The streets of the capital are full of women with flowers in their hands, and the lively streets are even more crowded.
"Come! Come!" I don't know who screamed, and everyone saw that under the opening of the Royal Forest Army, there were two young men on two tall horses in the middle protected by the Royal Forest Army. People are this year's champion of civil and military affairs.
Because he is the champion of civil and military affairs, he needs to circle the capital under the protection of the imperial army, and then enter the palace in the evening to attend the palace banquet and get a reward. And the champion of civil and military is also because this day can make a steady progress. In previous years, the champion of civil and military has many officials and sons, and although women love it, they still have a little distance. But this year's champions of civil and military affairs are all children of ordinary people's families, which makes many people see hope that they are more grateful to the imperial court for the prince, and those women of ordinary families also have longing for longing. The princes and the others can't afford to climb high, but what about the champions of civil and military affairs who also came from a cold background
At this time, women in the capital ran to see the champion of civil and military affairs, and kept throwing flowers in their hands at the young man sitting on the tall horse, which was an expression of love.
Although the champion of civil and military affairs was very nervous, it was the first time he met such an enthusiastic woman and a serious garrison, but the excitement of standing out made them smile at each other, nodding and smiling at the women, causing bursts of screams.
However, some rumors circulating in the teahouses and restaurants at this time surprised the people more than this champion of civil and military affairs.
I don't know when it started, but it began to spread in the capital that Shang Wuxin, the prince of Shang Kingdom, was a broken sleeve, and the left minister lived in the prince's mansion every day. , For a while, the discussion in the capital was divided into two polarities.
Some stubborn commoners felt that the prince was treacherous and should be deprived of the prince's position and sent to prison. What the prince did this time was the misfortune of the country, and it was an intolerable humiliation. It was a loss of their national prestige.
However, there are many people who still support the prince, although the fact that the prince has a broken sleeve makes many people unacceptable. But the prince has done so many things for the people. The people still remember that they don't know what the state is, and they don't know what the court is. They only know that it is the prince who can truly save them from misfortune and fire for the people, and the left minister is even rarer The good minister, even if the two of them are broken sleeves, many people find it unexpectedly harmonious.
At this time, Shang Wuxin had already come to the palace. Of course, he knew very well about the rumors outside the palace, and Huan Moche also knew about it.
"Xin'er, the rumors this time are very strange. It seems to be aimed at you on purpose!" Emperor Shang had a headache when he saw the daughter who was enslaving himself in his bedroom and enslaved his father to review the memorial, even if he retreated behind the scenes These days are still not easy, my daughter is really worth being lazy.
Shang Wuxin sat on the bright yellow chair that originally belonged to the emperor, and he had absolutely no respect for the emperor and ministers.
"Since I know that it is deliberately targeting Erchen, Erchen accepts it, but it is just a rumor. Erchen is not weak enough to be hit by a rumor. This rumor is also good, otherwise, does Erchen really want to marry one. When the woman goes back, I'm afraid that the basket will be even bigger!" Shang Wuxin was uncomfortable, and actually lay down on the large chair, his lazy appearance was completely irrelevant to the prince who was cleaning up in front of that person.
Emperor Shang looked at his daughter, who was sitting or sleeping, and felt pity for a while. A woman pretended to be a man and had to endure such rumors. In the end, she was sorry for this daughter. Whenever she saw this daughter, Emperor Shang couldn't explain why. It will be so distressing, that kind of father's heart is always easily hooked by his daughter. He used to think that it was because his daughter was born with the woman he loves the most, of course he loves him, but now the more he understands this daughter, he loves him. The heart of the loving father is more serious.
"Since you've already made up your mind to be a father, don't say anything, but Xin'er, if you can, find a man you can rely on. It's always hard to be a father when you look so cold and alienated! People! , having power but being alone is the most terrifying thing!" Emperor Shang advised. In fact, in private, Emperor Shang did not know how many portraits of the sons of noble families he had seen and investigated how many outstanding men in the world, but in the end he found out that it seemed that all the outstanding men in the world knew their daughters, but looking at the daughter's ignorant appearance, Emperor Shang did not know what was behind him. How much sigh.
Shang Wuxin covered his ears. Today, as long as he enters the palace to see his father, there will be endless words. He asks him to find a man. It's the feeling that Vice wants to sell herself. Thinking about the few men around him, whether it was Han Xuanhao, who had a relationship, or Leng Yufeng, who was quite fond of him, Nangong Qian, who left traces in his heart because of his domineering, and Huan Moche, who made him complicated and didn't know how to deal with it. , There is also Ye Yizhe who has no feelings at all, Shang Wuxin feels that men are indeed more difficult to deal with than women, if he really finds a man, he is afraid that it will be another bloody storm.
"Your Majesty, my son knows it!" Shang Wuxin looked at Emperor Shang and seemed to want to stop the brainwashing quickly. "When things are almost over, if you meet a suitable man, you will definitely bring it to your father to see, okay?" When Shang Wuxin talked about the right man, he suddenly thought of Han Xuanhao's face. He really was a "good wife and good mother".
"Really?" Emperor Shang became interested. "My father has already selected a few suitable ones for you...hey...you can leave!" Emperor Shang looked at his daughter who walked out of his bedroom, puzzled for a while, "Eunuch Xu, What do you think of Zuo Xiang's heart?"
Eunuch Xu bowed and stood there, being irrational about Emperor Shang's encounter with the crown prince, as if his attitude had changed from being frightened at the beginning to the present, Eunuch Xu said with a smile, "The prince is beautiful, if the prince can It is a blessing to see Lord Zuo Xiang!"
Sure enough, Emperor Shang felt relieved when he heard Eunuch Xu complimenting his daughter, and nodded again and again, "That's right, my daughter is not only beautiful, but even a man in the world can't match this skill. Although Zuo Xiang is also a very noble man, But compared to my daughter, hum!"
Shang Huang's heart is actually extremely satisfied with Huan Moche. He is beautiful, capable, and loyal enough. The most important thing is that Shang Huang has already investigated clearly that Huan Moche is very clean around him. If such a person is himself His son-in-law, Emperor Shang felt very relieved, but thinking of his own daughter, Huang Huang, continued to sigh, other people's daughters are all budding when they are old, so why is his own daughter like an ice sculpture.
When Shang Wuxin walked out of Emperor Shang's bedroom, he saw Huan Moche standing there waiting for him, with an elegant and tall figure, and his extremely noble, meticulous and perfect facial features. Rumo's hair flutters slightly behind him, like an exiled immortal stepping on the moon. He stared at her with both eyes, and there was a star-like brilliance in his eyes, so intoxicated, so blurred, that people were unconsciously intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"Wuxin!" Huan Moche said, but a name came from his mouth, but there was a sense of incomprehension.
Every time Shang Wuxin came to see Emperor Shang in the palace, if Huan Moche was free, he would always accompany him. Because the two were father and daughter, Shang Wuxin wanted to hide their female identity, so whenever Shang Wuxin entered the palace of Emperor Shang, Huan Moche would always stand outside the palace and wait and never felt anxious. I remember one time Shang Wuxin fell asleep in Emperor Shang's bedroom. Of course, Emperor Shang would not wake up his daughter when he was distressed. When Shang Guo woke up, it had been half a day, and Huan Moche also stood outside the bedroom for half a day. half a day. Later, Shang Wuxin listened to Wuwei and said that Huan Moche stood there for half a day, doing his duty more than a dark guard, until he saw the prince coming out, Huan Moche's eyes lit up.
Shang Wuxin nodded, maybe habit is really a scary thing, once she was not surprised every time she waited for Moche, but now she takes it for granted.
Huan Moche looked at Shang Wuxin, who looked the same, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. He believed that Shang Wuxin must know about the rumors outside the palace, but when he knew it, there was nothing to stop Huan Moche from understanding Shang Wuxin's mind. It was rumored that the two of them were tied together, and Mo Che was secretly imagining that he was happy, and he felt that he had been marked with a sadness. However, he was worried that such rumors would make Shang Wuxin unhappy and alienate him, which would be too much of a loss.
"The rumors from the outside..." Huan Moche hesitated. "Do you need Mo Che to tell them to deal with them?" Even if I hope that the rumors will put the two together, Huan Moche will be more aware of the seriousness of the matter, if it is because of this matter The reputation of the prince is damaged, and it will be difficult to ascend to the throne in the future. This is definitely not acceptable.
"No, it's not a rumor that I like men!" Shang Wuxin sighed, although she had experienced such a thing in her previous life, it's normal for Shang Wuxin to know her sexual orientation. Although she doesn't believe in love, if it's true in the future Marriage is also a man, definitely not a woman.
But it was different when I heard this in Huan Moche's ears. Huan Moche took it for granted that Shang Wuxin's sleeves were broken or that he was bent by himself. On the one hand, he felt that his chances were much higher. This was said by Shang Wuxin himself. On the other hand, for Han Xuanhao, who moved Shang Wuxin, Huan Moche was grateful and wanted to beat him up.
When Shang Wuxin and Huan Moche came to the Taiji Hall after finishing their work, the sky was already dark, and today there are not only the champions of civil and military affairs in red robes, but also the women in the boudoir who are flamboyant and fragrant. Knowing that today is the day when the prince chooses his concubine, no matter what the rumors are, which official does not want to send his daughter to the prince's mansion, even if he is not favored, he will have a bright future in the future.
"Prince is here!" The eunuch's voice sounded, making everyone quiet down. You must know that at this moment, the most honorable person in the court of Shang Emperor is the prince.
Shang Wuxin wears a purple-gold crown inlaid with a bunch of hair on his head, and wears a crescent-colored dress with gorgeous patterns embroidered with blue silk. His face is like a peach and apricot, and his posture is elegant. , as attractive as crystal beads, but the cold air around him makes people unconsciously retreat a few steps.
Shang Wuxin nodded and walked directly to the top position. Even the concubine who came to the palace banquet today sat down, and there was a seat on the left side of Shang Wuxin's position near the hand, and that position It's phantasmagoric.
Huan Moche looked a little strange at this position, but he still sat up. Shang Wuxin looked at Huan Moche who was sitting beside him and looked at the eyes of various people below, showing a playful smile.
"The champion of civil and military affairs?" Shang Wuxin said with a smile.
Fang Dongqing, the champion of Wen in red robes, and Wang Huisong, champion of Wu, in red robes, quickly stood up from the table and went to the middle of the hall to salute, "I see the prince!"
"Not bad!" Shang Wuxin exaggerated, the literati have the character of the literati, and the warrior has the dignity of the warrior. The two did not disappoint themselves, and they must be a clear stream in the court in the future.
"Prince Miao Zan!" The two were so respectful that they didn't even lift their heads. In a way, the prince was their Bole. How could their family come to participate in the imperial examination? It was the prince who changed their fate.
Shang Wuxin nodded, "Fang Dongqing, the champion of Wen, will appoint Lang Zhong, and Wang Huisong, the champion of Wu, will appoint Sima from now on. I hope that the two will remember their duties as officials in the future, and be good officials who serve the people and the country!"
The two of them were given such high official positions at once, and while the two were happy and excited, they were deeply grateful, "I will keep the prince's orders in mind!"
"Prince, is it inappropriate for the champion of civil and military affairs to have such a high official position without ever entering the court?" An official stood up, knowing that these two positions were left vacant by the two officials who were recently killed by selling the imperial examination questions. I don't know how many officials want to fill these two positions, but they didn't expect to be cut off by the two airborne people.
"What's wrong?" Huan Moche stopped these people from making things difficult for them. "This son has never entered the court and turned into a left minister. Is this adult dissatisfied with this son? Or is he dissatisfied with the prince's decision?"
"I don't dare to be an official!" The official was in a cold sweat, not expecting that the Zuo Prime Minister would be so aggressive.
"It's fine if you don't dare!" Huan Moche smiled warmly like a noble son, "Prince is diligent in government and loves the people, what we should do as courtiers is to obey the prince's decision, not to find happiness for the prince all day, and hope Distinguish the officials!" This is a warning and a kind of protection!
Everyone knows that Zuo Xiang is the prince's faction, but watching Zuo Xiang sitting next to the prince at the moment, and the rumors in the market, make everyone look at the prince and Zuo Xiang's eyes not pure.
"The prince promised to choose a concubine today, so let these women perform one by one. The prince should choose a side concubine first!" Qi Houye stood up and said to the prince.
"allow!"
Shang Wuxin's word "quasi" made Huan Moche's heart tighten. He felt that since the prince admitted that he was a broken sleeve, why did he choose a concubine, and after thinking about it, Huan Moche understood again, whether the prince was the prince with broken sleeves or not. I need a prince concubine, and a queen needs children in the future, and even if I am in the eyes of the prince, I am afraid that I am just a person who can't see the light. I feel sad when I think about Huan Moche, but I still don't want to let go, but I think if there is any The woman really wanted to seduce the prince, and he absolutely couldn't tolerate it.
Although those women had also heard the rumors in the market, they still despised the prince at the beginning. But now seeing the unparalleled prince sitting there, thinking of the prince's intelligence and power, a few of these women are not tempted.
These ladies looked soft and weak, but each had their own strengths in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Shang Wuxin was interesting to watch, but Huan Moche, who was sitting beside her, was looking at fire, and the smiling peach blossom eyes looked at those women with The killing intent made some women feel a little scared.
But there are always some women who want to step forward without fear, and this is not the case...
