Xiyuan, also known as Taiye Pool, is located in the Imperial City, on the west side of the Imperial Palace and Jingshan Mountain. It covers a large area and was the royal garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Grand View Garden in the original work is already picturesque, dreamlike, and poetic, but compared with Xiyuan, it pales in comparison.
There is an imperial garden in the inner court of the imperial palace, but this imperial garden is really small. It covers an area not much larger than the courtyard of Yangxin Palace. Compared with the Grand View Garden in the original work, the Grand View Garden becomes a big witch.
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty emperor often visited Xiyuan and Jingshan, the two imperial gardens located around the palace, especially Xiyuan. The Qing Dynasty emperor sometimes stayed in Xiyuan, and Kangxing Emperor often stayed in Xiyuan.
Jia Yun has been on the throne for two months, and has only been to Xiyuan twice, once by herself, and once with the Yin family, Bu Wuniang, Xue Baochai and others.
Not only because Jia Yun has been too busy in the past two months, but also for safety reasons. Although Xiyuan is located in the imperial city, it is outside the palace after all.
July 12th is a bright and sunny day. According to the lunar calendar, autumn has entered many days ago, but the climate in Shenjing City is still like summer, especially on a sunny day like today.
In the afternoon, Jia Yun rarely continued working after taking a nap. She took Xue Baochai, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue, Xiangling, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and other female relatives to Xiyuan to play.
The reason given was to accompany Xue Baochai to relax after giving birth.
As for the emperor's eldest son Xia Jing, he was left in the care of Aunt Xue and Ying'er.
During the period after Xue Baochai gave birth, Aunt Xue still lived in Yongshou Palace to take care of Xue Baochai and also took care of Xia Jing, the eldest son of the emperor.
In total, Aunt Xue has lived in the palace for twenty days. During these twenty days, she has witnessed with her own eyes Jia Yun's concern for Xue Baochai, and it can even be said that she is doting on him.
In Aunt Xue's opinion, Xue Baochai was extremely lucky to have become the empress at such a young age, and it was even more lucky to be cared for and favored by the emperor Jia Yun.
Today, the female relatives are in a very happy mood. It is rare to go out of the palace to play, and it is in an incredibly beautiful place like Xiyuan. Moreover, they all know that Jia Yun is in a good mood. As female relatives who all care about Jia Yun, Jia Yun's
When they are in a good mood, their mood will also improve accordingly.
Yingtai is a small island in Xiyuan, surrounded by water. There are many palaces and pavilions built on the island, just like a fairy island in the sea, so it is named Yingtai.
At this time, Jia Yun and her female relatives visited Yingtai, played around in Yingtai for a while, and then found a place to rest on the shore of Yingtai.
Jia Yun sat down first, then asked Xue Baochai to sit down, smiled at Xue Baochai and asked: "You have been playing for half an hour, are you tired?"
Xue Baochai said softly: "I am not tired, I am just afraid that it will delay the emperor's state affairs."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I have been diligent in state affairs since I took the throne for two months. Today is only the third time I have come to Xiyuan, and it is also the second time I have brought you to play. How can I delay the state affairs?"
Xue Baochai smiled brightly, feeling a deep sense of happiness in her heart.
Jia Yun smiled at Xue Baochai and said: "It's a pity that Jing'er was only ten days old and it's not suitable to take him out yet. After a while, when Jing'er grows up, we can take Jing'er to Xiyuan to play together."
.”
Xue Baochai said "Yes": "This matter is entirely up to the Emperor."
One month before the baby is born, it is not suitable to carry the baby outdoors because the immunity is low and it is easy to get sick. Therefore, the emperor's eldest son Xia Jing is currently being left in Yongshou Palace to be taken care of by Aunt Xue and Ying'er.
Seeing the scene of Jia Yun and Xue Baochai being so deeply in love as husband and wife, the surrounding female family members such as Xi Ren, Zi Juan, Qing Wen, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue, Xiang Ling, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, etc. all became envious.
Even Xian Xiren is envious. It’s not that he envies the love between Jia Yun and Xue Baochai. Jia Yun also loves her, but that Xue Baochai has given birth to a prince for Jia Yun, but she has not been able to get pregnant until now.
Zijuan and Qingwen also want to have one.
One of the reasons why the three of them all wanted to have a baby was that they all knew that if they also gave birth to a prince, then after Jia Yun's mourning period, they should at least be able to make a concubine, and maybe even a concubine.
.
You know, they are all maids of low status. If they can be granted a concubine or even a concubine, their luck will not be much worse than that of Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai is a young lady from a famous official family and an imperial merchant.
They have all worked hard for this, but it’s just their stomachs that don’t live up to expectations!
Qin Keqing, Li Feixue, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You also have this idea. However, Jia Yun is still in the period of mourning. Not only can Jia Yun in the mourning period not be able to establish a queen or concubine, she is also inconvenient to accept other women. In this regard,
, Xiren, Zijuan, and Qingwen are lucky. The three of them were Jia Yun's concubines before Jia Yun's mourning period.
Of course, if Jia Yun is unwilling to abide by this etiquette, there will not be much trouble. After all, he raised an army to seize the throne. He recently rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and suppressed the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Yin and the princes
Ministers, will they care about him over this kind of thing?
However, Jia Yun has always been calm, especially after becoming emperor. He is not in a hurry about this kind of thing. He has already planned to shorten the mourning period to one year.
In fact, he can do this now. He has already achieved a great achievement by quelling the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. However, in order to make this matter smoother and easier, he is prepared to wait until after the rebellion against the Ming Dynasty is over. He plans
He also believed that as long as no major accidents occurred, his plan would go smoothly.
At this time, Jia Yun looked at the willow trees on the shore and had an idea. She looked at Xue Baochai again, and then said to Wei Xiaodao, the eunuch in charge of the palace next to her: "Send someone to get paper and pen."
"Yes!" Wei Xiaogong accepted the order and immediately sent his subordinate eunuch to get paper and pen.
"Why does the emperor suddenly want paper and pen?" Xue Baochai asked curiously.
Qin Keqing, Li Feixue and other female relatives are also curious, but at this time, Xue Baochai is naturally the most qualified to ask such questions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Yun smiled slightly: "I suddenly became very interested in poetry and wanted to write a poem."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the female relatives lit up and their brows were filled with joy.
You must know that some of Jia Yun's female relatives like poetry. Among them, Xue Baochai and Li Feixue have high poetry standards.
And Xiangling is even more obsessed with poetry. Ever since Jia Yun asked her to learn poetry and write poems, she has worked hard on this, because this matter was Jia Yun's "order", and even Xue Baochai would not say anything about her.
When serving in Yangxin Hall, Jia Yun would sometimes let her sit aside to read and write poems, and he doted on her very much in this regard.
And even Qingwen, who doesn't like poetry, is very curious and looking forward to it when she sees that Jia Yun wants to write a poem.
Jia Yun has almost never written any poetry, but she has written lyrics. When it comes to poetry, Jia Yun usually only uses calligraphy to write the works of her predecessors.
There are many palace attics in Yingtai. Emperor Kangxing and Emperor Yongzheng once lived here. Naturally, there was no shortage of paper and pens here. Soon the eunuchs brought paper and pens and placed them on a table.
Jia Yun sat at the table. Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue and other female family members surrounded him, like stars holding the moon. Even Wei Xiao, the eunuch in charge of the palace, and Yu Wen, the eunuch of the sixth palace, couldn't help but move forward to get closer.
, I want to see the lyrics written by Jia Yun who was suddenly inspired by poetry.
Jia Yun looked at the female relatives around her and said with a smile: "I just saw the willow trees here and suddenly wanted to write this poem. Well, this poem is related to willow trees, but it is not about willow trees, but about catkins. Although
It’s no longer the time for catkins to fly, but most of the poems are about expressing feelings, and you don’t have to see catkins to write about catkins. What’s more, although you can’t see catkins in front of you, there are many willow trees.”
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "The emperor is right. I am so lucky to be able to witness the emperor writing a poem today. It is all thanks to the willow trees in front of me."
Jia Yun didn't hesitate anymore. He immediately took the brush in his hand and wrote the impromptu poem "Linjiang Fairy - Catkins" on the white paper with a good level of calligraphy:
"The spring dance in front of the Baiyu Hall, the east wind blows evenly. The bees and butterflies are surrounded by chaos. How many times have they passed away? How can they be left behind? Thousands of threads will never change, let them gather and divide. There is no root in the laughter of the youth.
.The good wind, with its power, sends me up to the blue clouds.”
As soon as Jia Yun wrote the first sentence "The spring dance in front of Bai Yutang, the east wind blows evenly", Xue Baochai couldn't help but praise: "As expected of the emperor, this first sentence is outstanding!"
Although Xue Baochai was trying to flatter Jia Yun at the moment, his compliment was also somewhat sincere.
Xiren, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue, and Xiangling also praised him one after another, and they were all sincere.
This sentence is indeed very good. Look, catkins are flying all over the sky in the spring breeze in front of Baiyutang, but it is described as catkins flying all over the sky and being rolled evenly by the spring breeze. How clever and poetic!
And when Jia Yun finished writing the first poem, Xue Baochai, Xi Ren, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue, and Xiang Ling all praised it.
"I'm not deliberately trying to please the emperor. The emperor's poem is really very good. In my opinion, all the poems about catkins in the past and present are outdone by the emperor's poem!" Xue Baochai said with a smile.
It's also somewhat sincere.
Jia Yun smiled at Xue Baochai and asked, "Do you like this poem?"
Xue Baochai nodded decisively: "I like it very much!"
She really liked it, not only because the poem was very poetic, but also because of its connotation.
This poem cleverly personifies catkins and expresses the ambition of a rootless person by describing the mentality of catkins. In Xue Baochai's view, this poem is a real match for Jia Yun. Jia Yun used to be like that
I lived through poverty and hardship, but now I have risen to great heights and become an emperor!
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun said: "Actually, the reason why I suddenly wrote such a poem was not only inspired by those willow trees, but also thought of my beloved concubine. This poem is actually about me writing about my beloved concubine. Although my beloved concubine's background is not humble,
But it is not very noble, and after the mourning period, I will appoint my beloved concubine as the empress of the world. This is what is called "the good wind will send me to the blue clouds through its power", and I will send my beloved concubine to the blue clouds.
Nice wind!”
Wow!
After Jia Yun said these words, the scene couldn't help but recall a burst of admiration and envy.
While marveling and envying, Xi Ren, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue and others looked at Jia Yun with tenderness and admiration. He was the emperor, yet he was so romantic!
In this era of lack of spiritual life, the romance of a talented scholar and a beautiful lady is already very touching, and now this romance of a "talented emperor and beautiful queen" is so exciting, how can it not be exciting? Xi Ren, Qin Keqing, Li Feixue and others are all
Ecstasy!
Xue Baochai, the person involved, blushed, and with his forehead slightly drooped, he softly replied: "I am so virtuous and capable, that I bothered the emperor to write such an excellent poem for my concubine."
Jia Yun smiled slightly and thought to herself: "Is this considered borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?"
There are many reasons why Cao Gong's original work is so great, one of which is that there are many original and excellent poems in the book.
Jia Yun's favorite poem in her previous life was "Linjiang Immortal - Catkins" written by Xue Baochai. In her previous life, some people thought that this poem could be ranked first among Red Mansions poems, and some people thought that "Crab Ode" written by Xue Baochai
" can be ranked first. Jia Yun also liked "The Crab Rime" in her previous life.
Lin Daiyu has the most outstanding poems, but her poems are all in a sad style. Among the many golden hairpins in the Red Mansion, only Xue Baochai can write such connotative poems as "Linjiang Fairy - Catkins" because she has both
His poetic talent also has his ambition to become a successful poet.
Lin Daiyu's life experience is naturally unfortunate.
Xue Baochai's life experience was actually unfortunate. Her family was in decline, her father passed away, and she followed her mother. Her brother was living under the influence of others in Rongguo Mansion, and his brother was very useless. However, she never complained about this fate. She behaved openly and followed the times, and she had a bright future in her heart.
Ambition, looking forward to the future.
It's a pity that Xue Baochai's ending in the original work is tragic.
Now, due to the emergence of Jia Yun, a time traveler, Xue Baochai is very lucky, and her ambition to become a successful person has been satisfied to the maximum extent.
Jia Yun felt that if he had not written this poem "Linjiang Fairy - Catkins", Xue Baochai might not have written this poem in this life, because the trajectory had been changed, and because with Xue Baochai's reserve and stability, she, as the queen,
, can’t write such words, otherwise it would appear arrogant.
So now, Jia Yun wrote this poem and gave it to her as a gift to Buddha by borrowing flowers.
Jia Yun said to Xiang Ling: "Xiang Ling, keep this poem and give it to the empress when you go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Ling said eagerly. She also liked this poem very much. If she kept it, she could read it several times.
Xue Baochai couldn't help but look up and watch Xiang Ling put away this poem, as if watching an extremely precious treasure of hers being put away.
At this moment, Jia Yun is thinking: "This poem should be published in Qingbao!"
Jia Yun then smiled at Xue Baochai and said, "Since I have already written a poem, how about each of you write a poem? You all write catkins, but it is not limited to words, any poem can be used."
"With Zhuyu in front of me, how can I, the concubine, and others dare to write? Wouldn't it make the emperor laugh if I wrote it?" Xue Baochai quickly regained his composure and said with a smile.
Jia Yun said with a smile: "It's rare that I have an interest in poetry today. I would like to read more poems. You are not even willing to satisfy my wish?"
