Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Wenchen will be like the beginning of spring, into the new poems, for the palace people to stick on the emperor's bedroom and the ladies of the pavilion on the door of the tent, the spring word is called the Royal Spring Post or Spring Post, and the Dragon Boat Festival word is the Dragon Boat Festival Post.

Three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Empress Cao laid out the posts of the ministers in the Rouyi Palace, summoned the harem concubines and princesses into the palace to watch the evaluation, and distributed it to everyone.

The princess read it, and then asked the queen with a smile: "Whose post do you think is good?" ”

The queen's eyelashes lowered slightly, as if her eyes were sighing: "Fan Xianggong and Su Zimei are not here this year, so naturally Ouyang Xiu is outstanding." ”

She meant that the absentees were Fan Zhongyan, the former governor of the political council, and Su Shunqin, the former supervisor of the Jinju Academy, the Dali Commentator, and the Jixian School Administrator, both of whom were brilliant poets. Fan Zhongyan actively implemented the new policy during the years, and also intensified the party dispute between the DPRK and China, and was dismissed and exiled one after another along with Du Yan, Han Qi, Fu Bi and other ministers who presided over the new policy. Su Shunqin was originally recommended by Fan Zhongyan, although he was not a powerful minister, but he was a young man who could write articles, and his poems were famous all over the world. In the autumn of last year, the Concert Academy held a shrine competition, and Su Shunqin followed the previous practice to use the money from the sale of the old papers of the Concert Hall to hold the banquet guests, but was impeached by the Imperial History of the Cheng Wang Gongchen and others on charges of self-theft, and was finally expelled and suspended.

At present, there is naturally no shortage of exquisite works and exquisite posts in the Dragon Boat Festival, but most of the content is flattering words that praise merits and virtues, and there are fewer poems that are missing Fan Xianggong and Su Zimei. Looking at it one by one, it is indeed the most outstanding of the straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and Ouyang Xiu of the right right. He is listed with Cai Xiang, Yu Jing, and Wang Su, and is one of the four major officials who are highly used today.

"Ouyang Xiu? I remember him. The princess pointed to one of the posts and said, "I know his words." Last time at the beginning of spring, my father held a post of the imperial spring and read it repeatedly, I liked it very much, and I asked who wrote it around me, and I heard that the author was Ouyang Xiu, and my father ordered someone to take all the posts he wrote for the various pavilions in the palace, and read them carefully one by one, and let me memorize them, saying that the articles have intentions, and do not forget the rules and regulations, and they are really worthy of being the ministers of the attendants. ”

The queen smiled, looked at the post that the princess was referring to, and then picked it up and looked at it carefully, looking very emotional.

I looked up behind her, but saw that the post was written for the emperor's pavilion, and the poem said: "The state of Chu has been expelled from Qu Yuan because of slander, and he has not re-entered the monarch's gate for life." I hope that because of the horn and the customs, you can learn from the former king's clever words. ”

When the princess saw that the queen was so interested in this post, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked her, "What's so wonderful about this poem?" ”

"Oh, nothing. The handwriting on this post is very well written, so I read it a little longer. The queen didn't explain to the princess in detail, put down the post gently, and asked the princess kindly: "Huirou, which one do you like?" ”

"Daddy will definitely ask me this question when he comes back, so I chose the first short, easy to memorize." The princess smiled and pointed to a poem by Ouyang Xiu's Queen's Pavilion and read: "Jiao Tu Cheng Maowu, concubine Fan Rouyi." It is also a pro-silkworm cocoon, and sewing is the life-sustaining silk. ”

After reading it, he took another one, handed it to Miao Zhaorong, and said, "Sister, okay with this?" ”

That one was written for the Lady Pavilion: "The fairy pan is cold and pan with the Milky Way dew, and the fan incense shakes the green wind." There should be no heat in the forbidden house, and the Yaotai Jinque Water Spirit Palace. ”

Miao Zhaorong also said yes, and said with a smile: "After reading this word, I really feel that my body is cool, and I don't have to drink ice." ”

The queen took the opportunity to give her the post, and then continued to distribute the post to the concubines. Zhang Meiren has been depressed for the past few days, she didn't come over in person, and the queen didn't ask much, so she chose a few pictures and ordered someone to send them to her.

The last to receive the post were two beauties with faces. Miao Zhaorong didn't recognize it, so he asked the queen: "Are these two ladies new to the palace?" ”

The queen said, "Not bad. They were sacrificed by the Duke of Qi, hoping to serve the official's family for a long time and be the heir of the emperor. The official family has been taken in, but the name has yet to be agreed. ”

Miao Zhaorong stepped forward, took the hands of the two little ladies and looked at them carefully, praised them repeatedly, asked their names, and withdrew the two Dragon Boat Festival five-color acacia cords on their wrists for them to wear. The two beauties excused, and Miao Zhaorong said with a smile: "It stands to reason that when I first see the two younger sisters, I should prepare a generous gift, but I met by chance today, and I didn't prepare for it, so I had to ask for this acacia to you and ask for good luck." If my sister doesn't accept it, she must not be able to look down on my little courtesy. ”

The two beauties then accepted the acacia rope. When the rest of the ladies saw this scene, they also came over to give them meeting gifts. The two little ladies were a little flattered, but they were full of energy and joy.

I didn't want to talk to my sisters and sisters, but I saw Wang Zhaoming, a close attendant here, hurrying from the Chongzheng Palace, and said: "The official family of Shicai instructed that Wang De should use the money of each of the women he entered to pay 300 yuan, and immediately leave the palace from the inner east gate without delay." ”

The people in the temple were amazed. The queen was also quite surprised, and asked: "Why did the official family pass on this message?" ”

Wang Zhaoming said: "Wang Su of the Zhiyuan knows about Wang De's use of the woman's mouth, and today the gentleman admonishes him, and the official must return the little lady of the Wang family." The official replied that the women were already close to him and served by his side, and then tentatively asked Wang Su if he could let him keep them. Wang Su said with a straight face: "The ministers are afraid that Your Majesty will be close to them, so they want to talk about it." The official didn't say anything more, called the ministers over, and ordered the ministers to come quickly to pass the word of mouth, asking the two little ladies to leave the palace immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, the official's tears fell. ”

When the ladies heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, and they were a little gloating. The queen was still like that, she couldn't see any emotion when she was silent, and she said after a moment: "The official thinks that what the minister said is reasonable, but there is no need to give an order so quickly." Why don't you go in the forbidden place first and send them out slowly? ”

Wang Zhaoming replied: "Wang Su also returned to the official family like this, but the official family said that although he is the emperor, his favor is no different from that of the people. If you enter the inner palace first and see the little ladies crying and unwilling to leave, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear to drive them out. ”

The queen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, got it." ”

As soon as the two beauties heard this, they knew that Zhaoyang Road was broken and they were about to be driven out of the palace, so they immediately burst into tears, and repeatedly kowtowed to ask the queen to leave them.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaoming urged: "Please send them out of the palace as soon as possible." The official family also asked Wang Su to wait in the Chongzheng Hall to hear the news, and the minister saw that they were gone before he could go back to report the news. ”

The queen bowed her head and called Ren Shouzhong. Ren Du knew that the queen would speak again, and she had already given an order, and let people drag the two beauties out.

After a while, Mr. Zhang, the inner east gate, sent the inner servant to report that the second daughter had left the palace, and Wang Zhaoming returned to the Chongzheng Palace to resume his life. Everyone waited for a long time before they saw Jinshang coming back slowly, with a sad expression and tears in his eyes.
