For scholars attending the Qionglin Banquet, the most important thing is to be discovered by nobles, or to make their talents become a blockbuster.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince is a person who cherishes words like gold. When others comment on poems, they have to comment on a few words of meaning and artistic conception. Just like the fourth prince, everyone feels a little lost.
"This is the best." The fourth prince finally finished reading all the poems and put a poem on the table as if he had completed the task. In order to ease the atmosphere, some ministers who were present took this poem and praised it, and after praising it, they realized that it was the work of Zhuang Yuan Lang Hua Changkong.
Hua Changkong's works are different from those of other students. His poems have a bit of borderline atmosphere, and there is a sense of righteousness between the poems. He is like a general on horseback. Even if the enemy is in front, he will not retreat half a step.
"Yao Tanhua's poems are also well written, especially the use of the word Ying is wonderful..."
Seeing these people, the fourth prince regained the atmosphere of rhetoric. He got up and left the table. No one stopped him this time. The officials of the Ministry of Rites just silently escorted him out of the hall and let the prince stay. .
Before returning to his residence, the fourth prince went to see Concubine Lin.
Seeing her son, Concubine Lin smiled a little more on her face: "Are you still happy to get along with those students?"
The fourth prince thought about it, and no one was nagging him, so he was happy.
"In another day, the Hundred State Banquet will be held, and envoys from countless countries will be present. As a prince, you must not be compared by other princes." Concubine Lin read to the fourth prince which countries participated in the banquet, "At this banquet, your father and emperor definitely wanted the prince to make a big splash, but the prince's temper..."
Concubine Lin smiled: "Don't worry, you just need to make sure you don't make mistakes at the banquet. As for the prince, I will deal with it."
Seeing that the mother-in-law kept talking, the fourth prince's eyes began to go blank, pretending that he was the rockery in the yard.
Concubine Lin said a lot of things to pay attention to. After speaking, she took a sip of tea. As a result, she waited for a while, but she frowned without waiting for her son's response
"Ah?" Noticing that the room was quiet, the fourth prince came back to his senses, "Mother concubine, are you finished?"
Concubine Lin said angrily, "Are you listening to what I said?"
The fourth prince stood up: "It's late at night, my son retire."
Concubine Lin clutched her chest and was almost scolded by her own son.
She can't scold or swear, but she is empathetic, gentle and considerate concubine Lin.
After the prince left the palace, he went straight to the East Palace. He didn't expect to meet Xie Consort Xie who entered the palace to ask for his guilt on the way.
Xie Consort staggered on foot, and was barely able to stand still with the help of two servants, but even though he was so embarrassed, his demeanor did not lose half a point.
"His Royal Highness." The concubine Xie asked the servant who was holding him to move out of the way, and respectfully bowed to the prince, "The sinner has seen His Royal Highness."
"It's getting dark, where did the uncle come from?" The prince leaned on the chariot with a smile that was not a smile. In the eyes of others, it was obviously a joke by the concubine Xie.
No one in the palace knew that the concubine Xie went to the palace to plead guilty for the daughter, but His Majesty avoided seeing him. Concubine Xie knelt at the entrance of the Chenyang Palace for several hours, until His Majesty returned from the Qionglin Banquet, and then drove him expressionlessly. Walk
The Xie family taught a daughter who assassinated the prince. Xie's concubine knelt like this, and His Majesty didn't send anyone to send him to let him walk out of the palace with his feet. When others see it, it is both sympathetic and self-examination. Children must be taught well. If they are not taught well and commit a serious crime outside, it will implicate the whole family.
His Majesty, who has always been benevolent, has such a cold attitude towards Consort Xie, which shows how much he has a grudge against Princess Leyang, and it may involve the entire Xie family, and it is not impossible.
It was probably because the concubine Xie was beautiful, and the image of outstanding talent was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, the attitude of pleading guilty was sincere, and not many people suspected that this matter had something to do with the Xie family.
The concubine Xie bowed her hands and said, "The sinner's daughter committed a heinous crime, and the sinner is very uneasy. Before His Majesty fails to forgive the sinner, the sinner is willing to go to Chenyang Palace every day to plead guilty."
"It's unnecessary, the father is a virtuous and wise king, and the uncle is kneeling in the Chenyang Palace every day. He is suspected of deliberately self-mutilating and betraying his father's forgiveness." The prince rubbed the jade bracelet and said slowly, "In this way, you It's sad, and the emperor is even more sad, isn't it a loss for both sides?"
"There is a good idea here, I wonder if my uncle is willing to listen?"
"His Royal Highness, please speak." Xie Consort Xie's knees trembled slightly, looking pitiful. To others, it was just like the scene where the domineering prince oppressed the poor elders.
"Ling Ai sent someone to assassinate Gu, Gu is the most pitiful victim. If my uncle really can't make it through, he can kneel at the gate of Gu's East Palace." The prince felt that his idea was very good, and he gave a high five and said proudly, "Gu has always been a thick face. Yes, uncle, you kneel at will, Gu promises not to chase you. In this way, the father will not be so sad when he can't see you, and you can ease your guilt. Uncle, what do you think of Gu's idea? "
"His Royal Highness has the best of both worlds, and the sinner admires it." Facing the prince's deliberately making things difficult, Xie Consort's expression did not change at all, and he respectfully saluted.
"That's good." The prince smiled contentedly, "Uncle can come earlier tomorrow, the entrance to the East Palace is very spacious, not to mention you can kneel down, even if you come with your aunt and cousin, there are vacancies. The family just needs to be neat and tidy. , it seems sincere, don't you think?"
Xie Consort: "..."
Why did His Majesty set up such a crazy thing to be the prince
"Why doesn't my uncle speak?" The prince frowned, "Do you think Gu is wrong?"
"Your Highness is right."
"Since my uncle also agrees with Gu's words, then it's easy to say. Tomorrow morning, you and your cousin will come early, and Gu will let the eunuch in the East Palace clean up the floors at the door. My aunt is a female class, and she kneels for a long time. No, if she doesn't want to come, forget it." After speaking, the crown prince yawned, "It's not early, I should go back to the palace to rest. When my uncle comes tomorrow, I don't need to say goodbye to me, I get up late. , don't disturb the lonely dream."
"Yes." Consort Xie felt that his good temper for many years seemed to be about to break.
The crown prince likes to watch these people play hard tricks. He likes to kneel for as long as he likes. Anyway, it's not him who suffers from knee pain. But even those who watch the show will care about the actor's acting skills. His uncle's acting skills are very superb.
He likes watching this kind of people play the most.
Xie Consort reluctantly returned to the princess' mansion, looked at her swollen knees, and said to the eldest princess Leyang: "The prince has a vicious mind. If he ascends the throne, he will never protect your elders."
Princess Leyang sneered: "Since he wants me to kneel, then I will kneel and show him. I want everyone in the capital to see clearly how ruthless and ruthless the prince is."
Xie Consort Xie glanced at Princess Leyang, but did not mention that the prince had said that she would be spared from entering the palace to kneel and apologize.
After Princess Leyang fell asleep, Consort Xie put on a robe, rubbed her painful knees, got up and walked outside the yard.
"Concubine." Ah Da knelt down in front of Consort Xie, without daring to lift his head: "Although the humble has entered the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, the Dali Temple is heavily guarded, and the second lady's food has been inspected at various levels. There is no chance to start.”
"Tomorrow is the Hundred State Banquet, and the main staff of Dali Temple will be used for street patrols. You take this opportunity to let her obediently commit suicide." Consort Xie was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that two days had passed, and Ah Da had not yet found the one to start. Chance.
If it weren't for the limited manpower he brought to the capital, the people who were arranged in the suburbs of Beijing, and Xie Yao, that idiot, were all folded into the imperial army, he wouldn't be so stretched now.
As soon as the sky was bright, Hua Liuli received a message from the prince sent by the prince, asking her to go to the East Palace to watch the play.
For the Hundred State Banquet in the evening, the Queen Mother had already agreed with Hua Liuli and asked her to go to Shoukang Palace to dress up during the day, and her old man made a lot of beautiful clothes for her.
It was the same whether it was early or late, Hua Liuli hardly hesitated, and rushed to the palace in a carriage.
"Alas." Hua Yingting looked at the leaving carriage, "The girl can't help her father, Lan Yan is in trouble."
"Early in the morning, what are you doing squatting at the gate, waiting for me to throw bones for you?" Wei Mingyue said blankly, "The younger generation has a good relationship, that's a good thing, don't make trouble."
"I'm not reluctant to give up." Hua Yingting said angrily, "Our family's watery cabbage ran to tease the pigs, and my old father felt a little uncomfortable."
Wei Mingyue was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and went back to the yard.
Hua Liuli didn't know that her old father had a melancholy boyish heart. She walked to the gate of the East Palace and found three people kneeling in unison outside the gate. The one in the middle was Princess Leyang.
What is this playing? The aunt knelt at the door of the nephew.
She coughed dryly, which attracted the attention of the three of them. The young man on the far right raised his head. His appearance was relatively mediocre, but his eyebrows and eyes were a bit like Princess Leyang.
Princess Leyang had been kneeling at the door for less than half an hour, and her knees had already lost consciousness. She never thought that the prince would actually let her kneel at the door for so long.
There is a main palace road outside, and the eunuchs and palace maids who come and go can see her so embarrassed.
Le Yang hated him very much. What she regretted most was that when the prince was still the third prince, he didn't slap him twice.
"I'm sorry." Hua Liuli took out a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth, and looked at Princess Leyang with a blushing face, "I have something to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness and the two of you seem to be blocking my way, can you go to Move to the side?"
Princess Leyang sneered: "The side is so wide, the county master can't get through?"
Hua Liuli sighed: "I have a low status as a servant girl, how can I step past His Highness." After she finished speaking, she supported Iris's hand, walked over the threshold of the East Palace from Xie Consort's side, and stood in the door looking down at them.
"This is Concubine Xie?" Hua Liuli looked at Concubine Xie, who had a pale face but still had the same demeanor in middle age.
It looks so good now, I don't know how beautiful it was when I was young.
Xie Concubine raised her head to meet Hua Liuli's eyes. This kind of clean eyes had also been seen when he was young.
He was lost for a moment, until he saw the prince came out with a group of palace attendants, and then took his eyes back.
"Liu Li." As soon as the prince walked out the door, he saw Hua Liuli staring at Xie Concubine, remembering that Xie Concubine had the unparalleled name when he was young, and his heart was a little subtle.
"His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli walked to the prince's side as usual, as if she was not the one who looked at Xie's concubine's appearance just now, "Why does Her Royal Highness Princess Leyang kneel here?"
"Aunt and uncle often think that they have brought up such a daughter, they can't sleep at night, can't eat during the day, and insist on kneeling down to apologize to Gu." The prince sighed, "No matter how Gu can stop me, I can only follow their wishes. , maybe let them kneel for a few more days, they will feel better."
"So that's the case." Hua Liuli nodded and praised, "Your Highness would rather let outsiders tell you irresponsible things, and also satisfy the wishes of Her Royal Highness. It's really considerate."
Princess Leyang: "..."
Is empathy used for this
"What can Gu Neng do?" The prince shook his head and sighed, "It's all from his own family, so Gu can't just watch them not eat, drink, or sleep, and let them burn out their bodies. For the sake of the health of the aunt's family, the gossip of outsiders does not matter. It doesn't matter, I don't care."
"Alas." Hua Liuli frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, you are always so kind and considerate, and you don't say much when you have suffered grievances. The minister's daughter is very uncomfortable."
"It's okay, don't care, don't take it to heart." The prince comforted Hua Liuli in a low voice.
Looking at these two people who were both excellent in singing and writing, Princess Leyang was disgusted enough.
These two little sluts are so good at acting, why don't they go to the stage and sing a big show
