Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The tea is made from Wuxing purple bamboo shoots from Yangzhou this year, and the water used to cook the tea is the dewdrops on the flower petals collected in the morning. Although it has not yet entered the throat, the fragrance is strong and clear, and penetrates the heart and lungs.

Binglun fiddled with the tea cover lightly, the smile on his face grew stronger, Fang wanted to send it to his lips, as if he remembered something again: "Su Daily heard from Concubine Chen that Concubine Qing is ingenious and good at brewing wine, and made it" Sweet-scented osmanthus brewing is mellow and sweet, with a long aftertaste, and it is better than the imperial wine room. Although it is still far away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, but since it is a good day for the concubine, many people in the harem gather together, why not take some to taste, to help the elegance? "

Concubine Qing was overjoyed, she got up quickly and said: "That's Concubine Chen's promotion, and my concubine should not be praised so much. It's a great honor for my concubine to offer gold noodles to taste. It just so happens that there are still two altars in the palace. Five years of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the concubine will send someone to fetch it."

Binglun was in a very happy mood: "Then I'll just wait." Gently putting down the teacup, Zong Xu's heart almost jumped to his throat just now, after hearing this, he fell straight down again, staying there unconsciously .

The maid next to Concubine Qing immediately took the key and left the palace, Gao Xian winked at Wang Youxing who was standing by the gate from a distance, Wang Youxing understood, and followed closely with the two eunuchs.

After the banquet, watch a play in the Xianle Pavilion. The stage is exquisitely designed, spacious and majestic, with several floors. The three large houses are at the same level as the stage, where the emperor and the empress dowager watched the opera. Because the weather is still hot, the large glass windows in front have been removed and replaced with translucent light yellow gauze.

According to the practice in the palace, the first few songs are birthday and birthday repertoires, to celebrate peace and pray for auspiciousness. Zong Xu never likes to listen to this kind of drama, but at this time he has a ghost in his heart, so he just tries his best to be patient and stay by Binglun's side , secretly rejoicing that the loud drum music in his ears could make him calm down a little.There were various food boxes and fruit plates on the long table in front of him. After sitting for a long time, he would eat walnuts, almonds, fresh fruit preserves, etc., and drink tea continuously. Binglun said: "The emperor didn't eat it for lunch. Okay?"

Zong Xu was startled, and when he looked sideways, Binglun was very interested and was concentrating on watching the play. He seemed to be talking casually, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Today, Concubine Qing's birthday is here, and the queen mother and all the concubines are here to celebrate. My son and minister are very happy , the appetite is actually better than before."

"Diet must be moderate, don't eat too many miscellaneous foods, otherwise it will easily hurt the spleen and stomach." Binglun turned his head and looked at him carefully: "The emperor is not in good spirits today, but are you tired?"

"The empress mother's instruction, I will definitely keep it in my heart." Zong Xu squeezed sweat in his palms, and reluctantly said: "Yesterday, after the lecture on the feast day, several academicians assigned a lot of homework, and my son recited it until the third watch, so I feel a little bit better today. tired."

Binglun said: "If they don't be strict with you, how can you benefit?"

Zong Xu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, he just said, "Yes."

Binglun smiled: "Since you are tired, you should go back to the palace and rest, the queen mother also knows that you can't watch these plays."

Zong Xu couldn't wait for her to say this, so he hurriedly said: "I am very grateful for the mother's compassion." He stood up, bowed slightly, and then took his leave. Wei Lun and the others quickly kowtowed to Binglun, and then followed out .

Seeing that there was no one around, Gao Xian thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, why don't you invite Master Chen over here?"

Binglun stared at the stage intently, and after a while, said softly: "En."

On the stage, the second show is being performed, which is called "Funding Immortals Blessing Birthday". Only the silk and bamboo are played together, the drums are clanging, and the elaborate decorations and roles of various gods in the sky are performed. It is extremely lively.

Gao Xian raised the curtain, Lian Zhen came in with her head down, walked to Binglun's side, bowed her knees and saluted: "The concubine has seen the queen mother."

Binglun sneered: "There are no outsiders here."

There was no sound, Binglun said: "Are you going to stand all the time?" Slowly sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, do you have to waste your time getting angry with me?"

Lian Zhen pursed her lips tightly, and sat down on Zong Xu's chair just now, a faint smile appeared in Bing Lun's eyes: "Am I pretty?"

Although Lian Zhen was annoyed, she couldn't help asking: "What?"

"Otherwise, why have you been secretly looking at me today?"

Lian really remembered that she hadn't looked at herself since she entered the gate of Qionghua Palace today, and said softly: "Yes, but in the eyes of the empress dowager, I am nothing, right?"

Binglun said: "If I didn't pay attention to you all the time, how would I know you were looking at me?"

Lianzhen was actually stopped by her question, Binglun said softly: "How about I listen to the play with you all afternoon today?" While speaking, he reached out his hand from under the chair and gently held her hand, Lian really couldn't help it. Looking back, Gao Xian was the only one serving in the huge room. He was standing by the door curtain with his head lowered, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, like a puppet, as if he hadn't heard anything about his surroundings.

Binglun adjusted her sitting posture and continued to watch the performance, but her thumb began to gently rub the back of her warm hand. Although Lian Zhen still had a pretty face, her heart seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, and her star pupils gradually became brighter.After a long time, he also let out a soft sigh: "I've heard about the foreign court."

"Ah."

"You don't know me..." At this point, there was a pang in my heart, and I stopped again.

Binglun frowned slightly: "This play is very tasteless." After sitting for a while, he got up and said, "I've had a few glasses of wine, I'm a little dizzy, I want to sleep for a while."

It turned out that among the three houses, only two were used for sitting, drinking tea and watching theatre, all of which could be seen through the grid. The one on the far right was more hidden, but it was used for temporary rest. The incense burner is equipped with a brocade couch, which is warmly and gorgeously decorated.

Binglun lay on the soft couch with her hands behind her head, staring at Lianzhen intently. Lianzhen's face was reddish, and she sat down beside her, smelling the faint sweet osmanthus fragrance in her breath, stretched out her hand and gently Touched her forehead: "Are you really drunk? Are you dizzy?"

"I'm a little drunk." Binglun said with a half-smile on his face, "But it's not because of those few glasses of wine."

Lian Zhen Xiangxi is plain and elegant, but today she has exquisite hairpin rings and delicate makeup. She is wearing a begonia red gauze shirt, which makes her icy skin more beautiful than the snow.Binglun's gaze rested on her face, reckless and scorching hot, Lianzhen's cheeks were hot, and she couldn't help but bowed her head and buried it in her chest.

Binglun pulled out her hand, and took off her hairpins, Zhuhua one by one. . . . . .Letting her cloud-like hair pile up on her chest naturally, Lian Zhen closed her eyes, listening to her steady heartbeat, all her resentment burst into nothingness.

Noisy drums, applause, long and loud singing. . . . . .Everything seems to have gone far away, isolated, the whole world, only the small world belonging to the two of them is left, what can be seen and heard is only the person in front of me, no, there is no need to speak, No need to hear, as long as two hearts are one, isn't it better than a thousand words?

As time flowed gently, Binglun caressed her soft hair for a long time, and said softly: "The situation in front of me is a bit difficult. In the future, not only will we not be able to meet in private, but you must never step into Chongde Palace again." step."

A word like awakening Lian Zhen from a sweet dream, she slowly sat up and looked at her blankly, knowing in her heart that since she said it was difficult, it must be much more serious than the so-called difficulty.

Binglun couldn't bear it: "My father placed his people by my side in the name of protecting me."

"You...you expected him to be like this a long time ago, you must have a way, right?" Although she was known to be deep in the city and resourceful, but after all, she had only seen her methods in the harem, Now what she wants to fight against is her father, a powerful minister with great reputation, what will she use to fight against him?Xu'er is still young, and the courtiers in the court are weak, and now Huo Mu has started to attack the Imperial Forest Army.

"Lian'er, what did I often say to you before the late Emperor passed away?"

Lian was really confused, and recalled: "You tell me not to be afraid, and...you let me believe in you."

Binglun said: "You still have to do this now."

"But . . . but you can do it, can't you?"

Binglun looked away: "I'm not sure."

Lian really knew that she would not say another word if she continued to pursue this topic. After a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "If your father forces the palace to seize power one day, will something happen to you and Xu'er?"

She only asked about her and Zongxu's safety, but not about others, because in her heart, these two people she loved and cared about the most, were far more important than herself, and she worked day and night for them Their situation is worrying.Binglun was slightly startled, before saying after a while: "Why are you always thinking of others, you should be more worried about yourself."

Lian Zhen was angry: "How could you be someone else?"

Binglun was silent for a while, then said: "If we are fine, but we can never be together again, what will you do?"

"Then...then I'd rather die."

Her voice suddenly became a little hoarse, before she could say a word, a drop of tear fell, which happened to land on Binglun's wrist.Binglun's heart seemed to be pierced by an invisible blade, and the dull pain spread instantly. She sat up, hugged her in her arms, and forced a smile: "Look at you, I just asked casually, but you took it seriously." Feeling her delicate body trembling, feeling remorseful, he cupped her face and kissed her eyes.

Her lips were as hot as fire, bit by bit she wiped away her tears and melted away her pain. Gradually, Lianzhen's body seemed to burn with her, but she muttered in a low voice: "You said you would accompany me I listened to the play all afternoon."

Binglun said "hmm": "Isn't that listening?" Breathing quickly, she leaned into her ear and said, "No matter what we do today, no one will hear you, just don't worry."

"She knows, she knows, she must know something!"

Zong Xu was like a restless little beast, walking around in the hall, fidgeting, Wei Lun couldn't help softly comforting him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, be patient, don't scare yourself."

"Otherwise she used to drink tea, so why is she drinking suddenly today?" Zong Xu frowned, his face was very ugly, and he stared at Wei Lun fiercely: "You said you made the arrangements, who is it?" Leaked the wind?! I told you to be cautious!"

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!" Since he is a celebrity around the emperor, he naturally has no shortage of people to curry favor with, so it is not difficult to cultivate a few confidants.The medicine was brought in by his godson. He was the purchaser of the Imperial Dining Room, and the Qionghua Palace had already arranged it. They dared to risk their heads to do this for him, not only because he allowed them Prosperity and wealth, and more importantly, they all have their hands in his hands.

Wei Lun glanced at the emperor, and continued: "The servant thought that the queen mother didn't know about it. She didn't show any abnormality when she went to the theater before. She was still talking and laughing, and she cared about the emperor. It was just a coincidence that she was drinking."

Zong Xu snorted coldly: "What do you know! What does the queen mother have in her heart, she never shows it on her face." Thinking of something, her face turned pale: "Maybe she keeps her face first, and then conspires with Huo Mu, thinking The method is slowly crippling me."

"But this is not an ordinary thing. Knowing that someone is going to murder her, can she still be calm? Can she still sit there and watch a play?"

Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Zong Xu calmed down a bit, sat down on the imperial chair, his thoughts were still in chaos, Wei Lun said: "The servant has sent someone to inquire, the queen mother has been staying in the fairy music hall, if she leaves at night, she If there is no abnormal movement over there, it proves that it is indeed ignorant."

Zong Xu said, "Yes."

The two of them stayed in Changle Palace, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles, and their days were like years. When it was almost time to hold the lamps, there was news from outside. Wei Lun hurriedly went to the palace to report to Zongxu: "Your Majesty, the show over there just ended. The queen mother is very happy, and said that today's show She sang well, not only Jinkou praised several famous actors, but all the actors and musicians were rewarded with silver and food. Master Qing also kept her for dinner before going. She was not allowed to play, so she laughed and said that she was there, too On the contrary, the concubines can't enjoy themselves freely, I'm afraid they have returned to Chongde Palace now."

When Zong Xu heard this, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, but he was only happy for a moment, he sighed again, and sat down on the ground slumped.

Wei Lun asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Is this God's will? Can I just sit and wait for death?" Zong Xu had tears in his eyes. As an emperor, he was so useless, how could anyone bear it?He knelt on the ground, raised his head and murmured: "Father, father, if you are alive in heaven, please help a group of ministers and tell them what to do!"

Wei Lun supported him with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, the days are still long, and there will be opportunities in the future."
