Rebirth of the fairy in the painting

Emperor Mingde was sitting in the imperial study room, thinking about the handkerchief in his hand, and while he was meditating, the eunuch Fuquan beside him came over, and said softly beside him: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and Qin Tianjian are asking to see you."

This Qin Tianjian is an official who is in charge of the sky, time and ephemeris, and is also responsible for interpreting dreams and fates for the royal family, so Emperor Mingde summoned him today.

"Let them in."

Fuquan went out to preach, and soon the prince and Qin Tianjian came in, and after seeing Emperor Mingde, they were given to sit on both sides.

The prince opened his mouth first and said: "Father, I see that your complexion is slightly better today than a few days ago, but you are no longer haunted by nightmares?"

Emperor Mingde's mood improved, and he was facing his favorite son again, because of his easy-going expression, he said: "I was still troubled by nightmares last night, but I was instructed by an expert in my dream."

"What advice do you receive, can the emperor tell you?"

Emperor Mingde didn't answer, turned his eyes to Qin Tianjian Zheng: "Can Zhuge Aiqing interpret a dream for me?"

Qin Tianjian was leaving his seat and said respectfully: "Please tell me, your majesty, I will definitely do my best."

Emperor Mingde recalled: "Last night, not long after I fell asleep, I dreamed that a giant python was about to swallow me. Fortunately, I was rescued by an old man with white beard. Then he subdued the giant python and saved my life. Later, I wanted to ask him to help get rid of this nightmare, but he couldn't do anything. Instead, he gave me a handkerchief with a poem inscribed on it. Surprisingly, I After waking up, you will hold the veil that mentioned the poem in your dream in your hand, what do you think is the explanation?"

Qin Tianjian was receiving the handkerchief handed over by Emperor Mingde, and after looking at it for a while, he smiled and said, "My Majesty, this is probably an instruction given to you by some passing god."

Emperor Mingde became interested, and immediately asked: "What is the explanation for this?"

"Your Majesty, this veil contains righteousness and righteousness, and it is not something evil. Combined with the dream that the emperor said, I boldly guess that the old man came to dispel your nightmare for you. Come to help."

Hearing this, the crown prince asked curiously, "Lord Zhuge, what is the explanation for the poem in this handkerchief?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the first two sentences in this poem are about leaning on a railing to climb a high place and saving lives in white clothes, because it means that the emperor will meet a man in white clothes on a high place, and that person will help the emperor get rid of this nightmare, but after that The two sentences of marriage are predestined by heaven and cannot be reversed, forgive me for my lack of talent and learning, so I can't understand it for a while."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand: "The last two sentences are fine, as long as they can help me get rid of this nightmare, my heart will be at ease."

"Father said, I don't know if Lord Zhuge can figure out when the man in white will appear?"

"Your Highness, I can't figure it out."

"It's okay," Emperor Mingde summoned Fuquan, "pass on my will. If anyone who can cure my nightmare disease, I will not only reward him with a thousand taels of gold, but also satisfy his request unconditionally. As for the man in white, Ming'er you Send someone to search privately, and be sure to find it.”

"My son obeys."

In the imperial garden, Chunzhi supported Concubine Xian to walk on the path, plum blossoms on both sides were in full bloom, because of the snowfall last night, the bright red was covered with a layer of snow white, the contrast was sharp.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Eunuch Liang that the Emperor had a dream last night. In the dream, there was a fairy pointing out that the Emperor asked the Emperor to find a man in white at a high place, and then he would be able to relieve the Emperor from his nightmare."

The plum branch in Concubine Xian's hand snapped at the sound: "Is there a fairy pointing out in the dream? A man in white at a high place? Heh, there are so many gods and ghosts in this world."

"Your Majesty, be careful, you would rather believe what you have than what you don't have. I also heard that the emperor has issued an imperial decree to visit capable people from the people. If you can cure the emperor's illness, you can also meet one requirement. Madam, what do you say?" , will anyone really be able to see that we made it..."

"Shut up," Concubine Xian interrupted Chun Zhi sharply, "Even the imperial physicians in the palace can't see it. I don't believe that the grass-headed doctors in the people can see it. As for the people in white clothes, I will never let the emperor Chance to see."

Chun Zhi repeatedly said yes, and under the staring gaze of Concubine Xian, she supported her and walked towards the pavilion in the garden.

After Emperor Mingde's imperial decree was issued, many people came to reveal the list, but no one could cure his illness. Emperor Mingde saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and even pinned his hopes on the man in white, but the crown prince There was no news from Bian, even if he was anxious, he could only wait patiently.

The days flew by in the expectation of Emperor Mingde, and it was the New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. The palace held a reunion banquet on New Year's Eve. Although An Xining wanted to spend it with Zi Hua, he had no choice but to have a mission , can only leave to enter the palace.

The weather was cold, with snowflakes floating in the air, and a thick layer of snow was covering the carriage as it kicked along. However, the carriage was warm because of the heater and the thick cotton curtains to block the cold wind outside. Cozy, very comfortable.

An Xining leaned on Zihua as if he had no bones, stretched his arms and wrapped him in his arms, muttering and asking: "Zihua, the medicine given to the emperor by the concubine Xian is really so powerful that the imperial physician and the folks are attracted by it." None of the doctors can see the slightest sign?"

Zi Hua was holding a book and reading, when he heard the words, he said casually: "It's nothing strange, because I put a blindfold on your father, and most people can't see it."

"How can I lure my father to Zhen Guo Pagoda later?"

"Then it's up to you."

An Xining was dissatisfied. This was a matter related to the happiness of their lives. How could he be so perfunctory in answering, so he pulled out the book from Zihua's hand, and said in a serious manner: "Zihua, on the bumpy road If you see it in the carriage, it will be bad for your eyes, so I will put it away for you first."

Zihua frowned and refused: "Give it back to me first, and let me read the next chapter."

An Xining himself is not a lover of reading, and he is completely puzzled by this thirst for knowledge: "What's so good about this book that it makes you miss it until you finish the next chapter?"

Zi Hua nodded solemnly: "I miss you very much, the next chapter is the focus."

An Xining became curious, and took out the book in his hand to read, only to see the words "Resurrection" written on the cover, and after a quick look at the contents, it was nothing more than "Privately set the back garden for life, the number one scholar among troubled scholars" stories, and this book is a popular small story book on a copper plate at a street stall.

"Zi Hua, you're actually looking at something like this."

Zi Hua snatched the book back from An Xining's hands, and while carefully turning to the part that he hadn't finished reading just now, he continued to look down, and said calmly, "I asked Xiao Yantai to buy it for me. After reading a few books, it's pretty good." interesting."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, then turned to look at An Xining: "I think the plots in these little picture books are quite interesting, and I can even learn from them."

The corner of An Xining's mouth twitched: "How to learn from it?"

"What I read in my book was the story of a poor girl who saved the emperor and later became a queen. Although it is not in line with history, it is not impossible to use some methods on us."

An Xining had a bad premonition, and the alarm bells rang in his heart, and it was so difficult: "Zi Hua, then you didn't learn the plan this time from that story book, did you?"

Zi Hua gave him an appreciative look, An Xining's heart was ashamed, his lifelong happiness, why did he have the feeling of being a test case for Zi Hua.

Zi Hua got off the carriage before entering the palace, and An Xining went to the banquet alone. The New Year's Eve banquet in the palace is not so much a reunion as a ceremony.

The concubines, princes and princesses came to salute the emperor and queen respectively, congratulating the New Year, and then watched the Nuo dance arranged by the minister of Taichang Temple. This is the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty since the founding of the country. I pray that the coming year will be suitable for cold and heat, good weather, abundant grains, safety for people and animals, and prosperity of the country and people.

When the gongs and drums were played, five little ghosts with ghost masks on their heads, red, purple, green, gray, and yellow belly wraps, sticks and forks in their hands, and soft-soled embroidered cloth shoes appeared on the stage. , and then the blue-faced judge came on stage, wearing a black gauze hat with wings on his head, a red and purple gold robe, a pair of thick-soled long soap boots on his feet, a jade board in his left hand, and a sword in his right hand. Zhu Di came out and subdued the arrogant little ghosts one by one.

An Xining watched it carelessly, anyone would get bored watching the same program for 20 years, not to mention there are more important things waiting for him to complete.

After the Nuo dance was over, Emperor Mingde gave a banquet to Qing Qian Palace. After everyone was seated, the palace ladies and eunuchs began to get busy. No one cared about the delicacies served. Although they were the concubines and children of Emperor Mingde, some people It is difficult to see the holy face once a year, so everyone wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to perform well in order to be appreciated by Emperor Mingde.

After finishing the examination and teaching the studies of the princes, the fourth prince stood up and said: "Father, my son heard that the capital city is closed at night tonight, and it is very lively. The people are commenting that it is the father who governs the country well that can create this prosperity. "

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Emperor Ming De is no exception, Dang even laughed out loud: "Qi'er really knows how to talk."

"Father, what my son said is the truth, if you don't believe me, go outside the palace to listen, it's all about your wisdom."

Emperor Mingde laughed again, and An Xining took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Father, my son also heard that the city will be lit up tonight, and there will be a fireworks display. It must be a celebration with the whole city. Would the father and the queen be willing?" Go and have a look?"

Before Emperor Mingde objected, the second prince stood up and said, "Fifth emperor brother, people outside the palace talk a lot. If the father goes out and something happens, who will be responsible?"

"What Zhe'er said is," Concubine Xian continued, "Your Majesty still has to put his own safety first. There are also fireworks and other things in the palace, so there is no need to join in the excitement of the people."

Emperor Mingde also hesitated, An Xining saw this and said: "Father, we can go to the Zhenguo Pagoda to watch, climb down, and have a panoramic view of the bustling city. Not only can we enjoy the fireworks, but we can also go to see the father. The prosperity and prosperity you created."

Ascend!One sentence caused Emperor Mingde and Concubine Xian to look at him one after another.
