In the thirty-third year of Concubine Shu's death, Emperor Li Jinghuan died.
When the bad news came, I was working with my maid Qingsuo to trim the few bamboo begonias that Lady Shufei's sister loved most in her lifetime.
Begonia flowers bloomed weakly in a corner of the palace wall, and the vermilion petals fell to the ground.
Probably the climate in the palace is wet and cold, since Lady Shufei's sister left, this bamboo begonia is declining year by year, no matter how hard our sisters try, after all, we can't resist the trend of the begonia withering away.
Hearing the news of Li Jinghuan's death, I looked at the begonia in front of me and breathed a sigh of relief--just, thirty-three years later, he has gone, what is the use of keeping the begonias.
I stopped and said to Qingsuo, "Go to the Kunning Hall."
……
Empress Minyu, like Lady Shu's sister, was also a gentle and beautiful woman.
When she saw me, she did not show a surprised look, and sent her next person to add tea to me by herself.
"Doll, I knew you were coming." Min Yu said.
Yeah, I'm not coming, those beautiful ladies in the palace died and died in the past thirty-three years, sick and sick, this palace left me and MinYu.
"I dreamed of her a few days ago, and in the dream she kept asking me if the few begonias she had raised in the palace were good, but she didn't ask her if she was good or not, maybe Li Jinghuan was jealous, and went to his Qingqing to evaluate." Min Yu leaned in front of me and whispered a joke, and I realized that Min Yu's sideburns were white.
I laughed, thirty-three years later, you have finally gone to find your secretary.
I remember the day I entered the palace, the clouds were full of clouds.
Due to the unsatisfactory water and soil, I did not sleep well the night before, and several times when Mamma spoke, I almost closed my eyes and fell asleep, fortunately, Minyu's eyes were fast, and every time I was about to close my eyes, she would reach out and pinch me mercilessly.
Fortunately, Mamma is not too wordy, or the back of my little hand will suffer.
Just when I was yawning for days and nights, the man came, Li Jinghuan, the emperor of the dynasty,
Or maybe it's my husband.
Our husband.
There are three thousand harem beauties, and I am only a pan of this weak water of three thousand miles.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel some heartache, but in my heart I still hoped that the emperor's eyes could listen to him for a while and stop longer.
However, this is only delusional.
Li Jinghuan looked at us hurriedly, explained to the eunuch next to him, turned around and left.
And so, my first side with my husband ended in such a hurry.
After that, I followed the group to the palace of The Lady.
The close-fitting Lady Qingsuo covered her mouth and smiled at me, "Miss, I have heard that Lady Lady is the emperor's favorite concubine, you can live in her palace, and there will be more opportunities to see the emperor in the future." You will be blessed in the future. "
I laughed and scolded her not to talk nonsense, and to be heard by others was that our master and servant would suffer.
Qingsuo smiled and laughed, and led me into Lady Shufei's Yanxi Palace.
In fact, I know better than anyone in my heart that the reason why I was able to live in Shufei's Yanxi Palace was because my father and Shufei's brother were good friends and specially asked Shufei to take care of me.
A few days later, I learned that Min Yu and other show girls lived in the Chunhua Hall not far from the Xuanyuan Hall, and When Lady Shufei saw that I was friendly with her, she privately arranged for someone to secretly take care of Min Yu.
Entering the Yanxi Palace, the first thing I wanted to see was Lady Shu, the lord of the first palace.
Sure enough, that beauty was indeed so beautiful that the country fell to the city.
When I saw her, she was embroidering something, and when she saw me coming, she quickly put down the needle and thread, walked up to me, lifted me up, and wiped the tears I had left because I was too sleepy: "Good sister, you can count on coming, finally this palace can let me have a person who can talk."
She led me to sit down, and I realized that the embroidery was two lifelike Mandarin ducks.
Lady Shufei seemed to sense my gaze and began to explain, "I remember when I first entered the palace, I couldn't do anything, and the embroidered Mandarin duck was ridiculed and said to be a duck, but later after learning to practice, I was finally able to embroider a decent one." Lady Shufei reached out and stroked the two Mandarin ducks, her eyes full of pity.
Probably, everyone likes such a gentle person.
After eating in the main hall of Lady Shufei, I walked slowly in the palace alone, but I saw a lotus flower in the distant pool looking incomparably beautiful under the breeze and bright moon.
To be honest, I'm jealous, jealous of that beauty and love that doesn't belong to me—
When Emperor Lee Kyung-hwan was seventeen years old, he met the fourteen-year-old Lady Shufei and met the woman he loved most in his life.
That night, when I was looking at a begonia in the courtyard and admiring myself, I suddenly saw a group of people hurrying towards the main hall, and I fixed my eyes on it, wasn't it the emperor who was walking in front of the meteor?
He was so anxious that he ignored my presence.
After a long time, I realized that the night was already deep, and tonight's moon was also very round.
At the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder, and there is good news in the Yanxi Palace - the lady concubine is happy.
The emperor was very happy, the whole Yanxi Palace was rewarded and rewarded, and Lady Shufei was also very happy, and gave me a few bamboo begonias.
Soon after, the good news came that Min Yu had been promoted to the concubine.
As a sister, I was naturally happy for her, but I had been in the palace for three months, and the emperor had never looked at me squarely.
Thinking of this, I sighed.
I sat in this forgotten side hall, sniffing the begonia flowers sent by Lady Shufei. In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world was only as big as the Partial Temple.
Gradually, I rarely went out.
Until that day, Lady Shufei came to ask me, and she said to me: "Duo'er, how come I have gone out less and less these days, am I afraid of the cold?"
I shook my head and said vaguely, "No, Niangniang is worried."
I don't know how stunned Sister Shufei's face was when I said this, but I thought it was very cool to do so.
Presumably she would never have known that I wasn't going out to avoid their shadowy lovers in the courtyard.
Shortly thereafter, Concubine Shu invited me to the main hall for a reunion dinner.
It was my birthday, and I didn't expect her to know.
My birthday, even Min Yu forgot.
Lady Shufei prepared a table full of dishes, smiled and said to me, "Duo'er, sit down quickly and have a good meal with your sister."
I smiled and looked up, only to find that her belly was already pregnant, and it was very clumsy.
Then she asked her to take a few pieces of clothing and said to me, "I blame my sister for not taking good care of me, because the weather turned cold a few days ago, and I forgot to make clothes for Doll."
I pulled the rice with my head down, and the bean-sized teardrops rolled into the soup bowl.
When Lady Shufei saw me sobbing like this, she patted me on the back and said softly, "Duo'er, my sister will definitely take good care of you."
Later, Min Yu was also pregnant, and I smiled and went to congratulate her.
Min Yu was still very kind when she saw me, smiled and said to me, "Duo'er, we have finally stayed up in the palace."
I looked down and smiled, thinking that this was good.
Three days later, the concubines of each palace were promoted, and I was promoted to the rank of concubine, still living in the most comfortable Yanxi Palace; Min Yu was promoted to a noble concubine, and ShuFei became an empress.
When Lady Shu became empress, she naturally wanted to move to Kunning Palace. On the day of parting, she pulled me aside and said, "Duo'er, we are going to be separated again, and you can take care of a few bamboo begonias in this palace."
I saw a few tear marks in the corners of her eyes and nodded.
At the urging of the eunuch, Lady Shu's sister or empress sat on the phoenix and left step by step.
I saw her fading figure, leaving a trail of tears, and I was afraid that she would see the hurt, so I hurriedly wiped the tears with my hands.
Sister, you are finally gone.
This Yanxi Palace, which is admired by thousands of people, is now the only one left.
I pulled the lock back into the house, feeling that everything was strange and familiar, and had to look at the bamboo begonias at the head of the wall in a daze.
But an hour later, the bad news reached the Yanxi Palace.
I saw the lady concubine running up to me covered in sweat, knelt down and choked up, and said, "Niangniang, our master is dying, so go and see her."
I was horrified and asked, what's going on, it's just not okay.
The lady cried and complained, our master has been in poor health since he was a child, these days the light is even more laborious, just accidentally stepped on the steps, just ... only......
Unable to speak, I asked busily, what's wrong?
She sucked on her snot for a moment before she plucked up the courage to say that she had given birth.
After listening, I took a breath of cool air, busily arranged for the locks to be cleared and prepared clothes, and the group hurriedly and slowly ran towards the Kunning Hall.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that Min Yu had been sitting there waiting for a long time, and she saw a hint of bitterness on my face: "She is clamoring to see you, go and see her."
I nodded, but when I got to the door of the delivery room, I hesitated.
Only to hear Li Jinghuan's gentle voice coming from inside: "Qingqing, don't be afraid, with me, we will have many children in the future, please don't leave."
He heard a few more sounds that seemed to be shufei's sister comforting him, followed by The sound of Lee Kyung-hwan choking, which had been begging her god not to leave.
I waited for a long time, but finally plucked up the courage to enter the delivery room.
Emperor Li Jinghuan was not very surprised to see me, and adjusted his tone and said to me: "Your sister may have a lot to say to you." After saying that, he turned and left.
At that moment, my heart flooded with infinite bitterness, which may be the first sentence and sentence that Li Jinghuan said to me after I entered the palace, or for another woman, for a while I was a little jealous.
I was in a daze until Sister Shufei opened her mouth: "Duo'er, come here, I have something to say to you."
I leaned over, only to see Sister Shufei leaning toward me with difficulty and saying, "I will be a little bit unsophisticated during the time you enter the palace, and I hope you don't blame me."
No, you're doing a good job, really good. I opened my mouth, but in the end I didn't make a sound.
She added, "I'm a useless mother, and I won't live long." I saw that Min Yu also showed her nostalgia, you as her good sister must help her take care of her body, this is the emperor's first child, but also the hope of our harem. "
I looked at her with warmth in her eyes and nodded.
Sister Shufei was probably tired, and she smiled and said to me, "Duo'er, I'm tired, you go out, I want to rest for a while."
Hearing this, I was very uneasy in my heart, but I still stood up and helped her tuck the quilt and left.
When I got to the door, I saw Li Jinghuan standing outside the door with red eyes, and when I came out, I entered the house with another brain.
I sighed and asked the maid to move the stool and sit down next to Min-yu.
Min Yu looked haggard and said to me, "Maybe, this is the love of the emperor."
Yes, this is the love of the emperor, the love of the emperor that many people ask for.
I leaned on Min Yu and looked at the delivery room in a daze, but it wasn't long before I heard Lee Kyung-hwan's crying from inside—"Why?" Why did you leave? The child left? Don't even want me..."
I closed my eyes as if I saw the beauty of the flowers withering and shattering in the begonia flowers, and as she lay dying, she smiled and said to me, "Duo'er, we will still be good sisters in the next life."
A month later, Emperor Li Jinghuan finally recruited me to sleep.
Qingsuo was very happy, and it was to dress me up again, and I waved my hand and said, no, no matter how fancy he will not look.
Yes, he would not look, and when he entered the palace, he should have known that the love of the emperor belonged only to that one person.
In the night, I finally came to the Xuanyuan Hall.
Only to see Li Jinghuan's face stubble, sitting alone in the main hall drinking, looking very pitiful. He saw me and waved his hand, motioning for me to go up and sit down and talk.
He smiled and said to me, "Your sister told me you were a well-behaved child, and I saw you today."
I bowed my head and smiled, and drank all the wine that the son had personally served me that day.
Li Jinghuan spoke slowly again: "I didn't expect that she would leave us for so long."
I looked up and saw that there were still some tear marks on his face.
He smiled and said to me again, "When I was a prince, my father gave me her and a group of showgirls. One day when I was walking around the garden of the palace, I saw a woman with a hibiscus face, but a duck was embroidered on the sachet she was carrying, and I stood there laughing at her for a long time, and she was not angry, and I thought your sister was very cute. I looked down at the sachet on the side of Li Jinghuan's waist, and the Mandarin duck on it came to life.
"Later, when I became emperor, I should have made her empress at that time, but her brother was a courtier and had not been born for three years, so he reluctantly made a lady concubine."
"Unexpectedly, this queen's phoenix throne became the last gift I gave her."
Speaking of this, Lee Kyung-hwan raised his hand and filled two wine glasses again, drank them all in front of me, and then closed his eyes in pain.
I looked at his pained expression and finally plucked up the courage to pour the wine from the glass into my stomach.
Late at night, the emperor did not leave me to stay in the Xuanyuan Palace, and I was carried back to the Yanxi Palace by the emperor.
That night, there was only a remnant moon in the corner of the clouds, and the miserable moonlight hit the self-pitying begonia, and the moon shadow became a pair.
I think it's not bad to do so.
Seven months later, Min Yu gave birth to a crown prince.
This was Emperor Li Jinghuan's first child in so many years.
The emperor was not overly pleased and named the child Li Siqing.
Min Yu was not angry, holding the child to show me, the emperor's intentions we both understood.
Li Siqing, good name, she must be very happy in that world.
Li Siqing, I promise you that your mother and father will grow up healthy.
In a flash, thirty-three years have passed.
Thirty-three years is not short, and it is not long to say that it is not long, which can not only dissolve people's sorrows, but also witness people's lives.
For example, thirty-three years of spring and autumn, flowers blooming, I finally let go of that humble love, and finally learned how to prune a tree of begonias;
Min Yu became empress, and I became a noble concubine.
For example, in the thirty-third year, Li Siqing grew into a handsome young man with a tall body, who worked hard and was very pleasing to his father and emperor. Later, the young man married the daughter of the Rebbe Shangshu family, and on the day of the wedding, he smiled and thanked his father and mother: "The child will definitely take good care of Liang'er, and she will be the only one in her lifetime." I sat aside and looked at this child's silly appearance and shed tears, as if in tears I saw in the light of tears that in a corner of the Yanxi Palace that year, Emperor Li Jinghuan hugged his Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, I Li Jinghuan have only loved you in my life."
For example, in the past thirty-three years, Li Jinghuan has planted thousands of acres of bamboo begonias on the frontier of thousands of miles away, and whenever the begonia flowers are in the peak season, no matter how busy he is, he will withdraw to the frontier begonia flower fields for a few days.
But now, too, he's gone.
I rested my head on MinYu, and in the haze, I seemed to see the lovers hugging each other in the begonia flower field...
