His Majesty And Ministers

Jing Ye returned to the palace after the morning court, and Ye Mao ordered the palace people to bring tea and fruit snacks, saying: "This is the snack that Mr. Lu prepared for His Majesty. He said it is a new trick. Your Majesty, try it and it will be delicious."

Jing Ye sat down and said, "What about others?"

Ye Mao thought about it and said: "Someone from outside the palace sent an invitation, Mr. Lu was invited out of the palace to enjoy the peach blossoms."

Jing Ye said: "Peach blossoms? Peach blossoms are not as good-looking as beauties, right?"

Ye Mao said with a sneer: "It turns out that His Majesty already knew about it."

Jing Ye looked at him, snorted and said, "It's not a shameful thing in the first place, what are you avoiding? Since he likes to see peach blossom beauties, let him be the selection officer this time, and choose a few more virtuous concubines for me. "

Ye Mao broke out in a cold sweat, His Majesty must be upset for something.This morning, the court discussed matters. The flood in the south sent people, and the northwest frontier defense also had regulations, and there is... oh, the spies came to report that Xirong invaded Wuhuan from the north. On the way.

In fact, Jing Ye is just very unbalanced, he spends every day grading papers in the imperial study, and this and that are troublesome, but Lu Baizang sees that the world is idle, and he still has to toss about at night.

How dare God be more unfair!

Mr. Lu, who was chatting and laughing with the beauty Yan Yan in Ronghua Pavilion, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his hand shaking the folding fan slowed down a beat. Lin Min asked, "Master?"

Lu Baizang came back to his senses, closed his fan and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is both talented and beautiful, she will definitely be favored by the emperor, honored and favored, I don't know how many people will envy her."

Lin Min smiled, but the faint depression in his eyes was not noticeable.

"Villa Master Lu is the king's kindest person, and I hope that you will look at the widow's face and speak a few words of kindness for the little girl in front of the Holy One."

Feng came over, shaking his face fan, slightly bowed his knees to Lu Baizang, and said with a smile.

Lu Baizang replied, "Naturally."

Feng Shi nodded and said: "The concubine still has to take the little girl to visit the adults, so I can't accompany you."

Lu Baizang held up his fan and said, "Madam will go first, no problem."

Feng turned around with a smile, glanced at Lin Min, and led her away.

Lu Baizang squinted to see the mother and daughter walking away, and suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Hello!"

He turned around, only to see that the other party was wearing a light yellow shirt, with a little makeup on, and lively eyebrows and eyes, it wasn't Gu Mei, the youngest daughter of the Gu family.

Lu Baizang clicked his tongue and said, "Who is 'Hello'? Thanks to the fact that you were born into a poet's family as a young lady, you are presumptuous, which man would you like?"

Gu Mei said bitterly: "I'm mine, what do you want a man to think? But you, who are already the Holy One, are still so promiscuous and attract bees and butterflies. Aren't you afraid that the Holy One will be angry?"

Lu Baizang's peach-blossom eyes slightly curled up, and he said with a smile, "Your Majesty is not a jealous person."

Gu Mei was so angry that she vomited blood.If she was born in modern times, she would understand that this kind of behavior has caused countless single dogs to hate, and the professional name is "show affection".

"You are too lazy to talk to you!" Gu Mei angrily walked back to Yang Yuying, who asked, "Why did you come back after just saying a few words?"

Gu Mei pursed her lips and remained silent.She walked around with her elder brothers, and she always spoke bluntly, but when she was in front of a man who was attracted to her, she always had a little bit of hypocrisy as a younger daughter.

It's a pity that the other party finally has a master, or a king above ten thousand people. No one knew about the awkward thoughts of those little daughters' families before, and there will never be any more in the future.

After the flower banquet in Ronghua Pavilion, the painter presented to the palace the portraits of ladies drawn that day, as well as the descriptions of ladies selected by nobles and gentry from all over the country. Together for the emperor's selection.

Jing Ye's eyes were tired from looking at the painting, so he finally threw it to Gu Hong and the others for consideration.

Lu Baizang said: "Hey, the daughter of the prefect Duan's family, who is an embroiderer, knows books... What's the use of reciting poems and writing? No."

"The second daughter of Song Xuetai, she has excellent cooking skills, especially good at making soup... Your Majesty doesn't like soup, don't want it."

Jing Ye leaned on the soft couch to rest, hearing the black line, who said I don't like soup?

Gu Hong didn't look at the paintings at all, but only picked the background of the beautiful girl and the nominations of the ministers.

Jing Ye casually glanced at it: "Hey, how did you choose this one?"

Gu Hongdao: "This girl surnamed Yu is a beautiful woman. Her father was born as a Jinshi in two lists, and her mother was the direct descendant of the Taizu who was appointed King Pingyang, so she has a noble status."

Jing Ye said: "But she...she looks a little..."

Lin Xiaosheng took the roster, glanced at each page, and wiped out most of it with one stroke.

Jing Ye said, "How did you choose this?"

Lin Xiaosheng said: "It depends on luck."

Jing Ye: "..."

The 24 noble ladies who were selected were entered into the palace gate by the palace people.

Among them are Lin Min, the daughter of the Lin family, Gu Mei, the youngest daughter of the Gu family, and Yuying, the daughter of the Yang family.

Jing Ye didn't need to worry about these things, but on the way back from the imperial study to the dormitory in the evening, he caught a glimpse of the flowers and branches in the imperial garden tied with silks of various colors, fluttering slightly in the evening wind.

Jing Ye motioned for the carriage to pause, and asked Ye Mao, "What are these?"

Ye Mao bowed and said: "Today, all the noble ladies entered the palace, and according to the customs of the palace, a small banquet was held in the imperial garden. The flowers and branches were tied with colored silk, and it was meant as a good intention. The ladies in the palace are bored, so it's just for entertainment."

Jing Ye walked over, climbed down a branch and took a closer look, Ye Mao saw it and said: "There are often people who write some auspicious words stuck in it, hoping that their wishes will come true."

Jing Ye unwrapped the scroll and unfolded it: "Well... Lu Cong is white tonight, and the moon is the light of my hometown."

Are you homesick? Anyway, no matter how talented and beautiful you are, I will not choose you. You will go home soon.

Jing Ye explained a few more, some were missing their family members, some lamented the misery in the palace, and some wrote "Send me to Qingyun".

Jing Ye looked interesting, so he raised his head and searched among the branches, and found a section of colored silk hidden deep in the flowers and leaves. He couldn't see it if he searched carefully, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it down, and two scrolls fell to the ground.

Jing Ye picked it up and unfolded it. One volume wrote: "Treasure Fangzi."

The other volume is even more incomprehensible, writing "Xuan Ying Xu Fang Ji" and "Mountains have trees and trees have branches".

The latter sentence is still quite clear, I guess he fell in love with someone, what about the front?

When Jing Ye saw the signature, it was rare for him to recognize Gu Hong's younger sister, Gu Mei.

Jing Ye asked Ye Mao, "Have you seen this sentence?"

Ye Mao lowered his head and smiled and said, "Your knowledge is vulgar, how can you recognize this? If Your Majesty wants to find out, I'm afraid you will have to call a scholar to ask, or I will go to the library in the palace to look for it?"

Jing Ye didn't go to Zangshu Pavilion very often, so it was okay to take a walk as he was approaching the lantern, so he said, "Then look for it."

When the chariot arrived at Zangshu Pavilion, Jing Ye ordered the palace guards to stay outside, and he and Ye Mao went in.

Entering the door, I saw rows of bookshelves almost two people high, and the palace officials in charge of the library brought wooden ladders.Ye Mao said: "Your Majesty, please wait here for a while, and I will take someone to look for it."

Jing Ye nodded, watched Ye Mao and the two go in, picked up a copy of "Historical Records" from the small table nearby, and looked through it. Fine and dense, but strong bones and muscles, a gentleman's demeanor.

Seeing Sun Ruhuai, the last general of the former dynasty, fought in Tongzhou, the side note reads: "There is a saying in medical books: If the disease is not cured, the disease will not be cured, and if the disease is not cured, the disease will not be cured.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

When Jing Ye came back to his senses, he saw someone kneeling by the door with a lantern beside him.

Jing Ye saw his appearance clearly through the light, and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Feng Ling?"

The other party was silent for a while and said: "The minister is on duty in the Cangshu Pavilion today, and accidentally took the book in the pavilion as his own, so he folded it back and returned it, which disturbed Shengjia. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Jing Ye looked at the book in his hand, walked over a few steps, and said, "Is this yours?"

Feng Ling looked up and said: "It's the book from the minister, thank you Your Majesty for returning it."

He was about to take it over, but Jing Ye stepped back and said, "You wrote all the notes on it?"

Feng Ling looked up at him and said, "...Yes."

Jing Ye looked at the "Historical Records", then at the young man kneeling in front of him, and suddenly sighed, "Perhaps it was a shame that I put you in the Imperial Academy."

This person has never needed his protection. A gentleman is like a bamboo, the wind and rain are like darkness, and he has his own way of growth.

Feng Ling said: "Your Majesty is rich in the world, no matter where His Majesty orders the minister to go, the minister is willing."

Jing Ye looked at him silently.Ye Mao came out holding the book of poems from the previous dynasty that he had found. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help being stunned, and he still presented the book and said, "Your Majesty, I found it."

Jing Ye didn't go to see Ye Mao, he really wanted to know what Fengling was thinking: "Why?"

"Because the king's order cannot be violated, and the minister's body and mind belong to His Majesty."

The author has something to say: This kind of half-hearted pseudo-archaic writing makes the author very tired and you are tired of reading it. The next book must be written now!
