Ling'er taught everyone to practice martial arts, and Concubine Wen also danced lightly with the sword for a while, drank a glass of chrysanthemum rose honey water, and read the book leisurely.

Concubine Wen once instructed the inner supervisor to bring over the poems that Emperor Xu had studied, and she also appreciated it herself, and this time she gave a copy of "Selected Chu Ci".

"Those who bathe must play the crown, and those who bathe new will shake their clothes."

Concubine Wen thought inexplicably, this Doctor Qu Yuan is really, isn't this nonsense?

Just when Emperor Xu returned from martial arts, Concubine Wen asked eagerly: "Brother Xu, can you tell me about Qu Yuan's intention to write this poem?" ”

"Okay, I'll tell it to the concubine and the princess, and in the future, I will learn more about the poems and stories with a light style, and it is better to leave such worries about the country and the people to me and my ministers."

"Hooray, that's true!"

After Qu Yuan was exiled, he wandered among the rivers and lakes. He walked and sang along the water's edge, his face haggard and his body withered. When the fisherman saw Qu Yuan, he asked him, "Aren't you the Sanlu doctor?" Why did it come to this point? ”

Qu Yuan said: "All the world is dirty, only I am clean, everyone is drunk, but I am sober, so I am banished." ”

The fisherman advised: "A person who is well-versed in affairs is not obsessed with the objective situation, but can change with the changes of the world. Since the people of the world are filthy, why don't you add fuel to the fire or go with the flow? Since everyone is drunk, why don't you drink the juice too? Why do you want to worry about the country and the people, to be different, and to be exiled? ”

Qu Yuan said: "I have heard this saying: people who have just washed their hair must flick the dust off their hats, and people who have just taken a bath must shake off the mud on their clothes. Where can a white body come into contact with dirty foreign objects? I would rather throw myself into Xiangshui and be buried in the belly of a fish and turtle in the river, where can I let something like jade be contaminated with worldly dust? ”

The fisherman smiled slightly, slapped the board of the boat and walked away from Qu Yuan. The mouth sang: "The waves are clear, you can use it to wash my hat; The waves are turbid, and they can be used to wash my feet. He left and stopped talking to Qu Yuan.

After hearing this, Concubine Wen frowned, as if she was about to wring out the water, and sighed: "I can't imagine that the dirty world can kill people, but if it were me, I wouldn't kill myself." Why not be a hermit? Spend a lifetime in the company of lush forests, bamboos, and hundreds of birds, Dr. Qu Yuan, the name of the poem is immortal, but he is short-sighted, which is really a failure in life. ”

"Aifei, I can't imagine that you have another insight." After that, I'm busy going to court.

Concubine Wen felt that it was really boring to read a book alone, so she told Qiu Ye to call the eighth sister.

"Wang Sunxi has returned, and he can't stay in the mountains for a long time." (Note: Come back, O king and grandson, the mountains are dangerous and you can't stay for a long time!) Wang Sun: For people who live in seclusion, "in the mountains" means to retreat to the world, and the whole poem has the meaning of calling for "going out of the mountains and entering the world". ﹚

After Concubine Wen and the eighth sister discussed this poem, Concubine Wen sighed and said: "It's useless to be a scholar, it turns out that Qu's predecessors know too much truth, the left is also difficult, the right is also difficult, and I hurt myself. It is no wonder that he is obsessed with cutting himself off. ”

"Turbid and unclear, cicada wings are heavy, and thousands of jun are light; The yellow bell was destroyed, and the tile kettle thundered; The gluttonous man is high, and the wise man is nameless. (Note: Mixed with 'mixed', the wings of the cicada are regarded as heavy, and the weight of 30,000 catties is regarded as light, which means that right and wrong are reversed, and the truth is confused.) ﹚

After the sisters read it, the eighth sister also felt the same way, and sighed: "It's a pity that such an outstanding minister doesn't understand the saying that 'heavier than Mount Tai is lighter than Hongmao', why bother to 'cicada wings are heavy, Qianjun is lighter." 'Yikes. ”

"If Dr. Qu doesn't commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, how can there be a Dragon Boat Festival in the future?" The eighth sister cross-examined.

"I'd rather not have this festival, I would rather lack the joy of this dumpling dumpling." Concubine Wen was straightforward.

The queen felt that she was always being snubbed by Emperor Xu, and she simply let her splendid flower branch enter a dull twilight year in advance, racking her brains all day long. One day, she accidentally found a book of the deep palace, and after thinking about it, she spent a lot of money to ask the Jianghu warlock to secretly refine the "incense pill".

On a dazzling afternoon, she personally came to "care" for Concubine Wen.

"See the Queen." Concubine Wen said cautiously.

"No courtesy, sister, you are not in good health, so you don't have to be polite."

As soon as she entered the palace, the queen asked mysteriously, "Sister, have you ever studied spices?" ”

"Even if my sister has some research, she doesn't dare to enjoy it, you see my dormitory, the ground is all sprinkled with dried roses and dried osmanthus, these natural spices are safe for the princess, for the sake of the emperor's safety."

After hearing this, the queen still did not give up, drank away all the maids and inner eunuchs, and whispered softly: "It is said that the reason why Zhao Feiyan is favored is that in addition to her natural beauty and transcendent dancing skills, she often takes a medicine called 'fragrant muscle pills'. This medicine is a honey pill made from 60% rose petals, 30% Korean ginseng and 10% deer antler velvet. The Zhao sisters not only took it for a long time, but also stuffed it into their own navel. This does play the purpose of youth, so that their skin is like coagulated fat, and their whole body is fragrant, so that Emperor Han Cheng is like a demon who can't extricate himself, and I spent a lot of effort for it. In the same way, if Concubine Wen's sister can also emulate the 'strange fragrance to confuse the master', then she will be able to get Emperor Xu's favor even more, sister, do you say yes? ”

Concubine Wen thought to herself: Nothing to be courteous, what is not what is it, who doesn't know? But she didn't want to expose it on the spot, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, you are too good to your sister, but you must know that Emperor Xu likes 'Tongxin and Fragrance', this kind of incense pill, I don't know if Emperor Xu is used to it, even if it is tea before going to bed, as long as he is not used to it, he will resolutely not drink it." Okay, please give it to me, thank you sister! ”

"Remember to hide it in the phoenix body as soon as possible." Before leaving, Liu Meiren gave a meaningful advice.

Concubine Wen estimated that the queen had gone away, and hurriedly sent Imperial Physician Li to tell him to distinguish whether this incense pill had musk or the like, Imperial Physician Li did not dare to slack off, and immediately ran back to the Imperial Hospital, closed the door, and threw a few incense pills into a pregnant white rat cage, and in less than half an hour, the poor white mouse had been 'separated from the pearl clam 'bead and mussel', and a puddle of blood the size of a palm was dripping on the ground, and it was not long before he died.

Imperial Physician Li was shocked, and he wanted to convey this terrible news to Concubine Wen as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the queen's absence, Imperial Physician Li reported the appraisal results to Concubine Wen one by one, and Concubine Wen suddenly felt that this deep palace compound was so terrible, and it was no longer a holy land in the world. From ancient times to the present, how many confused beauties who have been dazed all day long have died at the hands of powerful and resourceful concubines.

At night, Concubine Wen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and Emperor Xu asked strangely: "Concubine Ai, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"The queen has done something very inauthentic, should she say it?"

"To be tolerant of the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, love the concubine, if you don't say it, you will commit the crime of deceiving the king."

Concubine Wen had no choice but to tell the matter, and Emperor Xu was furious and said, "After boldly poisoning, I dared to mutilate the royal bloodline, without thinking about my feelings and sisterhood, tomorrow, I will be decisively abolished." ”

"It's all because the concubines are not good, what kind of poems with dark styles I read early this morning, no wonder this kind of thing happened."

"Ai Concubine, don't take everything on your head, the survival rule of the royal family is to help each other and be friendly to neighbors, Yuan Zhi Lilan, you can be fragrant, if you are a narrow and vicious person, I will never spare it!"

"As a woman of the royal family, it's so hard." Emperor Xu hugged the frightened Concubine Wen tightly, like a considerate brother.
