Chapter 253: There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon

Long Jiuxiao smiled: "Wu Jieyu is the emperor's favorite concubine, if you are appreciated by Wu Jieyu and loyal to the emperor, how can you fall to the ground?" If others want to hurt you, the emperor will protect you! ”

"I hope so."

The two came to the palace, this is the first time Xiao Jiading has witnessed the real ancient palace, far more majestic and gorgeous than the Forbidden City, after all, many furnishings in the Forbidden City have been removed, except for the ancient buildings, the rest are gone, compared to the palace that is living normally, it is naturally incomparable.

Xiao Jiading looked around like a diorama, and saw that all the palace maids were as beautiful as flowers, thinking that the place where the emperor lived was really corrupt, no wonder so many people fought hard to become officials and emperors.

Finally came to a palace, after Xiao Jiading entered, he found that there was no couch arranged, and he knew that he would naturally stand in the face of such a high-level royal prince, so he stood with Long Jiuxiao bowing his head beside him.

After a while, a number of people rushed in, first the palace maids and eunuchs, and then several women, one of whom was Wu Yueniang.

Wu Yueniang saw Xiao Jiading at a glance, a pair of beautiful eyes were round, and the cherry mouth opened wide into a vertical duck egg shape, and two neat rows of small shell teeth could be seen. She stammered, "You? Are you ......, just ugly? ”

Xiao Jiading's eyes fell on a noble lady behind Wu Yueniang, this noblewoman's clothes can only be described as graceful and luxurious, but her appearance is a hardcover version of Wu Yueniang, eyebrows, eyes, nose, small mouth, all so exquisite, especially those eyes. One look at it can make people freeze and keep their eyes on it.

Xiao Jiading also became this virtue, until Long Jiuxiao next to him coughed lightly. Only then did he wake him up from his dream and quickly lowered his head.

Wu Yueniang rushed to him all of a sudden, grabbed him by the collar, and said angrily: "You! Are you really that ugly bastard? ”

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice on Xianguo Island: "Miss Wu, it's me." ”

"You! You've deceived me so hard! Wu Yueniang slapped her, but Xiao Jiading grabbed her hand.

Xiao Jiading said: "I have no choice, the island is sinister, if I really get the fairy fruit, won't it become the target of everyone's pursuit?" So you can only cover up the true face. ”

Wu Zetian's voice was as soft as a spring rain class from behind him: "Yueniang." Don't be rude, sit down! ”

Wu Yueniang shook off Xiao Jiading's hand hatefully, and glared at him hatefully: "I'll settle accounts with you later!" ”

Xiao Jiading shrugged and looked at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian sat down on the bright yellow phoenix couch in the middle of the warm pavilion, and Dan Feng looked at Xiao Jiading with an indescribable taste: "Can you tell me about your affairs?" ”

Xiao Jiading bowed down and said everything he could say, of course, he didn't say anything like crossing over and worshipping Leng Xue's master as a teacher.

Wu Zetian listened quietly, and after listening, he nodded. said: "The King of Shu once mentioned you to me, and he also intended to protect the media, but unfortunately ......" Speaking of this, her face was a little gloomy. After listening to it for a while, he changed the subject, "I've read all your poems, and they're very good." See you today, can you also write a poem, let's see your ability to become a poem in seven steps? ”

Xiao Jiading had already expected this. said calmly at the moment: "Please ask the mother to ask the question." ”

Wu Zetian saw that he didn't shirk at all, he was straightforward, and he was even more surprised, nodded slightly, groaned slightly, and said: "You have the matchmaker of the King of Shu, and you happened to meet Yueniang to save her, and you also made a marriage contract with her." So there was no problem with your marriage. However, I want to see what kind of emotions you have for Yueniang, so you can use this as a topic and write a poem. ”

Xiao Jiading's mind immediately came up with countless poems describing the love between men and women, among which there are really many classic songs. Which one to use?

First of all, you can't express your admiration too directly, because there is an eldest grandson Yanran behind, she is not easy to coax, if she writes a lascivious poem like a pig brother here, and it reaches her ears, this little vinegar jar must not fall out with herself? His grandfather, the eldest grandson Wuji, knew that he was such a strange person, and he must look down on himself, and it would be miserable.

Secondly, he can't talk about him left and right, and if he uses an innocuous poem, he won't be appreciated by Wu Zetian.

In this way, the best choice is the hazy one, which is like this on the left and like on the right, and everyone can make different interpretations of the poems, so that they can also leave a way back for themselves.

When I think of ancient hazy poetry, the first thing that comes to mind is the great poet Li Shangyin, some of whose poems are not clear what he is talking about. The explanations of famous poets in the past dynasties are different. The most typical is his "Jin Se". And this one, among them, there is a bright moon, which can be put on Wu Yueniang, and there are things like longing and infatuation, of course, as a love poem.

Although a considerable number of people in later generations believe that this poem was written to Li Shangyin's deceased wife and is a mourning poem, but it is a combination of Li Shangyin's life experience.

Time was pressing, and there was no time to think about it, Xiao Jiading began to pace, and the direction he was walking in was a yaoqin placed on the wall. After walking seven steps, he has reached the side of the piano, raised his hand to stroke the piano, and slowly chanted:

Jin Se gratuitously fifty strings, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian.

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.

Can this be recalled? It's just that it was already clear at the time.

After listening to this poem, Wu Zetian and Wu Yueniang were stunned for a moment, and lowered their heads to think about the meaning of the poem. After a while, Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "You read it too fast, please write it down." ”

Immediately, a palace maid brought a few cases and put away the four treasures of the study. Xiao Jiading wrote this poem. Holding it in both hands, it was sent to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian stretched out his hand to pick it up, and Xiao Jiading saw her pair of slender and soft, slender and soft, crystal transparent, deceiving frost and snow. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder I was fascinated by the emperor, he was really a stunner in the world.

He just blinked his eyes, and then lowered his head, for fear that people would notice him looking at Niangniang's hand, which was disrespectful.

Wu Zetian slowly appreciated it, and handed it to Wu Yueniang. After reading it, Wu Yueniang read it, just like many people in later generations read this poem. Confused.

Wu Zetian smiled, looked at Xiao Jiading and nodded slowly: "Very good, this palace is very satisfied." ”

can have this sentence, Xiao Jiading's heart is put down.

Wu Zetian said: "Since this is the case, when the palace reports to the emperor, the emperor should agree, so let the Ministry of Rites arrange the marriage." Your position will also be reassigned. ”

Xiao Jiading was neither humble nor arrogant, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

Wu Yueniang's pretty face was flushed, like a colorful sky, and she pouted and said to Wu Zetian: "Sister! I haven't asked him a lot yet. Why did you agree to the marriage! ”

"It's a kiss, you ask slowly." Wu Zetian smiled.

Wu Yueniang's pretty face was even more crimson, she turned her head to look at Xiao Jiading, and when she saw him looking at herself with a smile, she glared at him fiercely: "No!" You come with me! I'm going to ask you! ”

Xiao Jiading clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry! Miss Wu, Niangniang just said, after we get married, you are slowly asking, I dare not disobey Niangniang's will. ”

"You!" Wu Yueniang stomped her feet and turned her head to look at Wu Zetian. "Sister! He, he bullied me! ”

"It's good if you don't bully him! Princess Gaoyang is just because she is too domineering, does not respect her husband, and acts recklessly. It has come to an end today, and you should take it as a warning. ”

"How can my sister compare me to that slut!" Wu Yueniang snorted and said to Xiao Jiading: "By the way, what about your dowry?" You don't mean that you just agree to the marriage. Will you offer a rare treasure as a dowry? ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Of course, since the mother has agreed, I will go back and present the dowry immediately." But there is one thing that needs to be clarified. It is this dowry because it is a rare treasure, and there is only such a one in the world, so it can only be dedicated to Jieyu Niangniang. ”

Wu Zetian is the emperor's favorite concubine, and thousands of people are favored by one person, what treasures in the world have not been seen? Xiao Jiading is a little dress, what kind of gift can he come up with? Not only did he purse his lips and smile, but he nodded: "Thank you so much!" ”

Long Jiuxiao sent four internal guards to accompany Xiao Jiading back to get the dowry.

Xiao Jiading returned to his residence and took a fairy fruit. He still had a total of four immortal fruits in his hand, and although this immortal fruit had been stored for so long, it had always been fresh and had not deteriorated.

He packed it in a brocade box, held it in his arms, and returned to the palace.

Wu Zetian was very curious, what kind of treasure did Xiao Jiading take as a tribute to his sister as a dowry, so he waited with Wu Yueniang.

Finally, when Xiao Jiading came back.

Xiao Jiading respectfully placed the brocade box in front of Wu Zetian and opened it gently. A fresh fragrance wafted in the room, which was really refreshing.

"Immortal Fruit?!" Wu Yueniang was pleasantly surprised, she had eaten fairy fruits, and she had eaten a little more than two, she was too familiar with this taste, she stretched out her head to take a look, and sure enough, it was the fairy fruit on Xianguo Island that bloomed every thirty years and fruited every thirty years!

Wu Zetian heard his sister's words, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, as a woman in the world, what she was most worried about was the loss of her youth, as long as she could keep her youth, she was willing to pay any price, this time Xianguo Island was looking for Xianguo, she sent an army of 1,000 people to go, but unfortunately most of them died at the bottom of the lake, and the last people who came back said that they landed on Xianguo Island, but they encountered a strong enemy, and finally encountered a volcanic eruption, so Xianguo was buried on Xianguo Island. I didn't expect this inexplicable clinging clothes, but he took out such a fairy fruit.

Wu Zetian carefully picked up the immortal fruit and looked left and right: "Is this really an immortal fruit?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yueniang and Xiao Jiading said in unison. Wu Yueniang said again: "Originally, we had already picked the immortal fruit, but then it was snatched away by those two Heavenly Supremes and Heim. Unexpectedly, it fell into his hands. - Hey! Tell me honestly, how did you get it? What about the remaining three? ”

"Three left?" Wu Zetian frowned slightly, Wu Yueniang and they came back, and they didn't say that they had picked the fairy fruit.

Wu Yueniang stuck out her tongue, and briefly told what had happened, but she didn't say that the five were eaten by them, which was absolutely impossible to say, but that they only had time to pick four, and the remaining five couldn't be picked in the treetops, and the strong corroded lake eroded the fairy fruit tree. The remaining five fell into the corrosive lake and melted.

Xiao Jiading listened to her make it up like this, which was exactly what he wanted, and he naturally wouldn't say it.

After listening to Wu Yueniang's explanation, Wu Zetian looked at Xiao Jiading. There was an inquiring look in his eyes. Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "Miss Wu is telling the truth, that's it. When they left with the boat, I stayed behind in order to block the Heavenly Supreme and the Sea Boss. In order to survive, I lied to them that I had hidden those four fairy fruits. So they asked me to lead the way. On the way, the Supreme ate three of the four immortal fruits that day, leaving only one. At this time, the volcano erupted, Hai Laomu ran away, and the Heavenly Supreme was washed up into the sky by the air waves, scalded to death, and the remaining immortal fruit on his body happened to fall beside me, and I got it and escaped from Xianguo Island. That's it. ”

After hearing this, Wu Zetian nodded, and said: "It's rare that you value Yueniang so much, and you can take out this fairy fruit as a dowry, this is really a rare treasure, I am very satisfied." Thank you! ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said that you are not welcome, it should be, but he muttered in his heart, it seems that Wu Zetian doesn't seem to believe that the remaining immortal fruits were eaten by the Heavenly Supreme, this is troublesome, the remaining three immortal fruits will be eaten when they go back? Or do you want to hide? If it is found, it will be really troublesome. But I've already eaten it, will it be a waste to eat it again?

He thought about it in his heart, but his face did not show any flaws.

Wu Zetian said: "When you went back to get this fairy fruit just now, I have reported to the emperor, the emperor agrees with this marriage, I heard that you are proficient in criminal law, and you are the deacon of Yuan Shao in Dali Temple, so I remind you to let you try the case of Fang Zhi's love and rebellion, and you can't let go of a sinner, nor can you wronged a good person." ”

Xiao Jiading said in his heart: The emperor wants to protect Li Ke and their uncles and nephews, but it is in vain, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water. But he agreed repeatedly.

Coming out of the palace, Xiao Jiading has been thinking about how to tell the eldest grandson Yanran about it.

At this time, he didn't know that the eldest grandson Yanran in the Prime Minister's Mansion had fallen out with his grandfather.

Who is the eldest grandson Wuji? He had already installed some eyeliner in the palace, so the news that Wu Zetian married his sister to Xiao Jiading immediately reached the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Xiao Jiading was single-handedly promoted by the eldest grandson Wuji, he already regarded Xiao Jiading as his own person, and now when he heard that Wu Zetian wanted to marry his sister to him, he immediately saw this incident as the emperor weakening his own power and winning over the people around him.

The eldest grandson Wuji will not let go, not only because of Xiao Jiading's personal talent, but more importantly, it is related to his face, so he decided to interfere in this matter. Just as he was about to enter the palace to talk about it, his granddaughter, Sun Yanran, came to him. (To be continued......)
