Chapter 47: Piano Painting
One
When the news of the queen's injury reached Qingluan Palace, Shu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Fortunately, the queen's fetus is gone, and this account, with Anya's top account, finally did not depend on herself.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt her, thinking about her stomach, she was still sad for a while.
Today's situation is very embarrassing. More than ten days have passed, and according to the rules, I should go to Fengyi Palace to ask for help, but Rong Lan and herself are on the same page, so wouldn't it be humiliating for me to go rashly?
Bi'er said with some schadenfreude while making hairpins for Shu'er: "Calculation comes and goes, calculation comes and goes, calculation comes to your own head, and the child is gone, what a retribution!" ”
Shu'er said: "Be careful that the wall has ears, don't talk nonsense." ”
Bi'er looked left and right, and said in a low voice of hatred: "Thinking of her humiliating Princess Ningguo that day, the slave maid was angry. If it weren't for her, the princess might not have fallen to the point of martyrdom and disfigurement! Madam, you will not be left in the Huanyi Bureau to suffer as a slave and a maid! ”
Shu'er gently traced her slender eyebrows and said lightly: "It's all in the past, don't mention it again." ”
Bi'er pouted and said, "You forgot, the slave didn't forget." ”
Shu'er stood up with satisfaction and said, "Pick me a plain dress." ”
Bi'er agreed, brought a light purple dress, and while serving Shu'er to dress, she asked, "Are you really going to go and greet the queen?" Aren't you afraid that she will make trouble again like she did that day? ”
Shu'er smiled and said: "The queen is sick, she should serve the sick, how can she not go." ”
Bi'er said uneasily: "I heard that Mrs. An was beaten so badly by her. Aren't you afraid that she will be rough with you too? ”
Shu'er restrained her smile and said, "Of course I'm afraid." She lost her child, she was angry, and she couldn't do anything! However, as a concubine, there is no reason not to go. ”
Bi'er said worriedly, "It's better to ask the Khan to accompany you." ”
Shu'er smiled and said, "You just have to rest assured, it's okay." It's just a walk-through. The queen won't even see her. He looked at the hourglass and said, "All right, the hour is almost up, let's go quickly." ”
Bi'er Fox wondered, "What time?" ”
Shu'er smiled but didn't answer, and didn't hurry out of the house.
When she came to Fengyi Palace, Bi'er said to the maid at the palace gate: "Please sister, Mrs. Qingluan Palace will say hello to the queen." ”
The palace maid saluted Shu'er and said, "Madame, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go in to report." ”
Shu'er smiled and nodded, leisurely admiring the courtyard scenery.
After a while, the palace maid came out, looked apologetic, and said, "The queen is resting, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so please go back madam." When the queen wakes up, the slave will convey the good wishes of the lady to you. ”
Shu'er smiled and said, "There is labor." ”
Turn around and go back.
Bi'er asked curiously, "How did Madame guess?" Sure enough, the queen was gone. ”
Shu'er said: "What's so difficult about this. Recently, the Khan went to see her every day after going down to the court, and at this time the Khan was in the queen's palace, how could she be stupid enough to let another woman spoil the atmosphere. ”
Bi'er suddenly realized.
Shu'er smiled slyly: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, after a while, the Khan will come out." ”
Bi'er will be suspicious: "How come? ”
Shu'er slowed down, as if she was waiting.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Dengli hurrying over.
Shu'er and Bi'er looked at each other and smiled.
Shu'er said softly: "Why doesn't the Khan sit in the queen's palace for a while?" ”
Dengli smiled: "It turns out that you already knew that Ben Khan was here. ”
Shu'er said: "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and it is inconvenient for the queen to see the concubine." As soon as the concubine guessed, she knew that you were here. ”
Dengli said with infinite pity: "Little goblin." Thief spirits. You're outside, how can I sit still. ”
Holding Shu'er's hand, Dengli sighed: "These days, I'm in a bad mood and can't take care of you, don't blame you." ”
Shu'er said considerately: "The pain of the Khan's loss of a son, the concubine feels the same way. ”
Dengli stared at her, his heart was hot, and he gently hugged her into his arms, and said, "Compared to you, nothing is important. ”
Shu'er whispered, "Me too." ”
At this moment, she didn't know if her words were coming from the heart.
The man in front of him must be firmly caught, which is the most important thing.
Qingluan Palace.
Dengli wine in hand, beautiful women in their arms, a little forgetful.
Dengli was drunk: "I heard that all the women in the Tang Dynasty are proficient in music and rhythm, and their wives are dignified county lords, and they must be talented, can you open Ben Khan's eyes?" ”
Shu'er smiled: "In front of the Khan, how dare you be ugly. ”
Bi'er interjected: "Our county lord, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is exquisite, and she is the first talented woman in Chang'an." ”
Shu'er said angrily: "Just you have a lot of mouths." ”
Bi'er smiled and went back to the room to get Shu'er's guqin to marry.
Shu'er's dowry, which was originally sealed in the Green Garden, has now been moved to Qingluan Palace.
Qianqian's hands, lightly touched, the unique clear rhythm of the guqin, like flowing water, rippled with the plucking of Shu'er's fingers.
Gently opening the red lips, slowly spitting out the sound of the warbler, tactfully and lingering, is the famous "Sauvignon Blanc" of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai.
I only heard Shu'er sing: "Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang'an, the weft and autumn are crying in the golden well, the frost is bleak and cold, and the lonely lamp is unclear." Looking at the moon sky and sighing, the beauty is like a flower across the clouds. There is a high sky of green and underworld, and there are waves of green water below, and the soul is far away from the world, and the dream soul is not difficult to pass the mountain. Sauvignon Blanc, heart-wrenching. ”
Dengli looked at Shu'er's focused appearance, and his heart moved. Although I don't know much about the lyrics, I can still guess the lingering and sympathetic artistic conception in it.
One sentence at a time. Is she homesick?
Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang'an. Yes, Chang'an, there is her eternal lovesickness.
Singing and singing, her tears fell.
No one knows for whom her tears flowed.
Two
A month later, Xingyang Palace, Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
Rong Lan's body has recovered, although she is not in a good mood, but as the queen, how can she be absent from her presence on such a major occasion.
Dengli is in the center, Rong Lan and Shu'er are on the left and right, accompanying the attendants on both sides. The ministers, with their families, accompanied the court.
The delicacies are listed, showing the luxury and richness of the palace banquet.
Dengli said with emotion: "It's a pity that Prime Minister Don Mohe is not here, and there is one less opponent who drinks." I don't know, how is the battle ahead, recently, there have been no war reports. ”
One of the ministers said: "Don't worry about the Khan, the prime minister can fight habitually, and he will definitely return triumphantly." When the time comes, the wine of celebration will be drunk happily. ”
Shu'er was on the side, slightly stunned.
Donmohe, the name, sounds so far away now.
He's been gone for more than two months, how is he? She didn't dare to think about it. thought that he was just a passerby in her life, but she sadly found that she really couldn't forget him.
She listened intently, hoping for more news. However, Dengli did not say anything more.
Rong Lan glanced at her obliquely.
Khan really spoiled her out of line, on such an occasion, a concubine, where is her seat. However, she just sat in Xingyang Palace, and she was on an equal footing with herself, one left and one right.
If you don't come to your illness, in the eyes of the ministers, there will only be this slut. Rong Lan thought hatefully, but her face was silent. After all, above the court, the queen's appearance is the most important.
With a month of recuperation, enough time to think, she had to face reality. If you blindly hate the woman that the Khan loves, in the end, what you lose is the Khan's favor.
If the child is gone, there can be again, but the king's heart is lost, but it is irretrievable.
So, her face is calm.
Several Hu girls held the huqin in their arms, dancing and singing.
Dengli smiled and said to Shu'er: "After listening to your piano sound, listening to this again, it tastes like chewing wax." ”
Shu'er smiled: "Khan praises it falsely, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes." ”
Rong Lan said: "The Khan only knows that Mrs. Shu is superb in the piano, but he doesn't know that Mrs. Shu is the most proficient, but she is not here. ”
Dengli turned his head and asked in surprise, "What is it?" ”
Rong Lan smiled and said: "A few days ago, the concubine accidentally got a painting of Mrs. Shu, which can be called a masterpiece of the world. ”
Shu'er looked at Rong Lan, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Rong Lan nodded slightly, and Xing'er stepped forward with a painting scroll in her hand.
Dengli opened it with his own hands, and everyone gathered around and was taken aback.
A picture of a peony about two meters long appeared in front of everyone. The king of flowers, graceful and luxurious, complex petals, layer upon layer, second to open, is really graceful, incisive. It is particularly worth mentioning that above the flowers, there are two butterflies, head and tail, fluttering, lifelike, vivid.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Dengli looked at Shu'er's eyes full of surprise, admiration and admiration: "This is really what you painted?" ”
Shu'er nodded hurriedly, but she was thinking about it quickly: This peony picture was painted when the green garden was bored, and some time ago she packed up her things and moved to Qingluan Palace, looking for it, but this painting was missing, and it somehow fell into Rong Lan's hands. What is her purpose in taking it out at this time?
Rong Lan smiled and said: "Mrs. Shu's Danqing is a must, but everyone doesn't know that her calligraphy is also good." So I saw it by chance, I couldn't put it down, and I collected it. Today, everyone is fortunate to have a glimpse. He pointed to a line next to the picture and said, "Do you recognize it?" Everyone followed her finger and saw a line of delicate cursive above the butterfly: "The world says that I love Chang'an, but in fact, I only love Chang'an." Next to it fell the word "Li Shu".
Rong Lan read slowly: "The world says that I love Chang'an, but in fact, I only love Chang'an. I don't know who Mrs. Shu loves in Chang'an? It can't be a father. The corners of Rong Lan's mouth showed a faint sarcasm.
Shu'er realized at this time that she was planning to steal the painting for these words.
Shu'er's throat was dry and she couldn't speak for a while.
This is missing Chu Qingfu at that time, I can't bear it for a while, and I borrow flowers to express my lovesickness, where can I say it at this time?
Dengli looked at Shu'er suspiciously, waiting for her answer.
Rong Lan Wuzi was still fanning the flames: "No wonder Mrs. Shu likes to play 'Sauvignon Blanc', could it be that there is really no reason for it?" ”
Nominri's face turned red.
When she played "Sauvignon Blanc", she looked like she was in a trance, and she shed tears, she only thought she was missing her hometown at the time, but now it seems that there should be something else.
Could it be that she still has another man in her heart?
Suddenly remembered that when he said goodbye to Princess Ningguo, there was a young man who looked like an officer, and he was reluctant to flirt with her, and Dengli frowned.
Could it be the man?
Dengli looked at Shu'er and saw that she had nothing to hide: "Say, what's going on?" ”
Shu'er stammered: "It's just a painting, what can you do if you talk about your hometown?" ”
Rong Lan smiled and said, "Mrs. Shu is so homesick. Look at this pair of butterflies, two loves, two stays and two flights, what is the meaning? Isn't it, in Chang'an City, who can't let go? Or is it the hero who saved the beauty that day, always in his heart? ”
Deng Li suddenly turned his head to look at Rong Lan and said coldly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Rong Lan's smile was even more perfect: "It's all in the past, why should the Khan be obsessed?" No matter who she has in her heart, she is now the Khan's man. ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Dengli's face was extremely ugly.
Yes, it's in the past, he can tolerate the woman who was her father, but he can't tolerate it, she still has other men in her heart.
He looked at Shu'er coldly.
Shu'er was flustered, she didn't know how to tell the difference, her chest was nauseous, and the food she had just eaten spit out with a "wow" sound.
