on the paper and wrote Juanxiu's small characters: Thousands of turns, a little confusion, a man or a woman Jiao'e can't escape a love word after all.
Suge, you say, is that eagle on the steppe still there?
