Xue Lingyun related stories

Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Cao, is a man of great calculation and talent. After Cao Cao's death, he put aside the Han Emperor, acceded to the throne as Wei Wendi, changed to Huang Chu and moved the capital to Luoyang. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, in order to consolidate the political power, he carried out a series of reforms: building palaces, selecting talents, reducing taxes, advocating literature, prohibiting eunuchs from taking charge of government affairs, and prohibiting consorts from serving as assistant ministers. , make the atmosphere inside and outside the court as one of the new, wei is thriving.

Speaking of Xue Lingyun, she is a rural girl in Hebei. Her father Ye Xue is a curator. Although her official position is not high, she is quite prestigious in the local area because of her kindness. Her mother is an ingenious woman, and her textiles and embroidery are unique in the local area.

Zanxiang is a remote and backward place with simple folk customs and poor writing style. Local people seldom read and write, and Tingchangjia is no exception. Silk reeling is popular in the local area, so silk weaving and embroidery are very developed. Influenced by his mother, Xue Lingyun learned embroidery at an early age. When she was ten years old, she embroidered peony flowers, which attracted swarms of butterflies flying up and down around the flowers. It was really confusing. The mountains and rivers in the hinterland have nurtured Xue Lingyun. She is tall, fair-skinned, and her eyes are as clear and bright as mountain springs.

In the evening, Xue Lingyun and his mother often sit by the dim Artemisia fire and spin and embroider by the light of the fire. Because of her popularity in the suburbs, almost every day curious teenagers peep at Xue Lingyun, who is busy under the fire. Because of her attractive beauty and diligent and cheerful expression at work, those peeping teenagers often have to gawk at the Xue family to turn off the lights before they reluctantly leave. However, due to the reputation of Xue family and Xue Lingyun's totally, these teenagers only dare to admire secretly outside, and no one dares to have restless thoughts.

In this way, Xue Lingyun's reputation spread from mouth to mouth. Finally, even people in Luoyang, the capital of Wei, knew that there was a beautiful woman in Changshan, and they spread the news to Zeng Pier in Wei Wendi. However, although Xelloss proclaimed himself at that time, the whole of China was not under his control. Wei mainly occupied the northern region, with Liu Bei in Xishu and Sun Quan in Soochow. Changshan County, Xue Lingyun's hometown, is Sun Quan's sphere of influence. Xelloss wanted something, but he couldn't get it.

Just when Xelloss was upset, it happened that Sun Quan of Jiangdong sent an ambassador from China to Wei at the end of August of two years. Xelloss is very happy, on the one hand, happy for his regime, on the other hand, happy for him to get Xue Lingyun's territory in Wu. Therefore, Cao Pi sent envoys to Wu, worshipped Sun Quan as a general, sealed the king of Wu, and gave him "Nine Tin". It can be seen that his inner excitement is irresistible.

Since Wei Wendi values it so much, Sun Quan really appreciates it. In addition to sending a large number of tributes to Luoyang, he also got wind that Xelloss yearned for a beautiful woman named Xue in Changshan County, so he quickly ordered Changshan County Chief to make efforts to promote this.

After Gu Xi took office, he personally visited Ye Xue, director of Zanxiang Pavilion, as a county magistrate. Ye Xue was flattered, but he hesitated when he heard that he would send his daughter Xue Lingyun to Luoyang to be the princess of Wei Wendi. He thought: it is difficult for a rural layman to serve the emperor well when he comes to the palace. In that case, the daughter will be left out in the cold and the whole family will be affected. When he thought so, he declined politely. Gu Xi put down his identity and tried every means to persuade him, and finally got the approval of Ye Xue. So I left my daughter's dowry, ready to choose an auspicious day to catch my trip and send Xue Lingyun to Luoyang, the capital of Wei.

Xue Lingyun, who grew up in a lonely hometown, has never left his hometown or his parents' wings. Now I am about to leave my hometown and enter the palace compound. I don't know what fate awaits me yet, so I feel scared and helpless. I cried every day a few days before I left. When she got on the bus, her tears were more like the spring water that opened the brakes and rushed over. Attendants handed her a five-mouthed kettle to collect tears, only to see tears flowing into the kettle with blood red; When I arrived in Los Angeles, the jade spittoon was full of blood and tears.

Wei Wendi Cao Pi seems to be very interested in this beautiful Jiangnan woman. When he heard the news that Xue Lingyun was leaving, he quickly prepared ten "cars" and sent a large number of military and horses to escort him. Until the north bank of the Yangtze River ushered in a farewell party.

The prepared "safety car" is a gorgeous and comfortable means of transportation invented by Cao Pi. The hood is covered with all kinds of gold and jade jewelry, the wheel yoke is painted with beautiful pink patterns, and the front car is decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns. The whole car looks like a grand little palace. There are hundreds of bells around the car body. When the car moves forward, it tinkles and makes people feel refreshed. The cattle were driven by a green-haired, parallel-hoofed cow, which was once paid tribute by the Tu State. It walks as fast as a horse and as steady as a donkey. The army of the wedding reception received Xue Lingyun and his party by the Yangtze River, and Xue Lingyun changed a "Che 'an" to continue northward. Along the way, Wei Wendi ordered people from all over the country to burn herbs on the roadside, and the fragrance was lingering along the way, which was said to avoid epidemics.

The reason why Xelloss wanted to make the wedding so extravagant was to admire Xue Lingyun for a long time, on the other hand, to publicize the strength of Wei, and more importantly, to show respect for a rural woman of Wu, so as to influence the subjects and make them completely convinced of Wei.

Cao Pi also ordered people to build a platform dozens of miles outside Luoyang, 30 feet high and towering into the sky. There are candles all around the stage, which are called "candlesticks" to be used when Xue Lingyun arrives. When Xue Lingyun arrived outside Luoyang, it was dusk. Because the road from the suburbs to the urban area is full of thick red candles, and the candlelight flashes, and the surroundings are as bright as day. Growing up in a secluded hometown, Xue Lingyun, accustomed to the darkness, was shocked and wondered if he had hooked up with Wang Muyao.

Wei Wendi waited for her in the candlestick of the jade carving emperor. In the distance, when she saw the horses and chariots rolling and the dust flying like mist, she sighed, "There were clouds in the past, clouds in the morning and rain at dusk. It doesn't rain in Feiyun now, nor is it dusk! " So they called Xue Lingyun "Night Come". When I met Lingyun, she was shy and eager, simple and elegant, like a lotus flower far away from the hubbub, full of purity in beauty, which made Cao Pi extremely happy. She hurried forward to hold her delicate hand and went to the palace with her.

When foreign countries heard that Wei Wendi had married a beautiful princess, they sent a special person to ride a dragon to celebrate. This dragon hairpin is a rare treasure. It looks like an ordinary dragon, phoenix and golden hairpin during the day, but it shines with golden light at night, dazzling. Xelloss took the dragon hairpin, ready to send it to Xue Lingyun in a bun, but hesitated. He thinks this hairpin is too heavy, and I'm afraid there is a tired beauty on Xue Lingyun's slender head. He suddenly felt sorry for jade, and blurted out, "pearls are not as good as jade, and feelings are as heavy as dragons and bears." How can you bear it? " I ordered someone to put away the fire dragon Luan hairpin for Xue Lingyun, just for viewing, and there is no need to wear it on his head. Xelloss's love for Xue Lingyun can be seen from this little incident.

Xue Lingyun is an uncut jade, living in the palace with her simple, natural and kind style. She doesn't know the red tape of the court, nor does she know the struggle in the court. She only regards Cao Pi as a husband who is closely related to herself, and serves her husband with tenderness, truthfulness, euphemism and meticulous feelings that she can understand. The arrival of Xue Lingyun, like a fresh wind in Yuan Yezhong, blew into Cao Pi's heart after vicissitudes of life, allowing him to enjoy the sincere and interdependent feelings of husband and wife that ordinary emperors could not appreciate. The love between husband and wife is easy to produce between ordinary people, who often don't feel particularly precious; However, due to the influence of power, wealth, children and other factors, it is difficult for emperors and queens who are supreme and prosperous in the world to have pure marital feelings. And Wei Wendi's xelloss is partial to this innocence, so Xue Lingyun is so rare for him that he really has an emotional home. Because of his true love for Xue Lingyun, he was very tolerant of the differences between Xue Lingyun's living habits and court etiquette. For example, Xue Lingyun used to sew embroidery in dim light in his hometown to save light; After arriving at the palace, the palace was brightly lit. She thought it was a great waste, so she also asked to let it all out, leaving only one candle to sew and embroider according to her appearance. Xelloss also agreed to her request, often sitting by, silently looking at the busy Xue Lingyun under the faint candlelight, and sometimes even hallucinating that he and his wife are a rural couple living a farming and weaving life.

Xue Lingyun is ingenious, and her hand-sewn clothes are novel, beautiful and exquisite. Since entering the palace, Cao Pi has cut and sewn all the clothes by herself, and the ladies-in-waiting have also learned sewing and embroidery skills from her. People call her "the goddess of needles". Once, Cao Pi accidentally hung his clothes in the back garden. He took off his clothes, threw them aside and put on new clothes. As an emperor, he is used to not wearing old clothes. Xue Lingyun saw it and didn't say anything, just silently picked up the garment eye, carefully mended the breach with a fine needle, and skillfully embroidered some patterns at the mended place, so that the breach was completely out of sight. She hung up her clothes and didn't let xelloss change them. A few days later, Cao Pi found his lost clothes hanging on the bedside again, so he took them over. When he saw that his chastity had been restored to perfection, his heart was hot, and he knew that Xue Lingyun had done it, so he quickly changed his clothes into an upper body. From then on, he took more care of Xue Lingyun's clothes.

In order to comfort Xue Lingyun's homesickness, Wei Wendi ordered the building of Jiuhua Terrace in the harem, so that his wife could get on the stage and overlook Nanyaosi's hometown. Dig a Liuxiang pond, which is full of lotus flowers and fields full of lotus leaves, and the flowers are overflowing. Cao Pi and Xue Lingyun were boating in the pool, as if Xue Lingyun had returned to his hometown.

But it didn't last long. In the summer of the seventh year of Huang Chu, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, died of illness in Jiafu at the age of forty. Before he died, he ordered Shu Yuan from the harem to leave the palace and go home. After his death, Xue Lingyun also returned to his hometown of Changshan County and was never heard from again.
