Chapter 245

"The emperor's praise, in An Qingran's opinion, poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are for the purpose of nourishing one's feelings and nourishing one's character. Today's Peony Festival exams and school examinations can certainly add to the cake and add luster to all the young masters and ladies, but An Qingran I think that character comes first, and talent comes second.”

"No matter how talented a person is, if he can't be a good person, then no amount of talent and learning is just a waste of effort. On the contrary, if a person's character is extremely noble, then even if this talent is mediocre, this person is worthy of our respect. Therefore I think those young masters and ladies who are not ranked in today's Peony Festival don't need to feel depressed about it."

"As long as you maintain a sincere heart like gold, as long as your inner soul is beautiful, then you are a noble person worthy of everyone's respect in this world. Besides, hard work can make up for one's weakness, and heaven rewards hard work. There is no perfect person in this world." Humans are not perfect, I believe that as long as you work hard and do your best, one day you will shine your own light."

After hitting someone like Xue Liuli, it is natural to praise others.

"Of course, there are not a few people in this world with both character and talent. Such young masters and young ladies must have appeared at the Peony Festival today. So, An Qingran would like to congratulate the emperor. It is precisely because the emperor It is Mingjun, the world is full of talents, and women will not give up."

"They all have a sincere heart and work hard to do something meaningful for this dynasty in the future. I think it's all because of the emperor's sage, all the court officials, gifted scholars and even ordinary people. .”

Having said that, An Qingran knelt down.

"My emperor is indeed a wise ruler of a generation. An Qingran sincerely wishes the emperor a long life and a long life. Long live, long live. I wish this Zhaoling a great river and mountain, as solid as gold, and last forever."

As soon as An Qingran put on this big hat, everyone present knelt down like An Qingran, and they shouted the same words as An Qingran.

"The ministers wish the emperor good health and longevity, long live long live, long live long live, and wish this Zhaoling mausoleum a great river and mountain, as solid as gold, and last forever."

The loud and distant shouts spread far, far away.

The emperor is naturally very happy.

"Everyone, please stand up and stand up."

There is no one in this world who doesn't like to listen to good words, especially those in high positions.

Even if it is a Mingjun in the prosperous age, who can listen to all kinds of proverbs and opinions from all sides, he still likes to listen to good words and be treated with a high hat. No one can be an exception.

And An Qingran's flattery was appropriate. From the perspective of everyone present, the facts make sense.

Speaking of the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, it can be said that no one can be offended, and every household has won the praise of An Qingran.

No, those who have talent and learning, both moral and moral, are good talents.

Those who have no talent and learning, still have character, are sages, so, is there anything wrong with it?

In this way, if you say which of the people present is not happy, you are naturally happy.

Of course, in this kind of occasion, apart from Xue Liuli, there is also the Xue family who was questioned because of Xue Liuli, which is different from other people, their faces are very ugly.

They could have come and gone happily.

It's good now, because Xue Liuli made their Xue family suffer the baptism of everyone's eyes.

So at this moment, Xue Liuli was pulled down and punished with thirty boards.

Not to mention the applause of the others, even the members of Xue's family were secretly happy. No one was applauding because Xue Liuli made them feel so uncomfortable.

As a result, Xue Liuli was punished, and the members of the Xue family relieved a lot of hatred in their hearts.

Of course, there are narrow-minded people, such as Concubine Xue Gui, who saw Xue Liuli being dragged down and punished for [-] boards, even though An Qingran had already said that it was because of her face that she did not ask for a heavy punishment.

But this kind of punishment has already swept away her face, haven't you seen the ironic smiles of the empress and all the concubines in the palace?That made her lose a lot of face.

So Concubine Xue has a grudge against An Qingran at this time.

She memorized this account, thinking that when she has a chance in the future, she must do a good job of regaining the face she lost today.

And An Qingran was aware of Concubine Xue's hostility.

But she was quite fearless.If Concubine Xue dared to pick on her because of Xue Liuli's affairs, she would have done her best as a concubine.

But she thought Concubine Xue would not be that stupid. If a person who took the position of a concubine was that stupid, he would have been eliminated by other concubines or empresses in the palace long ago.

So this Concubine Xue Gui is not a simple role, but she can pay attention to it in the future.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth naturally twitched, and Su Yanjing beside her saw that she was in a good mood, and said, "Ran'er, what are you thinking? You are in a good mood."

"I wasn't thinking about anything, I just thought of a joke, so I couldn't help but smiled."

"Oh? What kind of joke is that? Can Ran'er tell her grandmother too?"

The empress dowager is in a good mood at the moment, so she is naturally interested in hearing everything.

Now she looks more and more pleasing to An Qingran.

Just looking at Ran'er's performance just now, if she could say a good word, the Empress Dowager would definitely say it on the spot.

Fortunately, she has good concentration and is not that impulsive, but her eyes have already said everything.

She praised An Qingran's wit, which really did not offend anyone, and benefited most of the people present.

Especially for her last move, she put all the credit on the emperor, which reduced the limelight of her own vanguard.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the picture of her writing three peony poems in a row, and instead focused on congratulating the emperor.

An Qingran saw that the Empress Dowager was interested in listening, so she randomly found a Buddhist story that the Empress Dowager liked to tell.

"Grandmother, it's a joke, it's better to say this is a Buddhist story. Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was quite talented and arrogant. One day, the scholar was eating in a restaurant. At this time, a Businessman, there just happened to be no vacancy, so this businessman went to the scholar to share a table."

"But the scholar said that the businessman smelled of copper and was not worthy of sitting with him as a scholar; then another farmer came and sat at the same table as the scholar, and the scholar said that the farmer smelled of manure and was not worthy of being noble with him. At this time, a monk came, and the monk said to the scholar, I see you are a handsome man, with a magnificent appearance, like a Buddha, what do you think of me?"

"The scholar saw the monk's ragged clothes, so he said, I think you look like a piece of shit. At this time, the monk smiled and said nothing. The people around him were extremely angry and complained about the monk's injustice, but after the monk said a word, the side Everyone on the scene laughed, but the scholar ran away with a blushing face."

"Ran'er, tell me quickly, what did that monk say?"

Su Yanjing listened curiously and urged on the side.

As for the empress dowager, she obviously wanted to know the answer, so An Qingran naturally wouldn't pretend to be a secret, so she gave the answer.

"That's what the monk said. The poor monk has a Buddha in his heart, so everyone is a Buddha. The donor has shit in his heart, so everyone is a shit."

As soon as An Qingran's words came out, the Empress Dowager and Su Yanjing both smiled understandingly.

The empress dowager patted the back of An Qingran's hand and said: "My child, you told this story well, and the Ai family will learn from it in the future. If there is something, it will be changed, if not, it will be encouraged."

"Grandmother, Ran'er said that this story is just to amuse grandma, and has no other meaning. In fact, there is still a follow-up to that story. Later, the scholar became very humble after that, and later became a good official in the hearts of the people. "

This is an allusion of Su Dongpo's fight with Foyin and Buddha. She modified the story a little bit, and she really didn't mean to exhort anything.

I can only think that the last sentence has a funny meaning, so I said this allusion.

The empress dowager naturally wouldn't be overwhelmed, she smiled and said: "My child, grandma knows what you mean, but this story does make sense. Grandma understands something after hearing it, and that is her own business. You, Don't overthink it."

"Since my grandmother has said so, Ran'er won't think too much about it."

And at this time, Yun Fei came over and whispered something in An Qingran's ear.

An Qingran raised her phoenix eyes slightly, then said with a smile: "Grandmother, Yan Jing, I want to go for convenience right now, so you chat first, I will go back soon."

"Go, child." The empress dowager patted the back of An Qingran's hand kindly, signaling her to do something if she had something to do.

It's up to her to handle things here.

As soon as An Qingran got the Queen Mother's permission, she took Yun Fei to the dressing room at a very fast speed.

On the way, An Qingran asked Yun Fei.

"Didn't I ask you to remind Xu Dantong? This Peony Festival told her not to act alone, but to act with everyone. Why did she go to the dressing room by herself again?"

She thought that as long as Xu Dantong was not stupid, she should understand that she couldn't stay in one place alone in her current situation.

But she didn't expect that she still did it like this. Thinking about it, something must have happened in the middle.

That's why An Qingran asked about the ins and outs of Yunfei's affairs.

Hearing An Qingran's question, Na Yunfei naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and told An Qingran exactly what happened.

"Miss, at the end of the competition, Xu Dantong and the other ladies were sitting and chatting in the gazebo, but then a strange servant girl came to deliver refreshments and slipped a note to Xu Dantong."

"At that time, when Xu Dantong received the note, he felt wronged, and then he refused to listen to his subordinates' advice, and went to the locker room by himself."

As soon as An Qingran heard this, she knew that Xu Dantong had been deceived.

"Let's go, Yunfei, I hope we can stop it in time."
