Qiu Chao thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty, I just heard the question just now, thought that I was facing a change but failed to respond in time, and felt ashamed in my heart, so I was speechless."

Lu Yu said with a slight smile, "That's reasonable. From this point of view, you should be punished."

Qiu Chao was startled.

On such occasions, such dialogues are often just a polite mode. Lu Yu hinted that the courtiers should reflect on their merits and demerits with questions, intending to warn them. A few words of comfort to show grace, commonly known as "hitting a stick for a sweet date".

As a result, Lu Yu didn't act according to common sense, and didn't plan to give him this "sweet date" at all. He said he was angry, but it didn't look like it, making people wonder what the emperor's plan was.

Qiu Chao was a little flustered, on the surface he could only express remorse, and said: "I am ashamed, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Lu Yu glanced at Qiu Chao, thinking that he might not understand what was wrong with him until now.

Self-assessment means that Dai Li used his intentions to force Bai Yiling to confess. Although Qiu Chao's original intention was indeed to resolve Lu Yu's reputation damaged by rumors, but for Lu Yu, even if he was really considered to be a rebel who shot dead with random arrows , did not want Bai Yiling to be wronged in the slightest.

Qiu Chao made such a claim on his own because he was too eager for quick success and hoped that his investment in Lu Yu could be exchanged for more benefits, so he probably thought it was all a show of loyalty.

It's up to him what he wants to think, and if he thinks about Bai Yiling, it's a big touch to Lu Yu's bottom line.Lu Yu said: "It's not interesting to watch too many songs and dances just now, so I will punish you to perform something casually to help everyone enjoy themselves."

It turned out that his "punishment" was such a punishment method, Qiu Chao was stunned at the table, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

On this occasion, he is an old man, can he go up and sing a little song or dance?The emperor was simply entertaining people, and besides, even if he put on a face and actually acted, the emperor could say he was not satisfied, and if he asked him to do it again, it would be a big joke.

In the midst of a dilemma, Qiu Chao's daughter Qiu Zhen suddenly stood up from her seat, went to the front of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yu and said, "Long live Your Majesty. My daughter Qiu Zhen is a little familiar with singing and dancing. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, Can Rong Chen's daughter perform a dance on behalf of her father to cheer up the adults?"

Lu Yu didn't expect this woman to be quite bold, she took the initiative to come to talk to him when the palace was in chaos last time, and this time she took the initiative to make such a request, her first reaction was to quickly glance at Bai Yiling.Bai Yiling smiled indifferently at Luyu.

Lu Yu said, "Let's get back on your feet. Since Ms. Qiu recommended herself, I have no reason not to."

Seeing that Lu Yu agreed to her request so easily, Qiu Zhen felt a little happy, stood up after thanking her, and glanced at him secretly.

At this time, the distance between her and Lu Yu was relatively close. The young emperor had a beautiful face, sitting in a high position, handsome and majestic, and his tone of voice was kind when he heard her talking to her. Qiu Zhen immediately remembered, My father mentioned it several times before, and it should be her husband-in-law.

She didn't want to argue with Bai Yiling.But seeing how well Lu Yu treats Bai Yiling, it can be seen that she has a gentle and considerate temperament, and she is satisfied if she can share half of the favor. After all, the emperor must have heirs, so it is impossible for him to really leave the sixth palace empty, right?As long as the emperor revealed a little bit of meaning in this regard, she would be fine even if she waited for a year or two.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhen rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's just that the dance of the minister is a bit special, and you can't play music at the same time when performing the performance. I wonder if you can have the courage to ask Your Majesty to accompany you?"

It's half coquettish and half begging, it seems very difficult for people to refuse - of course, the emperor may not be considered a human being.

Lu Yu still remembered what Sheng Zhi asked him last time, and he was afraid that Bai Yiling would be suspicious. Now in front of him, he was avoiding Qiuzhen like a snake and scorpion. Seeing that this woman was not finished yet, she immediately felt that she was very contemptuous.

Lu Yu was displeased, and said: "You are the one who is going to be punished on behalf of your father, and no one is forcing you. If you can dance, you can dance, if you can't dance, then you don't dance. Let me accompany you. Does it mean that I need to plead guilty to someone? "

Qiu Zhen: "..."

Why is the emperor like this!

What she didn't know was that Lu Yu might have been a ruthless killer in his previous life. Not only did he strictly guard against those who wanted to get close to Bai Yiling, but he was merciless even to those who cared about him.

Qiu Zhen's face was flushed red, and she was almost choked to death by Lu Yu. Her complexion changed a few times, and after a while, she adjusted her mood, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's my daughter's recklessness. Your Majesty forgives her sin. This girl is making a fool of herself."

Lu Yu waved his hand.

Qiu Zhen went down to prepare, and after a while, the drums in the hall sounded, and a group of beauties in colorful clothes each carried porcelain bowls with different patterns to the hall, and put the bowls upside down in front of the hall, and then After setting up a screen, she retreated to the side again, Qiu Zhen changed into a dance dress, her waist was soft and swayed lightly, and she danced lightly.

She was obviously inspired by the performance of the illustrious envoy last time. She spun and jumped along the bottom of the bowl with the music, her toes not touching the ground. At the same time, she stretched her wide sleeves, took the pen and ink she had prepared by her side, and wrote it on the screen. paint.Her movements are light, and what is rare is that her brushwork does not appear messy, but it is indeed wonderful.

Bai Yiling is not good at women, so he didn't pay attention to it at first.As Qiu Zhen danced, he suddenly discovered that after the other party finished drawing the background of the moon rising by the sea, he began to outline a scene of a man standing in it drinking wine and dancing with a sword. It was clearly Lu Yu.

Bai Yiling has seen Lu Yu make several moves before, but he usually solves all problems with one strike of the sword, and there is no need to make a second move at all. It seems that the wine is in full swing, but the appearance of dancing swords under the moon has never been seen before. I've seen it before, but I don't know whether Qiu Zhen drew such a picture based on memory or imagination.

He gradually became a little fascinated, but Lu Yu on the other side was a little dumbfounded.

what's the situation?He sternly rejected this Ms. Qiu, in order to avoid suspicion and misunderstand the officials, he didn't even take a second look at her singing and dancing, but Bai Yiling looked so engrossed instead, with a slight smile on his lips meaning!

Do you have a point of view?That is his rival in love!

Lu Yu secretly picked up a grape and threw it at Bai Yiling.

Bai Yiling stared at the painting in Qiu Zhen's hands, as if he didn't notice the sudden attack at all, but his instincts of many years were there, even if he didn't even take a look, he could still feel something approaching.

Just when the grapes were about to fall on his head, Bai Yiling's body suddenly leaned back slightly, and the round, fat grape fell into the wine glass in front of Sheng Ji with a thud.

The hops splashed everywhere, and Sheng Ji felt a few drops of ice cold on his face.

Sheng Ji: "...Ah, Ah Choo!"

Bai Yiling almost laughed out loud, quickly wiped Sheng Ji's face with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Third Brother, I'm sorry."

Lu Yu watched from above, and couldn't help laughing, and finally remembered that he was the emperor, and finally suppressed the smile.However, being interrupted like this, Bai Yiling also took his gaze away from Qiu Zhen's body, which is considered to have achieved Lu Yu's goal.

Even though they were flirting with each other like this, it was just a small gesture, but their sitting positions were very conspicuous.The ministers below were all watching, but they didn't dare to laugh or comment. They could only pretend that they didn't pay attention at all, staring at Qiu Zhen's dancing stare. In fact, their hearts were already in chaos. There was a ball.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official, and the new emperor also has a different style, which often requires the courtiers to find out and adapt, but now everyone can understand that their new emperor probably has no special requirements. If you want to please him, as long as you don’t offend him Commander Bai, it's probably all right.

Miss Qiu felt that everyone's eyes were on her, she was secretly happy, and after dancing to the song, she saluted gracefully.As a result, I thought that everyone would be so engrossed that there would be thunderous noises around, but it turned out that no one made a sound for a long time.

Everyone was thinking about the emperor's show of affection, but there was really no time to watch.

Miss Qiu: "..."

After a while, someone realized that her performance was over, and quickly smiled and praised, and the atmosphere returned to excitement.

The eldest son of Taining Hou Mansion is Lu Yu's cousin according to his status. He doesn't like to get involved in political affairs, and has no interests involved. He usually has no other hobbies except singing and dancing beauties. He has no scruples at this time, and he was the first to speak: " She is good at painting and dancing, she really deserves to be a girl from the University Scholars' Mansion. It's just that the person in this painting..."

He almost said something, but fortunately he was not stupid, his eyes narrowed, he took back the words that came to his lips, and said instead: "The people in the painting are also very vivid."

Lu Yu didn't look at the painting carefully at all. At this time, he heard Taining Hou Shizi's tone was wrong, so he just took a look. After this look, he didn't know what to say about Qiu Zhen. She is bold, and now Lu Yu feels that "very" should be added before the word "big".

Anyone with a discerning eye present could see that although due to the size limitation of the scroll, the facial features of the sword-wielding man painted on it could not be too clear, but no matter the wind and spirit, or the royal family emblem of the Lu family on the long sword in his hand, there is no doubt One did not prove that the person she painted was Lu Yu.

In addition to the man dancing the sword, Qiu Zhen also drew a woman playing the piano not far away. Needless to say, it was herself.

This painting is actually an imitation with another story behind it.It is about that when the state of Jin was first established, Taizu also had a fifth son who was named the King of Xiang. It is said that he is romantic, talented and handsome, and he is the object of admiration of many women.

One of the ladies heard that he was going to choose a concubine, so she deliberately carried her qin to the place where the King of Xiang dances swords every day, played beautiful music to accompany him, and conveyed his love with the sound of the qin. Later, the King of Xiang was moved and married her. .As expected, that young lady was also very virtuous, and treated the concubines and concubines in the palace kindly. The two of them grew up together and made a good story. The scene of playing the piano and dancing the sword together was also recorded in the painting.

Lu Yu recognized this painting as Qiu Zhen imitating the story of King Xiang and Princess Wang. When he realized that the man was himself, his first reaction was to understand what Bai Yiling was looking at just now. frown.

Qiu Zhen's move is actually tantamount to showing love to Lu Yu in full view.In the eyes of others, although Qiu Chao made a mistake, it did not cause any consequences, and the punishment of demotion was enough.After all, Ms. Qiu is the daughter of an old official. If a girl is so enthusiastic and bold, if she has such a reputation after being rejected, it will be difficult to marry someone else.

Although the imperial edict he read at the beginning clearly stated that Lu Yu only wanted to stay with Bai Yiling for the rest of his life, but the people who heard it didn't take it seriously at all.

No one thinks that the king of a country will only guard one man, have no heirs, and leave the sixth house vacant.In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very simple for Lu Yu to give Qiu Zhen a title to come close to the palace. If he refuses, it will be deliberately not giving face to the loyal veteran. It will chill everyone like this just after he ascended the throne.

What Qiu Zhen did was like a moral kidnapping, which made Lu Yu very disgusted.

He didn't speak for a while, and there was no joy or anger on his face, which made the other people not know what the emperor was thinking, and they didn't dare to speak, and they were a little cold for a while.

After a while, Zuo Xiang Liang Weishu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are paintings in Miss Qiu's dance performance, which is really wonderful. The old minister is annoying, this painting is good, but there are paintings but no poems. What is lacking, it is better... "

He had some friendship with Grand Master Qiu, and felt that Miss Qiu was likely to become Princess Huai all the time in the past, and performing dances in public now is not a big deal, so he wanted to be a favor and help match up.

He didn't dare to directly point out that the man in the painting was Lu Yu. He originally wanted to ask the emperor to write a poem to test Lu Yu's attitude, but Sheng Duo suddenly interrupted what Liang Xiang said later.

Sheng Duo raised his voice and said with a smile: "What Liang Xiang said is very true. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog daughters, Miss Qiu's family has a long history, if you can add a poem to it, it will be a good story."

Sheng Duo directly asked Ms. Qiu to write poems by herself. After all, it was his business for Lu Yu to ignore this Ms. Qiu, but of course he couldn't just sit and watch when he attacked the Sheng family...brother-in-law's idea in front of the Sheng family.

Qiu Zhen was slightly taken aback. Jin people are very beautiful and elegant. No matter what kind of banquet they usually have, they always like to play games like shooting and hiding hooks and breaking white characters. good opportunity.

But she didn't prepare before that, and she wanted to compose a poem on the spot, and she couldn't catch up for a while, and her face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Taining Hou Shizi praised Qiu Zhen's dance just now, and he still felt a little pity for the beauty. Seeing this, he wanted to rescue the beauty, so he pondered for a while and said: "Singing with lips is better than spring breeze, turning sleeves and thinking about emotion..."

This is to praise Qiu Zhen's dancing posture and beauty just now, but it has nothing to do with the person in the painting. It is also a reminder to Qiu Zhen to be sensible. "

Qiu Zhen had no idea at first, but when the eldest son said it, she suddenly became inspired. She thanked him with a smile, pulled up her sleeves and picked up the pen, and put the first two lines of poems on the painting, and said: "There are many people here today who are well-educated. Gentlemen, the little girl dares to show her ugliness, please don't be offended, my lords."

She continued to write: "...Wake up and look at the wind and moon, and suddenly startle the dream. The river and the sea are broken, and the years are over. Ten thousand hates and thousands of feelings rely on the railing..."

"Xia Guang, you see, this girl has a lot of eyes."

Bai Yiling was watching Qiu Zhen write a poem, when his ear became warm, the king of Jinling County who was sitting on his right came over and spoke in a low voice: "The painting is about the emperor, she is afraid that she won't be able to praise her with the pen and ink in her chest, and accidentally offend him." , I simply wrote about my admiration and the girl's sorrow, such affectionate, ordinary men would not be able to bear it."

Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Do you understand it quite well?"

King Jinling shook his feet triumphantly: "I have been seduced a lot, and I have some experience."

After finishing speaking, he said seriously: "Look carefully, we can't let her admit that the person in the painting is the emperor in public, we know it's the same thing, if she said it herself, it can't be stopped. "

Bai Yiling poured him a glass of wine: "Thank you for worrying, I know."

If it doesn't work, just give her a big gift bag, it doesn't matter.He didn't make a move because he felt that Lu Yu was not panicking.

But between the two talking, Qiu Zhen's poem got stuck.

She is smart, but she also made a mistake.Today was originally an auspicious day to be celebrated by the whole world. She could express her yearning, but in order to bring out her own deep love, she accidentally wrote down the sadness of not being in love—isn't this embarrassing?

Qiu Zhen couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought, the scene was a bit awkward, she paused, put down her pen, and smiled apologetically at everyone: "Young girl is ignorant, I really can't continue with this word, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Although it was embarrassing to admit defeat like this, but at least he maintained his demeanor, Lu Yu said lightly: "It's just for fun, don't take it seriously, go on down."

Qiu Zhen bit her lip, and asked cautiously: "But my daughter still wants to dedicate the painting to His Majesty..."

Lu Yu said: "In the past, how did the township tycoons taste the stems of sweet moss and celery seeds in their mouths, how would they judge them?"

Qiu Zhen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Yu was saying, but Grand Master Qiu's face turned pale all of a sudden, he got up and left his seat, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, my daughter is ignorant, please forgive me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and scolded Qiu Zhen in a low voice: "Say more, didn't you hear His Majesty let you go down?"

The King of Jinling was at a loss: "What happened? Isn't that old man Qiu Chao very determined?"

Bai Yiling said: "Your Majesty told an allusion in "Liezi·Yang Zhu". A man planted a lot of vegetables and was very proud. He boasted to a rich man in the village and asked him to taste it. After the rich man ate it, he thought It was so unpalatable that everyone laughed at the vegetable grower."

King Jinling suddenly realized.

For them, it is enough to say three points. This story is about the poor people's short-sightedness. They dare to boast to the rich people when they get some common and humble things.

When Lu Yu told this allusion, he was actually telling Qiu Zhen that your broken painting and you, in my opinion, are like rotten vegetables, which can be said to be a very mean metaphor.It's just that he didn't say it directly, and no one can find out the fault.

Senior scholar Qiu understood, but Qiu Zhen didn't understand, but seeing his father's expression, he also knew that he was ashamed, bowed his head in salute and stepped back, his eyes turned red as soon as he sat down.

Sang Hongrui had just had a quarrel with her, and was very happy to see Qiu Zhen like this, and suggested with a smile: "It's obviously a good painting, but it's a pity to add half a poem. Probably because Miss Qiu can't describe Your Majesty. Yingzi. Master Bai, why don't you make up for it?"

This banquet was full of jealousy and scheming, and Bai Yiling was speechless for a while, but unexpectedly, the fire still burned on him.

It seems that women really can't be offended. Sang Hongrui got his wish and married the King of Linzhang, and he still remembers the old grievances with him.

Probably according to her way of thinking, Lu Yu formed a bond with Bai Yiling in front of the whole world, and the two are legitimate partners.And Ms. Qiu's behavior is obviously interesting to the emperor, so Bai Yiling was asked to continue her writing, and Sang Hongrui just wanted to bury her.

But she forgot that no one present said that the person Qiu Zhen painted was the emperor.

Without Bai Yiling's words, Madam Sang Hongrui didn't like her and wanted to please Lu Yu and said with a smile: "Why does the side concubine say that? There is no majesty in her majesty. I saw that Miss Qiu clearly painted The scene of the king of Linzhang dancing his sword, don't you think the same as me?"

Sang Hongrui was furious, and because of the occasion, he was not easy to lose his temper, so he said with a fake smile: "Madam probably has bad eyesight, she misread."

【Ding!It is detected that the hatred value of the "vicious female supporting role" has soared, and your navy standard gift package will take effect! 】
