## Hero Lore

The budding flower buds will bloom in an instant, blooming into a coquettish peony. The little girl stretched out her fingertips curiously, but the moment she touched it, the petals withered, turning into a black mist that wrapped around the girl and dragged her to the endless abyss. The girl screamed, kicked and kicked hard, until...

- awoke suddenly from her dream. The girl's heart was still beating fast. Another horrible nightmare. From the age of three, this recurring dream had tormented her cruelly. But the girl always has a hunch: there is a secret hidden in the dream, and this secret is closely related to a part of her memory. But she couldn't remember anything.

The Royal Huan Huan Library not only collects precious books from all over the world, but also stores scrolls of calligraphy and painting by many famous artists. Those who manage the library are the female maids who were sent to the Tuck Court because of their crimes. A girl named Wan'er is one of them.

Her grandfather was originally a courtier of the previous emperor and was assigned to the abolished prince as Taifu. But what I didn't expect was that Lao Lai was involved in the rebellion of the abolished prince, affecting his family. The men were sent into the army, and the women entered the court as slaves. The girl was only four years old when she entered the palace. But many years later, relatives have left one after another, and only the lonely girl is slowly growing up. She practiced calligraphy every day, even though she was doing heavy work in the library. This is the only memorial passed down to her by her grandfather, a famous calligrapher.

When the Queen's birthday came, someone recommended a peerless great painter to paint the true face of the Queen. Because of the busy affairs of the Holy Queen, the painter was ordered to live in the library in the palace to facilitate drawing. So the master painter spends half of his time sketching with his car, and spends half of his time burying his head in the library and painting. The female officer of the library assigned Wan'er, who was ingenious, to assist the painter.

The master painter is a knowledgeable, humorous and interesting person who has traveled through many mountains and rivers. Not only does he draw lifelike portraits, but any scenery he has seen and interesting things he encounters on the road can be easily outlined in two strokes. Ling Wan'er was very envious: she had not been out of the palace since she was four years old. From the artist's pen, it is interesting to see the outside world.

"If you haven't seen the world, the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the human world, the things you describe in your pen are only superficial. The same is true for painting, and the same is true for writing. That's right, it's your words."

Facing the evaluation of the master painter, Wan'er was quite dissatisfied. But the master painter was immersed in his own art world, and he still kept chattering: "You must learn Shangguan style. In the past, the calligraphy of Lord Shangguan can also be called a masterpiece. The master is said to have a honest temperament, so his words are also round and full, and he has a style. Prosperous weather. You have learned it, but you don't like it. Look, here is hesitant and sloppy. Even if I am a painter, I can see that I am serious on the outside and I am missing something. Wow, don't...don't cry. It's not normal for a little girl to have less knowledge... No, that's not what I meant..."

Wan'er stood up abruptly, causing the master painter to take two steps back, but she bowed respectfully: " Many thanks to the master for his guidance. Wan'er has one thing in her heart, and every time she writes, she hesitates."

She told the master painter about her nightmare.

The great painter thought for a while and said, "In this dream, when the peony appeared, what were you doing?"

Wan'er was puzzled.

The great painter said: "Think about it every day, and dream about it at night. The library doesn't plant peonies, but you often dream about it. Then, maybe you often want to do one thing, and only when you dream about it will peonies appear."

Wan'er said, "I'm posting a post."

"What post?"

Wan'er shook her head in distress. She always writes on a piece of paper over and over again, but it seems that she will never finish it, and she will start again in the next dream. Dream at night, think at day. Now even if I write on a post during the day, I still think about it, so I hesitate to write.

"I also want to know what post I am in my dream. Maybe I can find that post and I can solve this nightmare. But over the years, I have visited all the famous books in the library, and all the posts of my grandfather, but I still can't get the answer. The

master painter thought for a long time and said, "I am a painter, and I can draw all kinds of landscapes and portraits. These are all from what I have seen and thought. It can also be said that what I paint is my own 'memory'. Calligraphy and painting There is always something in common. Although I can't guess what this nightmare means, you must carry it forward. One day, you will complete this booklet.

" He left the palace. Ke Wan'er kept thinking about the great painter's advice, if she didn't even have the bookstore for her book, where would it be?

"If you haven't seen Daqian World, you haven't seen the joys and sorrows of the world..." If you don't even have it in the palace, then it must be hidden in the Daqian world.

Soon, the Queen received a sincere letter from the servants of Ye Ting: "I would like to be His Majesty's eyes and ears, to see and listen... Between the market and the long pavilion... There should be some Queen who wants to see but doesn't. The scenery to see, and I will write it all..." This letter touched the Holy Queen. After a secret summons, Shangguan Wan'er got her wish. As the eyes and ears of the Holy Queen, she can enter and exit the palace and Chang'an City in the guise of a man, looking for the posters she is about to write.

In the spring of this year, it is the season of peony blooming in Chang'an City. The dancers from Jiaofang carefully prepared dances and performed on the banks of the Qujiang River. This event attracted almost all the attention of Chang'an City. The talented Wan'er was instructed to review the peony poems presented by the talents. Only those who wrote the most outstanding poems were received by the Queen.

On this day, she climbed upstairs and saw the terrifying figure standing in the sea of ​​peony flowers in full bloom. In the dream, a coquettish peony bloomed from that hand, to take her life and the lives of her relatives.

But unlike the crying girl in the nightmare, Wan'er tightened the pen in her hand.

"Grandfather, in front of that person, I'm just a weak girl. But a weak girl will not be weak forever. She will grow into a strong woman through calligraphy and brushwork."

After a few days, the new official of Dali Temple took office. On the previous day, Mr. Di Renjie, Mr. Di, received an appeal for an unjust case. The appellant was Shangguan Wan'er after the sinner.

The girl finally completed the piece of paper she wrote repeatedly in her dream. Since then, she will never have the same nightmare again. This is not a calligraphy post, but the memory of her being taken away, a complaint she should have written to avenge her grandfather!

"The emperor was angry with my grandfather and failed to stop the prince's unfilial piety. The prince cursed my grandfather, believing that it was his old man's whistleblower that made the matter fail. The grandfather was convicted and unjustly executed in prison."

"But that was not the case. I am the witness of this conspiracy."
