The news that the emperor summoned Cheng Niangzi and was reprimanded and rejected by Chen Shao soon spread.

"Your Majesty summoned Cheng Niangzi again?" Gao Lingbo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The subordinate shook his head.

"I don't know, the waiter didn't say it, and Chen Shao didn't ask and scolded him back."

Gao Lingbo waved his hand, and his subordinates stepped back and stepped forward in person.

"Go ask the palace." He said.

The personal response is to retreat.

The concubine in the palace only found out after being asked, and her emotions were much more reactive than Gao Lingbo.

"What are you going to do?" She said, "Isn't it enough for a concubine to be pregnant? ”

"Mother." The attendant on the side hurriedly and cautiously booed, "I can't say that." ”

The concubine threw the handstove out and turned around angrily.

The maid hurriedly picked it up carefully.

"Isn't it just pregnant? It's Jin Feng again, it's a reward for her family, it's all kinds of imperial food serving, and it's also sent to sing and dance for fun, who hasn't given birth or raised? The concubine was still unhappy and said, "How can it be so expensive?" Born in a family that makes vats! ”

The waiter laughed helplessly.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is not for Concubine An's money." He said, "What is precious is that Your Majesty has a son again." ”

Although he is no longer a man, he knows that all men in the world are the same, and they will be proud of being so old and strong.

The concubine snorted and sat down angrily.

"If it goes on like this, Your Majesty may ask the immortal to ask, what kind of system will it become in the palace like this!" She said.

Speaking of this, he scolded Feng Lin again.

"It's also a waste, even a little woman can't deal with it, and she deserves to be kicked out."

The chamberlain followed and persuaded and laughed.

". At this point, it is useless to say more. He said. At this time, I still want to inquire about what His Majesty summoned Cheng Niang. ”

The concubine sighed. Turn around.

"Where is Your Majesty?" She asked.

One of the chamberlains bowed his head and approached.

"I just came out of the Queen Mother and went to Concubine An's Palace." He said.

The concubine twisted the brocade in her hand.

"Let's go, let's go see Concubine An." She took a deep breath and said with a smile on her face.

At this time, the king of Jin'an County also put down the tea bowl and prepared to leave.

"That's right." He smiled, thinking of something, "Is your family still talking to you about your family now?" ”

Family affairs? Why do you say this all of a sudden?

Banqin looked up.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

The King of Jin'an smiled a little smugly and stretched out his finger to point at himself.

"I have." He laughed.

Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly.

"Congratulations to Your Highness." She said.

The king of Jin'an County smiled and waved his hand.

"No, no." He said. "They mentioned it, but I pushed it."

Speaking of which, he reached out and touched his nose.

"I think I was sent to the palace by my parents since I was a child, and it has always been someone else's decision, and I have never been my own master." He said, smiling and exhaling, "So I want to make my own decisions." ”

Cheng Jianniang nodded loudly.

"Have you ever wondered who you're going to marry?" King Jin'an said.

After saying this, she looked at the maid with a strange expression, and then looked at Cheng Jianniang who seemed to be slightly stunned.

This one... Isn't this an inappropriate topic?

Shouldn't friends say this?

"Didn't think about it." Cheng Jianniang said, "I met... Just get it. ”

Encountered. See, that's all. There are so many whys.

She picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea slowly.

"I didn't think about it, I guess so."

Here, the king of Jin'an County hurriedly laughed twice, ending this strange topic.

"Anyway, I'm in charge now, so I've pushed it off."

As he said this, he got up and took his leave.

"Are you calling your own shots?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked suddenly.

The king of Jin'an County jumped in his heart for no reason, and he sighed.

Yes, he can call the shots, and he won't let them stuff someone to him casually...

No, don't worry.

Feel relieved? She, what is she worried about, it's not her business...

King Jin'an felt uncomfortable.

"Oh, that's right." He had another flash of inspiration, "I'm going to make a bet with you." ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him, and sure enough, she didn't continue the topic.

"You bet with me?" She asked.

"That's right, just bet..."King Jin'an County thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Just bet on whether there is a lunar eclipse on the fifteenth." ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and smiled slightly.

"You're betting this with me?" She asked again.

"Yes, just bet on this, I don't believe it, you really will be so accurate." King Jin'an said seriously.

"When the ugly hour is four moments, I see that the West is five degrees in the wing, and the six quarters are even eight points strong to the turbidity." Cheng Jianniang said, "Do you still want to gamble?" [Note 1]

King Jin'an smiled, this was the first time he had seen this woman talk to him in such a tone.

It seems that the chamberlain was right....

"Bet." He said, "If you lose, give it to the other party.....1000 times." ”

Banqin was so stunned that she didn't look at it anymore.

Bet? A thousand?

The two of them, who lacks this money.

She swept her eyes over the two and saw Cheng Jianniang nodding.

"Okay." She said.

"If you lose, don't pay your bills."

King Jin'an smiled and stretched out his finger at her, turned around and strode away, and the smile on his face when he stepped out of the door did not decrease, but became stronger.

It's lost.

The more King Jin'an thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.

"Your Highness."

The slightly higher voice made the king of Jin'an come back to his senses and look at the curtain that was lifted.

An attendant was asking a little.

"Are you going to enter the palace now?"

"What are you doing in the palace?" King Jin'an asked.

The chamberlain was stunned.

"Your Highness, did Mrs. Cheng tell you about the lunar eclipse?" He asked.

The king of Jin'an County sighed, hurriedly collected his expression, and thought for a while.

"No, don't enter the palace first, I want to see someone first." He said.

This time, Guo Yuan arrived first. Or this room. It's just that there is no meal in front of me.

When looking to the east and west. The door was opened, and still seeing the cloak flying, someone strode in, Guo Yuan hurriedly lowered his head and saluted.

"I asked for you."

The voice floated overhead, pleasant and light, so that anyone who heard it could feel that he must be laughing.

The man seemed to be in a good mood, much better than the last time I saw him.

"What did you ask for me?" Guo Yuan asked a little stunned, while raising his head.

In front of him stood a handsome young man, shining in front of the golden lotus screen behind him.

"The lunar eclipse." King Jin'an said with a slight smile. "You're right, on the fifteenth, you can see that the west is five degrees in the wing, and the six quarters are even eight minutes strong enough to be turbid."

Hearing the familiar term, Guo Yuan came back to his senses with a wit.

"When the ugly hour is four moments, I see that the West is five degrees in the wing, and the six quarters are even eight points strong to the turbidity." He repeated, looking horrified, "This, is this calculated?" ”

"Of course, can a lunar eclipse be seen?" King Jin'an said.

Calculated out... It's so accurate...

Guo Yuan looked at him and saluted.

"The students have seen His Highness. Ask Your Highness for advice. He said in a trembling voice.

King Jin'an laughed.

"I'll talk about that later, I'll tell you now. You can do what you have to do. He said.

Guo Yuan was stunned again and raised his head.

"What should students do?" He asked.

"Aren't you a student of Si Tiantai? Palm the astronomical calendar, replacing it with the sky. The King of Jin'an said with a smile, "Since you have calculated the celestial phenomena, you should go and tell Your Majesty to know about it, so as to deal with it." ”

Guo Yuan looked at him with a slightly panicked expression.

"Student," he said hesitantly.

"Don't you want to, or don't you dare?" King Jin'an asked.

Don't want to? Can't?

"The students are only shallow in their studies, and they are a little superficial...."Guo Yuan lowered his head and said.

"That's okay, someone knows more than you, and she approves of your deduction." King Jin'an interrupted him and said.

"But, the students... Grown-ups won't agree. Guo Yuan looked up and said.

"You report what you should do and want to do, and it's their business to agree or disagree with whether they agree or not."

The king of Jin'an County said with a slight smile, lifted his clothes and stepped on a few cases, leaned over to look at Guo Yuan, and looked at the young student's eyes that flashed with restlessness and unwillingness.

"Do you dare to bet on that? Do you just want to be a student? Under those who are doing nothing, no, after this time, you may have to carry the burden and be kicked out of the rooftop, and go somewhere to be a chronicler for the rest of your life. ”

Guo Yuan lowered his head and his expression changed.

"That's fine, though." King Jin'an smiled, clapped his hands and stood up straight, "You can still do what you should do and want to do, but..."

He smiled.

"Speak it to yourself, write it to yourself, and read it for future generations."

Lonely and quiet doing their own thing.

Guo Yuan's hand on his lap was clenched, the cloak in front of him was brushed, and the sound of footsteps opened the door and left.

Do you dare to bet on such a once, if this time it is really reported and a lunar eclipse occurs, then he will become famous in one fell swoop.

If it doesn't happen...

The emperor does not kill Wenchen, but the identity of Si Tiantai's officials is special and is not among those who do not kill, and it is not for nothing that Wenchen who is involved in the change of celestial phenomena is killed.

Guo Yuan sat in the hall for a long time without moving, until someone opened the door.

"Guest?" Zhike asked.

Guo Yuan turned his head to look at him.

"What are you going to use?" Zhi asked politely.

Guo Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Well, has the money been paid?" He asked suddenly.

Zhike nodded with a smile.

"Let's do the same as last time." Guo Yuan sat up straight and said.

Zhike responded by withdrawing.

If you want to die, you have to be a full ghost!

Guo Yuan picked up the tea bowl in front of him and drank it all with pride.

…………………………………………………….

On the sunset day, after the court meeting, the Zhongshu Province continued to review the documents and chapters handed over from all over the place.

One of the clerks picked up a copy and was a little surprised.

"It turned out to be Si Tiantai's astronomy class." He said, "It's rare, and do you want to say that the calendar is wrong and re-presume?" ”

As he said this, he opened the recital, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"There is food in Juneteen, begging for stories, and begging for heavenly precepts."

Lunar eclipse?

The little official stood up sharply.

There's a lunar eclipse?!

Lunar eclipse, bad omen, from the top of the king, from the beginning of the king lost the way, from the side of the order of the phase, from the bottom of the law will be lost.

"Really? That's a big deal! ”

The little official shouted, turned around and ran out with the concerto.
