The 47th Chapter: The Poem of Swallows, The Crown Princes Consort Wears

  The 47th chapter of Yan Shi Taizi Fei Zhe

  Episode 47: [Yan Shi] The Crown Prince's Wife Wears (zhù, the grass radical) The starting point of the system problem is that "zhù" was automatically changed to "wears", not a typo by the author.

  "Brother is indeed extraordinary in writing!" Li Chengqian praised.

  Li Tai had a triumphant look on his face.

  Not even a primary school student's level, what's there to be proud of. Li Chengqian wanted to return the poem to his mom, and as their eyes met, his mom's eyes shone brightly, as if she had some kind of telepathic ability, Li Chengqian heard his mom's eyes saying "step on him"!

  Well... okay!

  "Xiao Gu, come and take a look." Li Chengqian put away his poem, smiling at Su He who was full of resentment, "I saw a poem on the dressing table the other day, also praising mothers, you're more qualified to take a look!"

  "Me?" Su Hong was stunned.

  "Yes, your poem was done who-knows-when and casually left out, where I saw it!" Li Cheng said seriously.

  The queen spoke up, "Oh, what poem did Xiaogu write that made Chengqian so infatuated? Let's hear it!"

  Li Tai's face paused, recalling the rumors in the palace over the past two days that the Crown Prince's consort had composed a couplet, and a poem about early spring rain had been circulating. When he first heard it, he immediately applauded, and now his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the Crown Prince's consort.

  Yang Fei's charming eyes turned, looking towards Li Chengqian.

  Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Gu's poem is called 'Yan Shi'."

  He gazed deeply at Su He, his right hand waving gently, with a hint of the Buddha's palm. Su He tacitly closed her mouth. Then he recited in a rhythmic and sonorous tone:

  On the beam there is a pair of swallows, fluttering male and female. Between two eaves with mud in their beaks, one nest gives birth to three children.

  Three days and nights are long, the cry for food is urgent. The green worm is hard to catch, the yellow mouth has no time to be full.

  Although the bird's claws are tired, its spirit remains unwearied. In a moment it will fly back and forth ten times, yet still fear that there is hunger in the nest.

  Hardworking for forty-nine days, mother is thin and chicks are getting fat. Whispering teaching words, one by one brushing woolen clothes.

  Once the wings are formed, they lead to the branches of the courtyard trees. They raise their wings without looking back, and scatter in all directions with the wind.

  The male and female birds cry out in mid-air, their voices exhausted but still calling out without return. They enter the empty nest, chirping sorrowfully all night long.

  Swallow, swallow, don't be sad, you should think back. Think of when you were a young bird, flying high and leaving your mother behind.

  When parents think of it, today you should know.

  Li Chengqian recited Bai Juyi's "Yan Shi Shi Liu Su" from memory, and in his heart he thanked his mother from his past life. Not long before crossing over, he had just celebrated his mother's birthday with her, and when blowing out the candles, Li Chengqian had used this poem to bring tears to his mother's eyes. His mother, who had given birth to three sons, was 54 years old at the time. Li Chengqian had changed the "four sons" in Bai Juyi's poem to "three sons", and "thirty days of hard work" to "sixty-nine days". Now that he recited it again, he made another change, to "forty-nine days". The Empress was 49 years old this year!

  Several people in the bedroom suddenly became pensive, muttering to themselves. The queen's face flushed with happiness as she read "Yan Shi" from start to finish again.

  There are a pair of swallows on the beam... carrying mud between two eaves... Didn't she and Old Li go through the Xuanwu Gate incident together, wasn't it to create a safe nest for the children?

  She gave birth to three sons: Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi.

  Hardworking for forty-nine days, mother thin and child fat... She was just forty-nine years old, and because of childbirth, she lay in bed...

  With so many details, how could the queen believe Li Chengqian's small frame-up trick. Her eyes were filled with kindness and love, gazing deeply at Li Chengqian!

  "Crown Prince, what a great poem! Although it's about a swallow's mother, it's actually about human mothers. It first thinks of the kindness of one's own mother and then teaches people to be filial! What a great poem, I've never heard anything like it!" Yang Fei said excitedly, "Sister, you're so fortunate!"

  The queen smiled but didn't speak, however, the happiness on her face was visible to everyone!

  Li Chengqian was stunned, Yang Fei's words were quite strange, wasn't she told that it was written by the Crown Prince's consort?

  "His Majesty's sister is so talented!" Li Tai suddenly said loudly.

  After finishing, he bowed deeply to Su He and said, "In the past, there was the early spring rain, now there is Yan's poetry. Only then did I realize that the imperial sister-in-law has great talent. I am ashamed of showing off my skills in front of the imperial sister-in-law earlier!"

  Su He's small hands were clenched together, unsure of how to respond to Li Tai!

  Li Chengqian was overjoyed and finally found someone who believed his nonsense, even if he was a bit silly!

  Li Tai turned around, snatched the poem from Li Chengqian's hand, and then turned back to face Su He. With a swift motion of his two hands, the paper ripped apart with a rustling sound. He said sorrowfully: "My humble work is like a grain of rice compared to the brilliant poetry of Her Majesty the Empress. It's truly shameful to show it to people, so I'd better tear it up!"

  "No!" Su Hong blocked his way.

  Li Tai threw the torn paper to the ground, pressed his hands against his back and shouted: "No! In those years, Chen Shou wrote 'Records of the Three Kingdoms', Xiahou Xuan saw it and thought there was no need to write a new history, so he abandoned his own work 'Book of Wei' and became a beautiful story! Why can't I and my imperial sister-in-law do the same today?"

  "Cough..." Li Chengqian glared at Su Hong, "I haven't even had a cup of tea since I came in, hurry up and pour some!"

  Su He let out a gentle sigh, feeling relieved, and looked at the man with gratitude, her voice trembling as she replied: "Yes!"

  Li Tai was interrupted, his nose flaring with anger, and he turned to Li Chengqian, demanding: "Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law is a renowned poet, how can you have her do such menial tasks?"

  This remark made Li Chengqian's teeth ache. This brainless fatty who even got the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong, wrong, was directly ignored by Li Chengqian. He looked towards the somewhat unusual empress. (Note: To be continued at the end of this chapter.)

  The queen had just seen the poem Li Tai wrote for her and torn it up, her eyelids twitched once, then she saw him throw it on the ground, and twitched again. For a mother, no matter how good or bad the things her son gives her are, she will like them. Now he tore it up in front of her, how heartbreaking!

  Li Chengqian cursed another idiot, but it's not suitable to point out. He smiled and said to the little Chen beside him: "Little Chen, did you take note of that?"

  Xiao Chen lifted her pretty face and smiled sweetly: "Crown Prince, remember this!"

  Li Cheng took it over and saw that the swallow poem was written in its entirety on the paper, and Xiao Chen had already added punctuation marks, making the swallow poem look very neat.

  "What are you doing?" Li Chengqian shouted lightly.

  Xiao Chen's face turned red.

  "My mom likes the Virgin more, how can you not draw it?"

  Xiao Chen was stunned, Yang Fei looked at Li Chengqian, and the Empress smiled.

  "Hurry up and write!"

  "Ah...... okay." Little Chen replied.

  Li Tai's face turned dark and he said with a wave of his hand: "No..."

  "Mind your own business!" Li Chengqian glared.

  "This is an insult to our literary style..."

  What a guy who can't communicate! Li Chengqian ignored him, waited for a while, took over the paper written by Xiao Chen, and handed it to the empress with a smile.

  Li Tai was ignored once again, and just as he was about to make a scene, he suddenly calmed down and said: "Imperial brother, earlier the imperial sister composed such a wonderful poem. You can't bring shame to the imperial sister's name, why don't you compose one too?"

  This fatty is really annoying, Li Chengqian looked at him with disgust, it's really strange, even if my wife can write poetry, how did I end up losing face because of her, what kind of logic is this?

  "I won't write poetry, but if mom and brother like it, I'll just scribble two lines!" Li Chengqian cleared his throat and recited with deep feeling: "Mother! When the wind and rain come from the sky, the birds hide in their nests. When the storms of the heart come, I can only hide in your arms!"

  All right, thank you Ice Heart Grandma, thank you "Dense Stars"!

  ===========================

  Note: The author Wu didn't write that part wrong, it completely matches the plot. Then who is the author of Three Kingdoms? Those book friends who know can smile and pass by with a sense of superiority, those who don't understand please Baidu.
