Chapter 9: Hibiscus Jincheng (3)
However, the next year (951) Bao Yuan reconsidered me as the queen, I immediately refused, the Empress Dowager was not the queen that year, if I was in the middle palace, the Empress Dowager had some disrespect, so this case should not be broken. Besides, I never gave birth after all, and there were inconsistencies in the palace rules. Three, I am now raising the eldest son of the emperor, if he enters the middle palace, Xuan Zhe will be the son of the concubine, and Bao Yuan has not yet discussed the matter of establishing a prince, which may cause criticism.
Bao Yuan listened to it, pondered for a while, and then no longer reluctantly, but insisted on adding a title to me to show honor.
Wang Zhaoyuan and Xing Yinxun saw the favor of the holy will, and proposed to promote me to Concubine Hui, and the Queen Mother also praised me when she heard this. So Xing Yinxun wrote a support table and drafted a canonization book. Tell the close ministers of the clan, and the court will discuss it and be unanimous.
At that time, another auspicious day was chosen for the concubine ceremony.
When the official of Si Tiantai announced the auspiciousness, the Zhizhi Yu Xingyin Xun read out the book in the hall and said:
In September of the fourteenth year of Wei Guangzheng, Gengzi, the emperor said: Mrs. Er Huarui! The nature is supple, and the four karma are allowed. The virtue of virtue, the first accumulation of goodness. After entering the palace for many years, he served the queen mother, Yi Dai bowed, with virtue Qianyuan, Gongcheng Temple, Huiyin Six Palaces. It can be registered as Concubine Hui, Lingyue Jichen, hundreds of bureaucrats are welcomed, Qunli Xindai is served, and Hanxia is celebrated. Chin this!
Immediately, Bao Yuan gave a pure gold treasure seal in the main hall, and I served "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" Zhai Yi knelt in the palace to accept the "Hui Concubine Treasure", and the close ministers of the royal family prepared a table to congratulate.
After the ceremony, I entered the Qinghe Palace to worship the Queen Mother, and then I was worshiped by the prince and concubines. Bao Yuan said: When there is no queen of the dynasty, Concubine Hui is the same as the deputy queen, and she is in charge of the six palace affairs.
On the same day, Li Yanniang, the mother of Xuanyu, entered the Zhaorong position because of her son, and gave the Liuhua Pavilion. Han Jingyi entered the position of concubine and gave Xiang Luan Pavilion. Jinyan complied with the Empress Dowager's decree, Jin Xiu Ceremony, and Bao Yuan personally gave the golden silk five phoenix tassel hairpins to commend her for many years of service to the Empress Dowager with pure filial piety. The rest of the concubines who were not promoted also received a lot of rewards, and everyone was satisfied and happy for a while, and there was a peaceful scene in the harem.
In this night, in the palace to celebrate the promotion of the concubines, the red candle palace lights inside and outside the palace were lit all night, and the drums were sounded.
Bao Yuan and his close ministers gathered in the banquet hall to drink the banquet, and the relatives of the harem gathered in my Changchun Palace. Here, a stage was set up outside the Changchun Hall early, and a group of concubines rarely gathered in one place to watch the play and eat wine.
The Queen Mother has always liked dramas, and the head of the Yichun Academy's teaching workshop naturally presented a new rehearsal of the script early, but "Making a Fake Woman", "Liu Pi Blames Buying", and "Gukou God" are three plays. Although I entered the palace for some days, I really didn't understand the Shu opera, so I had to take the play book and let it go.
The Queen Mother saw that I and the concubines were humble, smiled and took the script, and ordered one of the debuts: "According to the mourning family, just play this "Fake Woman", you may not know the origin of this play when you are young." This play was created when I entered Chang'an, Liu Zhen, a haiyou in Shuzhong, and the male characters dressed as women, which was ridiculously tight, so Tang Xizong liked it, so it was listed as a palace opera. It's a festive day, so let's take a look at this one. Rui'er, what do you think? ”
I smiled and said, "If the queen mother likes it, it's fine." ”
As he was talking, the drums on the stage were drummed in winter, and the Haiyu male Dan drew his eyebrows and made up his sideburns and made up heavy makeup on stage, and he sang loudly and loudly, singing one sentence higher and one lower, naughty comedy, making everyone laugh non-stop.
As soon as the song ended, the Queen Mother was overjoyed, and the audience was full of lively rewards, and the actors received the silver reward, but thankfully, I and the concubines accompanied the Queen Mother to eat a wine.
The Queen Mother said that today is my happy day, and she must ask me to order a play, but I don't understand, so I can't push it off and order the martial arts drama "Gukou God". This play originally told the story of Li Bing, who was pouring water in Shuzhong.
In the play, Li Bing turned into a bull and fought with the river god who killed the people, and the climax of subduing demons and subduing demons was repeated, and the fight was also juggling, which was really lively. In addition, the costumes of the scenes are extremely gorgeous, and the singing is very distinctive, and we have no doubt that Shu opera is the best in the world.
In this way, the scene was dispersed when the trouble was approaching, the Queen Mother was already slightly drunk, and I and Zhou Shanggong helped her to get rid of her, and the Queen Mother was very happy today, still humming the words all the way, and returning to the palace with drunken eyes.
When I sent off the concubines and returned to the dormitory, I was already tired, so I hurriedly called Ming'er to pick up the dress and change into a saro for me, and I felt a little more comfortable.
I don't know how Bao Yuan's banquet will be at this time, will he come to Changchun Hall today?
Thinking about it, seeing the light and darkness of the candles in the hall, he stood under the west window, held up silver scissors, cut the wick of the candle, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment of the wedding day, and chuckled.
I don't know when Bao Yuan has crept behind him, he softly grabbed me and buried his face between my neck. His body was filled with the mellow aroma of wine, and on a day like today, there must be a lot of congratulatory wine from his close ministers.
His snort ruffled around my neck, and I itched and laughed more and more.
"The moon is cold and the river is dark at night, and the beauty smiles with a thousand gold." He groaned.
I smiled with a smile on my lips, reflexively put down the silver scissors, leaned into his arms, and whispered: "I am willing to be a double mandarin duck in Tianchi, and once fly to the green clouds." ”
It's been a long time since I've been so relieved. But suddenly I saw him frowning, I looked along the rubbing of his fingers, and found that there was still a faint scar on my snow-white skin, where the golden wisps of bandeau did not reach.
I looked up and chuckled and said, "Meng Lang, are you still feeling sorry for Rui'er?" ”
His eyes were full of pity, and he sighed: "It is the fault of your husband that you have suffered." ”
I didn't want to see him blame himself for ruining his happiness on such a day, so he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that for Meng Lang, the bitter meat plan is much better than the beauty plan!" As he spoke, he stroked his eyebrows and said seriously: "Don't frown, but I left some small scars, and I used Danzhu clay gold to paint another day, and Xu has become a new trick when I am romantic!" ”
"You!" When Bao Yuan heard this, his face was full of spoiling, "Always so eccentric, but so gentle and considerate." ”
His gaze was as deep as water, and I knew that the scar had sent his mind to the ...... of that year, and that I could not look back on those years, and I did not want him to repeat them.
Xu Shi saw that my expression was different, Bao Yuan took me into his arms, frowned and sighed: "The monarch is weak and the minister is strong, the Central Plains has changed hands again, Guo Wei has acted in a good show of yellow robes this time." ”
I was stunned, the Zhou lord was already in the first month, could it be that the Zhou lord had any actions, Bao Yuan sighed, stared at him and said: "Meng Lang has something on his mind, you and I husband and wife, if you have anything to say, don't be afraid that I will worry and bear it alone." ”
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked my face, softened his eyebrows, raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head and stared at me, and said, "Do you know the intentions of the kings in the last year. In the chaotic world, my brothers of the Meng family are of the same heart, and the kings have each taken the position of envoy, so as to solve the disadvantages of the military power of my Dashuzhou Town. ”
I pondered for a moment and said: "The kings led the envoys and stayed in Shudu, and the affairs of the state and town were presided over by the staff, but they were also suspected of ignoring political affairs. ”
He frowned and said: "Rui'er has concerns, but not to mention that Guo Wei used the Zhou Dynasty to Han, since the Tang An Lushan rebellion, the feudal military divided the feudal town, after all, it is a bane, which is more important?" It's more and more worth considering. ”
I frowned, I had no idea for a while, and I suddenly complained to myself that I didn't read politics and history on weekdays, and I didn't have the ability to share my husband's worries.
Xu Shi saw that my face was flushed, and he thought sadly, Bao Yuan sneered and said: "Look at me, this good day has actually raised such problems to my concubine Hui, I really should fight tightly." He took my hand and pretended to pat himself in the face.
I couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "You are so unserious, people just thought about something serious because of what you said, and you yourself started talking nonsense." ”
When Bao Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "The major events in the world are not finished in one or two days, not to mention such a good day, you really shouldn't pay attention to these trivial matters." As he spoke, he whispered in my ear, "Rui'er, Rui'er, can I let my husband and you stay together peacefully in the future?" ”
My heart is sour, and staying together is exactly what I expect in my heart, but the Zhou lord is the Han Dynasty, and no one can help but think about the fate of history. How I wish that time could stop and not let those helplessness and worries roll in.
Bao Yuan pulled me to the couch, and I followed him obediently, looking at his handsome back, my mind flickered. Thinking about it, I have already experienced life and death, and experienced the pain of losing a child and the pain of centrifugation, and now I finally see the light of day and calmly face each other.
I am in this Shu Palace, although I have never established a queen, but I am in the harem with the dignity of Concubine Hui. Although my husband is an emperor and has three thousand beauties in the harem, he has given me this great favor, and I understand that this is all he can give me, and if it were not for true love, an emperor would not act like this.
I remember him saying that the emperor did not dare to have love, because his love would become his most fatal weakness, but he did it knowingly. Pampered and loved so much, what more can I ask for if I have a husband like this?
Although the happiness in front of me is short, if you have such a real love and two hearts, I can only be deeply drunk, and let this affectionate affection spread in the autumn night.
