Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Forbidden Court Spring Day

In the forbidden spring day, the warbler feathers are newly embroidered.

Hundreds of herbs skillfully beg for flowers to fight, only bet on pearls full of buckets.

……

The afternoon sun shines obliquely on the spring garden.

Princess Gao Yang sat diagonally in front of the steps, holding the "Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" in her hand, and her face was intoxicated.

The long black hair, not tied up, was allowed to hang freely over his shoulders and pour down the pages.

There is an indescribable sense of tiredness.

Su Dawei stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at Princess Gaoyang, in fact, he was a little embarrassed.

He can't leave now, and he can't stay.

Fang just sent the book and said goodbye, but Princess Gaoyang said, please stay, I will take a look at it casually, and I will return it to you in a while.

It's been almost an hour, as if she's been immersed in the book and hasn't moved.

If it weren't for Princess Gaoyang's occasional fluttering eyelashes, Su Dawei almost suspected that he had encountered a statue.

Princess Gaoyang can stay still all the time, but Su Dawei is indeed too boring.

In this situation, Li Bai's "Qingping Le" flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but chant: "In the spring day of the forbidden court, the warbler feather is newly embroidered." Hundreds of herbs skillfully beg for flowers to fight, only bet on pearls full of buckets. ”

In the spring day in the deep palace, I only saw the yellow bird grow new feathers.

Dig out the hollow under the flowers to play "Dou Baicao", and the bets of winning and losing require a bucket of gold, silver and jewelry.

Originally, he just said this casually, but unexpectedly, Gao Yang, who had always been like a sculpture, trembled his slender eyelashes, as if he had "lived" in an instant.

"How do you know this?"

Princess Gaoyang raised her head, with a pale face, a pair of deep resentful eyes, and red lips like petals, forming a beautiful feeling of visual impact.

It's still fragile beauty.

The original Gao Yang was strong, sunny, and brutal and capricious.

The word vulnerable, as if it never came to her.

But after 11 years of exile in Bazhou, the years have already smoothed everything out and changed a lot.

"Princess, what did you say?"

"Dou Baicao, I was in the palace when I was a child, and I often played with Your Majesty, when Mei Niang was still a talented father and emperor, sometimes I watched us play on the sidelines."

Gao Yang's eyes showed the color of memory.

"It was when we were kids, how do you know? Did Mei Niang tell you? ”

"Sort of."

Su Dawei sweated on his forehead, thinking that I was just bored, seeing you sitting on the steps of the Spring Garden, I just happened to think of this poem.

I'm sorry Brother Li Bai, there is a copyist here.

You'll have one less piece of work in the future, but presumably with your talent, brother, it shouldn't be too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, this casual groan can actually match Gao Yang's childhood experience.

It can only be said that it is ......

Fate.

Su Dawei crossed his hand to Princess Gaoyang and said, "Princess, if you want to see it for a few more days, I can come back in a few days." ”

"Don't worry, you can talk to me first."

Gao Yang raised his face, and there was a kind of sadness on his pale face.

Su Dawei also had to admit that even after ten years of exile in Bazhou, Gao Yang was still very beautiful.

is worthy of being the favorite princess of Emperor Taizong back then.

"What does the princess want to say?"

"Let's just talk about the Wizard's "Chronicles of the Western Regions"."

Gao Yang placed the thick book on his lap, and his long black hair hung down like a waterfall.

This made her skin more and more crystal white.

"I just saw that the young daughter of the king of the ring was assigned by her father to marry the big tree immortal, and the big tree immortal disliked that this girl was not beautiful, so he issued a curse, so that his ninety-nine sisters instantly bent their waists."

Gao Yang stroked the broken hair on his ears, and said sadly to Su Dawei: "Life in the world, there are many sorrows, what is the joy of life, what is the fear of death, my name is Gao Yang, if I die on the birthday of the Sun Zhenjun, it can be said that I will die at the right time." ”

Su Dawei's heart was shocked: "The princess is cautious." ”

A sentence rushed out, and he hurriedly remedied: "Your Majesty has summoned the princess back to Chang'an, and she must have pardoned the past, the princess and Your Majesty have had a good relationship since childhood, and now they can start over and live a good life, how can they say such bad luck." ”

"Ex-Fei?"

Princess Gao Yang laughed.

She laughed this time, looking a little demonic and wanton.

The sound of laughter like silver bells spread throughout the courtyard, and he kept laughing so much that he was almost out of breath, Gao Yang suddenly stopped and said coldly to Su Dawei: "What am I guilty of?" ”

"This ......"

Why are you involved in a case of rebellion, what kind of crime, do you need to talk about it?

Of course, it may be an exaggeration to say that Gao Yang rebelled.

But according to Tang Law, Gao Yang asked about the astrology privately at that time, which was suspected of witchcraft and a big taboo.

For any king, exile is not an unjust case.

"Do you think I am a princess of the Tang Dynasty, so I should follow the rules, and I should be honest with my husband and children? In this way, she is a qualified princess of the Tang Dynasty, right? ”

"This, I don't know."

Su Dawei could see that Gao Yang was sick, and he was not lightly ill.

This disease is not a physical disease, but a mental disease.

It seems that more than ten years of exile have not smoothed the grievances in her heart.

If it weren't for the scruples that the other party would meet the Tang Emperor Li Zhi tomorrow, Su Dawei couldn't wait to turn around and leave now.

He already regretted it a little, he shouldn't have provoked Princess Gaoyang.

"My mother's name is Gao Huitong, and she is a knife man by Taizong's side."

Gao Yang ignored Su Dawei's thoughts, held the book in his hand, leaned against the courtyard, as if falling into a dream-like memory, and said to himself: "The knife man is not a guard, he is a harem concubine." ”

"I know."

In addition to the empress, noble concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines of De, the harem of the Tang Emperor also had middle-level concubines such as Cairen and Zhaorong, as well as lower-level concubines such as imperial maids and Cai Nu.

In addition, there are clothes and knives that tend to serve left and right, and there is no number of members, all of them are under the six grades.

Gao Huitong was born in a famous family, and his father, Gao Shida, was the commander of Gaomi County in the Sui Dynasty.

Her husband is also a local young talent.

After Gaomi was occupied by Dou Jiande, Gao Shida and Gao Huitong's husband became Dou Jiande's subordinates.

In May of the fourth year of Tang Wude, Datang and Daxia launched a decisive battle in Tiger Prison Pass.

Gao Huitong's husband died in battle, and she was captured in Chang'an with her father Gao Shida, Dou Jiande and other officials of Great Xia.

In the fifth year of Wude, Gao Huitong was favored by Li Shimin and accepted as a concubine because of his "gentle nature and supple temperament".

He was 26 years old, one year older than Li Shimin.

However, Emperor Taizong has always been a good wife, and it doesn't matter if the woman is older.

In April of the ninth year of Wude, Gao Huitong died in childbirth at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve when he gave birth to Princess Gaoyang.

This incident had a great impact on Li Shimin, and it was the first time he saw the death of a loved one.

As a result, although Gao Yang is only a concubine, he is loved by Li Shimin far more than other brothers and sisters.

Princess Gaoyang lost her mother when she was a child, and the eldest grandson queen brought her into the palace, regarded her as her own, and raised her carefully.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was born, Zhenguan was ten years, the eldest grandson queen died of illness, and the fourteen-year-old Wu Meiniang entered the palace and became Li Shimin's talent.

Wu Meiniang met the ten-year-old Princess Gaoyang and the eight-year-old Li Zhi, and the relationship between the three was excellent.

……

Su Dawei stood in the court, quietly waiting for Princess Gaoyang's next words.

But she didn't say a word.

The sun was setting in the west, slowly stretching her figure from wall to wall.

Su Dawei looked at the sky, and his face was slightly ugly.

"Princess?"

He hugged his fists and said: "There are still important things to do, please retire first." ”

"You're leaving?"

Gao Yang's gaze was on Su Dawei, but there was no focus in his eyes, and it seemed that his soul had not returned.

"Princess, I still have something to do at home."

"Oh, home, you have home."

Gao Yang's eyes gradually brightened, an apologetic look appeared on his face, and the jade fingers gently picked up the hair on his cheeks and pinned them behind his ears.

"It's me who embarrass you, if you have something, go get busy first, this book ......"

"I'll come back in a few days."

"Very good."

Gao Yang turned his head to look at the side of the courtyard and said nothing.

Su Dawei felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know where this feeling came from for a while.

I always feel that Princess Gaoyang has returned to Chang'an.

But her soul is not here.

Family?

By the way, this princess of the Tang Dynasty has collected thousands of favors in her life.

But it's like a duckweed without roots, and it can't find the feeling of home.

Where the heart rests, it is the hometown.

Princess Gaoyang's heart has nowhere to put it, but where is it?

Su Dawei put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, saluted Gao Yang, and slowly retreated, just about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, I saw Gao Yang holding a book in both hands, as if in a dream: "You only read two sentences of the poem just now, can you finish it?" ”

Su Dawei hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said: "In the spring day of the forbidden court, the warbler feathers are newly embroidered.

Hundreds of herbs skillfully beg for flowers to fight, only bet on pearls full of buckets.

On the evening and night, he took care of the residual makeup, and danced in front of the palace.

Who has a slender waist and limbs, and twists and laughs at the king.

Forbidden autumn night, the moon explores the golden window.

The jade tent mandarin duck sprays the blue musk deer, and the silver lamp is fragrant.

The female companion Mo talked about sleeping alone, and the six palaces were three thousand.

A smile is all beautiful, and Chen sincerely teaches who is on the side.

The smoke is deep and the water is wide, and there is no way to reach the news.

Only the blue sky and the moon are parting.

I feel sad all day long, and my frown seems to be difficult to open.

Stay for a long time and wait for the return of the king's soul. ”

Reading most of it in one breath, Su Dawei hugged his fists and said: "I have little knowledge in the next place, I only remember these." ”

"Sentimental all day long, sad as if the lock is difficult to open, stay half of the quilt every night, wait for the return of the king's soul dream."

As if he hadn't heard it, Gao Yang sighed in his mouth: "This poem ...... That's nice. ”

Su Dawei stood in front of the courtyard door and waited for a long time, only to see Gao Yang sitting at the bottom of the Spring Court steps, his eyes were foggy, and he seemed to be crazy for a while.

He thought about it and quietly withdrew.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Wait a few days to get the book back, and the matter will be over.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Su Dawei went to Chang'an County as usual to order Mao, and then flipped through the files in the public office to see if there were any cases that had not been solved for many years, or new cases.

was flipping through the information, and suddenly saw Nan Jiulang staggering into the public office, and shouted at him almost wailing: "Su Shuai, princess...... Princess she ......"

"Princess?"

Su Dawei stopped what he was doing, looked up in surprise at Nan Jiulang, whose face was pale and his eyes were blank: "You said Princess Gaoyang?" What's wrong with her? ”

Last night, I remembered that Princess Gao Yang mentioned that she would enter the palace today to meet His Majesty.

"Princess Gaoyang, dead."

Groov!

Su Dawei's heart was suddenly shocked.

It's like stepping on the air.

Gao Yang, dead?

How could she die?

Wait a minute......

Su Dawei reacted violently.

I saw Princess Gaoyang yesterday, but the princess died today.

What would Li Zhi think?
