Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Zheng Liwan's purpose of going to Duke Xianguo's mansion was very simple, which was to learn more.

After all, her father had already praised Zheng Zhengjin to the skies.

And after seeing him last night, she couldn't help herself.

She narrowed her eyes and said to Zheng Zhengjin, "Sir, can you teach me the style of your singing last night? I think it's a bit strange, but it's very pleasant to the ear."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled, but suddenly said: "It's not difficult, it's just that the vocal part is different. I call it opera singing."

"Opera tune?" Zheng Liwan began to slowly recall the operas she said she had heard, and slowly she felt that it seemed to be true.

Although opera was not very popular in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still performed during general festivals.

At this moment, Liang Hai came to the pavilion while rubbing his waist. The moment he saw Zheng Liwan, he was shocked by her beauty. He then bowed seriously and said, "Hello, Madam."

The teacup in Zheng Zhengjin's hand almost fell to the ground.

Zheng Liwan was already confused by Liang Hai's actions.

Zheng Zhengjin angrily scolded Liang Hai, scolding: "This is the daughter of Zheng Renji, the master, don't call her that."

Liang Hai chuckled and said, "Okay, Master. I'm sorry, Madam."

"You bastard, get out of here now." Zheng Zhengjin almost spit out his tea. This guy is here to cause trouble.

Liang Hai was obedient and ran away quickly.

Last night, he gave the madam of Wanhua Tower in Pingkangfang a severe beating.

Zheng Zhengjin looked at Zheng Liwan who was sitting opposite her in a daze and said, "Miss, please don't blame me. He has no bad intentions."

Yu Youwei smiled and comforted Zheng Liwan as well, then said, "Yes, what the young master said is true. Although they are a little strange, they are still good people."

After Zheng Liwan came back to her senses, she nodded and said with a faint smile, "It's okay." But in her heart she was wondering why everything in Master Zheng's house was so strange, she couldn't understand it.

"Haha, I'm curious, did you know about Wang Yan's incident last night in advance, or did you just guess it? Today this matter has even been brought up in the court, which has brought me a lot of fun." Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wugou, Li Leyan, Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang, they followed behind Li Er, smiling, and they must have been very happy as well.

Yu Youwei stood up and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to your majesty, the queen, and the princess." But before she could finish her salute, Empress Changsun interrupted her and said, "That's not necessary."

Zheng Liwan and Yutou were both confused.

But Zheng Liwan was no fool. She stood up immediately and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, and your Majesty the Queen." She and her maid Yutou bowed their heads and saluted.

It was normal that Li Shimin did not know Zheng Liwan, but Empress Changsun knew her.

She said to Zheng Liwan with a smile: "No need to be like that, I guess you are the daughter of Zheng Renji, the master of Zheng family!"

Zheng Liwan exclaimed in her heart, thinking that Empress Zhangsun actually remembered her, but this was not a good thing.

So she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's you, the queen." "It's just as the rumors say, her voice and beauty are both amazing. All right, sit down, just treat us as ordinary people." Empress Changsun smiled, then looked at Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't look at Zheng Liwan. After all, no matter how beautiful she was, he, Li Shimin, had concubines in his harem, not to mention that Changsun Wugou was also a stunning beauty.

Zheng Liwan had no choice but to obey the order, but his heart was already filled with turmoil. He looked at Zheng Zhengjin suspiciously, thinking, "It seems that Master Zheng Zhengjin did not perform the ceremony before. Will this offend the emperor? After all, when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are no joke."

Li Shimin sat down next to Zheng Zhengjin, and Empress Zhangsun sat next to Li Shimin.
Yu Youwei started her tea-making work.

Li Leyan sat on the other side of Zheng Zhengjin.

As for the two little cuties, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang, they went to play with Abao.

At this time, Zheng Zhengjin asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

"It was the arrogant young man you met last night when you were boating on the lake. His name was Wang Yan, and he is the eldest son of the former Minister of Revenue Wang Kui! But he is not the same person today." Li Shimin saw that Zheng Zhengjin was also confused as to what was going on, so he guessed in his heart that Zheng Zhengjin might really not know.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "It is rare that such an arrogant and unreasonable person has lived to such an old age without being beaten to death. But Your Majesty, what you said is not the same today. What does this mean?" Zheng Zhengjin asked confusedly. After all, to Zheng Zhengjin, Wang Yan was just a poor little ant.

Li Shimin said, "You helped Wang Kui solve a big case. Wang Yan, the bastard, is not Wang Kui's biological son. This matter was even brought to the court this morning. It was quite a scene. Wang Kui must thank you very much."

Zheng Zhengjin said at this time: "I don't know if they dare not thank me, but I know that the Cui family and the Wang family must hate me to death. If it weren't for this incident, there would be no rift between them. And the Wang family would not have lost face because of this incident."

"Ah, isn't this too unfair? After all, it was because of your words, sir, that the Wang family knew that the child they had raised for more than ten years was someone else's." Zheng Liwan said naively.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "You are still too naive. These so-called noble families are actually thieves and prostitutes. What do these noble families care about most is the reputation of their own family. They will not be grateful to me, but hate me to the core."

Li Shimin was silent for a moment. After a moment, he slowly told Zheng Zhengjin what had happened in the morning court.

"This is a good thing. We can use this incident to widen the rifts between the aristocratic families. In this way, we can defeat them one by one," Zheng Zhengjin said.

At this moment, Zheng Liwan wanted to poke out her ears, as if she had heard some shocking secret.
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin looked at Zheng Zhengjin curiously. He had never had a good impression of aristocratic families or the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

Zheng Zhengjin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "The Cui family will probably spend a lot of money today to make the Wang family stop caring about it, but the rift has already been created, so Your Majesty can just have someone stir it up occasionally. After all, it's fun to give them some fun."

Li Shimin nodded,
Then he continued, "Today in the court, Li Daozong actually read out your poem "Joining the Army" and showed off for a while. It even surprised the Imperial College's chief academic officer, Kong Yingda, so much that he wanted to invite you to the Imperial College."

"Forget it. If Confucius knew that his descendants had such moral character, he would probably be mad to death." In fact, it was not that Zheng Zhengjin looked down on Confucianism, but that Confucianism had been distorted too much.

"Ah?" Zheng Liwan was a little surprised. She knew how high the status of the Imperial College's chief academic officer was.

But in Zheng Zhengjin's eyes, he clearly looked down upon the Imperial College.

Li Shimin thought with a malicious interest in his heart that one day he would ask Zheng Zhengjin to enter the court and have a verbal battle with that group of Confucian scholars to see who would be better.

Suddenly, Li Shimin remembered what Zheng Zhengjin said, "Old Confucius." You know, Confucius is a saint. Zheng Zhengjin called him like this, which means he knew the saint Confucius. In this way, he would have a chance to become an immortal and live forever in the future.

But now Li Shimin was not going to ask more questions. After all, Zheng Zhengjin was not yet his son-in-law at this time.
