Another day passed in a trance, Bai Zhi saw that Zhaoyun was not only lazy, but also always had sadness on his face, and he didn't even eat a few bites of food, so he said that he had no appetite and stopped eating. Bai Zhi was anxious, and a few words of persuasion were to no avail, and in the blink of an eye, night fell, but Qiaoxiang Jieyu and Liu Zhaoyi came to Ninghuan Hall as guests. Bai Zhi thought to herself: Xiang Jieyu and Liu Zhaoyi have always been good friends with the little master, and they have some knowledge, I think they will be able to persuade the little master with clever words when they see the little master like this, so that the little master will be more comfortable. Thinking about it like this, Bai Zhi is also a little relieved.

The two entered the hall, and although Zhaoyun was in a depressed mood, he had to force a smile and said, "The two sisters are here, please take a seat." At the same time, he asked Bai Zhi to serve tea quickly.

Xiang Jieyu said with a smile: "There is nothing to do at night, I am also sullen in the house alone, and I knitted plum blossoms under the lamp for a while, and I felt that it was not interesting, so I came to disturb my sister with Sister Liu." ”

Zhaoyun smiled lightly: "Where is this, I am also panicking, but it just so happened that the two sisters came, and it happened that I was talking to the two sisters, and I could also relieve my boredom." ”

Liu Zhaoyi said with a smile: "When I came, I thought that my sister's chess skills were very good, and there was nothing to do left and right, so I wanted to play a game with my sister, and I won two out of three games, what did my sister think?" ”

Zhaoyun smiled lightly: "My sister has this Yaxing, and my sister should accompany her." ”

For a while, Bai Zhi stepped forward and put on the chessboard, Zhaoyun held the white son, Liu Zhaoyi held the black child, the two of them fell one after another, and halfway down, Liu Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Sister, do you have something on your mind, so careless, you don't even know that you are going to lose." ”

Zhaoyun smiled: "Where is there anything on my mind, it's that my sister's chess skills are not good, and she is not as good as my sister." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled faintly and said: "The authorities are confused, bystanders, please, whether my sister is serious about playing chess, my sister can see it." Speaking of this, Xiang Jieyu sighed leisurely: "Go is broad and profound, infinite mystery, in fact, it is the same as life, it is full of unpredictable changes, one wrong step, it can be reversed, if every step is wrong, then it will be difficult to return." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, his mind turned slightly, and he was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "That's it, I don't know how to do it today, I always have no energy, even if I play ten more games of chess, I still lose, but I have failed Sister Liu's hospitality." ”

Liu Zhaoyi said with a smile: "Even so, I don't force my sister anymore, my sister has no intention of playing chess, even if I win, it's not my real ability." After a pause, he said, "How about we guess the riddle?" ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled: "Guess the riddle, this is novel, but what kind of gameplay?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi smiled and said: "This is also simple, the three of us are all talented, each of us will tell an allusion to a certain woman in history, and the other two will guess who the pawn is, if there is something that can't be guessed, how about punishing her to drink three cups of bitter tea?" ”

Zhaoyun listened to the novelty and agreed to the matter. Liu Zhaoyi said: "Since I proposed, I will first come up with a riddle, the riddle is only four words, three pearls, and the two sisters can guess it." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled: "I guessed, what my sister said was Lu Zhu, the favorite concubine of Shi Song of the Western Jin Dynasty?" Liu Zhaoyi smiled: "My sister guessed well, it was the green bead." ”

Zhaoyun lamented: "Luzhu can be regarded as a strong woman, although her body is only worth three pearls in the eyes of others, but in order to keep the festival for Shi Song, she actually chose to fall from the building and commit suicide. ”

Liu Zhaoyi said: "Pity the injustice of God, throughout the ages, there are many fierce women who have a thin face. In order to make Xiang Yu have no worries, Yu Ji resolutely chose to draw her sword and kill herself; Liu Ru saw that the country was ruined and his family was ruined, so he threw himself into the water to martyr the country; Minchan is even more for the world, not hesitating to risk her life, sacrificing her loyalty, separating Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and finally causing Dong Zhuo's great harm to die at the hands of Lu Bu. ”

Xiang Jieyu said: "Compared with these fierce women, those so-called red faces who have brought disaster to the country and the people are actually demon girls. Yu Xi flattered the Xia Dynasty, causing the monarch of the Xia Dynasty to indulge in wine all day long, and the people did not care about the misery, and finally lost the country. Daji loved to hear the screams of the prisoners as they were subjected to cannon burning, and the Shang king used the heavy punishment to the detriment of the Shang dynasty. There is also King Zhou You's smile for Bo Gong, and the princes of the beacon fire play, causing the 800-year foundation of the Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed in a flash. ”

Hearing this, Zhaoyun pondered for a long time, took a sip of tea, and said: "These women are beautiful, but they are immoral and incompetent, and what makes people feel even more sad is that these kings are also mediocre and incompetent, do not listen to the advice of loyal ministers, and even kill loyal ministers, and even bewitched by the demon girl, abolish the virtuous queen, and replace the demon girl as the queen, such behavior will inevitably cause the disaster of the country." ”

Xiang Jieyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I am a saint to the emperor, the queen is virtuous, and there are some means, and the concubines in the harem are not pampered and arrogant, and they are flattering and disruptive to the people of the dynasty, otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable." Speaking of this, Xiang Jieyu seemed to think of something again, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly: "I suddenly thought of two lines of poetry, and I can also make a riddle." ”

Liu Zhaoyi said with a smile: "My sister said to listen to it, but we are all proficient in poetry and books, and it is difficult to think about it." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled faintly: "Inoue Xintao steals his complexion, and the tender willows on the eaves are light. ”

Zhaoyun and Liu Zhaoyi looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly, Liu Zhaoyi chuckled: "Why should the forest ask far away, it is famous for being outstanding and romantic." wrote such flamboyant and high-spirited poems, but I am afraid that people who do not know poetry and books can hardly imagine that the poet is the eldest grandson of Tang Taizong. ”

Zhaoyun said with a smile: "Exactly, the eldest grandson queen is virtuous, but I am afraid that few people know that the eldest grandson queen also has such a daughterly side." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled faintly and said: "Empress Changsun was also a beautiful person, when she married Taizong in her early years, Taizong was peaceful in the world, fighting in the south and the north, and Empress Changsun also set off with the army and took good care of Taizong. After Taizong ascended the throne, Empress Changsun practiced frugality in the palace, and was also very tolerant and obedient to the concubines in the harem, and was also very insightful in military affairs. Because of this, many people only remember the virtuous ability of the eldest grandson, but neglect her respect. ”

Liu Zhaoyi said with a smile: "Speaking of the eldest grandson queen, I think our queen also has the legacy of the eldest grandson queen. ”

Zhaoyun asked, "What did Sister Liu say about this?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi continued: "Not long after my sister entered the palace, and the queen was exempted from the false etiquette of setting the province every morning and dusk, she naturally didn't know much about the queen's character. The queen is the daughter of Wang Taiwei, her real name is dignified, she is as her name suggests, and her actions are also very dignified and gentle, and she is the most virtuous. The queen often flaunted herself as the eldest grandson, advocated frugality in the palace, and laid off a group of older palace maids, allowing them to return to their homes and marry early. Whenever the concubines in the palace have inappropriate words and deeds, they always try to be tolerant and teach, and often advise the emperor to reuse loyal ministers, listen to more advice, reduce taxes, and benefit the people. All the concubines in the harem paid tribute to the queen. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he unconsciously admired the queen in his heart, and asked softly: "I think the emperor must have a deep affection for the queen." ”

Xiang Jieyu said with a smile: "Our sisters say this in private, in all fairness, if you talk about grace, maybe Concubine Ping is more favored by the emperor, but if you say love, I'm afraid the emperor has only the queen in his heart." ”

Zhaoyun thought about it for a while, and stopped talking, Xiang Jieyu saw this and asked, "What does my sister want to say, why don't you say it?" When Zhaoyun asked, he had to say: "I wanted to ask my sister a long time ago, Concubine Ping doesn't seem to be very harmonious with me, I heard people say that Concubine Ping has always been like this, I have a little doubt, why does the emperor favor Concubine Ping?" ”

When Xiang Jieyu heard this, she blushed with shame, and only said: "I only complain that we know etiquette too well, and we are too constrained by etiquette." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he was still puzzled, Liu Zhaoyi glanced at the two of them and said, "They are all sisters, what is there to be ashamed of." After a pause, he said to Zhaoyun: "My sister is still young, and she has never experienced the affairs of men and women, so it is inevitable that she will not understand." Concubine Ping's background is not high, and she is not very proficient in poetry and books, so she also looks down on etiquette, righteousness and shame. I can hear that Concubine Ping is not shy when she goes to bed, and the matter of the bed is like ****. My sister should also understand that no matter how holy the emperor is, he is also a man in the end, if all the concubines are dignified and courteous, they will be much less interested, so although Concubine Ping is more sharp-tongued, but because she is very good at serving the emperor, the emperor does not care much, so she favors Concubine Ping more. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Even Shengming is like the emperor, and he prefers people like Concubine Ping, so what about secular men?
