The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

The Qionglin Banquet is the home court for civil servants. The last time Shen Jia shined, not only won the literary test, but also beat the commander of the Jinwu Guard in the game of throwing pots. This year, with a champion like Shi Yue, no one dared to mention any martial arts competitions.

Wen Bi is indispensable, Shen Jia was terribly afraid that someone would ask him to write a poem, so he ran away early with a jug in his hand, others only thought that he was giving face to the champion of the new department, and did not compete with him for winning or losing, so how could they know that he was cowardly.

Shen Jia went to the imperial garden with the jug, the spring was just right, and a hundred flowers bloomed in the imperial garden, making one feel refreshed.

Shen Jia sat on a stone by the lake and drank by himself. Several waiters on the lake were throwing fish fry into the water. Thinking of the fish soup served on the table a few days ago, the corners of Shen Jia's mouth curled up.

In the past, this imperial garden was a good place to enjoy the scenery and relax, but since the harem was cleaned up, few people came here, no one watched the flowers bloom, and no one cared what kind of fish was raised in the lake, whether it was good or not, So I don’t know when, this lake has become the back-up warehouse of the imperial dining room. All kinds of edible fish are raised in the lake. There are also lotus seeds and water chestnuts in summer, and lotus roots in autumn. I have received such things several times, so that everyone did not associate Zhao Zhang and nephew with the two masters in the palace.

"Master Shen is so comfortable, why is he drinking alone here?"

Shen Jia turned her head and saw a group of court ladies walking towards Empress Wei, she was wearing a green and elegant long dress, and she was dressed like a girl who had never left the court. Compared with the past, she was a little less majestic and more cute.

Shen Jia got up and bowed to her: "I, Chen Jia, pay my respects to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"Master Shen doesn't have to be like this, here are all our own people."

"Etiquette cannot be broken." Shen Jia stood up straight and then took two steps back. There was at least two or three meters between the two of them.

Wei Jinrong decided to go out for a walk today on a whim, to see if he could meet some handsome talents by chance. Unexpectedly, he didn't see the new champion, but met an old champion.

"Master Shen is too cautious, why don't we go to the pavilion and talk?"

Shen Jia refused in her heart, what could he and Wei Jinrong have to say?But Wei Jinrong didn't realize his embarrassment at all, maybe he realized that he didn't know, anyway, she wasn't embarrassed, Shen Jia was the one who was embarrassed.

The two walked into the pavilion one after the other, and the maids stood apart, not far or close, as if they were guarding the men and women who were meeting secretly.

"Master Shen, what does the new champion look like?"

Shen Jia replied cautiously: "The posture of a dragon and a tiger is graceful."

"Oh, do you have a wife?"

Shen Jiaduo glanced at her, and the latter smiled and said, "Just curious."

"I've never heard of it. If you want to know, you can ask the maid to inquire about it." Shen Jia teased, he didn't hate Wei Jinrong, on the contrary, he was very grateful to her, and admired her very much. It is very remarkable that this society can cultivate such a talented woman. Easy.

"That's not necessary. Thinking about it, no one can compare to Mr. Shen. It's enough to look at Mr. Shen a few more times."

Shen Jia was speechless, "Does the queen think the palace is too lonely and want to find fault?"

Wei Jinrong covered his mouth with a fan and laughed loudly, "I thought Mr. Shen had already eaten the emperor to death, why would he be nervous just because of two jokes?"

Shen Jia thought to herself: I am not afraid of him, but I am afraid of you!

"Does your empress like life in the palace?"

"That depends on what you compare it to. This palace is rich and luxurious, carefree, much better than marrying an ordinary family."

"Then have you thought about leaving the palace?"

Wei Jinrong smiled at him generously, "When you don't need me anymore, I won't be too late to ask for my resignation. I think the emperor will be very generous." Thinking about Liu Yanwan, you will know that the person who used him paid enough.

Shen Jia coughed uncomfortably, and asked, "Do you want to go back to your mother's house?"

"The Wei family? What are you doing there? If I have a chance to go out of the palace in the future, I will take Yinzi and the maids of the guards and travel all over the country to do the same things as Master Yunzhen. His poems and articles can be handed down for a long time, isn't that much better than leaving a name in the history books?"

For the first time, Shen Jia learned that this woman is ambitious, but her ambition is not in the harem, but in the mountains and rivers, and she can see the situation clearly. If she left the palace with the other concubines, the most likely reason is that Wei The family arranged for remarriage, and now he knew what kind of people the Wei family was like, and they did a lot of outrageous things outside under the banner of the queen's natal family.

"Actually, you don't have to wait until you leave the palace. Your Majesty usually has excellent works that you can submit to the newspaper. As long as the manuscript is good enough, it will be published."

Wei Jinrong froze for a moment, feeling that Shen Jia's proposal was too scary, "Women can also contribute?"

"Why not? Does the acceptance of manuscripts depend on whether the author is male or female? With so many anonymous manuscripts, who knows whether they are male or female, old or young?"

Wei Jinrong got up quickly, turned around and ran outside, ran a few steps and turned around again, "Master Shen, please wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

Seeing her running away with her skirt in her hands, Shen Jia smiled helplessly as she was chasing after a group of palace maids. How can the character of saying that the wind is the rain be as dignified as usual?

Shen Jia didn't want to go back to the banquet anyway, so she sat in the pavilion drinking and waiting, but Wei Jinrong didn't wait for Zhao Zhang to come.

"You've been out for a long time and you're still not willing to go back?" Zhao Zhang stooped to grab the wine glass in his hand, and poured the wine into his mouth.

Shen Jia squinted at him, "Why did the emperor come out? Is it over?"

"People have three urgencies. I am also a human being, so naturally I need to come out and change clothes." Zhao Zhang watched Shen Jia come out, waited for a long time without seeing him go back, and couldn't bear to come out to find someone, only to see him sitting leisurely in the pavilion Drink freely.

"Is their competition over? Who won the leader?"

Zhao Zhang laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You didn't have to run away just now, Shi Yue's poems are not as good as yours, and no matter how clever his policy theory is, he might not be able to compose poems, if I didn't take him into consideration Because of face, I wanted to judge him as the bottom in public, but in the end Yu Qian won the leader."

"Then what did the emperor reward him? Or a house?"

"After appreciating two famous paintings and two ancient books, do you think everyone likes things outside of the body like you?" Zhao Zhang didn't believe that he didn't know. At that time, he used the house as a lottery for him, otherwise he would have preferred Reward something with subtle connotations.

"Let's go, it's almost over there, I'll take you to a place later." Zhao Zhang took Shen Jia's hand and stood up. The latter hesitated and said honestly, "I'm waiting for someone."

Zhao Zhang looked at him suspiciously, "Who?"

"Queen."

Zhao Zhang snorted coldly, "You are so brave, you are not afraid of being seen by outsiders? At that time, the hat of adulterous harem will definitely be removed, and it will be difficult for you to justify."

"It's just a few words, there are so many people here." Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here soon, Shen Jia saw Wei Jinrong running over with a notebook in his arms, running back and forth panting, with disheveled temple hair, it didn't look too bad decent.

When Zhao Zhang first saw her like this, he was shocked and speechless.

Wei Jinrong saluted hurriedly, then handed the notebook to Shen Jia, with stars shining in his eyes, and said happily: "Master Shen, this is what I wrote on weekdays, please help me read it when you have time, and contribute to me if you can." Bar."

Shen Jia naturally agreed, "Then I don't know what nickname the empress wants to take?"

"The one on the first page is...don't bother you two, my concubine is leaving." Wei Jinrong came and walked quickly, but this time, her steps were extraordinarily easy, and the smile on her face was much more sincere than usual After a few minutes, life seemed to suddenly become exciting.

"Yun Zhonghe... this empress is really ambitious." Shen Jia told Zhao Zhang what Wei Jinrong had said just now, touched him lightly, and whispered, "Let her out of the palace after two years. Think of it as an early retirement."

"Don't say it for two years, she can leave now if she wants to, but this harem has to choose a new manager."

Shen Jia poked his waist and asked, "Do you still have a harem?"

Zhao Zhang took his hand and pulled him into his arms, kissed the tip of his nose affectionately, "Aren't you the one?"

The two walked out of the Imperial Garden, fighting and fighting, and when they returned to Qionglin Garden, they looked serious again.

Shen Jia congratulated Yu Qian, and then found Shi Yue and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, we are together."

Shi Yue looked at him suspiciously, "Your Excellency Shen, you don't need to belittle yourself so much to comfort the subordinates. The reputation of being an idler is known all over the world. Shi Mou has self-knowledge. No one is perfect. Shi Mou is just not good at poetry, so he is not that weak." .”

Shen Jia couldn't explain clearly with her mouth all over her body. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhang's sniggering. She glared at him and explained dryly: "Those... are all other people's masterpieces. I just carried them."

Shi Yue looked at him quietly, and thought: No wonder most people are full of praise when they mention Shen Jia. This kind of humility is very commendable. I always think that I am very strong, but in fact it is just others who are humble.

After the Qionglin Banquet was over, a group of drunks were carried out of the palace. Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang, who had changed their outfits, left the palace through another door. The carriage was also changed to a low-key one, and none of the accompanying people were familiar faces.

"Where is it so mysterious?"

"You'll know when you arrive, it's very close."

Shen Jia thought that very close refers to a certain place in the city, but as soon as he took out some snacks, the carriage stopped. He remembered that he only walked for a few minutes after leaving the palace, and he definitely hadn't left the imperial city. .

"arrive?"

Zhao Zhang nodded: "Go down and have a look."

Shen Jia was very curious, she was the first to jump out of the carriage, and what she saw was a brand new mansion with a grand appearance, both the lintel and materials were much more advanced than Shen's mansion.

"here is?"

"Shen Mansion." Zhao Zhang gave the answer, "After the secret road was sealed, it was inconvenient for me to go out of the palace, so I chose this place as my future home, and went in to see if I was satisfied."

Shen Jia walked in almost with the same hands and feet, but her soul hadn't returned to her place, until she stood on the steps and saw the palace wall separated by a river, she asked in a daze: "This mansion is right next to the palace wall. outside?"

"Yes, it's just across the bridge. When I open the door there, it's only two steps away from the palace and back to the mansion."

So... so high-profile?

"In what name was it given to me? I haven't done any meritorious service recently."

Zhao Zhang tapped his head and reminded him: "Can't you buy it yourself?"

"Impossible, there are at least five people in this house, right? How can I afford it with my salary?"

"Take a closer look at what is here."

Shen Jia ignored him, and went inside to take a look around first. The outside looked magnificent, and the inside was even more magnificent. The furniture and scenery were all new, which showed that the layout was done with great care.

When she saw a three-story observation building in the main courtyard, Shen Jia couldn't wait to run up to the top floor. With a glance, half of the capital came into her eyes, and she naturally saw the bustling commercial city under construction.

"It turned out to be here..." Shen Jia was amazed. He had said earlier that the north of the city was not far from the imperial palace, so this place should also be located in the north of the city, and it was a wasteland that no one used to visit.

"When was this house built?"

"Few people come here. The house has been built for almost a year, but it's a bit secluded. I don't know if my parents are used to living there."

Hearing his address, Shen Jia unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, this area will be lively in the future, and why did you bring them here to live?"
