The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 788 Floating Life ([-])

(PS: When writing this chapter, I just watched the micro-movie "AI" made by Guo Jingming, and then I kept playing Joey Yung's song in small and small letters, which is a bit hypocritical. If you have nothing to do while watching this chapter, you can play a song, and the effect will be better. better hahahaha)
Wanyu's face is as calm as the spring breeze blowing the green leaves outside the window: "I still remember the day when I first met Lingyou, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. My elder sister and I sat with Ama, Feieriang, and mother, eating moon cakes to enjoy At the end of the month, I went to the small kitchen and heard someone crying. I was young at the time, so I wondered who it was, and ran to have a look, only to find out that it was only today that I entered the mausoleum of the mansion."

She raised her eyes to look at Shuangruo, and said with a smile, "I told him, a man doesn't flick his tears easily, why are you crying? With tears in his eyes, he just looked at me blankly when he turned his head, sobbing and said, he will cry in the future. There is no home anymore. I didn’t know him well at that time, and I didn’t know where I had the courage, so I went up and held his hand and told him, it’s okay, you can treat me as your family in the future.”

His thoughts fell into that good time, and even the lines at the corners of his eyes were folded with a smile: "He laughed when he heard this, then took my hand, and ran out secretly, let's go to Huadeng Lane, West Street I played there. That year, I was eight years old."

"The morning when Lingyou was sent to the palace by Ama, I frantically searched for him in the mansion, but I couldn't find him, so I cried. Later, Ama told me that he had entered the palace. He also told me that he entered the palace to be a eunuch."

Wan Yu smiled lightly and shook her head: "At that time, I didn't know what it meant to enter the palace, and I didn't know what a eunuch was. I just knew that I might never see him again in my life. I'm so young, but I I feel uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable. I remember crying for several days, and later, I gradually got used to the days without him."

At this point, the tears in her eyes could not be restrained from falling.

One by one, silently dripping on the back of her wrinkled hands.

She raised her head and wiped away the tears happily: "I never thought that one day I will enter the palace and I will see him again."

She looked at Shuangruo and asked with a wry smile: "You said, I almost forgot his appearance, why would I see him again?"

Shuangruo looked at Wanyu like this, and felt sad from it. She couldn't help but turn red eyes and persuaded: "Your suffering is known to all servants. Empress Dowager, don't talk about it. The sun is fine today, and this servant will help you out for a walk stop."

Wan Lai glanced out the window, May is her favorite month.

Only in this month can we see that magnolia, which has been painstakingly planted in the yard, is in full bloom.

Magnolia magnolia is a flower that grows on the branches. There are no leaves when the flowers grow, and the leaves grow when the flowers fall.

It seems that there is only one person left, and there is no room for others.

Wanyu stared at the flowers for a long time, then waved her hand to Shuangruo, and continued: "I have been in the palace for so long, and for such a long time, he helped me out of almost all the dangers. In fact, in my heart, I am extremely sorry for him. I know, I always knew, the day he met me again, the day he rescued me in Yuhuayuan, he looked into my eyes, and there was light in his eyes."

"Later, Xuan Ye hugged me from his arms, and I saw the light in his eyes gradually disappear. Xuan Ye gave him an official title and rewarded him with silver. Although he was smiling, I knew that Not laughing."

"The day he passed away, I talked to him a lot, and I finally dared to face him." Wan Yu shrugged and smiled, but her old and thin shoulder blades were trembling with tears.

Shuang Ruo put his hand on Wanyu's shoulder full of distress, and Wanyu pressed her hand: "Although I have never really been with him, nor have I given him half a promise, but I just feel that I owed him, and until the last moment, I didn't have the courage to face him. I told him that I always put him in my heart, and I have always been attached to him, I think"

Her smile weakened little by little, and finally turned into a mournful and helpless cry.

She was ambiguous, but said in a weak but resolute voice: "I want to be his wife."

Shuang Ruo also covered her lips and wept, and Yang Juan wiped away endless tears for Wan Yu: "Queen Mother, don't talk anymore, let's take a rest."

Wan Yu ignored her, calmed down, and said to herself: "Then, I saw the blood overflowing from the corner of his lips. But the person who deserves to be damned is clearly me, clearly it is me."

She fiddled with the Gobi chalcedony finger on her thumb. The finger seemed to be embedded in the flesh, making the front of her thumb congested and turned lavender, and there was no room to move it: "The things he gave me are not Not much, I have carried this finger of Gobi chalcedony for more than 30 years, and I have never taken it off. I always feel that he is still there. He is right beside me."

After saying this, he took off the hairpin on the bun.

Today's Wannai is already tired of being covered in jewels and emeralds.All day long, the hair is tied up in a high bun, but it is only tied with this hairpin.

At the moment when the hairpin was disassembled, the full head of gorgeous hair fell down like a silver waterfall, and the warm sunlight poured on it, shining brightly.

"You always say that this hairpin is broken and old. Why do I wear it every day? Look, what is it?" She lightly stroked the hairpin, resting her fingertips on the inconspicuous one at the end of the hairpin. On the stone: "This is the first thing he gave me. I remember that night when the stars flew into the night, I stood side by side with him and watched together. Later he lied to me that this fluorite was a star."

After the words fell, he held the silver in his hand and pressed it tightly to his chest, weeping uncontrollably.

"How I wish he could keep lying to me."

"I miss him so much."

I don't know how long she cried in such great distress, before Wanyan supported Shuangruo's hand and got up: "Shuangruo, I'm tired, I want to go to sleep for a while."

Shuang Ruo helped Wan Lai change her comfortable pajamas, helped her onto the couch, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her, moved a low mahogany stool to sit by the couch, and shook a round fan in her hand to keep her cool.

There are countless jade flower vases on the couch, but there are no other things in the vases, and all the magnolias in full bloom are inserted.

In summer, the whole hall is filled with magnolia fragrance.

Just smelling that smell makes people feel comfortable.

In the courtyard, the spirit of spring is strong.Magnolia magnolia planted one after another has become a sea of ​​flowers.

The purple-white flowers were extremely beautiful, and the wind blew the flowers down, scattered all over the ground.

Just like the old days, when Wan Lai first entered the palace and lived in Jiangxuexuan.

Everything is so beautiful.

Shuangruo just stayed by Wanyu's side like this, from noon until sunset, and until the dark of night.

She looked at Wanyu, with a slight smile on her face, sleeping deeply.

She could no longer see her nose wings slightly tucked in, her chest rising and falling slowly, and nothing else.

She knew that in her life, she would eventually have to be free.

Shuangruo got up and lit a palace lantern, and then knelt down in front of Wanyu's couch, with a calm expression, tears streaming down her face, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Wanyu.

There were wailing sounds one after another from Yonghe Palace, the empress, concubines, princes, and palace people.

Everyone looked sad and cried bitterly.

Only the faint smile on Wanyu's face never retreated.

On May 23, the first year of Yongzheng, Empress Dowager Wu Yashi died in Yonghe Palace at the age of 64. ①
