Ming Yue sighed, "You say, our Gege, so kind, how come there is not a good result?"
Caixia: "Yes, I've never seen such a good Gege, never scolding her lackeys, and treating us like family."
The two of them sighed as they left with the washbasin in their hands, leaving Xiaoyanzi alone in the house.
Yonghe Palace
Xinrongge anxiously asked the maidservant beside her, "Ning'er, is Yongqi still at Shufangzhai?"
"Back to Fujin, the Prince has already left Shufangzhai to go to Ruyi Pavilion to see the class painter."
"Then, let's go to Shufangzhai to see Returning Pearl!"
Xinrong brought her maid Ning'er to Shufangzhai, saw that there was no one there, did not feel strange, I heard that Little Swallow was seriously injured, but how come there was no one to serve, walked straight into Little Swallow's room, turned back to instruct Ning'er not to let any come in.
She slowly walked into the little swallow's bed, quietly looking at her, the sleeping little swallow is surprisingly quiet, there is a kind of restful beauty.
Xinrong think this way, suddenly a flash of vision, found that the bedside of their own familiar can not be familiar with things, is Yongqi's personal jade pendant, my mother said that it is Yongqi from childhood to wear things, and now even in the bedside of Little Swallow, xinrong eyes flashed a touch of pain color. Yongqi he has never treated himself like this. Thinking of this, he could not help but hold a grudge against the sleeping Little Swallow.
"If there is no you, Yongqi will surely love me, if there is no you, Yongqi is mine alone, why, why you have to appear." Said hand unexpectedly ghostly to reach out to Xiao Yanzi's neck. Unconsciously increased the force.
At that time, Mingyue Caixia came back from outside and saw that Xinrong's personal maid Ning'er was actually outside her own Gege's room.
"Mingyue, look, isn't that the fifth Fujin's maid, how come she's outside our Gege's room?" Caixia said in disbelief.
"I don't know, ah, it's hard to believe, Xinrong Gege is inside."
"That would be a big deal, the Fifth Argo's wedding threw down Fujin to find Gege, she must hate our family Gege, and not to our Gege, Gege must be in danger. We quickly go in ah."
The two men said, while going to rush inside, but Ning'er dead not allow to enter, Mingyue anxious, ruthlessly Ning'er pushed to one side, rushed into the house, but saw Xinrong ruthlessly strangling Xiaoyanzi's neck. Although Little Swallow is in a coma, she is also subconsciously struggling. Ming Yue went forward and pulled Xin Rong away. And kneeling down, she grabbed Xin Rong and wouldn't let go.
"Fujin, please, let my Gege go." Mingyue bitterly knelt down and begged Xinrong.
Yongqi just came back from Ruyi Pavilion, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Ning'er and Caixia pulling and pulling, he knew it was not good, he was busy running into the house, he saw Xinrong standing condescendingly, and Mingyue crying and begging as if she was a tearful person.
"Ming Yue, what's going on here?" Yong Qi asked Ming Yue as he stared at Xin Rong with hatred.
"Fifth Argo, please save my Gege, Fu Jin she, she ...... is going to kill our Gege."
Yongqi angrily looked at Xinrong, Xinrong was Yongqi's shouting scared out of his mind, and then look at the bed with a painful expression of Xiaoyanzi, hastily pulled pull Yongqi's sleeve, wanting to explain. Yongqi looked at the crying pearly rain Xinrong, the more she wants to explain, it proves that she just made a mistake how unforgivable,
Yongqi fists clenched tightly, and finally the emotions at a point, snapped, Yongqi slapped Xinrong a slap. "Get lost, don't take a step into Shufangzhai, since you know I don't love you and you still want to marry me, you should have prepared your heart."
Xinrong covered her face and stayed aside, how could she be so evil and want Xiaoyanzi's life, this is clearly not her idea!
"Yes, my concubine obeys." When Xin Rong walked to the door, Yong Qi called out. She turned back as if she had gained hope, her eyes shining brightly. However, Yong Qi did not look at her, holding Little Swallow's hair and said without emotion, "If you are hurting Little Swallow, I will never forgive you."
Xinrong sadly ran out of Shufangzhai, with only Ning'er's shouts behind her, and then nothing.
I am Little Swallow, and I am also the Returning Pearl. That's what Ziwei told me.
The day I woke up, I opened my eyes to a room full of people kneeling on the floor, and a middle-aged man in a dragon robe sitting by my bed, shushing me.
I didn't know who he was and hid under the covers in fear, but he ordered the covers to be pulled back.
I then timidly asked him who he was, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth, the whole room was shocked, and the middle-aged man was furious, scolding several old men carrying boxes beside him.
Later a woman dressed in purple, and my age, told me, her name is Ziwei, is my sister. It is Mingzhu Gege, but the people in the palace called her Ziwei Gege, she said, my name is Xiaoyanzi, is also Zhu Gege, is the present emperor's righteous daughter, but also the emperor's happy, the emperor's most favored is me.
She also pointed to the following kneeling on the ground six people, four men and two women, one by one to tell me their names. The strange thing is that they are crying one by one, a mouthful of a Gege, you finally woke up, scared to death of talent and beauty, I laughed, because Ziwei told them that they are the Emperor Amma gave me a slave slave, but do not call themselves a slave slave, surprisingly, they call themselves talent and beauty, but I was surprised that I feel so kind.
It's really strange. Ziwei also pointed to a young man wearing blue official clothes, said, that is Erkang, is her husband, today's extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, he friendly smile at me, said I wish me a speedy recovery. I wondered, if Ziwei is married, what about me?
So I foolishly asked Ziwei if I was married, I could feel Ziwei's hand trembling as she held mine, and then avoided my inquiring eyes and said no, I was not willing to do so, and then continued to ask: "Then not even a favorite person?"
Ziwei snapped back and told me very seriously and gravely that there was none. I waved my hand, forget it, if there's no one, there's no one.
At this time, a young man in light yellow clothes came up and told me that his name was Yongqi, he was the fifth A-Go, and also the Prince of Rong. I could clearly see the tears in the corner of his eyes, probably because he was heartbroken for me, his sister!
I said, "Fifth Brother, my sister is here to greet you."
Suddenly, everyone in the room was flabbergasted, the man called Yongqi had an unbelievable look on his face, and asked me what I had just called him, and I said Fifth Brother ah, and he suddenly retracted his hand that was placed on my shoulder, and smiled a little, and said, yes, maybe this kind of relationship is the most suitable for us.
After that he stormed out of the room, it was pretty weird. CHAPTER 5 CHANGE I stayed in bed for a few more days, then the Imperial Doctor said I could get out of bed and walk around.
After a few days, my Shufangzhai came many people I didn't recognize, Ziwei said they were concubines from the palace, they came to congratulate me on my recovery and gave me many more things, one by one, I respectfully returned the salute, and also said a lot of words I didn't understand.
Finally today, Ziwei dragged me outside to go for a walk, she said that it would be more conducive to my physical recovery if I came out for a walk and got some fresh air.
Walking, we walked to the Imperial Garden, the spring breeze and warmth, the fragrance of flowers in the garden, a variety of flowers are competing to open, a vibrant look.
"Little Swallow, look how nice the view is here, let's go in and take a walk!" Ziwei's soft voice rang in my ears.
The blooming flowers in the garden attracted me more, I happily replied, "Yes!"
The roses blooming in the garden attracted me to run over excitedly, one after another, the flowers were red like a sea of fire, so beautiful.
"Zwei, look how beautiful it is here, the flowers are blooming so well, so beautiful, I love it!" I said happily to Zwei, pointing to the flowers.
"And here, look Ziwei, these flowers are so beautiful too, I can't get enough of them!" I happily pulled Ziwei around the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Ziwei saw how happy I was and smiled along with me, "As long as you like it, we can come here every day in the future."
Ziwei and I walked happily all the way, walking along, I saw a woman about the same age as Ziwei and I, beautiful as heaven, she had a very elegant temperament all over her body, Ziwei told me that was the Fifth A-Go's Fujin, our Fifth Sister-in-law.
I went up to her and greeted her cordially, "Good day, fifth sister-in-law."
But the fifth sister-in-law seemed to hate me as if she didn't pay any attention to my greeting, she just gave me a faint look and walked past me indifferently.
I felt as if she hated me, and I asked Ziwei if I had sinned against her before. Why is she treating me like this? Zwei said I was overthinking it and pulled me on.
Though Mrs. Wu was very cold, it didn't affect my mood at all, and I was still looking happily here and there in the garden with Ziwei.
After a while, we bumped into a middle-aged woman in a fancy dress, who was walking towards us.
"Empress Dowager, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Ziwei immediately greeted her and pulled me along as she told me it was the Empress.
"Yo, I'm kinda flattered by the fact that the Pearl Princess is saluting me!" She looked at me like she had knives shooting through her eyes, and it sent chills down my spine.
"Yes, Empress Mother, Returning Pearl is still really different from before and after!" The one who spoke was an old Sister behind the Empress Dowager. She also looked at me as sternly as the Empress Dowager, and then she and that Empress Dowager walked around me in a circle, a burst of sneering and mocking, which made me feel very uncomfortable in my heart.
Ziwei saw this and hurriedly said to her, "Empress Mother, Xiao Yanzi she is recovering from a serious illness and should not move around much, Xiao Yanzi and I will go back to Shufangzhai first." After saying that she straightened up and pulled me away.
Just as Ziwei and I walked away, I heard a cold voice from behind me say, "Hmph, rivers and mountains are easy to change their nature, and it will never be able to hide the fact that she is a wild girl."
"Your Highness, she is now a tiger without claws, and no longer has any ability to go against you." Another sharp voice chimed in.
Ziwei told me to stay away from messing with, that Empress Mother and the Rongmai at her side, and I dutifully replied to Ziwei.
I asked Ziwei on the way, did I offend many people in the palace before? Why did both fifth sister-in-law and the Empress treat me so badly? Ziwei said that in this palace, there are a lot of people who are different from us, not everyone is as innocent as me.
Ziwei and I had just arrived at the door of Shufangzhai when we saw two great beauties and four great talents walking anxiously around the door.
Small Mosquito: "Stupid you melon not Ruoxi, the two grunts you are finally back, the old Buddha has been in for a while, quickly go in!"
Me and Ziwei immediately walked in, Ziwei told me the old Buddha is the most honored woman in this palace, when you talk to her, you must speak properly and pay attention to your manners.
"Auspicious Old Buddha" Ziwei and I bowed to her respectfully.
"En, Little Swallow, are you feeling better?" I only heard her asking me with concern.
"Back to Old Buddha, thanks to your concern, I'm already fine." I replied very, very respectfully as I followed Ziwei's instructions.
She was stunned when she heard my words: she didn't expect this Little Swallow to look like a different person after losing her memory.
Then, only heard her sigh: "Forget it, this matter of you leaving the palace privately is not to blame you, after all, it is also you who have been wronged."
"Many thanks to the old Buddha." Ziwei told me that I lost my memory because I left the palace privately, and leaving the palace privately is punishable.
"Little Swallow, since you've lost your memory now, forget about those things in the past and start a new life!"
The old Buddha smiled again and said a lot of things to Ziwei and I. Most of them were about caring for my health, living a good life and so on and so forth.
I said to Ziwei that this old Buddha looks very kind, not at all like the Empress we just met, but Ziwei said to me that the old Buddha is a person with deep secrets, and that she is actually the most powerful person in this palace, and I don't understand what that means.
......
At night, a whole bunch of people came to Shufangzhai again,
Ziwei pointed to these people one by one like Xiaoyanzi to introduce: "This foreigner is called Benjamin, you used to call him Bamboos, and she is as good a sister to you as I am, she Old Buddha's favorite person, they are all your best friends, the people who care about you the most."
Xiaoyanzi happily pointed at Yongqi and Erkang, "I know these two of them, this is Ziwei's extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, Erkang, and this is my fifth brother, Yongqi."
As soon as Xiao Yan Zi's words were finished, Yong Qi's smile froze on his face, and all of a sudden, everyone else stopped talking, and the whole Shufangzhai fell silent all of a sudden.
Yong Qi looked at her painfully, Xiao Yan Zi face of innocence do not understand: could it be that I said something wrong?
"Heavens, heavens, is this the punishment you gave me? How could you be so cruel to let Little Yanzi do this to me!" Yongqi thought with pain in his heart.
"Alas! After Little Swallow lost her memory, it became like we barely recognize you!" This was only to hear Qing'er's gentle voice ringing out, breaking the awkwardness.
Just as soon as Qing'er finished speaking, Benjamin interjected, "Yes, Little Swallow you're like a different person now, I'm still not used to it."
"Today I called everyone to Shufangzhai and came because I have something to announce to you." Ziwei said solemnly to everyone.
Er Kang: "Zi Wei, what is it that is so solemn?"
Ziwei announced to everyone, "After a few days of deep thought on my part, I have decided that starting tomorrow, I will teach Xiao Yanzi zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and court etiquette, and train her to become a woman like Qing'er and I."
After a long time, Erkang asked Ziwei with a face full of surprise, "What, Ziwei? You're going to cultivate Little Swallow?!"
"Yes, I'm going to make her the best Gege in this palace." Only Ziwei could be heard saying firmly.
"Ziwei, she's Little Swallow, she hates these constraints, how is this possible!" Qing'er also asked incredulously.
"Qing'er, relying on me alone certainly won't work, so you have to join in and come with me to transform Little Swallow."
"WHAT! Ziwei, don't you think the previous Little Swallow was good?"
"Benjamin, the old Little Swallow was good and we all loved her, but there were people who didn't like Little Swallow, and I don't want Little Swallow to suffer like that again in the future!"
At once, there was another silence, everyone knew that it was Lady Yu who disliked Xiao Yan Zi, and that was what separated Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi alive.
Yongqi, who hadn't said anything, "In this matter, we have to seek Xiao Yanzi's opinion, if she doesn't want to, we can't force her."
"Yeah, I think so too." Benjamin's thoughts were the same as Yong Qi's, he wouldn't try to force Little Swallow to do anything.
"Little Swallow are you willing?" Only Yongqi could be heard asking Little Yanzi with concern.
"I am willing." Chapter 6: Shedding Bones One Year Later
The Forbidden City in the fall was already chilly and windy, but it still couldn't stop the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The palace was decorated with lights and colors, and everyone was immersed in the festivities. Fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, fire trees and silver flowers, and even blowing falling stars like rain, bringing a melting warmth to the sluggish autumn.
"Little Swallow, look how lively the Mid-Autumn Festival is today!" Only to see two delicate women walking on the path, their faces were filled with joyful smiles, smiles that warmed the hearts of the people.
"Ziwei, you're here with me again, Erkang he's going to blame me for stealing you away again." Ziwei came to Su Fang Zhai early in the morning to accompany Xiao Yan Zi, leaving Er Kang alone in the Bachelor's Mansion.
"You're just going to tease me, Little Swallow look how beautiful you are tonight, even I can't help but be intoxicated!"
"Hmph, Ziwei you just make fun of me!"
Ziwei looked at Xiao Yanzi and smiled with a different meaning. Only Little Yanzi herself didn't know that right now she was like a sparkling pearl, wherever she went, she would radiate an eye-catching light.
Qianqing Palace
"Fifth Brother, Fifth Fujin, to--"
Only to see Xinrong in a yellow embroidered phoenix Bixia Luo, curved trailing ground pink smoky veil skirt, hand pulling the mountain Luo Cui soft veil, the wind chignon and mist temples diagonally inserted a peony flower is really a bit: peony flower. The peony flower was really a little bit like this: her eyebrows were delicate, and her green temples were thickly tinted with spring smoke.
Xinrong has made a lot of efforts to dress up today, in order to shine at the Mid-Autumn Banquet and show herself in front of everyone.
"Wow, Fujin is so beautiful today, we all look dull."
"Yeah, Fujin is the highlight of the day!"
"I just realized today what a real beauty looks like!"
......
As soon as Xinrong came, many women palace concubines were star-studded, praising and complimenting Xinrong, star-studded, she was the star of the show in front of the crowd, and got enough face, the smile on Xinrong's face was getting wider and wider.
Only one side of the Yongqi saw, Xinrong in the crowd of hypocritical smile will feel disgusted, from the bottom of the heart disgust up. At the same time, in front of his eyes again appeared that beautiful and lovely woman, that sweet and pure smile is so beautiful.
"Returning the Pearl to the Palace - Purple Violet to the Palace -" the eunuch's shrill voice rang out in the great hall.
The people who were complimenting Xinrong looked over at the voice, and immediately stopped the compliments in their mouths, sucked in a mouthful of cold air from the bottom of their hearts, and all stood dumbfounded, looking at the front of the main hall door, not moving at all.
Looking over at the woman who was as beautiful as the heavens, they then realized how wrong and confused they had been in what they had just said.
Hinrong saw that the people around her had all moved and were looking towards the door, and wondered, coming to what had more charisma than her own.
Xinrong uncomprehendingly raised his head, side-eye toward everyone's gaze, only to see Xiao Yanzi turquoise cui smoky shirt, scattered flowers water mist green grass pleated skirt, body clad in cui water thin smoke veil. Like an orchid, she was standing in the doorway, out of the ordinary.
Xiaoyanzi is a different kind of beauty with Xinrong, just Xiaoyanzi's body more a kind of pure and penetrating temperament, clean as water, which is Xinrong can not be found on the body.
Xinrong's face, clenched her teeth, at this time she was furious, hate muttered, "Humph, Little Swallow is you again, you want to grab everything with me, don't force me to clean up after you!"
"The emperor arrives--"
"The old Buddha arrives--"
"Auspicious for the Emperor, auspicious for the Old Buddha." Everyone knelt down in unison and bowed in worship.
"Imperial Amma, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xin Rong has a dance for you all to enjoy." As soon as Xin Rong saw the arrival of the Emperor Old Buddha, she immediately changed into a gentle and skillful appearance and immediately greeted her.
The old Buddha was happy, "Good, Xin Rong's dance is the best among the palace, I love to see Xin Rong's dance the most."
Long time, a delicate woman slowly walked into the main hall, only to see her with the sound of the piano on tiptoe, slowly dancing sleeves, such as a butterfly with the wind lightly fluttering. The snow is light, and the dragons are frightened by the sweetness of it, and the willows are powerless after the small hanging hands, and the clouds want to be born when the skirts are trailing diagonally.
The dance stopped along with the music, only to hear the emperor applauded: "Xinrong ah, your dance is really getting better and better, I'm afraid that there are not a few people can be compared to you ah, today is really let me feast my eyes, I do not know what you want to reward ah!"
"Royal Ama, Xinrong has a small request, I do not know if you can promise Xinrong." If one looks closely, Xin Rong's wry smile pervades his face.
"What is the request, tell me, as long as it is something I can do, I will definitely fulfill you."
"Xinrong has always heard that the Returning Pearl's literary talent is extraordinary, it's just a pity that I have never seen it, today Xinrong would like to see it, I don't know if the Imperial Amma can satisfy Xinrong's wish of letting the Returning Pearl compose a poem." She just wanted her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.
"Xinrong, stand down ." Yong Qi's impatient voice rang out coldly, with a warning in it, cautioning him not to mess with Xiao Yan Zi.
"Yongqi don't be so mean, I just want to see ......"
"Xinrong, you've had enough!" Before he could hear Xin Rong finish, he heard Yong Qi let out a bellow.
The lively hall cooled down all of a sudden, all eyes were focused on Yongqi Xinrong, and everyone looked at Xinrong with some sympathy.
In this kind of pomp and circumstance, one's husband even reprimanded himself for another woman, what a great shame it is for a woman to lose face.
Xinrong clenched her teeth and clenched her hands, her deep nails were embedded in the flesh because she exerted too much force, but she didn't feel the pain coming from her hands, she just shot a dark look with resentment at Xiao Yanzi.
"Yongqi, what is wrong with you, how are you talking to Xinrong!" Old Buddha looked at Yongqi with slight displeasure.
"Yes, Fifth Arge, Xinrong is at least your wife, how can you talk to her like that for some outsider!" Only the Empress could be heard biting the word outsider particularly hard.
"Old Buddha, Empress, don't blame Yongqi, it's all Xinrong's fault, it's Xinrong's delusion to want to see Returning Pearl composing poetry."
"Isn't it just wanting to hear Little Swallow compose a poem, what delusion, what's so hard about it, Little Swallow ......"
"Old Buddha, today we are all having a happy meal together, just Stop talking about these matters." The emperor intends to defuse the matter and smooth things out, he doesn't want Little Swallow to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty ......" the old Buddha reluctantly continued, since Xinrong wanted to take a look, just let him take a look.
"Imperial Amma, it's all my fault, since fifth sister-in-law wants to take a look at my literary skills, then I'll make a fool of myself!" Just as the Emperor and the Old Buddha were at an impasse, only a clear and elegant voice could be heard resounding in the great hall.
"The sky will be the moon tonight, washing the Huan Ying all over again.
The summer retreats from the nine skies, the autumn clarifies the ten thousand scenes.
The stars have given way to brilliance, and the wind and dew have given way to crystal.
The world of the world can be changed, and it is the Jade Palace."
Who is this if not Little Swallow? Little Swallow's words have just fallen, the hall immediately silent, everyone is dumbfounded looking at Little Swallow. Eyes full of incredulity, it seems that no one can believe that Little Swallow could be so literate and able to make such excellent verses, is this the adventurous Little Swallow?
"Good poem, good poem, Little Swallow did well!" Qianlong also didn't expect Little Swallow to be able to make such a good poem, he couldn't help but happily applaud Little Swallow and praised her with a smile.
"Appreciating the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon in the sky is full, and the moon on the earth is missing." Xin Rong's voice rang out again, originally she wanted to make a fool out of Little Swallow, but she didn't expect that she would be appreciated, she wasn't willing to let Little Swallow go just like that.
"A wanderer misses his hometown, his other hometown is bitter, his own hometown is sweet." Little Swallow replied immediately after.
"Once we talked about knowing each other, then we talked about knowing each other, we sighed even more at meeting each other and hated it, and the red thread cleverly led us to a marriage."
"Thousands of miles of **** moon, ten thousand miles of **** net, the sky is also as close as a stone's throw, the hut is happy to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"The moon is as frosty as the ground, autumn is like water, people at the end of the world are homesick."
"Half a bottle of wine into the intestines, sadness roams the sky, pearl tears speechless."
......
The air seems to condense, time seems to stop at this moment, everyone in the hall is dumbfounded looking at the two, you a sentence and I a sentence, the two do not match.
