Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

The queen mother said: "She will never."Concubine Shu didn't understand what she meant, and the Queen Mother didn't explain, she just sighed.Concubine Shu said again: What about Concubine Rong's younger sister?The Empress Dowager said: "It's useless for Shen Bi to say it."Concubine Shu didn't even understand that Concubine Rong didn't work, and Wei Yingluo had to say it to be useful, but she understood why the Empress Dowager would tell herself such important things as the previous court.

The queen mother called Ali Gun again, and wanted him to persuade the emperor, so Ali Gun knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he was really speechless, and it might be useful for Fu Heng to speak.The queen mother knew that Ali Gun didn't want to get involved in this mess, but what he said was good, so she sighed again.After Ali Gon left, Nanny Liu was a little angry, and said: Why doesn't the emperor understand your mood!

The Empress Dowager sighed, and while slowly turning the beads, she said: Hongli, this child, is still too suspicious.Forcing the palace to collect money is a big deal... It's just that this slap can't be slapped. I have lived in peace for so many years. I really didn't expect that Hong Zhou would really take the risk.Those people didn’t move because they couldn’t move. Fu Heng knew Hong Zhou’s every move, not to mention those people, they must have released smoke at the same time. To confirm his 'conspiracy'.The evidence is so strong that so many people saw it that day, even if the emperor wanted to appease him, he couldn't do it.Then he shook his head again, and said: "Na Lashi has left himself alone, and Hong Zhou will be even more troublesome...

Only then did Grandma Liu understand, and said: That's how it is.You are right, that is a poisonous woman.But you have shown the utmost benevolence and righteousness to Prince He. This servant has never forgotten that Mrs. Wen Shu's letter was given to the Emperor by him, and he and the Empress are of the same heart.You also spoke nice words for him in front of the emperor before.Even if Concubine Yu is alive, can she still have the face to beg you?This is also retribution with the prince.The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Brothers are at odds, it's always a bad thing."Seeing how pitiful Wu Deya was, I couldn't bear it... Then I looked at Nanny Liu and smiled, and said, "The empress is not behind what happened to Yongxuan, but who can believe it?"But don't forget, she still has a son.Nanny Liu also lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Didn't you always say that Brother Twelve is honest and honest."The queen mother nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Over the years, under the tutelage of his master, Gu Qin behaves elegantly, advances and retreats appropriately, reads and writes, and cooks good tea.Lively and fragrant on the stage, with affectionate eyebrows, and cleansing the lead under the stage without applying makeup, Yingluo laughed and said that she has become a lady of the big family.Every time the emperor came to stay, he felt comfortable physically and mentally.In Chunheyuan, she lived alone in Changhetang, a small island close to the west gate. It is in the south of Lvmanxuan, surrounded by water, elegant and secluded. It is a good place for tea tasting, and she also transplanted two pear trees. Tree.

A large "Pear Blossom Picture" by the Song Dynasty is hung on the Mingjian Hall.Without any background, the branches, leaves and flowers are all light in color, with double hooks of thin lines. The pear blossoms are warm and crystal clear, mellow and peaceful, with a kind of transparent sincerity, a kind of clearness, mellowness, peace, harmony, delicate and tough, pure and quiet As for Jierun, there is no trace of anger, dryness, domineering, stinginess, flattery, vulgarity, and absolutely no pity, but Yushu Linfeng's chic and cool, "Miao Gu shot The Immortal of the Mountain" is similar to the common people.This painting was chosen by Yingluo, but it was actually chosen by Fu Heng.

The emperor's imperial pen, Jia Dao's "Suburban Immediate Events", is hung on the wall behind the couch in the sitting room in the west room, because the two often drink tea here——

Living in this garden for a long time, it is not like home.

Ye Shu conveys wild ideas, and boils Hu tea in the eaves.

After the rain, when you meet a heron, you can listen more deeply to the distant frog.

Nature is still inside, most of them love haze.

On the wall opposite the couch is "A Dream in the Garden", a woman in purple shirt lying on a vermilion chair lying on the table with inlaid flowers, as if suddenly awakened.The emperor wrote the imperial inscription "Wandering in the Garden and Awakening Dreams" in big characters, and then wrote a whole paragraph of libretto from "The Peony Pavilion" in small characters:

[Swim around the pool] Dreaming back to the warbler, the chaos is everywhere.There are small courtyards and deep courtyards.The smoke is exhausted, and the broken embroidery thread is thrown away, so this spring is like last year?Xiao came to look at the plum pass, and the makeup was left behind.Your sideways Yichun bun just leans against the railing.The cutting is constant, the reason is still chaotic, and it is boring for no reason.It has been distributed to urge Yingyan to take advantage of spring to watch. [Bubujiao] Qingqing silk blows to the courtyard, shaking the spring like a thread.Stop for a while, and make flowers.No water chestnut flower, stealing half of someone's face, and the colorful clouds that are meandering and funny. [Drunk Fugui] Your green dress is full of flowers, and the flower hairpins are filled with eight treasures. You can know that my love is nature all my life.No one sees the benefits of just three springs.If you don't be wary of the noise of the sinking fish, geese and birds, you will be afraid of the shy flowers closing the moon and trembling.

In the bedroom, there is "Cherry" from Castiglione's "Changchun Atlas of Immortal Calyx", red cherries, and two yellow-billed magpies perched on the branches, one up and one down, staring at each other, with blue wings shining The light reflects the tranquility of the years.Yingluo told Fu Heng that the emperor hung it for his biological mother, Mrs. Qian.

In Changhe Hall, from the furniture to the furnishings to the utensils, all the gifts from the imperial court were replaced. Yingluo's favorite is a pair of phoenix crowns strung with glass beads, which were originally used on the stage of the Ming Palace and were given to her as decorations.The phoenix crown is shaped like a folding fan, decorated with strings of glass beads and emerald emeralds, with rows of tassels hanging on the left and right, and a row of short tassels hanging behind the crown, which is complicated and beautiful.There is also a dragon xun bestowed by the emperor with red oil and gold lacquer, which is also gorgeous in color. Because the emperor wanted her to blow the xun, Yingluo invited a master to teach her.The timbre of the Xun is deep and soft, and it sounds lyrical at night.After moving into the Chunhe Garden on the opposite side of the street, Dongsuo was the main residential area, and she lived in a small courtyard behind the Westsuo, far away from everyone.

Lu Wenhong has no official position in the palace because of his special errands, but he is not only a consultant for Nanfu’s teaching staff, but also has a high status in the Harmony Department. His family’s residence in Nancheng was also bought by Yingluo for him back then. The rewards received by the mansion, the emperor, Concubine Rong and Yujingyuan, including Prince Rong's mansion, were much higher than his salary. His two sons are now working as managers in Nanfu.In these years, Lu Wenhong personally wrote the excerpt of "Pansidong" according to Yingluo's request. Every time Aisha and his wife come together, they must watch "The Kingdom of Daughters" and "Pansidong". Can't stop laughing.

Lu Wenhong also followed the emperor's decree and rehearsed for Gu Qin the complete version of Hong Sheng's "The Palace of Eternal Life", a total of fifty plays.The costumes of the protagonist are made by Yingluo and masters of weaving and embroidery, including the emperor, first discussing the costumes, and then Fu Heng instructs the weaving and embroidery of the palace manufacturing office to make them, including Yang Guifei's, Tang Minghuang's, Gao Lishi's, Guo (guo2) country Madam's, using the weaving techniques of Song Brocade and Yuan Dynasty Nashishi, is exquisitely carved and beautiful.

The big scene on the stage was really "[Crying for Acacia] A hundred years of parting is in a moment, and a generation of beauties will be exhausted for the king"!The emperor never taught public performance.As Gu Qin is getting older, she has become a woman again and is no longer a girl. She plays Concubine Yang Guifei with smooth skin, coquettish physique, and beautiful appearance.

Every time I sing "Buried Jade" in this section, "My concubine Yang Yuhuan, thank you for your grace. I will never see you again. My sage, I will die under Huangquan if I die, and my soul will only stand next to Huangquan. Flag", the emperor would cry, Concubine Yingluo Rong and Li Yu both knew that the emperor missed Concubine Gao and the former empress, and Concubine Rong would look at the emperor with tears in her eyes.And every time Fu Heng went back to his room after watching it, he would cry. Yingluo always hugged him, deliberately not mentioning sister Rongyin, just joking: You are such a good pair of monarchs and ministers!Fu Henghui said sadly: A hundred years of parting is just a moment away, and a generation of beauties will be exhausted for the king!So Yingluo would also have tears in her eyes, and sighed, "Speak to all the foolish people in the world."

That year, after Concubine Rong told Yingluo the emperor's thoughts about Concubine Gao and Concubine Wu, because Concubine Gao sang an excerpt from "The Drunken Concubine Yang", which was a scene when the concubine was drunk, Yingluo taught Lu Wenhong to arrange that part for Gu Qin Excerpts are only watched by the emperor.Gu Qin told him that every time he sang "Drunk Concubine Yang", the emperor must drink and cry, and said emotionally, "Besides the concubine, who else is in love?"

The second year after "The Palace of Eternal Life" was completed, the emperor gave Concubine Rong a mother-of-pearl rectangular platform and two bowls with patterns as a New Year gift.The mother-of-pearl rectangular platform is inlaid with the picture of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan's vows at His Royal Highness Changsheng's Qixi Festival. The pavilions and palaces are dense with pines and cypresses, flowers are blooming like brocade, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. Seven days in the Hall of Eternal Life, in the middle of the night when no one is whispering."

The bowl is a yellow agate bowl made by the first emperor. The natural texture is like the ripples of the autumn water. The luxury and elegance of the flourishing dynasty, more auspicious and happy wishes.Concubine Rong placed it on the kang in the sitting room of Hanyuan Hall in Yingtai, and put the two bowls facing each other on it.

One day in the twelfth lunar month, after the emperor came, he talked with Yingluo alone for a while, and at night, he told Gu Qin that he was going to tour the south early next year, and decided to take her there, and asked her to stop taking medicine and have a baby.Gu Qin was taken aback, and immediately knelt down and said, "No, no, your majesty, servants don't want children, and you can't go on a southern tour. It's not that Gu Qin doesn't want to serve the emperor. If the queen mother and other empresses in the palace find out, you will be in too much trouble." up.The emperor was moved, pulled her up, and asked: Don't you think about yourself?Gu Qin smiled and said: You have always been very kind to the servant, what else can the servant consider?

The emperor sighed and said nothing.Gu Qin said: Your majesty, you are a very good person, a very good man. Gu Qin was very happy that he chose this path at that time. The slaves are not wronged. The slaves like to sing. I am very grateful to the emperor. Don't worry about me.In fact, in my heart, I don't regard you as the emperor, I really feel very happy.The emperor looked at her, hesitant to speak.Gu Qin didn't know why, so he helped him wash up.After going to bed, the emperor still didn't speak.

Gu Qin said: Your Majesty, why did you suddenly change your mind and want Fei Yao to have a child?The emperor closed his eyes and said, "I don't like stealing and stealing. You have served me well, and you should have had the title you deserved long ago."Gu Qin hurriedly said: It's all because of Feiyao, it's Feiyao who made things difficult for you.But Your Majesty, if Feiyao really has a child, she will no longer be able to live here to serve you. Xiao Xi gave birth to a child out of wedlock, how will Yujing Garden explain it internally and externally?How can I be worthy of my lord and madam if my reputation is ruined?

The emperor said nothing.Gu Qin continued: Your Majesty, so Feiyao doesn't want children, and Feiyao wants to be with you.The emperor said: What if you are still with me?Gu Qin was very surprised, never thought of this, and said: You mean to raise the child elsewhere?Not to mention Feiyao, that is your child, how can you rest assured?The emperor only said: I will arrange it.

Gu Qin suddenly felt happy, and immediately a baby appeared in front of his eyes, the child of himself and the emperor!So she hugged the emperor and said: If that's the case, Feiyao is willing.However, you must promise me that when the child is born, the servants will come back here and continue to serve you, just like now.The emperor saw that she was very infatuated, and his heart was filled with emotion. He thought of his biological mother again, hugged her and said: "Okay, I promise you!"

After that, Gu Qin didn't take medicine anymore, but the emperor didn't come very often, so after three months, she was still not pregnant. She was not in a hurry, but she felt that the emperor cared a lot.Towards the end of the year, the arrangements for the southern tour were all arranged, so Gu Qin and Yujingyuan's theater troupe went south along the canal by boat as planned, and arrived in Suzhou first.

The fourth elder brother stayed in the clan's mansion and was served by someone, but he didn't have personal freedom, so he started to study.Over the past few months, I have read a lot of books, and my heart has calmed down a lot. I think of many things my uncle Jin Jian said, and I think they are very reasonable.

On this day, Yongqi suddenly came to see him.He was very surprised and didn't want to see him at first, but the servant said that Yong Qi would not leave and he must see him, so he agreed.Yongqi saw that he was quite haggard, with loose hair and unshaved beard, she felt sore, and said: "Fourth Brother, I'll come and see you, it's cold, this is a mink jacket."Yongxie saw that he was holding a stone blue satin sable fur coat in his hand, and he was wearing the same stone blue satin sable fur coat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for repaying grievances with virtue, but now I am no longer a prince, so I can't wear sables." Dai Qiu, take it back.You don't want to see me to give me a leather jacket, do you?

Yongqi put the jacket aside, sat down, and said, "Fourth brother, I still remember that year when we were still at elder brother's place, you borrowed the Quran, but it's a pity that you didn't read it for long."Yongqi will bring you a copy today.Yongxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: Take it away!Yongqi didn't understand, so she said: "This is a new book I sent someone to buy in Huihuiying, and the clan's house has checked it, so don't worry, fourth brother."Yong Xie felt relieved, it turned out that if it wasn't Yong Qi's book, then it wasn't Rong Concubine's book.But he didn't want to look at it either, so he said, "Leave it alone."

Yong Qi nodded, took out the scriptures from the bag, put them on the low table, and said sincerely: Fourth brother, let's not talk about the past again.You are always my fourth brother, and we are both Huang Ama's sons.Huang Ama was only angry for a while, after a while, when his anger subsides, Yongqi will plead for you and let you go out.If you make up for your mistakes, Huang Ama will definitely restore your title.

Yong Xie laughed and said: Yong Qi, you are really magnanimous, but Huang Ama treats me not you.Yongqi shook her head and said softly: Allah is the light of heaven and earth. His light is like a lampstand. Auspicious olive oil burns that lamp... its oil, even if it is unlit, almost glows—light on top of light—and God guides whomever He wills to His light.This is exactly the sentence Concubine Rong read for him a few years ago.

Yongxuan asked: What are you talking about?Yongqi smiled and said: This is the words in the "Quran", fourth brother, read it when you have time, it is really a lot of philosophy.Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty said, "Although Confucianism can develop things into things, it is not enough to be poor and deified."The study of Buddhism and Laos is similar to poor deification and cannot return to life.Because all religions have their own biases, only the teaching of halal confession is deeply rooted in righteousness, so it can be used for a long time.” This is unavoidably biased, but there are indeed many good sentences in the Qur’an .For example, this sentence, "Allah guides whomever he wills to his light", as long as we want to get close to the light, we will get the light.Seeing the pious gentleness on his face, Yongxie was suddenly bewitched, and also said: "Allah guides whomever He wills to His light."

At this time, it was the second day after Yuzhou arrived in Gusu, Concubine Rong took the opportunity of going out of the palace to have fun, and brought Gu Qin into the palace dressed as a court lady.When the emperor saw Gu Qin, Gu Qin's eyes were full of tears, and he bowed down. Concubine Rong pursed her lips and smiled, then left the room and returned to her east wing.

That night, Gu Qin felt that the emperor had the enthusiasm after the farewell, and understood that the emperor wanted her to have a son, and was very moved.Before dawn the next day, she put on the maid's clothes and was quietly sent back to the troupe by Duo Luo.

There is a short story about "Guofu Jimeng": According to legend, Nurhachi dreamed of the first The two-day battle will be victorious. When he got up in the morning, he told the people around him about the dream, and everyone said it was an auspicious dream. As a result, the battle was indeed a victory, and everyone clapped and danced happily, and cheered, "Guofu Jimeng The four characters "Guofu Jimeng" mean "Sure enough, it fits Nurhachi's auspicious dream". Nurhachi attaches great importance to the establishment and development of court music and dance, and also retains the original Manchu music with self-entertainment and improvisation. Dance. The origin of the dance comes from the music and dance of the Manchu ancestors.

[North Korean great haiku] haiku (pai2), which refers to miscellaneous dramas and comic dramas in ancient times.The palace music and dance in Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty was divided into team dance, ladies' music and dance, Varka music and dance, Korean haiku, 抃 dance, Baixi and so on.The music and dance of Korean Dahai and Varkabu are foreign music and dance, which are the worship and tribute of other peoples to the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a means for the Qing Dynasty to consolidate other peoples.It not only played the role of pleasing viewers, but also had a strong political color.Korean Dahai, also known as Korean National Haiku, is a dance with national characteristics from North Korea. It is mainly somersaulting movements, and at the same time it is cheerful and skillful.It was originally a dance introduced to the court of the Later Jin Dynasty by the rulers of the Later Jin Dynasty to express the establishment of friendly relations with North Korea.The performance time of Korean great haiku is about 10 minutes, and the performance of continuous technical skills and somersaults for 10 minutes does require a lot of effort.This is why the Korean Dahaihui has always existed in the background of the court banquets and dances in the Qing Dynasty.
