The Golden Hairpin

They were watching, and the female officer Yanling next to the queen came over and said: "The queen has already opened the side hall, and the princess needs to take a rest. If you want to see the scenery in the palace, go to the nearby Taiye Pool. Have fun, but don't leave it far."

Xianyun heard that he could go down to play, and immediately asked with joy, "Really? That's great!"

Yanling turned around and called an older court lady named Changqing, and asked her to take them to the Taiye Pool for a walk. Huang Zixian and Xianyun followed Changqing to the Taiye Pool. As soon as they got on the Tangmu Boat, they heard someone shouting on the water: "Tasman Zhao is here, everyone in front of you avoid!"

They looked up and saw a painted boat coming from the water, with an older yellow gate standing on the bow, shouting at them with full of breath.

They hurriedly got off the Tangmu boat and stood solemnly by the dock waiting for Princess Zhao to reach the shore.

When the boat reached the shore, a few eunuchs and court ladies went ashore first, and then came down a girl with a round face and apricot eyes. Huang Zixia was a little surprised when she saw her, she was actually Princess Qi Le. I also remembered what Jingcheng said, in order to let Princess Zhao marry, Princess Qi Le deliberately went to the Princess to copy the scriptures daily. Recently, I heard that she fell ill because of Princess Kui's affairs, but she did not expect that she would enter the palace again today to accompany Princess Zhao.

The elder Huang Men helped out Princess Zhao from the cabin. Princess Zhao is a very gentle and charming person. When she smiles, she has fine crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes are slightly tired, but the corners of her mouth are always raised.

Entered the palace at the age of thirteen, gave birth to a son at the age of fifteen, became a concubine at the age of twenty-four, and even owned his own palace in the Daming Palace. After the death of other emperors, they were sent to the Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace. It is much better than nature.

Huang Zixian and Xian Yun hurriedly approached to see you. Mrs. Zhao heard that she was a member of the Royal Palace of Kui. She looked at Huang Zixian and Xianyun with a smile. After asking her name, she looked at Huang Zixian deliberately and asked, "You are the young **** Yang Chonggu who broke the Beijing Four Plan?"

"Yes." Huang Zixian lowered his head and said.

"Well, good people and good looks, King Kui always looks at people." She said, and then asked, "Are you accompany Princess Kui into the palace today? It just so happens that since I'm here, I'll go and take a look. The royal girl, she will also be a royal person in the future."

Zhao Taifei smiled, and led the people to the Penglai Hall. Huang Zixia waited for a group of people behind her to pass by, and was about to keep up. Suddenly the sleeves were pulled, a woman pursed her lips and laughed beside her, and whispered: "Daddy Yang, we meet again."

She turned her head and looked at it. It turned out to be a woman with a pipa in her arms. She had a round face and looked forward to flying. She was a very beautiful and neat woman.

Huang Zixian recognized that she was the pipa musician Jinnu who played the pipa next to Zhaowang Li Xi last time, and quickly nodded to her. She covered her mouth and laughed, and said quietly: "Today, Princess Zhao wants to listen to the pipa song, Lord Zhao asked me to come over."

Princess Zhao is the biological mother of Emperor Zhao Li, and Huang Zixia also knows it. While they were talking, they had already entered the gate of the Penglai Hall, and the Queen Wang came out to greet Princess Zhao in person.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Huang Zixian saw the queen following Wang Ruo, walking down the steps surrounded by the female officials and court ladies. Among all the beautifully dressed and flower-like faces, only the Queen's face was as radiant as the moon, as if it could illuminate the spring in front of her, and even Wang Ruo, who was much younger than her behind her, could not take away the slightest brilliance from her.

Queen Wang was condescending, looking down at Huang Zixia and other people. The Penglai Temple is next to the Taiye Pool. Suddenly the wind and water rolled up the corners of the queen’s dress and skirt. The seven-layered gauze was like a crimson peony blooming in the breeze, half covering her peerless beauty, ethereal and gorgeous, Almost turned into a fairy and flew away.

Huang Zixia couldn't help but forget the etiquette, just staring at her, unable to look away. She just feels that she has fallen into the dust, embarrassed in front of the queen who is looking down at her.

She heard Jin Nu softly "Ah" by her side, very low and very low, suppressed in her throat, almost inaudible.

The Queen's gaze passed over them indifferently, and she greeted Princess Zhao herself: "The concubine is coming, and the concubine has missed a long way to welcome her."

"Hey, I don't love these pompous gifts of you. Now you are the lord of the first house. My old lady, I can't rely on you to pay me during the holidays." Zhao Taifei smiled and joked, while carrying the king. The queen's hand walked towards the temple.

Huang Zixia watched Princess Zhao and Queen Wang laugh at Yan Yan, and followed them to the Penglai Hall. On the foundation of the three-story white jade hall, inside the Zhumen, the concubine and the queen sat on it. The concubine looked at Wang Ruo closely, and talked with her inquiries, laughing with joy from time to time. Princess Qi Le stood beside them, with a gloomy face that was originally gratifying, but he didn't avoid going outside the hall. He just stood motionless, like a wooden person.

There are sorrows and joys in the temple, and a group of people outside the temple just don't know, and stand quietly outside. Huang Zixia and others were waiting outside because they were not close servants.

Huang Zixian stood outside the hall, looking at Jin Nu's face beside him, a drop of sweat slowly slipped from his face, and even the powder makeup was almost blurred. She quietly asked: "What's the matter?"

"I...it seems to be very hot." She said, her throat was a little hoarse.

Huang Zixian looked at the spring sun at this time, and felt that the water was coming slowly, and it seemed that it was not very hot, so she only took out her handkerchief and handed it to her. When Jin Nu took it, those hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Jin Nu wiped the cold sweat on her face. Seeing Huang Zixia's strange expression, she smiled forcibly, and said: "It's nothing...maybe my old problem. I...have a strange disease that happens from time to time. Go back and rest. Just a moment."

Huang Zixian nodded and looked up at the blue cloud sky above her head. In a daze, she heard Jin Nu murmur: "No... it won't be her..."

"Who?" she asked subconsciously.

"It should be, it looks more like..." Jin Nu consciously lost his words, and after a long pause, she asked with a trembling, "The one in the red dress must be... the queen?"

"Yeah." Huang Zixian replied in a low voice.

"So... the one behind her... is Princess Kui?"

Huang Zixia nodded again and looked at her seriously, wanting to see something on her face.

But Jin Nu's face was just a dazed and dazed expression. After a long time, she muttered in a low voice: "Impossible... If this is the case, how could Princess Kui be her..."

Huang Zixian keenly felt that there must be something inside, but Jinnu was just a Jiaofang Pipa girl who came to Beijing for the first time, so how could she understand this?

She was about to ask, when the female officer next to the queen inside came out and asked, "Which is Jinnu?"

"It's me..." Jin Nu hurriedly hugged Pipa and replied.

"The concubine summoned you." Yanling said, then glanced at Huang Zixian, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go in and serve the princess?"

Huang Zixian responded quickly, Jin Nu hesitated for a moment, and pulled Huang Zixian's hand. Huang Zixia felt cold sweat on her hands, weak and weak. Knowing that Jinnu was unable to hold Pipa, she helped her pick it up and took her hand into the hall.

After Jin Nu saluted, Huang Zi Xia put the pipa in her arms and handed the jade dial to her before walking towards Wang Ruo.

She saw Wang Ruo's face as pale as a broken flower, but her eyes were always on the ground, as if she did not dare to face anyone in front of her, including a small female pipa slave.

Huang Zixia sighed softly in her heart, and stood behind her blankly. Beside Princess Qi Le, she could clearly feel the gloomy aura emanating from Princess Qi Le, making her involuntarily turn her head and glance, only to see Princess Qi Le’s bitter eyes falling on Wang Ruo’s. On his body, it seemed that his gaze could be turned into a sharp blade, and Wang Ruo's sword lingered.

Seeing Huang Zixia looking at herself, Princess Qi Le didn't take her gaze back, but stared at her provocatively. Huang Zixia's righteous hatred made Huang Zixia really admire, and she had to look away.

Princess Zhao smiled at the Queen Queen and said: "This is a new pipa girl in the Jiaofang. No one can match her pipa skills in the world. King Zhao loves her pipa the most, saying that in time, she will become a national player."

"Really? Such a young person is a national player. Is there really an amazing art industry?" Queen Wang smiled, looking carelessly at Jin Nu who was sitting on the lower side.

Jin Nu hugged the pipa tightly, bowed slightly and lowered his head, and said, "Jin Nu dare not be. Jin Nu is not good at learning skills, no matter how strong it is, she can't be better than my master. Her elders are the real national players."

Only then did Queen Wang seem to be interested, and she glanced at her a few times, but did not ask. Princess Zhao smiled and asked, "Which sacred hand is your master?"

"Her old man is worshipped by a pipa in Yunshaoyuan, Yangzhou. The name is Mei Banzhi. I don't know if anyone here has heard her name? I am her only disciple."

Mei Wanzhi, Huang Zixia has never heard of this name, but when she heard the five words of Yangzhou Yunshaoyuan, she felt a slight movement in her heart, thinking of Chen Nianniang and Feng Yiniang, they also came from Yangzhou Yunshaoyuan—and this pipa female Jin slave , Actually came from Yunshaoyuan, this matter was a bit of a coincidence.

Everyone didn't react to this name. Only Princess Zhao seemed to like her very much, and smiled: "That must be your talent, so your master is blushing."

"Exactly, when I was five years old, my hometown was hit by floods. My parents took me to escape to the outskirts of Yangzhou. The family was dying of hunger, so they had to put a grass tag and sell me..." Jin Nu hugged Pipa, quietly Jing said, "At that time, my master happened to pass by. She occasionally pulled up the curtain on the oil wall cart and moved the curtain down. She saw my hand and called to stop. She came down and took my hand and took a closer look. Once, before looking at my face, he asked someone to take the money to my parents and bought me. My master said to me, Jinnu, your hands, you were born to play the pipa, and you were born with you. , Just for such a thing."

Everyone's eyes naturally fell on one of her hands. I saw a pair of white and well-proportioned hands with extremely long fingers. In a woman's hand, the palms of the fingers were slightly larger, but Jin Nu smiled and crossed the pipa in his arms, pressing the neck of the pipa with his left hand, and his right Strike the pipa string with jade.

At this moment, her hands no longer tremble suddenly, and her face also filled with a faint blush. With a move of her finger, the speed of plucking the strings makes it hard to see her hand. The sound of gurgling music poured out, like big beads and small beads falling into the hall, but the beads were like grains. The grains are very different, some are round, some are light, some are transparent, some are soft, thousands of feelings are surging in an instant, above the high platform, within the Huatang, the echo is faint, especially moving.
