Deceive Me, Marry Me

Chapter 388: Emperor Xuan Jing!

Views:

Meng Jiayan made his position clear, and the people he brought over naturally understood it, and immediately said: "What the censor said is true! In fact, the first two sentences, 'Lights are not shining late at night, women are turning around in neon clothes', are not a pun. ! It can neither describe the scene where the city is still brightly lit at night, reflecting the originally red and cold snow all over the city into elegant and graceful neon clothes, nor can it be a metaphor for the ten years of cold windows, studying hard in order to reach Qiong. Building, he changed his red clothes into Chinese clothes. With the following "Fish and dragon dance for thousands of miles, a little fragrance of flowers", it is right and wrong in one go, and it appropriately describes the momentum and ambition that a scholar before the examination should have! In comparison, Huang Ziyue is certainly He is only a few years older than Brother Hengshu, but Yuanji does not have the latter's enterprising spirit, openness and frankness."

The dynasty followed the rules of the previous dynasty, and the clothing system and colors of the common people were stipulated. They could wear commoners, as well as relatively plain colors, bright and gorgeous clothes, which were not the privileges of the scholar-bureaucrat class. Therefore, just like the previous dynasty, "common people" and "red clothes" were used to refer to common people.

... In Bu Nao, because merchants were prosperous and the people were prosperous in this dynasty, the rule was not strictly enforced. It can be said that it was effectively abolished. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Sheng family, Sheng Suihe is neither Jieyuan nor a pure commoner.

But firstly, whether you are used to that kind of rhetoric, and secondly, whether you stand now will determine whether you praise or criticize.

That man followed Meng Jiayan closely, and Meng Jiayan wanted to promote Sheng Sleeping Crane over Huang Wujiu. Naturally, he tried every means to pile up praises, proving that Sheng Sleeping Crane was extremely talented and amazing. As for whether Sheng Suihe thought that much when he wrote "Qiongfen Fan Nishang"... That one is not about asking for anything!

Of course, Meng Jiayan spared no effort to praise Sheng Suihe and tried every means to prove that Sheng Suihe's talent lies in Huang Wujiu, and Yuan Liuguang and others cannot just ignore Huang Wujiu's defeat.

Dongyuan Liuguang snorted coldly and said: "My cousin Li asked me to write a poem about the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival before! Huang Ziyue's writings are all about the atmosphere of the bright night, but Sheng Hengshu has a hidden complaint. I'm off topic! Is Gao Dong very useful in this comparison? Of course Huang Ziyue will win!"

"Aren't those words of Marquis Yuan ridiculous?" Meng Jiayan said immediately, "Should Sheng Hengshu's poem not describe the scene of this night? It can be a pun, which is where his talent lies. After all, the predecessors have said, 'Poetry' The style of writing is noble and elegant but not vulgar. It is better to borrow but not to be clear. Sheng Hengshu's poem is deeply rooted in the true taste of this way. However, Huang Ziyue wrote in front of his eyes. It was too straight and red, which violated the taboo of "clear and clear". This shows how short-sighted he is! How can he be as ambitious as Sheng Hengshu, who thought thousands of miles away?!"

Yuan Liuguang said in amusement: "It's just a sentence of 'Fish and Dragon Dance for Ten Thousand Miles'. It's straight red and can be understood by children. How can it be considered grand?!"

"A child can understand the word 'Emperor', a child can understand respect, and a child can also know fear... According to what Marquis Yuan said, why don't I not take the Emperor seriously either?!" Meng Jiayan narrowed his eyes, half-smiling but not smiling. .

"Even if a scholar from Shenghengshu County was lucky enough to pass the Spring Festival and be named on the gold medal list, he would still be a laggard in the officialdom!" Yuan Liuguang said with consternation, "How can one line of his poems be compared with the emperor's in terms of handsomeness?! Jade, I'm too presumptuous! Could it be that just because of the Queen Mother's favor, I can do whatever I want and judge the master?!"

Meng Jiayan was unmoved: "Young Master Yuan doesn't need to make excuses and false accusations! When did he compare the emperor to Sheng Hengshu's poems? You don't think I am biased towards Huang Ziyue, so you just asked me a question! I am not guilty of guilt, why should I do this? You are messing around, instead of discussing the matter and using your conscience to judge which of the two poems is better?!"

"I'm so arrogant?!" Yuan Liuguang laughed angrily, stroking his short beard, and said cheerfully, "Then Sheng Hengshu is obviously very talented, so he barely managed to make up twenty words, from word choice to usage. All the classics are so simple and bright that they can be seen clearly at a glance! Why did he commit the taboo of poetry and prose from head to toe? And Junyu, I not only told lies with my eyes open, but also colluded with his accomplices to give him that A poem that is not much better than a limerick imposes an explanation, but at that time, it was so shameless and plausible that the explanation is worse than him?!"

"If I really believe so much in the poem of Sheng Sleeping Crane, why not take advantage of the busy time of Mingdeng Market and the crowd has not dispersed, and have people go to the door of the Night Pavilion to beat gongs and gather people, hang their poems high, and ask passers-by to judge how high they are. East?"

Meng Jiayan sneered and said slowly: "Master Yuan, if you really ask for this, I will be convinced. I am happy to see it happen... To put it bluntly, if you just hang up the two poems, It turns out that you don’t need to look at it to know: For Sheng Hengshu’s leg character, unless I secretly send someone to bribe the passers-by, there is no way I can win with Sheng Hengshu!”

Yuan Liuguang's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly: "It's not comparable to poetry, but it's not comparable to calligraphy! What's more, in the spring, papers need to be copied before they are sent to the teacher for review... No matter how good the calligraphy is, what's the use then?! "

Meng Jiayan was begging to shut up when he suddenly heard Li Shengxu cough heavily and said with a strange expression: "We don't want to argue! We will gather here tomorrow to have fun and have fun, but we have different opinions. It’s okay to say a few words, but if you make a fuss it ruins the mood, what kind of words are you talking about?”

It is said that although Li Shengxu is a marquis, not to mention that Yuan Liuguang is a marquis like him, but Meng Jiayan is the grandson of a marquis. Since he has the backers of Empress Dowager Meng and the Meng family, there is no need to worry too much. his.

After all, the biological mother of the Marquis of Yichun, Princess Wuyang of Diandong, always greeted the King of Gaomi and the Queen Mother Meng with a smile, even with a little flattery, in front of the powerful Meng family members.

But at this time, regardless of whether Yuan Liuguang or Meng Jiayan saw what Li Shengxu had said, they immediately stopped saying anything. Even the displeasure on their faces was instantly covered up, and they started to apologize to each other in a good-natured manner. , the other said: "Junyu, he has to be ruthless to be serious, so I said a few more words, I don't want to misunderstand!"

The other person said: "What did Mr. Yuan say? If everyone is silent, can they say anything? Is this a sign of closeness and trust between each other?"

After a few words of greeting, the atmosphere strangely changed from tit-for-tat to harmonious... Some of the people in the scene who vaguely guessed the truth remained calm, such as Zhao Yue, Zhao Taoyi, Sheng Weiqiao, and Sheng Weiwu, but they really No, I'm confused.

Fortunately, the answer was soon revealed:

Li Shengxu watched Yuan Liuguang and Meng Jiayan reconcile with each other in a few words, nodded with satisfaction, and said warmly: "As the saying goes, everyone has his own preferences. Since my cousin-in-law likes Huang Ziyue's poems, cousin Meng prefers Sheng Hengshu's style, such as Everyone insists on their own opinions, and it is difficult to argue. However, because of my birth defects, I have been ill for many years. I have not been able to recuperate my body and worry about my mother in those years. I have no time to delve into knowledge, but I can't make that judgment for us. Got it!"

After a pause, he showed a meaningful expression, "Fortunately, I have two elders, and Mingyue happens to be walking here. Why don't we invite them out and give them a review to determine the Gaodong of Huang Ziyue and Sheng Hengshu?"

Although Yuan Liuguang and Meng Jiayan tried their best to hide it, excitement and anxiety flashed between their eyebrows at the same time, and they said in unison: "No!"

"..." Everyone in Didong had different expressions when they saw the situation, but Dudong stood up consciously and prepared to greet them.

Sheng Weiqiao also stood up with the crowd, feeling very speechless in his heart, thinking to himself: "What elder... I have already told you that I have been sick for many years due to my birth defects. I have been recuperating my body over the years, which has not hindered the princess Wuyang's palace. It’s too late, how can I have the time to celebrate the blessings of so many elders?!”

Li Shengxu's father, Marquis of Yangwu, Li Jun, passed away a few years ago. Since then, he has been taken and raised by Princess Wuyang in Princess Wuyang's mansion. He lives in seclusion and is unlikely to be close to the elders of the Li family. … What’s more, the most prominent members of the Li family are Li Shengxu and his son. When the other elders of the Li family came to the Evernight Pavilion, how could they make Yuan Liuguang and Meng Jiayan behave in such a submissive manner

Since she is called an elder by Li Shengxu, but she does not come from her father's family, she naturally belongs to her mother's family... Princess Wuyang's natal family belongs to the royal family, and among her sisters, the one who is doing best now is herself. Is it possible to gain access to the palace just by pleasing the Queen Mother and not getting involved in political affairs

Among the brothers, King Gaomi and King Guangling came to Evernight Pavilion, and Yuan Liuguang, who was closer to them, was there, so why did they need Li Shengxu to introduce them? What's more, Meng Jiayan couldn't fault how respectful and obedient the two princes were.

In this way, one of these two so-called elders... probably will become the emperor, Emperor Xuan Jing!

The other one is nothing more than the elder or younger sister of the Shu sisters

Sure enough, the indigo-shirted servant behind Li Shengxu quietly walked to the carved lattice door behind the heavy curtains and knocked lightly, as if to report.

After a moment, the door opened, and a tall man in about fifty years old, with a slightly red face and two distinct dark eyes, stepped out first.

The man wore a soft scarf on his head, a maroon-bottomed blouse with a blessing and longevity pattern, a broad belt with ruby gold and five clouds holding the moon, a gold-inlaid jade hook, a silver sachet with hollow bird and grape patterns, and new soap-colored silk trousers tied with green Satin foundation embroidered with Begonia gold and jade boots.

Although he was dressed like an ordinary powerful person and his complexion was really not that good, the bossy expressions that came out naturally from the corners of his eyes and brows, as well as the reaction of Li Shengxu and others who immediately lowered their eyes and greeted vaguely after just one glance, all proved Sheng Weiqiao's attitude. The guess is correct, this person clearly denies the Mu Dynasty as the emperor, Emperor Xuanjing!

The person who followed Emperor Xuan Jing out was dressed in a five-layered peach red gown with gold butterfly and flower robes, lightly tied with a gold folding silk inlaid jewelry and fragrant makeup belt, outlining her enchanting figure; her head was tied loosely A bun with a bun, and a corolla of red gold inlaid with precious stones, bats, butterflies, peonies, and red gold silk. On the left and right of the corolla, a gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with precious stones was inserted to bring good fortune, longevity, and good luck. It looked jeweled and magnificent; if you agree, you can travel. Conveniently, her skirt is a bit short tomorrow, so she looks arrogant. When she moves, a pair of goose-yellow phoenix shoes inlaid with hydrangeas are looming, which is very charming.

Everyone knows whether the eight-year-old is one of the two empresses Shu in the palace.
