Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Fukang'an was walking over, saw Fu Heng, and shouted happily: "Ama!"How did you come?As he spoke, he walked up quickly and leaned against Fu Heng, who then happily patted his head.Cai Yanlin also hurriedly saluted Fu Heng.Fu Hengdao: General Cai, Fu Kang'an is obedient, right?Hope it didn't bother you too much.Cai Yanlin said: Master Fukang'an is very obedient, hard-working in practice, unyielding and not afraid of falling at a young age, the new pony has been tamed so quickly!It's really a tiger father but no dog son.Concubine Rong looked at Fu Kang'an very happily from the side, Fu Heng smiled and said: "General Cai has won the prize, he is young, the general needs to be more patient."Cai Yanlin hurriedly said: Yes, I would like to follow your lord's instructions.

After Cai Yanlin left, Fu Kang'an asked Fu Heng to stay with him for a while, so Fu Heng sat on a stool.Caiyun took someone to wipe Fukang'an's hands and face, and then Fukang'an leaned in Concubine Rong's arms. Concubine Rong brought him snacks, and he kept laughing.Fu Heng looked at the two from the side, filled with emotion in his heart, thinking that he was forced to enter the palace at a young age, and he never expected to have such an adventure and happiness.

Vaguely on the corridor in the palace, Fukang'an was still saying: I want my mother, but she is not my mother!Concubine Rong's heart for Fu Kang'an, he now fully understands, she is because of him, so she will never lose to Fu Kang'an's biological mother, and she and his biological mother are very different... Just thinking about it , I only heard Fu Kangan said: "Ama, my aunt hasn't come to see me for a long time, and the queen mother said that she is going to give birth to a little sister soon."

Fu Heng smiled and said: Do you like younger brother or younger sister?Fukang'an had never played with girls before, so he said, "Brother."Fu Hengdao: What if it's a younger sister?Fu Kang'an was taken aback, and said: Will she be as good-looking as Huang Erniang?Both Fu Heng and Concubine Rong laughed, and Concubine Rong said: An'er's younger sister must be prettier than Huang Erniang!Fukang'an said: "Then I like it."I also eat snacks by myself.Concubine Rong said to Fu Heng: I heard from my wife that she thought it was a daughter, and said that the child would definitely look like Lord Fu Heng.Fu Heng still looked at Fu Kang'an, smiled, and said, "I hope."Then he said to Concubine Rong: Thank you for teaching An'er so well.Concubine Rong smiled slightly.

After Fu Heng went back, he told Yingluo that Fu Kang'an wanted to see her, and said that Concubine Rong was watching Fu Kang'an's riding and shooting every day, so Yingluo wanted to go too. Fu Heng went to ask the emperor, and the emperor naturally agreed, and the concubine also agreed. Wanted to go, so the three women gathered at this time every day to chat and laugh for a while.Seeing that his favorite aunt and Aunt Wei also came to see him, Fukang'an performed better.

When I arrived at the grassland, I lived in a tall and spacious yurt, which was divided into an inner tent bedroom and study room, and an outer tent living room and dining room.Because it was cold at night, several braziers were set up in the inner and outer tents, and the sleeping beds were covered with leopard and wolf skins.Yingluo likes the rough prairie wind very much.

On this day, there was no banquet in the evening, and soon after the meal, Yingluo brought out her pipa, and Fu Heng was sitting on the outer tent reading a book, listening to her play "Hai Qing Na Swan", unconsciously smiled.Yingluo has been learning the pipa since she was confinement last year. Although Lu Wenhong went with her during the southern tour, she didn't touch it because she was not feeling well.After returning from the southern tour, I picked it up again in the past few months.This piece uses relatively difficult winding strings to express the sound of swans singing, and uses advanced techniques such as spelling and strumming in many places to perform the fierce scene of the fight between Hai Dongqing and the swan, which is very energy-consuming.Every time, Fu Heng only asked her to play the pipa once, and then took the pipa away.This evening was no exception.

But the two of them didn't know that there were two people standing outside their yurt, listening quietly.These two are the emperor and concubine Rong.Because Concubine Rong wanted to take the two of them for a walk along the way, but when she walked outside the tent, she heard the sound of the pipa inside, so she stopped in her tracks and signaled the guards outside to keep silent.Concubine Rong told the emperor the name of the piece, and because Yingluo also gave her the score, the emperor told her to listen to it for a while.It was the first time for the emperor to listen to this song, and he liked the murderous spirit hidden in it very much, so he listened to it all the way to the end, said not to disturb them, and left quietly.Concubine Rong held his arm, and both of them were wearing cloaks, walking in the night.Doro and other guards followed far behind.

After walking for a while, Concubine Rong asked: Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?What does Madam Nalan's song remind you of?The emperor said: In recent years, the imperial court has been killing a lot, flattening the northern border, trapped white lotus, literary prison, and many dead.Shen Bi, do you also think that I killed too much?Concubine Rong said: Your Majesty, Shen Bi doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but Shen Bi knows that you are a powerful person. Do you still remember, Shen Bi said that you should ask your heart, do you think you are doing the right thing? , do the right thing, if you think you are doing the wrong thing, then do it wrong.

The emperor was silent, Concubine Rong said again: During the southern tour, Shen Bi saw so many Han officials, they admired and feared you, the emperor, they are also your subjects, you should protect them.The emperor said: Well, you are right.Concubine Rong said again: Your Majesty, you are kind to us when we return to the Ministry, and you can also be kind to them.

Seeing the naivety of what she said, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and said: "Go and see Wei Mei."Walking outside Wei Mei's tent, Concubine Rong said, "Your Majesty, Shen Bi won't go in. Shen Bi will go back and get ready to wait for you."The emperor nodded, called a few guards to come up, and sent Concubine Rong back.He entered Wei Mei's tent by himself.Wei Mei was sitting on the couch reading a book, with a fur blanket wrapped around her waist. Seeing him coming, she was about to get up from the couch. He waved his hand and said, "Sit down."Said and sat on the side of the bed.He saw that she was holding the "Book of Songs" in her hand, so he smiled and said: You like reading poetry so much.Wei Mei said shyly: Yes.The emperor saw that the page she was reading was "Ge Sheng":

Ge Shengmengchu grows in the wild.Yumei dies here, who will be with her?alone!

Ge Shengmeng thorns, vines in the field.Yumei dies here, who will be with her?Solo!

The corner pillow is bright, and the brocade quilt is rotten.Yumei dies here, who will be with her?Dudan!

Summer day, winter night.After a hundred years old, belong to it!

Winter night, summer day.After one hundred years old, belong to his room!

Suddenly, all kinds of feelings arose in my heart.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Wei Mei understood his thoughts very well, so she put the book away, approached him in his arms, closed her eyes, and said softly: Your Majesty, Wei Mei will always be with the Emperor.Then read softly:

Summer day, winter night.After a hundred years old, belong to it!

Winter night, summer day.After one hundred years old, belong to his room!

The emperor smiled, stretched out his hands, hugged her in his arms, and said: Good!Wei Mei pulled his hands to her stomach, there was a violent fetal movement inside, the emperor cheered up and said: This is my son!What strength!Wei Mei looked at the emperor happily, and said: He has been moving a lot recently, and my concubines are often kicked awake at night!He thought he was so excited when he came to Liaoyuan, the arched horse!The emperor touched it, and said: Well, he is my son, of course, you have worked hard.As he spoke, he kissed her on the cheek, then stood up, tucked her fur, and said: Rest early.Wei Mei said: Thank you, Your Majesty, please go.Arriving in Horqin, this was the first time the emperor visited her. That night, the two sentences "summer day, winter night" were always in her mind...

When the emperor returned to his yurt, Concubine Rong was already lying on the couch waiting for him.After Li Yu changed his clothes and lay down on the bed, Concubine Rong leaned on him and he hugged her.The two stayed for a while, and the emperor said, "Baljur will come to see you tomorrow. You can talk to him and see what he needs."Concubine Rong said: "Okay, the emperor can rest assured."The emperor said: In the past few days, I and Fu Heng have been discussing affairs with him, and I think he seems to have something on his mind.Concubine Rong thought of his maid U Rina, she knew it, and said: Chen Bi, ask him.The emperor said: I haven't seen you for a year, he has become more mature, and he is a fearsome young man.After the Horqin riding and archery competition, we will go back. Do you want to go back?

Concubine Rong knew that the emperor meant that the conditions in the land outside the Great Wall were tough after all, so she smiled and said: Your majesty, here is free and easy, and you have to set rules when you go back. If the concubine and the emperor can stay here forever, that would be great!The emperor smiled and said: This is your brother's place. If I want to stay here, I'm afraid he won't.Concubine Rong sighed and said: The grassland is beautiful, I like it very much!The emperor said: This is yours too.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Thank you, Your Majesty!Before the words were finished, the emperor had already untied her clothes, but she pressed the emperor's hand and said, "Aren't you with someone...

She knew that after coming out of the capital, he had made out with Empress Concubine Shu and Qi Muge, because seeing the three people's faces were radiant, he was free again.Since arriving in Horqin, she had her period and still hasn't gone to bed. Although he would come to talk to her when he was free, he definitely missed her. In this rough place, both of them felt very fresh... She frowns and smiles, wants to welcome but refuses, panting and sweating profusely, such a painful scene, naturally makes the emperor feel happy after a long time.After the end, she chuckled lightly and asked the emperor: Are we going to stay here instead of going back?The emperor hummed heavily.When she laughed again, she knew that the emperor would always be hers...

The next morning, Sebuten Baljur came. Concubine Rong only saw him at the banquet for the first two days. Except for the pony for Fukan'an, he taught people to come with rich gifts early in the morning. Dedicated to Concubine Rong, there is a small box in it, which is full of jewelry made and sold by Mongolian girls in the market. It is not expensive at all, but Concubine Rong likes it the most. She wears it when she is not seeing people. It must have been arranged by Uzhina.

Caiyun saw Baljur for the second time, and saw that he was wearing a satin black robe with dark pattern today, no belt on his head, and a colorful belt with exquisite embroidery around his waist, which was indescribably luxurious and distinguished.She suddenly remembered that when they met last year, it seemed that his maid had a similar belt around her waist. It seemed that she must have embroidered this belt for him. More goodwill.

After the two chatted for a while, Concubine Rong asked Caiyun and the two Hui maids to leave.Ask again: Why didn't you see your maid last time?I still remember her.Baljur smiled and said: She has a child, I told her to rest.Concubine Rong was very surprised, this must be Baljur's child, but last year Han Guli said that the two of them could not have a child because the child would suffer bad luck...

Just as he was thinking, he heard Baljur say, "Sister, that's my child."Concubine Rong nodded and waited for him to continue.Baljur said: I have many wives, but in my heart, I only regard her as my wife.Concubine Rong nodded, and said: But her identity... Baljur said: "It doesn't matter."Concubine Rong smiled, she really saw Baljur right, he was the same person as her.

Baljur continued: Sister, let me tell you a story.A five-year-old boy, he has two older brothers and a capable father, but he has no mother. His mother died when he was two years old. The two brothers don't live together.One day, a girl came. She was three years older than him. She was bought by his father to serve him and play with him.The girl was an abandoned baby, and she never met her parents.

Concubine Rong felt very sad in her heart, she didn't expect Uzhina to have such a tragic life experience.Baljur continued: She was a very cruel little girl, and she often beat and scolded the little boy when others could not see her.Concubine Rong was taken aback. "But this little boy, because he has no mother and is far away from his relatives, he has always regarded this little girl as his closest person. He is willing for her to beat him and scold him, but don't ignore him." After hearing this, Rong The concubine was very moved.

Baljur is still saying: After two years like this, this boy is seven years old, he is strong and powerful, and he has never lost a fight with the boys in the clan, but at home, he would rather be beaten by this little girl , Never fight back.One day, the little girl tricked him into the river and tricked him into the water. The boy couldn't swim, and when he was startled and struggling, the little girl also walked into the water and said, "You are mine, and I'm going to die, so you too to stay with me. ’ Saying that, she sank into the water by herself...Concubine Rong was terrified when she heard this, and hurriedly said: Then what happened afterwards?Baljur said: This boy was also gradually drowning. Suddenly, this little girl surfaced. It turned out that she could swim, and she pulled the boy out of the water with all her strength... When the boy woke up, he found that the little girl was holding water. he.

The boy remembered everything and said: Thank you.The little girl said: "I want to kill you, you still thank me?" ! The boy said: "I don't know, I just know that I want to be with you, if you die, I won't live, so that's fine." 'The little girl burst into tears and held the boy tightly in her arms.She cried for a long time before she stopped, and the boy said: 'You don't feel bad, do you? ’ The little girl said: ‘How do you know that I feel uncomfortable? ’ said the boy, ‘You always beat and scold me because your former master treated you badly, didn’t you? The little girl said: "I didn't have a master before, that person raised me, but he sold me for the sake of selling me, so when he was at home, he treated me very badly." Concubine Rong sighed.

Baljur said: So the boy said: "Don't worry, I am your master, but I will never beat you and scold you, if you beat me and scold me, it will make you forget the pain, I am willing, I will never Will tell father, brother and others. ’ The little girl said: ‘Why do you treat me so well? ' The boy said: 'Because you are the closest person to me. The little girl said: "If you think so, you will be killed by me sooner or later!" The boy laughed and said, "You obviously didn't kill me just now." The little girl said: "I will still beat you and scold you, sooner or later you will still be killed by me." The boy said: "You always beat me and scold me, but you wake up at night and look at me crying." The little girl was shocked. She had slept in the same room with this boy for two years, but she never knew about her crying at night, but this boy knew about it.

Concubine Rong smiled slightly and asked: Is she your maid?Baljur also smiled and said: Yes.From that day on, she never beat or scolded me again.I grew up, and I finally understood that I liked her, so at the age of 15, I said I wanted her to be my woman, she was very angry, struggled desperately, said she was a slave, and I was just playing with her.I let go of her, looked at her, and didn't speak.After a while, she began to untie her clothes, closed her eyes and said: "No matter how you treat me, I will always be yours, I am willing." 'It was a beautiful summer night in the prairie, with the sky and the ground sitting on the ground, just under the shadowy mountains, she became my wife, and the sky and the earth are our witnesses.

Concubine Rong was very shocked when she heard it, and there were tears in her eyes.Baljur continued: That night, I said to her later: 'I know you are mine, you are gone, you still don't leave me, aren't you just waiting for this day? ' She hit me again.Talking, laughing.Concubine Rong also laughed, full of infinite emotion.Baljur continued: "I can't get along with her justifiably. Whoever I marry is the same to me, so I became the leader of the Zhelimu League and married nine wives, but in fact she is my wife." , I have been hers for a long time, when I was five years old.
