Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 280 Dragon Boat Festival
Eunuch Diao saw that Yang Yu was in tears, and he couldn't help persuading him: "Falling into the Yellow River is not a sure thing, maybe there will be a miracle too? Madam, don't you think so?" Yang Yu was taken aback by what Eunuch Diao said, that's right!So what if you fall into the Yellow River?Isn't she still alive and well?As long as you don't see the dead body, anything is possible!Didn't she always believe that Guo Zichao is still alive?Then you should also hold such beliefs!
Yang Yu wiped away the tears from his face, and said: "Eunuch Diao is right! Biyue is a blessed person, and nothing will happen to her, it's because I lost control!" Yang Yu stood for a long time, seeing Eunuch Diao not saying anything. He spoke, but never left, so he was a little surprised. Could it be that he still has something to do?

Yang Yu couldn't help asking, "Did Eunuch Diao want something else?" Eunuch Diao said with a look of embarrassment, "My lady! I want to leave the Ye court and come to Hehuan Hall to be on duty. I wonder if my lady would like it? "

Yang Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? The Ye Court is not a place for people to stay! The Hehuan Hall in my palace is also short of manpower!" Yang Yu was worried about this matter, although Yang Yu has an inexplicable sense of familiarity and trust towards Eunuch Diao, but she still feels uneasy that Eunuch Diao has spared no effort to help her. At this time, Eunuch Diao made such a request, so all the problems have been explained However, Eunuch Diao helped Yang Yu only to leave that ghostly place in Yeting!
Eunuch Diao was very happy, and said, "Thank you, ma'am!" Yang Yu thought of something at this moment, and said in embarrassment: "It's just that I may have to wrong Eunuch to be a eunuch as a handyman. I am afraid that Eunuch's appearance will offend the emperor." Displeased!" Yang Yu was quite apologetic, but Eunuch Diao didn't take it seriously, and said, "I understand! I just want to stay in Hehuan Hall!"

Yang Yu saw that Eunuch Diao was not displeased at all, so he reassured: "Eunuch Diao is so reasonable, I can rest assured!"

Next, Yang Yu also planned something.Begging the emperor to get Biyue's nephew, Xiaoxizi, into the Hall of Hehuan, because Biyue's affairs had a lot of guilt, so the emperor agreed when he heard that it was Biyue's nephew, and that Xiaoxizi also introduced two My fellow countryman explained to Yang Yu that she was a very smart court lady. Yang Yu didn't trust Concubine Guo Shu's people to be around, of course he liked it very much, so he found some excuses and sent them away.

The maids brought by Xiao Xizi were originally famous, Yang Yu wanted to come, so she changed their names, one was called Ruchan, and the other was called Ruyue, in order to let them be as loyal as Qiuchan and Biyue.Both of them made an oath to serve Yang Yu's side all their lives.

In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the emperor has been doting on Yang Yu for days, and he is in a very good mood, so he is going to have a grand banquet in the Huae Building, and invite some relatives of the emperor to celebrate with him.

Concubine Guo Shu couldn't bear to be disturbed. These days, for Wei Baoheng's plan, Concubine Guo Shu always deliberately approached the emperor, but the emperor's thoughts were all on Yang Yu. No matter what Concubine Guo Shu hinted or said explicitly, the emperor always laughed it off, which made Concubine Guo anxious. I can't stop, her stomach doesn't wait for anyone, what should I do if this goes on?

But judging from what the emperor meant, he had no intention of pampering her at all, so what should I do?However, the emperor wanted to have a big banquet for his ministers again, so Concubine Guo Shu had no choice but to cheer up and arrange everything in the harem.

Princess Tongchang naturally came to the palace for such a grand event. I don't know why. Recently, whenever she said that she wanted to enter the palace, Wei Baoheng would stop him in many ways. She doesn't want to be busy, or Concubine Guo Shu in the palace is so busy that she really doesn't have time to greet Princess Tongchang, so don't go into the palace to disturb her.

Princess Tongchang couldn't help but have some doubts, what is this for?In fact, Wei Baoheng frequently went in and out of the Mingluan Palace, and there were already some rumors. Although it was nothing, Wei Baoheng did not want Princess Tongchang to enter the palace frequently. It is best not to let Princess Tongchang know about his relationship with Concubine Guo Shu. Going to the palace often, maybe someone is chewing on her ears, that would be bad!
But today is the emperor's will, Wei Baoheng is not easy to stop, and there are many guests today, in a large audience, as long as he pays close attention to Princess Tongchang, he should be fine.

The most important thing about the Dragon Boat Festival is to sacrifice Qu Yuan and race dragon boats.Legend has it that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a poet of the Chu State in the Warring States Period, who committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.Qu Ping, courtesy name Yuan, usually referred to as Qu Yuan, also named after Yun Zhengzheng, nicknamed Lingjun, Han nationality, was born in Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei Province) of the Chu State at the end of the Warring States Period, and was a descendant of Qu Xia, the son of Xiong Tong, King Wu of Chu.Although Qu Yuan was loyal to King Huai of Chu, he was ostracized repeatedly. After King Huai died, he was exiled because King Qingxiang listened to the slander, and finally jumped into Miluo River to die.This theory first came from the "Continued Qi Harmony" by Wu Jun of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty and the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" by Zong Mo in the Southern Dynasty.It is said that after Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River, the local people rowed boats to rescue him immediately after hearing the news. They went all the way to Dongting Lake, but they never saw Qu Yuan's body.

At that time, just in time for the rainy day, the boats on the lake gathered together by the pavilion on the shore.When people learned that it was to salvage the virtuous minister, Dr. Qu, they set off again in the rain and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake.In order to express their grief, people rowed boats on the rivers, and then gradually developed into a dragon boat race.The people were afraid that the fish in the river would eat his body, so they brought rice balls and threw them into the river one after another to prevent the fish and shrimp from spoiling Qu Yuan's body. Later, it became the custom of eating zongzi.It seems that eating rice dumplings and dragon boat races on the Dragon Boat Festival are related to commemorating Qu Yuan, as evidenced by Tang Dynasty poet Wenxiu's poem "Dragon Boat Festival": "Who said the festival is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it has been rumored to be Qu Yuan through the ages. It is ridiculous that the Chu River is empty and cannot be washed away." The direct minister is wronged."

Looking at the extremely lively scene, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, and said: "I still remember the Dragon Boat Festival that year, and it was also here, Cui Zhaoyi turned into a fairy, it is really unimaginable! I can't figure it out even now. So it’s Cui Zhaoyi’s turn to deal with immortality? Considering that Master Mingjing is also a demon monk, will there be any twists and turns?”

Yang Yu's face couldn't help but change. Yang Yu planned and arranged Cui Zhaoyi's death, how could she not know?Thinking of Cui Zhaoyi's death, Yang Yu felt a little regretful. Although Cui Zhaoyi indirectly killed her father, she really deserved to die, but it was not Yang Yu's original intention to make her die so completely unrecognizable.

That Cui Zhaoyi poisonous insect devoured all the flesh and blood, leaving only the dense bones, it is really shocking!Thinking of this, Yang Yu couldn't help trembling slightly.

Concubine Guo Shu frowned even more. Thinking of Cui Zhaoyi, Concubine Guo Shu only felt that there were bugs crawling in her throat, but she tried to bear it. If she vomited at this time, everyone would be suspicious.

Princess Tongchang looked at the emperor, and said coquettishly: "Father! Have a good life, what are you talking about! What's so good about becoming a fairy, Tongchang only hopes to live every day well!"

The emperor couldn't help laughing, looked at Concubine Guo Shu and said, "Look at Concubine Ai! I haven't seen you for a long time, but this Tongchang's mouth is getting smarter!" Seeing Concubine Guo Shu's face was quite pale, he couldn't help asking: "Concubine Ai, what's the matter? ?” Although Concubine Guo Shu hinted for several days that she wanted to be happy with the emperor, the emperor always declined, because the emperor’s heart was on Yang Yu, and there were still so many young concubines to choose from. There is no interest, but the emperor still cares about Concubine Guo Shu. After all, they have been together for many years and have a family relationship.

Princess Tongchang also looked at Concubine Guo Shu and said, "Concubine Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Concubine Guo Shu smiled weakly and said, "Maybe you are too tired?"

Yang Yu couldn't help answering, and said: "Concubine Guo Shu has been working hard to plan the Dragon Boat Festival these days!" Concubine Guo Shu didn't expect Yang Yu to say this, so she couldn't help but glance at Yang Yu. What game are you playing?
The emperor took it very seriously, and said: "My dear concubine, if you are really unwell, you should go back to the palace to rest!" Princess Tongchang couldn't help but worried: "Mother concubine! Tongchang will accompany you back to the palace!"

Concubine Guo Shu hurriedly said: "Forget it! Concubine mother returns to the palace by herself, Tongchang, it is rare for you to come back, so please accompany your father and emperor more!" Princess Chang, so always avoid the chance to be alone with her.

In fact, she is as sensitive as Princess Chang. Princess Tongchang doesn't understand why. Concubine Guo Shu always seems to avoid her, and her words are very flashy when she speaks.It's a world of difference from the way they were close before.

Concubine Guo Shu floated away, Wei Baoheng couldn't help taking a look, he was also very anxious, hearing that the emperor hadn't favored Concubine Guo Shu in the past few days, Wei Baoheng also became worried, so he thought of waiting for a while, while others were unprepared, to call Luandian discussed with Concubine Guo Shu.

Princess Tongchang looked at Concubine Guo Shu's back, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. What caused the gap between mother and daughter?
Looking at Wei Baoheng, I thought of the rumors I heard not long ago, saying that Wei Baoheng always had no taboos when he went in and out of Mingluan Palace!Although Princess Tongchang mentioned this when the Wei family heard servants making fun of her, it still made Princess Tongchang unhappy for a long time!This Wei Baoheng just went to visit his mother and concubine from time to time, why did everyone talk so badly?Princess Tongchang wondered in her heart, could it be that the concubine mother blamed herself for not visiting often, but asking Wei Baoheng to do it for her?

That being the case, it's better for her to visit her mother and concubine by herself in the future, and Wei Baoheng will come and go less in the future, so as not to cause gossip.

On the other side, Princess Guangde and Yu Cong also came together, and they walked to the side of the emperor and Yang Yu. Yang Yu couldn't help smiling, and said, "Princess Guangde looks so good, she looks like a girl!"

Princess Guangde blushed when Yang Yu told her the truth. It turned out that Yu Cong had been with the princess mansion recently.
