11. Who teaches the year of the red lotus night The two places chant and know each other

Shen Teng looked at the white veil like snow in a daze, and his ears sounded the reports of his subordinates in the past few days, the emperor has canonized Ruyue as a concubine, and there are rumors that they want to make their heirs the crown prince.

He listened to the same as usual, without saying a word, and buried his head in the official documents, patrolling day and night, without stopping for a moment, but every time in the dead of night, he sat in this empty dormitory until dawn, "Ruyue, are you okay?" He muttered softly, glass after glass of wine........

The chamberlain has just come to deliver the decree, and the emperor ordered the Har people outside the palace to enter the palace tomorrow to accompany the emperor and the concubine Niangniang to spend the festival together. "Guifei Niangniang" Shen Teng muttered softly, as if a blunt knife was cutting back and forth in his heart.

In the Empress Chongyuan Palace, Concubine Yu sat on a brocade silk Ming Emperor embroidered shelf, stroked the string of jade tooth tourmaline beads on Hao's wrist, lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "Queen Mother, how do you say that this matter should be arranged tomorrow?" According to the ancestral system, the emperor and the queen mother of the Shangyuan Festival should hold a ceremony in the Xuanzheng Hall or the Chongyuan Palace, but they have just received an order that the emperor will move to the Invitation Moon Palace, and the reception banquet is there. The queen mother, the concubines really don't know what to do. After speaking, the corner of his eyes glanced at Luo Pian's face. Sure enough, Luo Pianpian's face was pale and his eyes were gloomy.

Concubine Yu was overjoyed in her heart, and then said. "Queen Mother, you are a golden body, and you can't worry about those locks. No matter how enchanting the Yi girl is, it is only a barbarism, which can compare to the dignity of the queen's mother and mother. “

Luo Pianpian is like a soup fire in her heart, the respect of the mother of the country, but I am afraid that she is about to sit at the end of the country. After biting it, he said in a deep voice, "Even if the emperor has an order, then come according to the emperor's request." Tomorrow you can bother to deal with it," and then got up and went back to the inner room.

Concubine Yu looked proud, sure enough, she was scheming in her heart.

After Shen Teng received the order, he connected the arrangements, personnel, vehicles, entourage, etc. Shangyuan Festival, not only the inner palace, but also the important ministers of the court and the central government have to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

Ruyue saw the palace people busy coming in and out early in the morning, and Ge Zhu helped her, both of them were puzzled. I simply walked out of the yard, avoided these senseless people, and walked to Mirror Lake.

In the early morning, there were only a few palace people cleaning in the mirror lake, the mist on the lake was light, and a few egrets skimmed the water, leaving shallow marks, and they disappeared in an instant.

A few jade-colored hibiscus trees by the lake have long since fallen in spring, leaving only the knotted branches and vines still swaying and dancing in the morning breeze. Ruyue looked at it blankly, and she was out of the mind for a while. Concubine Yu saw a beautiful white shadow from a distance, and the waiter came to say that it was like a concubine, "Concubine, she is not in the palace and is going to take over, what are you doing here?" “。 She thought to herself in her heart and slowly stepped forward and walked to Ruyue, who was distracted. Ying Ying bowed down to "the concubine meets the concubine".

Ruyue woke up from the fugue and looked at the charming and moving woman in front of her, stunned for a while. Ge Zhu on the side hurriedly pulled her sleeve, came back to her senses, and said lightly shyly: "I'm not a concubine, I'm Halda Ruyue, do you recognize me?" “

Concubine Yu looked at the dusty woman in front of her, and sighed lightly in her heart: "No wonder the emperor is so crazy" "The concubine Niangniang laughed, the emperor has already decreed, the concubine Niangniang's country is gorgeous, unparalleled in the world, the whole country knows, why should the concubine be humble. The concubine has also admired the demeanor of the mother for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, which is really comforting."

Hearing the pink beauty in front of her praise like this, Ruyue was even more ashamed and didn't know what to do. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are too famous, Ruyue dare not be."

Concubine Yu's personal maid on the side, E'er, covered her sleeves lightly and laughed in a low voice. Concubine Yu couldn't help but look cold, and said: "You girl is too rude, how can you be so presumptuous in front of your mother?" ”

E'er was not afraid, and still smiled and said, "The two mothers see each other today, do you want to stand in this wind and praise each other all the time?" ”

Ruyue and Concubine Yu couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side on the lakeside brocade road.

"Guifei Niangniang" "You can still call me by my name Ruyue" Concubine Yu didn't force it, so she chuckled, "Seeing that I should be a few years older than you, then I will shout sister, okay?" Ruyue nodded with a smile

"Sister, today's Shangyuan Festival, the emperor wants to receive Yan at your place. How could my sister be free to come here? Ruyue looked confused, "I don't know." Why should you be with me? “

Concubine Yu looked at her expression and whispered: "It seems that the rumors are true, she really doesn't care about the emperor at all."

Concubine Yu smiled and whispered: "According to the ancestral system, these ceremonies and banquets are all in the queen's palace, but this year they are changed to my sister's place, which shows the emperor's heart for his sister." It's just that the queen mother is pregnant with Lin'er now, and she doesn't know what to think."

When Ruyue heard this, she was stunned. After chatting with Concubine Yu for a while, he turned around and went back. Ge Zhu looked at her face and said briskly, "Master, this matter is not your reason, it is the emperor's own arrangement. Besides, it is a blessing to be able to meet with my people today, and it doesn't matter what he does. Hearing this, Ruyue was still faintly uneasy in her heart.

Ruyue returned to the hall and found that Duan Zhuan was already waiting there. Duan Zhuan looked at Ruyue who slowly walked in from outside the hall, a simple light blue tuanjin cardigan, and a white-tailed long-haired cloak of the same color, the long silver hair made her face like a bright moon, and her eyes like stars. Or because he had just come back from outside, the flush on his face was indifferent. Duan Zhen looked at it, and walked forward with a smile: "Don't wear more clothes when you go out, be careful of catching a cold." After speaking, she wanted to take Ruyue's hand, but Ruyue hurriedly avoided it. At this time, I realized the surprised gaze of the woman in the costume of the Nine Ming Emperor who was standing behind Duan Yuan.

"The queen, she has to come to see you with me today, for fear that you will not be used to serving the banquet for the first time." After speaking, he glanced at Luo Pianpian with a smile.

"The queen already has Lin'er, I don't know what she thinks when you pick up Yan today." Somehow, Concubine Yu's words just now sounded in Ruyue's ears.

"The queen is well". Ruyue looked at the woman in front of her who was dressed in a complicated queen's dress, and bowed down according to the gift of the princess of the Har tribe. Luo Pianpian was shocked when she saw that she did not pay homage according to the concubine ceremony, but still worshiped as a foreign courtesy. Secretly glanced at Duan Zhuan, and saw that he didn't care, and he already had a plan in his heart. "It turns out that the rumors are true, this woman is really not ordinary, is it still not enough to be in the position of a noble concubine?" Thinking of this, ice flashed in her eyes. In his mouth, he whispered softly: "The concubine is exempt." Today's celebrant reception, the emperor's holy grace is vast, and it is hard for the concubine to be a mother. Someone is coming, please change your clothes quickly" Ruyue looked surprised, was gently pulled by Peizhu, and turned to the inner room.

After half a ring, Peizhu knelt down and replied with a panicked face, "The slave should die, the concubine Niangniang is only willing to wear her own costumes" When Luo Pianpian heard this, she turned her head to look at Duan Zhuan, but Duan Zhuan looked indifferent, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she said, "Let her be." Luo Pianpian's eyes widened in shock, "He loves her so much, he doesn't even want to force her to do anything" Looking at the man he loved in front of him, his heart was like a needle prick.

After a while, Ruyue was wearing a rose-red gold silk blouse, a seven-gold flowered long skirt, and a snow silver fox long tail collar around her neck. A black silk is braided with a rose gold ribbon and wrapped in a bun, tied in the middle into a butterfly shape, and a few silver-white thumb pearls dotted at its heart. The two ribbons of the same color float on the hair at the back, and there is no excessive decoration. Walk out slowly, the temperament is like an orchid, as full as a flower!

Luo Pianpian pretended to smile, stepped forward, gently took Ruyue's hand and said, "No wonder the emperor is so devoted to his sister, even I, a woman, can't help but fall in love with you."

When Ruyue heard this, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "The queen is the mother of the world, and all the people admire"

After hearing this, Luo Pianpian smiled and said: "I, the mother of the country, is only in the Changju Palace now" said, and stroked his abdomen "This child came so suddenly, I didn't prepare at all" A look of pride hung on his face.

Ruyue looked at her slightly bulging lower abdomen, smiled and said, "The queen mother is blessed by the gods, and ten thousand Buddhas accompany her" Luo Pianpian Ruyue looked sincere, and secretly said in her heart, "If there is no you, it will be really blessed"

While thinking, he pulled Ruyue closer to Duan Xuan's side.

Duan Zhen stared at the woman in front of him intently, and the love in his heart could not be concealed for a long time. took Ruyue's hand, came to the outside of the building, and saw the Har people who had been standing for a long time below, raised Ruyue's hand and said: "Your princess is already my concubine, I love her, and I will also love her people." In the future, the Har people will unite in the country of Daduan and share weal and woe. “

Ruyue looked at Duan Xuan blankly, she didn't want him to do this. The cheers of the Har people downstairs are like a mountain, "Long live the emperor, long live the princess"

Luo Pianpian looked at the woman who was hugged tightly by her side, her long nails clenched, deeply embedded in the flesh and unconscious.

Concubine Yu, who was standing behind her, sneered with a sneer in her eyes and watched all this quietly.

Shen Teng handed over the duty card at the palace gate and entered the palace, according to the palace rules, he could only be on duty in the outer hall, and he was not allowed to enter without a purpose.

He had been standing on the inspection platform of the duty hall, faintly hearing the cheers coming from the inner palace, and the direction should be the Invitation Yue Palace.

He closed his eyes, and the face as bright as the moon in the reeds floated in front of him again, and he took a deep breath as he endured the cramping pain in his heart. Behind the "general", the forbidden army guards reported, "What's the matter?" “

"The emperor has an order, move to the Phiyun Palace to hold a banquet" Shen Teng got the order and immediately rushed to the Phiyun Palace.

The banquet was set up in the main hall, and the ministers had already taken their seats according to the product system, and they took Ruyue's hand into the hall, and the queen followed closely by her side. Ruyue wanted to break away several times, but she was pulled tightly by him, and she couldn't let go.

Among the ministers, some people have been fortunate enough to see Ruyue's side, but most of them have admired his name for a long time.

The main hall was full of people, but there was no sound. Duan Xuan pulled Ruyue to sit beside him, the queen sat on the right alone, and Concubine Yu sat on the lower left. The ministers were shocked by the emperor's move, and some civil ministers and military generals, seeing that the emperor was far better than the pregnant queen, secretly scolded the "demon girl" in their hearts.

Ruyue's face was cold, and her eyes only looked for Shen Teng quietly. Shen Teng sat on the left side of the hall in response to the system, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, always like a wandering object.

The warbler sings and dances, the sound of silk and bamboo, the end of the wine glass is raised, and everyone is silent, "Everyone, today is the Shangyuan Festival, I spend the festival with all loves, share the peace, and I drink this cup." After saying that, I drank it all.

Everyone raised their glasses and wished the emperor a long life. For a moment, the wine glasses were staggered. Ruyue looked at Shen Teng with a faint face, and drank the wine cup after glass in a muffled voice, unconsciously worried: "Is he healed?" Drink like this. ”

The queen could not drink, so she sat for a while, and then went back to the inner hall when she said that she was unwell. Ruyue sat there sullenly, even though she looked at her with tender eyes, she was always as cold as a mountain. There are flatterers in the hall, all of them raise their glasses to toast, Ruyue excuses herself but simply drinks one cup after another, Duan Yuan wanted to stop her, but it was rare to see her so elegant, so she let her.

After a few glasses, I was already slightly drunk. Shuangxia was beautiful, her eyes were glazed, her lips were drunk, and she looked at her like this, and she didn't know where her heart was for a while.

Concubine Yu, who had been sitting upright on one side, saw that she was so delicate, so she got up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine originally wanted to take advantage of the emperor's blessing today, and be lucky enough to see the dance of the noble concubine Niangniang, but now it seems that the concubine is not strong enough to drink, and the concubine and all the adults will regret it," After speaking, a look of chagrin.

Ruyue was depressed in her heart, watching him sit there, close at hand but far away in the world, and she didn't even have a chance to say a word. stood up and whispered: "Even if Sister Yu and the adults like it, then Ruyue will answer the order."

Ignoring Duan Yuan's shocked gaze, Shi Ran walked down, and Ying Ying stood in the hall. On the side, the music sounded, the light green waist danced, the flying coat blew the clouds and rain, fluttering like an orchid and green, and graceful like a swimming dragon. When he fell, he wandered, and he wanted to trace back to the air, but he couldn't catch it, so he flew to chase the shock.

Ruyue stared at Shen Teng every time, and a thousand words were here. Shen Teng looked at her, the tearful eyes, the deep sorrowful eyebrows, the distress was incomprehensible, he couldn't bear it, and looked down at the cup.

At the end of the song, in the admiration of everyone, Ruyue excused herself to sober up and quit the hall. Ge Zhu looked at her and burst into tears, and didn't dare to ask more, but followed her closely, and the attendants who followed her saw her aimlessly walking along the palace road, and said softly: "Princess, not far in front is the Dongzhi Gate out of the palace. "Dongzhimen, Ruyue was stunned. Ge Zhu retreated left and right, and said slowly: "Master, the place in front is the duty hall, last time the queen's birthday, the slave maid found Lord Shen there, and pointed to the tall building in front of him."

Ruyue stared at the towering platform, the high city wall, the sky was blue like water, and the clouds were light like smoke, but she was like a bird trapped in a cage, so close to him, but so far away.

Just look at it obsessively, look at ......

Shen Teng saw Ruyue leaving depressedly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he deduced that the inspector outside the palace also withdrew. He went around from the Phiyun Hall to the Invite Yue Palace, but told Ruyue that he had not returned to the palace. There are many servants in the palace, and it is inconvenient to say it clearly, so I have to return to the duty hall. The sun is like a promise, but the wind is cold like a crack, and he is the only one on the patrol platform looking at the heavy palace walls, like the pain in his heart, layer after layer, endlessly.

Suddenly, on an empty palace road, there seemed to be two figures standing, looking at him with extremely high eyes. With a dustless demeanor, light black hair, and a face that can't be seen clearly, is it her? Shen Teng hurried downstairs.

Ruyue saw a familiar figure on the high platform, but it was too far away to be recognized. I saw him rushing off the stage, and sure enough, not long after at the end of the palace corridor, Shen Teng rushed over in thin armor, as if he was running towards her that day regardless of his safety. Holding back himself, watching him rush from the sun, just like the only light in this cold winter, the tears in his eyes have been irrepressibly sliding down.

Standing in the middle of the palace road, Ruyue, Yingying Sujing, tears slippery, the soul-broken face, the eyes of a thousand words, Shen Teng's hands clenched tightly, holding on to the blood, forcing him to kneel on one knee, hugging his fists and saying: "Please concubine Niang Niang'an," At the end of the sentence, his head was always lowered, he couldn't bend down, and his eyes were about to drip blood.

Ruyue looked at him kneeling in front of her in a daze, only to feel that the air around her was like an ice cave, and it was cold to the bottom of her heart "Guifei Niangniang, good, good, you are very good" The chest was like a stab of ten thousand needles, and finally couldn't help but a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he vomited to the ground.

"Princess", Ge Zhu was shocked, Shen Teng looked at the pool of bright red blood on the ground, and his heart was completely empty. straightened up Ruyue, who fell to the ground. Over the past few days, the heart defense that has been erected thousands of times has completely collapsed in an instant. All the rules of the Rites and Religions are not as good as the people in front of them at this moment.

"Quick, Imperial Doctor Xuan," Shen Teng picked up Ruyue and shouted wildly. In the distance, E'er watched all this quietly and turned away.

Duan Yuan didn't see Ruyue back to the palace for a long time, and the attendant replied that Niangniang had not returned to the palace, and he was secretly thinking about leaving the banquet to find her, but the ministers frequently raised their glasses, and he couldn't withdraw for a while. At this moment, the chamberlain rushed in, leaned over and whispered in his ear. He stood up in shock and shouted, "Take me quickly." He left the crowd in astonishment.

In the Invite Yue Building, Ruyue lay there quietly, and Shen Teng stood outside the building, with pain in his eyes, bottomless. The end of the body went straight to the boudoir, the room was like Lan Feilan, and the fragrance was bursting. Imperial Physician Li knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine is in a hurry, which caused the blood not to return to the scriptures, the minister has carefully investigated, and there is no obstacle for the time being, please let the emperor be relieved." "Rush?"

Scattered everyone, the woman on the bed was like jade, her eyes were closed, her eyebrows were frowning, the room was so quiet that there was no sound, and she sat quietly in front of Ruyue's bed, looking at it infatuatedly. Suddenly, Ruyue whispered softly, leaned over and whispered, "What do you think?" Ruyue didn't wake up, and the word gently spit out from her mouth: "Shen Teng, Shen Teng." As if he had been hit hard, he stayed there for a moment.

That night, Concubine Yu looked at Duan Zhen with a gloomy face, smiled softly, and slowly said the words and sentences that E'er saw bit by bit. Sure enough, Duan Yuan's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip after hearing this, and he summoned Luo Gan into the palace the next day. Three days later, the holy decree was issued, and Shen Teng was temporarily transferred to the Eastern Front to General Yunlu, and General Yun was dispatched by Shangguan Yun. The commander of Kyoto was temporarily represented by Zhao Dehe, a general of Zuo Wei.

Clearly, Shen Teng seems to be promoted to the next level, but in fact, people with a discerning eye know that this is a Mingsheng and a secret descent, from a commander-in-chief of the forbidden army who holds the key responsibilities in Kyoto to a general at the border pass, the difference between this is thousands of miles.

Shen Teng didn't say a word, his heart was full of Ruyue, that day Gezhu secretly told him that the princess had not yet refused to obey the edict, and his heart was like a needle in his heart after hearing it. The gift of the monarch and the courtier, the heart of the loyal king, he imprisoned himself in this dark night all his life, only in this room, he can miss his beloved woman, and he can call over and over again: "Ruyue, Ruyue"

Tomorrow is about to leave, after Shen Teng finished the handover, he sat in a room of white yarn with wine alone, and the guards inside already knew his habits, so they didn't bother. For a long time, in a trance, a familiar fragrance came from far and near, and a pair of warm hands gently caressed his slightly wet face,

The thoughtful face appeared in front of him. "Shen Teng, I'm here."

Shen Teng was in a dream, and the person in front of him was dressed as an internal servant, wearing a palace hat, and smiling like a flower, who was not Ruyue.

Shen Teng hugged him and kissed him deeply. No one else, no responsibility, between heaven and earth, only she is his heart, his soul is involved, this soul-eating lovesickness can only be resolved at this moment.......
