Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 123

Yun Qing smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone may say that I am selfish, so I will read the poems of the three of them next, and if there is anyone who thinks that they are better than them, you can ask everyone to vote, I will definitely Not biased."


Saying that, Yun Qing glanced at Yun Ya indifferently, and asked with a smile: "Yun Ya, if you are willing to enter the palace, then you can stand beside the two of them. If you don't want to, I will force you. Send someone else, and you can step down yourself!"


As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Ya's face again, and she felt that her whole body was stabbed uncomfortably. She gritted her teeth resentfully, and stood beside Bai Zixian unwillingly.


Everyone's eyes on her also changed from surprise to disdain at the beginning. It seems that the queen is not very partial to her!It's just that she is lucky to have the elder sister of the queen. If it were someone else, she would have been kicked out of the ranks of show girls by now.


Yun Qing nodded in satisfaction, and seeing that everyone below was waiting for her to read, she gently picked up Xiao Yuran's paper and read:

"Yesterday was windy and uncomfortable,
Red makeup and plain feathers wrapped in love.

When I suddenly looked up today,
The peony has bloomed late!
This is the title poem written by the beautiful girl Xiao Yuran!His poems have neat rhymes and clear metaphors, which I appreciate very much! ".


As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the glamorous Xiao Yuran, secretly envious of her beauty and outstanding talent, and couldn't help but turn the previous disdain for her nobility into envy .

"Thank you for your compliment!" Xiao Yuran bowed and blessed, with a conceited joy evident in his expression.

With a smile on her face, Yun Qing raised her hand to excuse her, then smiled at Bai Zixian beside her, and continued to read:

"White head looks at the head and recalls the fleeting years,

The hand held by the child will hold each other forever.

The line in the hands of a good wife and a married couple,
I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals.

The beautiful woman Bai Zixian's verses are neat and neat, with beautiful artistic conception and elegant words. The whole poem is full of yearning for beautiful love, which is amazing! ".


"Thank you for your compliment." Bai Zixian bowed down. Although her dress was light, it was elegant and beautiful.That soft voice made Yun Qing couldn't help but smile at her again, and then nodded to make her calm down.

Come to think of it, this is also a woman who yearns for love, but she doesn't know if she understands the man holding his hand, but he is the one who can't give her such beauty!


With a sigh in his heart, Yun Qing finally picked up Yun Ya's poem and continued to read:

"The clouds are like thin catkins and willows,

The elegant seat and leisure pavilion are quiet and clear.

The wind and snow are like a dream,
I only hope for the king's grace.

This poem is similar to Bai Zixian's, but the metaphor is slightly different, but the overall poetic mood is very beautiful, so I decided to let the three of you be directly selected. I wonder if you have any objections? ".


"Your Majesty, I'll be ashamed of myself!" All the girls echoed in unison, only Yunya snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Yunqing's putting her poem at the end.

However, after passing by just now, she didn't dare to speak provocatively again, but kept a stern face and kept silent.


After listening to the poems written by the three of them, the other show girls also felt that they were lucky not to be rejected, but compared with these three, they were a little worse.

Therefore, everyone unanimously asked Yun Qing to take the next question, and there was absolutely no objection to Yun Qing's choice.


Seeing that everyone agrees with his choice, Yun Qing nodded in satisfaction, and said again: "Okay, I will start to ask the next question now. Is this the next question? Those who come out and answer well will be recommended directly to the emperor by this palace, and those who cannot answer will be placed in the same question as above!".


"Please tell me clearly!" After the last question, all the girls thought that Yun Qing would use these poems and songs as the question, so they had already prepared in their hearts.

But who would have thought that when Yun Qing opened his mouth, everyone was stunned. They never expected that the queen would test them on this...


Yun Qing cleared his throat and said slowly: "All the beautiful women present are the daughters of some important ministers and merchants, and even the daughters of kings and county kings from various places. They are all scholarly and innocent families.


Bengong thought, you must be mostly young ladies who don't know the sufferings of the world, and you may not know the deep meaning of the so-called poor people's livelihood!Therefore, I would like to ask, how do you feel about the plague disaster that is spreading in the southeast? "Yun Qing looked at everyone calmly, turning a blind eye to the surprised expressions of everyone below, and just smiled indifferently.


So just after she finished asking, Yun Ya, who had always been unhappy, finally seized the opportunity, took the lead to take a step forward, bowed slightly to Yun Qing, and asked back: "Your Majesty is a little puzzled by what you said, please explain, Since ancient times, why did the harem not interfere in politics?".

As soon as this question was asked, some beautiful girls who also had doubts in their hearts couldn't help raising their heads, hoping to hear how the queen would answer.


Because what Yun Qing asked at this time was the plague disaster that the courtiers were struggling with, this matter should be considered by the courtiers and the emperor, how to let them, the women who are waiting for the draft, participate?
If the emperor knows, won't it involve everyone and commit holy wrath?

"The theory of intervening in politics means that empresses and concubines are not allowed to participate in the important affairs of the court, nor can they affect the emperor's judgment, let alone affect the operation of the court!" Yun Qing looked at Yun Ya calmly, and continued:


"Although the so-called people's livelihood belongs to the category of government affairs, it is a major concern for all living beings. We are all the people of Tianque. Only when the people's livelihood is safe and peaceful, can the country be stable; and if the country is stable, then there will be the emperor's heart. install!

And although we are the empress and concubines, we are also a citizen of Tianque, and the stability of Tianque is also our common concern!So what we want to discuss today is only a personal opinion, and has nothing to do with the government or the harem!It is only closely related to my patriotic heart! ".


With a heartbeat, Bai Zixian couldn't help but look deeper at Yun Qing.

I thought to myself, how could such a woman not be appreciated by the emperor, both in terms of talent and appearance, and with such captivating charm?
