At this moment, the only sound in the entire Canghai Tower was the hearty laughter of the eldest son of King Pingnan. The key point was that he not only laughed, but also sat on the ground with his mouth wide open, pointing in the direction of Mu Yuanxiu, as if he was afraid that the other party didn't know that he was laughing at him.
The other people in the building had just come back to their senses from the amazement of this poem. Looking at Shao Qingwei who was standing there without saying anything else with a pale face, most of them couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Everyone present was a scholar, so they all understood the twists and turns. Seeing the boy's calm and composed appearance, they thought he would really say some famous words, but who knew he would actually plagiarize others' works, and the plagiarized poems were so brilliant. He was really not afraid of being exposed. Could it be that he thought he would take the original author's works for himself first, and then the original author would come to him later. His fame has already spread, and there are many people who are involved for him
"you… "
Shao Qingwei looked at the faint mockery in the eyes of the people around her, gritted her teeth and turned her head, just in time to see Rong Si leaving the shadow of the door, revealing a handsome little face, waving the fan in her hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking at her mockingly.
"It's you!" Shao Qingwei exclaimed. She was so shocked that she forgot to conceal her feminine voice. "Could it be, could it be that you are also..."
Shao Qingwei looked at Rong Si in surprise. Yes, yes, this woman must have traveled through time as well. Otherwise, as a noble concubine, she wouldn't have suddenly made things difficult for her. But when did she travel through time? Was she earlier or later than her? It should be later than her. Otherwise, she wouldn't suddenly attack her! But they both came from the same world, so they should be from the same hometown. Why did this woman have to make things difficult for her? What good would it do to make things difficult for her? For Mu Yuanxiu? Or was she afraid that a stranger like her would expose her identity, so she took the initiative. What a good plan!
This kind of woman is too despicable!
But now is not the time to fall out. The most important thing now is to appease Mu Yuanxiu behind her. He is the foundation of her life. As long as his heart is with her, even ten Rong Si will not be her opponent.
At this time, Mu Yuanxiu also saw Rong Si's appearance and immediately shouted at her, "Nonsense! Why are you here too?"
"Why can you come but I can't? Come out and have some fun!"
Rong Si closed the book and casually threw it back into Nian Xia's arms.
At this moment, Mu Yichen, who was in the private room upstairs, saw Rong Si's appearance clearly. After a moment of stunned expression, he suddenly smiled softly.
Nonsense.
He laughed in his heart.
Mu Lianxuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Rong Si who raised her chin slightly. For a moment, he seemed to not recognize her. Didn't she tell him not to leave the palace? Why was she here now? When did Rong Si learn to lie to him with her eyes open
Seeing Rong Si throwing the book away, Shao Qingwei stepped forward and asked softly, "Excuse me, is the author of this book named Song Lian? I remember when I was still at home, there was a teacher named Song Lian who taught me. But before he left, he not only stole my family's property, but also took away my poetry collection. Many of these poems are the result of my hard work over the years. I hope this knight can tell me the address of Song Lian so that I can find the heirloom jade pendant my mother left me..."
After the initial panic, Shao Qingwei immediately calmed down and looked seriously in the direction of Rong Si with a hint of hope and resentment in her eyes, as if Rong Si was shielding a criminal by not telling her where Song Lian was.
Since the other party could fabricate such a false story about Song Lian, she could continue to talk about it. Now she was in a dilemma. In fact, the original owner, Shao Qingwei, was also a talented woman, but the writings of a little talented woman were not comparable to the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture. She really looked down on them. Who knew that she would make a mistake and then make another mistake. Now it has become the key to her being attacked.
"Wait, what?" Rong Si opened her eyes wide, "Song Lian is actually such a person? These poems were written by you?"
Seeing Rong Si's surprised look, Shao Qingwei frowned inwardly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, the next second -
"This, this searching, the sad and miserable feeling is you. In this life, we must enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty because of you. The flowers in the forest have faded in spring, too quickly. Helplessly, the cold rain in the morning and the wind in the evening are also you?" Rong Si opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of Shao Qingwei.
"Of course..." Shao Qingwei gritted her teeth.
Hearing this, Rong Si looked at her and nodded, "I didn't expect that at your young age, you have such a complicated mind, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, you are really amazing! But I heard that Song Lian is dead. The person who sold the book to me was a little book boy, and I don't know if he is still alive now. He is on the east side of the market, you may find him if you go looking for him! Tsk tsk, who would have thought that Song Lian is such a villain, but he is a bit strange! He actually collected your poems and put a random name on them, and didn't even think of claiming them as his own. Could these be his relatives..."
"What did you say?" Shao Qingwei had an even worse feeling in her heart.
Then she watched Rong Si casually flipping through the book, "Oh, I was thinking I remembered it wrong before. It turns out that the full name of this book is Song Lian's Poetry Collection. He also compiled a collection of the hard work of many famous poets..."
As he said this, he took a step forward. "The author of this Qingyu'an he marked is a great poet named Xin Qiji, and the one of When Will the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon End is by a poet named Li Yu. There are also Li Bai, Li Qingzhao, Su Shi and others in the list. Each of them is quite classic. I don't quite understand how he put these names on it. Could it be that they are all his relatives? He wants to become famous by bringing his relatives along with him? It's really strange..."
Rong Si finished speaking with a smile, but Shao Qingwei felt a sudden buzzing sound in her head. Then, before anyone could react, she suddenly rushed forward and snatched the poetry collection from Rong Si's hand. Rong Si was almost knocked away by her brutal action.
"Young Master!"
Nian Xia exclaimed.
The next second, Rong Si was suddenly held by a pair of big hands as she fell backwards.
"Thanks… "
"No problem..."
"It's you!"
"It's you?"
"Why are you back from the barracks?"
"Why are you dressed like this?"
"I want you to take care of it!"
"I'm your brother, who cares who you are?"
"Hey, hey, stop flattering yourself. When did you ever act like a brother..."
Rong Si rolled her eyes at him. Who else could be standing next to Rong Si other than Rong Feizhou
In front of the two of them, Shao Qingwei was flipping through the poetry collection frantically, muttering, "Impossible... Impossible..."
As he said this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Mu Yuanxiu, tears instantly falling from his eyes. "Some of these are really written by me, and I don't know who wrote the other parts. I think Song Lian may have plagiarized not only my poems, but also those of others, and then classified them according to their styles, completely erasing my existence. This is obviously mine... Royal... Prince, believe me, this is really written by me, this is really..."
Before she could finish her words, Shao Qingwei hadn't even caught her breath when her body suddenly went limp and she fainted, as if she was furious because her hard work had been stolen.
But only Rong Si and she knew that the woman had been pregnant for a month or two. She had been hiding it before because Mu Yuanxiu was childless and was afraid that Yu Fei and her, the imperial concubine, would harm her child. But now she had to reveal it. It didn't matter whether others believed her or not, but Mu Yuanxiu must trust her. As long as she had this child, she could always be involved with Mu Yuanxiu and have the opportunity to get along with him, so that he could pull his heart to her again. This matter of the poetry collection could be washed away later, but if it couldn't be washed away, it would settle first. She also had to build a good relationship with her father and find someone to build a good public opinion foundation. Anyway, those poets and celebrities didn't exist, right? They still had time, and they could really say that everything was her doing. If she was good at crisis public relations, this might even be her advantage.
But the feud between the two of them and the imperial concubine was completely established.
I still say that, I won’t offend others unless they offend me. Rong Si, since you insist on harming me, don’t blame me!
At this time, Mu Yuanxiu still had feelings for Shao Qingwei. When he saw her fall down, he immediately rushed over, picked her up, and rushed out, calling Qingwei's name all the time. He accidentally bumped into Rong Si, who rolled her eyes.
As expected, since ancient times, the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self has always been effective.
But this farce has finally come to an end for the time being.
Liu Ge on the other side finally got his calligraphy, and was so happy that he didn't even care about his front teeth. However, he could only be happy for this time. Mu Yuanxiu couldn't do anything to Rong Si, but it would not be difficult for this little illegitimate eldest son to deal with him. Once Shao Qingwei went back and whispered something in his ear, the good days of this young master would be over.
The man came over with a smile and wanted to thank Rong Si, but after seeing Rong Feizhou standing next to him with a cold face, he gave up the idea. After all, he didn't know Mu Yuanxiu, but he knew General Rong. The man said to fight, be careful or he would lose the few teeth he had left. So he greeted Rong Si from a distance and left happily holding the copy of the calligraphy.
The remaining students in Canghai Building had already started a buzzing discussion at this time. Some were even immersed in the poems they had just read. A few even asked their servants to snatch back two poetry collections from the boy who bought the books at a high price. They were now in a heated discussion. The boy who bought the books disappeared after selling the books, and no one knew where he went, but these poems were all passed down.
It was only after the news spread completely that Shao Qingwei realized where Rong Si's sinister intentions lay. The poems of those poets were more like the portrayal of their lives. The changes in their hearts at each stage of their lives, their experiences, their joys and sorrows, ultimately constituted a complete life. Anyone who has read a little bit of books could probably see that that was some bullshit crisis public relations that could not save her at all, let alone become her advantage.
But that was the follow-up. Now Shao Qingwei was still in a coma. Mu Yuanxiu stood in the hall, and after hearing the congratulations from the imperial doctors, he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
He couldn't take care of Rong Si anymore, and he didn't want to bother her. He also didn't feel like staying with Qingwei. After thinking it over, Mu Yuanxiu just told Shao Qingwei's personal maid to take good care of your noble lady, and went straight to Concubine Yu.
As soon as Mu Yuanxiu left, Shao Qingwei immediately opened her eyes, calmly told the excited Lu Fu to go out first, raised her hand and threw the cup of ginseng tea beside her, "Rong Si! You wait for me!"
On the other hand, Rong Si was pulled out of Canghai Tower by her brother without any explanation by grabbing her arm.
Mu Lianxuan, who witnessed the whole farce, had even more mockery in his eyes. After all, Mu Yuanxiu had overestimated him. He was deceived by such a woman who had neither looks nor talent. Even with such a person, he still regarded him as his opponent. Wasn't it an insult
Ha, idiot!
Mu Lianxuan waved his sleeves and left.
Mu Yichen glanced at Qi Canghai who was sitting opposite him and said with a smile, "Junior brother, thank you for your hard work..."
"It's okay. I'm just taking money from others. It's not my blood that shed the Youjun calligraphy. The struggle between the two brothers of the Mu family is becoming more and more obvious. What are your plans, brother?"
Hearing this, Mu Yichen smiled but did not answer, "The key still lies with Rong Feizhou. Rong Tianpu is old, and sooner or later the Wei army will be handed over to Rong Feizhou."
"Speaking of which, the Rong family is very interesting. I saw that young man in white was so intimate with Rong Feizhou, and his every move was a bit feminine. I think it is very likely that she is the imperial concubine in the palace. I heard that she is extremely favored in the palace. At this time, she actually stood up and slapped Mu Yuanxiu in the face. I think this favor is still very limited! Haha, interesting!"
Thinking of Rong Si, Mu Yichen couldn't help but think of the lotus lantern and the low, gentle and serious voice, and laughed along, "It's very interesting..."
Rong Si, who was being pulled forward by Rong Feizhou, endured for a long time before finally pulling her hand free, and then immediately pushed Rong Feizhou in front of her.
"What do you want to do?"
Because she ran so fast, Rong Si's fan, which she used to show off, fell somewhere.
After saying that, she stepped forward and pushed him again. When she failed to push him, she became even more angry. "It's only been two years since we last met, and you're already acting like your older brother in front of me? I can leave if I want to, why do you need to pull me back?"
"Brother, you are so powerful? Oh, do you know what your current status is? You are not only a married woman, but also a noble concubine in the palace. You used to behave badly before you got married, and now that you are married, you are even worse. You even wore men's clothes, took your little girl out of the palace, and went to places like Canghai Tower where men gather. Do you know what is called a woman's virtue?"
"None of your business!"
"I'm your brother, if I don't take care of you, who will?"
"How come you still know that you are my brother? Then why did you ignore me after our mother died? No matter how I looked for you or teased you, you acted as if I didn't exist. Later, you even went to the military camp without saying a word, and never came back during the holidays. Did I do something wrong? Or is it because you don't like me? We were so good when we were kids, and obviously... obviously... you always listened to me..." As she spoke, Rong Si's eyes immediately turned red.
Yes, as early as before the age of seven, the original owner and Rong Feizhou were very good friends, so good that they were like one person, eating and sleeping together. When Rong Feizhou did bad things, Rong Si would cover for him. When Rong Si did something wrong, Rong Feizhou would take the blame for her and accept the punishment.
All the changes started after their mother, Rong Tianpu's first wife, died. Rong Feizhou seemed to grow up overnight, studying hard and practicing martial arts, and even learned to avoid Rong Si. At first, the little girl was proud that if you ignore me, I will ignore you too. But after a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to find her brother. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the other party never paid attention to her, and even avoided her more and more.
Rong Si's personality also began to change from that time. Since he ignored her after she tried to coax him and beg him, she started to find another way to go against him. If Rong Feizhou liked something, Rong Si would dislike it, and if Rong Feizhou approved of something, she would oppose it.
After doing this for a few years, the relationship between her and Rong Feizhou became increasingly worse, and Rong Si's temper became worse and worse. Just when her temper was at its worst, Mu Lianxuan appeared. She vented almost all the frustration she had with Rong Feizhou on Mu Lianxuan who came uninvited, and even felt that having such a person pestering her was really annoying.
She scolded him, beat him, humiliated him, and used up almost all her abilities, but she failed to drive this shameless man away from her. After the famine in Feicheng, she fell in love with him, and it was out of control. She was deeply involved and unable to extricate herself.
In fact, if Rong Feizhou hadn't changed his expression so quickly, maybe nothing would have happened to Mu Lianxuan.
Because she was concerned about Mu Lianxuan, the original owner no longer talked about her annoying brother. Anyway, they were tired of each other, so it was best if they didn't have to meet.
But Rong Si was not prepared to let their relationship continue to deteriorate. Their past close relationship would only be a breakthrough.
On this side, Rong Si's eyes turned red and she immediately turned her back, not wanting Rong Feizhou to see her crying. Then she reached out and wiped her eyes vigorously, then walked towards the general's mansion not far ahead.
"I will stay at home for the next two days to accompany my father. If you don't like me, you can go to your military camp..." Rong Si said coldly, straightened her back and walked forward, without even looking at the person behind her.
She would not go to the palace. Mu Yuanxiu was probably angry now, so she had no intention of going there to be a punching bag. Besides, Shao Qingwei was pregnant, and who knew if something unexpected would happen. She would stay in the general's mansion for two days and take her brother to reminisce about their childhood.
Rong Si curled her lips in her heart and stepped into the house. She unexpectedly saw a handsome middle-aged man who looked very pleasing to the eye, wearing a black brocade robe, looking at her in surprise, "Rong'er, why are you back?"
"Dad, Rong'er is back to see you. It's so boring in the palace. I want to come back to accompany you..."
Rong Si said coquettishly.
"Nonsense, do the Emperor and the Empress Dowager know that you have left the palace?"
"The Emperor knows, but the Queen Mother doesn't."
"The Queen Mother loves you so much, you have to go and pay your respects immediately after you stay at home for two days, understand?"
"Um!"
Rong Si nodded vigorously, and behind her, Rong Feizhou also walked in.
Rong Si rolled her eyes at him, yawned loudly, exchanged a few words with her father, and went back to her boudoir, which she had kept before entering the palace. As soon as she entered the room, she casually hung the lotus lantern under the eaves of the window, which made it look particularly elegant.
Rong Si had just changed into women's clothes when a sound came from the windowsill.
She turned her head immediately, her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed towards the person happily, "How did you know I was here?"
Who else could the person who came be other than Mu Lianxuan who came to call for punishment
Rong Si didn't seem to feel that she had done anything wrong and was still very happy.
"My people followed you back to the General's Mansion, so I came here..."
"Why did you come to see me? Did you miss me?"
Rong Si put her arms around the other person's waist and asked with a blushing face.
"Why did you leave the palace tonight?"
"It's so boring in the palace. During the Lantern Festival, there were only a few eunuchs and palace maids playing shuttlecock with me. I was so bored, so I took Nianxia and the other two out for a walk!"
Rong Si said with a smile.
"But didn't you tell me that you would stay in the palace?"
"But I'm so bored. You won't blame me for not listening to you, right?" Rong Si raised her head and asked him with a smile.
"Of course not."
"I know you won't blame me!"
"The lanterns are nice, where did they come from?"
"I met a kind person on the road. He helped me win this by answering a question. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Oh? Kind-hearted person... You really don't know that Song Lian?"
"Song Lian? Do you know him too? Were you in Canghai Tower before? Then did you see Mu Yuanxiu's ugly face? It was so funny! But I only saw the little boy who bought the book. I bought it because I thought those poems were catchy. Who knew... Lian Xuan, Lian Xuan, let me tell you, the woman next to Mu Yuanxiu should also be a concubine in the palace, but I don't know her name. I have met her once before, and you saw it tonight too, right? Her face was so interesting. Who asked her to teach me a lesson in the palace? She deserved it!"
"Yeah?"
"Of course. Oh and more, I have to stay at home for the next two days. My brother is coming back. I can't just leave in disgrace when he comes back. I won't do that!"
"Rong Feizhou."
"Yes, it's him. He likes to bully me after my mother died. I hate him the most."
"Okay, you will stay at home for two days and then return to the palace quickly, okay?"
"Um."
"I'm leaving now, take care of yourself."
"Um!"
Rong Si nodded again, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Mu Lianxuan on the cheek, "Be careful on your way."
Mu Lianxuan froze, looked down at Rong Si who was pretending to be shy, nodded, and went out.
Rong Si, who was left behind by him, looked at the lotus lantern with a smile.
Could it be that Mu Lianxuan is running so fast because he is in a hurry to wash his face
Ah.
In the next two days, Rong Si's life could be said to be extremely comfortable, but no matter how comfortable it was, it soon came to an end.
On the third day, Rong Si, who was lying leisurely on a lounge chair in front of the small pond in the back garden, turned her head and caught a glimpse of Rong Feizhou walking straight towards her.
"Aren't you going back to the palace yet?"
Rong Si closed her eyes and didn't look at him.
"I'm talking to you, and you have this attitude?" Rong Feizhou pulled Rong Si up from the recliner.
“Is this your first day meeting me?”
The two looked at each other, neither giving in.
"Pack your things and return to the palace this afternoon. You are already married and are the Imperial Concubine in the palace! How can you face the Emperor if you call your father like this?"
"Do you tube!"
Hearing this, Rong Si twitched her wrist, but it didn't move. She pushed the other person in anger, but she didn't know what she stepped on and she slipped, falling into the pond behind her.
"Ah, brother, help..."
"Xiao Si!"
The other person's anxious and frightened expression was the last image left in Rong Si's mind before she fell into the water.
Again-
Since ancient times, the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self has always been effective.
Two days was enough time for her to prepare everything.
