Chapter 458

Du Guiyi moved her family away from the Divine Capital early, so she has never participated in or heard of the poetry club that has only become popular in the Divine Capital in recent years.

As soon as the poetry meeting was mentioned, Xiao Muxue suddenly became energetic.

She was beaming with joy, and she chatted with Du Guiying endlessly.

"Yes, Sister Du doesn't know something. This poetry meeting was led by Wen Xinhou. At first, it was intended to promote Confucianism, recruit learned people from all over the world, open up new ways of speaking, and make friends through literature. Gradually, there are Women who are proficient in poetry and calligraphy have emerged at the poetry meeting, so it has evolved into an annual literary event."

Lin Youyi, like Du Guiwen, had never been to the poetry meeting held by Wen Xinhou.

Therefore, when she heard what Xiao Muxue said with such interest and relish, Lin Youyi couldn't help being moved.

"Second Sister, I heard that the poem at the top of the list has not been surpassed by any masterpiece so far! Moreover, that poem was written by a woman!"

"Yes, yes! A song "Two Lovesickness", the road is full of parting! It's a pity, the beauty is unlucky, and the wisdom will be hurt!"

"Why... that woman who wrote poetry has passed away?"

"You don't know?"

Lin Youyi shook her head tightly.

In the previous life, she was trapped in Xiao Yu'an's backyard, and everything she heard came from Xiao Yu'an's mouth.

"About four or five years ago, Concubine Yan died of dystocia and hemorrhage, and she was posthumously named Concubine Yan by the emperor after her death."

"Concubine Yan? Is she... the emperor's concubine?"

As soon as Xiao Muxue finished speaking, Lin Youyi and Du Guiwen exclaimed in unison.

For a moment, the three girls in the house, you looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.

Xiao Muxue looked at the two people in front of her, all acting like she didn't know anything, and she spoke with more enthusiasm!

"Yes, Concubine Yan's father was originally a teacher, and was later invited by General Xue to the mansion to teach the children in the mansion. At that time, Miss Yan went to deliver medicine to her father every day. I saw the right eye with the second son of General Xue!"

Xiao Muxue's words made Du Guiyi and Lin Youyi couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

However, Xiao Muxue didn't care and continued talking.

"However, this girl Yan's background, although she can be regarded as a Xiaobiyu with an upright family style, but it is fine to be a concubine for the Second Young Master Xue, but if she is a regular wife, she is not from the right family after all!"

That Yan girl is stubborn, even if she fell in love with Xue Ershao, she would never be a concubine for others!
She once swore that she would not marry Xue Ershao in this life!
But if she can't be married to Second Young Master Xue with a regular marriage and eight sedan chairs, she would rather comb herself than marry herself, and never compromise and humiliate her family tradition!

Moreover, Second Young Master Xue also did not want to wrong Miss Yan in his heart.

At that time, there was a catastrophe in the Northwest, the people rioted, and the nomads outside the border were also ready to move. They would attack the border towns from time to time, burn, kill and loot!

Xue Ershao heard the report from the Northwest, and immediately asked the emperor for an order to go to quell the chaos and pacify the people.

He originally thought that after the great victory, he could use this to ask the emperor to give him a marriage.

Miss Yan is also waiting and looking forward to it.

However, no one thought that after Second Young Master Xue left, he never came back!
After Miss Yan heard the news of Second Young Master Xue's death, she fell seriously ill and almost died!

After recovering from her illness, she was haggard and disfigured.

However, there is Gao Tang, Miss Yan can't let her parents send a white-haired man to a black-haired man, so she didn't go with Xue Er Shao.

"The next year, Ms. Yan made this song "Two Lovesickness" to express her condolences."

"Hey, God is not beautiful!"

Du Guiyi sighed in fear and compassion.

Lin Youyi asked closely.

"In this case, how did she become the emperor's concubine?"

"Isn't it the fault of the song "Two Lovesickness"! The emperor saw this poem somewhere, and heard about the matter between Miss Yan and Xue Ershao. Maybe it was out of curiosity, the emperor summoned him Miss Yan. After that, Miss Yan was canonized as Yan Jieyu! About a year later, Yan Jieyu became pregnant. Who knew..."

Xiao Muxue hesitated to speak, but Lin Youyi and Du Guiwen were both confused.

"You're not clear about what you said! That girl Yan was still devoted to Xue Ershao until her death, how did she become the emperor's Jieyu after entering the palace? This... this is too bizarre, isn't it?" !"

"Are you stupid? Secrets of the palace, you ask me, who should I ask? That's all, I overheard it when I visited my aunt in the palace! I heard that Concubine Yan is a taboo in the palace, and no one will Don’t dare to mention it lightly.”

Lin Youyi and Du Guiwen looked suddenly enlightened, but they couldn't help feeling a little bit lost.

After all, listening to this story always feels like it has a head but no tail, like a thorn in the throat!

Du Guiwen asked with frowned eyebrows.

"I'm really curious now, what kind of heart-wrenching and weeping verse is that "Two Lovesickness"?"

"I know this! Wait!"

After Xiao Muxue finished speaking, she asked her servant girl to prepare her pen and ink, and after a few clicks, she silently uttered the song "Two Lovesickness".

Du Guiwen picked up the paper and read it slowly.

"Looking at the distant mountains and rivers with dry eyes, how much do you know when you go back and forth? Hu Kong is afraid of drinking a glass of wine, and it is difficult to write a rhyme. Silence, the husband recalls his wife and the father recalls his son."

"It's because I'm ignorant and ignorant! But this poem... sounds mediocre, and it can't be considered a peerless sentence! Moreover, no matter how I listen to it, I feel that this poem is more like it was written by a man. It’s all about missing my wife and my children.”

"Fourth sister, you're only right about one thing! I'll mention you one more thing, this is a palindrome poem!"

"Palindrome?"

Lin Youyi became interested in an instant, took the paper from Du Guiyi's hand, and read aloud.

"Son recalls father, wife recalls husband, lonely and long vigil, lamp lonely. Late return to send geese without news, long parting away from people and roads. Poetry rhyme is difficult to write, and the wine glass is afraid of empty pot. The bosom friends have seen each other once, and the water is separated by mountains. Dry eyes."

"Good poetry! It's really good poetry! It's mediocre at first, but it's shocking and touching!"

Du Guiwen gave a sincere admiration.

Xiao Muxue also nodded repeatedly.

"Palindromic poems are inherently extremely difficult, requiring poets to conceive cleverly. This poem is so strange, whether it is read along or backwards, it is an independent poem by itself. Moreover, The whole story has neat antithesis, harmonious rhythm, and emotional echo. Such a poem, just one piece, is enough to enshrine the gods!"

Lin Youyi looked at the song "Double Lovesickness" in her hand, and couldn't help sighing softly.

"Now I probably know why Miss Yan became the emperor's concubine!"
