Chapter 1902 The Original Script of "Shanghua Passes" (Part 1)
(1) The beginning of death
Outside Yanmen Pass, the finely divided loess stretches for thousands of miles, not a single grass grows, and it is difficult to find human relations.
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes was approaching, and the dust was flying, stirring up a cloud of sand. There were tall and strong figures on the horses, and under the thick battle robes were pairs of iron bones that had been baptized by the flames of war.
The sound of horseshoes fell, and the leader tightened the reins in his hand, and waved his hand to stop the team from moving forward.
On the Loulan Ancient Road stood a girl with her back to them. She was wearing gorgeous Miao silver jewelry from her hair to her waist, and her knee-length skirt was flapping in the north wind whistling beyond the Great Wall.
Seeing this, a person on the side of the team rode out from the team and wanted to go forward to drive the girl away, but was stopped first.
"Wang." Li Huan frowned in disapproval.
Tuoba Hong just nodded indifferently, moved his legs, and drove the horse to stop behind the girl.
The moment he stopped, the mysterious girl finally turned around slowly, the silver rings on the side of her face jingled, and the slender phoenix eyes were slightly raised, which was a bit lazy like a cat, but it was even more touching.
The girl in front of her was extremely white, her waterfall-like long hair wrapped around her ears, spread over her cheeks, filled with purple and black blue and gray butterfly patterns at the corners of her eyes, making those autumn-like pupils even brighter.
The barrenness of the city can't cover up the curvature of this person's eyes that are gradually opening like ripples in the water, and the smile is alluring.
Everyone on the scene held their breath for a moment, for fear of accidentally disturbing this unearthly girl in front of them.
Tuoba Hong's pupils shrank a little from the moment he saw the girl's face, and stretched out his right hand, ignoring the surprised eyes of the team behind him, and asked in an unprecedented soft tone: "Name?"
The girl raised her head and stared at the man who was as handsome as a god. The sun spread around his body, as if coating him with a holy brilliance, gorgeous and majestic, inviolable.
Ling lips moved slightly, everyone only heard the word "Luo Yan" floating in the wind, and suddenly found that the woman had been pulled onto the horse's back and fell into the arms of the man.
Then came the king's frivolous laugh: "Hahaha, you are as graceful as a frightened bird, and as graceful as a wandering dragon. From today onwards, you are my Tuobahong's Luoshen. Pass the order down, and the master will return to the court and move the capital to Luoyang."
He was answered by the high-pitched shouts of the warriors: "King, King, King..."
However, amidst the high cheers and cheers, there was a man with a complicated expression looking at the men and women who were embracing each other with a solemn expression.
In 493 AD, Tuoba Hong, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, moved his capital to Luoyang. On the way to move the capital, I ran into a young girl from Miaojiang. She was shocked, and she was given the title Luo Concubine, and they went back to the court together.
In the winter of that year, the snow in Luoyang was particularly heavy. Pieces of snowflakes covered the branches on the side of the road, covering the earth and hiding all the colors, white but cold.
The mighty team was walking on the street, and they could be seen standing in the wind and snow like ice sculptures from a distance.
I quietly climbed up to the side of the car, stretched out my hand out of the car window, and caught the snowflakes that were flying by that person. I watched it slowly melt in my hand, and my white palms were gradually colored by blood, and I became crazy in a daze.
The lightly knocked door squeaked, interrupting my thoughts. When I turned my head, I saw him get into the carriage with a short body. Joy.
"Yan'er." His voice was a little deeper than usual, and I knew it was a sign of his anger.
I blinked innocently, and smiled innocently: "I like snow."
He was slightly taken aback, and I suddenly realized that this... seemed to be the first time I had smiled in front of him since I met him.
He looked at me silently for a while, the complexity in his eyes made me almost think he saw something.
Just when I was thinking about what went wrong, he sighed slightly, with a bit of helplessness on his face, but more connivance.
Walking up to me, he wrapped my bare hands into the palm that was used to point the country.
The temperature from my hand made me lose my mind for a moment, and I hurriedly searched for words to change the subject: "But it's here?"
"En." He still focused on the movements of his hands, as if what he was holding in his hands was the great river and mountain he valued most, and he didn't stop until he felt the temperature in his hands gradually recovering.
I withdrew my hand without a trace, opened my arms, and stared at him intently.
His hand was stuck in the air, and then he smiled softly, there was relaxation and indulgence in that smile, just like a few years ago.
At that moment, it seemed as though the trajectory of time had passed through, as if nothing had changed, but everything had changed.
Everything that happened back then, now that I think about it, I can only strengthen my determination, close my eyes without a trace, and cover up all my emotions.
He tightened the priceless white fur on my body, and easily hugged me horizontally. The warm air spread over my face, bringing a touch of dampness.
A magnetic and pleasant voice echoed in my ears: "Yan'er, I'll take you home."
He never called himself "Zhen" in front of me, maybe it was because he was so amazing when he first met him, maybe it was because he was reluctant...
I'm not willing to part with it... I leaned against this warm embrace, feeling the beating of life, and thought ironically.
The moment I opened the car door, the turbulent cold wind poured into the warm car cloak, and I couldn't help shivering.
Holding my hand seemed to feel the strangeness at that moment, it tightened slightly, and blocked the snowstorm for me, but I couldn't stop the astonished eyes of the officials who greeted me, and couldn't hide the lowliness of those luxurious women. On the sagging beauty, there is a slightly ferocious expression and those pairs of unpredictable eyes.
I nestled in his arms and had a panoramic view of everything, but I sneered endlessly in my heart.
He hugged me without hesitation and passed in front of all the civil and military officials, and led me into the magnificent palace.
The day after he brought me back to the palace, he stretched out his hand and led me slowly towards the high platform. Facing all the civil and military officials, the wives and concubines in the harem announced my existence—imperial concubine, second only to the existence of the queen, but possesses more than the queen. more convenient and brutal rights.
I quietly watched the passionate opposition from the officials below, quietly watched the Queen's distorted face due to jealousy, and slowly smiled where he couldn't see it.
That night was our wedding night, I obediently lay in his arms, extremely lingering.
At the last second of entanglement, I clearly heard him ask me: "Yan'er, do you love me?"
Lost in my mind, I only felt that there were pieces of flying snowflakes floating in front of my eyes. Through the layer of water mist, I clearly saw his eager and expectant face, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and he uttered a word softly.
The man's joyful brows and eyes swayed in front of my eyes, but I closed them tiredly, hiding the naked hatred in the deepest part of my eyes.
(2) Sorrow
The heavy snow covered the earth with a thick layer of white blanket, and also bent all kinds of flowers in the imperial garden.
My fingertips lightly rubbed the light snowflakes on the tea flowers beside the stone table, feeling the coolness of the snowflakes melting in my palm.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back." The servant girl who was waiting behind looked at each other and stepped forward timidly to remind her.
I let go of the flower branch in my hand, raised my eyes slightly, looked at the lowered heads of the two girls, and there was a bit of sarcasm in my eyes.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a group of people walking towards me.
There are two women in the lead. From the gorgeous palace attire, exquisite face, and the pomp of hugging, it is not difficult to guess the identity of these two people.
"Bold, you can't be polite when you see the Empress and Concubine Shu." A small eunuch's shrill voice came from the side of the two women as the people stood still, and I frowned slightly.
"Our empress is the imperial concubine. She has the emperor's privilege. She doesn't even need to salute when she sees the emperor. Don't bully others too much." The little eunuch shouted.
The face of the woman standing at the front changed drastically, and she drank majesticly: "Presumptuous, the masters haven't spoken yet, what are you talking about, you dog slaves, come here, pull them all down and fight to death."
"Yes." The guards rushed over, while I narrowed my eyes.
"Sister, what do you mean by this?" The woman standing behind the queen, who is also the Concubine Shu as the little eunuch said, smiled sweetly, looking at me who stood in front of the guards and said with a low smile.
"Should the person who moved me ask me what I mean first?" I glanced coldly at the guards who stepped forward, and the guards couldn't move forward or retreat at once.
"It's all the other way around, can't everyone take what I said as a windfall?" The queen said with a cold face, but her beautiful face looked like a furious Yaksha at this moment.
I secretly sighed in my heart, this queen is too restless, but this is beneficial to myself and saves a lot of trouble.
The guards approached step by step, but I bit my lip, and my tense body slowly relaxed when I saw a corner of the clothes at the end of the flower bed, and my lips raised a curve that no one saw.
When I was reaching out with a certain guard, I bumped into it on my own initiative. The guard was startled by my movement, and hurriedly wanted to back away, but it was too late.
Instinctively pushed towards me, looking from the side, it seemed that he deliberately pushed me down.
My body fell backwards uncontrollably, and with the sound of gasping, I clenched my hands, closed my eyes nervously, and fell into a warm and familiar embrace unsurprisingly.
"Are you injured?" I stared wide-eyed at the face that was close at hand, and those deep eyes reflected myself, stained with obvious worry.
His heart... thumped, he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be in shock and shaking his head.
"See the emperor." There were shouts of prostration one after another, Tuoba Hong took me in his arms, glanced at the crowd coldly, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, just now the empress wanted the empress to salute, but the empress refused, so she asked the guards to do something to the empress." The little girl behind her was so straightforward and cute that she knew how to take meaning out of context.
I lowered my head to hide the smile on the corner of my lips, and took it as my acquiescence.
"Your majesty, my concubine is just..." The queen hurriedly tried to defend herself, but was interrupted by the furious Tuoba Hong.
"The guards who did the work went out to receive a hundred sticks each. As the mother of a country, the empress is not virtuous, so she was ordered to be confined for a month. Concubine Shu, as a concubine in the harem, did not know how to stop her, and was banned for half a month." Tuoba Hong's stern voice shocked everyone. Everyone was shocked, and they didn't dare to argue any more, they bowed their heads and confessed their guilt.
Concubine Shu wanted to defend herself, but the queen stopped her and shook her head at her. Concubine Shu fell to her knees unwillingly.
Those venomous eyes lingered in my heart for a long time, making my lips curl up uncontrollably.
Tuoba Hong watched those people all recede, then looked down at me with pity and asked, "Is it really not hurt?"
I nodded obediently and struggled out of his arms. Under his watchful eyes, the flower garden walking aside intentionally or unintentionally caressed the small flower buds, subtly leading the topic: "The emperor likes turmeric flowers very much?"
"Why do you ask like that?" Tuoba Hong's voice was a little unsteady.
"It's not just the imperial garden, there are many places in the palace where weeds are planted. I thought..." I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly knelt down, "The concubine is just curious, and doesn't mean to speculate on the emperor's heart."
Tuoba Hong was stunned for a moment, and quickly helped me up from the ground: "It's cold on the ground, don't kneel down, I don't mean to blame you."
Tuoba Hong paused, and stroked the immature petals with a little nostalgia: "Tumi flowers are not the love of my heart, but the love of an old friend. If the old man is not here, it is good to keep these flowers as a memory." .”
"Old friend?" My heart moved, but there was a bit of curiosity on my face.
"Old friend, a woman I regard as my own sister." Tuoba Hong replied in a low voice.
I stood behind Tuoba Hong, holding tightly with my right hand a tea flower that I picked just now, pinching it out with black marks. If you are still as sanctimonious as you were back then, then don't blame me.
As the evening wind blew, patches of snow flew up, and the two standing in the imperial garden had their own thoughts.
I never thought that this child would come so suddenly. In the third month of winter, and also in the third month of my own palace, this child broke into my life without warning.
"Is it true, imperial physician?" Tuoba Hong stared at the imperial physician in astonishment.
The imperial doctor knelt down on the ground and said firmly: "The imperial concubine is already two months pregnant, so symptoms such as nausea and dizziness have only appeared recently."
"Aifei, did you hear that? You already have our child in your belly." Tuoba Hong heard the words, the servants of the imperial physician who had never cared about the room, stepped forward to hold my hand, and the excitement was beyond words.
"Aifei, are you unhappy?" Tuoba Hong saw my blankness and asked in a low voice.
"Uh...how come? I just felt a little sudden." I lowered my head and twisted the belt in front of me, the silver ornaments on my head hanging down, reflecting my pale face.
"I understand, hurry up and prepare something for your empress, if there is anything wrong with your empress, I will take your heads off." Tuoba Hong shouted to the servants who were kneeling on the ground, his words were full of the majesty of the emperor .
After all those people retreated, Tuoba Hong took my waist, put his chin on my shoulder, stroked my unobvious belly with his big hand, and murmured in a low voice: "I never thought I am so happy, Yan'er, it's all thanks to you."
There was obvious joy in his whisper, but I secretly lowered my eyes, clutching the belt in front of me tightly with both hands, this child...
