Chapter 1 The Girl Under the Pear Blossom Tree
Luoyang pear blossoms fall like snow, and the green grass by the river is as fine as a tree.
On the outskirts of the capital, in a small courtyard, a beautiful girl dressed in white like snow stood under the pear blossom tree and muttered to herself.
"It's been a year, and the pear blossoms are in full bloom, he should be back, right?"
Her long black hair like ink fluttered in the air, and the snow-white pear blossoms gently fell on her long jet-black hair.
The lover that the girl under the pear blossom tree is waiting for is Nangong Ling, the first warrior of Guangwu Kingdom, the general of Zhenguo, which girl is not pregnant with spring? Nangong Ling led the troops to the border to quell the rebellion, and he didn't come back for a year.
The season when the pear blossoms are in full bloom is her agreement with him.
The world says that cherry blossoms are the most beautiful, but only the innocence and beauty of pear blossoms can be compared to her longing for her distant lover.
The door was pushed open, and a maid in green clothes walked in gently, and two beautiful shadows appeared under the snow-white pear blossom tree.
"Miss Shen, don't wait for him any longer, he won't come back, and tomorrow you will enter the palace as a concubine." The maid said:
This girl under the pear blossom tree is Shen Bingdie.
"Qin Yuan, you say, will he die on the battlefield? Otherwise, I've been waiting for a year, why hasn't he come back? Shen Bingdie's tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, and her face with rain was pale and weak.
A beautiful meteor streaked across the sky, the girl raised her head and looked up at the sky, her hair hanging low, shining with the luster of a virgin in the light, the meteor was so beautiful, dazzling, like a lantern, but it was too short.
"What a beautiful meteor." Shen Bingdie's clear and transparent eyes looked straight at the meteor and said:
"I heard that if there is a meteor in the sky, there will be a person on the earth who will die." Shen Bingdie's eyes were tightly closed, and crystal droplets of water glittered on her eyelashes.
In the courtyard in the distance, a girl's exclamation came out: "Miss, Miss, wake up......
Shen Bingdie's eyes came back from the beauty of the disappearing meteor, looked at the crimson courtyard, and was stunned for a long time.
"It's her, the meteor just now is her, she's gone." Shen Bingdie looked at the courtyard with moist eyes and said:
She is Shen Bingdie's sworn sister Bai Qingqiu, she and Bai Qingqiu vowed to marry Nangong Ling, and the two sisters worked together as a husband.
Shen Bingdie and the maid Qinxiao walked into the crimson courtyard together, where a young lady named Bai Qingqiu lived and a maid named Lianlian.
Entering the boudoir, Shen Bingdie saw that the maid in green plain clothes was falling on the bed and crying bitterly.
"My young lady is dead." The green-clothed maid said:
Shen Bingdie stepped forward and touched the pulse of the noble lady, her brows were furrowed, her eyebrows were closed, and her delicate face trembled for a while.
Shen Bingdie slowly opened her eyes, tears soaked her pupils, and she looked vaguely at Bai Qingqiu who was dying on the bed and said, "Bai Qingqiu......"
Bai Qingqiu, who was dying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, his delicate and pale face, and struggled weakly.
Bai Qingqiu said: "Shen Bingdie, my good sister, we can't work together, sister, I'll go first, remember, you must not enter the palace, the palace is full of bloody battles, and it is not a place where people can go." ”
Shen Bingdie's pear blossom with rain-like face flowed crystal tears, and said, "Sister Bai Qingqiu, we once swore to marry Nangong Ling together, and now you are going to leave me alone?" ”
Shen Bingdie lifted Bai Qingqiu's silk quilt, which was stained with blood, soaking Bai Qingqiu's back.
"Who beat you like this?" Shen Bing Butterfly lost its complexion.
Bai Qingqiu bowed his head and was silent.
The maid Lian Lian cried and said, "My young lady entered the palace and served the emperor, and the prince wanted to accept my young lady as a concubine, and Concubine Qin's mother, Nalan Fengxi, disliked the background of my young lady, and framed my young lady for stealing her golden colorful butterfly cloud rain dress, and beat my young lady 50 boards and drove her out of the palace, we had nowhere to go, and then we returned here." ”
There was a moment of silence.
Bai Qingqiu said: "Good sister, you must take good care of Brother Nangong Ling for a lifetime, I bless you, but unfortunately, our sisters can't marry together, otherwise the family composed of the three of us must be very happy, it's a pity to ......"
The sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, just like that, like that bright meteor, is far away, and that beautiful life can no longer be recovered.
Looking at the good sister who slowly stiffened on the bed, Shen Bingdie's tears rained down.
The maid Lianlian covered her mouth, pushed open the door, and ran out.
Shen Bingdie walked out of Bai Qingqiu's room, and Qin Yuan grabbed Shen Bingdie's sleeve.
"Miss, do you still want to enter the palace? Now it's your turn. Qin Yuan said:
Shen Bingdie shook her head and walked out of the room with Qin Yuan.
"This is the rule of the current dynasty, I must abide by it." Shen Bingdie said:
"Princess, we can escape, Princess Bai Qingqiu was killed by Concubine Qin!" Qin Yuan said:
"Escape?" Shen Bingdie's heart moved.
Shen Bingdie is the daughter of King Nanyan, and the rule of the current dynasty is that all the daughters of palace ministers must enter the palace and serve the prince for three months, if they are favored by the prince, they will be named concubines on the spot, and they will be promoted to imperial concubines in the future.
Today's Concubine Qin, that is, Nalan Fengxi, she has the blessing of the Nalan family, taking advantage of the emperor's personal expedition and the time when there is no emperor in the palace, she wantonly murdered the daughter of the palace minister, and ran rampant.
Shen Bingdie stood under the pear blossom tree, looking up at the pear blossoms on the tree, the breeze blew, and countless pear blossom petals fell down, as if it was raining pear blossoms.
What a beautiful scenery, a year ago, Nangong Ling's brother made an agreement with Shen Bingdie here, and a year later, they met under this pear blossom tree, and Nangong Ling vowed to marry her and Bai Qingqiu.
But now, Bai Qingqiu has been killed by Concubine Qin, and now it's her turn, in a few days, the palace will send someone to take Shen Bingdie to the harem, everyone like Bai Qingqiu is beautiful, virtuous girls, are all regarded as thieves who steal the golden butterfly pear flower skirt, and are framed to death, let alone themselves?
Colorful butterfly pear flower skirt?
"Miss, look, there's a female corpse floating in the river." The maid pointed to the river not far away with her jade finger and said:
I saw that small river, there were many pear petals floating on the flowing water, on weekdays, she loved to walk by the river with Nangong Ling, so she called this small river the lovers river.
Now on the river of lovers, there are female corpses floating all the way, with long hair and shawls, green clothes, and graceful bodies, which have been soaked by the river.
"Lianlian? Is it Bai Qingqiu's maid Lianlian? The maid and Qin's face suddenly lost color.
The maid Lian Lian committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Shen Bingdie's clear and beautiful eyes were full of fear.
She was a good maid just now, but now she is floating on the river.
What a poor maid, such a poor pair of master and servant.
Bai Qingqiu had just died, and her maid had committed suicide with her.
On Shen Bingdie's pear blossom's rain-like delicate face, a trace of pain appeared.
"Let's fish her up and bury her with Bai Qingqiu, what a poor pair of master and servant." Shen Bingdie lamented:
