The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 582: Mid-Autumn Festival Chapter Talks about Allusions and God Chapter Stories

The Queen Mother looked at her descendants below with love. She was graceful and elegant, and was one of the ancestors of the royal family.

She looked at Prince Su and Princess Su, who were of the same generation as her. They were both sixty-three years old, and time had left traces on their faces.

"Prince Su and Princess, come and have a drink with me."

Upon hearing this, the old couple lowered their heads, filled their glasses, raised them high, and clinked glasses with the Queen Mother in the palace.

"Queen, we salute you."

The three of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone watched in silence. This was the first time in all these years that the Empress Dowager took the initiative to drink with Prince Su and his wife. Even Emperor Shun of Yuan and the Empress were a little shocked.

In the center of the stage is the wonderful performance of the dancers, their graceful and elegant bodies swaying with their dance moves.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watched the wonderful dance, he recalled the dances his sister had danced before.

Back in Princess Meng's mansion, in the large dining hall, everyone was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together and playing games, it was quite lively.

"Let's play with allusions and myths. Choose one of the two."

As soon as Shen Jiarou finished speaking, the Thirteenth Prince spoke immediately.

"Fourth sister, I will go first."

"Okay, come on."

"Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, the story takes place in the Spring and Autumn Period. It tells the legendary story of King Gou Jian of Yue who, after being defeated by the State of Wu, endured humiliation, slept on firewood, tasted gall every day to remind himself not to forget the hatred of the country and family, and finally successfully restored his country."

Shen Jiarou clapped and said, "Not bad, who's next?"

Zheng Yu said: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is a myth. It is said that the Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven. Because she secretly married the Cowherd, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and ordered them to separate. They can only meet once a year on the seventh night of the seventh month of the lunar calendar."

The three princes found it interesting, but since they didn't know how to play the game, they could only watch and listen quietly.

The next person who spoke didn't wait for Shen Jiarou to speak and started talking.

"Does it count as being able to make fishes sink, geese fall, the moon hide and flowers blush? Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Yang Yuhuan? These four beauties represent the four beautiful names of being able to make fishes sink, geese fall, the moon hide and flowers blush."

Everyone looked at Zhou Qin and finally nodded, and Doctor Wang spoke.

"Sir Zhou, this should be counted. I will take the next one." He thought for a while and said, "Zhaojun went to the frontier, which refers to Zhaojun's marriage to the Huns." This allusion of his is still very famous. Anyone who has read many books will naturally know it.

Shen Jiarou continued, "One enters three gates but never enters, just like when Dayu was controlling the floods, he never entered his home."

Feng Jingyun waved his folding fan and said, "Besiege Wei to save Zhao. During the Warring States Period, the Qi army used the method of besieging Wei to force Wei's siege troops to besiege Zhao and save Zhao."

Zarmu thought for a long time but couldn't find any allusions or myths, so he could only watch helplessly.

Zhang Zirou continued, "Carrying a thorn stick to ask for forgiveness is a historical allusion from the "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", which tells the story between Lian Po, a great general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and Lin Xiangru, a senior minister."

Zheng Shutong was also thinking about the idioms and allusions she had learned, and she actually found them.

"Paper talk" is an idiom that comes from a historical story. The idiom was first seen in "Records of the Grand Historian - Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru".

Talking about military affairs on paper originally refers to Zhao Kuo's reading of military books but his inability to put them into practice. Later, it became a metaphor for empty talk about theory but not being able to solve practical problems, or empty talk that cannot become reality.

The third prince, Musinian, was stunned when he heard this: "You are too amazing. You know so much. I have never heard of this."

The second prince Jesta said: "I still know the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

The third prince, Musinian, said with disdain: "That's all you know."

The second prince Zesta angrily retorted: "It's better than you knowing nothing at all."

"You... humph." The third prince Musnian was furious.

The Second Prince's wife couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pull her husband's arm.

Shen Jiarou quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Everyone continue."

Jiang Ruofan spoke quickly: "The protagonist of the idiom of "honey on the lips but a sharp knife in the heart" is Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. This idiom comes from Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian: The First Year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao Period" in the Song Dynasty. It describes Li Linfu, who speaks sweet words to people on the surface, but harbors conspiracy in his heart and is insidious and cunning. "

Zhang Zirou said: "I think everyone knows about Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall."

Everyone nodded.

Meng Jiangnu's crying at the Great Wall is one of the four major love folk legends in my country. It is widely circulated in my country, especially in the north and south of the country, where there are legends about where the story took place.

In fact, after scientific demonstration by many experts, it was concluded that in this legend, Meng Jiangnu was crying at the Great Wall of Qi rather than the Great Wall of Qin. In other words, Meng Jiangnu was crying in the area around the ruins of the Great Wall of Qi in the present-day Shandong Province.

This is nearly 200 years earlier than the construction of the Qin Great Wall. When our great leader Mao Zedong visited Shandong, he told the then Jinan Military Region Commander Xu Shiyou about this. He said that the legend of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall actually happened in Shandong, 40 kilometers south of Jinan. The place Mao Zedong mentioned is Changcheng Village, Wande Town, Changqing District, Jinan City. This place has been the only way from Beijing to the south since ancient times. It still retains historical relics such as the Nine Provinces Imperial Road. Of course, there are also a large number of remaining stone tablets that record the legend of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall. (follow-up)

Therefore, myths and legends are still different from the facts. Some myths and legends are just for listening and should never be taken seriously.

In addition to this game, everyone played some more games later. After the Mid-Autumn family dinner was over, the three princes and their two princesses were taken to the guest house to sleep.

When Shen Jiarou woke up the next day, it was already noon. Because yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people were awake at about this time, such as the three princes, the thirteenth prince, Su Wenmao and others.

Nanny Gui and Zhen Luosang woke up quite early. Seeing that the princess and her husband in the main house showed no signs of waking up, the two of them sat quietly in the courtyard and chatted in low voices.

"Madam Gui, do you miss the Queen Mother and her family?"

Nanny Gui said, "Of course I did. After all, I have been with the Queen Mother for more than 40 years."

There are not many people who can accompany their master for more than 40 years. Her current stable position and respect are all due to her loyalty to the master.

Zhen Luosang was shocked when he heard this: "More than 40 years?"

Oh my God, this is longer than her life. So many years have passed, and she has lived for more than 20 years, but it is not as long as the time that others have spent with the Empress Dowager.

Shen Jiarou had very sensitive ears. She heard voices in the courtyard while she was asleep. She woke up slowly and found that it was daylight again, and it was still very dazzling. She quickly lowered her head, trying to make her eyes feel more comfortable.

Perhaps her movements startled Jiang Ruofan, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Princess, you're awake."

The two people outside the door heard it and hurried over to the door, and Zhen Luosang was the first to ask.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Shen Jiarou raised her head and said to the door, "You're awake. Go get some water for washing."

Zhen Luosang responded, "Yes, Princess."

Today's breakfast is very light, and the nutritious eight-treasure porridge looks very appetizing.

In the room, Shen Jiarou ate two bowls of rice, a white flour bun and a corn flour bun. She touched her bloated belly and laughed.

"Full-fed ghost."

Nami joked, "It's better to die of fullness than of hunger."

Everyone was shocked that she could be so funny and make jokes.
