Chapter Ninety-Three: Poetry Against Poetry
If there is no right and wrong in the palace, time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
It is late autumn, autumn is strong, the Qianqiu Pavilion of the Imperial Garden is full of begonia flowers, the begonia petals are delicate and red, its stems and leaves are verdant again, a brocade scenery is very pleasant.
The cuttlefish sat in the Qianqiu Pavilion with the emperor, chatting while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Since the beginning of autumn, the two of them often come to the imperial garden in the afternoon to sit, blowing the breeze to feed the fish, and occasionally mixing mouths, and the life is also leisurely.
The emperor's eyes kept stopping at the cuttlefish, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Why are you dressed more delicate than this begonia flower today, but you want to be more beautiful than the begonia?" ”
The cuttlefish looked down at the peach-colored palace dress on his body, and rolled his eyes, "How can the concubine have the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, how can she be cheeky and more beautiful than anything, the emperor doesn't want to make fun of the concubine, you also said last time that you should let the concubine wear more bright dresses, why do you think the concubine is dressed brightly today?" That doesn't make people get dressed properly. ”
"In the palace, you dare to talk to me like this, I originally wanted to praise you for being better than Huajiao, but you are good, and you have a temper again." The emperor said strangely, but there was a smile on his face, and after a while, he said again, "Begonias are very beautiful, and beauties are also beautiful, are you interested in composing a few lines of poetry for me?" ”
When it comes to poetry and songs, only cuttlefish in the harem can talk to the emperor, although she is not from a scholarly family, but she knows more than those famous ladies.
The cuttlefish lowered its head and pondered for a while, then smiled proudly, and said in a crisp voice, "Where is the snow in the autumn yin, and the rain stains add to the scars, but the poet is tireless, how can it make the loneliness go to the dark." The concubine's small work "Yongqiu Tang" also hopes that the emperor will laugh and accept it. ”
She looked at the emperor with a raised face, picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth, waiting to be praised by the emperor.
The emperor squinted his eyes and said dissatisfied. "It's not good, it's not good, although this poem is good, but why only sing about begonias, but not about beauties." I'm not satisfied. ”
After hearing this, the cuttlefish snorted lightly, thinking to himself how to compose a poem about himself, isn't the emperor looking for trouble? She looked at the emperor with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were full of coquettishness. "The emperor will play tricks, this is bullying the concubines, why don't you make a song?" You are a beauty, the concubine wants to see how beautiful you can say the concubine! ”
As soon as the emperor slapped the table, he immediately responded, and he came with his mouth open, "Jiangcheng is full of miasma and plants, and only famous flowers are bitter and lonely. Yan Ran smiled and between the bamboo fences, the mountains of peaches and plums were always vulgar. What do you think of this one? ”
This poem of the emperor not only praises the beauty of begonias. also compared the cuttlefish to a begonia, praising her as glamorous as a begonia. In this harem, there are ordinary women like peach and plum, only cuttlefish can compare to begonias, the most distinctive, elegant and extraordinary.
The cuttlefish naturally understood the emperor's praise, but she still couldn't help pouting and said angrily, "This poem is wonderful, the concubine doesn't dare to be it, but." This is not the emperor's poem, this is obviously written by the great poet Su Dongpo, how can you use other people's poems to fool the concubines. It's time to fight! ”
The emperor's eyes shone with a sly light, "I am not a writer after all. How can you write poems for you, if you don't do it well enough, wouldn't it be despised for you, if that's the case, then it's called a deserved! Begonias have the reputation of "flower concubine", I compare you to a begonia, that is, call you a flower concubine. Why are you still not happy? ”
"What's so happy about this, it's just a little trick of the emperor's envoy, don't try to fool me!"
After going back and forth, the two of them began to joke with each other again, and the few palace people standing next to them were also used to it, and the emperor would only have such a non-serious side when he was with the cuttlefish.
However, the title of "Flower Concubine" is also very special, having said that, there is no concubine in the palace yet, and the one ranked below the queen's position is Concubine Xi, and even if Concubine Xi has the right to manage the six palaces, she has been on the concubine position for many years and has not been promoted to the concubine.
Just when the emperor was frolicking with the cuttlefish, Su Peisheng led a man with fluttering sleeves to come over, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Imperial Doctor Shen. Imperial Physician Shen was wearing a gray robe, holding a small wooden medicine box, and walked over in an orderly manner, as if he was in the opinion, he subconsciously dodged behind the cuttlefish, and his handsome face immediately turned red.
This small action of hers was noticed by the emperor, who frowned invisibly, remembering the family affair that the cuttlefish asked him to arrange.
In a moment, Imperial Physician Shen had already walked in front of the emperor, and after he finished saluting, he immediately took the pulse of the emperor, and acted neatly and neatly.
During this time, the emperor has been taking medicine on time according to the prescription, and he has never fallen behind, so his body recovers quickly.
Imperial Physician Shen slowly withdrew his hand, nodded, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, your body has fully recovered." ”
"Really? That's great! The medicine you gave me was so bitter that I finally didn't have to take it anymore! The emperor was very happy, and then asked, "By the way, how is Prince Yi's situation?" ”
In the morning, Imperial Physician Shen went to Prince Yi's mansion on the order of the emperor to check the prince's condition, but the news from the prince's side was not optimistic.
Imperial Physician Shen bowed his head and replied, "Back to the emperor, Prince Yi has taken too many pills, and it will take some time to recover." ”
After hearing this, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared, and there was a little anger in his eyes, and he scolded, "That stinky Taoist priest, what did you use to deceive me, and Yun Xiang, who was also harmed, also suffered, and his crime is really deserved!" I also became more and more confused, thinking that I could take it with confidence if I found someone to try this pill, but as a result, I hurt my own brother. ”
The Taoist priest surnamed Jia has been ordered to be beheaded, but the emperor still feels that he is not relieved enough, these days, whenever he thinks of this, he blames himself, blaming himself for not being cautious and not careful enough, and it also affects Yunxiang's body.
The cuttlefish held the emperor's hand, silently comforted the emperor, she carefully instructed, "Imperial Doctor Shen, thanks to your emperor, he can recover so quickly, but the prince still has to work for you to continue to take care of carefully, if the prince has improved, you must come to inform the emperor earlier, so as not to make the emperor always uneasy." ”
The cuttlefish knew that the emperor and Prince Yi had a deep brotherhood, so he specially said this to Imperial Doctor Shen.
After hearing this, Imperial Physician Shen still replied simply and only one word, "Yes." ”
The emperor was already in an irritable mood, looking at him like this, he couldn't help complaining, "Imperial Doctor Shen really cherishes words like gold, it seems that if you want to listen to you say a few words, you can only spend silver to buy it, if you are always so cold and silent, it is estimated that you will not even be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future, so I will not dislike you, and I am willing to use you as a doctor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all felt that there seemed to be some truth in what they said.
Imperial Physician Shen was ridiculed by the emperor's poisonous tongue, his face turned slightly red, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Emperor Xie is worried, but now you can rest assured, the minister can marry a wife, my father has arranged a marriage for the minister, and the two families are discussing an auspicious day." ”
What the? Imperial Doctor Shen is getting married! The emperor, cuttlefish, and Ruyi were all stunned. (To be continued.) )
