His Majesty And Ministers

After Feng Ling finished speaking, she put the book back on the shelf, and then left.

at this point.Jing Ye mentioned the corner lamp on the ground, that's all.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

After returning to the palace for dinner, he opened the collection of poems and found that long poem, titled "Xuanpu Talk", written by a master in the previous dynasty, the first line is "Baizang Qi is gone, Xuanying's preface is here".

Five days after the noble ladies entered the palace, a banquet was held in Weiyang Palace, and the emperor came in person to test the appearance and virtue of all the noble ladies.

Jing Ye sat at the top, looked at the girls sitting down in order and bowed their heads, and looked up at Ye Mao.

The latter understood, turned around and said to the people in the next seat: "You ladies have been in the palace for several days, and the palace people who are in charge of teaching must have taken you to visit the imperial garden. First, there is no need to limit the rhyme, just describe the scenery in the garden."

Everyone was born in a family of scholars, and they were familiar with the Four Books of Women's Precepts since childhood, so it was not a problem to write a poem.But the problem is that this poem is to be presented to the emperor, so it’s not good to write it with resentment, it’s not good to be too happy, it’s not good to use too colorful words, it’s not good to be too dull, so I feel panicked and don’t know what to do. response.

Jing Ye secretly yawned. He doesn't know how to compose poetry himself, let alone watch others compose.

Before half a stick of incense arrived, the first person to get up and hand in was a noble lady in a pomegranate red diamond skirt, her movements were quick and she did not have the cautious scruples of the others.

Jing Ye stopped her with a smile and said, "Which family are you from?"

The aristocratic girl blessed her body, and Liu Hai lifted her eyes, which were full of aura, to look at Jing Ye, then lowered her eyes and said, "My maid's surname is Gu, and each name has the word Mae."

Jing Ye smiled and said, "Gu Mei? The youngest daughter of Prime Minister Gu, I often hear your elder brother mention you."

Gu Mei took another blessing and said: "My daughter... is reckless by nature, and dare not hope for His Majesty's mercy."

Jing Ye smiled and said: "Women in the palace are used to many rules and restraints, so they can't develop a temper like yours."

These words made everyone below feel tense, so the Holy One likes this kind of escape?

Gu Mei pursed her lips and said, "My daughter is terrified."

This was the first time she saw clearly the appearance of the "rival in love". It was not as hideous and terrifying as rumored before, and it was more gentle than the imagined emperor.

Lin Min was the second to submit a poem.

Compared to the pomegranate diamond skirt that Gu Mei picked out at random, Lin Min's clothes were obviously more dignified. She was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and inherited the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women, with a bit of coquettishness in her dignity.

Gradually, someone submitted manuscripts, Jing Ye casually asked some questions, and asked them to sit down.Among them was Yuying from the Yang family. Jing Ye remembered that she wrote "Treasure Fangzi" on the scroll tied in colored silk.

Afterwards, the banquet began, Jing Ye had no taste for a group of girls, so he simply asked Ye Mao to bring the poem manuscript, and went back to the palace for lunch by himself.

Gu Hong, Lin Xiaosheng and Lu Baizang were all in the hall, and the latter teased a few little guys with the prepared snacks. When he saw Jing Ye entering the hall, he got up and saluted, laughing playfully: "I thought the random flowers were charming, but Your Majesty saw more than 20 people at once. Beauty, I can't help but stay in Weiyang Palace every night for spring dinner."

Jing Ye squinted at him and said, "It's you who can't help it, why don't I bring these 24 into the palace and give you good companions."

Lu Baizang immediately said, "I didn't say that."

Jing Ye: "Hmph."

Lu Baizang was puzzled, but he hugged him and coaxed him: "Your Majesty is not happy? Yes, I am not happy to see so many female ministers..."

Jing Ye saw the phrase "Bai Zang's energy has faded", and saw Gu Mei's expression at the banquet. He was not an ignorant urchin who didn't understand the world, so he knew that this must be the fault of the flirtatious Mr. Lu.

Even if Lu Baizang didn't mean it, if it wasn't for his flirtatious habit of flirting with everyone he saw, he wouldn't have made the little girl fall in love with him.

His Majesty the Emperor began to think, was it a mistake to find such a man who left the sex everywhere and still couldn't deal with it cleanly?

Of course Lu Baizang couldn't guess what he was thinking.It's just that the sun shines in through the window, reflecting the eyes of the man in front of him. He still retains the immature eyebrows of a young man, but also has the calmness and gentleness of a mature person. Color and clothes, more and more weak.

But this kind of weakness arouses men's desire to hug and possess, at least Lu Baizang really wants to take him to bed now, and do some sports that are restricted by the emperor to only be done at night.

Master Lu was always distracted, so he turned his head with an ambiguous expression, gently sniffed Jing Ye's hair behind his ears, and said softly, "Your Majesty is tired, do you want lunch?"

Jing Ye recovered and met his eyes: "Huh?"

Lu Baizang looked at the color of his lips, the more delicious he looked, it was really...

Just when Master Lu was about to succeed, a pair of fat claws grabbed his cuffs and shook vigorously: "Dim sum!!!"

This is His Highness the Prince-to-be who has been neglected for a long time and is in urgent need of feeding, because he is so urgent that he can even pronounce correctly.

As soon as Lu Baizang failed, Gu Hong held the person in his arms and pulled him over: "Did Your Majesty bring back the poem written by the lady at the banquet?"

Jing Ye said: "You asked Ye Mao to take it, do you want to see it?"

Gu Hong laughed and said, "I want to see how Ah Mei is doing."

"Okay, let someone bring it in." Jing Ye nodded, and said to Lu Baizang, "It's time for lunch, I want to eat a lion's head."

"..."

If there is anything attractive about Master Lu to Jing Ye, it is probably this.

Resting after lunch, Gu Hong leaned on the bed and flipped through the poems, and said with a smile: "She was not good at poetry since she was a child, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't talk about it, but it was written by a noble lady, which is different from ordinary girls."

Jing Ye said, "Who is it?"

Gu Hong looked at the inscription and said: "Yang Yuying, chanting the spring willows in the imperial garden, implying the general meaning of small things, just satirizing the world is too poisonous."

Jing Ye thought for a while and asked, "How is the eldest daughter of the Lin family doing?"

Gu Hong shook his head and said, "The workmanship is too ingenious."

A few days later, the emperor issued an edict that all the noble girls, except Lin Min, the daughter of Lin's parents, should leave the palace immediately and be sent back to the family by the palace envoy.

what does that mean?It means that Lin Min, who stayed in the palace, overwhelmed all the candidates and will soon become the mother of a country. Her mother's family will become relatives of the emperor. She will enjoy the highest honor in her life, and she will be buried with the emperor after death. .

Those who came to congratulate Lin's family almost stepped on the threshold.

The Feng family was granted a first-class order by Jing Ye, and was allowed to visit her daughter in the palace before the wedding.

She asked Lin Min to retreat to the left and right, leaving only the personal servant girl brought into the palace, and then asked, "Are you happy?"

Lin Min smiled and said, "My daughter is naturally happy."

Feng Shi sneered and said, "Happy?"

Lin Min suppressed her smile, she was used to doing things according to her mother's words, and was a little at a loss for her expression.

Feng said: "As long as you don't sit in that seat for a day, there is nothing to be happy about."

Lin Min said: "Mother... You taught me the right lesson."

Feng looked at her and said, "Do you know why your father became the head of the Lin family back then?"

Lin Min said: "Because..."

Feng Shi said: "Because your uncle has no children for life. And why did that lowly maid lose to me?"

Lin Min bowed his head and remained silent.Feng said: "Because of her unclean background, prostitutes have no reputation."

Feng raised her chin and said coldly: "You have to remember that women have no reputation, just like men have no humanity. No matter how clever you are, if you don't have a foundation, everything is useless."

Lin Min trembled a bit, and watched as Feng took out a small portrait of a man from his sleeve. Although he did not draw it in detail in a hurry, he could still see his outline.

She cast her eyes on the maid standing beside her, who met her gaze, knelt down and said, "Miss..."

Lin Min watched the portrait ignited on the candle, licking the tongue of the flame, turning everything into ashes.
