Chapter 3311 Chapter 3313 [Poetry and Prose Singing]
"I have never had any poetic talent. I can only write a few poems for the occasion." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Besides, poetry has been thousands of years since the beginning of the Book of Songs. Those that sing about scenery, things, and emotions. , almost all the lyrical ones have been written by the ancients. Nowadays, no matter how people write poems, they can never surpass their predecessors. In this case, it is better to hide one's vulgarity than to show one's ugliness, so I will not write poems."
"Your Majesty is too humble." Yi Huan waved his hand and said, "I still remember that when you were in the dormitory, you once wrote "Village Residence", 'The grass grows and the orioles fly in the February sky, and the willows blow on the embankment and are drunk by the spring smoke. The children are off to study. I came back early and took advantage of the east wind to fly the kites.'
I wrote in "Ode to Bamboo", "I will not let go of the green mountains, and my roots will be in the broken rocks." It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south. ’
Written in "Moss", "When the day is gone, youth comes naturally." The moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies. ’ They are all novel and popular poems, and people all over the world are rushing to praise them. "
“You remember it clearly.” Xiang Nan smiled.
“I have memorized every one of the emperor’s poems.” Yi Huan nodded.
“I’m determined.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
“Your Majesty, I have just written a poem, why don’t you give me a review?” Yi Huan asked again.
“Okay, you can write poems, so of course I want to read them.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Yihuan then took out the poem.
Xiang Nan took it and took a look, but it was a poem about lotuses, "The rain has cooled down, and the wind has stopped when the heat comes. The lotus knows my intention and looks back."
“Yes, yes, beautiful and natural.” He nodded and smiled, “Since you are so elegant, I will sing together.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am listening attentively." Yi Huan nodded and smiled.
It was always an elegant thing for literati to write poems together with each other. Now that Xiang Nan collaborates with her to write poems, this favor is naturally even more rare. After all, in the past, it was mostly ministers who supported the emperor, but there was no such thing as the emperor supporting his ministers.
I saw Xiang Nan thinking carefully for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote dots on the paper, "Red clothes are opened with both stems, and green money buys one. Don't teach that the wind and rain will pass, and the beauty will stay with you."
“Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty.” Yi Huan said happily after receiving this poem.
…
What is good above is bound to be bad below.
The story of Yi Huan and Xiang Nan's poems and essays quickly spread throughout the palace and into the government and the public.
As a result, there was a craze for daughters to study poetry at home, both in the palace and even in the families of bannermen outside the palace.
The emperor has outstanding literary talents, is rich in knowledge, and is excellent in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you only know how to knit needlework, you will not be favored by him at all. Naturally, you will have to read more poems and articles before you can fall into the emperor's eyes.
After Xiang Nan received the news, he thought it was a good thing.
Women should read more books, firstly, daily life will be more interesting; secondly, they can better support their husbands and raise children; thirdly, reading can make them wise and avoid doing wrong things.
For example, Su Luyun and Gao Xiyue didn't study much, so they were shallow and confused. Therefore, Xiang Nan was not even willing to let them have children.
Since they have no children, they can just live an honest life. After having a child, if you can't discipline it, you will inevitably have thoughts of taking over your legitimate son in the future.
When the time comes, intrigues and intrigues will be dozens or hundreds of times more dangerous than fighting for favor among concubines in the harem. If you are not careful, you will be ruined and lose everything. If father and son turn against each other, and husband and wife become enemies, it would be better to have no children at all.
…
In July, happy news came from the palace, and Yi Huan, who had just entered the palace, had already met with happiness.
After the news came out, everyone in the palace was very happy.
There has been no elder brother or princess in the palace for four years, so it is naturally not appropriate for the imperial heir.
However, this matter made Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan anxious.
Gao Xiyue has been married to Xiang Nandu for eleven years. Langya and Ruyi, who entered the mansion together, already have children. Even Zhuying, Hailan, and Wanyin, who entered the mansion later, also have children. Now even Yi Huan, who had just entered the palace, was pregnant. Only her belly had not moved for so many years, and she almost went crazy with hatred.
The same is true for Jin Yuyan. She married Xiang Nan with a political mission, and the purpose was to become a favorite concubine in order to repay the friendship of the Crown Prince of the Yu family.
But she had been with Xiang Nan for seven or eight years. Not to mention that there was no movement in her stomach, she even received very little favor.
For other concubines, they would visit them at least once a week. In many cases, the emperor would accompany them to dinner, and even when they didn't go, they would be rewarded. Desserts, tea, meals, calligraphy and painting, toys... Although they are not worth much, they are a very good thought, and she has basically never experienced them here.
So let alone helping the prince, she could hardly even protect herself.
So they all wanted to get rid of Yi Huan's child.
…
"Your Majesty, today Mr. Jia Gui proposed that Chuxiu Palace, where Mr. Shu lives, has not been painted for a long time. The color is dim and is not conducive to raising a fetus, so I want to paint it to make Mr. Shu live more comfortably." At noon, Xiang Nan and Lang Lang Hua said to Xiang Nan when they ate together.
"This is a very good suggestion." Xiang Nan was stunned and nodded, "Let's do it."
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Lang Hua nodded.
"Since it was proposed by Mr. Jiagui, let her handle this matter." Xiang Nan said, "I think she has her heart in mind, so why not give her a chance to show off."
"I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor on behalf of the noble nobleman." Lang Hua said happily after hearing this.
Jiagui has been unpopular for so many years, but now he finally got a job, which can be regarded as a turn for the better.
Although the emperor once expressed his distrust of her, Lang Hua ordered Su Lian to observe her for a long time and found nothing fishy about Jin Yu Yan, so he put down his guard against her and instead thought that Xiang Nan might be responsible for her. She is biased.
…
Two days later, when Xiang Nan came to Chuxiu Palace again, he saw several eunuchs painting it.
Seeing Xiang Nan, they all bowed down.
Xiang Nan walked over and said, "The house of nobleman Shu must be painted well. The most auspicious colors must be used to make the nobleman feel comfortable to look at and live in."
“Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best, my servants.” The eunuchs nodded together.
"Well, let me see what kind of paint is used." Xiang Nan said again.
The **** in charge of supervising the work quickly handed the paint to Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan smelled it and knew that there was something in it.
This paint is mixed with snakeberry juice, and snakes are very sensitive to this smell, and they will definitely come smelling the smell when the time comes.
At that time, even if Shu Guiren is not bitten, it will cause quite a fright.
After all, except for a few people who have preferences, most people are afraid of snakes.
Especially Yi Huan, a lady from a famous family who has been pampered since she was a child, is afraid of melting in the palm of her hand. She will be even more frightened when she sees a snake.
At that time, it may not be impossible to have a miscarriage due to fright, so be careful.
"This color is too vulgar. The nobles don't like it. It would be better to change it to lavender." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Tear off the color you just painted and change it again."
“Yes.” The eunuchs could only say.
Xiang Nan immediately ordered Li Yu, "Send someone to observe the whole process."
