was idle, when he suddenly heard a voice shouting: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" Everyone stood up and knelt down again, saying: "Welcome to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious." ”

I secretly looked up and saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes slowly walking in. said that she was the queen mother, but in fact, she was only less than forty years old, and because she was well-maintained, she looked like she was in her early thirties. She wore a moon bun on her head, a phoenix and a golden step of a phoenix on the left and right, and wore a dark purple mopping clothes with gold thread trimming, which made the whole person luxurious.

"Get up." The voice is very soft, but there is still a majesty in it that cannot be ignored. Rulan hurriedly stepped forward and helped me up. I looked up and saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were slowly sweeping over everyone's faces. I saw her looking over to us, and hurriedly bowed her head in a respectful gesture.

"You are the fifth girl and half lotus of the Ding Xiang family, right?" I was shocked in my heart, Banlian is my small character, few people know, but I was called out by the Queen Mother, and I couldn't help but look up in surprise.

It may be that my expression was too shocked, and the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Silly girl, this little character was given to you by the mourning family." Come, sit down beside the mourners. ”

I hurriedly knelt down and said, "The courtiers don't dare. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Why don't you dare, I hugged you when you were a child." I really can't imagine that I have grown so big, and I still have such a closed moon posture, well, it seems that I ...... back then" She suddenly paused again, beckoned again, and said, "Come on." I looked at Du Yuxuan beside me, she was also blank, and when she saw me looking at her, she nodded lightly to me.

I had no choice but to go to the Queen Mother's table, where the maid had already added a cushion for me under her. I sat down on my knees.

The queen mother smiled and asked the palace maid to add another cushion to me, and said, "This girl's legs are not good, so make her thicker." Then he turned to me and asked, "Do you know the origin of your little print?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Daddy only said that it was taken by a respected old man. "The old man is the old man, but the high morality is added by me. Because when my father talked about it at the time, I always vaguely felt that he had an indescribable relationship with this old man, and today I actually let me know that this person is actually the queen mother.

The queen mother's family name is Shen, and before the queen mother entered the palace, her father was just a five-grade waiter. After the Empress Dowager Shen entered the palace, she was many years younger than the emperor, and she looked like a sinking fish and a goose, and it was said that she enjoyed the emperor's favor, and it was almost to the point of responding to requests. But she didn't do it herself, so she later supported the fifth highness who died early of her mother and became the son of today. She was also honored as the Queen Mother. Therefore, since she entered the palace, the Shen family has also developed, and by now, the Shen family is already a big family that cannot be underestimated.

"The deceased?" She repeated these two words gently, and I seemed to see a bleak smile, but when I tried to investigate it carefully, I saw that the smile on her face was not unusual, could it be that I was dazzled.

"Hmm." I nodded and said, "I thought it was a great name." Because my name is Mu Qing, there is a kind of flower that sees the sun bloom and does not bloom in the morning and evening and on cloudy days, and the name is Lobelia. I think, that's what the Queen Mother should have said, right? ”

"Fifth sister, how can I come and go when I talk to the Queen Mother? I don't know the rules! Ding Muyan suddenly said aloud. Because the poetry meeting had not officially started, and the Queen Mother surprised everyone as soon as she came, although our conversation was quiet, everyone still heard it clearly.

I panicked in my heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers really don't understand the rules, and their words are out of order, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me." ”

Ding Muyan also knelt down in that room: "Queen Mother, because my sister has not been educated since she was a child, she doesn't know poetry, and she doesn't understand the rules, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive her for the crime of ignorance." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole was in an uproar, you must know that in this world, although women are still different from men, there is no great defense between men and women, and although women cannot be famous, they can read and write like men, and men marry wives and seek talents. Ding Muyan's words undoubtedly pointed to me being illiterate and having no manners. I looked back at Ding Muyan, and although she had a sincere expression on her face, her eyes were full of provocation when she looked at me. And glancing at the others, except for Du Yuxuan's anxious face, the others either despised or ridiculed, anyway, they all looked like they were watching a good show. looked at the Queen Mother again, but she didn't have any expression, she just said lightly: "It's okay, get up quickly, there's nothing wrong with me coming and going." The mourning family specially allowed Ding Xiang's five daughters not to say honorifics. Rulan helped me up, but I saw the Queen Mother's eyes looking into the distance, as if she was talking to herself: "Didn't you say you didn't believe it at the beginning? Well, it looks like you're well abided by. ”

After the small turmoil, Ding Muyan came out to seek the Empress Dowager's decree and announced the official start of the poetry meeting. Today's poem will be based on the theme of Yongyue, and I think the meaning is mediocre and nothing new. I know a lot of Yongyue poems, of course, they are all made by others, although there may not be these people in this time and space, but I don't want to steal other people's talents. Besides, everyone already knew about my "ignorance" anyway, so I broke the jar and broke it. And the Queen Mother seemed to know my thoughts, and she didn't ask me to write poems.

After half a pillar of incense, it is the time of publication. Because Ding Muqing is the host, this theme was originally set by her, so it is natural that her poems are very meaningful. After a circle, it is still her and Du Yuxuan's poems as the most. And Ding Muqing obviously wanted to separate from Du Yuxuan, so he asked the Queen Mother

Ying Yi bowed and said: "Queen Mother, it is rare for your old man to come today, so I decided that I wanted to come to Sister Du and I was not convinced, after all, I knew the topic first." Therefore, the courtiers want to dare to ask the queen mother to ask the question, and we will do another round, and then take this as the final result, so as to show fairness. ”

The queen mother's jaw head, the palace maids presented pen and paper, and after the queen mother pondered for a while, she wrote the word "Chang'e" on the paper. Although they are different from time and place, there are many myths and legends that are the same. Among them is the story of "Chang'e running to the moon".

"Queen Mother, the courtiers have a proposal." A woman knelt down and said. I know her, she is Yang Caiqin, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites. I know that she is good friends with Ding Muyan, and I have an ominous premonition in my heart. Sure enough, she continued: "Sister Mu Qing is participating in the poetry meeting for the first time this time, so it's okay to compose poems, but if she doesn't participate in it, it's not very funless, and I'm afraid I won't want to participate in it next time." Therefore, the courtier's daughter suggested that Mu Qing's sister should dedicate a song when everyone was composing a poem, so that her sister could have the joy of participating. ”

I cursed in my heart: Le X, it seems that it is not enough for Ding Muyan to let everyone know that I am illiterate, but also to let people know that I don't know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before I am satisfied.

"This ......" The Queen Mother looked at me with some embarrassment, I was also a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, but seeing the embarrassed expressions of the Queen Mother who were ready to watch a good show, my heart was excited, and I bowed: "The courtiers are willing to give it a try, but I am afraid that the sisters will feel that it is not good to scratch the interest in writing poetry." Yang Caiqin immediately replied: "How can it be, Sister Muyan's piano skills are outstanding, you are her sister, it shouldn't be much worse." ”

I didn't answer, I just asked, "I wonder if there is a kite in the palace?" "At that time, the Zheng here was still different from the Zheng I learned, and the Zheng I learned in modern times was improved, and the Zheng at this time still felt a bit like a guqin. But it's pretty much the same, fortunately, I was bored and fiddled a few times ago, otherwise, I really don't have any certainty today.

The palace maid quickly brought a zither over, and I looked at the queen mother, she looked a little worried, but quickly returned to normal. For some reason, her bleak smile kept coming to my mind, and my heart moved, and then said: "Since the title of the Queen Mother is Chang'e, then I will play a song on this topic." "The strings were plucked gently, and I played a piece of music called "Pipa Xing" that was adapted from the modern pipa, and when I arrived here, I kneaded it with an ancient song called "Yin Feng" here. The sound of the piano overlapped and stacked, and I was stunned in my heart, thinking of Chang'e's loneliness in the middle of the moon, isn't it similar to this queen mother who is struggling in the deep palace. So he sang in a loud voice: "The shadow of the mica screen is deep, and the Yangtze River is gradually falling." "When the piano turns, the voice is low, like a human sigh." Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night. Thinking of the bits and pieces of his past life and afterglow, and thinking of himself in this strange time and space, the strings under his hands became even more urgent, poignant, and finally ended in a round of string swinging.

There was silence in the audience, but I felt cold on my face, and I burst into tears when I touched it. Fortunately, it was dark, and I sat in the middle of the field again, and no one noticed, so I quickly wiped it and bowed down again. Looking up at the Queen Mother, she kept looking at me fixedly, but she didn't speak.
