Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 18 The Rain Between Flowers (4)

Since the imperial concubine Dong Eshi was pregnant and could no longer serve her bed, the number of other concubines in Fulinxing has increased significantly. Surprisingly, the one who is most favored by the king is neither the beautiful concubine Tong, nor the tender and tender Zhen. However, it was Rixi who entered the palace with Qingru and the others, that Rixi who was still a bit childish, Fulin would always turn over her signboard three or four times every ten days!In comparison, Shui Yin's limelight is not as dazzling as before.

Fulin seems to like Rixi's innocence and frankness very much, and her smile that is as clean as a spring without any other things. She is the only one in the palace who dares to tell him the truth that even the imperial concubine dare not tell.

Perhaps because the emperors are lonely, they are more eager to hear the truth than others. Now it is rare to meet a woman with such a lovely personality who is not afraid of his identity, so they are very happy.When the beauty is no longer overwhelming, the unique character can often stand out in the harem full of beauties!

Judging from Fulin's intention, it seems that she intends to be promoted to Rixi's position again, maybe she will be the first among the four of them to be promoted to the concubine position!

According to the rules in the palace, as long as you are promoted to the position of concubine, you can be called empress, and your concubine can even become the master in the future, taking charge of the affairs of the palace.

In the palace, there is one imperial concubine, two imperial concubines, four imperial concubines, and five noble concubines under the empress. The above 12 persons are in charge of the East, West and Twelve Palaces.There are eight concubines under him, who can be called empresses. As for the nobles, who are always present, and who agree, there is no fixed number. Not counted among official concubines.Among the official concubines in the palace, only Ke concubine was of Han origin, the daughter of Shi Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Presumably, she has something to make Fulin emotional, so she must be an out-of-the-box concubine!
When Qingru heard the news, she just smiled lightly, and continued to play her piano. Opposite her was the sparkling Linyuan Pool, and the sun shone on the water like a layer of golden light.The golden-red carps are swimming around in the pond, jumping out of the water from time to time to grab the fish food thrown by Yueling. Seeing this, Qingru can't help but think of a debate between Zhuangzi and Huizi on Yuhaoliang during the Warring States Period:
Zhuangzi said: "Swift fish swim leisurely, is it the joy of fish?" Huizi said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?" Zhuangzi said: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?" Huizi said "I am not a son, I do not know the son; I am not a fish, the son does not know the joy of the fish, it is complete." Zhuangzi said: "Please follow the principle. The one who said, 'Ru'an knows the joy of the fish' said, both Know what I know and ask me. I know Haoshang also."

Compared with her, fish should be happy, at least they don't know what is, and don't know why sadness is suffering. If there is reincarnation in the next life, she will never choose to be a human again. Being a human is too tiring. She would rather be a small fish. From birth to death, he always swims and plays in the running water so carefree.

It's just that this life is not over yet, she will continue to live for the sake of her elderly parents outside the palace wall, and let them know that her daughter is still alive.

Ding ding dong dong the sound of the piano flows through her fingers with the plucking of the strings. Although living alone in the Chonghua Palace is lonely, there are netting forests to enjoy in autumn and winter, and Linyuan pond in spring and summer. You can play the piano and write in your spare time. This place has a bit of the taste of Tao Yuanming's Xanadu.

The king's pity for her has long since given up her delusions, and her heart has been dusted to die peacefully in this deep palace. In fact, it may not be a blessing.It's just day and night... Alas, it may not be a good thing for her to be favored suddenly. She is inexperienced and has no plans to deal with all kinds of open and secret battles.

Although there is Fulin's favor and Concubine Tong's protection now, the king's favor cannot last long, who knows when it will pass away, and Concubine Tong is just using the day and night to divide Dong E Xianglan's favor, waiting for the day and night is useless Or when she has the ability to threaten her, I am afraid that the first thing she will get rid of is Rixi.

As for Fulin... Does he really like to hear the truth?I'm afraid it's not necessarily true, Qingru recalled an incident that Ama had inadvertently mentioned before.

The year before last, that is, in the 12th year of Shunzhi, a prefect official in Yangzhou suddenly reported to the court one day, saying that a strange stone fell from the sky and landed in the government office. Wu Wen Ling Wu ascends the heavens and the earth to be right!"

After hearing this, Shunzhi was furious. Doesn’t this clearly mean that the Qing Dynasty emphasized literature, while the Qing Dynasty emphasized martial arts? for orthodox.

Shunzhi believed that this strange stone was a warning from the heavens that someone in the south of the Yangtze River intended to rebel, and sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate the matter on the spot.

With this order, countless literati were implicated. Good poems, because of the words Ming and Qing in them, immediately became reminders, ranging from confiscating a family to the army, and beheading at worst. There were countless unjust cases in a short time.

People in the south of the Yangtze River were suddenly panicked, and the style of writing was sluggish.

It is reported that there were as many as 270 people who were arrested at that time, and it was the first rape case that emerged after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs!

At that time, a Han official who served as the Minister of Guanglu Temple in Beijing couldn't bear it. In the early court, he asked the emperor to open the Internet and re-examine the matter. He boldly pointed out that the so-called strange stone was not a warning from heaven, but someone deliberately made it .Sony and several officials in the court thought that what he said was justified and should be re-examined, but Shunzhi refused to listen to the advice, and dismissed the Han official from office to search his home. Overnight, he was reduced from a third-rank official to a commoner. Life is saved by others!
The saying that companions are like companions to tigers is absolutely true. The emperor is eager to hear the truth, but he is most taboo to listen to the truth. Fulin is more interested in thinking about Rixi for a while. Once Rixi's truth offends him one day, Then Rixi's ending is probably a bit more bleak than that Han official's.

Thinking of this, the hand playing the piano couldn't help being a little stiff, and a mess appeared in the originally smooth piano room, and he sighed for a long time. Among the few of them, Shuiyin was steady, day and night were frank, and Yueling was timid. I only hope that Shuiyin can help more It's been a while, alas...

In the distance, a court lady ran over, it was Arlene who was beside Yueling, she couldn't hear what they were saying because of the distance, but Yueling came over quickly, as if she stopped playing the piano, She raised her head and asked if she had something to do, and as expected, Yue Ling nodded and replied: "A Lin told me that sister Xi is waiting for me to go back in my palace, sister, you might as well go with me, we sisters haven't been together for some time!"

Qingru thought for a while and shook her head, "Let's get together next time, I want to sit for a while longer!"

Watching her leave, Qing Ru played the tune again, and the ordinary strings seemed to have life under her hands. These days are no longer the time for heartache, and Fulin is like a lost dream in her previous life...

Love!But no longer foolish enough to reach out and touch!

Qin Yin leisurely recorded the changes in her mood these days, from thick to light, from light to passing, I believe that the next time I see Fulin again, she will be able to smile and say hello, but this smile...

Qingru closed her eyes and concentrated on playing the tune...

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.

This is "One Cut Plum" by Li Qingzhao. I composed a tune for it when I had nothing to do, and it sounds very pleasant to play...

Qingru, who was fully immersed in the song, didn't notice that there was an extra figure on the ground. The breeze was blowing, the willows were swaying slightly, and two figures, one tall and one short, were quietly imprinted on the ground!
