Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

Xiaopingzi inquired about the news very quickly, and brought back the exact information to Rong Qi in a short while.It turned out that there was a poetry competition in the west of the city, and it was said that the winner would get a handwritten Fu on Changle by Sun Daru.

Sun Daru is a well-known artist in the world, he is good at poetry and poetry, and he is good at Qin and painting. A casual song is the sound of the beam, and a random painting is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.Poetry is the existence of being sung by others.It can be said that Sun Daru's attainments in literature and art are among the best in the world!

Speaking of which, this Sun Daru is still the teacher of the original owner.

Xiao Pingzi carefully stood in front of Rong Qi, fearing that he would be bumped into.

Rong Qi pondered for a while, then said: "Since it's a poetry competition, let's go and see the excitement."

Xiao Pingzi went to the west of the city with Rong Qi with a sad face. At that time, the Poetry Competition had not officially started, but the students had already begun to brew their emotions, and they planned to show their talents at the Poetry Competition.

Rong Qi and Xiao Pingzi were hidden in the crowd, looking at the students who had stepped onto the high platform. These students had studied hard for ten years and were preparing to take the imperial examinations to serve the country in two months. The Poetry Competition was just the starting point for their success , if they can use this to become famous, it will naturally be of infinite benefit to their future.

Rong Qi remembered that Rong An was the leader of the previous poetry competitions, and the poems made by Rong An were widely sung, such as drawing a knife to cut off the water, and raising a glass to relieve sorrow and sorrow.For another example, a confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world.For another example, count the romantic figures, but also look at the present.Nung, moon and new moon.And obviously there are wives and concubines in groups, but they are born to be a couple for a lifetime, half drunk, half awake and half buoyant.

However, the styles of these poems are changeable, and it does not seem to be written by one person at all.

Rong An, a prince who was born and raised in the imperial capital, wears brocade clothes and jade robes, and eats delicacies from mountains and seas, where did he get so much melancholy?

Rong Qi, who has read the original book, knows that Rong An, like him, is also an outsider who has resurrected his soul. In his previous life, Rong An was an otaku with ambitions, but he had no chance to display them.In fact, it is not entirely true, because Rong An's so-called talents are all classics passed down in his time, and they are masterpieces of the ancients that scholars will memorize.

Therefore, Rong An is a complete plagiarist, the honor and reputation he has now should not belong to him!

Rong Qi frowned slightly, since it was plagiarism, he knew very little about the original author's mood and thoughts when he wrote the poem and lyrics.So, does that mean...

Rong Qi recalled that there were some poems recorded in the back part of the book, some poems that were often embezzled by the house snatchers of later generations!

Maybe, Rong An is easier to deal with than expected!

In the words of the origin, even if he does not do it, he will die, and he will die by himself without the help of others.

While Rong Qi was thinking about how to deal with Rong An in the simplest way, the Poetry Contest had already begun. A classic sentence.

In the end, the winner of the Poetry Contest was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a gray and white gown. When he received the Changle Fu written by Sun Daru himself, he almost wept with joy.

After watching the Poetry Competition, Rong Qi took another deep look at the winner, then turned and left: "Go back."

Xiao Pingzi said: "My servant heard that this person was present in the previous poetry competitions, but his luck was not very good. Every time he met the Third Highness, he missed the position of leader. This time he can be regarded as the leader , is really gratifying."

Rong Qi said with a smile: "People will still say that he is not as good as the Third Highness, because the Third Highness did not participate when he won the leader, so people will think that if the Third Highness also participates in the Poetry Competition, the position of the leader will be too high." It's nothing to do with him, it's pure luck."

Xiaopingzi scratched his hair, a little puzzled: "It's so troublesome."

Rong Qi didn't continue to explain to Xiao Pingzi, and went back to the Hou Mansion leisurely all the way.

As soon as Rong Qi took Xiao Pingzi to the main courtyard where he lived, he heard a woman's yelling, Rong Qi tilted his head to look at Xiao Pingzi, Xiao Pingzi bit his head and said: "It should be Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Jiao, and Yun Ma'am and them."

After thinking about it for a while, Rong Qi knew the identity of the so-called wives that Xiao Pingzi said. The wives in the courtyard were concubines of the original owner, had children, and were more favored.

As long as Rong Qi thinks that he has a wife and concubine and a group of children, the corners of Rong Qi's mouth will twitch uncontrollably. He has lived for more than three hundred years, but he doesn't even have a person who makes his heart flutter!

"What are they here for?" Rong Qi didn't rush in, and asked with a far-reaching glance at the inner courtyard.

Xiao Pingzi thought for a while and said: "There are still three days until His Majesty's birthday. In the past, several wives were able to attend His Majesty's birthday with Lord Hou, but this year is different."

Hearing Xiao Pingzi's words, Rong Qi also remembered that his current identity is only Ping Kanghou, and he can bring into the palace on the emperor's birthday, except for his wife Li, a pair of direct children, and only two children. The famous concubine waited on him personally.

Rong Qi thought about it carefully, since he woke up, he didn't see any other wives and concubines except his wife Li Shi: "During these days, has anyone visited the main courtyard?"

Xiao Pingzi said: "Only Mrs. Yun brought the third young master here."

"Then let her go." Rong Qi said.

Xiaopingzi hurriedly responded respectfully.

Just as Rong Qi stepped into the yard, the group of gorgeously dressed women rushed up like bees seeing honey. The sound of the jewels and jewelry on their bodies colliding made his ears ring, and the sweet smell of their heavy make-up made his nostrils ache. itch.

Rong Qi walked out of the center surrounded by women unbearably disturbed, and said in a cold voice: "Madams, are you here at Benhou's courtyard for something?"

Mrs. Jiao, who was once more favored, saluted weakly and said: "Master Hou, it's like this. Seeing that His Majesty's birthday is approaching, the concubines want to come over and ask Master Hou to see if there is anything that the concubines need." prepare."

"Nothing." Rong Qi said lightly: "Nothing else, just go back to your yard!"

Madam Ru said: "Master Hou, on the day of Your Majesty's birthday, do you need concubines to serve Master Hou and Madam?"

Rong Qi squinted his eyes, his eyes slowly swept across the concubines, and said softly: "You all think so?"

Several concubines bowed their heads and remained silent, Rong Qi casually smiled and said: "Since ladies feel that my marquis' mansion is not easy to treat, then let's not wait any longer! Xiaopingzi, go to your ladies' natal homes to inform them that it is Madam I miss their relatives and want to go back to my mother’s house.”

The faces of the concubines turned pale in an instant. When they were the prince's side concubines, they still had status to speak of. As the concubines of Lord Hou, they were really just unworthy concubines.How could they hold their heads up when they were sent back to their natal family by the Hou Mansion?

Several concubines knelt on the ground with pale faces, begging Rong Qi's forgiveness.

Rong Qi walked away without looking sideways, and the concubines put their hopeful eyes on Xiao Pingzi again. Xiao Pingzi stomped his feet and said: "Madams, let's go back to the yard first, I don't know when Lord Hou will leave." Calm down, forget about it."

Several concubines got up in a hurry, and even stuffed some of the gold and silver they carried with them to Xiaopingzi, and asked Xiaopingzi to say a few good words for them.

Xiao Pingzi sighed slightly, even if Lord Hou felt chilled by the actions of the wives, he would never punish them by abandoning them, because they are all the mothers of his children.

Xiao Pingzi glanced at the backs of the ladies, shook his head, and trotted after Rong Qi.

Two days before Emperor Xuan's birthday, the steward of the Hou Mansion brought the gift list to Rong Qi to have a look. Although Rong Qi had the memory of the original owner, he didn't know how to choose the congratulatory gift, so he asked him to follow the general Hou Mansion's gift list.However, Rong Qi could roughly guess that no matter how he followed the ceremony this time, he would be a joke on the emperor's birthday.

On the day of Emperor Chenxuan's birthday, Rong Qi and Li Shi took Rong Yang and Rong Yue to the palace early in the carriage, because courtiers' carriages were not allowed to enter the palace gate, they had to be in front of the palace gate. Then get out of the car and walk into the palace.

Along the way, Rong Qi met many former colleagues who were more or less alienated from his family, and some of them left quietly without even saying hello.

Rong Qi didn't care about this, the birthday of Emperor Chenxuan was held in Chengde Hall, and ordinary courtiers would go to the Imperial Garden to pass the time after they arrived, and Rong Qi was no exception.

While Rong Qi was sitting in the gazebo to pass the extra time, Fu An beside the queen found Rong Qi: "This old slave has seen Lord Hou, madam, young master, and young miss. Lord Hou, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Rong Qi nodded slightly, explained a few words to Mrs. Li, and followed Fu'an to the Queen's Hekun Palace.

When Rong Qi arrived, the queen was walking back and forth anxiously in the bedroom, asking the maid who was close to her from time to time if she was not in good spirits, and from time to time asking them if the snacks she had prepared for Rong Qi were enough. After the answer, the queen was slightly relieved.

Rong Qi was directly brought into the queen's bedroom by Fu'an, so Rong Qi took all the anxious side of the queen into his eyes.

When he saw the empress's haggard and tired face, Rong Qi finally understood why the original owner only cared about his mother and brother, but not his children, because his children would never treat him wholeheartedly like the empress.

"The son has met his mother." Rong Qi walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee.

The empress was stunned for a moment, then immediately reprimanded the servants, blinked her eyes, tears burst out immediately, she helped Rong Qi up with her own hands, touched his face and said: "My son is suffering, he has lost weight."

Rong Qi comforted the queen for a while, and the queen calmed down her sad emotions, and started talking to Rong Qi: "Qi'er, don't worry, the queen mother will not let anyone who murdered you go, and the queen mother will definitely make them pay the price." .”

Because the opportunity to enter the palace is rare, Rong Qi also took the lead in talking about serious matters with the queen: "Mother, I don't mind, I just have one thing, I want to ask mother's opinion."

The queen said: "You say."

Rong Qi lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Is your mother aware of Er and Rong Ming's plan?"

The empress expressed concern: "Ming'er has already told the empress mother, but Qi'er, you..."

"I'm fine, but I don't want to see this country fall into the hands of villains, and I don't want my mother and Rong Ming to be left alone in the wind and rain, so I support and help Rong Ming fight for that position. What I want to ask now is, mother Do you still have feelings for your father?" Rong Qi asked.
