Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Concubine Rong's eyes were hot, she shed tears, choked up and said: Your Majesty, punish Shenbi.The emperor was afraid of her, and said with a smile: You did nothing wrong, why should I punish you?Concubine Rong burst into tears, and soon wet the emperor's clothes.The emperor kept stroking her back, coaxing: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay... After she stopped her tears, he separated her, looked at her with a smile and said," Let's go back, tomorrow is your birthday, I will accompany you Pass.Concubine Rong nodded and said: Thank you, Your Majesty.Seeing her crying with reddish eyes and rainy pear blossoms, the emperor moved in his heart and kissed her lips.Concubine Rong smiled slightly.

Concubine Rong got up and went to the table to wash her face. Looking at the clear water and towels, and the light and elegant basin, she felt a fresh warmth in her heart. The water was a little cold, and she understood that Fu Heng was waiting for her to eat good cheese. She just washed her face, but she felt very comfortable.

When the emperor and concubine Rong came out, they saw Caiyun holding a small box wrapped in red paper.Caiyun said: This is Mrs. Nalan's birthday gift to the empress. Mr. Fu Heng just gave it to the slaves. He said that Mrs. Nalan wanted Concubine Rong to see it for herself.Concubine Rong was a little strange, before she could speak, the emperor smiled and said: "What good things are you not allowed to see?"Said, picked up the bag, put it in Concubine Rong's hand, and said: I don't want to read it!Said to go ahead.

Fu Heng talked with Doro and Li Yu in the main hall, and shared some love. At this time, Doro knew that Yingluo was pregnant and that Concubine Rong was here to see her, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions. She thought that she would call Rongrong when she returned. .When Fu Heng saw the three people coming out, he stood up and sent them out.When Concubine Rong saw Fu Heng turned around to stand side by side with the emperor, she intentionally or unintentionally looked at the gift bag in her hand, and suddenly realized that it was given to her by Fu Heng, and her heart was pounding immediately.She didn't listen to a word of what the emperor and Fu Heng said earlier.When he got to the sedan chair, Fu Heng also said to her: Yujing Garden congratulates Concubine Rong on her birthday.Concubine Rong hurriedly said: Thank you, my lord!and Mrs. presents.Then he took the box and went to the sedan chair.

Concubine Rong had dinner after returning to the Longxi Palace, and had a sound sleep. When she got up, it was almost Haishi, and she didn't feel hungry. She closed the door of the dormitory and told Caiyun not to let anyone disturb her. Inside is a small dark blue velvet box, rectangular in shape, with sporadically inlaid crystal stars on the velvet, shining brightly under the lamps and candles, looking exquisite and precious.

She opened the box. The inner lining of the box was also dark blue, and there was a small bunch of dried purple spirit herbs. She was very pleasantly surprised. She knew that they picked it from Huijiang, and Fu Heng must now know the meaning of this flower. .There is also a folded rice paper under the flower.She opened this piece of rice paper and saw a line of handwritten palindrome on it. She didn't feel strange, but tears welled up in her eyelashes instantly!

The palindrome is "thousands of mountains and trails, walking with you", this... This is what I carved on the stone outside the cave when I often went back to that cave and recalled the encounter with "him"!The cave by the Sailimu Lake!Guard Fu Heng by himself, the cave for three days and nights!This time he must have gone to the cave specifically, so he saw the line of characters he carved. At that time, she carved a little bit at a time for a month... She smiled and shed tears, "Thousands of mountains and paths, and You walk together", this is exactly what she said to Fu Heng in front of Allah, and it is what she silently said to Fu Heng every time she put her right hand on her heart. In fact, it has already been realized!She was always with him, though not as an intimate lover.

She carefully identified that it was indeed Fu Heng's handwriting, and thought of Fu Heng's untraceable, natural, open and considerate gentleness in the afternoon. She couldn't sleep at night because of him, and he knew his heart for her.Thinking about it again, I just feel like a spring breeze...Suddenly, she fully understood the smile Fu Heng said to her today, and the words he said to him:

Now that's fine.

Sorry, I didn't know originally.

thank you!

This is very good now, referring to myself, "he" and the emperor are very good now. "He" should have known that he fell in love with the emperor...it must have been told to him that night in Yangzhou...

I'm sorry to mean that "he" didn't know her heart for him all the time.Rather than not being able to repay her.

Thank you, thank you for walking with "him" all the time!It is gratitude and thanks, it is joy to cherish and willingness to walk with him, so he wrote the phrase "Thousands of mountains and trails, walk with you" in return for her.

It turned out that "he" had known it for several years, but she had never known it because "he" would not let her know.

Concubine Rong laughed, he was the same as himself, he didn't let the other party know, because she and he were indeed quite similar in character, they were affectionate and restrained people.

Concubine Rong got up, went to the large rosewood cabinet inlaid with steatite and mother-of-pearl on the side, and took out the yellowed white Tibetan robe. The glittering gemstones on it were exactly the same shape as this bright crystal, and she knew that he understood.This Tibetan robe was not burned by Caiyun. After Aisha came, she took it out to Concubine Rong, saying that she wanted Concubine Rong to keep a little memory of that "him".Concubine Rong laughed again: In fact, her heart is still there if there is this dress, but she is glad that the white dress is still there.

Fu Heng didn't know that the day after she rescued him, she wore this white dress and kissed him in the cave who was injured and unconscious. At that time, she thought it was their only real encounter. Before the kiss, she had told Allah It's just a pity that what she offered was not her first kiss.The three nights when he was in a coma were the nights of the full moon. She still clearly remembered that she prayed to Allah to the moon: he must recover... When she asked Caiyun to burn the white robe, she knew that she had fallen She broke the emperor's heart, and she didn't love the emperor, so she felt sorry for the emperor... But time has passed, "it's fine now"...

She looked at the bunch of purple-blue flowers in the shape of ears of wheat. Before, she felt that the ears were soaked with the sadness of love, but now, the bright purple color faded after drying, and she felt that it was so warm, firm and tender. brave!Fu Heng said that he himself will be fine, so he should be fine...

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Caiyun's voice said: Your Majesty, the emperor is here.Then the emperor's voice said: Can I come in?She immediately wrapped the piece of rice paper into her robe and stuffed it into the cabinet door, then went to open the door and welcomed the emperor in.The emperor saw the small blue box on the bed and the purple flower string beside it at a glance.So he laughed, sat on the edge of the bed, picked it up and looked at it, and said: This is what she gave you?Concubine Rong nodded and asked: Is it good-looking?This is a flower that grows in Huijiang, called Spirit Vanilla.

The emperor nodded, and said: "It looks good, and the name is nice. This box was presented by the Guangzhou Thirteenth Bank."Concubine Rong was surprised and said: How do you know?The emperor said: When the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought it during the Chinese New Year, I still have the impression that Fu Heng picked it.Concubine Rong nodded.Cover the box and put it away in the small red sandalwood dragon and phoenix cabinet on the other side. She understood that Fu Heng actually picked it for her, and then looked for an opportunity to give it to herself.

She just closed the drawer, and before she could turn around, she was embraced by the emperor from behind.She laughed, took the emperor's hand holding her with both hands, and let the emperor kiss her on the neck.The emperor kissed for a while, and said: Shen Bi, I really can't believe it, you are 30 years old!Concubine Rong looked back and smiled: Your Majesty, Shen Bi is getting old.The emperor laughed: Don't talk nonsense!You will always be my child!After a pause, he continued, "Where is the gift I gave you?"I want to see you wear it now!

Concubine Rong laughed again, and said: Your Majesty!My birthday is tomorrow.As he spoke, he opened a drawer below, and took out a ball of milky white silk.It's a sheer cutout pajamas!It was so soft and thin that she blushed when she received it. Fortunately, it was put in a box. The outside of the box was full of foreign characters. Li Yu said it was British.

From time to time, the emperor would find a personal belonging of the two of them, saying that it was for her, but in fact it was all his own love.At that time, Li Yu said that the concubine Ling wanted to see the picture with the emperor, so she was not worried, because the relationship between her and the emperor was all the emperor's will.She turned around, and the emperor looked into her eyes, and she also looked into the emperor's eyes, with their eyes facing each other, as if she had said a thousand words, and they were more than a thousand words.

She changed into her pajamas with great difficulty... The emperor's heart trembled, and he pressed her down on the bed. Concubine Rong felt itchy and couldn't bear his passion, so she closed her eyes...

She knew that the emperor let go of his anxiety today because he saw Yingluo, and he read Yingluo's letter to him, and he didn't know what he wrote...Suddenly thought: If, she and Yingluo should exchange.But I immediately felt that I couldn't bear the emperor, how kind he was to me!She didn't want to give him up to Wei Yingluo!She doesn't care if he goes with someone else... It turns out that she is not jealous of Mrs. Nalan at all, but not because of Fu Heng, but because of the emperor, because the emperor is hers and will always be hers...

Time flies, and she and the emperor have been together for five years. The life of husband and wife is irreplaceable. His mellow warmth can only be hers, and his moodiness and suspiciousness are also hers. He is hers. I am used to the intimacy of Yingluo, complete intimacy... And at that time, it was I who saw through the emperor's thoughts towards Yingluo, and only then did I really enter the emperor's heart...

The pair of large rosewood cabinets inlaid with steatite and mother of silver in the bedroom are the former residences of the emperor and the first empress in the Chonghua Palace. After Rong Yin passed away, the emperor moved to the Longxi Pavilion, and there is still Rong Yin in the cabinets. The belongings left in the Chonghua Palace at that time include purses, hand towels, tapestry, sachets, bamboo baskets, embroidered satin, bracelets, embroidered pillows, headbands of various colors of flags, azurite double-sided penetrating multicolored clouds and water, and four groups of golden dragons. Buzi, etc., the emperor will never tell her, this is what Li Yu said...

Thinking of this, she hugged the emperor coquettishly.The emperor was overjoyed, and pressed her tightly in his arms, and she laughed in her heart: The emperor is just a child...

At the same time, Yingluo leaned into Fu Heng's arms and said in a low voice: Don't worry, I'm fine.Fu Heng told her that the emperor and Concubine Rong came to see her in the afternoon, and then said: Don't think about it, it's not surprising that Concubine Rong is nervous, why are you nervous?The emperor will never do anything to me, you know better than me, now that you are like this, he will never do anything to me.Yingluo forced a smile, and said, "Going back to Xinjiang is such a big matter, why did you tell me that it was the emperor's will?"Fu Hengdao: I have done everything, so telling you makes you worry in vain?I'll be fine anyway.Yingluo turned her head away and said in a low voice: What did you lie to the emperor today?Fu Hengdao: There is no false statement.

Yingluo laughed and said: I see, you deliberately went to call the emperor, as soon as you send him a message, he will definitely come.Fu Hengdao: "You really have abdominal pain and drowsiness. Doctor Ye said that you must not be stimulated again. Our Chang'an must be fine."Yingluo said: You said Lingfei Xiaoyue frightened him?

Fu Heng smiled and said: Well, Desheng told me.And the incident with Concubine Xin last year.Moreover, when he was pregnant with Long'er, he was in the Yujing Garden of Zhengjue Temple twice, and when he was pregnant with Jiang Jiang, he encountered bandits in Yangzhou. How could he forget that it was all because of him, and it became his heart disease.The matter of returning to Xinjiang will not be settled so easily, so I will shock him first today, and he will try to solve it, so I am not worried.In any case, he won't kill me, it's better to let me out of the temple, and we can live happily!

Yingluo laughed, touched his face with her backhand, and said, "Master, you are so bad!"If you design someone, it's much worse than me, so don't use it as a fake.Fu Heng also laughed, kissed her on the cheek, and said: This is actually the credit that Concubine Rong made unintentionally. It doesn't matter if the emperor comes or not, as long as he knows.I gave the box and the flower to Concubine Rong, saying it was your birthday gift to her.Yingluo nodded and said: She will definitely like it.

The next day, when Aisha stood in front of her, Concubine Rong still couldn't believe that she was about to give birth, as if she felt that her past as a saint and virgin was a dream.She saw that Aisha was wearing a newly made green dress, made of cotton instead of satin, with her hair pulled back, like a noble lady who had washed her lead. Although she had been pregnant for eight months, she was tall and looked like her waist There was a ball tied between them, and she didn't appear to be inconvenient, and hugged her excitedly, congratulating her greatly, as if Aisha's child was her own!

Aisha said that the chieftain's family was also very happy. When she left Jinchuan, Grandma didn't cry. She said that Aisha was really happy. Apa gave a gold mine as a dowry, saying that Langka would still manage it. Dawa took the land deed and only collected money every year.Concubine Rong laughed and said: I just thought that your dowry must be a gold mine!If you are willing to marry someone, your family will be crazy about joy!It doesn't matter even the poor boy!

Aisha made a gesture to tear her mouth off, and said with a smile: I'm saying the same thing as an upside-down post, Langka won't let you go!But he thought in his heart that he didn't know that Pudawa was "secretly" saving gold before, but he really thought about it. Anyway, he has everything, so he doesn't care, as long as he takes people with him.

The two quarreled for a while, and Aisha said that Imputawa wanted to be a girl.Erxi's mother also said that she thought she was pregnant with a girl, and that it seemed that Erhui's mother liked her as a daughter-in-law.Concubine Rong put her left hand on her chest for a while, and then said solemnly: Allah has heard our heartfelt voice!But you can't go to 'Hamam' to take a bath now, if something happens to you if you slip and fall, Langka will have to kill me, otherwise we will go to Yuanmingyuan today.Elsa laughed.

And the birthday gift of Concubine Rong that Aisha saw was another gold-encrusted bead-embedded stone hat flower on her little hat.Strands of slender gold branched out from the central column, topped by a pink tourmaline, similar to the jeweled plumes that rose in clusters on the turbans of Islamic kings.The emeralds and beads inlaid on the central column of the bonnet are all in Mughal style.On the top is engraved in Arabic "in/enthusiasm/they stay", which means "eternal love".Concubine Rong laughed and said that this was a fine product of the Mughal Empire brought back by the Kokand merchants after the emperor opened Kashgar to trade with Central Asia. .

Concubine Rong got up late and didn't have breakfast. Because today was her birthday, even the queen's court meeting was skipped. The two girlfriends closed the door and ate Central Asian-style puff pastry and fresh melons made in the kitchen. As a result, he whispered (yong2) for a long time.The small kitchen of Huibu is located in a long row of royal kitchen dining rooms opposite the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which is very convenient.

The author has something to say:

【Furniture of the Ming Dynasty】Huanghuali wood and beech wood were mostly used, with bright and elegant colors. In the Qing Dynasty, red sandalwood and rosewood wood were mostly used, with thick colors.

[Zhu Ben's Lady Paintings] Zhu Ben was in the Qianjia Dynasty when the paintings of ladies were "a majestic and independent branch of painting". Like other professional painters of ladies such as Yu Ji, he was very concerned about the paintings of ladies that promoted religion and feudal ethics and moral concepts. He is not interested in themes that reflect the leisure life of noble women. What he paints is the image of beauties in the wind, flowers, snow and moon, or the little sentiments in the boudoir of young women.

[Yingluo Knot] is a traditional Chinese knot. Yingluo was originally a multi-layered decorative item that used silk threads to weave beads and stones. The image of Yingluo was used on statues or other utensils as decorative patterns, called "yingluo pattern".
