Yu Wenjin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the person in the painting again and again, and for a long time, he frowned and sighed: "It's not appropriate." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Doing so may hurt the old minister's face. After all, she is the daughter of an important minister, and it is too ridiculous to trick into the palace to detain it.

Empress Chen's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, the list has just been released, and the concubines heard that many princely sons have also participated in the selection examination, and the results are excellent, and there are several princes and generals, each with their own achievements." If the emperor took the opportunity to announce the entry of the younger generation of his ministers into the palace, first, to get close to the princes, and secondly, to palm the princesses who are about to become adults. The princesses are shy, and it is not too much to find a few courtiers to accompany them. The juniors, but there are outstanding people, they are rewarded on the spot, and the courtiers are only happy, how can they be displeased? In addition, the monarch and the ministers are happy together, and the emperor also loves the courtiers. ”

Yu Wenjin looked at the portrait and was silent for a long time.

Empress Chen smiled slightly, and commanded: "Come on, pass the decree!" ”

On April 16, the peony in the palace was released early, and the emperor's decree was set up to feast in the imperial garden, and the courtiers of the second grade or above brought their adult sons and daughters into the palace to participate in the flower feast.

The imperial garden is full, and most of the princes and princes who are in high power will attend the banquet. Because it is the joy of the monarch and the ministers, for the sake of the sainthood, the princes sit at the same table with the sons and daughters-in-law of various families. Next to the three unmarried princesses of the dynasty, who were at the right age to marry, there were only two concubines of the family, all of whom were ordered to attend the banquet with their father and brother because of the will of the palace.

At the end of the banquet, the emperor and queen came together, and Yuwen Jin smiled approachably: "I'm afraid that I'm here, which will inconvenience Aiqing and the sons, so I'm late." ”

Everyone got up to greet them, and the black press knelt on the ground.

The emperor personally helped up a few old ministers and said, "Aiqing, please get up." "I asked the sons I didn't know where they came from. ------- princes and princes often walk in the court, he is naturally familiar with them.

The emperor proposed that with the theme of peony, the princes, princes, and sons present should each write poems, limited to one stick of incense. During the poem, the queen ordered Lu and Zheng to perform in front of the emperor. Hearing that Lu Fangfei is good at pipa, Zheng Zixin is good at Danqing, and the emperor and queen are very happy.

The poem is completed, the pipa stops, and Zheng Zixin's picture of peony has also been painted. The emperor will give out the people with outstanding poetry and writing among the sons of each family, and each will be rewarded. admired the talent of Lu and Zheng again, and the queen gave the palace people on the side a look, and the eunuch stepped forward and sang: "Lu and Zheng Ernu listen to the seal!" ”

The elders of the Lu family and the Zheng family glanced at each other, and they all saw a touch of unwillingness in each other's eyes,------ such a talented and well-cultivated daughter had to be attributed to the emperor in the twilight, how could they be willing?

But seeing Lu Fangfei kneeling and kowtowing, her delicate face was calm and waveless, and she said loudly: "The courtier's qualifications are not good, so I dare not be rewarded!" ”

It is very lively, and the crowded Imperial Garden is quiet.

Without waiting for the queen to say something to stop her, Lu Fangfei said quickly: "The courtiers know a person, and her appearance is ten times better than mine!" The courtier's hand is not worth a sigh in front of this person! ”

As soon as the words fell, the garden was amazed.

Lu Fangfei is twenty-eight years old, her posture is like a willow, she is as glamorous as a peach and plum, her demeanor is pleasant, and she plays a good pipa. There is someone who is ten times more beautiful than her, and her talent is so good that she is willing to bow down?

The ministers looked at each other, some thought she was exaggerating, some refused to believe it, and some wanted to see the person's demeanor.......

I heard the queen say: "Miss Lu Er doesn't have to be too humble.......

Lu Fangfei kowtowed heavily and interrupted the queen: "The courtiers have half a lie, and they are willing to be punished by the queen's mother!" ”

There was a low voice of discussion in the garden, and several bold sons asked in a low voice, "Whose girl is it?" Is there really someone who can beat Miss Lu Er, who is ten times more talented and beautiful? Isn't it Miss Lu Er's modest words? ”

Lu Fangfei said: "The courtiers dare not deceive the emperor and the queen, the emperor and the queen want to reward me for my clumsy skills, how dare the courtiers be rewarded with shame?" The emperor and queen haven't heard of that person's piano skills, and haven't seen that person's demeanor, isn't it a pity? ”

The queen couldn't bear it anymore, frowned and asked, "Who is that?" Why have you never heard of it? ”

Under the seat, the head of the household, Wei Dongkang, closed his eyes heavily.

Sure enough, Lu Fangfei said: "This person is the eldest daughter of Wei Shangshu, Wei Yan!"

Wei Dongkang secretly looked at King Yong, and saw that the latter's face was not good, and he was implicitly angry. He didn't dare to look more, and listened to the queen above:

"Oh? Lord Wei, the palace has invited the ladies of the palace to the palace for a banquet, why hasn't the ladies of your mansions arrived? There was reproach in the queen's eyes.

In fact, not only the Wei Mansion, but among the ladies of the Mansions, except for Zheng Zixin and Lu Fangfei, who were named and mentioned, they had to come as ordered, and none of the other ladies participated in the banquet.

Wei Dongkang stepped forward and knelt down and said: "It's just because the little girl feels cold, so she doesn't dare to face the saint with a sick face." After that, he glared at Lu Fangfei, "Miss Lu Er praises falsely, the little girl is ugly and clumsy, how dare she compare with Miss Lu Er?" ”

Lu Fangfei bit her lip and said: "Wei Shibo is too humble, Fang Fei and Miss Wei met last year, and they admire Miss Wei's talent. In front of the emperor and queen, Fang Fei is a little woman, how dare she deceive and talk nonsense, isn't Fang Fei afraid that Your Majesty will punish me for the crime of bullying the king? The implication is that if Wei Dongkang quibbles again, hiding his daughter and not allowing him to face the saint, it is a bully.

The emperor is above, how can you not know what these two people mean? At that moment, Long Yan was slightly angry and snorted coldly.

In an instant, the park was silent.

Empress Chen said: "It turns out that Miss Wei is sick!" Come! ”

A palace man bowed forward and listened to the order: "Take the four flavors of Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, mountain ginseng, and bear bile in the palace, and send them to the Wei Mansion immediately to visit Miss Wei!" If Miss Wei is better, please enter the palace quickly! ”

Wei Dongkang kowtowed again and again to thank him, and only said, "Don't dare to bother the queen mother to worry about the little girl."

The palace people had to be ordered to go, and Queen Chen smiled and said: "Lord Wei, don't blame, this palace is the head of the harem, the mother of the world, and it is also the duty to care for the ministers and their relatives." Besides, Miss Wei is sick, for the sake of Lord Wei's heartfelt feelings to the emperor and the court, the palace should also care more about Miss. Miss Wei is such a talented woman, and she hasn't seen her in this palace before, it's a pity! The weather is good today, and I want to come to Miss Wei with a little wind and cold, so it won't be in the way to walk around. ”

Wei Dongkang had no choice but to say "yes".

The queen ordered the drum music, and the park was noisy and lively again, but in everyone's hearts, it was inevitable that Wei Yan, who was ten times better than the first beauty in Kyoto, Lu Fangfei, was full of curiosity and expectation.

After only about three or four songs, the palace people flew to report: "Miss Wei has arrived!" ”

A figure dressed in azure smoky silk hurriedly walked into the imperial garden.
