Chapter 36: Han Wenya's intentions

It is not difficult for He Ruge to read poetry books to compose poems, she wrote them after thinking about it for a while. A talented woman is temperamental, neither humble nor arrogant, nor stage fright. The queen took the poems written by the ladies and read them one by one, and the ladies below couldn't help but be a little nervous. Some want their poems to be appreciated by the Queen Mother, and some are afraid that they will be punished by the Queen Mother if they don't write them. The queen is also a person who has experienced the world, she took out three of them and handed them to the queen mother after reading them one by one.

"How about the Queen Mother, look at these poems?"

The Queen Mother took it and looked at it: "This poem is well written, it was written by He Ruge." The font is strong and powerful, quite masculine, and the whole poem is also rhyming and symmetrical. If you write well, you will be rewarded. ”

He Ruge stood up and knelt on the ground and bowed his head: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

"Get up, this kid is good, young and talented."

"Yes, Miss He has the reputation of a talented woman."

"No wonder."

"And this plum song is also well written, and the spirit of Ling Han blooming alone in plum blossoms is written."

"I like it too, and Han Zijin also appreciates it."

Tang Han knew that his poems would not be too bad, after all, they were written by the ancients. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother would say it in public.

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager, the reward of the Empress Dowager."

"There is another one is Han Ningxue's poem, the three of you wrote it well today, and the mourning family also felt comfortable after reading it. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send the bounty silver, and the three girls have it. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Okay, let's take a look at it, and the mourning family will go back to the palace to rest first."

Everyone saluted and sent the Queen Mother away. Then the queen also left, leaving a group of young ladies and eunuchs and maids in the palace. Now they have nothing to fear, and they can speak freely. Some young ladies can't eat grapes and think that grapes are sour: "Oh, people can write poems, but we don't have this ability." ”

"Yes, people will please the Queen Mother."

"You can't say that, you can't write, people can't write."

"That's it, what's wrong with the talented girl, jealous?"

"Who is jealous, what is jealous of her, what is the great thing about being able to write poetry."

"It's that people can't afford it, you're amazing."

"Hmph, let's go."

He Ruge, Han Zijin, and Han Ningxue didn't say anything. Han Wenya also stood aside, waiting for the two to leave before saying, "Eldest sister." Second sister, let's go too. ”

"Well, second sister, your poem today is good."

"It's the queen mother who carries her love, and my sister's is good."

"What's the matter, the second sister shouldn't be modest."

"That's right, second sister, have you been secretly studying during this time."

"I read some books."

"I'll just say, you didn't like to read before, how can you suddenly write poetry."

"Now I feel that reading more is not a bad thing, and I can read books when I have nothing to do, maybe my mind is calm."

"Second sister, you can't look at me, and I can't read as well as you."

"Sister, don't be disappointed, everyone has their own strengths, and you have many strengths."

"Really?"

"yes."

As they spoke, they arrived at the place where the palace maid had arranged for them to rest, and the three of them were in a courtyard, one room for each of them. Tang Han looked at the furnishings in the house, and it was simple and generous. Han Wenya also came over to take a look. "Our houses are pretty much the same," she said. ”

"Second sister, is that Miss He also resting in this courtyard?"

"Really?"

"Well, just now I saw the palace maid take her into a room next to her."

"Oh."

"Second sister, you can rest, I'll go back too."

Han Wenya lay on the bed and cried after she went back, just now her two sisters were rewarded by the Queen Mother, but she didn't.

At noon, a palace maid asked them to go to dinner, or the queen mother sat on it, and they all sat on both sides. In front of each person there is a table with several delicate dishes on it. The Queen Mother spoke, and they dared to move the chopsticks, Tang Han sat in a position that was more distant from the Queen Mother, just enough to eat to their heart's content, so they didn't have to worry about the Queen Mother seeing it. She tasted each dish and then began to eat it officially. was eating energetically, someone brought another plate of shrimp, Tang Han looked up and saw everyone looking at her.

Then I heard the Queen Mother say: "I see that the shrimp in front of you have been eaten, I asked the palace maid to bring you some more, is it delicious in the cabinet today." ”

Tang Han was embarrassed: "Empress Dowager Xie, today's food is exceptionally delicious, and you can't usually eat such a good taste in the house." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie loves love, my second sister also loves to eat these at home, and she eats very happily every time. It's not like we have to pay attention to the image rules. ”

Han Wenya clearly thanked the Queen Mother for her reward, but secretly said that she could eat and did not pay attention to her image. Tang Han didn't say anything after hearing this, and smiled.

After listening to it, the Queen Mother discovered the meaning of Han Wenya's words, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "Don't be pretentious, you can eat what you want, and you don't have to care about these in front of a group of women." ”

Han Wenya's face changed slightly, but then she smiled and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”

"Eat them all, and eat more if you think it's delicious."

Tang Han looked at the Queen Mother and smiled awkwardly.

After the meal, another young lady played the piano for the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom, and she also worked hard to listen to the sound of the piano. Those who have talents want to go up and show it, how can Han Ningxue fall behind. She also played the first famous song with the pipa, everyone applauded, Han Wenya sang a song, but unfortunately her timbre was generally not too brilliant, and the limelight was covered by He Ruge's singing. He Ruge has the appearance of a Jiangnan girl, coupled with a good voice, Tang Han is attracted to as a woman. The Queen Mother was really very happy, clapping again and again, saying yes, singing well. Today's most prominent person is He Ruge, and for a while, Miss Beijing probably knows her name.

This time, the schedule to enter the palace was over, and the three of them stood at the gate of the palace waiting for the carriage in the palace to pick them up. He Ruge walked out from behind and also stood next to him, waiting for the carriage.

"Miss He, is she also waiting for the carriage?"

"Yes."

"We're also waiting for the carriage in the house."

Han Wenya's face work is good, and she hates the greetings on people's faces with smiles.

At this time, a noble carriage came out of the palace, they stood to the side to make way, and sitting in the carriage were King Duan, Xiao Yixuan, and King Rui. King Rui looked outside and just saw them: "Hey, look outside, look outside." ”

Duan Wang's tone was not good: "What's the matter?"

"Look, beauty, the three young ladies of the Han family, and the young lady of the He family who just went to Kyoto."

"Lord Xiao, don't take a look."

"I heard that today, Han Zijin's poem was praised by the Queen Mother, and she was rewarded with silver."

"By the way, there is also Han Zijin who loves to eat shrimp, and the shrimp in front of her was eaten up, and the Queen Mother asked her to send another plate. Her sister also alluded to her that she didn't pay attention to her image and could eat, and you said that it was funny that their sisters were still so dismantled. ”

Xiao Yixuan just glanced outside, there were indeed four women, two of them were dressed very plainly, He Ruge was indeed good-looking, but he saw Han Zijin at a glance.

"Hey, what's more, that He Ruge is a talented woman with a good voice, I heard that the Queen Mother likes her very much. Today she was envied by the young ladies in the audience? ”

"Really? It's okay to be long. Lord Xiao, do you think so? ”

"The prince's vision has always been good."

"If you don't look at it anymore, you won't see it right away."

People close their eyes and pretend to sleep. King Duan stopped talking. Only King Rui is still rambling: "Han Zijin has really become better-looking?" ”

"Don't you two feel it?"

"Tell me, don't fake sleep."

"I said you two are too boring."

"What do you mean by the Queen Mother letting them into the palace this time?"

"Maybe it's for you to choose a daughter-in-law."

"What the hell."

"They don't know who they're going to point it to. Brother shouldn't be you, you're all three women. ”

King Duan seemed to have stepped on the scales: "You give me a side, don't talk about any more women." ”

"I don't believe you won't fall in love with a woman in the future."

"Say it again."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll shut up. Don't let me say pull down, one or two false seriousness. ”
