system of princes and generals

Chapter 123 The Eve of the Competition
Qiaoer's round face was full of puzzlement. She wanted to get some answers from Princess Rong'an, but she just turned her head and saw the princess' expression, Qiaoer understood everything.

She was right, Mr. Huo's poem was really for the Princess, and she confessed to the Princess in front of everyone.Especially, there is His Majesty present.

What kind of deep feelings made Mr. Huo make such a move.

Qiaoer is happy for the princess, and she is also happy. When she thinks that Mr. Huo will become the county horse in the mansion in a short time, she feels a little excited, and she doesn't like Chang'an. After the princess and Mr. Huo get married, they can go back to the North The Marquis of Changming was closed.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Huan Wuping's promotion is indeed well deserved, and there is no doubt about it, but he is becoming less and less confident.

After Emperor Wu left, some of the ministers in the stands also left together, some were busy flattering Huo Guang, and some left deep resentment, but they couldn't do anything except look at them with resentment. Zhang Liqing and his ilk.

When Emperor Wu returned to the palace, Liu Sheng followed him closely, being careful all the way, for fear that Emperor Wu would lose his temper due to a sudden incident at the end of the game.

The strange thing is that Emperor Wu was always in a good mood, Fang Shuren's nonsense didn't seem to take his heart, and he was completely thrown aside.

It wasn't until Emperor Wu stepped into the hall that Liu Sheng let go of his heart. It was said that Liu Sheng was most afraid of some ignorant masters appearing on such occasions. When Emperor Wu lost his temper, Liu Sheng was really frightened.

Liu Sheng chuckled in his heart, this Huo Guang really has a way, the plain poems on the surface, but hidden secrets, His Majesty is in a happy mood, and even Fang Shuren's nonsense doesn't disturb his good mood. I have served His Majesty for so many years, and I may not be able to do this To please His Majesty but to be watertight.

Liu Sheng bowed and stood beside Emperor Wu, secretly glanced at Emperor Wu's expression, saw His Majesty was still smiling, he knew what the Emperor was thinking.

Liu Sheng said tentatively, "Today, this old servant was also sweating. I didn't expect Mr. Huo to come up with such a strange move. If it weren't for His Majesty's insightful eyes, this old servant would not be able to read the mystery even if he watched it a hundred times."

"Of course you don't understand. This is a hidden acrostic poem, but Huo Guang also has intentions. He even added Rong An's baby name into it, and even publicly expressed his love for Rong An. This kid really cares about Rong An."

Liu Sheng really didn't understand the meaning of this poem at first, but when he saw the shy expression of Rong An standing in the audience, he read the poem again, and he understood everything. Serving Emperor Wu for so many years, it was considered as watching. When Rong An grew up, he naturally knew that Rong An's baby name was Qiu Xiang.

The thing that Emperor Wu is most concerned about recently is Princess Rong An's marriage. He thought that Rong An was just unrequited love, so he was naturally worried about her. After all, it is one thing to be able to marry the man he likes, but it doesn't matter which man he wants. It's another thing to like yourself, and be willing to marry her and treat her well for the rest of your life.

There are naturally couples who respect each other as guests, but they always lack a little warmth.

Liu Sheng continued, "Mr. Huo has a heart, and Princess Rong'an will be blessed in the future."

This sentence is the best to take advantage of Emperor Wu's wishes, nothing is more important than Princess Rong'an's happiness.

But there is still a thorny problem, that is Huan Wuping, the essays written by this kid in this competition are unmatched, and Huo Guang's victory is also because of his surprise. Still not quite sure.

Emperor Wu frowned when he thought of this, the next match was a palace test, although there were no common people watching the match, there would be a group of people that Emperor Wu didn't want to see.

He sighed for a long time. When Huan Wuping asked for the imperial examination yesterday, he hoped that he could bring the Japanese embassy to watch it no matter whether he was promoted or not. Emperor Wu refused in his heart, but Huan Wuping's excuse was good. They were for learning Han culture.

The Japanese diplomatic mission came to Chang'an with the slogan of learning from the big man. They wanted to watch a Biwen contest, and Emperor Wu really had no reason to hide it from watching. Therefore, no matter what happens in tomorrow's game, he must Handle impartially, and there can be no favoritism in winning or losing.

Liu Sheng's gaze was fixed on the change of Emperor Wu's expression. In this palace, no one knew what the emperor was thinking better than Liu Sheng. If we use a metaphor, then he is the roundworm in Emperor Wu's stomach.

Liu Sheng suppressed the smile on his face, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Mr. Huo has ever disappointed His Majesty since he went out to conquer the Huns? Didn't you always turn danger into safety by taking surprises?" Liu Sheng observed for a while. Emperor Wu's expression.

Emperor Wu's eyebrows stretched a little. Looking back on Huo Guang's various deeds before, without exception, he was impressed. At the beginning, things that he thought were extremely unreliable, as long as Huo Guang participated, they would definitely go on the track of success. This is why Emperor Wu would do this. Appreciate Huo Guang.

Liu Sheng saw that Emperor Wu's expression softened a little, and it seemed that what he said had an effect, so he continued, "So, Your Majesty, you must believe that Mr. Huo will win tomorrow's competition, not for anything else, even for Rong'an Princess, he will try his best to win the second prince of the Wa Kingdom, won't he?"

After Liu Sheng's words, Emperor Wu's heart was completely dropped, and he was only waiting for tomorrow's match. Huo Guang would never lose to Huan Wuping.Thinking of Huan Wuping's steadfast appearance before, he felt ridiculous, maybe he had never thought about it, there are people outside of people, and there are mountains outside mountains.

The bustling streets of Chang'an City returned to their usual bustle. After watching the game, the common people rushed to do business before dark, and the items to be purchased were fully prepared.

Huan Wuping and Fujiwara walked on the street one after the other.

From time to time, Fujiwara slipped to a certain booth to glance at novelties that he hadn’t seen before. In fact, he had never seen most of them. In the past, the second prince always said that he wanted to learn from the big man. He didn’t know what to learn, but now he finally realized something. The doorway, these little gadgets, you should study hard, and there are countless delicious food, you should learn everything, as for Wenhua, he doesn't understand, so let those who understand learn it.

Along the way, Huan Wuping's expression was very dignified. In the past, when Fujiwara wandered around like a child, Huan Wuping would follow him, but today he just walked forward on his own, without paying attention to Fujiwara's actions at all.

Although Fujiwara was a rough man, he could still sense whether the master was in a good mood or not. He hurried a few steps to catch up with Huan Wuping and said, "Second Prince, what's on your mind?"

Huan Wuping frowned, "It's nothing."

Fujiwara seemed to remember something, and said, "Are you worried about tomorrow's game?"

PS: Tomorrow is the weekend, today will be dark, turn off the lights and go to bed, have a good weekend~~ But the handicapped rabbit will work hard to code, and I owe a debt just after it was put on the shelf, and there is no one else, huh

　I recommend a book "Emperors of the Late Han Dynasty", which has a more historical sense, and you can read it if you like it.
