[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

In the Guanju Palace, Emperor Jialong stood with his hands behind his back. He turned his head slightly to the Zhen family behind him and said, "Your concubine, Cong'er's marriage, you can think about it. The choice of side concubine cannot be decided for the time being. Just wait a little bit. Let’s choose the Concubine Cong’er first.”

After all, Emperor Jialong left Guanju Palace.

"Respectfully send off the emperor." Zhen Shi half knelt on the ground until the figure of Emperor Jialong was completely out of sight, and her eldest maid Su Qing stood up and helped her up.

Zhen Shi turned around, picked up the white jade teacup on the table, and threw it out.

The court ladies and eunuchs in the palace knelt down instantly, and Su Qing hurriedly dissuaded her: "Your Majesty, the emperor has just left, you may cause gossip if you make too much noise here."

Zhen Shi glanced at the maids and eunuchs in the hall, snorted coldly, and walked into the inner hall with the hands of the maids close to her.

"I just briefly mentioned the matter of Ti Cong'er's side concubine, but the emperor rejected it before he finished listening." Sitting on the soft couch, Zhen Shi touched her face and asked Su Qing: "Am I really old? "

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Suqing stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Zhen Shi, "The third prince is the emperor's favorite son, and you are the emperor's favorite concubine. Please persuade me about today's matter, maybe Has the emperor changed his mind?"

Zhen put her hand on the soft armrest, shook her head and said: "The Emperor Gan Gang is arbitrary, since he rejected me, he will not change his mind, and let Lin Ruhai's daughter become Cong'er's side concubine. I can only let it go."

"You talk about pampering, what's the use of mere pampering? That old woman in Kunning Palace really made a good plan to push Jia Yuanchun, a bitch, into the ring with me."

"Your Majesty, although the one in Fengzao Palace is a noble concubine, what title do you think she got? Throughout the ages, there has never been a title like Xiande. It is neither fish nor fowl. The emperor has never been there a few times."

"But she is young." Zhen's face darkened, "She is younger than the queen and me, and this is her greatest capital. The emperor has never spoken to me in such a tone before, and it is not because I am old now. The color is fading, and the appearance is not as good as before."

Su Qing was waiting to persuade her, but Zhen interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "The one from Kunning Palace has a good plan, but unfortunately her son doesn't agree with her. She wants her niece to marry Ji Shengyan, but I don't like her. The position of concubine is still one person short, and I can't accept Lin Ruhai's daughter, so I use her niece from her natal family to make up the number."

"Empress Shengming."

"It is said that Fengzao Palace wants her younger brother to marry Lin Ruhai's daughter. I can't do it. Even if I destroy Lin Ruhai's daughter, I will definitely not let that bitch's wish come true."

Suqing walked in front of Mrs. Zhen, and said in a low voice, "Please tell me, Madam."

"Now that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the peach blossom banquet at Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is about to begin." Zhen Shi squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then leaned into Su Qing's ear and whispered: "You do this..."

After Mrs. Zhen finished speaking, Suqing took a step back: "The servants take orders, and they will definitely live up to the entrustment of the empress."

The incident at Guanju Palace did not affect the banquet at Qionglin Garden. After Emperor Jialong arrived at the palace, all civil and military officials and Xinke Scholars got up from their respective seats, lined up on both sides, and saluted him together.After Li Bi, Dai Quan, the eunuch next to Emperor Jialong, announced that the dinner party had begun.

The Qionglin Banquet was held for Xinke Scholars. Many of the attendees probably entered the palace for the first time and the last time to see the emperor. After all, not every Jinshi can stay in Beijing, and not every Jinshi’s official career is smooth sailing. , for these people, this banquet is very important, it is the best platform for them to show themselves and expand their network.

Lin Yuzhou didn't have any troubles in this regard, he sat peacefully in his seat, waiting for the court ladies and eunuchs to serve the imperial meal, but the result made him sad.

Qionglin Banquet had a lot of dishes, but it was a pity that the night in March was still very cold, and the imperial meals were served to the banquet table, and it was already too cold. Faced with these cold dishes and cold soup, Lin Yuzhou lost his appetite.

After eating some cold dishes casually, Lin Yuzhou played with the small wine glass, waiting for the banquet to end.

Because Emperor Jialong was here, everyone was very cautious at first. After three or two cups of yellow soup, some people took the courage to drink and started talking with the people around them. What they said was nothing more than their new poems and new writing Articles, in order to get the appreciation of high officials and even Emperor Jialong.

When everyone was drinking, the third prince Ji Cong who sat at the head of Ji Shengyan got up and walked in front of Lin Yuzhou. He took a glass of wine and said to Lin Yuzhou with a smile: "I heard that Lin Zhuangyuan's demeanor is outstanding. Today, I have been admiring him." Brother Lin is talented, I wonder if we can meet today?"

This is to let himself compose a poem, Lin Yuzhou got up, first drank a glass of wine with Ji Cong, then meditated for a while, and recited a poem "The Royal Gift to Qionglin Banquet and Poems".

Ji Cong's eyes lit up, and there was a burst of praise from the hall. This poem by the new top scholar did not insult his talent.

Lin Yuzhou rubbed his nose. Qiong Linyan, the new top scholar, wrote a poem, which was an unavoidable routine. This poem was inspired by the great poet Wen Tianxiang.Without his poems as a reference, facing this boring banquet and unpalatable dishes, Lin Yuzhou really couldn't write good poems, but he could write a lot of satirical poems.

As soon as Lin Yuzhou's poem was uttered, Ji Cong's words of praise appeared continuously, and the new scholars around him were extremely envious. It was beyond their imagination to be able to establish friendship with the third prince through a poem.

Emperor Jialong's laughter came, and he also praised Lin Yuzhou, and looked at Ji Cong with loving eyes, Lin Yuzhou twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a not-so-cold smile.

Ji Shengyan got up and walked to Lin Yuzhou's side, sat on his seat, gave Ji Cong a cold look, "Third brother, you should go back to your seat."

Ji Cong pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Second brother knows Yuzhou?"

Ji Shengyan didn't answer, and waved to the eunuch behind him to remove the cold dishes and soup from the table, and put some hot food on it. He pulled Lin Yuzhou's sleeve and let him sit beside him.

Emperor Jialong narrowed his eyes and said with a light smile, "Mao'er knows the champion of the new department?"

Maoer?Lin Yuzhou was taken aback, Ji Shengyan's name is Ji Mao?No wonder he has been refusing to tell himself his name, and even said that Sheng Yan is his name, hell, he didn't say it because he disliked his ugly name, isn't Ji Mao just a chicken feather?

The lingering aura spread from Ji Shengyan's body, and he replied coldly: "I met him in Jinling, he is very good."

The third prince's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he turned back to his seat.

The hall suddenly fell silent. Although Emperor Jialong didn't like Ji Shengyan, he was sure of his ability. The other sons combined were not as strong as this one. The ability of Lin Yuzhou, who was praised by him, naturally cannot be underestimated. There is an arrangement for Lin Yuzhou, and now after hearing what Ji Shengyan said, this arrangement is about to change.

What a pity, Emperor Jialong took a sip of his wine, hoping that Lin Ruhai's son would be as smart as his father and find his place in the court so that he could survive well.

The banquet was going on without embarrassment. Seeing this, the Tenth Prince got up and let Wang Jing and Tan Hua also write two poems. With his mediation, the Wenhua Palace became lively again, but the excitement was strange, as if everyone was pretending together of.

Everyone in the hall realized one thing: the emperor is old, the crown prince is an adult, and everyone needs to stand in line.

As the banquet continued, Fu Jue secretly glanced at Lin Yuzhou, and he felt a little relieved when he got his soothing eyes.

When the hot food was served on the table, Lin Yuzhou's appetite came back. After filling his stomach, he exchanged a few words with Ji Shengyan in a low voice, and the banquet came to an end.

After Emperor Jialong left, the Qionglin Banquet was over, and everyone left together. Lin Yuzhou and Lin Ruhai walked together, and the two separated at the Jinshui Bridge.

In the Prince's East Palace, Ji Shengyan is already waiting in the inner hall.

Lin Yuzhou stepped over the threshold and joked, "Brother Ji Mao, how are you?"

Ji Shengyan frowned, and pulled Lin Yuzhou's ears to tell him to shut up.

"It hurts." Lin Yuzhou waved Ji Shengyan's hand away, "Emperor Jialong's love for Ji Cong is not as deep as I imagined. I feel that he may not really want Ji Cong to inherit the throne, but more because he wants him to be with you." Play the ring."

"He has already sent someone out to search for immortals and ask questions." Ji Shengyan rubbed Lin Yuzhou's ears and said coldly.

Lin Yuzhou pushed Ji Shengyan onto the soft couch, and unceremoniously leaned on his legs and fell to the side, "The emperor wants to live forever, the real god is here, what kind of god does he look for?"

Ji Shengyan scratched Lin Yuzhou's nose, and said in a deep voice: "Jia Yuanchun named the imperial concubine, and there was a gap in the alliance between the Zhenjia family. The four kings and eight princes used to be supporters of Prince Yizhong, but after Yizhong had an accident, most of them turned against each other. Under Emperor Jialong's command, except for King Beijing and King Dong'an, who has been keeping a low profile, everyone else is a royalist."

Lin Yuzhou turned sideways, propped his head and said, "Emperor Jialong is getting old, and the royalist party is about to start a new round of political investment. He is in a hurry. Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine is a way for him to win over veteran officials, and it is also a different kind of warning for them."

Ji Shengyan nodded: "The king of Nan'an has always supported the third prince, and the king of Xining is a supporter of Emperor Jialong on the surface, but he is actually close to Prince Zhongshun. Their plan is about to start."

"Everyone who becomes an emperor is lonely." Lin Yuzhou stood up, and he will talk about the affairs in the court later. Now he is going to start "invoking the teacher to inquire about the crime": "You talk to my father about our affairs, why don't you tell me?"

Thinking about Lin Yuzhou's temper, Ji Shengyan locked him in his arms before replying, "If you know how to try, I don't want you to worry."

Lin Yuzhou's hand was grabbed by Ji Shengyan, he struggled, but he rolled his eyes when he didn't break free, "Can you be more perfunctory in your answer?"

Ji Shengyan was silent. To him, confessing to Lin Ruhai about his relationship with Lin Yuzhou was not a big deal at all. He was sure to convince Lin Ruhai that if Lin Yuzhou was allowed to speak, a beating would be inevitable. Why should he suffer this crime?

Just looking at Ji Shengyan's expression, Lin Yuzhou can guess his thoughts pretty well. If Ji Shengyan doesn't want to stand in front of him in everything, what he can't do is what he says, what he can't do in the world of reincarnation, He wants to do it in this world of Red Mansions.
