The whole heaven is watching Lao Tzu fall in love [Red Mansion]

The new maid next to Zhaoning is a very delicate girl, not very old, her eyes are like a pool of spring water, gurgling with vitality, she looks very pure.She led Jia Lang all the way into the imperial study, and played softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia has arrived."

The queen sitting behind the dragon table raised her head. After ascending the supreme throne, she became more and more heroic. When she looked up, she seemed to be able to see everything clearly.She rubbed her forehead with her fingertips, and said, "Little Jia Aiqing, sit down first."

The little palace maid moved a small stool carved with peony hollow patterns, and then quietly retreated.Zhaoning then smiled and said: "My son is almost becoming your son. He runs to the Beijing Palace every day, but he can't be stopped. Little Jia Aiqing, look, why don't we marry a child?"

"That's not allowed." Without thinking, Jia Lang straightened his back like an electric shock, and refused righteously, "My little Jiu is free, and she can be with whoever she likes." , there is no reason to be bound by other beasts now."

"Really stop thinking about it?"

Zhaoning's expression was rather regretful, obviously feeling very disappointed that he had not been able to abduct his daughter-in-law home for his son.She thought about how her son was clinging to the little panda, and decided to try harder, "They are all divine beasts, and they grew up in one place. Isn't it much better than other beasts who don't know the details? If the time comes When an egg comes out, it must be a very cute—”

Jia Lang: ...

Zhaoning is still trying to persuade him: "I will let my son obey your son! Never let him look at other beasts, and he will put all his heart on your son. If he takes a look, see if I won't let Baize Beat it to pieces!"

Jia Lang: ...

Your Majesty, you signed such a humiliating treaty, does your son know?

[Tut tut tut,] Taishang Laojun gnawed on the elixir and sighed, [This is how I want to marry someone back home. 】

【That little guy is really cute, but I'm afraid Xiao Lang won't like it...】

[Of course I don't want to! 】The Queen Mother said angrily, 【Thinking back when I betrothed the Weaver Girl to the mortal man who herded cattle, I don’t know how uncomfortable it was—the granddaughter who was raised by the Palace with so much love, never did any heavy work except weaving. did.Now she wants to marry someone else's family for nothing, if it weren't for the deep love between the two of them, this palace would have been blasted by thunder long ago! 】

Cowherd shuddered on the far side of the Milky Way, and suddenly he was extremely grateful that he was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe.

The attempted marriage failed, and the queen was very disappointed.She pursed her lips tightly, sighed softly, and said listlessly: "Then let's get down to business."

We were supposed to talk about business!

Jia Lang's heart almost roared.

"As early as the reign of the Supreme Emperor, there was a saying that women should also enter the court as officials, but the Supreme Emperor did not care about it that day, coupled with the fierce opposition from the ministers in the court, in the end it had to be let go." Zhao Ning mused , Re-opening the memorial of the day, "It is not difficult to bring up the old things now, but how to convince those stubborn old people with elm heads—"

"My minister has some ideas," Jia Lang said, "Your Majesty, please listen."

Zhaoning nodded, "Say it quickly."

Jia Lang spoke to her in a soft voice, Zhao Ning Long was overjoyed and applauded repeatedly.

"That's right, it's just a group of people who are afraid of death. Could it be that they can't deal with this matter well?" When she took the case of the dragon, her face was filled with joy, "Now this palace has been in charge of the government for half a year. Chaotang held it in the palm of his hand. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, tomorrow!"

Jia Lang smiled and said, "It's just that before that, we must find a few people to cooperate."

"What's so difficult about this?" Zhao Ning stroked his palm, "When I was still in my boudoir, I used to come to meet talented women in the capital through poetry gatherings. Several of them were talented, and they all had poems and books in their stomachs. It's a word of mouth. Now just call them, there is no reason why things won't work."

Now that she had made up her mind, she immediately asked people to talk to the ladies who were outstanding that day.Among them, Daiyu is even more coquettish and chic, and also her best friend, so she naturally bears the brunt of it.Daiyu accepted the instruction, read it, and said with a smile: "Speaking of this kind of strange woman, I have a candidate here. I stayed at my uncle's house temporarily, and I saw a sister in Xue's family. She is also knowledgeable, intelligent and intelligent. It is the most suitable one." .”

The little eunuch who sent the message came back and reported it to Zhaoning. When Jia Lang heard it, he knew it was Xue Baochai, and for a moment he couldn't help but admire Daiyu secretly in his heart.In this life, Baochai and Daiyu had never been on friendly terms, and when Baochai had never given up on Baoyu before, she had never been less secretive.It's just that now, faced with such an opportunity to show off in front of the queen, Daiyu abandoned the past suspicions, only looked at talent, and won Baochai without hesitation, which is really admirable.It can be seen that Daiyu has never been as narrow-minded and withdrawn as those red scholars in later generations said.

So far, everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow.Jia Lang couldn't sleep well that night, all he could think about was how to tear up those ministers who were full of ancestral teachings in the court, and he was so excited.In the end, King Bei Jing, who couldn't stand it any longer, pressed him tighter into his arms, and gave him a hypnotism, which successfully calmed down the young man who had been moving around in his arms.

On the table in front of the bed, two red candles were burning quietly, reflecting the dim candlelight in the room.The candle tears that flowed down slowly gathered in one place, embracing each other softly regardless of each other.

The civil and military ministers who went to court on the second day felt that something was wrong.When they stepped into the Chaoying Hall, where they usually go to court, they saw twelve large screens standing on the court. On the screens, various flowers and flowers were carefully painted, with elegant colors, and a few lines of poems were embroidered with black thread beside them. .The wording is also very unique, causing everyone to watch and appreciate it.

A civil servant said: "This sentence 'Three points of the pistil is stolen, and the soul of the plum blossom is borrowed' is really admirable, but I don't know where I want to come here!"

Most of the literati love this sentence, romantic and lingering, it is the chants of literati and poets, and they all agree with it.

"We don't quite understand that kind of literary stuff," said the military officers, "it's too tactful. According to me, this sentence, 'Benefiting from the wind, sent me to Qingyun' was translated with great effort. I also think it is a good sentence with a lot of pride."

Everyone clicked on their favorite poems, and they only felt that the sentences were not bad, and each of them had something worthy of admiration.I just don't know which new talented person did it, but I have never heard of it before. If it spreads to the ears of the world, it will definitely be able to transcribe the famous works of celebrities through the ages on paper.

They were talking endlessly, but they saw the queen slowly coming in under the guidance of the eunuch.A luxurious bright yellow court dress shines brightly in this slightly gloomy court hall, but the dragon embroidered on it has become a fire phoenix with wings spread specially made for the queen.Every feather is vivid, and the phoenix flaps its wings, as if it will fly out of the clothes in the next second.

Many ministers standing in the court recalled the appearance of the phoenix waving its wings behind the empress back then, and couldn't help swallowing for a while, and when they looked at Zhaoning again, they were even more in awe: "See Your Majesty."

"Stay flat." Zhaoning waved his hand.The crown on her head hung down and the dangling beads hid half of her heroic face under the bead curtain.It seems that no matter what kind of person, as long as he sits on this throne, he will have the ability to guess his emotions a little more out of thin air, and hide all his emotions and sorrows under this high position. Just an unchanging mask.

All the ministers got up, still pondering in their minds what kind of trick the emperor was playing - placing a screen in the court, this is an unheard of thing!

They thought about it for a long time, but still had no idea.While trying to guess the Queen's thoughts from the position of the Queen's skirt today, she listened to Zhaoning on the throne and spoke slowly.

"Looking at this screen, gentlemen, what do you think of the poems on it?"

All the ministers looked at each other, and finally Wei Hanlin, the leader of the literati, took a step forward and said loudly: "These sentences are really talented, and the person who wrote these sentences must also be a well-educated person. I have benefited a lot from reading them."

The queen hummed casually, her eyes darkened, and she asked with a slight smile: "Then, gentlemen, if the person who wrote this poem was recruited into the court as an official, what do you think?"

"Looking at his poems, you can know his character," Wei Hanlin said to him. "If he is really a learned man, he will be a blessing to the people if he enters the court and becomes an official."

Zhaoning's gaze turned, and he scanned the crowd of people in the crowd: "Do the other Qing families feel the same way?"

All the ministers exchanged a tacit look, thinking that this is the Queen's decision to promote a certain talented person she found—the emperors of all dynasties, which dynasty would not replace all the powerful positions in the officialdom with themselves manpower?It is commonplace, and there is nothing to be surprised about.On the contrary, Zhaoning hadn't acted like this since he succeeded to the throne, which really made them uneasy for a long time.

Now that it finally came, they breathed a sigh of relief.So they all folded their hands one after another and replied, "I don't dare to object."

"That's really great." A smile suddenly appeared on the Queen's face, as if a peony had just bloomed, and the smile was extremely joyful.She tapped on the armrest twice with her fingers, and said, "In that case, let them come out and meet with you gentlemen."

The ministers all turned around, still guessing in their hearts that this must be a young and handsome talent to win the queen's favor.Unexpectedly, what came in was a row of young women wearing extremely bright and charming dresses, each of them was dressed very elegantly, and the skirts were scattered on the white jade stone steps, like blooming flowers.The petals opened one by one during the light movement of the lotus steps, revealing the tender stamens, which brightened the originally dark hall.

All the ministers opened their mouths wide open in disbelief.

...Wait, wait, this seems a bit different from what you said!

If it wasn't for my eye problems or for them wearing women's clothing... then this style of painting is obviously not right!

The author has something to say: Minister: I seem to have been deceived.
