Chapter 16(2/3)
I hope that I will disappear!
Dreams are vague, people are vague,
If heaven has feelings, heaven will grow old!
If you can't make a song, you can't make a tune.
How much sorrow is there in the wind and rain?
Outside Shufangzhai, Qianlong was deeply attracted by such a sad song and couldn't help but stand and listen quietly.
Ziwei sings attentively, Qianlong listened to them. Ziwei sings attentively, Qianlong listened to them. Ziwei sings attentively, Qianlong listened to them. Ziwei sings attentively, Qianlong listened to them. Ziwei sings attentively, Qianlong listened to them.
After Ziwei finished singing, she was full of thoughts and sighed quietly.
Outside the window, a sigh also came.
The little swallow's sleepiness disappeared completely, as fast as an arrow, jumped up, shot straight out of the goal, shouting:
"Are you a human or a ghost? Get out of here! In the middle of the night, why are you sighing outside my window? I didn't catch you last time, and I will never let you go again this time! Get out!"
The little swallow thudded and hit Qianlong.
Qianlong stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiaoyanzi's collar. Xiaoyanzi was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that the other party's skills were so good that he didn't even have room to perform. She didn't even look at it, and cursed:
"Which road are you from? Sign up! You dare to mess with your aunt, you will be desperate..."
Qianlong spoke coldly:
"Do you need to report my name?"
The little swallow was shocked and looked up and was so scared that she was scattered.
"Which road I am from? Have you seen it clearly?" Qianlong asked again.
The little swallow knelt down and shouted:
"Ama! Why are you here at the third update in the middle of the night?"
Ziwei's piano came to an abrupt end. She looked up at Jinsuo, not knowing that she should be surprised or happy.
After a while, Qianlong was already sitting in a comfortable chair. The three girls were very busy. They took the cushion, the end of the snack, and the tea made tea. Qianlong looked at the four-year-old, and the interior was quiet and warm. A few gauze lanterns, three beauties, a furnace of sandalwood, and a guqin. This atmosphere and this charm made Qianlong feel a little drunk.
Xiaoyanzi followed Qianlong, busy and excited.
"Emperor, why don't you say a word or let Xiaoluzi report it. Just standing outside the window scared me!"
Qianlong smiled and asked:
"Where are Xiao Dengzi and the others?"
"It's late at night, everyone is sleepy, I told them to go to bed!" Xiaoyanzi said, "Do you want them to serve?"
"No need!"
Ziwei and Jinsuo were busy making tea.
Qianlong looked at the piano on the table and stared at the busy Ziwei:
"Are you just playing the piano and singing?"
Ziwei turned around and replied respectfully while making tea:
"It's a slave!"
"Good piano skills and good singing voice!" Qianlong praised sincerely. After looking at Ziwei carefully, he was such a beautiful woman! Her lips were red without touching, her eyebrows were green without drawing, her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyes were like morning stars.
Ziwei brought a cup of tea and served it.
"This is Biluochun from West Lake. I heard that when the emperor visited the south, he loved to drink Biluochun the most. When I saw that Shufangzhai had such tea, I left it for the emperor! Try it, I have already carefully selected it, leaving only a piece of leaf heart, which is the tenderest!"
Qianlong was surprised and looked at Ziwei deeply. After taking the tea, he saw the green fragrance. He felt happy and took a sip.
"Good tea!" He stared at Ziwei, "Would you like to sing the song just now to me again?"
"Abide by the order!"
Ziwei bent her knees, walked to the table, sat down slowly, plucked the strings, and sang.
Qianlong listened attentively and stared at Ziwei. Such singing voices, such a person! It seems that there have been similar scenes before. How familiar and friendly this scene is!
After Ziwei finished singing, she bowed to Qianlong:
"I'm so ugly!"
Qianlong looked at Ziwei intently and asked softly:
"Who teaches your piano? Who teaches your song?"
"It's my mother..." Ziwei was alert to the inappropriate use of the word, and corrected it, "It's my mother, I'm teaching me!"
Qianlong sighed:
"No wonder Xiaoyanzi always comes and goes, this 'slave' like this, 'slave' is really awkward. Now there is no outsider. If you ask you what you want, just answer it directly, no need to be polite!"
"Yes! Emperor!"
"Where is your mother now? How could she send you into the palace to serve as a servant?"
"Back to the emperor, my mother has passed away!" Ziwei said sadly.
"Oh! Who wrote the lyrics?"
"It was written by my mother!"
"Your mother is a woman who can be poetic and literary! But, the lyrics are too desolate!" Qianlong said with emotion.
Ziwei saw Qianlong whispering to him and asked with great sincerity, her heart was filled with happiness. At this moment, she couldn't help but take a breath and mustered up the courage to say:
"My mother wrote for my father because she missed me!"
"Oh? What's wrong with your father?" Qianlong was stunned.
Xiaoyanzi was beside her, and her heart was beating. Her father... she didn't even recognize her when she saw her!
Jin Suo stood aside, his eyes were wet. Her father... was close to him!
"My father..." Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi, Jinsuo, and Qianlong, tears fog surged in her eyes, trying to maintain the calmness of her voice, and she still had a tremolo, "My father, for a long time, for the sake of his future, he left my mother and left for the sake of his future, and there was no news!"
Qianlong was stunned and looked at Ziwei and couldn't help but feel pity.
"So, you are also a child with a pitiful life experience! It is also a blessing for your father to have your mother to look forward to it like this! What happened later? Did he go back?"
Ziwei whispered:
"No. My mother didn't wait for my father until she died!"
Qianlong sighed:
"What a pity! So, the ancients said, "Suddenly I saw the willows on the street, and I regretted asking my husband to find a title for a marquis." Young couples cannot withstand the farewell! If they did not say parting lightly, they would not have had a lifetime of waiting!"
Ziwei looked at Qianlong with complex emotions and fluctuations in her thoughts:
"The Emperor analyzed it very well! However, at that time, parting was also helpless. After all, no one expected that one parting would be a lifetime! However, my mother said a few words to me at the time of death, which impressed me..." As she said that, she hesitated a little, "The Emperor probably was not interested in listening to this!"
"No! I'm very interested! Say it!"
Ziwei stared at Qianlong, almost crying:
"My mother said, I waited for a lifetime, hated for a lifetime, thought for a lifetime, and blamed for a lifetime... But I am still grateful to God for giving her this person who is 'can wait for, hateful, imagined, and blamed for a lifetime'! Otherwise, life will be like a dry well, with no fun!"
Qianlong was shocked. He yearned for such a woman.
"What a deep feeling, you can say such a thing! Your mother's unrepentant affection is deeply moved by me! Your father, letting down a good woman!"
Xiaoyanzi's eyes kept rolling, sometimes looking at Qianlong and sometimes looking at Ziwei. At this time, she could no longer hold back and shouted excitedly:
"Ah Ma! Do you think such a woman is too stupid? I deserve sympathy? I got angry when I heard this. I waited for a lifetime and thanked God. Then, I deserve to suffer! Women are too pitiful and too boring, just wait all day long! I will not fight for my own happiness!"
Qianlong took a deep look at Xiaoyanzi:
"I understand, you think of your mother too, right? Although you and Ziwei are in different situations now, their experiences are quite similar!"
Xiaoyanzi was stunned, and Ziwei was stunned. Both of them were shocked.
Qianlong looked out the window with deep thought, feeling a little sad:
"As a man, there are things that cannot be controlled by himself! Men usually have ambitions and are lofty and cannot be restrained. Therefore, it is easy to show mercy, but it is difficult to keep mercy! It is easy to be moved and it is difficult to be infatuated! There are always conflicts in the choice between the country and the beauty. Men have too big hearts and want most things, and they often give up the happiness around them at the last moment. You don't understand this! I've said too far!" Turning back my eyes, looking at Xiaoyanzi with guilt, and looking at Ziwei with pity, "For a long time, I haven't 'talked' with others like this! It's really not easy to talk to you two about your inner problems!" Looking at Ziwei, "Ziwei, with your talent, being a palace maid is too aggrieved!"
The little swallow rushed out:
"Empress! You should also accept her as an 'adopted daughter'!"
Qianlong glared at Xiaoyanzi.
"You think it's very simple to accept an adopted daughter, right? You always speak without going through your brain!"
Ziwei was startled, afraid that the little swallow would fuck her too quickly and destroy this precious warmth, so she hurriedly said:
"The princess is verbal but not insincere. The princess must not get me wrong! Ziwei can be a palace maid by the princess' side, and she is enough!"
Xiaoyanzi shouted unconvincedly:
"Didn't Confucius say 'No one should kiss his relatives alone, and not only his sons alone'? Emperor Ahma, please bring all the girls you encounter in the world like me into the palace to be the princess!"
