First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 124

Why is this?Zeng Rou really couldn't figure it out. She was regarded by them as a target to punish the outstanding Prince Cheng. Zeng Rou had been attacked for many years... Could it be that Prince Cheng's 'special affection' for her and hurting her would make Prince Cheng suffer? ?
Give me a break!

What if they all admired Prince Cheng?Generally, reborn men are full of peach blossoms. Thinking about it this way, Zeng Rou feels much happier. It's better to be optimistic!

The ring pendant jingled, the fragrance of makeup and powder permeated the air, and the servant shouted, "The empress is here."

"The fourth concubine of Virtue, Virtuous and Virtuous has arrived."

"Ninth concubine is here."

Zeng Rou followed the crowd of women who knelt down to pay homage to the emperor, and the one who walked in the front was naturally the current empress.

Zeng Rou glanced at it, and found that the empress was obviously not as well maintained as Concubine Shu. Although the phoenix robe made her very noble, she looked like an old woman in her sixties. Among the four concubines, only Concubine Shu was the best. , no wonder Concubine Shu is the most favored.

Nine concubines are much younger than the empress and four concubines, one of them is only [-] years old, bright and charming, very charming, Zeng Rou saw her standing at the head of the nine concubines, Zhaoyi—as if she was the emperor's hunting belt Li Zhaoyi returned to the palace.

The draft is not enough to fill the harem today, and the emperor often goes out of the palace to eat wild food.

Zeng Rou has lost more than half of her respect for today, no matter how wise she is, she will not change her lustful scum.

But every man thinks about white hair facing a beauty, a pear blossom crushing a begonia...

The empress and concubine did not take their seats, but each stood beside the cushions. Then the jade bell rang, the drums played together, and the servants shouted shrilly, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is arriving, and all the officials and wives kneel down to welcome her."

"Kneel and kowtow."

"Kneel twice, then kowtow."

"Kneel three times and kowtow three times."

Zeng Rou knelt and kowtowed three times along with the crowd, and the black dragon robe flashed in front of her eyes. No one in the hall dared not bow down to the emperor, including the concubine who arrived first.

After a while, only the emperor said: "Everyone is in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After kowtowing again, Zeng Rou dared to get up.

She had seen the emperor before, and Zeng Rou glanced in the direction of the empress dowager who was sitting next to the emperor. Sitting in the empress dowager's seat was an old lady in her 80s with gray hair and wrinkled face. She was the only one with a face. People with relaxed smiles.

The son is the emperor, and the emperor is very filial to her, so the empress dowager lives a very comfortable life.

According to Zeng Rou's understanding, the current emperor has helped the empress dowager fight for favor since he was a child... The happy life of the empress dowager proved one point, raising a good son is a hundred times better than a husband.

Following the emperor's speech encouraging the officials, the people in the hall exchanged cups, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The emperor smiled all over his face, sometimes enjoying the singing and dancing, and sometimes talking and laughing with the empress dowager or empress in time with the dance. On such an important occasion as the night banquet, the emperor seldom loved a certain concubine, and only the empress could get close to him.

"Mr. Dingguo."

"The minister is here."

Liu Fei was summoned by the emperor, and the emperor poured a cup of jade wine for Duke Ding himself, and said with a smile: "Drink it, and I will give you wine."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duke Ding drank the jade wine that the emperor handed over, and when he was about to leave, the emperor said: "You don't respect me?"

Zeng Rou blinked, what is the situation?

Duke Ding is already at the age of Wang Liu, and his figure is still tall and vigorous. When he was young, he fought for the emperor and made great contributions... Zeng Rou concluded that Duke Ding held an unusual position in the eyes of the emperor.

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "The concubine also wants to offer a glass of wine to the elder brother, I wonder if it is possible?"

The emperor rubbed his wine glass, and his eyes fell on the dancing singer, seemingly turning a deaf ear to it.

Zeng Rou quietly looked at Concubine Shu, seeing the sarcasm on Concubine Shu's lips, Zeng Rou understood that the noble concubine was too anxious, she was in a hurry to tie Prince Rui and Duke Ding together... If the emperor sincerely treats Duke Ding, he will never He will not let Duke Ding and Prince Rui get mixed up.

Liu Fei saluted the noble concubine respectfully, "I dare not be called your master's brother."

The noble concubine said: "Your majesty, I have heard that Duke Ding's beloved girl dances very well. How about letting her dance for His Majesty? I have seen her two days ago and I like her very much."

The emperor curled his lips, "I'm not against my concubine's request, it's just..."

"Where is the right governor and censor?"

"The minister is here."

Zhuge Yushi hurriedly got up and knelt in the middle, kowtowed and said: "I listen to the hadith."

This is the paper censor?Zeng Rou couldn't understand the emperor's intention of calling him, did she want to make the paperless censor come forward to oppose Liu Fei's beloved daughter supporting Prince Rui?

Because of the imperial concubine's invitation, all the princes held their breaths and concentrated. Prince Cheng held the wine glass tightly, and the imperial concubine made a move!He shouldn't have suppressed Zeng Xiaoqiang so quickly... Wouldn't it be better to kill him after using Zeng Xiaoqiang?More hatred?
Why did Shang Wan take action?

Although the noble concubine was a little impatient, she proposed at the banquet... Even if the emperor was not happy, for the sake of Ding Guogong, the emperor would not refuse it too clearly. What if... the emperor's heart softened for a while and the noble concubine was granted?
Prince Cheng let out a sigh of relief, if Liu Fei stood behind Prince Rui, he would no longer be merciful to Liu Fei's men, Liu Fei would, Prince Cheng knew very well.

"Has your son Zhuge Yun arrived?"

Zhuge Yun?Zeng Rou suppressed her heart that was about to jump out, is she crazy?Or someone with the same name?

"My minister Zhuge Yun pays his respects to His Majesty."

Among the honorable officials in official robes, Zhuge Yun's clothes are better than snow, he can be called an outlier.

Zhuge Yun was the youngest candidate in the Jin Dynasty, but he did not continue the imperial examination after he was 12 years old. It was not because of filial piety, nor because he was unsure, but because he... disdained the imperial examination.

The emperor's eyes locked on the very handsome Zhuge Yun, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Zhuge Yun, you are so famous, I have been waiting for you to be the champion since ten years ago, until today... this is the first time I meet you."

"The minister has little talent and learning, and dare not bother the emperor to worry about him."

"I don't believe what you say."

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth became heavier and heavier, "I don't believe that the talented people praised by the world are superficial, but I will also test you today."

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question."

"If your answer satisfies me, I will reward you generously."

Before answering the question, let's talk about the reward first, Zeng Rou looked away from Zhuge Yun with difficulty, what kind of trouble is the emperor going to do?Could it be that the emperor valued the handsome man Zhuge Yun?
The emperor raised his voice, "At the request of the noble concubine, I ordered Liu Fei's beloved daughter to perform a dance... At the same time, I ordered you Zhuge Yun to compose a poem in seven steps after Dingguo's beloved daughter performed a dance, in praise of Dingguo's beloved daughter. dancing."

Prince Cheng let go of the wine glass he was clenched tightly. His father intends to fulfill Zhuge Yun and Liu Fei's beloved daughter?
Prince Cheng was happy to see this change. Prince Rui's face turned pale, and he felt more resentment towards Zhuge Yun... He ruined his own arrangement.

Zhuge Yun said loudly: "I follow your majesty's will and compose poems in court. However, your majesty, I don't dance for He Dingguo's beloved daughter. The love poems I write are only for my beloved wife..."

The emperor frowned, his smile gradually disappeared, Zhuge Yushi's legs were a little weak in fright, son, how dare you speak!Dingguo's beloved daughter can still wrong you, can't you?
At this time, the queen said, "Your Majesty, poets and poets are all passionate and love each other based on the scene. If the talented Zhuge is moved by Yi'er's dance, it will not be too late for you to give an order of kindness. If there is no chance for each other... the twisted melon is not sweet." , Zhuge Yun is a well-known talent in the world, and Yier is the niece of the concubine's family, so it would not be good to treat anyone badly."

"Okay, I will follow what the queen said."

The emperor's expression didn't improve, and he stared at Zhuge Yun, "It's too much to underestimate you to complete a poem in seven steps. I order you to complete a poem in three steps."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhuge Yun took the order gracefully, and knelt beside Duke Ding, where he could see the dance most clearly... The emperor glanced at Liu Fei and Zhuge Yun, and smiled playfully, "Duke Ding, come here and hold the lamp for me."

"According to the order."

Liu Fei got up and sat beside the emperor.

Zeng Rou's eyes narrowed slightly, and she always felt that there was something wrong with her, what exactly was it?Why did the emperor break up Liu Fei and Zhuge Yun?
There is a lot of fog... Zeng Rou is looking for Prince Cheng, maybe the rebirth duo will reveal some clues.

Prince Cheng was still cold, proud and dull. Zeng Rou couldn't tell what was going on in him, and then turned to look at Shang Wan... Well, Shang Wan seemed very angry, her beautiful eyes were like flames, could it be that she was very angry with Zhuge Yun... …

If Shang Wan valued Zhuge Yun, then Zeng Rou could know that Zhuge Yun was rich and peaceful in his previous life.

Dingguo Gong's beloved daughter Liu Yi dances gracefully. She has a light figure, and when she spins, she dances like a butterfly... Zeng Rou is not in the mood to appreciate her dance, and can't help but look at Zhuge Yun frequently. Is he crazy?

However, a madman can't write poetry.

After the dance was over, Liu Yi knelt down slowly, Zhuge Yun got up and took one step, two steps, three steps, then clasped his hands and recited a poem to the emperor... Zeng Rou looked at his face with a flying expression, no, he Not crazy.

After the emperor finished listening to the poem, he stared at Zhuge Yun and said slowly: "Very well, your talent is the best in the literary world. I will reward you with the title of duke and confer on Zhuge Yun the Duke of Wen. I will let you take care of your marriage." idea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhuge Yun knelt down to thank him.

Can a poem seal Wen Guogong?Everyone was envious of Zhuge Yun, except Prince Cheng and Shang Wan... After all, although the events in front of them happened at different times from their previous lives, they had all experienced it, so they were calmer than others.

The marriage of Duke Dingguo's beloved daughter was never mentioned again.

Zeng Rou drank a few sips of tea, and when she had just calmed down that Zhuge Yun was not the person she was thinking of, she saw a servant running to the emperor's side and whispered something, the emperor was shocked and said, "Prince Rui is arguing with Zhuge Yun?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor flicked his dragon robe, "Bring the two of them up, and I will interrogate them myself."

"According to the order."

Prince Rui came up to the hall. Although his facial features were slightly bruised, his life was not in danger, but Wen Guogong Zhuge Yun, who had just been canonized by the emperor, was carried up on a stretcher...

Zeng Rou barely controlled her body, Zhuge Yun's face was very pale, and his breath was weak... It looked like he was dying.
