Twilight collected

The Hanxuan in the palace was being greeted and congratulated by the palace crowd, the concubines and concubines had lost interest early, and each brought their maids out of the main hall.And Hanxuan's attention-grabbing people are on this list.

The Si people walked at the end, when they came out of the hall, they saw a group of fans and daisies gathered in the courtyard, and they didn't disperse, so they wanted to find out.Tiptoe to look, only to see that behind the pearls and emeralds, there is a little candle flame.He understood in his heart that it was for sleeping.

Every day at night, the Linggong sent a series of copper lamps into the sleeping hall.Its lamp shape is like a flower tree, and each lamp is lit with a flower candle, with the name of the concubine on it.If the emperor wanted to be lucky with someone, he would blow out the candle flame, and this person would be accompanied by Mu En.

At this time, the emperor had already entered the sleeping hall, and Concubine Yangui was still crying in the hall because of the matter just now.The leader of the palace is an old man with a dragon bell, his beard and hair are all white, he is holding on to the copper lamp tremblingly, waiting outside the door.And all the concubines only surrounded him.Among the crowd, smoke and fire lingered, which made the old man's forehead drenched with sweat.

Among the crowd, the leader was Concubine Xiu, with a pair of phoenix eyes flying around, she folded a flower candle while speaking, and said to everyone: "Recently, the weather is out of control, and my palace occasionally suffers from a little illness. I am afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill the holy will. There is good news, and there is a new rich man, so we should bother the sisters and go to cheer for His Majesty."

"I think it's because of the unusual cold and heat, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to serve you." Seeing the concubine Xiu like this, there were several concubines, and a few candles were extinguished.

But a few times away, the maid next to the person immediately understood the situation, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, tonight the noble concubine sees the sinner, if someone takes the opportunity to invite favors at this time, I may come to Japan to arouse people's suspicion and offend the noble concubine. It's even worse."

The Sri Lankan nodded slightly, and walked a few steps forward, also wanting to say that he was sick and please go home, not to get involved in right and wrong.

When they squeezed to the front of the palace, the lights on the flower tree had been half-extinguished, only a few scattered lights remained.Qi Fang wanted to reach out to take his own candle, but he stretched out a jade hand and firmly grasped his bright wrist.

"Sister Yunyuan, the sisters in the palace are often exposed to wind and cold recently, why are you not spared?" Concubine Xiu smiled cleverly and pressed Yunyuan's slender hand down.

"The concubine is already weak, so I'll make my mother laugh." Yun Yuan lowered her head timidly, not daring to make a slight movement.

"You have been idle for many years, and you have worked harder than me and others, and you have not been rested." Concubine Xiu's eyes brightened, "Besides, you have not met the Holy Spirit for a long time, so this opportunity must not be missed. If His Majesty favors you, the times will turn around, and you will no longer need to be at the bottom of the ranks for many years." gone."

"Concubine..." Yun Yuan didn't know how to respond, her face was reddish, she was at a loss for words.

However, Concubine Xiu gave a sly smile: "You should understand that there is a difference in honor and inferiority in the palace. To share my worries, it is my palace who gives you face."

After finishing speaking, the emperor in the hall roared angrily: "You don't need to say more, I know what's in my heart, let's go back to your palace and think about it!"

Seeing the palace guards lift the door lightly, Concubine Yan's beaded hairpin is slanted, she is ashamed and angry, and leaves the palace dejectedly.Seeing this, everyone restrained their faces and held their breath, bent down to salute, and there was no sound for a while.

Behind Concubine Yangui, the emperor raised his voice again: "Lead the palace!"

The old man walked very slowly, holding a palace lantern, and entered the hall.The rest of the courtyard full of fans and daisies are walking on thin ice, not daring to move lightly.

Concubine Xiu was the head of the rest, seeing that the two sides were at loggerheads, she cautiously comforted her and said: "Looking at the palace, His Majesty loves Your Majesty the most. I'm afraid there is something wrong with today's matter. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. When the truth comes out in the future, Your Majesty Then you will know that the empress is loyal."

Concubine Yangui's expression was a little slow, she was supported by Luyan, stepped down the steps of the palace, and said calmly: "After all, you have been with me for many years, and you are a little more sensible."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a knock at the door, leading the palace out of the palace, his expression was plain and it was difficult to discern his intentions, so everyone in the courtyard was terrified.

The palace leader's eyes slowly shifted to Yunyuan, and said humbly: "Miss Yunyuan, please go back to the palace to take a bath, and prepare to serve you."

Yun Yuan was shocked immediately, her heart was cold, sweat was dripping from the corner of her forehead, and the people in the courtyard all showed complicated expressions.

Concubine Yangui chuckled, took a few graceful steps, stood in front of Yunyuan, and said angrily: "You are the most mediocre on weekdays, but today you will make people look at you with admiration."

Yun Yuan had only six gods and no master, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine is rough and cold, and I will never dare to compete for favor. I hope you will see clearly. This concubine will go back to Your Majesty immediately. My concubine has a cold body and is unbearable to be favored. Your Majesty, please move to another palace."

Concubine Yangui's smile faded, she turned around and wanted to leave, she didn't look at Yunyuan any more: "It's just the wind and cold, it's not a big deal at all. My palace will order someone to cook a bowl of good medicine to cheer you up tonight."

In the inner courtyard, Concubine Yangui's anger has not yet been exhausted, and in the main hall, the cold sweat on Han Xuan's back has not completely disappeared.

Congratulations on this exchange, Hanxuan is only perfunctory, reminiscing about tonight's events repeatedly in his heart, he can't help but secretly sigh: Si Chengping's plan is really a dangerous move, if there is a slight mistake, the success will fall short.From the beginning to the end, Hanxuan's gestures were all in suspense.Fortunately, Tiangong saw pity and did not miscalculate.

After entangled with the palace people for a while, someone finally came to lure Hanxuan out of the palace.Hanxuan followed the way he came and headed towards Qionghan Gate.

Along the way, you can see the Jiuzhong Palace, the Yuhu Pearl Windows, the Biwa Xuanti, and the moon, which is full of brilliance.

When they came to the gate, everyone was going out of the palace, and there were more than a dozen carriages parked in the courtyard.A group of beauties, accompanied by chariots and horses, chatted and disturbed, and it was chaotic and noisy.At this time, the people in the inner palace had gone, and Hanxuan didn't want to stay any longer, so he also looked for his own carriage.

I didn't want to see a familiar Qingjun face in the dim light of bamboo shadows by the door.

Hanxuan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just moved quietly, and with an extremely happy expression, he called out in a low voice: "See you in the river!"

The moonlight is like silver, only a few wisps of light come through the branches and leaves.The river is hidden among the green bamboos, although you can't see clearly, you can still see the joy on its face.

Han Xuan looked around cautiously, seeing that no one was paying attention, he smiled and said, "You arranged that Xi family?"

"There's more than just one Xi family." Xi Jian was also a little smug, "The palace man you supported, the jade sculpture in Maoyuan Hall, and even the 'violent and tragic incident' that His Majesty said were all arranged by the family."

"Everyone has been sent out safely?" Han Xuan was extremely vigilant, he didn't dare to linger, in order to avoid suspicion, he only turned sideways to meet the stream, pretending to raise his eyes to look for his own carriage and horses.

"It must have left the capital. Si Chengping is most trustworthy with the maid in his beloved daughter's room." Seeing the words, Xi turned sideways, saw the bamboo shadow move slightly, and a young boy flashed out from behind him, only fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features, There is a certain resemblance to Xi Jian, but when Xi sees Zhongcheng Mansion, his eyes are full of clarity.

"This child is Zhi Yu. I brought him from the mansion. He entered the mansion when he was seven years old and was raised by his wife. Now he has been hiding in the palace for a long time. Now you can take him with you." Xi Jian Pat the child on the shoulder, and he timidly walked into the light.

"Thank you, you take good care of yourself." Han Xuan's eyes froze, but he let out a shallow sigh.

The warm light of the palace lantern shone on the rainy branches, like his clear and beautiful eyebrows, a little bit of sweet fragrance suddenly appeared.

Hanxuan smiled knowingly, took Zhiyu with him, and went back to the crowd.

At this time, most of the candidates for the election had left, and Han Xuan couldn't find the sky, looking around in a daze, at a loss.After standing for a long time, an internal official came from the pavilion by the door. He knew Hanxuan's identity, so he leaned forward and asked, "Is there any difficulty, my lord?"

Han Xuan was slightly embarrassed: "It's just that I can't find my bicycle frame. I think the people in the mansion don't know the rules, so they went back."

"It doesn't matter. The servant will send you back to the manor." The inner officer slightly raised his hand, and saw a palace man coming to dispatch him in the distance.

When the two waited quietly, Han Xuan took a closer look at this person, his complexion was dark, his face was upright, his behavior was very rigid, rather dull.

Thinking that he was impatient with Hanxuan's gaze, the internal official leaned back and said: "My subordinate, Gong Sinan, is in charge of Qingrui. I will serve under your lord's command in the future. I hope you can give me some advice."

Han Xuan replied gently: "I am new to the palace, so I need your help."

While the two were being polite, a palace official came leading the chariot, so Hanxuan entered the chariot with Zhi Yu, and a guard rode in front of him.Han Xuan nodded slightly as a signal to say goodbye to Qing Rui, then left the palace gate and went down the mountain.

Han Xuan lightly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the attendant was definitely walking on the horse.The palace chariot was wide and the shaft was long, the person on horseback was separated from the two by nearly a zhang.Seeing nothing unusual, Hanxuan carefully closed the car door and started talking with Zhiyu in a low voice.

"Although we have concubine Yan with us today, I'm afraid that the tree will grow deep and have deep roots, and it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future." Hanxuan recalled the concubine Xiu and the others during the banquet, and replied, "He alone is as sharp as a strong city, let alone the one in the palace. many people."

"It is indeed dangerous in the palace today, but I have lived in the palace for more than a month, so I feel that my lord is too worried." Zhi Yu is talkative, and Xu Xu talked about the affairs of the palace, "Looking at the inner chamber, the middle palace died early, Your Majesty never After establishing the imperial concubine, although Concubine Yuan was the most favored concubine, it was not a holiday, but Concubine Yan was the only concubine for many years, and her family was well-known, and her younger brother held the military power in the Nine Cities. , I must have seen that the Maoyuan Palace is even worse than the Dechi Palace where Your Majesty lives. Under its power and influence, Your Majesty has not been a concubine for many years, and even the concubine has to rely on flattery to get her position. Below the rank of concubine, there are as many as Ji and Yuan, but there is no one who is outstanding, so you don't need to worry about it, just fight with one place."

Hanxuan couldn't help playing with taste: "Maoyuan Hall...Changzhou Maoyuan, is the beautiful scenery of Wudu, how did you take these two words..."

"The Great Inner Palace will be renamed and reformed according to the rank and title of the person who lives there. I have heard people say that this name was accidentally obtained when the princess's mother entered the palace. In the past, the residence of the Xi family seemed to be called Yanchun. Hall."

Hanxuan was silent in his heart, the word "Yanchun" seemed vulgar, but it was actually a sad metaphor. How could Zhiyu understand it when he was young? Call a hall?"

"She was only a concubine at that time, and lived in the hall according to the regulations. During the internal ban, the residence of the emperor and empress can be called a palace, the residence of noble concubines and concubines is called a palace, and the residence of concubines is a hall. There is still a small courtyard, and the rest, Ji is the pavilion, Yuan is the pavilion, it’s just a room.”

Han Xuan was puzzled and said: "If so, how can His Majesty live in Dechi Palace?"

"The Dechi Palace was where Concubine Yuan lived that day. After Concubine Yuan left, His Majesty was deeply moved and unforgettable, so he moved here from the main hall of the palace, Yaozhuo Palace."

Hanxuan heard the words in silence, people have gone to the west, it is rare for the emperor to be able to mourn till now.Turning to sigh, the so-called deep affection is just affection in the eyes of outsiders.

While meditating, Hanxuan propped up the carved window with his own hands, only to see beyond the mountain road, the city gate with a lingering rainbow, the blue sky above it, and the full moon hanging high.When the autumn wind comes, it blows the pearls on the head and makes voiceless sounds.

Zhi Yu smiled and said: "My lord, this tiara is really beautiful, I must have put a lot of thought into it."

Hanxuan felt a chill in his heart, his face was cold and calm, and said shallowly: "If you talk about the crown, the crown of Concubine Yan is extremely skillful and unparalleled in the world."

Zhi Yu didn't know, so he went in: "The red crown with clusters of pistils was made by the imperial concubine of the Jin Dynasty. His Majesty rewarded him with the best efforts of Dian Cong. The favor of the family in the palace can be seen from the top of the crown. Most of the names and titles are chosen by His Majesty, and only by discussing the style in detail can we know the depth of honor and favor."

"'The winds of cluster cores are broken frequently, and the red rain is renewed.' If you talk about the source, this name is not Jiayu." Han Xuan recalled the Fendai Luoqi in the palace of talent just now, and suddenly thought of the pair of bright autumn eyes on the table, and then He asked Zhi Yu again, "Are you in the palace just now?"

"I followed the noble concubine's guard of honor and guarded the corner of the palace, but I didn't get close."

"Among the concubines, who is sitting at the last seat, wearing the sky-colored brocade?"

Zhi Yu thought for a moment, and said: "Xizui Xuan Yunyuanlan family has always been depressed and unfavorable. It seems that they have been in the palace for many years, but they are still at the bottom. It is really cowardly."

Hanxuan pondered for a moment, and stopped commenting. Seeing that the mountain road is so far away, it is still time to know how to return home, so he continued to ramble and said: "Since I have been elected, I will enter the palace in the future, and I will have a lot of things. People are upset."

But Zhi Yu laughed: "It's really strange, you can enjoy the unique fun by being the leader of the palace, and others can't envy you, and your lord will feel sad."

Han Xuannahan: "Leading the palace is just a matter of doing trivial things, how can it be interesting?"

Zhi Yuyan laughed more and more happily, adding a touch of shyness, making Han Xuan suspicious: "The other things are boring, but the lock and key thing is not interesting."

"Isn't it Habayashi's job to lock and key the palace gate?"

Zhi Yu didn't expect Han Xuan to be puzzled, his face blushed a little, and he said in a low voice, "It's the key to a person's body."

Seeing that Hanxuan was still confused, he whispered more and more embarrassingly: "In order to prevent the palace people from being dirty in private, when the palace people are on duty in the palace, they will all wear copper shackles, wearing this You can defecate, but you can't have fun. The palace people are handed over, so that they can be placed in the Yujin Pavilion next to the Qionghan Gate, and they will be guarded and released by the leader's palace, and then they will go to the outer court to rest. Among the attendants, I am afraid that there are only two people in the secret palace who lead the palace. , you can get nothing at all."

After hearing this, Han Xuan felt ashamed.Seeing him, Zhi Yu took the opportunity to tease and said: "Because I will look into the privacy of the palace people, so as not to be frivolous, since this dynasty, the leading palaces are all rich and famous, and my lord will have a good eye in the future."

"You think everyone is like you. I have a very righteous heart. If it wasn't my job, why would I want to see these things?" Han Xuan felt embarrassed, and said a little annoyed, and sighed in his heart: the world's most guarded person , but a word of "love", but what this heavy shackle restrains is only a word of "desire", if there is love in the heart, how can it be restrained.

"That's natural. The son is majestic and handsome, and the jade tree is facing the wind. One is enough to see. How can you see others in the eyes of adults." Zhi Yu said more and more joyfully.

Hanxuan didn't stop him, and let Zhiyu play jokes, and he just looked far away, watching the sky, the galaxy, and the clouds gathering and dispersing.

After driving for a long time, I finally arrived at Fuchu.Han Xuan said a few words politely, took money and sent the attendant back to the palace.He pushed the door and entered with Zhiyu himself.

Hanxuan is not in danger, and the whole mansion is also impossible to find in the sky.In the middle of the night, I saw Zhangyue's family Ding coming out of the ear room, and asked anxiously, "Where is your son?"

But the servant was at a loss: "The son sent you into the palace today, and he never came back."

Hanxuan is silent, his heart is like a cold moon, looking at the empty courtyard in the autumn night, the small building with stars left behind, he is alone and silent.

Zhi Yu was puzzled, and just stayed by his side in a daze, Han Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "I have a book for the son and concubine of the mansion, you go and arrange it."

But Tianque didn't say a word, and rode his horse straight away, because his family was in a hurry.

Since receiving the secret report, he traveled day and night, traveling on horseback for three or four days, before he saw the whole courtyard at home amidst the dust.

The inside of the hall is desolate, the inner and outer coffins are hung horizontally, and there are gold ornaments on them, which have become a phantom in Tianque's tearful eyes.

Tianruo knelt in front of the coffin, with tears in his eyes and hatred in his face, he scattered paper money in handfuls and let them be annihilated in the scorching flames.

Kneeling beside him was a beautiful woman whom Tian Que had never seen before. Looking closely, her face was as gentle as jade, her eyes were narrow and long and tall, her beautiful eyes turned around, and there was no light in the wind and the sun.Liang Xun was dressed in white, with a graceful figure, like willows supporting the wind, and as clear as gold, Ying and jade osmanthus. In his filial attire, he could still see Qingyan.His eyes are like cold pools of autumn water, and his expression is desolate, accompanying Tianruo by his side, and mourning is like a ceremony.

In Tian Que's eyes, he didn't care to look at Liang Xun at this moment, but just stared at the coffin, and walked towards him like a mountain avalanche, kneeling heavily on the green bricks.

If the sky sees this, even if he has the heart to hold on to himself, he can't hide his tears, so he starts to cry again.

In the dusk, the hall is filled with white candles, and the smoke is smoky. In the mournful scene, evil spirits abound.

"When did you arrive?" Tian Que's voice was hoarse, barely squeezing out the numbers.

"Three days after you left." The sky was as cold as usual, without looking at Tianque, "I don't even know how I got back from Chen Yufu's gate."

"Have you seen it all?" Tian Que also only stared at the candle flame, not daring to look at Tian Ruo's face.

"You are not in the mansion, I was too lazy to move around, I only found out when there was a commotion outside and the servants rushed to report."

"I'm afraid it's a hot topic." Tian Que smiled wryly.

"It's normal for the people to be angry and their hearts to fluctuate."

"Why is it fatal?" Tianque sighed lightly. He had been through wind and rain for three days, his eyes were blindfolded, and his face was tired.

"This poison is clever. You have been back and forth for nearly [-] days, but there is little corruption in the body. It seems to be mercury and cinnabar."

Tian Que nodded vaguely, paused for a long time, and then said: "On the day of Hanxuan's election, since I received the secret report, I didn't hesitate for a moment, traveled all day and night, and rushed back. I didn't explain a word to him."

"It's only a moment to pass away. In the eternal sky, it doesn't make any difference when you come back." Tian Ruo withdrew all the tears for a moment, his face was clanging, and his voice was like cold iron.

"I'm unfilial."

"If you do nothing, you are really unfilial." Tian Ruo's words, like a sharp knife, went straight into Tian Que's heart.

"To avenge this revenge, I have temporarily given up the love of my life and sent it to the deep palace. I am planning alone, and I am struggling." Tian Que looked at Tian Ruo with tears in his eyes, "Even if it is for the future, I have no way out. Can move forward."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Tianruo's mouth, but it passed away with the tears and melted into the white curtain and smoked candle.

The night was dark, and the two of them were relatively speechless, only looking at the white candles in the room, which were flickering and flickering.There was a wind blowing through the hall, and the pearls and emeralds collided with each other, making a slight and crisp sound. Only then did Tianque see the beautiful woman beside him, her face was like still water, and she knelt for an unknown amount of time.

In the dim candlelight, you can see her jade face is white and smooth like pear blossoms.

"You're that one, right?" Tian Que asked, with tiredness on the corner of his mouth.

Liang Xun said bluntly: "I am Liang Xun, I have met the prince."

"Xun'er is modest and docile, with good etiquette, and has been kneeling with me for many days." Tian Ruo's face was gentle, looking at Liang Xun, it seemed that his face was no longer as cold as it was when facing Tian Que, but had a slight winter sun.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tianque's eyes were slightly moved, and he said gently, "Is the mansion still used to it?"

"It's all good." Liang Xun gritted his teeth lightly, only uttered two words, and bowed his head gracefully again.

Tian Ruo said with pity, "It's hard for him. He was dressed in filial piety when he first entered the mansion, and he worked tirelessly."

"Sister Lao, don't worry." Tian Que said lightly, "Where do you live?"

"Shuangyan Pavilion." Liang Xun replied.

"Hanxuan pointed it out here." If Tianruo added a sentence, it seemed that there was some deep meaning behind it.

"'Tearful eyes leaning on the building and talking alone frequently, when Shuangyan came, did we meet on Moshang?' He blamed me for being ruthless."

The three of them had little to say, no more words, just silently guarding a coffin, watching the dim candlelight, the heavy plain curtains, and a hazy scene under the night.

After a long time, Tianque opened his mouth and said sadly: "It's late at night, and you two have been mourning for many days, so let me do my filial piety."

"In order to wait for you, I haven't buried you in a large body so far, which is against the ancestral system. Tonight, you will accompany your father to fulfill the kindness of your father and son, and you can be buried in the earth tomorrow." Tian Ruo slowly got up, helped Xiao Xiao, and called Liang Maid Xun said, "Yuezhi, help the concubine back to Shuangyan Pavilion."

Liang Xun walked out of the mourning hall, and Yu Tianque was the only one kneeling in the white candle in the cool breeze of the dark night.

After looking at each other frequently, Liang Xun finally walked away, Sui Tianruo walked slowly towards the residence in the back mountain.

Just after leaving the vestibule and going up to the corridor, a shadow flashed in the corner of the sky, and immediately changed his expression, he turned his head to Liang Xun and said: "You go back to the cabinet first to rest, remember that there are still some family matters, I just forgot to explain."

Liang Xun left as he said, Tianruo took a few steps slowly, and walked into the depths of the flowers and trees, only to see Si Chengping appearing from behind a handful of osmanthus trees.

"What happened to my father in the palace, do you have an idea?" Tian Ruo asked coldly.

Si Chengping gave a little salute, and said humbly: "The eyes and ears of the palace only know that the prince has entered the Yinan Palace, and there has been no news from him."

Tian Ruo pondered for a long time before saying: "In the world, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. My father and king are going west. It's a done deal. It's useless to investigate further. I only hope that this matter can inspire Tianque to break the boat and become angry."

"The princess is so painstaking, the old minister will definitely serve the master wholeheartedly and help the two of you succeed."

"The two of you?" Tian Ruo let out a smirk, "It's you who are so cunning and cunning."

Si Chengping was not upset, but continued: "If you want to succeed immediately, you need to plan ahead and clear the obstacles. Then Wei Rang heard that..."

"You and I have made up our minds a long time ago, and I believe in you, we will definitely do it neatly."

At this moment, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching outside the flowers and trees, and the two of them gathered their faces together and watched.When she got closer, she realized that she was the daughter of Si Chengping. She was born exquisitely and beautifully, with a beautiful appearance. She wore a corset robe. One could tell at a glance that she had practiced martial arts for many years, and there was a hint of heroism in her charm.

"Father, the son is looking for you, and there is a military plan to discuss important matters."

When the two heard this, they were both relieved, with a smile on their brows.
