Chapter 25 Token Bai Yugui
The night breeze rose again, the distance was a little farther away, the sound of the golden bells swaying between the corridors could not be heard, and the ears were full of the sound of maple leaves, as if the sound of people talking, the sound of crying blood and the sound of grievances, and the smock put on by Song Yuqiu was also a little light? , suddenly felt a chill in his neck coming from behind. "Aren't you dreaming? Why is it so cold!" Song Yuxuan knows, it's just uncomfortable, let's sleep for a while! Song Yuxuan said softly. I can't help but feel a chill between my necks.
But Song Yingche is by no means a mediocre person, he is such a good man in front of him, but Song Yuqiu is an ordinary woman, how can he not be moved. He is a man with ideals, pursuits, and ambitions, and his life is full of hope and longing. Song Yuqiu believes that he will definitely become Song Yuqiu's mentor and friend! How desperate Song Yuqiu was for him to help Song Yuqiu? However, Song Yuxuan did not have the courage to believe in his promise, and could not put his sincerity into practice.
Losing the sincerity of Shen Weiai, at most, it is just a cry in the snow, but because of the sincerity of the emperor, I am afraid that I will be able to pay it back for the rest of my life.
Ban Ji fell out of favor and couldn't open it, so she raised a long letter with a broom. The morning and twilight are sleepless, and the autumn wind cuts all sides. The cold dew and dew of the jade pond are condensed, and the frost of the snow falls in the twilight of the golden well. Drink the rain of magnolia in the morning, and fall in the autumn chrysanthemum at night. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. How can you ask you? The jade steps are lined with fine grass, and the golden furnace is incense and charcoal is turned into ashes.
Even the extremely smart Ban Jieyu will have Jieyu's sigh. Ban Gu wrote in "Hanshu Huo Guang Biography": "With his talent, he is good at others, but not if he is a husband; and decorate things with Nengwen, and Furuo is also resigned. After Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, she once sang in "Song of Resentment> "How can Song Yu be an A2 person? fell out of favor and served the queen mother in Changxin Palace for several years, and finally invited himself to become the emperor, so why not be infatuated for life and leave the best years.
The midnight sky was raining carefully, and the sound of the rain made Song Yuxuan unable to sleep, and she fell asleep when it was almost dawn, but she woke up again in most of the hour. "Get up!" Song Yuxuan turned over and sat up and walked towards the emperor, only to see him sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something. Looking sideways, the emperor who looked at the empty pillow must have already gone to court.
Biru lifted the cloud curtain painted with flowers and plants, and held a stack of lake-green clothes to change clothes for Song Yuqiu, and while talking to Song Yuqiu about festive words, Song Yuqiu couldn't help but be shy. "Who is Song Yuxuan?" Song Yusui is your sister, Song Yusui brothers and sisters, what's your name? After changing clothes, Song Yuqiu's scattered hair stepped under the bed of Begonia Yunjin, the ghostly light sprinkled out of the window, and the two little palace maids bowed their heads and walked forward silently with face towels and saucers to serve Song Yuqiu to wash.
After washing, when Song Yusui sat in front of the dressing table as usual, Biru neatly pulled Song Yuqiu's hair. "Look, what's that?" Water! Isn't this Song Yuxuan's rhombic glasses? How can there be so many!" Song Yu asked puzzled. Probably a cup of tea, Biru herself took the rhombic glasses and Song Yuqiu to look at them carefully.
There is a rhino horn peony hairpin inserted in the middle of the cloudy updo, four flower spikes and silver hairpins are symmetrical on both sides, a black jade flower is pasted in the middle of the forehead, there is a pair of silver chain ruby earrings on the ears, a lake green top lined with gold threads and auspicious cloud patterns, and a string of South China Sea pearl necklaces around the neck between Song Yuxuan's birthmark and the kiss marks that have not faded.
Biru has always been clever, and she dressed Song Yuqiu without ostentatiousness, but she was not cold to the point of shameful laughter. On this day, she finally took Song Yuxuan to the incense hall of Lingyan Temple. Song Yuqiu couldn't help but be shocked: How could there be so many Bodhisattvas in this Lingyan Temple? After all, I'm going to meet several mothers today.
Originally, the harem concubines would gather in the Zhaoyang Hall every morning to inquire about the safety of the queen mother, in order to show the harmony of their wives and concubines. But under the supervision of the Ming Zhen lady, no one in the harem has long been gathered here. So there was news that Mrs. Mingzhen was buried with the queen. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar. But the Queen Mother has not asked about the world now, she has not come out, and even gave the phoenix seal to Mrs. Mingzhen to let her take care of the affairs of the Hou Court, and the Queen Mother only left Bai Yugui, the token of the Queen Mother that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Later, Mrs. Mingzhen suffered from a chronic illness and her mental strength was not strong, but Lu Zhaorong was favored three years ago, and she won the heart of the emperor and queen, and the power of his wife and concubine was also divided by Lu Zhaorong. But in the eyes of the emperor at this time, she was a brave, unscrupulous, mediocre and incompetent woman. Therefore, Concubine Ming Zhen was very dissatisfied with her and often used her power for personal gain. This has also become one of the sources of their contradictions. Lu Zhaorong was mostly responsible for the large, medium and small affairs of the back court, and Mrs. Mingzhen also intervened occasionally.
The Queen Mother originally intended to replace her support for the matter of asking for peace with a senior concubine. But because of their humble background and low status, all the concubines have different views on this issue. Madame Mingzhen advocated that she replace the Empress Dowager as the Prince's mother, while Lu Zhaorong believed that the Empress Dowager should be the empress. Lady Mingzhen and Lu Zhaorong are both her younger sisters. In desperation, the Queen Mother issued an edict to abolish the concubines and ask for peace. However, when the affairs of the harem were complicated and all the palace concubines needed to be gathered, Lu Zhaorong often held tea parties in Yanguitang.
It's a lot of time today, so there's no need to rush to good morning. After the new acceptance, Song Yuxuan began to think about how to let the palace officials grasp the palace master as soon as possible. Among the many palaces, the Zhaoyang Hall is the most important one. It is located in the north of the inner court of the imperial palace, connecting the Taimiao in the east and the back garden in the west. From east to west, there are five main halls and a palace. The Queen Mother is the wife of the Son of Heaven, so she naturally has to go to Zhaoyang Hall to pay homage first, and it takes a lot of trouble to give gifts to the Queen Mother.
Since the queen mother gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, she was roughly inspired by the child's congenital lameness defect, and then she wanted to become a Buddha and had no fixed residence. Most of the banquets in the palace were not present, and Xie Changan only saw some of her people from a distance, and even said that the queen's appearance was not good. Later, Xie Changan gave birth to another son, who was so anticlimactic that he didn't even know his name. Song Yuxuan thought, Xie Changan may have taken some kind of medicine, so he is like this, right? And so it was. Song Yuxuan went to estimate that she was going to eat a closed door, so Xie Changan told Song Yuqiu that she didn't necessarily have to be higher than the sky for the queen, just go through the motions, and Mrs. Mingzhen, Lu Zhaorong should have put a lot of thought into it.
However, the queen is the wife of the mother in the world, and she did not dare to slack off, and copied the book "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Original Wish Merit Sutra" the night before, and picked the red sandalwood four corners wrapped with gold and wrapped in the treasure flower bookcase carefully framed.
The lingering rain subsided slightly, and a ray of sunlight cast out in the cascading clouds. The ground is still wet and slippery. Song Yuxuan pulled Biru towards the palace. I saw a painting hanging on the wall of the palace, which reads "When is the spring flower and autumn moon", and there is a ruler next to it. Song Yuxuan brought Biru and the two little palace maids to the Zhaoyang Palace.
However, the work of two teas, the Zhaoyang Palace is also clearly revealed and reflected in the hazy morning and dusk, the word "Zhaoyang" is painted with gold plaque in the sunlight half-bright and half-dark, a color of glazed tiles spreads out, as far as the eye can see, the magnificent atmosphere between the carved beams is still nested and the partition wall is visible, although the palace and the hall are only different in title, the regulatory structure is different, but the majesty of the Zhaoyang Palace in front of me still makes the author breathtaking.
The Zhaoyang Hall of the concubine is far away from the Zhenguan Hall of the emperor's daily life, and the name Zhaoyang is probably the first place in the harem to see Zhaoyang, and the twelve palaces where the concubines live are hiding under the shadow of the Zhaoyang Palace.
Looking at the history of this dynasty, most of the styles are fierce, far away in Taizong Wenduan, close to the first emperor Chengxiang, and the later court does not override his concubine, except for Muzong, Dezong and Jinshang, the princes are all from the middle palace.
Empress Chengxiang's eldest son died in this year, and the imperial doctors asserted that he could no longer have children, and was forced to pass on to the son of the palace people, believing that he was the eldest son and establishing a prince. However, after Chengxiang, at the beginning of Emperor Xuanwu's accession to the throne, he had already listened to the government. How did she deal with this contradiction? How do you view the relationship between yourself and the crown prince? Empress Chengxiang gave birth to a step-son in the sixth year of Xianqing, her son was her great-grandson and her great-grandfather, her great-grandfather was her great-grandmother, her great-grandmother was her great-grandfather, and her great-grandfather was the son of her great-grandfather - her great-grandfather and her great-grandfather were both relatives of the Qian family, so her great-grandchildren were considered capable, so her great-grandfathers were regarded as the objects of the prince's transposition. Later, when she ascended the throne, Empress Chengxiang hated that her young son could not inherit the throne, which led to those calamities.
Now Queen Liu has become a rare compromiser, and after becoming the crown prince today, she will serve as the prince Liangdi. Although her life was bumpy, she was able to share joys and sorrows with her husband, which also had an impact on the concubines of later generations. In fact, the queen was born in the Hedong Liu clan, the first gate of the dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to marry the crown princess with her own background, I don't know why she just succumbed to the position of Liangdi at the beginning.
Now that he is on the throne, the Empress Dowager Chengxiang forcibly hired her niece Zhang is located in the middle palace, and the Liu family has to get the title of concubine. However, at this time, it was the first year of Changqing (821 AD), and the Liu family gave birth to a daughter, Princess Da Zhou. This can be described as a mixed blessing for Liu. I heard that the Zhang family was arrogant and domineering, and there were many acts of cruelty to the concubines, so they were wronged for another 5 years, and waited until the Qian rebellion in Changxing 5 years subsided, and the Zhang family was deposed, before she became the queen.
The hour is still early, and the Zhaoyang Hall is like many palaces. On both sides of the door hangs a couplet: "The spring garden is full of flowers like jade, the summer lotus drops and the moon is like a pearl, and the autumn chrysanthemum contains frost chrysanthemum to wait for the autumn ......" This couplet was written by Song Yuqiu himself. The same is true of the Garoshang Palace Bureau and Xiao Susu outside the door. She was dressed in a brown dress and had a graceful demeanor. Song Yusui said uncomfortably that he had bothered to apologize, and the smile made Song Yusui feel more open-minded, as if he was a little bigger than Shen Siyao. Most of the women in this age group have calm expressions, she talks softly, but there is a posture of non-anger and self-authority hidden between her eyebrows, and she holds Song Yuxuan's bookcase to tell others.
