Chapter 20 Kite
(25)
The fifth elder brother's death shook the entire Forbidden City. Even the emperor who was far away in Rehe was sad and fell ill after hearing about it.
There were even more rumors in the harem, and even more rumors pointed out that it was Concubine Chen's injustice demanding her life that made the fifth elder brother die in vain.Xue Xing even dropped the lantern because she was afraid of traveling in the middle of the night, and Mu Duer who was accompanying her was also plunged into darkness.
"Go to the nearby palace to borrow lanterns. If someone passes by, I will go first."
After Xue Xing left quickly, Mu Duer saw a figure approaching from a distance, it was actually Tong Jihai.Mu Du'er followed, using Tong Jihai's lantern to watch over the road ahead.
"It's rare, you are not afraid of walking alone at night."
Tong Jihai didn't respond, and Mu Duer didn't care.
"That's right, how do you understand the topic of Concubine Chen in the palace?" Tong Jihai was crazy and stupid, and ignored him except for math skills. After being pestered by him many times before, Mu Duer already understood him. Xinxing, but feel at ease talking to Tong Jihai. "When I was alone just now, I also felt flustered for a moment. Maybe everyone is the same. Belief in this rumor is not out of superstition. It's just that Brother Wu left too suddenly. For unacceptable things, sometimes people would rather believe in an absurd The words will make the heart feel at ease.”
"I have calculated that the fifth elder brother's fate is that the stars support the moon, the sun and water are counted, the wood and the moon are in the Hai, and the fire, earth, purple, and stars are in the ugly, and they are surrounded by arches." Tong Jihai opened his mouth and pointed his fingers Move lightly again.
"I almost don't remember that you understand astrology. You used to watch stars and divination in the gate tower." It was also because of the sound of his flute in the gate tower that Mu Duer and Tong Jihai got acquainted.
"Obviously it is the most precious life, how could it suddenly pass away at a young age, could it be that I miscalculated again?"
Seeing that Tong Jihai lowered his head and buried his head in making plans again, Mu Duer looked up at the sky. "If the stars are supposed to be the rulers of people's fate, if a well-behaved and lovely child dies early, I believe they are also dull now."
For the past few days, Ruyue has been feeling dazed, unable to eat or swallow, unable to sleep at night, and only mutters Mianyu's name, although Erhe and Qianrui are worried, there is nothing they can do.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Chun invites you to fly a kite together."
Seeing Youxiang's report, Erhe felt uneasy for a while.After Fifth Elder Brother passed away these days, there were constant rumors in the palace, besides Concubine Chun, who would bother spreading rumors so much?Er He wanted to refuse on behalf of Concubine Ru, but what Concubine Ru said the day before yesterday made her jealous, so she told Concubine Ru the truth.
Sure enough, Ruyue's dim eyes suddenly lit up, although it was full of bitterness. "Since Wanxiu sincerely invites you, how can I not go?"
Hearing about Mianyu, Wanxiu's heart sank.Although I only met my nephew a few times when he was born, but he is the son of Ruyue and also my relative. After all, it is the loss of a life, so why not make people feel sad?
There is another matter that makes Wanxiu more concerned, that is, the rumor that Concubine Chen is demanding her life has been widely spread in the palace recently.No matter how many rumors she fabricated in the past, she would never make fun of the old man's story, let alone use it to sprinkle salt on her sister's painful wound?That's why after she reported it to Concubine Shugui, she ordered Youxiang to invite Ruyue to come out, and she couldn't wait to clarify.
"I made an appointment suddenly, didn't I disturb my sister's rest?"
"How could it be? In fact, it might be a good thing to come out and walk around."
Ruyue, who was sitting next to Wanxiu, looked up at the sky, Youxiang flew the kite into the sky not long after, but Qianrui's kite couldn't fly no matter how hard she tried.Wanxiu looked at Ruyue, with some true feelings in her eyes.
"The matter of Mian Yu, Wan Xiu also felt very uncomfortable. Sister, you must be even more sad as Er Niang. It is not difficult for the two sisters to release paper kites. Do you still remember, when I was young, my sister always let me Fly the kite, and you fly the paper kite yourself." Speaking of her childhood, Wanxiu couldn't help but smile, this kind of docile look hadn't appeared in front of Ruyue for a long time.
"I just prefer paper kites that fly quietly. It feels like God is leading a person to fly in the sky." Ruyue seems to have regained the indifference of her youth.
"That's right, I used to really like kites that make noise with the wind, I think it's very lively and fun, but now I hate noise like my sister, and like to live in peace and quiet. It's like a person who speaks a lot and finally understands Silence is golden." Wanxiu's words are a sign of weakness and an admission of mistake, she does not want to worry her sister anymore, she is willing to be a kite and put away those outdated old grievances.
I thought that my sister would look at her happily, but Ruyue's eyes were still looking forward.
Wan Xiu panicked, and blurted out: "Sister, in fact, the matter about Concubine Chen..."
"──Why can't you put it on!" Ruyue stood up abruptly, left the corridor and walked to the open space.
Qianrui hurriedly said: "This slave is stupid, please forgive me."
Ruyue took the kite, pulled up the string and said, "This kite has been repaired, and the materials on both sides are different, so of course it's hard to let it fly."
"Damn the servant, it must be the servant who hastily borrowed paper kites from other palaces and failed to check clearly." Youxiang also admitted her fault.
"Slaves immediately change to one..."
"No need, even if it's hard to let go, you can still let it go." Ruyue threw the paper kite into the air, pulled the thread quickly, and the paper kite was lifted up slowly by the wind, and it was already flying in the air after a while.
"Your Majesty, it's a success!" Qianrui clapped her hands and applauded, and Ruyue also showed a gratified smile.After a while, the kite slowly fell to the ground.
Everyone's disappointment was palpable, and the heartbreak in Wanxiu's eyes turned into a sneer, and she left without saying a word.
As soon as Ruyue came back to her senses, she didn't see Wanxiu, and when she returned to Shoukang Palace, she heard Erhe say, "The Empress Chun is simply trying to find trouble for her."
"In the past, Wanxiu spread rumors to smear me, and whether I tried my best to persuade her or warned me face to face, Wanxiu always pretended to be stupid. But this time I didn't say anything at all, but Wanxiu wanted to meet and clarify, if it was really her Don’t you want to cover up what you did?” Only this time, she really couldn’t care about Wan Xiu’s mood anymore.
Ruyue still remembers that when Concubine Chen was seriously ill, she went to visit based on harem ethics. Concubine Chen, who had always been at odds with her, smiled when she saw her.
"Sister came to see me?" Concubine Chen looked at her, smiling unabated, and said with difficulty, "Sister, sister hates you very much."
She knew that Concubine Chen, who had been fighting for favor for many years, would not show a good face, but she smiled like this, but said words full of hatred, she only thought that Concubine Chen was sick and confused.
Concubine Chen seemed to see through what she was thinking, and looked straight at her with a pair of eyes. "I'm talking about your own sister, Concubine Chun. I told her the way to hurt you. She is very smart, but also very stupid." Suddenly Concubine Chen coughed anxiously, but she coughed and laughed at the same time. "Lies can hurt people, but you hurt yourself the most."
"Even if you hate me for taking away your favor, is it necessary to do this?" Ruyue looked at Concubine Chen's sick face, and didn't understand that such a beautiful woman would spread rumors everywhere.They were also trapped in the red wall, Ruyue had nothing more than Concubine Chen except loneliness.
"Injury one thousand enemies, eight hundred self-injury, my sister has always known my methods? So I would rather take poison and injure my body, just for a moment, but also to win the favor of the Holy One." Concubine Chen seemed to be talking about the weather today, not at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. "But I didn't teach this kind of thing. I just told Concubine Chun that lies are as beautiful as flowers sprinkled with gold leaf. She will soon indulge in a fictional world in order to vent her temporary pleasure, and continue to fight with you sister instead of me." .”
Ruyue looks at the dying person on the sickbed with pity. "What's the point of hurting a poor man like you?"
Concubine Chen didn't answer, she just closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Later, when the rumor that she forced Concubine Chen to death spread throughout the harem, she knew that she had lost Wanxiu's last trace of trust, and this was the biggest lie that Concubine Chen had uttered.
Thinking of Concubine Chen to this day, Ruyue still feels uneasy.
"I didn't mean to be indifferent to Wanxiu, but just now I looked at Qianrui and saw that her kite could not be let go. I wondered in my heart, why is God so cruel and wants me to have troubles? Can’t even let a kite fly? I used to think that as long as I have patience, pay attention to the wind, and release the line when the wind is the strongest, even if the sky doesn’t help me and the wind doesn’t continue, I can release the line as soon as possible, but God wants It falls and falls—" No matter how much she does, others can influence Wanxiu with a simple word, no matter how hard she tries, Wanxiu will always be that uncontrolled kite, trying to fly away from her control.
She was tired of the occasional stop of the kite when there was no wind. It was just charity and sympathy, but it had already made her lose Xiaogege and Mianyu.
Wanxiu, even if you and I are related by blood, your reckless behavior can no longer be tolerated without limit.
At this time, Xiang Ling had already returned to the palace.
