Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

The next day, at Prince Xian’s mansion.

The second floor of the villa,

In Princess Huainan's room, Li Chenxia, ​​after Zheng Zhengjin woke up, he looked at Li Chenxia lovingly, as she was breathing steadily and sleeping in a very beautiful posture. He got up carefully, took away Yutou's arm that was resting on him, and got out of bed without making a sound.

Come outside and close the door carefully.

At this moment, Yu Youwei was wearing a glazed palace dress. She stood there nervously, waiting for Zheng Zhengjin to take her to court.

She was also very careful and did not disturb Zheng Liwan and the others' rest.
The two of them went downstairs and came to the living room. Zheng Zhengjin held Yu Youwei's hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous. I will take care of everything when we enter the hall."

Yu Youwei nodded shyly: "My husband treats me so well."

Butler Zhang San had been waiting outside the hall. Zheng Zhengjin carried Yu Youwei to the carriage, and then he got on as well. He said to Zhang San, "You will drive the carriage today."

Zhang San said with a smile: "It is a blessing for me to be able to drive for the prince."

It was indeed so. When Zhang San was on holiday, he once boasted to others that he was the steward of Prince Xian's mansion, which made him very proud.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Yu Youwei met many officials.

But others don't know why Prince Xian brought his concubine with him? Yes, in the eyes of others, Yu Youwei is a concubine.

However, the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, and the Minister of War, Li Jing, knew very well that those were the three treasures among horses that could enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty cavalry by three levels.

Soon, the Minister of Justice Li Daozon also came. He squinted his eyes, looked at Yu Youwei curiously, and asked, "Why are you here today? Did your husband bully you and you come to complain?" He said jokingly with a smile.

"Prince Rencheng is joking," Yu Youwei said with a slight bow.

Zheng Zhengjin came to Li Daozong and explained to him. Then Li Xiaogong also heard Zheng Zhengjin's explanation. He was surprised and said, "Wow, wow, this is equipment that can increase the combat power of my Tang cavalry by three levels."

With the intelligence of Li Daozon and Li Xiaogong, they guessed instantly that this was done by Zheng Zhengjin.

Yu Youwei was left outside. She had to wait for Xuan before she could enter the hall.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Minister of Works, come out and speak."

Duan Lun immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Xian's concubine Yu Youwei has developed equipment that can improve the combat effectiveness of our Tang cavalry by three levels. Yesterday, the minister of war, Li Jing and I tested it and it is indeed true. I hope Your Majesty can reward those who have made contributions."

"Xuan Yu Youwei enter the hall," Wang De knew the inside story and immediately said in a shrill voice.

After Yu Youwei entered the palace, she was shocked to see the grand and majestic Taiji Hall. She then bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon throne and said, "Your Majesty, I, Yu Youwei, pay my respects to you. I wish you the best of luck and good health."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, then looked at Zheng Zhengjin meaningfully, thinking: "This kid has a good eye," and then waved his hand and said: "Stand up."

Yu Youwei saw Zheng Zhengjin standing behind Li Xiaogong and winking at her. If this was not a serious occasion, she would have laughed out loud.

Li Shimin said: "You have done a great job in presenting the treasure yesterday. Is there anything you want?" This was just a blank check from Li Shimin, leaving Yu Youwei with a lot of room to play.

"Your Majesty, I have two wishes." As soon as Yu Youwei finished speaking, many ministers felt that Yu Youwei was still a concubine and could not be in public. The Emperor asked her to express her wishes, and she actually dared to say it.

At this moment, many civil officials seemed to look down on Yu Youwei. After all, Yu Youwei's identity had been reported before: she was Prince Xian's concubine.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, looking at Yu Youwei with a spirited gaze. The glass-colored palace dress made her waist look quite slender. Her pink face seemed to emit a white glow, and her red lips looked extremely attractive. Even some old-timers in the court couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but they only looked a few more times. As for having any thoughts, they really didn't have the courage to do so.

It is said that Zheng Qishuang's illegitimate son, Zheng Xiong, was kicked out as a eunuch by Zheng Zhengjin last night because he spoke rudely to Zheng Liwan.

"You say, as long as I can do it." Li Shimin said happily.

Yu Youwei looked directly at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "I wish that our Tang Dynasty will prosper and our wise ruler will live long. I also wish that the people of this world will not go hungry or cold, and that they will have food to eat and a place to live."

When Yu Youwei said this, even Zheng Zhengjin didn't expect that his woman's vision would be so big.
A woman could have such lofty ambitions. Many loyal officials in the court thought that such a talent could not be a man. If she were a man, she would definitely be a pillar of the country and a good official.

Those who had previously looked down upon Yu Youwei because she was a concubine, now had to stop their muttering, their faces flushed red, as if they had been slapped in the face.

Li Shimin was first pleased by Yu Youwei's wish that the Tang Dynasty would prosper and the wise ruler live long.

Then I was shocked by the words of the second wish that all people in the world would not be hungry, would not be cold, would have food to eat, and would have a place to live.

This is what a woman said. It is very inspiring.

"Good, good, well said." Li Shimin stood up excitedly from the dragon throne and said, "Give Yu Youwei the title of Madam Yu, the same title as the princess, and don't kneel when you see me. I will reward you with ten hu of pearls."

Yu Youwei bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave first." Yu Youwei accepted the reward without changing her expression and slowly left the Taiji Hall.
After she walked outside the palace, she patted her trembling chest with her jade hands to ease the agitated emotions in her heart.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin swept through all the civil and military officials and said coldly: "Why were there so many noises down there when you were still a concubine in Prince Xian's Mansion just now, huh?" A nasal sound made some officials who had been muttering and looking down on Yu Youwei break out in cold sweats on their backs.

"She can single-handedly come up with equipment that increases the combat effectiveness of our Tang Dynasty cavalry by 30%. What about you? Besides, Mrs. Yu's talent is not necessarily inferior to everyone here. It happens that I have a poem written by Mrs. Yu here, and I believe this poem will be remembered forever." As he said this, Li Shimin took out a piece of paper, which made Zheng Zhengjin laugh.

It seems that this piece of paper was taken away by Empress Changsun, but unexpectedly, Li Shimin took it out and showed off now.

"My dear ministers, listen carefully to me. This poem is called "Gift to the Neighbor's Girl".
Shame days cover your sleeves, worry about spring and do your makeup.

It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a heart.

I shed tears on my pillow, and my intestines were broken between the flowers.

Since you can see Song Yu, why hate Wang Chang?"

Then, the historian recorded each item one by one, "At the beginning of the first year of Zhenguan, the concubine of Prince Xian presented treasures for merit, and was specially rewarded in Taiji Hall. Emperor Taizong personally recited her poem "Presented to the Neighbor's Girl"."

Li Shimin naturally admired Yu Youwei's talent very much, and thought to himself: "I just wonder if this talented person will participate in the imperial examination this autumn."

In fact, for a man, such a reward from Li Shimin was very light. But Yu Youwei was a woman, with the same status as a princess. She did not kneel when she saw the emperor, so this reward was much more important. In fact, Li Shimin also gave Zheng Zhengjin enough face.
