Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After everyone left, the Empress Dowager came down immediately, pulled Concubine Rong who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Good boy!"You suffer!Said, shed tears.Seeing her like this, Concubine Rong was also very sad in her heart, but her face showed surprise.Nanny Liu hurriedly said: "Concubine Rong, don't kowtow to the queen mother yet. Nanny Wen is the emperor's wet nurse. Princess An used to like her very much. This is God's sympathy for the queen mother and her old man, and asked you to serve the queen mother on behalf of the princess." of.Concubine Rong hurriedly knelt down and said: Yes, Shen Bi understands!Shen Bi will serve the Queen Mother well!The queen mother wiped her tears, smiled and pulled her up again, and said, "Come on, child, let me take a good look at you."

After the Empress Dowager sat back, she taught Concubine Rong to lie on her knees, looked left and right, and for a while, said to Madam Liu next to her: "I always think about peace, and I have devoted myself to which family in Manchuria." , I just don't know if she is in a prince's or aristocratic's house or a commoner's house, but she never thought about it. She went to the Tianshan Mountains to return to the Ministry. How can this be seen? !Nanny Liu smiled and said: The princess is your daughter, no matter where she goes, she will definitely come back to find you!

The Empress Dowager laughed so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth, and said: Good!good!Then he said to Concubine Rong: My child, An Ben is my daughter, and the emperor is my elder brother. Now, you and the emperor are married. Even better, your daughter will get married. You can stay with me for a long time. Follow me!Concubine Rong said: Empress Dowager, Shen Bi's aunt passed away when Shen Bi was ten years old, I will definitely treat you as my aunt, and be filial to you.Just as Grandma Liu was about to speak, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: Good!good!From now on, you will be like the emperor, call me Huangerniang!Grandma Liu was very surprised when she heard this.

Concubine Rong was about to kneel down to thank her, the queen mother said: "Okay, okay, my mother and I don't need to behave so much!"Gently touching her hand, he said: "Son, you are scared out of your wits today. I see that you still have a sad face. I think it's because of He'an."Concubine Rong said: Empress Dowager, it is Shen Bi who sees you being so sad today, and thinks that Princess An left you at such a young age, so she feels sad for you and her together.The queen mother sighed and said: "He'an, I have been sick often since I was born, and I knew at that time that this child might not be able to support her."

Nanny Liu hurriedly persuaded: Queen Mother, you still have the emperor!How filial the emperor is to the queen mother!The Queen Mother smiled and said: Yes.Child, who will bully you in the future, you must come and tell me.The latter sentence was addressed to Concubine Rong, who said: Queen Mother, the ancient Gran says, 'Whoever follows the right way will benefit from it; whoever goes astray will suffer from it'.So Shen Bi is not afraid.

After hearing this, the queen mother looked at her with admiration and said: You are such a good boy, no wonder the emperor likes you.Concubine Rong blushed a little.Then I heard the Empress Dowager say, "My child, the inside of this palace is different from the outside. You must beware of sinister people, don't be careless."I gave my daughter the word "hean" in the hope that she will be peaceful and peaceful. Now I also give these two words to you, hoping that you will be peaceful and peaceful.Concubine Rong said: Yes, thank you, Queen Mother.But I thought in my heart: With such a position as the queen mother, she is also so careful, is there anyone in the palace who can harm her?It suddenly occurred to me that the day the emperor said that he used to be called a nobleman, and what did he mean by "he" with the prince...

The queen mother continued: "Child, you often come to talk to me about the Qur'an. Your Allah is sympathetic to me, an old woman, and sent you to me. I should also express my piety and gratitude, although I can't believe you." taught.Concubine Rong agreed again, and said goodbye: Empress Dowager, you have been exhausted all morning, take a good rest, Shen Bi will go back first, and will come to accompany you tomorrow.The queen mother said: "Okay, you go back first, and come early tomorrow."Also, I want to be called Huang Er Niang.Concubine Rong agreed, and then gave a blessing to Madam Liu, and went with Caiyun beside her.

After leaving the Shoukang Palace, Concubine Rong got into her sedan chair, and Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Master, this servant was very upset this morning, luckily I'm fine."Concubine Rong didn't say a word, Caiyun saw that she still had a sad face, and knew that she was still thinking about him, so she left the Forbidden City silently without saying a word.When she was about to reach the main entrance of Baoyue Tower, Concubine Rong suddenly said: "Go to the mosque."Caiyun said: Your Majesty, you are still wearing a black palace attire, I'm afraid this is inappropriate.Concubine Rong said: It doesn't matter.

When her sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the mosque, she found that the entrance of the mosque had been taken over by the nine-door admiral's yamen, and it was completely sealed off. No one was allowed to enter, and only the faint ceremony was open.Caiyun negotiated with the two people at the door to no avail, Concubine Rong walked out of the sedan chair by herself, and the two soldiers at the door opened their eyes wide, stunned by this celestial-looking woman, speechless.Concubine Rong said: "Go and teach you to come and see me."

One of the soldiers immediately entered the door to report.After a while, a man with the appearance of a general came out from inside. When he saw Concubine Rong, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "The commander of the infantry, Yue Bu, has seen Concubine Rong. The emperor has a strict decree that no one is allowed to enter during the non-night ceremony." Mosque, please don't embarrass officials.

Concubine Rong smiled slightly and said: Lord Yue Bu, today is the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager's daughter, the Emperor's sister, and Princess An. The ceremony has just been completed. The Empress Dowager asked me to come here and bring her words to Allah. up.Then he turned around and was about to get on the sedan chair.Yue Bu saw that she was wearing a black dress in the cloak and no headgear on her head. It was obvious that she had attended the funeral ceremony in the palace. After hearing this, he thought that the Empress Dowager's order could not be disobeyed. Ma'am please!

Concubine Rong and Caiyun went in together, and Yue Bu also followed, she turned her head and said: My lord, you just wait here, this temple is surrounded by you like an iron barrel, who can harm me?Yue Bu then bowed his head to accept the order and stayed outside.

It was Caiyun's first visit to the mosque, and she was very curious when she looked around, but there was no one around.The two entered the big chapel together, Concubine Rong said: You wait for me here, so she walked to her small chapel on the right.Seeing the empty and deserted hall, Caiyun felt scared in her heart, and said, "Madam, I'm afraid."Concubine Rong smiled and said: Although there is no one in this temple, there are heavy guards outside, no bad people can come in.Caiyun said: "Who is there outside?"Apart from the two soldiers at the door, there was also Mr. Yue Bu.Concubine Rong said: "They are all hiding around this temple. I'm right. Don't worry, I'll be right back."Said to go.

Concubine Rong stayed in the small chapel for a while, then returned to the big chapel, but Caiyun was not there. She was startled and was about to call her.Suddenly, a man in court clothes walked in from the door.She took a closer look, was overjoyed, and said: Master Fu Heng!The person who came was Fu Heng, with a serious expression on his face. He first knelt down to salute Concubine Rong, then stood up and said, "Ms. Concubine Rong, you shouldn't be here."Concubine Rong saw that he was dressed up, and remembered what Concubine Shu said in the morning. Today is the emperor's grand court meeting. Knowing that he came from Qianqing Palace, she asked: "Where is my maid, Caiyun?"

Fu Heng said: She is fine outside, don't worry.The servant just came in and had a few words with the empress.Concubine Rong looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "Say it."Fu Hengdao: You know why the emperor did this, why did you come in.Concubine Rong saw that he suddenly called herself "you" directly, and felt close and comforted in her heart, and said: So you also understand.So you must also understand why I came.Fu Heng shook his head, and said: If you still want to save his life, you should not come here again, and you should not come here either.

Concubine Rong smiled sadly, and said: "And then?"I don't need to come here, but one day, somewhere in the capital, he will still die, when I don't know.When I come here, I can see him for the last time, but he also wants to see me for the last time, why should the emperor be nervous.Master Fu Heng, am I wrong?Fu Heng looked sad and did not speak.

Concubine Rong said softly again: I told the emperor that I don't like him, the emperor didn't believe me, but I never tell lies, you know.At the end, the voice dropped.Fu Heng still didn't speak, Concubine Rong remembered what happened in the morning, and said: From today on, I have to tell lies.But Master Fu Heng, Shen Bi will always be Fatima, and will always be the Fatima you know.

Fu Hengdao: You should forget that name, you are now the emperor's Concubine Rong, named Shen Bi.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Master Fu Heng, Shen Bi has not congratulated you on your wedding!Fu Heng smiled slightly and said: Thank you!Concubine Rong saw that he didn't want to talk about her own affairs, so she nodded and said, "Master Fu Heng, you're welcome, just tell the emperor what I said just now, and please tell him that my feet are healed after the mosque ceremony. I have to come every night.As he spoke, he walked out through the two open doors.Fu Heng looked at her back full of worry.

After Concubine Rong's sedan chair and her guard left, Fu Heng came out after a while, and Yue Bu immediately stepped forward to wait for his orders.Fu Hengdao: "I have checked everywhere, and there is nothing abnormal. I will tell the emperor about this matter. You will guard it strictly and pay close attention. If you have any news, report it to me immediately."Yue Bodao: Yes.Then he went into the temple, and the temple gate was closed again.

After lunch in Baoyue Tower, Caiyun wanted to serve Concubine Rong for a lunch break, but Concubine Rong asked her to get her white back suit and change it, then took the piano and sat down to play and sing:

I am a thousand year snow lotus

The beauty you gave is swaying in the wind

And you just a soft kiss

end my attachment to you

Looking up at the long snowy sky

take back my sad tears

The white petals are blown by the wind

The beauty of the past can only be recollected

I only want to be your snow lotus once in this life

Bloom the most beautiful buds for you

every time the snow falls

waiting to meet you in the next life

I only want to be your snow lotus once in this life

Bloom the most beautiful buds for you

Every time the flowers fade and the flowers fly

pleasant fragrance

Caiyun listened to her playing and singing repeatedly, she sang very sadly, felt sad in her heart, and shed tears. She often sang this song, knowing that she was thinking about him again.In fact, Concubine Rong's lyrics are not exactly the same every time, but Caiyun naturally doesn't know the difference.

Suddenly the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and she let out a long sigh.Then he got up and put the piano away, put his hands on the Qur'an on the table, and closed his eyes.The room was silent, Caiyun looked at her, and saw that her sorrow was gone and her face was peaceful.Then, Concubine Rong got up and took off her robe, and changed back into her daily palace attire. Now she has walked steadily on the bottom of the flower pot.Then she took out a note from a box on the dressing table, which said: He An Jichen, be careful.

Caiyun stepped forward, combed her hair, looked at the note at the same time, and said: Master, who gave this to you?Concubine Rong said: The two of them went to the mosque that day, and they said someone gave it to him. That person was a young Hui man. They said they didn't know each other, but the word was written by a woman.Caiyun thought for a while, and said: Oh, I just remembered, it was the day when the emperor came a few days ago.That day, we were talking about the death day, and the emperor came to tell you, but I don't know who this woman is.

Concubine Rong said: "She should be from outside the palace, but I don't know anyone outside the palace, who is this person, how can he remind me?"If it was outside the palace, how would she know about the anniversary of her death with Princess An?Caiyun said: Maybe it's someone from the palace, just to avoid trouble, I went outside the palace to give you news.Concubine Rong thought about it for a while, and thought about everyone's situation this morning. She couldn't tell who it was, but it must not be the Queen and Concubine Jia. : Concubine Qing brought the fifth elder brother to greet Concubine Rong.

After the two came in, Concubine Qing stepped forward happily, held her hand and said: "Great, it's good that my sister is fine!"Then, he said to a young man beside him, "Fifth elder brother, this is Concubine Rong, and you will call her Concubine Mu from now on."The young man immediately knelt down and said: Yongqi has seen Concubine Rong, please greet you.It was the first time Concubine Rong met Yong Qi formally, she smiled and said: Get up quickly.After Yongqi got up, Concubine Rong looked at him carefully, and saw that he was born with delicate features, round eyes, bright and energetic, he looked quite similar to the emperor, but his figure was thinner, his skin was fairer, and he was much more delicate.

Yong Qi was also looking at her, and saw that although she was wearing a palace dress, she still had a strange beauty, her face was shining, like the bright moon in the sky, but she had a pair of shy, innocent and drunken eyes, so she also smiled slightly, but Did not speak.Concubine Rong asked the two to sit down, thanked Concubine Qing first, and then said to Yongqi: Fifth elder brother, the emperor wants me to take care of you, I will definitely protect you, don't worry.Yong Qi said: Thank you, Yong Qi is fine.

Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Fifth Elder Brother has a big heart, he never cares about how others treat him, but I am worried about him."Concubine Rong nodded, since the emperor handed over the fifth elder brother to her to raise, she has been with Concubine Qing to know about the fifth elder brother's situation.Because she sprained her ankle after returning from the Old Summer Palace, the emperor ordered Concubine Qing to come to her Baoyue Tower from the palace, and Concubine Qing became familiar with Baoyue Tower.

The three of them chatted for a while, and when the tea fruit came, Concubine Rong put the Qur'an on the table beside the couch. The fifth elder brother saw a thick scripture book on the tea table early in the morning. He didn't know any words, but he knew it was a scripture of Islam, so he asked, "What scripture is this?"Concubine Rong smiled and said: This is the Holy Qur'an in our Ministry, and I still have a Chinese one.As he said that, he got up and went to the desk to get it and handed it to Yong Qi.

Yongqi looked at the three big characters of "Quran Quran" written on the cover, and when he opened it, he found that they were all Chinese characters. He turned a few pages and read softly: "Whoever follows the right way will benefit from it; Whoever goes astray suffers himself."Concubine Rong saw that what he was reading was exactly what she had said to the queen mother in the morning, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this child is really destined for her.Concubine Qing only looked at him with a smile on the side.Yongqi read again: "After we have turned into dry bones and dust, are we sure to be resurrected and become new people?"
