The beauty of the bird
in the
cage has passed away: I still remember the time when
I was in love with the thrush. After crossing, I thought I had taken the script of the heroine.
However, he did not want to have a woman who was held in the heart of the emperor and died in the palace in vain.
And the emperor did not care, but also not sad.
I didn’t dare to expose my identity as a woman, and I was treading on thin ice in the harem.
I don’t know what the high kings are thinking when they see us traversing women? Is there any difference between
me and those Hu Ji from foreign countries in their eyes? When I finished the
college entrance examination and prepared to check the results and choose my volunteer, I crossed. I
thought I was a princess and imperial concubine after crossing the high and low, and I was a talented female official no matter how bad it was.
But I must be dressed as a maid of honor, or the kind of person who wipes the floor, pours the bucket, and does chores.
Wipe faster! In today’s examination, there is a little dust on the ground. Beware of your head!
I stared bitterly at this group of new Jinshi who walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Everyone had studied hard for more than ten years. You were happy to be an official, and I was here to wipe the floor.
“Cuiyun, hurry up and go.”
I hesitated for a moment before I realized that this was a call to me, and I quickly promised, “Coming.”
Oh, my name is Cui Yun.
Even the name is terrible.
I followed the other ladies back to the Palace of Eternal Spring.
This was probably the most deserted place in the harem. There was only one unloved concubine Jing and her three maids-Wen Yan, Wen Ying, and me-I didn’t want to say that name. Besides, there were some little eunuchs who were responsible for cleaning.
But desolation has the advantage of desolation.
Jing Fei has a gentle character and is not harsh on people. If the rules are bad, I will just laugh it off. If no one comes, there will be no dispute. No dispute means that I don’t have to worry about whether my head is still in place. When
I went to deliver the medicine to Jing Fei, she was leaning against the window and looking out at the branches that had just sprouted. She was really beautiful, and the moment I saw her, all that was left in my mind was the phrase, “As white as the snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon among the clouds.” I don’t know why such an immortal would be so neglected.
“Empress, it’s time to drink the medicine.” I went over and gave a so-so salute, and she looked at me and smiled again.
I do not understand, every time Jing Fei looked at me will smile, my salute is not very standard, far from the point of making people laugh, but she is particularly good to me, forget it, laugh, be laughed at and will not lose a piece of meat.
“I know. You can put it down.” After laughing, she turned to look at the tree again.
I put the medicine aside. “Empress, what are you looking at?”
She did not look at me again, nor did she answer my question. “Cuiyun, do you want to live in the future?”
My nose is sour. I don’t want to wipe the floor and do chores. I want to go home. I miss my parents.
I replied, “I..” The maidservant would like to be with the empress forever.
For a long time, when I thought she was going to forget me, she finally waved her hand and let me go down. The life of a
palace maid was really boring, but it was not like some sour poets of later generations who said that they looked forward to the emperor’s pity every day.
Not to mention that I have not seen the emperor for so long, I think even if I am really a maid here, I do not want to place my life on a man. Sometimes
Wen Ying and I would be called, and a little eunuch would be pulled, and we would play the leaf card together.
Well, I can only say that the wisdom of the ancients is infinite, and I really can’t win the leaf card.
I should teach them a game I am familiar with and win it back sooner or later. I thought so indignantly when I lost again and was punished to make milk tea.
“What are you doing?” As soon as
I looked back, Anzhi did not know when to stand outside the door.
Half a year ago, when she drank the pearls I rubbed, she recognized me with tears.
And she crossed earlier than me, and she was more senior than me among the palace maids. She knew the gossip and human feelings in the palace like the palm of her hand. With her accompanying me, my life was much better. Would you like a cup of
milk tea? And pearls. I looked at her expression and thought I was a little dull.
So I added, “It’s made Biluochun Tea, and it tastes good.”
An Zhi looked at me bitterly. “So you’ve been through all this, and you just want to make milk tea for these ancients?”
I tasted the freshly cooked milk tea, secretly shocked, really good, but unfortunately there is no ice, otherwise it would be better to drink. In fact,
I wrote a book from memory. It is not accurate to say that I wrote from memory. I just wrote out the knowledge I had memorized, bits and pieces, including all aspects, politics, history, law, and even physics. Each section was classified into a book. What is worse
than not being able to take the college entrance examination is probably that you have finished the exam but you don’t know the score.
This pile of knowledge points is not to be put down or not to be put down.
I put the book next to my pillow and add it as soon as I remember something.
I always hold a thought: if one day, I go back, then the homework will not fall.
But I didn’t have the nerve to say it. I said it and she said I had a wooden head.
Seeing that I didn’t reply, she simply sat down next to me. “Don’t you want to have a grand love affair across time?”
I handed over a cup of milky tea and refused, saying, “I don’t want to. I’m not an adult yet.”
She looked at me noncommittally. “But aren’t the girls here married at the age of 14 or 15?”? Why do you want to look at the present with the thoughts of the future?
I thought about it seriously. “I’m not from here.”. Girls here get married at the age of 14 or 15 because their thinking is backward and their medical skills are underdeveloped.
She can’t understand me, and I can’t understand her.
Seeing that her face was getting worse and worse, I changed the subject. “Did you sneak out?”? Be careful that Song Mei-ren finds out and punishes you.
Anzhi drank up the milk tea in one breath and hugged my arm. “Don’t worry, no one noticed.”. It’s better for Concubine Jingfei. She won’t be angry if she knows I’m coming. I’ll save some money and see if I can transfer to Concubine Jingfei.
When not talking about these things, Anzhi is actually a very lovely girl, her face still has a little baby fat, a smile shows two dimples.
She told me a lot of gossip in the palace, such as Lin Meiren breaking Zhaoyi’s glass lamp and being punished to kneel, Sun promised to read that the young man he knew outside the palace did not want to sleep.
I asked the little eunuch to help me send the milk tea away, and the two of us stayed here until sunset, when she reluctantly left. In the middle of
the night, I lay in bed in a daze and suddenly felt my body being shaken.
“Lie on your side, Cuiyun. Mammy is coming.”
The ruler seemed to hit me again, and I suddenly woke up and silently turned sideways and curled up. I don’t
sleep well, and I suffered a lot because of this in the first two days.
It turns out that palace maids even have all kinds of rules for sleeping.
After Mammy left, I got up. Mammy wasn’t coming back. Now we can do whatever we want.
Today, Wen Ying and I were the only two people left in the room.
Anyway, I was sober, so I sat up, put on my shoes and went to the table to continue writing my book. Wen Ying put her chin on her arm and lay down to look at me. At the beginning, she found that I would come over to look at it curiously when I wrote it. After a long time, she lost interest.
After a while, Wen Ying asked, “Is Anzhi here again today?”
I concentrated on writing, “Coming.” It was not
until I finished writing and went back to bed that I heard her continue, “I have something to tell you. Don’t blame me for gossiping.”. I also listened to the little eunuch who played cards. I heard that Song Meiren had a big fire a few days ago. It seems that. An Zhi intends to seduce the emperor.
Then she sighed, “She’s beautiful, and it’s normal to have this idea. If you want to be an empress, that’s all. But I see that she’s very close to you, and I don’t think she’s a person who covets the powerful.”. It would be even worse if he were sincere. The emperor has three thousand beautiful women in his harem, and what he doesn’t lack is sincerity. She doesn’t have any background. What’s the difference between throwing a sincere heart into the sea and dropping a needle into the sea?
“Back in the old days, our empress was also the crown of the six palaces, and how beautiful it was, but it’s still not..”
She didn’t say anything more, but said, “Don’t be like her and get confused. You’ll have to endure it for a few more years. When you’re old enough, you’ll ask the empress for a favor and leave the palace.”
When the time comes, you’ll go to the northwest, where the smoke of the desert and the bright moon of Guanshan are not better than this palace courtyard. Think of when we were in the Northwest Army.
Her voice faded a little, and the sound of even breathing was evident in the silence of the night.
I kept my eyes open, trying to make a hole in the invisible night. When
I came here, I was still a little maid who had just been transferred from Yeting. This was the first time I heard them talk about their past.
Jing Fei was born in the General’s Office. She lived with her parents in the northwest border when she was young. Wen yuanyuan and Wen Ying also grew up with her. It is said that when the three of them just returned to Beijing, their behavior was vulgar, and they were often laughed at by the ladies in the capital.
Now think about it, although the border is bitter and cold, but at that time there were family and friends, and there were no rules that tortured people everywhere in the palace, it should be a very good time.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t go to see it. I hope that after I leave, I can come back and see the scenery they said.
I always feel that my information is rather less well informed than others, such as now. When I was on my
way to the Xifang Hall, I realized that the man who had called me over might be Anzhi. I haven’t seen her come to me for some time
since I said goodbye to her that day. When did Anzhi seal the title of a noble person? I continued to think about
this problem until I stood outside the door of the Xifang Hall. Not far from the
emperor’s guard of honor, I knelt on one side and could only peep at a figure.
When the guard of honor was out of sight, I got up and went into the hall. Just as I was about to salute, a thin white hand stretched out in front of me and held me up.
“Oh, don’t kneel. Even if I become a noble person, we are still good sisters, aren’t we?” Anzhi pulled me in as intimately as she had done before, waving her hand to the others and saying, “You all go out.”
I looked at her, wearing an ice-blue bracelet on her wrist, wearing pearls and jade, and beautiful clothes, which we could not buy with the monthly money we saved all our lives when we were palace maids. Anzhi looked much more relaxed
without anyone else. She reclined on the soft couch with shining eyes and patted me beside her to sit down.
“Don’t worry. The emperor is very kind to me. He also says that I am lively and charming, and that I am different from ordinary women.” She took out another bracelet from the dressing table, which was as bright as the one in her hand. “Yes, this is for you, one for each of us.”
I looked at her and couldn’t bear to ruin her happiness, but I still asked, “Unlike ordinary women, Anzhi, you told him that you came through time, right?”
She was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. “Don’t worry, I didn’t say anything about you. He won’t care about this. I..” “Are you in love with him?”
I asked.
Anzhi’s face turned red. She didn’t answer. I was speechless for a while. I thought I probably knew the answer.
But I still can’t believe it. “How long have you known him?”? You just trust him? What if he lied to you? What if he thinks you are evil and wants to put you to death?
An Zhi’s shy expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. I didn’t know he was the emperor at first, and I was thinking about something so weird that even if I told him, no one would believe him. “Do you remember the guard brother I told you the other day who was very kind to me and came to see me and brought me food every time I was punished?”
She continued in a mysterious way.
I don’t know how to describe how I feel now. Art really comes from life. “So he is the emperor?”.
I watched her nod shyly and sweetly. Most of the
slots have no openings.
I was forced to listen to her sweet love experience with the emperor for an hour, and finally walked out of the hall with a wooden face.
Before leaving, she gave me a piece of paper on which she recorded all the people she had heard about who had behaved abnormally like us at a certain time, including even the concubines in the cold palace. I did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Aren’t the concubines in the cold palace really driven mad?”
She shook her head nonchalantly. “I’ll write it all down first, and I’ll give you an analysis of what works and what doesn’t. My brain doesn’t work as well as yours.”
I grabbed the piece of paper. “Anzhi, do you want to go back?”
She looked at me quietly and thought for a while before seriously saying, “Ah Yun, don’t worry about me. I’m not like you. I’m an orphan and I don’t have a family. Maybe it’s fate. I want to be with him all the time.” “Even if he has other women?”
I asked.
She nodded. “Just being with him and seeing him often is enough.”
I don’t know how to persuade a person who is in love that love is not reliable.
I refused her offer to transfer to the Hall of Fragrance, and I did not take the bracelet.
Later, when I remembered it again, I found that maybe I was lucky at this time, maybe Anzhi really found the true love she wanted to find.
Everyone thinks he is the lucky one.
Jing Fei’s illness became more and more serious. In the
autumn, she can only lie in bed all day.
The doctor said that she didn’t want to live.
In her rare sober time, she often pulled me to talk about the fact that they had not yet entered the palace, that she dressed up as a small soldier and secretly went to the battlefield to scare her parents half to death, that she shot the enemy generals off the horse, that she met wolves on the grassland, that she saw the bright moon shining on the mountains and rivers..
She is really a very good person, she is highly skilled in martial arts, not inferior to any man, she is kind-hearted, the money saved over the years has been sent to the border or relief refugees, or as military pay.
I thought, if only she could go with me to modern times, she wouldn’t have to disguise herself as a man, she wouldn’t have to be trapped in a house, she could see all the scenery she wanted to see and help anyone she wanted to help.
She never said anything about her and the emperor, and I didn’t ask her.
It was one afternoon that Wen Ying told me.
I asked her, “won’t the empress mind if you say that?”
She shook her head and said that almost everyone in the capital knew that the empress didn’t care. When
Jing Fei met the emperor, she was eighteen years old, and she was already an old maid in the capital.
She met him at a flower feast. She was skilled in martial arts, but not in writing. In the embarrassment of ridicule, the handsome young man relieved the girl. From then on,
the two became familiar with each other. The young man taught the young girl to recite poems and paint, and the young girl helped the young man to eradicate dissidents. When the young man wanted to go to war, the young girl, regardless of the secular vision, accompanied him to give advice for him.
Wen Ying said, “That useless piece of trash, he just wants to use her, use the General’s Office.” Wen Ying has always been bold
in the absence of others.
In the end, he became the crown prince and she became the crown princess, and their story became a popular story in the capital.
Wen Ying sighed again: “If only time could stop at that time. I will always remember how happy she was when she first became the Crown Princess.”
But then the story is like countless men who cheat and change their minds after marriage. He loves her because she is unruly, and he doesn’t love her because of this. Their feelings are exhausted in the daily quarrels.
He also fell in love with a gentle and gentle woman, who would never disobey him and would never be better than him, so he made her queen.
In the end, love, status and power were not hers, and she became a hostage in the palace for him to threaten the general’s office.
Wen Ying says, “That idiot couldn’t figure it out. The General’s Office has been guarding the frontier for generations. If he wanted to, he would have gone against it long ago.”
Wen Ying laughed out loud as she spoke. “That waste, that waste..” He even gave her the word “quiet” as a title. Who is he hating?!
She laughed and cried again.
Later, a few days later, Jing Fei’s health suddenly improved, and I just thought that the medicine of the Imperial Physician had finally worked.
I held Jing Fei’s hand and listened to her say nothing.
“Oh, Cuiyun, if you can get out of the palace one day, you can go out. I have some silver left here. You three can share it. It’s enough for you to eat for the rest of your life. If you like it, you can raise a handsome young man.” As she said this, she laughed to herself, “How nice!”
“Don’t be like me, living a life of nothing and being a joke.” I
fell in love with someone I shouldn’t have, and I got my parents into trouble. I didn’t dare to live, and I couldn’t die. Now, this is also a relief.
I can’t figure out why in just half a year, she has changed from a great beauty who is just a little sick to this kind of shape. Just like I can’t figure out why a woman who used to be so beautiful and flamboyant would wear plain clothes all day and be trapped in the palace like she is now.
Her hand was in the palm of my hand, as if it would break at a touch. When the
first snow fell, Jing Fei had no strength to say anything to me, so I could only read the script to her, but she didn’t listen attentively and always looked out of the window at the trees. When
I read a paragraph and looked at her again, I found that she would never respond to me.
She died so quietly.
Palace imperial concubine suicide is a big crime, will ask her parents, all the time, she can only live like this, watching her parents every day for their fear, watching her former lover and other couples love, hope that in the next life, she can realize her ambition, can meet a person who will not let her down.
Unfortunately, I don’t know her name until now.
I thought I would alway be a spectator from another world, but that death of Jing Fei was like a thread, which eventually brought me into this era.
Wen Wan and Wen Ying cried so much that they almost fainted.
Wen Ying lay on the bed, like a dead man, not eating or drinking, motionless, and I accompanied her.
After a while, I heard her speak faintly: “I grew up with the empress. When she went to war, I went with her. When she was punished, I went with her. Now that she’s gone there alone, what can we do?”.
Wen Kite leaned against me and sobbed. There seemed to be something choking in
my throat, and I couldn’t speak for a long time. I could only tell her to live well. Jing Fei also hoped that you would live and go out of the palace for her.
She pinched my face and did not speak.
The next day, we found Wen Ying hanging in Jing Fei’s room. Wen Ying is just a little maid of honor, no family, the general’s office people are in the border, no one came to get her body. I secretly stuffed some silver into the little eunuch who came to dispose of the body and begged him to find a good place to bury Wenying. A
few days later, Wen said that Jing Fei had gone to the queen to ask for grace before she died, so that we could leave the palace early. She asked me if I would leave, but I refused. An Zhi was still here, and I wanted to stay here to find a way to go home.
Finally, she left alone. She said that the body of Jing Fei would be buried in the imperial concubine mausoleum. She could not take it away. At least she would take her belongings back to the northwest and to the General’s Office.
I gave her most of the silver left by Jing Fei. I told her that I didn’t need any money in the palace alone. She went to the northwest and put safety first.
Wen Kite hugged me and cried for a long time. She was the only one of the three of them. I hope she can live a good life.
I watched her back go farther and farther, and finally she was covered by the huge palace gate. A
few days later, I was assigned to work in the new palace, and when I left, I took the leaf card.
Anzhi was afraid that I would be wronged elsewhere, so she asked me to go there.
At this point, Palace of Eternal Spring, only a few ladies were left to clean up occasionally.
And I have been here for almost a year, according to the record on the paper, I visited countless people in private, even secretly went to the cold palace, tried many possibilities, and never found a way to go back. The days
with Fangdian were not sad, and I gradually got used to the life of chatting and gossiping with Anzhi every day, as if I had returned to the days when we were palace maids.
Until that day the emperor’s footsteps stopped in front of me.
I was sealed beauty, I think at that moment my face must be very ugly, I saw the corner of the eye next to Anzhi instantly turned pale face and hanging in her eyes shaky tears.
I don’t know what attracted his attention, but in the face of the supreme power, Anzhi and I have no room to refuse.
In the evening, I waited in the bedroom with trepidation.
I have imagined the scene of marriage many times, but I never thought it would be like this, awkward and full of resentment.
I suddenly remembered the weak but gentle woman who was still thinking about others before she died.
I’m sorry, Jing Fei, I can’t get out of the palace, and I can’t raise a handsome young man.
“Are you angry?”
A voice came from behind.
I got up hurriedly. It was the emperor. I didn’t even realize when he was coming. “I’m just a little nervous.” Some laughter
came from the top of my head. I raised my head and looked at him so closely for the first time. He was handsome and elegant. No wonder Anzhi fell in love with him.
“Don’t be nervous.” He just sat down. There was no further movement. I was relieved. “How old are you this year?”
This night, nothing happened to us. I listened to him talk about what happened all night.
I have my own palace, but I still like to run to Anzhi, although the atmosphere between the two of us is somewhat awkward.
I asked her, “Anzhi, will you hate me?”
She shook her head. In this way, the emperor and
I became a pair of nominal kings and favorite concubines.
He always likes to talk to me about this and that, sometimes the parties in the court are numerous, sometimes the officials are greedy, sometimes the provocations of the small frontier fortress countries.. Sometimes
I answer him, but more often than not, I am a silent listener.
I also heard from him that the general had retired and returned home, and the family had returned to their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.
I think this is good, Jing Fei empress’s brother died in battle in his early years, the general also suffered a lot of wounds over the years, already not suitable for the battlefield, if Jing Fei empress know this news will be happy. In the
middle of the night, I just closed the book and lay down. She came to me
with the maid of Fangdian and said that Anzhi had drunk too much and kept shouting to find me.
I hurried over with my clothes on. Before
I entered the door, I heard Anzhi’s noisy voice, but when she saw me, she quieted down.
She stood quietly in the moonlight, pale and emaciated. She was obviously too drunk to stand steadily, but she still held her head high and looked at me stubbornly. “What are you doing here?”
I walked over and said, “I heard you were looking for me, so I came over.”
She shook off my hand and stared at me like this. I didn’t know what to say. I could only look at her quietly.
Watching, her eyes gradually red, the whole person into my arms crying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” If I hadn’t transferred you to the Xifang Palace, you wouldn’t have been noticed by the emperor.
I was a little surprised. I thought she was struggling with the fact that I had robbed her lover, but I didn’t think she was struggling with this. I patted her on the back. “It’s not your fault. Even if I don’t come to the Palace, I’ll meet the emperor somewhere else. I don’t blame you.”
She looked up with tears in her eyes. “You can’t get out of the palace even if you want to. What are you going to do?”
I smiled and said with relief, “Then I won’t go out. I’ll stay here with you.”
The emperor sometimes stares into my eyes, and I think I probably know why. In the
past, when I was in Palace of Eternal Spring, Wen Ying often said that my eyes were very similar to those of Jing Fei, not in shape, but in spirit. Before entering the palace, her eyes were as bright as a burning fire, as if nothing was difficult for her, just like me now. The words that
the emperor said to me were similar to those of Jing Fei, but I think she would not have looked at him alone in pain and silence as I do now.
After all, I don’t love him.
I looked at his pretentious appearance and just wanted to sneer.
Anzhi often said that she didn’t know what kind of man could capture my heart.
I replied to her, “a wise man does not fall in love, but a widowed king is rich all the way.”. My sister is a woman who has to go back to study.
She laughed and fell to one side.
An Zhi was pregnant, which was a rare piece of good news in the broken half year. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, the empresses and concubines had nothing to do. If the child was born safely, it would be the eldest son or daughter.
The emperor often came to see her. At that time, I would hide out secretly. I didn’t like him, but Anzhi often had a smile on her face because of his arrival.
I don’t know if this is a good thing. On the day of
Lunar New Year’s Eve, the two of us held the quilt and watched the New Year in the Xifang Hall. There were no stars or moon in the sky
outside, and one after another fireworks shone on the night sky as if it were day.
“I’m so scared.” I heard Anzhi say. “
Don’t be afraid,” I replied. “This is a royal palace. There are royal doctors. The emperor won’t let anything happen to you.” “And I will accompany you.”
She chuckled and shook her head. “I heard he gave another title to a dancer from the Western Regions a few days ago.”
I nodded. I had heard a little about it. It was a long
time before I heard her continue, “Do you think he came to see me because of me or because of this child?”
“Is there any difference between when he looks at me and when he looks at that dancer?”
Then I heard her murmuring, “I don’t think so. We are all new women to him. What we think is not important.”. Without this child, I am afraid he would not have thought of me. What
I know, I actually know. I just can’t admit it.
“Ah Yun, what’s the difference between women like us and those who have been abducted and sold into the mountains?”
The topic was too heavy for me to go on, so I said, “If I find a way to go back, I’ll tell you. When you get tired of staying, you can go home.”
She never said that again, and sometimes I look back and think that all this uneasiness and fear was just my illusion.
I thought everything was going well. I went to her place to chat with her as usual
that day, and she was sitting at the table.
When she saw me come in, she smiled and waved to me, “Come on, you’re the only one missing.”
My poker game is still not improving. I used to have my face covered with stickers, but now I almost lost all my jewelry.
She ostentatiously raised the chips in her hand and gulped down the water in her glass. “You really haven’t made any progress at all.”
“Do it again, do it again, do it again. I’m sure I’ll win it back.” I pressed on the last hairpin.
“All right, you..” Before she
had finished speaking, her body suddenly fell out of her chair uncontrollably, and black blood spilled from her lips.
“An Zhi!”
I rushed and hugged her. Her mouth opened and closed, and she didn’t say a complete sentence for a long time.
Please ask the Imperial Physician! Go on! I gave a hard push to the silly little maid of honor next to me.
The little maid of honor staggered a step, almost fell down, and rolled and crawled away.
“Anzhi, Anzhi, hold on. The Imperial Physician will be here soon.”
I.. I
Anzhi’s mouth and nose kept bleeding, and her lower body was soaked with blood.
I tried to wipe her clean with trembling hands, but she caught me suddenly.
I think.. Go home.
Her voice was almost inaudible.
Tears blurred my eyes, and I could only nod desperately, “Go home, let’s go home.”
The Imperial Physician still hasn’t arrived.
Her breath disappeared little by little, my body was covered with her blood, I could not hear anything, I could only hear the sound of going home.
One body, two lives.
In the end, it ended with the execution of a little maid of honor in Imperial Kitchen, but I know the truth is not like this, a little maid of honor, where to get such poison.
I used to only know that the palace is lonely, but now I know that it is only the tip of the iceberg in this man-eating harem. I have been hiding behind Jing Fei and An Zhi all the time. I am the most stupid and ignorant person. On the day
of Anzhi’s burial, I drank a lot of wine in my own palace. The aqua blue bracelet on my
hand hurt my wrist, and the other one, which was exactly the same as it, was placed in the mausoleum with her.
A year, can go back, I actually have no confidence, but that distant home is like a dream, hanging on my thoughts, let me live alone in this palace.
I held the glass tightly, just as Anzhi held my hand tightly that day.
Real life is far less simple and relaxed than Gong Dou game in the mobile phone.
Especially when you’re determined to kill someone.
I am just an ordinary person, I am not qualified to judge anyone, but the power is in favor of the wicked.
Every night, I looked blankly at this desolate palace, and I couldn’t even tell who I was.
After Anzhi died, the emperor treated me better.
In just two months, I went from the seventh grade of beauty to the fourth grade of Jieyu, the brocade in Sichuan, the agate in the north, and all kinds of rewards were carried into my Linhua Hall like running water.
I also used these two months to find out the complicated interpersonal relationships in the harem.
I waited for a long time, and the opportunity finally appeared. When I came out
of the Queen’s Palace to pay my respects, Wang Zhaoyi suddenly grabbed me and rambled with me. Today the weather is good, and my sister looks good.
I smiled and echoed that
I was not familiar with the people in the harem, so I quietly watched what demon she wanted to be.
Sure enough, when she came to a secluded path, she said as if she had no intention of saying, “Sister Ann is not walking safely. If you feel sad, you can come to Jinghe Temple and talk to me.”
My heart a Rin, began.
I squeezed out two tears. “Anzhi has a hard life. She ate such a deadly thing by mistake.”
Sure enough, she couldn’t hold her breath. She comforted me and said, “a few days ago, someone in my palace saw the emerald from the Queen’s Palace sneaking around in the Imperial Hospital. Is it possible that the Queen is ill?” Then
she went back
. The queen was not ill. She just wanted to tell me that the poison was from the queen.
I looked at her back and smiled happily. If she didn’t say I would check it myself, I might have to check it for some time. Now things are much simpler. Wang Zhaoyi and
I gradually got closer.
Later, I learned that she was the famous Xiliu Jushi, and that the book I read to Empress Jingfei was also written by her. Her mind seemed to have an endless supply of wonderful ideas. After
getting familiar with her, I often took some books from her, and she did not blame me, and even took the initiative to send me a copy of the latest one.
In the evening, I sat at my desk, in front of me was the book I had written, scattered, even written in four volumes, folded up to half my palm.
I haven’t written it for a long time. The last time I wrote it was in Anzhi Palace. She noisily wrote me an article “On Epidemic Febrile Disease” and asked me to add it. I didn’t expect that she, who could not sit still, could recite it. There are two volumes of Treatise on Epidemic Febrile Diseases. She said she would finish writing from memory and add another volume to my book. Unfortunately, the first volume is not finished yet, but she is gone. My handwriting is different
from hers. I used to think about waiting for me to leave and then take it out. Naturally, I didn’t think so much about it. Now I can only tear down the few pieces she wrote and add them to my copy.
The next day, I took the books to the Imperial Study.
I never came to him on my own initiative, and when he saw me, he was obviously a little incredulous.
I knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
I told him that it was written by Anzhi and asked me to give it to His Majesty after her death.
I told him that Anzhi said that she could not help Your Majesty as a little girl, but only hoped to borrow some future technology to share Your Majesty’s worries.
He looked at the books in silence for a long time, and finally sighed and said, “I am sorry for her.”
Our plan is also proceeding in an orderly way.
Wang Zhaoyi did not know where to find the evidence of the queen’s murder of the heir.
The queen killed Anzhi, and it became an ironclad case.
I put the matter before His Majesty. When
I presented the evidence, he was neither shocked nor angry. He just looked at me calmly.
He asked me, “Do you think it was the queen who murdered the heir?”
Ghosts and gods, I raised my head, and he looked at the moment, I suddenly understand why Wang Zhaoyi collected the evidence so quickly, so complete.
I see. I see.
With the help of the biggest master in the world, what kind of evidence do you want.
I, Wang Zhaoyi, Jing Fei, the queen, are just the chess pieces of the people in front of them.
I steadied myself and smiled calmly at him. “Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive.”
As a result, the queen was deposed as a commoner. What about
the chess pieces? I just want to avenge Anzhi. After
this incident, he stayed in my palace for a long time, saying without beginning or ending, “You and Anzhi are very similar.”
I was surprised. What did he find?
I steeled myself and pretended to be calm. “Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a long time.”
He nodded and did not pursue the issue.
I knelt on the ground and looked at the back of his departure, only to find that the cold sweat had soaked through his clothes.
The queen was in the air, and almost all the people in the harem acquiesced that the next queen would be the imperial concubine.
But I know it won’t.
The imperial concubine was born in the Wang family of Langya. The cremation in the court had too much power, and most of the official positions were monopolized by the cremation. The emperor intended to support the poor family to fight against it, and decided that it was impossible to seal a queen who was born in the cremation.
Besides, I won’t let her be the imperial concubine so smoothly again. When Wang Zhaoyi came to me
that day, I knew that Anzhi’s death had something to do with Wang Guifei behind her.
Sure enough, I checked and verified in many ways that the little palace maid in Imperial Kitchen often came and went with the palace people in the imperial concubine’s palace before her death. Her family was in the hands of the imperial concubine, and she could only work for the imperial concubine.
Wang Zhaoyi and Wang Guifei are cousins, and it is not surprising that they do such a thing for the benefit of the family.
As for the queen, she did not do it, but became a silent person who knew the whole situation. In
the past six months, I often inadvertently mentioned Anzhi’s kindness in front of the emperor, and occasionally expressed some views on the situation in the court.
The emperor said, “The power of the various families is so intertwined that it is difficult to attack them.”
I said, “The imperial concubine has an ostentatious character, and she often asks the sisters to come and admonish her.”
The emperor was suspicious. I couldn’t tell him directly to do it quickly. I could only tell him carefully that the royal family was so powerful that it had reached the point of ignoring the imperial power.
Soon after, a scandal broke out in the Qilu area.
The emperor is finally going to do it.
Sure enough, the Wangs were all involved in this muddy water. Those who were dismissed from office were dismissed, and those who were exiled were exiled. When the
news came into the palace, Wang Guifei knelt at the door of the Imperial Study for a whole day, not knowing what to say, which made the emperor furious and was put into the cold palace.
Later, I heard that she scolded the emperor and then committed suicide.
I never went to Wang Zhaoyi again, and when I met her again on the road, she walked alone in the rain with an umbrella. The servants in the
palace were the best at judging the hour and sizing up the situation. The Wangs had collapsed, and her life was not easy. When
she saw me, she just looked at me calmly and passed me by.
She was particularly indulgent to me because of guilt, and she transferred her guilt to me.
In this matter, she wants to plan for her family, and I want to avenge Anzhi.
Maybe we are all wrong, maybe we are not wrong, but we all know that we can only go on like this.
We never had a second choice.
We can’t face each other anymore. When the
Ministry of Works got the book, it really worked out something. The emperor was delighted and gave Anzhi a posthumous title that he didn’t know exactly what it was called. I had just come back from Palace of Eternal Spring when I
heard the news, and I didn’t listen carefully. All the people around me were dead. What’s the use of sealing this letter again.
I often like to go to the Palace of Eternal Spring and the Caifang Palace, where no one lives and no one cares what I am doing inside.
I sat by the window where Jingfei often sat, and found that there was something buried under the tree she often looked at, which was washed out by the rain. No one came here, and no one cared about it. When I dug
it up, I found it was an old box with a pair of gold bracelets inside and a note with a line of small characters that read, “What’s up with Chi-kuo?”
It was the handwriting of Jing Fei, probably a token of love between her and the emperor in the old year.
I put them back and buried them carefully, not knowing whether they were missing the past or mourning the dead love when Jingfei looked at them in the past.
Most of the time, I am sitting in my own palace in a daze. After all,
I am not really a concubine who belongs to this era. I don’t like people around me, nor do I like to restrain the palace people in my palace.
I looked at those little ladies who laughed and laughed, lost the leaf card and were pasted with notes all over their faces, as if I had seen myself who had been defeated repeatedly in the past and had made countless cups of milk tea but still gambled from time to time.
To this day, I seem to have everything, and I seem to have nothing. As a modern man,
my mind does not allow me to integrate into this era numbly, but my soul is decaying day by day in this palace.
I don’t know whether the emperor knows my mind or not. Maybe it doesn’t matter to him whether he knows it or not. What
I want to do is just what he wants, so there is nothing wrong with helping me.
Such a person, perhaps once loved someone, perhaps his heart is full of guilt and nostalgia for someone, but in the final analysis, he loves himself most, and his supreme power. The
days go on like this, neither salty nor light. In the spring of
another year, a new girl came to the palace.
They are bright and beautiful, like flowers blooming in early spring.
I suddenly remembered the high-spirited young people in red robes I had seen when I first came. They were walking on the way to the court. Their lives had just begun.
It’s night.
I sat in the pavilion at the top of the palace, and the chilly spring breeze tore my face.
Today is the fifteenth, the moon shines brightly on the earth, just like the day I came, I lay in bed, opened my eyes, and saw the moonlight falling like frost in front of my window.
Want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, the end is not like, youth swim. When I saw this sentence
before, I thought I understood it very thoroughly, but I didn’t.
I looked at the empty palace. The moonlight could not drive away the darkness. It was as quiet as a tomb where countless people were buried. The guilty people were all dead, and few innocent people survived. For a moment, I couldn’t tell whether it was the feudal imperial power that killed them or me who had to depend on the imperial power.
Or I just didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
I tore up the paper that Anzhi had left me with the strange things in the palace and threw it down. The scattered pieces of paper were like butterflies with broken wings and paper money flying everywhere. I held a memorial ceremony for those who had died and for myself.
True or false, it is like a fog, so that I can no longer see the road ahead.
I want to go home, but can I really go home as if nothing had happened? When I jumped down
from the high platform, I was still thinking about this question. The wind whistled around my ears, and the dizziness of falling made me only see the empty night sky.
At the moment when I was about to touch the ground, the dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of me, the small desk full of books, the fluffy and warm quilt was still folded on the bed, and two years later, I saw my bedroom again.
The white light enveloped me.
I’m finally free.
