Chapter 6

At night, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and the chips are 'intertwined'...... The update is so fast.

On the main throne sits the emperor who looks down on the world, he sits the queen mother in one hand, and Empress Chen in the other, and beside Empress Chen, is Lin Guifei, who has been quite favored recently.

Meng Yuan and Prime Minister sat together, and Aunt Lin and Meng Rou sat behind them, because there were people in front of them, and they were almost impossible to see, which was also a matter of course.

The aunt and the concubine were not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, and the two of them were able to enter the palace today because of the blessing of Concubine Lin. When it comes to Lin Guifei, I have to talk about the Lin family in Jiangnan. Although Aunt Lin was only a room when she was brought into the Meng Mansion, her background was not low, but it was a little worse than the Meng family, who had been important ministers in the court for generations.

Back then, Prime Minister Meng was not the prime minister, he went to Suzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River on business, and it happened that Aunt Lin's father was the official who received him.

When she saw Master Meng for the first time, Lin Wan was shocked, and she always hoped to marry him, but she also knew that her identity was very different from him, and she couldn't be a wife.

Later, she used the means to let the mother of the Meng Mansion carry her into the house to make a room for her son, although the reputation is very low, but at that time, the youth 'Chun' was young, just thinking that she could be by her beloved's side, who knew that there would be people's "true love" later, that is, Meng Yuan's mother, General Weiyuan's 'daughter' Cheng Yi.

When Prime Minister Meng Cheng married Cheng Yi, there was only one single seedling left in General Weiyuan's Mansion, one of the two was the 'daughter' of the martyrs who died on the battlefield, and the other was a handsome son from a family, they were really a natural pair. How things will play out, there is little need to think about it.

"Mother?" Meng Rou saw that her mother looked unhappy, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Wan came back to her senses and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, the concubine will give you a chance to show you, don't lose your manners, remember what your mother taught you." ”

"Don't worry, I remember it all." Meng Rou nodded in response.

Lin Wan was a little happier at this time, raised her eyes and looked at the banquet, several princes had already sat down, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan was toasting the emperor, the second prince Zhao Yin was not looking at it with 'yin' or yang, the fourth prince was mourning his 'legs', and the fifth prince didn't seem to be very happy, the most calm was Zhao Chen, who was busy with chopsticks in his hand.

During the lively banquet, only he didn't 'socialize' with others, and his appearance and bearing did not blame his own 'daughter' for secretly agreeing, even many of the other ladies at the banquet were peeking at him, but he didn't seem to feel it at all, and he stayed out of the matter indifferently.

The two 'females' behind him were restless, and Meng Yuan had known it for a long time. She didn't care, she ate in a dignified and demure manner, she was too anxious when she came, she didn't eat anything, she was already hungry.

After a while, a maidservant 'girl' suddenly came to her side, put the plate in her hand on her table, and said in a low voice after inviting An: "Miss Meng, this is what His Royal Highness asked the slave to bring to you." ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng was 'talking' with the officials next door, and he didn't pay attention to this, but Aunt Lin and Meng Rou behind Meng Yuan looked over.

Miss Meng, Miss Meng! She Meng Rou is also Miss Meng, why in the eyes of others, the daughter of the Meng family seems to be only Meng Yuan!

"What is this?" Meng Yuan looked at the snow-white food on the plate, and had actually guessed what it was, but he didn't say it.

"Your Highness saw that you ate that fish so seriously, so he picked a thorn and asked the slave maid to bring it to you."

The maid smiled like a 'flower', and Meng Yuan's face turned red when she saw it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for me."

It turned out that he was busy with chopsticks just now not to fill his own stomach, but for her? This realization is really sad and joyful.

Will he think she's too greedy and doesn't look like a lady? But I'm really hungry, and I'm even hungrier when I see the 'meat' of the fish without spines.

I couldn't help but look up in the direction where he was, he was whispering to the eldest prince, his cold eyes narrowed, majestic and sharp, and his momentum was 'forced'.

I have to admit that the royal genes are good, Zhao Chen was born as a 'jade' person, although the royal children sitting next to him are all royal children with extraordinary aura, he forcibly compares them to a few points worse, I think it is the inheritance of the legendary Empress Changwen, who is a beautiful fairy, and the appearance of this robe and golden crown really has the ability to 'confuse' and 'confuse' people's hearts.

Zhao Chen's biological mother, Empress Changwen, was the first empress of His Majesty today, and she was also the crown princess of Emperor Long Qian.

Empress Changwen had a very close relationship with the emperor, but her fate was weak, and she left when the third highness was less than a full moon, which in a sense is similar to Meng Yuan's experience.

After three rounds of drinking, the queen mother left first because she was weak, and the emperor was a filial son, and personally sent her mother back to the palace, so it was Queen Chen's turn to preside over the banquet. As soon as the queen mother had exchanged pleasantries with the ministers, Concubine Lin Guifei spoke.

"Queen Mother, such a beautiful day, wouldn't it be disappointing to only drink?" Lin Guifei said coquettishly.

Empress Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "Sister, what is there to mention?" ”

Concubine Lin Guifei got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "The concubine is not talented, thinking that today's capable ministers and good generals of my Great Zhou have brought their relatives here, why don't you let the ladies of all families write poems on the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival, what does the queen think?" ”

"That's a good idea." Empress Chen thought about it, nodded and said, "Then who does my sister think it's better to start?" ”

Lin Guifei's apricot eyes bent, and she said softly: "Where dare you be a concubine, you all listen to the queen." ”

Empress Chen retracted her gaze with a smile and said calmly: "In this way, let's start with Prime Minister Meng Cheng, this palace has long heard that Prime Minister Meng's 'daughter' is the first beauty in Beijing, and when I see it today, she is really more beautiful than before." ”

The queen's praise, Meng Yuan naturally will not shirk again, Meng Chengxiang smiled proudly: "The queen mother praised it falsely, but the little 'girl' didn't like to 'chanting' poems since she was a child, let her write poems, I'm afraid it will pollute the ears of Niangniang and your colleagues." ”

Empress Chen said with a smile: "Where, happy today, don't be stuck here, the prime minister's daughter will start up." ”

In fact, if Meng Yuan was in her previous life, she was really not too 'proficient' in poetry, and she was better at piano and chess and 'female' red. But after meeting Su Jichen later, because of his influence, Meng Yuan was somewhat good at poetry, so when Lin Wan and Meng Rou were ready to see her jokes, they listened to her and wrote a poem after a little thought.

Meng Rou's expression was almost unbearable, her fingers twisted her clothes hard, Lin Wan saw the 'girl' like this, held her hand and shook her head.

Meng Rou took a deep breath, calmed down her feelings, and said in her heart, it was just a shallow poem, barely able to pass the test, and she couldn't get on the stage.

Her comments are also pertinent, Meng Yuan's poems do not have any artistic conception, they are barely neatly on the topic, although they are not outstanding, but they are not ashamed.

It's just that Zhao Chen's reaction made Meng Yuan a little uncomfortable, is it strange that she can compose poems? Why did he look at her in surprise, as if she was possessed by a demon.

Meng Yuan was not happy in his heart, and he glared at him without holding back for a while, Zhao Chen was stared at like this, his phoenix eyes bent, and this smile made all the surrounding qiΔ“ lose his color.

Since the Third Highness picked a fish bone for Meng Yuan just now, Meng Rou has been very unhappy. Seeing them interact like this again made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, when it was her turn, she did her best to express herself, and the poems she composed not only pointed to the topic, but also remembered the soldiers who died on the battlefield to defend their homes and defend the country.

The queen mother nodded silently, and the others began to praise. Meng Rou kept looking at Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen didn't have any special reaction, which made her disappointed, and her heart was like a pinprick.

This poem was written by her special 'door' for him, he began to lead troops to fight when he was a teenager, and in recent years the border has stabilized before returning to Beijing, she thought that her poem could make him look at it differently, but he didn't seem to hear it at all!

Sitting down with resentment, Meng Rou didn't say a word with red eyes, Meng Chengxiang glanced back at her and shook his head wordlessly.

Meng Yuan has always been very calm, as if she hadn't found anything, until all the young ladies finished writing poems and Lin Guifei came out with a moth again, she frowned a little.

"The ladies are really extraordinary, and this palace is really a feast for the ears today." The queen mother exclaimed.

Lin Guifei echoed: "What the queen said is very true, but the concubines are thin, but I can't hear which poem can be the leader." ”

Concubine Li, who was sitting next to Concubine Lin, said: "The concubine has a concubine, why don't you let the royal palaces present choose their favorite one, and choose the most elected among them as the leader, how about it?" ”

Lin Guifei smiled with satisfaction: "The concubine thinks it's good, but it still depends on the meaning of the queen." ”

Empress Chen looked at Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen didn't have anything to say, she had nothing to do, and she followed Concubine Lin's wishes.

"Then let's do it."

So, several princes began to comment on the poems, and the eldest prince was the first to vote, and he voted for Meng Rou, which made Meng Rou excited again, not as disappointed as Fang Cai.

Zhao Yin followed Zhao Xuan's choice and also voted for Meng Rou, Meng Rou 'excitedly' held her mother's hand, because she was nervous, she didn't notice Meng Yuan's meaningful gaze, but Aunt Lin saw it.

Aunt Lin bowed slightly towards Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan smiled lightly, retracted her gaze and waited to listen to Zhao Chen's choice.

In her mind, Zhao Chen should also vote for Meng Rou, because even she felt that he would definitely like that poem. He is such a person with a clear distinction between public and private, he will argue with her father in front of the emperor, let alone choose a poem.

He wouldn't be biased against her, that's what she thought. However, things often turn out unexpectedly.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Chen would vote for Meng Rou, he put down the wine bottle and said without changing his face: "I think that although the first poem is a little less imposing, it is more suitable for today's occasion." ”

Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Chen in surprise, wasn't the first poem she wrote? What does he mean by that...... Are you going to choose her?

Looking at Meng Yuan's stunned appearance with his mouth wide open, Zhao Chen raised his lips indifferently, and a pair of phoenix eyes seemed to stare at her affectionately, indescribably arrogant.

With such a appearance, a fool can see what he is for-- it turns out that the Third Highness, who has never been close to 'women' and 'sex', is also a lover!

However, as if to cope with everyone's secretive expressions, His Royal Highness quickly gave the reason for his choice.

"Dragon Boat Festival, such a banquet, the second poem is too murderous."

Although he did not directly praise Meng Yuan, he clearly expressed that he did not like Meng Rou's poems, Meng Rou was very sad, but he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and his hatred for Meng Yuan in his heart was a little deeper.

It's just that, although he won Zhao Chen's vote, Meng Yuan finally lost to Sun Shan and lost to other ladies.

But Meng Rou, who won the top spot, was not happy at all, and she was still sullen until she returned home, compared to her, Meng Yuan was so happy.

As long as she thinks of tomorrow, she is very excited, because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Zhao Chen said that he would take her to see the dragon boat race - only the two of them
