Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 Wing Chun Poetry in Dang Chun Garden

The Prince of Xining County did not wish that the Third Prince would dare to order his palace to be raided.

Faced with the overwhelming number of palace guards and pro-military officers and soldiers who poured into his palace, especially when the female relatives of the inner palace were frightened, the prince of Xining was really anxious and scared: "I will make amends!"

The third prince felt happy.

Today he took action against the Prince of Xining County. Although he had asked Emperor Jing'an for instructions, Emperor Jing'an said that after all, the Prince of Xining County was a great contributor to the founding of the country, and the consequences of confiscating his property would be bad.

Now that the King of Xining County had compromised, the third prince was eager to do so and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The prince of Xining County took out gold and silver worth more than 100,000 taels on the spot and said that the remaining more than 100,000 taels would be compensated in the future. In fact, he still wanted to delay the debt evasion.

The third prince gave him a time limit. If he did not pay compensation within the time limit, he would raise troops to raid the Xining Palace...

……

……

It's March.

Emperor Jing'an left the palace and moved into Dangchun Garden in the western suburbs of Shenjing.

As the favorite grandson of Emperor Jing'an, Yuan Qingbai also followed, and his residence was arranged near Dan's settlement.

Early that morning, Emperor Jing'an took Yuan Siwen and Yuan Qingbai to climb a high building in Dangchun Garden to watch the sunrise.

The 20th prince Yuan Siwen, who is fourteen years old this year, is the prince born after Emperor Jing'an turned fifty. He grew up in the later years of Emperor Jing'an. He was quite good-looking and often flattered his old father. In his heart, he was It has quite a presence.

At this time, three generations, Emperor Jing'an, Yuan Siwen and Yuan Qingbai, stood on the high building.

I saw that in the spring garden like Yaotai Langyuan, the garden is full of spring colors and the fragrance of spring flowers.

The mountains in the distance are lush and beautiful.

In the distance, there is a rising sun with thousands of rays of light.

Emperor Jing'an, who liked to write poems, became very interested in poetry when faced with such beautiful scenery. So he asked the eunuch to bring pen and paper and write a poem in a high building:
The rising sun contains new beauty, and the spring light fills the house.

Donghuang turns to the new year, and the energy blends into the valley.

The poem is titled "Spring".

After finishing writing, Emperor Jing'an said to Yuan Siwen and Yuan Qingbai: "You two should each write a Wing Chun poem."

Yuan Qingbai was already used to this.

Emperor Jing'an not only liked to write poems himself, but also liked to let his descendants write poems.

As Yuan Qingbai expected, since he wrote a poem "Flying Snow" in the Imperial Garden last winter, Emperor Jing'an began to like him to write poems.

He has written poems three times in front of Emperor Jing'an.

The first "Flying Snow" satisfied Emperor Jing'an.

The next two times, one satisfied Emperor Jing'an, because he also took a poem from his previous life, and the other time was written by himself, but Emperor Jing'an was not satisfied.

Today, Emperor Jing'an asked him to write poems in person for the fourth time.

Fortunately, this time he can come up with a poem from his past life...

As an uncle, Yuan Siwen was asked by Emperor Jing'an to write first.

"Oh, I really don't like to write poetry. Why does my father like to ask me to write poetry so much? It's really embarrassing for me..."

Yuan Siwen complained in his heart, but did not dare to disobey as always.

After racking his brains for a while, he wrote a Wing Chun poem:

The spring breeze blows on the green hills, and the rising sun shines on the blue sky.

The morning light is infinitely good, and everything is at ease.

Emperor Jing'an looked at it carefully. Well, it wasn't that bad as always, but it still felt like it was pieced together.

This twenty-year-old prince has some skills in piecing together poems... Emperor Jing'an looked at Yuan Qingbai expectantly: "Qingbai, it's your turn now. I wonder if you can compose another one that I like this time." The poem comes."

Yuan Qingbai is not too self-effacing this time. He is quite confident in his poems this time.

He smiled respectfully and politely and said: "My grandson has already made a poem in his mind, so I will write it down and ask the emperor to read it."

After saying that, he stepped forward and started writing.

The title of the poem is "Spring Breeze", which is one more word than "Spring".

The spring breeze is like a distinguished guest, it becomes prosperous as soon as it arrives.

Come to sweep away the snow from thousands of mountains and return flowers from all over the world.

Emperor Jing'an and Yuan Siwen couldn't help but their eyes lit up. It was a very good poem!
Could it be bad? This is the masterpiece of Yuan Mei in his previous life.

"What a poem! What a poem!"

Yuan Siwen couldn't help but admire him and glanced at Yuan Qingbai, thinking that his nephew was quite good at composing poetry.

Emperor Jing'an smiled kindly in the spring breeze and said: "I have asked you to write poems several times. After several times, the poem you wrote this time is my favorite. This poem alone should be rewarded. What reward do you want? ah?"

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "Poetry is all about inspiration. Once you have good inspiration, you can write a good poem."

"I don't dare to expect rewards. I just hope that in the future, the imperial grandfather will ask his grandson to compose poems. If the grandson lacks good inspiration and writes bad poems, the imperial grandfather will do it for the sake of this time, so that he can avoid blaming his grandson. yes."

Emperor Jing'an laughed: "I'm not in a bad mood today. Let's go. You and I will have breakfast together. After breakfast, I will take you fishing."

Due to the investigation of the deficit, not only the third prince has been under great physical and mental burden recently, but also Emperor Jing'an, the old emperor who has been emperor for decades, is under great pressure, so that it is rare to be in a good mood recently.

Emperor Jing'an was in a good mood today and had no urgent government affairs to deal with, so he wanted to have some free time.

Immediately, Yuan Siwen and Yuan Qingbai had breakfast with Emperor Jing'an, and then went to the lake to fish together.

Yuan Qingbai is not good at fishing and has never fished a few times in his previous life.

On the contrary, Yuan Siwen was very good at this, and he caught fresh fish one after another.

In less than an hour, Yuan Siwen caught a lot of fish, and Emperor Jing'an also caught some. There were only two pitiful fish in Yuan Qingbai's basket, one of which was a small fish...

Of course Emperor Jing'an would not be dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, writing poems and playing chess should not be Yuan Qingbai's body and mind, let alone fishing.

"Qing Bai will go home today and give all these fish to your father."

Emperor Jing'an smiled at Yuan Qingbai.

He was teaching Qing Bai about filial piety, and it was also because he knew that his third son had been very tired and stressed recently, and he felt a little distressed.

Yuan Qingbai hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Grandfather, for the reward."

Yuan Siwen became depressed: "Why should this nephew give the fish I caught to my third brother? Hmm, without my consent first."

He was just complaining in his heart, how dare he complain out loud.

Just at this moment, Tao Quan, the eunuch who served in front of the emperor, came over in a hurry.

Tao Quan first glanced at Yuan Qingbai, and then cautiously said to Emperor Jing'an: "Your Majesty, the third prince sent someone over and said that he wanted to ask your Majesty to allow a visit to Mr. Bai's family. The princess of the third prince's family is gone."

Yuan Qingbai: "..."

Just at the end of last month, after the third prince's fourth daughter died at the age of three, he was left with only his second daughter.

The second daughter was in her twenties and was the daughter of the side concubine He. She was married off after being granted the title of princess by Emperor Jing'an a few years ago.

However, not long after this, the second woman was gone!

It also means that Yuan Qingbai has no half-sisters in this life...

He was lost and thoughtful...
