Just when Gongsun Yi was happily planning to marry Cui Yan and Hu's daughter, Cui Yan also wanted to visit Hu's mansion to repay Hu's daughter's life-saving grace.

Hu Shangshu was flattered by Cui Yan's visit.

Although Hu Shangshu is also a scholarly family, the Hu family has never had a child like Cui Yan, he is like a gust of breeze, his face is extremely handsome, and he is full of poetry and books, which can be described as amazing. Cui's father and son have only been in Kyoto for half a month, and countless people have already broken through the threshold of the Cui family, and countless people want Cui Yan to be their son-in-law.

Hu Shangshu felt that the world was falling pie, and Cui Yan actually came to visit, and it was related to his daughter.

"When Cui first entered Kyoto, he was robbed by bandits, and it was Miss Hu who rescued Cui and her father from the bandits. Cui Yan said.

Hu Shangshu thought about his powerful daughter, and this thing was indeed done.

Hu Shangshu said reservedly: "The little girl has a chivalrous heart since she was a child, and Cui Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it." ”

What he actually wants to say is that the grace of saving lives should be promised by himself. Hu Shangshu was actually heartbroken about his daughter's marriage. There are many people who come to Hu Mansion to ask for relatives, but when Hu Shangshu saw his daughter who had a few buckets of food, he didn't have the courage to agree.

Hu Shangshu said, and asked tentatively: "What does Cui Gongzi think of the little girl's appearance?"

Cui Yan has read countless people, but there are very few women like that day, and they can even be described as unique.

Cui Yan thought for a while and said, "The posture of the city." ”

Hu Shangshu was ecstatic in his heart, this Cui Gongzi was not a mortal at first glance, and it turned out that this aesthetic was also different from that of mortals. Even if it was his own daughter, Hu Shangshu couldn't say the words 'Allure City' to that rather angular and even rugged face.

"Master Hu, Cui wants to visit Miss Hu in person and thank him in person, but I don't know if it's convenient?" Cui Yan asked.

That was the main purpose of his visit.

Hu Shangshu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and became uneasy again. Cui Yan said that her daughter's posture in the city, could it be because the light was not good that day, and she didn't see her daughter's appearance clearly? Today, the sun is just right, Cui Yan sees it, will he change his mind?

Hu Shangshu pondered for a moment and said: "Cui Gongzi is not surprised, the little girl is a little unwell. ”

Cui Yan was no longer reluctant, and arched his hand towards Hu Shangshu and said, "Then Cui will retire." ”

Cui Yan walked out of Hu Mansion, and his face changed on the spot.

The little guy looked at Cui Yan's face: "Childe, don't you love Miss Hu?"

This little guy is actually quite curious about Miss Hu.

Cui Yan smiled: "That's not Miss Hu at all, I was put on the table." ”

Cui Yan's laughter is divided into many kinds, some of which make people feel like a spring breeze, and some of which make people feel frightened, but the laughter at this time makes people chill. The little girl noticed that her son-in-law was in a bad mood.

"That day, the woman had a sense of heroism, and the momentum of her body was only available after a long battle, and the Hu family was a scholarly family, even if Miss Hu was extraordinary, she should not have such momentum. And Hu Shangshu's expression just now also said everything, Hu Shangshu lied, he was afraid that people would see his daughter. He wanted to marry his daughter, but he was afraid of being seen—his daughter was afraid of being different from the legend. ”

Cui Yan is clearly organized, and his analysis is the way.

The little girl looked at her son-in-law dumbfounded, and felt that her head had become a pulp. But what his son-in-law said must be right.

"Then why did the queen say that the prince met Miss Hu that day?"

A smile curled up at the corner of Cui Yan's mouth: "This is the interesting part." ”

The queen must have known the identity of the woman that day, and refused to let him know the identity of the woman, which means that the identity of the woman is somewhat special.

"Is there a female general in Kyoto who has a marriage contract?" asked Cui Yan.

The little guy immediately went to investigate.

Cui Yan felt that he had something to be sure. He left in the carriage, and then quietly returned to Hufu, but he had already changed his outfit, white clothes had changed to black clothes, and his temperament had also changed, unless he was extremely familiar with people, no one could connect him with the gentle Cui Gongzi.

Cui Yan sneaked into the Hu Mansion, and when he saw the difference between Miss Hu's true appearance and the rumored extraordinary, good-looking appearance, many doubts in his heart were solved.

made him mistakenly think that Miss Hu was the woman of that day, and he was sure that he wanted to see Miss Hu, but Hu Shangshu was not allowed. And then take the opportunity to give marriage......

I am afraid that is what the emperor meant.

can only say that his portrait touched the emperor's scales, making him angry and angry to do such a lack of morality.

Does that woman have a relationship with Gongsun Yi?

Isn't Gongsun Yi infatuated with the queen?

Cui Yan felt more and more interesting.

Soon, the little guy also reported the information he had found to Cui Yan.

"Childe, there are no female generals in Kyoto. In the past, there was one Mochizuki, that is, Gu Tianlan, the former queen of Mochizuki, and Shuoyun, and now when His Majesty was still the King of Yun, there was a female general Sheng Jinran by his side, but these two have already returned to dust. ”

Cui Yan suddenly thought that the emperor named the current empress as the general of Zhenguo and opened a mansion for her, and a very ridiculous idea was born in his heart.

Isn't the emperor just as rumored, bewildered by beauties, and doing this is not because of a Pomeranian smile, but because of his intentions......

If the woman of that day is the queen......

Cui Yan thought this idea was ridiculous, but the idea lingered in his mind like this.

Cui Yan vaguely felt that this queen was not only a favorite queen, she was like a mystery, and there were many old things hidden in her. Cui Yan was curious and wanted to solve the mystery.

He came to the study, asked the little girl to study the ink, unfolded the blank paper himself, and began to paint.

This time, it was still the same face, but the red armor was replaced by a phoenix crown, and suddenly changed from a high-spirited female general to a graceful and luxurious lady, without a sense of disobedience.

Cui Yan looked at the person on the painting in a daze.

At the beginning, Cui Yan had no other thoughts about the woman, only curiosity, curious about who she was. happened to Gongsun Yi forcibly wanted to help him choose a wife, so Cui Yan took the opportunity to send the portrait of the woman into the palace, in fact, he wanted to explore the identity of the woman. The first time he put down the pen, Cui Yan's heart rippled slightly, and this time he put down the pen, he stared at the woman on the painting, and his heart jumped up.

Cui Yan's lips were pursed, and his expression was unpredictable.

He jerked the scroll up and took a deep breath to calm the strange restlessness.

He called the servant: "Send this painting to the palace, in the hands of the queen." ”

When Gu Tianlan got the scroll, he was still quite surprised.

As soon as Gongsun Yi prepared the holy decree of marriage, he was hit hard.

"Cui Yan is not only a good learner, but also a quick thinker, he has already calculated my identity. Gu Tianlan said.

She was indeed shocked, and at the same time, for the first time, she really realized that Cui Yan's rumors were not in vain. This young son, whose reputation spreads all over the world, can be described as a rare literary talent in a century, and he does have his ability.

Gongsun Yi stared at the scroll.

If you say that last time, Cui Yan painted only the appearance, but this time, he painted a little temperament.

Cui Yan is tempting.

Gongsun Yi still felt jealous and angry. However, after knowing the ability of the opponent, he also became more cautious.

"Ah Lan, what do you think?"

"Cui's father and son entered Beijing for half a month, Your Majesty should hold a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for them. Gu Tianlan said.

Gongsun Yi squinted his eyes and nodded: "It's almost time." ”

That night, Cui Yan received a banquet post.

"The emperor hung us in Cui's mansion for half a moon, and now we have a banquet ......" Cui Lian was a little confused about the emperor's intentions.

"The Cui family is far away in Boling, and all the emperor hears is fame. If it is a phase, it must be virtuous, and the emperor will naturally have to assess one or two. ”

Cui Lian instantly understood the meaning of his words. This half-month time is a temptation, an assessment, and the emperor has a banquet to recognize him. But in the past half month, he only stayed in the mansion, there were too many visitors, and he had closed his door and did nothing, how did he pass the emperor's temptation?

"All emperors are jealous of gangs and factions, courtiers are grouped, and in this half a month, my father treats all visitors as gentlemen's friends, and this is what His Majesty values. ”

Of course, there is another thing that Cui Yan will not say.

His conjecture may be correct, the woman who was invincible to a hundred on that day was the favored queen of the palace.

Cui Yan guessed correctly, but he was not happy, and his heart was still a little sour.

It was a strange feeling, and he didn't want to explore it.

On the second day, the night was the time for the dinner, and the emperor invited all the heroes and important ministers, plus the Cui family and his son.

This is the first time that the new emperor has held a banquet in the palace after he ascended the throne. The standard of this banquet is very high, whether it is fine food and wine, it is excellent.

When dusk falls, the invitees enter the palace one after another.

The courtiers sat in two factions.

One faction followed Gongsun Yi to make meritorious contributions, and was loyal to Gongsun Yi, and most of them were military generals, such as Luo Ning, Lan Yuande and others.

The other faction is the Wenchen promoted by Gongsun Yi. The military generals guarded the frontier and defended the peace of the country, and the governance of the country depended on the Wen Tao of the civil ministers.

Since ancient times, Wenchen and military generals have looked down on each other, and when they came to Gongsun Yi's subordinates, they were also average.

The position of the Cui father and son is at the head of the Wenchen, next to the position of the emperor.

When Cui's father and son entered the table, the courtiers had already arrived one after another.

Cui Lian was next to the emperor's position, and Cui Yan sat down with him. Beside him was a bearded and half-white Wenchen, who looked at the first two positions, stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Two positions, is it possible that Your Majesty still wants to take that queen with such a banquet?" After a while, will Your Majesty take that queen to the court?"

He was quite dissatisfied.

Since ancient times, women have brought disaster to the country, and it is not a good thing for the emperor to favor the queen too much.

Cui Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not answer his words.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!" the shrill voice of the chamberlain sounded.

Cui Yan's hand hidden under his sleeve was clenched into a fist, and cold sweat broke out in his palm. He took a deep breath and turned their heads as the group looked.

The first thing he saw was the tall, handsome, handsome emperor, but the woman beside him.

The woman was petite, wearing a red phoenix robe, the phoenix on the clothes seemed to be dancing, her eyes were affectionate, her facial features were extremely exquisite, her lips were painted with Kodan red, and her cheeks seemed to be flushed with red light against the background of the clothes, which was particularly attractive. She is graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant, but there is a cold breath in her bones, these two breaths are mixed, turning into a bunch of poppies, blooming wildly.

Cui Yan realized that his paintings were actually less than one percent of hers.

On that starry night, his heart seemed to bloom, but it was too untimely, and the flower withered in an instant, leaving only a large area of desolation.
