Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Gao Yun also knew about Ibor from Concubine Rong, and now seeing her charming, vigorous and graceful, with high spirits, she praised in her heart: What a beautiful baby!Seeing Yongqi's handsome appearance, leisurely demeanor, and the contrasting styles of the two, I found it interesting, so I pursed my lips and smiled, and asked her in a low voice: "Does fifth elder brother like you very much?"Yi Boer nodded and said: "Mother and Concubine Rong told me about my uncle and aunt. Isn't it interesting to watch a person grow up and then become your husband again?"Seeing that she didn't have the reserve and scruples of a junior, Gao Yun smiled and said: "It's very interesting!"

Ybor envied her for giving birth to twins, so she laughed again: Maybe you will be the next one!Ibor asked her what is the secret of having twins.Gao Yun thought for a while, and whispered a few words in her ear.Ibor was very surprised and said: Really?Is it really possible?Gao Yun laughed and said, "You try it?"

Not long after, the jumping and kicking began, and the spectators were all sitting around on the ground in the teaching field. The rich and noble families covered the floor with felt blankets, set up small tables, water, food and fruits, etc.

The first scene is 21 Tara offering gods and dancing.

The second scene is the appearance of the auspicious Tianmu and the four ministries of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The Yellow Sect does not set up saints, but uses Tara and Tianmu.

In the third scene, the four azaras dance.Azala is an Indian yoga mantra who went to Tibet to promote Buddhism and do business.

This is the first time Gao Yun has seen an Indian with a high nose and dark skin, and he feels very different.

The third scene is Yong Baofa dancing with four attendants.

The fifth scene is the dance of four corpse masters. The corpse masters are the male and female gods of Shengle Vajra.

In the sixth session, the drums were passionate, the dancers were vigorous, and the five protectors of Yama appeared majestically.

There was loud applause in the classroom.

The seventh scene is the double dance of the deer-faced god and the cow-faced god.

In the eighth scene, four people wearing skull masks dance with cards in hand.

The ninth scene is a collective dance of the skull-faced envoys and the Dharma protectors to show that the demons will be wiped out, the Dharma will be promoted, and everyone will be happy.

The last one is the Dapeng Garuda Dance.

After the divine dance is over, the ceremony of throwing the year-old torma mantra is performed.Torma, also called Baling, is a triangular offering made of flour and ghee, with a skull on top and three sides decorated with wind and fire patterns.The musical instrument played during the ceremony is called Gangdong, which is a Tantric Dharma instrument with a human left thighbone as the tube body, a tube mouth and a trumpet mouth.

Daguitiaobuza originated in Mongolia and Tibet, and Gao Yun was familiar with it. She heard that Yibol was very familiar with him, and she praised him repeatedly, while Balezhuer and Duoluo also smiled beside him.Yong Qi said: "Auntie, stop praising her. What she likes most is excitement. She must come every year, so she knows it clearly."

It was not the end of the dance, the four of them ate at the market, went to the temple to offer incense in the Temple of Heavenly Kings, went out to the market and bought all kinds of gadgets, and returned after enjoying themselves.When leaving, Gao Yun invited the two of them to visit Nanyuan's house.Yongqi hurriedly agreed, saying that she would definitely visit her aunt and see the twins when she was free.Gao Yun looked at the two with a smile and said: I wish you both have a pair of twins!As he said that, he blinked with Ybor, and then helped Baljur's hand to get into the car.Baljur talked to Yongqi a few more words before asking the coachman to drive away.

After going back that day, Yibol took out the "Dream of Red Mansions" that he hid in the cabinet and showed it to Yongqi.Yongqi saw two poems inscribed on the first page, "Don't ask about golden marriage and jade fate, gather like spring dreams and disperse like smoke".After reading a few pages, he was also fascinated, and Ybor smiled and said: I told you, you still don't believe it!The two went to bed very early together, each holding a book, hugging the quilt, sitting on the bed, reading with relish.Later, Yongqi put the book down and lay down on the pillow, and Ybor also put the book down and looked at him with a smile... The two were happy, the rain cleared for a while, and the two cuddled together for a while, and Ybol Get up from the bed and start putting on your coat.Yongqi asked in surprise: What are you doing in such a cold day?

Ybor smiled mysteriously, then got off the bed, turned over, and stood upside down by the wall, Yongqi looked at her in surprise.She said to him: Brother, what are you looking at, come down and help me!Hold my feet, I can't hold it anymore!Yong Qi hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed, stretched out her hands, pressed her feet against the wall, and asked curiously: What are you doing?She smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."When Yibol couldn't support her hands, Yongqi hugged her legs and put her down gently.Yiboer's face was flushed because of the blood rushing to his head and face, and he gasped for several breaths.Yong Qi pulled her to sit on the couch, stroked her chest and patted her back, and asked her again.

She then laughed and said: My aunt said that this way I can conceive twins.Yong Qi was very surprised, then laughed, and said: She is coaxing you, why do you take it seriously? !If this is the case, wouldn't everyone have twins in their family? !Ybor said: "Whether it's useful or not, just do it!"Yong Qi looked at her and said softly, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that I put you under so much pressure."Yi Boer leaned into his arms and said: No, I want to make Elder Brother and Concubine Erniangmu happy, and the ancestors, if there are twins, one of them will be the elder brother.Yong Qi hugged her and kissed her on the head.Ybor went on to say: I know, in fact, brother is for me.Yongqi said: For both of us.Why don't we put away the quilt first, so as not to make you nervous.The two of them have been using the quilt given by Concubine Rong to open a hundred quilts.Ibor said: No, I like that quilt.

Ali Gun went to Changchun Garden to meet the Queen Mother after the Lantern Festival.The queen mother gave her a seat, and as soon as she raised her hand, Nanny Liu and Xiong Jingru withdrew.Xiong Jingru is the wife of Qiu Rixiu. The Queen Mother likes her and considers her a righteous daughter. Since Qiu Rixiu was sent to work on the river last summer, she has been serving the Queen Mother in Changchun Garden according to Yi's order, and helped raise the two princesses. Therefore, the palace called her "Emperor Aunt".The queen mother mentioned Mingxiu, and the two said a few words. Ali Gun told the queen mother to stop being sad, and the queen mother said: "There are also little brothers. I will choose your young daughter again in the future. The emperor also means the same."Ali Gun thanked the queen mother and the emperor.

Then Ali Gun described in detail what happened on the fifth day of the fifth day, and then he also told what he saw and heard in the prince's mansion on the sixth day.The queen mother smiled and said nothing.Ali Gun didn't know what the queen mother meant, and it was hard to ask.After a while, the Empress Dowager said: "The emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. He trusts you. You must cherish it and don't let him down."Just tell him about big and small things, I don't care about things, the harem doesn't care, and the court doesn't care.Ali Gun hurriedly said: Yes, the slave understands.

After Ali Gon left, Nanny Liu came up and said, "Is it intentional that the servant looked at this and the Prince?"The queen mother sighed and said: Hong Zhou is not smart.Mother Liu said: What do you mean?The queen mother shook her head and said: Let them go, I don't worry about anything now, I just wait to hold my grandson!Zhaohua and Zhaoyu are also very likable. Although the emperor doesn't want to see me, his own daughter has to be of great use, so he won't be confused.Liu Momo didn't dare to talk about her and the emperor's mother and son, so she smiled and said: That day the fifth elder brother's little princess told you that she also wholeheartedly wants you to be happy, she is very filial, and you will definitely get your wish!Qigege and Jiugege have been raised by your side since they were young, so they are naturally close to you.The Queen Mother nodded.

After the Empress Dowager's lunch break, Mammy Liu knelt down in front of the Buddhist altar and prayed, thinking that since Fu Heng's matter had been resolved, when Wei Yingluo was confinement, she would definitely discuss with Concubine Rong the important matter of reconciling the relationship between the emperor's mother and her child.

Since the beginning of last year, the mother and son are still friendly on the surface. The emperor went to the empress dowager to settle the province and discuss important matters with the empress dowager as always. To reduce the burden on the ministers, but Yiye Zhiqiu, the queen mother felt that the emperor's mind towards her had changed, and his eyes looked cold and alienated.

The queen mother said that the emperor must have known or guessed something from Hu Shijie, and later asked Li Yu, but Li Yu only said that he did not know, the emperor had not said anything to him, and the emperor did not go when Hu Shijie died.The queen mother didn't ask any more questions, she knew that Li Yu was very difficult to do.So shortly after Wei Mei took over the palace affairs and Hu Jiajia gave birth to a daughter, the queen mother said that she didn't like being bored in the palace, and she didn't like always moving. There is no need to waste money on the Qingyi Garden project.The affairs of the harem are handled by the emperor himself.

She told the empress dowager to tell the emperor the truth, but the empress dowager did not ask herself or dissuade him when she saw the emperor, so she accepted her proposal completely and resolutely forbade her to tell the emperor that she was almost seventy years old. I won't do anything to myself, just see each other less.When she moved, even the screens made for her by the emperor's favorite pen were taught to stay in the palace, so she didn't have to take them with her. Those screens were the two screens that Aisha saw in Shoukang Palace on Concubine Rong's birthday.

Since the Empress Dowager moved to Changchun Garden, the Emperor only visited once to pay his respects, and the rest were sent to Li Yu once every half a month to ask Sun Fang to report the affairs of the harem to the Empress Dowager. The Fujins gave birth to the emperor's grandson and so on.The emperor asked the concubines in the palace and the prince Fujin to go to Changchun Garden to pay their respects in turn on a daily basis, and Hu Jiajia took Zhezhe there every time.At this time, the queen mother is very happy.

Later when Concubine Rong asked her, she confirmed what the emperor knew, and told Concubine Rong everything that happened back then. Concubine Rong sighed after hearing this, and said that she and Mrs. Nalan would find a way to solve this matter and teach her Don't worry, but don't tell the Queen Mother.Then Wei Mei had a miscarriage, Wei Yingluo didn't return for a long time, and Fu Heng was fined again after returning to Beijing.Knowing that Fu Heng returned to the military plane after watching the theater on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the queen mother didn't say anything. She felt that it was the reason why the emperor was too indifferent to the queen mother.In the next few days, the palace staged performances as usual, and the emperor and empress did not intend to welcome the queen mother back to the palace. Even Concubine Shu felt aggrieved, even though Nanfu would also perform in the Changchun Garden.But she signaled Concubine Shu not to say too much, so as not to make the Queen Mother feel sad.

On the third day of the lunar new year, the fifth elder brother's family came to Changchun Garden to have a feast at their knees, and the Empress Dowager felt very relieved.After Yongqi left, the queen mother told her that she thought of the late emperor again, and felt that she was going to see the late emperor soon. She felt very upset and sad for the old lady.

Since the Queen Mother moved into Changchun Garden, she has never talked about the affairs of the previous dynasty, only Ali Gun said that sentence when she came today.Although Xiong Jingru didn't know what to do, she also knew what was going on with the emperor, mother and son. She just devoted herself to serving the queen mother and taking care of the two princesses, and didn't ask about the rest.

On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Yingluo finally attended the ghost hunting activity in Lama Temple.The emperor, empress, and princes had a ceremony of presenting khata to the Buddha statue before the jumping piercing. Yingluo was able to see the emperor and Yongqi and his son, but the queen mother was absent due to illness, and she was filled with an inexplicable feeling.

When watching, men and women are divided into classes and sit opposite each other. In addition to the royal family and courtiers, there are also Mongolian princes.The courtiers and wives are all dressed up according to the rank, and Yingluo is a first-rank wife. Sitting behind the concubines in the harem and the prince and prince Fujin Gege, she knows that the emperor will definitely not see her.She also saw Imperial Concubine Ling Wei Mei sitting next to the Empress, she looked calm and peaceful, while Concubine Rong Shu and Concubine Qing were sitting below her.Just as he was thinking, a group of lamas wearing white ghost masks came out from the field, and the jumping dance officially started.

In Tibetan Tantra, divine power is divided into two categories: white and good, and black and evil.Lama Temple is divided into thirteen acts.The first act is the white ghost dance, the second act is the nigga dance.The third act jumps the snail god, the fourth act jumps the butterfly god, the fifth act dances King Kong, the sixth act jumps the star god, the seventh act is called the jumping king, the eighth act dances the guardian god, the ninth act dances the white rescue, and the sixth act Act 11 dances to the God of Greenness, Act No. 12 dances Maitreya, Act No. 13 kills ghosts, Act No. [-] sends Chong.There will be an intermission after the fourth act and the ninth act.

It was the first time for Yingluo to see a ghost fight, she was dazzled and excited.When she was serving tea in the side hall during the intermission after the fourth act, she received an origami slip. She opened it and saw that it was a poem recorded by the emperor:

lari dufu

It is far from warm every year in Lara, and this year, the frost in Lasun is completely eliminated.

Invading the mausoleum, the color of snow is still day lilies, and there are wicker branches that leak spring light.

Indulge in drinking to seek a good night and get drunk, and return to the family to disperse the Zichen Dynasty.

The mouth-fat and facial medicine follows the grace, and the green tuber Yin-Yu goes down to Jiuxiao.

There was warmth in her heart. The emperor expressed the joy of knowing that he had come. Although he couldn't see himself and raised his head unconsciously, he saw Concubine Rong looking at her, so she knew that it was the emperor named Rong. The concubine gave it to herself, so she smiled at Concubine Rong, who also smiled and nodded.

During the intermission of the ninth act, she was summoned to the side hall to see Concubine Ling, and Li Shi personally invited her. Li Shi pretended not to know her, and only respectfully called her "Mrs. Zhongyonggong" and said that she was The wife of Yilu, the chief manager of the Old Summer Palace, knows what she knows, and pretends to know Mrs. Li just now.After entering the West Room, she bowed to Wei Mei and said: Mrs. Zhongyong, Mrs. Nalan, has seen the imperial concubine Ling.

Wei Mei hurriedly told her to flatten, and told everyone to step back and close the door.Then he came down and held her hand, and said affectionately: Mrs. Nalan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, congratulations on giving birth to another son!Yingluo also laughed and said: Congratulations to your empress, you have been promoted to noble concubine. I heard that your empress was in charge of palace affairs earlier, the emperor really values ​​your empress!Wei Mei said with emotion: Without Madam, Wei Mei would not be where she is today!Wei Mei will always remember Madam's kindness!

Yingluo only said: "The imperial concubine is too serious."After Ming Hui came back from the Western Regions, he heard about your miscarriage. Fu Heng was punished because he couldn't go out, and he couldn't greet your mother.Seeing that you look very good today, I am relieved.Yilu's wife is a capable person, and she has a deep relationship with the empress. The empress must have such a person in front of her. You should make good use of her and discuss things with her.Wei Mei said: "Thank you, Ma'am, it's all due to the emperor's grace. Madam Li also said that she admires you, ma'am.Then his face was reddish, and he said in a low voice: Yesterday, the imperial doctor checked my pulse, and I have an imperial heir again, but except for the emperor, Concubine Rong and the people in my upper room, no one else in the palace knows about it.

Yingluo was very surprised, and then said with a smile: The emperor really likes the empress!Empress is really a blessed person!Ming Hui congratulates the empress for her continued grace!Having another child so quickly, it can be seen that the mother's body is not damaged, so Minghui is relieved.Wei Mei was a little shy and said, "Thank you Madam for your concern!"Yingluo asked: Did you tell the Queen Mother about her old age?Wei Mei said: "I just found out last night that I came to the Lama Temple again today, and I haven't had time in the future."

Yingluo rolled her eyes and said: Minghui is going to see the Queen Mother in a few days, should I tell her?Wei Mei said: That's fine, then please trouble Madam.Yingluo sighed: "The Queen Mother and I may not have seen each other for a long time, how is she doing?"Wei Meidao: At the beginning of the year, the concubines and concubines all went to Changchun Garden to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother. At that time, I thought she was very good.The emperor was too busy, he said that he was too busy during the New Year and would go to pay his respects in person.Yingluo then smiled and said: "Please tell the emperor, Madam, it means that Hui will go first, and Minghui will be the one who announces the good news!"

The author has something to say:

[Cui Wei Qing Dian Car] Use thick green silk to make the car tent, and use blue silk to make the car curtain and seat.Seats made of blue silk were only used by the royal family at that time. "Dream of Red Mansions" suspected that it was deliberately mentioned that the Jia family used this car, which actually exceeded the limit.

[Shuanghuang Temple Fighting Ghosts] The historical records and rituals are as described in the text.The Lama Temple is also open to the public on the [-]th of the first lunar month every year, which is omitted in the novel.There are different procedures for fighting ghosts in Lama Temple, as shown in the text.

[Romance of the West Chamber] was a banned book in that era. "A Dream of Red Mansions" was written around the 17th year of Qianlong. It was popular in manuscript, and it was banned for the first time during the Jiaqing period.Cao Xueqin died in the 28th year of Qianlong (1763).

[Huanggu] The historical prototype is Qiu Rixiu's wife, Xiong Shi. As shown in the text, the name is a fictional one.

["Don't ask about golden marriage and jade fate, gather like spring dreams and disperse like smoke"] This is a sentence in "Twenty Quatrains titled <Dream of Red Mansions" written by Mingyi in history. The title of the book Mingyi saw was "Dream of Red Mansions" ", not "Story of the Stone", so this name is also used in the novel.
