Chapter 204: The Man in Black
Seeing this, Shen Ya pursed her lips, and there was a hint of firmness in her eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly walked to the table.
A palace maid in a pink palace dress next to her began to sharpen ink for her.
Shen Ya rolled up her sleeves, picked up the wolf hair resting on the inkstone with her left hand, thought about it intently, and wrote on the paper with a pen:
"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. Feel free to rest in spring, and the kings and grandchildren can stay. β
In just a few moments, a poem leaps onto the page.
After Shen Ya finished writing, she put down her pen and said to Emperor Zhouzong: "Your Majesty, this is a poem that the courtiers occasionally got when they were in the people, and the courtiers felt that the artistic conception was very wonderful. Today, I will take it to enjoy it with everyone. β
"Hmm," Emperor Zhouzong nodded, "pick it up and show it to me." β
When Emperor Zhouzong's words fell, he saw two palace maids step forward, open the paper on the table, and put it up and present it to the emperor, the queen and the concubine in the palace.
"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream" is a good poem, a good artistic conception! When the queen saw Shen Ya's poems, she couldn't help but open her mouth in admiration, and her eyes were full of appreciation when she looked at Shen Ya. Poetry is good, and words are good. Lord Duan, your daughter, this palace looks very good. As he spoke, he smiled and nodded to Duanhou.
Duanhou was originally worried that Shen Ya's words were too ugly, which would make the saint unhappy. He was worried about this, but he didn't want that at this time, the queen mother actually praised Shen Yalai herself, which made him feel a little flattered. At the same time, I was also very confused.
He knew very well how his daughter could write. Why would the queen praise her words?
Just when the marquis was puzzled, Emperor Zhouzong's voice came faintly: "The artistic conception of the poem is really good. But..."Emperor Zhouzong's words changed suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Can you tell sΓΉ me, where did you get these two poems?" β
Shen Ya didn't expect Emperor Zhou Zong to suddenly change his face. Shocked. Is there anything wrong with this poem? Shen Ya knew that the ancient emperors were very taboo about some words, and because of this, there had been many incidents similar to the literal prison, right? This poem of hers violated Zhou Zong's taboo?
This is her favorite poem during her lifetime, and she originally wanted to use it to show off, but did she commit Emperor Zhouzong's taboo?
Shen Ya thought about it for a while, tried to calm herself, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, this poem was seen by the courtiers in a book. I liked it so much that I wrote it down. β
"In the book?" Emperor Zhouzong heard Shen Ya say this, and for some reason, his mind was a little flustered. There was a flash of confusion in his eyes, but he soon regained his clarity. The gaze that was originally staring at Shen Ya also disappeared, only to hear him laugh: "The poem is really good, and it has the potential to surpass the former poet Li Yuan." I didn't expect that there would be such talents in the people, which is gratifying. Your handwriting is good, and I look at it like I've been practicing for a long time. β
Zhou Zong's last sentence was very meaningful, and even looking at Shen Ya's eyes was strange. And Shen Ya was even more furious by this emperor, and always felt that he seemed to have discovered some secret about her.
This emperor. For some reason, Shen Ya always felt that there should be a deep story hidden behind him. The moment of confusion just now, Shen Ya could see it clearly.
At this age, he would still show such eyes, which shows that Zhou Zong has always had one thing in his heart. bothered him. I just don't know what this is.
Hearing that the emperor and queen praised Shen Ya, all the princes and ministers below were also very curious. Especially Duanhou, now he should be the most anxious person to see Shen Ya's words, because faintly, he felt that he was likely to be deceived by his daughter.
"Take it to the princes and the ministers." Probably seeing the eager eyes of everyone below, the queen ordered with a faint smile.
So, the palace maid took Shen Ya's words, turned it around, and presented it to the princes and ministers to watch.
"Good poems, good words!"
After all the princes saw it, their eyes showed a look of admiration, and when they looked at Shen Ya's eyes, they were not as disdainful as before, but they were a little appreciative. And Zhao Yan, the eighth prince, is even more Yan zhΓ²ng, exuding a fanaticism, as if he has not seen a good poem for 800 years.
"Brother Seven, I really didn't expect that there would be such good poems among the people, and when I saw it today, it was really an eye-opener." The eighth prince sat beside Zhao Jin, staring at the words on the palace maid's hand excitedly, and at the same time memorized the poem in his heart. "The words of Miss Duanfu Seventh are really good, it looks a little less feminine and a little more refreshing."
"Yes, it's a good word, a good poem." Zhao Jin's eyes were firmly fixed on the top of the hall, and the woman with a smile on the corner of her mouth was stunned for a while. "Feel free to rest in spring, and the kings and grandchildren can stay." Is this the life you want? Zhao Jin looked at Shen Ya's light face, and suddenly, she seemed to understand something, understood why, she always wanted to escape from herself.
The hand shook unconsciously, and Zhao Jin's eyes also revealed the same confusion as Emperor Zhouzong at this moment, but this confusion was like a meteor, flashing, and after a while, it became firm again.
On the top of the main hall, many ministers were literati, and they were very excited to see such a good poem, and they began to taste this poem regardless of the identity of the occasion. Some say that this person who writes poetry is talented, some say that this person must be such a literati hermit, and there are also people like Zhou Zong, but it is a pity that talents cannot be used by our dynasty.
In short, the main hall has regained its previous lively scene.
Naturally, some people rejoice, and naturally some people are sad. Those ministers who originally wanted to use Shen Ya to attack Duanhou were now playing the wrong chess, and they sat on their chairs as if they were castrated, their faces ashen.
"Sister Geya, you're so amazing." Shen Ya returned to her seat and saw Duan Shuya looking at her with admiration, her eyes full of joy. And the eldest sister Duan Yunya also smiled at her with satisfaction. Naturally, she also received a lot of jealous eyes, such as Duan Wenya, and Duan Qingya, which was very similar to the look on Duan Hou's face, looked at her with a complicated face.
Duanhou... Shen Ya sighed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to him later. She'd have to come up with an excuse first.
Shen Ya knew that her appearance tonight might bring her a lot of trouble. But there are two sides to everything. There is a bad side, and naturally there is a good side. At least, she showed her hands to fight for a breath for herself. Saying. The most beautiful thing about her is that she can't stand being provoked. The white eyes and cold treatment she received in Duanfu for days during this period of time have made her fed up. She didn't want to be ridiculed anymore. Being belittled or despised by others, that kind of taste, is really uncomfortable. What's more, she blindly endures a knife in her heart, and in the end, she is hurt. Why did she bother?
She didn't want to be the brightest star in the crowd. becomes the target of public criticism, but I don't want to be the worst in other people's mouths.
Tonight's banquet came to an end after Shen Ya finished writing that poem.
Tonight, I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night. Someone. Tonight, it will become famous and become a topic of conversation among everyone in the capital, and similarly, some people will be called the object of everyone's ridicule. Maybe she wasn't bad in the first place, but compared to a group of leaders, the gap was immediately apparent.
According to the rules of choosing concubines, their group of show girls can't leave the palace tonight. If you need to stay in the palace for the night, you can leave tomorrow morning after asking the Queen Mother to say goodbye.
The ministers and their families left one by one, and before leaving, they also told them not to cause trouble tonight.
Shen Ya and the sisters of Duanfu were also standing outside the main hall at this moment, listening to the instructions of Duanhou and Ning.
For Ning's. After Shen Ya spoke, she had been secretly paying attention to Ning's reaction. found that she was exceptionally calm tonight, which made Shen Ya a little uneasy, and she always felt that this was the calm before the storm.
Especially after she wrote that poem, she didn't say a word, just sat quietly.
She couldn't make out her expression.
Now she finally had the opportunity to get in close contact with her, and found that she was just like before entering the palace, and said and laughed at her, taking care of her, and telling her, as if nothing had happened before.
In the end, Duanhou glanced at Shen Ya, and left with the Ning clan and Duan Shuya, who was already sleepy. Before leaving, Duanhou just twisted his eyebrows and told her: Be careful in everything.
Shen Ya knew that it was wrong to deceive Duanhou before, and tonight he tried his best to protect himself, and Shen Ya was still a little moved in his heart. This gave her a taste of the long-lost fatherly love. So facing him at this time, for some reason, there was a trace of weakness.
"My daughter knows, thank you father for your concern." Shen Ya didn't dare to look at him with a weak heart, and nodded, indicating that she knew.
When Duanhou heard her say this, he left with his wife and daughter.
"Little master, it's not too early, please allow the minions to take the little masters back to rest." As soon as Duanhou left, a eunuch came up with a smile and led the way for Shen Ya and the others.
"There's an old man." Seeing this, Duan Yunya smiled very politely.
"Hey, what is the little master talking about, this is a matter for the minion, if you want to say that, it is really torturous for the minion." The eunuch was about twenty heads, very white, and it was about tonight that Duan Yunya made the queen very satisfied, and these slaves who were accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder also made a 180-degree turn to her, and patted the horse's ass.
Duan Wenya was already aggrieved tonight, but now when she saw the slave stammering with the eldest sister like this, her heart suddenly began to become unbalanced, and she couldn't help but start stabbing: "Yo, this hasn't become the imperial concubine yet, so it's starting to stutter." But you have to see it clearly, don't be the princess's concubine when the time comes, then it will be in vain. After speaking, he snorted coldly, and left with the maid first.
After saying this, the eunuch's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was very embarrassed.
However, in the end, it is the slave who is used to it, knows how to endure, and laughs self-deprecatingly, that's it.
Duan Yunya saw that he didn't take it to heart, so she didn't say anything more. Several people followed the eunuch all the way back to the courtyard where they lived, during which Duan Yunya and Duan Qingya were surprisingly silent. Duan Qingya seemed to have very little to say tonight, and Shen Ya observed her several times, but she saw her frowning, pursing her lips and not knowing what she was thinking.
Occasionally glancing at her, he quickly turned away.
Shen Ya knew that Duan Qingya was wondering, no, it should be said that tonight, she who originally felt too good about herself saw something clearly: that is, don't underestimate anyone.
Not only Shen Ya, but Duan Yunya, including Duan Wenya, actually surprised her a lot.
She didn't know that in Duanfu, everyone would hide, and some even hid very deeply, such as Duan Yunya. Her city should be said to be the deepest among their sisters. Fortunately. This person shouldn't have any bad intentions, and tonight is just to give himself a good future.
All the way back to the courtyard where they lived, everyone greeted each other and dispersed.
Late at night. The moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, falling silvery white.
The lights in the courtyard went out one by one. Everyone went to sleep.
In the deep palace, everything is silent at this time. Occasionally, soldiers walking by on the night watch, but other than that, the courtyard was quiet and frightening.
Shen Ya was lying on the bed with a snowball in her arms, but she couldn't sleep. Dongchun slept next to her, listening to the sound of breathing in her ears, she should be asleep.
"Hey..."Shen Ya sighed lightly. She really envied this girl, and she didn't have to worry about anything else except serving her.
I don't know what time it is, Shen Ya feels as if a long time has passed. But she just didn't feel sleepy at all. Listen to the courtyard outside the house, there is no sound at all. Occasionally, a line of soldiers walked by, but soon the sound died down again.
"Squeak." Just when Shen Ya was complaining in her heart, the house was too quiet and she couldn't sleep, and outside the courtyard, there was a sudden squeaky sound.
Shen Ya heard this, and her heart tightened. At this hour, there are still people out of the house? Who could it be?
Can't help the curiosity in her heart, Shen Ya quietly got up with a snowball, walked to the door, and looked out through the door. Faintly. She seemed to see a familiar figure. This person is not someone else, it is Cao Xin'er who is in the limelight in the main hall tonight.
Cao Xin'er is so late, why is she sneaking out?
Shen Ya watched her walk outside the courtyard, she didn't want to meddle in things, but she was sometimes a slut, once she became interested in something. I always want to find out. Therefore, Shen Ya struggled for a long time, but still went back to the house to get the bag, put the snowball in the bag, put on a coat, and opened the door and secretly followed.
She quietly followed Cao Xin'er and followed her all the way out of the Taiji Palace, and found that she was actually heading in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Cao Xin'er at this moment, where is the arrogance of treating Shen Ya today and the amorous style in the main hall. Her eyes, in the middle of the night, were surprisingly calm. Moreover, she seemed to be familiar with the road of the palace, and she turned around and arrived at the imperial garden in a few clicks.
"Master." Cao Xin'er arrived at the Imperial Garden, came to a tree, and knelt down to a man in black standing under the tree.
"Get up." The man clasped his hands behind his back and did not turn. "How's it going?"
Cao Xin'er stood up according to her words and said, "My subordinates have hidden the real Cao Xin'er according to the master's instructions. As for Emperor Zhouzong... Unsurprisingly, it should let his subordinates enter the palace. β
Shen Ya was startled when she heard this, and she intuitively felt as if she had heard something she shouldn't have heard. It turned out that the one who danced on the hall tonight was not the real Cao Xin'er. No wonder, she felt strange, the people in the hall were like two people she had met before.
"Well, you did a good job, after entering the palace, you must find out the cause of the death of the concubine that night, remember?" The man's indifferent voice sounded, but in this silent night, it was like a thunderbolt, and Shen Ya's hairs stood on end.
Late concubine? It turned out to be a person who entered the palace to find out the cause of the death of the late concubine? Who is this? And why do you do that?
"Subordinates obey." When the woman had finished speaking, she turned and left.
Shen Ya stared blankly at the departing fake Cao Xin'er, and was a little stunned for a while. The affairs in this palace are really as complicated as the rumors in the outside world, who knows that in the near future, the woman who may accompany the monarch will be a detailed work sent by others.
What about the emperor, it's not that he has to suffer from the calculations of the women in the palace. How sad.
Seeing Cao Xin'er leaving, Shen Ya also planned to leave secretly. But he didn't want to take a step, but he heard a voice behind him: "Who! β
Shen Ya's steps to leave froze, and she couldn't help but wail that she was unlucky. This person's sense of hearing is a little too powerful.
But in an instant, there was a man in black and a mask in front of Shen Ya.
Shen Ya raised her head and looked at the man in black. But she didn't want to, and before she could see clearly, there was a dull pain in her neck, and then, as soon as she rolled her eyes, she fainted.
Before fainting, Shen Ya saw a pair of eyes that were very familiar.
Seeing Shen Ya fainting, the man in black sighed and took off the mask on his face.
"Little thing, it's so fat." The man in black smiled helplessly, picked her up horizontally, and strode towards the direction of Taiji Palace.
Along the way, he came to Shen Ya's courtyard with ease, and gently pushed open the door of Shen Ya's room familiarly.
At this time, the maid was sleeping soundly in winter and spring, and she didn't know that a man had broken into their room.
The man in black carefully put Shen Ya on the bed, looking at Shen Ya who had fainted, a trace of apology flashed in the man's eyes. The hand gently stroked Shen Ya's face, sat for a moment, and then turned around and left the room.
Out of the courtyard, just about to leave the palace with light work, but he didn't want to fly to the roof of the palace, he saw a man in a black robe standing in the room coldly, holding his hands, waiting for him.
"It's been 20 years, why don't you put it down?" The man in the black robe was none other than the Seventh Prince, Zhao Jin. At this moment, he was looking at the man with a solemn face, and his eyes were full of disapproval.
The man in black gave him an indifferent look and turned to leave. Only one sentence remains: "You take what you want, I won't interfere with you, but, don't mind my business, otherwise... Don't blame me for being ruthless. β
"After all these years, what can you find out? What's more, my father killed so many people back then, and he didn't find out, do you think you can? β
The man in black seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and his back stiffened, but he ignored Zhao Jin and flew directly away from the palace. RQ
