Extra: Lonely Moon

Niangniang, His Majesty's Luan has arrived at Wanghui Pavilion, and after three moments, he will go to the Xianju Palace, and ask Niangniang to prepare to take over. ”

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran into the hall to pray, she got up in astonishment, and panicked and ordered Gong'e to dress her up.

There are so many gorgeous clothes, but none of them are to her heart's content, the silver red is too flamboyant, the purple is too dull, the goose yellow is too frivolous, and the lake is green, but it does not line her skin. It's easy to choose a dress that suits you and put it on, but you don't know what kind of bun to comb and what kind of jewelry to wear. After a long time, I finally got my makeup done, but I still didn't feel at ease, and asked over and over again: "Is this proper in this palace?" Is the clothes lined with people? Will there be too much fat powder? Is this stride too ordinary? ”。

Gong E smiled and said: "Niangniang was born beautiful, and when she dresses up like this, she is really like a fairy." ”

She looked at the person in the mirror, the light cherry spring shirt was soft and warm, which matched the moire on the shawl very well, and the amethyst-inlaid jewels were shining in her hair, which made her eyebrows like emerald, and her lips were like Dan. Only then did he relax a little, and led a group of palace people to kneel in front of the palace to greet him, his fingertips touched a little cool, and his heart was full of joy.

She was born in a famous family, and she has received an orthodox noble girl education since she was a child, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is cautious in her words and deeds. As time passed, she grew up, just like her name, into a woman as eye-catching as the moon.

My mother always said, "My daughter is so good, your father and I will choose a good family for you, and you must be a man of good looks, both civil and military, and a distinguished family, so that you can be worthy of you." She just smiled shyly, the needle and thread in her hand wandered, and the four ruyi cloud patterns on the handkerchief were gathered into a flowery pattern, just as she imagined that she should have lived a happy and carefree life.

If it weren't for that day, she thought, her life would definitely be like other eunuch women, raised in the boudoir when she was young, and married a man who was the right man after her death, and since then she has been husband and children, and has lived a stable life like other women.

If it wasn't that day......

On that day, the weather was fine, and the window in the house revealed the spring light in the afternoon, and on a whim, she ordered her personal maid to hug Yaoqin and wanted to play a song in the water pavilion. Her courtyard was close to the Water Pavilion, winding down the stone road, and she saw two people sitting in the Water Pavilion from a distance, and when she walked in, she found that it was her father and a young man, and her father smiled at her:

"Don't hurry up and ask His Royal Highness King Ning for peace."

King Ning? I think it's the highness who is said to have been battle-hardened and invincible. While saluting, she secretly looked at this highness, her complexion was not as fair as that of a child of the family, her eyebrows were clearly distinguished, and she was very handsome.

"Miss is polite."

She only felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and after saying goodbye to her father, she walked out of the water pavilion, and when she walked around the corner, for some reason, she unconsciously turned back and hid behind several pots of peonies and looked at the water pavilion. I don't know what he said, but my father stood up and saluted him, and he also got up to help his father, and through the heavy shadows of the purple and red flowers, I only saw his long and jade figure, like a strong pine in the wind.

From then on, her undisturbed life seemed to ripple, and she would always pretend to knock on her father's side to ask when he would come, and when he visited, she would put on the best dresses and the most exquisite jewelry, and wander outside the water pavilion or her father's courtyard as if she were wandering, and when she saw him a few times, he only glanced at him lightly, but she was already very shy; From time to time, she listened silently when people talked about his various military exploits, and she was afraid of him and proud of him; In his spare time, he draws Danqing in the study, and the tip of the pen will always unconsciously outline his angular outline.

Pei Zhao, she silently recited his name in her heart, this name is really good, just like him, always with a sharp and murderous aura, but it is so cold and calm. If her father wants to choose a wishful husband for her, she hopes that person will be him.

The moment she learned that he had ascended the throne as emperor, she just wanted to thank God for treating her so kindly. She is the daughter of an important minister, and her virtue and appearance are outstanding, and she is fully sure that she can enter the palace as a concubine.

But her mother didn't want her to enter the palace, the emperor was like a tiger, the emperor's grace was too heavy, and the days of the harem were like walking on thin ice. Even her father persuaded her in private: "You must know that the new emperor has always been moody and angry, but he is scheming, and with the ability of the new emperor, the whole world is under his control, and living around such a person, you don't need to think about it to know the difficulties." He categorically will not favor you just because you are my daughter......"

Father said all kinds of things, she didn't listen to it, but, but that person, that person was Pei Zhao.

The king's heart is unpredictable, the harem is sinister, she doesn't understand, she is not afraid, but if she tastes these, she can stay by his side for a long time, she is willing, she has been following the rules for the past seventeen years, but now her heart can no longer follow the rules, she does not want the only emperor's favor, she just wants to sink in his eyes.

She didn't see Pei Zhao on the day of the palace election, and she was disappointed that she was a little curious about the young queen mother. She knew that Su Xiang's young daughter entered the palace at the age of twelve, and it has only been five years, and the queen mother is actually a few months younger than her, and she doesn't know how she spent five years in this lonely deep palace.

She secretly looked at the girl dressed in gorgeous clothes on the main seat, not the beauty of the country, but her complexion was fair, especially a pair of eyes always had some agility, and when she first saw them, she looked at them from top to bottom with undisguised curiosity, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth was naughty and childish. She was a little uneasy in her heart, today's palace election is in charge of the Queen Mother, look at the appearance of the Queen Mother, I think I will like lively women, the Queen Mother and Sun Miaoyi next to her looked at each other with a smile in her eyes, and she kept telling herself to do better, do better. She is good at painting landscapes, and now she has enough heart, and it is even more extraordinary, after the last word, her fingertips are trembling slightly, as if the pen and ink are not swaying between the mountains and rivers, but the fate she wants to grasp the most.

The result of the palace election was expected by her, she behaved well, and no one would refuse such a wonderful woman. On the night of the canonization, she sat on the edge of the bed shyly and expectantly, the red soft smoke on her body was like a gorgeous water pattern, which caused ripples in her heart, will Pei Zhao come to her palace? Waiting for Pei Zhao to come in, did she get up and say goodbye, or wait quietly? If he was as cold and calm as ever, would she have to speak softly? If he is gentle and gentle, will she be shy and refuse?

She pondered in her heart all night, and a pair of arm-thick red candles by the tent also burned all night, but he never came.

She asked the palace people to inquire, and it turned out that Pei Zhao didn't go anywhere on the night of the canonization, neither came to her Xianju Palace, nor did she go to Sun Miaoyi's Tangli Palace, but approved the excerpt in Chaoyang Hall for a night, and she was relieved. But since then, Pei Zhao has never stepped into the harem, she keeps comforting herself, not long after he ascended the throne, government affairs are piled up, so naturally he has no other thoughts, didn't he go to Sun Miaoyi's palace? But as the days passed, the thoughts and feelings in her heart were like poisonous weeds, and only that person was her salvation, she wanted to see him, she wanted to rely on him, she wanted to get his love, and she wanted to spend her life with him......

She heard about the portrait of the Queen Mother at the Shuangjing Bridge that day, so she waited early in the Linglong Pavilion. In fact, that day was not my mother's birthday, but she used some small means.

The Queen Mother is simple by nature, and she does not doubt him, not only took her to Changle Palace for dinner, but also said that she would take her to ask Pei Zhao to let her mother visit the palace, she naturally refused, and she was sure that the Queen Mother would definitely tell Pei Zhao that she knew that the Queen Mother was kind-hearted, and she knew from the time she entered the palace that the Queen Mother and Sun Miaoyi had the same temperament, but she never snubbed her, obviously she didn't like her birthday gift very much, she was afraid of being lost, but she also pretended to be in love. She felt a little guilty, but when she knelt at the gate of the palace and saw the longing figure from far and near, she had no choice in her heart.

The footsteps stopped in front of her, and she saw Pei Zhao's soap-colored boots and the corners of his dark robe, and heard him say lightly: "Get up." A hundred feelings surged into his heart, and he wanted to cry for a while, and when he realized his gaffe, he hurriedly restrained his expression and silently followed Pei Zhao into the hall.

The palace people had retreated, the whole hall was empty, she personally served a cup of tea to Pei Zhao's hand, his gaze followed the tea cup to her light cherry sleeves, and stayed for a moment, with some unpredictable gentleness between her eyebrows.

Her heart jumped suddenly, did he like her to wear this dress? She was secretly happy in her heart, and suddenly heard him ask, "Today is your mother's birthday?" ”

She lowered her eyes, and her voice was a little choked: "The concubine lost her honor today, but... It's just that the concubine really misses her mother..."As she spoke, she carefully looked at his expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

Pei Zhao's face softened a lot: "It's okay, if you miss your mother, you will naturally see it when the woman enters the palace on the Yuan Lantern Festival." ”

Pei Zhao, whom she had seen before, all looked cold, and now that he was so gentle, he really taught her to be happy and shy, so she had the courage to raise her head to look at him. His gaze fell on her, but it seemed to be looking at the side in the distance. She hesitated for a long time, then blushed and said, "It's getting late, concubine... The concubines serve Your Majesty..."

"Not necessarily."

She looked at him in amazement, his face was still cold, as if Fang Cai's warmth was just a big dream, she watched Pei Zhao get up and walk out of her immortal hall without the slightest nostalgia. The tea cup on the desk was still steaming, but her heart was extremely cold, even her fingertips were cold, she picked up the tea he had just used, and wept in a daze.

On the second day, she went late, but the queen mother didn't care, still smiled and gave her a seat, she looked at the laughing woman in front of her, it was just over the seventeenth year of the dancing elephant, with the supreme wealth and glory, but early in this lonely deep palace interrupted the life, the heart was a little relieved.

The human heart is always like this, when they are unhappy, they wish that everyone was unhappy, and if they see someone who is ten thousand times more pitiful than themselves, the sorrow in their hearts will be dispelled a lot. The Queen Mother can be so happy, why should she bother herself? Besides, the Queen Mother just said that she would take them to Kunlun Garden, so she still has a chance?

The days of the siege are very different from the days in the palace. She is not good at riding horses, she just dresses up to ride every day, and as everyone gathers around Pei Zhao, she is satisfied to see him galloping on horseback. In the middle of the night, she sat in her tent, looking at the bright fire outside, guessing whether Pei Zhao's heart was really indestructible? She thought that a man like Pei Zhao would never be messy in front of a person, gentle and gentle, he would never love someone, since this was the case, let her love him and let her accompany him.

After a long time, she recalled all her thoughts that day, and only felt that she was funny and pitiful. 1

That afternoon, she was resting in the palace, and she heard the noise outside in a daze, and a palace lady was outside in a hurry: "Your Majesty's arm was kicked by a fierce horse, please come out quickly!" She was so frightened that her face turned pale, she didn't even bother to make up, and hurried to Pei Zhao's palace.

By then, there was already a dense circle of people inside. Pei Zhao sat on the main seat, beside him was the Queen Mother who pursed her lips and looked anxious. She silently stood beside Sun Miaoyi, looking at Pei Zhao's pale but calm face, and at this moment she was comforting the Queen Mother and said, "It's okay, but I was kicked in my left arm, and it was just a small injury." ”

The Queen Mother rolled up his sleeves for him with her own hands, and her arms were bruised, already swollen high. She was anxious and scared, but fortunately, the imperial doctor took a closer look and said that the bones were not injured, but only twisted muscles and bones, and she needed to recuperate for a few days. Pei Zhao only has two concubines, since the two of them take turns to serve the sick, she is sad but also a little happy, inadvertently glimpsed the same pale face of the Queen Mother on the side, but she didn't care, just thought that the Queen Mother's expression was so gloomy, probably frightened.

The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, and she saw that the imperial doctor had tried the medicine, so she personally walked back to the palace and carefully gave Pei Zhao a good medicine. This is the first time she has stayed by Pei Zhao's side so close since entering the palace, and she only feels happy and apprehensive in her heart. Pei Zhao sat quietly on the couch, and after she finished taking the medicine, she said in a deep voice: "You go and rest." ”

She hurriedly said: "The concubine is not tired, Your Majesty is injured, and the concubine is here to serve Your Majesty tonight." I was afraid that he would not be allowed, so I added: "Let the Queen Mother rest assured." ”

Pei Zhao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and closed his eyes slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. She saw that he was extremely tired, and hurriedly helped him to lie down, and knelt silently in front of the couch.

Kunlun Garden has always been cool, although it is a little chilly at night, but the palace is covered with a soft thick blanket, and the candles are crackling, emitting some warm light. She couldn't help but look up at the couch, Pei Zhao didn't know when he had fallen asleep, she was bold enough to hold her breath and get closer, and even his steady breathing could be heard clearly. At this moment, he has not woken up, presumably he is asleep, and his usual coldness has subsided a lot, but his brow is slightly frowned, and she can't help but lean closer, wanting to smooth his brow.

"Ahh

He whispered abruptly, and her heart jumped to a beat, and she withdrew herself, only to see the person who spoke again falling into a deep sleep.

The murmur was so soft, like a sigh, but she could hear it clearly. The two words whispered were like a thunderclap under the warm wind and sun, roaring with a violent storm and rain, teaching her to be shocked both physically and mentally.

Ah... Ah... Who is Ah Yu?

Almost instinctively, what she instantly thought of was the young woman who lived in Changle Palace and was smiling.

In the whole world, who else can make him so obsessed? The past came one after another, one by one so thrilling, she suddenly remembered that on the night of the Queen Mother's birthday, when she was waiting for the night banquet, she saw Pei Zhao in regular clothes in the pavilion in front of Changle Palace, he seemed to be waiting for someone, but what she could never forget was the tenderness on his face at that time, which she had never seen on his face.

Ah Ming...... She bit her lip so hard, it was her, it was her! The person Pei Zhao stared at through her shadow that night, the person he blindly indulged and cherished, the person he would rather risk the world's disapproval and hold it at the tip of his heart, it turned out to be her! It turned out to be her!!

She remembered her inexplicable jealousy of Sun Miaoyi before, it was just a joke! It turned out that they were all the same, and they never had any weight in his heart. The people in this palace are so pitiful, Sun Miaoyi is so pitiful, she is so confused about all this, she doesn't know that the man she regards as relying on has never cared about her; The Queen Mother is so pitiful, she has gained more than everyone and lost more than everyone; Pei Zhao is so pitiful, he is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but what he wants most is separated from him by thousands of rivers and mountains, and it is absolutely impossible.

They are all poor people. She thought sadly but not without sarcasm, but she couldn't compare to her, those soft feelings that were treasured in the bottom of her heart, before they could be handed over to that person, they had fallen into the dust, what else did she have in the future, she had nothing.

The day before returning to the palace, she happened to pass by Pei Zhao's palace, and happened to see him and the Queen Mother, the two seemed to have just come back from outside, the Queen Mother was happily saying something, and Pei Zhao looked at her with a smile on the side.

What are they talking about? She really wanted to go forward and listen to it, and she really wanted to tell Pei Zhao what she was thinking, but she knew that Pei Zhao would never show such a look in front of her.

The days after returning to the palace are as usual, her immortal palace has not changed in the slightest, it is still a treasure canopy, luxurious and magnificent, she and the queen mother get along as well as before, just like a flower, looking red and fragrant from the outside, in fact, it has long been corrupted.

On the day of the heavy snowfall, the Queen Mother became interested and asked them to go to Changle Palace to eat a warm pot, Pei Zhao was really there, during the banquet, she watched him add water to the Queen Mother's vegetables, and an indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, so she almost blurted out: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother's mother and son have a deep relationship, which is really a model of my great humanity." Seeing Pei Zhao's face turn cold, an inexplicable happiness rose in her heart, no matter how much she loved, what was the use? After all, it is against heaven and human ethics, but it can only be a hopeless thought.

In the night, it snowed again, hitting the glazed tiles and making a soft sound, she walked to the window in her clothes, only to see a little bright red light in the distance, that is Pei Zhao's bedroom, according to the usual emperor's bedroom lights are not extinguished, in the past, she could not wait for Pei Zhao when she would go to see the light, now I think about how pitiful and sad it was. It's really cold outside, just leaning against the window and looking at it, I feel the cold is biting, and I don't know if that person is as full of worries as her at this time, tossing and turning? The person he loved must be sleeping peacefully. She couldn't help but look up at the sky, the night was as cold as water, and the lonely moon in the treetops sprinkled the frost all over the ground. Gu Yue, she smiled self-deprecatingly, tightened the big on her body, and suddenly felt satisfied.

In fact, she is the same as him, the same pitiful, the same pathetic, and she has someone in her heart who will never be able to get it, so she can only care for the fruitless affection carefully and hopelessly. How good, they are all the same loneliness, the same hopelessness, and this can be regarded as a kind of look.
