Chapter 126: Writing Poetry
Du Yanwan nodded thoughtfully, even if a big beauty like Qi Yunxian is sick, there will definitely be many women crying and wanting to marry.
Concubine Lian listened to Qi Yunxian's words, and immediately felt distressed for a while, and glared at him, "Xian'er, what are you talking about, how unlucky it is for the New Year!" ”
Qi Yunxian smiled lightly when he heard this, and admitted his mistake: "It's Erchen's, isn't it." ”
The emperor also felt sorry for Qi Yunxian's illness, and Qi Yunxian hurriedly got married, at least he could stay behind, so he refuted Qi Yunxian's words, and also told Qi Yunxian to participate in the concubine selection banquet and not refuse under any excuse.
Qi Yunxian was helpless, so he could only nod in agreement, but he had a bitter face, thinking about how to get through the trick when the time came.
As soon as the rest of the princes heard that they were going to choose a princess for themselves, they were either happy, or they didn't have any big feelings, and after Qi Yunxian stood up, no one else stood up and said that they were unwilling to marry the princess.
Shen Mei bit her lip secretly, and her nails had unconsciously pinched into the flesh.
Now there is no princess in the Ten Princes' Mansion, everything in the Mansion is taken care of by her, and she also goes out with the Ten Princes for any activities, but if the Ten Princes marry the princess, everything she has now will be handed over. Her life in the palace will be even more difficult.
No, she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
Thinking of Shen Mei, there was a dark glint in her eyes.
The topic was quickly diverted by others, and a group of civil servants said some words praising the emperor's political achievements, and said a few good wishes for peace from all over the world, and the atmosphere at the banquet was suddenly pushed to a climax.
"Bang!"
The fireworks suddenly exploded in the air, and many people looked up at the fireworks in the sky. Du Yanwan is no exception, this ancient fireworks are not as good-looking as modern ones, but a lot of fireworks are set off together, and they look extraordinarily spectacular, and she can't help but be attracted by the scene in front of her.
The corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a smile, she turned her head to look in the direction of Zhai Yeqi, but it happened to collide with Zhai Yeqi's gaze.
The two looked at each other silently, then looked up at the fireworks in the air.
The fireworks stopped after nearly a few minutes, and the ministers said congratulatory words, and the emperor was in a mood to test everyone's knowledge, and whoever could compose a poem or a lyric in the present scene would be rewarded.
The civil servants who could serve as officials beside the emperor naturally had a little ink on their chests, and as soon as the emperor's words fell, several gray-bearded officials stood up and wrote poems.
Being able to complete a poem in such a short time naturally won the amazement and applause of many people.
The emperor also nodded and praised a few words, but he was not very satisfied.
Xu is accustomed to listening to the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu who are big names in the poetry world, and Du Yanwan also thinks that those adults are average, but it is indeed not to be underestimated that they can be made in such a short time.
After the two adults stood up, several more ministers soon stood up and read their own poems.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded his head, but he was not very satisfied, and several adults sat down a little dejected when they saw that the reward was hopeless.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I want to try it too." At this time, Wen Yirou spoke.
When the emperor heard that Wen Yirou also wanted to compose a poem, he couldn't help but look at her and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the princess, please." ”
Wen Yirou opened her mouth and said a poem, which she thought now, not good or bad, a little worse than what the ministers said before, but everyone saw that she was the princess of Zhou, applauded, and said a few words of encouragement.
But Wen Yirou didn't hear those words to encourage herself, but felt that the poem she wrote was very good, and proudly glanced in the direction of Du Yanwan, her eyes were provocative, "I heard that the county lord of Mingzhu is talented and rich in five cars, why don't you also compose a poem?" ”
Du Yanwan was suddenly pointed out by Wen Yirou, in fact, she was confused, she studied poetry and rhythm in college, and wrote a few poems to cope with homework, but after studying, she forgot about it, where did she make poems in front of so many people at this time?
I was a little panicked in my heart, but my face didn't show it at all, "Her Royal Highness the princess has an overreputation, and I don't know how to write poetry at all." ”
"Wouldn't it? Can't the county lord even compose poetry? The county lord should not be modest, just make a random song. ”
The average noblewoman in the capital, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all to learn, if Du Yanwan can't even do poetry, it is easy to be scolded for being a straw bag.
Du Yanwan knew what Wen Yirou was thinking in her heart, but she was just making a fool of herself.
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, I'll make a random one." Du Yanwan is not at all, he is a person who has memorized poems for so many years, and he can just memorize a poem at this time to deal with it.
After pretending to ponder for a while, Du Yanwan memorized a poem, which immediately attracted applause.
Wen Yirou's face suddenly turned black with anger, because she found that Du Yan's poems were better than her own, and she was easier than herself.
As soon as she thought of this, Wen Yirou was suddenly unhappy, and when she saw that many people around her were touting, her eyes were red with jealousy.
The Emperor also nodded with satisfaction, "Mingzhu is really impressive." ”
Du Yanwan's face was not red, and he thanked him breathlessly.
She didn't deliberately show off, she chose just a decent poem, and although it was applauded, it was not much different from what the ministers in front of her.
The emperor's reward was finally taken away by a minister, and Du Yanwan heard that the minister was quite famous, and she listened to the poems she composed, which was indeed very good, and she should be rewarded.
The New Year's banquet was in full swing, and Du Yan couldn't help but come out to breathe during the evening banquet.
He didn't bring his own maid, he found a palace man to ask where the toilet in the palace was, and after getting an answer, he followed the palace person's words to find it, and I don't know if it was his bad luck or a bad sense of direction, she was lost.
Du Yanwan suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and just as she was about to find a place to ask again, there was a squirming movement in her ears.
couldn't help but hold her breath, Du Yanwan lightened her breathing, and then she heard the movement in the small grass not far from her more clearly.
His face suddenly became hot.
It turned out that I was really unlucky, and I bumped into two wild mandarin ducks.
Just as they wanted to sneak away while the two of them didn't find themselves, Du Yanwan suddenly stepped on a dead branch under his feet, and Du Yanwan's expression froze with a "click".
The movement of the two of them behind the grass not far away was also a shock.
"Who?"
In the quiet night, there was a faint questioning voice from the man, and Du Yanwan heard him get up and walk over here.
Suddenly she wanted to cry without tears, she couldn't move, once she moved, she would make a bigger movement, and she would definitely be noticed, but if she didn't move, the man would definitely notice it, and maybe she would be killed when the time came.
Just when she was tangled and moving, but still didn't move, her waist was suddenly wrapped around by a hand, Du Yanwan looked around in surprise, Zhai Yeyan had already flown to the tree with her in the blink of an eye.
Almost Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian had just gone up the tree, and the man over there poked out a head and came over, and after looking around outside, he didn't find anything, and suddenly twisted his eyebrows.
The woman next to her also came over with her clothes on, "It doesn't seem like there's any movement, did you hear it wrong?" ”
The man furrowed his eyebrows, as if wondering if he had really misheard, or if someone was lurking in the shadows.
At this time, the woman seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale, "Could it be that?" ”
The man's face suddenly changed slightly when he heard this, "You don't talk nonsense here, and say something that you don't have." ”
"But it doesn't look like someone is passing by, isn't that what? It's all your fault, it's not good to choose a place, you have to choose here. The woman said unhappily.
Xu Because of what the woman said, the man suddenly became vigilant about his surroundings.
At this time, the cold wind blew gently, and the woman shook her body, as if she felt a cold hand climbing up her neck, and hurriedly said to the man: "If you want to continue to stay here, just continue to stay here, I will not accompany you." ”
With that, he put on his clothes and left in a hurry.
After the woman was gone, the man dared to walk around, and when he found nothing, he ran away in fear.
After the figures of the two disappeared completely, Du Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What was that one they just talked about?"
Hearing that the two of them seemed to be very taboo, Du Yan couldn't help but ask the people around him.
"This was once the palace of the emperor's most favored Lan nobleman."
"Lan Guiren?"
"Two years ago, Lan Guiren gave birth to a stillborn child, known as ominous, the emperor demoted the position of Lan Guiren, and also reprimanded Lan Guiren, Lan Guiren couldn't think about it for a while, so he committed suicide in his palace, and soon there were rumors in the palace that a woman in white clothes had been seen floating by in Lan Guiren's palace."
"Everyone said that it was a Lan Guiren who was unwilling to die in vain, and because he was too angry, he did not go down to reincarnate, and he wanted to stay in the palace to find the person who killed her to take revenge."
"There were more people to see, so the queen invited the senior monks of Xiangguo Temple to come to the palace to do a few rituals, trying to let the soul of Lan Guiren go down and reincarnate as soon as possible."
Du Yanwan listened to it with relish, and when she saw that Zhai Yeqi had stopped, she couldn't help but look up at him and asked, "Then what?" ”
"Then the monk came and couldn't suppress the resentment of the concubine, there were still people who saw a white shadow flickering at night, and there were several murders in the palace in a row, so the emperor decreed that the palace was sealed up, and no one was allowed to step in, because it was haunted, there was basically no one to come and go, and it was gradually abandoned."
Du Yanwan nodded, "I think there's something strange here, it's ...... in this world" Du Yanwan was halfway through speaking, and a white shadow flashed in her afterglow.
The words suddenly got stuck, and Du Yanwan grabbed Zhai Yeyan's clothes.
You won't just say it and let her run into it, what kind of luck is this?
