Twilight collected

It's bright and clear, the curtains of the emerald building are rolling, the yellow flowers are forbidden, and the Yao is built with leaves. It's a beautiful autumn palace.

The Xizui Pavilion also swept away its decline, and the scenery was completely new.Sitting surrounded by chrysanthemums, gold and jade, coral makeup mirrors, mica feather fans, the secluded palace in the past has become a palace of joy and warm pavilions.

Passing Cuiling, startled Shuhong, Hanxuan led Qingrui early in the morning, and brought all the palace people, all the way to Xizuixuan.

Lan Ze, dressed in lilac, was sitting in the hall.The crown of the mountain pillow left behind has been completed, and above the clouds, there are clusters of flowers, jade and pearls, which only teach the autumn scenery to also produce the spring glory.

Before Hanxuan entered the palace, a smile came first: "Your Majesty has something to say, this drunken Xuan Qiuai wants to change a residence for the empress, and I don't want the empress to refuse."

"This place is quiet and elegant, and I have lived here for half my life, so I don't want to live elsewhere. I can't let go of the few tea trees behind the house."

Hanxuan smiled and said: "This place is beautiful, and those few tea trees have the essence of heaven and earth. They are really treasures. I don't know if they will be lucky enough to have one in the coming year?"

Lan Ze calmly said: "No matter how high-quality goods it is, it can't compete with the tribute silver grate tea. It's an isolated species from the south, and it's worth a thousand gold. It's just that it has a unique charm. When it comes to hangover, I'm afraid it will lose to my wild tea. I heard people say that if you drink the silver grate tea with wine, you will be paralyzed and unable to move."

Hearing this sentence, Han Xuan had a plan secretly in his heart, his smile gradually faded, and he replied casually: "So that's how it is."

Seeing Hanxuan's expression, Lan Ze didn't want to say more, and instead asked: "Wai Xiao is here, what is your duty?"

"Your Majesty is going to give the congratulations. The congratulatory gifts from all the houses have arrived. Please have a look at them." Han Xuan bowed slightly, and Qing Rui led the palace crowd to line up the brocade boxes at the side of the hall.

Hanxuan accompanied Lanze to appreciate them one by one, after a while, he sat down again, took the teacup in Zhiyuan's hand, and said slowly: "At first glance, only the jade pendant of Fengqiuhuang is the most exquisite. It looks like a vulgar thing. It's just a fly in the ointment, it's too small, and it doesn't fit the status of the empress today."

Lan Ze's eyes turned, and Zhi Yuan took it and put it in his palm, but it was only the size of a peach pit.Lan Ze played with it carefully, only seeing the transparent blue color, flickering and shining.

"Then reward Zhiyuan. You have followed me for many years, and you have always been loyal and never complained. Now you are in charge of the first palace, and your appearance and dowry should not be eclipsed by others." Lan Ze smiled, and only said that The jade pendant was handed over to Zhiyuan.

Zhi Yuan took it with both hands, flattered, but whispered: "Thank you, Ma'am."

Lan Zeran said: "When Your Majesty came to the throne, you entered the palace to serve, but you were only eleven or twelve years old. For more than ten years, this palace has experienced humiliation, and you have been covered with thorns. You are willing to do so, but I understand in my heart that you have long since The heart of fallen leaves returning to their roots. You are still young, if you find a lover in the future, I will definitely marry you in a beautiful way, and you will have a happy life."

Zhiyuan was even more ashamed, and said in a low voice: "I dare not...but according to my mother's order..."

Han Xuan was also delighted, when he looked back, he saw one of the attendants in the palace, his eyes were shining brightly, staring straight at the face of Zhiyuan jade, like a pool of spring water in a green pool, with a secret love.Han Xuan felt that he didn't know how he felt in front of Ren An that day.

Seeing Hanxuan's awareness, the man bowed his head in embarrassment, his face turned red.Hanxuan's thoughts turned secretly, and he said to Zhiyuan: "If you don't want to give up your mother, you can also be assigned a high position in the palace, live in the outer court, and enter the palace to serve in order."

Seeing that Zhi Yuan's ears were red, Lan Ze couldn't bear to make fun of her, and said softly, "Put this thing away, there will be a reward in the future."

Han Xuan also changed the topic: "I don't know if Zhiyuan knows the purpose of this 'Feng Qiuhuang'?"

Zhiyuan shook her head lightly, slow in speaking.Hanxuan then said: "'The emperor, the emperor, comes from me, and I have to entrust her tail to be a concubine forever.' It is the words of yearning for Junlang. The love of children is strong, and they resist all opinions. They elope at night together, talking about a period of romance. .”

"My lord is well-read and knowledgeable, I respect you." Lan Ze changed his tone, "Then does this mean giving and receiving privately? I'm afraid it's not suitable to wear it with you."

"Times have changed, but it's just a matter of good intentions, so there's no need to worry about it." Han Xuan explained, "It's easy to keep it."

The two of them just sip tea and watch the fragrant foliage surround the palace, the ground is green and red, the autumn light passes through the house, and the emerald crown and pearl bun shine on the bare hands like jade, which is full of warmth.

Lan Ze said casually: "I heard that King Ji Ji has already killed Mount Xian and is setting up camp. We only need to wait for the food and grass to be ready. Soon we will fight against Xuanshui? If Xuanshui can be broken, the capital will be in jeopardy."

Han Xuan sipped the fragrant tea lightly, but said in an ordinary tone: "My wife has entered Beijing as a hostage, and King Hengji has worries about the future. I am afraid that it will be difficult to concentrate on fighting the enemy and pass the news of victory."

"King Jiji's two strong generals, the Sicheng family is mature and prudent, and the Xiao family is a young hero. Thinking about it, it will be a hard battle."

Hanxuan smiled wryly: "In recent years, the national treasury has been empty. It is not as good as the soldiers over there. They have enough food and food. They are at a disadvantage. The military pay is tight, and the palace is also implicated. I plan hard every day, but I am still unable to do what I want. I am stretched."

"I know my lord clearly. There are many accounts in the palace, and there are many gaps, so my lord will make up for it with private funds. Now that my life is going well, I should help you a lot." Lan Ze turned to Zhi Yuan, "Last time The king sent twelve pairs of gold hairpins, I always love jasper, and don't like gold ornaments, so let the master of the palace use them to subsidize the family."

Zhi Yuan responded and moved into the warehouse.When he got up, he saw that his skin was as thick as snow, his waist and limbs were like willows, and his clothes were flying like clouds, which made people sigh.

"The empress is kind, but the subject is disrespectful." Han Xuan also said sideways, "Qing Rui will follow."

Qing Rui's actions were dull, but he followed closely.

Zhiyuan walked fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Qing Rui didn't come to Xizuixuan very often, so he didn't know the direction for a while, just groped step by step, turned around the corridor, and headed towards the apse.

He walked a few steps, but looked at the corner of the corridor, and there was something shining and shining on the ground.

Qing Rui stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that it was the "Phoenix Seeking for the Phoenix", Qiong Yao's radiance, exquisite and translucent.Qingrui's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he stepped forward silently, picked up the jade pendant, put it on the tip of his nose, and seemed to smell a little fragrance.He hesitated for a moment, but finally hid it in his sleeve, and then went to the errand.

When he got to the back hall and saw a door open, he knew that Zhiyuan was here. Qingrui calmed down and thought deeply, and entered it.

Zhiyuan was searching up and down, searching among the boxes.Qing Rui stood blankly by the door, feeling a little shy.

"You want to leave the palace?"

Unexpectedly, Qingrui made a sudden remark, and Zhiyuan also lost her mind, she just nodded slightly, not daring to answer.

"Are you missing your family?" Qing Rui tried his best to ask.

Zhiyuan was even more shy, she covered her expression slightly, she didn't dare to look at Qingrui, she turned her back and said: "I have been in the Shenfu Palace for many years, and I also want to live a free life."

Qing Rui heard the words and murmured: "Yes, not to mention the palace rules and etiquette, even this pair of shackles is so difficult..."

Zhiyuan didn't want to answer any more, so she put a brocade box on the shelf beside Qingrui, she just ran away quickly and ran away from the door.

Since returning from Xizuixuan, Hanxuan is just tired of ordinary official duties and has nothing to say for a day.When we saw Qing Rui again, it was already nightfall.

Twilight is late, the setting sun is like blood.The jackdaw crows late, and the red clouds fly alone.

In the setting sun, Hanxuan was holding the key in Yujin Pavilion to let him go.After being in the palace for a long time, Hanxuan no longer shy away from it, Qingrui beside him held the plate, on which there were only locks and keys, all of which were engraved with their names.The people in the palace stood solemnly, not daring to look at Han Xuan, Han Xuan knew that he was shy, so he opened the shackles one by one without any disturbance on his face.

Goodbye to people's privacy, Han Xuan has no reverie.However, recalling a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" that "the essence is the ultimate", even if there is desire, it is also human nature.How can I criticize others if I am not extraordinary and free from vulgarity.

But the face is like still water, but in my heart I often think of the tenderness of the sky in the Rouke Pavilion that night.

After the matter was over, the palace people put on their tight clothes and left briskly.Han Xuan walked out of the pavilion, only a smear of dark red remained in the twilight, making his complexion even more pale.After only a few steps, Hanxuan was exhausted, he only supported Zhiyu, leaned against the porch, closed his eyes with his forehead.

Seeing this, Qing Rui stepped forward and asked, "Are you all right, sir?"

Hanxuan braced himself up, and said weakly: "Your Majesty is going to have a banquet at the concubine Yun's place tonight. My seat in the Xizui Pavilion has not been set up yet, but I have some bad luck and feel unwell. Qingrui, it is no longer good for you to act beside this seat." Day and night, I can trust you. Go and take care of me first, and then go to Xizuixuan to return to my orders after I get better." After saying that, he put the key in Qing Rui's hand.

Qing Rui replied "yes", and Dezhi Yu helped Hanxuan to go to the palace secretary.In front of the Yujin Pavilion, Qing Rui stood quietly for a long time, his steps froze, hesitating to wait and see for a while, but he finally entered the pavilion.

Qingrui didn't know that Hanxuan hadn't gone far, and was in a place where there was no one, so he saw it clearly.

Zhi Yu was puzzled, and asked Han Xuan in a low voice: "My lord, this is..."

"Let him go, as long as I return his father's favor, it is also helping me to succeed." Han Xuan said lightly, "I just don't want that Nuanxiang Qiqiao to be so powerful."

The two intentionally avoided Qing Rui and wandered towards Beiyuan for a moment.Seeing the moon rising from Dongshan Mountain, I slowly went to Xizuixuan.

The moon is high and the curtain is rolled up, and the graceful Jinping is opened.On a good night in Qingqiu, there is a feast in Chengjing. On the banquet, there is a jade pot with clear wine, and the cups and cups are intertwined.There is also a king Fen Dai, smiling and laughing, a harmonious scene.

There are too many wine tours, and it's time to watch the third watch.Except for Lan Ze, most of them are accompanied by concubines in the palace.The emperor was drunk and accidentally broke the wine cup in his hand.Lan Ze supported the emperor with one hand, and said to Zhi Yuan, "Your Majesty had a great time today. There is a glazed autumn smoke cup in the treasury, which was brought in by King Ju Zou, and he brought it quickly."

Zhiyuan nodded and went away, Hanxuan covered her sleeves to drink alone, in the corner of her eyes, she saw Qingrui beside her, also avoiding the appearance of others, and quietly left the palace pavilion.

Outside the emerald screen and silver lights, the sound of gnats gradually subsided. In front of the mossy and smoky trees, a Hanxuan towered under the eaves, only to see the two clear shadows, and turned to the corridor, hidden in the night.

Han Xuan followed closely behind, and entered the backyard, saw a door half closed, and there was a faint voice inside the door.

A person's voice was filled with fear, and he said in horror: "What do you want to do?"

Another person said belatedly: "You once said that you don't want to have any more shackles, so I brought the key."

"Why did I ever want you to do this?" The other side said anxiously, "You know, if someone finds out about stealing the key, it will be a felony for you and me. Don't make me fall into injustice."

"Didn't you keep that jade pendant and ask me to come here at midnight?"

"That jade pendant is still in my room, don't make false accusations."

I was at a loss for words here, and after a moment of stupefaction, I said: "But I love you, and I want to go out of the shackles with you, and live some free days..."

"Let go, my lord! My lord..."

Hearing the secret cry, Han Xuan pushed the door open and entered, his face frosty.But the two people in front of them turned pale with shock, froze in place, and only recovered after a while, kneeling in front of Han Xuan.

Zhiyuan's clothes are messy and her face is clear.And Qing Rui's face was flushed, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.The door was half open, and a beam of moonlight fell down, only illuminating Han Xuan's figure in a chilly way.

"Qing Rui, it's in vain that I trust you so much." Han Xuan said lightly, his brows furrowed with anger, and the other two were even more terrified.

Qing Rui couldn't speak for a long time, a sudden breeze blew up his brain, and the six gods returned to their positions, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Today's big mistake is all the fault of one of my subordinates, Zhiyuan was only threatened by my subordinates. He is really innocent, I hope your lord will see clearly."

"Fortunately, I ran into it for this seat, otherwise I don't know where the two of you will be buried."

Han Xuan said slowly, if the two of them met with an amnesty, Zhi Yuan would be weeping blindly, Qing Rui only said earnestly: "Thank you for your magnanimity, my servant will definitely go through fire and water in the future to repay your lord's kindness."

Han Xuan said noncommittally: "Lock the things and return the key to me."

The two adjusted their clothes slightly, and stood in front of Hanxuan. Hanxuan saw that the faces of the two were pale, and Zhiyuan's wrists were still a little bruised, and he said earnestly: "If you want to, you can present it to me privately. In the future, I will go back to Empress Yun and marry her. You have disregarded kindness and righteousness, secretly stole the key, and your intentions are frivolous, and you will push the two of you to a place where there will be no redemption!"

"Why bother to go back to Concubine Yun in the future, it would be better if I pointed it out today." Hearing a chuckle from outside the door, all three of them were shocked. Smile, come slowly.

"I don't want my mother to have a sense of elegance, so come to the back hall to have a look." Han Xuan's expression remained the same, he didn't salute, and he was about to fight to the death.

"Leading the palace to listen to the wall, such a pleasure, how can I not accompany you, who knows that after being a oriole, I have heard so many anecdotes." The concubine Xiu smiled more and more, and said, "But I don't know the leader. The palace is so powerful, and such filthy and unruly things have been covered up by you in a few words. From this point of view, there is still no one knows how many filthy things in this palace have been treated by you, Lei Hanxuan."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. The palace people are tired and lazy, and the minister admonishes the palace people, how can it be a matter of life?"

"The stubbornness of the palace, it's better to keep it. Concubine Yun's palace chief and the subordinates of the palace have committed adultery. If you don't believe me, you might as well search and check her body. Is there any sign of love?" Concubine Xiu The light in his eyes turned, and he looked at Hanxuan again, "Even the palace leader, you carry a maid with a key on your body, don't you know if it's in compliance with the rules?"

Hearing Concubine Xiu's words, Qing Rui threw herself at his feet, sweating like rain, and said earnestly: "Madam, please hold your hand high, I am willing to accept the punishment myself, and please don't blame others, Madam."

Concubine Xiu was even more arrogant: "I'm full of lust, why are you pretending to be a loyal and filial man at this moment? You must die, and you still care about others?"

"What exactly is it that you want my concubine to complain here?"

At this time, when the words came, even the concubine Xiu also changed his color.

I saw Lan Ze holding the emperor's arm behind him, walking towards him slowly.

Seeing this, Hanxuan turned his face, and knelt down on the ground with a sad face: "Your Majesty is not strict in governing the palace, so that I made a big mistake today, and please forgive me."

When Lan Ze saw it, he also agreed, and knelt down on one side: "Your servant is also incapable of restraint, and his virtues are deficient. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Qing Rui was even more troublesome: "It's the fault of the guilty minister alone. I invite you to go down to the Nine Nether Pillars, and you will never be able to stand up again. I hope that Your Majesty will learn from you, so that your lord and empress will not suffer innocently."

The emperor's face was deep and he didn't say a word.In the drunken eyes, there is a wave of ignorance.

Seeing the emperor's silence, Concubine Xiu said sharply: "The two of you are having sex here, stealing the lock and key, and communicating with each other. It's really treasonous. But the palace leader wanted to cover it up and cover it up. He acted so boldly and deceived the king. Your Majesty must not let it go lightly."

The emperor finally opened his mouth and murmured, "Leading Palace, why don't you deal with it fairly, instead you want to cover it up cunningly?"

Han Xuan regained his composure, and said: "I can't bear it."

"Can't bear it?"

"It's not that I can't bear the lives of the two of you, but I can't bear the situation."

Speaking of this, Concubine Xiu hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is really powerful, such an utterly immoral thing, yet His Excellency embellishes it, as if the filth has become a romantic affair."

Hanxuan didn't pay any attention to it, and just lowered his head and said: "Your servant is coming to the Xizui Hall tonight, passing by the Buguan Pavilion. I don't feel a sigh in my heart, it's hard to hold back."

Concubine Xiu wanted to speak violently again, but the emperor's eyes widened, he only stopped him, and said flatly: "Speak up."

"'There are love and infatuation in the world, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.' The most rare thing in the world is the word 'love'. Your Majesty has a deep love for Concubine Yuan. A pavilion that is not closed is a testimony. Why not close the pavilion She is still there, but the beautiful woman has died. Your majesty has pursued her until now, and since she knew about it, the rules and regulations of the palace have long been ignored. "This feeling can be remembered, but it was already at a loss at that time." Your majesty is a person who has experienced it, and I feel the pain. The two of them never made peace in the forbidden area, but they just wanted to go away freely without shackles. In the end, it was just a crime of escaping the palace privately, so they had to be executed if they didn’t pollute the palace.”

The emperor was silent for a long time, his complexion was pale, under the clear light, the little blushes turned into sad shadows.

"It's not Concubine Yuan, it's Empress Yuande."

Everyone immediately understood the importance of it.

Hanxuan was delighted, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue and said, "I would like to exchange the lives of the two of you with the position of leader of the palace. Please let your Majesty let the two go, it is also letting go of this situation."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Since you have violated the palace rules, it is fine if you are not a person in the palace. The two of you will be demoted to common people and expelled from the palace. Where is Fengyue?"

Qing Rui kowtowed repeatedly, shouting "Holy Grace is mighty".Behind her, Zhiyuan, although she didn't say anything, she also bowed gracefully.

Seeing the sudden turn of the situation, Concubine Xiu was rather unwilling, and said softly: "There are always mistakes in leading the palace."

Lan Ze stepped forward, took the emperor's arm lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to listen to my concubine's words?"

When the emperor saw that he was so charming, he also smiled and said, "Just tell me."

"Your Excellency is lenient today. If you don't receive punishment, you may not be able to gain authority. In the future, if the people in the palace follow suit, they will become more presumptuous and will harm the state affairs. For today's affairs, it is advisable to punish them with minor punishments and to punish them with half a year's salary and fasting behind closed doors." Practice penance for ten days."

"That's it." The emperor said lightly, then turned and left.

On a good night and autumn moon, the emperor did not return to the banquet, but was alone, and returned to sleep alone in the Dechi Hall.

Perhaps this hatred, like Fengyue, is always there.
