At this time, the heavy snow has just stopped, and the scenery of rockeries, pavilions, bridges and promenades are all dressed in white plain clothes; Although all kinds of flowers and trees have withered branches and leaves, they look particularly beautiful after being dressed up by snow, just like silver branches and jade flowers; Occasionally, two birds fly in, gently brushing the dust off the branches and scattering clouds of white catkins, just like flying butterflies.
Wu Zetian was fascinated, but she didn't expect the snow scene to be so magnificent. Suddenly, she found a little flame burning and jumping in the white snow. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a red berry in full bloom. Wu Zetian is so happy! Can't help singing a poem to express her joy. Ji Jian, who accompanied the flower viewing, saw the Queen Mother so happy that they all rushed to propose a toast to her.
At this time, a concubine said, "Wuhou, plum blossoms are no matter how good they are, they are all one person after all." Wouldn't it be more desirable if you could make a law to make this garden blossom?
Another concubine shook her head and said, "It's a cold winter, and plum blossoms are just in time. Let a hundred flowers blossom, we will wait until next spring. "
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "It's not surprising that spring blossoms." A hundred flowers compete for snow, which will be to my liking. "
Seeing that she was a little drunk, the concubines advised, "Wuhou, it's getting late, so hurry back to the palace and have a rest." If you still want to see it, come back tomorrow morning. "
Wu Zetian returned to the palace with the help of maids. But she was still drunk and wanted to let a hundred flowers blossom for snow. Then, the maid-in-waiting brought Four Treasures of the Study, immediately holding the cream and dipping it in thick ink, and wrote a five-character poem on the white silk: Visiting the Garden in the Ming Dynasty, reporting the spring knowledge quickly. Flowers must be placed overnight, don't wait for the breeze to blow.
After writing, I asked the maid-in-waiting to take it to the garden and burn it, in order to report that the flower god knew that the maid-in-waiting took the imperial edict of Wu Zetian to the garden and burned it, which frightened the Baihua fairy. Let's get together and discuss countermeasures. Peach Blossom Fairy is the least courageous. She flinched and said, "Wu Zetian is ruthless and can do anything. We dare not disobey her! " ?
Several little flower fairies also timidly echoed and said, "Yes! Let us prepare early and open up early! " The peony fairy disagreed with them and said angrily, "Wu Zetian is too overbearing." You are in charge of personnel, and now you are in charge of us. These flowers are open, each with its own season, creating the world and following the four seasons. How dare you go against the sky? We can't from! "
After hearing what fairy peony said, all Hua Xian felt that every sentence made sense. But the thought of Wu Zetian's cruelty made me hesitate again. The Peach Blossom Fairy begged fairy peony to say, "Good sister, you listen to me, so we will obey." Wu Zetian kills people like stepping on an ant, not to mention our delicate flowers. "Many fairies went on to say," Sister, this is also the time. Otherwise, it will be a disaster. "
The peony fairy stubbornly said, "You can't do anything against your will once." What can she do for me as long as our bones are strong and firm? "
By this time, it was already four watches, and it was almost dawn. Seeing that the fairy had made up her mind about peony, the Huaxian had to leave in a hurry to enjoy the flowers by herself.
Birds are chirping and dawn is coming. When Wu Zetian woke up, she was completely drunk. She got dressed, sat in front of the mirror and asked the maid to dress her up. Just then, the maid-in-waiting opened the door and came in, reporting happily, "Long live, all the flowers in the garden are in bloom!" "
When Wu Zetian listened to the music, she thought that the poem she wrote at night was just a joke after drinking. I didn't expect the flowers to really bloom. She hurried out of the palace and came to Shangyuan. Looking up, the peach blossoms, plum blossoms, magnolia, begonia, hibiscus and cloves in the garden are all in full bloom, in clusters, in clusters, with colorful colors.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty came to see the rarity. Wu Zetian faced all the ministers and got carried away, striding towards a bare peony. Her anger rose when she saw that only the peony was not put in the flower. I thought, this is great! If you don't obey me, how can I take power in North Korea? Besides, isn't it humiliating to face these officials?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She swore, "Bold peony! How dare you be so presumptuous? You can't resist the decree. Set fire to it, not a single plant is left! " Say and leave angrily. After receiving the order, the warriors immediately lit firewood to make a fire and threw it into the peony bushes. In an instant, the smoke was rolling and the fire was soaring, and only the peony was ringing. Fairy peony looked at a piece of peony that was about to be destroyed, and couldn't help but shed tears, which made her sad and angry.
At noon, the fire was finished, and the peony garden turned into a piece of burnt ash. The chamberlain told Wu Zetian: Long live the sovereign, the peony has burned to ashes. Wu Zetian, still angry, said bitterly, "uproot Chang 'an, exile it, and throw it into Mangshan, Luoyang, and make it extinct! "
Why did Wu Zetian demote peony to Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang? It turns out that she often comes to Luoyang and has been to Mangshan. She knows that the ravines are vertical and horizontal, remote and desolate, and she can bear it alone in order to feel avenged.
The warriors immediately waved the shovel again, dug up the peony roots, loaded it into Luoyang overnight, and threw it in Mangshanling. Who knows, as soon as peony entered the new soil, it took root again. Next spring, the mountains will be green. Mangshan people have long liked peony, and every household has transplanted it. Later, people in the city heard about it and came to transplant it.
The peony fairy was very happy to see that Luoyang people loved peony so much. In spring, plants are in full bloom and have different postures. People who look at peonies, who help the old and take care of the young, are constantly in the morning and evening, and there are a sea of people, which is extraordinary.
Luoyang peony is flourishing. This peony was identified in the fire of Wu Zetian, and Luoyang people praised it as "burnt peony". Later, after careful cultivation by Luoyang people, the flowers became redder and brighter, and later generations named them "Luoyang Red".
If the legend is really magical, then Luoyang people are even more magical. They can explain this legend so touching and beautiful. Because of this, Wu Zetian deeply loved Luoyang by belittling peony. After the reform and opening up, Luoyang people used this touching legend to turn the peony brand into a city business card and make it famous at home and abroad.

Lu's three plays Bai Mudan:
In other words, after Lv Dongbin became immortal, he traveled around the world. On this day, he was in Tongbai Mountain, but suddenly he found that the earth shook and the house collapsed. Lv Zu pinched her fingers and counted. It turned out that it was just a pangolin demon that had been practicing for thousands of years.
Lv Zu wants to get rid of this demon for the people, but he knows that he will soon become an immortal, so I'm afraid he can't compete with this demon. While hesitating, Taibai Venus pointed out the maze and told Lv Zu that pangolin demon had been on the road for five thousand years, and it was difficult to hurt it with Xianbing as a magic weapon. Only the Queen Mother of the West wears a hairpin on her head, which is an ancient magic weapon. It is fairy peony who serves the Queen Mother of the West to wash and dress. As long as fairy peony can borrow it, it can be done.
The next day, when the Queen Mother of the West held a flat peach festival, Lv Dongbin drove Xiangyun to attend. During the dinner, the Queen Mother of the West ordered fairy peony to pour wine for the immortals. Lv Dongbin took the opportunity to pick up the glass and gently scratched fairy peony's hand with his finger. Fairy peony heart movement, feel a red face, bowed his head.
This is a play.
After a while, the Queen Mother of the West ordered fairy peony to offer a flat peach to the immortal. When she came to Lv Dongbin, fairy peony was not only hesitant, but when she handed the flat peach to Lv Dongbin, Lv Zu gave the peach tray a heavy press, and fairy peony's wrist softened, and he was immediately ashamed as a peach blossom.
This is the second play.
Later, the peony fairy left in a hurry, followed by Lv Dongbin, who caught up with the peony fairy at the edge of Yaochi and said to the fairy, "Although the fairy has a heart, does she envy the world?" , fairy peony slowly bowed his head.
Lv Dongbin said with emotion, "The world is really beautiful. I travel everywhere and have many beautiful scenery. The people are rich, men plow and women weave, and they are happy. " Fairy peony slowly raised his head and said softly, "Really?" ,
Lv Dongbin smiled and pointed to the bottom and said, "Fairy Peony, look there. There is a father and son. They are celebrating the harvest in the field, and then look over there. It was a couple enjoying flowers in the garden. The happiness of human relations is all in silence! " .
At some point, it evoked the fairy peony's yearning for the world. At this time, Lv Dongbin stepped forward, pointed to the area around Tongbai Mountain and said to fairy peony, "But there are monsters in this world. Look here." Fairy peony looked down and saw that the house was about to collapse. Men were crying and women were crying. It was like a sad scene, which not only gave birth to compassion.
Lv Zu promptly offered to borrow the Hosta of the Queen Mother of the West, and after exorcism, helped the fairy peony to visit the world. The fairy agreed. With her help, Lv Dongbin got a jade hairpin to break the magic of pangolin, so as to eliminate the evil of the people in Tongbai Mountain and restore the quiet life in the past.
Later, Lv Dongbin and Taibai Venus * * * tried to persuade the Queen Mother of the West, and finally made the fairy peony travel to the earth, realizing her wish.
It is suggested that the fairy descend to earth three times.
