Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 207 Poetry

In addition, Baoyu left the garden angrily, and never returned to the small courtyard of the Supreme Emperor. Instead, he took Mingyan directly out of Qingxu temple and went to Shangjing.Daiyu heard that Lin Haorui had started the martial arts competition, so she didn't stop for a long time, so she went back to the courtyard with Zijuan and Qingwen.

As soon as she got to the east building, she heard Tan Chun laughing and saying, "Sister Lin, come quickly, the emperor wants us to write poems." Daiyu smiled lightly, and saw that a long table had been set up in the center of the east building, on which were all the four treasures of the study.At this time, Sun Xueying was writing with her head down, and the handwriting in willow script looked extremely elegant.

Tanchun pulled Daiyu to sit on her table, and Daiyu saw that Baochai had also returned. Although her face was still pale, she was still in good spirits.Daiyu said: "Sister Bao, why didn't you take a break!" Baochai laughed and said, "The Supreme Emperor's biography is used to test our poems. How can I ask for a big rest. It's all right now, so don't worry about it." Daiyu suddenly said, But Yingchun has already held Daiyu's hand: "Sit down and watch this rhyme, you are the only one left."

Xichun also said: "Ours has already been presented to the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor said that among our sisters, Sister Bao's poems are the most outstanding. But the Concubine Gui thought that Sister Lin's father was famous as a flower hunter, and she kept saying that she wanted to read it. Elder Sister Lin's poem, otherwise the Supreme Emperor will reward Sister Bao with the lottery!" Daiyu glanced at Baochai and said with a smile, "Oh, what kind of lottery is it?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "It's a jade pendant. It is said to be made from the remnants of the royal heirloom jade. It is a thousand-year-old warm jade. If it can be worn for a long time, it will prolong life." Daiyu nodded slightly, but it was true. I don't care much.

Wang Xifeng and Grandma Sun also came over at this time: "Sister Lin, have you read the question before, and you can write it within a stick of incense. The third prince has already started over there, and my sister should do it as soon as possible!" Daiyu said Looking down at the paper on the table, he chuckled lightly: "Take flowers as the topic, let's just do this topic, brother, how can those men do it?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "You think too much. Write quickly!" Daiyu thought for a while, then walked to the desk in the middle, picked up the pen, and finished it in one fell swoop.Grandma Sun said with a smile: "Miss Lin really has a quick mind, we really saw it today. Dry it quickly and present it to the Supreme Emperor for a preview!"

The noble concubine heard the movement, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin has finished writing, please show me quickly!" As soon as she finished speaking, a female official came out quickly behind her, coming this way.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was reading the poems handed in by Tian You.With a faint smile: "There is some truth to it. In my opinion, it can be compared with Hao Rui's." In a blink of an eye, the girl presented Daiyu's poems.Seeing that the hairpin flower script on the paper was written very well, she smiled and said, "As expected of a daughter of a scholarly family, this handwriting alone has already surpassed everyone."

The noble concubine held the hand of the Supreme Emperor and whispered softly: "Half-rolled Xiang curtain and half-closed the door, crushed ice to make soil and jade into pots. The stolen pear pistils are three-point white. Borrow a plum blossom for a ray of soul. The fairy in the Moon Cave slits Onyx sleeves, the autumn maiden resents the girl to wipe the traces of her cry. She is shy and silently complains to someone, tired of leaning on the west wind and fainting at night."

The Taishanghuang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and the noble concubine had already smiled and said: "It's really beautiful, it's hard for Miss Lin to come up with such a quaint sentence in such a short time. The Taishanghuang. The concubine thinks that this name is not good. Miss Lin is the only one!"

The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "What Aifei said is true!" Then he said to Tianyou and Chechen: "Thanks to you, you think highly of yourself every day. Today you can see that even these boudoir girls are no worse than you. If you can repay The country is not inferior to you, what you have is just the advantage of being a man!"

Tianyou said with a smile: "What the emperor said is true, but the matter of composing poems and lyrics. You are really embarrassing. He can write a good handwriting. It is already embarrassing him." The Supreme Emperor laughed: "Yes , Chechen didn't work hard either. I remember that your mother's poems are really good!"

Chechen glanced at Tianyou, and said: "Going back to my grandfather, Chechen believes that a good man has ambitions in all directions and handles major national affairs, so he doesn't need poetry and songs, so he seldom gets involved. I will not lose to anyone here."

Tianyou snorted disdainfully, but did not speak.The imperial concubine smiled and said: "The emperor, according to my concubine, the girl whom the son of Che Chen likes is probably a bold woman. If she is a delicate person like our Miss Lin, I'm afraid Miss Lin To write a poem, to read a word, Che Chen will be confused."

Originally, Mother Jia had been listening with a smile on her face, and felt that Daiyu had given her a lot of face among so many female relatives.Unexpectedly, the Concubine Gui suddenly brought up this topic, thinking that her own daughter was sent against him in the same way that day, she hurriedly interrupted: "The Concubine Gui really flattered her, but she is just a child's play, not on the stage!"

The Concubine Gui smiled and said: "The old matriarch is too modest, I remember that Miss Min also wrote a good poem that day, and she won the first prize in the test questions given by Mr. Lin, which made Mr. Lin very surprised. When Ben Gong sent someone to negotiate peace, Mr. Lin was overjoyed!"

Jia's mother was brought up by the noble concubine again, although she was not happy.But she didn't show it at all on the face: "Thank you for your matchmaking back then!" The imperial concubine laughed and said, "I see that Miss Lin has the demeanor of her mother today, and she will definitely be able to match a Tanhualang in the future! "

Mother Jia narrowed her eyes slightly, and she knew that the noble concubine might have plans.It seems that the Sun family is already planning to win over the Lin family?He even thought of the trick of marriage.

But what is unexpected is that the Supreme Emperor did not agree with the Concubine Gui, and said with a smile: "You are talking nonsense again, how can poetry be an important thing for a husband and wife to live together. Besides, I am afraid that Miss Lin's marriage has long been planned by Hao Rui, isn't it? You can mix whatever you want!"

As he said that, the Supreme Emperor looked at Lin Haorui in the west building: "Haorui, are you right?" Lin Haorui stood up calmly and said loudly: "Go back to the Supreme Emperor, yes. If you want to marry my sister, It has to be real.”

The Supreme Emperor was amused by Lin Haorui's words, and smiled at the Concubine Gui: "Look, I heard from Lao Qi that day that our Champion Marquis asked him for a favor, saying that he would choose his son-in-law by himself, and that he would not accept the emperor's favor." And my sudden gift of marriage. Even if you want to give a marriage, you have to go through his elder brother's approval. I was so angry at the time, is there a bit of courtesy for a monarch and minister, and I still feel that this child is rare and sincere when I gave birth to the seventh child. Joyfully, I agreed. I also specially sent someone to only know me!"

The Concubine Gui smiled lightly, and said regrettably: "That's such a pity, originally the concubine said she was visiting a family for Miss Lin, it seems that now he can only go to Champion Hou to accept the test. "

As soon as the concubine's voice fell, Lin Haorui raised her eyebrows, and said loudly: "Thank you, empress dowager, for being considerate of my sister-in-law's heart. See you in the future, and I will definitely take the school exam!" Tianyou and Chechen smiled slightly at the same time. He narrowed his eyes, wondering what the imperial concubine's plan was.No, to be precise, it was some idea of ​​the Supreme Emperor.

The Concubine Gui smiled and said, "Hey, hearing what the Champion said, why does this Palace think that there is probably no result." The Supreme Emperor smiled and said, "Haorui is a dragon and phoenix among people. I wanted to promise Changping to him that day. But, who knows that the emperor agreed to the Teng family's marriage early. How confused, the Teng family is so reckless, even if they are related to the Yang family, how can they be worthy of the champion of our Daqi!"

Daiyu had kept her head down, listening to everyone discussing her affairs, thinking whether to sneak out first to avoid embarrassment.Unexpectedly, the Taishanghuang suddenly said something surprising, and he couldn't help raising his head in shock.I saw that my elder brother was not surprised at all, and smiled lightly: "The Supreme Emperor loves the wrong thing, and the minister has accepted it." The Supreme Emperor shook his head slightly, as if he couldn't bear it.

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Let's not talk about such a bad thing, the Supreme Emperor should give the lottery to Miss Lin! Also let the concubine see what Miss Lin looks like now. The concubine remembers vaguely, how many times When I saw her at Fahua Temple a few years ago, she already looked like a little beauty."

The Supreme Emperor smiled, and said to the female officer behind him: "Go and welcome Miss Lin!" Zijuan and Qingwen had already started to arrange Daiyu's clothes at this time, and Wang Xifeng held Daiyu's hand: "Don't be nervous for a while, the Supreme Emperor is very kind. .”

Daiyu nodded: "Sister Feng, don't worry, I'll save it." Then she shook Wang Xifeng's hand, and then followed the female officer to the main building.Baochai looked at Daiyu's leaving back, and a certain emotion flashed in his eyes, which was so fast that people couldn't catch it.

Daiyu walked slowly to the main building under the watchful eyes of everyone, and everyone took a good look at Daiyu's appearance.There are those who secretly praise, and those who secretly feel bitter.Lin Haorui clenched his fists tightly, knowing that he had to hurry up about his younger sister's marriage. Daiyu's appearance today, it would be half a month before she would be remembered by all the noble women and matchmakers in Beijing. At that time, I don't know how much I can resist .

He couldn't help but looked at Tianyou, and seeing Tianyou also looked very dangerous, he couldn't help sighing, as if he still couldn't make up his mind.

Daiyu slowly went up to the main building, bowing gracefully: "Daiyu pays homage to the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager! Long live the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager, and the empress dowager!" The Dowager laughed and said, "Quick! Get up, come to Ben Gong, let me have a look!"

Daiyu got up gently, and walked slowly to the side of the Grand Concubine.The imperial concubine took Daiyu's hand, looked left and right, and smiled at the Supreme Emperor: "She is really a good girl. The concubine has always said that the girl of our Sun family is that person. Today, I saw Miss Lin. , I think those girls are nothing more than wild girls in the countryside, they are not attractive at all!"

Daiyu lowered her head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty the Concubine has won the prize!" The jade was the size of a thumb, Daiyu saw that the jade was crystal clear, and it was somewhat similar to the piece that Tianyou gave her.The Concubine Gui smiled and said: "Don't underestimate this piece of jade, it is extracted from the scraps of Baiyu, the family heirloom of our Qi family. It is very precious, and I hope Miss Lin will keep it well."

Daiyu knelt on the ground and took it with both hands. As soon as she got the jade in her hand, Daiyu felt that it was even more similar to the one given by Tianyou, and she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart.
