Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 106 Zipei (4) Unbanned

Sure enough, as she expected, it seemed that Fulin wanted to tell her what happened last night. Thinking of this, Qingru slightly raised her red lips, closed her eyes and stroked her face gently with her hand, as if she was thinking about something, waiting When I opened my eyes again, it was already as clear as it should be, and I had a response in my heart, and said softly: "Go and send someone back to the emperor, just say that I am not feeling well today and cannot serve you, please forgive me!"

She was clearly rejecting the emperor. Xiangyuan was taken aback by her. The concubine always waited happily for the emperor's call. I never heard that there were people who were unwilling. : "Your Majesty, is this okay? What if..."

Qing Ru lightly glanced at her and lifted the imperial concubine couch under her body and said: "Just go back as I said, nothing happens, the emperor won't blame you!" Hearing what the master said, Xiangyuan had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his stomach With worry, he retreated.

It was night, there was no news, her refusal to go to bed was like a rock, and there was no response, but Qingru was not very worried. She looked at the night sky with stars and moons, and sighed wistfully. There are too many things and people. I used to only think about guarding against others, but I never thought that the people around me would also betray one day. Alas!
If she wanted to sigh, she couldn't stop sighing, but she couldn't go on moaning like this, and when the time was about the same, she asked Xiao Fuzi and the others to guard outside, leaving only Zijin inside!
Tianyi... Qing Ru's long and jade-like fingers slowly slid across this unique dress, her eyes were blurred like mist, suddenly she retracted her hand, and slowly unbuttoned her clothes, Zi Jin wanted to come over to take over, but Stopped by her, she untied it slowly, one by one, until all the clothes were gone, then she took off the celestial gown and put it on her body, the long gown outlined a perfect figure, floating like a fairy, every time when she When I put on this dress, I feel so strange to myself, as if she is no longer her, but another...

Thinking about it, she suddenly laughed again. If she is no longer her, who would it be? It was a wild idea. After fastening the last button, she raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin holding three thousand blue hairs. Hanging straight down, draped behind her back, all the decorations are gone, and what is left is the most real her!

After Qingru finished all these, Fang turned around, only this change made people's eyes bright, when Zi Jin was puzzled what he meant, Qingru ordered: "cover all the lamps with gauze. caged!"

Zijin didn't ask any more questions, but did as he was told, and found a gauze cover to cover it up. The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and it seemed to be connected with the moonlight in the sky.

Qingru nodded, and stepped up to the case, there was already a phoenix piano on the table case, the seven strings quietly stopped there, a gleam of light flashed from time to time, as if waiting for someone to play it !
After sitting down, Qingru sat down, put both hands on the strings, and made a light "dong" sound after a slight flick, probably because of her mood, how could this sound be so sad, like a resentful woman, This sound awakened Qingru, no matter what the women in the palace should not show too much trace, let alone resentment, otherwise they will definitely hurt themselves!

Thinking of this, she stopped the hand that was about to play the tune, and only after she calmed down and suppressed her complaints, did she start the tune again. This time, she tried the tune again, and sure enough, it was no longer sorrowful, but a kind of light sadness , specious, but it makes people hesitate.

Calculating the time is almost up, Qing Ru no longer delays, waved her hand away, the seven strings jumped up under her fingers, as if alive, this time she played "Yijianmei", as the sound of the piano sounded, she seemed to be Back to the old days, playing the piano by the Linyuan Pool...

The red lotus root is fragrant and the jade mat is autumn. I untie the Luoshang lightly and get on the lotus boat alone.

Whoever sends the brocade book in the cloud, when the wild goose returns, the moon is full of the west building.

Flowers drift by themselves, water flows by itself, a kind of lovesickness, two places of worry.

This situation can be eliminated, only to brow, but to the heart.

"There is no way to get rid of this feeling, so I lowered my brows, but turned to my heart!" With the sound of the piano, Qingru chanted slowly, tears streaming down her eyes unconsciously, dripping on the strings, one drop, two drops...
And at this time, she smelled a familiar scent of ambergris, although it was very faint, she could not smell it wrong, she knew that he was on the side, but she never opened her eyes, but repeated the words just now , At the same time, the tears kept streaming down!
"How much more tears do you have to shed?" A reluctant voice sounded in my ear as promised, it was him, Qing Ru suddenly stopped playing the piano, opened his watery eyes, as if he had seen it at first, a little displeased Definitely called: "Your Majesty?"

Fulin reached out to wipe her tears on her face, and the woven gold sleeves slid across Qingru's face from time to time, only to hear him say in distress: "The tears of a beauty should not be shed on the ground, but should be stored in a luminous cup." It must be the best wine in the world!"

Qingru pushed his hand away and said, "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me!" The sad tone touched a chord in Fulin's heart, he stretched out his hand to lift Qingru's chin, and turned her face to face him , then lowered his head and kissed the tear that was about to fall: "Don't cry, my heart hurts!"

Unexpectedly, the more he said that, Qingru's tears fell more and more fiercely, she pushed herself up and walked to the window and turned her back to him and said: "The emperor has a new love, so why would he feel sorry for his concubine!" Know when to back out and no one else in the house.

Seeing her being jealous, Fulin was not angry, instead he laughed: "Why, are you still angry with me, angry that I took people from your palace?"

Originally, he was just pretending to be angry, but when he mentioned it, it immediately aroused the hidden grievances in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurted out: "You are the emperor, you can accept whoever you like, I am just a little concubine, how dare you accept me?" I'm mad at you!"

Fulin walked over to hold her shoulders, and coaxed her in his ear: "Okay, don't be angry anymore, haven't I come here, and tonight you lied to me that you were unwell and refused to sleep with you, so I didn't talk to you You care about it, but you and I care about it, you are not usually so stingy!"

Qingru twisted her shoulders away from his palm and wept silently, Fulin's several overtures were rejected by her, her face couldn't help but sink, it's a good thing for him to be here today, but he doesn't appreciate it Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "I have come here to apologize to you, and you are not happy? No concubine, big or small, in this palace has ever been as shameless as you! Although Zipei is your palace People in the family, but I have to get your consent to accept a concubine, it seems that I really dote on you, and let you start to be arrogant!" He turned around angrily.

Hearing that he had misunderstood her so much, Qingru became more sad besides being sad, she turned around and knelt on the ground looking up at Fulin's back and said word by word: "I dare not!"

"Don't dare? Then what's the matter with you now?" Fulin didn't turn his head, but just said angrily, he didn't see Qingru kneeling behind him.

Qingru looked at the tears falling on the ground and said: "That's because the concubine treats the emperor as a husband. Although the concubine is not worthy, she still thinks about it unconsciously. It is precisely because of this that the concubine will Jealousy is the only way to play temper with the emperor, this is the fault of my concubine, if the emperor wants to punish me, my concubine is willing to bear it!" As she spoke, she bowed her head, her long hair slipped from her shoulders and fell to the ground, spread out like a fan.

She kowtowed, but she didn't see Fulin's turning around, nor did she see the deep sorrow and emotion in his eyes. She only saw him squatting down, helping Qingru up, looking at her tear-stained face. Moved to seven points, she sighed and said: "Do you know, no one has ever said this to me, not even her, you are the first one, you shouldn't have said these words, but it sounds very comfortable to me, Wan Qing, You are so different, I don't even know how to treat you!"

Qingru raised her eyes and stared straight into his eyes, she saw the reflection of her long hair in his eyes, and for a moment there was only touch and tenderness in her heart: "Your Majesty!" She said softly.

"Get up first, how painful it is to kneel on the ground!" He pulled her up together, then pondered for a while and said: "I know you are angry today because I accepted Zipei, if someone else would you It’s not unreasonable to go to this point, I still understand your virtues, but what happened last night, alas... I don’t know where to start!"

There was a bit of distress and confusion on Fulin's face, as if there was something hard to say, Qingru didn't force him, she knew that she had pushed too far just now, so now she just waited for him to speak out, and Fulin really Lin made a sound: "Actually, I didn't know what happened last night. I changed the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night. Later, Zipei came in. She said that you asked her to bring the snacks, since you sent them Naturally, I have no reason not to eat, I am a little hungry anyway, but for some reason, after eating, I feel a little hot, and I regard Zipei as...seeing you, and then...!" Said He was a little annoyed at this point, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to.

Hearing this, Qingru finally felt relieved, at least it wasn't Fulin who fell in love with Zipei as Yue Ling said. It seemed that what happened last night was just a coincidence. Fulin probably didn't mean much to Zipei, let alone like.

Qingru concealed her dissatisfaction and said: "Since this is the case, it can be regarded as Zipei's good luck. It is better for her to be favored by the emperor and sealed as a concubine than for her to be a concubine before."

Fulin embraced Qingru and said: "As long as you don't get angry, it's fine. Do you know that when I just came in, I saw you crying so sadly, how much I felt sorry for you, the beauty's tears, the wine in the glass, you shed today Tears almost filled several wine glasses!"

Qingru pursed her lips in disbelief and said: "The emperor is lying to my concubine, how can someone cry so beautifully, my concubine must be ugly now!"

Fulin smiled and grabbed her hand and put it on his chest: "No way, my Wanqing is always the most beautiful, whether she is crying or smiling, she is equally beautiful!"

Knowing that he might not be the only one who said this, but Qingru still felt very happy when she heard it, and couldn't help laughing, this smile bloomed like a flower in the rain, she was startled by Fulin's look, and then smiled and said: "Okay, It's fine if you laugh, but don't cry anymore!"

Qingru nodded shyly, and raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears left on her face. Here, Fulin suddenly walked to the side of the piano she was playing just now, stretched out her hand to pluck it, and looked back and asked, "The song you played just now?" The song is very nice, what song is it?"

"It's the song composed by the concubine himself, and the lyrics are "One Cut Plum" by Li Qingzhao!"

Fulin pressed the strings with his hand and said, "Is this the only word you read just now?"

Qingru nodded, Fulin casually played a few times and said with a smile: "I remember seeing you play the piano for the first time, and you played this piece too, it seems that you like it very much!"

"First time?" Now it was Qingru's turn not to understand, she remembered that she had never played the piano in front of Fulin before, so when did he hear it.

Fulin showed memories, and whispered: "It was when you were a nobleman. One day when I passed Chonghua Palace, I heard the sound of a piano. It was so nice, so I walked over, but I didn't expect to find it was you. Playing, you are very serious about the way you play the music in Linyuanchi, it was the first time I heard you playing the piano, so I stayed for a while, but you didn't see it!"

"So that's how it is!" Qingru nodded suddenly, and before she could say anything else, Fulin pulled her to sit behind the piano, and said, "Play it again for me, I really like the song you composed yourself." song!"

"En!" Qingru nodded her head softly, tuned the strings and started to play. With the movement of her ten fingers, the piano sound flowed between her fingers. Fulin sat on the side and looked at her, and Qingru turned her head to look back at her from time to time. And laughed, and then separated again, until the end of the song broke the situation where the piano sound was in love.

"Okay!" Fulin came back to his senses, and clapped his hands in praise, causing Qingru to purse his lips and chuckle: "The emperor has heard a lot, how can this trivial skill of this concubine catch the emperor's ears!"

"That's the same thing, Wanqing's qin is comparable to others!" He suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, after listening to the qin, it's time for me to go!"

Hearing that he was going to leave, Qingru's heart twitched, she pretended to be nonchalant and said: "The emperor is leaving so soon?"

Fulin nodded and said: "Yes, I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with. I wanted to announce you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to accompany me to review the papers, but you refused, and you even said that you are not feeling well and there is nothing you can do. , I have no choice but to come and see you in person, you hypocritical little thing, I wouldn’t bother with someone else!” He patted Qingru’s cheek and continued: “I’m relieved to see that you’re not angry now , some papers will be sent out tomorrow morning, so they must be approved tonight, I'm afraid I won't even have time to sleep!"

He thought he was going to see others, but he didn't expect it to be for the important affairs of the government, and he didn't expect him to be so caring about him, to see himself first while ignoring the business, but he still treated him like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit Ashamed, she grabbed Fulin's sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine will go with you, will I stay with you?"

Fulin held her hand and said: "No need, you are tired too, go to bed earlier, if you are free tomorrow, I will come to see you again, but these days are relatively busy, I am afraid I don't have much time to accompany you !"

"Is it because of Sanfan?" Qing Ru asked softly.Although it is said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but she is just asking a little bit now, and it is not in the way.

"How do you know?" Fulin asked curiously, he remembered that he hadn't said it.

"The concubine made a guess. When my elder brother and sister-in-law came to see my concubine yesterday, they mentioned that my elder brother was going to Guangdong to secretly investigate the matter of King Pingnan's Shang Kexi, and combined with the emperor's recent busyness, I guessed that it should be with the three It's related to the king of Fan!" Qing Ru said in an orderly manner.
