The male concubine of the violent son
Chapter 44 My Royal Concubine Is Happy (1)
In Li Mansion, there was a steady drizzle under the porch, which wet half of the flower and tree porch.
Li Feiluan was standing on the porch, wearing a water-blue skirt and a light blue shawl, she reached out to reach for an early peach blossom under the drizzle.
The pink flower buds are covered with crystal drops of water. The flowers are not in bloom, but they are so delicate and beautiful that the springtime in the garden is eclipsed.
Li Feiluan is like an innocent girl, but her words are like a sharp blade of ice: "The flowers in my yard are not blooming well and need to be fertilized. If you tell half a lie, I will chop you up. Come and fertilize my flowers."
The big pancake-faced man standing on the porch panicked and lowered his head, and said respectfully, "If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death. The current imperial concubine is really a man...he will His name is Ran Qinggu, and that year during the Lantern Festival, he helped his cousin guess all the lantern riddles correctly..."
Thinking of this, the man gritted his teeth secretly.
He is a well-known scholar in Beicheng. People in Beicheng call him Zhang Dacai. He has been the Lantern Riddle King of Beicheng for five consecutive years.
In the whole North City, there is no one who is his opponent when it comes to guessing lantern riddles and reciting poems.
Although he failed several times in the scientific examination, he still lived up to his talent.
But that year during the Lantern Festival, a mysterious person appeared, and he fell off the horse.
It was a man in white, his body was completely white, and he covered his lips and coughed from time to time in the biting cold wind.
He obviously looked so weak and helpless, but the strength of his body made Beifeng bow down.
Standing under the dim light, he calmly and calmly helped his cousin guess one lantern riddle after another.
No matter how difficult the lantern riddle was, no matter how many riddles gave the guessers a headache, he could tell it right away with just a glance, without any mistakes or hesitation.
Every time he said a word, his cousin applauded wildly with a maid, and even dared to laugh at himself as an idiot.
In the end, he won the lantern riddle guessing crown for his cousin that year.
Later, he went to the poetry meeting at the Moon Tower in the North City.
Although he never showed up, as soon as he saw Bai Yu and the poems written by Bai Yu, he knew that the man had gone.
Bai Yu took those poems and laughed at him for being arty and pedantic, no wonder he failed to win every time.
It was also because of this that he, who had been in office for five consecutive years, was scolded as an idiot and became a bereaved dog.
He had never been humiliated like that day.
He secretly swore that he would go back with a test and show those people in Beicheng, who is the idiot?
He came to Kyoto this time also for this year's scientific examination.
But he didn't expect that in the market, he met the man disguised as a woman, and also met Li Feiluan by accident.
After inquiring carefully, he found out about the grievances between Li Feiluan and Prince Cheng's son.
And the sick and weak young man turned upside down and became the concubine of the world, and he didn't expect that person to offend Li Feiluan.
Who is Li Feiluan, the legitimate daughter of Li Xiang.
As long as he solves Li Feiluan's worries and problems, won't he be the number one scholar this year?
Li Feiluan smiled like a flower: "My father is in charge of all civil servants, and even the Minister of Rites is his student. If you can do this for me, it will be in your own interest."
Zhang Xiucai, a man with a big pie face, quickly thanked: "Thank you miss, don't worry, miss, I will definitely not let that thief deceive you. As long as the miss needs, the young one will naturally go through fire and water for the miss, and die."
The rain was a bit heavy, and most of Li Feiluan's cuffs were wet.
She withdrew her hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant girl and wiped her hands.
At this time, the spring breeze blew, and the painting hanging in the corridor was shaky.
click.
The painting fell to the ground, and the wind and drizzle fell on the painting, and the ink on the painting quickly blurred...
The person in the painting is Ran Qinggu.
He was wearing a blue skirt, white gauze and silk, dignified and elegant, with picturesque features.
Li Feiluan stepped on the painting.
The eyebrows of the person in the painting under his feet are still clear.
She crushed it hard with her feet, and the painting was instantly crushed by the shoes and torn apart.
Still puzzled, she kicked the painting and kicked it into the pond under the corridor. She didn't smile until the face of the person in the painting gradually became blurred.
Who would have thought that the princess concubine who haunted Prince Cheng was actually a counterfeit, or a man...
In the past month, she found someone to investigate Ran Qinggu, and even went to Beicheng personally to ask about the situation with this painting.
Although there were very few people who had seen Ran Qinggu, one person who had delivered charcoal fire to Bai Guogong's old house insisted that the person in the painting was Ran Qinggu, the cousin of the Shizi Concubine.
This person said exactly the same thing as Zhang Xiucai, and this person has nothing to do with Zhang Xiucai.
She even asked Gu You to help her observe Ran Qinggu's situation in the palace.
Gu You told her that Ran Qinggu refused to share the same room with the prince, even... Ran Qinggu never let the maids enter the room to wait on them at night, nor let the maids change clothes.
When she heard this, she was both happy and worried.
Joy is, Shang Rongyu has not yet consummated the marriage with the Crown Princess?
Does this mean that in his heart, the imperial concubine is not important at all?
The worry is, Shang Rongyu hasn't consummated his marriage with Ran Qinggu yet?
Does this mean that in Shangrong and his heart, he loves Ran Qinggu so much that he agreed to his unreasonable request?
After all, this bitch like Ran Qinggu dare not consummate the house. Once the house is consummated, Shang Rongyu will know that he is a man. With Shang Rongyu's character, if he knows that he has been deceived, wouldn't he tear Ran Qinggu to pieces?
==
On the third day of March, Liu Guozhang's residence.
"Be quick, the virtuous concubine spent a lot of energy on the birthday of the head of the country, not only invited famous actors from the Jiangnan opera troupe, but also transferred a lot of people from the palace. Even the emperor and King Cheng will be here, if it’s messed up, how many heads do you have to cut off?”
The head of Liu Guozhang's mansion was standing in the yard admonishing the servants in the mansion in the middle of the night, and the servants stood respectfully in a row, listening to the admonition.
At this time, a servant girl walked into the yard.
The manager recognized that this was the person next to Concubine Liu's daughter-in-law Su Xi, and hurriedly nodded and bowed over, calling: "Miss."
The Liu family's prosperity and wealth are all due to Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Liu marrying into the royal family, and Concubine Liu's daughter-in-law Su Xi is the granddaughter of the current Tai Tuo, so her status is naturally extraordinary.
So he was extra cautious and polite.
The maid glanced at everyone.
Manager Liu waved his hand: "Go down, everyone, be quick, something went wrong, watch your lives carefully."
After the people left, Manager Liu asked, "Miss, what's the matter? But what is the Second Madam looking for with this old slave?"
The servant girl smiled: "Second Madam is nothing wrong? The Second Madam just asked the servant to ask the manager, what kind of cuisine is it for today's birthday?"
The manager smiled: "In order to satisfy the tastes of the dignitaries, the mansion has prepared a variety of cuisines to ensure that the dignitaries will come home happily. Girl, what is the second lady's taboo? You can tell me so that I can give orders to the people below. , be careful when cooking."
Maid: "My wife has nothing to taboo, but..."
She changed the subject: "It's just that some people who come here for birthdays have taboos. You know what to eat, which can make people with a bad stomach feel uncomfortable?"
The manager hesitated for a while before saying, "This... People with weak stomachs should avoid spicy and meaty food, but if it is all spicy and meaty, I am afraid that this birthday will be ruined. After all, many veterans from the three dynasties who came here have unusually light diets on weekdays."
The servant girl smiled and handed over a medicine list: "That person has weak bones and a weak stomach. These are the medicines she usually takes."
She made it very clear that the person in Chenyu Pavilion is not only in poor health, but also gets sick every now and then, and his stomach is also extremely poor, and he eats very delicately on weekdays.
Even so, I still take stomach-invigorating herbs every now and then...
This time, he must lose half his life here.
They were all fought on the edge of the knife and the waves, who still knows how to use tricks?
The manager smiled knowingly: "I see, please go back and report to the second lady, I will definitely do my best, and please ask the side concubine for me."
Maid: "Okay, Mr. Manager is busy first."
After a spring rain, the flowers in Kyoto are in full bloom, the pears are as white as snow, and the peaches are as pink as clouds.
In order to organize the [-]th birthday of Liu Guozhang, the Liu family specially invited [-] to [-] garden masters, and bought thousands of white peach pears to decorate the courtyard.
Ran Qinggu's celebration of King Cheng's birthday made a sensation in the entire capital of officials and officials. Since then, there has been an upsurge among the rich and powerful in the capital.
Birthdays don't need to be extravagant, but they must be unique and innovative.
So the mistress butlers of each mansion wanted to break their heads.
No, last summer Ran Qinggu made a Liushang Qushui, and the Liu Mansion immediately followed up, making peaches and pears all over the world.
The Liu Mansion filled the courtyard with peach and pear blossoms, and the pink/white contrast is too beautiful to behold.
Ten dining tables are placed at intervals, with all kinds of food, water and wine placed on the dining tables. Guests can freely choose their favorite food on each dining table, and then set up various styles in some beautiful places. The low stool seat, guests can sit at will with their favorite food, and can choose to sit with the person they like.
Here, like a paradise, there is no class, no official position, all thanks to the heart.
Ran Qinggu followed the princess and sat in a small pavilion with a nice view.
The concubine never saw Shang Rongyu again after entering the Liu residence.
She reproached and said: "Rong Yu is true, why did you go to find your classmates at this time, and they didn't come to sit with us."
Ran Qinggu took a few mouthfuls of food, but kept silent, his stomach was warm, like burning after drinking strong alcohol.
He knew that Shang Rongyu couldn't face him, but he actually didn't know how to face Shang Rongyu.
In fact, no matter how Shang Rongyu dealt with him, he would not blame him, this should have been his fate.
Suddenly, the feeling of burning a knife rose slowly, like a blunt knife cutting his stomach lightly or heavily, more or less bringing out some blood.
He frowned and covered his stomach, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the people present.
The people present were either laughing or talking loudly...
Seems like he's the only one like that.
His stomach has improved in the past few days, why did it get worse when he came to Liu's mansion?
Su Xi who was sitting opposite raised her eyebrows and looked at Ran Qinggu coldly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
No one would have thought that she added spices to the food that were incompatible with the medicine Ran Qinggu was taking, this bitch deserved to suffer like this.
Ran Qinggu was in so much pain that he accidentally met Su Xi's eyes.
Su Xi was elated, but Ran Qinggu's knife-sharp eyes made his hair stand on end.
She was terrified and defeated.
That look was terrifying, she had never seen such a fierce look.
Seeing cold sweat dripping from Ran Qinggu's forehead, the princess asked with concern: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ran Qinggu stood up: "Mother, I'm fine, I'll go to the backyard."
Wangfei: "Do you want my concubine to accompany you?"
Ran Qinggu shook his head: "No, I'll go back as soon as I go."
As he spoke, he tried his best to steady himself and walked towards the backyard.
Shang Rong and Ben were sitting on the porch with Lu Yunshen and the others, arbitrarily carrying out drinking orders and talking loudly, but the elders of the two dynasties at the next table were not so arrogant.
When he was serving the wine order, he saw Ran Qinggu walking past the crowd and heading towards the backyard.
His hand shook unconsciously, and the wine spilled out.
Yu Tiao said: "This cup doesn't count, so much has been spilled..."
Lu Yun smiled deeply: "Come on, come on, come on."
Shang Rongyu smiled and snatched the jug directly, and drank it gulp...
The wine was too late to swallow, and it flowed on the Chinese clothes.
Lu Yunshen and the others sighed loudly: "Okay, good job." "Good drinker..." "You can drink so much, why did you keep hiding it just now..."
The people at the nearby tables also looked over and praised Shang Rongyu loudly, Shang Ronghe and this table became the focus of the nearby tables.
The wine was poured down in gulps, Shang Rong looked over from the corner of his eyes, everyone laughed or booed, or sneered or contemptuously...
"It is impossible for a normal person to be free from mood swings, to laugh when happy and to cry when sad and painful, isn't this human instinct?"
"If a person can't even feel that he is alive, even the most basic food and clothing, such a person... After a long time, even if he is alive, he is still a walking dead."
"I don't like the world, I don't love myself, but I like you."
"I don't know what normal human feelings are, or I don't know what people need? I worked very hard to live like a human being, and I also tried very hard to imitate people, but I found that they were all fake..."
"People like me have no relatives, friends, parents, family, or future, but you have everything I envy!"
After the last drop of wine was poured, Shang Rong and shattered the bottle with a bang.
Everyone applauded and praised: "Okay, the prince is so proud..."
Shang Rong wiped his sleeves, wiped the drink from his face, stood up, and walked towards the backyard.
He walked to the flower gallery and saw Shang Yuzhou walking towards the backyard.
He hesitated for a moment, and when he turned to walk back, he was dragged back.
The King of Nanjun was drunk, so he ran over and took Shang Rongyu's arm, holding a pot of wine, and said drunkenly, "My lord, I want to have a drink with you. I want to see who has the most alcohol? I..."
He patted his chest: "I will never get drunk with a thousand cups, I have never been drunk, and I will have a big drink with you today..."
With a bang, the King of Nanjun fell drunk and fell to the ground, lying in front of Shang Rongyu.
Shang Rongyu looked at the direction of the backyard, as if making up his mind, he stepped on the body of King Nanjun and headed for the backyard.
When he walked to the backyard, he saw Ran Qinggu squatting in the corner of the backyard with his hands on the wall, vomiting heavily.
He turned around to leave, but just as he took a step, he heard the sound of the man spitting acid water.
He seemed to be frozen by something, unable to take a single step.
The sound beat his heart one after another, and his heart ached.
A group of beautifully dressed maids came out from the corridor opposite. Each maid held four white porcelain teacups in a tray with purple and blue patterns on the walls.
Those patterns were not added later, but in the process of making white porcelain, red porcelain and celadon were added, and after burning the paper, it showed purple red and blue. will fall short.
Shang Rongyu took out a cup containing green tea from one of the maid's trays.
The servant girl stopped Shang Rongyu and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, this teacup is a sacred object bestowed by the late emperor, and it must be taken to the main hall. The tea made with floral dew in it is used to entertain first-class generals and princes, and one is missing. , servants and others must die forever."
Shang Rongyu: "Even if you get it in the main hall, there is still a cup for me, Shang Rongyu. I just took my share in advance. You can go back to Ming."
The maid made sense after thinking about it, so she nodded: "Yes."
Shang Rongyu walked up to Ran Qinggu with a teacup, and handed him the dew: "Rinse your mouth."
Ran Qinggu looked at the hand that was handing the teacup with sharp joints, he was stunned for a while, and then took it: "Thank you, sir."
Shang Yuzhou turned around the corridor bridge, saw two figures in the corner, and paused in place.
He tightly held the glass of water in his hand, bang——
The cup was crushed by him.
He hated the powerlessness.
Just like when he was unable to save his mother back then, kowtowing to his unknown father and brothers in the snow...
In the end, he got farther and farther away from his mother...
Until she froze to death in the rain flower pond.
But now, he was the one who came first, he saved Ran Qinggu's life, he originally belonged to him and accompanied him.
But it's always another person who gets there first.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to care about him.
Shang Yuzhou used too much force, and the pieces of the porcelain cup pierced into the palm of his hand, and the blood gathered and dripped drop by drop.
He turned and strode toward the front hall.
Ran Qinggu vomited too uncomfortable holding the wall, his body was trembling imperceptibly.
Shang Rongyu stretched out his hand to pat his back to make him feel better.
When the hands were about to stick to the back, they stopped.
He moved his lips, wanting to ask Ran Qinggu to rest in the side room.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, they became: "I'm passing by."
Ran Qinggu paused while rinsing his mouth, and it took him a long time to spit out the mouthwash: "Oh."
Relatively silent.
After a long silence, Ran Qinggu said: "My lord, in fact, no matter what you want to do with me, I won't blame you."
Shang Rongyu: "Shut up."
Ran Qinggu nodded to indicate that he understood, he stood up and walked towards the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, intending to put the white porcelain cup.
The stone table is in the center of the courtyard, and the surrounding paths are gravel paths, criss-crossing, with peach and pear blossoms planted on both sides.
When he stepped on the gravel road, he accidentally stepped on the hem of his skirt, and his foot slipped slightly.
Seeing this, Shang Rongyu quickly took two steps forward, took Ran Qinggu's hand, and pulled him into his arms.
Being pulled suddenly by Shang Rongyu, Ran Qinggu lost his grip on the cup and dropped it.
After Shang Rongyu realized that he was hugging Ran Qinggu, he immediately let go of him: "What are you going to do? The gravel road is not easy to walk, so can't you take another road?"
Ran Qinggu raised his chin and pointed to the stone table: "I'll put the cup."
As soon as the cup was mentioned, Shang Rongyu realized that the cup had been torn apart.
This was a gift from his grandfather to Liu Guozhang.
This is the only one in the world.
Both Liu Guozhang and his grandfather love to drink tea and listen to music, and they are confidants, so they gave such a precious tea set. The porcelain patterns of this tea set cost countless craftsmen and raw materials.
For tea lovers, tea sets are more important than tea.
Liu Guozhang was able to take out such a precious tea set at this time, one is to show the prestige of the Liu family, and the other is that he really treasures this tea set and shows it off.
A tea set that can be shown off by a tea art master can be said to be comparable to his life, just like for a top swordsman, the sword is his life.
Shang Rong and his face turned blue and white, staring at the broken teacup on the ground in astonishment.
Ran Qinggu asked puzzledly: "My lord, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Shang Rongyu didn't speak.
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Ran Qinggu: "Did we do something wrong?"
Shang Rongyu: "No, we are right, this cup is wrong, it shouldn't be broken."
His eyes fell on the moon door next door.
Ran Qinggu followed Shang Rongyu's line of sight and looked over.
There is a mink tethered in the courtyard next door.
The mink was covered in white hair, except for a tuft of black hair on its neck. The hair was shiny and shiny, and it stared at them with sharp eyes.
No, to be precise, it should be looking at Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu's face turned pale immediately.
It was the second prince's mink, which was bestowed on him by the emperor.
It is also the only thing he has that the prince does not have.
He loves this mink very much, he basically takes it with him wherever he goes.
When the Qing family was destroyed, the mink had scratched Ran Qinggu, and there was still a faint scratch mark on his arm.
At this moment, the beast stared at him fiercely.
Must have recognized him.
Shang Rongyu picked up the stone bricks on the ground and walked towards the mink.
Ran Qinggu was stunned: "Shi..."
Shang Rongyu: "Go and watch the wind, otherwise Liu Guozhang will have to detain the two of us in Liu's residence today, and give his teacup a filial piety for three years."
Ran Qinggu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
==
The front hall had run out of food, and the tables in the courtyard were removed one after another for food and drinks. On the high platform in the courtyard, a troupe was set up. This was a famous actor invited by Concubine Liu Xian from Jiangnan.
At this time, the famous actors on the stage withdrew the curtain, and a storyteller stood on the stage.
The storyteller had a pockmarked face, waved his fan, and took two steps slowly, each time he took a step, he recited a line of poetry, which had the charm of a romantic wit.
"Between dragons and phoenixes, you can't tell if you're a man or a woman. The master has a daughter from the west. Once you marry into the emperor's family!"
He stood still and pointed at the crowd with his fan: "The master has a daughter from the west, who will marry into the emperor's family once."
The dignitaries in the audience looked at each other: "Who is this person? Mr. Storyteller? What is he talking about?"
Another person echoed: "I don't know, but the poems are quite interesting."
"keep going……"
The big pie-faced man smiled and said: "Ah, according to legend, in a certain unknown dynasty, the emperor bestowed a marriage on the most beloved son of the prince of the dynasty, but he didn't want his younger sister to be unwilling to marry, but his elder brother did... "
The crowd found it incredible: "Brother is married? A man married a man? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, don't you read too many stories?"
There are many people who raise male pets in Dasu, but they are never elegant, they are just playthings.
What's more, how can a man get married?
The pie-faced man smiled: "Everyone, let me tell you one by one."
Concubine Liu couldn't figure it out: "Sister, what's going on? You invited me back?"
Concubine Liu Xian looked puzzled: "I didn't invite this person back."
Princess Langhua took the hand of her mother and concubine, pointed to the stage angrily, and told the servants and guards: "What are you doing? Look at this man who is drinking like a madman, and if he doesn't pull it off, he ruined grandpa's birthday. How many do you have?" Heads are enough to cut off."
The guards were about to go up to the stage to pull the man down, but they didn't want to be stopped by Li Feiluan.
Li Feiluan smiled and said: "Princess, what's the matter? I think it's very interesting."
Although Princess Langhua and Li Feiluan have always been on good terms, she didn't dare to joke about Liu Guozhang's birthday, so she asked: "What if this person..."
Li Feiluan interrupted her: "What are you afraid of? There are so many guards in the mansion, how big a wave can he make? I think it's quite interesting. Listen, if the birthday is messed up, I will take responsibility."
Princess Langhua: "Can you bear this responsibility?"
Li Feiluan said firmly: "I can bear it."
She raised her eyebrows at the pie-faced man: "You continue."
The pie-faced man continued to shake his fan: "This man got married instead of his sister, and married into the emperor's family, but he didn't expect that the people of the emperor's family had never seen him through, and time was slowly passing by like this..."
"Wait, the son of the current prince, the gift of marriage...why does it sound so familiar?"
"It's a bit like the emperor and Cheng Wang's son and concubine..."
"Then the concubine is not a man...Impossible, she is so virtuous and virtuous, she doesn't look like a man at all."
The pie-faced man was full of resentment, and pointed his fan at everyone: "What I'm talking about is... Bai Yu, the concubine of Prince Cheng, his original name is Ran Qinggu, and he is Bai Yu's cousin. He was originally a man. "
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of all the dignitaries were all kinds of strange.
Some were amazed, some were watching a play, some were stunned, some were unbelievable, some were angry, some were mocking...
The picture seems to freeze.
The concubine's face was extremely ugly, and she was so angry that she ordered the guards: "Go, cut off his tongue."
If King Cheng hadn't accompanied the emperor to shoot arrows, she would have asked King Cheng to tear this man into pieces.
At this time, there was a sharp scream in the backyard.
Like a baby crying, like a woman sobbing, like some kind of animal.
Before everyone could recover from the shock of "The concubine is a man", they were frightened by these sharp screams and regained their senses, and looked in the direction of the backyard.
I saw Shang Rong and supporting Ran Qinggu to lift the curtain and walk to the front hall.
A piece of Ran Qinggu's clothes was torn, a few strands of hair were scattered, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled slightly, as if he had been frightened by something.
Shang Rong and Ruan hugged him, with affection in their eyes.
As soon as the two entered the main hall, they noticed that everyone was staring at them.
His eyes wandered and landed on Ran Qinggu's body and Ran Qinggu's chest.
Seeing this appearance, the princess was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter? How did you become like this?"
Ran Qinggu trembled: "Mother, Yu'er is fine, but was scared by a mink."
Only then did everyone remember the screams in the backyard.
Could it be that the imperial concubine was frightened by a pet mink?
Many dignitaries will keep pets.
But generally minks, cats, and dogs have no attack power, and those with attack power will be tied up.
To be frightened by a mink the size of a kitten is really timid.
The person on the stage also said that the concubine Shizi was a man in front of everyone.
Which man is so timid?Which man can be so coquettish and fragile?
If the concubine was a man, wouldn't there be no women in the world?
Ran Qinggu looked at the people on the stage, his face turned paler in an instant.
Isn't this person the answer king of Beicheng, Zhang Dacai?
That year during the Lantern Festival, he was taken to the street by Bai Yutaozi to play. In the wing room, Bai Yu answered many riddles under the lanterns, and he could only guess for her. In the end, Bai Yu directly became the king of the riddles that year. , Pulled down this five-year-old mystery king Zhang Dacai.
Later, it coincided with the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival, and Bai Yu, as the only daughter of the Duke in Beicheng, was invited to participate, but it was a pity that Bai Yu was good at wielding knives and sticks, and it was really embarrassing for her to recite poems against her.
She came to beg Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu had no choice but to help her write poems in her private seat, and in the end she relied on the poems written by Ran Qinggu to win.
And that arty Zhang Dacai was ridiculed and humiliated by Bai Yu, and became a laughing stock.
Afterwards, Ran Qinggu blamed Bai Yu for not knowing how to restrain himself, so there was no need to cause trouble.
It was only then that Bai Yu told him that Zhang Dacai was a softie and not good enough.
He became a scholar at the age of 12. Liu Yuanwai didn't dislike his shabby family, and felt that he had a bright future, so he was willing to betroth his favorite daughter to him.
Who knew that after marrying Liu Yuanwai's daughter back home, not only did he not have to study hard for the imperial examination, but he also didn't care about the family's food, rice, oil and salt.
His mother was even more mean and vitriolic. She not only asked Liu Yuanwai's daughter to wash and cook for her, beat and scolded her at every turn, and even asked Liu Yuanwai's daughter to go to her mother's house to borrow money to help the prostitute redeem herself after the prostitute became pregnant.
In the end, Yuanwai Liu really felt sorry for his daughter, so he proposed to divorce.
Zhang Dacai asked Liu Yuanwai to give 1000 taels of silver to reconcile, otherwise he would not even think about it.
Liu Yuanwai had never seen such a rascal, so he asked the county magistrate to uphold justice.
The county magistrate is sensible and asked the two to be reasonable on the spot.
Later, Zhang Dacai was very angry, thinking that the Liu family was deceiving too much, and slandered Liu Yuanwai's daughter everywhere, saying that she was not a woman, and had committed adultery, so Liu Yuanwai's daughter never married.
Bai Yu has always had a heroic spirit in his bones.
I hated that great talent so much that I humiliated him in public at the Lantern Festival Poetry Conference for being arty, nonsense in poetry and prose, and a wolf-hearted and ungrateful man.
After Ran Qinggu heard the reason, he gave up.
Who would have thought that this great talent would appear here today.
Zhang Dacai was also full of hatred when he saw him, as if he wanted to cut Ran Qinggu alive.
Shang Rong and Jian cast all eyes on him, and smiled: "What's the matter? Could it be that this prince has reached a new level of handsomeness?"
Lu Yunshen moved over, and whispered to Shang Rongyu, "Someone from somewhere on the stage said that the princess is a man."
Shang Rong and sneered: "A man? Could it be that he is going to say that this son is a woman in the next moment? You really know how to make it up!"
Ran Qinggu looked at Shang Rongyu in astonishment.
He never expected that Shang Rongyu would defend him.
He thought he would at least stand by, or kill him.
Li Feiluan stepped forward: "Whether it's a man or a woman, why don't you verify your identity today?"
The concubine raised her eyebrows coldly: "Miss Li, just relying on that vulgar person's few words, let me become a royal concubine to prove my identity in public? Don't you think it's too absurd?"
Li Feiluan chuckled lightly: "What's so absurd about this? This man is Zhang Dacai from Beicheng, and he has met the concubine Bai Yu and Bai Yu's cousin Ran Qinggu several times. He will definitely not admit his mistake. It was Ran Qinggu who married on his behalf, isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? So what if you test it?"
Concubine: "I am a royal concubine who is well-educated and well-educated. I come from a famous family, and my every move is measured. How can I just let someone verify my integrity? She is not a nonsense person, and she can confess to men in public..."
Li Feiluan blushed and said angrily: "You..."
She had indeed pursued Shang Rongyu in public before, and she would have thought that the princess thought she was infatuated, but she never thought that the princess would think that she was disingenuous, ignorant of etiquette and shame.
No wonder she used to please the princess. The princess always just smiled and said nothing, and never offered to let her into the palace.
Mrs. Li Xiang was eager to protect her daughter: "Princess, what you said is a bit rude. The little girl used to be ignorant, but she never did anything against the rules and regulations, but your son is looking for flowers and asking willows in the street?"
The princess sneered coldly: "My son is a man, so what about looking for flowers and asking willows? What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, so what if he is dissolute? Which man is not crazy when he is young? But your daughter is a woman, and a woman should treat her as a boudoir honestly." In the middle, abide by the duty of the daughter's family, instead of blocking men's carriages and horses in the street, and confessing to men, let alone being aggressive like today, let me become the royal concubine of the palace to verify my integrity, to put it bluntly, Miss Li, you still don't give up, Do you think that even without the Crown Princess, you will be able to step into the threshold of my palace?"
Li Feiluan's eyes were filled with tears.
No matter how painful or tired she practiced martial arts, she didn't say a word, and her thumb was bloody from being stepped on by the horse's hoof, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Now, the words of the princess are like knives, stabbing deadly into the wall of the heart.
"Princess, since Ms. Li has found a witness to prove that the concubine is a man, why not verify it, so as not to be criticized as a palace in the future? What's more, if the concubine is really a man, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. It is to kill the nine clans." Yes." The second prince stood up and looked at Ran Qinggu gently.
He thought he had seen countless people, but he couldn't see through the person in front of him.
He felt that there must be something wrapped under this person's frail coat...
Princess: "Second prince, what you said is even more rude. You are a cousin who is tolerant and reasonable. How can a cousin want to verify the real body of his cousin's wife? What's more, if you say that the verification will be done It turns out that in front of so many people, where do I put my face of being a prince? If Yuer is not a man, then who of you will come out to apologize? The reputation of a woman is greater than the sky, let alone such ridiculous remarks. Apologize to death, I will definitely not give up when I become the palace."
Zhang Dacai stood up and saluted everyone: "He must be a man, if not, I will cut off my tongue and tear my mouth in public today..."
The second prince smiled: "Look, the one who apologized with death is here, what else can the princess say? I didn't force the princess to verify the real body of the princess, I was just curious if what he said was true or false, after all, the matter of a man disguised as a woman , would be too strange."
The concubine sneered: "What's the matter of waiting? What's the use of that low life for me to become a palace? Don't just push someone to take the place of a dead ghost just to make me look like a palace."
Li Feiluan looked at Ran Qinggu provocatively: "Concubine Shizi, do you dare to test it?"
Ran Qinggu: "How do you want to test it?"
Li Feiluan: "Since you said you are a woman, why don't we find two witnesses, go to the wing room, test in public, you take off one piece, I take off one piece."
Mrs. Li Xiang and the princess said together: "No."
Mrs. Li Xiang: "Daughter, you are not married yet, how can you let people see your body?"
Concubine Wang: "Yu'er, you are the concubine of the crown prince, representing Cheng Wang's mansion, how can others just test it out?"
Li Feiluan pushed Mrs. Li Xiang away: "Mother, I have a sense of proportion."
She raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Shizi, are you afraid?"
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "What am I afraid of? But Ms. Li, you can test it if you say it, and you can do whatever you say. You don't think much of me, the princess, and you can't always find me just because you have been secretly in love with the prince. My trouble, if you find a cat today and tell me that I am a man, why don’t you ask a Taoist priest to tell you that I am a monster tomorrow? I can’t play with you all at once?”
He turned the conversation directly to Li Feiluan's crush on becoming the prince's son, and because of love and hatred, he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Sure enough, the surrounding ladies from the official family whispered.
"Yeah, it's outrageous, and I don't see her making trouble for others..."
"It's no secret that she has a crush on becoming the prince's son. Did she ever block horses in the street?"
"He has no sense of shame, the Crown Princess is really an innocent disaster, she was humiliated in front of so many people!"
Li Feiluan gritted his teeth and was anxious: "Aren't you afraid?"
Ran Qinggu scoffed coldly: "This trick will be useless to me, and I don't want to play house with you either."
Shang Rongyu took off his cloak and put it on Ran Qinggu, his eyes were fierce: "Miss Li, when I, Shang Rongyu, is dead
Li Feiluan was standing on the porch, wearing a water-blue skirt and a light blue shawl, she reached out to reach for an early peach blossom under the drizzle.
The pink flower buds are covered with crystal drops of water. The flowers are not in bloom, but they are so delicate and beautiful that the springtime in the garden is eclipsed.
Li Feiluan is like an innocent girl, but her words are like a sharp blade of ice: "The flowers in my yard are not blooming well and need to be fertilized. If you tell half a lie, I will chop you up. Come and fertilize my flowers."
The big pancake-faced man standing on the porch panicked and lowered his head, and said respectfully, "If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death. The current imperial concubine is really a man...he will His name is Ran Qinggu, and that year during the Lantern Festival, he helped his cousin guess all the lantern riddles correctly..."
Thinking of this, the man gritted his teeth secretly.
He is a well-known scholar in Beicheng. People in Beicheng call him Zhang Dacai. He has been the Lantern Riddle King of Beicheng for five consecutive years.
In the whole North City, there is no one who is his opponent when it comes to guessing lantern riddles and reciting poems.
Although he failed several times in the scientific examination, he still lived up to his talent.
But that year during the Lantern Festival, a mysterious person appeared, and he fell off the horse.
It was a man in white, his body was completely white, and he covered his lips and coughed from time to time in the biting cold wind.
He obviously looked so weak and helpless, but the strength of his body made Beifeng bow down.
Standing under the dim light, he calmly and calmly helped his cousin guess one lantern riddle after another.
No matter how difficult the lantern riddle was, no matter how many riddles gave the guessers a headache, he could tell it right away with just a glance, without any mistakes or hesitation.
Every time he said a word, his cousin applauded wildly with a maid, and even dared to laugh at himself as an idiot.
In the end, he won the lantern riddle guessing crown for his cousin that year.
Later, he went to the poetry meeting at the Moon Tower in the North City.
Although he never showed up, as soon as he saw Bai Yu and the poems written by Bai Yu, he knew that the man had gone.
Bai Yu took those poems and laughed at him for being arty and pedantic, no wonder he failed to win every time.
It was also because of this that he, who had been in office for five consecutive years, was scolded as an idiot and became a bereaved dog.
He had never been humiliated like that day.
He secretly swore that he would go back with a test and show those people in Beicheng, who is the idiot?
He came to Kyoto this time also for this year's scientific examination.
But he didn't expect that in the market, he met the man disguised as a woman, and also met Li Feiluan by accident.
After inquiring carefully, he found out about the grievances between Li Feiluan and Prince Cheng's son.
And the sick and weak young man turned upside down and became the concubine of the world, and he didn't expect that person to offend Li Feiluan.
Who is Li Feiluan, the legitimate daughter of Li Xiang.
As long as he solves Li Feiluan's worries and problems, won't he be the number one scholar this year?
Li Feiluan smiled like a flower: "My father is in charge of all civil servants, and even the Minister of Rites is his student. If you can do this for me, it will be in your own interest."
Zhang Xiucai, a man with a big pie face, quickly thanked: "Thank you miss, don't worry, miss, I will definitely not let that thief deceive you. As long as the miss needs, the young one will naturally go through fire and water for the miss, and die."
The rain was a bit heavy, and most of Li Feiluan's cuffs were wet.
She withdrew her hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant girl and wiped her hands.
At this time, the spring breeze blew, and the painting hanging in the corridor was shaky.
click.
The painting fell to the ground, and the wind and drizzle fell on the painting, and the ink on the painting quickly blurred...
The person in the painting is Ran Qinggu.
He was wearing a blue skirt, white gauze and silk, dignified and elegant, with picturesque features.
Li Feiluan stepped on the painting.
The eyebrows of the person in the painting under his feet are still clear.
She crushed it hard with her feet, and the painting was instantly crushed by the shoes and torn apart.
Still puzzled, she kicked the painting and kicked it into the pond under the corridor. She didn't smile until the face of the person in the painting gradually became blurred.
Who would have thought that the princess concubine who haunted Prince Cheng was actually a counterfeit, or a man...
In the past month, she found someone to investigate Ran Qinggu, and even went to Beicheng personally to ask about the situation with this painting.
Although there were very few people who had seen Ran Qinggu, one person who had delivered charcoal fire to Bai Guogong's old house insisted that the person in the painting was Ran Qinggu, the cousin of the Shizi Concubine.
This person said exactly the same thing as Zhang Xiucai, and this person has nothing to do with Zhang Xiucai.
She even asked Gu You to help her observe Ran Qinggu's situation in the palace.
Gu You told her that Ran Qinggu refused to share the same room with the prince, even... Ran Qinggu never let the maids enter the room to wait on them at night, nor let the maids change clothes.
When she heard this, she was both happy and worried.
Joy is, Shang Rongyu has not yet consummated the marriage with the Crown Princess?
Does this mean that in his heart, the imperial concubine is not important at all?
The worry is, Shang Rongyu hasn't consummated his marriage with Ran Qinggu yet?
Does this mean that in Shangrong and his heart, he loves Ran Qinggu so much that he agreed to his unreasonable request?
After all, this bitch like Ran Qinggu dare not consummate the house. Once the house is consummated, Shang Rongyu will know that he is a man. With Shang Rongyu's character, if he knows that he has been deceived, wouldn't he tear Ran Qinggu to pieces?
==
On the third day of March, Liu Guozhang's residence.
"Be quick, the virtuous concubine spent a lot of energy on the birthday of the head of the country, not only invited famous actors from the Jiangnan opera troupe, but also transferred a lot of people from the palace. Even the emperor and King Cheng will be here, if it’s messed up, how many heads do you have to cut off?”
The head of Liu Guozhang's mansion was standing in the yard admonishing the servants in the mansion in the middle of the night, and the servants stood respectfully in a row, listening to the admonition.
At this time, a servant girl walked into the yard.
The manager recognized that this was the person next to Concubine Liu's daughter-in-law Su Xi, and hurriedly nodded and bowed over, calling: "Miss."
The Liu family's prosperity and wealth are all due to Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Liu marrying into the royal family, and Concubine Liu's daughter-in-law Su Xi is the granddaughter of the current Tai Tuo, so her status is naturally extraordinary.
So he was extra cautious and polite.
The maid glanced at everyone.
Manager Liu waved his hand: "Go down, everyone, be quick, something went wrong, watch your lives carefully."
After the people left, Manager Liu asked, "Miss, what's the matter? But what is the Second Madam looking for with this old slave?"
The servant girl smiled: "Second Madam is nothing wrong? The Second Madam just asked the servant to ask the manager, what kind of cuisine is it for today's birthday?"
The manager smiled: "In order to satisfy the tastes of the dignitaries, the mansion has prepared a variety of cuisines to ensure that the dignitaries will come home happily. Girl, what is the second lady's taboo? You can tell me so that I can give orders to the people below. , be careful when cooking."
Maid: "My wife has nothing to taboo, but..."
She changed the subject: "It's just that some people who come here for birthdays have taboos. You know what to eat, which can make people with a bad stomach feel uncomfortable?"
The manager hesitated for a while before saying, "This... People with weak stomachs should avoid spicy and meaty food, but if it is all spicy and meaty, I am afraid that this birthday will be ruined. After all, many veterans from the three dynasties who came here have unusually light diets on weekdays."
The servant girl smiled and handed over a medicine list: "That person has weak bones and a weak stomach. These are the medicines she usually takes."
She made it very clear that the person in Chenyu Pavilion is not only in poor health, but also gets sick every now and then, and his stomach is also extremely poor, and he eats very delicately on weekdays.
Even so, I still take stomach-invigorating herbs every now and then...
This time, he must lose half his life here.
They were all fought on the edge of the knife and the waves, who still knows how to use tricks?
The manager smiled knowingly: "I see, please go back and report to the second lady, I will definitely do my best, and please ask the side concubine for me."
Maid: "Okay, Mr. Manager is busy first."
After a spring rain, the flowers in Kyoto are in full bloom, the pears are as white as snow, and the peaches are as pink as clouds.
In order to organize the [-]th birthday of Liu Guozhang, the Liu family specially invited [-] to [-] garden masters, and bought thousands of white peach pears to decorate the courtyard.
Ran Qinggu's celebration of King Cheng's birthday made a sensation in the entire capital of officials and officials. Since then, there has been an upsurge among the rich and powerful in the capital.
Birthdays don't need to be extravagant, but they must be unique and innovative.
So the mistress butlers of each mansion wanted to break their heads.
No, last summer Ran Qinggu made a Liushang Qushui, and the Liu Mansion immediately followed up, making peaches and pears all over the world.
The Liu Mansion filled the courtyard with peach and pear blossoms, and the pink/white contrast is too beautiful to behold.
Ten dining tables are placed at intervals, with all kinds of food, water and wine placed on the dining tables. Guests can freely choose their favorite food on each dining table, and then set up various styles in some beautiful places. The low stool seat, guests can sit at will with their favorite food, and can choose to sit with the person they like.
Here, like a paradise, there is no class, no official position, all thanks to the heart.
Ran Qinggu followed the princess and sat in a small pavilion with a nice view.
The concubine never saw Shang Rongyu again after entering the Liu residence.
She reproached and said: "Rong Yu is true, why did you go to find your classmates at this time, and they didn't come to sit with us."
Ran Qinggu took a few mouthfuls of food, but kept silent, his stomach was warm, like burning after drinking strong alcohol.
He knew that Shang Rongyu couldn't face him, but he actually didn't know how to face Shang Rongyu.
In fact, no matter how Shang Rongyu dealt with him, he would not blame him, this should have been his fate.
Suddenly, the feeling of burning a knife rose slowly, like a blunt knife cutting his stomach lightly or heavily, more or less bringing out some blood.
He frowned and covered his stomach, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the people present.
The people present were either laughing or talking loudly...
Seems like he's the only one like that.
His stomach has improved in the past few days, why did it get worse when he came to Liu's mansion?
Su Xi who was sitting opposite raised her eyebrows and looked at Ran Qinggu coldly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
No one would have thought that she added spices to the food that were incompatible with the medicine Ran Qinggu was taking, this bitch deserved to suffer like this.
Ran Qinggu was in so much pain that he accidentally met Su Xi's eyes.
Su Xi was elated, but Ran Qinggu's knife-sharp eyes made his hair stand on end.
She was terrified and defeated.
That look was terrifying, she had never seen such a fierce look.
Seeing cold sweat dripping from Ran Qinggu's forehead, the princess asked with concern: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ran Qinggu stood up: "Mother, I'm fine, I'll go to the backyard."
Wangfei: "Do you want my concubine to accompany you?"
Ran Qinggu shook his head: "No, I'll go back as soon as I go."
As he spoke, he tried his best to steady himself and walked towards the backyard.
Shang Rong and Ben were sitting on the porch with Lu Yunshen and the others, arbitrarily carrying out drinking orders and talking loudly, but the elders of the two dynasties at the next table were not so arrogant.
When he was serving the wine order, he saw Ran Qinggu walking past the crowd and heading towards the backyard.
His hand shook unconsciously, and the wine spilled out.
Yu Tiao said: "This cup doesn't count, so much has been spilled..."
Lu Yun smiled deeply: "Come on, come on, come on."
Shang Rongyu smiled and snatched the jug directly, and drank it gulp...
The wine was too late to swallow, and it flowed on the Chinese clothes.
Lu Yunshen and the others sighed loudly: "Okay, good job." "Good drinker..." "You can drink so much, why did you keep hiding it just now..."
The people at the nearby tables also looked over and praised Shang Rongyu loudly, Shang Ronghe and this table became the focus of the nearby tables.
The wine was poured down in gulps, Shang Rong looked over from the corner of his eyes, everyone laughed or booed, or sneered or contemptuously...
"It is impossible for a normal person to be free from mood swings, to laugh when happy and to cry when sad and painful, isn't this human instinct?"
"If a person can't even feel that he is alive, even the most basic food and clothing, such a person... After a long time, even if he is alive, he is still a walking dead."
"I don't like the world, I don't love myself, but I like you."
"I don't know what normal human feelings are, or I don't know what people need? I worked very hard to live like a human being, and I also tried very hard to imitate people, but I found that they were all fake..."
"People like me have no relatives, friends, parents, family, or future, but you have everything I envy!"
After the last drop of wine was poured, Shang Rong and shattered the bottle with a bang.
Everyone applauded and praised: "Okay, the prince is so proud..."
Shang Rong wiped his sleeves, wiped the drink from his face, stood up, and walked towards the backyard.
He walked to the flower gallery and saw Shang Yuzhou walking towards the backyard.
He hesitated for a moment, and when he turned to walk back, he was dragged back.
The King of Nanjun was drunk, so he ran over and took Shang Rongyu's arm, holding a pot of wine, and said drunkenly, "My lord, I want to have a drink with you. I want to see who has the most alcohol? I..."
He patted his chest: "I will never get drunk with a thousand cups, I have never been drunk, and I will have a big drink with you today..."
With a bang, the King of Nanjun fell drunk and fell to the ground, lying in front of Shang Rongyu.
Shang Rongyu looked at the direction of the backyard, as if making up his mind, he stepped on the body of King Nanjun and headed for the backyard.
When he walked to the backyard, he saw Ran Qinggu squatting in the corner of the backyard with his hands on the wall, vomiting heavily.
He turned around to leave, but just as he took a step, he heard the sound of the man spitting acid water.
He seemed to be frozen by something, unable to take a single step.
The sound beat his heart one after another, and his heart ached.
A group of beautifully dressed maids came out from the corridor opposite. Each maid held four white porcelain teacups in a tray with purple and blue patterns on the walls.
Those patterns were not added later, but in the process of making white porcelain, red porcelain and celadon were added, and after burning the paper, it showed purple red and blue. will fall short.
Shang Rongyu took out a cup containing green tea from one of the maid's trays.
The servant girl stopped Shang Rongyu and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, this teacup is a sacred object bestowed by the late emperor, and it must be taken to the main hall. The tea made with floral dew in it is used to entertain first-class generals and princes, and one is missing. , servants and others must die forever."
Shang Rongyu: "Even if you get it in the main hall, there is still a cup for me, Shang Rongyu. I just took my share in advance. You can go back to Ming."
The maid made sense after thinking about it, so she nodded: "Yes."
Shang Rongyu walked up to Ran Qinggu with a teacup, and handed him the dew: "Rinse your mouth."
Ran Qinggu looked at the hand that was handing the teacup with sharp joints, he was stunned for a while, and then took it: "Thank you, sir."
Shang Yuzhou turned around the corridor bridge, saw two figures in the corner, and paused in place.
He tightly held the glass of water in his hand, bang——
The cup was crushed by him.
He hated the powerlessness.
Just like when he was unable to save his mother back then, kowtowing to his unknown father and brothers in the snow...
In the end, he got farther and farther away from his mother...
Until she froze to death in the rain flower pond.
But now, he was the one who came first, he saved Ran Qinggu's life, he originally belonged to him and accompanied him.
But it's always another person who gets there first.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to care about him.
Shang Yuzhou used too much force, and the pieces of the porcelain cup pierced into the palm of his hand, and the blood gathered and dripped drop by drop.
He turned and strode toward the front hall.
Ran Qinggu vomited too uncomfortable holding the wall, his body was trembling imperceptibly.
Shang Rongyu stretched out his hand to pat his back to make him feel better.
When the hands were about to stick to the back, they stopped.
He moved his lips, wanting to ask Ran Qinggu to rest in the side room.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, they became: "I'm passing by."
Ran Qinggu paused while rinsing his mouth, and it took him a long time to spit out the mouthwash: "Oh."
Relatively silent.
After a long silence, Ran Qinggu said: "My lord, in fact, no matter what you want to do with me, I won't blame you."
Shang Rongyu: "Shut up."
Ran Qinggu nodded to indicate that he understood, he stood up and walked towards the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, intending to put the white porcelain cup.
The stone table is in the center of the courtyard, and the surrounding paths are gravel paths, criss-crossing, with peach and pear blossoms planted on both sides.
When he stepped on the gravel road, he accidentally stepped on the hem of his skirt, and his foot slipped slightly.
Seeing this, Shang Rongyu quickly took two steps forward, took Ran Qinggu's hand, and pulled him into his arms.
Being pulled suddenly by Shang Rongyu, Ran Qinggu lost his grip on the cup and dropped it.
After Shang Rongyu realized that he was hugging Ran Qinggu, he immediately let go of him: "What are you going to do? The gravel road is not easy to walk, so can't you take another road?"
Ran Qinggu raised his chin and pointed to the stone table: "I'll put the cup."
As soon as the cup was mentioned, Shang Rongyu realized that the cup had been torn apart.
This was a gift from his grandfather to Liu Guozhang.
This is the only one in the world.
Both Liu Guozhang and his grandfather love to drink tea and listen to music, and they are confidants, so they gave such a precious tea set. The porcelain patterns of this tea set cost countless craftsmen and raw materials.
For tea lovers, tea sets are more important than tea.
Liu Guozhang was able to take out such a precious tea set at this time, one is to show the prestige of the Liu family, and the other is that he really treasures this tea set and shows it off.
A tea set that can be shown off by a tea art master can be said to be comparable to his life, just like for a top swordsman, the sword is his life.
Shang Rong and his face turned blue and white, staring at the broken teacup on the ground in astonishment.
Ran Qinggu asked puzzledly: "My lord, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Shang Rongyu didn't speak.
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Ran Qinggu: "Did we do something wrong?"
Shang Rongyu: "No, we are right, this cup is wrong, it shouldn't be broken."
His eyes fell on the moon door next door.
Ran Qinggu followed Shang Rongyu's line of sight and looked over.
There is a mink tethered in the courtyard next door.
The mink was covered in white hair, except for a tuft of black hair on its neck. The hair was shiny and shiny, and it stared at them with sharp eyes.
No, to be precise, it should be looking at Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu's face turned pale immediately.
It was the second prince's mink, which was bestowed on him by the emperor.
It is also the only thing he has that the prince does not have.
He loves this mink very much, he basically takes it with him wherever he goes.
When the Qing family was destroyed, the mink had scratched Ran Qinggu, and there was still a faint scratch mark on his arm.
At this moment, the beast stared at him fiercely.
Must have recognized him.
Shang Rongyu picked up the stone bricks on the ground and walked towards the mink.
Ran Qinggu was stunned: "Shi..."
Shang Rongyu: "Go and watch the wind, otherwise Liu Guozhang will have to detain the two of us in Liu's residence today, and give his teacup a filial piety for three years."
Ran Qinggu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
==
The front hall had run out of food, and the tables in the courtyard were removed one after another for food and drinks. On the high platform in the courtyard, a troupe was set up. This was a famous actor invited by Concubine Liu Xian from Jiangnan.
At this time, the famous actors on the stage withdrew the curtain, and a storyteller stood on the stage.
The storyteller had a pockmarked face, waved his fan, and took two steps slowly, each time he took a step, he recited a line of poetry, which had the charm of a romantic wit.
"Between dragons and phoenixes, you can't tell if you're a man or a woman. The master has a daughter from the west. Once you marry into the emperor's family!"
He stood still and pointed at the crowd with his fan: "The master has a daughter from the west, who will marry into the emperor's family once."
The dignitaries in the audience looked at each other: "Who is this person? Mr. Storyteller? What is he talking about?"
Another person echoed: "I don't know, but the poems are quite interesting."
"keep going……"
The big pie-faced man smiled and said: "Ah, according to legend, in a certain unknown dynasty, the emperor bestowed a marriage on the most beloved son of the prince of the dynasty, but he didn't want his younger sister to be unwilling to marry, but his elder brother did... "
The crowd found it incredible: "Brother is married? A man married a man? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, don't you read too many stories?"
There are many people who raise male pets in Dasu, but they are never elegant, they are just playthings.
What's more, how can a man get married?
The pie-faced man smiled: "Everyone, let me tell you one by one."
Concubine Liu couldn't figure it out: "Sister, what's going on? You invited me back?"
Concubine Liu Xian looked puzzled: "I didn't invite this person back."
Princess Langhua took the hand of her mother and concubine, pointed to the stage angrily, and told the servants and guards: "What are you doing? Look at this man who is drinking like a madman, and if he doesn't pull it off, he ruined grandpa's birthday. How many do you have?" Heads are enough to cut off."
The guards were about to go up to the stage to pull the man down, but they didn't want to be stopped by Li Feiluan.
Li Feiluan smiled and said: "Princess, what's the matter? I think it's very interesting."
Although Princess Langhua and Li Feiluan have always been on good terms, she didn't dare to joke about Liu Guozhang's birthday, so she asked: "What if this person..."
Li Feiluan interrupted her: "What are you afraid of? There are so many guards in the mansion, how big a wave can he make? I think it's quite interesting. Listen, if the birthday is messed up, I will take responsibility."
Princess Langhua: "Can you bear this responsibility?"
Li Feiluan said firmly: "I can bear it."
She raised her eyebrows at the pie-faced man: "You continue."
The pie-faced man continued to shake his fan: "This man got married instead of his sister, and married into the emperor's family, but he didn't expect that the people of the emperor's family had never seen him through, and time was slowly passing by like this..."
"Wait, the son of the current prince, the gift of marriage...why does it sound so familiar?"
"It's a bit like the emperor and Cheng Wang's son and concubine..."
"Then the concubine is not a man...Impossible, she is so virtuous and virtuous, she doesn't look like a man at all."
The pie-faced man was full of resentment, and pointed his fan at everyone: "What I'm talking about is... Bai Yu, the concubine of Prince Cheng, his original name is Ran Qinggu, and he is Bai Yu's cousin. He was originally a man. "
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of all the dignitaries were all kinds of strange.
Some were amazed, some were watching a play, some were stunned, some were unbelievable, some were angry, some were mocking...
The picture seems to freeze.
The concubine's face was extremely ugly, and she was so angry that she ordered the guards: "Go, cut off his tongue."
If King Cheng hadn't accompanied the emperor to shoot arrows, she would have asked King Cheng to tear this man into pieces.
At this time, there was a sharp scream in the backyard.
Like a baby crying, like a woman sobbing, like some kind of animal.
Before everyone could recover from the shock of "The concubine is a man", they were frightened by these sharp screams and regained their senses, and looked in the direction of the backyard.
I saw Shang Rong and supporting Ran Qinggu to lift the curtain and walk to the front hall.
A piece of Ran Qinggu's clothes was torn, a few strands of hair were scattered, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled slightly, as if he had been frightened by something.
Shang Rong and Ruan hugged him, with affection in their eyes.
As soon as the two entered the main hall, they noticed that everyone was staring at them.
His eyes wandered and landed on Ran Qinggu's body and Ran Qinggu's chest.
Seeing this appearance, the princess was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter? How did you become like this?"
Ran Qinggu trembled: "Mother, Yu'er is fine, but was scared by a mink."
Only then did everyone remember the screams in the backyard.
Could it be that the imperial concubine was frightened by a pet mink?
Many dignitaries will keep pets.
But generally minks, cats, and dogs have no attack power, and those with attack power will be tied up.
To be frightened by a mink the size of a kitten is really timid.
The person on the stage also said that the concubine Shizi was a man in front of everyone.
Which man is so timid?Which man can be so coquettish and fragile?
If the concubine was a man, wouldn't there be no women in the world?
Ran Qinggu looked at the people on the stage, his face turned paler in an instant.
Isn't this person the answer king of Beicheng, Zhang Dacai?
That year during the Lantern Festival, he was taken to the street by Bai Yutaozi to play. In the wing room, Bai Yu answered many riddles under the lanterns, and he could only guess for her. In the end, Bai Yu directly became the king of the riddles that year. , Pulled down this five-year-old mystery king Zhang Dacai.
Later, it coincided with the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival, and Bai Yu, as the only daughter of the Duke in Beicheng, was invited to participate, but it was a pity that Bai Yu was good at wielding knives and sticks, and it was really embarrassing for her to recite poems against her.
She came to beg Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu had no choice but to help her write poems in her private seat, and in the end she relied on the poems written by Ran Qinggu to win.
And that arty Zhang Dacai was ridiculed and humiliated by Bai Yu, and became a laughing stock.
Afterwards, Ran Qinggu blamed Bai Yu for not knowing how to restrain himself, so there was no need to cause trouble.
It was only then that Bai Yu told him that Zhang Dacai was a softie and not good enough.
He became a scholar at the age of 12. Liu Yuanwai didn't dislike his shabby family, and felt that he had a bright future, so he was willing to betroth his favorite daughter to him.
Who knew that after marrying Liu Yuanwai's daughter back home, not only did he not have to study hard for the imperial examination, but he also didn't care about the family's food, rice, oil and salt.
His mother was even more mean and vitriolic. She not only asked Liu Yuanwai's daughter to wash and cook for her, beat and scolded her at every turn, and even asked Liu Yuanwai's daughter to go to her mother's house to borrow money to help the prostitute redeem herself after the prostitute became pregnant.
In the end, Yuanwai Liu really felt sorry for his daughter, so he proposed to divorce.
Zhang Dacai asked Liu Yuanwai to give 1000 taels of silver to reconcile, otherwise he would not even think about it.
Liu Yuanwai had never seen such a rascal, so he asked the county magistrate to uphold justice.
The county magistrate is sensible and asked the two to be reasonable on the spot.
Later, Zhang Dacai was very angry, thinking that the Liu family was deceiving too much, and slandered Liu Yuanwai's daughter everywhere, saying that she was not a woman, and had committed adultery, so Liu Yuanwai's daughter never married.
Bai Yu has always had a heroic spirit in his bones.
I hated that great talent so much that I humiliated him in public at the Lantern Festival Poetry Conference for being arty, nonsense in poetry and prose, and a wolf-hearted and ungrateful man.
After Ran Qinggu heard the reason, he gave up.
Who would have thought that this great talent would appear here today.
Zhang Dacai was also full of hatred when he saw him, as if he wanted to cut Ran Qinggu alive.
Shang Rong and Jian cast all eyes on him, and smiled: "What's the matter? Could it be that this prince has reached a new level of handsomeness?"
Lu Yunshen moved over, and whispered to Shang Rongyu, "Someone from somewhere on the stage said that the princess is a man."
Shang Rong and sneered: "A man? Could it be that he is going to say that this son is a woman in the next moment? You really know how to make it up!"
Ran Qinggu looked at Shang Rongyu in astonishment.
He never expected that Shang Rongyu would defend him.
He thought he would at least stand by, or kill him.
Li Feiluan stepped forward: "Whether it's a man or a woman, why don't you verify your identity today?"
The concubine raised her eyebrows coldly: "Miss Li, just relying on that vulgar person's few words, let me become a royal concubine to prove my identity in public? Don't you think it's too absurd?"
Li Feiluan chuckled lightly: "What's so absurd about this? This man is Zhang Dacai from Beicheng, and he has met the concubine Bai Yu and Bai Yu's cousin Ran Qinggu several times. He will definitely not admit his mistake. It was Ran Qinggu who married on his behalf, isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? So what if you test it?"
Concubine: "I am a royal concubine who is well-educated and well-educated. I come from a famous family, and my every move is measured. How can I just let someone verify my integrity? She is not a nonsense person, and she can confess to men in public..."
Li Feiluan blushed and said angrily: "You..."
She had indeed pursued Shang Rongyu in public before, and she would have thought that the princess thought she was infatuated, but she never thought that the princess would think that she was disingenuous, ignorant of etiquette and shame.
No wonder she used to please the princess. The princess always just smiled and said nothing, and never offered to let her into the palace.
Mrs. Li Xiang was eager to protect her daughter: "Princess, what you said is a bit rude. The little girl used to be ignorant, but she never did anything against the rules and regulations, but your son is looking for flowers and asking willows in the street?"
The princess sneered coldly: "My son is a man, so what about looking for flowers and asking willows? What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, so what if he is dissolute? Which man is not crazy when he is young? But your daughter is a woman, and a woman should treat her as a boudoir honestly." In the middle, abide by the duty of the daughter's family, instead of blocking men's carriages and horses in the street, and confessing to men, let alone being aggressive like today, let me become the royal concubine of the palace to verify my integrity, to put it bluntly, Miss Li, you still don't give up, Do you think that even without the Crown Princess, you will be able to step into the threshold of my palace?"
Li Feiluan's eyes were filled with tears.
No matter how painful or tired she practiced martial arts, she didn't say a word, and her thumb was bloody from being stepped on by the horse's hoof, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Now, the words of the princess are like knives, stabbing deadly into the wall of the heart.
"Princess, since Ms. Li has found a witness to prove that the concubine is a man, why not verify it, so as not to be criticized as a palace in the future? What's more, if the concubine is really a man, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. It is to kill the nine clans." Yes." The second prince stood up and looked at Ran Qinggu gently.
He thought he had seen countless people, but he couldn't see through the person in front of him.
He felt that there must be something wrapped under this person's frail coat...
Princess: "Second prince, what you said is even more rude. You are a cousin who is tolerant and reasonable. How can a cousin want to verify the real body of his cousin's wife? What's more, if you say that the verification will be done It turns out that in front of so many people, where do I put my face of being a prince? If Yuer is not a man, then who of you will come out to apologize? The reputation of a woman is greater than the sky, let alone such ridiculous remarks. Apologize to death, I will definitely not give up when I become the palace."
Zhang Dacai stood up and saluted everyone: "He must be a man, if not, I will cut off my tongue and tear my mouth in public today..."
The second prince smiled: "Look, the one who apologized with death is here, what else can the princess say? I didn't force the princess to verify the real body of the princess, I was just curious if what he said was true or false, after all, the matter of a man disguised as a woman , would be too strange."
The concubine sneered: "What's the matter of waiting? What's the use of that low life for me to become a palace? Don't just push someone to take the place of a dead ghost just to make me look like a palace."
Li Feiluan looked at Ran Qinggu provocatively: "Concubine Shizi, do you dare to test it?"
Ran Qinggu: "How do you want to test it?"
Li Feiluan: "Since you said you are a woman, why don't we find two witnesses, go to the wing room, test in public, you take off one piece, I take off one piece."
Mrs. Li Xiang and the princess said together: "No."
Mrs. Li Xiang: "Daughter, you are not married yet, how can you let people see your body?"
Concubine Wang: "Yu'er, you are the concubine of the crown prince, representing Cheng Wang's mansion, how can others just test it out?"
Li Feiluan pushed Mrs. Li Xiang away: "Mother, I have a sense of proportion."
She raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Shizi, are you afraid?"
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "What am I afraid of? But Ms. Li, you can test it if you say it, and you can do whatever you say. You don't think much of me, the princess, and you can't always find me just because you have been secretly in love with the prince. My trouble, if you find a cat today and tell me that I am a man, why don’t you ask a Taoist priest to tell you that I am a monster tomorrow? I can’t play with you all at once?”
He turned the conversation directly to Li Feiluan's crush on becoming the prince's son, and because of love and hatred, he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Sure enough, the surrounding ladies from the official family whispered.
"Yeah, it's outrageous, and I don't see her making trouble for others..."
"It's no secret that she has a crush on becoming the prince's son. Did she ever block horses in the street?"
"He has no sense of shame, the Crown Princess is really an innocent disaster, she was humiliated in front of so many people!"
Li Feiluan gritted his teeth and was anxious: "Aren't you afraid?"
Ran Qinggu scoffed coldly: "This trick will be useless to me, and I don't want to play house with you either."
Shang Rongyu took off his cloak and put it on Ran Qinggu, his eyes were fierce: "Miss Li, when I, Shang Rongyu, is dead
