Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

Chapter 93 Moon Cold Frost Flower Pendant (4)
There was a sweet tick-tick sound in my ears, and my heart also calmed down. Looking at the reputation, there is a huge Atlantic glass clock in the hall. It may be the largest and most expensive and gorgeous chime clock in this era. Yan is taller than a head.The whole clock has ivory as the face, agate as the characters, jasper as the support, gold as the hands, pearls inlaid on the shaft, carved and diamonds inlaid, and everything is used to the extreme.

I heard that Xuanyuan Zhongzong, the fifth emperor in the early days of the old court dynasty, especially liked to play with Western glazed clocks. He was in office for only five years, and he rarely made any political achievements in his life. The most famous thing is that he likes to collect gorgeous Western clocks and leave them with historians. One of the longest records is that a whole ship of exquisite porcelain and silk satin was exchanged for two huge glazed self-ringing clocks from the West. Zhongzong triumphantly gave the bigger one a very famous name. : Qianqiu, that is, the one that is looking at me silently in front of me, and the other one should be called "Wandai" in theory, but the emperor named it "Tianxiang".

Although Tianxiang is small, her whole life is amazing. As a gift, she was sent to the Yuan family and as a gift to the Ming family. Under Yuan Qingjiang's clutches, the petite and delicate Tianxiang became the most silent killer in history. The Mingning and his wife died in its distorted breath on a winter night, and then disappeared on the way to raid the house.The last time I was lucky enough to see Tianxiang again, both it and its owner, Ming Fengqing, nearly made my heart stop.

And because Qianqiu is too big, she has been quietly placed in the Yuning Hall of Zhaoming Palace in Kyoto for nearly 500 years, silently witnessing the history of the Xuanyuan family from glory to decline, and finally being humiliated and usurped by Dou Yinghua.Legend has it that Xuanyuan Xizong, who had been a puppet emperor all his life, drank Dou Yinghua angrily before he died, and once smashed a jade cup at Dou Yinghua, which accidentally injured Qianqiu's glass mask. Perhaps this is God's will.

Later, Dou Yinghua succeeded in usurping the throne. Taking into account the meaning of the bell name, he was still repaired and placed in Zhaoming Palace.In the second year of Yuanchang, Qianqiu ushered in a new owner. With Xuanyuan's consent, Yuan Feibai transported it to Chang'an with Dou Yinghua as a spoil of war and gave it to the emperor.

It is said that when we first arrived in Chang'an City, the clock face was broken and the pendulum was no longer moving. The gold pendulum needle and the silver bell word treasures were all in confusion. I don't know which palace man or which soldier It was stolen, wandered among the people, and disappeared. Now Uehara Qingjiang is also a master who likes to play with the chime clock. He specially took the holidays and spent two days and two nights to repair it. Today, this huge monster is still walking slowly.

The faint yellow candlelight softly passes through Qianqiu, refracting the colored glass cover, and the gorgeous light spots are reflected on the snow-white ink plum curtain in front of you, a charming flow of gold and purple, just like the silent plum blossoms on the curtain Suddenly, a colorful face appeared.

Looking through the curtains, there is a hidden couch, on which lies a person in a bright yellow robe, who should be the emperor, behind him stands a woman wearing a phoenix crown, and a person is standing next to him, the emperor seems to be writing something to that person. people watch.

The man just lifted the curtain and came out with a solemn expression. It turned out to be Shen Changzong.He saw that I was calm as usual, and bowed to me in salute.

I saluted him back, then slowly approached, and slowly knelt down before the curtain.

I knelt for a while, and when I was about to fall asleep, a gentle voice came from the curtain. I raised my head, and a pair of catkins stretched out to help me up, "Hibiscus is here, come in quickly, my lord has been waiting for you for a long time." .”

I looked up, but it was Yao Ji who wasn't wearing a mask. Her eye sockets were black and blue, it seemed that she hadn't slept well for a few days.
