Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 128 The indifferent and arrogant Xu Junyan?
Zhou Chengrui seemed to smile even more after hearing this, "Oh? The mother concubine even invited Zhen Guohou? This time... the mother concubine has earned enough face."

After all... this Xu Junyan is not someone who can be invited casually.

Even to himself, Xu Junyan didn't want to buy it.

Concubine Li first glanced at Huai Shu on her right hand, but saw that she just lowered her head to herself, and her face was a little unhappy.

Seeing Huai Shu like this, Concubine Li was a little displeased.

She smiled lightly and said: "Of course I know that the Marquis of Zhen is a young and promising person. Today is just a coincidence. I heard the words of Director Wei who is next to the Holy One, so I learned of the Marquis of Zhen. It's also in the Imperial Study Room, this... I naturally wanted to invite them together, but I didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhen Guo took all of my pride."

Speaking of which, Concubine Li got up and warned Huai Shu who was not moving at all: "Huai Shu...why don't you get up to pick you up?"

At this time, Mu Nan and Jiang Jinyan also stood silently aside.

Sitting aside, Huai Shu pursed her lips in surprise and got up reluctantly.

She secretly hated it for a long time.

Who knows... what does Zhen Guohou look like? !
He's not that old yet... His reputation is already that of a cold-faced evil spirit.

In and out of the battlefield... who knows if he has a scar on his face? !And who knows if he is vulgar? !
To marry such a rough man with a rich body...wouldn't it be a joke to the world!

Seeing Huai Shu's appearance, Concubine Li felt annoyed again.

I am going to invite the Marquis of Zhen Guo to come today, so I naturally want to find a way to ask for Emperor Yongning's will.

Now that Marquis Zhen Guo has returned from Jiangnan, the position of the army and court has become even more stable.

If he doesn't make a move at this time, is it possible for him to just wait? !
Of those other aristocratic families or important court officials, which one wouldn't weigh the worth of this Zhen Guohou? !
Just as he was thinking, Emperor Yongning, who was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered dragon brocade robe, and Xu Junyan, who was dressed in a stone blue dark embroidered regular dress brocade robe, entered the garden one after the other.

All the young ladies or newly promoted concubines in the garden, as well as a large number of court ladies and eunuchs, knelt down on the ground when they saw the bright yellow clothes.

Emperor Yongning was in a happy mood today, waved his hands to everyone and said: "It's okay, since today is a palace banquet, it's the fact that I've come to disturb the cleanliness, so let's all live without courtesy."

Jiang Jinyan was about to get up, when Zhou Chengrui who was on the side saw this and hurriedly reached out to help him.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Jinyan immediately withdrew his hand, then stepped aside calmly and said, "Thank you, lord, for your help, Jinyan."

Although this movement was subtle, all of it entered Xu Junyan's deep eyes, as if there were ripples in his ink-like eyes.

Jiang Jinyan raised his head suddenly, as if he was about to fall into those eyes that were smiling.

But at this time, she seemed indifferent as if she had known her for a long time, and she actually looked back with a smile.

At this time, Mu Nan beside Jiang Jinyan and Huai Shu beside Concubine Li were stunned when they saw Xu Junyan.

Mu Nan opened her mouth, but her reaction was extremely fast. She quickly lowered her head to hide the shock in her eyes.

He... he turned out to be the Marquis of the Great Zhou!
The deeds of Zhen Guohou have already spread to Anxi, and she has already heard of them...

But I can't do it no matter what... connect this young and promising Marquis of Zhen Guo with the man in front of him!
This man is too quiet and indifferent, from a distance he looks like an ordinary scholar.

However, although this man is dressed in elegant clothes, the incomparable aura that the superior is in control of is constantly radiating from his body!
Even if he was injured by him in the Suzaku camp, I never thought of this!
Mu Nan frowned, as if after meeting this man, even his ability to judge seemed to be dull!
On the other hand, Princess Huaishu next to Concubine Li's right hand looked at Xu Junyan in a daze...

This person... When I met him in the palace that day, I let myself be haunted by it!
I just never thought about it...

He, he turned out to be Xu Junyan!

It was Xu Junyan whose mother and elder brother wanted to marry him off!

This handsome and unparalleled man...is that Xu Junyan who made him resist in every possible way? !
She was both eager and happy...

Now that she no longer resists, if she marries such a person, she will not be a princess in vain!

Concubine Li also smiled at Emperor Yongning and nodded, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs every day, but you should come out and walk around more. The garden is also lively today, so naturally I dare not hide my secrets."

As she said that, she turned to Xu Junyan with a smile and said, "This is the Marquis of Zhen Guo, right? Sure enough, it should not be underestimated. Today, I have gained face by inviting the Marquis of Zhen Guo."

Xu Junyan cupped his hands, his face was gloomy and he said: "Xu is just a martial artist, but he took the trouble to let the concubine praise him."

Concubine Li listened to his non-salty tone, so she took a hard look at him.

This Xu Junyan does not match the rumors...

It's true that he looks a bit indifferent, and seems to be an extremely difficult character.

Emperor Yongning smiled lightly at Concubine Li, "Concubine Li is being polite."

At this time, at the gate of the garden, several women in beautiful palace attire came slowly.

Concubine Li glanced at those people.

Concubine Xian and Meng Zhaoyi...

This post has been sent out long ago, and the time for the banquet has passed.

Unexpectedly, concubine Xian and Meng Zhaoyi came one after the other at this time.

how?

Could it be that he couldn't sit still when he heard that the sage was coming up?
The deep palace is lonely, so you can't sit still?

Also.

Concubine Li glanced at the two delicate and flower-like nobles standing not far away, with a clear smile in her eyes.

Now this Ningde Palace... is in full swing...

But to be able to get the news of Linqiu Palace so quickly... It seems that the manpower of Linqiu Palace should be cleaned up.

At this time Concubine Xian and Meng Zhaoyi had already entered the garden one after the other, they both stood still and bowed to Emperor Yongning.

"The concubine has seen the Holy Majesty."

Then he bowed to Concubine Li again.

Emperor Yongning nodded slightly to the two of them, "Concubine Xian and Meng Zhaoyi came in time, please take your seat."

Concubine Li also nodded, "I will return from the palace banquet today with all my heart, so don't be cautious."

Seeing that Emperor Yongning and Concubine Li had both spoken, everyone returned to their respective cases.

Concubine Li got up to give up the seat, Emperor Yongning waved his hand and said: "Concubine Tai doesn't need to be so troublesome, I am not here to deal with political affairs today, I just sit on the side to enjoy the joy of this palace banquet."

After speaking, he ordered the eunuch on the side to prepare the seats.

At this time, however, Zhou Chengrui was holding the painting of ink bamboos facing the water, and said with a light smile: "I want to ask the sage for a prize, since everyone is here, why don't you enjoy this painting together and ask a few questions?" A poem that fits the occasion, but it does not disappoint this beautiful scene."

King Duan of Luoyang is well known for his poetic charm and romantic talent. Hearing what he said, he naturally nodded his head.

Jiang Jinyan sat next to Mu Nan, and glanced at Zhou Chengrui, who had no desires and desires. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and remained silent.

Naturally, she understood in her heart that Zhou Chengrui would not let go of such a good opportunity to show that she has no desires and desires, and expresses her love for poetry and painting this week.

Emperor Yongning was really happy when he heard this, he nodded and said: "Of course I know, the emperor has always been proficient in poetry and painting, just according to what the emperor said, I also look at this one who has caught the eyes of the emperor... ...is such a stunning and refined painting..."

Then Emperor Yongning glanced at the little eunuch beside him, the little eunuch quickly understood, and then bowed and walked to Zhou Chengrui's side.

Zhou Chengrui smiled and unfolded the scroll with his own hands, and the little eunuch held the scroll around the garden.

Emperor Yongning was also very happy when he saw the ink bamboo, he said with a smile: "Since everyone has appreciated this painting, they all wrote poems, and King Duan will judge which sentence wins the first place, I will reward you heavily."

Afterwards, everyone in the garden was immersed in meditation, and a long line of court ladies and eunuchs presented pens, inks, papers and inkstones to the masters and ladies one after another.

After a silence, another little eunuch collected the poems on each case.

Jiang Jinyan shook his head slightly at this moment and smiled, Mo Zhu was facing the water...

It does have a taste of that person.

Flying thousands of feet of jade in the cold, sprinkling a forest of frost.

Ben didn't want to pick up a pen to write anything, but the pictures in his mind kept going, Jiang Jinyan just picked up a pen at this moment and finished it overnight.

Zhou Chengrui sat upright behind the desk next to Emperor Yongning, flipping through a piece of paper with a peaceful face.

These verses are either too eloquent in rhetoric, or they are flashy...

Suddenly his eyes stopped, and then his fingers paused.

Flying thousands of feet of jade in the cold, sprinkling a forest of frost.

The artistic conception of wanting to talk is to render the charm of the bamboo in every detail...

A mere ten words is already wonderful.

Emperor Yongning saw that he had been looking at him for a long time, and he became interested, "Brother, did you see any good lines?"

Zhou Chengrui pressed the piece of paper, "After all, it's a good sentence and wording. It's a clever hand, but I don't know who made it. It's very subtle to mention the words for this painting of ink bamboo and water."

As he spoke, he seemed to be reminiscing, and then read: "Flying a thousand feet of jade in the cold, sprinkling a forest of frost."

Mu Nan beside Jiang Jinyan smiled and said, "This is written by Jinyan."

Zhou Chengrui raised his eyes and said with a gentle smile, "Oh? Miss Jiang did it?"

Concubine Li also smiled at this time: "It is indeed a good poem... It is thanks to Jin Yan that he thought it up."

Xu Junyan lowered his eyes, savoring these ten words over and over again.

Then the corners of the mouth slightly raised.

This girl really has such a temper...

Jiang Jinyan got up and saluted, "Jinyan just made up the numbers, it's really not worth mentioning."

Xu Junyan chuckled, "The poem is wonderful."

Even Xu Junyan opened his mouth!

Emperor Yongning thought of what he had said just now in the imperial study, and then glanced meaningfully at Jiang Jinyan next to Concubine Li.

This Jiang Jinyan is quite a beauty...

As for Xu Junyan's status, it is true...Jiang Jinyan's background is quite different.

But Jiang Jinyan's natal family is Fang's...

If the two of them get married, this matter...

When Emperor Yongning lowered his eyes and remained silent, Zhou Chengrui had already opened his mouth, "I heard that the Marquis of Zhen Guo had a good handwriting before he joined the army, and he carried a silver hook painted on iron. I don't know if I will have such a blessing today..."

Just as Xu Junyan was about to lower his face, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Jinyan's clear eyes.

Thinking of that verse, his smile deepened.

Immediately Xu Junyan said lightly: "Just take the painting."

Zhou Chengrui was surprised, he knew that Xu Junyan disdained to do such things, so he wanted to frustrate Xu Junyan's arrogance in front of Emperor Yongning.

Didn't expect... he actually agreed like that? !

Jiang Jinyan was also stunned.

Is this still the indifferent Xu Junyan?
