It was a rare good weather. In the Zheng Mansion in Luoyang, the little girl crept in and half-opened the carved window sash in the room, making preparations for her master to get up.
As the window sash opened, a few rays of naughty warm winter sunshine rushed in. After passing over the pots of flowers and the exquisite dressing table, they finally landed on the couch and on that extremely bright and pretty face. .
After blinking her long eyelashes several times, Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes. As soon as she saw the sun, she was suddenly embraced by the quilt before she was fully awake. When she was about to stay and put on her embroidered satin shoes, she suddenly realized that she was sleeping at home. This was not the palace, but here. There is no endless business to take care of, and there is no need for her to get up as early as she did in the past sixteen years.
After these thoughts came to her mind, an indescribable feeling of relief rushed out from all parts of her body. At the same time, it seemed that the fatigue accumulated for decades also emerged from all parts of her body. She yawned for a long time and then He fell back into Wenxiang's brocade quilt.
??It was clear that she still wanted to sleep for a while, but after she actually fell down, she couldn't fall asleep again. Wrapped in a laziness and comfort that she had never truly experienced in her life, at this moment, Shangguan Wan'er didn't want to move. She just wanted to lie there lazily, letting the bright winter sun caress her face.
It¡¯s so good to be able to come out of the palace, so good!
Although she still has to serve as the chief female official in Princess Yuning's Mansion, for her who is experienced in affairs and has been in charge of the inner palace for many years, it is so easy to manage a newly established Princess Mansion. It is so easy that she hardly needs to spend any time. What's on your mind. The few clues that come to hand are enough to keep Princess Yuning's house in order.
So she had a lot of free time that she had never had before, and even thinking about it was a luxury. So she began to tend the pots of her favorite flowers herself, and even raised a blue-eyed Persian cat that ran like a ball of string rolling all over the floor.
And among all the arrangements for free time, what she likes most is that she can finally return to her home every night. Have a restful and restful sleep.
You can even lie lazily on the couch and let your thoughts wander freely, letting the warm sunshine caress your face. Just like today, just like this moment!
Others entered the palace as deep as the sea, but she entered the palace as a baby. In the blink of an eye, she was already thirty years old. For thirty years, she learned to speak in the cold palace of Yeting and struggled to survive. When she grew up a little, she became a fourteen-year-old girl. When he was young, he was by Wu Zetian's side. This companion lasted for sixteen years. In the past thirty years, although she had imagined it many times in the dark nights, she had never lived a day like an ordinary person's life.
It all ended a few days ago. Just like a golden bird finally freed from its cage, Shangguan Wan'er's mood and feelings at this moment were too complicated. There are too many and too deep, and they are no longer enough for outsiders to understand.
But one thing is certain, her attitude towards the current life is just like her smile bathed in the sunshine at this moment, she is very satisfied and comfortable.
The growth of floating life makes people hate the lack of entertainment. Kenai Qianjin smiled lightly. This is the life a person and a woman should have!
After her relaxed and lazy smile bloomed like a lotus in the warm winter sun for a long time, Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes again with her whole body balled up in the brocade quilt.
It¡¯s time to get up. Yesterday afternoon, that little scoundrel Karamatsu sent someone to deliver the message. Let her stay at home today and not go anywhere, and I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with him? If it's really an emergency. Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon, right?
After getting up from the couch, Shangguan Wan'er did not wash herself directly. Instead we went to the side room next door.
Because the ground fire dragon had been lit early, the side room was as warm as spring without the chill of winter. There was a Lu Feng bath in the middle of the house, but the water in it was not transparent, but greasy white in color. Make piping hot milk.
Although Lu Fengnei did not use the dried flowers that were indispensable for the bathing of dignitaries at that time, the breast-deep milk alone showed the luxury of Shangguan Wan'er's life.
In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to tea and wine, the two popular beverages in the world, there were also obvious differences in the beverages of different families. The most powerful families often have deer gardens in their manor, so that the owner can draw the freshest blood from the deer's forehead for drinking and nourishing. This was the "red jade" that Wu Ze used when she was tired and tired before she was born; the lower families often drank milk; the lower families drank soy milk every day; and the poorest people could only drink water.
At that time, although milk was not as precious as ruby, it was not something that ordinary people could use regularly. It is not easy for ordinary people to drink a cup, but Shangguan Wan'er uses it for bathing, which is really a waste of natural resources. And this is one of the imprints left on her by her sixteen years in the inner palace.
After gently undressing Luo Shang and stepping into Lu Feng, she lowered her body. Shangguan Wan'er let the hot milk caress her breasts.skin.
Because she was going to meet that little scoundrel later, Shangguan Wan'er didn't soak in it for too long. After about two sticks of incense, he stood up from Lu Feng and walked straight to a river-centred mirror not far away that was as high as anyone's.
The best cast mirrors in the Tang Dynasty were produced in Yangzhou. The best cast mirrors in Yangzhou are none other than the Jiangxin Mirror, also known as the "Hundred Refining Mirrors". This mirror was cast in the Yangtze River on May 5th. It is easy to break but difficult to make. The best quality often has Self-singer.
¡°The Jiangxin Mirror in Shangguan Wan¡¯er¡¯s room has such a large regulation, and it has become a masterpiece among Yangzhou¡¯s Jiangxin mirrors. Its value is enough to equal the total tax revenue of Yizhong County in a year.
The tall Jiangxin Mirror lives up to its reputation as a masterpiece. Shangguan Wan'er's skin in the mirror is as white as jade, delicate and tight. When her body moves slightly, there seems to be a halo of smooth and moist skin between the changing curves. This is truly a stunningly beautiful female body. Even the bronze mirror suddenly emits a long self-sounding sound while the person in the mirror shows a satisfied smile.
After putting on her clothes and washing up, Shangguan Wan'er sat in front of the dressing table. The dressing girl who had been trained by the inner palace for many years stood behind her and asked softly: "How do you dress up today?"
In the past, when she stayed in the palace for a long time, in order to avoid hurting the eyes of the aging Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er's makeup, although very exquisite, would inevitably make her look old-fashioned. But today she no longer has to worry about these things, "Just follow the rules."
Her hair was combed into a happy bun, with a thin layer of turmeric oil on her dark temples. After lightly applying a layer of Longxiao powder on her face, the chief dressing girl of the Zheng Mansion showed off her full skills with an eyebrow pencil in hand.
The most popular way to draw eyebrows is to draw smoke, and put a little diamond-shaped flower between the eyebrows. After applying a thin layer of blush, turn your lips into a soft Wuxiang style.
When the dressing girl took the jade hairpin and put it on Shangguan Wan'er's hair, she completed the entire makeup. When she looked in the mirror to take a closer look at the makeup effect, even she was amazed by the stunning beauty displayed by the person in the mirror at this moment, and she was a little stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses and wanted to say something complimentary, she realized that she had read so little that she couldn't find the right words to describe Shangguan Wan'er's beauty. Not to mention a compliment?
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shangguan Wan'er was also very satisfied, especially when she thought about how the little scoundrel who was about to come would see her like this, a smile naturally appeared on her lips. Somehow. A poem I read somewhere came to mind:
?Cicada's temples are combed carefully, and her eyebrows are swept carefully. The demeanor is perfect, do you think it's good?
Thinking of this poem, looking at myself in the mirror with a glowing face, I thought of that little scoundrel again. At some point, the smile on Shangguan Wan'er's lips disappeared. Just at this moment, there was a faint sound of drum beating outside the window, just listen to the rhythm. It was clear that it was someone who was going to deliver the marriage certificate to the girl's family.
A daughter from one family is the bride, and daughters from ten families are looking in the mirror. Bronze drums beat in the streets. All I want is Lang!
The sound of the bronze drum outside the window was like beating on Shangguan Wan'er's heart, shattering all her good mood since she got up in the morning. The fight brought up the deep regret that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart.
She was young when she was young, and like countless girls who were in love, she spent many nights imagining that one day she would meet a man of her dreams, and she would step onto a float wearing an auspicious costume amidst the festive sound of bronze drums. Enter the bridal chamber. Then the husband personally lifted her red hijab with a silver pick, and the couple drank together and tied the knot, creating a happy wedding ceremony and a beautiful marriage that only mandarin ducks would envy, not immortals.
This is the most common dream, but for Shangguan Wan'er, it has become an unattainable luxury.
God¡¯s mercy allowed her to finally meet the little scoundrel in the lonely palace, and finally transformed into a lover.
God¡¯s mercy allowed her to escape from the deep palace and return home without tabooing marriage.
But God's will plays a trick on people. He was too young when they met, but she was too old.
After thirty years of experience in the palace, Shangguan Wan'er is not afraid of all the difficulties and obstacles in this world, but in the face of ruthless time, she has no power to fight back. In the end, she can only blame and pity herself.
There is an age gap of nearly ten years between the older girl and the younger boy. This is an unbridgeable gap. Just a brief thought can instantly annihilate all Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful yearning for the red wedding dress. She knew deeply that she would never be able to hear in her lifetime, "Tonight is auspicious, Shangguan's daughter will marry the Tang family's son, and after her wish is fulfilled, she will live forever and protect the good fortune. Five men and two women, slaves and maids. The man always wishes. As the prime minister, the daughter will be married to the prince. From now on, the couple's life span will be extended."
The sound of drums coming from outside the window seemed to be getting closer and closer, but the more clearly she heard it, the more Shangguan Wan'er felt that her heart was turned upside down and her heart was broken.
I was not born before you were born, but you were already old when you were born. I hate that you were born late, and you hate that I was born early.
I??You were not born, but I was already old when you were born. I feel like I'm at the end of the world, and you feel like you're far away from the sea.
I was not born before you were born, but you were already old when you were born. It turns into a butterfly to look for flowers, and roosts on fragrant grass every night.
"Close the window." Just when Shangguan Wan'er could no longer bear to listen to the festive drums, a burst of rapid and messy footsteps suddenly came. A moment later, the old and mature butler of the Zheng Mansion completely forgot about etiquette. The obedient one broke in and said over and over again: "I'm so happy, Miss, I'm so happy. The Marquis of Xiangyang County has come to deliver the intermarriage certificate."
What! Shangguan Wan'er stood up suddenly.
Isn¡¯t the founding lord of Xiangyang County the title of that little scoundrel? He is here to deliver the intermarriage certificate!
In an instant, all Shangguan Wan'er's self-pity, self-sorrow and self-pity were swept away, and her mind went blank.
"The Marquis of Xiangyang invited Yao Chong, Yao Yuanzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of War, and Song Jing, Song Guangping, a member of the Provincial School under his command, as chief and deputy envoys to deliver the gift letter containing the marriage certificate. Now the ceremonial and music procession of the Marquis's Mansion has almost arrived at the gate. Here The Marquis of Xiangyang didn't say hello before. The old lady doesn't know whether to accept this gift letter or not, so she came here to ask the lady for an idea."
Shangguan Wan'er stood blankly, as if her heart was flying to nowhere.
Time was so urgent that the housekeeper didn't care anymore. He woke up Shangguan Wan'er loudly and asked the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion whether he should accept the gift letter containing the intermarriage document.
"Since God is merciful, I will never let you down, take it!" The moment Shangguan Wan'er uttered these words categorically, her face suddenly glowed with a radiant glow that even the most precious balsam and gouache in the world could not create. At this moment, she seemed to She walked into the dream that she had imagined countless times. In the dream, she was incomparably beautiful and youthful.
A daughter from one family is the bride, and daughters from ten families are looking in the mirror. The sound of drums beating on the street reminds me of the man in my heart!
The sound of the bronze drum is getting closer and closer
