Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 24: Yongle
However, the Lord Yongle was already ready, she was wearing a colorful feather coat, her hands and feet were knotted with silver bells, and when she walked, it was crisp and melodious, very pleasant to the ear.The Lord of Yongle bowed profusely, and said: "Taufei, Lan Lin has an unfeeling request, and wants Master Li Zijin to play music for me alone!" The concubine nodded with a smile.Then Li Zijin asked: "I don't know what music the old man needs?"

Li Zijin then began to play, and saw that the two cooperated seamlessly, and the melody was warm and cheerful, showing the vibrant natural scene, which made people feel auspicious and happy.And Cui Lanlin's dancing posture is also wonderful, breathtaking!
The light rotation is like dancing snowflakes, and the vigorous forward movement is like a frightened dragon swimming.

The hanging hands are as delicate and weak as Liu Si, and when the dance skirt floats up at an angle, it looks like white clouds rising.

The beautiful eyebrows are indescribably beautiful, and the dancing sleeves flutter in the wind with all kinds of amorous feelings.

The silver bells on her body danced like elves, bright and crisp like dancing pearls hitting jade flakes.

When the dance is over, it folds its wings like a flying phoenix, and the lingering sound of the dance music is endless, just like the long cry of cranes!
Everyone couldn't help applauding, the concubine loved it very much, and even said: "The master of Yongle is really extraordinary in dancing, and Li Aiqing's tunes are also exquisite. The two are a perfect match! There are many rewards!" After receiving the reward, Li Zijin returned home. Bit up.He looked up and saw Yang Yu smiling at him, he couldn't help but feel bitter, now that she is Zhaoyuan who is loved by thousands of people, it's time for him to give up.

But the emperor got up slowly and stood in front of Cui Lanlin with a dazed expression. He gently stroked Cui Lanlin's face and said, "Lan Lin, you really look like your mother. How is she recently?" Cui Lanlin said softly, "Mother has been depressed recently. Widowed, she lost a lot of weight, and for some reason, she often said, "The beauty rolls up the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns. But seeing the warm tears, who do I hate?'!"

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, but stopped talking.Seeing this, the concubine asked, "What does Lan Lin want as a reward?" Cui Lanlin still looked at the emperor: "Lan Lin's mother is not in good health, and she is very afraid of the cold in winter. So Lan Lin wants the fire silkworm clothes, but I don't know Can the concubine reward Lan Lin for her filial piety?"

Seeing the change of Concubine Guo Shu's expression, the concubine said with a smile: "What a caring daughter who knows the cold and the hot, well, this fire silkworm clothes is yours!" The emperor returned to his seat silently, and suddenly said: "In this case, I will reward you again You five taels of fire silkworm cotton, make a blanket for your mother!" Everyone was amazed, how precious the fire silkworm cotton was, and the fire silkworm clothes were only used for one tael, and the emperor's reward was five taels!

Even Yang Yu was quite surprised that Cui Lanlin and her mother were so valued by the emperor!Tears welled up in Cui Lanlin's eyes, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" She stepped back slowly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor knew that his behavior just now was surprising, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "I also have a congratulatory gift for my concubine's autumn today. I wish my concubine a long life and be happy and worry-free!" Smile lightly.The emperor went to the musicians, smiled at Li Zijin and said, "Li Aiqing, can I borrow the piano for a while?" Li Zijin got up quickly.The emperor smiled, sat down and played the song, it was the song of no worries!

The emperor's qin art is also quite superb, and he played this worry-free song superbly, making people feel like a spring breeze.Yang Yu listened with a smile.The upper song is about to be finished, but the emperor actually took over the next song!Yang Yu was very pleasantly surprised. It turned out that the emperor was so talented, but there seemed to be a slight sadness at the beginning of the next chapter. Yang Yu was surprised, and suddenly seemed to hear the voice of the Buddha, gently sweeping away the dust in people's hearts, and only felt peaceful and happy contented.

That's all, Yang Yu said softly: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand; there is nothing, so where can the dust be aroused." The emperor laughed and said, "Zhaoyuan knows my meaning very well!" "That's right! Only when you have no desires and no demands can you be carefree! But how many people in the world can see through it!"

Li Zijin was on the sidelines, but his heart was full of emotions, and he was still thinking hard about how to compose this song. It seemed that there was no need for it now, and Yang Zhaoyuan's future affairs had nothing to do with him.

The emperor looked at Yang Yu affectionately and said: "This upper column was made by Zhaoyuan. I will continue this lower column. This is the real song of worry-free. With Zhaoyuan, I have indeed lost a lot of worries!" Yu couldn't help saying: "The emperor's absurd praise. The emperor shields Yu'er from wind and rain, like a towering tree, and blocks all worries for Yu'er. Yu'er only wishes to be a worry-free flower under that tree for the rest of her life." Looking at each other, all the concubines were jealous.

Wang Guifei said from the side: "This worry-free flower is a sacred flower of Buddhism. It seems inappropriate for Zhaoyuan to use it to describe herself!" The emperor couldn't help but became interested, and said, "What's the explanation for my beloved concubine? I would like to hear about it! "Wang Guifei said: "There is a legend about this worry-free flower. It is said that there used to be a Kapilavatthu kingdom. King Jingfan and Queen Mahamaya were married for many years and did not have children. Until the queen was 45 years old, one night, she fell asleep In the dream, a white elephant came from the sky and broke into the belly - the queen was pregnant. According to the customs of ancient India at that time, women had to go back to their mother's home to give birth when their first child was pregnant. When her mother's family gave birth, she felt a little tired from the journey when passing through the Lumbini Garden. She got off the sedan chair and went to rest in the garden. When Queen Mahamaya walked to a verdant and lush tree full of golden yellow flowers, she stretched out her hand to support the tree trunk. At that time, the fetal gas was alarmed, and a generation of saints-Sakyamuni was born under the tree of worry-free flowers. Therefore, the worry-free flowers are revered as holy flowers, but they have the meaning of conceiving a child. I think this sister Zhaoyuan is favored Soon, there should be no joy!"

Yang Yu couldn't help blushing, and the emperor laughed even more, "The concubine is really knowledgeable and talented, it is indeed Zhaoyuan's negligence, but I believe that Yu'er will soon be able to describe herself as a worry-free flower!" A smile is also considered contented.

Princess Anhua and Princess Changyuan also respectfully congratulated the concubine on her birthday. The concubine couldn't help feeling pity for them when she saw that they were well-behaved, and ordered them to sit beside her.Concubine Wang smiled and said: "Actually, the concubine also prepared birthday noodles today, I don't want to be robbed by Zhaoyuan! But the concubine is not as partial as Zhaoyuan, and only serves to the concubine alone. The birthday noodles prepared by the concubine are for everyone Participate!" A court lady brought out bowls of birthday noodles and lined them up in front of everyone.

Concubine Wang said again: "This is not an ordinary birthday noodle, it is made by mixing whitebait meat in the noodle, it is extremely delicious!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.Because this whitebait is a special product of Taihu Lake, it is small and transparent, white and crystal clear, soft and round, transparent, tender, delicious, and has remarkable effects of nourishing the lungs, clearing gold, nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency, so it is called a treasure in the water. .How precious it is to eat whitebait in Chang'an!

Everyone savored the deliciousness of the whitebait noodles carefully, but Princess Tongchang didn't move her chopsticks.The emperor couldn't help wondering: "Why doesn't Tongchang eat it?" Princess Tongchang smiled slightly: "I will tell my father that Tongchang occasionally catches a cold, and the imperial doctor told me not to eat meat, so I dare not eat it!"

But seeing that Princess Changyuan stared straight at Princess Tongchang's bowl, it was no wonder that everyone had white porcelain bowls, but Princess Tongchang was a gilded jade bowl, which was particularly eye-catching.Even the emperor and the concubine are nothing but golden bowls.Wang Jieyu said disdainfully: "I never imagined that these slaves are so powerful that they even want to flatter a bowl!"

Princess Changyuan lost her mother since she was a child, and she has never eaten such delicious food. It seems that she still has something to say, so Princess Tongchang saw her thoughts and said, "Sister Changyuan, if my sister doesn't want to eat, I will give it to you!" Changyuan Overjoyed, she took the bowl and ate it, saying: "Sister Tongchang's bowl is even more delicious!" Everyone laughed at her childish temper, and the bowl from others is good.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changyuan suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain after eating half of it, and she became nauseous and vomited again.But I didn't want Princess Changyuan to faint!When all the imperial physicians arrived, Princess Changyuan had difficulty breathing and her complexion was blue.Everyone was shocked and panicked for a moment.
