Spring dyed pear blossoms

The palace was heavily guarded everywhere, and under the scorching sun, all the city defense soldiers stood upright.Along a relatively shady palace alley, Wei Anrong walked quickly, and Xia Lian, who was following behind, trotted all the way to catch up.

This road leads directly to the Imperial Study Room, but was stopped halfway along the road.

"Princess Jingrong, the emperor is discussing matters with the ministers in the imperial study, the princess cannot go in." It was Eunuch Liu Xi beside Wei Yuanqi who stopped her.

Wei Anrong looked anxious, even a little urgent, "When will the emperor be free, An Rong has something important to ask."

Liu Xi shook his head, "The emperor didn't say so, so please come back, princess!"

Wei Anrong already knew in his heart that the emperor didn't want to see her at all. "Eunuch Liu, please pass the news on your behalf. If the emperor doesn't see you, then An Rong will be waiting outside the imperial study."

Liu Xi glanced around, pulled Wei Anrong over, lowered his thin voice, and tried to persuade, "Princess, why don't you understand? The emperor did that because he was worried about you. If you go to question the emperor now, don't you let the emperor know?" Chilling? After all, you are all close relatives of the late emperor, is the princess going to ruin the relationship between you and the emperor, which is thicker than water, because of an outsider?"

Wei Anrong raised his eyebrows lightly. Liu Xi's words were serious, but it also made her understand a truth in an instant.Those who possess the supreme power of the Great Zhou Kingdom will first consider the dragon chair when they do anything.

She looked at the Imperial Study Room not far away. Under this resplendent package, it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad, and everyone was in danger. Maybe they would lose their heads and lives if they were not careful.

Even though she is a princess, even if she wholeheartedly assists, she still can't reach the dragon chair after all.The so-called family affection that blood is thicker than water, in this imperial palace, is nothing at all.

"Eunuch Liu, Brother Huang has nothing to say about that matter?"

"Princess, listen to the old slave, don't mind your own business."

"Nothing? Is my son-in-law none of my business?"

Liu Xi sighed helplessly, "This son-in-law is not yet a son-in-law. Whether it is true or not, the princess knows better than a slave. What the emperor means is that if you want to choose a princess who is unparalleled in the world, he will never be a waste. If there is one, there will be two. Escape, the second time, it may not be.

If the princess intervenes too much, the emperor will be angry.Why should the princess get angry with the emperor for an insignificant person? "

Wei Anrong felt dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. Many things were unclear.If it is made clear, so many people will not be implicated innocently.

His brows loosened, and he still whispered to Xia Lian beside him, "Go back!"

Just as he was about to leave, Liu Xi added, "Wait a minute, princess, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Wei Anrong stopped and turned around, "Eunuch Liu, but it's okay."

Liu Xi took another step forward, and bowed in front of Wei Anrong, "If the princess is really doing it for the sake of her son-in-law, then don't ask about this matter anymore. The emperor understands in his heart that this matter is not what the princess seems to be. Simple. Besides, in the future, the emperor will never think about taking the life of his son-in-law again."

Wei Anrong had doubts on his face, Liu Xi knew the emperor's affairs best.Liu Xi's reminder now shows that the killing intent in the emperor's heart has receded.But what made the emperor change his mind?

Wei Anrong couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't ask any more questions.She knew that Liu Xi was willing to tell her these things, which was considered extra caring.

Immediately, he hurriedly said, "Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law, An Rong made a note of it."

In the imperial study room, Wei Yuanqi held a white candle in his hand.The candle was cut off at the middle, and a note was hidden in the hollow inside, and the note was densely packed.

Wei Yuanqi glanced at it and threw the note on the candlestick, burning it up.

It was the last candle, the last note hidden, and the reason for his change of mind.

Liu Xi came in with ginseng tea, poured it into a cup, and handed it in front of Wei Yuanqi, "Your Majesty, the princess has gone back."

Wei Yuanqi nodded. He looked deep and sophisticated at such a young age.Especially those eyes, similar to Yong Wang, but not as vicious as him, these eyes are more like eagles that see everything.Know your prey and be ready to catch it.

"It seems that An Rong is interested in this son-in-law."

Liu Xi said with a smile on his face, "Even if you put your heart into it, it's not as deep as the emperor's blood is thicker than water. Otherwise, the princess would not listen to the old slave's persuasion."

Wei Yuanqi laughed softly, "Oh, you, you don't need to say these things to me. I know An Rong's temper very well. If he didn't care about him, he would definitely not question me for him. But this person is hiding his secrets. , the purpose was extremely strong, but luckily he didn't succeed. I want to see how capable he is."

"It's rare that the princess likes it, and this person can help the emperor. It's really the best of both worlds." Liu Xi said.

Wei Yuanqi wasn't answering the call, everything was in a dilemma, he never believed in the idea of ​​having the best of both worlds, he only believed in himself, and only in people who were useful to him.

At the end of June, it was the day of the competition for the top spot in the final Hundred Flowers Ranking.

Meng Qiucheng arrived at the Yanyu Tower early, but the result was as she expected, but also a little unexpected.Ran Xue unexpectedly lost the election, and the other oirans also failed for their own reasons.

In the end, the number one candidate on the Hundred Flowers List fell between Jin Xi and Luo Ying.

Previously, one won a reward of 10 taels of silver from King Liang, and the other won a reward of 11 taels of silver from Chang'an County Magistrate Meng Qiucheng. The two became famous and became a good story in Chang'an for a while.

Everyone likes a beautiful woman, and she is also a woman with both talents and looks, which makes men flock to see her beauty.There are even those who came from thousands of miles away.

The rules tonight are different from the past. It is not just a competition between the two candidates in their respective talents, and the one with the most support wins.Tonight's competition involved five aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing, with three victories out of five.

Meng Qiucheng was not worried about Jinxi's piano skills, but he had never seen Jinxi show off other things.Coupled with the sudden change of the rules, the result she originally thought was a little suspenseful.

Luo Ying likes to be quiet, this chess skill is all about being quiet, so Luo Ying's chess skill should be ranked first among all the oirans.

The first two of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, no accident, must be a tie.

Meng Qiucheng felt a little nervous, Taichung Jinxi also felt a little uneasy, looking for Meng Qiucheng's figure with his eyes.

Meng Qiucheng glanced at Jinxi and nodded slightly, signaling her to be at ease.Then he looked around again, but he couldn't see the figure of King Liang.

At a time like today, it is impossible for him not to come, and even if he does not come, it will not let Jin Xi win.She is not worried about Luo Ying, at least she will not resort to any insidious tricks.

But this is not necessarily the case for King Liang.

Meng Qiucheng's nerves were tense, and he carefully checked all the people present, and there was nothing suspicious.She was even more worried.The more this is the case, the more dangerous it is.

Zhenniang shouted loudly on the stage, "Gentlemen, please be quiet, today's Hundred Flowers Competition has just begun. This first round is about piano skills, next we invite Miss Jinxi!" "

As soon as the voice fell, the men in the audience were already boiling.Meng Qiucheng glanced at these people with disdain, and shook his head. Sure enough, the woman she liked was too popular.Unfortunately, they have no chance.

Jin Xi is wearing a white and elegant long dress today, and her dress is also very elegant, like a fairy from beyond the sky, who has strayed into the world of mortals.

With Qianqianyu fingers gently plucking on the piano, the touching melody is like spring water in the mountains, soaking into people's hearts.

Master Zhou sat at the side, closed his eyes and listened, and praised from time to time, "I didn't expect Miss Jinxi's guqin knowledge to be so profound. It’s time to win the next leg.”

Meng Qiucheng opened the folding fan and said with a smile, "Jingzhi, you also dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. So today I will bring you to see and see. Although the girl in this brothel is not from a good family background, she is not very talented. A noble literati."

Master Zhou opened his eyes and stared at Meng Qiucheng, "Judging from the stingy temperament of adults, if you are willing to bring a lowly job here for entertainment, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as listening to music!"

"Jingzhi, is this how you see me?"

Master Zhou snorted coldly, "If your lord doesn't say anything, then the humble official will leave first."

"Hey, don't be in a hurry!" Meng Qiucheng closed his folding fan and grabbed Mr. Zhou, "I really have something to ask for, and this matter must be resolved."

Master Zhou held the tea and took a sip, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Meng Qiucheng leaned close to his ear and whispered something, Master Zhou spit out the tea he was holding in his mouth, and looked at Meng Qiucheng's fox-like eyes in disbelief, "Aren't you joking, sir?"

Meng Qiucheng nodded sincerely, "It's definitely not a joke!"

Master Zhou cupped his hands to Meng Qiucheng, "Let's take my leave first, and I will return the money for the wine today to my lord tomorrow."

Meng Qiucheng grabbed Mr. Zhou's sleeve, "Jingzhi, just help me this time. If you don't help me, tomorrow I will tell Widow Li that you miss the place of fireworks."

Master Zhou was stunned, "Now I have finally realized that Miss Jinxi's evaluation of the adults is indeed true and reliable. The word shameless, the adults have also mastered the essence of it."

Meng Qiucheng let go of Master Zhou, and smiled, "Well, my future wife will naturally understand me."

"My lord, don't forget, you are the consort of the princess!"

Meng Qiucheng held a fan and blocked Master Zhou's mouth, "Jingzhi, I have never thought of being a son-in-law. Now that everyone's attention is on the stage, you should go and come back quickly."

Master Zhou gave Meng Qiucheng a resentful look, drank the tea on the table, and walked away very dissatisfied.

Meng Qiucheng's eyes turned to the Taichung people again, meeting her eyes.The flowers are good and the moon is full, the beautiful scenery is beautiful on a good day, but it is not as good as a beautiful woman, and the love is deep in my heart.

Meng Qiucheng felt that everything around him was in a trance like fog and shadows, and only the person sitting in front of the Guqin fell into his eyes.
