I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 98 The Queen's Interrogation

We thought that everything would be fine after Zhu Di finished the household registration investigation, so Chunhua, Lili, Feimei, Gege, Xiaoling, and Yueying were excited to receive a set of priceless jewelry each and were preparing to slip away!

Suddenly, an old eunuch came running in and announced, "The queen has arrived!"

Everyone's expressions were startled, and they quickly straightened their posture and knelt down to greet him.

Soon, a graceful and beautiful woman came in, surrounded by a crowd of people.

She was wearing a gorgeous yet dignified phoenix robe, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns in gold thread and sparkled in the sun.

Her face was as white as snow, as if it was carved from jade, with curved eyebrows and a pair of bright and deep eyes, as if containing endless wisdom and majesty. Her nose was straight, and her cherry lips were red without any makeup, exuding a noble and charming aura.

Her hair was tied up high in a bun, dotted with sparkling pearls and emeralds, and it sparkled as she walked gracefully!

Every step she took was filled with royal dignity and elegance, as if she was born to be supreme, which made people feel in awe.

Her temperament is as elegant as orchid, noble yet kind, making people feel in awe yet want to get close to her.

When she stopped and looked at me, Yueying, Lili, Gege, Feimei, Chunhua and Xiaoling in turn, her demeanor of being a gentle and beautiful woman, and the model of the country, made me deeply impressed!

We were about to prostrate ourselves on the ground and kowtow three times and nine times, but the queen smiled kindly.

She raised her hand gracefully to stop us.

Then, her eyes fell directly on me, and like Zhu Di, she began to conduct a household registration investigation on me.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" The queen cast a coquettish glance at me calmly.

I quickly replied, "Your Majesty, my name is Xiangtian. Xiang means studying hard and making progress every day; Tian means studying hard and making progress every day!"

I swallowed a mouthful of water and continued, "I come from a remote mountain called Caoxieya in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province."

The queen looked at me with shining eyes and nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Do you know how many stars there are in the sky?"

I was stunned for a moment. Isn't this question too unbelievable?

Seeing that I was confused, Yueying quickly answered for me, "Empress, there are a total of 1,314 stars in the sky!"

The queen was startled, then smiled, without commenting, and looked at Lili: "Then tell me, does Xiangtian have athlete's foot?"

Lili stuck out her tongue in surprise, tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty! Brother Xiangtian seems to have athlete's foot. We often see him rubbing his itchy feet together!"

Lily's answer immediately caused a burst of laughter, and even I, who thought my face was thicker than a city wall, felt a little embarrassed!

The queen seemed to notice my blushing face, and she winked at me playfully like a child, still with that faint, spring-like smile on her face. Then she turned her cunning eyes to the concubine and said slowly in a teasing tone: "Do you think Xiangtian is manly?"

When the concubine's sister heard this, she was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, saying: "Empress, you are really good at joking. Brother Xiangtian, you are very manly! Any beautiful woman who sees him will be choked to his feet!"

The Queen laughed loudly and said, "Oh my, look at him, he was so nervous when he saw me that he didn't know what to do."

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a bed to crawl into.

The Queen then continued, "Then tell me, where exactly does his masculinity manifest itself?"

Without hesitation, Fei Mei blurted out, "Well, my brother Xiang Tian is tall and mighty, handsome, dignified, heroic, and walks like a dragon or a tiger, with the wind in his step!"

The queen laughed even more happily, looked at me jokingly and said: "Xiangtian, listen, you still have so many advantages in the eyes of your sister, you must keep them!"

I nodded my head repeatedly and was very happy. I secretly made up my mind that I must reward my sister Fei well when I return!

"I heard that Xiang Tianhui wrote poems that were different from those written by Grand Secretary Xie Jin and others. Is that true?"

The Queen changed the subject and looked at Chunhua with narrowed eyes.

Chunhua was startled at first, then her beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "That must be true! My brother Xiangtian even wrote a poem for me! Every time I think of this poem, I feel so happy that I can't sleep!"

"Oh? Is that true? Read the poem he wrote to you!"

The Queen's interest increased immediately! She slammed the table and stood up, urging Chunhua with a beaming look on her face.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt something strange!

Lili, Feimei, Gege, Xiaoling, and especially Yueying, all stopped smiling instantly, and each of them looked at me with anger and resentment.

Yueying's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. Her originally lively eyes were now full of anger. She bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, as if she was trying hard to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Lily narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze was filled with strong vinegar, and her hands were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.

Feimei's eyes were full of grievance, her eye sockets were slightly red, as if she would cry at any time.

Gege turned her head away angrily, mumbling something under her breath.

Xiaoling stared at me straight, and her gaze seemed to want to pierce several holes in me. The atmosphere around us suddenly became extremely solemn and awkward.

"Read it quickly! Read it quickly!"

The Queen didn't seem to notice this, and she kept urging Chunhua with her eyes shining.

Chunhua obviously also felt the uneasy looks from her sisters, but who would dare to disobey the Queen's urging?

She could only moisten her throat and clear her throat and recite:

I never thought that she would be so stunning and charming.

In spring, you warmly embrace the beautiful sun and breeze

Dancing and singing with bees and butterflies

Singing life, singing hope

Life blooms in hope

Dreams grow where flowers bloom

Whether in the eyes of the shepherd boy or the woodcutter

In the paintings and calligraphy

Still in the arms of a lady

In the poems of poets and writers

In fact, you just want to give your youth

Blooming into a flower between the blue sky and the earth

Spring flowers that will never regret

Maybe, when you sing and dance

There will also be sandstorms, wind and rain.

But your smiling face

Still looking at each other in the embrace of love and sincerity

Caring for each heart

This is spring flower, I love spring flower

Loving you makes me more beautiful

The fragrance of the sea and the end of the world

After Chunhua finished reading her poem, the Yangxin Palace fell silent!

No one has made any sound for a long time, and the silence makes me feel a little uneasy!

Is it because I didn’t write this poem well?

Doesn't it match my status of being well-educated and talented?

The reputation is not worthy of it? Let them all look down on me?

I am in a state of panic!

Suddenly, a thunderous applause broke the silence.

The Queen was the first to applaud, and said with a smile on her face: "What a good poem! What a good poem! It is so sincere and full of literary talent!"

The sisters also came back to their senses, with expressions of appreciation or surprise on their faces.

Lili's eyes sparkled as she whispered, "I didn't know Brother Xiangtian had such talent. I am really convinced and impressed!"

The concubine's sister also nodded, and the grievance in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a more affectionate look.

The sorrow in the princess's beautiful eyes disappeared as she said, "Is this poem written for the flowers of spring? I like it!"

Xiaoling no longer stared at me, and the jealousy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had disappeared.

Yueying's expression also eased a lot. Although there was still a hint of anger in her eyes, there was more appreciation for the poem.

She snorted and said, "You are so cruel! But in the future, you can't just write poems for Chunhua. All six of us sisters should have poems like this!"

When I heard that, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, "Of course. In my heart, you six sisters are the best in the world, unparalleled in the world. I will write a thousand or ten thousand poems for each of you six sisters! I will write them when I get back! I will write them when I get back!"

"Going right now!"

Feimei's eyebrows suddenly raised up, her eyes widened, and her hands were firmly placed on her waist, looking like a fierce person.

She hoarsely shouted like a madman: "Hey, what are you still dawdling about? Now! Immediately! Write it right away! Stop dawdling, do you hear me? I can't wait any longer. If you don't write it, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you!" She looked so aggressive, as if she could eat someone up.

Yueying twisted her graceful figure slightly, and stomped her small jade feet lightly. Her eyes sparkled like water waves, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a bit of tenderness and anger, she said softly: "Yes, let's go now."

After saying that, her fair jade-like little hand gently waved her pink little fist. She looked like she was acting coquettishly, but also like she was urging someone, as if she could squeeze water out of her. It made people's hearts soften and gave rise to endless pity and love. It was truly tender and made people intoxicated.

Lily looked up playfully, looking very cute. She put one hand on her waist in a proper manner, and pointed the other hand forward mischievously. Then she blinked her big, lively eyes and said with a smile, "Hey, let's go now! Hurry up!" After saying that, she shook her head, and her braids swung along, as if urging her to move quickly. Her lively and playful appearance was like a cheerful elf, which made people laugh and their hearts were filled with her cute and naughty appearance.

The princess's already beautiful eyes were now wide open, just like Sun Erniang looking at Wu Song at the Cross Hill!

She bit her lips lightly, her cheeks puffed up slightly, as if she was holding back her breath. Then, she raised her chin slightly and said slowly in a cold tone: "Now, let's go."

The voice seemed to come from far away, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty and mysterious aura, which made people unconsciously shocked by her momentum, as if she was the mysterious queen who dominated everything!

Xiaoling raised her head gently, her round eyes shining with a gentle and bright light. Her face was calm, with a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, showing her dignity and grace.

She was like an elegant swan, lightly lifting her slender and graceful legs, and her toes seemed to have magic, gently lifting my chin, and then she said slowly in a leisurely but charming tone: "In my opinion, you really should write a poem for me!"

The expectation in those words was clearly felt, but what was even more obvious was the tacit understanding that needed no further words!

She just stood there, her splits showing her upright and straight figure, just like a graceful lotus in full bloom, releasing an intoxicating breath that could reach people's hearts.

The movement of her slightly lowered head and the tip of her right toe that gently supported my chin, every detail was so exquisite, showing her innate nobility, grandeur and transcendence to the fullest, making people deeply fascinated, as if her existence was the most perfect interpretation of the description of high-end, grandeur and classy, ​​making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves!

But what I never expected was that Chunhua, who already had a poem, also shouted at me: "Yes! Go now! Write one for each of them, so that they won't be jealous and hate me!"

The Queen was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed, laughing so hard that she fell backwards. She pointed at Xiaoling and Lili and said, "Look at you six sisters, you are so anxious! I am confused, why is your brother Xiangtian so charming?"

As she spoke, the Queen laughed until she cried.

After laughing, the queen slowly turned her dignified yet playful eyes towards me. She narrowed her eyes slightly, opened her red lips slightly, and said with a hint of coquettishness and expectation: "Xiangtian, I am also waiting for your poem. Can you write a poem for me right now, right now, in front of me?"

After saying this, the queen deliberately blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and tilted her head slightly. She looked actually quite cute and naive.

She gently tugged at my sleeve and continued in a gentle tone, "Xiangtian, you see that your sisters are so anxious. I am also very anxious. You can't forget me! I fell in love with your talent at first sight! I believe that the poem you wrote for me will not only make me happy, but also spread all over the country, become popular all over the world, and be famous for a hundred generations and a thousand years!"

After she finished speaking, a faint blush appeared on the queen's beautiful face, adding a bit of charming charm.

At this moment, a wonderful feeling surged in my heart, including the joy of being so anticipated by my sisters, and also a little panic when facing their enthusiasm.

I looked at the queen's beautiful and expectant face, and I felt my heart almost melted. I quickly responded with a smile: "Haha, Queen, don't worry. Xiangtian, I will definitely not forget you. I will definitely write the most touching poem for you."

I felt my face getting slightly hot. I was actually flattered to be surrounded and waited on by them like this.

At the same time, I feel extremely happy. It is my great luck to have such a group of lovely and charming sisters!

Listening to the sisters joking with each other, I was intoxicated by the cheerful atmosphere. The Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with laughter, and my heart was filled with warmth and happiness...
