Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

Like everyone else, Su Feiran studied hard day and night.

She brought dozens of volumes of poetry from Dali Garden and read them one by one, and ended up enjoying herself.

There are many outrageous things in this world, and here she discovered another one.

——Why is the literary level of this world so low!

Very low, ridiculously low!

No wonder the concubines in the back garden were so eager to read the words they had said to her before. Those clichéd modern online novel routines turned out to be so popular when applied to ancient times.

It turned out that it was not entirely because they thought the book Su Feiran talked about was novel, but because they sincerely thought that she talked very well and had a high level of literary attainment!

Among the poems that were good enough to be included in the Dali Garden collection, there were no poems that Su Feiran was familiar with. Instead, there were more poems that were made up by unknown writers. Su Feiran flipped through a few pages and finally saw a poem that looked familiar:

Ice Breaking Song

[Seven Years of Good Luck] Zhang Zongchang

I saw a crack in the ground.

It will freeze if you fill it with cold water.

If it's not frozen,

Who knew there was a crack here?

Su Feiran looked down and found a few comments from famous people below the poem:

“The use of hypothetical rhetoric is brilliant!”

"Uncle Zhang's actions are bold and his words are precise, which is rare in the poetry world!"

“Suitable for family reading.”

Su Feiran was puzzled, and pointed to these famous comments and asked Yuxiao: "Why do they call this poet Zhang Shishu?"

"When Zhang Zongchang became famous, he was already close to knowing his fate. He usually liked to make friends and build good relationships, especially he liked to hang out with the younger generation, so he got this name." Yu Xiao explained, "This is also what Empress Xian told me in the past. Empress Xian once collected a collection of Zhang Shishu's poems. She said that his poems were natural and without any embellishment, but they could express the meaning accurately. 'One more word or one less word is not acceptable', which is the poet's achievement."

“Don’t Empress Xian think that her evaluation is higher than Uncle Zhang Shi’s literary attainments in poetry?” Su Feiran’s eyebrows twitched.

What kind of taste did the ancients have! ! ! !

Yu Xiao smiled slightly, "Before entering the palace, Empress Xian was the top talent in Jiangyin Poetry Society. In terms of talent, Empress Xian is not much worse than Uncle Zhang Shi. It's just that Empress Xian entered the palace early, and she didn't write many poems, so her talent and reputation are not known to the world."

Su Feiran frowned, thinking that this was not right. Usually, she saw the concubines in the palace all quoting scriptures and seemed to have a high level of education. How could something like "Ice Breaking Song" be so appealing to them?

Su Feiran told Yu Xiao about her doubts. Yu Xiao took the book Su Feiran had chosen with doubt and turned to the first page. It clearly read:

“6+, EC level, early childhood reading material.”

Yuxiao flipped through all the poetry books that Su Feiran had brought back and found that all she had chosen were early childhood education reading materials for students aged 6+.

No wonder the master thinks these poems are not up to standard! These poems are for children's enlightenment!

"Master, where did you find these books?" Yu Xiao was also puzzled. Su Feiran just said that he was going to move books. Could it be that he was not going to Dali Garden, but to the kindergarten?

Su Feiran scratched his head and answered honestly, "Of course it's Dali Garden. My paintings are hung there! These poetry collections are placed at the entrance. I guess someone has read them recently, maybe one of the sisters who participated in the competition. I was too lazy to choose, so I brought them all back."

"There won't be anything like this specifically for children to read in Dali Garden," Yu Xiao said with a strange look on her face. "Besides you, Ronghua, other concubines who want to go to Dali Garden need to apply to the Eunuchs in advance, and the Eunuchs will then ask the emperor for approval. Not everyone is willing to go through such a cumbersome process."

"You mean, no other sister besides me has ever been to Dali Garden?"

"I'm afraid so." Yu Xiao replied.

"Wait, these books for children..."

Su Feiran and Yu Xiao had maintained a normal expression just now, but when Su Feiran said this, they both realized something at the same time.

They looked at each other at the same time, their mouths opened in surprise, and their jaws almost dislocated.

Yu Xiao rushed to the door quickly, closed the door of the east attic, and even lowered the window bracket. Then, with a look of astonishment on her face, she returned to her original position and continued to stare blankly at Su Feiran.

Since concubines did not go to Dali Garden, these books would not have been brought in by them.

Even if the ministers went to Dali Garden, they would be searched when entering and leaving, and they would never bring in foreign reading materials.

These children's books could only have been brought in by Qin Fengan!

Why did he bring children's books into Dali Garden?

Could it be that......

"Empress Xian, she..." Yu Xiao swallowed hard and said hesitantly, "She has been...indeed, very close to His Majesty recently."

Su Feiran was also in doubt, "Empress Jia said... the eunuch supervisor has recorded Empress Xian sleeping with him more than a dozen times in the past month..."

"Master, you say..." Yu Xiao blinked after a while, "Can the imperial physician diagnose a pregnancy of one month?"

"I've never been pregnant, how would I know?"

Su Feiran raised her hand stiffly and raised the teacup to her lips tremblingly. Just as she was about to take a sip of tea to calm her nerves, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the door, which immediately startled her.

"Master, why did you lock the door in broad daylight?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door. It was Xunyin who came back from the eunuch department to get the cloth.

Yuxiao put this horrifying matter aside for the time being, went to unlock the door, and let Xunyin in.

Xunyin gathered the cloth she was holding neatly onto the bamboo rack, then curiously watched Yuxiao lock the door again and asked, "Sister Yuxiao, what are you doing?"

Su Feiran looked at Xun Yin with an indescribable expression, then pushed a stool towards her and said, "Sit down first."

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Xun Yin just sat down when he suddenly remembered that he had just gone to the Eunuch Bureau and had not had time to report something when he came back. He hurriedly said, "Master, put aside the other things first and listen to me. I just found something strange in the Eunuch Bureau!"

"What?" Su Feiran's emotions had become numb. She really didn't think anything could be more shocking than Lin Xiuqing's pregnancy.

Xunyin rolled his eyes upwards, thought for a moment and said, "It's a piece of jade with a strange shape. It must have been roughly cut. I took a quick look and it's big enough to be held in one hand. I don't know which queen in the palace wanted to make a piece of jewelry and cut the fine jade into such a strange shape!"

After saying that, he took the paper and pen from the table and hastily sketched the appearance of the jade he saw.

Xun Yin put pen to paper and gave the sketch to Su Feiran and Yu Xiao for review. However, they both showed expressions as if they saw the world collapse.

Su Feiran was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the paper for a moment. The paper slowly fell to the ground, and the side with the sketch drawn by Xunyin was stuck to the ground.

However, that image was deeply imprinted in the minds of Su Feiran and Yu Xiao and could not be erased.

Su Feiran just saw that what Xunyin drew was a heart shape.

——What kind of jewelry needs to be carved from a piece of jade as big as the palm of a fist and almost in the shape of a heart?

Longevity lock!
