This is what Rong Fei said to Concubine Xian when they were in Nuanfeng Pavilion a few days ago. No one else was present at that time, so it stands to reason that only Concubine Xian should know. Perhaps Concubine Xian would have mentioned it to the emperor and empress, and very few people knew about it, so the news should not have spread outside the palace so quickly.
Seeing Rong Fei's expression was different, Yun Xiang explained with a smile.
"I have a good friend who is related to the royal family. I heard this from him yesterday. It is said that the Holy Master copied the words of your Excellency and passed them on to all the royal relatives as an encouragement and warning. In addition, about your Excellency, I also learned the news about the Dunzhou people from this friend..z.br>
This was the first time since the great disaster that year that I had the good fortune to meet a fellow from Dunzhou. I couldn't help myself, so I invited you shamelessly. I hope it's not strange. "
So that's it. Rong Fei nodded after hearing this.
Then Yunxiang continued.
"When I first heard that God would confer a great responsibility on this person, the little girl was infected by the adult's character and ambition. She always wanted to find an opportunity to ask the adult for advice in person, but she never expected that she would get her wish so quickly. But I She is just a little girl with no ambitions, but she prefers the verses that the adults just recited compared to these enlightening words."
Yun Xiang held the piece of paper with the words "A pair of jade arms as a pillow for thousands of people, a bit of red lips as a pillow for thousands of people" in her hand and said with unabashed admiration.
Rong Fei was a little embarrassed. He added the following sentence to this poem: "Pretending to be a charming figure and pretending to be a fake heart." It was an extremely satirical look at the promiscuous women's ability to act on the spot and pretend to be false. He didn't think too much about it at the time. He recited it smoothly.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain that he had no prejudice against Fengchennv, he heard Yunxiang talking to herself.
"When ordinary people see this poem, they will inevitably think that you are trying to be sarcastic. But since you are able to stand up and clear Chunxiang's grievances when she is suffering, it is enough to prove that you have no prejudice against prostitutes like us. Therefore, if you read this poem through what the adults did, you can understand its profound meaning.
Your Excellency is obviously full of sympathy and pity for prostitutes like us. Everyone in the world thinks that we are contemptible, but they have never thought that if they are not forced to do so, who would be so willing to degenerate and humiliate the family.
But these are just the little girl's random guesses, and I hope the adults won't laugh at them. "
Yun Xiang handed a cup of fragrant tea soup to Rong Fei with both hands.
What could Rong Fei do? He could only respond with an awkward but polite smile, and at the same time secretly praised Yun Xiang as a courtesan who was indeed considerate... No, he was considerate.
"But this young lady has a heartless request, and I hope you can accept it."
"Well... Miss Yunxiang, let's talk first."
Rong Fei was not a fool, how could he be manipulated so casually?
"This poem is only half of a poem. Can you please complete it?"
"this…"
Rong Fei was even more embarrassed.
Completion?
Are you pretending to have a charming body and a fake heart?
It would be strange if Yunxiang didn't blast her out on the spot.
You can walk out, run out, fly out, or even fight out, but you can't be blasted out. Being the best catcher in the world also requires face.
Are you saying that you only made half of the song?
This seems to be the only way. After all, poetry depends on inspiration.
Although, this can only be regarded as a limerick.
While thinking, Rong Fei suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and remembered a post he had seen in his previous life.
There was once a Dawei named Kaixiang Yijiangqiu who changed the second half of this limerick so that it could be used to deal with the situation at hand.
"It's okay to complete the poem, but Mr. Rong also has a merciless request and needs to trouble Miss Yunxiang."
"Why do you say this as if you are doing business? As long as you speak, Yunxiang will definitely obey your orders. It has nothing to do with whether you complete the poem or not."
Yun Xiang smiled happily and put the paper with half of the doggerel written on it in front of Rong Fei, and at the same time presented the ground ink and fine wolf hair.
Yunxiang said this,
On the contrary, it seems that Rong Fei is a petty person.
Looking at the beautiful and dignified handwriting on the paper in front of him, Rong Fei smiled slightly and turned the paper around and pushed it back.
"Rong's handwriting is ugly, so I won't use it to make people laugh. It's better for you to write it."
"Then, the little girl is more respectful than to obey your orders and write on behalf of your lord."
With a sweet laugh, Yunxiang picked up the wolf brush and dipped it in ink. She turned her head slightly and looked at Rong Fei, waiting for him to recite the poem.
"A pair of jade arms are used as pillows for thousands of people, and a bit of red lips are tasted by thousands of guests. The dream frightened me in the middle of the night, when the cold wind and rain filtered through the west window."
Jiang Qiu Dawei is sorry, I had no choice but to borrow it, don’t blame me!
After reciting the entire poem, Rong Fei secretly confessed in his heart.
"The dream was frightening in the middle of the night. After three o'clock, the cold wind and rain penetrated through the west window."
Of course, limericks are not about literary grace, artistic conception, thoughts, etc., but they are easy to understand and can easily arouse empathy.
At this time, the tip of the Langhao pen was hovering above the paper, never falling. Yunxiang's eyes were blurred, and she was muttering in her mouth. Her expression changed from joy to sadness, from anger to resentment.
Rong Fei could tell at a glance that Miss Yunxiang was having sex... No, she was empathizing.
Why have my thoughts always wandered unconsciously since I entered the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building? I need to pay more attention now.
Rong Fei reviewed himself in his heart.
After a long while, Yunxiang woke up from her trance, raised her hand to wipe away the tears that accidentally overflowed from the corner of her eyes, smiled awkwardly at Rong Fei, and then controlled the jade tube wolf with her slender hands in one stroke. , to complete the entire limerick.
"Sir, could you please leave an inscription and a seal?"
Rong Fei was not a so-called scholar. He had never had such a thing as a private seal, but he couldn't refuse it anymore, so he had no choice but to take the jade tube wolf hair handed over by Yun Xiang and write his name crookedly on the paper.
"Thank you for your poems and words. I have nothing to repay you, but I would like to dance a song to express my gratitude."
Yun Xiang happily held the paper with the doggerel written on it in her hands and suggested to Rong Fei.
"No need to dance. Miss Yunxiang only needs to answer a few questions from me."
"Excuse me, my lord."
"Miss Yunxiang..."
"Sir, just call me Yunxiang."
"Hmm...Okay. Yunxiang, do you still remember if there was anything unusual before the disaster?"
"Something strange?"
Yun Xiang's expression changed when she heard this, and the scenes that she thought she had forgotten deep in her memory were reawakened.
"I remember that day I accidentally broke my knee because of my naughtiness, and the pain made me cry all the time. I didn't fall asleep until the end of the day, and my mother and father were with me on the bed.
After finally waiting for the pain to subside, I was about to fall asleep when my mother suddenly screamed and woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw red lights everywhere in the house, as if it was on fire. My mother and father looked out the window with horrified faces.
I felt so scared at the time that I forgot about the pain in my knees, jumped out of bed, threw myself into my mother's arms, and then looked out the window curiously.
I saw a fiery red, very big meteor, dragging a long tail, diagonally cutting through the night sky and falling into the distance.
Not long after, there was a roar like thunder, and the place where the meteor fell also burst into flames.
I heard my father whispering something, "Yinghuo appears in this world, and the world is in chaos. When the disaster star falls, there will be great disaster."
Immediately, the parents called the family together, and after discussing it, they packed their bags and belongings overnight and prepared to take refuge in the nearby Bozhou. But who would have thought it was too late? After a while, strong winds began to blow outside, and the entire night sky seemed to be torn apart and filled with dense lightning. The ground kept shaking, and all the houses in the family collapsed. Unfortunately, my grandfather, grandmother, and second uncle's family were all crushed to death by the collapsed houses.
Not long after, large cracks began to appear on the ground, and flames poured out of the cracks like water, burning everything they passed through, including houses, trees, living people and livestock, to ashes.
Finally all
Only my parents and I managed to escape, while the rest of the family died tragically, with no bones left.
The terrifying vision lasted until dawn and then gradually subsided, but there was no familiar scene at all. There were flames, flying ashes, scorched corpses and wailing people everywhere, making it seem like a hell on earth.
My parents took me among the people fleeing all the way to Bozhou. Every day, every hour, every moment, someone would fall down without warning, and then never stand up again. The people next to me also turned a blind eye. Moving slowly and lifelessly.
After finally reaching Bozhou, the city gate was tightly closed. The defenders on the city wall bent their bows and set arrows to prevent the fleeing people from approaching the city wall. At that time, the people who were fleeing were already crazy with hunger, and they didn’t care much. They kept rushing towards the city gate, and then there was a rain of arrows from the sky..."
I don't know since when, tears have filled Yun Xiang's cheeks, dripping down her delicate chin and onto her chest, soaking the clothes made of light gauze, revealing the aqua bellyband underneath.
Rong Fei quickly looked away, pondering what to say to persuade, but found that he couldn't say anything.
He didn't know what happened before the disaster, but he had personally experienced the miserable scene in Dunzhou after the disaster. At this time, after hearing what Yun Xiang said, Rong Fei seemed to have turned back into the thin boy he was ten years ago, following the elusive path of survival with the fleeing crowd.
A mountain of corpses piled up with countless corpses, starving people eating people, Ji Rouer's palms chewed to pieces by wild dogs, a line of hungry people whose beginning and end can't be seen at a glance...
For those who were lucky enough to survive that hell, any comfort and persuasion would be insignificant.
This kind of injury is incurable and incurable, and it is a nightmare that will last a lifetime.
Yunxiang sobbed, Rongfei sighed, and both of them lost interest in talking for a while.
After a long time, Yunxiang's emotions calmed down, and she smiled at Rongfei and asked.
"Why do you ask about this, sir?"
Rong Fei once checked the Di newspaper preserved in Fencheng County and found that there was no record of the Dunzhou disaster that occurred ten years ago in the Di newspaper. Although it was spread by word of mouth among some people at that time, as time went by, it had long been forgotten.
It seemed as if there was a pair of invisible hands deliberately trying to erase the Dunzhou disaster from the world.
For this reason, Yu Qingzhi even solemnly warned Rong Fei.
It can be seen that behind the Dunzhou disaster, there must be a huge secret hidden.
So when Yunxiang asked about it, Rongfei couldn't help but hesitate.
Hesitant to involve her.
"My lord, do you suspect that the disaster in Dunzhou was not caused by a disaster star, but was caused by something else?"
When Rong Fei was still hesitating, Yun Xiang suddenly asked.
