After rebirth, I made the princes cry

It has been an ancient custom to drink wine from the flowing water of the Qushui River, but now the content of the wine tasting test at the Qushui meeting has been updated based on the ancient custom. Anyone who is interested in participating in the wine test does not have to wait for the wine cup to stop flowing down the river. In order to show off their literary talent in front of them, they wrote poems and poems, and a waiter rolled up the paper, tied it with a green silk ribbon, and put it in a floating basin. The floating basin flowed down the river, and when they arrived at the table of female guests, the maid fished it up. Basin, women can read these poems and poems one by one, pick the one they admire most, and write a new poem that matches the mood of the poem. All poems and poems will be submitted to the "organizer" ——Like today, Xie Jin looked at it in Dazhengzhong.

Xie Jin compiled the top ten poems and poems that received the most poetry into a collection, personally wrote the preface, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor for inspection.

The best poems written by women will also be included in the collection. Dayu is an era that pays great attention to elegance. Not only the talents of men are important, but the outstanding literary talents of women will also be praised by the world. Like Penglai Jun, back then If she hadn't been so talented, she would not have been appreciated by Emperor Sikong Tong, who kept her around and granted her a position such as writing documents.

Although Yingshu was pampered and pampered by her parents, Mrs. Lu did not neglect her daughter's literary upbringing, let alone Yingshu. Even Wang Qing'e, she was not uneducated. In her previous life, Wang Qing'e was Although Chen Jun Xie's girls helped to make the limelight at the Qushui meeting, the Xie family girls cannot be Wang Qing'e's ghostwriters. Wang Qing'e's talent is indeed better than that of many other girls.

Ying Shu's thoughts today are not all about Ying Fu.

She once heard Wansu say that it was at this year's Qushui meeting that she started to pay attention to Sikong Beichen, but Wansu didn't go into details. Yingshu didn't know what happened. Yi had accompanied her to the Shangsi Festival, but she didn't know the details of the Qushui Festival. How did Sikong Beichen attract Wansu's attention, and even made Wansu feel grateful to him? Slowly, this trace of gratitude It turned into love.

Yingshu decided to test it.

"Actually, when I was visiting the garden with my brother and Guisujun just now, we saw Awan and the prince at the mountain pavilion. I even made a bet with Guisujun."

"What bet was made?" Lu Wansu asked curiously.

"Jun Guisu said that the prince and Awan met by chance, but I believe that the prince did it intentionally."

"So what do you mean?"

"I guess the prince wants to cheat." Yingshu said with a smile: "The prince wanted to have his poems and poems compiled into the preface of the Liushang collection, but he has tried hard for so many years without success. I even heard Mrs. Xie say, Even His Majesty is disappointed with the Crown Prince's literary talents. Can the Crown Prince not be impatient? This year happens to be the Fu Examination hosted by Dazhong Zheng himself. The Crown Prince will not miss this great opportunity. Awan, you are a famous talented woman. If the Crown Prince's poetry empowers you, With your appreciation, other girls will also pay attention to it. The prince is looking for friendship with Awantou, right?"

"Sister Ah Shu also thinks that the prince is too utilitarian." Lu Wansu said softly: "The prince did ask me for advice on poetry, but there was no hint of fraud. I believe that sister Ashu also knows the situation of His Highness the Crown Prince. He Being proactive is a strength, not a weakness.”

Wansu is really too kind, and Yingshu is also helpless.

"Let me see, even if the prince is talented, it won't improve his situation at all. If he wants to improve his situation, he must first make up for it by having a strong family." Ying Shu could only point out more clearly. .

Wansu actually nodded thoughtfully.

"What a daughter's family like us can understand, His Highness the Crown Prince must understand. Therefore, if I just said that the Crown Prince approached Awan because he wanted to cheat, it was just a joke."

It means something else.

As a king, it doesn't matter whether she can write good poems or not, but for Lu Wansu, her hobby is literature and poetry. Of course, she hopes that her future husband will have the same interests and hobbies as her. This is the simple beauty of her daughter's family. A small wish, but in fact, whether the marriage is happy and happy, and whether the couple can be compatible are indeed inevitable foundations. To give a very simple analogy-if Yingshu’s mother is a woman who pursues utilitarian power, she will definitely treat Wang Dao How can there be the current harmony among wimps who are unwilling to make progress and accomplish nothing?

Sikong Beichen's desire to marry a girl surnamed Lu was not a sudden idea. Even if it was not planned by Sikong Beichen, it was definitely the idea of ​​Sikong Tong and Queen Yu. That's why Sikong Beichen put great effort into literary and poetic works early on. The reason why I waited until this moment to approach Wansu was because Wansu was about to get her haircut.

"Don't worry, sister, I won't answer the gift today." Wansu added.

Yingshu smiled: "Awan, are you afraid that it will overwhelm me?"

"I didn't mean to offend my sister."

Seeing Wansu blushing, Yingshu smiled brighter: "What's the matter? My literary talent is indeed not as good as yours. Awan is willing to give in to me. I appreciate it. But Xie Liuniang has stopped writing today, and Awanruo is also willing to give in." , what else is interesting about this year’s Liushang Fu Examination?”

Yingshu said this because she didn't think Wansu would pick on Sikong Beichen's poems. Wansu didn't care about many things. For example, she didn't like to compare and show off. When someone provoked her, she was tolerant and tolerant. To embrace. But only for poetry, Wansu would never comment against her true feelings. This stubbornness and persistence remained unchanged when her mother Yi Tianxia was in charge. Once, she got into an argument with Sikong Beichen over commenting on the merits of poetry. .

"If sister really wants me to accept the gift, I won't spare any effort." Wansu still hesitated.

"Mo Liuli, anyway, my Yingfu and Awan's Yingfu were included in this spring's episode sequence. To me, that's the biggest highlight."

The two "new friends" happily decided, but no one else knew about this decision. Of course, Yingshu's every move has always been watched by the other girls who were selected. Like Zhang's daughter, she has already The concubine was regarded as something within easy reach. The only variable was Ying Shu. However, Zhang's foundation in Jiangdong was just a local power. Although he owned a lot of land and private soldiers, he lacked cultural heritage. There was no hope that Zhang's daughter would be able to compete in the imperial examination. Ya Yingshu could only stare at it bitterly.

It was another woman who took the lead.

This woman is also an acquaintance of Ying Shu.

In theory, this woman's family is just a low-ranking family, which can be regarded as an aristocratic family. It once planned to seduce King Langyi, but failed and switched to Changping Zheng. However, this was only a superficial support. Yingshu knew that this Zheng family The girl later became Sikong Beichen's harem.

After the concubine selection order was issued, not all the girls who were selected would become Sikong Tong's concubines. For example, the prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, even Nanci, were actually of marriageable age, so Sikong Tong They will also make plans in advance. Among the selected girls, it is possible that they will be betrothed to the princes as their wives and concubines, but Yingshu is quite special - she is the one chosen by Madam Xie. Without Madam Xie's permission, , even the emperor Sikong Tong cannot make decisions without authorization.

And this daughter of the Zheng family does not belong to the Changping Zheng family. In fact, there is no match between Vayue and Changping Zheng. Even at today's Qushui meeting, Changping Zheng's daughter disdains to have the same surname as this one. While talking, Yingshu didn't even pay attention to this former defeated general.

But it was Zheng Lianzi Shi Shiran who came over and got close to the table where Yingshu and Wansu were sitting. She had a pointed forehead, but her chin was a bit square. She had pretty features and pretty eyes, but she had a nose that was too straight and long, as if her mouth was dangerous. It was like "pushing out" her cheeks, her philtrum was so short, and her expression was very stiff, but at this time, she had to force out a smile, which was really a bit grim.

"I saw Wang Wuniang trying to please Lu Sanniang so much. Could it be that she was planning to persuade Lu Sanniang not to pay her dues today, and in turn, she was going to nudge Wang Wuniang from the side?"

She said this very loudly, and many girls could hear her clearly.

Xie Liu Niang glanced over and thought to herself: What a fool. I really don’t want to talk to such a fool.

You can't keep showing off your prestige. Xie Liu Niang has already kicked off a daughter of the He family today. It will be extremely disappointing if she drinks away Zheng Lianzi again and two daughters who were selected are expelled from the Qu Shui Club. What's more, what Zheng Lianzi said Well, although it was malicious, her attitude was not as arrogant as that of He's daughter. If Xie Liu Niang got angry about this, it would be making a fuss out of a molehill.

Yingshu easily resolved the matter with one sentence: "I am discussing with Sanniang, and we will take care of each other's duties for a while."

Xie Liu Niang then spoke: "Ah Shu shouldn't know this person, right?"

"I really don't know him, I've never seen him before."

"If she hadn't been the chosen daughter, she wouldn't have been able to enter the Huaxi Garden today. She is a girl named Zheng from Du'an, the eldest granddaughter of Zheng Boze."

"It turns out to be Aunt Zheng." Yingshu's smile was quite bright: "I heard what you just said, and I really hope that Lu Sanniang will accept the award. Could it be that she is like me, seeing this rare opportunity today, and can't wait to compete with Sanniang? ?”

"Wang Wuniang misunderstood." Zheng Lianzi's pointed forehead lowered: "How can I have the literary talent to compete with Lu Sanniang? It's because I admire Lu Sanniang's talent so much that I hope to participate in the only Qushui meeting that I was lucky enough to attend. Witnessed Lu Sanniang responding to the ceremony on the spot."

After finishing the conversation in a carefree manner, Yingshu ignored Zheng Lianzi and just stayed at the side of the table. It was not a formal banquet, so there was no need to be restrained. Yingshu was already prepared to see what Zheng Lianzi would do next. While performing, she suddenly thought that Wansu had written poems for this Qushui party in her previous life. However, the world generally thought that it was not surprising that Wansu, a famous and talented woman, wrote better poems and poems than Wang Qing'e. Therefore, even if Wang Qing'e "ranks" in second place, she still stands out.

But Wansu should not steal the limelight from King Langyi's daughter. In other words, in her previous life, there was also an "accident" in which Zheng Lianzi came forward and "forced" Wansu Yingfu.

It's really interesting. It seems that Zheng Lianzi is just a brick. He threw himself out to attract Sikong Beichen to appear.

Yingshu, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Zheng Lianzi's cheek several times. She saw her face flushed with embarrassment, and she seemed to feel very embarrassed at being left out. A woman at this age is really not mature enough, and she will not be as good as the inner court in the future. After encountering so many "tests", Yingshu gradually gained the thickness of a city wall. Yingshu still remembered that Zheng Ronghua, even though he was already one of Sikong Beichen's nine concubines, had once tried to deceive him in order to scheme against He Chaoxi. With He Chaoxi's trust, he was so servile and unyielding in front of He Chaoxi's palace servants, yet he looked so strong.

At that time, Zheng Lianzi would no longer blush with embarrassment at being treated coldly.

Ying Shu dared to make a conclusion that Zheng was not reborn.
