Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the end of the spring of the 61st year of the Jokhang era, the new policy formulated by Jiang Yuetang was completed and was recognized by the top and bottom.

Soon, Zhaoguo implemented the new policy.

After finishing this matter, Jiang Yuetang remembered Xiao Diyuan and her plan, and immediately went to find Xiao Diyuan.

One day at the end of March, the Queen Mother held a flower-viewing and poetry banquet in a royal villa outside the palace, inviting many ministers' daughters to come.

Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan were also among the invitees.

The Queen Mother also asked Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan to bring a woman named Pan Yanyu.

Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan then came with 'Pan Yanyu' at the appointment.

This is the first time that Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan were invited to participate in the flower appreciation poetry banquet, naturally they did not dare to have the slightest ambiguity, and carefully prepared dozens of poems about flowers in the three days before coming, and specially reviewed several classical poems.

The women who can be invited by the Queen Mother are all the daughters of ministers in important positions, so all of them are not bad at learning, and the Queen Mother can imagine what an interesting day it will be.

But that's not what she's doing with the event.

When the three of them came to the Queen Mother to salute the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother looked at 'Pan Yanyu' standing behind Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan and asked, "Mrs. Zhen, is this your sister's daughter 'Pan Yanyu'?"

When she asked, the eyes of all the people in the audience looked towards 'Pan Yanyu'.

But seeing that the person in front of him was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he was born with a picturesque face, skin better than snow, and a graceful posture, and there was a clear and elegant air between his eyebrows, which made people like it inexplicably.

Judging from his demeanor and demeanor, it is obvious that he came from a scholarly family.

The Queen Mother's face showed deep appreciation.

Zhen Huiyuan hurriedly replied: "Exactly." ”

'Pan Yanyu' then took a few steps forward to salute the Queen Mother again.

The Empress Dowager looked at her carefully, and said softly: "This palace heard that your aunt said that your mother died early, and your father also died of illness last year, and now there are only you and your uncle and aunt in the family, right?"

Pan Yanyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The queen mother looked at Zhen Huiyuan again and said, "Don't you have no daughter? It's better to take Yanyu to your side and raise her as a daughter, so that your sister and brother-in-law will feel more at ease under the spring." ”

Zhen Huiyuan hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, the courtiers also have this intention, so I invited her to come to the capital to live for a while, and if she is used to living, let her live here for a long time." ”

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, then looked at a cluster of flowers not far away, and then smiled and chanted a poem, and after chanting, she looked at 'Pan Yanyu' and asked: "Yanyu, you also make a poem?"

'Pan Yanyu' immediately composed a song.

As soon as she finished, the audience was stunned.

The Queen Mother said sincerely: "It's really amazing, no wonder he has been known as a 'poetry child' since he was a child." ”

With that, he beckoned her to sit beside her.

Everyone present could see the Queen Mother's love for this woman, and they all smiled heartily.

At this time, Xiao Diyuan was invited to help the fun, and the Queen Mother took Xiao Diyuan's hand and said, "Yun'er, Miss Pan is good at poetry, do you want to have a few poems with her?"

Xiao Diyuan looked at 'Pan Yanyu'.

At this moment, there was a bright light in his eyes immediately, and he took the initiative to say, "I wonder if Miss Pan can appreciate her face?"

'Pan Yanyu' hurriedly said: "It is the honor of the little woman that His Royal Highness is willing to appreciate his face. ”

After that, she looked at a smiling flower beside her and chanted a four-sentence seven-character poem.

As soon as she finished chanting, everyone in the audience nodded approvingly.

Xiao Diyuan groaned slightly, and also chanted a four-sentence seven-character poem related to Xiaoxiaohua, and there are many echoes with 'Pan Yanyu'.

'Pan Yanyu' praised: "The Third Highness is really talented and elegant, learning is better than the mountain, and the little girl admires it!"

Xiao Diyuan said with a smile: "Miss Pan has won the award, Miss Pan's poem is wonderful in terms of artistic conception and words." ”

After that, Xiao Diyuan continued to write poems with her.

Under this pair, the tacit understanding between the two has increased again, and after a few rounds, there is a great feeling of seeing each other late.

Not only them, but even others have seen the clues.

At this time, it was not early, and the queen mother asked her subordinates to set the table for lunch.

So the people present had lunch with the Queen Mother.

After lunch, the activity ends.

'Pan Yanyu' followed Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan into the car.

After getting into the carriage, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhen Huiyuan smiled and asked, "How does it feel to wear women's clothes in front of people for the first time?"

Jiang Yuetang said: "I can't find a feeling, and I'm afraid that I look like a man in words and deeds, so I'm cautious everywhere, and I'm afraid that someone will see that 'Pan Yanyu' is Jiang Yuetang." ”

Old Madam Tao was pleased: "Fortunately, everyone is not aware of this. ”

Not long after, it was rumored in the palace that the third prince fell in love with Zhen Huiyuan's niece 'Pan Yanyu'.

During this time, Jiang Yuetang played the role of 'Pan Yanyu' in front of people three times, once at the flower appreciation and poetry banquet, once in the suburbs of the capital when stepping on the spring, and once on a painting boat in the south of the capital.

This time there were only Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang on the painting boat, so the relationship between the two was exposed.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the Queen Mother, Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang went to the Yangxin Palace to find Emperor Li Pei after dinner one day, and told him Jiang Yuetang's true identity.

Li Pei was undoubtedly surprised, but after a short period of surprise, he calmly said, "I should have seen the clue a long time ago." ”

Jiang Yuetang knelt on the ground and asked him to punish him.

The Empress Dowager and Xiao Diyuan knelt down and asked him for leniency.

In the end, Li Pei said: "This is why you moved out of 'Pan Yanyu'?"

Xiao Diyuan: "Yes. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family also has an idea for this matter. ”

It seems that she and Xiao Diyuan have made up their minds to help Jiang Yuetang to the end.

Li Pei said: "I will tell you my decision in a few days." ”

They hurriedly pleaded with Li Pei again, but Li Pei was unmoved.

Indeed, the crime of bullying the king is unusual, and he must carefully consider the powerful relationship in it.

Of course, he also hopes to have a foolproof solution.

So when everyone got up to leave, he stopped Xiao Diyuan and asked him to stay and talk.

Li Pei: "When Zhaoguo was only a small country in the Central Plains, I deeply realized that it was not easy to manage a country, but I didn't expect that after the unification of the Central Plains, the country's territory was several times larger, and the population was several times larger, but it was easier to manage than before. ”

When he said this, he looked at Xiao Diyuan and continued: "Jiang Aiqing has both the insight and courage of a man, as well as the delicacy and flexibility of a woman, everything can be properly handled by her, and I really need the assistance of a capable minister like her." ”
