The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 462 Poems
That night in the Qianqing palace, when Wanyu entered the bedroom after taking a bath, she saw the emperor sitting cross-legged on a warm seat under the water chestnut window, with a smile on her face.

Wan Lai approached the emperor, and the fragrance of fresh flowers on her body brushed his face.The emperor immediately recovered his concentration, looked at her carefully, and smiled even more: "This battle, which has been fought for seven years, is finally over."

Wan Lai smiled and sat beside the emperor, and saw that the emperor had changed into Longyou Jiutian's pajamas, which were slightly faded and wrinkled, so while arranging the pattern of the pajamas, she said: "The emperor's pajamas are old. My concubine chose a new date, how about I change it with you?"

The emperor rested his chin with one hand, with a gesture of reminiscence, he let out a short breath, and sighed: "This is the pajamas that Shuyu wove for me when she was pregnant with Yinfeng. I think of Wu Sangui's rebellion in the past, and I was busy with the previous court." I neglected Shuyu who was pregnant, and I didn't regret it until she died of dystocia and collapsed. Now that the war is settled, I think she can feel a little more at ease under the nine springs."

Looking at the emperor's eyes with a slight glint of sadness, Wan Yu secretly sneered in her heart.

If you have the heart, this pajamas are suitable for wearing every day, and you don't have to take them to remember on the day when the war is settled, but it seems that you have given yourself an explanation, so what does it have to do with the old people?

She shook the emperor's warm hand, and said, "Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao know each other, so I am naturally pleased."

The emperor held Wan'er's hand instead, and gradually exerted his strength: "In this way, I know the truth of cherishing the people in front of me. Wan'er, I am very grateful for your company for so many years. With you by my side, many things, even if Sorry, I don't think it's that hard anymore."

Wan Yu lowered her brows and eyes a little shyly, gave a faint 'hmm', and quickly said: "It is the emperor who is accompanying the concubine."

Just as they were talking, someone from the palace bowed their heads and entered the room, offering a roll of stencil paper with dragon patterns sprinkled with gold powder, a Bi Songhua River stone peach-style inkstone, and a white jade tube with buckets of green hair and a pen on the table.

That's all for the rest, the pen, ink and inkstone were originally used by the emperor, so it's not unusual for Wan Lai to be used to seeing them.

It's just that this gold-sprinkled stencil with dragon pattern is really rare. This paper has two sides, which can be written on.

One side is a gold dragon pattern printed in positive red, which requires a skilled craftsman to outline and describe it stroke by stroke.It takes no less than three days to get a piece of paper.

The other side is a finely sprinkled gold surface.

And because the whole paper is covered with powder wax, the ink does not smudge, so it is an excellent paper.The production of folk powder wax is scarce, and this stack of paper is probably worth ten thousand gold.

The emperor didn't speak, and began to write freely on the paper with ink on the paper and pen.

Wan Lai leaned next to him, closely watching his vigorous pen and ink.

"The road to Kunchi in the Erhai Lake is difficult, and Jieshu arrived in Chang'an in the middle of the night. Weijin dry feathers and three seedlings, and he was happy to conquer Liuzhaokuan. At the end of the day, he closed the golden horse pass, and the army newly relieved the iron clothes. I think about it for a few years. I hope that the misery of the people will end."

She read the poems written by the emperor, and said with a light smile: "The emperor is very interested."

The emperor wrote, carefully looked at the poem, was silent for a moment, frowned slightly and said: "A war is a happy event, and I always feel that there is something missing."

"Let's have a look." Wan Lai moved closer to the emperor, so that the emperor hugged her on his shoulders, and tasted poems together.

Suddenly, pointing to the last sentence, he said in a gentle voice: "The end of Wanmin's misery still reads like a bit of sadness."

The emperor smiled heartily, took the imperial pen and handed it to Wanyu: "Change."

Wan Yu smiled, thought for a moment, and followed the last sentence with a beautiful handwriting, "This day, we will be happy with all nations", then looked at the emperor happily, and asked: "What does the emperor think?"

The emperor clapped his hands and smiled, and nodded again and again: "The road to Erhai Lake and Kunchi is difficult, and Jieshu arrived in Chang'an in the middle of the night. Weijin Ganyu Sanmiaoge, Zhaxi was happy to conquer Liuzhaokuan. At the end of the day, Jinma Pass was collected far away, and the army newly untied iron clothes Cold. Thinking back for a few years, I have been anxious and tired, and today I am happy with Wan Guo. Very good, very good!" After reading it, he laughed, and hugged Wan'er even tighter in his arms: "Let Wan'er draw up a name. ?”

Wan Lai hung the pen in the air, without writing a stroke for a long time, just pushed the paper towards the emperor, and said with a smile: "the emperor writes poems, how can there be any reason for the ministers and concubines to name them? Could it be that the historian records that this poem should be written The person added the name of a concubine or a concubine?"

He laughed: "Write it as soon as it is written, and the official historian will record it in the future. Later generations will know that Niu Hulu Wannai is my most beloved concubine. How good is that?"

Wanyu refused to comply, but the emperor insisted again and again, so Wanyu had to write down the word "Dianping"① in the book.

"During the Warring States Period, Kunming was the territory of the Dian Kingdom, so the word 'Dian' was used as another name for Yunnan. Now that San Francisco is in chaos and Yunnan and Guizhou have been recovered, what does the emperor think of such a proposed name, which is concise and to the point?"

The emperor was overjoyed, tapped Wan'er's small nose lightly with his fingertips, and said with infinite love: "Wan'er thinks it's good, it's excellent!"

It's night, there is no wind at night, and the tent is warm in spring.

In the winter of this year, the Forbidden City was extremely lively.

On the second day, Wanyu returned to the palace in the pepper-flavored sedan chair bestowed by the emperor.

Everyone knows her holy grace, but she can't figure out what the so-called holy grace is.

Perhaps, it was just because of his inadvertent words that 'ke' killed Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, Wan Yu smiled wryly.

Rong Yue's fall from favor was expected, last night after attending bedtime, the emperor also mentioned that after conferring meritorious service in the previous dynasty, he would confer the glory of the Six Palaces.

Considering that Rong Yue's mother's family has made great contributions in quelling the war, the emperor is very likely to choose her as the new queen because of the previous affairs. If so, if he wants to check and balance Rong Yue, it is not like a dream to avenge his relatives ?
Yun Chan seemed to see Wan Yu's mood, so she said: "Your Majesty is overhearted, I will see, this next emperor cares more about your Majesty."

Wanyan sighed, and said with a dazed smile: "How could the emperor allow the twin sisters of Niu Hulu's family to have two queens together? Even if he wanted to, the criticism from the previous court would not be listened to."

Shuangruo Yibi chose the dead leaves of Anshen grass to sew a sachet for Wanlao, Yibi thought about it and replied: "Actually, the empress does not need to worry too much, there is the imperial concubine above the left and right concubines. Depending on what position the empress gets, as long as the imperial concubine does not After becoming a successor, we will still have a chance."

Wan Lai frowned slightly, and said: "I'm afraid that Tong's family is just like the old queen, who had a lot of plans in the previous court. If there was no eldest sister in the past, this queen would already be in the purse of the noble concubine."

Yun Chan thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly: "It's a pity that we can't find the fault of the imperial concubine. Although she has a vicious mind and has done all kinds of evil things, she is extremely meticulous and never misses a single mistake."

Shuang Ruo stopped working hard for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't Concubine Hui and Concubine An exhausted all their tricks in the past, but what kind of end did they end up in the end? It can be seen that the old man often said, 'There is no harm in walking by the river all the time. Wet shoes', is perfectly justified."

Wan Yu glanced out of the Ling window, seeing the first snow of this winter.

A piece of plain white, dotted on the red bricks and green tiles, it is very eye-catching.

She took the Xueding black tea from the table, skimmed off the tea foam and took a sip slowly, said coldly: "It's such a cold day, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will feel bad."
