What is this, failing to pass the homework? Next, should you be punished for copying the Analects 300 times or something? When he brought the letter back, Xu Xun couldn't speak, and read the apology fold that he had worked hard for three days to perfunctory back and forth several times, and he couldn't find anything that could be modified in his attitude.

Isn't that humble enough? Xu Xun was a little dazed, she didn't know what the effect of the emperor wanted, she even showed the letter to Mama Qian, and even Mama Qian could only say that she was convinced - Xu Xun's apology excerpt, although it was not said to be brilliant, but it was also smooth and reasonable, and she reviewed her mistakes from all angles. The only thing to say is that those sentences of self-blame and remorse are a little more straightforward, and the number is slightly smaller, and they may not be able to impress the emperor.

What to do? Since the emperor wants to see a more sincere version, Xu Xun can only write another letter, anyway, there is nothing else in Layue, she said that her illness has not been cured yet, Xiyuan is impossible to go, closed in Yong'an Palace, except for raising children, there is nothing else.

"According to the emperor's meaning, if you can't write a letter of apology that satisfies him." In order to make Xu Xun write a letter with a correct attitude, Mama Qian can pull out any nonsense, "I'm afraid that this disease can't be haode, Kunning Palace, don't go, but Xiyuan, you still have an errand." ”

In other words, don't you want to get out and have fun? The cell boss must take care of it, otherwise, he can only be locked up in Yong'an Palace, and he can't even go to the backyard much, and he has to stay in his own rooms most of the time.

Xu Xun is not a very chaste kind of person, especially after going to the West Courtyard, he feels that it is very boring to be locked in the house for a long time, and can only read books and play chess. Thinking of this, I really have a little motivation to write the so-called apology excerpt, so I let people go out and buy a large number of classics back, especially the anthologies published by various famous writers, look through the part of the correspondence, absorb (copy) elegant rhetoric from it, and then slightly modify it, and use it in his own daoqian letters.

In the inner court, although it is not said that it is a gathering of literary talents, there are indeed some famous female histories for their talents, if it is not for this, it is too embarrassing, Xu Xun wants to invite one to come back and teach himself to write it by hand. The so-called book is less hated when it is used, and when it is not time to start writing letters, Xu Xun does not feel the lack of his cultural accumulation.

"Haven't all the inner study halls been open for a few years?" The crooked ideas all hit the eunuchs, "But some clever little eunuchs have come out of it?" ”

Nowadays, the inner court education in the palace is divided into two systems: eunuchs and palace maids, and the inner study hall on the eunuch's side is taught by a bachelor who is a bachelor of the Eight Classics, and the general private school is the same. The women's study of the palace maids, like the courses taken by the concubines, are taught by the old and knowledgeable female history, and there are some eunuchs from Confucianism as deputies, although these people are talented and learned, but of course they are eye-popping compared with university scholars, and the purpose of teaching is not the same, generally with the goal of 'reading and reasoning', and the teaching materials are all reading materials such as persuasion and women's morality. Of course, the level of graduates is incomparable with the inner study hall, Xu Xun's abacus is quite haode, anyway, Wang Jin is also his own person, he is now a great eunuch, and his official duties are very busy on weekdays, of course, it is impossible to ghostwrite for Xu Xun, but if there are apprentices and grandchildren who enter the inner study hall, the results are good......

"It's only been open for a few years," Grandma Sun dispelled Xu Xun's idea, "How can a child who just went in come out so quickly?" If you want to find someone to ghostwrite, it is better to find Wang Zhen next to the emperor, he is diligent and courteous, very good at things, and Wang Jin gets along well, the most important thing is that there is no job at present, there is a lot of free time, and he should be able to help with this. ”

is doing well, and the apprentices and grandchildren, after all, they are two kinds of relationship, Xu Xun shook his head and said, "I don't know him, how embarrassed to speak." ”

As for the female official's side, there is no need to think about it, all well-known female histories are basically closely related to the masters of the palaces, this is busy begging for the past, who knows when it will leak into the other palaces, more things are better than less things, it is better to bow your head and ponder it yourself.

"Yes," a few grandmothers have been with Xu Xun for many years, and they are not so formal in private, seeing Xu Xun holding his head, sitting by the kang and meditating. Mama Zhao asked Mama Sun a little narrowly, "Didn't this Wang Zhen hear that he was going to Shangbao Prison?" Why did you ask you to find your origin? Dare not get along with Wang Jin? ”

There is no benefit, what is Mama Sun doing to mention Wang Zhen in a good manner? It is clear that he saw that the concubine was favored, so he wanted to hug this thigh, so that he could go further in his current position, you must know that now the palace is the same as the court, Fan Hong, Jin Ying, and Wang Jin, and their status is as stable as Sanyang. The celebrant is controlled by these three people, and there is no place for others to stand out, and the emperor is surrounded by ministers, and there are great eunuchs such as Ma Shi who have followed him for many years, even if Wang Zhen has great ambition and a thousand means, it is difficult to go up a few more steps.

There is no space to go up, either seek to be released, or go to the prince's side to be a big companion, this is a very good way out, such as Zhuang'er, and then the feudal king, that is, the local tyrant, as his big companion, Wang Zhen enjoys the power and prestige, and will not be inferior to the parents of the fief. Or ask the concubine for a few kind words, go to a rich place, and be a town guard eunuch is also a good choice, there will never be a shortage of oil and water.

Grandma Sun scolded with a smile, "Hugh arranged me, in front of the mother, you are not weak-hearted." ”

She half explained, "After all, he is new, you don't know, this person was originally an instructor in the county, and he can be regarded as a bit of talent." I heard Wang Jin say, I am a good person, clever and reliable, I recommend it to Niangniang, otherwise, do you really let Wang Jin write it? ”

"If it doesn't work, let Wang Jin write it." Xu Xun was also a little upset when he heard their noise, and deliberately scared Grandma Sun and said, "Anyway, it's written, I'll just copy it, so that the eldest brother won't see the handwriting." ”

Is this a problem with handwriting? How can Wang Jin say that it is the emperor's companion, and it is a bit taboo to send two junior apprentices to help Xu Xun, and he is afraid that he will not die fast enough? Mama Sun was embarrassed all of a sudden, and she couldn't speak, Xu Xun saw it, her mood improved, she clapped her hands and smiled, "That's it, look at Mama like that, her eyes are about to fall off, but I still don't embarrass you." ”

After three or three days of hard work, she wrote the second daoqian letter and asked the goodwill ambassador to take it to the emperor. However, unlike the confidence when the first daoqian letter was sent, this time, Xu Xun consciously thought messily and pieced together, and although others said it was good, she felt that she didn't know what to do.

Just sent it out like this, I feel a little weak, and I always feel that I can't pass it......

Xu Xun thought about it for a long time, then opened the box, took out an old haode sachet from the small drawer containing the needle and thread, and asked the letter to bring it with a little bit, which was regarded as a little bribe, and more or less showed her sincerity - this sachet was still made haode before she went to Nannei, and after several big changes, she completely forgot that there was such a thing, and she only found it when she wanted to make a few small uppers for Dian Dian and Zhuang'er the day before yesterday.

Compared with her female red and embroidered girls, she is naturally not very outstanding, but it is still on the level, this sachet is made of bright yellow base, and the dragon pattern is coiled with gold thread on the top, and the button of ivory is used, which is obviously made for the emperor. Because the material was good and the collection was good, Xu Xun hoped that the emperor would think that she was in a hurry, so he forgave her and didn't have to read the third letter.

I went to the Qianqing Palace, came back again, saw my mother, first said incoherently, even Zhuang'er smiled, it turned out that in the Qianqing Palace, not only can you play with your sisters and brothers, but also eat candy and snacks, children eat too much sugar, one is happy, one is excited, how can you not talk much?

Xu Xun was very happy to see that she didn't take out the letter, and listened to her finish with a smile, seeing that it was time to take a nap, Mama Qian came up to take her, and just rubbed her eyes, and took it out in her arms a little sleepily.

"Mother, give." She took out the letter, like a gift, and generously stuffed it into Xu Xun's hand, "Oh, and this, my father asked me to bring it back to you." ”

Xu Xun took the small purse, took it in, and took out a few pieces of soufflé...... It was the kind that the emperor sent her to eat on the night of her first bedtime. Because she loves to eat, there are offerings in the palace every year, and it is not uncommon to see a little bit at all, she didn't look at it much, yawned, and took Mama Qian to her house, leaving Xu Xun in a daze with these pieces of soufflé.

After a while, Hua'er came in from outside the house with a pot of new tea in her hand, walked up to Xu Xun, and helped her change the tea in the cup. ”

She looked at it fixedly, "Huh? How is it yellow-orange-orange and dry? It's alternate years, right? Don't eat it, I'll bring you something fresh. ”

As he spoke, he took a few pieces of snacks, and after a while, he brought her a plate of snow-white and soft soufflés, "Taste this, this is fresh." ”

Xu Xun twitched the corners of her mouth - she didn't want to eat soufflé at all now.

The idea of getting through the trick was ruthlessly shattered, which hit the a little hard, and it wasn't until dinner that she opened the letter that had been returned in its original form. Sure enough, the emperor's comments were not positive at all.

'It's not as good as the first one, just four pages, how can there be five or six mouths?' The attitude is not sincere, not in the words are not fine, and then rewritten. ’

"Alas......" Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh at the letter: This Shangfeng is really not easy to serve.

#

Halfway through the month of La, if Xu Xun is sick again, she will miss the entire Chinese New Year's Eve Festival, in other words, there is not much time left for her to write a letter, after the second letter was frustrated, Xu Xun decided to try a third time, this time adopting the whole vernacular, counting the benefits that the emperor had done to her for many years before, as well as her own various ingratitudes and vexatiousness, anyway, it was a rebellious act that should kill a thousand knives, praising the virtues of the emperor Bixia illuminating the ages, and reviewing his despicable and wronged personality, It also shows the cherishing of the current life, as well as the hope for the emperor and haode, anyway, in the vernacular, there is no need to consider the words and sentences, what format to make, sprinkled, a detachment is more than ten pages, she also checked it several times, to make sure that there is no resentment and grievance in it (because' Tried and tested', this kind of sour gas now she really has a lot of it), and stayed up all night to make a brand-new, the most delicate sachet, even the eyes were red, and she didn't dare to let others do it for her, for fear that the emperor would have a sharp eye and see that the stitches were different from some of the accessories she had made before.

"This time, it's all about putting down face, right?" She said to Mama Qian, "You just have to find fault with me, and I admire you if you can find out anything." ”

Mama Qian went back and forth, and checked it a few times, and this time, she smiled, "The slave maid thinks that even the emperor can't find a little fault, this time, most of these folds should be able to 'stay in the middle and not send it'." ”

Staying in the middle and not sending it, probably even if it means to pass the test, Xu Xun also felt that this should be no longer passed, it was simply unreasonable, she relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair and sighed, seeing that Mama Qian wanted to pour red beans into the sachet, but she was a little unwilling, and said, "Mama!" How can this be...... Anyway, no, red beans are not allowed. ”

After pouring out the bag of beans, he put the sachet in the envelope, "Just send it over like this, it's a big deal to stuff a piece of chicken tongue incense, how can there be...... How can there be such a thing as you! A bag full of beans, how bad it looks. ”

Mama Qian was helpless, "Whatever you want, whatever you want." ”

Xu Xun is now looking forward to the three-day period more than Diandian, and it is easy to survive until the day, and she will be sent to the sedan chair, she is just like the candidates waiting for the release of the list, everything can't be calm, so she almost wanders back and forth in the house. Although she is nine times out of ten, she should be able to pass the test, but after all, this is related to whether she can get out of prison and release the wind, and if she can't have a good time, how can she not be worried?

When I came back at some point, I was laughing and laughing as usual, Xu Xun didn't want to sweep his daughter's Xing'er too much, so he only looked at Mama Qian, and when he saw Mama Qian shaking her head slightly, her heart sank, and she couldn't rush to the Qianqing Palace for a moment and beat the emperor indiscriminately: I wrote it so carefully, why didn't I let it?

I can't see the emotions in my mother's heart, and I am still pointing fingers, saying that I have fun watching cockfighting with my father, but this time I forgot to send the letter, and it was time to go to bed, and I yawned again and again, and stretched out my hand to let the nurse pick her up, and I wanted to go back to the house directly. It was Mama Qian who stepped forward and touched the letter from her arms and sent it to Xu Xun.

'It's kind of interesting'

Zhu Pi is very simple, the sachet is the same as the last time, and it has not been returned, the emperor's attitude is quite clear: it's a little interesting, but it's not good enough, at least, it's not good enough to pass the test. As for how to pass the test, it depends on Xu Xun's own wisdom to refer to it.

Xu Xun pinched the letter paper in his hand with hatred, and said angrily, "I won't write it yet!" I'll see what he can do to me! ”

The emperor can do a lot of tricks for her, but Mama Qian didn't say a word, and waited until Xu Xun's temper was over before she persuaded, "Niangniang, this is about to be the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month......"

Xu Xun now wanted to sing a song 'On the Gold List, I Occasionally Lost the Dragon's Hope', she unfolded the letter and read Zhu Pi a few more times, and said straightly, "No, I won't write it!" It doesn't matter if he's twenty-four or twenty-four! ”

"This—" Mama Qian didn't know how to persuade her for a while. "But--it's all years-"

"So what." Xu Xun snorted, "Wasn't I sick in the first place, can he still care if I'm sick or not?" ”

She clasped her palms together, "From tomorrow onwards, let Cao Baolin and the others come over as usual, and the day after tomorrow is the time to go to the queen's palace to say hello, and they just passed together." ”

All right...... said that they were sick at the time, and they didn't ask the emperor's opinion, but now it's better, theoretically speaking, it's really nothing to do with the emperor......

She was so justifiably 'good', the second day she talked about the old days with Cao Baolin and others, and on the third day, she took everyone to greet the queen as if nothing happened.

#

Although the rules of this greeting are issued by Jingci Immortal Shixing, but because it is indeed convenient and easy to use, compared to the previous messy phenomenon of greeting An, this system is more convenient to manage, so everyone is happy to follow it over the years, these six days of big greetings, it is really full of palace concubines and concubines have reached a complete, even the inner hall can not stand, Concubine Hui and Guifei can be in the house, and some others such as Cao Baolin, Qing'er, Zi'er, Zhao Zhaorong and others, they can only ask the queen to be safe outside, and then sit in the side room, and then get up and go back. - This is when the queen comes out, if the queen does not come out, everyone will bow to the throne, and they will go back to their respective homes, and they will not stay in Kunning Palace for long.

The queen did not slack off today, she came out to meet everyone in person, and greeted Xu Xun and He Xianxian with a smile, "This winter is difficult, everyone takes turns to get sick, fortunately, when it comes to the end of the year, the three of us are fine, otherwise, the scene will feel deserted if there is no one." ”

He said, "It's a pity, after all, it can't all be good, we are all fine, but Yuan Concubine is sick again, the illness is still quite heavy these days, the high fever does not go away, and she is talking nonsense, I have sent the imperial doctor to consult her, and I don't know if she can get better before the year." ”

With so many people, it is quite normal for everyone to have a bump and a headache and brain fever, He Xianxian curled the corners of his mouth, "There are seven or eight days left for the New Year, even if it is good now, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up - I always have to recuperate for a few days before I can go out." ”

She smiled again in a small voice, "I thought she was false, and some thoughts were true, but I didn't expect it to be a real illness." ”

Xu Xun was a little unable to keep up with He Xianxian's train of thought at first, and after thinking about it, he understood: Yuan Concubine's illness began when the emperor did not favor her and turned to spoil the concubines, He Xianxian probably felt that Yuan Concubine's illness was faked, in order to seduce the emperor to visit her.

This idea may not be unfounded, but it is not appropriate to talk about this matter on this occasion - the concubines and Li Jieyu have been favored recently, and accordingly they have face and can come into the house to sit, and they live in the same palace with Concubine Yuan, and say that she is right and wrong to her face, although she is a concubine, but this face is good-looking enough. Therefore, the queen and Xu Xun didn't pay attention to these words, and the queen smiled at Xu Xun, "The concubine has been recuperating for a few days, and her face is a little rounder." ”

"I usually have errands, and I often have to go to Xiyuan, and I lose weight when the wind blows." Xu Xun said with a smile, "Now that I have been raising for a few days, I am tonic and sleeping, and I am naturally fatter--I am not a young girl anymore, this has meat, is it now on my face?" ”

In fact, she also felt that her face seemed to be a little round, but she felt that the swelling caused by the emperor had not completely faded. Xu Xun said casually, "It's Niangniang, although the illness is cured, why is the face still pointy, the cheekbones are slimmed out, and it looks a little haggard?" After illness, you have to give birth to a good life. ”

The queen touched her cheeks, but she didn't suspect Xu Xun's intentions, but sighed, "It's been a year, there are many things everywhere, and Qingning Palace has to go over from time to time, but I can't compare to you to recuperate, which of these things can be delayed here?" ”

Xu Xun could only say one thing at this time, she hurriedly led the palace concubines to sing a few loyal hymns, a smile appeared on the queen's lips, and she waved her hand again and again, "Don't be polite, how can you say it so well?" ”

She asked Xu Xun with concern, "The day before yesterday, Zhu'er came back and said that he scratched a piece of skin on his hand, and now it's okay, right?" I've already said that I'll see my sister next time and ask him to make amends. ”

Children playing, how can there be no accidents, bolt nails are long, and when fighting for toys with Diandian, I accidentally scratched a piece of oilskin, and I didn't feel wronged, Xu Xun was even more inappropriate, and said with a smile, "Niangniang is too worried, some small injuries, it's good early, Diandian is still thinking about playing with his brother again, Zhuang'er is two years younger than her, and now he can't play a piece." ”

The two talked and laughed, as if they had been good sisters for many years, and they were extremely harmonious, as for the discord, what was that? Xu Xun could feel that the eyes of the palace concubines, and even Concubine Hui, gradually moved away from her - there is no impermeable wall in the world, Yong'an Palace and Kunning Palace have passed a trick, although it is impossible to even spread the details and make up a script to preach everywhere, but on the day of the loss, the queen was not alone, Xu Xun's henchmen, the eunuchs in the imperial garden, the gatekeepers of the Qianqing Palace, and the queen's attendants...... A secret in which so many people are involved is not called a secret, and it is only a matter of time before it spreads. In addition, Mama Qian was rewarded again, and according to Ma Shi, Kunning Palace and Xianyang Palace got medicinal materials......

No matter how much information you get, the basic context can be guessed, that is, there is another battle between the two houses. Today, she came back to ask for peace, and it is estimated that a whole room is waiting to watch a play - but Xu Xun doesn't like acting for people to show the most, especially when this matter is involved, she doesn't want anyone to talk about it.

However, she still thought that the queen would say two words in her words...... The emperor sent medicine or something, after all, it was just a very vague statement, if she wanted to take this statement in her eyes, she would not be so happy to send it to the Qianqing Palace at first.

Xu Xun looked at the queen's slightly haggard face thoughtfully, and after a year or two of hard work, she finally ignited a trace of interest in the queen again-

What is the current queen thinking?
