The next day, there was a court hall, as soon as Emperor Chaohui sat down, several imperial historians stepped forward and accused the toast of being lax and ignoring the rules of etiquette. Emperor Zhaohui glanced at the old wine sacrifice, pressed the fold down and did not attack.

What happened in these courts was nothing, and what was really terrifying was that overnight, a ballad was being recited all over the imperial city and in the streets and alleys:

I wish the family a good girl, the first person in the imperial city;

Choose a wife for your brother and a husband for yourself.

not to be the wife of the main hall, but to be the concubine of the Jiang family;

The dowry is sixty lifts, and being a concubine can be compared to a wife.

The Jiang family had great luck, and taking concubines was like marrying a wife;

The main gate welcomes the concubine, and the side door wants to divorce his wife;

But when I see the newcomer laughing, I don't hear the broken heart.

The Jiang family has deep rules, and hundreds of schools want to follow suit;

The concubine should be the wife, what does the wife do?

At first, this ballad was only sung among civilians, but two days later, a new play written by a famous opera troupe in the imperial city, called "The Boudoir Woman", was created based on Zhu Yan.

When Yan Xiaoyue was invited by Jin Qiao to Changyin Pavilion, the woman's choice of a wife for her brother was being staged on the stage in the lobby, and Yan Xiaoyue was fascinated. Hearing that there are a total of six scenes in this play, Changyin Pavilion performs two acts a day, and it is constantly staged back and forth, and Yan Xiaoyue is still unsatisfied, so she made an appointment to come back the next day.

The fame of Changyin Pavilion is almost a household name in the imperial city, and large families are even more proud of the troupe invited to Changyin Pavilion. Even the Imperial Palace is calling the pillars of Changyin Pavilion every year to perform. So in less than two days, Zhu Yan's incident was a complete sensation in the imperial city.

Jinyuan, the daughters of the Jiang family who had just seen the play got together again, "Who is the person who made up this play, it's so talented." ”

After Jiang Sixue finished speaking, Si Yao said: "Forget about the script, I think that the servant played Zhu Yan too similarly, I really doubt that he specifically observed Zhu Yan." ”

"Sister-in-law. You say, how about singing this "Boudoir Woman" in our house during the Chinese New Year this year? ”

Yan Xiaoyue stared at Jiang Sixue, "Sixue, you're too bad." How can you slap Aunt Zhu in the face like this? Hehe, though, I like it. Then it's decided, I paid for this year's stage, and I sang "The Boudoir Woman" in one night. Hey, tell me, isn't this name too good? Who is so talented, I must reward him well. ”

Jiang Sixue also laughed and said, "I'm also wondering who came up with such a brilliant idea?" Sister-in-law, who did you say hated that Zhu so much? The second sister-in-law is so gentle, she must not be able to think of such a trick, sister-in-law, what do you say? ”

Yan Xiaoyue glanced at her eyes, "Snow girl, don't put a hat on me, this idea really didn't come up with me." Why didn't I think of such a good idea? ”

Jiang Sixue rolled her eyes, "Sister-in-law, just pretend." ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked at everyone innocently. Even Xiaoxiao had a look of "it's you", Yan Xiaoyue was speechless, it was really not whether she was good or not.

"Xiaoxiao, did my father-in-law do this?"

Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she hurriedly said: "No, my father is just putting pressure on the Zhu family father and son in the court, and my mother has also cut off contact with the Zhu family." ”

So Yan Xiaoyue was also confused, and suddenly thought: Could it be Zhao Cheng, he came up with such a good idea in order to make up for his mistakes?

And the person that Yan Xiaoyue thought of was explaining the whole story in Qianming Palace.

Qi Anning took a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. If you look closely, it is the paper on which Yan Xiaoyue wrote the ballad. Qi Anning folded the paper carefully, and saw the drawer on the left-hand side, Zhao Cheng took a look. That drawer is the most important place to put the folds.

"That's a good job, remember to put your tail away and don't show your feet."

Zhao Cheng patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I didn't even say a word about Jin Qiao." It's just to help her spread the rumors. ”

Qi Anning glanced at the past lightly, "This is a rumor?" ”

Zhao Cheng patted his head, "What, how can this be a rumor, this is true." That Zhufu rejected the Tan family's courtship, and would rather send a girl to the Jiang Mansion to be a concubine, really, uh, sell a girl for glory, and also, Sven swept the floor, or was it the mansion of the wine sacrifice ceremony? ”

Zhao Cheng wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, when did he, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the close attendant next to His Majesty, need to take care of the backyard of the court officials' houses? It's true, as long as you get involved with the county lord, it's not easy.

"Hmph, don't forget that the one next to you is close to Yueniang, and you don't have to worry about this matter in the future."

Zhao Cheng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you." ”

Raising his eyes, he saw that Qi Anning's expression was a little dissatisfied, and Zhao Cheng asked again, "Your Majesty?" ”

Qi Anning frowned, "Zhao Cheng, do you have an opinion about Yueniang?" ”

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, hurriedly waved his hand, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, don't wronged your ministers." The minister has absolute respect for the county lord, and he is the same as the Majesty of the Honored Majesty. Over the years, the county lord has given so much good wine to the minister, but it has cured the minister of many stubborn diseases, if the minister is still dissatisfied with the county lord, is it still a person? ”

"Then why do you seem to be a little reluctant to help Yueniang do things?"

Zhao Cheng scratched his head, "It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that the minister is really not used to doing things like this, it was better before, but now that Jin Qiao is married, he likes to ask the minister whenever he has something, and the minister is so scared that he can't speak every time." ”

Qi Anning's eyes were full of fun, "I didn't expect the majestic commander to be afraid!" ”

Zhao Cheng stopped doing it when he heard this, "Your Majesty, why are you afraid?" It's just that Jin Qiao asked the minister vigorously, if the minister didn't answer, she wouldn't let the minister enter her room, and she beat, but the minister couldn't beat her. "Speaking of the back, she is full of grievances, like a battered little daughter-in-law.

Qi Anning laughed directly when he saw it, but his heart began to envy this subordinate who accompanied him in life and death. If Yueniang can be by his side, he will beat him every day, and he will be willing to drink.

However, it was also a pleasure for him to be able to watch her from afar, watch her and solve her problems now, as if the distance between them had been shortened a lot.

Tasting the fragrant tea at the corner of his mouth, looking at the snacks and fruits on the desk, these are all prepared for him by Yueniang, although he opened his mouth to come, but he can see it every day, smelling all kinds of aromas, as if she was by her side. Only in this way does the days of Qianming Palace seem to be less boring, and the atmosphere is much lighter.

But in this way, the harem is in a hurry, and it is rare for His Majesty to enter the harem once a month, and the delicate beauty like flowers is not watered, no one appreciates it, and it has become sluggish. However, the queen mother thought that this was because there were too few women in the harem, so the emperor did not want to enter the harem, so she wanted to choose a few more lovely people for the emperor in next year's election.
