King of Song

Chapter 55 Xiao Guanyin

In an instant, Lin Zhao quickly wrote three lines of characters, and put down the pen casually, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth!

Speaking of it, I really thank my girlfriend from the Chinese Department in my previous life. Things like couplets can be said to be well-informed, so it's not a problem at all.

Yelujun was a little taken aback, wasn't he?There will be a link so soon!This prince can speak well and is eager to learn and read, not to mention having a mother with outstanding talents. Although she is young, her talent and learning level is not low.He lowered his head and read it carefully. Apart from the unflattering calligraphy, the couplets in the second couplet are not only neat, but also quite literary, so you can tell the quality at a glance.

It is not surprising that Wendou lost. After all, this is the strength of the scholars of the Song Dynasty, but they did not expect to lose so quickly!This guy's talent and reaction are so against the sky?Yelujun realized that he had underestimated the enemy!

The eccentric Yelutri saw the problem, hesitantly took out another piece of paper from his pocket, and said in a low voice, "There are still two upper couplets here, come on!"

It turned out that the girl had been prepared for a long time, and she didn't say it earlier, Yelujun shook her head lightly, but she didn't expect too much!

Lin Zhao took it, and saw that it read: The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, every year, every evening, every night, the sun is seen at the end of the night!

Another couplet: ups and downs, warm and cold, looking everywhere.

Resentful woman, absolute resentful woman!At a glance, Lin Zhao decided that this Shanglian must belong to a woman, and the learned scholar of the Liao Kingdom would most likely be the Queen Xiao Guanyin, and his previous guess was even more certain.

Thinking about the many songs "Huixinyuan" that she wrote later, Yelu Hongji also treated her in the cold, and her life was not happy.It is not strange to write a book about a woman who is in deep palace, lonely and sad.

What is it if you just use it to test yourself?
After a little thought, Lin Zhao already had a second couplet, but he had to be cautious when writing, after all, these two couplets involved too many emotional issues.Will the couplet with the empress of the Liao Kingdom have a secret connection with the song?To be more serious, have a romantic relationship with the Queen of Liao Kingdom?No matter how ugly it is, it is molesting Empress Xiao. No one can afford such an all-consuming crime, so one must be cautious.

But looking at the eyes of the little prince and princess of the Liao Kingdom, wouldn't it be an admission of defeat if they didn't agree?Forget it, since you Xiao Guanyin dared to show it, what fear is there for me as a big man?

Ever since, Lin Zhao wrote the second couplet in a short period of time.However, it is also as careful as possible to use words to avoid ambiguity and reverie, causing unnecessary trouble.Even so, the content of the couplet still looks a little... well, forget it, it doesn't matter so much!

Yelujun just glanced at it, but didn't look carefully. Lin Zhao's literary talent and strength are there, and Wendou can't embarrass him at all.Therefore, I never cared about it, and could only focus on fighting.

Yelujun said coldly: "Even if you win Wendou, there will be a horse race at noon, remember to participate on time, and I will compete with you alone!"

Lin Zhao couldn't help sighing: It's really troublesome to be entangled by this intelligent young crown prince who was seven years old and hunted with his father, and shot nine out of ten deer.

Speaking of this, it seems impossible not to accept it.It is estimated that the Liao people will definitely invite Song envoys to participate in the horse race in a different way, so as to regain their sense of superiority.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
In the camp, Xiao Guanyin, Queen of the Liao Kingdom, looked down at the white paper on the table!
The three couplets with beautiful fonts were indeed written by her. Before that, her son and daughter rushed over and said that they wanted to test the talents of Song envoys.The No. [-] scholar Zhang Xiaojie had already suffered a disastrous defeat, and it was not easy to find another talented person from the Liao Kingdom. Yelujun first thought of his mother!Xiao Guanyin is a well-deserved talented woman, and she left behind a lot of poems and works, such as the ten "Hui Xin Yuan".

Although the request was a bit excessive, Xiao Guanyin, who dotes on her children, still agreed.In addition, he heard that Lin Zhao was the envoy of Song who wrote "Ode to the God of Luo" that night, so he was moved to test the envoy of Song's talent and learning.

Now that the answer came back, it really was him. From the messy handwriting, it could be seen that it was definitely the same person.In stark contrast to the graceful handwriting, the partial content is so appropriate.

Although she did not attend the birthday celebrations of the envoys from various countries in the early morning, she had already heard about the situation at that time.It seems that this Song envoy named Lin Zhao is not only extremely sharp in speech, but also has a brilliant literary talent and quick wit. Xiao Guanyin can't help being very interested.

Yerutri stood on the spot with his head bowed, his hands behind his back, his innocent eyes were erratic, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Seeing this, Xiao Guanyin asked, "Terry, what's wrong?"

"Mother, Terry has done something wrong without permission, please forgive me!" Yelu Tri timidly looked at her mother, whispering her promises, her small eyes still brimming with shallow tears.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her daughter's expression, Xiao Guanyin's face became a little more dignified.

Yelu Tri timidly took out a piece of paper from his bosom. Xiao Guanyin only glanced at it, then his expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice, "When did you take this? Who did you show it to?"

"After seeing my mother, I wrote it on the case, then quietly took it away, and went to the school to take the Song Envoy exam just like the previous couplet!"

Xiao Guanyin felt a little dizzy suddenly, the emperor hadn't seen her for a long time, and Chungui was lonely, full of worries that couldn't be resolved.The poems express the will, although it is only a few couplets, but it also reveals the mood inadvertently!After writing couplets at the request of my son before, I took advantage of the situation and wrote two sentences to resolve my grievances. I didn't want to be quietly taken away by my ignorant daughter, and even showed it to the envoy...

well!Now it's troublesome, shame on the Song Dynasty...

"Why did you take this child away without permission?" Xiao Guanyin just reprimanded in a low voice. After all, her daughter is still young and ignorant, so what can I do if I blame her?Xiao Guanyin was thinking whether he should meet Lin Zhao, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and make amends.

Yelu Terry whispered: "Queen, Terry knew he was wrong, but the envoy from the Southern Dynasty seems to be right!"

Only then did Xiao Guanyin take a closer look at it calmly, and saw that her first couplet read: The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, every year, every evening, night and night, the sun can only be seen at the end of the night.The second couplet is correct: flowers fall and bloom, flowers bloom and fall, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool and cool, and spring begins after severe winter.

The moon is short and full, and it is like this every year, and most of the time is spent in the boudoir.However, with the noble shackles of the queen, one must always maintain the solemnity and elegance of the mother's world.The heart is very tired, full of grievances, no one to share, every lonely night is so long.I have been looking forward to the sunrise at the end of the night, but soon the sun goes down and the loneliness begins again day after day...

The envoy Song was right, but at this point, he could only watch the flowers bloom and fade, and lamented that the beauty is getting old, after all, she is almost 30 years old.As for the beginning of spring after the severe winter, hum, the severe winter is indeed approaching, but spring seems to be far away?My own spring is gone forever!
Immediately saw again: ups and downs, warm and cold, looking everywhere;

Li Qingzhao wrote: It is most difficult to breathe when it is warm and cold. On a stormy night, Xiao Guanyin probably felt this way. He was looking for a warm support and harbor everywhere, but unfortunately he was still disappointed in the end.

As for the situation of singing birds and fragrant flowers in the second couplet, it may have happened before, but it is a pity that the past is irreversible.

Xiao Guanyin was immersed in his own sentimentality, and did not notice anything wrong with the content at first.But when it was reflected that the second couplet was the Song envoy's fault, his expression immediately became a little unnatural.How decent is the resentful and affectionate couplet between the empress of the Liao Kingdom and a young man from a foreign country whom she has never met before?
But after thinking about it, from the reading between the lines, Song Envoy seemed to be comforting himself!He seemed to understand his own feelings, Xiao Guanyin had a vague feeling, as if he had found a bosom friend!I felt weird in my heart, and before I knew it, there were circles of ripples...

Yelu Terry said: "Queen, the emperor's brother and Song Envoy meet for a horse race, you should go and see it too! Or, you go with me, take Terry, and ride the horses together!"

Maybe it's time to go for a walk and relax!Maybe it’s because I want to meet Lin Zhao, the envoy of the Song Dynasty who has ingenious couplets!Xiao Guanyin pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly...
