After a broken heart, I traveled through time and space and became an abandoned concubine. My fate i
Chapter 9: Cold and Warm 2 Worlds
Seeing the last bunch of dry firewood burning out, but the water still couldn't boil, let alone cook, Xiao Taozi's mood instantly plummeted to the bottom. "Sister, the wet firewood from a few days ago is still not dry, and now there is nothing to burn. What should I do?!" There was a tearful tone in her voice, and her face was full of anxiety and helplessness.
Su Jin looked at the clear but breezeless sky and smiled, "Don't worry, sister, someone will be here to deliver food soon!"
"How can that food compare to what you usually eat, sister? Even if you eat it, it's just a little bit and it's not enough to fill your stomach!" Little Taozi stomped her feet in anxiety.
"It's okay, it's okay. Look at the weather, sister. It would be a shame not to bask in the sun." Su Jin said, taking Xiao Taozi's hand and walking towards the garden together.
Su Jin took Xiao Taozi to admire the flowers while drying the wet firewood.
But seeing a cluster of extremely bright flowers, Su Jin pointed and said:
"Little Peach, why don't you try?"
Little Peach thought for a moment and then chanted the following verse:
"The flowers are delicate and beautiful,
Trembling alone in the wind."
Su Jin gave him an encouraging and approving look and said:
"My sister's poem has a certain charm.
If the word "tremble" is changed to "bloom",
It can better highlight the vitality of flowers."
After listening to it, Xiao Taozi made some changes and sang it a few more times by herself.
"The flowers are delicate and beautiful,
Blooming alone in the wind."
He nodded to Su Jin, not quite understanding what she meant.
After reading it, Su Jin also improvised a poem about flowers:
"Flowers bloom in the spring garden,
The fragrance fills the path.
My heart is drawn to the delicate color of the buds,
The poetic feeling is naturally strong."
After hearing this, Little Peach praised it highly and said loudly:
"My sister's talent,
My sister would be content if she could get half of it."
Su Jin was patted by the praise, feeling very happy. He looked at the sun and said:
"Sister, you are in the period of growing up.
Nutrition cannot be lacking.
Let's look at these firewood.
Go cook!"
Xiao Taozi and Su Jin worked hard to sort out some relatively dry firewood from the wet straw, and took it back to light a fire to cook again. For a moment, thick smoke billowed, choking Xiao Taozi and making her cough uncontrollably. "Sister, don't stay here anymore. Please go out first. This firewood is not dry and the smoke is too thick."
Su Jin thought for a moment and said:
"Then I'll go dig some lettuces."
So, Xiao Taozi was left alone in the kitchen, surrounded by thick smoke. Fortunately, the chimney was still working well, directing the smoke outwards, straight into the sky. Meanwhile, Su Jin turned and headed to the vegetable garden, where he began to work.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Garden, a grand flower viewing event is in full swing.
The Imperial Garden is awash with vibrant blossoms, each a dazzling display of color. The vibrant blossoms vie for attention, creating a vibrant sea of color. Gentle breezes sweep through the blossoms, swaying the blossoms and emitting bursts of enchanting fragrance, leaving the heart relaxed and refreshed.
The Emperor, clad in a bright yellow dragon robe and crown, sat majestically and solemnly on the throne of honor, his face brimming with a joyful smile that seemed to dispel any gloom. The Empress, clad in a magnificent phoenix robe and crown, sat beside the Emperor with graceful demeanor, embodying the demeanor of a mother who rules the country. The Empress watched the concubines perform, smiling and nodding slightly, and praised Hua Fei's pipa playing, saying, "Hua Fei's pipa skills have improved again. The music is moving and enchanting."
The princes, all handsome and dignified, dressed in splendid attire, gathered together, chatting and laughing. They discussed poetry and songs, or exchanged statecraft, displaying the aura of youthful promise, their confident demeanor seeming to herald a glorious future. The princesses, clad in vibrant palace attire and adorned with dazzling jewels, were like delicate flowers, radiating youthful vitality.
At this time, the Queen turned to look at the princes and princesses and gently preached: "You should take the talents of the ladies as examples, study diligently, and constantly improve yourselves."
The ministers, clad in solemn court robes, stood respectfully by. Their gazes fixed, they watched the emperor's every move, ready to respond at any moment. One minister displayed his artistic talent, painting a majestic landscape that seemed to capture the vastness of the mountains and rivers on paper. Another minister recited poetry with eloquence and emotion, his passionate tone piercing the heart. Some ministers praised each other, their eyes filled with admiration; others competed with each other, a subtle sneer playing on their lips.
The concubines dressed up carefully and tried their best to stand out in this grand event.
Concubine Hua was the first to appear, gracefully seated, her pipa in hand. Her delicate fingers plucking the pipa, the melodies resembling pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and melodious. As she played, she sang, her voice melodious and lingering, captivating the audience. At the end of the song, Concubine Hua bowed slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation, hoping for the Emperor's praise.
Concubine Li danced gracefully, clad in a pink dress that flowed like petals. Her movements were graceful and elegant, her figure swaying like a fluttering butterfly. Every spin and leap was perfectly timed, showcasing her exquisite dancing skills and graceful figure, captivating the audience.
Concubine Min demonstrated her calligraphy skills. She walked to the table, picked up her brush, and dipped it in ink. With a single, unbroken stroke, she composed a vigorous and powerful work. Her elegant and graceful handwriting exuded a sense of grandeur and elegance, revealing her profound cultural heritage and drawing admiration.
Zhen Fei sang a little song. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley. Her song was full of deep emotion, as if she was telling a touching story, which moved people.
Other concubines also showed off their talents. Some of them embroidered exquisitely, with silk threads running through their hands, and the embroidered patterns were lifelike, as if they were about to jump out of the brocade; some of them painted vividly, and the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds they painted seemed to jump out of the paper, making people feel as if they were in the beautiful scenery in the painting; some of them wrote outstanding poems, which were catchy and full of charm when recited, making people immersed in the poetic world.
The entire imperial garden was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
The emperor would sometimes smile and nod, expressing his admiration for the talents of his concubines, "My beloved concubines are all talented and gifted, which is a feast for my eyes." Sometimes he would whisper with the empress, sharing their joy. The intimacy made people feel the deep affection between the emperor and the empress.
The princes exchanged views and commented on the performances of the concubines. "Hua Fei's pipa skills have become more and more exquisite." "Li Fei's dance is truly magnificent."
The princesses gathered together and discussed excitedly, "Concubine Min's calligraphy is unparalleled." "Concubine Zhen's singing is so beautiful."
Ministers also took this opportunity to exchange ideas and strengthen their friendship. One minister praised the flower viewing event, saying, "This flower viewing event is truly wonderful and demonstrates the prosperity of our dynasty."
However, as luck would have it, a young palace maid accidentally broke the cup prepared for the Concubine Shu. The Concubine Shu's eyes widened as she roared, "How dare you, you rude servant, do such a thing!" The frightened maid fell to her knees and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!" The Emperor, though slightly displeased, said, "It's all right, as long as everyone is happy." The Empress also chimed in, "Yes, today is a great day. Don't let such a small matter spoil the fun."
At this moment, a rain of petals suddenly fell from the sky. It turned out that the palace maids were scattering petals from high above. The pink and white petals fluttered in the air, creating a dreamlike scene.
The concubines were even more excited and showed off their beauty in the rain of petals, hoping to attract the emperor's attention.
However, in this joyful atmosphere, some people are happy while others are worried.
Concubine Shu looked at the other concubines who were in the spotlight and felt indignant, "Why do they get the emperor's attention?" She secretly thought about how to stand out more in front of the emperor, and at the same time thought about how to suppress those favored concubines.
Some of the concubines who were not favored sat in the corner, feeling sad and envious of their sisters who were the emperor's favorites. "When will it be my turn to show my talent?"
The water in the Imperial Garden's lake was crystal clear, with fish swimming happily. Delicious snacks and fruits were laid out by the lake for everyone to enjoy.
The dancers also appeared on the stage one after another. They were dressed in gauze and their dancing moves were graceful and dazzling.
The emperor was in high spirits and praised the wonderful performance before him. "Today's grand event makes me very happy. I will reward everyone well."
