Chapter 331: Flirting
After finishing his pulse, An Ning and Chen Ao were tacitly understood. Chen Ao retracted his hand and said in a hypocritical manner: "The Emperor's pulse has stabilized a little, and his condition has improved."
An Ning blinked her eyes and asked at him, "By the way, I heard that Mr. Chen took the palace examination today, and the morning was taking calligraphy and painting. I wonder how the master did the exam?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but interrupt and said, "The Emperor's Prince Chen is unparalleled in calligraphy and painting, and he is awesome and outstanding in one place."
An Ning looked very happy and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone in the palace said that Mr. Chen is the number one talented man in Bianjing, and the art exam is no problem."
Is that right? It turns out that his reputation in the palace is so loud? Chen Ao was surprised and then relieved. Speaking of it, half of his relatives, Xianfei, was there. Those who flattered and wanted to win the favor of Xianfei finally seized an opportunity and were willing to brag about this talented man in front of Xianfei. Xianfei was in the palace and his relatives were outside. Some people said good things about being close to others. Even distant relatives like Chen Ao were extremely happy.
In addition, with this Eunuch Yang here, he and Yang Jian have a very good relationship and share common interests. They both tacitly understand that Yang Jian also likes to listen to his good words.
Chen Ao smiled calmly and said, "Talented man? I dare not be accustomed. I just understand some poetry and prose, and some music. I will break the jade. The princess is too rewarded." He glanced at him and saw a booklet on An Ning's dressing table. When he looked closely, he saw that the booklet had several lines of dense poems, which seemed to be the handwriting of Zhuo Wenjun.
Zhuo Wenjun was a native of the Han Dynasty and was called one of the four talented women in later generations. It is said that she is a beautiful and smart woman who is good at poetry and prose and good at playing the piano. Of course, the most famous story about her is the story of the phoenix seeking the phoenix. Chen Ao couldn't help but think that An Ning liked Zhuo Wenjun, but I was afraid that in this girl's thoughts, the love story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun was inevitable.
Thinking about it, my heart became warm and I laughed: "Does the Emperor love Xiaosi?"
When An Ning saw his eyes falling on the poem book, he showed a little nervous look. He nodded and couldn't help thinking: "Have he seen through something? Oh, he is so smart..."
Chen Ao seemed to be graceful and generous and said: "It is sad and sad. You don't need to cry when you marry. I wish you a single person and never leave each other until you are together. Zhuo Wenjun's poem is too sad. Emperor An Ning is in a depressed mood, so it's better to read these less."
An Ning bit her lip and said, "If the young master thinks her poem is sad, why not write a poem for me to listen to it. If I can be happier, it will naturally make me feel cheerful."
Writing a poem? This is not a big problem. The emperor does not allow his buddies to sing obscene lyrics. It should be no problem to write a poem, right? Chen Ao pondered for a moment and said to Yang Jian: "Can you bother Eunuch Yang to bring the pen and ink?"
Yang Jian was about to speak with a smile, An Ning stood up first, went to the dressing table with great enthusiasm, took the pen and ink, placed it on the table in front of Shen Ao, and opened his eyes and said, "Please wield the ink."
Chen Ao smiled slightly and picked up the pen and wrote: "After the swing, I got up and tidy my hands. The flowers were thick and thin, and the clothes were thin. When I saw someone coming, I slipped in my socks and gold hairpins. I walked away with a shy look, leaning against the door, but I sniffed the green plums."
This poem is a work by Li Qingzhao in her early years. She had a wealthy life in her early years, so many poems were mainly cheerful. The poem was called Dianjiang Lip. The opening chapter of the poem did not describe the joy of swinging, but cut the scene of the moment after "Shut the swing". Although the whole movement has stopped at this moment, you can still imagine the scene of a girl swimming while swinging. The silk clothes are light and flying around in the air like swallows, and the wonder is that she moves in the quiet.
After getting off the swing, my hands were a little numb, but I was too lazy to move a little, writing about the girl's cuteness. Because I used my strength while swinging, I felt a thin body of sweat, and there were crystal beads of sweat on my forehead. This delicate and beautiful expression was like crystal dewdrops adorned on the delicate and soft branches.
The phrase "The dew is thick and thin and the flowers are thin" not only shows that time is on the morning of spring, and the place is in the garden, but also highlights the beautiful appearance of the characters. The whole first part uses static movements, using flowers to describe people, vividly outlining the expression of a girl after she finished swinging. The second part describes the expression of a girl after she first saw a visitor. She was so tired that she was reluctant to move, but suddenly a stranger broke into the garden. "Seeing the guest in", she was surprised and had no time to organize her clothes and hurriedly avoided. "Socks" means that she didn't have time to wear shoes and just walk in socks. "Golden Hair Slide" means that her hair is loose, the golden hairpin slides down to the ground, and she writes the expression of being in a hurry and panic. Although the lyrics do not directly describe who the guest was the sudden arrival, it can be confirmed from the poet's reaction that he must be a handsome young man.
The three words "Shame and walk" accurately describe her inner feelings and external actions at this moment. "Shame and walk" means shy; "Shame and walk" means shy. However, what is even more wonderful is the sentence "Looking back at the door, but smelling the green plums". It uses extremely exquisite brushwork to describe the subtle psychology of the girl who is afraid of seeing and wanting to see, but not daring to see. In the end, she had to use the details of "Shame and see the green plums" to hide herself in order to secretly look at him. The next piece describes the psychology with the movements, and the movements are clearly layered and tortuous, which vividly depicts a girl's psychological activities of surprise, panic, shy, curiosity and love.
An Ning read the lyrics written by Shen Ao, and her little face was even more red. How could she not understand that although this lyrics were cheerful, they were inevitably referring to them. The cheerful girl in the lyrics seemed to be metaphorizing something, and the stranger who broke into the garden. Who was the elegant and beautiful boy referring to?
An Ning looked at Shen Ao deeply and couldn't help but think: "Is he going to imitate Sima Xiangru and Feng Qiuhuang?" The sudden thought in his heart was even more shy. The mentality of the girl in the lyrics was afraid that she would show her current thoughts to the fullest. The shock, panic, shyness, curiosity and love came with a storm. An Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, but she pretended to be calm and murmured: "Young Master Shen's lyrics are well written, I...I like them very much."
Seeing her like this, Shen Ao hurriedly went to read the lyrics and immediately understood in his heart. He was afraid that he had made a mistake again! He wanted to copy the lyrics that were cheerful, but by chance, he forgot that this lyrics were full of love affairs for men and women! Alas, it was a tragedy. If the Pope Emperor saw this lyrics, it would be a disaster.
Shen Ao was extremely upset in his heart, and quickly silenced and looked serious. Seeing An Ning still immersed in the poem, he complained in his heart. Then he thought, "I am open-minded and honest, what's the point of being afraid of? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, people die, birds are facing the sky, afraid of a bird coming!"
Seeing that it was getting late, I couldn't help but think that I had not visited Xianfei before I entered the palace. I was a son and nephew. It was unreasonable to not visit him. So I said, "Emperor Princess, the students are afraid that they will say goodbye. The students want to go to Xianfei's place to ask for peace. Besides, the palace examination in the afternoon will also begin. Please forgive me!"
An Ning was wandering and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, go." She didn't dare to look at Chen Ao's eyes again, and her clear eyes were turned aside.
When Yang Jian saw Emperor Ji like this, he was also secretly surprised. He did not understand the meaning of the words. When he saw Chen Ao going to ask Xian Fei Concubine, he felt that Chen Ao was right. Chen Ao was the son and nephew of Xian Fei. No one would gossip about him. He said, "The Emperor Ji, the family has also surrendered."
The two left the peaceful boudoir, and Chen Ao's heart suddenly became lighter, and the rain outside the pavilion gradually stopped; the girl in the boudoir stood by the window, and outside the window was the most familiar landscape of the forest. The branches of the flowers and branches had already grown tender green leaves, and under the shower of the drizzle, it seemed to be wearing a brand new green outfit, looking full of vitality.
Chen Ao and Yang Jian's backs one after another, Chen Ao stepped on the wet mud, his steps were light, An Ning couldn't help but smile as he looked at him walking, this idiot was really like a child, wearing a pair of boots, but he deliberately stepped into the accumulated water. While she was pondering for a while, Chen Ao suddenly turned around, looked back, and looked here.
An Ning was so scared that her face turned a little white. She quickly closed the window, and her heart was jumping in a hurry, thinking, "Oh, he must have seen it." She was still shocked, and her eyes fell on the small lyrics again, her face flushed, she put away the paper that wrote the lyrics and folded them carefully to put them in the cabinet of the dressing table.
Chen Ao and Yang Jian arrived at the palace of Concubine Xian. There were many rules in the back court, and even the concubines had different levels. The most prominent one was the Empress of the Palace. The next level was the fourth wife, namely Gui, Xian, De, and Shu. Most of the other talents were the beauty, Jieyu, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, etc., and there were countless names.
Concubine Xian ranked second among the fourth ladies, and her status was only slightly lower than that of the queen and the noble ladies. Therefore, her palace occupies a large area and is located in a rockery garden.
Yang Jian first went in to inform the eunuch in the palace of Xianfei, and the palace maid were in chaos. It turned out that Xianfei was quite happy when she heard Chen Ao coming to ask for her. In this palace, there were very few relatives outside the palace to see her. Although Chen Ao was a distant relative, he was born to be happy. Moreover, this time, he was a part-time attending the palace examination. There was such a talented man in the Zhou family, so he could not neglect it, so he taught people to prepare and try to make the palace more decent.
When Chen Ao went in, he saw the concubine who was looming behind the gauze tent, and bowed to him: "My nephew has met the concubine of Xian."
"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Concubine Xian said happily: "It's all a family and is not in front of others, so there is no need to be polite."
The little princess lying in the arms of Concubine Xian bulged her cheeks and said, "Chen Ao, you haven't greeted me yet."
"I'm ignorant." Concubine Xian shaved the little princess' nose and scolded: "He is your cousin. What do you want to do? Bier, take the little princess to the back garden to play."
