Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 87
On the day of Lunar Moon every month, Emperor Xianzong Li Chunbi led all officials to Xingqing Palace to congratulate Emperor Shunzong Li Song.In the first year of Yuanhe, Emperor Xianzong conferred the honorary title again, calling Shunzong Li Song the Supreme Emperor of Yinggan Shengshou.The Supreme Emperor Li Song was also very happy to see his son Xianzong Li Chun being so filial, but it didn't take long for him to become ill, and the medicine began to fail, and he died soon after, at the age of 46.

8. Mei Niang is not Mei Niang
Shunzong Li Song was promoted, and Xianzong Li Chun could only sit up and sit in the palace all day long because it was inconvenient to look at the dynasty in the despondency of serving filial piety.Whenever he was bored and bored, Emperor Xianzong Li Chun ordered the goddess Lu Meiniang to sing the "Song of Youxian".Lu Meiniang was born with a delicate throat, and her singing voice was melodious and beautiful. At the end of each song, her voice was as thin as a gossamer, with a lingering aftertaste. On her beautiful and clean face, with her curved eyebrows and small lips, she looked like a fairy. , and the otherworldly and refined "Song of Youxian" makes the singer Meiniang look otherworldly and refined.

On weekdays, whenever the goddess Lu Meiniang met Emperor Xianzong Li Chun, she would cover her lips and smile, making Emperor Xianzong Li Chun, who never paid attention to women's sex, always feel suddenly full of charm and turmoil.But now, Lu Meiniang also sang to the emperor today, and she sang to the emperor tomorrow. Gradually, Xianzong Li Chunfei became displeased with Meiniang.After meeting Meiniang, Xianzong Li Chun couldn't do anything to her.

At this time, Lu Meiniang was growing up gradually, she was slim and charming, and charmingly naive, and her innocence really caught everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but not love her.Although Xianzong is not a womanizer, but every day listening to her melodious singing voice, looking at her graceful appearance, and feeling her elegance, charm and innocence, he can't help but feel calm. My heart became more and more violent.So Emperor Xianzong Li Chun began to put his heart on Lu Meiniang. From then on, every time it was reported that Lu Meiniang would enter the palace to sing, he sent the maids on the left and right, as well as the concubines who served him, away.

Then Emperor Xianzong ordered the sweet and charming Mei Niang to sit cross-legged on the ground, cuddle up to his knees and sing softly.When she sang melodiously and emotionally, Emperor Xianzong couldn't help reaching out to stroke Meiniang's neck.Mei Niang is like a bird in her arms, soft and obedient.When Xianzong Li Chun wanted to hold her in his arms, and was about to carry out some sudden substantive work, Meiniang laughed again, folded her waist like a bird of surprise, and hid in the corner.Seeing her innocent and childish appearance, Emperor Xianzong couldn't bear to push her too hard, but his love for Meiniang became stronger and stronger with each passing day.The way the emperor expresses his love is also in the nature of gifts. Whenever there is a treasure or cosmetic in the palace, he will go to give it to Meiniang first.The emperor's way of expressing his love is traditionally called pampering, but the high-spirited Meiniang just doesn't like this customary name and this gifted expression of love.

As the weather gradually warmed up, Emperor Xianzong Li Chun listened to Meiniang singing every day, so he moved to the porch at the southeast corner of the hall.At this time, it was dusk and the moon was shining, a piece of bright and pure jade-white light shone on Meiniang's face, making her skin look as good as powdered and fat, her long eyebrows encroached on the temples and became greener, and her vermilion lips became more delicate and colorful.Emperor Xianzong stared at Meiniang's face intently, he couldn't bear it any longer, while Cheng Meiniang was concentrating on singing, he went to hug her slender waist and hugged her in his arms. sit.

Meiniang was so startled that her jade face turned pale, Xianzong Li Chun leaned towards her face, and was about to make out with her, but Meiniang put her head back in Xianzong's arms, sobbing loudly, and the crying broke down all at once. With rain pear blossoms, tears dripping down the face, even iron and stone people would feel sorry for them, not to mention Xianzong is also an amorous emperor, he couldn't bear this tricky hand, so he let her go, let her be free, and comforted her , and wiped away the tears on her face with the sleeve of the robe, rewarded her with silk pearls, and ordered the maids to accompany her back to the room.

Unexpectedly, Meiniang was so frightened that she fell ill the next day, her whole body was burning hot, her condition was very serious, she couldn't sing for seven or eight days in a row.Emperor Xianzong couldn't leave Meiniang for a day, but now that he didn't see Meiniang for seven or eight days, he couldn't help but personally move to the harem to visit Lu Meiniang.From then on, Emperor Xianzong Li Chun sat next to the sick couch in Meiniang's room every day after he came to court.Mei Niang is good at crying, especially when she is sick.Once Xianzong cried, she had to be comforted softly with a kiss, so that she could burst into laughter again.

Mei Niang's condition gradually eased, and her consciousness gradually became clear.After recovering from her illness, when Meiniang saw Emperor Xianzong, she acted like a baby in every possible way, talked and laughed very affectionately, and was so innocently happy. The whole world became bright and open because of her cuteness, but she just didn't want to. Ken complied with Emperor Xianzong's request.

It's not that Mei Niang doesn't love this handsome, affectionate, gentle and ambitious young emperor, but like that Miss Wang Zhu, she doesn't like the jealousy, flattery and coercion in the palace, and she doesn't like that kind of gifted inequality She is deeply aware of the truth that flowers are not popular for a hundred days and people are not good for a thousand days. She is afraid that once her beauty fades and she is old like pearls, the emperor's love will also ebb. In the deep cold palace, how the long years of swallowing will end.

Xianzong slowly said that he wanted to accept her as a noble concubine, but Mei Niang did not refuse, she just said: "The servant girl is still young and doesn't know etiquette, and she is afraid of offending the beauty of heaven. Wait for a year or two, let the servant girl learn the etiquette, and it will not be too late to serve Long Live."

Hearing her tactful and pitiful words, Emperor Xianzong agreed to postpone the appointment of a concubine for a year or two.Meiniang also begged Xianzong to release 500 senior maids in the harem, only a few days after Xianzong released them from the palace, Meiniang also begged to release another 600 prostitutes from Jiaofang.Xianzong's favor is all on Meiniang, and he obeys in everything.So this group of older court ladies who had no hope of being engraved, came out of the deep palace to see the light of day, and rearranged their lives and happiness all praised Meiniang's merits, but Meiniang saw it from them through the dust and dust of the years. After many years, the old pearls and reds have faded, but the shadow of herself is still hidden in the deep palace. At such a time, the crying Meiniang weeps even more.Emperor Xianzong didn't know what Meiniang was thinking, he only needed a year or two to get such a happy person to accompany him day and night. I won't pay attention to them, let alone banish this group of vulgar fans.

Xianzong finally lived like a year for two years, but he never expected that on that day, the Meiniang that Emperor Xianzong saw in the harem was Lu Meiniang who had all the threads of troubles cut off, and was dressed as a perfect girl.Xianzong was extremely disappointed, he took Meiniang's hand tightly and hastily, and stomped his feet repeatedly. For a moment, Xianzong Li Chun was so anxious that he couldn't speak a word.

And Meiniang only said one sentence: "I beg the Lord Long Live to let the servants go." She knelt down on the ground, sobbing and crying bitterly.Xianzong Li Chun saw her crying very sadly, and couldn't bear to force her.Finally endured until the next day, Xianzong went to visit again, originally wanting to comfort her, but who knew that Xianzong hadn't spoken yet, but Meiniang cried even harder, and continued like this for five or six days, and she never saw her again. Mother used to be coquettish and affectionate.

Finally, Xianzong saw that Meiniang was unwilling to change her mind, and sighed: "This is a fairy in the sky, and ordinary people like me cannot enjoy her beauty." Then he gave a golden phoenix ring as a souvenir, and Xianzong personally tied her arm Come on son, give me the title Xiaoyao Fairy, and let Meiniang go back to the South China Sea.

After Mei Niang's departure, Emperor Xianzong served as concubine Guo Gui and Concubine Zheng Shu in every possible way to comfort him, and made the harem concubine Qiang sing and dance for fun.

Xianzong's extreme sadness was expected by everyone. In his extreme sadness, he ordered the eminent monk Gao Dao to perform a great deed in the palace and recommended the fairy.At this time, someone came to report: "In the East China Sea, I often see Lu Meiniang, the fairy of Xiaoyao, riding a purple cloud to invite you to visit."The envoy went there for three months, so naturally he came back empty-handed.But Xianzong believed in the immortality of immortals from then on.Every day after leaving court and returning to the palace, he would travel between monks and Taoists, visit immortals and ask for the Dharma, and even sent Zhang Wei, an internal servant, to Qinglai Island to look for immortals.
