Su Changan immediately said: "You can tell from the poems!"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, but didn't say anything exciting.
Lian Wei continued: "It has been found out that it was written by the palace maid named Qu Hongye."
Xia Fengxiang handed the maple leaf in his hand to Su Changan, and then said: "You handle your matter."
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang clearly separated their work, and ever since Su Changan took over the affairs of the harem and some queens, Xia Fengxiang had completely ignored those matters.
Mainly because I find it troublesome, and I can't keep up mentally. Finally, I don't want Su Changan to be so busy every day, otherwise he will get angry if he sees it!
After taking the maple leaf, Su Changan smiled helplessly, but did not say anything more. He looked at Lian Wei and asked, "Where is he?"
Lian Wei replied: "Sun Shanggong and Manager Hongshu are asking questions."
Su Changan heard this, looked down at the poems on the maple leaves, and said, "Bring it first."
Lian Wei clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Su Changan continued to look at the maple leaf in his hand.
The poetry itself is just good, not something that can be passed down.
If the poem is translated, it is: "I was sitting next to the creek, as bored as ever. I could only feel lonely and lovesickness, and I was envious of the maple leaves rippling and drifting like boats in the creek." ’
Therefore, Su Changan, who suddenly understood the meaning of the poem, came up with the words "This girl is very lonely".
But if you look carefully, it is a poem about loneliness, but
It's like telling others that what you look like now is like...
to chat with?
When Su Changan was thinking this, Su Waner and Su Zhaoxin looked at the red leaves curiously.
Su Changan smiled and put the maple leaf on the table. Su Waner immediately understood it and came over to look at it. Su Zhaoxin naturally did the same.
But Su Zhaoxin was confused.
But Amelia Su understood it all at once, thoughtfully.
Soon.
Sun Shanggong, Hongshu and others all came.
Naturally, Qu Hongye came with him.
After bowing, Hongshu looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang and said respectfully: "This slave is not disciplined well, please punish me by your majesty and empress."
Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything.
Su Changan smiled and said: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I read the content of the poem, and it doesn't seem like much, but what is the matter?"
Hongshu was a little frightened when she heard this title, but when she was about to say something, Xia Fengxiang said directly: "The title doesn't matter, let's talk about the matter first."
Hearing this, Hongshu immediately saluted, then glanced at Qu Hongye, who had a downcast expression. After sighing, he looked at Su Changan and explained what he had just learned.
I discovered this piece because of the female ghost incident that caused a lot of fuss today.
No matter what the truth is.
Yan Ruyu, who heard this, naturally did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the emperor and the empress were both there.
As a result, someone can appear silently at night. Whether it is a person or a real female ghost, you must check it carefully.
Yan Ruyu even sent a pigeon to her mother Yan Yunxiao just in case.
After all, what could be so silent, so that she was not aware of it, and even the Huanglong Guards were not aware of it, could only be the existence of the End.
And of course, it also includes checking on Qingquan Mountain, including going to Qingquan Town below.
Originally there were no clues, only what the palace maids said about seeing female ghosts.
But in the creek channel where there were many branches, someone from the Chixia Army picked up this leaf and gave it to Yan Ruyu.
Although Yan Ruyu didn't understand the content of the poem, even Wei Wei and the others could see the meaning. But the emperor and the empress were here, and something like this appeared. There must be no code words, and there was something about the female ghost last night. Son.
With the previous assassination, I had to be cautious.
So, I checked it out.
Then Qu Hongye was found.
Qu Hongye also said it directly without any concealment, saying that this was hers and that she started writing it half a year ago. Because she had nothing to do in the palace, she wrote poems and put them next to the creek. , let it drift with the tide.
But a few months ago, she saw a maple leaf in the creek, floating upstream from outside the palace, with poems written on it, and it was a response to her previous poem.
So Hongye wrote another song and sent it out.
Unexpectedly, after a while, there was another response.
After coming and going, there was a matter of red leaves spreading poems.
It only takes a few days to reply with poems, and sometimes it takes more than ten days, so until now there are only a few maple leaves.
When he heard this, Xia Fengxiang, who originally ignored it, put down the book in his hand and looked at Qu Hongye, obviously feeling interesting.
Su Changan was naturally surprised as well.
After all, this is like a pen pal.
Moreover, the way these two chatted was both Maple Leaf and Xiaoxi, which was really interesting.
When Hongshu was talking about this, Sun Shanggong on the other side took the maple leaves and presented them to Su Changan.
There are five maple leaves in total. One of them is yellow and cracked, but you can tell at a glance that it has been carefully preserved.
Sun Shanggong was also careful when delivering it to Su Changan.
During this process, Qu Hongye, who had kept his head down, raised his eyes for the only time, obviously afraid that the maple leaves would be damaged.
Su Changan carefully placed the maple leaf on the table, while Xia Fengxiang came over to take a look.
Five maple leaves.
There is a poem on one piece, "The oriole is also sad when she falls deep in the palace, and when the palace maid in Qingquan has her heart broken." The imperial city cannot help but flow eastward. To whom do you want to send the poem on the leaves? ’
One glance showed that it should be the initial response.
However, except for the poetry on this one, the other maple leaves are densely covered with small characters.
The content is not literate and pretentious. Instead, it is about small things, such as what happened in the town, or what Matchmaker Wang did today. They are all about trivial things in life.
But the person who wrote it used the shortest words to write many stories on the little maple leaves.
And just on the two maple leaves, some things Su Changan did were written, including the poem "Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red, and thin".
The story above the maple leaves is written with humor. There is quite a sense that he is telling the palace maid what is happening outside, so as to help the palace maid relieve her boredom.
And there is also a sentence, "When you are in darkness and see the light, your heart will be like the blue sky", which is obviously to comfort the palace maid not to continue to be so resentful, and to be more cheerful and lively.
While Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were looking at the above content, Hongshu glanced at Qu Hongye and sighed in his heart.
She knew that Hongye would write poems on maple leaves and put them in the stream.
However, such a thing does not break the rules in the first place. It is just that because the palace people are isolated from the outside world in Qingquan Palace, their hearts are inevitably lonely and empty, and they have resentment, so they write some poems and send them to the stream to express their gratitude. Feeling sentimental.
So Sweet Potato has never paid attention to it.
Because such feelings of resentment and helplessness are not limited to Qu Hongye.
Especially in the deserted Qingquan Palace, Hongshu, who has lived in the palace for more than ten years and almost twenty years, knows very well where the sadness of the palace people lies. Although in the eyes of outsiders, living in this palace is like a small palace. People, they are also aloof existences who have no worries about food and clothing.
Can.
Only the people within the walls of Qingquan Palace know that in exchange for having no worries about food and clothing, all they can see at a glance are the high walls, flowing water, flowers and plants of the palace garden.
Such a lonely and helpless woman, with her beauty fading away and filled with sorrow and worry. She looks at the birds flying in the sky and laments that she cannot be free.
Especially in the past few years, because Li Nishang was in power, although there had never been such incidents as palace maids being tortured to death in Qingquan Palace like in the harem, after all, many people were brought here because they offended Li Nishang's subordinates, so there were still some cases of being mistreated to some extent.
In particular, the former steward of Qingquan Palace was not Hongshu alone, but there was another person. However, something happened to Li Nichang and that person was also liquidated.
As for Qu Hongye, it was because she had offended Li Nichang's men before that she was demoted to Qingquan Palace as an ordinary low-level palace maid from the position of a female official who was likely to change into a red robe.
Because of this, Qu Hongye became cautious, never saying much about anything, and only talking about trivial matters around him.
But Hongshu knew Qu Hongye's talents very well, so when he heard that there was an exam, he immediately planned to recommend Qu Hongye.
But unexpectedly, Qu Hongye refused, saying that it was good to be here.
Hongshu knew that Qu Hongye was unwilling to go to the palace where he had to be wary of others. He also knew that after going to the palace, palace ladies like Qu Hongye would just go to a higher palace wall, not much. say what.
But I didn't expect that something like this happened today.
Writing poems on maple leaves, or receiving poems and words sent in by others, may be something in the palace.
But this is nothing in Qingquan Palace.
But unfortunately, His Majesty and the Queen are here, and something happened to a female ghost last night!
Although Hongshu also knew that if there was no such thing as the female ghost, no one would care about the Maple Leaf poems, but...
The emperor and the empress came secretly. You gave away the maple leaves, and then some female ghost appeared.
It would be strange not to be suspected!
Hey!
Thinking like this, Hongshu, who knew what Qu Hongye was like, sighed, and glanced at Qu Hongye, who was standing there with his head lowered, wondering what would happen next.
In addition to Hongshu, several other Qingquan Palace female officials present also frowned at Qu Hongye. After all, they all knew Qu Hongye's personality and were really worried about what would happen to her later.
After Hongshu calmed down for a moment, he looked at Su Chang'an and Xia Fengxiang, saluted and started talking about Qu Hongye.
That is to say, after the imperial examination was completed five years ago, he entered the palace, wanted to pursue a career as a female official, and after reaching the position of Shangyi Bureau, he offended Li Nichang's subordinates and so on.
It seemed to be explaining Qu Hongye's matter, but in fact, it was Hongshu who helped Qu Hongye intercede.
but
Hongshu wanted to say more, but Sun Shanggong patted her gently, then smiled and shook his head slightly.
Hongshu realized that Sun Shanggong asked her not to say more, but she was a little confused.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang naturally understood the meaning of sweet potato.
