Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 139 Qujiang Banquet

Watching Lei Ji come out, Yang Yu hurriedly put away her mournful look, and said with a smile, "There are so many, how can I use up my eternal life!" Looking at the little dress full of flowers, the workmanship is very exquisite, it looks like It's so cute, Yang Yu couldn't help picking one up and making gestures on her body, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really a good craftsmanship, I'm so greedy!"

Lei Ji was amused, "Okay! I will help you with a suit in the future!" Yang Yu hurriedly smiled and agreed, "Then thank you sister first!" The concubine is at this age, she has enjoyed the glory and wealth, and she has seen a lot of rare treasures. These are not considered good gifts. It is better to make something with heart. Lei Ji decided to embroider a picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren as a gift.Yang Yu couldn't help applauding: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang just gave birth to a little prince, and the concubine is full of joy. My sister's idea is just right for the occasion!"

Lei Ji said: "Sister, I only have embroidery skills. I have nothing else to do. I hope the concubine will not blame me for sending embroidery every time!" I have a headache!" The doctor Chun smiled and said, "What the concubine thinks is that the family is safe. If Yang Zhaoyuan can ask for an imperial edict for the concubine and recall His Royal Highness King Zhao back to live in Beijing, that would be a better congratulatory gift than anything else. !"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up, "That's right! The concubine had this intention a long time ago, but it's hard to say it because of affection, so let me be the messenger!"

After finishing speaking, she bid farewell to Lei Ji, Lei Ji sent her away with a smile, but she was stunned to see Yang Yu go away, without saying a word, and muttered to herself, "Sister, don't blame sister, there is nothing you can do about it!"

Yang Yu came to Feishuang Palace, but heard that the emperor was not there, but was admiring flowers with Tao Yaoyao in the imperial garden, Yang Yu couldn't help frowning, this Tao Yaoyao is really good at charming the emperor!

Yang Yu walked towards the imperial garden, and saw Tao Yaoyao's gorgeous figure from a distance!She was wearing a crimson red skirt, a tie of the same color, her snow chest was pressed down extremely low, she was wearing a flying star chasing the moon bun, the red gold phoenix-tailed agate tassels on her head were swaying gracefully, and the jasper ribbed flower double-closed long hairpin was shining brilliantly. , the red gemstone earrings are even more enchanting, the amethyst pendant on the chest is also extremely eye-catching, and the aquatic agate bracelet on her hand is extremely exquisite, this Tao Yaoyao is really extravagant and gorgeous!
The emperor was admiring the flowers with Tao Yaoyao. Recently, the peony bloomed very well, especially the lavender peony. It turned out that Yang Yu had been depressed since Lu Xiangwu's death and didn't like to go out. The emperor hadn't seen her for several days!
Yang Yu is still wearing a lavender dress, and the crystal fan-shaped hairpin on the flowing cloud bun exudes a moving brilliance. The rose crystal, lotus, begonia, and winged jade luan walk are extremely bright in the sun, and the seven-color jade on the chest is even more radiant. The colorful colors set off Yang Yu like a fairy descending to the earth. Yang Yu is full of lotus steps, exuding a strange brilliance under the sunshine!
The emperor couldn't help stepping forward happily, took Yang Yu's hand, and said, "Why did Yu'er come out today?" Yang Yu said calmly, "Seeing that the sun is shining today, Yu'er wanted to invite the emperor to enjoy the flowers together. I don't want the emperor to have a beautiful woman by his side!"

The emperor looked at Tao Yaoyao, and felt that she was really an eyesore, so he smiled and said: "I see that you have been depressed these days, I wanted to visit you in the garden, but I was afraid that you would be unhappy, if you know that Yu'er has gone to fly Shuangdian, I will wait no matter what!"

Seeing that the emperor was so careful with him, Yang Yu couldn't help smiling. The emperor felt that the garden full of flowers couldn't match Yang Yu's smile!Yang Yu coquettishly said: "It seems that the emperor has finished his tour, but Yu'er still wants to visit!"

The emperor hurriedly said: "Then what's the matter? I just want to swim with Yu'er one more time. Yu'er enjoys the flowers, and it's enough for me to look at Yu'er, this charming flower!" Yang Yu smiled and walked forward. Looking back at the emperor again, with a hook of his little finger, the emperor stepped forward with a smile, hugged her and left with a smile.

Tao Yaoyao stood where she was, with a cold heart! Ever since Yang Yu appeared, she had never looked at Tao Yaoyao, that's all, the most important thing was the emperor, and the emperor had forgotten her existence!This is called Tao Yaoyao who has always been conceited. How can she be embarrassed?

Tao Yaoyao clenched her palms tightly, hating in her heart, Yang Yu, wait, one day you will be crushed!
When Yang Yu and the emperor were playing together, she euphemistically said that the concubine wanted to see King Zhao, and the emperor naturally agreed. The Emperor Zhao hadn't seen him for a long time, so it was a family reunion.The emperor smiled and said, "It's Yu'er who cares about the concubine's matter!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Yu pouted and said coquettishly, "Yu'er is thinking of the emperor! Everyone knows that the emperor is extremely filial to the concubine, and of course he will fulfill the concubine's love for her son. It's just that the emperor takes care of everything every day, and sometimes he forgets it for a while." , Yuer is just to share the emperor's worries, just remind me, could it be that the emperor can't see Yuer's intentions and thinks that Yuer is only for the concubine?"

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "I was wrong! How about punishing me to rub Yu'er's back? It's been a long time since I took a bath with Yu'er!" Yang Yu smiled shyly, her face full of shyness.

The emperor couldn't help being in a good mood, so he kissed Yang Yu's temple lightly, but this scene happened to fall into Guo Zichao's eyes!

It turned out that although the emperor was annoyed that Princess Changning left without saying goodbye, but it was his daughter after all, the emperor still sent someone to look for it, and Guo Zichao came to report after finding something.

Guo Zichao saw Yang Yu snuggling in the emperor's arms with clear eyes and a slight smile, the bitterness in his heart rippling like the waves of water, he suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty! I have something important to report for my humble position!"

Yang Yu heard Guo Zichao's voice, and subconsciously fled from the emperor's embrace. She looked at Guo Zichao with flustered eyes. She really didn't want to please the emperor in front of him!

The emperor was obsessed with the feeling of the beauty in his arms, when he was suddenly interrupted, he felt a little displeased, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

Guo Zichao heard the emperor's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "The humble official took the portrait of Princess Changning to ask around, and finally someone said that he had seen Princess Changning in Ci'an Hall!"

Now the emperor is not calm, "What! Ci'an Hall!" Could it be that she has also become a monk! ?This is really a sin!Why does his princess like to become a monk?Is one security not enough?

Guo Zichao bowed his head and said: "The abbot asked the abbot, and the teacher said that the princess was not destined to be shaved, but Princess Changning insisted on staying in the nunnery. In desperation, the teacher accepted the princess and became a monk. Layman disciple!"

Only then did the emperor feel relieved a little. The Princess Anhua was cruelly sent to Buddhism because she was the lone star of Tiansha, and now she is nowhere to be found. It's about to become a laughing stock!
The emperor's mood became much darker, and Yang Yu couldn't help persuading: "Princess Changning is just thinking about it for a while, hasn't she not been shaved yet? Everything is turning around. The lady of Korea misses Princess Changning in the palace, and Princess Changning also parted ways. If there is no love between mother and daughter, after some time, ask Mrs. Han to persuade her, maybe it will be all right!"

It made sense for the emperor to think about it, and the sorrow in his heart was relieved a bit. He couldn't help laughing: "Yu'er is really a worry-relieving flower! With you by my side, my worries are much less!" As he spoke, he couldn't help stroking Yang Yu's pretty face, Guo Zichao's eyes dimmed and lost his spirit.

Yang Yu avoided it lightly, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty! Someone is there!" The emperor couldn't help laughing, and ordered Guo Zichao to arrange some people to protect the princess so that he could step back, then took Yang Yu's hand again, and played together in the imperial garden.

This Lei Ji suddenly said that she would go to Ganquan Temple to worship Buddha, saying that she had frequently dreamed of the nuns of Ganquan Temple worshiping Buddha these days, and she must have a secret to go to Ganquan Temple. The emperor didn't care, so he let her go. .

The concubine's birthday banquet is finally here. This time, the concubine Wang Guifei is still organizing the banquet, but this year the emperor specially stated that it should be grand and solemn. In addition, after Wang Zongshi was eliminated, the concubine's mood is also very good, so it is much more luxurious than in previous years. The emperor It means to hold a banquet in Qujiang!
Qujiang Garden is located in Qujiang Village, nine kilometers southeast of Chang'an City, the capital of Tang Dynasty.Qujiang Garden was originally a natural pond, with luxuriant trees and flowers blooming on the bank, and the scenery is very beautiful.Because of the winding and colorful waters, it is called Qujiang.

Qujiang Pond was first dug by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang (582) of the Sui Dynasty, due to the small size of Chang'an City in Kyoto and the messy layout of the city, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty built the imperial city - Daxing City in the southeast of Chang'an City. Therefore, Jiangchi was included in Daxing City, and a garden dedicated to the emperor's entertainment and banquet was built here, named "Furong Garden".

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (713-741), large-scale construction of Qujiang gardens was carried out, the pool area was widened, water from the Yellow Canal was diverted to expand the water surface, and colorful boats were made for sightseeing.Lotuses are widely planted in the pool, exotic flowers and grasses are planted on both sides of the pool, and the trees are mainly willows.An apricot garden was built in the west of the pool, which later became the place where the emperor often entertained his ministers.Ziyun Tower and Caixia Pavilion were built in the south of the pool, and Ci'en Temple was built in the south of the pool, with a surrounding area of ​​more than ten kilometers.Since then, Qujiang Pond has become the most beautiful garden in the capital.

Princes, ministers, and children of aristocratic families all participated together, such as amber wine, jasper cups, gold-footed bottles, and emerald dishes.The flow of people is like a tide, the sound of music is moving, and the cups of wine are staggered. The atmosphere is full of carnival and extravagance.
