In fact, we set off in the afternoon.
It’s just because the early winter poetry meeting begins when the sunset is fading and dusk is approaching.
As for why this time was chosen instead of the beginning of the day, according to Yan Ruyu, the early winter poetry gatherings have always been like this.
To this
Su Changan just muttered this in his mind.
If you want to be romantic, you have to be a scholar!
After all, the most beautiful time of the day is sunrise, sunset, or night. These three times are the best times for writing poems and reciting lyrics and being in high spirits.
I roughly understand these.
Su Changan didn't want to think about it anymore, he just looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Ming'er, do you want to try the poison?"
……
The crescent moon was curved like an eyebrow, and the moonlight fell, dotting the majestic and heavy imperial palace as if dotted with frost.
On the side of Zhonghe Hall, the second of the three main halls on the central axis, is the study room where the current empress Xia Fengxiang resides.
The study is simply furnished, with bookshelves on all four sides and a huge round dragon bed in the middle.
Apart from the empress lying on her side on the couch, there was only a female official in gorgeous clothes standing at the door. Looking at her purple official uniform, one could tell that her rank was not low.
"There's not enough paper. Bring me some more!"
The Empress ordered.
The female official immediately saluted the empress: "Yes."
Then he glanced at the paper balls on the ground, helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he still stepped back respectfully and went to get paper for the empress.
I just thought in my heart that Su Changan was really extraordinary, which made the empress so worried about him.
But on second thought, the child doesn't have any other qualities besides being good-looking and knowing some poetry, so why does the empress worry so much about him?
I don't understand.
This female official, who had spent her entire life serving in the palace, really couldn't understand the matter of love.
Could it be that the word love mentioned in the book is unknown, it has no origin, no place to stay, no ending, no trace, no end?
Snapped!
Just as the female official took two steps, she heard the empress on the dragon bed throw out another ball of paper.
The female officer looked back slightly at the empress on the bed
I don’t understand!
Looking at Empress Xia Fengxiang on the dragon bed again, she was no longer wearing the bright red dragon robe and crown she used to wear. She was only wearing a red robe embroidered with golden words. She was very angry at the moment. She lowered her head to look at the poems with the words "The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble face" that were sent to her by Old Master Su overnight.
On one side, there were several pieces of paper.
"Amazing! Su Changan! You have learned to write about beauties after leaving the palace! You actually dared to write about beauties when I was not around!! Whose beauty is this!!"
"Su Changan, the beauty you wrote about is me? Or someone else? If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will have someone arrest you and bring you to the palace right now!"
"Good! You're great! We've been together for a few months, and you didn't tell me that you could write poetry. Now that you've left the palace, you're writing about beauties, right?! You're also making delicious snacks, right?! Why didn't you make them for me?! You know I like sweets!"
"Write me a hundred poems!! Otherwise I will make you regret writing those poems!!"
"It's been so many days and you haven't even written to me! Have you been seduced by some little witch out there?! You didn't even let Yan Ruyu bring a message in!!"
"Su Changan!!!"
……
Each piece of paper looks like a letter.
There were scribbles on each letter, so it was hard to tell what was written on it, but the long ones filled up an entire sheet of paper, while the short ones only had three big characters: "Su Chang'an".
Snapped!
But the empress waved her sleeves, picked up another letter from the letters, crumpled it into a ball and threw it directly out of the curtain outside the dragon bed.
The paper ball was also successfully integrated into the other paper balls on the ground.
The empress was so angry that she kept biting her lips. She seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. The angrier she became, the more she wanted to beat Su Changan up right now!
Wow!
But it was the empress who stood up and walked down from the dragon bed.
At this time, the female official held a tray in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, the paper is here."
The Empress looked at the court lady and said, "I am going to the early winter poetry meeting tomorrow."
Hearing this, the female official immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, no."
The empress clenched her fists: "The Queen Mother will say whatever she wants, so let her..."
But at this point, the empress looked at the lady-in-waiting and shook her head, then clenched her fists again: "So annoying!!"
The female official respectfully placed the paper on the table beside the dragon couch.
After the empress glanced at the papers, she looked at the court lady and said, "I just want to beat Su Changan up, what should I do?!"
The female official was helpless, but still said: "I can tell Deputy Commander Yan and let her do it for you."
The empress frowned and shook her head: "What if it's broken? Ruyu is an eighth-grade one. Although that bastard is stronger than an ordinary person, he is still an ordinary person after all."
Then the empress simply clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "But I just want Su Changan to get beaten up! I want to vent my anger!!"
The female official remained silent because she didn't know how to respond.
after all
This was not something she could have a say in.
The empress bit her lip, her eyes were angry, but her eyes flickered, "Even if I'm so angry, I can't let that person feel comfortable!!"
Then he picked up a pen, wrote a sentence on the paper, and handed it directly to the female official: "Give it to Yan Ruyu."
The female official took it with both hands: "Yes."
The empress thought of what she had said, and perhaps she thought of the scene that Su Changan would see, or something else, the corners of her mouth rose and she snorted.
Then he opened the curtain and sat on the dragon bed again.
His eyes turned to the poems written by Su Changan.
I just calmed down a little, and now it’s back again!
My enemy!! Why didn’t you write me a song like this after so long!! You wrote so many after you left!!
I'm furious! !
Outside the curtain, the female official looked at the current empress and felt a little helpless, but she also recalled that the former empress was the same in the past.
And this look.
She looks exactly the same as the late Queen Mother, the empress's biological mother.
and
The lady remembered that the man who explained this behavior to her said, "I like him, so I don't want to talk to him about any nonsense."
Yes
She likes him (her), so she doesn't want to reason with him (her).
but.
The female official seemed to understand but not quite.
After all, he had spent his entire life in the palace and had no time to think about these things. He was only concerned with protecting and caring for the current empress.
……
Su Changan woke up the next morning.
He sneezed all night last night and happily thought he was really sick, but
well
Which bastard was thinking of scolding me in the middle of the night? It made me sneeze all night long! !
Feeling so angry in his heart, Su Changan ate three big bowls of porridge.
Then he watched the cat leave with a bunch of rouge that he didn't need anymore.
but
Su Changan caught up with Maomao again.
It's not about saving or anything.
Instead, he asked Yan Ruyu for some silver to give to Maomao.
then
The cat didn't ask for money.
Just remind Su Changan that if he was poisoned, he must bring the poisoned thing back for her to see.
Su Changan held the silver in his hand, feeling a little sad, and wondering why he made a friend who was so eager to be poisoned.
But Maomao added that Su Changan should be careful and not touch anything, and should just finish writing the poem and leave.
all of a sudden
Su Changan felt warm in his heart again.
But the cat said again, don't die.
Su Changan felt disappointed again.
I just want to say that this friendship will be gone sooner or later!
But he still forced the silver into Maomao's hands.
Su Changan was busy in the study until just before leaving in the afternoon.
It's not like I'm studying or anything like that.
