Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After dancing for a while, everyone present clapped their hands and applauded, Fukang'an was the most excited.Fu Heng saluted and thanked, and said: "Thank you, Concubine Rong, for reciting for the slaves."He looked at Concubine Rong softly.Concubine Rong turned her head to look at the emperor, then smiled at Fu Heng and said, "Today Yongqi and An'er's riding and shooting were also very exciting, and I also came to recite poems to cheer up, which made my lord laugh."Fu Heng didn't raise his head, he just said: "I dare not."

The emperor said: Kong Zhou, a guard in the Spring and Autumn Period, had three treasured swords left over from the Yin Dynasty: Hanguang, Chengying, and Xiaolian. In "Lie Zi Tang Wen", Kong Zhou said: "I have three swords, but the son chooses them."One is called containing light, invisible to the eye, unaware of what it touches when transported, obliterated and boundless, passing through objects without being aware of them. "Fu Heng, I usually see that your sword made in Wuyue is very good, and I have always wanted to give it a name. I just saw you dancing the sword, and then I thought of a suitable one. Let's call it 'Hanguang'."I got a good sword recently, and I will reward you later.

Fu Heng knelt down to thank her, and Yingluo's eyes lit up, and she praised: "It's boundless, you can't feel the things through things", good!Yong Qi laughed and said: "Watching Mr. Fu Heng dance the sword, I am really puzzled by Pei Min's reincarnation. Pei Min's disciple, the great poet Li Bai, once had a famous saying through the ages, 'Kill a person in ten steps, and you will not stay behind for a thousand miles."Hello. 'You can see Pei Min's style.Therefore, the name given by Huang Ama is appropriate and extraordinary.Talking and looking at Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong knew that he was saying her name "Chen Bi" at the same time, so she also smiled and thought: Fatima is also very good.Yongqi's words made Yingluo even happier.The emperor picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid, and said slowly: Pei Yu's weather is not enough, 20 years earlier, maybe Fu Heng can be compared to him.Today, Fu Heng is my Zhang Huapei Duye.

Yongqi's eyes lit up, she smiled at the emperor and said: "Huang Ama is right!"In the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhang Hua and Yang Hu were of the same mind, and urged Emperor Wu of Jin to conquer Wu, and was responsible for planning and transporting grain and grass, and worked together with Emperor Wu to formulate a battle plan.Sure enough, the eternal foundation and fame have been achieved!Zhang Huagong is good at poetry and Fu, with gorgeous rhetoric, but in fact, he is "chivalrous and tender", which can be said that his poems are like his own.Grand Master Pei Du insisted on the right way and assisted Tang Xianzong to achieve "Yuanhe Zhongxing".Served as a general for more than 20 years, recommended Li Deyu, Li Zongmin, Han Yu and other famous people, and reused Li Guangyan, Li Yan and other famous generals. "Traveling in and out of China and abroad for [-] years, with the safety of the country and the importance of the times", was compared to Guo Ziyi by the people of the time .He is strong and upright, and can speak eloquently, and can move people with emotion.In literature, he advocated that "the words should be beautiful without being tricky, and the reasoning should be new without being different", and he opposed the pursuit of strangeness in composition.Master Fu Heng is indeed comparable to these two!

Fukang'an had been listening intently from the sidelines, and it was the first time Concubine Rong had heard of these two people, and she was very interested. While stroking the cat, she wanted to go back and ask the emperor in detail.Fu Heng knelt down again to thank him, and said, "My Majesty and the fifth elder brother praise you."The slaves just carry out the emperor's wishes and share the emperor's worries.Both Yingluo and Concubine Rong pursed their lips and smiled.The emperor also smiled, and Yong Qi only said: Your Excellency is too modest.Fu Heng got up and went to change again.The emperor looked at Concubine Rong and said: Are you satisfied now?Concubine Rong smiled and replied: Thank you, Your Majesty!Looking at Yingluo again, she said, "Thank you Madam Nalan!"Yingluo waved her hands with a smile and said: Thank me for what?

Later, the logo of the sword sent by Desheng read "Yuewang Sword". "Zhou Li Kao Gong Narrative": "The sword of Wu Yue (Yue) was moved to its own land, but it can be good, and the land is full of energy."; "Deliberately": "Fugan [Wu] Yue's sword is held back and hidden, dare not use it, it is the most precious."

Looking at the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, it can be seen that the Yue Kingdom was able to compete with other tyrants due to its southeast corner, which can be seen from its prosperity.Gou Jian, the king of Yue, lived hard for 20 years and finally annihilated the state of Wu.This Yuewang sword has a black body, a wide and thick sword, and a disc-shaped head decorated with dense concentric circles.The sword stem is cylindrical, the front part of the blade is slightly curved, the middle ridge rises, the double blades are narrowed in the front section, and the two sides are obliquely wide. .At first glance, it looks like a "big sword without a sharp edge", which fits what the emperor called "Han Guang".Yingluo loved it so much that she hung it vertically on the wall of Fu Heng's study.

The luncheon was held in the "Huaixie Pavilion". There is a tall and luxuriant plane tree in the courtyard of the "Huaixie Pavilion". In summer, Fu Heng and Yingluo often sit in the shade of the tree and drink tea, and it is also the season of falling leaves.Autumn outside the window is very strong, but the atmosphere is very lively when everyone sits around.In the hall, there are two vertical ink painting paintings facing each other. One is ten landscape screens of pine and stone with majestic and prosperous green pines, and the other is ten landscape screens of banana stone with steep strange rocks and tall banana leaves. Both are works of famous masters in Ming Dynasty.The red sandalwood tables and chairs are placed between the two screens.

Fukang'an sat beside Concubine Rong, and the emperor asked Haishi to sit beside Yongqi to "serve". During the meeting, everyone was very concerned about Ibor's daily situation.The Pearl Nurse sat at the side table holding Fulongan in her arms.Jiang Jiang came out and showed her face.Yong Qi happily hugged the two children for a while.Li Yu and Duo Luo were also seated at another table.

After the meal, Haishi led the girl to bring homemade big glutinous rice balls, the skin is very thin, and the color of the stuffing is faintly revealed. The red one is rose sauce, and the yellow one is sweet-scented osmanthus sauce. In the bowl, a stack of yellow "Buddha's daily life" pattern tea bowls and Jihong glazed tea bowls were placed. Haishi personally scooped out a red and yellow glutinous rice ball in each bowl, and distributed a bowl to each person. Some people took the yellow bowl, while others took it. The red bowl is truly beautiful.As soon as the glutinous rice balls were bitten into a gap, they could feel the aroma. The spoons were full of pink rose sauce and golden osmanthus sauce, lined with snow-white leather, bright in color and rich in aroma, and everyone was full of praise.

Yingluo was very proud, and said: Knowing that the emperor likes to eat glutinous rice balls, Minghui will let you try my stuffing. The glutinous rice balls are wrapped by Jingli herself.Fu Heng smiled and squeezed her hand underneath.The emperor then looked at her and Hai Shi and smiled.Tears welled up in Yongqi's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head and ate glutinous rice balls to cover it up.Li Yu said to Yingluo: Turning around, I got the formula from my wife and asked the imperial kitchen to make it the same way.Yingluo nodded.

Concubine Rong liked the two large bowls very much. She saw that the center and the outer walls of the bowls were covered with extremely light blue and white flowers, and nine five-clawed dragons were painted in alum red, shuttling over the waves of the blue and white sea water; The body is curved and slender, and the dragon claws are thick and sharp, very vivid.Xinglong leaps on the tumbling waves, highlighting its vigor and arrogance.The alum red is gorgeous, fresh and thick, which makes the contrast between Youlong and the cobalt blue sea water cirrus cloud strong, and the momentum is magnificent.Fukang'an also likes this dragon bowl, always saying it looks good.The emperor just smiled.

Finally, when tea is served, a magnetic tea bowl with foreign colors and green icing on the cake is placed in front of each person.Yingluo took the boiling water from Haishi and poured it into two big-bellied blue-glazed chrysanthemum petal teapots. After waiting for a while, she poured a bowl for each of them, and asked the emperor to guess what kind of tea it was.

Concubine Rong knew that these utensils in the Fucha Mansion were all given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many "yellow" utensils, like the emerald beads worn in Yingluo's big dress, were all over the limit.This blue flowered tea bowl was brought by the emperor himself today. If you look closely, you can see that the whole body is decorated with emerald land and embroidered flowers as the main pattern. The inside is covered with white glaze. The interior and the bottom of the bowl are glazed with foreign-colored emerald green, and the blue and white inscription of the six-character seal script "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" is inscribed.

The emperor told her last night that the technique of icing on the cake with foreign colors on magnetic tires was first created in this dynasty, and the technique is extremely complicated.First of all, the requirements for magnetic tires are extremely strict, and the elutriation of the tire soil is two to three times more than that of ordinary traditional official kilns.The whole device does not allow any slight flaws, and the loss rate during the production process is extremely high.The craftsmanship of Jindi is also time-consuming and labor-intensive. As long as a craftsman makes a slight mistake in depicting Jindi, the entire work will be wasted.In addition to adding decorations on the brocade ground, the emperor also requested that the fetal bone be thinner, so this is the most precious porcelain in the palace, which the emperor values ​​most. People went to Qianqing Palace to pick up [-] pieces, saying they brought them as gifts.

But she didn't know that the blue and white alum red Kowloon Naohai Bowl was Yingluo's dowry, and the tea bowl with "Buddha's daily bright" pattern and Jihong glazed tea bowl were the wedding presents given by the emperor to Fu Heng and Yingluo.

The Jihong glazed tea bowl is a sacrificial bowl fired in the Yongzheng Dynasty, with high specifications.Red glaze is applied on the outside and white glaze is applied on the inside. The color is uniform, quiet and shiny.Jihong glaze is a variety created by imitating Ming Yongxuan red glaze, especially in the Yongzheng Dynasty. The whole of the United States is well-crafted. The frosty weather and the sunny day are carefully combined, and the same kneading and firing are different." It can be seen that it is difficult to fire.

The "Buddha's daily bright" pattern tea bowl is actually a wedding gift from the Empress Dowager. It is slightly larger than the red-glazed tea bowl. The outer wall is made of yellow glaze. Equidistant four circular consecrations, inside the four characters "Buddha's daily life", the color is rich, gorgeous and joyful.

At that time, Yingluo's dowry was all ordered by the emperor to be purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the two antique golden bell heads given by the queen mother, which are the pair placed in the bedroom of Yicui Hall, and a set of coral red porcelain bodies from the Kangxi Dynasty. Painted enamel Nine Autumn Palace Bowl and a set of four imperial embroidered farming and weaving pictures and many embroidered cloths.It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't know who these things are for. Before they get married, they put them into non-domestic boxes, and after they are carried into Nalan's house from other places, Nalan's family is not allowed to open the box for inspection. The gifts are also placed in the dowry and marked distinguish.

When Yingluo met Concubine Rong for the first time in Shoukang Palace, she thanked the Queen Mother, and after communicating with the emperor, she expressed her gratitude early in the morning. Yin said that the emperor bought the dowry for Yingluo for Rongyin. The Kowloon Naohai Bowl, the Coral Red Palace Bowl and the four small pictures were given by the emperor when he was Prince Bao. Di likes things very much, but Yingluo knows that the dragon bowl is actually the emperor's favorite thing.The colorful embroidered farming and weaving picture is now hanging in the main hall of Yannian Hotel, which is the temporary residence of Yongqi and Yiboer in Yujing Garden last time.

The emperor picked up the tea and took a look at the blue bowl cover. The soup was light in color and clear, with a sweet and refreshing bitterness in the mouth, but it was very thirst-quenching.He wanted another bowl to drink, and suddenly felt cold in his armpits, feeling refreshed, but he couldn't remember what kind of tea it was, Yingluo smiled and said, "This is the oriental raw tea brought back by Tie Puxin. Because Lu Tong (tong2) said "Qiwan Fengsheng", he gave it this name.

The emperor immediately praised: Good!Get well!It goes even better with this bowl!Must drink seven bowls in a row!

Yongqi smiled and said: "Lu Tong said, "One bowl moistens the throat, and the other two breaks the loneliness."Three bowls of search, only five thousand volumes of writing.Four bowls of light sweating, unjust things happened, and scattered to the pores.Five bowls of Muscle and Bone Clear, six bowls of Tongxianling.I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the breeze in my armpits.Where is Penglai Mountain?Yu Chuanzi took advantage of the breeze to go back, Mrs. Nalan was really clever.Everyone present praised, Doro only smiled slightly.

Yingluo poured tea for the emperor with a smile, and said, "Today, the emperor also gave Jiangning a Ryukyu 'Red Type' and a 'Basket Type' each. I really like the Ryukyu 'Blue Type'. Xiao Quanzi brings some every year when he comes back. Floral cloth, I have already taught the girl to cut clothes.The beige printed cloth and sea carp pattern cloth you gave are Ryukyu tributes. I am going to learn from the master on the loom, so take this tea out to thank the emperor!The emperor looked at her, nodded and smiled, Yingluo likes the blue type, he just heard from Xiao Quanzi.The girls in Duke Zhongyong's mansion were all wearing blue calico clothes, he also saw it.

After the meal, Yongqi left first, Hai Shi also withdrew, and Concubine Rong took Fu Kang'an, Xiao Nai and other guards back to Xiyuan, leaving behind the emperor, Li Yu and Duo Luo.The emperor went to Gu Qin's small courtyard to take a rest.The two haven't seen each other for several months, and after eating the dinner carefully prepared by Gu Qin, it was a very tender night.Gu Qin said that he cared about the emperor very much, and asked him if he was safe on the east tour, whether there was any infection, etc., and thanked the emperor for the fur and mountain treasures that Mrs. Nalan handed over to her.The emperor talked to her a lot about himself, he said that he went to Jiaxing, but he didn't mention Qian's family, and said that he would help her find her parents and relatives, and told her to tell Mrs. Nalan everything she remembered.Gu Qin thanked him again, but said that he had been entrusted for life and was not worried about waiting.

The emperor looked at her and said: "Fei Yao, if I'm not here, you can leave as you like, no matter where you want to go, tell Madam Nalan, she will make arrangements for you."Gu Qin hurriedly covered his mouth and said: No, Your Majesty, don't say you live forever, if you really walk before Feiyao, Feiyao will also live in this small courtyard all her life and never leave. house of servants.The emperor shook his head and said: You are still so young.Gu Qin asked: Your Majesty, if Concubine Rong is an empress, would you allow her to do this?The emperor naturally didn't like this topic, so he said indifferently: "She is my concubine, if I'm not here, she still has Yongqi'an'er, so she will become a concubine.

Gu Qin nodded and said nothing.Seeing tears in her eyes, the emperor asked: What's the matter?Speak up when you have something to say.Gu Qin said: Your majesty, Feiyao understands her identity, but Feiyao can be her own master. Although Feiyao has only just started to read and write, she has understood the principle of filial piety and righteousness early in the morning.The emperor thought of "The Story of the Hairpin" she sang, and said: Don't take what is said in the play too seriously.Gu Qin shook his head and said: "Fei Yao understands, the servant girl obeys the order, but the servant girl belongs to the emperor, and she will never be a second person."Said and shed tears.

The emperor's heart became hot, he hugged her into his arms, wiped away her tears, and said: I have no other intentions, you are not a slave in my heart.Yes... He stopped talking suddenly, afraid that if he continued, he would bring up his birth mother, Mrs. Qian, and his mind was filled with those faded bamboo toys, which were extremely clear.Although he didn't look at it much after he got it back from Jiaxing that year, the Chunhui picture that Qian Zhengyuan asked for inscriptions did not open for many years...

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red, Gu Qin thought he remembered the former empress, and said, "It's the servant who is ignorant and made you sad. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."After a while, the emperor said: "You follow me, you can neither see people, you have no name and no share, and you can't have children."Gu Qin shook his head, embraced the emperor, and said: This is the slave girl's own choice, and the slave girl doesn't feel wronged.With your words, the servants will not feel wronged, and it will be difficult for them to repay the emperor's kindness.The emperor sighed and kept touching her hair.

Gu Qin then talked about the bank note that Master Qian in Jiaxing gave him, and the emperor just smiled.Gu Qin knew what he was thinking, and said, "Your Majesty, he didn't know, he was all kind, now Feiyao would not use others' money, and this servant asked Mrs. Nalan to be the master, and gave it to other people in the theater."But why did you pretend to be Master Qin to support the Qian family?The emperor said: The imperial court supports all kinds of businesses in the south of the Yangtze River. The rice business and salt business are all important livelihood projects for the people.Gu Qin nodded and stopped asking. Mrs. Nalan said that the emperor dislikes women talking about state affairs the most.
