What a young man...
Chie snickered in her heart, feeling quite emotional.
Subconsciously, he recalled that when he was Koch's age, he once felt that the young master he had a crush on was unique, unmatched, and had no flaws.
But then after entering the palace and growing up rapidly in the day-to-day battles, the youthfulness of this naive and ignorant time quickly faded away, and I no longer felt that anyone was impeccable and pure.
She suddenly had a lot of affection for Koch. If in the past it was just because of Koch's identity and the fact that his mother-in-law needed him, she was particularly tolerant and attentive to him, now it was out of goodwill towards Koch himself.
So he softened his voice a little and said softly: "So, Master, do you think you are perfect?"
Koch blushed suddenly.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about this poem today...
"Isn't that what it is?" Chie continued to persuade, "Your Highness was raised by my mother-in-law, so I never expected to find a prince-in-law who is as outstanding as Your Majesty in all aspects. Although the young master is slightly inferior in literary talent, but in other aspects Is this place useless and has nothing worthy of your Highness and my mother-in-law’s respect?”
Koch suddenly became anxious: "Of course not!"
"So what are you anxious about, Master?" Chie pursed his lips and smiled, looking at him encouragingly, "Although the people who just won on the issue of Concubine Shu have their own advantages, Master came from a high family, so my grandfather..."
She casually boasted a few words about the ancestors of the Ke family, and finally said, "There is no son in the general family. My mother-in-law has been waiting for Mr. Ke's talents for a long time."
"In this case, the young master must make things worse now. Not to mention the tacit understanding, if you break it rashly, it will only make the front and back palaces feel that you cannot afford to lose. Even the empress and your highness, how can they not feel that you can't afford to lose?" , Young Master is getting angry because of shame?"
In short, one hints to Kohe that he still has a chance, and the other euphemistically threatens you that if you continue like this, it will only be counterproductive, making our Princess Zhaoqing hate you even more, and even directly exclude you from the selection of the consort... Kohe thinks about it. Go, and retreat quickly in the end. Not only did he promise to release the people who were blocked immediately, but he also begged Chihe with a downcast eyebrow. Later, when he went to the imperial concubine and Zhaoqing, he would definitely help and say more nice things, and he decided There is no one he can't afford to lose, it's just that he comes from a general background and doesn't know all the twists and turns...
Of course Chie agreed immediately, and after a few words of comfort, he went back to report to Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by Kohe's choice. He just smiled and asked, "You just convinced him one person, so how did he convince the others?"
"After Mr. Ke returned, he told those people in public that he had brought this matter to the ladies, and the ladies had already recorded the person." Chie covered his mouth and smiled, "Just so as not to offend everyone. For the time being, let’s ignore their interest and let them all leave first. When today’s literary meeting is over, someone will naturally argue with them.”
"Isn't this like an idea he could come up with on his own?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows as he listened.
Sure enough, Chie said: "It was Mr. Yin Chunyan who gave him the idea. When Mr. Ke was called out by the maid just now, he followed behind."
The concubines: "..."
The queen was a little overwhelmed and said: "This Yin Chunyan... I remember that when Wen Hui was still there, he never acted like this?"
"Don't talk about Concubine Wen Hui." Concubine De said happily, "Not even the Seventh Prince is like this... The Seventh Prince is not like Duan Fang."
So, what was wrong with the Yin family's feng shui that gave birth to such a lazy boy
"This kid is really brave." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "Just now, he fabricated words to deceive Yun Tao, and now he is using our name to intimidate his opponents?"
You know, even if there are some anxious and worried children among the people who came to the banquet today, how can they be calm at this age
I had just won a game on Concubine Shu with the support of my family, but I was blocked by Ko He. How could I not feel uneasy when I heard this again? So even their family has guessed the next question about the concubine and the queen. They are so confused, how can they perform well
Even for those who are timid, it is not impossible to simply be too frightened to use the cheat sheet.
This Yin Chunyan has really bad intentions.
Yun Fenghuang felt for a moment that this boy and Prince Jin probably had something in common...
They are all the kind of bosses who appear to be smiling and talkative, but are actually full of bad intentions.
"We can't let him act like this again and again." The queen frowned and said, "Let's clarify it personally."
"Mother, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Yun Fenghuang reminded after hearing this, "The reason why we asked Ke He to settle the matter just now was because we were afraid of disturbing the cultural meeting. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to clarify it now? Besides, Yin Although Chunyan's move has added variables to the cultural meeting, it also helps us evaluate the choices of those people under heavy pressure."
Gu Zhen said disapprovingly: "Isn't this unfair to them?"
"Mother, is it fair for these people to win?" Concubine De gave her support, "Do you think, after all, they don't rely on the family's staff? On their own, I'm afraid they are not even as good as Mr. Ke! Now they are being Yin Chunyan's fear of the fox pretending to be a tiger is also justified."
Gu Zhen glanced sideways at her and said calmly: "Don't forget that your niece is also here."
There were both men and women among the people Zhaoqing praised just now. Of course, Kohe was targeting the male guests.
Among the female guests, the two members of the "Three Talented Girls of the Imperial Capital" who were highly praised by the princess were not left out.
Zhaoqing specially selected two lines of Wei Shuhan's poem to be recited in public to show appreciation.
At this moment, when the Queen brought it up, Concubine De blushed slightly, but said confidently: "Although my niece is a bit more public, she has always been fascinated by poetry."
Anyway, the imperial concubine sister is right here. If I mess up by talking back, the imperial concubine will help to deal with the aftermath...
With this thought in mind, she added, "Just now I heard that two of the male guests have never participated in poetry gatherings. How can they be of this level?"
Although my niece’s talent is limited, at least she works hard!
It's not like some people who can't even pretend well!
So my niece still deserves praise!
Concubine De thought so.
The queen laughed angrily: "Really? So you really think that Wei Shuhan is worthy of the limelight in the imperial capital now? In this case, I will summon her here now to take a test of one or two in school? I won't be embarrassed either. Your aunt and nephew. As long as she comes and I give you the question in person, and her level is 60% of that of the lotus chant just now, I will recognize her as the first of the three talented women!"
"Your Majesty, please stop joking, the cultural gathering is still going on." Concubine De said sarcastically, "If I call Shuhan over now, won't I be disturbing the children?"
"Then wait until the literary conference is over. I have a lot of free time these days." Gu Zhen looked over with sharp eyes, "Please tell me when your niece is free."
Concubine De looked at the imperial concubine for help.
Yun Fenghuang coughed dryly and said: "Why do you need to vent your anger on a child? Concubine De has no other intention. She just feels that it would be pointless to interrupt midway at this point. Why don't we just let them continue. We have agreed before. Yes, we don’t just plan to hold this banquet. Speaking of which, today is just a rough idea. Is it worthy of our seriousness? After all, we are all elders, so we can only talk about children if we don’t have any. The young man was so upset that he started making trouble on his own over trivial matters."
She personally came forward to smooth things over, and the queen had to give her some face... mainly because it was too noisy.
At this moment, he said solemnly: "Everything depends on you, right?"
The words were said in an unpleasant tone, but the tone revealed that he intended to settle the matter.
Yun Fenghuang then coaxed a few words: "What the Queen said, you are the master of the Sixth Palace, and the concubines are just concubines. How can you rely on the concubines for everything? You should rely on the Queen. Yes. But since the empress has brought her concubines here, she obviously wants them to help with the details. You also know the character of Concubine De, she is the most straightforward person, and she obviously wants to help. You are making suggestions, which makes you unhappy."
He urged Concubine De to admit her mistake to the queen.
Concubine De stood up obediently and blessed Fu, so the matter passed.
It seemed that the queen had the upper hand, but she felt uncomfortable. After all, things were ultimately done according to the wishes of the noble concubine De Fei.
This situation didn't happen once or twice. To be honest, the queen felt extremely aggrieved. The key was that she couldn't think of any way to break the situation...
Just as she was feeling extremely depressed, she saw the guests were returning to their seats one after another. Seeing that the light was almost there, Princess Zhaoqing also took Princess Jinxi and others out of the monastery where they were resting at the back, returned to the table, and looked around. Circle, feeling that about half a dozen people have arrived, Fang smiled and announced that the banquet would continue.
After saying a few polite words as usual, Princess Jinxi and the second princess took turns singing a few words to make the atmosphere more relaxed, and the princess picked up the third tip bag.
The banquet was filled with breathless concentration.
After all, most people knew before going to the banquet that at this moment, the people paying the most attention here must be the queen and the noble concubine.
As for the four tips, Concubine De and Concubine Shu all looked like they were having soy sauce on their butts, and they did not dare to overwhelm them.
Now the question of the imperial concubine and the question of the queen behind her are the real meat of the drama.
Those who just came here to join in the fun and who knew they had no chance were fine. The others were all very alert, fearing that they might miss a word by mistake and miss the opportunity to marry an heir of the Tian family. Chance!
Looking down from Zezhi Tower, Koch was particularly nervous and cautious.
His posture was upright and his eyes were bright. The hand that was picking up vegetables suddenly froze in mid-air in an extremely unnatural posture.
But Koch himself didn't notice it at all. He could only look at Zhao Qing, who was in the first seat, with focused and burning eyes.
