Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Zheng Zhengjin watched the lady boss treat Yu Youwei so warmly and thought, "Doesn't this handsome guy have any dignity? I am a duke, too. Why are you so disrespectful to me?"

Yu Youwei picked up a tassel from the stall and pinned it in her hair. Then she looked at Zheng Zhengjin with her big eyes and asked, "Sir, does it look good?"

Zheng Zhengjin did not give a perfunctory nod, and said jokingly: "Oh, whose young wife is this? She is so pretty."

Yu Youwei's pretty face instantly turned red, and she said shyly: "Sir, you are making fun of me~~~"

Zheng Zhengjin laughed twice, then asked the proprietress: "How much is this tassel?"

The lady at the stall was also an honest person. She said, "Thirty copper coins. We made it by hand."

Zheng Zhengjin had never carried copper coins before, so he took out a tael of silver from his trouser pocket and placed it on the proprietress's stall. He generously took Yu Youwei's hand and said, "The rest is a reward for you."

The lady boss was a little stunned when she saw the silver. She thought, "This gentleman is so generous. I can buy some meat to eat later. Thank you so much, gentleman."

Yu Youwei felt that she was really happy at this moment. Although her heart was sweet, she still said, "Sir, I'm sorry for making you spend money."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled at Yu Youwei and said, "There is a saying that goes, a thousand gold coins cannot buy my happiness. Isn't it just money? If you lose it, you can earn it again." After saying that, he put his arm around her waist and laughed.
But at this moment on the street, with people coming and going, his laughter was like a grain of sand falling into the sea, without even causing any waves.

"It seems like someone is holding a poetry gathering at Wangjiang Tower today?"

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is only natural for Wangjiang Tower to hold such a grand event."

"I heard it was the beautiful and charming Zheng Liwan from Chang'an, Miss Zheng!"

"Hey, speaking of this Miss Zheng, she is also unlucky."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"You didn't even know about this. Now many people in Chang'an know about it. Her husband's family broke off the engagement."

"Is this true? Someone actually broke off an engagement. Is that person a fool?"

"What do you know? Let me tell you, someone in my family saw it with their own eyes in the court."

"What? How did this matter end up in the imperial court?"

"Well, let me tell you slowly. When the current emperor ascended the throne, there would definitely be a selection of concubines. Cui Geng, the Minister of Rites, recommended to the current emperor that the daughter of Zheng Renji was young and beautiful, with both a beautiful voice and a beautiful face. So at that time, the emperor intended to take Miss Zheng Liwan as his concubine. However, as luck would have it, Wei Zheng, the imperial envoy of the time, impeached Cui Geng to Your Majesty, saying that Cui Geng deliberately made the current emperor have the stigma of robbing a commoner girl. Because at that time, Wei Zheng said that Zheng Liwan was already engaged. It was the kind of marriage that was arranged since birth.

The emperor's face turned black at that time. After all, the current emperor must aspire to be a wise ruler.

How could he do such a thing as raping a woman? So the court asked Lord Zheng Renji about it. After hearing Lord Zheng's statement, the emperor wanted to punish the Minister of Rites, but in the end, he just let him off lightly.

So when Zheng Liwan's fiancé's family heard the news, their legs went weak with fear.

That afternoon, he hurried to the Zheng family and broke off the engagement with Zheng Liwan. This matter made Zheng Liwan very uncomfortable. After all, she has been labeled as the concubine of the current emperor. Who dares to marry her? It's a waste of time. What do you think of what the Minister of Rites, Cui Geng, did? "

"Puchi, being too beautiful and talented is also a sin."

"Hey, in that case, does Zheng's family have a grudge against Cui Geng's family?"

"I know this. It seems that Lord Cui Geng's son fell in love with Zheng Liwan, but Zheng Liwan rejected him in public."

"It seems that this unfortunate fellow Cui Geng doesn't even know that Zheng Liwan actually had a childhood marriage. And it was a marriage arranged by betrothal."

"This girl has been labeled as the emperor's concubine. Anyone who dares to marry her would be risking his life. Well, it's bad luck for Miss Zheng to have met that guy from the Cui family."

Zheng Zhengjin was stunned when he heard a group of talented people discussing Zheng Liwan.

"What on earth is going on in this world? Zheng Zhengjin was really helpless. This was beyond his expectations. Could his butterfly wings be so powerful?"

Yu Youwei was also worried about Zheng Liwan. Under the current circumstances, the emperor was afraid of rumors and would definitely not take Zheng Liwan as his concubine. After all, if the emperor did so, it would be a confirmation of the accusation of forcibly abducting a commoner woman. Thousands of years later, the current emperor would definitely be scolded.

She had also heard of Zheng Liwan's reputation, a remarkable woman with both beauty and talent.

Together with Changsun Pinting, they are known as the two beauties of Chang'an.

But both talented women have different styles.
One is as active as a mad rabbit, the other is as quiet as a virgin, in short, they are both talented.

Then Yu Youwei thought about it again. Although the status of women in this world is a little higher, it is still not as good as that of men. Even so, she could only sigh slightly, lower her eyes, and look in front of her. The fox Xiaobai in the schoolbag was looking at her with its charming fox eyes. Moreover, Xiaobai had stretched out his front legs at some point and patted Yu Youwei's bulging chest gently a few times, as if to comfort her to think more positively.

She smiled gently. Yu Youwei really wanted to laugh at Xiaobai's hooligan behavior.

Then she looked at Zheng Zhengjin beside her tenderly and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you want to go to the Wangjiang Tower to meet this talented woman?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled gently at Yu Youwei at this moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you sure you don't want me to go and mess things up?"

Zheng Zhengjin was dressed in strange clothes and was handsome, so even though he spoke in a low voice, some of the talented people around him could still hear him.

"You are so arrogant. We don't even dare to say that we can surpass Miss Zheng in poetry. Today I have learned a lot."

"That's right, that's right. He even said that he went to destroy Miss Zheng's place. He is totally ignorant and stupid."

"He looks like a normal person, but is there something wrong with his brain?"

The criticisms around Zheng Zhengjin really made him helpless, but Yu Youwei was angry. She was Zheng Zhengjin's person, so how could she tolerate these people attacking Zheng Zhengjin? So she was indignant and prepared to support Zheng Zhengjin.

Zheng Zhengjin held her delicate little hand, smiled, and shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, Youwei, I won't bother with a group of people who are trying to catch mice with dogs." (End of this chapter)
