"...Qing won the prize before she reached the weak crown. She is indeed a rare young hero in the world. I have a beloved daughter who is just as young as she is, and she is very suitable for Qing. It is a match made in heaven..."
As soon as the consciousness came to the new world, Yuan Buwei heard a majestic voice with a smile.
His eyes, which were confused for a moment, focused instantly, and he glanced across the magnificent and magnificent hall in front of him. The palace servants in the hall, the officials standing with hands down, standing behind him? Other new scholars who were a little cautious not far away, and The top leader is looking at him with an appreciative smile? His emperor.
Is this... the legendary marriage gift
In an instant, Yuan Buwei realized what happened to him, and he also found out his identity.
His expression didn't change, and he suddenly said: "Excuse me for being rude."
"The princess has a noble status, and she is not worthy of a minister."
While talking like this, Yuan didn't feel like he was playing a role-playing game. He bowed lightly to the emperor indifferently, but he didn't feel uncomfortable.
The emperor who was in high spirits frowned when he was rejected so mercilessly. His originally smiling face had turned gloomy, and his gaze towards Yuan Buwei gradually turned cold, making the atmosphere in the hall instantly depressing.
After looking at the original for a moment, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Qing, what do you mean by this? Just now when I asked, you admitted that you have not yet married a wife. Could it be that you are lying and pretending to deceive the emperor? Or are you saying... you Do you not like my princess?"
As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down.
The Golden Luan Hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, the officials lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible.
Around the main hall, all eyes looked more or less, directly or covertly, at the surprisingly young, handsome, and bold Tanhua Lang standing in the center of the hall. With? Regret, puzzlement, or gloat.
But seeing that this Tanhualang was not too flustered, Shi Shiran was still standing there, only lowered his eyes, and calmly and calmly uttered three words: "I have a disease."
emperor:"… ?"
The officials: "...??"
One step later to connect to the system 999: […? ? ?]
There was another eerie silence.
At this moment, no matter whether it was the officials who felt sorry and puzzled, the Jinshi who gloated in the same discipline, or the emperor with a gloomy expression who seemed to be angry at any moment, they all froze for a moment, and the expressions on their faces inevitably froze. , seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong.
... This?, This? Could it be what they thought? No, no, if there is a hidden disease in that area, this Tanhualang will not say it so frankly in public. Maybe they think too much, but in fact it is just a congenital deficiency and a loss of vitality
Although they kept looking for reasons in their hearts, everyone's thoughts still inevitably drifted in an unspeakable direction, and the eyes that looked at Yuan Buwei brought subtle weirdness and self-concealed scrutiny.
No one? Doubt that he dared to deliberately make up nonsense in front of the emperor, just to avoid marrying the princess.
One, the kind of "disease" imagined by everyone is a fatal blow to a man's dignity. Even if it really happened, it must be concealed. And who would do this? To deliberately frame oneself? Both, marrying a princess is not a bad thing.
In the previous dynasty, son-in-law was not allowed to participate in politics, so that the emperor's daughter was worried about marrying; but in this dynasty, there is no such regulation. Therefore, not only is marrying a princess no longer a dangerous path, but it has become a shortcut to climb up.
Especially for this mediocre Tanhualang.
The princess comes from a noble family, and it is considered humble to condescend to marry. How could he despise the princess and refuse to marry even if he fabricates lies to slander himself
What's more, the princess mentioned by the emperor is exactly the princess Yuhua who was born to the empress. She lost her mother at birth and has a noble status. Known for being gentle, pure, kind and easy to get along with, she is really the best choice for a wife.
A few days ago, there was news in Beijing that the emperor wanted to choose a son-in-law for Princess Yuhua. No one expected that this matter would end in such a dramatic way—it was supposed to be a ranking for the new Jinshi, but the emperor suddenly made a temporary decision, and came to the Golden Palace to catch his son-in-law, and selected the Tanhua who had just been selected Lang is a consort.
What was even more unexpected was that this Tanhualang had the guts to refuse the marriage in front of the emperor, and he even gave a reason that no one could object to.
In the strange silence in the hall, Yuan Buweiji quickly received all the memories of this body, and understood his current identity—surname Xie, first name Yuan, style name Zhishui, only nineteen years old, really? Single and unmarried.
Regarding the last point, Yuan Buwei breathed a sigh of relief. Playing the role of someone else's husband or father was not acceptable to him.
This older, late-married young man came from a down-and-out scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. ? Willing to marry the most favored Princess Yuhua.
Everyone? They only thought that the emperor wanted to recruit Tanhua as his son-in-law temporarily because he admired her talent and appearance, but they didn't know that as early as half a month ago, Xie Yuan met Princess Yuhua who sneaked out of the palace to play while hiding her identity. After meeting him several times in succession, he secretly fell in love with this noble and beautiful girl, but he didn't dare to reveal his identity.
Just yesterday, Princess Yuhua took the initiative to find Xie Yuan, confessed her true identity, and boldly confessed, and told him shyly: She had confessed her thoughts to the emperor in private, and the emperor could not bear her. I begged, and promised to study Xie Yuan carefully in the Golden Luan Hall, and if he was really talented, he would marry the two of them.
Now all of this really came true.
The only son of a down-and-out scholarly family, who has studied hard for many years and once won the prize, and the two love each other. The gentle and beautiful princess bowed down and married. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a winner in life.
However, this "life winner" accidentally caught a glimpse of a fragment from the tide of fate at his most glorious moment. Immediately afterwards, like a hare startled by the breath of a ferocious beast, he ran away in a panic, abandoning everything he owned, and letting this unexpected outsider take over his own destiny.
——As if this "envy of others" encounter is Xie Yuan's worst nightmare.
"...Looking at it this way, I seem to have broken up a pair of lovers as soon as I came here." Yuan Buwei made a "tsk" in his consciousness, and didn't have any guilt or guilt.
Not to mention? It can be seen from Xie Yuan's operation of throwing his body down and running away? There must be something tricky, even if everything is really like this, he can't sacrifice himself for the sake of that princess—who made it so difficult now? What about the specific body for his use? Heartbreaker? It's Xie Yuan who ran away, not him.
Well, that's right, that's it?... Yuan Buwei figured everything out, and stood there calmly.
Eyes from all directions fell on him.
The emperor's expression was particularly complicated, the gloom had not yet dissipated, and he was a little more surprised.
He fixedly stared at Yuan Buwei, as if he wanted to see through the heart of this Tanhualang. But Yuan Buwei had a candid face, as if to say? It wasn't him who was lying.
After the silence, the emperor sighed in shock and pain, and descended the steps: "There is such a thing?... God is jealous of talents!"
"Xue Quan!" He called out the name of the eunuch standing next to him, "After the talent ceremony is over, remember to send a highly skilled imperial physician to treat Tanhua. Such a hero, even if he has chronic illnesses, how could I?" Being able to turn a blind eye and let Daxia lose a talent!"
As for the matter of marrying the princess, he didn't mention it directly.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed, and all the civil and military officials who breathed a sigh of relief bowed down together, saying that they were holy.
Didn't he even notice it? The eyes of several young Jinshi were already red. I don't know if it was because of their superb acting skills, or because they were really moved by the emperor's demeanor.
With the sound of the whip, the emperor withdrew, and the tense atmosphere in the hall was completely dissipated. According to the procedure, the routine praise of officials in the Royal Street of Xinke Scholars should follow.
This is also the brightest moment in the life of many scholars.
Amidst the sound of ceremony and music, all the scholars who changed their clothes rushed out of the hall, especially the red three tripod armor? The most eye-catching, of course, most of the eyes were envious.
Although he has changed many identities and traveled to the dynasties of the world when he was in Luofu, but it is true that he has not passed the imperial examination and became an official... Well, this is a brand new version that he has never played before.
Yuan Buwei, who was driving this color for the first time, couldn't help reaching out and touching his red sleeves, with a bit of novelty, and the whole person's state was very brisk.
The others looked at this Tanhua who didn't know what he was enjoying, and shook their heads secretly, quietly moving away from him.
At this moment, the entire capital city is extremely lively.
The triennial Talent Promotion Ceremony is the biggest event in the entire Great Xia. In Shili Royal Street, the common people lined the streets and cheered. There were countless people throwing fruit and flowers.
These ordinary people who are good at discovering beauty soon set their sights on the youngest Tanhua.
[I saw that this young Tanhua looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall and straight figure and a very good appearance, and his whole body was even more revealing? A calm and calm demeanor...]
—Of course, there are so many words that ordinary people can't think of. These are all intimate narrations of the system 999.
Not to mention?, when it read such a passage to Yuan Buwei's ear with a mechanical voice, it almost made Yuan Buwei think that he was back in the last world, participating in some large-scale event, and the host? Read the lines.
"???" A string of question marks appeared above Yuan Buwei's head.
... This? System, why has it changed without knowing it? Could it be that someone? took it to pieces
And even though the common people don't know so many words, they still think it's beautiful.
Immediately, the cheers in the aisle became louder, and countless things fell towards him like raindrops, and he dodged them lightly one by one, while his body was still sitting firmly on the horse.
In the gaze of an unknown number of people, he was not surprised at all, but felt a special gaze falling on him. It's just because this look is completely different from other people's eyes, and it contains a lot of malice.
He raised his head and followed that gaze.
In a restaurant on the side of the road, there is a young girl standing by the window. She is dressed in a brocade dress, like a light cloud, with perfect head and crescent eyebrows, almond eyes and peach cheeks, eyes full of autumn water, and even the line of her jaw is as beautiful as a picture. .
The girl lowered her head and stared fixedly at Yuan Buwei below, her beautiful face almost frozen, as if she didn't expect him to raise her head suddenly, and the eyes of the two people collided immediately.
She was stunned for a moment, then bit her lips lightly, her autumn-like eyes lighted up little by little, revealing a flower-like smile, which made many people who came across this by accident? .
— This? It is the Princess Yuhua!
A name flashed through my mind in an instant, and I didn't think I recognized the identity of this girl, because this princess Yuhua was too deep in my memory.
It seems that this princess Yuhua has been waiting on the imperial street for a long time, and she still doesn't know what happened in the palace. She thinks everything is settled? With a body of thousands of gold, he can still condescend so much. If it was the previous Xie Yuan, he would have been so moved... However, with such a smile on his face, so much anticipation and joy, the malice in his heart overflowed. Come out... Say? Okay, are you two in love
Yuan didn't want to look at? Look at?, the curvature of the lips suddenly turned up: "...this world has something interesting."
·
In the evening of that day, Qionglin Garden was brightly lit. The emperor hosted a banquet in Qionglin Garden and invited a group of new scholars to the banquet.
The atmosphere in the garden was extremely lively, and there were staggered cups of wine at the table. Everyone toasted and exchanged cups. Some people spread paper and ink, and painted on the spot; The second place, always sitting reservedly in the banquet, from time to time glanced at the top from the corner of his eye, just waiting for
It's a pity that the emperor didn't give the response they were looking forward to, but there was a cutscene in the symbolic attendance, and after staying for less than a quarter of an hour, he got up and left, and most of the officials also left. become deserted.
Those good stories that have been circulated in the past, such as the number one scholar writing poems, the emperor bestowing wine, or a certain mediocre new scholar who performed outstandingly at the Qionglin Banquet and was admired by the emperor and important ministers...all of them are missing.
The atmosphere took a turn for the worse. One moment there was laughter and laughter, and the next moment it suddenly stopped. Scholars with a good attitude stopped writing poems and paintings, but those with a bad attitude threw their pens away and were too lazy to continue to express.
There are also people who directly showed undisguised expressions of regret, and there are subtle sighs everywhere.
Sitting at the top of the champion and at the bottom of the list, Yuan Buwei, who had been enjoying himself while drinking and eating vegetables, immediately noticed two glaring gazes on him. If these gazes could condense into substance, they would probably have already shot through him.
After finishing the last piece of rose cake on the plate, it was not because of this that he turned his head and looked at the first two people one by one, and said with a smile: "this rose cake is good, you two don't want to try it. Do you want to taste it?"
Staring at the top pick and the second place who were not doing it with resentment, they were slightly startled when they heard the words, and they didn't know what to say in the eyes that were not sincere.
... Your Majesty is gone, are you still thinking about some snacks
No, maybe it is a good thing for Tanhua that His Majesty is gone? Otherwise, with his ignorant virtue, if he offends His Majesty again, will he be able to save his life or two
I suspected that the reason why His Majesty left the banquet early was because he lost face by being rejected by the court today. Is he not? Are you in the mood to continue hosting the Qionglin Banquet? ? Opinion, but they are not bad at cultivating qi, they will not express it directly, tearing their skin like people in the market
The number one scholar who is nearly forty years old and has a stable personality just raised his glass and smiled at Yuan Buwei, and declined politely: "I don't like sweets, I'm afraid it doesn't match Brother Xie's taste."
And the younger and more impulsive No. 2, said? His words were much sharper, and he just smiled slightly: "This is the same year as Mandian, and who else can match the taste of Brother Xie?"
After saying this meaningful sentence, he smiled again, and said in an indistinguishable tone: "I see that at today's banquet, only brother Xie remained motionless from the beginning to the end, intent on enjoying the cakes." , As expected of His Majesty himself? The praised young talent is extremely calm."
"It seems that both of you don't like this rose cake?" Yuan Buwei didn't seem to understand the thorn in his words at all, but just came to this conclusion on his own, then shook his head and let out a pity Long sigh.
Then?, he educated earnestly:
"Your Majesty's banquet, how can you live up to it!"
Before the two people could react, he had already leaned forward slightly, and stretched out his hands at the same time, and two plates of snacks were in front of him at once.
Under the surprised and inexplicable gaze of the other two, the curvature of Yuan Buwei's lips rose little by little.
"The final number of copies is the same year, so don't thank me."
Two people?: "???"
… who I am? where am I? what happened
It took a long time for them to react and straighten out the logical relationship. According to what this Tanhua Lang said, His Majesty's banquet should not be disappointing, but they don't like pastries, so this Tanhua Lang reluctantly solved it for them? ? ? You don't have to thank him? ?
The mature and prudent No. 1 scholar froze for a moment with a smile on his face, and the slightly sharper No. 2 scholar had already flattened the corners of his lips.
I don't think that Yuan Buwei really likes desserts. I just think that this is the second place that the other party deliberately provokes him with words, and his face is almost deformed with anger.
But this? The anger can't come out, and it's even more angry.
He held back for a moment, finally let out a cold snort, got up and left with a flick of his sleeves. The number one scholar, who was originally full of question marks, smiled awkwardly, and found an excuse? He left his seat and went to communicate with other Jinshi.
The No. 1 pick left one after another, and Yuan Buwei suddenly became vacant, making him who was already conspicuous even more conspicuous.
However, he obviously never cared about this? Perhaps the reduction in the number of rose cakes on the plate could affect his mind even more.
"Zhishui, you really surprised me today. First, you refused His Majesty's marriage offer in the hall, and even the famous Shengjing's number one beauty, Princess Yuhua, had the heart to surrender, and now you are so angry that you are ranked second... Tsk tsk, why didn't I do it before?" Discover that you still have this kind of talent?"
A young Jinshi in his early twenties came over with a wine glass and made a joke in a brisk tone.
His tone was very friendly, and while he was speaking, he unceremoniously sat beside Yuan Buwei, and looked up and down at the friend in front of him with curious and playful eyes.
Relying on the original body's memory, Yuan didn't think the same. He recognized this person at a glance, and responded with a light smile: "Ziping said that he laughed. The princess is indeed not my good match. This is true. As for those two dear friends, I am kind enough to help them solve their troubles. How can there be any reason to let go? I think I am tired of sitting here, so let's go and relax."
He spoke in an innocent and sincere tone, and unless he witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, most people would believe his words.
"Ha!" Xiao Yuan let out a laugh from his throat, "Zhi Shui, you are really..." He originally wanted to say "Zuo Zao" directly, but when he saw someone nearby looking towards this side, he didn't? Sometimes? Besides?, he just shook his head slightly, with a clear expression in his eyes, "I don't believe your nonsense."
The two talked and laughed for a while, Xiao Yuan suddenly looked around, put down his wine glass, and moved closer to Chao Yuan Buwei.
Didn't he realize that he should have? Got down to business.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuan lowered his voice and said softly, "I'm afraid the matter of bestowing a marriage this time is not as simple as that."
"What?" Yuan Buwei looked at him in surprise. Didn't expect the other party to have such a keen mind.
Xiao Yuan thought he didn't believe it, so he lowered his voice a bit, and explained: "I'm just guessing about this matter. My elder brother once served as an accompanying reader in the palace, and I vaguely heard it from him? A piece of news, His Majesty loves it very much. Princess Yuhua, once himself? Promise that if you choose a son-in-law in the future, Princess Yuhua must nod first, and you will never force her."
"Although? Not many people knew about it at the time, and I didn't appeal to the public, but I don't think His Majesty will regret it for no reason, unless it can bring greater benefits to Great Xia..." If it is said that Princess Yuhua Marrying to an enemy country? Marrying with relatives, or marrying into the family of important ministers to show favor. A Tanhua Lang with no family background, even if His Majesty loves his talents, he will not violate the agreement and force Princess Yuhua. "
Yuan didn't think so and asked, "You mean, actually? It was Princess Yuhua who first fell in love with me?"
The original body's relationship with Princess Yuhua was extremely secretive, and it had never been revealed to Xiao Yuan before.
Xiao Yuan nodded: "That's probably the case. That's why I want to remind you to be careful."
"Could it be that Princess Yuhua will get angry and take revenge? Didn't you say it? Is she gentle, kind, and understanding?" Yuan Buwei said with a nonchalant tone.
"Princess Yuhua naturally won't, but His Majesty can't guarantee it. If this matter is just His Majesty's whim, it's fine if you refuse. But if you hurt Princess Yuhua's heart, wouldn't you annoy Your Majesty? The princess has a delicate mind. If you feel sad, How could His Majesty not be angry if you hurt your body?"
And if the emperor is dissatisfied with someone, even if he wants to show a magnanimous magnanimity on the surface, there are too many other means. Even just a little hint, there is? The courtier is willing to help.
From Xiao Yuan's words, it can be heard that he still has a good impression of Princess Yuhua, but he is just worried that the emperor's love for his daughter will not be detrimental to Yuan.
Therefore, he sincerely suggested: "If you believe me, before entering the Imperial Academy, you might as well ask for leave and return to your hometown, and return to Beijing after a while when things calm down."
It wasn't Wei Wei who nodded.
In fact, this Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ziping, was born in a family in Beijing. He was a friend who came to Beijing to take the exam. The acquaintance has only been two months, and the friendship is not very deep. Others have avoided him. When he is like a tiger, he is still willing to speak out to remind him, which is considered extremely loyal.
Did he? Did he say anything about Xiao Yuan's suggestion? Instead, he asked: "How much do you know about Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yuan didn't understand at first, so, then he reacted: "You want to start from His Majesty, and do what he likes? This? It's a good idea."
He drank a glass of wine, searched his stomach, and finally said: "Yes, Your Majesty is kind!"
"When your majesty was still the prince, he was very good at Taoism, and even wanted to seek immortals to visit Taoism... Later, other princes set up a trap with this, which made your majesty stumble, and the position of prince was almost abolished... After that? His Majesty stopped talking about Taoism, and destroyed all the Taoist scriptures in front of the late emperor to show his determination..." He spoke intermittently, "However, after he became the throne, His Majesty sent people to repair it one after another The Taoism of the world."
Xiao Yuan didn't have any choice to continue talking, but changed the topic: "I don't know Zhishui can be good at Taoism? If you can follow what you like, maybe you can turn disaster into blessing."
"I almost forgot that this matter should not be revealed. It is best not to show any traces. If you take the initiative to act too deliberately in front of His Majesty, you will easily be denounced as a traitor by the officials." He had an idea in a blink of an eye. He said enthusiastically, "... I think the Daoist temple in the capital is good. Your Majesty will invite the temple master to enter the palace from time to time to exchange Taoism. You can find an opportunity to get acquainted with the temple master Chixiao. If you can let Chixiao take the initiative It is very good to mention you before Your Majesty."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Yuan did not respond, he asked in bewilderment, "Does Zhishui think there is something wrong?"
"...No, not? There is?." Yuan Buwei was silent for a moment, "I was just thinking about another question."
... This? A series of operations is not complicated, but someone who can think of it in a blink of an eye? It is not simple. The whole process can be written into a book? #传杰上位手册#.
—Just, why are you so proficient
At this moment, I didn't doubt it very much. If there hadn't been his arrival, in the predetermined direction of fate, the young man in front of me with a face that is actively advising him would be the biggest big Xia in the future. Traitor, right
