Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

The emperor suddenly remembered the pair of light-brown swim bladders and jade chimes with a frame he had given Yingluo, so he smiled and praised: Good!The paintings, couplets, and ornaments are all well chosen, and they match your name.Gu Qin smiled at him in the mirror: Madam Nalan just said, you will definitely like it.

The emperor stood up, walked behind the mirror, and looked at Gu Qin in the mirror.Gu Qin has already taken off the headgear and the costume, but the patch is still stuck on his forehead, the makeup on his eyes has not been removed, and they are wrapped in plain silver, which has a special charm.The emperor asked: What do you want me to call you?Gu Qin said: The original name of this servant is Feiyao.The emperor said: OK, Fei Yao.Why do you want to?

Gu Qin slightly leaned back, leaned into his arms, closed his eyes and said: Why don't you want to?I am willing even to die!Seeing her eyes closed, the emperor was inexplicably excited, and hugged her horizontally, Gu Qin hurriedly said: Your majesty, the slaves haven't taken off their make-up and washed yet.The emperor didn't answer, and carried her into the bedroom inside.

After the two went to bed, Gu Qin took off the emperor's coat and snuggled into the emperor's arms after undressing. The emperor heard the beating sound of her heart, and there was a fragrant smell of powder at the end of his nose. , the charm and thoughts are all in the corners of the eyes and brows, like joy and anger, like resentment and complaints, and very uneasy and apprehensive, I just feel that I am very familiar with her, far more than three or four times... So I said: Don't be afraid.

Gu Qin has long lost his mind, and never dared to look him in the eyes, half-pushed half-heartedly...

A period of fullness, delicate red, greasy and white.

Spring is boundless, two eyebrows are thin;

The slanting clouds are full of clouds, reflecting Pang Ermei.

The voice is beautiful, low and pretty, singing in the shade of flowers.

The emperor kissed her and suppressed the sobs, and Gu Qin was so painful that she shed tears... Finally, Gu Qin couldn't hold back anymore and cried out loud.The emperor held her in his arms, and seeing her crying with all her make-up gone, Lihuachun with rainy appearance, he patted her lightly.Gu Qin opened his wonderful eyes, looked at the emperor, forced a smile, and said: Even if the servant is dead, I am willing!The emperor felt fresh and smooth in his heart like never before.

After Gu Qin got up from the pain, he took off the patch and netting on his head, pulled his hair casually, washed it in the outer room, brought water up again, served the emperor to wash it, and then went to the kitchen in the east chamber to put himself in the stove Two bowls of midnight snacks in the upper steamer were brought out.When the emperor saw that it was red bean soup, he couldn't help laughing, his mouth was smooth and smooth, and he praised it repeatedly.Then look at her carefully under the lamp. At this time, her face is even, shallow and graceful, her eyebrows are lowered, her breath is blue, and she looks like a different person when she is wrapped in drama makeup... In a daze, the Chonghua Palace wedding, in red Under the hijab, she is shy and charming, singing in the language of swallows...Under the big pear tree in the Changchun Fairy Pavilion, she holds a bouquet full of pear blossoms, closes her eyes, puts them on the tip of her nose, and gently smells the fragrance... The scenes are followed one by one When he came to his eyes, he felt like falling into a dream, calling softly: Rong Yin, Rong Yin...

Suddenly, the emperor woke up, and saw that Gu Qin was standing and holding his head in his arms and gently stroking it, his face was flushed, and just about to speak, Gu Qin gave a soft "shh", and leaned down to whisper in her ear. Bian said: Your majesty, although Feiyao is not as good as the former empress, the servants will serve you well.The emperor looked at her in astonishment, Gu Qin smiled softly, and said: Mrs. Nalan told me that you wanted a slave because of the "Garden Tour" and "Dream Startled" that the slave sang that year.And then sang:

You Dao Cui Sheng's skirt Shan Erqian

Yanjingjing flower hairpin with eight treasures.

It can be seen that my lifelong hobby (hao3) is natural

While singing, he gently stroked the emperor's head. The emperor closed his eyes, immersed in her voice, and shed a tear...

Gu Qin changed the mattress again and took out a pink silk quilt.That night, the emperor held her in his arms and held her tenderly for a long time before falling asleep.Looking at his closed eyelids, Gu Qin felt very happy.Just now the emperor said, "This is his and her home".She understood that he said that because he regarded her as a young Rongyin, and regarded this place as his and Rongyin's home, but she didn't care, and was very happy. If she was really the former queen Rongyin, That's good, I immediately feel that I am an actor, this idea is to insult and desecrate the emperor and the first empress, and I feel feverish on my face.At this moment, she finally understood why Mrs. Nalan said she wanted to perfect herself. In fact, she was doing it for the sake of the emperor, and also to miss Mr. Fu Heng's sister, Empress Rongyin.

The five drums were only handed in on the second day, and before dawn, Gu Qin took the lamp and sent the emperor to the gate of the courtyard, and unlatched the gate.The emperor hugged her, and she whispered: You must not forget the first empress.The emperor nodded, kissed her cheek, and said: I will come to see you again.After saying that, he opened the door and went out. Li Yu was already waiting outside the door with the lamp on, and Doro stood beside him. The two of them had rested in the duty room not far from the small courtyard last night.Gu Qin closed the door, smiling all over his face, and got his wish.

After the emperor brought Li Yu and Duo Luo back to the palace through the back door of the Yujing Garden, and had breakfast, Li Yu thought he was going to court, but he went straight to the Longxi Palace.He walked into the inner room and lifted the bed curtain. Concubine Rong was still lying high, sleeping deeply, with a snowy lotus-like arm exposed outside the quilt. He smiled, sat in front of the bed, touched her, and Put your arms under the quilt.

With this movement, Concubine Rong woke up with sleepy eyes, and smiled slightly when she saw him.He bent down and hugged her outside the quilt, her scent filled his nose... Concubine Rong asked: What do you want to say?The emperor said: Last night, I felt as if Rong Yin had returned.Concubine Rong didn't speak, she reached out her hands and stroked his head, waiting for him to continue.The emperor said: Did you know about it a long time ago, so you agreed?Concubine Rong said with a smile: The concubine naturally remembers that night.Then softly chanted:

I asked the Buddha: Why are there so many regrets in the world?

Buddha said: This is a whirling world, whirling is regret,

No regrets, no matter how much happiness is given to you, you will not experience happiness.

Then he said: Your Majesty, are you happy going there?You should go often.The emperor smiled and said: Don't even think about it!

The two were laughing and joking, when Li Yu hurried in and knelt by the bed, the emperor asked: What's the matter?Li Yu drooped his head and said in a trembling voice: Brother Fourteen... Both of them were shocked.Li Yu continued: "Zhang Yuanjue and Dr. Ye just went back and forth together, saying that the fourteenth elder brother had a bad time with the vaccination, and it seemed that he couldn't make it through. In just these two days, Dr. Ye also said that he could do nothing... he kowtowed.

The emperor froze, closed his eyes, sighed, and said: Don't tell Concubine Ling.Concubine Rong was also extremely surprised, quickly lifted the quilt, sat up, and hugged the emperor, the emperor leaned his head against hers, and closed his eyes in pain, Concubine Rong gently stroked his head and face, feeling very sad , I just thought, the Qigege vaccination is all good.

The emperor still went to court, and only Li Yu knew the torment in his heart.Concubine Rong got up, ate breakfast in silence, and went to Yongshou Palace.As early as the beginning of Yonglu's vaccination, Fukang'an had been temporarily removed from the elder brother's office.She walked into the dormitory of the fourteenth elder brother in the back hall, and saw that the fourteenth elder brother was flushed with fever. Concubine Qing didn't know it, she was sitting by the bed, rubbing his forehead, and comforting him: "Yong Lu, be good!" It will be fine when the acne comes out. It’s okay, baby, it’s okay. Concubine Mother knows that you are uncomfortable... Concubine Rong couldn’t bear to speak, so she waved to Lingzi who was standing beside her, turned around and left, thinking that she was still happy at that time The concubine won Yong Lu, but unexpectedly, she taught her to experience life and death...

Then she went to Chuxiu Palace and saw that the queen was there, so she asked An to meet her.Wei Mei was happily painting in front of the desk. Concubine Rong saw that the painting was a peach tree. The brushwork was brisk and delicate, the flowers were charming, the leaves were soft, plain and elegant, full of the poetic and smoky flavor of peach blossoms in spring. Naturally, the queen was praising her for her good painting, so she remained silent.

Seeing Concubine Rong's expression, Nala asked: What's the matter, sister?Concubine Rong hurriedly forced a smile and said: No, I am fascinated by the paintings of the concubine's younger sister.Wei Mei finished the painting and inscribed "Prosperous Changchun" on the side.Seeing that Concubine Rong remained silent, Nala said she was leaving and let the two of them talk about themselves.Wei Mei hurriedly laughed and said that she had no secrets, Concubine Rong only smiled lightly.After the queen left, Concubine Rong saw that Wei Mei's face was rosy and she was in a relaxed mood, so she couldn't say a word.Wei Mei asked: Sister, what happened to you today, just say what you have to say!Concubine Rong looked at her still flat belly with a smile, and asked: Is this Elder Brother or Princess?

Wei Mei smiled and said: What does my sister think?Concubine Rong said: "It must be elder brother!"Wei Mei nodded with a smile, and said: I hope my sister can get what she wants.Concubine Rong said again: The emperor said that he will come to Chuxiu Palace tonight.Wei Mei nodded happily.After she was pregnant this time, the emperor would often come to sleep with her. She knew that the emperor was guilty and afraid of what happened to her Xiaoyue last year. Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly.Concubine Rong sighed in her heart, said her goodbyes, and went to pray in the Temple of the Pox Empress in the palace, and then went to the queen's morning meeting.

That night, the emperor slept with Wei Mei. Around four o'clock, Li Yu came in and opened the bed curtain. The emperor woke up immediately, and Li Yu nodded sadly, drooping his head.The emperor closed his eyes and wept.In the quilt, Wei Mei was leaning on the emperor, still sound asleep, her face was flushed, Li Yu glanced at her, turned around and walked out silently, closed the door, quietly went to tell and command Li.

On the second day, the emperor got up early in the morning and went to Yongshou Palace, where the eunuchs and maids knelt down again in the courtyard.Concubine Qing didn't close her eyes all night, and she was still sitting by the bed. The emperor walked to the bed and looked at Elder Fourteen, who was not yet four years old. , hurriedly got up and knelt in front of the emperor and said: Your majesty, it's all the concubines who didn't take good care of the fourteenth elder brother. The concubines are guilty, please punish the emperor.

Seeing her miserable and haggard look, her sideburns were disheveled, the emperor pulled her up and embraced her without saying a word. Concubine Qing couldn't help but burst into tears and said: I'm sorry for the emperor, I'm sorry for the noble concubine... The emperor felt great pain Woke up, tears streaming down my face.Concubine Qing cried even harder, Li Yu and Lingzi knelt down, also bursting into tears, and there was a sound of sobbing in the courtyard outside, because the emperor closed the gate of Yongshou Palace when the emperor came, and people in the courtyard were not allowed to mourn. cry.

The queen also got the letter early in the morning, and understood Concubine Rong's expression yesterday, the emperor instructed the harem to block the news, not to tell Concubine Ling, so as not to cause fetal gas, she naturally complied.Seeing her tearful, Zhen'er knew that she remembered her thirteenth elder brother who also had acne, so she also became sad and wiped away her tears together.In fact, the thirteenth elder brother did not have acne, but the child had a fever and convulsions, but the Tai Hospital only said that he had acne to comfort the queen, and later reported it to the emperor, who told them not to change their words.It is not uncommon to die from vaccination, because the poison of the vaccine is not strong, and Yong Lu has always been in good health, but even a pediatrician like Ye Tianshi, a master of medicine and pediatrics, can't do anything about it.The emperor then ordered Quietly to thoroughly investigate the Yongshou Palace and Tai Hospital.

In order not to let the noble concubine know, the emperor still reluctantly went to the court, and everyone in the military plane knew it from Li Yu, and knelt down to ask the emperor to mourn.Concubine Ying was ordered to go to Yongshou Palace to accompany and comfort Concubine Qing.The emperor wanted to stay with Wei Mei for a few more nights, but Li Yu and Concubine Rong discussed not letting him go. He would be even more sad when he saw Wei Mei, especially since Wei Mei didn't know anything, and it would be even more troublesome if Yong Lu was mentioned.

Concubine Rong sent a letter to Yingluo, saying that it is not suitable for the emperor to go to the palace or other places at this time, but she asked the emperor to stay in Yujing Garden for a few days, and only told the palace to go to Changchun Garden to accompany the Queen Mother.Yingluo told Gu Qin the truth, and taught her to be careful in what she said and did, and to comfort the emperor well.Then Fu Hengwan proposed to the emperor at the meeting that the emperor didn't want to go, but both Li Yu and Concubine Rong strongly agreed that he should go out of the palace to relax, and that it would be fine for Duo Luo to escort him alone, and the emperor agreed without hesitation.

On the night of March [-]th, the emperor went into Gu Qin's small courtyard in Yujing Garden again in trance. Gu Qin took off his coat, cleaned his face, etc., and said that he was very happy that he came again so soon.The emperor was out of his mind and didn't say a word, so Gu Qin stopped talking, just helped him to bed, covered him with a quilt, and went to the kitchen to tidy up.

The old duck soup was simmering on the small fire. After she cleaned it up, she chopped the green onion, put it into the soup, and stirred it with a spoon. The whole room was full of aroma.Suddenly the emperor said behind him: Feiyao.She hurriedly turned around and saw that the emperor was wearing a coat and his face was covered with tears. She hurriedly supported him and said, "Your majesty, why are you up?"Be careful of the wind.Then he helped him back to the main room, let him sit at the table, and said that he would bring in the soup by himself.

After the soup came in, she took a spoon and fed it to the emperor.The emperor looked at her, and immediately thought of his biological mother. In those days, Mrs. Qian also took such meticulous care for the emperor's medical examinations. Although she didn't know what she looked like, and she didn't even leave a small portrait... I just felt sore and guilty in my heart , all kinds of discomfort, throat blockage, shook his head, and pushed her hand away.

So Gu Qin wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, the emperor hugged her, and then talked a lot, she listened for a long time before she realized that the emperor was talking about the second elder brother and the seventh elder brother, Mrs. Nalan had told she.Hearing the sad words of the emperor, my heart was also very sad, and tears rolled down my face.Later, he persuaded him again, saying that the soup he had just made was fresh, and he gave the emperor a bowl.

That night, Gu Qin hugged the emperor, feeling very distressed.Later, she told Yingluo what the emperor had said. Yingluo was already sad in her heart, and she couldn't stop crying, knowing that because of the fourteenth elder brother, the emperor brought back the old pain.She also said that the emperor was very different from what she thought. She thought he was just an ordinary man, not particular.Yingluo forced a smile amidst the tears, and said: In your small courtyard, just let him be an ordinary man.

The emperor lived in Gu Qin's small courtyard for three days, and returned to the palace after he calmed down a bit.During these three days, Gu Qin didn't go to the theater due to "being unwell", but her singing voice often wafted from her small courtyard, which was no different from the usual days.After the emperor left, Concubine Rong went to Changchun Garden to tell the Queen Mother the bad news, and accompanied Concubine Shu to comfort the Queen Mother.Although Concubine Shu had some complaints about Concubine Ling, the death of her child also aroused her sadness, and she was very sad.The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, and said that the elder brother who was finally obtained again was gone like the last one.When Concubine Qing heard about this later, she burst into tears again, blaming herself extremely.

Soon, a plaque was hung on the door of Gu Qin's small courtyard, with the word "Pear Garden" written on it, which was inscribed by a famous artist, and two pear trees were transplanted in her courtyard.Concubine Rong even came to see it herself.Before going to the small courtyard, Yingluo told Concubine Rong that she stopped the emperor from inscribing the plaque himself to avoid suspicion, Concubine Rong just laughed.Gu Qin had met Concubine Rong twice, once in Yujing Garden and once in the palace, and this time he paid respects to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong gave her a box of almond wood snacks, saying that the emperor likes this, and taught her to try it too, and gently told her to serve the emperor well, every time the emperor came, she must make the emperor satisfied and comfortable, saying that the emperor would definitely not will treat her badly.Gu Qin agreed one by one, saying that Mrs. Nalan had treated her very well, and she had no more demands, so Yingluo and Concubine Rong looked at each other and smiled.

After Concubine Rong left, Gu Qin sighed to Yingluo, saying that Concubine Rong is such an honorable beauty, she is so powerful, and she comes from a lowly family background, she is as kind and amiable to herself as Mistress Yingluo, and even gave herself gifts, Really flattered.Yingluo just smiled and said: She is just like the former Queen's sister, she is a very beautiful person, and we don't have distinctions in our hearts.The fourteenth elder brother passed away, and you comforted the emperor, which is a great achievement, and neither we nor the emperor will forget it.You are the emperor's man now, how dare Yu Jingyuan neglect you?

The author has something to say:

Historically, the fourteenth elder brother Yonglu died of illness during vaccination.
