Chapter 186: A Poignant Story
When Lady Zhuohua brought her daughter to see Bai Qiuyue, Bai Qiuyue was very sad to see her, and she was followed by a eunuch and a group of guards. She ordered this group of people to stand guard outside the door, and she wanted to talk to Bai Qiuyue.
Seeing that the group of guards no longer looked at her. She then told Bai Qiuyue sadly: "King Rong is dead. And my life can't be so easy. The emperor wanted me to be buried. My child, you will have to raise it for me from now on. ”
Mrs. Zhuohua handed over the child to Bai Qiuyue.
She hugged Bai Qiuyue and cried. Bai Qiuyue never thought that such a peerless person would end up like this.
Her daughter Sifan was also scared and said, "Mother~"
Mrs. Zhuohua's original name was Hua Biyun, and her father was Hua Wenjun, a Chinese from the dynasty. Because she was tired of the days of intrigue in the palace, she took her mother to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. And her daughter was born in a place near the mountains and rivers, in front of his home, the environment is beautiful, so the father named his daughter Hua Biyun. The milk name is Bi'er, and her father and mother are originally a good story. Because of the talent and beauty. His father was good at all kinds of music, so he taught Xiao Bi'er those instruments since he was a child.
The mother spun and weaved. The days are peaceful and beautiful. It's just that Xiao Bi'er has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and the doctor diagnosed that she would not live to be six years old. Her father and mother have always protected her and taken special care of her.
However, little Bi'er didn't know this. One day, while my parents were working, I sneaked out of the window. Because the door is locked.
Xiao Bi'er, who was just six years old, saw a crane on the bank of the river, because she had never seen a crane, so she watched quietly, and the strange thing was that the crane actually spit out half a fish-shaped jade pendant from her mouth, and Xiao Bi'er took this jade pendant curiously.
When my father went back and saw that Xiao Bi'er was gone, he hurriedly ran to the riverbank to look for her, originally thinking that she would be killed. Unexpectedly, she happily teased the crane with water by the river, and the crane cooperated, tilting its head like a child, and the crane went away as soon as it saw the living person.
The father was overjoyed and thought that it must be the crane to repay the favor. Because her father once saved a crane. I think it must be the crane who came to give his daughter blessings. Otherwise, how could there be such a good-looking fish-shaped jade pendant, although it was only half a piece. And her daughter's illness has strangely recovered since then. Compared with her previous frail and sickly body, she is more lively.
But if he loses his horse, he knows the blessing and the curse. This half of a fish-shaped jade pendant not only brought her good luck, but also determined her glory, wealth, and miserable life.
It turned out that when his father's friend Minister Gu came to visit him, he was surprised to see that the woman had half a fish-shaped jade pendant, and he was startled and asked, "How did this jade pendant come from?"
The father answered truthfully. It was said that it was sent by the crane. This is the blessing of her life, otherwise, how could such a sickly body be healthy all of a sudden?
The minister was naturally very strange. Because King Rong just lost half of the jade pendant.
And King Rong met a monk of the long gate, and the monk once told him, maybe your half of the jade will bring you a marriage. And the lady in your life has the word "Bi". At that time, King Rong was already twenty years old.
The minister naturally told King Rong what he had heard and seen from Hua's father.
King Rong then went to the place where Hua Biyun lived with great curiosity.
But I saw that she was still a girl. Sure enough, she wore the half of the fish-shaped jade pendant hanging from her neck with red thread. She timidly hid behind her father. Because apart from Uncle Gu, she hadn't seen anyone else. King Rong saw that she was born well. I wanted to tease her and spread my palms. There was a piece of candy in his hand: "Do you want to eat it?"
She was timid and wanted to eat, but she still swallowed her saliva and wanted to take it but retracted, her voice was soft and glutinous: "Father said that you can't take things that are alive."
"Oh, then I'm your Uncle Gu's friend, and your Uncle Gu is your father's friend, so am I a living person?" He continued to tease.
"No......" Bi'er shook her head. She took the candy from King Rong's hand and put it in her mouth.
"Ate my sugar. Then you're going to come with me. King Rong joked.
"I didn't expect that my uncle would be so small, and a piece of candy would have to deal with Bi'er. Eating your candy and going to follow you? I wouldn't have eaten your candy if I had known. If it weren't for your face, I'd swallow it. I don't want to eat what other people give? After speaking, he looked like a little adult crossed his waist.
King Rong was amused. I didn't expect this little child to be so lively.
But after all, she is still young. In her current appearance, she looks like she must have grown up well.
"Hua Wenjun, you really got such a treasure. Yes, yes, keep it up. King Rong joked and left. She is a female doll, and now the Rongwang Mansion does not need it.
And Hua Wenjun panicked when he heard him say that. Because he's always been a womanizer.
So he quickly left the place. I didn't expect creation to make people. Biyun grew up to be eighteen years old. Both father and mother died of illness. I had no choice but to go to Uncle Gu. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by a person on the way and tied up in a brothel. Because she would rather die than obey, she forced her to die. The old bustard was helpless. made her a singer. Her singing voice can make people forget their worries. She always talked about the lute and sang sad tunes. Just by listening to her voice, others can tell that she is a sentimental and beautiful woman. In addition, she has studied dance for several years, and after she is a famous family, her demeanor is naturally not as dignified and beautiful as those prostitutes. Others can only watch from a distance, and cannot be blasphemed.
At that time, it was rumored that there was a woman named Hua Biyun, who must have been reincarnated as a fairy, because her dance was light and not like a human being. There was a fragrance coming from her body, and some people thought she was a flower fairy in the sky. And her smile can make the flowers lose their color. She sat on the stage and played the pipa, and the onlookers would definitely be crowded. Everyone else rushed to see her. Just to see her. And she usually only focuses on playing the lute. And don't pay attention to the crowd. Even if the attitude is cold, it is a scenery in the eyes of others.
So she naturally became an Oiran.
King Rong, who was standing in the audience, came to see it stupidly. I didn't expect the little girl to look so bright and moving. Because he had also heard that Hua Wen had died of illness, he sent someone to look for that Hua Bier, but he didn't expect to find her in a brothel.
He took out the half of the fish-shaped jade pendant. It just fits perfectly around her neck.
Later, some literati couldn't help but sigh: "The peach is dying, scorching its beauty, this beauty is really worthy of this title!" ”
"What a peach, scorching its glory!" King Rong was amazed.
"It's a godsend. You might as well be my Lady Zhuohua. King Rong and Mrs. Zhuohua said happily.
So the story of Lady Zhuohua spread.
She was destined to be King Rong.
And Mrs. Zhuohua asked her daughter to play with Xiao'er, and she told Bai Qiuyue a shocking secret: "Qiuyue, in fact, I already have someone I like!" ”
Just when Bai Qiuyue was wondering, Mrs. Zhuohua said sadly: "I once told you, but unfortunately he is dead now!" ”
Bai Qiuyue had heard Mrs. Zhuohua say that her favorite person was Liu Yanxi, so she was not shocked, but later, she was shocked by what she said, and only heard Mrs. Zhuohua say: "Actually, I already knew that Liao Feng was Liu Yanxi~"
It turned out that Liao Feng pretended to be dumb in fact, Mrs. Zhuohua knew, as soon as Liao Feng arrived at her house, she saw the clues, his temperament was unbeatable, there was only one man in her impression, and Liao Feng couldn't pretend to be under her inquiry, and told Mrs. Zhuohua that he was Liu Yanxi. But her later words surprised Bai Qiuyue very much.
She sighed: "Although I have been like a prison bird all my life, like being trapped in King Rong's mansion, I have never been able to get free, but I have one thing that I do not regret at all~"
Bai Qiuyue was naturally very curious, and Mrs. Zhuohua leaned against her ear, Bai Qiuyue was shocked, this sense of shock made her tremble all over, only to hear Mrs. Zhuohua say in her ear: "This child is Liu Yanxi!" I drugged him that day and he got me~"
The tragedy of Lady Zhuohua is that she falls in love with someone she shouldn't love. Although she has been prosperous and rich all her life. But there was one thing she couldn't get. It is the love of Liu Wanxi.
And Liu Yanxi just treats her as her master. While practising the sound of the piano, Mrs. Zhuohua always stood by the side and watched him quietly, like a child, and said which one was better. She always has her own unique insights into piano sound. Sometimes she would also order someone to bring some melons and fruits. Sit with Liu Wanxi. The two chatted while eating melons and fruits. So Liu Yanxi knew a lot of stories about Mrs. Zhuohua. Those stories about the poignant and helpless woman have seen half of Mrs. Zhuohua's fish-shaped jade pendant.
"It was this half of the jade pendant that changed my fate." Mrs. Zhuohua often said this. In winter, the two were draped in felt, and she and Liu Yanxi often sat opposite each other on the desk. She poured tea for Liu Wanxi.
The two of them talked about music theory and interesting facts. Outside, the snow was falling like reeds, and the red plums were clustered in the snow, but they were covered with heavy snow. Looming. The cold wind gently shook the branches, shaking off a few snows and plum petals. The fragrance of plum blossoms is refreshing. Through the carved window, the sandalwood incense in the house creates a unique taste.
Maybe only Liu Wanxi can bring her happiness. Mrs. Zhuohua's smile was very beautiful. It's even more touching than the red plum outside the window. And Liu Yanxi knew that such a charming woman did not have anyone who appreciated her. This is her sorrow.
The incomparably noble King Rong naturally had to look for flowers and ask willows. And his wives and concubines are even more crowded. Sometimes King Rong returned. Without a few words, I saw King Rong pulling her hair and dragging her out.
And his wives and concubines Concubine Tang, Concubine Luo, and Concubine Xi often oppose Mrs. Zhuohua, and from time to time slander Mrs. Zhuohua in front of King Rong. Mrs. Zhuohua often wept alone.
And King Rong, in Liu Yanxi's eyes, is just a vulgar and despicable person who doesn't know how to appreciate beauty, he is just a person who will do anything for power, and women are just his playthings.
The so-called man is a knife, and I am a fish.
Because of the other concubines, King Rong reduced the number of times he came to see Mrs. Zhuohua. One day, he came over and pampered Mrs. Zhuohua, and then, as if for some unknown reason, he brushed his sleeves away, perhaps because he was gradually tired of her body.
Mrs. Zhuohua sat a little lonely by the window, just wearing thin pajamas. A beautiful body makes people's hearts move.
Her long hair was untied and untied, and it was spread out.
With a faint scent.
She was sipping a drink.
And she quietly ordered a maid Xuanliu to come over. She wanted to talk to Liu Yanxi about what was in her heart.
Liu gradually came over.
But he stood quietly not far from Lady Zhuohua. "Lady Zhuohua, don't drink. Drinking alcohol hurts the body. ”
And he knew that men and women could not kiss each other, and he stood in a proper manner. The eyes did not dare to look at her.
Because he knew that Mrs. Zhuohua was wearing very thin clothes.
"I know." Mrs. Zhuohua said sadly, "It's just that I'm a little bored. Why don't you come and drink with me? ”
The willow gradually passed. But the eyes did not dare to look at her.
"Take off your mask, right? I can't see you in the dark. Mrs. Zhuohua smiled.
Liu Yanxi calmly took off the mask.
Mrs. Zhuohua didn't look at him, but said lightly: "Gradual, you drank this drink for me."
Liu Yanxi knew that Mrs. Zhuohua must be depressed in her heart. It's not that I want to drink too much, I just want to have a few drinks to relieve my boredom.
And if she shirked it, it would only break her heart. So Liu Yanxi drank this glass of wine.
It turned out to be dizzy.
Only Mrs. Zhuohua's voice was in his ear: "You are so incapable of drinking."
In fact, this is Mrs. Zhuohua's plan. This glass of wine was drugged by Mrs. Zhuohua just now.
And Liu Yanxi just thought that something like that had happened in his dream.
Because when I woke up, I was lying on my own bed.
It's hard to think of. It was because of that night that Mrs. Zhuohua became pregnant with his child.
When he was driven out of the mansion by King Rong, she asked to have a conversation with Liu Yanxi alone.
And the content of the speech was: "Gradually, the most right thing I did in my life was to give birth to a child for the man I loved. This girl, she's not King Rong's, she's your child, and that incident between us, happened that night when I drank and I let you come over. But what chills me is that the name you shouted turned out to be Yue'er, Yue'er, who is it? Is it my sister? ”
Liu Yanxi did not answer. He was shocked by what she said. Instead, he was angry, he didn't understand why Mrs. Zhuohua did this, and Mrs. Zhuohua said that she actually knew that he was Liu Yanxi from the beginning, because she had seen him before, and she had always had a love for him. And Liu Wanxi is in pain, others are pregnant with their own children, which no matter who will feel like a bolt from the blue!
Mrs. Zhuohua smiled bitterly, "I understand."
With that, she left.
She recalled the time she spent with Liu Yanxi, it was really the most beautiful time she felt, and she was going to Huangquan, but she was not afraid, because if she died, she would be able to go to Liu Yanxi, and she felt happy in her heart. And her ridiculous life is over, she would rather die than live alone and lonely. Bai Qiuyue saw a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth.
And her last words to Bai Qiuyue were: "Qiuyue, I'm out, you will take care of my daughter from now on." ”
Bai Qiuyue's heart was filled with sadness, the morning was red, and the twilight was dry bones.
Mrs. Zhuohua is dead. ended her lonely life.
