Qingchuan History

Chapter 626 Feng Qiuhuang

Leer's green shirt, and Hezhou's rolling verdant green, form a midsummer color screen.

The same emerald Ji Wanling stood on the second floor smiling at her, and was about to raise her hand to beckon, when Heng'er pressed her arm and reminded her:

"Miss has become more and more abnormal recently. You are the imperial concubine, the head of the four wives; Miss Le'er is a concubine, without a title, let alone a title, you are like this—"

Treat people with kindness, but also lose their manners and wave.Before she could finish speaking, Ji Wanling turned around and went downstairs.

It's still the same as in the past, walking steadily and appropriately, and not losing half a point of etiquette because of my heart's joy.But Le'er flew over like a bird, chirping, and King Banning shook his fan and laughed loudly:

"No rules! I told you to call Mrs. Yu!"

Gu Xingyan is Gu Xinglang's elder brother, in terms of seniority, "aunt" is an appropriate term.But after all, she is in the royal family, and the latter is also the king, plus Le'er's status as a concubine, this call is indeed a bit presumptuous.

Ji Wanling doesn't mind.Le'er was the first one to treat her so unruly since she was a child; and this endless winter in the world seemed to be warmed by the little girl's laughter and chatter.

Then he is also King Ning, he is really free and easy, and his words and deeds are also appropriate. If Tan Ying hadn't "informed", she would have never felt that the other party had his own thoughts during the few days of traveling in Hezhou.

"Madam Yu likes Le'er to call her aunt." The little girl replied, already in front of Ji Wanling, "Isn't it, Aunt Wan?"

Ji Wanling smiled, "The flat buns look nice today." After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and took a gold-encrusted emerald bead flower from his head, and gently put it on for her.

The bead flower was bestowed by the emperor.Seeing this, Heng'er was in a hurry.

King Ning smiled again: "Thank you Madam Yu!"

Le'er has a sweet mouth, and she can speak in babbles.Then listen to King Ning continue:
"I wanted to be the last, but she refused. I don't know when I will see you again. I must come early to talk to you more."

The last meaning is to wait for Hezhou officials and female relatives to finish their long-winded farewell.Ji Wanling smiled knowingly: "It's half past the scheduled time, and there's almost an hour left. I just had lunch, and I happened to be talking to Le'er." Then she patted her head,
"I won't see you anywhere. On Tianchang's Day, you will go to the palace with your father and go to Jidu to congratulate you. It will be soon."

A five-year-old girl, who was born in the royal family and has such a background, is already very sensible, "Leer can't enter the palace. It doesn't follow the rules."

She smiled and answered, not regretting at all, just as usual.

Ji Wanling glanced at King Ning, but said nothing.

"Auntie admires this garden every day. Are you tired of it? Let's go to the beach, shall we?"

The post house is in the east of the city, not far from the sea. It is quiet at night, and you can faintly hear the waves lapping on the reef when lying on the bed.Prince Ning's Mansion is located on the top of a low mountain on the coast, independent of the world, and lives with Tianshui.

——This is the first time I have a banquet at the palace, Ji Wanling likes it very much, and the memory is still fresh; when I leave Hezhou, it is the sea that I am most reluctant to part with.

Then he agreed to go again with Heng'er and King Ning's father and daughter.It was quiet in the afternoon, and I occasionally saw fishermen sailing their flat boats back from the end of Tianshui.

"Although she is a concubine, but you named her according to the generation of the ancestor's daughter, which shows that you love her. Why don't you ask your majesty for a title?"

The daughter of the next generation of the Gu family should follow "Yun", and Leer's name is Yunfan.

However, not all children born in the clan can decide whether they are "named" based on their generation, the jade certificate, their birth level, and their father's likes and dislikes.

"His mother came from a humble background. I named her according to the ancestral genealogy. It is considered nonsense. The princess cannot be canonized if she is not from the princess. Even if there are exceptions, she must be pardoned by the head."

The relationship between Gu Ji's family is extraordinary, comparable to that of a monarch and his ministers, and the children have known each other since childhood, and they can be called casually in private conversations.

When Leer reached the coast, she took off her shoes and ran into the water with her skirt on.It's hot in the afternoon in midsummer, and it's cloudy today, but the heat can't be blocked without the sun, and the cool sea water is relieving boredom.

Since she wanted someone to take care of her, Heng'er had to hold her skirt and heels.She had never taken off her shoes outside, so she had to struggle before giving in.Ji Wanling and Gu Xingyan stood by the shallow waves and watched the little girl play wildly, and then answered:
"Then why not give her mother a place?"

Neither the main concubine nor the side concubine can, but it is always okay to give the name of a wife?On the contrary, she has never met Le'er's mother, and never heard the father and daughter mention it.

Gu Xingyan waved his fan to watch Le'er ride the waves, as if he didn't hear it and didn't seem to want to answer.

Does it mean that besides the concubine, she does not want to set up another position?
Thinking about who is the right concubine in his mind, Ji Wanling suddenly lost his words.The shallow waves came over every now and then, sometimes far away, sometimes near, and sometimes wet the toe of the shoes.

Normally, she would have to retire.But Gu Xingyan didn't retreat, and she couldn't do it because of etiquette.

"When the third brother was alive," he heard the other party say suddenly.

Ji Wanling's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help turning pale.

Gu Xingyan felt the stagnation of air beside him without turning his head, "My brother made a slip of the tongue."

"Tell me." Ji Wanling said for a while, "What about him?"

Gu Xingyan turned his head to confirm that she was still in good condition, and looked back at the sea with a fan:

"The third brother once asked me to teach him how to play the piano, and I will give it to you as a gift on your birthday."

He doesn't care about Xing Lei.It was more like what Gu Xinglang would have done back then.

"As far as I can remember, he has used the martial arts field as his home, or traveled to the border to practice and resolve disputes. How could he learn the piano for the girl's birthday. King Ning made fun of me."

"Really. I also specified that I want to learn "Feng Qiuhuang". I said that there are four or five versions of this song alone, and he was dumbfounded on the spot."

Ji Wanling couldn't think of Gu Xinglei being dumbfounded.Until the memory ceased at the age of 14, he was the scorching sun at noon, full of heroism.

"Did you learn it later?" She tried her best to keep her tone calm, her voice was so soft that it was swept away by the waves.

"I learned it. I chose a relatively cheerful version, saying that it is a birthday celebration. But in fact, all the piano songs are slow to gain skill. He laughed and said that he has no piano skills, and he can play fast just fine."

"What year is it?"

King Ning stopped shaking his fan, "I learned from me three times, all in the same year. The next year he went to Fengting Pass."

It has been a long time since no one mentioned Gu Xinglei in such a normal tone, as if talking about family affairs.

It should be said that there has been no such thing as the Battle of Fengting Pass.

King Ning is the most daring and least restrained among the men of the Gu family's generation, so it's not surprising that he mentions it.

but--

"I'm taking the liberty to talk about it today, mainly because I have a part in this old story. But the song has not been learned, the piano has not been played, and he never came back. I thought, I should tell you. Madam Yu,"

Ji Wanling's heart beat faster.

"Even if it's cold in winter, don't forget that there are people in heaven and earth who miss each other. I, Gu's man, have the same friendship with you and Ji as before."

There are many interpretations of this statement.

Apologize for Gu Xinglang.

Finish the unfinished words for Gu Xinglei.

For himself, tactfully express his heartfelt feelings.

"For more than ten years, I listened to the piano at various banquets and feasts of the four seasons," Ji Wanling said for a long time. "In my impression, "Feng Qiu Huang" is slow but not restrained, bright but not boring. It is cheerful, and I have never heard it before."

The bone fan in King Ning's hand shook again, and the three-character cursive on it was the imperial pen of Gu Xinglang by the Hulan Lake that night, and it was especially warm in midsummer. "Your brother will play it for Mrs. Yu?"

The palace is right by the sea, so it doesn't take time to get the piano.

The entourage is ordered to go back quickly.

Le Er learned that her father was going to play the piano, so she ran ashore barefoot.Heng'er was exhausted with the children, and went back to the shore to see King Ning sitting on the ground, Qin also sitting on the ground, and Ji Wanling sitting on a rock waiting to listen, dumbfounded.

When the piano sounds, it floats into the sea like smoke curling up, and the joy is also dyed with mist.Ji Wanling couldn't picture Gu Xinglei playing this piece in her mind, she just felt it was beautiful, not worse than the widely circulated slow version.

To the overtone section, Le'er gently pulled Ji Wanling's Yijiao, "I can sing this song."

It means to sing harmony.Ji Wanling motioned her to ask her father, the little girl went over, got permission, straightened her skirt a bit, still stepped on sand and stones with bare feet, and sang to the end of the sky and sea:
There are beauties, and you will never forget them.I don't see you for a day, and I think like crazy.

Feng Fei soars, seeking phoenix from all corners of the world.Helpless beauty is not in the east wall.

Replace the piano with the language, chat and write from the bottom of my heart.Wish to match virtue, hand in hand.

When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me in my hesitation.If you can't fly, I will perish. 【1】

Ji Wanling is not sure whether Gu Xingyan intends to teach this libretto.

The prince and concubine played the piano by the sea, although they were open and frank in front of people, they went beyond the rules.

Fortunately, King Ning has a reputation for being free and easy.

Mrs. Yu's tour of the whole country is no longer within the rules of concubines.

Taking into account the friendship between the Ji family, which is rare in the world, so after the performance and singing, the two were silent. Although the guards around felt strange, they did not dare to make random arrangements.A servant of the palace looked forward to the opportunity and whispered the time to King Ning.

Ji Wanling had already got up, still standing beside the reef, a little dazed, and gradually turned her gaze to the shore hundreds of miles away, "Is that a ship under construction?"

Even though we are far away, we will see each other for the first time.Hezhou is near the sea, and most of the prominent families in the city started out as shipbuilders.

Gu Xingyan nodded, "More to the south. There are ships docking along the entire east coast of Daqi. You haven't been out to sea by boat, have you?"

Ji Wanling shook her head.

"I'm on official business this time, so I'm in a hurry. Madam Yu will make arrangements when she comes to Hezhou again. When the time comes, I will take you back to the post."
