Liu Yong's masterpiece describing the autumn scenery was completely changed by Qin Mu's quoting out of context. This made Li Xiangjun and the other four beauties, who were so beautiful that they all said in unison, "I'm so angry!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong? Did I write it badly?" The Emperor of Qin looked innocent, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Li Xiangjun knew that the more he talked, the more he would never stop, so she said, "Your Majesty, please come up with the second couplet."
"Oh." He seemed to be still immersed in the vivid words, muttering, "The jade sky is beyond control, the golden stem has dew, the golden...stem has dew, um, Xiangjun, what is your first couplet?"
As Dong Xiaowan and the other two hid their mouths and giggled, Li Xiangjun gave a certain incompetent emperor a coquettish look: "My first couplet is: When the sky is clear, I see sparse stars crossing the Milky Way."
Then she added: "The last seven words come from Su Dongpo's "Dongxian Ge": I got up and held my white hands, the courtyard was silent, and sometimes I saw sparse stars crossing the Milky Way."
Qin Mu laughed and said, "How difficult is that? Since I have said that I will fight four people alone, I will not be vague."
When he talked about fighting one against four, his eyes swept over the four women, and the blazing fire made the four women feel hot. Xu Ruoshi quickly said, "Since your majesty has the second couplet, then come up with it quickly."
This time, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor was really straightforward and said immediately: "My four beloved concubines, listen carefully. My second line is: Spring love is like wine, secretly following the flowing water to the end of the world."
The first four words of Qin Mu's couplet come from Jiang Kui's self-composed song "Jiao Zhao": I am thin because of spring, how can I bear to walk around the West Lake with its weeping willows.
Since I looked at the peaks beyond the smoke, I remembered holding hands with you on the lake. You have not been away for long... I feel sad for the spring as before, and my spring heart is like wine.
The last seven words are from Qin Guan's "Watching the Sea Tide": In the smoke and dusk, the wine flags are slanting, but leaning on the building and looking into the distance, I can see crows roosting from time to time, but I have no choice but to return home, and secretly follow the flowing water to the end of the world.
This "Spring heart is like a sprinkle of dust, following the flowing water to the end of the world" together with Li Xiangjun's "When the jade sky is dust-free, sparse stars are seen crossing the Milky Way" form a wonderful couplet. There is no awkwardness at all, it is as natural as it can be.
However, the behavior of a certain foolish emperor obviously aroused the anger of the beauties. Although he treated him well, the four beauties still kept talking to him, saying that this was wrong and that was not good, and they were seriously finding fault with him.
In line with the principle of being a tyrant to the end. His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor was fed up and said to Xu Ruoshi, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Zhiyin: "Stop finding faults. I have matched Xiangjun's two couplets. The remaining three of you, each of you should come up with a couplet. Hurry up, I have matched them, so we can go back to our room and rest together."
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he picked up the lotus white jade cup and drank. His eyes wandered over the three beauties. Under the reflection of the red sandalwood inlaid white jade poetry palace lantern, the three beauties had infinitely graceful and moving figures, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. They competed with each other for beauty. Some had slender waists and jade belts tied to the sky, some had bones made of water and skin made of jade, and some had a pear branch with spring rain. Some had thousands of charming figures breaking the morning glow.
Such a stunning beauty, if you can get one of them, you will have endless happiness, Qin Mu is greedy and wants to get drunk and sleep with her again tonight.
The snow fell silently outside the palace, the imperial garden was peaceful, and the clear moonlight sprinkled on the snow-covered palace, as pure as ice and jade.
Cuiwei Palace was warm as spring, Dong Xiaowan and the others were all wearing bright palace costumes, with graceful figures, which made people indulge in them. No wonder he was greedy.
The three beauties looked at each other, with their own thoughts, but no matter what they were thinking, who in this palace would want to make him unhappy
Qin Mu put down the lotus white jade cup, hugged Li Xiangjun and said with a smile: "Zhiyin, you go first."
Li Zhiyin glanced at him leisurely, then chanted softly, "Your Majesty, the first line of my couplet is: Fragrant grass connects the horizon with many mountains and many rivers."
Qin Mu looked thoughtful, but his hands were not idle. He swam down from Li Xiangjun's slender waist to her soft and round buttocks. After a while, he answered: "Then my second couplet is: Falling leaves, fragrant, rain and wind."
Li Xiangjun snuggled in his arms, enjoying his warm embrace and gentle caress. With a pretty blush, she pointed out the origins of the couplets one by one, and then praised: "Sister Zhiyin's first couplet is well-written, and your majesty's second couplet is also wonderful. It's a perfect match, hehe."
When Dong Xiaowan saw that she had "betrayed and surrendered to the enemy", she actually praised Qin Mu. Although she really praised him, she still couldn't help but pounce on her, tickling and pinching her, causing Li Xiangjun to burrow into Qin Mu's arms, giggling.
Qin Mu finally succeeded in inciting a rebellion, and quickly came to Li Xiangjun's rescue, saying, "Xiao Wan, it's your turn now. If you don't answer the questions, I will take it as your abstention."
"Your Majesty, I will not give up my power."
"Hahaha... ... ."
Dong Xiaowan was usually a very elegant beauty, but when faced with such an occasion, after a fight with Li Xiangjun, the atmosphere in the palace became unusually heated, and she herself became a little more charming.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Listen carefully, Your Majesty. The first line of my couplet is: The cold geese first fly south for me to convey my thoughts."
This time, Qin Mu seemed to be assisted by God. He answered without thinking too much: "I will give you the second line of my couplet: Jiang Mei has a promise to love him and endure his coldness."
Dong Xiaowan was surprised and stunned. She didn't expect Qin Mu to respond so quickly and well. She had stared at Li Xiangjun carefully and was sure that it was not Li Xiangjun who was helping him. Now she had nothing to say.
Qin Mu laughed triumphantly, and he hugged her over and kissed her. He searched the two beauties for a while before looking up at Xu Ruoshi and said, "Ruoshi, you are the only one left. What do you think? Do you want to give up?"
Xu Ruoshi's face was already flushed as if she was drunk. She was naturally reserved, but the "tyrant" in front of her liked to be surrounded by all kinds of beauties and fragrance.
Thinking of the last time he carried her back to the room and the scene when they sang and danced together with Dong Xiaowan and others, she couldn't help but feel soft and hot all over, and even her cheeks turned red, making her look even more charming and fragrant.
The Emperor of Qin seemed impatient and urged again: "Ruoshi, look, it's so cold. If you give up, you will feel lonely and miserable in this severe winter snowy night. How can you bear it yourself..."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Ruoshi couldn't help but interrupt him with a coquettish look, her forehead was as beautiful as that of an attractive lady, and her fragrance was as fragrant as the autumn dew.
"Hahaha... Then I'm in a bad mood. I'll give you a little more time to decide. The night is long and I will search for it up and down... Hiss, Xiangjun, be gentle, I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more..."
While the Emperor of Qin was busy trying to recover the interest from Li Xiangjun, Xu Ruoshi's heart was in turmoil. Although she was reserved, she didn't want to go back alone in her empty room. Besides, it had come to this point, and if she ruined the Emperor's interest, it would not do her any good in the future.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I... ... I wrote the first line of the couplet: The fine grass and smoke are still green, and the distant mountains are even greener in the evening."
"The fine grass and smoke are still green, and the distant mountains are even greener in the evening. Good, good, good, good, I will do this to you: the yellow leaves fall without wind, and the autumn clouds are long and gloomy without rain."
Tonight, Qin Mu was like someone who had taken countless brain-boosting oral liquids. He was truly invincible and he immediately answered Xu Ruoshi's first couplet. Not to mention Li Xiangjun who had already "rebelled and surrendered", even Xu Ruoshi herself had to admire him from the bottom of her heart.
The verses they picked up all have their sources, and they were skillfully transplanted and turned into wonderful couplets, which is something that ordinary people cannot do.
Qin Mu fought one against four tonight, and he spoke eloquently and answered questions fluently. I don't know if he was possessed by the star of literature, or if it was because of the excessive secretion of hormones that activated his brain cells, but he won the hearts of the four beauties.
It is said that there is only utilitarianism and open and covert struggles in the palace. It is a blessing for every woman who enters the palace to meet such an emperor who is not only young and handsome, but also has the pleasure of reading poems and drinking wine under the moon and flowers. Although this "tyrant" is quite bad... ... .
In fact, to be honest, there are probably few emperors better than him in this deep palace.
In fact, even among the common people, it is not uncommon for a man with many wives and concubines to sleep on the same bed.
Xu Ruoshi was still trying to convince herself when she felt a sudden tightness around her waist. "Ah!" She screamed and felt her body suddenly leave the ground and fall into Qin Mu's arms.
"Hahaha, beautiful flowers don't always bloom, good times don't always last, life should be enjoyed to the fullest, beauty, what are you waiting for..." The beauty was in his arms, soft and fragrant, graceful and charming, with an indescribable romantic demeanor. His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin held one in each hand and walked towards the back hall.
The wine on the table has been finished, the moon is lingering outside the window, the imperial garden is quiet, the wind is still and the snow is white, the second watch drum sounded in the city, it is time for the birds to sing and the birds to dance, and the couples to sing in harmony... ... ... ...
