Original text:
At first, there was snow in the calyx, so it was difficult to draw a picture alone.
There is rhyme in the fragrance, which is extremely cold.
Come to listen to the flute sorrow, but lean on the disease.
If the wind blows, it is easy to destroy.
Translation:
Plum blossoms are first released, and the calyx still contains snow; Plum blossoms are beautiful and aloof, even if they want to be painted, they will worry about the vividness of difficult paintings.
There is rhyme in flowers, and elegant people don't know the cold in winter.
People who are sad in their hearts don't want to listen to the sad flute, and the sick body depends on the plum branches to watch the scenery alone.
If the north wind understands my pity, please don't destroy it easily.

Zhen Xuan was born beautiful, similar to Queen Chunyuan. She took part in the draft with her sisters Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, and was chosen by the emperor because she looked like the dead Pure Yuan Queen. The last three people were selected together. However, because of Hua Fei's arrogance, she pressed hard, and because of Shen Meizhuang's injustice, An Lingrong came to their senses, and the naive Zhen Xuan gradually became a smart woman in the harem.
However, he was assassinated soon, and his father was involved in the literary inquisition and jailed. After giving birth to her daughter, Zhen Xuan, who was disheartened, chose to practice in the palace. Outside the palace, due to the careful care of Guo Ziyu County (King Qinghe), the two loved each other and waited for the opportunity to fly away. Later, due to misinformation about the death of Liu Yun (Xuanqing), Zhen Xuan designed to meet the emperor and return to the palace to save the flesh and blood in his belly.
After Zhen Xuan gave birth to twins, Zhen's father's injustice was rehabilitated, Zhen's father was reused by the emperor, and the Zhen Shi family rose again. Zhen Xuan evaded the Queen's frame-up many times, even framed the Queen with her own abortion plan, and then perjured herself with Princess Oboro Moon. The queen could not argue, and finally succeeded in bringing down the queen. Zhen Xuan, cheated and spoiled by nature, could only watch his sweetheart die in his arms.
