Chapter 6 Chrysanthemum Appreciation

Su Ruhui was thinking of ideas quickly, but the Empress Dowager Jiayi seemed to be interested, and turned her head and instructed Qi Yundao: "Could it be that there are two talented and good-looking children in Renshou Palace today, and they will take two copies of the Chengxintang paper and incense ink to reward them." ”

Qi Yun agreed, turned around and went to fetch things in person.

Chengxintang paper and incense ink are all royal things, extremely precious, this is a great decency, and the queen mother's tone cannot be refused, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yier had to kneel down to thank you.

The Queen Mother shouted with a smile, and looked at Zhou Yi'er again: "I don't know who the teacher in your boudoir is, but if you look at the queen, you will know that the literary style must be good." It's this painting, Su Wanhai is a horse for the country, loyal, but when he was a child, he heard that he was going to fall asleep when he saw a book, and Guan Xianghou's painstaking teaching at that time was fruitless, but he didn't expect Guan Xianghou to think about it, but it should be on his granddaughter. ”

Guan Xianghou is Su Ruhui's grandfather.

"The courtiers just followed Xue Nushi and read a few words, but they didn't dare to praise the queen mother." Su Ruhui was embarrassed, but the Queen Mother smiled and said: "It is worthy of being Xue Zidian's apprentice, but it is modest and tight, but although Xue Zidian is a woman, her name is also the best in the imperial capital, and even you, a proud disciple, only know a few words, do we still have a talented son and a talented woman in Dayong?" ”

For a while, the grandmother and the palace maid next to her laughed together, and they all said that Su Ruhui was humble.

Even Zhou Yi'er didn't know the truth, and said with a sweet smile: "Yesterday I lived in Lumingtai with Sister Su, and she didn't show her mouth at all, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother to mention it, the courtiers didn't know that Sister Su's master was actually the female Shi Xue Zidian!" ”

Su Ruhui just wanted to be stunned at the moment, and sure enough, after laughing, the Queen Mother mentioned: "I heard that the chrysanthemums under the Luming stage are blooming, can you see them?" ”

"Exactly, speaking of which, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her grace, if it weren't for the Queen Mother letting the courtiers go to live in Lumingtai, I wouldn't have seen the splendid sea of flowers." Zhou Yi'er saw that Su Ruhui didn't speak, so she hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother wants to go and take a look?" ”

Su Ruhui's eyes closed, and the Queen Mother smiled: "Oh? Is it really that magnificent? Then the mourning family will go and have a look, and by the way, it will be appropriate for Qi Yun to arrange a place for you to live. ”

"Queen Mother, since the two young ladies are talented and good-looking, it's too tasteless for us to go to appreciate chrysanthemums like this." At this moment, Qi Yun led people back with a reward, and when he heard the words, "It's better to be like this, the queen mother and the slaves and maids, please ask the two young ladies to write a few poems, and let's also get a touch of books!" ”

The Queen Mother naturally nodded in agreement.

"The courtiers obey the order, but the courtiers are dull, far less than the queen's mother, and they will be ugly for a while, please don't blame the queen mother and grandmothers!" Zhou Yi'er got up and saluted, pursed her lips and smiled, "And Sister Su, don't laugh at me!" ”

The corners of Su Ruhui's mouth tugged, and she prayed sincerely in her heart that she would be able to remember Master Xue's mention for a while, so she could make up a few words to meet the situation.

The Queen Mother has Youxing, and she is only in Renshou Palace, and the palace is naturally prepared quickly.

The two chatted with the Queen Mother for a long time, and then a slave maid came to tell her, saying that Luming Taizhong had cleaned up a high pavilion with the best location, and asked the Queen Mother to move.

Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui have already seen the scenery of Luming Terrace, but the Queen Mother watched it under Luming Terrace for a long time, and said with emotion: "Since the first emperor went, the mourning family has lived in Renshou Palace, but I never knew that the autumn colors under this Luming Terrace are so gorgeous. ”

Qi Yun observed the words and looks, and hurriedly said: "At that time, the emperor was young, and the queen mother worked hard for the sake of the society, and worked day and night, except for the Detai Hall and the sleeping palace, she had never even set foot in the imperial garden, so she had no time to come here. Now that the emperor is an adult, and he is wise and resolute, the queen mother no longer needs to work hard for His Majesty day and night, and the scenery that she missed in the past is not all made up for now? ”

The left and right immediately said that the Queen Mother had worked hard and made great achievements, and Zhou Yier and Su Ruhui also couldn't stop praising them.

The Empress Dowager Jiayi finally smiled again, and went up to the high pavilion with the support of Qi Yun, this pavilion was built on the Luming platform, specially appreciating chrysanthemums, looking down from the pavilion, full of wantonness, brilliant as gold, brilliant as the sun and moon, indescribable gorgeous atmosphere.

Even Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui, who thought they had seen Lumingtai Juhai, couldn't help but hold their breath and felt shocked.

"Come on, the pen and ink will be spread first, and after a while, the two young ladies will have poetry first, and the slave maid will help to ask the queen mother for reward." After serving the Queen Mother to sit down, Qi Yun flicked his sleeves and commanded with a smile.

Immediately, several clever palace maids moved two rosewood cases in the open space in the pavilion, and took good rice paper and spread them, and pressed them with green jade paperweights to prevent the wind from blowing away from the heights. Two pretty palace maids stepped forward and took a cigarette ink and grinded it finely.

The Queen Mother sat on the edge of the pavilion and looked down at the sea of chrysanthemums, and said with a slight smile: "Generally, I watch two children compose poems, how can I spend money on mourning families, Qi Yun, you are also their elders, shouldn't you give some greeting gifts?" ”

"Two young ladies, look, the slave maid hasn't helped you get a reward, but the queen mother has asked for benefits for you and the slave maid first." Qi Yun pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, after a while, which young lady's poems are good, the slave maid will make a set of embroidered clothes for her." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said to the two: "Thank you Mama Qi for it, her embroidery is said to be the second in the palace, and even the Shangfu Bureau doesn't dare to recognize the first, but Mama Qi's shelf is very big, that is, the mourning family, and she wants to wear a dress from her hand from beginning to end, and she has to wait and wait." Now that she has promised such a benefit, it seems that the Zhai clothes of the mourning family are going to drag on again. ”

Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui hurriedly knelt down to excuse themselves, but Qi Yun smiled and said, "How dare the Queen Mother's Zhai Yi slave and maid delay?" The set of Zhai clothes had already been embroidered, and it was just a matter of checking the stitches. The Queen Mother was relieved to make a set of embroidered clothes for the young lady, and she couldn't wait for the Queen Mother. ”

"Since Mama Qi is so confident, you have to pay attention to Mama Qi's dress, and now in this palace, only the queen got a set back then, and it was still worn at the wedding." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

Zhou Yi'er's eyes immediately lit up: "It turns out that the phoenix robe at the queen's wedding was from Mama Qi?" Although the courtiers have never seen it, they heard her mother mention that the phoenix robe is gorgeous and dazzling, and the phoenix on it is lifelike, almost wanting to fly out! ”

"The Queen Mother and the young lady have praised it falsely, the slaves and maids are dull, except for a little bit of needlework, everything else is useless." Qi Yun said politely with a smile.

"You and Ru Hui are all the way, obviously the female red crown is the imperial capital, and you know a little bit about what you say. Ruhua is also, a disciple of Xue Nushi, actually said that he only recognized a few words! The Queen Mother scolded with a smile, "Ruhua, when you come to the cabinet, you should have some sentences?" It's better to write it first and take a look. ”

Su Ruhui took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "Don't dare to hide it from the Queen Mother, seeing Your Excellency Juhai, the courtiers do have two sentences, but they haven't finished yet......"

"Alas, it's not the top student in the Hanyuan Palace, what are you afraid of?" The Queen Mother smiled indifferently, "When the mourning family was young, they often danced with their sisters in the family and made ink, so they only knew a few words, and most of the things written were boring and shallow, and I thought it was good when I was born, until I ...... after entering the palace."

She looked at Su Ruhui with a smile: "What do you get, write it and see." ”

Su Ruhua saluted first, slowly walked to a rosewood case, and took the purple hao full of thick ink from the palace maid.

Zhou Yi'er on the side was extremely curious and watched intently.

Female history Xue Zi dark, she is extremely famous, she was the only daughter of Xue Bai, the former Hongru Xue Bai, Xue Bai is known as the best in poetry and painting, and is the leader of the literary world. He only has a daughter under his knees, Xue Zidian is very fond of him, and when Xue Zidian and Xuan, Xue Bai wants to choose a good son-in-law for his daughter, who expected Xue Zidian to rely on his talent, thinking that no one in the world can match him, so he refused to marry.

This incident shocked the imperial capital ten years ago, and even the inner courtyard of the deep palace had heard about it. At first, everyone laughed at Xue Ziyan and a woman, so rampant! There were even many self-proclaimed scholars who came to the door angrily to question, who knew that these scholars who came to the door left in shame after reading a few articles from Xue Ziyan's hand in the Xue Mansion.

It wasn't until later that the matter intensified, when it was a new department, Gu Taiyi, the champion of the opening department, was provoked by his companions after drinking, and entered the Xue Mansion angrily, but was stumped by Xue Zi's ten pairs. Since then, the name of the female history Xue Zidian has been spreading.

Legend has it that Xue Ziyan was enlightened at the age of three, able to write at the age of five, recited poetry at the age of six, and wrote at the age of nine. In Gu Taiyi's words, the so-called amazing talent is nothing more than yes.

Therefore, when I heard that Su Ruhua studied under Xue Ziyan, everyone was looking forward to it.

Su Ruhui pushed the gold silk bracelet in her right hand upward, she was originally wearing half an arm, but there was no need to roll up her sleeves, and Zihao made a rustling sound when it fell on the good rice paper. There was silence in the high pavilion for a while, and everyone was optimistic about what she wroteβ€”
