Chapter 175 Deep Palace Like the Sea
"I heard that Haoyue was entertaining guests with Mei Yijun at that time..." Feng Junyang said, "Of course, Haoyue did not escape."
"The bright moon!" Liu Shi's tight heartstrings were broken, and she collapsed and shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I thought you would become the young master of Jinmei Villa, but I didn't expect you to die long ago. What else do I have?"
Feng Junyang was surprised. Liu Shisi cried crazily, attracting Mingzhu. Mingzhu quickly stepped up to hold Liu Shishi, who was trembling, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with my mother-in-law?"
"Haoyue is dead..." Liu Shisi stretched out his hands and danced around, "God, why did you punish me so much?"
Her appearance looked heartbroken, and Feng Junyang's heart gradually became clear. Could this Liu Shishi be the biological mother of Haoyue? Otherwise, she would not have been so painful when she heard the news of Haoyue's death.
"Ps-in-law, are you Haoyue's biological mother Mei Yixian?" Feng Junyang asked tentatively and went up to support her.
Liu Shi pushed Mingzhu away and Feng Junyang crazily, held her head in her hands, and tore her hair. Mingzhu came forward to stop her again. She threw her hard on the wall, and she couldn't get up in pain. Her eyes were blurred, and her mouth shouted Haoyue. Feng Junyang couldn't bear to see her self-harm and came forward to hold her dancing hands tightly. Liu Shi, the elegant and noble concubine just now, turned into a crazy woman in an instant.
"Mother-in-law, sit down and don't do this. More than 20 years have passed. Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this." Feng Junyang comforted him.
Liu Shishi stubbornly did not sit down, but quickly tore her famous coat open. In the surprised eyes of Ming and Feng Junyang, her clothes were torn off and thrown to the ground, revealing her bright and sexy back. On her back, there was a big blooming plum blossom!
She is indeed the Mei family! According to her age and her nervousness with Haoyue, she must have been selected to be a concubine in the palace, and finally escaped from the palace to give birth to Haoyue, and disappeared.
When the Mei family had a big fire, Haoyue was only 30 years old. Now it has been 21 years since the fire was put out. Time is like a white horse, and it has been 50 years in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect Mei Yixian to live here and maintain it like this. Compared with the decline and decay of Jinmei Villa, it's really sad.
"You are really Mei Yixian." Feng Junyang sighed, "God has eyes. There are still people in the Mei family. Mother-in-law, don't be sad. Everyone thinks that you committed suicide after giving birth to Haoyue, but you are still alive. They all say that the Mei family is dead, but the second lady chasing the moon is still alive. Maybe Haoyue is still alive, but you are not destined yet. Let's meet separately."
"This is the mark of the Mei family. Feng Junyang, you and I are the same descendants of the Mei family and have the same mark. In my dreams for decades, I dreamed of bright moons. When I left him, he was only one day. Yijun gave the name Haoyue. The night he gave birth to him, the bright moon was in the sky, as bright as snow. Yijun promised me to treat Haoyue well and give him all the Jinmei Villa and dungeon. Unexpectedly, Mei Yijun, you are still sorry for my sister after all!" Liu Shisi choked and said, "If you are separated forever today, where do you want me to settle accounts with you?"
Pearl helped Mei Yixian, put on the newly found clothes for her, then helped her sit down and handed her a cup of hot tea. Mei Yixian's hand was still trembling, and the porcelain cup fell to the ground and broke.
"Mother-in-law. I'll change another drink." Mingzhu said with some fear.
"No, Pearl. Sit down, aren't you interested in your mother-in-law's background and keep asking? Let your mother-in-law still talk, tell you two young people, otherwise if I can't breathe, my story will always be rotten in my stomach. Mei Yixian leaned against the chair, and her messy hair scattered casually on her white face. Feng Junyang found that she was suddenly ten years old.
"Am I ugly? My beauty technique was learned from the palace. One of the most important methods is not to be angry, not to move, not to be sad and happy. Every time I move the liver fire, I will suddenly grow old like a leaf in the autumn wind..." Mei Yixian muttered. She fiddled with the Guanyin stone she picked up and said with a wry smile, "This Guanyin stone At first, it was in me. When the Mei family came to my generation, there were only Mei Yijun and my two brothers and sisters. Mei Yijun got Jin Meiling, and I got Guanyin Stone..."
"How did my mother-in-law enter the palace?" Mingzhu asked cautiously, "Isn't my mother-in-law much more beautiful when she was young than she is now?" Otherwise, you won't be elected to the palace."
"Pearl knows how to coax me. Don't worry, you won't understand my sadness, so you don't have to comfort me. My mother-in-law will be fine. Feng Junyang said that Haoyue and I will meet again. If we are not alive, we will be in heaven. Mei Yixian said lightly, "I can't see it in this life, and there is an afterlife."
"When I entered the palace, now it is ten years of Tongzhi. Three years after I entered the palace, Tongzhi Emperor died." Mei Yixian sat on the chair, and the sun shone down from the roof and shone on her depressed face. Her voice was low and vicissitudes, and there was no sweet feeling just now. "At that time, I was indeed one of the best beauty in Baihua City, but because of the fame of Jinmei Villa, no matter how many admirers there were, no one dared to propose marriage. Ordinary people , can't enter the gate of Jinmei Villa, and some official eunuchs can't enter the eyes of my brother Mei Yijun without learning or skills. People are talking about that a woman like me is prepared for the royal family and will be elected to be the queen in the palace. My brother laughed it off at that time, and he didn't want me to enter the palace. Unexpectedly, I was really selected to the palace as a show girl later.
"My mother-in-law has such a good family background that she doesn't have to go to the palace!" Mingzhu said.
"Under the whole world, it is Wang Tu. No matter how good the family background is, no matter how big the official position is, it is no bigger than the emperor. At that time, it was Cixi who listened to the government and dominated the world. You can't help it." Mei Yixian recalled, "At that time, it was the young grandmother, that is, Wu Yazhu's father, who was an official in the court. In time for the draft, he came to find Yijun and said that he had run well. As long as I entered the palace, I would sit in the seat of a noble concubine. In the future, I must be the queen of the mother of the world. My brother, who had always opposed my entry into the palace, was moved. At that time, Jinmei Villa had some decline, and he wanted to use it to restore Jinmei Villa. Not only my brother, but also I was moved. Think about it, what an honor it is to choose on the side of the king. Not only do I live a glorious and rich life, my whole family will be glorious!"
"If it were me, I wouldn't go. I heard that there are many rules and etiquette in the palace, so why don't you suffuse people to death when you go there? Mingzhu pouted and said that she did not agree with Mei Yixian's statement.
"You just don't have a chance. If there is a chance to choose you to go to the palace now, aren't you happy? Mei Yixian said.
"Mother-in-law, there is no emperor now, and new forces have overthrown the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It is inevitable that my mother-in-law lives in seclusion here." Feng Junyang explained with a smile.
"There is no emperor?" Mei Yixian was shocked and said, "Is the Qing Dynasty over? Who is so good at it? It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. It has become like this outside, and there is no emperor.
"No more. Mother-in-law, tell me about your entry into the palace. Mingzhu shook Mei Yixian's hand and urged.
"After I entered the palace, I found that I was completely wrong. All the beautiful women are as beautiful as immortals, not to mention their * illustrious, and their backers in the court are also bigger than mine. I have become a grain of sand scattered in the sea. Besides, at that time, the Empress Dowager Ci'an proposed to take Alut, the daughter of Chongqi, as the queen, and the Empress Dowager Cixi advocated Fu Cai, the daughter of Fengxiu, as the queen. How could the queen choose us? I also dream of flying to the branches to be the queen. Mei Yixian said with a wry smile, "What a dream. In less than three days, I was tired of life in the palace and wanted to fly out of the imperial city and return to my hometown. But once you enter the deep palace, it is as deep as the sea, how can there be a way back?"
"Tongzhi is a puppet emperor, and he has only been in power for more than a year. He was controlled by Cixi and depressed. He often looked for flowers and willows outside. On the contrary, many prostitutes in the deep palace were not favored by him. I was one of them.
" Slowly, I was also frustrated. Looking at the intrigues of the women around me, I tried my best to climb to the dragon bed. I also wanted to die and go crazy. I also wanted to stay out of the matter, but I couldn't find anything I was interested in. I was depressed all day long. The good spring days were like the twelfth of winter.
"By chance, I met an old imperial doctor surnamed Pei. He brought me some medical books. From then on, I was crazy and infatuated with the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. I used all the time of those women to please the emperor on reading. Through Dr. Pei, I read all the collections of medicine in the palace." Mei Yixian said and sighed, "That's the day of selflessness, the quietest day of mine in the palace."
"In the third year, we hopeless actresses have been forgotten. And because I read medical books and had the guidance of Dr. Pei, I gradually became the 'special female doctor' of the concubines in the harem. They trusted me, relied on me, and talked about my medical skills. Instead, people forgot my true identity.
"I thought I would spend the rest of my life like this, but I didn't expect that the appearance of a person would completely disrupt my life." Mei Yixian's pale face was a little bloody. She entered the deep memory. From her face, it can be seen that this memory is wonderful.
"It was the autumn of the 12th year of Tongzhi. I came out of the queen's room. It was late and it was dark everywhere. I was also physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to go back to the room to rest as soon as possible. That night, I wore my embroidered light green cloak, which was elegant and chic. Now I remember how refined I was at that time, which is simply incomparable to some vulgar powder in the harem. Mei Yixian shook her head gently and indulged in the beautiful years of her youth.
