1、
The silver hair on his father's temples became more and more dazzling, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Sister-in-law, it's your father who can't stand you and let you enter the palace for your sister."
I despise it in my heart, thinking of my second sister who became a nun in Jing'an Temple.
Being able to share the worries of the Xi family is what a woman should do. ”
The faces of the clansmen were full of guilt.
They don't know.
I've been planning for this day for a long time.
I have known Duan Yi since childhood, and he attended my family school for a few years when he was a teenager.
Many years ago, in the prime minister's house.
The little man held his skirt in both hands and crept under the carved window of the school.
I brought a small stone and stood on it to reach the window.
She tried to poke her head inside.
Brother Yi! Cherry for you! ”
With a thud, she threw the cherry wrapped in oiled paper into the school.
I don't know if it's too hard.
The moment she threw it in, she fell backwards.
Yes! "Oops! ”
The young man just caught the cherry, and the smile was still in the corner of his eyebrow.
Hearing the exclamations outside, he jumped out of the carved window.
In front of me, there are two little people lying on the grass on their backs.
He picked up the little girl with tears in her apricot eyes.
Stroked the weeds off her skirt and frowned.
How can you be careless? Did the fall hurt? ”
The little girl wiped a handful of tears and turned to look at me with a crying voice.
Sister, did I crush you? Get up and take a look. ”
I pulled out an ugly smiley face.
Sister Jinrou, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt. ”
I lowered my head and wrung the corners of my clothes, not daring to look up.
Sister Jinrou took my hand and prepared to leave.
After taking two steps, he turned around and smiled brightly at Duan Yi.
Brother Yi, the cherries are all washed. ”
I quietly raised my head and caught Duan Yi's smile.
When he laughed, his eyebrows were crooked, and he looked tight.
But there is no me in his eyes, and his eyes are all Sister Jinrou.
Duan Yi was like a warm light at the end of the darkness, attracting me closer.
The road was dark and dark, and I stood here hesitating and did not dare to move forward.
Qi Jinrou carried the lantern and walked towards him firmly.
I followed her, hiding in her shadow by the light of her hand.
Step by step, he walked towards Duan Yi.
Duan Yi's filial piety period has not yet expired, and I have no place for the time being.
To the outside world, he only said that he would stay in the palace and learn the rules.
For Duan Yi, I was a hostage sent by the Xi family.
Brother Yi, the eldest sister's birthday is coming, and I want to go and see her. ”
I lay on the table and tilted my head to look at Duan Yi, who was flipping through the book.
Well, the Imperial Princess, I arranged for you to meet. ”
I couldn't help but laugh.
Duan Yi put down the book, thinking that I was laughing happily because I wanted to see my eldest sister.
He reached out and pinched my face.
I'll have someone send some good things tomorrow, and you can pick some for the imperial concubine as a birthday gift. ”
I grinned sweetly.
Thank you, Brother Yi! ”
When Duan Yi got up to leave, he called my aunt who taught him.
It is now early autumn, and she should not drink ice again, and there is no need to offer ice in the palace. ”
I hung my head and pouted in displeasure.
Brother Yi! …
The aunt bowed and knelt down to plead guilty.
The emperor even remembers the likes and dislikes of the young lady clearly, and he has not seen the young lady drink ice these days, and he doesn't know that the young lady is greedy and prone to cold, and the slave maid is not thoughtful. ”
It doesn't matter, when the emperor did not ascend the throne, he studied in my home school for two years, and I am afraid that it was written down at that time. ”
Actually, I'm not greedy for cold, I've been weak since I was a child, and I'm afraid of the cold.
It is Qi Jinrou who is greedy for cold....
The first meeting with her, with him, was at his father's birthday banquet.
After lunch, I pretended to go back to my room for a lunch break.
secretly ran to see what Duan Yi, who was famous in the capital, looked like.
I hid out of the carved window of my father's study.
Peeking at his father and Duan Yi chatting with them, Qi Jinrou took a fancy to the snow-like cherry blossoms outside the study.
This sister, do you know that the ladder in the house is **?
Hush! I was startled, covered her mouth, and pulled her away from the window.
She wasn't angry, and let me rudely tug at her sleeve.
Who are you? How did it suddenly appear? If my father finds me lying in the corner, he will scold me! ”
The little girl Qi Jinrou, today with her father and mother entered the house to celebrate the birthday of the adult, wandering in the garden, and happened to meet a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, I wanted to find a cloud ladder to pick a bunch, I didn't want to frighten the fourth lady, Jinrou made amends to the fourth lady. ”
She bowed gracefully.
How do you know I'm Miss Four, I've never met you. ”
I just heard Mrs. Xi say that the fourth lady in the house is beautiful and colorful, and you just called the adult father, so I guessed it. ”
Mother won't praise me like that, Sister Jinrou, don't tell anyone about today's events. ”
Yes, you have to tell me where the ladder is? I'll keep it a secret for you when you pick the flowers. ”
This....I don't know. ”
The second sister would also take me to play on weekdays, but she didn't go up the tree or down the river.
The Wenchen family, compared with the general's mansion, is much more restricted.
It's okay, I'll think of something else! ”
She patted me lightly on the shoulder, as if to comfort me who couldn't pick flowers.
We brought a chair out of the hall, and I held on to it, and she stood up to get enough flowers.
Be careful, be careful. ”
Sister Jinrou, why don't pick them, there are other beautiful flowers in the garden, let's go and take a walk in the garden. ”
Oh, it's really verbose, don't worry. ”
The unexpected happened.
When she jumped up on the chair and picked the flower, she stumbled, the moment she fell.
Duan Yifei wrapped his body around her waist and hugged her to the ground steadily.
Embracing each other in the rain of flowers.
A fateful encounter.
My name is Qi Jinrou, what's your name? ”
Duan Yi. "Sister-in-law, I seem to like Duan Yi! ”
But, Sister Jinrou, I also like Duan Yi....
The red palace gate is mottled and dilapidated, slowly opening with a "squeak" sound.
Eldest sister, it's me who comes! ”
I almost ran in.
The room was resplendent with gold, and a strong smell of spices entered my mind.
The eldest sister sat in the main seat in full costume, and there was no one around her.
She looked tired, but smiled softly at me as before.
Come and let the eldest sister take a look. ”
I stepped forward with tears in my eyes.
The eldest sister has been waiting for this day. ”
Her eyes were dull, like a dry lake in the jungle.
It is surrounded by papier-mâché flowers and trees that can be destroyed by a gentle gust of wind.
I sat beside her.
She grabbed my hand, it was cold and stiff, and I couldn't help but shudder.
Are you happy? After entering the palace, I can see Duan Yi every day. ”
Joy. "Yes, I also saw my beloved every day, and I rejoiced every day. "Eldest sister.
The eldest sister stroked my face with a gentle expression and a little light in her eyes.
When I was pregnant with that child, I thought that this child should be as quiet and lovely as you were a child. ”
I hung my head, the eldest sister's child was not saved in the end.
Sister-in-law, he is so ruthless, Concubine Ji pushed me into the lake, and he acquiesced. ”
I hated it, and when I was about to sink to the bottom, the unborn child pushed me in the back, and I survived. ”
It's a pity that the lake still drowned me. ”
Her hand was so hard that I felt pain, and a line of tears fell on the back of her hand.
When Concubine Ji died, she soaked in water for a long time, and she was unrecognizable.
I pretended to count her relics and found her hidden letters, which added a sense of certainty to King Yi's usurpation.
Concubine Ji, she and I are lifelong enemies, but in the end, she helped me.
This harem beauty is like a bell made of jade.
The red thread at one end of the bell is in the hands of the emperor, and the other end is tied to the life of the whole clan. ”
The eldest sister's hand gradually loosened, and her eyes looked vacantly at the jumping candlelight.
Sister-in-law, no matter how much you look like her, you won't be her after all. ”
I was stunned, raised my hand to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and looked firm.
Qi Jinrou will not come back, forever. ”
The imperial concubine missed the emperor and was overly worried, and died on the second day of her twenty-first birthday.
I stood in front of the Mirror Heart Lake, looking at the calm water**.
Duan Yi sent someone to send some kitsch gadgets every day.
Ugly bamboo-woven crickets, annoying Luban locks.
Over the years, Qi Jinrou liked it, so I pretended to like it.
Wow, it's dangerous near the water. ”
Duan Yi didn't know when he stood behind me.
I craned my neck and turned to look at him, just about to laugh and tease him.
I looked at the back of the concubine, as if I saw the silent little man in the prime minister's mansion in the past. ”
After you and Rou'er got to know each other, your temper became more and more like her, which made people forget what you used to be. ”
Sister Jinrou's words and deeds are a role model for courtiers. ”
He looked me in the eye and didn't say a word, and I looked away silently.
I will send you back to the palace. ”
Thank you. Duan Yi walked straight into the palace, stopped, and turned his head to look at me.
Today, I want to enjoy a cup of tea. ”
Please forgive the emperor, the courtiers are tired. ”
Duan Yiping retreated from the maidservant and closed the door with his own hands.
I was in the house, and he was under the porch.
I'm going to ask you a question. ”
The ring incense used in the eldest sister's house will cause hysteria and hurt people's hearts and lungs when used for a long time. ”
I heard that the new emperor ascended the throne and specially rewarded it to the imperial concubine. ”
Well. "To Your Majesty, is the eldest sister just an abandoned chess piece? ”
It's about the first emperor, I have to be cautious, I don't understand, you don't understand the things in the court. ”
I felt all my strength drained and squatted helplessly on the ground along the door frame.
I remember that on the night when Qi Jinrou's father and brother died tragically on the battlefield, you broke into the East Palace despite the repeated obstructions of the first emperor, blocking thousands of soldiers with one person and one sword, just to cut off a corner of the former prince's robe for Qi Jinrou.
At that time, the court was constantly fighting openly and secretly, the first emperor listened to slander, the former prince was cowardly and incompetent, the Qi family swore to serve the former prince, and my father asked you to avoid the edge for the time being, and never wade into this troubled water.
Qi Jinrou only said one word to you, if you want to tear the stupid prince's robe with your own hands, you will lose your mind.
Annoying the emperor, you and your father's plans have to be advanced.
The father planned day and night, and the eldest sister was suspected by the first emperor, suffered a lot in the palace, and risked her life again and again to deliver the news. ”
In your heart, only Qi Jinrou is the most important. ”
Xi Muqing, what nonsense are you talking about?! This matter has nothing to do with Rou'er, her father and brother buried their bodies in the desert, she was lonely and helpless at that time, you grew up with affection, how can you say such a thing! ”
At that time, I was just the king of Yi, but now that I am the emperor, I have to be more cautious in everything! ”
I wiped the tears from my face, all things, he will lose his principles when he meets Qi Jinrou.
How can I compare to her.
Tomorrow I will decree that your father and mother will be crowned."
I stood up, opened the door, and Ying Ying knelt down.
The courtiers knelt down and begged the emperor to take back the canonization decree, her father was too old, and she was afraid that she would not be able to share his worries for His Majesty in the court, so the courtiers had the courage to beg the emperor to give her father an idle position and let him spend his old age in peace. ”
He gave me a condescending look, turned away, and left with a "I know." ”
I knelt on the cold tiles and couldn't get up for a long time.
I knew in my heart that he didn't want to see me kneel.
Because Qi Jinrou never knelt down easily, even when her father and brother left, she never let herself be so depressed in front of the first emperor.
The New Year is approaching, the new emperor's filial piety period is about to expire, and as usual, I will become Duan Yi's concubine.
Maybe it's guilt, maybe the Xi family still has use value.
He rewarded me with many things, and gave me a staircase.
After all, he is an emperor .
Yun'er and Dongzhu chattered and picked and chosen.
I pulled out a smile I hadn't seen in a long time.
Yun'er, go to the small kitchen, I'll make some jujube paste cakes and send them to Brother Yi. ”
The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone did not dare to speak, and I had not mentioned him in the palace for a long time.
Dongzhu was the first to reflect and said with a smile.
Yes, it's not good for a girl to go to thank you empty-handed. ”
Yun'er, you go and make pastries with the girl, and I will count these rewards and put them in the warehouse. ”
When I walked to the door of the kitchen, I heard a little maid gossiping.
How can the girl be like a different person these days? ”
This won't fall out of favor before the concubine is crowned. ”
Yun'er was just about to reprimand them out loud, but I shook my head.
No one will like Xi Muqing in the past.
Everyone's preference is a substitute for Qi Jinrou.
In the imperial study, I bowed respectfully.
The courtiers made jujube mud cake with their own hands, and the emperor tasted it. ”
Duan Yi sat on the couch without raising his head to read the book in his hand.
All stand down. "The door of the main hall opened and closed, leaving Duan Yi and me alone.
I placed the food box on the low mahogany table, sat down on my own, and picked up a piece to eat.
Tsk, didn't you make it for me? ”
The courtiers tried the taste for the emperor. ”
Oh? How does that taste? ”
Top top delicious! ”
He put down the book in his hand and handed me the tea he had in hand.
I took a sip and choked until I coughed.
He smiled and smoothed my back, his eyebrows soft.
After the New Year, he will be seventeen years old, how can he still be like a child. ”
Brother Yi, you can taste it, there is no regression in the craftsmanship of the concubine. ”
This year's New Year's Eve is celebrated, do you want to join me? ”
Yes! Brother Yi is going to wrap me up.
