Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tell me about the South
"A hundred flowers smile and a pretty peony, and the flowers are graceful in April. Compete for the beauty of the heavenly fragrance book elegant rhyme, spring colorful dance. Photo by the master of Peony Raider, Dancai is abundant and passed down from generation to generation. The color photos come to the picture on credit, and the heart is sweet. Brother Emperor, this poem is not bad. After reading the poem on the peony map, the second prince Junzi Qian thought it was very good.
"This poem is good, but it is less than half of the second brother, among our brothers, the second brother's poetry is the best, and even the master praises the second brother." The eldest prince Jun Tianyou is not as good as the second prince and the second prince in poetry, so he casually praised the second prince and the sixth prince Jun Mo Ran are on the same position, all hoping that the great prince Jun Tianyou can inherit the throne.
The fourth prince, Jun Qi Ming, was most unaccustomed to seeing the eldest prince and his gang proud, and said casually: "The eldest brother and the second emperor brother also let me see, whether this poem is really as the eldest brother and the second emperor brother said, it is generally less than half of the second emperor brother, seventh brother, you can also come and take a look." ”
"Coincidentally, I also want to see it, and the fourth brother called me." The Seventh Prince Jun Jinghuan is in the same faction as the Four Princes, so the Four Princes Jun Qi Ming shouted, and the Seventh Prince Jun Jinghuan hurriedly walked over.
"Seventh brother, when I wait for the younger brother, I will also take a look at this poem with the fourth brother and the seventh brother, which is less than half of the second emperor brother." Although the Eighth Emperor Jun Qianfan seems to be from the Four Princes faction on the surface, he does plan for himself secretly, but the Eighth Emperor Jun Qianfan is too scheming and has never revealed it in front of everyone.
"Hey, this painting is a good painting, but this poem, the eldest brother is not the emperor's brother, I won't give you face, where is this poem worth half of the second emperor's brother, this is not even one-ten-thousandth of the second emperor's brother." The fourth prince Qi Ming said with the intention of not letting the eldest prince Tianyou be wishy-washy.
"Yes, not to mention that this poem is compared with the second emperor brother, even I, who is scolded by the master every day, can't compare." The Seventh Prince, Jun Jinghuan, said with an exaggerated look.
"Although this painting is not as good as the masterpieces of the royal brothers, it is much better than my poem." The eighth prince, Jun Qianfan, said with the intention of flattering both sides.
"Eighth brother's poem, the eighth brother's poem is also good, how can this poem be compared with the eighth brother's poem." The fourth prince Jun Qi Ming said.
"That's right, Eighth Brother, don't belittle yourself." The Seventh Prince, Jun Jinghuan, put his hand on the Eighth Prince's shoulder and said, looking bohemian.
At this time, the faces of the eldest prince have changed, in fact, only the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming does not make trouble, and the matter is settled, but the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming just ran out to make trouble, not only came out to make trouble himself, but also took the seventh prince Jun Jinghuan, which made Gu Junnan, who wrote this poem, look very ugly, Gu Junnan is a very stingy person, so he can't help but hate the eldest prince Jun Tianyou, the second prince Jun Qian, the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming, and the seventh prince Jun Jinghuan, but he has a good impression of the eighth prince Jun Qianfan who said good things for himself. This is the purpose of the Eighth Emperor Jun Qianfan, and he quietly made Gu Junnan have a good impression of himself.
"Okay, okay, you brothers, don't make trouble, all the ladies, sons, and young ladies are here, and they are not afraid of being laughed at." The queen couldn't stand it, and let the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming and the seventh prince Jun Jinghuan continue to say this, I am afraid that my heavenly blessing will be hated by the person who inscribed this poem, although it is not drawn into her own camp, it can't pull a hate, so the queen quickly stopped, and then pointed to a pear blossom picture and said: "You look at this pear blossom picture as if it is real, the poem on it is also well, this palace looks at it, it is better than your brothers, look at it quickly." In order to prevent the four princes and the faction of Jun Qi Ming from making trouble again, the queen praised the poem together, after all, it doesn't hurt for the princes to fight with each other, but the princes can't fight with the queen.
"It's the queen mother." All the princes silently looked at the paintings and poems.
"God bless the poems on these paintings selected by the palace to read to the palace." The queen walked to her phoenix chair and sat down, then pointed to a few paintings.
"Yes, Queen Mother." The eldest prince Jun Tianyou picked up the pear blossom picture that the queen had pointed out first and read: "The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are dark green, and the catkins are full of flowers when they fly." Melancholy is a snow plant in the east column, and life is clear. ”
Then he took a painting of lilacs and looked at the poem on it and read: "The lilac body is weak, and the branches are still matted." The thin leaves are hairy, and the flowers are sparse and gorgeous. After planting a small fast, it is close to the secluded people. In the late fall of the blue musk deer, Hugh cherished the thought of powder. ”
"The begonias were full of red branches the day before yesterday, and they were fluttering in the sky overnight. How many glorious horses pass through the gap, and Mojiao is easy to bear the east wind. "This is a poem on a painting of begonias.
"The flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse hedge is interesting. I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown into the north wind. "The last poem is about calendula, naturally it is a poem on a marigold painting, and after the prince finished reading the poem, he put the painting away.
"Princes, tell me which of these paintings and poems is the best." After the queen finished speaking, she looked at her son Jun Tianyou.
The eldest prince is the boss, so he was naturally the first to speak: "This peony picture is the best, but if you want to talk about poetry, Erchen's favorite is this one: the flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse hedge is interesting." I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown into the north wind. ”
"Qi Ming, you can also talk about it." The queen naturally crossed the second prince Jun Qian, and said to the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming.
As for the poem, Erchen and the eldest brother agreed, and also felt that the flowers did not bloom and the flowers were thick, and the independent sparse hedge was interesting. I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown into the north wind. This poem is very good. When the fourth prince Jun Qi Ming said that he also liked this poem, the queen was unhappy, and her son was naturally the best, but it was not allowed to be liked by others.
"Qianfan, what do you think?" The queen then asked the eighth prince Jun Qianfan.
Erchen thinks that this begonia painting is very good, and he also likes the poem on the begonia painting: The begonia was full of red branches the day before yesterday, and the sky was fluttering overnight. How many glorious horses pass through the gap, and Mojiao is easy to bear the east wind. "The Eighth Emperor Jun Qianfan deliberately said the paintings and poems he didn't like, but in fact, he also liked the flowers and flowers, and the independent sparse hedge was interesting. I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown into the north wind. This poem, but it can't be expressed by itself.
"Zhinan, don't stand still and don't speak, tell me what you like." I have always disliked Empress Qianfan, the eighth prince, but the eighth prince Jun Qianfan is very familiar with current affairs today, but it also makes the queen feel more comfortable.
The Nine Emperor Princes Jun Zhinan didn't expect the queen to ask herself, because all the previous banquets, he and the tenth brother were ignored by the queen, but today the queen mentioned herself, I don't know what it means, the eighth prince Jun Zhinan couldn't figure it out, but still replied to the queen and said: "After returning to his mother, the sons and daughters like this pear blossom picture very much, this one on the pear blossom map: the pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are dark green, and the catkins are full of flowers when they fly." Melancholy is a snow plant in the east column, and life is clear. It's also excellent. ”
"Your brothers' opinions are different, this palace is a little difficult, I don't know who will be elected to the top of the day." The queen seemed to be really embarrassed.
"Our brothers all talk casually, as for who can be the first, or the queen mother has the final say, the royal brothers all say whether it is or not." The eldest prince naturally protects the queen, so he looked at the princes and said for the sake of being the boss.
"What the eldest brother said is that we just mentioned it casually, so naturally we don't count." The fourth prince, Jun Qi Ming, can only say this no matter how much he hates the queen in his heart, who makes his mother concubine just a concubine, not as noble as the queen.
"Then the palace is in charge." After the queen said a word, she looked at the painting very carefully before saying: "The first one in the painting is the begonia, but the poem is a little difficult to decide, but since Tianyou and Qi Ming both said: The flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse fence is interesting." I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown down the north wind 9. This poem is good, so let's choose this one, what do you think? ”
"The queen mother's choice is definitely the best." All the princes said.
"Since they have all been elected first, let this palace see which young lady and son were elected first, so that this palace can reward you." The queen motioned to the Yuan Nei attendant to take down the paintings and put them away, the situation in the imperial garden today is already in her heart, as for the marriage, you really can't be in a hurry, let it be carefully planned, it is best to find a few more help for your son.
"Xia Xuan, the daughter of Xia Yuanhang, the right governor of the Inspectorate, has seen the queen's mother, and returned to the queen's mother, this picture of begonias is made by the courtiers." Xia Xuan was dressed in a light-colored Luo skirt with silver filigree edges, and a water-fug. colored gauze with a manly waist, and a long skirt with violet painted hibiscus trailing the waist and shaking sleeves. With a slight smile, a pair of young and ignorant spirit beads, smooth like pearls, clear eyes like a stream under the ice, not stained with a trace of dirt in the world, long and dense eyelashes, slightly upturned like a fan, small and good-looking nose, a pair of soft and slender white skin, the elegant orchid embroidered at the cuffs is lined with ten fingers like shaved onions, and the pink lips are shining with crystal color, and the light curve is bent out of a very good-looking arc. Ruyu's earlobes have a light blue tassel pendant, which is light and light, and can dance slowly with a little wind.
"The grass people have seen the queen mother, this one: the flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse hedge is interesting. I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could he have blown into the north wind. It was written by the grass people. "Zhou Rongxuan wore a dark color straight-placket robe, the drape of the clothes was very good, and the waist was tied with a wide belt of ink-colored auspicious cloud patterns, and only a piece of white jade with excellent jade quality was hung on it, and the shape seemed rough but simple and depressing. The black hair is crowned with a silver hairpin, and his eyes are full of ambition.
