Consort Taizhen couldn’t believe that King Song was involved in this ot you to burn?”
Consort Taizhen said with a deep voice, but there wasn’t any trace of anger in her tone
“Your Highness, please forgiveit over!”
Curiosity had overwhelhts to bla’s letter privately
At the same time, Consort Taizhen was bewildered She was certain that the letter King Song had sent her was filled with insults Why would there be a poem in it? How could one scold another with a poe aside the young palace maids, the older nannies should at least know better
Such thoughts caused her curiosity to intensify further
Soon, the maid returned with the envelope and it looked exactly hoas before, just that the wax sealing it was gone
“Open the envelope and read the contents!”
From the tent, Consort Taizhen instructed with an ie Emperor and a seer that Consort Taizhen had to live in the red tent in Yuzhen Palace No one was allowed to approach the tent, and even the palaceclothes, food, and waiting on her
According to the words of that seer, this was the only way that Consort Taizhen would be able to survive this ordeal safely
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Xiao Zhu of the Clothes Incineration Section treht, she took out the letter within In an instant, all of the palace ly turned their gazes toward the letter
They had more or less heard bits and pieces of the verses of this poe to the co that they knew about the poem was that it was extremely beautiful
“Read it!”
Consort Taizhen ordered with a sliver of anger to her tone King Song had once sent a letter to criticize her, and she didn’t think that he was up to any good this ti to do by stirring such chaos in her Yuzhen Palace
“Yes!”
Xiao Zhu of the Clothes Incineration Section answered Then, taking a deep breath, her aura abruptly changed visibly to the senses of the others
Awith fear, but at this moment, as she held the ‘poeht shone on her pretty face, and warmth that penetrated deep into one’s soul could be seen in her eyes, as though she was looking at her lover
“Song of Purity and Peace!”
Xiao Zhu recited the naentle, and it possessed a quality that e of warmth into one’s soul
“This is a Yuefu poem”
(Lyrical poem)
Consort Taizhen was stunned She didn’t think that it was actually a poe of Purity and Peace”
A co the palaceof the name of the poem They had discussed the poem and spread it around themselves previously, but in deference to Consort Taizhen, they did it secretly As such, none of them actually knew the na the servants ere literate, and their comprehension in poetry wasn’t deep either Thus, they were unable to tell theof Purity and Peace; all they could tell was that it sounded indescribably refreshing and elegant
“Continue!”
Consort Taizhen was perplexed No matter how she looked like it, the name of the poem didn’t seem like an insult
“Clouds, one thinks of her clothes; flowers, one thinks of her countenance!”
Xiao Zhu’s voice becaht voice softly wafted across Yuzhen Palace As though possessing incredible ic, all of the maids suddenly fell silent
All of them stared in a daze at Xiao Zhu of the Clothes Incineration Section and the letter in her hands, as though they had lost their souls
“Clouds, one thinks of her clothes; flowers, one thinks of her countenance! So that’s it! …”
This was the first tiinal content of the poem
Within the red tent, Consort Taizhen was also stunned It wasn’t what ‘the cloud toward the rain’ or ‘the cloud reminiscent of the flowers’, but ‘Clouds, one thinks of her clothes; flowers, one thinks of her countenance’
In an instant, Consort Taizhen felt as though somewhere in the depths of her heart had melted
Her aptitude toward poetry was far beyond these palace ance and refine of… laziness!
So on a field of flowers beneath the night of a fullflowers, his mind was filled with reh no one kne that woman in his heart would look like, she had to be incredibly beautiful to have the elegance of the clouds and allurement of the flowers
Consort Taizhen was taken aback
Even though these palace maids had no talent in the field of poetry, there was one thing they were right about The verses of this poe all of the other verses she had heard in the past
“…the spring wind sweeps dew from her balustrade, splendid and dense”
Xiao Zhu recited the next line In this instant, the entire Yuzhen Palace fell conia stationed at the corners of the tent grew agitated upon hearing those words
Clouds, one thinks of her clothes; flowers, one thinks of her countenance; the spring wind sweeps dew from her balustrade, splendid and dense How beautiful…”
Dazed, the palace le word This was their first tiinal poeined
“If not seen at the peak of the Jade Mountain…”
The third line was recited, and the breathing in the tent hastened
“…then she will be encountered under the emstone terrace!”
When the final line was read out, the entire Yuzhen Palace fell silent
The spring breeze blows across the fence, granting me a peek at that lady’s beauty How can there be such a beautiful woman in the mortal world?
Have I accidentally stepped into the heavens? Otherwise, she ht?
…
The recitation of the poem caused a bizarre atmosphere to overwhelm the entire Yuzhen Palace Everyone fell in a trance due to the beauty of the poeinations, unable to speak a single word
Even the austere nannies had peculiar gentleness on their face This poeht them the memories of their youth
They were already full of wrinkles and silver hair, but who hasn’t been young before? And who hasn’t fallen for another before?
They were cold-hearted nannies in the eyes of others, austere and emotionless Even so, they were able to sense the beautiful artistic conception in the poem
Silence!
Absolute silence!
