After hearing that Nanyang had entered the palace, Emperor Dongyuan's bad mood improved slightly.
Emperor Dongyuan had many children, including nineteen sons of Xu Chi alone, and sixteen daughters who were over twelve years old. As soon as he has more children, he will naturally differentiate between the rich and the poor in his mind. Not to mention his sons; among his daughters, Changsha and Nanyang were his favorites and favorites. Changsha's temperament is a bit stubborn. As long as it is something she is sure of, even ten cows can't pull it back; this is very like him. Nanyang is good at calligraphy. When father and daughter are together, they always have endless topics to talk about in calligraphy. However, in the past, he spent most of the time giving guidance to Nanyang on calligraphy skills. Now the situation is exactly reversed. Nanyang, who is more talented than blue and greener than blue, now often gives him guidance in turn; this is He may not be able to accept a little teaching for a while. But from the bottom of his heart, he was very pleased and happy about the changes in Nanyang. Especially when he thought of all the absurdities she had done in the past few years, Nanyang now made him even more satisfied - such Nanyang is his good daughter, Chen Hao!
He asked: "Why didn't she come?"
"Princess Nanyang came here once at the end of the Shen Dynasty. I heard that you were working hard on government affairs, so I told you to come and see me tomorrow."
"what about now?"
"It should still be in the Qiongfang Palace of Empress De Fei." Feng Shiyi glanced at Emperor Dongyuan's face and said cautiously. Before Princess Nanyang left, she secretly gave him five taels of gold. Her intention was not to ask Zi Xiao, but of course it was to teach him how to name "De Fei" and "Qiongfang Palace".
"Huh?" Emperor Dongyuan frowned slightly. He loved his two daughters, Nanyang and Changsha, but had little affection for their biological mother, Concubine De. Concubine De gave him a son and three daughters, but she was never promoted to a noble concubine. Wei Shi had nothing to do with his cold attitude. He asked, "Concubine De, what happened to her?"
"I heard two days ago that Concubine De was sick again."
"She just recovered from her illness, why did she get sick again?" Emperor Dongyuan said impatiently. This Concubine De is simply a medicine pot. She spends half of her three hundred and sixty days a year on soups and medicines! But Nanyang is a good girl. When she heard that her mother was ill, she rushed back in a hurry. This kind of filial piety is rare! He held the tea cup and thought for a while, then said, "Send someone to send a message, and I will go over to see her." Then he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, there is no need to send someone to send a message"
Feng Shiyi was a little confused when he heard this, wondering whether Emperor Dongyuan was going to Qiongfang Palace or not. Emperor Dongyuan had already stood up and said "Go to Qiongfang Palace" before taking steps forward. . He quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful of the cold autumn night!" He ordered a small school gatekeeper to quickly get the cloak, and he followed with two people.
By the time Emperor Dongyuan walked along the path along the palace wall, along the main inner halls such as Yuzhen Hall, Yuhua Hall, and Xiliang Hall, all the way to Qiongfang Hall, the sky was already dark. This small palace is located in a remote place, and Concubine De is not a legitimate concubine. The emperor may not come here even once in a year and a half, so it is closed and locked early every day. A small school gatekeeper runs up to call. After waiting for a long time, some voices came from behind the door. A woman of considerable age asked angrily: "Who is it?"
Before the small school gate could open its mouth, Feng Shiyi rushed over and said, "I'm Feng Shiyi! I have something urgent to do to see Empress Dowager De, please open the door and let me in."
The door creaked twice, leaving a small crack. The woman inside the door lay on the crack and looked carefully, then suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it's really Mr. Eleven! Wait a moment, I'm Open the door for you! Open the door right now!" He immediately hurriedly took the key to open the copper lock.
The door had just been half opened when Emperor Dongyuan walked in. When the palace maid saw that Feng Shiyi was standing there without moving his legs, while the man in a long gown was ahead of him, she looked a little panicked. She opened her mouth to scold her, but Feng Shiyi took a step forward and pushed the palace lady aside. He came closer and lowered his voice to warn her: "Shut up! This is the emperor's blessing! Dare to speak out. I'll fill you into the Jinbo Pond!" The palace lady didn't know whether she was shocked by the news of Emperor Dongyuan's sudden arrival or by Feng Shiyi's words. She raised her eyes and screamed, looking at Dongyuan. Emperor Yuan's back and Feng Shiyi's ferocious face kept looking back and forth
Seeing that Emperor Dongyuan not only did not blame Feng Shiyi, but also seemed to have some approval. Of course, the few junior school disciples who followed him followed suit. They ran ahead and greeted all the maids and palace maids he bumped into along the way. Warning, after a while, even the maids serving outside the Xiang Pavilion where Concubine De lived knew the news of the emperor's arrival. They all lowered their foreheads and held their breaths, not daring to say anything or move again.
Emperor Dongyuan entered the Xiang Pavilion. Through the fine gauze curtain to prevent mosquitoes, he could vaguely see two people sitting on the bed inside. I heard Concubine De coughing and laughing, and then she heardNanyang's voice: "Don't believe it, mother, this is the way it should be explained."
"I don't believe it. You must have made it up to make me happy." Concubine De gasped and said, "What kind of talent is Dr. Sanlu? How could he write such a crude poem?" He couldn't help but laugh again.
This sentence immediately aroused Emperor Dongyuan's curiosity. He really couldn't think of any article by Qu Yuan, who had magnificent writing and magnificent writing, that could be rated as "crude". He couldn't help but said out loud: "I don't believe it either!" He kept talking and was minding his own business. He raised the curtain and walked in.
The Nanyang mother and daughter were chatting away at home, and no one expected that he would come here without saying a word. The two of them looked at each other in shock for a long time. Nanyang reacted quickly and hurriedly jumped off the bed, calling for chairs to be moved, tea, soup and snacks. Concubine De, who was half leaning and half sitting, was surprised and happy at the same time. Two strange crimson masses danced on her pale cheeks, and she struggled to get up to pay tribute to Emperor Dongyuan. I don't know if it was the tender scene of mother and daughter hugging each other and talking in a brocade fur that touched Emperor Dongyuan, or maybe it was because he saw Nanyang holding Concubine De in his arms and warming his mother's feet. Turning a blind eye to the big chair that was brought to him, he first held Concubine De's arm and let her lie down again. Then he sat down beside the bed and said softly to Concubine De, "I just heard that you were sick, so I came here to take a look. . Why are you so careless?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to put both of Concubine De's arms back into the brocade fur, and helped her tuck in the corners of the quilt that had come loose. "Your body is weak and your energy is weak. It's an old problem. Spring and autumn alternate with cold and heat. It's the time when you need to be most careful. If you feel it's cold at night, you can have someone burn the earth dragon first." After saying that, he turned around without hesitation. Who was it? Directly ordered, "Tomorrow you go and tell Ouchi Yuji that the Qiongfang Palace of Tokubi can burn earth dragons in winter, spring and autumn, and the charcoal should not be stopped. Another one, let them find a few capable people The imperial doctor has come to treat Concubine De. If you dare to be perfunctory and delay the condition" He originally wanted to say, "The imperial family has its own way of punishing crimes." Suddenly, he remembered what Feng Shiyi said just now, and he changed his mind and said, " Send them all to fill the Jinbo Pond!"
His words were a bit abrupt, and his tone was unnatural. Of course, they couldn't be compared with Feng Shiyi's murderous threat; but Feng Shiyi couldn't be compared with him. Therefore, as soon as these words were spoken, the ground inside and outside the Xiang Pavilion suddenly became so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Concubine De had never been cared for by him so tenderly, and she was already trembling with excitement. She was not from a high family like Wang Gu, Zhang, Deng, Song, Li and Zhao. Naturally, she received a lot of looks and cold treatment in the most snobbish palace in the world. Although she gave birth to Nanyang and Changsha, The daughter cannot enter the Chen family genealogy. The two daughters are loved by Emperor Dongyuan, but her status has not changed. She finally hoped for a son, but she is as honest as a fool, which is even more ridiculed by others. She is not favored by Emperor Dongyuan, so her treatment in the palace is not much better. The food and clothing are customized by the palace. Others cannot be short-changed, but basically it is what is left after others have picked it out. Even The palace maids around her were all like this; even this Qiongfang Palace was pointed out to her because other concubines disliked the remoteness of the place When Emperor Dongyuan said, "If you dare to be perfunctory, fill in the Jinbo Pond", she finally took control Unable to control his emotions, the tears that had been rolling in his eyes suddenly burst out. If she hadn't reminded herself over and over again in her heart that she must not express her sorrow in front of the emperor, she would have really wanted to cry bitterly
"Don't cry, don't cry." Emperor Dongyuan gently patted Concubine De's thin shoulder. He also felt uncomfortable looking at Concubine De, who was so sad that she couldn't control herself. In an instant, countless unsatisfactory things over the years all came to his mind. The prince passed away, the two sons fought for the heir, the imperial power declined, the power of the prime minister increased, the clan resigned, and the civil servants stepped forward Suddenly, he didn't know what happened that touched his heartstrings, and there was a sparkle in his eyes. bright light. He choked up and swallowed his breath to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just let out a long sigh.
Concubine De wiped her tears and said with a forced smile: "I am crying. I suddenly saw the Holy Master, and I couldn't be happier"
Nanyang took the tea soup sent by the palace maid, held it in both hands and offered it to his father, saying: "Father, my mother is right. She misses you so much, that's why she got carried away."
Nanyang's ladder was set up just right. Emperor Dongyuan took the tea soup and took a few sips, then put it on the low table beside the bed. He first "taught" Nanyang and said: "Your mother is really showing her true temperament. How can you say that she is?" 'Getting carried away'? It's in vain that you are also a person who 'talks and laughs with great scholars but no white men'. How can you say such ignorant words?" He added, "When I came in just now, I heard you mother and daughter talking about Qu Zi's poems. Fu, which article are you talking about?"
"I'm explaining Tianwen to my mother," Nanyang said.
"""Tianwen"? " Emperor Dongyuan's eyes flickered. He asked himself that what he had learned was not inferior to those who wrote the article, but when it came to "Tianwen", he could only accept the defeat - he could only understand two or three of this poem. But in front of his daughter and wife, the majesty of a father and husband must be maintained. He pondered and asked, "This article is the strangest and most difficult of Qu Zi's articles. 11. Why did you laugh just now? "
"When I said, 'Kunlun County Garden, the temple is here,' my mother said I was talking nonsense."
"That's the sentence. I remember that since the Han Dynasty, many people have researched the works and thought that this sentence may have errors or omissions, or was forged by later generations?" Emperor Dongyuan said with some curiosity, "Why, do you think the judgment of the predecessors mistaken?"
"There is a mistake. This sentence must be Qu Zi's original text."
"Then, what should be the explanation?"
"'Kunlun County Garden, its temples are in place', the word 'county' is connected with the word 'hanging', because this place is located in the Kunlun Mountains and is hanging in the air, so it is called 'Kunlun Xingpu'. This sentence The meaning of the poem is: We all know that Kunlun County Garden is right above our heads. In this way, we should be able to see it as soon as we raise our heads. But the question is, when we raise our heads, who can see it? Where is your ass?"
Emperor Dongyuan was drinking water from a cup. Hearing what Nanyang said, he couldn't hold back at that time. A mouthful of tea soup spurted out to the ground, and he choked on the tea soup and coughed. If Nanyang had expected it and came over to grab the tea cup, he might have poured most of the tea soup on him. Emperor Dongyuan clapped his thighs and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up. He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Crude! Vulgar! I can't believe that Qu Zi could write such an article! Hahaha"
