After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 136: The 9-Grid Secret Box, the Imperial Concubine's Secret
"Ye Jin, do you admit your guilt?"
Emperor Yonghui has always been a benevolent emperor.
It is said that a palace maid forgot to prepare tea during the court session, and he resisted the urge to ask for tea throughout the entire morning court session. When the Empress Dowager asked him about this afterwards, he said that he couldn't bear to see the palace maid being punished.
He was even kinder than Emperor Huaimin and was so considerate to the people in the palace. The court officials rarely saw him lose his temper.
At this time, even the Queen did not expect that Ye Jin's poem would anger Emperor Yonghui so much!
Originally, this trap was prepared by the Queen for Xiao Xuetang, but Ye Jin jumped into it, and the Queen could only stand by and watch.
Ye Jin had not expected such a sudden change. She reacted immediately and quickly knelt on the ground to apologize: "Your Majesty, please tell me what crime your Majesty has committed."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone gasped and looked at Ye Jin with horror.
The emperor was furious. No matter what the reason was, he should have directly apologized. How could someone question the emperor?
This Ye Jin is so bold!
At this time, everyone misunderstood Ye Jin. She really didn't mean it.
Although Ye Jin had been in Kyoto for such a long time and often went in and out of the palace, he was always busy trying to please the Queen and had never really learned the palace rules.
After all, Ye Jin has always been a lively and unruly person. Even if she has some flaws in etiquette, the emperor and empress are used to seeing the noble ladies in Kyoto who strictly abide by etiquette and are very strict. Instead, they will remember her because of a small mistake.
Ye Jin's trick might really work under normal circumstances, but the emperor was angry at the moment, and her words were like adding fuel to the fire!
If Ye Jin had met an emperor with a violent temper, he would have been dragged away and beheaded by now. Fortunately, Ye Jin met a rare kind emperor.
Emperor Yonghui felt a headache at this moment, but he laughed out of anger and looked at Ye Jin and said, "Did you really write this poem?"
"Yes……"
Ye Jin was about to say yes, but she was smart enough to realize that the expression on Emperor Yonghui's face was too scary, so she changed her words...
"It was your humble servant. I had seen this poem before in a rare copy and I quoted it for reference. Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was not intentional!"
These words immediately caused an uproar. Xiao Yunni, who was standing by, was just watching the fun and said, "Ye Jin, the Queen just said that only poems written by yourself will count. Aren't you proud of your family background and your talent? Why do you want to copy poems when you can't even write a quatrain?"
Ye Jin was distracted and glared at Xiao Yunni fiercely, with a look that seemed to wish he could cut Xiao Yunni into pieces!
But in front of Emperor Yonghui, she said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment and worried that I would be blamed by Your Majesty for not being able to write a poem, so I borrowed a poem. Now I have come up with a new one. Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake."
After saying that, Ye Jin knelt on the ground, looking extremely humble...
Emperor Yonghui said nothing at this time, his face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Queen knew that he must be thinking about that bitch Xie Wanyue, but Xiao Xuetang knew more than the Queen...
The song "Lovesickness" was composed by Concubine Xie herself for Emperor Yonghui.
In those days, Concubine Xie was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she did not compose poetry or fu easily. The only piece of writing that has been preserved is this one.
However, Xiao Xuetang had only heard Concubine Xie sing the song "Lovesickness" once in the past. Emperor Yonghui wanted to copy it down, but was stopped by Concubine Xie.
At that time, the imperial concubine said that she hoped this poem would become a secret of their love and not be spread to anyone else.
As the third person present, Xiao Xuetang was completely ignored.
However, this did not prevent Xiao Xuetang from remembering it. Even after more than ten years, she still remembered it clearly. That was why Emperor Yonghui lost his composure when he first saw Ye Jin's quatrain.
When Emperor Yonghui saw Ye Jin kneeling on the ground and sincerely admitting his guilt, his anger subsided a little...
When the imperial concubine wrote the lyrics, she did not say that they were her original creation. Perhaps she saw it by chance in a rare copy. Emperor Yonghui was not such an unreasonable emperor, so she did not vent her anger on Ye Jin.
"Get up."
Emperor Yonghui said coldly.
Emperor Yonghui's doubts were resolved, but at this moment Xiao Xuetang's heart was filled with turmoil.
Because she knew better than Emperor Yonghui that Ye Jin's poems were not something he had seen in a single copy...
These things should not belong to this era, but to thousands of years later!
But why did the imperial concubine write poems for later generations when she was drunk, but when she sobered up, she wanted to burn everything and not let it be circulated...
There is only one possibility for all this...
The imperial concubine also came from later times!
Xiao Xuetang suddenly got goose bumps all over his body, and his expression was filled with shock, fear, and... uneasiness.
At this time, Ye Jin stood up in fear.
I rewrote a song called "Nan Ge Zi". The line "The exquisite dice are filled with red beans, do you know how deep my longing for you is?", which has been passed down for a hundred years, should have been stunning.
But Ye Jin's poem just now almost caused a huge disaster. People below her didn't dare to praise her anymore, and even Emperor Yonghui seemed to be in low interest.
He wanted to leave several times, but was persuaded by the queen gently.
Emperor Yonghui was thinking about Lin Xun's lifelong affairs. In order to avoid delaying it any further, the regent that Dayin relied on really wanted to become a monk, so he had to be patient and wait until the result was revealed.
In the end, the winner was... Xiao Xuetang!
Ye Jin almost couldn't hold back the ferocity on his face.
This seven-character poem written casually by Xiao Xuetang is ordinary and unremarkable. How can it be compared with her masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages?
Why? !
But Ye Jin's poem just now had already offended the emperor and was suspected of plagiarism. No matter how good her poem was, it did not catch the queen's eye.
So, Xiao Xuetang won.
But Xiao Xuetang didn't want to win at all...
Seeing the queen's dignified smile, Xiao Xuetang knew that a bigger trap was waiting for her!
"Xuetang, it seems that you and Concubine Xie's old things have a special connection."
As soon as the words fell, the emperor, who was originally in low spirits, changed his expression slightly. He looked at the thing in the maid's hand and asked, "How come this thing is hers?!"
The Queen pretended not to notice the Emperor Yonghui's strange expression, and continued in a dignified voice: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, this is also a puzzle that the Imperial Concubine left for us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Queen Wang. It was unclear whether it was because of Queen Wang's unbiased attitude when she mentioned Concubine Xie, or because of this strange Lotus Nine Palaces Secret Box.
"When Wenyuan Pavilion was first built, Concubine Xie personally placed this Lotus Nine Palace Box as a gift in Wenyuan Pavilion. Even His Majesty has forgotten about it over the years. I just happened to remember it today, so I thought of adding some luck to today's poetry gathering."
"But this nine-square wooden box is made up of 81 spaces and 81 characters. You need to move the correct characters to open it. And there is only one person who can decipher the secret left by the imperial concubine..."
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on Xiao Xuetang!
