Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 163

On a snowy winter day, this huge palace with yellow tiles and red walls, carved beams and painted buildings becomes a poem, with every step and scene.The stove that warms people's body and mind in winter becomes the emperor's drunken dream wine. Rao just a sip or two of warm wine is also called slightly drunk and blush.In the middle of winter in the fourth year of Tianyuan, Zhao Xiyan hoarded a large amount of food, grass and furs in the summer. There was no snowstorm this winter, and the people of Daqi lived a prosperous winter.Guotai Min'an is the happiest thing than Emperor Daqi. There is no major event in the past few days, and the note to please An has been pushed down, so it is considered free.After Zhao Xiyan came down from court, Baba rushed to go with Xia Shuning to enjoy plum blossoms in the Plum Garden of the Imperial Garden.Zhao Xiyan was dressed in a white robe today, and tied his hair with white jade instead of the emperor's golden crown.

"Ning'er, you are so beautiful today."

Xia Shuning also changed into white fox fur, and Zhao Xiyan gave her a hairpin. She just touched her red lips, looking as refined as a fairy.Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but moved closer to her face, rubbed the tip of her nose against hers, and stole another incense stick.Xia Shuning was ashamed, the maid was still outside.After hearing Zhao Xiyan's words, Xia Shuning's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but blame him.

"Sister-in-law always coaxes me like this. I am the mother of three children, and you still say that I am beautiful. If people listen to it, they should say that I am shameless."

"Ning'er's beauty can be measured by age and number of children? In my heart, you are as young and beautiful as ever in [-]."

"I'm afraid it wasn't like this that you coaxed out three children."

"Am I such a bad person?"

"Well, it's too bad!" Xia Shuning seemed to be offended and shy, she rested her chin on her left hand and looked at him, her eyes were full of unresolved affection.

"I plan to live my life in such a bad way. Do you want to be deceived for the rest of your life?"

"Could it be that you want to go back on your word? I don't obey you."

"Don't dare, I'm afraid Xiaosheng is not a fool to regret such a good deal. Aomei has already bloomed, and the red plum blossoms in this garden are blooming, and the yard is full of cold plum fragrance. hands, to cut the flower branches?"

Zhao Xiyan couldn't be serious in front of Xia Shuning, whoever said that the person in front of him was his sweetheart.Zhao Xiyan followed the example of those young talents and invited Xia Shuning, Xia Shuning really made him tremble.Xia Shuning put her hand in his, Zhao Xiyan looked at her and smiled, and the two went to the plum garden together to enjoy the plum blossoms.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning sat on the emperor's dragon, Zhao Xiyan was reluctant to let go of Xia Shuning's hand along the way, for fear that she would catch the cold, so he kept holding it in his arms to keep warm.It didn't take a while to arrive at the Plum Garden. Xia Shuning got out of the sedan chair and was really amazed by the scene in front of her.The plum blossoms in the garden are competing to bloom, the branches and leaves are covered with white snow, and more plum trees are covered with red ribbons.Xia Shuning looked at the writing on the red ribbon and smiled knowingly.

"My husband has a heart, the government affairs are so busy, why do you still have to do these things? Aren't you busy?" He blamed him, but his heart was already trembling with joy.

"I went to Huangjue Temple last year and saw that people in the world wrote their wishes on such red ribbons and hung them on the branches to pray for blessings and pray for God to fulfill their wishes. I have nothing to ask for now, but I hope you and your children are happy and healthy. I look forward to your love with me To the white head. It took several days to finish writing, look at the best blooming plants over there, all tied by myself."

Xia Shuning walked casually, flipping through everything within reach, all of them were written by Zhao Xiyan, her heart was full of emotion, and her brows and eyes were full of smiles.Xia Shuning walked back into Zhao Xiyan's arms and snuggled up to him.

"I'm an old husband and wife, and you still please me all day long like a teenager. It is said that once you catch a fish, you don't feed the fish with bait. You are a confused fisherman, why do you keep feeding it?"

"I caught a mermaid."

Xia Shuning couldn't stand his sweet talk, it was so sweet to the bottom of her heart, she almost thought that she was newly married, completely forgetting that she had already given birth to three children.The two held hands and admired the plum blossoms in the plum garden.Xiangyun looked at Duodu, Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning praised him, he will definitely hand over the scissors and let Zhao Xiyan cut off the plum branches and give them to Xia Shuning.All the court ladies and eunuchs who followed were envious of the deep love between the emperor and the imperial concubine, and praised the good life of the imperial concubine.Everyone in the world said that the imperial concubine had such a good life that the emperor spoiled her all the way, but who would have known that the real lucky one was the emperor, who could get such a beautiful woman.The love between the two of them, as if no one else was there, made Wu Qingyao and Qiu Ruyu, who watched secretly, envy them.I'm afraid that the immortal couple is no match for this. Could it be that the two are immortal couples?After the rewards were almost finished, Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning went back to the palace, bringing back many plum blossoms.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning had lunch together before returning to Feishuang Palace. They were in a good mood all day long. Zhao Xiyan even hummed a ditty while sitting on the dragon table in Feishuang Palace.

"Don't summon the minister in the afternoon. When you come, give him some wine and ask him to go back. Go warm a pot of daughter Honglai, I want to get a little drunk today."

"The slave leads the order."

"Where's Zhaoyi? Didn't the one call yesterday to come earlier?"

"Miss Zhaoyi has been here, and seeing that the emperor is not here, she went back."

"So that's the case, then don't call her, it's freezing cold, so as not to get sick from the cold."

"Does the emperor need some side dishes to accompany the wine?"

"Can!"

After a while, a pot of Nurhong and some side dishes were delivered.Zhao Xiyan was in a good mood, and quickly drank a few drinks, feeling a little tipsy, feeling warm all over, very comfortable.

"It's a pity that Baoqing County horses don't enter the palace today, and such a small pot of wine is not enough for him to sacrifice his teeth."

"Master Jun Ma loves wine, and I brought you a lot of good wine a while ago."

"If he moves as he pleases, if he doesn't bring me the best cloth and silk in the spring, I will settle accounts with him. My imperial concubine and little princess are still waiting for the new spring clothes."

"Master Junma will definitely do his best, and dare not be indebted to the emperor. The imperial concubine and His Royal Highness Yongning are really loved by the emperor, and the emperor always misses them so much. A few days ago, the slave heard that His Royal Highness Yongning was very smart in reading, At only four years old, Jing Jing can read [-] characters, and the Taifu often praises His Highness, saying that he looks like an emperor."

Even though Zhao Xiyan was slightly drunk, he couldn't help being happy when he heard other people say good things about his daughter.

"Mu Ning is not like me, he is as smart as Ning'er. When I was young, I was often punished by the Tai Tuo!"

"Where is the emperor saying this? They say that father and son Xiao mother, the princess really looks like the emperor. The servant still vaguely remembers that when the emperor was 13 years old, he made a love letter and made many daughters secretly agree."

"It is also!"

Zhao Xiyan, who was already a light drinker, was a little confused after a pot of daughter's red stomach.It's so comfortable to roast the stove and drink small wine in winter.He was so comfortable that he wanted to listen to Ulan Rongruo playing the piano. It had been a long time since he had relaxed so much, temporarily unloading the burden of thousands of miles of land on his shoulders.

"Where did Concubine Shu go today?"

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Shu sent the second prince to the imperial academy early in the morning, and has been taking care of the seventh prince in the palace."

"I haven't heard Concubine Shu's piano sound for a long time, so let's drive to Ganquan Palace! You don't need to tell Concubine Shu, I just want to scare her."

"The slave is going to prepare for the dragon to chase."

Zhao Xiyan was a little dazed, and yawned uncontrollably, sitting on Long Yu holding the stove.While wandering on the road, I suddenly heard the sound of pipa and opera singing, so I listened carefully.This song seems familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

"Where have you been?"

"Your Majesty, you are passing by Cuiwei Palace."

"It is estimated that Concubine Shu coaxed the children to take a nap, and Zhaoyi's pipa is also excellent, so let's go to Cuiwei Palace."

"Yes! Drive to Cuiwei Palace!"

After a turn, Long Mou arrived in front of Cuiwei Palace.Xiangyun supported Zhao Xiyan, who was a little drunk, and walked into Cuiwei Palace without being notified.When Wu Qingyao heard that the emperor was coming, she immediately forgot about the plum garden, and came to pick her up with her pipa in her arms.

"Why did the emperor come to my concubine's place suddenly? Why didn't you tell me in advance? The concubine should greet you early."

"No need, I drank some wine, passed by you and heard the sound of pipa and opera, so I came in to have a look."

Zhao Xiyan sat on the main seat, holding the hand stove, his eyes were a little blurred.Wu Qingyao's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, the daughter's red that the emperor drank was sent from her palace, so it was very easy to catch.She originally thought that when the emperor was drunk, she would pick up the pipa and come to Feishuang Palace to seek an audience, and she would naturally be able to perform, but unexpectedly, the emperor thought of Ulan Rongruo.I thought that the emperor just went to Ulan Rongruo's place just like that, and figured out the time to play the pipa and sang the song when the emperor came.Sometimes unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades, it actually fulfills her.

"Emperor~"

"Your hands are all ready. I said that I want to listen to you play the pipa."

"The concubine's hand has healed a long time ago, I wonder what music the emperor wants to hear?"

"What did you sing just now?"

"Back to the emperor, just now the courtiers and concubines sang the dream in the garden, and the pipa song in the garden."

"It turned out to be the Peony Pavilion. I've heard it before, so please ask Zhaoyi to play a song for me, A Dream in the Garden."

Sitting opposite Zhao Xiyan, Wu Qingyao played the pipa with a smile.When Zhao Xiyan was 17 years old, he went to listen to this song "A Dream in the Garden".At that time, I was still a teenager at heart, and I got the emperor's order to go to Suzhou, and I was in good spirits all the way.Wu Qingyao played Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei's sadness and sweetness, which is extremely poignant and beautiful.What I listened to was an opera that time, but now I am listening to a song, Jiangnan Wu Nong's soft words are more intoxicating than Nurhong.With drunken eyes and the sound of the pipa, Zhao Xiyan recalled many past events.It is true that flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.At that time, the queen was still a princess, delicate and fresh, and the riverside and bright moon in Suzhou reflected a young mind.Zhao Xiyan began to be unable to tell whether what was in front of him was real or not, he only felt that he was next to a lotus pond in the south of the Yangtze River.As the sun goes down, the lotus leaves in the house contain many, many unbloomed pink buds.The beauty is dressed in green, with a gold hairpin on her hair, sitting on the bow of the boat, her belt fluttering like a waterfall of green silk.He saw her from a distance, and slowly walked to the other side of the bank, and she saw him.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

"Qingshu!"

The beauty looked forward with beautiful eyes, and when she saw her lover, her cheeks flushed and she called out.He stood on the shore, watching her almost forgot to breathe.Her boat got closer and closer, and when it touched the shore, he stretched out his hand to catch it.The beauty put her bare hands lightly, and with a little pull, she fell into her arms, full of fragrance, full of youthful affection.When the pond was full of lotus flowers, he went to break one and give it to her.Just as the beauty was shy, the scene changed and a bowl broke.With a bang, the boy's dream was awakened.

"do not want!"

Zhao Xiyan sobered up and almost fell, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Wu Qingyao's hand that he was grabbing.Wu Qingyao and Zhao Xiyan met each other's eyes and got very close.Zhao Xiyan reacted immediately, and retreated without a trace.

"The emperor had a nightmare?"

"no no."

"Does the emperor still want to listen to the music?"

"No need, you play really well, come here to pick some ginseng from Korea and give it to Zhaoyi."

"Your Majesty! This is..."

"nothing."

Zhao Xiyan woke up from the nightmare, and turned around to drink tea, never thinking that the teacup was cold.Wu Qingyao had quick hands and quick eyes, and quickly took away the old teacup and brought a cup of hot tea.Zhao Xiyan felt that he must have been drunk to come to Cuiwei Palace, a place of right and wrong, and heaved a deep sigh.The dream just now was indeed a nightmare in the garden, and Zhao Xiyan kept replaying the broken bowl in his mind.He obviously didn't grab the bowl, so why did he grab Wu Qingyao's hand?Wu Qingyao was grabbed by Zhao Xiyan just now, her heart was beating all the time, hoping that Zhao Xiyan would make further moves.It's a pity that all he waited for was that he let go of his hand and retreated away from his side without a trace.Zhao Xiyan drank hot tea and regained his sanity, and he was no longer drunk.

"I'm going back to the palace first, you are tired from playing the pipa."

"emperor!"

"Is there anything else?"

"The concubine stewed lotus root soup today, would the emperor want a bowl?"

When Zhao Xiyan heard the word lotus root soup, his eyes darkened, and finally he smiled.

"No, there's something else to do later, you can bring the lunch tomorrow."

"Does the emperor not like the songs of courtiers and concubines?"

"You play very well."

Zhao Xiyan left, Wu Qingyao held the place where Zhao Xiyan held just now, there was no more warmth, and she was still nostalgic.

"Your majesty, when will you have me in your dreams? You just called the queen by her boudoir name."

The author has something to say:

it's a dream and it's you again

he is close

But he doesn't have you in his dreams

It's also quite sad
